Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 255 The Tinder of the Qing Dynasty

"I don't want this wheat anymore? What a crime!"

"Why do you have to wait until the wheat is harvested this year before leaving!"

"When the wheat is harvested, it will be winter, and I can't go away."

"Hey, who told us to lose, let's go, it's good to have a way to survive."

Listen to the complaints in your ears.

Liu Laoba was squatting on the edge of the field, smoking a dry cigarette, and his face was a little gloomy.

As the first to follow the Heavenly King Liu Zhixie to participate in the "revolution", the Old White Lotus Sect.

Liu Laoba owns a farm of more than 300 mu.

He also took three concubines, and gave birth to four male second-generation soldiers, all of whom are strong and strong, and they are sure to be better than Liu Laoba's martial arts when they grow up.

But now the Grange also had to give up.

Because the superior has issued an order that all the government soldiers should bring their families, store food, and servants to Chang'an to assemble. They will soon march westward to the Western Regions. for home.

And Liu Laoba asked Shangguan when he was on the show a few days ago.

This has to go west, and there is no delay.

Because Luo Dingshan, a general of the Ming army, took two dragoon brigades and followed them all the way, and he would not stop until they were driven to Central Asia.

So giving up this Zhuangzi was a last resort.

Watching wives and concubines crying.

Liu Laoba was also very irritable, and immediately scolded: "Why are you crying, the emperor has arranged a good place for us, and that place is richer than Guanzhong!"

Richness is richness, even if it is thousands of miles away, there is no telling how many people will die along the way.
If you can choose.

Of course Liu Laoba will choose Guanzhong.

Even if the land in Guanzhong is barren, it is at least adjacent to the Central Plains.

This went to Central Asia, thousands of miles away, who knows what will happen in the future?
It is said that the place is surrounded by powerful enemies.

A careless.

There is no place to bury it.

But Liu Laoba also knows.

If you don't go, there is no place to bury it now.

He was also an old soldier who participated in the battle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Ming Army in the Central Plains.

Already frightened by the powerful fighting power of the Ming army.

Now he doesn't dare to turn around and fight the Ming army, he can only obey the orders of the Ming court and march all the way west.

In Guanzhong.

For example, what happened in Liu Laoba's farm has happened intensively in various places in the past few days.

Now under the command of King Pingxi, there are only 1 government soldiers left.

The total force does not exceed [-].

Family members and servants, the total population is 10,000+.

And there are 50 soldiers in Lebao, and the total population of Manchu, Han, and Mongolian is about [-]. If they are mobilized to the limit, they can pull out [-] to [-] strong men.

In terms of quantity, Pingxi Fan is not as good as Lebao.

But on the one hand, the veteran soldiers under Pingxi Fan's command were not too afraid of the army under Le Bao's command-it was the Eight Banners soldiers, and there was nothing to be afraid of when they were defeated.

On the other hand, Ping Xifan also received a preferential loan from the Daming Royal Bank, and used the money to purchase a large amount of advanced ordnance.

These included [-] rifled guns and [-] well-made flintlock guns.

As such.

The vassal army under the command of King Pingxi completely eliminated all kinds of cold weapons that were still in use before, the matchlock guns made by itself, and the flintlock guns of varying quality and caliber seized from the Qing army.

A complete "gunning" has been achieved.

In addition, a hundred portable two-inch caliber field guns and a large number of shells were purchased as front-line support firepower.

With such weapons and equipment, [-] government soldiers are enough to fight against the [-] Man Qing remnants under Le Bao's command.

With the mighty migration of 10,000+ people.

Luo Dingshan also led two dragoon brigades to follow the 10,000+ "remnants of heaven" all the way westward. He wanted to ensure that the remnants of heaven could clear the Western Regions. The garrison at the foot of Tianshan Mountain serves as the pillar of the Ming Empire's frontier defense forces on the western border.

In addition, the imperial court will also organize the farmland at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, with Yili as the center, and completely turn the south of the Great Wall at the foot of Tiantian Mountain into a Han land.

Western Regions Province.

Yili City.

The topography of the entire Western Region can be summarized as three mountains and two basins.

From north to south, the Altai Mountains in the north, the Tianshan Mountains in the middle, and the Kunlun Mountains in the south, dividing the Western Regions into two halves, the Tarim Basin in the south and the Junggar Basin in the north.

Among them, the vast Karamay Desert is located in the center of the Tarim Basin. The agricultural conditions are obviously not as good as the Junggar Basin between the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains in the north. It has become the most fertile farming paradise in Central Asia.

Yili is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and is the core of the Qing court's rule in the Western Regions Province.

After defeating Zhungeer, the Qing court established a large number of military settlements around Yili, and migrated 10,000+ Han immigrants from the interior. After more than 20 years of reproduction, the Han population has approached 25.

But the fertile soil at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains from Yili to Dihua, the cultivated land that can be reclaimed is definitely more than that in Guanzhong.

The population that can support is far more than 20.

Even with the current food production.

The land that can be reclaimed from this basin in the northern part of the Western Regions Province can definitely support a population of tens of millions!
The sparse population in the Western Regions is due to the war that lasted for more than 100 years.

And because this place is at the crossroads where the forces of all parties meet.

Therefore, this excellent farming land has never had the opportunity to develop steadily.

"10,000+ people, [-] government soldiers"

Inside the Governor's Palace in Lebao.

Le Bao, the short and lean governor of the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty, had a serious expression on his face.

"My lord, there are only [-] government soldiers, so let's just fight them in Dihua!"

Zhang Yulong, who used to be the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, said loudly, looking as if he was about to shout and kill.

Instead, several bannermen and generals showed fear on their faces.

"Master, you can't fight them in the Western Regions. Even if you win the Pingxi Fan, what if you provoke the Ming army?"

"Yes, yes, if you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; if you lose land and lose people, all people and land will be lost. What we have to do now is not to work hard, but to avoid its edge!"

Everyone spoke out one after another to stop Le Bao's idea of ​​raising troops to fight against the Daming Pingxi Fan army.

In fact, they are not afraid of the Pingxi Fan, but the big tiger behind the Pingxi Fan.

"Report! Your Excellency, the British envoy Wood is asking to see you!"

Hearing this, Le Bao looked at all the generals present, and said aloud: "Zhang Yulong, Zhang Shenhe stay here, the others leave for now, and then invite Mr. Wood to come in."

Zhang Yulong was a military general whom Le Bao single-handedly picked up when he was the governor of Gansu and Shanxi. Now he followed him all the way to the Western Regions.

And Zhang Shenhe was a Jinshi in the 40th year of Qianlong.

The official went to the magistrate of Ganzhou Prefecture, Gansu Province.

He also has an old relationship with Le Bao.

Now he is the counselor next to Le Bao.

These two cards are both Han Chinese, but now they have become Le Bao's right-hand men. In addition, Le Bao has incorporated all the Han people from the Western Regions into the Eight Banners-although the old Eight Banners are gone, as long as there are people, it is not difficult to rebuild the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners system was originally a system of looting and accounting for the military and the people.

It is most suitable for use in this environment.

Now under Le Bao's command, the eight banners are full of black eyes such as Mongolian and Han, and the "color eyes" of other colors have to be coated.

Le Bao made such an arrangement.

In fact, he was ready to flee west.

He has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on hand, and hundreds of thousands of Manchu, Han and Mongolian people who are unified into the Eight Banners.

Can't beat the Ming army.

Still can't beat those ghosts and monsters in the west?

Now Le Bao has proclaimed himself the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and Yao respected Jin Yongyan, the obedient king who had gone to the central capital, as the Qing emperor. He has combined the power of the Qing Dynasty in the Western Regions, and it seems that it has already become a separatist regime.

But Le Bao also knew.

The power I have at hand is not enough for the Ming Dynasty to stick between its teeth.

So you can't fight. For this little capital, if you play a little bit, it will be less. If you are not careful, you may lose all your capital in the end.

Therefore, Le Bao didn't think about fighting desperately with the Ming Dynasty for the time being, and now it was obvious that the Ming Dynasty was booming and declining.

But back then, the Ming Dynasty could have a return of the king, why couldn't the Qing Dynasty?So Le Bao thought that what he had to do was to preserve the fire of the Qing Dynasty.

It can't beat the Ming Dynasty now.

It doesn't mean you can't beat it in the future.

Maybe this descendant of the Eight Banners also has a character like Zhu Daohua, leading the big guys to go east again, and come to fight against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty.

Survival is the most important thing.

I have to preserve the fire of revival for the Qing Dynasty!

So where to go?
This matter still needs to be carefully calculated.

After all, it is related to the top priority of whether the Qing Dynasty can be revived in the future.
