Chapter 471: The Manchu Qing Dynasty Wants to Move the Capital [Ask for Subscription]
The magnificent Forbidden City was once so solemn and untouchable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info because it symbolizes the unshakable imperial power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the supremacy of the whole of China. However, the imperial power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has rapidly faded in the last few years, and the Forbidden City is still the magnificent Forbidden City, but it no longer has the sacred aura of 'inviolability' under the winter sun.
Fading away from the 'myth', fading away from the 'right', this is just a lifeless palace.
Yonghui, who was cheering up, looked at the palace full of princes and ministers at a loss, what should I do? What should he do?
The Fu Han army actually defeated Tianjin!
The imperial court mobilized 100,000 troops before and after, but it couldn't stop the 20,000 people of the Han army? The 100,000 army is not all such a waste as the green camp and the people, there are horse teams, there are training troops, and there are also the Manchu Eight Banners New Army that relies on the Great Wall! "Shu Hede, Yinglian, Fu Sheng, Fuerle, Hailancha, are all waste, waste!"
With a small number of 20,000 Fu Han troops, in the case of poor backup and supply, they even broke through the Manchu Qing infantry cavalry army and captured the important town of Tianjin all the way. No one can feel the horror and sorrow in Yonghui's heart at this moment.
His once ambition has completely dissipated. When he first inherited the unification, Yonghui also had the grand wish to recast the Qing Dynasty for his father. But now, he would rather be a leisurely prince in the past, living cautiously.
In just one month!
Yonghui has never been so deeply aware of a problem as he is now-the world of the Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, and the Great Green Fruit Pill is over!
The weight and premonition of the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan are incomparably clear in Yonghui's heart. Even if he gave himself a nice name - Jiaqing! It's not half an egg. The Fu Han army has already taken Tianjin, so is Beijing still far away?
He is not a three-year-old child who is easy to be fooled by adults, he has his own independent opinions and discernment. The Eight Banners New Army was not defeated, because the weak Fu Han Army did not choose to fight the Eight Banners New Army head-on, but the results of Yang Liuqing's first battle showed that the Eight Banners New Army with the same number could not defeat the Fu Han Army at all. The number of the Fu Han Army far exceeded that of the Eight Banners New Army.
"Your Majesty. The rich monks and Fuerle deserve to die, but the most important thing now is to hold the military grain city and Dagukou. I also hope that the emperor can let the two of them make meritorious contributions and bypass their lives first. Fu Heng returned to Beijing with the news of the fall of Tianjin, and then was immediately recruited into the palace. The top priority at the moment was not to allow Chen Ming to join the naval division of the Fu Han army outside the mouth of Dagu.
"I know how serious things are. Tianjin has been lost, and the military grain city, Dagukou, and Beitang can no longer be lost. "Yonghui is really two hundred and five, and it is impossible to cut off the head of the rich monk and Fuerle right now." I'm worried about the coming year. This year, the cold weather has arrived, and the Jinmen will be frozen in the near future, although Chen is fierce and the thief is fierce, his strength will not be held for a long time, and it will not be a big problem. But in the spring of the coming year, how should Jingshi protect himself?
The rebel king gathered 200,000 troops in Nanjing and the Central Plains, and how could he stop the army from going north in the coming year? β
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a clever plan for me?" Yonghui clenched his right hand into a fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. His eyes were a deep blue-gray, and since he inherited the throne, the new monarch of my Qing Dynasty had not slept a day peacefully. But at this time, he was still full of hope and brilliance, looking at the full house of civil and military ministers.
There was silence. No one spoke, no one spoke, no one spoke, important things were said three times, and the brilliance in Yonghui's eyes faded.
Fu Heng's chest seemed to be holding back a flame, and his chest was about to burst, he had the heart to stand up, but the words in his heart ...... not be able to say it without winning the support of the alliance.
"Your Majesty, Fu Heng asks to see you."
In the Xinyang Palace, which was shrouded in cold air pressure, Yonghui, who was so depressed that the whole person was a little nervous, was trying to restrain his anger, and scolded in his heart that the civil and military ministers in the hall were all big fools who were not as good as pigs, and the personal eunuch quietly walked in to report.
"Slave Fu Heng knocks on the emperor." Cleanly and neatly, Fu Heng didn't talk politely to Yonghui, and went straight to the point, "The slave thinks that the Qing Dynasty should return to Shengjing." "The Huahua world in the Central Plains can't stay, so go back to the Northeast as soon as possible.
"Move the capital?" Yonghui, who was in a depressed mood, was so shocked by Fu Heng's words that he didn't know how to speak.
What is the future of the Qing Dynasty when it moves back to Guanwai? In addition to the hundreds of thousands of serfs in the Northeast now, what other food, clothing, shelter and transportation can be supplied? Once the capital is moved, the million-dollar Beijing flag in Beijing must also be moved back, and it is estimated that the entire Northeast will not be able to supply anything except food. Oh yes, there's also North Korea.
However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had Sichuan, Yunnan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu in the Guannei......
"Before the death of Emperor Daxing, he was crowned Prince Qian, and he could send Prince Qin to Xi'an to preside over the overall situation in the northwest." How could Fu Heng not know what Yonghui was thinking in his heart? He opened his mouth and said. Since the day of Qianlong Bintian, Yongying has been locked in the Old Summer Palace by Yonghui, and it is very nice to say in name, and the commander is in charge of Emperor Daxing. Because Yonghui is already the emperor, although he is very saddened by Qianlong's death, countless national events are waiting for him to make up his mind, and he has to cover up the news of Qianlong's death, so he can only let Yongying come to 'accompany' the coffin.
Yonghui's eyes looked at Fu Heng deeply, and he understood what Fu Heng meant. Sending Yongying to Xi'an, sitting in the northwest, and he took people back to the northeast pass, the Qing Dynasty seemed to be divided into two, but it would also let the Fu Han army press the front to see which side was more threatening to them. And the Northeast is not as good as the Northwest, Shanxi and Shanxi are much richer in manpower and material resources than the Northeast and North Korea, so they will take the Northwest to top the thunder, and then Yonghui They can strive to seek that glimmer of life.
"Your Majesty, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it. Once Tianjin is lost, morale is defeated, and it is difficult for the entire imperial court to have the power to return to heaven. β
The landing of the naval division of the Fu Han army in Yongping Mansion was a wake-up call for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As long as they are willing to spend that time, the Fu Han army will be based on the landing site, hoarding troops little by little, hoarding arms little by little, and they can also build simple wharves on the tidal flats......
If the combat strength of the armies on both sides is equal, then the Qing army does not need to be afraid of the Fu Han army, which is not well supplied. But now countless examples of battles have been positive, and the combat effectiveness of the Fu Han army is not comparable to that of the Qing army, so after the Fu Han army landed, all the 'disadvantages' must be added before a 'relative'.
When the landed Fu Han army accumulated military supplies and troops little by little, and when a large number of Fu Han troops came to Beijing, could the army in Beijing and Tianjin, which was already demoralized, be able to stop it? When the time comes, it will be difficult to leave.
The slave thought about it thousands of times before he dared to dare to say this to the emperor. However, Beijing and Tianjin are in danger, how can the emperor's body of ten thousand gold stand under the dangerous wall? β
"Although our dynasty still has the southwest, northwest, Anhui, Shanxi, Zhili and other places in the Han land in Guannei, the southwest and Anhui have become the turtle in the urn, and the northwest has been contained, Shanxi is insufficient for self-protection, Tianjin has been lost, and the general trend of Zhili has gone."
Fu Heng was very sad, he was not so sad when his eldest son died, but he was not so sad.
The news of the loss of Tianjin was too great a blow to Beijing and the Manchu court, and even Yonghui was afraid of next year, and the rest of the people were even more panicked all day long. Yonghui may not know that just after the news of the loss of Tianjin reached Beijing yesterday, I don't know how many banner people dressed as Han Chinese this morning and merged into the army that left the city. But Fu Heng knows! This is also one of the important reasons for his determination.
"Does the emperor know that since the news of Emperor Daxing's death was revealed by Chen Wei, how many bannermen have disappeared in the capital?"
"Twenty-two thousand. It's just one month, one month. β
Yonghui let Fu Heng say it in his heart, and then he was directly confused by the big news that Fu Heng broke out.
Fu Heng continued, "Does the emperor know how many people the banner soldiers have lost since Chen Wei raised his army? How many people are missing from the nation? β
"Since the beginning of the Jingzhou garrison flag soldiers, Jiangning, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, northern Jiangsu, Changzhou, Huai'an, Henan, to the previous Shandong, now Tianjin, a series of major battles under the flag soldiers have lost 100,000 people. There are no less than 300,000 nations. β
The Manchu Eight Banners in the middle of Qianlong were no longer the hard work of the first time they entered the customs, and the Eight Banners of the early Shunzhi Dynasty compiled and examined the male register, and there were only more than 55,000 Manchurian soldiers, but when Kangxi counted them again in the 60th year, the number of men increased to 150,000. The Mongolian Eight Banners also increased from less than 30,000 at the beginning to more than 60,000, in addition to the Han Army Banner and the Interior Prefecture Baoyi Banner. By the 30th year of Qianlong, the number of Manchu soldiers stationed in Beijing and other provinces had exceeded 200,000, the Han Army Banner and the Five Banners of the Internal Affairs Office had more than 126,000 people, and there were more than 70,000 Mongolian military banners, and the total number of men was no less than 400,000, while the total population of the Eight Banners was more than 2 million.
During this period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also repeatedly asked the people of the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners to raise their flags, otherwise this number would be even higher.
However, of the two million Eight Banners, more than half of them are in Beijing and surrounding areas, and the remaining part of the Northeast, the Mongolian Eight Banners in Chengde and other places, and the Eight Banners stationed in various provinces.
In the time of peace, so many bannermen and bannermen gave Yongzheng and Qianlong two generations of Manchu emperors a headache, because each of these numbers represented a different amount of money and grain, and they were all expenses. Therefore, Yongzheng and Qianlong both made a big deal to let the Han and Mongolian bannermen raise their banners to reduce the financial burden of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But when the Fu Han army rose, Qianlong deeply felt that reliable manpower was insufficient.
There are 200,000 banners in Beijing, and more than 100,000 people in various Beijing banners, but how many layers of these more than 100,000 people are enough to meet the standards of the New Army of the Eighth Banner?
So far, the New Army of the Eight Banners has trained 50,000 people and divided into four towns. However, it also emptied the elite of the Northeast and Chengde, Chifeng, Xuanhua and Chahar. Qianlong couldn't wait to be able to regenerate double or double the number of Eight Banners out of thin air.
Yonghui, like his Lao Tzu's thoughts, now really feels reliable, and there are not enough trustworthy people. But he never cared about the specific numbers, the two huge numbers of 100,000 bannermen and 300,000 bannermen were like two huge hammers, hitting him the top of his head.
"Actually, there are so many?" Yonghui's crotch suddenly became a little wet.
"Your Majesty, when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it. The former Ming Chongzhen also thought about moving the capital, but he failed to insist, and died and the country was destroyed. The emperor thought about it, if Chongzhen had firmly moved the capital to Nanjing, would I still be able to smooth the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs? β
"Outside the gate, that is the retreat left by our ancestors. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the products are rich. It's a little cold, but it's better than losing your head, right? β
"If the emperor prepares early, the money and grain in this Beijing city can be transported to the northeast. The losses suffered by our DPRK will also be minimized. Otherwise, Chen Rei's army will press the border, and when the time comes...... "Only a small number of princes, ministers and troops will be able to leave." Just like Emperor Yuan Shun back then! "The slave implores the emperor to think twice."

The declining Manchu Qing could never achieve complete secrecy.
Although Fu Heng and Yonghui Junchen 'played right', there was no one around to serve, but Yonghui himself was not a very calm master, he took the initiative to tell his personal eunuch about it, and then asked what this eunuch meant, and the news spread like this. After Fu Heng left the Forbidden City, he also began to contact the alliance frequently, and many of the princes and ministers he visited agreed at the beginning, some people wanted to consider, and some people firmly opposed, and scolded Fu Heng for having the grace of the emperor and being a traitor to the country. Then the news spread outside the palace as well.
From top to bottom, from the inner city to the outer city, there are no two days in total. Even the Han people heard the rumors, and Yu Zecheng also received a secret report here.
If the Manchu Qing Dynasty 'moved the capital' outside the pass this winter, it would not be easy for the Han army to seize Beijing in the coming year? "This news must be reported to the prince immediately!"
"Tell the secret line, lurk with peace of mind, and keep a close eye on this matter. If it is not a major breakthrough, do not contact the upline easily. "The more critical the moment, the more cautious you must be, Yu Zecheng's years of experience allow him to maintain a calm brain after receiving such a major good news.
"Tell everyone that victory is at hand!"
β¦β¦
There was such a big news in Beijing, how could no one vote the news to Hailancha. The rapid loss of Tianjin made Hailancha heartbroken, and also made him hold his breath to teach the Fu Han army a big lesson.
He took the main force not to go to the city of Tianjin to confront the Fu Han army, but concentrated his forces to storm Caozhuang.
He just wants to force the Fu Han army to take the initiative to go out of the city!
However, the Qing army suddenly withdrew......
Chen Ming was also at a loss, this battle was what he liked to see, so he was ready to understand 'this wish', and then he had no worries, and he could move according to the situation. Who knew that the menacing Hailancha suddenly withered.
And Chen Ming saw that the morale of the Qing army had not changed much.
"Damn, it's too much of a grandson." Lu Long looked at the retreating Qing army and scolded, his head was wrapped like a San, he was on crutches, and he also had a wooden plank on his legs. was beaten by Hailancha with all his strength for a day and night, and the regiment under Lu Long suffered great losses.
Forty percent of the 2,000 casualties in the regiment, including 300 killed in battle, and the remaining wounded will die one after another in the days to come. Although the price paid by the Qing army was greater. More than 30 officers at all levels were killed, and more than 70 percent of the officers above the battalion level were killed or wounded, wrapping Lu Long, the deputy division commander.

Shanghai. Wusongkou. A flotilla carrying the flag of the Nanyang Naval Division slowly sailed into the harbor. Batteries are welcome!
However, this fleet obviously had no intention of stopping in Wusong for a long time, and the military wharf specially opened up by Wusong Port had already prepared fresh melons, fruits, vegetables, meat, and drinking water, and was hoisted onto the deck of the ship by cranes.
In a small three-story European-style building rising from the ground not far away, Perrier, who had returned to Shanghai from the Fu Han army, was holding a telescope and looking at it. Beside him stood Gremio Claude Pierre, France's commercial representative in China.
"This is already the third batch of troops this month." Both of them looked quite excited, because it seemed to them that Chen Han would soon be able to rule the whole of China, and then the French merchant ships would not only be able to dock in Shanghai, but also the vast coastline north of the Yangtze River would also leave their footprints.
As far as the news from the north is concerned, Jiaozhou and Yantai in Shandong, China, are very good deep-water ports, as well as Tianjin, and even more southern Liaoning. The Fu Han army summoned eight European merchant ships, most of which were British, but two were from France.
"China's vast market is slowly opening its doors. France could not afford to fall behind England. I think we should propose to Paris that the government and companies come together to organize a group of scholars and technicians to come to China. β
Perrières felt a hatred that had never been felt before, as the Seven Years' War had withdrawn France from the Indian continent, and the only five towns had become French strongholds for collusion with China, while the British were able to use their colonies in India as a commercial hub for bilateral contacts. Even their premium cotton from India has risen rapidly this year to the top spot in terms of the volume of all commodities sold from the West to China. Perrier's eyes were red with hatred!
