Qianlong was able to firmly control the Qing Empire for more than sixty years, and was able to exterminate the Zhungeer tribe while he was on the throne, ending more than half a century of war between the Qing and Zhun.

His skills are definitely not bad.

At least compared to his grandson Daoguang, who has an elm-headed head.

Although Qianlong implemented extremely harsh literary inquisition and ideological suppression when he was in power.

But he knew his reasons and motivations for doing so.

It’s not like you’re fooling yourself into lameness.

Therefore, he built an army of coats and made muskets and artillery.

They were all changes carried out to deal with the new Ming Dynasty in the south.

Now, in order to deal with the Ming army's explosive bombs, he even thought of using sandbag trucks as a sideways method.

Under his gaze.

Sandbag trucks lay down one after another, and the southern green battalion soldiers behind and the Shaanxi-Gansu green battalion soldiers supervising behind were exposed to the firepower of the Ming army.

But they were also smart. They lay down under the sandbag wall one by one, holding their heads to avoid the bombardment.

After a while, after making sure there were no shells hitting his head, he got up.

...

"Nanmanzi, what are you looking at? Come on!"

An angry voice with a Shaanxi-Gansu accent sounded.

Chen Huacheng withdrew his gaze from behind and tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.

He is from Tong'an County, Fujian Province.

Attack the general manager of Fujian Green Camp.

But because Tong'an County already belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

As a Fujianese, he is no longer trusted and is now the same as many Green Camp soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places.

The muskets and other weapons in his hands were all taken away.

Only a wooden spear was stuffed, and he became the cannon fodder at the front pushing the sandbag cart.

Now the sandbag truck is destroyed.

They also had to line up in a horizontal formation holding wooden guns and go up to charge into the formation.

He is a complete cannon fodder.

Chen Huacheng was holding a wooden gun. The seventeen-year-old boy was already so hungry that his belly was pressed against his back.

Plus the expense of pushing this heavy sandbag cart.

Now I walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The swaying soldiers from the Southern Green Camp, who were suffering from the same disease, leaned on each other and bypassed the sandbag truck blocking the front.

Carefully avoid the corpses and pieces of meat lying on the ground.

He gritted his teeth and walked forward.

"Become brothers, we will be regarded as cannon fodder to consume the Ming army's artillery shells..."

The person talking next to Chen Huacheng was a young man about the same age as him. He was dark and strong, but now he was panting heavily when he walked.

The black-shaped young man's name is Chen Liansheng, a native of Hubei.

His hometown did not become the land of the Ming Dynasty, but... it was swept away by the White Lotus cult bandits. I don't know if his parents and family in his hometown were swept away.

In these troubled times, tragedies such as wives and children being separated and families destroyed are happening all the time.

"I've only eaten a bowl of rice soup this morning, and I don't know whether I will be beaten to death by the Ming army or starve to death."

Chen Huacheng staggered forward with his gun and whispered. At this time, the supervisory army behind was already a little far away from them.

"Damn it, the people from the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp and the coated army all ate white rice this morning." Chen Liansheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I have no hope now, so I just want to have a full meal."

Chen Huacheng couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this.

Although the Anren Chen family is not a wealthy family, when his father and uncle were still alive, they worked as errands in Lvying, Fujian.

Although he is destined to become a Green Camp soldier in the future.

However, he has never been short of food since he was a child. He has also attended private schools, read books on sages, and read many military books. If nothing happens, his generation will have the opportunity to advance to the next level in the Green Camp system.

However, all this is now a mirror image.

After his father and uncle died one after another, seventeen-year-old Chen Huacheng was forced to take his father's place and was drafted to the Guangdong front line.

Then he retreated all the way.

Now Anren County is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there have been sporadic incidents of defections of green camp soldiers in the south.

Green camp soldiers like him are no longer trusted and have become expendable on the battlefield...

Either he would starve to death or he would be beaten to death.

Anyway, I'm going to die.

"Become brothers, brother doesn't want to die!" Chen Liansheng said with his head lowered.

Chen Huacheng shook his head.

"Who would want to die? Brother Liansheng, we are destined to be cannon fodder now."

"Go to hell!"

"Get down! The shells are coming!!"

The roar of the cannonballs streaking across the sky made the two men suddenly fall forward and fall to the ground.

Intense artillery fire sounded.

But it didn't hit them, the target was the mortars behind them!

"Here's your chance! Transform into brothers and charge!"

Chen Liansheng suddenly slapped Chen Huacheng, dropped the spear in his hand, stood up suddenly and rushed forward.

Whoosh whoosh!

A bullet grazed his scalp.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, surrender! Surrender!!"

Chen Liansheng yelled, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He ran two to three hundred steps in one breath, and waited for Chen Huacheng to look up.

The other party has already rushed into the trenches of the Ming army.

"You should be able to have a full meal now, right?"

Chen Huacheng thought.

Right now.

I remembered the sound of drums ahead.

tread! tread! tread!

Chen Huacheng looked up and saw rows of Ming soldiers carrying muskets and leaping out of the trenches in neat steps.

"Get up! Get up!"

"The time has come to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty!!"

"If you kill a person, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and your official rank will be promoted to one level!"

Loyal?

Why should I be loyal to this Qing Dynasty?

Chen Huacheng, who got up from the ground, felt a little envious of the bold Chen Liansheng.

This Hubei guy is so courageous.

Pity...

If we had run there together, we would have eaten now, right?

.........

"This is to use cannon fodder to consume our artillery shells!"

Yang Yuchun could see the intention of the Qing army opposite him at a glance, with a bit of complexity and joy in his eyes.

The green soldiers who were serving as cannon fodder across the street were once considered his colleagues.

Now he is abandoned without hesitation.

Yang Yuchun also felt the sadness of hurting others.

"The first mortar company bombarded the opponent's mortar truck. The first musketeer battalion, the second grenadier battalion, and the direct jagger company came out! The rest retreated to their positions, and the second light howitzer company pushed the guns into position and waited for the Qing Dynasty. The cavalry will come up and attack again!"

Yang Yuchun leaned against the parapet with a telescope and issued a series of orders.

An infantry battalion came out and formed three horizontal lines.

A grenadier battalion was behind them, also forming three horizontal lines.

They will throw out a round of grenades when the infantry battalion fires a round of bullets and then launches a hand-to-hand charge.

Or when facing a cavalry attack, form a hollow square formation with the infantry battalion and use grenades to bombard the enemy cavalry.

Accompanied by rhythmic drum beats.

The infantry formation of more than a thousand people stepped out of the trenches and headed directly towards the Qing army's cannon fodder green battalion and the Gansu-Shaanxi green battalion in the middle.

"How brave!"

Qianlong took a deep breath.

Dare to step out of the trenches in front of tens of thousands of troops with thousands of cavalry.

It's really bold.

"The opportunity has come!" Le Bao was overjoyed.

Lebao is also a veteran on the battlefield and has fought against the Zhungeer tribe in the Western Regions for many years.

Now the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dare to go out into battle without cavalry protection. Isn't this asking for death?

"God bless the Qing Dynasty, let General Zhalang Atong's cavalry charge the enemy's formation!"

Zhalang'a is Lebao's fierce general.

Following Lebao in the southern and northern campaigns, he gained a lot of benefits when he conquered Zhungeer.

The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp has cavalry.

In fact.

The eight governors of the Qing Dynasty.

To the late Qianlong Dynasty.

Except for the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu, all others have been Han people (except Han Banner).

Only the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was the first to have a non-banner person occupy this position until the Daoguang period.

seven other governors.

There are both civil and military officials.

Only the governors of Shaanxi and Gansu were all held by military positions.

This is actually related to the fact that the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was the elite among the elite in the green camp of the Qing Dynasty, and was another pillar of force in the Qing Dynasty besides the Eight Banners.

The governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu was formed after the 25th year of Qianlong's reign. His full title was "Governor-General of Shaanxi-Gansu and other places, supervising military affairs, food and salary, managing tea horses and governor affairs." In addition, the governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu was the first among the eight governors in the country to be granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the title of Imperial Censor of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Some of the early governors of other provinces still held the title of Minister of War.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the senior officials serving in Shaanxi and Gansu were basically military generals, with civilians accounting for a minority. And they are all bannermen (including Han military banners). In the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign, Yin Jishan became the first governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, followed by Huang Tinggui, Yongchang, Wu Dashan and others.

Shaanxi-Gansu is a special place. Among the green battalion armies in all provinces across the country, the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion has the largest number of people and the most powerful combat effectiveness.

Kangxi once said: "The green troops in the world are not as strong as Shaanxi, and their number is twice as heavy as that of other provinces."

During the reign of San Francisco.

There are also Zhang Yong, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Jinbao, Sun Sike and others in the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, known as the "Four Generals of Hexi".

therefore.

This Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp is different from other Green Camps in other places.

Under the attention of the Qing court.

The combat effectiveness of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion is also much higher than that of other Green Battalion armed forces.

Thousands of cavalry charged.

Shake the ground.

Yang Yuchun sneered when he saw it.

With muskets and artillery, cavalry is no longer king on the battlefield!

"Hollow Phalanx!"

As Yang Yuchun issued the order. Please download the app Aiyue app to read the latest content

The advancing Ming army infantry immediately changed their formation.

A hollow square array about sixty or seventy paces long on all sides was formed.

On the periphery were musketeers holding bayonets.

Inside is a grenadier who has taken off the grenade's fresh-keeping cover.

at the same time.

The six light howitzers retreated, aiming directly at the charging Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion cavalry and firing!

With a ballistic trajectory parallel to the ground, the steel-cased gun can withstand huge chamber pressure, which brings about a huge discharge speed.

The cannonball visible to the naked eye suddenly hit the chest of a war horse. The conical cannonball penetrated the horse. The sudden stop of the cannonball caused the safety pin inside the fuse to be thrown out under the action of centrifugal force, igniting the ignition powder.

The next second...

boom!

The artillery exploded in the air.

Countless shell fragments flew everywhere.

The surrounding cavalry companies were beaten into a sieve...

In front of such a weapon.

The cavalry unit will soon withdraw from its position as the absolute main force on the battlefield and become a link in the battlefield system that must cooperate with infantry operations.

The future of war.

It is the mentality of muskets, artillery, and cavalry cooperating with each other.

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.
