"OK!"
Under Zhu Daohua's gaze.
A huge gap appeared in the much thickened wall of Ganzhou City.
Although not all the thickened rammed earth and sandbag walls were destroyed.
But now the masonry structure of the original city wall has been completely destroyed.
If only a layer of soft rammed earth is left.
It can be completely blown apart by bombardment with artillery.
"Concentrate your firepower and bombard the gap!"
Zhu Daohua immediately ordered.
soon.
The eight three-inch guns, which had been repaired for some time, had their muzzles leveled.
Prepare to shoot directly.
A city wall with such a rammed earth structure can be completely destroyed by a solid bullet.
What's more, it's a high-explosive bomb filled with ten pounds of yellow gunpowder.
"At most, it will only take a few rounds of artillery fire. The general attack will be launched in half an hour! Let the 1st Grenadier Battalion go up!"
Zhu Daohua held the pocket watch in his hand.
This is a European Swiss watch copied from a factory in Foshan.
Taking twelve hours as a quarter, one revolution will take exactly twelve hours, which is one day.
Now is the moment of application.
That is 3:20 p.m.
"Launch the general attack at six o'clock in the morning! All attacking units are ready!"
Zhu Daohua just put down his pocket watch.
A knight came on horseback. Before the horse could stop, he jumped off his horse, landed on the ground, staggered, and ran to Zhu Daohua's side.
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei Hubei and Sichuan are reporting urgently!"
Hubei, Sichuan?
Zhu Daohua frowned slightly, already guessing something.
really.
He opened it and confirmed his suspicion.
"A civil uprising broke out in Sichuan, Hubei Province. Liu Zhixie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, started an uprising in Xiangyang. Jingzhou and Xiangyang both rose up. Liu Zhixie claimed to be the King of Heaven and broke the prefectural offices of Jingzhou and Xiangyang. He carried a large number of people and goods to the west and entered Sichuan. , White Lotus sect members revolted one after another across Sichuan, and the whole of Sichuan was filled with smoke..."
Zhu Daohua handed the urgent report to Tao Biquan and explained to Napoleon at the same time.
"The White Lotus Sect is an anti-traditional force in Chinese society. Their existence is aimed at rebellion. To be honest, my ancestor Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang also used the White Lotus Sect when he opposed the rule of the Mongol Empire. the power of."
"Then this sect is really stubborn." Napoleon said in surprise.
In a large centralized empire, such a sect can still exist and last for hundreds of years.
The tenacious vitality of the White Lotus really surprised Napoleon.
"They are indeed natural rebels, but it's a pity...they only rebel for the sake of rebellion. They may be capable of destroying an empire, but they don't know how to create a new country."
Zhu Daohua frowned and said.
"They have entered Sichuan now. If they return to Hubei or Hunan, they will be in trouble."
There is no problem at all in defeating Liu Zhixie's Heavenly King's army head-on.
The other side is just a bunch of rabble.
Even the official army in the late Ming Dynasty could easily defeat the refugee army that was more than ten times the number.
But this doesn't work at all.
Because of this, the peasant army that fled to fight rose and fell.
If you are not careful, you can recruit hundreds of thousands of people to fight again.
And the damage to the place is really too great.
A riot in a province can wipe out more than half of the province's population.
Therefore, what Zhu Daohua is most worried about is that these refugee armies will turn around and fight out again, entering Hubei, Hunan, and even Jiangxi and Jiangnan to fight.
"Your Majesty, it is unlikely that the rebels will enter the south to fight. They are most likely going to the north."
Tao Biquan said.
"The water network in the south is dense, and it is difficult for the rebels to move around in the south on a large scale. But it is different in the north... If you give them time, they can move around throughout the Central Plains."
Zhu Daohua also nodded when he heard this: "Theoretically, this is true, but we still can't take it lightly."
really.
Who knows if these refugee soldiers are literate and understand the difference between the north and the south.
"And...if the north is harmed by them, it will be difficult to recover."
Zhu Daohua shook his head repeatedly and frowned.
This is really a possibility now.
Because there is no such variable as oneself in history.
The White Lotus Sect uprising occurred in the first year of Jiaqing.
Qianlong was not dead at that time, but he had already passed the throne to Jiaqing.
And now.
It is very likely that the White Lotus Sect started the uprising five years in advance because of this variable.
The timing was very accurate.
Just when the Ming and Qing Dynasties mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangxi, they started an uprising at the junction of Sichuan and Chu, where the defense was empty and the rule was weak.
And a huge energy burst out all of a sudden. In a short period of time, Jingzhou and Xiangyang were completely swept by the rebel army. If nothing unexpected happens, except for Chengdu Prefecture, the local forces of the Qing Dynasty in various parts of Sichuan will not be able to stop the advance of the White Lotus Sect army.
in history.
The Qing Dynasty spent 200 million taels of silver in military expenditures and took more than ten years to finally suppress the largest peasant uprising in the mid-Qing Dynasty.
And now.
Liu Zhixie, the king of the White Lotus Sect, was not captured by the Qing Dynasty, which was completely different from the White Lotus Sect uprising in history.
This great uprising had a clear leadership core.
"The Heavenly King Liu Zhixie will not become Hong Xiuquan, right? Then who is Yang Xiuqing?"
Zhu Daohua murmured in a low voice.
Just when Zhu Daohua was still digesting the sudden news.
Another ride came galloping.
"Your Majesty! Urgent report from Nanchang Mansion!"
Another urgent report?
Zhu Daohua frowned and read the urgent report from the Jinyi Guards of Nanchang Prefecture.
"Your Majesty, what happened to Nanchang Mansion?"
Tao Biquan asked.
Zhu Daohua handed the urgent report in his hand to Tao Biquan.
I don't know whether to cry or smile on my face.
"Qianlong...may be angry to death."
"Mad?"
Tao Biquan read the news from Nanchang.
"After Qianlong received the news of the fall of Jing and Xiang, he was so furious that he fell into a coma... This is the news that came from Nanchang Xingzai. We cannot rule out the possibility that Qianlong is dead and the ministers covered up the news."
"Is Qianlong really dead?"
Zhu Daohua asked.
Tao Biquan frowned, then shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. It is not impossible to die from a sudden attack of fire."
After all, age is here.
But the old emperor who ruled the Qing Empire for more than fifty years died in such a... dramatic way.
Both Zhu Daohua and Tao Biquan found it a bit unbelievable.
"However, I think there is a high probability that he is just comatose and not dead. Otherwise... the Nanchang camp will definitely evacuate, and the Qing government in Ganzhou will also find a way to evacuate the Baoyi Army and the Eight Banners." Tao Biquan said.
"Could it be a bluff?" Zhu Daohua asked.
"Your Majesty, our army's goal this time is at most limited to the south of the Yangtze River. The Tatars are clear about this, but... that is not necessarily the case for the rebels in Sichuan and Hubei. Their goal is most likely to be in the north!" Tao Biquan said.
'In other words, for the Qing Tatars, the top priority is to defend the Central Plains first and prevent the White Lotus Sect's army from entering the Central Plains. But now they have not made any decision. It is very likely that their decision-making center has stalled, Qianlong is in a coma, and no important minister dares to make a decision easily! '
Zhu Daohua nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity! We must invade Nanchang Mansion as soon as possible while no one in the Qing Dynasty dares to make a decision!" Tao Biquan said in a low voice.
"You're right. If hundreds of thousands of elites from the Qing Dynasty are stranded in Nanchang Mansion, it will indeed be our opportunity!!"
"let's start!"
Zhu Daohua gave the order.
Eight three-inch cannons burst into flames again.
The shells roared towards the gap opened by the bombardment.
Several artillery shells penetrated into the rammed earth and exploded inside. One round of shelling almost broke the rammed earth layer! !
.........
"What's going on? What's going on?!"
After that loud bang.
Agui and Fu Ankang were both angry and their lips were bubbling.
"Ni Ming used explosives to blow up the city wall!"
someone shouted.
"It's over, it's over, why can't this city wall be blown up!"
"What should I do now!"
"Without the city wall, Ni Ming will come in!"
Agui and Fukangan looked at each other.
"Third Fucha, now it's time to fight!"
Agui said through gritted teeth.
"Eldenbao! Now lead the Jianrui Battalion and the three thousand Baoyi Army to plug the gap! Stop shooting against Ni Ming, you can't win!"
Agui grabbed Eldenbao and explained loudly.
"Fight hand-to-hand combat! Ambush on both sides of the road. Ni Ming comes up and directly pounces on them to engage them in hand-to-hand combat!!"
"I obey my orders!"
Eldenbao immediately accepted the order and left.
Artillery battles, musketry exchanges.
Now it seems that they are no match for the Ming army.
After much thought, Agui concluded that only by creating opportunities for hand-to-hand combat and using hand-to-hand combat to deal with the Ming army, could the gap in weapons between the two sides be smoothed.
at the same time.
Outside Ganzhou City.
The infantry of the Ming army approached the huge gap from both sides with their muskets in hand.
Just wait for the gap to be completely opened before rushing into the city!
"Mortar ready!!"
"Aim! Aim! Suppressive fire!"
The officers shouted one after another.
boom!
There was another earth-shaking sound.
The last trace of wall remaining in the gap was blown down. The violent explosion lifted up the sandbags and rammed earth, and the gap in the city wall suddenly opened up.
Boom boom boom!
The mortars began to tilt their fire toward the front of the gap.
at the same time.
A Ming army officer waved the command knife in his hand and jumped forward out of the trench first.
"Come on! Long live King Ming! Long live Ming!!"
"Rush!!"
Suddenly.
A red torrent surged forward like a tide!
Wait until the smoke clears.
The red torrent has gathered at the gap, moving forward indomitably! !
What awaits ahead.
Not Green Camp.
But the elite of the Qing army led by Eldenbao!
The Ming army must rush in through this gap.
At this time, if we do not block the gap with absolute elites, push the Ming army back, and fill the gap again.
Then Ganzhou City will definitely not be able to be defended!
Eldenbao took a deep breath.
"We are all men of the Eight Banners, don't embarrass our ancestors!!"
"Protect the Qing Dynasty! Protect the Emperor!"
"Rush!!"
"Protect the Qing Dynasty, protect the Emperor! Charge!!"
The Eight Banners Jianrui Camp, wearing white cotton armor, suddenly shouted.
Rushed forward.
The red and white torrents are about to collide in this narrow gap!
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
