With David. Will's commentator Zhang Rui realized that the steam engine at this time was not the kind he remembered.

Zhang Rui remembered that the steam engine that could drag the train and drive the first industrial revolution was completed by Watt after 1769. At this time, the steam engine was only used for the purpose of draining water from the minerals.

"Since I didn't have a steam engine yet, I had to do it myself. Fortunately, I used to read books and knew a general structure. Zhang Rui thought in his heart.

But even if it's just a simple steam engine, Zhang Rui still talks to David. Will ordered one and paid a lot of deposit.

At the same time, Zhang Rui also talked to David. Will ordered quite a few books of all kinds in England. For these requests from Zhang Rui, David. Will agreed one by one.

Qianlong twenty-one years, early February

At this time, Fu Heng was rushing south from the Beijing-Hangzhou River.

Since January 25, after Qianlong received an 800-mile expedited from the Hunan and Hubei Governor's Mansion (1) in Wuchang, Qianlong could no longer calmly wait for the auspicious day given by the Qing Officials of the Rite Ancestral Hall.

There is no time to delay in sending troops. So Qianlong named Fu Heng as the general of Pingnan, and hung the seal of the general, which could mobilize all the troops of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Fujian and Liangguang to encircle and suppress the thieves.

After receiving the title, Fu Heng had no choice but to say goodbye to his beautiful Fujin and his son Fukangan, who was only a few months old, and immediately went south.

Originally, sea freight was the fastest option to go south, but considering the danger of wind and waves at sea. Therefore, a group of officials who went south opposed Fu Heng and put himself at risk.

On the way south, one after another urgent military information was sent to Fu Heng.

Looking at these military situations, Fu Heng's heart was very heavy.

"Are you saying these thieves are really that powerful? Judging from this information, where they are besieging the city, it is like going back to their own home. It doesn't take a day to build a city. Now the troops are approaching Wuchang. Fu Heng said after handing the military information he had just received to his staff member Su Yunting.

Su Yunting took over the military intelligence, glanced at it at a glance, and replied after understanding the general situation:

"No, if it weren't for the fact that these were military intelligence, I really wondered if it was fake. Are the Green Battalion already so useless? ”

"I'll not say anything about the Green Battalion's unusability, but they have always said that the key to their defeat is that the anti-thieves' muskets are very powerful. We also have muskets, but those green battalion soldiers don't have them. Fu Heng replied.

"Yes, General. I think this time we will fight against the anti-thieves, and we will have to concentrate firearms to fight against them. Su Yunting suggested.

"You have a point. When I concentrate the troops of the three provinces, I will have to have thousands of muskets, plus the unified shooting of the archers, there will still be a battle. Fu Heng said.

"Exactly, General." Su Yunting clicked the money slingtail on his head and asked in agreement.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the ancestral system, I would definitely have more muskets in the Qing Dynasty than there would be thieves. Where is the need to fear the enemy's musket? Fu Heng's tone was full of disdain, dissatisfied with the continuous defeat of the green battalion soldiers in Hunan.

The general said cautiously. Although the ancestral system is like this, my Qing Dynasty is the country that was beaten down by horseback archery. Su Yunting comforted and said:

"I think the open fire weapon was powerful back then, but it wasn't defeated by my Eight Banners disciples. This is enough to show that firearms are not powerful, and the main problem is that the people below dare not fight. ”

"When these thieves meet the Eight Banners warriors I really dare to fight, it will be time for them to be defeated."

After listening to Su Yunting's words, Fu Heng couldn't help but shout "Okay".

Especially the last sentence of Su Yunting, the key is whether people dare to fight.

When Fu Heng went south this time, Qianlong also deliberately transferred 5,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners Forbidden Army to him. This is also enough to prove that Qianlong attaches great importance to this encirclement and suppression of anti-thieves.

If Qianlong hadn't considered that he would have to mobilize troops to fight the rebel Jungar just now, maybe Qianlong would have given Fu Heng more troops.
