The reply to Zhu Zaiming only had a few words in total. Jiaqing quickly finished it and stamped it with his own seal.
After doing this, he had to face a difficult problem.
The Ming Dynasty took over Jinling!
This meant that the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost the important tax land of Jiangnan.
The Ming army was like a knife, cutting hard on the Manqing's waist. If he used any more force at this moment, the Manqing would be cut in half.
In fact, the Ming army did the same.
The 4th Brigade, escorted by the navy's sail warships, passed from Jinling to Anqing, entered Poyang Lake, and marched to Nanchang.
The 3rd Brigade started its attack on Fuzhou from the eastern coast with the First Fleet.
If the water in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River were not shallow and the risk of the ship running aground was extremely high, the Ming army would definitely have been able to send another brigade into Changsha.
When the Ming Dynasty's First Fleet moved south, the Ming army's blockade of the Yangtze River was no longer so strict, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties finally received real battlefield intelligence.
This sight scared Jiaqing so much that he couldn't sleep for several days.
The Ming army almost gained Jiangnan at a very small cost, which is completely inconsistent with the good news reported in the past few days.
Le Bao seized the opportunity and suggested: "Your Majesty, these people lied about military information. They are guilty of deceiving the emperor and should be executed according to law!
Yes, Erle is really the Guarjia family, and many people close to him have connections...
I request you to report that Eldenbao and Delengtai will be dismissed from their posts and investigated! "
Le Bao was a red flag man. When he saw that the yellow flag was out of control, he immediately began to suppress his political opponents.
Delengtai is a Mongolian from the Zhenghuang Banner. Seeing Lebao, he wants to correct the Yellow Banner people. Is this okay?
Spray it back immediately.
"I don't think so. The failure of this battle is not a crime of war.
It's because the Ming army is too strong and the weapons are too vicious!
Our heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty fought bravely to kill the enemy, never flinched? "
Lebao looked disdainful: "Hey, it's the weapons that are to blame again.
Haohe City Eldenbao's 260,000-strong army, most of them died in just a few days.
Even if there were 100,000 pigs, the Ming army wouldn't be able to kill them so quickly, right?
The armies in the south surrendered to the Ming army without even firing a shot. Is this what you call fighting the enemy bravely? "
"you!"
Delengtai really has nothing to say about this matter, after all, the facts are here.
However, he still spoke harshly and said.
"You can't just look at the superficial appearance of the problem. You all know very well the state of our military's armaments.
Generals from all over the country were busy eating their pay, and half of the money issued by the imperial court was intercepted by other people before it left the capital.
The muskets were old guns from decades ago. The bows and arrows broke as soon as they were pulled. Even the swords in the Beijing camp were covered with rust.
Let me ask you, does such an army still have combat effectiveness? "
Not only military expenditures, but also the problems of granaries in various places are also sensational.
Emperor Jiaqing has always wanted to inventory the granaries since he ascended the throne.
When Qianlong was still there, he didn't dare to move. Who knows if Qianlong was involved.
He knew his father better than his son, and with Qianlong's character, Jiaqing felt that the probability was quite high.
Therefore, when Qianlong died, Jiaqing could even laugh out loud in the mourning hall.
Before Qianlong's body had cooled down here, he first took away Qianlong's pistachios and Heshen, and then started to check the granary.
The plot of the later "Tianxia Granary" took place during this period.
However, if nothing else happens, something will happen.
The Ming army fought back.
Even if Jiaqing wants to check now, he can't.
The food in the south needs to be inspected now, also by the Ming army.
Now that the ministers have brought this matter out again, Jiaqing's face is not good.
Le Bao said flatteringly: "I, the man with the red flag, fly the five flags, how can I make as much money as you with the yellow flag?
We just want to make money, but we are not qualified to make money yet! "
The Eight Banners are divided into Manchu Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners.
Among them, Manchu Eight Banners is the most valuable.
The Eight Banners are further divided into the Upper Three Banners and the Lower Five Banners. The Upper Three Banners are the Tianlong people, who walk with their nostrils turned upward.
It's different when the Five Flags are lowered.
As the Manchu power class gradually solidified, their lives became increasingly difficult.
What should I do if I have a hard time?
We can only hug each other to keep warm.
As a result, signs of party strife appeared faintly in the Manchu and Qing court halls, and they became more and more intense.
Fortunately for the emperor, if there is party struggle, balance can be achieved.
However, Jiaqing broke out in cold sweat when he thought about the ending in the late Ming Dynasty.
He was a little irritated and said: "My dear friends, let's ignore this topic for now, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this cannot be solved in a short time.
The question now is, how can the Qing Dynasty destroy the Ming army in Jinling? "
Delengtai took a step forward and said, "Of course it's to rectify the weapons!"
Le Bao immediately retorted: "Can't you think of anything else to say besides rectifying the armed forces? From a humble perspective, we still need to vigorously develop the new army and purchase more weapons from Tsarist Russia..."
Speaking of this, Delengtai was not happy.
Doesn't it make me look incompetent if I have to buy everything?
But he wouldn't say that, and he came up with a brilliant idea.
It can not only enhance the Qing army's combat power, but also gain some benefits from it.
He said: "Your Majesty, on the late emperor's 80th birthday, didn't the East India Company send a lot of technical information and samples?
Wei Chen believes that we should learn from the barbarians to learn their skills in order to make the Ming Dynasty!
Vigorously develop industry to arm the new army. "
Jiaqing thought for a moment and his face darkened.
If we develop industry in China, we guarantee that in ten years these Han people will take advantage of them again.
When Le Bao saw Jiaqing's face, he felt confident. He immediately knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!
The laws of our ancestors are immutable, and the Eight Banners' cavalry and archery are unparalleled. How can we use Han people's firearms and toys?
Delengtai is ambitious and wants to destroy the foundation of our Eight Banners. Please take him down, punish him severely, and behead him in the future! "
An important official of the imperial court would not be beheaded at will, so Le Bao was disgusted with him.
Delentai's lungs were almost bursting with anger, and he pointed at Lebao and cursed.
"Lebao, Lebao, why didn't I notice before that you didn't do anything about human affairs?
Isn't it because the Ming army is invincible because of its sharp firearms?
If the Qing Dynasty also started the industrial revolution, it would be possible to win against the Ming army.
Now the Ming army has not completely digested Jiangnan. If we continue to let it go, who can withstand the Ming army's front in the future?
Do you know what the people in Beijing are saying privately now? It means that the army is invincible! "
"Why is the Ming army invincible? The Eight Banners are obviously invincible!"
"The Ming army is completely invincible!"
"The Eight Banners are invincible!"
"Ming Army!"
"Eight Flags!"
There was a lot of noise and chaos in the court, and people started to take advantage of it.
Delengtai frantically gave hints to his own people, and some officials knew better and knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, if you try to protect the ambition of the Ming army and destroy your own prestige, you must be transparent! Please, Your Majesty, arrest him and put him in jail!"
"What transparency? I think you were bribed by the Ming army. You who went to the Three Banners are all traitors!"
"Your Majesty, look at him..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
Jiaqing took a deep breath and shouted loudly, which shocked the ministers.
I saw some officials rolling on the ground, some hitting pillars, and some getting into fights with others.
Jiaqing felt himself laughing out loud.
Is this partisanship?
Was it the ministers that Chongzhen faced back then who were like shrews and scoundrels?
Tired, tired.
Jiaqing flicked his sleeves, stood up and left the dragon chair.
"Let's all go to court. I'm exhausted. We'll discuss this matter tomorrow."
