Whoosh!
An arrow shot out.
A homing pigeon piercing the sky.
in this era.
Carrier pigeons are the fastest means of long-distance communication.
A homing pigeon can carry messages across thousands of kilometers.
Of course.
The security and stability of this communication method are difficult to guarantee.
After all, during the flight of thousands of kilometers.
Hunters and birds of prey are threats to homing pigeons.
But this is not impossible to solve.
That is to release more homing pigeons.
The homing pigeon falls from the sky.
A lean man quickly rushed forward, grabbed the pigeon in his hand, and took out the letterhead carried by the carrier pigeon.
"It's really for the British!"
"What's the message?"
"The Ming Expeditionary Force boarded the ship, and thirty-six warships from the Indian Ocean Fleet came out."
"Have you found any turtles?"
"It's not on the letterhead! Do we need to destroy this den?"
"It's more useful if you keep it!"
After a brief conversation between the two Jin Yiwei, their figures disappeared into the darkness.
at the same time.
On the vast ocean more than two hundred miles away from the Strait of Malacca.
Twelve Wei-class iron-clad ships sailed quietly under the tug of twelve three-masted Dafu ships.
Twelve Wei-class ironclad ships set off from the secret port.
Codename: Turtle!
.........
India.
Calcutta.
The warm sunshine shines on this center of British India,
The Hooghly River, a tributary of the Ganges, the mother river of Indian civilization, runs through this city.
Thanks to the warm and humid climate of South Asia.
The runoff of the Hooghly River is very large and the shipping system is very developed.
On both sides of the sparkling river, there are various handicraft factories everywhere.
The Ganges River Basin gave birth to a developed agricultural civilization.
This is the birthplace of the four original ancient civilizations of mankind, but now it has become a site of invasion by major powers. Exit the transcoding page, please download the app Aiyue to read the latest chapter.
No one knows what the ancient Indian civilization really looked like.
The indigenous people who created this splendid ancient civilization, most of the Dravidians in India belong to lower castes or even "untouchables".
And later rulers.
Including Aryans, Persians, Turks, and Mongols, they are all high-caste rulers of India today.
So sometimes you can even tell the caste level from the skin color - in India, the darker the skin, the higher the probability of being a lower caste, and conversely, the whiter the skin color, the more likely it is a high caste .
The British at the Governor's House in Calcutta at this time.
According to the Indian standard of white, noble and black.
He should also belong to...a high caste, right?
It's just that the colonists who came to India now are different from the invaders who invaded India in history.
They do not seek to directly rule India and be the masters of the Indian people.
It's about seeking wealth.
They did not send any officials, but used Indian compradors to rule as much as possible.
At this time in the Governor's House in Calcutta.
Richard Wellesley, the new Governor-General of India who had just taken office, received news that shocked the British in India, including him, to the point where cold sweat broke out on their backs.
The Ming Empire dispatched an army of 70,000 people, preparing to land in India!
The first batch of 10,000 troops rode on more than 170 large sailing ships, escorted by the Ming Empire's Indian Ocean Fleet, and headed straight for India!
The friction between the two sides caused by the cotton market has now rapidly expanded into a full-scale confrontation between the two sides in the South Asian subcontinent.
Even when coming to India.
Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. and his cabinet had already envisioned this scenario.
But when the Ming Empire really decided to occupy India by force.
Richard Wellesley also seemed a little in a hurry.
Confronting such a large empire in the South Asian subcontinent.
Britain had no advantage at all.
This is especially true if the Chinese are allowed to have a solid territory in the South Asian subcontinent.
It’s not just the relative strength of the two sides—it’s the distance.
Europe is too far.
And Ming Dynasty is too close.
"We need to be ready to fight the Chinese on land!"
said Arthur Wellesley, commander of the 73rd Mountain Division.
By this time.
The younger brother of the Governor-General of India, who was regarded as an aristocratic playboy, seemed more calm.
"We now have two divisions of 18,000 troops, which is an unprecedented garrison strength in India. In addition, we can summon 3,000 Gurkha cavalry, 7,000 Punjab cavalry, 6,000 Sikh cavalry, 10,000 There are Bengal light cavalry and 30,000 Bengal infantry, with a total strength of more than 74,000. In addition, we can recruit Indian mercenaries to join the war! We don’t need to be afraid of the Chinese on land."
Arthur Wellesley said.
"Why do we need a land war?" Nelson shook his head and said, "With such a huge fleet expedition, just annihilate them at sea!"
"Are you sure?" Richard asked.
"If the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet only has thirty-six main bombardment gunboats, then we are absolutely sure to defeat them!"
Vice Admiral Nelson said confidently.
"The Chinese have already dispatched, and our warships should also leave the harbor!"
Nelson stood up.
"This is a maritime war in a new era. Victory in this war will once again establish the British Empire's maritime hegemony around the world!"
"If we win, then the Ming Emperor will have to accept the treaty we want them to sign."
"What if we lose?" Arthur Wellesley asked.
Nelson glanced at Arthur Wellesley and frowned.
...........
In the Indian Ocean, two huge fleets were heading towards each other.
at the same time.
In the early morning, it was just dawn.
An army of thousands of people rolled towards the north.
This is the marching column of the Third Army of the Liaodong Theater of the Ming Dynasty Army.
The target is Haicheng, located on the banks of the Shah River.
Haicheng is just south of Liaoyang. Once outside Haicheng, the Ming army will be able to reach Liaoyang, the important town of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty. Once outside Liaoyang, Fengtian City will be on the lips of the Ming army.
at this time.
A ride came from the south.
The knight on the horse is very young.
He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
But he already carries the rank of captain on his shoulders.
He rode horses all the way south.
The infantry formations along the road were on both sides of the road, and in the middle were the artillery pulled by draft horses, and the mounted infantry who dismounted and walked, leading the horses forward.
One army, three brigades, fifteen thousand men.
It consists of infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage troops and other arms.
This army is newly formed.
An army brigade from the south was organized into the sea. In addition, the garrison of the Liaodong Reclamation Division was organized into a brigade. In addition, a brigade was also transferred from the Liaodong Army Station.
Before the fleet of the Emperor of Heaven arrived at Lushunkou, the order and an army brigade that arrived in advance had already arrived in Gaizhou City.
Peng Jun, the general manager of the Liaodong Reclamation Department, was appointed as the chief military officer of the third front army.
Peng Jun was originally a civilian, but after he was transferred to the general manager of the Liaodong Reclamation Department, he had to manage both the reclamation and the military.
Now he has also been transferred to the military position and given the rank of major general. He is now leading the troops to Haicheng to formulate a posture of marching into Liaoyang, forcing the Qing Tartar General Shengjing Lin Ning not to dare to act rashly.
Create a safer environment for the army to land.
Peng Zhuangyuan in history is now riding a Mongolian horse.
Heng Chi Heng Chi acted with the army.
From a scholar with outstanding literary talent, he became a martial artist.
Peng Jun didn't have any complaints.
Because this Liaodong Reclamation Division is a place where we can really do our jobs.
Moreover, he was transferred from a civilian official to a military official.
Yun Wen Yun Wu.
Wait until the battle in Liaodong is over.
Regardless of qualifications or ability, the chief official of this land in Liaodong and North Liaoning should be his own.
Liaodong and Liaobei are such a large territory, with a small population and fertile land.
It is definitely impossible to divide it as thinly as in Han Dynasty.
An official must be arranged to take charge of the immigration and reclamation. At the same time, he must have certain military capabilities to fight against the remnants of Tsarist Russia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
All things considered.
Only you are suitable.
Maybe when this battle is over.
He is the governor of Ming Dynasty and Liao Dynasty.
Be the governor of Liao for a few years.
The future of directly entering the central government and becoming prime minister is just around the corner.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no rule prohibiting military officials from serving as prime minister.
Moreover, his military position is only in name only, for the convenience of commanding the third front army.
In essence, he is still a civil servant.
In addition, Peng Jun is from Hunan - he knows very well that no matter how much the emperor trusts the Guangdong Party, he is also the emperor, and he has a desire to strike a balance.
Now the left and right prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all from the Cantonese Party.
This is because officials from other provinces do not yet have the qualifications to step up.
And now it seems.
The emperor had plans to support the Hunan Party in joining the Central Committee.
Therefore, in the past two years, Peng Jun and Ouyang Houjun can be said to have made rapid progress.
Now Ouyang Houjun has gone to Borneo to serve as governor of Lanfang, and is steadily advancing the process of occupying all of Borneo.
And he came to Liaodong.
Compared to Borneo.
Liaodong is a good place to make achievements!
The first prime minister of the Hunan Party must be himself!
"Report! We have discovered the Qing Tatar's earthen fortress, which is home to more than 1,300 people. It looks like it is a garrison composed of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners and the Han Army!"
The young captain who came on horseback said loudly.
"Send the order, the army rests where it is, and the 33rd Brigade will pull out this earthen bunker!"
Peng Jun ordered.
Camp step by step, all the way to the north.
As long as nothing goes wrong.
Even if General Shengjing's Mansion sends all the Eight Banners soldiers, they can't do anything to the third front army under their command.
This Liao land is too vast.
Starting from Gaizhou, we have walked hundreds of miles.
It was actually deserted.
Such a good land was left in such a state of neglect. The biggest benefit to the Qing Tatars was to hunt for some furs and dig some wild ginseng by hunting animals.
What a sin.
"Follow the order!"
The captain quickly raised his hand and saluted.
Riding on horseback.
Looking at the back of the young captain.
Chen Jianhui, commander of the 11th Army Brigade beside Peng Jun, smiled and said: "How?"
"That's right, follow the rules and regulations, and don't be arrogant or impetuous."
Peng Jun nodded and said.
"This is the future Duke of Lan. Someone from above has told me to try not to let him go to dangerous areas."
Peng Jun nodded.
The young captain is the heir of Luo Fangbo, Duke of Lan. Since Luo Fangbo has no descendants, he can only find a son of the Luo family with the closest blood relationship from the Luo family in Jiaying Prefecture as his heir to inherit his title of Duke of Lan. ——Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke if the sacrifices of Duke Lan Guogong, who had retired from the Ming Dynasty, were cut off?
In the eyes of others, Luo Jinyue, the youngest son of Lan Guogong, who has accumulated virtues for many lifetimes and has reached the pinnacle of luck, was awarded the rank of captain after graduating from the Ming Dynasty Army Military Academy with excellent results, and now he has volunteered for military service. To be transferred to the most dangerous Liaodong battlefield to fight.
In the eyes of many people, this is probably because their brains have been caught in the door.
If you don't do anything good, please come and be the leader...
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.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. The website will be closed soon. Download the Star Reading app to provide you with Qianlong: Qing Dynasty by Mr. Mu Mu Mu Ah? Where is my Qing Dynasty?
