Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 263 Tsarist Russia is brave!
In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, in late August, 1795 AD.

At this time, beyond the Great Wall has entered autumn.

Under the azure blue jade-like sky, on the endless prairie, the pastures have gradually withered, but the autumn cattle and sheep can still be well fattened.

The sun was shining, and the sky and the ground in the distance formed a line, on a piece of land that was flat like a carpet.

A huge team is rolling forward.

At the forefront are teams of cavalry.

They were wearing red military uniforms. The only difference between them and the Ming Army was the arms on their arms. Even the muskets carried on their shoulders were all replaced with rifled guns of the second year of the Ming Dynasty!
They are the four dragoon cavalry brigades formed in advance by the capital of the Daming Zhengxiying Camp!

In March of this year, the Grand Marshal's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty began to transfer a large number of former officers of the Qing Army to the Daming Military Academy for "advancement". At the same time, it also eliminated a large number of old veterans. Zhuang Yong was promoted among the Mongolian tribes, and some of the former Eight Banners officers from the Qing army were absorbed, and at the same time, some officers from various ministries of the Ming Army were supplemented.

In this way, the four dragoon brigades of the capital of the Daming Zhengxiying Camp were established.

Due to the full reference to the treatment of the Ming Army, they can be promoted in the Ming Army after being rewarded for their meritorious service. At the same time, the main source of troops also comes from the lower-level bannermen and herdsmen of the original Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. Get too many benefits.

Therefore, in terms of loyalty, it is very guaranteed.

In addition, some officers of the Ming army were supplemented and a complete staff system was established.

After more than three months of training near Guihua City, this army has already taken shape.

They set off in early June, and it took them two months to make their way north—not at a fast pace.

But there is a reason.

The reason lies in the huge "nomadic army" behind this army!
The capital of Zhengxiyingying recruited thousands of Mongolian herders, drove more than [-] cattle and sheep purchased from various ministries, and headed north through nomadic means.

This is fully prepared for a protracted war around Irkutsk.

The herdsmen drove their cattle and sheep all the way to the north, and the densely packed cattle and sheep seemed to be dotted in black and white on the ground, spreading to the north.

At this time, it is next to the advancing route of cattle and sheep.

Two strong men wearing the official military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty and the broad-brimmed steel helmets of the Ming Army rode war horses all the way north with the cattle and sheep.

You can only see it when you get close.

It turned out that these two men were the Qing army generals Fukang'an and Eredengbao.

Oh, it should be called Fukang'an and Guan Dengbao now - Fukang'an is from the Fucha family, and it is really a blessing to change the surname to Fu.Eredengbao was originally from the Guerjia family, but now he has changed his surname to Guan, which has the same surname as Guan Erye. Among the Eight Banners who are mostly fans of the Three Kingdoms, this surname is envied by many Eight Banners.

"Emperor Zhu's calculations were too precise. While grazing and fighting with the Russians, he didn't even send supplies. The [-] troops traveled thousands of miles north from Guihua City to drink horses and seas. Which of the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties would want Drink horses and seas, seal wolves and live in Xu, and don't empty the treasury to support logistics."

Fu Kang'an sat on the horseback and opened his mouth to complain about Emperor Zhu.

"Third Master, what do you think Emperor Zhu is up to? The [-] soldiers have only been trained for less than half a year as recruits. He doesn't mean to send our Manmeng children to die?"

Guan Dengbao said.

Fukang'an shook his head: "It's not enough to die. If he wants us to die, he can do it directly in Guihua City, and he needs to borrow the hands of the Russians? What's more, it's picking soldiers, training soldiers, and We have added so many academy officers and replaced them with rifled guns. The cost is so high, so we can’t die. And even if we die, so what? Most of us are in Guihua City.”

Guan Dengbao nodded: "That's right, Emperor Zhu didn't need to do this thing of borrowing a knife to kill people, but his abacus is really good. Throughout the history, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, drinking horses and Hanhai can only be done by dispatching elite soldiers and strong generals." It's a good thing, Emperor Zhu is good, he just sorted out the remnants of our former dynasty and put the ducks on the shelves, he is really picky, he is indeed a businessman."

The two of you talked about Emperor Zhu one by one.

Anyway, they don't want to ask for progress now.

Now they don't lead soldiers in the army anymore, but work under Dong Gao's hands, and become "management officials", in fact, they are responsible for managing herdsmen, and to put it bluntly, they are responsible for raising cattle and sheep.

But the treatment is not bad.

The first-rank military officer's treatment is still retained.

And after this battle, they will be rewarded for their merits and deeds. As two of them, they should also be able to get a Marquis.

Fukang'an has already thought about it.

After the war was over, I went to Zhongdu to buy land and build a few shops to collect rent.

The north is too dry. Although Fukang'an is from the north, he doesn't like the climate in the north very much. How good is the south of the Yangtze River?

Fukang'an, who shrank his neck, squinted his eyes and endured the sandy wind outside the Great Wall, and he was already thinking about how to lie flat.

Oh, by the way, he likes to go to theaters, so he can invest in a theater garden.

Maybe in the future, a manchurian circle will be formed.

Guan Dengbao doesn't have any other thoughts now. In fact, he followed the army northward because he was ordered by Dong Gao.

Although the commander of the capital of the westbound battalion is Jin Sanxin, the docile king, Jin Sanxin is now enjoying the blessings in the northern capital, and Dong Gao and Chen Dewang are in charge of the capital.

Dong Gao was in charge of the people.

Chief of General Staff Chen Dewang is in charge of the army.

In short, the war has nothing to do with the two of them. Their current task is to raise sheep.

Moreover, most of these sheep will be slaughtered after the first snow falls in winter and frozen for food. The second batch of cattle, sheep and grain will arrive next spring.

The two of them started talking about Le Bao.

"Le Bao left the Western Regions with his troops, and he doesn't know which direction to go." Guan Dengbao sighed and said, "It's good to leave some incense. Although the soul of the Qing Dynasty is gone, there are still some shadows."

Just now.

Yiqi came from the north.

"The two chiefs are both in command of the military, please go north immediately to participate in the military discussion!"

The two looked at each other when they heard the words, what kind of military meeting requires them to participate?
before the sun goes down.

Dots of tents have been spread out on the grassland.

In the big tent in the middle.

A huge map of Irkutsk and nearby terrain hangs over the conference table.

When Fukang'an and Guan Dengbao came in, they found that many military leaders and civil affairs officials at all levels had arrived here.

And after the two sat down, officials summoned from various places came one after another.

As the big tent door closed, Chen Dewang and Dong Gao, who had been discussing in low voices, stood up.

Dong Gao nodded to Chen Dewang first, then looked at the crowd and said: "There is a new situation, the Russian crown prince arrived in Irkutsk in person, and the Russian army general Repnin also came before."

"According to the news sent back by the reconnaissance cavalry, the Tsarist Russian army is now leaving Irkutsk and heading south. It seems that they are not planning to rely on the defense of Irkutsk's fortress, but are looking for a decisive battle!"

After Dong Gao finished speaking.

Chen Dewang stood up and said: "Although Tsarist Russia's actions were beyond our expectations, since they are actively seeking war, we have a reason to avoid it!"

Chen Dewang's face was serious, and his heart burst into laughter.

He really didn't expect it.

The Russians are so arrogant.

How dare you leave Irkutsk to seek a field battle!
Without the fortress group, the possibility of defeating Tsarist Russia's military presence in Siberia before the winter of this year will be greatly improved!
but
What to do after taking Irkutsk.
You have to ask the imperial court first, but for Ming, if you get Irkutsk, where two great rivers meet, you can use it as an outpost to attack Tsarist Russia in the future——Irkutsk The water source is abundant, and it is possible to grow the previous season's wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in summer.

Fukang'an and Guan Dengbao looked at each other.

There is disbelief on the face.

Russians crazy?

They actually sent a crown prince and an army general to the east.

They even took the initiative to attack with only [-] troops?
Are all Russians this stupid?
Why is this feeling so familiar?
Fukang'an suddenly remembered the World War I in Guangzhou that year.

At that time, I was probably full of confidence, thinking that defeating the Ming army was just a matter of time.
It surprised me that.

After so many years, there are still people who dare to underestimate the Ming army—even though the main body of this army is the children of Manmeng.

But the training mode, the command system, and even the equipment.

They are all completely "Da Minghua".

Even if the combat effectiveness does not reach [-]% of that of the Ming army, it is still [-]% to [-]%.

What's up with the Russians?

How dare you take the initiative to attack when the strength of the troops is almost equal?
