Chapter 444: Hongli, Hongli

[Thanks to the 1000 coin reward of 'Tomato Love Banana']

Old Summer Palace, Jiuzhou Qingyan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qianlong sat silently, and there was a dead silence in the palace. The kang table in his hand was full of folds from all over the place, and Qianlong was now holding a fold in his hand in a daze, but he was violently exuding a violent anger all over his body. Therefore, all the eunuchs and palace maids below Wu Shulai looked at their noses, noses, mouths, and hearts, and were silent, wishing that they did not exist at this time. Until Qianlong's thin body seemed to be unable to support his head, and he hung down deeply.

Wu Shulai breathed a sigh of relief and the alarm was lifted. "Take Dan to ......" Qianlong's voice seemed to follow the three words floating out of the clouds, indefinite, weak and faint.

The Fu Han army captured Guiyang. Xu Chenglin, the governor of Guangxi who fled from Guangxi to Guizhou, led his army to surrender, and the governors of Guizhou, Bai Ling'a, Ben Jinzhong, etc., were defeated and retreated to Zunyi.

Qianlong is now unwilling to admit defeat, and the Manchus have fallen into an absolute disadvantage in the battle of infantry, but the horse team that they occupy an absolute numerical advantage is still the last backbone of Qianlong. Therefore, Qianlong is now like the Manchu Qing who is still holding his breath, not admitting defeat and not admitting defeat. They still have the capital in their hands!

But Qianlong also has a shadow in his heart, and that shadow no longer tells him all the time - his peaceful and prosperous times, his Manchu Empire, will be in vain.

Now that the Fu Han army has conquered Guiyang, the news of Xu Chenglin's surrender has come, which makes Qianlong feel hatred in his heart.

The people of the southern kingdom were jubilant, but the Forbidden City was silent like a mourning hall. The Queen Mother, who has always been peaceful like a Buddha, couldn't sit still, and she had killed two eunuchs for no reason, and she didn't look at the drama anymore, and she didn't walk anymore, but she was holding back in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, and even Wei Jia's family didn't dare to go over to get involved.

The ministers of the DPRK and China also didn't have any ideas, and they were all like wooden people.

Fu Heng and Liu Tongxun, who were most relied on by Qianlong, were also speechless, the latter proposed that the Manchus destroy Korea during the Manchu money and grain crisis, and use the flesh and blood of North Korea to make up for the emptiness of the imperial court, which really gave the Manchus a shot of chicken blood and greatly relieved the financial pressure of the Manchus.

- Not money and grain copied from the Korean treasury, but from the homes and estates of the ministers of the two classes, from the homes of famous doctors and scholars.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Korean slaves were escorted to the northeast to clear up the wasteland, and what they gained was also of great benefit to the current Manchu Qing Dynasty. But now Liu Tongxun has nothing to do, that is, the army can't beat others, what can he do? And Liu Tongxun's health is not good, he looks like he is about to die. In fact, Qianlong's true complexion was also very embarrassing. And the performance of his sons disappointed him even more.

Suddenly there was a little sound outside the hall, Wu Shulai suddenly stirred, and stared out with a fire-breathing gaze, which rabbit cub is it? Like killing him? As a result, Wu Shulai saw a familiar face, Li Laifu, who was also on an errand in front of Qianlong, was signaling to him with a happy face at this time.

Wu Shulai went to see Qianlong again, but there was no action. Then he quietly retreated to the outside of the temple.

"Grandpa Wu, look at this. North Korea just 600 miles of urgent delivery of good news, Fu Sanye broke the North Korean rebel army in Chungju! "That's what they need most right now, good news. It is still a good news of Fukangan, which is very favored by Qianlong.

Wu Shulai's face immediately surged red, this alarm can really be contacted, and the entire palace and the entire Beijing city can have a good time.

"Good, good. Grandpa doesn't take the credit of your kid, wait, I'll go and report to the master......" The happy Wu Shulai patted Li Laifu on the shoulder. A good thing, a great thing.

"Hahaha......, good, good. Fukangan lives up to my hopes, lives up to my hopes. ”

Qianlong, who was like a dried corpse, laughed heartily after reading the excerpt sent by North Korea. Well, the three or four thousand Qing troops who were defeated and retreated to Chungju by the Governor of Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do in Chungcheong-do, plus the 2,000 Qing soldiers under him, and more than 10,000 pieces of Korean troops, less than 50,000 or 60,000 Korean rebels who were fighting against the resurgence in Chungju, were greatly defeated, and nearly 30,000 or 30,000 Korean rebels were killed and captured.

"After this war, the morale of the Korean rebels will be completely lost, and Chen will patrol the coast, so there is nothing to worry about." The land combat strength of the naval division of the Fu Han Army is too small and too few, so what can they do without the cooperation of the Koreans? Qianlong's heart really swelled with a stir. Daqing is still saved, and his vision is not wrong.

Fukangan, live up to my hopes, really live up to my hopes.

The Korean rebels who had just gained momentum with the Fu Han army smashing Hongzhou, Jeonju, Naju and other places should have no morale now, right? Although Eun Yanjun Li Hui, Trilling-Jun Li Zhen and Eun Quanjun Li Yu, none of the direct bloodlines of the three Korean royal families died.

Qianlong, who was laughing heartily, quickly calmed down in his heart, because the trouble in North Korea was just a disease of ringworm for the Manchus, and the main trouble was Chen Han. The Korean rebels were defeated, and they only killed one of Chen Han's dogs, and there was no harm to Chen Han himself. What is there to be happy about? He can rest assured that North Korea, but is the gains and losses of North Korea really important to the Manchus? The Manchus wanted money and grain from Korea, not land. Even if South Korea is lost, as long as the Qing Dynasty is willing, Qianlong can sweep the four southern provinces of Korea at any time. But Qianlong continued to laugh.

He doesn't have much ambition for North Korea to 'expand its territory' at present. The pressure on him from the Fu Han Army was too great, and he had no intention of running North Korea. Therefore, North Korea's good news is just 'icing on the cake', and it can't solve the sorrow in his heart at all.

But no matter how much sorrow he has in his heart, as the emperor, he still has to show confidence. You can't always have a bitter face and let the ministers get discouraged when they look at it, right? I can't always show anger and eagerness, as if the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed in the next moment.

The war in the southwest was quite unfavorable, and the elite Qing soldiers in Sichuan and Yunnan suffered too many losses in Guizhou, and the two armies frequently fought each other in Guizhou and fought for more than a year, and the Qing troops who were killed and wounded were not only Guizhou and Guizhou soldiers, but also a large number of elites from Sichuan and Yunnan. And now there are chaos in Sichuan from time to time, and even those toasts have become dishonest.

Then there are Shandong and Liaodong, and the sailors of the Fu Han army are becoming more and more rampant. After landing on the shore, he destroyed the government and searched for the rich households, in addition to showing mercy to the people, his behavior was completely comparable to that of the Japanese robbers.

Finally, in the northwest, the confrontation between the old and new factions of the green and green factions is becoming more and more serious, and the Gansu Green Battalion, whose main combat power has been transferred, although it still maintains a certain level of combat power, is no longer enough to suppress the whole province. Because the greens were making trouble, the local Han people also gathered in the village to train their troops, and there were also homeless people, and then there was the Yuandun Sect......

The White Lotus Sect is a great scourge.

The bandits in Shandong had just been suppressed, and in April, Fan Mingde, one of the chieftains of the Mixed Yuan Sect and the Bandits, was severely damaged in Cao County, and the Qingshui Sect bandits were also attacked and killed by local soldiers after leaving the Tai'an Mountains, which greatly dampened the morale of the bandits. However, in the northwest of the Yuandun Sect, Qianlong reported that the leader of the Yuandun Sect had only been preaching in Hezhou for only three or two years, but it had not been able to settle down so far, but on the contrary, it had become more and more arrogant, adding another fire to the chaos in the northwest. Qianlong hated it very much!

So just to encourage, just to inspire, now Emperor Qianlong's laughter is a shot in the arm for the entire Manchu Dynasty and the opposition.

Of course, Qianlong hasn't forgotten that Chen Ming hasn't made a move yet. The large army of the Fu Han army has been silent for a year, and the south is his real enemy. If Chen Ming doesn't move, it's enough, and if he moves, it's bound to be shocked! Qianlong people live in the Old Summer Palace 'Jiuzhou Qingyan', but there is really no way to clear the river in this world.

"Spread the word." The new Minister at the Sticky Pole. Qianlong has something to say to the leader at the sticky pole.

The letter sent from the sticky pole before showed that Chen Ming could not lead his troops to fight recently, because he was preparing for Chen Rei's relocation of the capital, and was now inspecting the big ship in Shanghai, and would soon return to Nanjing with the big ship, and after converging the thousands of large and small ships there, he would sail to Wuhan.

"I would be happy that the traitor's doppelganger lacks skills, Hongli, Hongli, are you really old?" Qianlong looked at his thin hands that had become hemp sticks, people are indeed old, but as long as the heart is not old!

Wu Shulai didn't know what was going on, as soon as he heard Qianlong's will, he felt that a wave of anger suddenly erupted from the master above, but this anger was fleeting, so fast that Wu Shulai thought it was his own delusion. But that can't be an illusion, Wu Shu has been serving Qianlong all his life, how can he be wrong on this point?

Wu Shulai lowered his head deeply, he couldn't get in the way of this, he couldn't get in the way.

……

The sand and gravel rolled up by the strong wind hit Dong Wei's face, and the heaven and earth under the west wind howling and pressing were chaotic! Thousands of Yuan Dun Sect horse team lurked in the col at Dong Wei's feet, and Dong Wei stood on the tip of the mountain.

On a windy day, it is difficult to breathe in the wind. He would never come out and blow the wind if necessary. Although Gansu is not cold in May, the temperature during the day is enough for people to wear single clothes, and at night when the temperature drops, at most wear it again.

But Dong Wei is not used to this wind and sand, his mouth, nose and ears are full of sand all day long, it is not that he shaved his head, and combing his hair at night is 'scraping'. This is the northwest wilderness of Weiyuan County, which is in the middle of a mountain. There is Bird and Mouse Mountain in the south here, which is the source of the Wei River, otherwise how can the county next to it be called Weiyuan? There are eighteen plates in the north, it is the danger of nature, there are 20 large and small rivers, the mountain is close, and the danger is extreme.

Further west is Didao Prefecture, which is the south gate of Lanzhou and the important town of Longyou.

If he didn't know that a batch of musket ammunition would go through Gongchang Mansion in the near future and then send it to Lanzhou, Dong Wei would have found abuse by himself and led the team to come here to suffer? For three or two days in this weather, the snot was jet black.

You must know how much work was wasted in order to let his horse team of thousands of people infiltrate from the west of Taoshui unconsciously. Once this deal is made, the Manchu Qing will definitely be able to find out what is wrong by following the clues. Therefore, for this ambush war, the dark camp in the northwest directly exposed three 'points', and then the network implicated by these three 'points', the sacrifice of the dark camp is not small.

And the news that firearms were to be transported to Lanzhou was also found in the secret camp. The batch of guns and ammunition transported by the Qing army was marked by grain, and it was a very small batch of grain.

Wang Fulin summoned his subordinates from all walks of life, dispatched elites, and jointly organized the current elite. In fact, it is a little more daring to fight and kill than others.

Atto loves to play horses and walk at the front of the line. As if he didn't feel the flying grit, he shouted loudly as the team moved forward. He was a general under Wu Dashan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and was specially selected by Wu Dashan to take on important responsibilities.

More than fifty wagons were loaded with a thousand flintlock pistols, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.

"Not far in front is the Dongyu River, and after crossing the Dongyu River, you will reach Didao. There will be no mountains and no water on the road ahead, tell the brothers that Lanzhou is ahead. When we arrived in Lanzhou, the hot fat mutton, the strong wine, and the reward of the white flowers were waiting for us in front of us - "The Dongyu River and the Wei River come out of the same bird and mouse mountain, but one is to the east and the other is to the west." As for why it is called Dongyu River that flows westward, it is not known to Dong Wei, a foreigner.

The atrophied spirit of the Qing soldiers was violently invigorated. Yes, Weiyuan has passed, and even if they enter Lanzhou when they arrive at Didao, their hardships along the way have finally come to an end.

Everyone knows that Didao is the southern gate of Lanzhou, and if you go two hundred miles to the northwest, you will reach Lanzhou. Their mission is accomplished. I don't know how many times Atoi has instilled this bit of geographical knowledge in their ears these days.

In a tent in the valley, Dong Wei quietly stared at the teapot on the fire, and seemed to see a blooming flower from it.

It's close, it's close!

A quarter of an hour later, a scout in a gray cloak approached Dong Wei. "Commander, the Qing soldiers have already crossed the Dongyu River."

Dong Wei drank all the hot tea in his hand, stood up and said to the herald, "Order the horse team to prepare." Tell everyone to prepare for battle-"Everything is just as they planned, the secret camp used connections to send their horse team to Weiyuan unconsciously, and Dong Wei took the team to hide in Bird and Mouse Mountain. It was also a beautiful day, and the strong winds of the days blew the traces left by the movement of the horse team to the point that there was no trace left, and now the prey had walked into the trap without noticing.

The Qing army, together with Minzhuang, was actually a Qing army, with a total of only about 500 people. Dong Wei has a team of 1,000 horses under his command, how can there be a reason why he can't eat it? It's been three days since the net was opened, and now the prey has appeared.

After crossing the river, the Qing army was even more dispersed. Because the bridge is narrow?

If there were dense forests or suitable hidden hills on the left and right of that bridge, Dong Wei would have ambushed his troops somewhere, instead of placing them completely on the west side of the Dongyu River now.

Half an hour later, a small black dot appeared in Dong Wei's telescope, and then the small black dot expanded rapidly, and finally turned into a black and thick marching line.

As the commander of the infantry unit, Dong Wei stared at the tail of this marching line, and at the same time estimated the length of this Qing army's transport force in his heart. They were a little careless, and the team formed a long snake.

"About five hundred, indeed!" Dong Wei admired the ability of the secret camp in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of relationship the secret camp in Shaanxi had hooked up, and the information he got was absolutely accurate.

A long snake emerges from its hole. The Dongyu River is the mouth of the cave.

When the tail of the long snake completely fell into the ambush circle, "hit-" Dong Wei drank and flapped the handcuff in his hand towards the sky.

The crisp sound of gunfire crackled like fried beans, and few of the Qing soldiers were killed, but they were frightened, like horses in a convoy.

The only two small earthen cannons of the "Boom ......" immediately followed suit. It scared the horses in the ranks of the Qing army even more chaotically.

The Qing army transport team, which was stunned by the sudden blow, had not yet come to its senses, and the sound of horses' hooves had already sounded in the oblique place. The thousands of cavalrymen who had been prepared in the valley threw away their overfired shotguns and shouted for joy and brandished their sabers.

Ato's whole body froze. How can it be? How could the message leak out?

"Who leaked the news to the rebels?" Doubts followed by fear, like a pair of iron hands, clenched Ato's heart tightly. He can't kick it when he squeezes it! Such a large horse team, with muskets and earth cannons, such a team is definitely not improvised, let alone accidentally bumped into by them, this is a real ambush.

"Bang-"

A small hole of blood appeared from the area of Atoai's heart, and blood flowed from the hole. His eyes bulged outward, and this general under Wu Dashan was planted from the horse without saying a word, and lost his life.

Two hundred meters away, in a clay kang that couldn't be seen from a distance, there was a sniper dyed with earth, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

His whole body is gray, even the barrel of the gun is gray. It was very difficult for the Fu Han army to send one of the snipers to the northwest with guns.

After a month's long journey, the Qing army was already physically and mentally exhausted, and the defeat of this army was decided when it encountered this obvious ambush. Ato's death added insult to injury, extinguishing the last shred of hope that the force could escape.

In two or three quarters of an hour, a whole convoy was eaten cleanly by Dong Weiquan.

"Command, look—"

A brand-new flintlock pistol was handed to Dong Wei. "I'm afraid this is a new product just made by the Tartars in Xi'an's War Bureau." (To be continued.) )
