The time has entered April.
The weather is starting to get warmer, but it's still freezing inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Peking.
My heart is cold.
The Ming Dynasty lies across the Yangtze River in the south, the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan claims Zhang Zhengmo as emperor, and warlords from all over the southwest protect each other.
There was a Sauron rebellion in the east of Liaodong and a Junggar rebellion in the northwest.
Now Eldenbao has publicly descended into the Ming Dynasty.
The only area under actual control of the Qing Dynasty was the Beijing-Zhili area.
Destruction is at hand.
There was a lot of noise in the court at the moment.
The Jiaqing Party and the Daoguang Party were playing a national dispute, arguing over which emperor should be listened to.
The Upper Three Flags Party and the Lower Five Flags Party are still blaming each other.
Han Baqi is still the transparent person.
The Mengba Banner wanted to escape from the control of the Qing Dynasty and return to the grassland.
And the Manchu Eight Banners are busy transferring their property and descendants southward.
Recently, many people have been arrested, and many homes have been ransacked, whether at the Guangan Department or the West Factory.
Jiaqing's internal treasure collection has reached 1.36 billion taels, and Daoguang's internal funds, although not much, are still 30 million taels.
But the two were not happy.
The Qing Dynasty is going to die!
Jiaqing couldn't sit still anymore. He had to do something to change the situation.
"Let's retreat first."
The court was full of people, and the ministers were so loyal that neither emperor dared to use them.
Jiaqing returned to the Yangxin Hall, pinched his fat belly, and opened a bottle of delicious Pepsi to quench his thirst.
If you are not sure about external affairs, ask how good it is; if you are not sure about internal affairs, ask how good it is; when you are not sure about something, ask how good it is.
Just ask, that’s right!
"Brother, how can we solve the current situation in the Qing Dynasty?"
Duoshan was waiting for this sentence. He recalled the telegram from Jinling in his mind and said.
“We, the Qing Dynasty, were surrounded by various forces and at the center of the storm. Peiping, the place where orthodox claims were made, became a hot potato.
If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.
The only way is to break out of the encirclement and find a treasure to accumulate strength to wait for the changes. "
Jiaqing thought about it carefully and found that the situation was indeed like this.
Those who are kind and true are great talents and are the pillars of the country.
He couldn't wait to ask for advice and said: "In my opinion, how can I escape from the encirclement and where should I go?"
Duoshan took a map, traced it with his fingers, and explained it to Jiaqing.
"With the Ming Dynasty in the south, our army cannot attack a stone with an egg.
So there are only two options.
The first is to send troops to Liaodong to quell Sauron's uprising, learn from Taizu's old deeds, dominate Liaodong first and wait for the time to change.
But this road is impassable. There are many skilled warriors in the bitter cold land of Sauron, and I, the Qing Dynasty, may not be able to win.
Besides, it was very close to the Ming Army in Lushun, so it was not a good choice. "
Jiaqing nodded repeatedly.
As long as the Ming army was there, he really didn't dare to get close to them.
"What about the other way?"
"Go all the way west, go deep into the grassland to get tribal population and war horses, and then go west again!"
The kind fingers traced all the way from Beiping to the northwest.
After rowing through Tumubao, crossing Ulanqab, Baotou, and Bayannur, we then turned north and passed through the central grassland.
Arrive at Lake Baikal.
"This will be my new world in the Qing Dynasty!"
"Are you going to run so far?"
Jiaqing looked at the far distance and felt a little unsure.
Far away from the center of civilization, can I really be able to fight back?
Duo Shan saw Jiaqing's hesitation and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to cut it off.
As the art of war goes, if you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land; if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land.
Where there is life, there is hope.
The Ming Dynasty was able to recover from wandering in Australia, why can’t I the Qing Dynasty? "
Jiaqing thought about it, wandering around in the Yangxin Hall, and finally made up his mind.
"Yes, brother Xian is right!
It's time to leave this sad place. As long as we live, we will come back one day!
Go get ready and call my traitorous son too! "
Duo Shan accepted the order and left the Yangxin Hall.
This Western Expedition is a Western Expedition involving families and people, so early preparations need to be made.
Aisin Gioro's tribe, the emperor's harem.
What's more important is 10,000 new troops and a huge amount of silver.
Unfortunately, after some complicated calculations, Duoshan reduced the silver that Jiaqing could take away to 30 million taels.
There is no way, Jinling will not approve it no matter how much it goes on.
As for the remaining silver, Dushan buried it deep underground and arranged a team of Jinyi guards to maintain contact with Jinling.
Moreover, Duo Shan also prepared great gifts for those ministers.
When the Western Expedition army left the camp in a mighty manner, those loyal Manchu ministers came to their senses and discovered that their two emperors had run away.
This time the whole capital exploded.
A large number of officials began to flee.
Some officials wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters and planned to rob the city before leaving, but they were attacked by a group of unidentified cavalry.
Duo Shan's troops left in the Forbidden City worked, and together with the officials at all levels who had been contacted earlier, the security of Beiping City was brought under control after a brief period of chaos.
…
Outside the Yongguan Pass.
Earthen fort.
The two sages Jiaqing and Daoguang marched to the west.
The good-looking dragoons quickly cleared away the surrounding Junggar scouts.
Then, 10,000 new troops and 30,000 Praetorian Guards besieged Lutros's army in the Tumu Fort.
The general of the new army is Duo Shan, and the general of the Imperial Guard is Xu Ming.
The backbone generals at all levels, Yang Yuchun, Wu Da and Wu Er, formed the peak lineup of the Jiaqing Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
The spring breeze blows and the flags are fluttering.
When the Qing Dynasty surrounded Tumu Fort, Lutros was confused.
There really is something cursed about this earthen fortress.
Is the earthen fort easy to attack but difficult to defend?
"Boom boom boom~"
The Qing army's artillery roared and smoke filled the air.
In order to strengthen Emperor Jiaqing's ability to attack critical areas, Zhu Zaiming secretly transported 32 80mm light field guns from Lushun.
These artillery pieces are the work of the Chongming Artillery Factory and are traditional black powder solid projectile artillery pieces.
The advantages are outstanding. The artillery uses a new type of gun steel. It is very light and can be pulled by two horses to maneuver on flat ground.
Based on 32 light field guns, Doshan added a large number of French cannons and a small number of redcoat cannons to form an artillery brigade with 3,000 artillery personnel.
With the continuous bombardment of the Qing army's artillery, Lutros's outer position of the earthen fort could no longer hold up.
A large number of soldiers began to retreat backwards.
Yang Yuchun seized the opportunity, found a favorable direction, and began to organize the musketeers to line up.
The spring breeze blew the smoke from the burning gunpowder towards the Tumu Fort position, and as time passed, the distance gradually became closer.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Yuchun commanded the New Army's musketeers to line up into the smoke that obscured the battlefield, and relied on the smoke cover to approach within 80 meters of the Tumu Fort position.
"Charge in formation!"
As the military order was issued, the orderly soldiers waved the order flag in front of the musketeers.
After analyzing the flag and military orders, officers at all levels began to direct the company to move forward.
In order for the Qing army to quickly occupy the position, Duoshan in the rear asked the artillerymen to rely on the gun surface and raise the muzzle.
The artillery shell passed over the heads of the Qing army's musketeers, smashed into the Tumu Fort position, and fired an infantry-artillery strike.
Many Dzungar Musketeers who had completed the formation were scattered, and the iron balls plowed more than a dozen bloody paths in the formation.
The Qing army's musketeers calmly emerged from the smoke and appeared in front of the formation.
Many Junggar soldiers who had fought against Yang Yuchun were immediately panicked.
"It's him, it's Yang Yuchun!"
"Another smoke masking tactic!"
"The devil in the smoke!"
When the Qing army musketeers, under the orders of the officers, began to approach and shoot.
Just one salvo destroyed the Junggar formation.
The war started out one-sided.
The victory of the Qing army is imminent.
