Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 61
Chapter 61, Whampoa Fengshui is good

"Humble position is incompetent, humble position is incompetent."

at this time.

The burly Saiguan Public Relations Shouzhong burst into tears.

"The army against the Ming Dynasty came from across the sea, I want to fight to the death, but what can I do?"

In the Mingtang of the Guangzhou government, Guangdong's military and political leaders gathered.

In addition to Fukang'an, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guo Shixun, governor of Guangdong.

There are also Sun Qijiao, the admiral of the Guangdong Green Camp, Wang Zhensi, the commander of the Guangdong Navy, and others.

"My lord, although Guan Shoubei has the duty of defense, Lantau Island is originally a hiding place for pirates, so he can't guard it for a long time. Guan Shoubei leads the army to fight, and he is outnumbered. If he continues to force the battle, the whole army will be wiped out, which is meaningless. What's more, he also brought back information about Sui Ming, which I think will give Guan Shoubei a chance to make a contribution."

Seeing that Fukang'an and Guo Shixun looked unhappy, Wang Zhensi, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Navy, hurried out and said.

Fukang'an looked at Guan Shouzhong after hearing the words: "Guan Shouzhong, you said you fought against Niming?"

"Returning to my lord, it was a battle. Ni Ming's ships were all large Western ships, with powerful guns. I originally had ten warships under my command, but as soon as the fire broke out, five of them were destroyed by the Ni Ming navy. Return to Lantau Island to be loyal, but Sun Ming blocked the waterway."

Guan Shouzhong knelt on the ground, drooping his head.

I have already figured it out in my heart.

There were indeed ten ships under his command, but in fact there were only seven—and three were sold to Guanglixing.

Of the seven ships brought back this time, two had to be sold to sign up.

So now the Ming Army Navy, which has not fired a single shot, has the record of "sinking five enemy ships".

Anyway, it is impossible for Fukang'an to go to the Ming army to reconcile.

Fukang'an rubbed his forehead and looked at Wang Zhensi, the chief soldier of the Guangdong Navy: "Yan Zun, is it possible to take back Lantau Island?"

Wang Zhensi hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Du Xian, the Lantau Island was originally occupied by the pirates and the Red Flag Gang. The navy and the pirates have fought against each other for more than ten years, and they have won each other. Now they have to face the big ship against the Ming. Navy ships have few small cannons, if we want to confront them on the ocean, we may have no chance of winning."

"The ocean is wide enough for large ships to navigate, and the river's waterways are narrow, which is good for small boats to shuttle. It is not the best strategy for the navy to go out to Lantau Island to confront the enemy head-on. It is better to retreat to the Pearl River estuary to prevent the Niming navy from moving along the river."

Fukang'an stroked his beard and said: "The key to this battle is the confrontation between the infantry. Sui Ming is coming to Guangdong, and they must land."

Although the Guangdong navy is considered to have a strong force among the Qing army's navy.

But on the whole, the Qing army did not pay much attention to the navy.

Therefore, Fukang'an did not expect the Guangdong Navy to play a big role.

However, the news in the next few days made Fu Ankang's complexion more and more ugly.

On the one hand, the Ming army built large-scale construction projects on Lantau Island and built camps, posing a posture of attacking Guangdong based on Lantau Island.

On the other side, the Mi Ming army dispatched sloops to sweep back and forth along both sides of the Pearl River, blasting all the docks and warships stationed by the Guangdong Navy on both sides of the Pearl River to scum.

The sailors of the Guangdong Navy have now abandoned their ships and landed, and the sailors have become infantry.

Except that the navy was wiped out by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

Several forts defending Guangzhou were also attacked by the Ming army.

The Shajiao and Dajiao forts are the two most important forts in Guangzhou's defense system.

More than 300 cannons can block the surface of the Pearl River, which was originally a key node in the defense of Guangzhou that Fukang'an had placed high hopes on.

结果
The Ming army dispatched large-caliber howitzers.

The artillery bombardment of the two forts was fired outside the firepower of the two forts. Without considering the attack by the bombs, the anti-gun facilities of the two forts were useless. The artillery fire of the bombs quickly caused the gunpowder of the two forts to explode.

More than 300 cannons were blasted into the sky in this way.

Thus.

The warships of the Ming army swaggered up the Pearl River and arrived at the city of Guangzhou.

When the warships of the Ming army flying the flag of the sun and the moon were traveling upstream towards Guangzhou along the Pearl River.

On both sides of the Pearl River, many ordinary people stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

"Mother Throwing Thunder, Daming is really back?"

"That's the Sun and Moon Uniform Flag, right?"

"I heard that Daming already has a province in Nanyang, and this time he will raise [-] troops to seek revenge from the Manchus."

"Can you beat it?"

"Who knows."

"My third nephew works in the navy, and I heard that all the ships of the navy have been bombed and sunk."

The people on both sides of the Pearl River looked at the Ming army warships on the river with complicated eyes.

And on the river.

Zhu Daohua was also looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait with a telescope.

Five years ago, he fled along this river in embarrassment, and five years later, he returned here with tens of thousands of troops.

"Your Majesty, it seems that your rule after obtaining Guangdong will not be too difficult."

Napoleon was also watching with a telescope.

Lao Guang loves to watch the excitement, and this character is probably inherited from his ancestors.

During the Opium War in later generations, there are records that many local people liked to go to the battlefield to watch the excitement.
And in Napoleon's sight.

He didn't see any hatred in the eyes of these Cantonese.

This shows that these Cantonese do not have any sense of belonging to the Qing Empire.

"Bonaparte, the people here don't have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty. They are the same as me. They are all people who have lost their own country."

Zhu Daohua said.

"Did you know that when the Qing Dynasty occupied Guangdong, there was a massacre in Guangdong, and more than 100 million Cantonese died under the butcher's knife."

"If the Qing Dynasty really killed all the Cantonese, it might be fine, but Guangdong has a large population. They can't kill all the Han people like they did in Liaodong, so...the Qing Dynasty can't completely eliminate the impact of this place on them. hatred."

"More than 100 million."

Napoleon smacked his lips.

This population is larger than the total population of the Netherlands.
It's terrifying.

"Do you think Fukang'an can gamble?"

Zhu Daohua's tone was somewhat uncertain.

"Your Majesty, whether he bets or not, we all have a solution. I think he will take a gamble as long as he sees the strength of your army."

Napoleon just finished speaking.

The sound of the watchmen on the mast came.

"Your Majesty, Whampoa is here."

Zhu Daohua took a deep breath upon hearing this.

"Prepare the naval guns for cover, let Zhao Si send a brigade and a battalion to fight the vanguard, land in Huangpu to establish a position, and the follow-up troops will disembark."

Zhu Daohua immediately confessed.

One brigade and one battalion are the oldest and most elite troops in the Ming army.

Although it seems that the Qing army was not prepared enough for the Ming army to go directly upstream and approach Guangzhou.

But also rule out any surprises.

Chen Dewang, commander of the first brigade and first battalion of the army, is also one of the three hundred old brothers.

Following the landing of several troop carriers, Chen Dewang took a deep breath and was the first to step on the small boat used for landing.

Then the veterans of the Ming army from the first battalion disembarked silently.

soon.

Chen Dewang personally led a company of soldiers and rowed towards the south bank of the Pearl River.

wow.

The boat rushed to the soft beach by the river.

Chen Dewang took the lead alone.

Turning over and jumping off the waist-deep river, he rushed towards the land in front of him with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After stepping on land, he immediately rushed towards a small hill on the shore, which is a commanding height on the shore.

boom! boom! boom!
The heart is beating violently.

It's been five years!
finally come back!
Chen Dewang didn't have time to form a team, and the first time he rushed to the hill, he took out his binoculars and looked around.

"No enemy troops found!"

he said aloud immediately.

The flag bearers around him immediately waved the colorful flags in their hands, and passed the signal to the big ship staying in the center of the Pearl River.

"Login!"

Zhu Daohua immediately issued the landing order.

"It seems that we caught Fukang'an by surprise. He must have never expected that the landing place of my army is Huangpu!"

Zhu Daohua laughed.

Napoleon asked: "Why does it have to be Huangpu? Maybe we can land closer to the city of Guangzhou."

"Because... Huangpu has good Fengshui."

Zhu Daohua patted Napoleon on the shoulder and said.

Cantonese?

Very particular about Feng Shui.
