"do you died?"
Zhongdu Palace, in the Qinzheng Hall of Emperor Zhu Daohua of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Daohua had a look of surprise on his face.
Speaking of which, Fukang'an's confession and suicide note have not yet been sent to Beijing.
Zhu Daohua, who was in the Yingtianfu Palace, knew the news of Fukang'an's defeat earlier than Qianlong.
It started with the battle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing army in Henan.
Jinyiwei sent a large number of spies to investigate the course of the war between the two sides, and of course they would not miss this decisive battle.
"Not yet, the water in Luohe River is too shallow." Gong Zhuman said regretfully.
"Then I don't want to die." Zhu Daohua waved his hand.
It's not easy to die, so why make such a fuss and apologize and write a suicide note?
Even the whole world knew about it.
"Fukangan still has 10,000 cavalry in his hands now, and he is still collecting the defeated troops. It is estimated that he can recover 20,000 to 30,000," Gong Zhuman said.
"With an army of 70,000, taking back 20,000 to 30,000 would be considered a loss of strength." Zhu Daohua stood up and stared at the sand table map of the Central Plains.
At this time, the small red flag representing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been planted on the edge of Luoyang, and the surrounding counties and towns had been swept away. It became possible to bring millions of people north to Beijing again.
The outcome of this battle was not expected by the General Staff of the Grand Marshal's Mansion - mainly because they did not expect that the Green Banner of the Qing Dynasty, which seemed to be quite capable in the intelligence, would actually be defeated under the leadership of the famous Qing Dynasty general Fukang'an. The war was defeated by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Then the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be re-evaluated.
Based on intelligence from the Henan battlefield.
Although the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven are not well equipped, their will and fighting spirit to fight are quite tenacious. They are neither afraid of hardship nor death.
Such an army must be quite difficult to deal with.
Zhu Daohua murmured in his heart.
With such powerful government soldiers, we have learned and summarized the essence of the peasant armies of past dynasties who used to flee and coerce in battles.
what is this?
In the early Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers added Li Zicheng?
Will the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really defeat Beijing?
It seems that I have made an empiricist error.
I think that the Qing Dynasty in history was able to suppress the White Lotus Sect Uprising, which shows that this White Lotus Sect Uprising is nothing special.
However, Zhu Daohua himself has learned a lot about history and has forgotten the evaluation of this uprising in history textbooks: the highest peak of the Chinese peasant movement.
They all have the highest evaluation, and the natural scale is quite huge.
Moreover, due to the constraints of Zhu Daohua's Ming Dynasty, the Qing government was unable to organize large armies and regiment training to divide and encircle the rebel army in the first place.
This allowed the rebel army to become completely bigger in Guanzhong.
Nowadays, the manor-raised army system has been implemented.
He has a group of Heavenly Kingdom soldiers who are not very numerous, but are quite capable of fighting, quite unafraid of hardship, and quite unafraid of death.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with this capital is naturally completely different from the uprising army of the White Lotus Sect that was suppressed in history.
"Can the Qing government defend Luoyang?"
Zhu Daohua said softly.
Chang Yinghu on the side did not answer because he was only a secretary and not the emperor's chief of staff.
"Go and invite the left and right prime ministers, the army and navy ministers, and the household ministers to come."
Zhu Daohua now felt regretful and slapped his thigh. If he had known, he would have kept Napoleon for a few more days - just a few days ago, Napoleon and the French delegation went south to Guangzhou.
The French mission is going to Guangzhou for a large purchase.
Mainly to purchase ordnance.
With the green light given by Zhu Daohua, except for some weapons that are clearly prohibited from export, the French Republic's mission can freely buy them.
The purchase price was only twice as much as the Ming Army's own purchase price.
It's really very conscientious.
For this reason, the French Republic also sold its small colony in India to the Ming Dynasty for 500,000 Ming yuan - of course, this money must be paid by the coalition of Indian princes.
With this small colony on the east coast of India, Sun Shiyi and his hundreds of thousands of people no longer have to bear the risk of landing operations - even in World War II, it was very difficult to organize large-scale landing operations. Quite a large combat mode.
Its complexity can be said to be the culmination of all forms of war in human history.
Therefore, if you can land comfortably at a safe port, who would like to risk the front line to grab the beach?
did not expect.
Only the front foot sent Napoleon away.
The form of the battlefield in the Central Plains suddenly experienced such a big change.
Zhu Daohua was completely caught off guard.
Now his most trusted general adviser, Napoleon Bonaparte, Duke of Ming Dynasty, is going back to the turbulent European battlefield to make contributions.
Zhu Daohua can now only rely on the cobblers in his court to make suggestions.
I don’t know that these people didn’t have many names in the history of previous lives.
And what kind of ideas can the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty give, who will definitely become wise and mighty in this life, and whose glorious deeds will be mentioned in Ming textbooks in later generations?
Does the hero create the situation, or does the situation create the hero?
Zhu Daohua himself often couldn't think clearly or understand.
soon.
An important minister of the Ming Dynasty got the news.
Including Prime Minister Luo Fangbo of the left, Prime Minister Gu Song of the right, Zhang Hong, the Minister of the Navy, Zhao Si, the Minister of the Army and the general manager of the Liaodi Reclamation Department, Pan Youdu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Tao Biquan, the General Staff Officer of the Northern Expeditionary Army Headquarters, and others quickly arrived. Come over.
On the way here they had already digested the shocking news from the north.
The powerful fighting power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made the important officials of the Ming Dynasty look solemn.
Unlike Zhu Daohua, who doesn't look down on the White Lotus Rebels more or less.
These important officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have the filter of later generations. In their view, the leadership group of this peasant army was quite powerful.
The purpose is clear and the plan is implemented in place.
Based in Guanzhong, plotting against the Central Plains.
It can be said that the step by step is very solid and very stable.
There are probably not many rebel armies in history that can compare with it.
The rank is even higher than that of Li Chuang in the previous Ming Dynasty.
"The Taiping Army defeated the main force of the Green Flag Army of the Qing Dynasty under the command of Fukang'an, swept Henan, and surrounded Luoyang. As soon as Luoyang was reached, the Taiping Army was very likely to attack Kaifeng. Kaifeng was in danger and could not be defended. Stay, when the time comes to Kaifeng, the Taiping Army will lead millions of people to the north along the inland river, and they will be able to besiege Beijing!"
Pointing to the sand table, Tao Biquan introduced.
The Taiping Army had the possibility of capturing Beijing, which made the faces of the officials of the Ming Dynasty become even more solemn.
Capture Beijing and return the old capital.
This is not just a military issue.
It is also a major political issue.
this task.
It can only be completed by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
If the Taiping Army captured Beijing City.
That would be a damage to the Ming Dynasty and the prestige of the Restoration Emperor.
This is a stain.
Daming couldn't bear it no matter what.
"The problem now is that if the Taiping Army captures Luoyang and Kaifeng, it will block our army's route north. Do we have to defeat the Taiping Army first and then besiege Beijing? This will be too difficult."
Luo Fangbo frowned and said.
Gu Song stared at the map and suddenly asked: "Song Gong, how many guns are there in Liaodong Reclamation now?"
Zhao Si thought for a while and said: "Seven military camps have been established in Liaodong. Each military camp has about 500 strong men and can pull out more than 3,500 guns. In addition, Liaodong has also deployed a horse-mounted infantry brigade and a cannon. Battalion, an engineer battalion with a total strength of five thousand."
In other words, after more than eight months of hard work, the Liaodong Reclamation has transported more than 3,000 men to the Liaodong Peninsula and established 7 military camps.
If the extreme mobilization.
In Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty could pull out eight thousand troops at any time.
This power is enough to sweep away Liaodong. The Qingta General Shengjing Mansion only has 3,000 Eight Banners soldiers. Even if Shengjing Eight Banners mobilizes to the maximum extent and integrates all men over the age of thirteen into the combat order, it will not be enough. It will be more than 20,000.
Eight thousand Ming troops fought against twenty-eight thousand banners.
A sure bet.
"Not enough, this is not enough." Gu Song shook his head and said. He turned to look at Zhu Daohua: "Your Majesty, we don't have time to fight with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Central Plains now. If we want to go to Beijing first, we can only enter the customs from Liaodong!"
Zhu Daohua looked at the map.
He nodded slightly.
"Entry from Liaodong is one way."
Okay.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs once through Shanhaiguan.
Now Daming comes again.
History.
It's a cycle.
"Why not land at Dagokou?" Pan Youdu, the Minister of Revenue, asked with a frown.
To enter the customs from Liaodong, you need to transport the army to Liaodong by ship, and then enter the customs from Liaodong. This journey is much farther than directly finding a place to land in the Bohai Bay.
It’s also more expensive.
"Landing at Dagukou is not feasible." Tao Biquan shook his head and said.
"Small-scale landings have no effect, and large-scale landings are impossible to deceive others. If the army wants to carry out landing operations, the risk is too great. When Meng Yuanyuan's army conquered Japan, it encountered a typhoon and was blown to the bottom of the sea. In July and August It is the typhoon season. If something goes wrong, there is a risk of the entire army capsizing. In addition, the Qing Dynasty cannot be unprepared. They have to risk the enemy's power to land on a large scale. This is also quite risky. Once frustrated, the troops on the ship and on land will be destroyed. If you get cut, that’s dangerous.”
Tao Biquan's words made everyone present nod.
Compared to risking landing at Dagukou.
It was only safe to land safely at Lushunkou, a port that the Ming army had completely controlled.
Isn’t it just walking a few hundred miles more?
It is much safer than taking the risk of landing on the beach.
Once the emperor decided to go to Beijing before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the troops heading to Liaodong would definitely have to prepare a hundred thousand troops.
An army of 100,000 people can be regarded as an army that can overwhelm the country.
Who dares to take risks casually?
Since there is a safe landing base in Liaodong, there is no need to take the risk of landing at Dagukou, Tianjin.
"And there is another advantage to entering the customs from Liaodong, that is... it cuts off the Manchu Qing's retreat." Gu Song said.
"The reclamation situation in Haishengwei is very ideal. Unlike historical records, the summer temperature in Haishengwei is still quite suitable, and the conditions for agricultural production are even better than those in the Central Plains. It is possible that the current temperature is slightly warmer than before. Some..."
Gu Song was not a climatologist, so he certainly didn't know that the East Asian continent had entered a warm and humid period after the Little Glacier.
This is also one of the Manchus' luck.
After they entered the customs, the drought that had lasted for decades in the Central Plains area was alleviated, rainfall began to increase, and the average temperature also began to rise....
"So Liaodong and Liaobei cannot allow these millions of bannermen to go back. If they want to fight to the death in Beijing, then I will destroy their entire clan! If they want to run away, just run to the northwest, run to the grassland superior!"
Zhu Daohua said.
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.
