Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 58 Isn't it a bit too cautious? 【For collection and follow-up】

Chapter 58. Is it a little too cautious?

"It ran away?"

Zhu Daohua's ship.

Boss Zhu said with some surprise.

At the beginning, he saw several ships of the Qing army appearing around the side and rear of Lantau Island.

It is a two-masted bird ship.

It belongs to the old antiques of Guangdong Luying-in fact, it was not impossible to build large ships in the Qing Dynasty.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, in order to fight against the Zheng family in Taiwan.

Kangxi ordered people to build a big bird boat called "Fengzhou".

The length is more than 60 meters, and the height of the ship exceeds seven meters.

Even compared with the large Dutch warships on the East Asian ocean at this time, it is "broader".

The huge hull is also equipped with 24 heavy artillery pieces on the double deck.

Kangxi 20 years.

The number of such big bird ships owned by the Qing army reached more than 60.

It seemed to be one of the top sea powers in the world at that time.

However, with the corruption of the bureaucratic system in the Qing Dynasty.

The technology of building Fengzhou is gradually lost.

During the Qianlong period, the unspoken rules of shipbuilding in the Qing Dynasty were no less than that of the later Opium Wars.

The shipyard reported ten warships to be repaired, but actually repaired seven or eight ships, which was considered a conscientious operation.

Other "maintenance fees" are basically eaten away layer by layer.In Qianlong's later years, some broken ships had already been scrapped and could only be placed in the harbor to bask in the sun.

Therefore, to be honest, the Guangdong Luying Navy still has warships that can sail out of port.

It is already regarded as the conscience army in the Qing army.

not to mention.
This army actually fired.

Originally, the Ming army was ready to fight.

Although the warship of the Guangdong Navy on the opposite side is a joke in the eyes of the Ming Army Navy.

But when the other party came around relying on the reefs on the narrow Pearl River Estuary as cover.

The officers and men of the Ming Army Navy couldn't help but stand in awe - this is a desperate attack.

remarkably brave!

However, a shocking scene soon appeared.

Relying on the protection of the reef.

After those little bird boats fired several cannons in a hurry, they raised their sails and fled along the shallow water area of ​​the Pearl River Port towards Guangzhou!

"This"

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Navy looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Could it be to lure the enemy into deep?"

Someone said in disbelief.

You said you ran away and ran away.

What does it mean to rush out and fire a few shots from a distance?
provocative?

Demonstration?

The current Ming army is still in the stage of "its prosperity is also thriving".

The army at the entrepreneurial stage has not yet learned the styles of "firing cannons", "drinking soldiers' blood", "killing one hundred thousand enemies and turning into the wind", etc.

Generally speaking, the army in the entrepreneurial stage is very strong.

The Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty.

The Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty were all like this.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was able to go deep into Mobei, and it was like driving ducks to crush the Northern Yuan court to flee the grasslands. The Battle of Yuerhai was a complete victory. Ting is even more brilliant.

And at the end of tomorrow.
A few Baijia from the Eight Banners can drive hundreds of Qiu Ba from the Ming army to flee everywhere.

The same is true for the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners before entering the customs are really powerful soldiers in the world.

The kind of fierce man who can wear two layers of armor and slash.

And now.

The descendants of this group of fierce men can basically be regarded as elites if they can draw their bows.

Therefore, it is easy to understand that the officers and soldiers of the Ming army did not understand the operations of these green camp soldiers.

In fact, relatively speaking.

The green battalion soldiers under Guan Shouzhong are really "shangshangyong" in the Guangdong green battalion.

At least they ran away after expending all the gunpowder on board.

Several shots were fired.

It is worthy of the salary given by the Qing court.

"Fleeing from the enemy is considered courageous."

Zhu Daohua looked at the Guangdong Green Camp soldiers who had fled with a telescope and complained.

"Bonaparte, I think our plan is still too conservative. With such soldiers, we can rush directly to the city of Guangzhou. It won't be a problem to break the city in one battle, right?"

Zhu Daohua took off the telescope and said.

Napoleon shook his head after hearing this: "No, no, my lord, you can't have such risky thoughts. For you, this is a battle that will destroy the country. Even if you have no military achievements, don't take risks lightly!"

"You must not have the idea of ​​underestimating your opponent, this is very likely to be the beginning of failure."

"I know, I know, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

But in my heart I feel a little disapproving.

Just this kind of tofu-like army.

Are you sure you are worthy of becoming the opponent of your Ming army?
"Your Majesty, your enemy is the most populous country in the world, and it is also one of the countries with the largest territory. Your enemy can afford to lose, but you cannot afford to lose!"

said Napoleon.

"So, I still think that you should be cautious, be careful, and don't take that kind of gambling risk. What's more, if you want to rule Guangdong, you'd better wipe out all your potential opponents in this war. OK!"

Catch them all?

Zhu Daohua thought about it.

Who would be my opponents in Guangdong?
The common people in Guangdong will certainly not have much opposition to themselves.

They are not the vested interests of the Qing Empire.

In history, even when the British army landed, most of the veterans came to watch the excitement.

Seeing the defeat of the Qing army, many people even applauded loudly.

Until the British army burned, killed and looted in the suburbs of Guangzhou.

The local veteran Guangcai rose up in anger, picked up his slippers and started working.

More than 20 British soldiers were killed.

It was one-third of the direct deaths of the British army in this war
The identified opponents must be the banner people in the whole city of Guangzhou.

These people and the Ming army must be sworn enemies.

potential opponents.

It is the local landlord in Guangdong.

These wealthy men were to some extent collaborators of the Qing Empire.

They can seize their own interests in the system of the Qing Empire.

Naturally, it will naturally become the defender of this empire.

but
This cooperation is not intimate.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty were on guard against them.

The Han people at the bottom do not like the Qing Dynasty, and the threats they can pose are also very limited.

Peasant uprisings in history would have been difficult to achieve without the participation of the landlord class—that is, intellectuals.

Many of the most influential people in history are unskilled talents.
This kind of high IQ and knowledgeable people are dangerous people.

The imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty also included these people with high IQs, consumed their intelligence with stereotyped essays, and got into the pile of books in the Four Books and Five Classics for a lifetime, so that these high IQ people would think less about dangerous things by sharing the flesh and blood of the empire .

This method has a proper term: cage wise man.

This is stereotyped.

This is a prison.

So Zhu Daohua knew.

This group of people can't really be wiped out.

You can only pull one faction and fight another faction.

"I don't think we need to be so cautious now, Bonaparte. You don't know this country, but I know it very well!"

Zhu Daohua was sure, at least until he defeated the troops in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.

The information obtained by Qianlong in Beijing must be inaccurate and incomplete.

Otherwise, he would not think that transferring tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers from Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan would be able to defend Guangdong.

"Why are you so sure? Your Majesty, I think the Qing Dynasty is quite powerful."

Napoleon said with some doubts.

"If Emperor Qianlong had no problem with his IQ, he would quickly realize the threat posed by your army. He would quickly contact the western countries and train a new army. As long as he has thousands of loyal noble young officers, he will If they are trained as qualified officers, they will be able to support a new-style army with a strength of more than [-]."

said Napoleon.

Could it be that simple?

Zhu Daohua shook his head.

sound.

What the Qing Dynasty needed to do was that simple, their tax system was still functioning, in other words the economic foundation was still there.

So in Napoleon's view.

It should be easy for the Qing Dynasty to obtain a new army.

However.
Zhu Daohua, who is familiar with history, expressed doubts about this.

But he doesn't know whether the current Qianlong Dynasty is similar to 50 years later.

Therefore he did not refute Napoleon's point of view.

Instead, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, Bonaparte. To be honest, I also know that I can't take risks, but who made me naturally feel that the Qing Dynasty is actually quite fragile."

Zhu Daohua shrugged.
