Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 241 The Great Qing Still Needs Loyal Officials

The public trial of Qianlong was an idea in Emperor Zhu's mind.

In his opinion.

The crimes committed since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs must have a symbolic end with sufficient weight.

Especially, if Manchurians are to be regarded as Chinese Cossacks.

The trial of "all crimes attributed to the emperor of Aixinjueluo" in the true sense is even more necessary.

There are roughly 150 million people in the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Monan Mongolia have almost merged into one after a 200-year marriage.

There are also more than one million people in the Mongolian tribes in Monan.

This adds up to a population of more than 300 million.

Not to mention the current technical means.

Even if you use the method of fighting against the Germans in World War II, you can't kill them.

If you can't kill them, then there are millions of people who are the sworn enemies of Daming!
It would be very troublesome for these people to carry out terrorist attacks in big cities with bearded beards strapped to bombs every day after learning from the future - the current population of the Ming Dynasty is so mobile, no matter how powerful the Jinyiwei is, it is impossible to control everything.

And Emperor Zhu is also a modern good young man who has been educated by me for more than ten years.

When I was in school, I had Mongolian and Manchu classmates.

Later generations are all relatives in Greater China. Although some are closer, on the whole we still get along relatively harmoniously.

I really have to make up my mind to slaughter more than 300 million Manchurian tribes
This decision is really difficult.

What's more, Tsarist Russia is now ready to move on the border, which also gives Manchuria a chance.

Now that Emperor Zhu wanted to use Manchuria as a sword, he naturally wanted to reassure all the tribes of Manchuria and Mongolian.

Then a public trial of "all crimes attributed to Qianlong, and the rest will not be questioned" seems very symbolic.

But how does Qianlong want to interrogate.

How does Manmeng become a Daming Cossack?

The specifics need to be carefully considered.

West Liaoning, Ningyuan.

The Liaodong Corps of the Ming Army is ready to attack Shanhaiguan in an all-round way.

Ma Xinmin, who was hired by the Liaodong Corps as an army man, has withdrawn from the artillery position that has just been built.

A huge barrel-shaped mortar pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

Ma Xinmin touched his sore shoulders. This was the first time he had seen such a huge and heavy shell.

A cannonball requires two civilian men to carry it on the ground with a pole.

This is a hillside about one mile away from Shanhaiguan.

The mortar position is set on the reverse slope of the hillside, the purpose is to avoid being directly aimed at by the city defense artillery on the Shanhaiguan Pass.

The mortar set at this position can throw the shells into Shanhaiguan.

"Hey, have you heard? The emperor of the Tartars has been captured, and Agui in Shanhaiguan will not last long."

"Not to mention anything else, sleepiness has trapped them to death 1"

"I heard that in the past few days, a lot of persuading letters have been sent in."

"It's a pity. Originally, Ah Gui could still be their Manchurian Wu Sangui, but now it's all right. Qianlong has been arrested, and even if he wants to be Wu Sangui, he can't do it."

The peasants who carried the cannonballs up the mountain were much more relaxed when they went down the mountain, and walked down the path along the hillside talking and laughing.

It was really hard work for them to carry the shells up the mountain these days.

Fortunately, the food standard of the Ming army was good.

Three meals a day.

I woke up in the morning and ate meat buns or noodles with canned whale meat——the demand for whale oil in Daming is huge, so there are many large private businessmen in the Pearl River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary forming whaling teams to go to sea Catch big fish.

So now whale meat is very cheap. Of course, fresh meat can be bought unless you live by the sea. Other places can only eat dried meat, cured meat, and canned meat.

And the Grand Marshal's Mansion also paid for a lot of whale meat for critical supply to the front line.

These days eating whale meat makes me feel like throwing up—Ma Xinmin didn't expect that one day he would smell the meat and it would change color.

And he heard that the taste of this whale meat is almost the same as that of pork - Ma Xinmin has never eaten pork, after all, his whole family is an honest believer.

I don't know if those Han peasants lied to him.

There is a meal of rice at noon, and the dishes are fried by Hunan masters in the army.

Ma Xinmin was not used to eating at first, but later he got used to it—he did a lot of hard work, and the Hunan local dishes with heavy oil and salt can indeed replenish salt and physical strength.

Evening is also rice.

Worked for months.

Ma Xinmin actually gained a lot of weight every time he lost weight
With such sufficient protection for civilian husbands, it is not difficult to understand that the Ming Dynasty fought fiercely.

"Today's work is over. I heard that the military station in Vladivostok is going to recruit people from us. If you go, you will have the opportunity to join the army first."

someone said.

Ma Xinmin pricked up his ears.

If he can enlist in the army, it would be a good way out for Ma Xinmin. He knows a little bit of writing, and if he makes contributions in the army, he can be recommended to the Army and Naval Academy for further study.
The current Ming Dynasty did not practice the style of gentleness and martial arts.

And civilian officials usually have little control over the military.

Peng Jun, the governor of Liaodong, had to be the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps if he wanted to manage the army.

So today's Ming Dynasty has come to an era of shining military uniforms!
The generous treatment of the soldiers has greatly attracted the enthusiasm of young people to join the army.

Therefore, if the current Ming Dynasty expands its army, it is not afraid that no one will do it.

At this time, Peng Jun, governor of Liaodong, also held a telescope to observe Shanhaiguan.

"Zongzhen, it seems that Ah Gui doesn't want to be Wu Sangui anymore."

Feng Zhaoji, one of the brigade commanders beside Peng Jun, laughed.

"If you don't do it, then don't do it. The emperor has issued an order, and you can attack Shanhaiguan!"

Peng Jun put down the binoculars and said regretfully.

Not being able to lead the troops to participate in the Battle of the Central Plains really missed a lot of opportunities for meritorious service
However, the Liaodong Corps was watching here in the west of Liaoning, which also prevented the Qing court's army in Guihua City from coveting Liaodong.

"Since Ah Gui doesn't want to be Wu Sangui, let's be his loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty." Peng Jun took out his pocket watch, "At a quarter of noon, the mortar positions and howitzers were fully launched, blowing Shanhaiguan to the ground!!"

Peng Jun said sharply.

Through hot air balloon reconnaissance, it can be found that Agui has built a large number of parapets and trenches in Shanhaiguan, and may have dug some caves for Tibetan soldiers.

Trying to use these fortifications to cause huge damage to the Ming army.

Of course, Peng Jun would not cause his subordinates to suffer huge casualties because of a Shanhai Pass!
therefore.

Only those huge mortars will be moved up the mountain, when the time comes.
Mortar shells weighing more than 60 kilograms will be thrown into the pass, and the violent explosion will blow up all the facilities temporarily built by the Qing army.

If nothing else
After this round of shelling.

It is estimated that there are not many people who can move in Shanhaiguan.

Inside Shanhaiguan.

The Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Army who had been surrounded for half a year sat around the iron pot.

The few soybeans in the iron pot have become thinner and thinner.

There are only a few soybeans in the current pot, but a large pot of water is boiled.

Many Eight Banners soldiers were too hungry to walk, leaning against the wall and staring at the noon sun with numb expressions.

Because the Great Wall near Shanhaiguan was blown up by the Ming army.

The current Shanhaiguan is actually an "isolated pass", and it is impossible to replenish troops and materials through the Great Wall-in fact, the Qing court can no longer take into account the defenders of Shanhaiguan.

Originally, Ah Gui asked someone to plant sweet potatoes on the nearby hillside, but the Ming army gave him a slap in the face.

So now there is basically no food in Shanhaiguan, and the war horses have been killed to make bacon—the beans and wheat fed to the horses are all eaten by people.

If the Ming army continues to besiege. ,

Sooner or later, the tragedy of "human cannibalism" will appear in Shanhaiguan.

The "rumors" that came out two days ago shook the hearts of the soldiers in Shanhaiguan.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was arrested, and the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Central Plains War. The [-]th and [-]th elder brothers in Beijing competed for the throne.

The Qing Dynasty was virtually over.

However, these rumors were resolutely refuted by the guard general Agui.

It is claimed that these are all "propaganda wars" by the Ming army to shake the morale of the army.

The Qing Dynasty was as stable as Mount Tai in the Central Plains!
However, Agui's words obviously couldn't inspire the fighting spirit of these guards.

Although they don't know whether the news that the Qing emperor was arrested is true or false.

But up to now, the fact that there is no reinforcements and no food is obvious.

Even if Qianlong hadn't been arrested, it would be more obvious that the Qing Dynasty was at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

Ah Gui was still neatly dressed and came out to inspect.

It's just that the gloomy look on his face is still hard to hide.

Of course he knew that the arrest of Emperor Qianlong was probably true.

It is probably true that the 10,000+ Eight Banners army was defeated.

Maybe the whole city of Beijing now belongs to Daming
He, the defender of Shanhaiguan, wants to be Wu Sangui, but he can't do it.
It seems that I have to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.

Why does the Qing Dynasty have loyal ministers?

Ah Gui thought.

Just now.

boom! boom! boom!
Intensive muffled sounds came from the Ming army's position in the north.

Agui looked around.

All I saw was round, gigantic cannonballs rising from behind an unknown mountain, tumbling towards the interior of Shanhaiguan.

"This is."

Agui was taken aback for a moment.

With dozens of shells falling to the ground.

boom! !

The extremely violent explosion shook the entire pass.

Ah Gui staggered and was knocked to the ground.

Eardrums buzzing.

Geshha next to him was talking anxiously in his ear, but Agui couldn't hear anything.

Blood came out of nostrils and ears.

Such a violent explosion, even if you hide in a cave, you are afraid that you will be shocked to death, right?

Ah Gui thought.

next moment.

Dozens of shells flew into the sky again
"What a great power!"

Peng Jun also looked at the scene in the telescope in horror.

"General Town, this is a siege gun specially designed by the Lantau Arsenal. What stands out is the explosive power. A shell is filled with dozens of catties of yellow powder."

Feng Zhaoji, who was beside him, said with emotion.

"From this point of view, the defenders in the pass should not be spared. Let's attack after the shelling lasts for half an hour!"

"Follow the order!"

Peng Jun looked at Shanhaiguan.

At this point, the Liaodong Corps will join forces with the Guards Corps and the Northern Expedition Corps.

Drive into Beijing city mightily! !
Recover Shenjing and return to the old capital.
