Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 248 The Fear of Britain and Tsarist Russia

Time has entered May.

The breath of summer began to spread in the land of Yanyun.

The weather is getting hotter, and the elm trees in the streets and alleys have become lush and green, and the whole capital seems to have become more enthusiastic because of this.

The alley entrance also began to become more crowded.

With the end of the war.

The surviving people everywhere are like weeds, starting to glow with vitality again.

They drilled out from every corner, worked at sunrise, rested at sunset, and started again and again. They wrote many insignificant footnotes on this ancient land, piled up the stories of princes, generals, and ministers, so that people can live glimpse.

"Hey, have you heard? The Son of Heaven is coming to Beijing soon!"

"Emperor Qianlong of the former Qing Dynasty is dead, so the emperor should have come a long time ago?"

"You don't know this. Although the emperor of the former Qing Dynasty is dead, all the Manchus in the city have to be moved away, the palace has to be repaired, and an auspicious day has to be selected before entering the city."

"It's really important."

"I heard that today's people are from Cantonese, and their old Cantonese are the most particular about this."

The topic of Hutongkou is also inseparable from the hot topic these days.

That is, the Ming court has returned.

Why say it again?
Because 150 years ago, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was hanged on the crooked neck tree of Meishan, this majestic city with a history of 2000 years in the land of Yanyun has been successively occupied by Dashun and Qing Dynasty.

The plaque on the Zhengyang Gate also changed from "Da Ming Gate" to "Da Qing Gate" written in both Manchu and Chinese.

"Have you heard? The plaque on the Zhengyang Gate is, in turn, the Daming Gate!"

Some people gossip.

"Can't it? Isn't it just a plaque?"

"Why not, when the Qing Dynasty heard that this plaque was directly used to write the Daqingmen, it was to suppress the Ming Dynasty, but it did not expect to leave a glimmer of life for the Ming Dynasty. "

"And this thing"

"Who knows."

The discussion at the entrance of the alley seemed very brisk.

Because Emperor Guangfu of Ming Dynasty said.

Everything in Ming Dynasty was governed according to the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Li stipulates that unless subjects talk about subverting the Ming regime and directly attacking the emperor, empress, and prince of Ming, other speeches will not be criminalized. Trial guilty.

Originally, the big guys didn't know much about it.

After all, there are always more than a dozen volumes for a general outline of Ming rites.

In addition, the [Rite-Suzerainty Order], [Ritual-Imperial Examination Law], [Ritual-Military Service Law], [Ritual-Agricultural Law], [Ritual-Commercial Law], etc. have been formulated. .

That's more.

And with Ming Dynasty to rule the world.

More laws are bound to be enacted.

At that time, Da Ming might also walk into the evil path of lawyers litigating and making a fortune.

It's really not advanced at all.

However, following the public trial of Qianlong, the former Qing emperor.

At this moment, almost all the scholar-bureaucrats and the people in the capital who watched the trial in the capital knew the determination of the Emperor Guangfu to carry out the ceremony!

Even Emperor Qianlong of the former Qing Dynasty was saved from being executed because he was over 80 years old-although Qianlong still died, it was because of his own anger.

It has nothing to do with Emperor Guangfu.

And this matter has been written into a play.

It's called [Tianzi Sanqi Qianlong].

Right now it's playing in the West Garden.

I don't know how many young and old people in the capital know about it.

This Emperor Qianlong is like Zhou Yu—no, not even Zhou Yu, at least Zhou Yu is good-looking.

Shocked by the grandeur of the Emperor Guangfu, he finally suffocated himself to death.

Really deserved it.

In the streets and alleys, when the old and young men in the northern capital were chatting cheerfully.

The interior of the northern capital city is also refurbished.

Trees on both sides of the street were wrapped in red cloth and hung with sun and moon flags.

The soldiers of the Guards Regiment also entered the city a few days in advance, and in the past few days, you can see patrols carrying muskets and lined up neatly.

All the officials in the city were also mobilized, and many people were hired to clean up the entire city, and the Forbidden City was also renovated.

Those palace maids and eunuchs from the former Qing Dynasty all got a severance pay and kicked them out—Da Ming didn’t use eunuchs.

During this period of time, the new things that everyone is concerned about are some rich eunuchs marrying wives.

I don't know what the eunuch is going to do when he gets married.

Watching and playing?
So now the whole city is waiting for the protagonist to come.

After 150 years, this Ming Dynasty is back again!

May [-]th.

Two rows of soldiers stood on both sides of the street from Yongdingmen to Zhengyangmen, leaving a middle avenue.

And on both sides of the road.

There are many people who come to watch the excitement.

Everyone has heard it.

The royal chariot of the Son of Heaven will go from Yongdingmen Road to Zhengyangmen and then to the imperial palace.

Naturally, ordinary people were not allowed to enter the imperial palace, but the section from Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate did not stop the crowd from watching.

Among the crowd of onlookers.

There are also some low-key crowds.

That is the diplomats stationed in Beijing from Western countries.

Since the Son of Heaven did not summon them, these diplomats who had been waiting anxiously in the northern capital finally waited until Emperor Zhu entered the northern capital.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, is now barely ruling their world."

The British ambassador, George Staunton, said rather helplessly.

What is the most regrettable thing of His Majesty King George III who is now in Windsor Castle.

That's because it didn't prevent Zhu Daohua from returning to the East.

All right now.

The Ming Empire is now the greatest threat to British world hegemony.

Moreover, the threat is so great that George Stangdong's scalp tingles just thinking about it: Britain's opponent is a country with a population of [-] million, the largest industry in the world, and the ability to produce the most advanced technology in the world. The super empire of weapons.

The power of this empire.

Maybe the whole of Europe can't be compared with it
"China is a sleeping lion, but unfortunately, this lion has now been awakened by His Majesty the Emperor."

Next to George Stendon was Russian Grand Prix Vasily Lavrov.

Now Britain and Tsarist Russia are "close allies", because both sides are consistent in their stance towards France and Ming Dynasty.

The common interest of both parties is to curb the expansion of the power of the Ming Empire.

Britain wants to stop the expansion momentum of Ming in India and Southeast Asia, and at the same time prevent the Ming Empire from focusing on their Australian colonies
And Tsarist Russia began to take a defensive position after some trials in Vladivostok, trying to defend its influence in Siberia and Central Asia.

Because of the common interests, the two parties appear to be more "close".

"Yes, I heard that Britain has failed so many times in that India, and now even the mouth of the Bengal River has been lost."

Vasily Lavrov said.

George Staunton frowned upon hearing this.

The news from the Indian battlefield is indeed worrying.

The British Calcutta Governor's Mansion, which has lost its command of the sea, cannot be fortified everywhere on the coastline of the long British Indian colony.

They simply don't have that many troops. ,

So we can only focus on defense.

And the allied forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Empire did not immediately seek a decisive battle with the British Calcutta Governor's Mansion.

Instead, relying on the deterrence of the Ming Indian Ocean Fleet, they recruited a large number of Chinese pirates, carried out raids in the British Indian colony, and plundered a lot of wealth that originally belonged to Britain!

Then they landed at weak defenses and occupied East Bengal by virtue of their strength. Now they have expanded to the lower Ganges, and joined hands with the Maratha Alliance to expand westward along the Ganges.

Things are not looking good for Britain.

with this trend.

The Indian colonies in Britain will all be occupied by the Chinese.

"Didn't your Cossacks also return home after being defeated in Vladivostok? I heard that the Ming army only dispatched half of the newly formed army brigade to defeat yours, and the opponent didn't even have any casualties."

George Staunton said.

Vasili shook his head with a wry smile and said, "George, I'm here to taunt each other and it won't help solve any problems, I think. We can reach a consensus that the military technology of the Ming Empire is already ahead of Europe, and we want to compete with such a To fight against the Empire, we need the same weapons and implement the same tactics to defeat our opponents!"

When George Staunton heard this, his face became serious.

for a long time.

The fundamental reason for the successful expansion of Europeans in the world lies in the strength of Europeans' military force.

So much land can only be occupied on the basis of strong force.

but now.

They have to face a severe situation: the rise of a terrorist empire that crushes the entire Europe in terms of population and leads Europe in military technology!

Moreover, since the birth of this empire, it has shown a strong ambition to expand abroad!

They now have armies fighting in the North, South, and West.

Ming Dynasty incorporated its domestic peasant army and formed an extremely large army ready to expand to Central Asia.

The Manchu and Mongolian tribes were also incorporated and became the capital of the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the west, and the strategic goal was also very clear-this is the war revenge against Tsarist Russia!
Tsarist Russia's tentative attack on Vladivostok.

Finally, there were dire consequences.

Vasily Lavrov stayed in the northern capital because he hoped to conduct a certain degree of diplomatic negotiations with the Ming Dynasty and avoid a war without a full-scale war with the Ming Empire. Army, it is already necessary for them to mobilize the whole country to fight against it.

But for the Ming Empire.

Provide weapons for [-] soldiers of the Western Army.

It's not something too difficult to do.

And in India, in Central Asia, in Siberia.

The expansion of Ming Dynasty did not use their core power, but the expansion was carried out by submitting to their vassals.

This is only one percent of the strength of the terrifying monster of the Ming Empire.

This
It has made Tsarist Russia and Britain realize that it is impossible for a single European country to face the behemoth of the Ming Empire!
