"Bastards, these Yingyi dog thieves!" Qianlong's hand kept hitting the sandalwood table, and his old face with white hair was twisted to an incomparably hideous face, and from between his teeth, he viciously squeezed out such a sentence.

And on the floor of the main hall, there were already kneeling ministers of civil and military affairs, and no one dared to speak out at this time to anger Emperor Qianlong, who was already angry. No one thought that at the grand court meeting, which was supposed to be singing and dancing to promote peace and sing praises of merit and virtue, they would actually hear about such a major event that shocked the government and the opposition.

That is, those British brazenly drove the battleship into the Yangtze River, attacked the Wusongkou East Fort by night, and then went up the river, dozens of warships went straight to Zhenjiang, and attacked Zhenjiang repeatedly, Zhenjiang City Defense was mostly destroyed, and Zhenjiang Wharf almost became a ruin, fortunately, Zhenjiang Battalion General Li Jinzhong fought hard to lead the army to the death, Songnan Water Division Battalion, Nanhui Water Division Battalion also attacked the British from behind regardless of casualties, and in the end, Songnan Water Division Battalion, Nanhui Water Division Battalion suffered heavy losses, and Zhenjiang Battalion lost more than half of the division, but, Finally stopped the British on the river.

Subsequently, Chang Qing, the commander of the Jiangnan water and land forces, immediately led the army to Zhenjiang to wait for the battle, and the British did not continue the attack after the attack was fruitless, but they cruised the Zhenjiang section of the Yangtze River and blocked the main artery of the court: Caoyun.

"These English, when they came to pay tribute, I showed mercy and mercy, I didn't expect that these people actually looked down on my Great Qing Kingdom because of this, and actually dared to go straight into the Yangtze River, according to the lock Caoyun...... "Qianlong's roar echoed throughout the hall, mainly because the sound transmission effect of this heart cultivation hall was very good, so that Qianlong's old voice could echo in the hall for a long time.

"Please calm the anger of the thunder and take care of the dragon's body......" Ah Gui, the first assistant of the dynasty, saw that Qianlong's anger was getting more and more uplifting at this moment, so he had to persuade hard. All of a sudden, the servants in the hall were like clouds.

"Take care, how can I take care and calm my anger, do I have to wait until those Yingyi thieves hit Yanjing City before I can get angry?! Look at one or two of you, they are all important ministers of the court, the pillars of the country, and now, Yingyi has actually cut off Caoyun, don't you have any way? Qianlong seemed to be dizzy with anger, and such a sentence came out.

The ministers all made close contact with the gold bricks on the ground, and secretly slandered in their hearts, your old man was angry here from the beginning, when did you give us time to think of ideas?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

There was a fire, and Qianlong, who was sweating in the cold sky, looked at these ministers lying on the ground, opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Let's get up." I knew that these heroes were so ambitious, I shouldn't have let them go to Beijing to pay tribute, but now, I actually let them cut off their luck and shocked the world, which made me face the emperor and the holy ancestor like this, how to face the ancestors and ancestors who love Xinjueluo? ”

"Weichen (minion) failed the emperor's grace and committed a capital crime, and the capital crime ......" Under the leadership of Ah Gui, everyone neatly expressed their fear and guilt to Emperor Qianlong, who was standing in front of the dragon case and felt sorry for himself.

"Your Majesty, the servants think that they should transfer troops and horses to the south again, rejuvenate the army of our king, and subdue the heroes." One of the ministers stepped out of the crowd and said in general. This is Wu Xingqin, who has just been promoted to the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court for a long time.

"Troop transfers? Where's the soldier? Lord Wu, Yingyi is from the sea, takes the boat as his home, and rides over from the north, can he still let them fight on the water? He Lin couldn't help but stand up and said loudly, the most unaccustomed thing is this kind of person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, even if this guy is his brother's henchman.

Wu Xingqin saw that it was He Lin who jumped out, rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to take care of it, the important thing is that although He Shen and He Lin brothers are corrupt and incorruptible, although He Lin is not used to his brother's actions, but the relationship between the two brothers is very harmonious. Wu Xingqin couldn't screw up with this and the second master, so he simply didn't say anything.

"There are no water divisions in the north, but there are in the south, and water divisions can be mobilized from the south to level the Yingyi."

"No, since the Guangdong Navy Division to Qianlong for 55 years, it has fought every year, suffered heavy losses, and has not returned to the old view, and some time ago, in a battle with Yingyi outside the mouth of the Pearl River, it was a loss of generals, and morale was greatly reduced, so defeated, how can it be a battle?"

"Then according to Lord Chen's words, the Fujian sailors can't move? The Fujian Navy Division Nanao Town was almost wiped out, and the rest shrank, and it was difficult to have the will to fight. ”

"I have cleared the water divisions of Fujian and Guangdong, as well as the adjustable ...... of Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake."

Above the court, the ministers began to quarrel again into a pot of porridge, Qianlong looked at the spitting of the ministers below, and he really felt a headache. In the end, he simply named him: "Ah Gui, you can talk about it." ”

"The slave thinks that Fukangan has rushed to Jiangnan to coordinate the five provinces, and now, Yingyi has cut off the matter of Caoyun, and he must have known about it when he comes to Fukangan, and he has the most say in this matter." Gui had no choice but to stand up and reply. To tell the truth, Ah Gui has fought for decades and can be regarded as a person who has a say in the war.

But the problem is that he has been fighting for decades all the work of land warfare, as for water warfare, he may know in official documents that there are several kinds of warships in the Qing Dynasty, and how many sailors and soldiers there are, but the problem is that he has never played it? As the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, Ah Gui was promoted by Fu Heng, and Ah Gui has a very good relationship with Fukangan, I still know something from Fukangan, water warfare and land warfare are completely different things, so Qianlong asked him to come out to speak, and he could only pull Fukangan as a shield.

Hearing Ah Gui's answer, Qianlong fell into silence. "Is there any news from Fukangan?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Fu has rushed to Poyang Lake a month ago, and now, I think that the two lakes water division should have been assembled and is rushing to Zhenjiang, but with the strength of the two lakes inland river water division alone, I am afraid it will be ......" Ah Gui opened his mouth again.

Although these two sailors are hung with the name of the sailors, but in fact, the role of these two sailors is mainly used to arrest thieves, and the river is not at all the same as the sea, these two sailors are mostly small boats, and according to military reports, the smallest warships of the other side are more than twice as large as the big boats of the Qing Kingdom, and compared with those small-level warships in the inland river, it is really frustrating, I am afraid that the other party does not have to fight at all, and it is possible to sink all of you.

"There are no usable soldiers in the court...... Ah Gui couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. At least there were only a few sailors in the Qing Dynasty: Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and the two big lakes in the Yangtze River. As for the sailors here in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, thinking of these two places, Ah Gui couldn't help but pout, the army in these two places is the second in the combat effectiveness of the provincial armies of the Qing Dynasty, and it is almost the same to beat soy sauce, let them be the main force, it is better to let them commit suicide by jumping into the sea en masse.

Qianlong also had a headache, the water diverter, how can there be a water division, his own original water division is not angry, let the British name one by one, now it is better, directly into the Yangtze River, that feeling, it is like a cold winter wax moon, when it is a snowstorm, there is actually a mouse into his crotch, reach out and grab and can't catch it, take off his pants and bare ass in the storm dew not freeze Chengren stick is strange, but don't take it off, it's pounding inside, that kind of uncomfortable strength is really not mentioned.

Moreover, what if it is crazy and bites the little **? Well, it's just a metaphor, just like now, the British can threaten Cao Yun at any time, but the Qing Kingdom does not have a sailor who can compete with it, really, Qianlong was so depressed that he wanted to take a bite of the jade seal to relieve his hatred.

At this time, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the main hall, Qianlong raised his eyelids, and saw a guard holding a box specially containing official documents coming quickly, and couldn't help but mention in his heart, could it be any bad news, right?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It turned out that when Fukangan led the army to Jiangning Mansion, he already knew the news of the British attack on Zhenjiang, and he stayed in Guangzhou for a long time, so he naturally knew the power of the Westerners' warships, and the warships in his hands were mostly small boats and flat-bottomed boats, mostly for the purpose of arresting thieves.

Moreover, Jiangning Mansion is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yamen of the Jiangnan Water and Land Admiral is located here, and at this time, Chang Qing, the Jiangnan Water and Land Governor, has already ordered the army to rush to Zhenjiang to help, so he is temporarily sitting here, but he did not wait for two days, and received a report from Kuaimalai, it seems that the British have the intention of continuing to go deeper along the river.

Now the Songnan Water Division Battalion and the Nanhui Water Division Battalion are all crippled, the Nanhui Water Division Battalion retreats to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Songnan Water Division Battalion retreats to the South Canal.

Fukangan did not sit and wait for death, he was ruthless, mobilized a large number of fishing boats from Jiangning Mansion, and then went down the river to Sanjiangkou and Mullet Island to set up ambushes.

Sure enough, two days later, a British squadron appeared on the Yangtze River, Fukangan couldn't bear it, and when the British warships reached the narrowest point, they ordered the sailors to go down the river and engage the British ships, and arranged for the sailors in the Mullet Island waterway to block the back of the British, this British detachment was also unlucky, this detachment happened to be the battleships that let Liang Pengfei's artillery be damaged at the beginning, it was precisely because they were ashamed that they specially volunteered to come to the advance fleet to explore the way.

Fukangan finally relied on the tactics of the sea of people to achieve the final victory, the important thing is that the waterway here is narrow, the British warships are difficult to get rid of the boats, and the back road is blocked, so they can only fight to the death, but the result of this battle still makes the winning side a little chilled.
