Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 256 Great Qing Student Britain

"His Excellency, Governor of the Western Regions Province of the Qing Empire, Vox Wood, Special Envoy of Richard Wellesley, Governor-General of the Indian Colony of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on behalf of the Governor-General, I would like to extend my highest greetings to you."

Hearing the foreign devil babble a lot, and the general staff also translated it politely.

Le Bao nodded slightly, and said: "Mr. Wood, we may have to leave the Western Regions. The Pingxi Fan of the Ming Dynasty led [-] troops. There is no point in fighting the Pingxi Fan of the Ming Court."

Wood nodded and said: "I can understand your Excellency Governor's concerns, but your Excellency Governor still has 50 troops and a population of more than [-]. Why should you retreat in a hurry? The Ming Empire may not focus on the Western Regions Province." .”

Le Bao waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, we can't stay in the Western Regions. Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has tried to control the Western Regions. This is related to the Central Plains Dynasty's own security. This is the case in the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming court freed up , will definitely try to completely control this area, we can’t wait for the Ming Dynasty to send troops before leaving, I’m afraid there won’t be many people leaving by then.”

Wood frowned upon hearing this.

From the perspective of Britain's interests, of course he hoped that Le Bao could recklessly cherish the affairs of the Ming Dynasty here in the Western Regions.

But Lebao’s Governor’s Mansion of the Western Regions is not the Qing government that signed countless treaties and almost completely exchanged its sovereignty.
Vox Wood is not Aliza, the British Consul General in Dongjiaomin Lane.

So it is impossible for him to control what Le Bao will do.

It is normal for Lebao to make decisions based on his own interests.

"Where is your Excellency Governor going?" Wood asked.

Le Bao frowned upon hearing this.

The [-] soldiers he had at hand were actually not enough for him to fight in several Green Cult Khanates in Central Asia.

But the problem is that they are all too close to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there was a Pingxi Fan in the Ming Dynasty. If they made their home in Central Asia, they might be in danger of destroying the country at any time.

But where else but Central Asia?
To the north?
To the north is Tsarist Russia, although Le Bao is not very afraid of Tsarist Russia, because the Eight Banners soldiers under his command have all been baptized in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they know better than the Tsarist Russian shooting army how to fight wars in the bombardment era.

Going west or north doesn't seem to work.

Then you can only go south.

But the forces in the south are not easy to fight.

The first thing to face is an emerging Green Church Khanate: Durrani Dynasty.

That is the predecessor of the later Afghanistan.

This dynasty is at the peak of its national power.

Not very easy to bully.

In fact, the Britons also tried to knock on the door of this green religion country several times, but they failed many times.

The first Anglo-Afghan war in history (the war between Britain and Afghanistan) happened around the same time as the first Opium War.

The British did not invade Afghanistan until 50 years later, which shows that this place is really not very easy to bully.

"I want to acquire a piece of farming land in the south to live 50 bannermen."

LePaul said.

Half of his Han people are there, and there are 10,000+ Manchus who are not very good at herding. Although the remaining 10,000+ Mongols can herd, but grazing may not be able to support so many people.

Wood rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you take the Indus River Valley as your home?"

"Indus Valley?"

A map of India came to LePaul's mind.

This Indus River is not in the later India, but in Pakistan.

There are now several countries in this area.

The confederacy of the Sikhs, the Karat dynasty, the Talpur dynasty, and most of the Mughal empire lay on both sides of the Indus Valley.

This is indeed a farming paradise. It is a farming land comparable to the Henghe River Basin in the South Asian subcontinent, and its population density in later generations is no less than that of the Ganges River Basin.

"Going to fight the Mughal Empire?"

Lebao frowned.

"No, we have to go through Afghanistan first!"

"What if they don't borrow it?"

"Mr. Governor, is the army under your command just a display?"

Le Bao looked at the foreign devil and understood.

This foreign devil hoped that he would drag tens of thousands of people to India, fearing that it was his plan to join forces with him to deal with Ming's Indian princes' coalition forces.

But the Indus Valley is indeed a good place.

And now Le Bao is also an important minister of the Qing Dynasty who has opened his eyes to see the world. He knows that although the British have suffered in the Indian Ocean, they are still a big country in the world. An alliance with such a big country is also possible for the Qing Dynasty. Cited as strong support.

In addition, Sun Shiyi was an important minister of Lord Qianlong back then, and he had an old relationship with Fukang'an, and he had also worked with him.

I'm afraid he will think about the incense and fire back then, and won't kill the Qing Dynasty!
not to mention.

The Qing Dynasty went to India.

Could it be possible that the hand of the Great Ming Dynasty can be stretched so long?

Taking the Indus River Valley as home, this place is densely populated, and it has hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners. When the time comes, the Eight Banners will rule the local indigenous people. Isn't this a small Qing Dynasty?

At that time, I will find a way to take the fifteenth master out of it, and become the emperor in the new Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Empire will be revived!
Thinking of this, Le Bao's also thought that going south was the way to survive for the Qing Dynasty.

But the problem is.
Is it really necessary to fight the Afghans first?
I heard that the people in this place are very tough.

Aurangzeb, the great emperor of the Mughal Empire, used Indian money to hire Afghan warriors to complete the great expansion of the Mughal Empire!

The fighting skills of the people in this place cannot be underestimated.

if you can.

LePaul certainly prefers to bully the Indians rather than fight the Afghans.

But now that the Afghans stand in front of me, I don’t know if they will honestly make excuses—normally, they shouldn’t. Standing on the ass of the ruler of the Durrani Dynasty, who Willing to let tens of 10 people, and a powerful force of [-] troops walk through their own territory.

Then you can only play one game!

Le Baobugang fought the Ming army, and even the Pingxi Fan army of the Ming Dynasty.

But fight Afghanistan?

That is still very confident!

The present graveyard of the Afghan Empire has yet to flourish.

Although I also heard that the warriors here are very capable of fighting.

But so what if you can fight again?
since ancient times.

It is the barbarians in the east who beat up the barbarians in the west, and the barbarians in the north beat up the barbarians in the south.

The Da Yuezhi, who were driven away by the Huns, could dominate and establish the Da Yuezhi Empire in this area.

When the Huns were driven away, they could become the whip of God in the West.

The Turks moved west after losing battles in the east, and established a series of large and small empires in Central Asia and West Asia.

Even the current Ottomans are said to have a little connection with the Turks.

Needless to say, the Mongols went west.

It's just rolling all the way.

What he had in Lebao's hands was the Manchu-Han-Mongol coalition forces.

There's no reason you can't beat it.

"Your Excellency, your army has rich combat experience and is one of the troops most familiar with the army tactics of the new era. You can use this army to find a foothold for the Qing Empire. Now the Ming Empire is too strong, You and your subordinates can only rebuild the Qing Dynasty in an area far away from the Ming Empire!"

Vox Wood said.

"What's more, if you lead troops to the Indus River Basin, the Indian Governor's Mansion in Britain will be able to provide you with more powerful weapons. The alliance between Britain and the Qing Dynasty will definitely curb the expansion of the Ming Empire in India!!"

For the Britons.

Armed Lebao is almost nothing to think about.

In their view, Lebao and the Ming Empire are naturally sworn enemies.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

And now on the Indian battlefield.

The allied forces of the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty encroached all the way north along Bengal, putting more and more pressure on the Governor's Office of Britain and India.

If we can form an alliance with Lebao and join forces, then we can plot a decisive battle against the allied forces of Ming and Indian princes!
"I will consider going south." Le Bao said, without immediately responding.

Ward didn't expect Le Bao to make such a major decision right away, so he nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "Your Excellency Governor, we in Britain still have an unfeeling request."

"Please say?"

"We hope that His Excellency the Governor-General will send an officer corps as an adviser to guide the army of the Governor-General of Brittany in adapting to the army tactics of the bombardment era."

If people of later generations hear this sentence, they will be shocked!
Britain actually asked the Qing Dynasty to send military advisers to teach itself how to fight! !

But Vox Wood doesn't feel ashamed.

Because various new weapons appeared on the battlefield of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The development of tactics is also very rapid.

The British Army really needs to communicate with the Qing army who has experienced such "advanced weapons and tactics"
"There is no problem. You and I have a common enemy, so we should work together."

Le Bao immediately agreed.

He wants to maintain good relations with the Britons.

Because his weapons and ammunition have to be taken from Britain
