"Okay, great. I didn't expect Master Fu Heng to bring so many artillery. In this way, we will no longer be afraid of the elephant soldiers of Myanmar. As for the other Burmese troops, I believe that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty will not be afraid either. They." Niu Hulu Shanqin said excitedly.
"This is natural. Lord Shanqin has been tired these days." Looking at Niu Hulu Shanqin's mood swings, Fucha Fu Heng was quite emotional.
Fu Cha. Fu Heng could understand the feeling of being forced to resist without a sharp weapon.
I remember that after he took over the Jiangnan Bandit Suppression Camp, he was not only suppressed and beaten by the firearms of the bandit suppression army, but also driven all the way from Hunan to Shandong, not to mention how aggrieved he was.
Fucha Fu Heng felt that if he could mobilize a large number of spears and artillery at any time to fight the bandit suppressing troops like he does now, there would be no reason for him to lose so quickly.
Of course, Fucha Fu Heng would not think that he would attach so much importance to artillery now. The reason why he attaches so much importance to muskets is because he suffered a loss in the bandit suppression army.
You know, the imperial court still strictly prohibits Green Camp soldiers from possessing firearms, and it is even more strict, let alone civilians.
"Hey, I don't want to take it anymore because I'm tired. It's just that I haven't been able to defeat the Burmese army and drive the Burmese people out of our Qing territory. I really have ignored the divine grace!" Niu Hulu Shanqin said and bowed to the north. .
"The emperor is aware of Lord Shanqin's hard work, and he keeps it in his heart. Let's work together to drive the Burmese out." Fucha Fu Heng comforted him.
"Yes, yes... Lord Fu Heng is right." Niu Hulu Shanqin suddenly came and continued energetically: "Although I am nervous during the war, it is a joy to see Lord Fu Heng today. . Let’s not talk about other things for now. Today I have prepared a banquet for Lord Fu Heng to wash away the dust. Please be sure to show your respect to Lord Fu Heng.”
"Master Shanqin invites you, Fu Heng dare not violate it. I will definitely be there." Fucha Fu Heng immediately added.
Chinese officialdom has always been a wine-table culture, and Fu Cha and Fu Heng would not dare to disobey unless something terrible happened before his eyes.
This banquet was to introduce him to the local celebrities, gentry and chieftain officials from all over the world, although these people might not be able to catch the eye of Fucha Fu Heng on ordinary days. But now that the war is tense, it is necessary for Fucha Fu Heng to show his face in front of them and promise them some benefits, so as to gain the greatest support from the local people.
"Well, Mr. Fu Heng is tired from traveling all the way, so I won't disturb Mr. Fu Heng's rest for now. I will discuss other specific military affairs with Mr. Fu Heng one by one after the banquet." Niu Hulu Shanqin said. .
"That's fine, everything has been taken care of, sir." Fucha Fu Heng, who was also feeling tired at this moment, did not make any pretense and went down the road. After all, he was indeed tired from the constant rush along the way.
Although he knew that military affairs were in full swing, he didn't understand the principle that haste makes waste. Everything could only be discussed after the banquet prepared by Niu Hulu and Shanqin!

Yunnan, Lincang
Myanmar army camp
Since the Burmese army invaded Yunnan at the beginning of the year, it took less than three months to reach Lincang. The speed made Yong Jiya feel a little incredible.
Although they encountered desperate resistance from Yunnan along the way, they were all defeated one by one under the strong attack of the Burmese army.
The victories along the way, the surrender of local chieftains and the burning, killing and looting of local people all boosted the morale of the Burmese army. The thousands of women in the military camps who were kidnapped by the Burmese army and used for prostitution by the army all made Yong Jiya feel that the Manchus were just paper tigers.
So much so that after Yong Jiya was "drunk", he arrogantly announced in the army that Myanmar would conquer Kunming in three months and Yunnan in six months.
Yong Jiya's "bold words" made the Burmese army happy. At this time, few in the Burmese army would take the Manchus seriously anymore. In their eyes, Yunnan was the meat in their mouths.
It was night, and for the women in the camp, it was another miserable night.
"Your Majesty, I have received a secret report that the Manchu army marching south has arrived in Kunming and will arrive on the battlefield in the near future." After the banquet, Yong Jiya, who returned to the camp, was listening to intelligence officer Yongla Maimaiya's forward inspection. Report.
"Can you clearly know how many people are here? Who is in command?" Yong Jiya changed his previous free and easy attitude and immediately asked cautiously.
"Back to the emperor, we haven't figured out the exact number of troops yet. What the spies have learned from the Qing Dynasty newspaper is that they have at least more than 100,000 soldiers, including nearly 60,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty." Yong La. Maimaiya He answered calmly as if he had already memorized it by heart.
"The one who came in command was Fucha Fu Heng. Fucha Fu Heng was the younger brother of Emperor Qianlong's deceased Empress Xiaoxian Chun. He once showed great talent in putting down the Sichuan Rebellion and was named a first-class Duke. But in Last year, he was defeated in the battle against the rebels in the south and treated the criminals' family, but this time he was reused by Emperor Qianlong for some unknown reason."
"A defeated general who can't even put down a bunch of mud-legged rebels is not something to be afraid of. I have heard about the Manchu and Qing dynasty's efforts to put down the rebellion in Sichuan from the chieftains in Yunnan. It was mainly due to Yongzheng. The veteran Yue Zhongqi who stayed during the period." Yong Jiya analyzed with disapproval on his face.
"Yue Zhongqi, as a descendant of the famous general Yue Fei, is very capable. If he is still alive, it will indeed be a troublesome existence for me in Myanmar. But unfortunately, Yue Zhongqi is dead. And Fucha Fu Hengping was born in a poor family in the south. Even the rebels could not be put down, which proves that his ability is just that. So Fucha Fu Heng is not worth fearing. On the contrary, we should be happy."
"The emperor is right, that is, a general who is promoted through family connections really has nothing to worry about." Yongla Maimaiya immediately agreed.
"Have you found any other generals who came with him this time?" Yong Jiya continued to ask.
"I don't know at the moment, but I only know that there was a general named Zhang Jia and Agui accompanying him, who seemed to be highly valued by Fu Cha and Fu Heng. It is said that he made great achievements in suppressing the rebels in the south of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was awarded by the Manchu Qing court. "Yong La. Maimai Ya replied after thinking for a while.
"Then you need to pay attention to this person." Yong Jiya said.
"yes."
…
April, the twenty-third year of Qianlong's reign
The Qing Dynasty and Burma used Shuangbai County in Yunnan as the battlefield, and each invested nearly 100,000 troops in the war.
At the beginning of the war, the Burmese army with high morale had the upper hand against the green soldiers who only had cold weapons. Especially with the addition of the Burmese elephant soldiers and artillery, the green soldiers in the vanguard of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were almost defeated.
However, with the addition of the Manchu and Qing Eight Banners soldiers, a large number of artillery and muskets were used on the battlefield, causing the Burmese army to be stunned by the Manchu and Qing forces.
Several battlefields were fought fiercely, with both sides suffering heavy losses.
At this time, the two sides have entered a tug of war. Myanmar discovered that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were not as weak as they imagined, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also understood that Myanmar's strength cannot be underestimated.
However, just when both sides were helpless, something unexpected happened on the Manchu and Qing side.
Fucha Fu Heng received bad news. Unfortunately, rebellion broke out again in the Jinchuan and Jinchuan areas of Sichuan, and their rebellion is very likely to block the source of northern military logistics.
