Twenty zhang, a distance of nearly seventy meters. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the eyes of the veterans of the Qing army five years ago and the current 'elite' of North Korea, this distance is not an appropriate distance to shoot. Because it's too far away, you can't hit it, not to mention, and if you hit it by luck, you may not be able to kill people.

During the Qianlong period, the DPRK had loose armaments, and the country had been at peace for a long time, and the muskets in the hands of the Korean soldiers were like the bird guns in the hands of the Manchu Qing Green Battalion, with poor quality and accuracy, and due to the weak gas leakage and gunpowder explosiveness, the range and power were far from reaching the normal level that the musket should have.

In a word, they are all inferior products. Twenty zhang away, it's winter again, not a thinly clothed summer. How can you kill someone at once?

Of course, if they were the defenders, it would not be unusual for them to shoot from 200 meters away.

The poor performance of the arquebus and its own poor quality, the effect of one plus one is far greater than two.

Moreover, whether it was the Qing army at the beginning, or the Korean soldiers who were beaten and beaten by the Qing army now, the musketeers rarely paid attention to the range of fire during training, but the Fu Han army did a good job from the beginning.

Thirty zhang, twenty-five zhang, twenty zhang......

"Bang bang-" The neat gunfire was released instantly, and the sound was deafening.

"Grenades—" Fukangan immediately shouted, and a group of grenadiers jumped out, not many, only thirty or forty, but the first column of Qing troops behind this group of professional grenadiers was a hundred people. A hundred grenades were then thrown, even if only half of these fire-pulling grenades exploded? It also immediately blocked the momentum of the North Korean soldiers who were attacking.

"Bang ......"

When the vanguard of the Korean soldiers had no intention of calming down from the chaos, the Qing army's muskets had already been filled. First the second row, then the third row, then the fourth row, the fifth row, and then the first row......

The screams, cries, and heart-rending howls of pain instantly resounded in front of the battle.

The North Korean soldiers were taken by surprise, and one by one the soldiers with spears and knives fell to the ground dead or wounded. However, this did not arouse the slightest sympathy of Fukangan, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the entire battlefield, and after five neat platoon attacks, it was a little difficult to see the shadow of the opposite side.

"Kill—"

In the flash of the grenade explosion, hundreds of soldiers of the New Army of the Eight Banners rushed forward with bayonets and screaming, Fukangan did not move, but his personal guards used half of them.

The North Korean soldiers were as soft as a piece of tofu. The former army, which was scattered by muskets and grenades, was a piece of tender tofu.

The charge of the Eight Banners New Army soon turned into a pursuit, and the front army of the Korean soldiers, who had fled in the desert, crashed into their rear army

"Death—" With a fierce shout, both heads flew into the sky at the same time. He Lin did not use a bayonet, preferring a steel knife to a bayonet. A cold light swept through the neck of a panicked North Korean soldier, and blood splattered on Helin's small body.

There are no bluff shouts, and no superfluous and cumbersome tricks. With only a simple word 'stab', the Qing army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, killed more powerful Korean soldiers, and retreated step by step, abandoning their armor.

"Brothers, kill me with me!" The steel knife drank blood, and the fierceness in Lin's chest was even stronger, and he rushed into a group of Korean soldiers, shaking in the cold light, wiping blood and killing his life.

Relying on his good martial arts skills, and also relying on the cotton armor he wears, the age difference with Fukangan seems to be the first in the way with Lin.

"Good. He Lin is really brave. Fukangan clapped his hands behind him. is also not very old, and he attaches great importance to He Lin, a young player of his age.

And the battle has come to this point, and the New Army of the Eight Banners has won this battle. Hugh saw that their battalion fought more with less, and after the battle, looking at the number of almost casualties, the whole army could not kill or wound a few people.

The hand-to-hand combat lasted only two quarters of an hour, and the mountains were full of fleeing Korean soldiers.

In the face of the Qing army's attack, Korea was neither militarily nor psychologically prepared. From the moment Hailancha sent troops, North Korea had already lost.

Seventy-seven-year-old Li Yu was so frightened that he was bedridden. Fortunately, the grandson of the king of North Korea, Li Zheng, is already nineteen years old. At this time, nineteen-year-old Li Qi was already an absolute adult. And he began to get involved in politics at the age of fourteen.

The whole of Seoul was terrified and inexplicable by the sudden war. They don't know why the Manchus beat them?

Nineteen-year-old Li Zheng was far from being able to suppress the courtiers, and his only measure was to gather troops and concentrate the troops from the south in Seoul, and Korea, which had not heard of a war for a hundred years, was stunned by the sudden blow.

……

From Guangzhou to Changsha, Chen Han's north-south 'depth' has already passed halfway.

Robert, Perrier, Rotony and others who accompanied Chen Ming to the north did not dislike Chen Ming at all on the way to stop the procession frequently, and they wished that Chen Ming would stay in every place for a month or two. So that they can get to know China better!

Robert does not need to be like David Osmant, who only stares at the Chinese army and city walls, he does not care whether China's military forces are strong or weak, he cares about China's economic level, just as the Jesuits are preoccupied with caring about the folk customs of various parts of China. Although soon Robert, Perrier, Rotony and others relaxed their observation interface to the current spiritual outlook and living standards of Chinese.

The four letters he has sent back to India are aimed at the changes that are taking place in China. Although the Han army only captured a third of China, this third of China is the most prosperous place in China's economy, and if China really opens its doors to the outside world, Britain must not miss it. Something has to be done even if it loses money. It was a huge market, comparable to the whole of Europe, and the East India Company only needed to take a percentage point or two of it, and all the investment would be quickly returned.

Now, all companies need to do is cultivate the market! Let more Chinese people become familiar with British goods, rather than focusing on tea and raw silk porcelain.

From Guangzhou to Changsha, the living standards of the Chinese people are of course declining along the way, but according to Robert's observations, although most of China's urban residents are not very wealthy, they still have a certain guarantee of food and clothing.

Robert's private diary records everything he saw during this trip. From the food, drink, clothing, and life of the people, to the folk customs and appearance, from the life of the market, to the culture and health.

Changsha is much richer and more prosperous than Hengyang. The traces of the war have faded a lot, and Robert took advantage of Chen Ming's busy time in Changsha to wander around outside every day, constantly wandering, and all the streets and alleys he could have been to went.

The culture of the market, the prosperity of the market, Robert has seen it with his own eyes and experienced it firsthand.

Comparing London with Changsha, the city of London is more prosperous than Changsha, the size of the city may also be rewarded, and the population gap is not too large. Comparing the lives of the British in London with the lives of the Chinese here, the material disparity is not very obvious. Chinese incomes are much lower than in the UK, but prices in China are also cheaper.

In terms of medical treatment, Robert felt very magical about the ancient Chinese medicine, there are many pharmacies and pharmacies in the streets and alleys of Changsha, and the government here has also opened public low-cost hospitals, and the cost of diagnosis and treatment is much cheaper than that of the United Kingdom. What makes Robert even more unforgettable is that the Chinese hospital has thrown off three streets of British hospitals in terms of cleanliness and hygiene! The British hospital of this era is ......, hehe, that is called hehe.

Accommodation, meals, clothes, and what the Chinese call 'chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea' are all much cheaper than in the UK.

Spiritually, the Chinese in Changsha are also full of spiritual life and rich in entertainment.

The temple fairs here, the public performances here, one after another.

Although Robert can't understand drama, he doesn't know much about cross talk and storytelling, and many of the allusions and jokes are not something that he, a foreigner, can understand. But he just needs to know that the Chinese are happy to see this, whether it is a rich official or an ordinary civilian poor. The Chen-Han government used such forms of public performance to promote its own policies and stir up discontent and anger against Tatar rule in the hearts of the people. It's an interesting way to get the word out.

The rich entertainment life is undoubtedly a major reason for the Chinese civilians in Changsha to be full of energy, and the energetic people will have more desire to pursue life.

In his diary, he compared Chinese drama to Western opera. But in the West, opera has always been the preserve of the middle and upper class.

There is no horse racing in China. Chen Han is seriously lacking horses as a whole, but China has a football presence. The origin of this sport was naturally set by Chen Ming on Keju, although the details of the planning have been very different from Keju, completely in accordance with the rules of football in the 21st century, and the rules and regulations are really perfect.

At first, football was only practiced in the army, and there was less entertainment in the army than the common people, and football soon formed a trend within the Fuhan army, just like basketball.

Then these two movements spread from the military to the civilian population.

After the rule of the Han army in Hunan entered the summer, the previous decrees that strictly forbade local people to assemble and gather were revoked. Football itself has a huge charm, although in the previous life Chinese football has always been 'dare not win', countless domestic fans scolded when they talked about it, but this is not - love and hate!

Besides, China itself has a tradition of keju. During the Ming Dynasty, it was still very prosperous, but in the Manchu Dynasty, the Qing court was afraid that the people would gather for no reason and cause hidden dangers, and Keju soon disappeared from the land of China. The Tartar himself made a bow on the ice. Combining it with ice skating, the ice frolic ceremony is held in Taiye Pond (now Beihai) every winter, "rewarding work and practice, and cultivating national customs with simple martial arts", which is very nonsense.

Robert is very interested in football. Britain also has a tradition of playing 'football', although the British people of this era have not yet given birth to the most basic rules of football. But the emergence of a movement with broad popular support is never something that comes up with a pat on the head.

In the 21st century, Europeans have touted football as the 'world's number one sport', which is closely related to the deep tradition of European football.

Not only Robert, but also David Osmant and all the other Englishmen, but also Perrière and others developed an unstoppable love for the sport after seeing football for the first time.

Robert soon heard the word 'Keju' from chatting with the guide. Robert, who understood the reasons in detail, had to lament that 'the Tatars had blocked the development of Chinese civilization'. The guide's cheeks twitched.

There is no need to deny that Chen Ming's promotion of basketball and football in the military ranks is largely based on the 'resentment' of his previous life, and another reason is to enrich the soldiers' spare time, so that the psychological and spiritual conditions of the soldiers can be better adjusted. Even for the setting of football personnel - why eleven, not ten in a class. Chen Ming's explanation is also - let the soldiers know how to 'cooperate' and always remember their 'comrades-in-arms'! It's very high-sounding.

But the Chinese seem to have an extraordinary enthusiasm for basketball and football, and the promoted volleyball, rugby, baseball and other sports are obviously not as popular with soldiers as basketball and football. When these sports spread to the people, football and basketball immediately emerged.

"Mr. Perrier, 'storytelling' is a very old traditional art in China, which originated in the Song Dynasty, that is, 800 years ago." In a teahouse next to the Changsha Fire Palace, François Philippe Perrier, a representative of the French East India Company, was sitting with his guide in a teahouse separated by a screen, looking excited to observe the lively scene in the teahouse.

The storyteller is not talking about the original Three Kingdoms, but "Saying Yue". Under Chen Han's rule, the share of Yue's share in the storytelling market has exceeded that of the Three Kingdoms Bosses, which is obviously related to the political wind.

Perrier was not a very learned man, and although he was well-informed, he could only hehe when it came to the history of France. When he heard that the storyteller in front of him, the storyteller who didn't seem to have a very noble social status, at least went up to "The Dispute between Chu and Han" and "The Biography of the Heroes and Martyrs of the Ming Dynasty", which ran through two thousand years, the history of the rise and fall of more than a dozen dynasties, and the history of the generals - if the romance described by those exaggerated techniques is counted as history, millions of words, all remembered in the storyteller's mind, he really admired the storyteller on the stage.

Perrier felt that the profession resembled the extinct bard of Europe. The ancestors of France, the Gauls, the bards, had disappeared under the Roman Empire. The last bards of all of Europe were in the Gaelic-speaking region of Scotland, where they existed until the early 18th century and have been cut off for decades.

The guide's head shook like a rattle, he really didn't know what a bard was, and he felt that this bard was very different from Li Bai and Meng Haoran in Chinese history. But Mr. Storyteller's status in society is really not too high, and he does not want to invite him to talk to Perrier.

Don't look at the only two people in this café, the guide and Perrier, outside the café, there are four plainclothes policemen and two internal guards protecting them. Let a sleeping dog lie!

"Your Highness, there is an urgent message from the north. The Tartars have hit North Korea! ”

Just when Robert, Perrier and others were leisurely touring the Changsha market, Chen Ming, who had just finished his official duties, received a courier from Chen Guang in the north, along with Chen Guang's confession.

The Manchu Qing suddenly moved back to the northeast on a large scale, and Chen Ming ordered Chen Guang to pay close attention to the matter, but the northeast was a place rarely visited by the northern secret camp, and it was full of enemies. In the end, not only did he fail to keep an eye on Hailancha, but he didn't even notice the assembly of the Qing army in Phoenix, and the first-hand battle report was ten days late!

After the secret camp in the northeast verified the situation, the news was quickly reported to Chen Guang's hands, and then it was urgently transmitted to Wuhan with flying pigeons, and then from Wuhan to Changsha.

Chen Ming looked completely stunned, really confused.

"Qianlong fights North Korea? Why? "Even the Tianjin Navy Division has been released, and there is also the Eight Banners New Army led by Hailancha to the Northeast.

The Jin San Fat and the sticks on the peninsula in later generations are quite disgusting to the Chinese people, especially the sticks. But when it comes to Lee's North Korea in the current era, many historical whites really have a little favor, including Chen Ming.

Although the Li dynasty did not actually take any action, internally, not only the king, but also many ministers of the two classes, jointly brewed an anti-Qing plan for a long time, as well as the nostalgia and sacrifice of the emperor in the big newspaper and the Chongzhen era, at least it shows that they know how to be grateful.

"North Korea is very respectful to the Manchu Qing ......." Where did Chen Ming remember to see that in the 200 years before the Manchu Dynasty, Korean envoys arrived in Beijing 2.6 times a year on average. And the Tartars are all on this, and the limited forces don't need to be spent on the blade of the blade, but on North Korea, isn't this?

"Where are Chen Dai and Shi Xinxiong?"

"Your Highness, Chen Dai's fleet just returned to Wusong six days ago."

"Let them set off again and go to the waters of South Korea." North Korea may close its port at this time, but South Korea probably won't.

"A closer look at the Korean war. If you can, help them. The base of the stay is Jeju Island in the southwest corner. ”

That position is not only coveted by Jeju Island, but also Chenming of Jumyun Island on the edge of Jeju Island, which is a natural anchorage - Jumyun Island is composed of West Island, East Island and Ancient Island, and the three islands stand on their feet, forming a natural harbor where large warships can be moored. Strategically located in the middle of the waterway from Yeosu in the Korean Strait to Jeju Island, that is, between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, it controls the throat of the Tsushima Strait. It has a very important strategic value!

"North Korea is really a bit of a disaster." Sitting at home behind closed doors, woe will come from heaven!

With a map of North Korea in his mind, Chen Ming smiled very reservedly. If it weren't for Liu Wu, Xiong Bingzhang, Chen Jiqing and others serving him for a long time, ordinary people might not be able to feel the schadenfreude contained in Chen Ming's smile.

"Do you know how this North Korea offended His Highness?"

"How could I know. Today, I heard these two words in my ears for the first time. ”

Chen Ming's ears and eyes were very sharp, and he heard Gao Yanming and Liu Wu's muttering, but he pretended not to hear it. How did they know that Chen Ming had a little complication about North Korea in his heart?

From the beginning of Chen Ming's army to the time when the Han army owned half of the country, he never thought of contacting North Korea to attack the Manchus.

Not to mention whether North Korea will really send troops, what Chen Ming is afraid of is that they will send troops, and then what will he pay them for?

Oh, the little brother is bleeding from the service of the big brother, and you always have to treat the little brother when you are the big brother, right?

If the two sides really succeeded in flanking the Manchus, at least in the short term, the Yalu River basin would be controlled by North Korea, and their tentacles would even extend to southern Liaoning, which is not completely impossible. If the North Korean stick occupies a piece of land by the Yalu River and refuses to leave, Chen Ming is unwilling and can't directly drive people away, right? Then there's the balls again.

Later generations of sticks regarded the entire Changbai Mountain as their own ancestral sacred mountain, but you can see that on the map drawn by the Koreans themselves in this era, Changbai Mountain is clearly in China. This is the most disgusting stick of Chen Ming!

The disgusting thing in this regard lowered his favorability of Lee North Korea from 100 points to 60 points, the passing line.

That's why he won't send people to North Korea, and it's better for both sides to be motionless than quiet. North Korea should be quietly on the peninsula and be its own 'splendid flower man'.

As a result, the Manchus knocked North Korea!

Chen Ming was surprised, but couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Such a coke! (To be continued.) )
