Entering November.
It rained heavily around Jinling.
The fire steamed surface water up into the sky, and the ash particles floating into the sky became condensation nuclei. When the temperature dropped, raindrops formed.
The Ministry of Industry has calculated that the entire month of November is expected to be the rainy season.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the General's Mansion made a decisive decision and issued the order for a general attack.
What will heavy rain bring?
The firearms of the Qing army will be affected by rain, the gunpowder will be affected by moisture, and the muskets and artillery will be wet and unable to be used.
But the Ming army was different. Not only did the rain not affect the firing of the firearm, it actually helped the barrel cool down.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiming seized the opportunity and began a general attack on Jinling.
The 1st and 2nd Brigades laid siege to Jinling.
The 4th Brigade and the Heavy Artillery Brigade cooperated with 12 steam armored vehicles and passed through the west side of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, with the military peak pointing directly at Chaoyang Gate on the east side.
On the east side of Jinling is the inner city, which is also full of cities.
Most of the people living here are Banner people.
Hong Chengwan asked the people to go up the city wall, but Zhu Zaiming did not dare to attack at will and accidentally hurt the people.
But the whole city is different. Apart from servants and married women, where are the Han people?
Therefore, the main attack direction of the Ming army was Chaoyang Gate on the east side.
When the Ming army arrived at their respective positions and began to dig trenches and build barracks, the Manchus in the city became anxious.
They found Hong Chengwan and asked him to send troops as soon as possible, and first wipe out the 4th Ming Army Brigade outside Chaoyang Gate.
Hong Chengwan wanted to cry but had no tears.
The only reason to blame is that the Qing army has "made a lot of gains" recently.
The scouts who went out to explore the Chinese army were more fierce than the others in the battle reports.
Today the formation will kill a squad of the Ming Army.
Tomorrow the formation will kill a company of the Ming army.
The day after tomorrow, a dozen scouts were able to attack a Ming army brigade and kill three hundred enemies.
The strange thing is that these outstanding scouts did not bring back even a single body.
They were all confiscated empty cans, burned coal, toilet paper stained with feces, and finished tea bags...
Hong Chengwan also got excited and sent someone to take the "good news" to the north and send it to the Forbidden City.
In order to praise these "heroic" troops, Hong Chengman also held a banquet and distributed silver rewards.
These days, banquets are held every day, and thousands of taels of silver are made.
This is good, now the entire Manchu people in Jinling know that the Qing army is "unparalleled in bravery" and they disdain the Ming army.
However, there are also some people who analyze calmly, or there are people above who know the real situation.
The Qing army achieved numerous victories, but the Ming army was getting closer and closer.
The attack started 30 miles from Wuda, and the Ming army company was defeated.
The Qing army won all the way and had already won the city of Jinling.
That was when Qin Shihuang touched the wires and became numb.
At this time, Hong Chengwan thought of the "good news" sent to the Forbidden City and broke into a cold sweat.
If he could not defeat the Ming army, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
When Jiaqing finds out, he will definitely activate the nine tribes' elimination skills and kill all his family members in Peiping.
And the Forbidden City at this moment.
The imperial dining room is full of cheerful atmosphere.
During the Jiaqing banquet, all the ministers were invited and a unique banquet was held in the imperial dining room.
Originally, ministers like them were not qualified to enter the imperial dining room.
But Jiaqing made an exception.
It was really a "great victory" for the Qing army on the front line, and the situation was completely reversed.
The trophies sent by Hong Chengwan also dazzled Jiaqing.
Army pots, various cans, tea bags, candy bars, chocolate...
These edible things were captured by the heroic Qing army.
In fact, it was Hong Chengwan who felt that sending the paper that the Ming army had wiped their butts to Jiaqing was not an operation that anyone could think of.
Simply buy some Ming army military supplies from ordinary people at high prices.
Not selling?
You see, my sword is not very sharp.
Hong Chengwan could obviously grab it, but considering that there might be a civil unrest, he might as well spend some money.
Spend some money, not much.
So, when these things were delivered to the Forbidden City.
The imperial chef was so confused that he simply stewed it in a pot.
Canned luncheon meat is sliced into slices and put into the pot together with meat and vegetable meatballs, small mushrooms, etc.
Pour in hot oil and spices, then top with instant noodles and serve.
The eunuchs each ate with chopsticks, and after testing the poison in front of everyone, they brought the military pot to the table and placed it on the alcohol lamp.
The army pot accidentally appeared on this timeline.
"My dear friends, on the occasion of this great victory, we will also enjoy the food of the Ming army..."
Jiaqing was the first to use serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of lunch meat from the pot of boiling soup.
Dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth.
For those who are eating luncheon meat for the first time, this mixture of starch, minced meat, and spices has a strange and delicious taste.
Everyone saw the emperor moving his chopsticks and began to take food from the pot.
Liu Yong liked the braised lion head very much and was very interested in the meatballs in the pot. He tried several times, but he still couldn't pick up the vegetarian meatballs.
When Emperor Jiaqing saw this, he personally made some meatballs for him, which moved Liu Yong to pieces.
At the stall where everyone is happily eating army hotpot.
The "good news" from Jinling was sent to the Forbidden City.
"Hahaha, the 1st Brigade of the Ming Army is so ridiculous, isn't it that we, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, are coming in and out?"
Emperor Jiaqing read out the "good news" and shared it with the ministers.
It should be said that the 1st Brigade of the Ming Army was the earliest unit established, fighting from Australia to Nanyang and then to Jinling.
In the Ming army, his status was very high.
And it was such a battle-hardened division that was killed by a dozen scouts, seven in and seven out, resulting in 300 casualties.
"Congratulations to the Qing Dynasty and congratulations to the Emperor!"
The ministers held their hands in congratulations with smiles on their faces.
However, a minister sighed and Jiaqing saw it.
Jiaqing asked with an unhappy expression.
"Why do you sigh, my beloved?"
The minister put down his chopsticks and said: "Your Majesty, Eldenbao's 260,000 Qing troops suffered heavy casualties. They didn't even capture a single regiment of 1,500 Ming troops on the north bank.
But in the south, good news is coming frequently.
Wei Chen is terrified..."
These words made the entire imperial dining room feel cold.
Did Eldenbao report to the Forbidden City?
Reported, and there is no blockade by the Ming army and navy, that is one letter a day, sometimes several letters a day.
However, it is basically a funeral.
Yesterday's attack was unfavorable. Today we were bombarded by the Ming navy, and the day after tomorrow we were counterattacked by the famous Ming general Ding Qiao.
Before and after, the Qing army's losses were like slaughtering pigs, and the number of soldiers dropped sharply.
This last letter was sent yesterday.
It is said that there are insufficient troops on the north bank, and there are countless escapees in the green camp at night, so it is no longer possible to form a siege on the Haohe River.
Eldenbao withdrew to Rucheng and reminded Peiping to prevent this group of Ming troops from going north and taking the capital directly.
"Absurd, absolutely ridiculous! If these two thousand people can break into the capital, I will eat the pot on the spot!" As soon as Emperor Jiaqing mentioned Eldenbao, he became angry instantly.
"They say Eldenbao is a famous general, but I look like a bear!
The Qing army suffered huge losses.
I think there is too much free money in various places, and we are taking this opportunity to cover up the shortfall! "
The more Jiaqing thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right.
"Check it! Check it hard! I want to see how much free money these people eat!"
Genocide! Search your home!
Emperor Jiaqing roared fiercely in his heart.
