I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 183 Ruoqing: We are gathered here today to celebrate an outstanding woman...

Among the ruins of broken walls and dust, there are fierce faces hidden in the small tunnels, staring eagerly at the situation outside the trenches, ready to shoot at any time.

After experiencing the indiscriminate bombardment just now, this "Zeng Family Soldier" did not collapse. Instead, it still had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and was ready to give some color to the Ming army who wanted to rush forward at any time.

They had been at the forefront of the battle to quell the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They had long been accustomed to facing such bombardments: it was a little extra violent this time, but that didn't matter.

Behind them is the moat. From the perspective of ancient warfare, their team is like abandoned children, stationed directly outside the city.

But analyzed from another perspective, this is also Zeng Guofan's preparation for the subsequent defensive counterattack and counterattack.

Of course, Zeng Guofan himself was in the safe Xiangyang City, using a flagman to remotely control the 5000 people outside.

Although Zeng Guofan adopted such a radical tactic and seemed to have everything under control, he was extremely uneasy in his heart.

After all, before, they faced a group of guys who couldn't even fire a gun. Later, they gradually got better and became a little more capable of fighting. Therefore, Zeng Guofan used offensive tactics instead of defensive tactics before this. .

Now, the first battle.

Facing the legendary Ming Dynasty...

To be honest, Zeng Guofan felt a little unsure, and it could even be said that he was a little unsure to the extreme.

After all, in his impression, the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for almost 200 years, so why did it suddenly appear here...

But that's okay, after all, he led his own army and also appeared in the Qianlong Dynasty.

Zeng Guofan took a deep breath and said to the flag bearer on the side: "Send the flag and get ready."

When the flag bearer standing nearby saw this, he immediately saluted and immediately began to raise the flag according to Zeng Guofan's instructions.

As the command flag waved, the battlefield in front of them soon began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

With an order, get ready to go.

And just when the Zeng family soldiers were full of fighting spirit and preparing for a big fight, some neat noises suddenly came from the distance.

The sound was a little hard to hear at first, but the accents from all over the world came together, and eventually it became clear like a river flowing into the sea.

"go ahead!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China! The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are still there, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty has an order. The first person to climb the mountain will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold, be granted the title of Marquis, and be rewarded with hundreds of hectares of farmland in the south of the Yangtze River. Those who died in war will be protected by their descendants for three generations, and receive countless pensions!"

"..."

There were bursts of sound, and the Ming Dynasty's military flag commanded, and the huge crowds rushed toward Xiangyang City with great force, and the armor opened the way.

Today's thermal weapons are far inferior to the large caliber and high destructive power of future generations. Therefore, these iron shields produced by the Tangshan No. [-] Steelmaking Plant in the Jiajing Dynasty Ziwei Realm can effectively prevent some bullets.

Of course, its defense power is not 100%, but it is enough to reduce the casualty rate of Ming soldiers several times.

"Go up first, you must go up first! After you go up, cut off the general's flag. In this way, my son can inherit the title, and I can honor my ancestors!"

A junior officer named Dong Guoan in the Jingtai Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty stared at the flag that was just a small dot in his sight, silently thinking about this idea in his heart.

No matter which dynasty or generation it is from, military achievements are all focused on killing generals, capturing flags, ascending first, and breaking formations.

If you can capture the flag first, your future will be limitless. Xue Rengui, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, made his fortune when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo. He wore a conspicuous white robe and rushed to the front to win the first victory. , and then climbed up the ranks step by step, eventually becoming a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the experience and teachings and successful cases of countless ancestors, there are always some people who want to risk their lives to fight for their future, join this winner-take-all first-to-market camp, and win their own first-to-market military achievements!

"Kill!"

Dong Guoan shouted, his voice was so excited that he almost made his voice hoarse. The soldiers around him were inspired and their morale was greatly shaken. They all held the spears in their hands and charged forward to join the battle.

Their equipment is naturally muskets with bayonets. Mounting bayonets on muskets can be said to be a great invention, which allows the musketeers to also have a certain degree of attack power when charging, making it possible for them to maintain a stalemate between far and near, often in difficult battles. Can achieve unexpected results.

Just as Tie Jia took the lead and charged towards the fortresses ahead, he suddenly discovered that something was not right.

The Qing soldiers in those fortresses seemed a little unusual. They didn't show any fear of the enemy. Instead... they looked eager to try. The muskets they held in their hands seemed to be no less than their own!
"Ready, shoot!"

Following a round of volleys, in an instant, countless bullet holes appeared on the iron shield.

Blood gushes out, and in an instant, the entire Xiandeng camp falls into some unspeakable situation.

Dong Guoan only felt a little heavy on his shoulders, as if he had been shot, but it might be due to rising hormones, "Counterattack, counterattack quickly! Break through this line of defense, Xiangyang City is right in front of you!"

"..."

In the distance, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qiyu each held a telescope and looked at the situation on the front line, which was not optimistic.

Unlike in the past, where one could reach the bottom of the city wall with just one charge, the trenches and fortresses arranged by Zeng Guofan were a bit difficult to attack. Although the first campers charged with the determination to die, they could only barely break into the first trench and engage in hand-to-hand combat with Zeng's soldiers. , destroying most of the first-level fortress.

But through the telescope, we can see that Zeng Guofan deployed three trenches in front of the city wall. The Ming army suffered heavy losses if they tried to break through these three trenches!
"Father, withdraw your troops. If we continue to fight like this, we will at most penetrate the second line of defense, but our vanguard will also be completely lost. If we are not careful, we will lose everything!"

Zhu Qiyu on the side had also been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew what the situation was like. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said to Zhu Zhanji on the side: "If not, then increase the intensity, attack with the whole army, and drill through their three bodies in one go." Lay a layer of defense and march directly to the city!"

Either call for gold and retreat, or play hard.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and spoke without hesitation: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops and rewards are given to all the generals of the Pioneer Battalion. The pensions must be in place... Who was the first person to rush into the defense line? Find out, for future generations." It can provide shelter for thousands of households, and it will ensure that their descendants will be rich and noble for generations to come, and live happily with the country."

As a man who wears shoes, Zhu Zhanji naturally cannot choose a stud. His family has a big business. Who would be willing to play a stud except Zhu Qizhen?

Several military officers and generals around him immediately took note of it and were ready to find news about the person who was charging ahead.

As for the saying that you will retire with your country... Just listen to it. When the founding of the country, every hero was retired with his country. How many of them can survive to this day?
However, unlike other dynasties, as long as you escape a few major events, you will most likely be able to retire with the country. Most of the worms in the late Ming Dynasty were from noble families.

Although it may cause endless harm in the future, if there is no such incentive now, who would be willing to charge forward?
Although there is no shortage of people who love Daming.

But if all these soldiers who love the Ming Dynasty die, then who will be relied on to defend the Ming Dynasty?And don't the soldiers who love the Ming Dynasty deserve no reward?

So no matter what, this situation still needs to continue.

Soon, with Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, Xian Deng camp was slowly withdrawing its troops.In Xiangyang City, Zeng Guofan, who was paying close attention to the situation here, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little palpitated.

To be honest, it almost scared him to death.

Those Taiping Heavenly Kingdom guys we fought before were so ferocious. They were able to destroy half of the fortress in the first charge.

In the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, only some brainwashed lunatics can rush in, and then be dealt with by the army, which does not have much effect at all.

Zeng Guofan was also a soldier, so he naturally knew that this was the Ming army's first tentative charge.

"call."

Zeng Guofan's head hurt a little, and he felt that his opponent was very different this time.

He just stretched out his hand, intending to act according to the original plan, carry out a counterattack, and catch the Ming thief by surprise.

But seeing the heavy losses on the first line of defense, the originally fearless Zeng soldiers were now timid. Zeng Guofan slowly lowered his hand and shook his head.

In the past, people who worked as miscellaneous fish were naturally brave and not afraid of death.

Now if we hit hard targets, of course everyone will shrink back.

So, the previous tactics no longer work.

Zeng Guofan was quite flexible and changeable. Although he had been a bit stupid in studying since he was a child and could not even stand a thief. However, as he got older and became more and more demonic, Zeng Guofan immediately ordered: "Reinforce the city defense and dig more trenches! Send me from France." The purchased cannons are all pulled up and ready for bombardment! At any cost, we must stop the Ming thieves under Xiangyang City for at least ten months!"

After saying that, Zeng Guofan paused again and continued:
"At the same time, report to the court, a great victory in Xiangyang! Our army defeated the invading enemy, and the Ming thieves suffered heavy losses. Our army beheaded more than [-] people, killed two Ming army soldiers, and took countless prisoners! A great victory, but our army also suffered heavy casualties. , the prefect of Xiangyang unfortunately died for his country, and asked for the emperor’s commendation and reinforcements..."

Just blow it to death and that's it.

As for the prefect of Xiangyang?

Whoever made him object, now that he is dead, no one can expose the lie about his merits.

As for the actual number of battle casualties...

This is not enough to explain to outsiders.

……

Beijing, Forbidden City.

A grand banquet was being held, and the concubines came very neatly. There were four people sitting on the main seats, including Lafayette Huanhuan who was sitting on the highest roof, Qianlong who was sitting next to Lafayette Huanhuan, and Qianlong who was sitting next to Lafayette Huanhuan. Xianfeng and Ruoqing are slightly lower.

The standard of this banquet was very high, but before Huanhuan Lafayette and Qianlong could speak, Ruoqing was already chirping:

"Today we are gathered here to celebrate an outstanding woman who created a different scene through her own efforts and became the queen of the Qing Dynasty! Of course, this outstanding woman is me, Ruoqing... "

Ruoqing is wearing a red phoenix robe and Xiapei. She doesn't look like a mother, but she has the feeling of a village girl.

Ruoqing raised the wine glass with a roar. There was no wine in the glass, but it was filled with juice. At the scene, several other concubines looked surprised and embarrassed, wondering what the madness of their queen was.

However, these concubines are already used to Queen Ruoqing's madness. The most shocking thing is not them, but the only harem concubine from the Xianfeng Dynasty.

Yehenara Xingzhen.

Xingzhen was shocked.

After all, the emperor and the queen mother were both present. This empress of the Qing Dynasty who did not exist in Xingzhen's memory was actually able to say such ridiculous words. .

Can you live like this?
And she can still live to become a queen?
It can only be said that Emperor Qianlong was truly compassionate, and it can be said that he shocked Cixi throughout the year.

Qianlong and Huanhuan Lafayette on the side had unkind expressions, but they didn't say anything. Xianfeng was a little confused and didn't know why Qianlong was so tolerant.

If it were him, he would have ordered this crazy concubine to be thrown into the cold palace and be given a foot of fame.

And after doing this, no one will feel cold. After all... none of the concubines present could understand what Ruo Qing was saying.

Even the eunuchs and maids could not understand, and they only felt that the new queen was a lunatic.

wrong.

I used to be a lunatic.

But now the epilepsy is more serious.

But no matter what, Ruo Qing's role was too great now, and Qianlong could only let her go crazy. After Ruo Qing's self-conscious madness ended, Qianlong quietly came over and said to Ruo Qing: "Qing Qing Ah, can you communicate the second goal now? I just inquired about it. There were several emperors in the Ming Dynasty, but now there are only me and Xianfeng, and the front line has always been at a disadvantage."

He was completely obedient to Ruoqing, just because of this.

When Ruoqing saw this situation, she couldn't help but sigh deeply, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, it will take next month to shake people off... But if you don't mind, you can communicate with Emperor Taizong again in three days."

The last chat between Qianlong and Huang Taiji was not very friendly.

Therefore, after hearing Ruo Qing's words, Qianlong's expression changed slightly. He immediately calmed down and pretended to be fine. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's continue communicating with Emperor Taizong."

Qianlong thought about it.

We’ll talk about Emperor Taizong’s side later, and solve the trouble on his side first.

After solving the trouble here, he would send troops to help Emperor Taizong fight the war.

Plan pass!
Loans to save the country.

After all, he said this to Xianfeng before, so there should be no problem in re-enacting it.

Hearing this, Ruoqing rolled her eyes and wondered what she was thinking. But at this moment, a eunuch suddenly ran in with a happy face and screamed from a distance:

"Your Majesty, I'm so happy! I'm so happy! A great victory on the front line, a great victory!"
