Through Wang Jing, the Liang family army contacted the Qing Dynasty who had no fighting spirit in the city of Guilin, and jointly calculated that the 50,000 White Lotus Sect members in Xing'an County were in the mouth, Liang Pengfei had already taken the battleship and went straight to the north, a battle that was enough to shake the earth and make the change of dynasty about to start. 【Reading.com】

And at this moment, Yanjing fell into a gloomy cloud, although the Qing court is still the state institution that manages this huge territory, but those who can know the inside situation are already very clear that the Manchu people, for the rule of this land, has been shaken, or it should be said that a terrible crisis, has befallen these Manchu people who seem to be always high and superior.

In Yanjing City, although the children of the Eight Banners who were so many of them didn't hear any news, they seemed to have felt a hint of worry from those high-level people, and they inquired helplessly, hoping to get some news, but when the news really came out of their ears, among those Eight Banners in Beijing, I don't know how many people were scared of the six gods.

As for the princes, the princes, the princes, the beylors, the princesses, and so on, they were also asking each other for news in a panic. The officials of the six ministries are also uneasy, these days, there is really no news that can really be blocked or concealed.

It has been a long time since the line from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of the black-clothed thief army under the banner of Liangzi, whether it was the Eight Banners soldiers on the Manchurian side who attacked Jinzhou or the Beijing Eight Banners army that marched north into Shanhaiguan, they were defeated again and again without the slightest exception.

If it weren't for the connection between Jingshi and Manchu and the fact that they could know the situation of the other party through the grassland, it was finally clear that those black-clothed thieves only occupied the line between Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, and blocked the shortcut that went straight to the outside of the customs, and did not have the spare strength to launch a campaign against Manchuria, perhaps, things would be even more inextricable.

But even so, the Eight Banners of Jingying have been in front of the Shanhai Pass for nearly three months, but they have not been able to break through the world-famous pass. Under Qianlong's anger, in three months, he had already removed the commander twice, and ordered the slaughter of two ineffective commanders.

Now, the grain, grass, and ordnance of the Beijing division are being continuously transported to the north, and the only hope of the important ministers of the court and Qianlong is to be able to retake Shanhaiguan and open up the connection with Manchuria, which is definitely not just as simple as completing a military strategic goal.

The dignified Qing Dynasty, it took a lot of effort, Jinzhou plus Shanhaiguan, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, it has taken three months, and it is impossible to take these two places, if this kind of news spreads, the world will be shocked, and those various forces that are already dissatisfied with the Manchu rule will inevitably be noisy, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late to say anything.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In order to support the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the materials transported by the Beijing division had to go north through Huairou and Miyun, directly to Chengde Mansion, and then through Pingquanzhou, Jianchang, Chaoyang, Yizhou, and then to the city of Dalinghe, which was nearly a thousand miles away, and the road was far less flat and fast than the line from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou.

In the third month, Qianlong used all kinds of tricks, and in the end, he was so angry that he even pulled almost all the shotguns, firearms, siege equipment, or heavy artillery in the Beijing division camp to the city of Shanhaiguan, except for leaving the necessary to defend the city.

However, the gang of thieves surnamed Liang who forcibly occupied Shanhaiguan was not short of heavy artillery, after all, the range of those red-clothed cannons and general cannons cast in Shanhaiguan City was no less than that brought by the camp of the Najing Division, and they still shot condescendingly, in addition, the other party also had a large number of strange artillery, and the kind of flowering shells used by that kind of artillery almost became an eternal nightmare in the hearts of almost every Eight Banners disciples who went to Shanhaiguan to fight.

Qianlong strictly ordered the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division to storm Shanhaiguan, how many of those Eight Banners disciples really have blood surnames? Even if there are some, in the past three months, I am afraid that they will be consumed, and the rest of those who have seen the strength of the Shanhaiguan Town Guard Army, although they dare not really besiege and not attack against the order, but now the offensive is more like a routine.

rushed to the firing range of the artillery, if the opponent's fire is fierce, then withdraw, the opponent does not pay attention, and then rush forward, if not, then slap the ass and flash people.

After all, among these children of the Eight Banners of Beijing, there are definitely not a few relatives of the emperor, and there are countless yellow and red belts in the clan, many of which are related to this prince and that Baylor, and they are really going to provoke those guys, when the time comes, who knows what their fate will be?

In short, in front of the Shanhaiguan, a strange landscape was formed, and every day the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division would launch one or two attacks, but each time they were greeted by the fierce artillery fire of the other party, leaving dozens or even hundreds of corpses behind and then escaping from the range of artillery fire, and then, waiting for a new day to come.

And those thieves in the Shanhaiguan City don't seem to have the slightest interest in going out of the city to counterattack, let those Qing army commanders try their brains, whether it is to provoke, call the formation, scold the formation, and issue a war letter, in short, all the moves that can be made are used, but the other party is not a bird, just hiding in the tall and firm Shanhaiguan to defend in the outrageously outrageous Shanhaiguan.

And at the moment when the Beijing division was anxious about the matter of the Shanhaiguan, the south, came the news that was even more shocking to the world, Liang Pengfei, the chief soldier of the Guangdong Provincial Naval Division, had rebelled, and had already occupied the entire territory of Guangdong, most of Guangxi, and the southern part of Fujian in just half a month.

Qianlong was so angry on the spot that he almost vomited blood again, this is not the end, soon, combined with the matter of Guangdong, it was finally found out that those thieves who occupied Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan and killed the Jilin generals and the eight banners of Jilin Manchukuo belonged to the same person: Liang Pengfei.

In the midst of extreme anger and stunned, the court finally began to face up to this small general soldier who was enough to shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

And when the news of Liang Pengfei's rebellion reached Jingshi, Prince Jia Yongyan put the blame on Na Heshen, because Liang Pengfei and Heshen have always had contacts, and the two brothers have a good relationship with Liang Pengfei.

But fortunately, Qianlong didn't take his son's words of impeachment as one thing, but comforted He Shen a lot, and issued an order to reward He Lin, who was still leading the army with illness, and still looked pampered, which made He Shen breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Qianlong did not listen to Na Yongyan's words, but since he and Shen were the chief military ministers, they always had to come up with a charter for a rebellion that affected several provinces.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

But the problem is that He Shen and the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department can only sit there and stare at each other, nothing else. It's because there are no soldiers to send. Now the court is stunned that it can't find an army to go south to quell this rebellion that has spread to several provinces, why? Simple, because the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in the area of Huguang has now spread to several provinces in the hinterland of the Great Qing Kingdom, which is almost equivalent to dividing the Great Qing Kingdom along both sides of the Yangtze River.

Most of the imperial armies have been concentrated in Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Anhui and other regions, and between Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, it happens to be separated from the areas where the White Lotus Sect is active.

If you want to go south to quell the rebellion, how many troops will be sent, how will they be sent, and what will be done with the gaps left after sending a large army south? Today, the White Lotus Sect has not been exterminated, it still has hundreds of thousands of people, and it still has the capital to confront the officers and soldiers head-on.

If it is relaxed, then what should the White Lotus Sect do if it once again breaks through the defensive circle of officers and soldiers and expands its territory outward? And the south is controlled by Liang Pengfei, how can the grain, grass and ordnance of the army be guaranteed at that time?

In case Liang Pengfei and the White Lotus Sect teamed up to clean up the southbound army, what should the court do?

"It's difficult, it's really difficult......" He Shen shook his head, sitting in the military plane and sighing, who would have expected that the Great Qing Kingdom, which originally seemed to be steaming on the surface, actually became devastated in the blink of an eye, and the rule of the banner people seemed to have become stormy.

Qianlong, who had become weaker and weaker because of a lot of bad things, was still preparing to go to Chengde for the summer, but now he can only hold on to the town in Yanjing City.

Fu Longan took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, handed one to Na Heshen, lit one himself, and said with a little bitterness after swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog: "Our Great Qing Dynasty has a comprehensive army in the world, and there are more than 660,000 people in the green camp, and the eight banners stationed in the city plus the eight banners of the Beijing division are also close to 200,000 people, which is more than 860,000 people, but now, in the conquest of the White Lotus traitors, the banner and green soldiers have been mobilized to 350,000 people. The southern green camp has the most water divisions in Fujian and Guangzhou, followed by Gansu, and Anhui the least. ”

"Liang Pengfei was able to gain a firm foothold in the two provinces with the largest garrisons in the Qing Dynasty, and it is conceivable that it is bound to be big."

A cold smile hung on the corner of He Shen's mouth: "Why is it so powerful?" Even Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou are in his hands, and the jurisdiction of Najilin is hollowed out by his subordinates, you think about it, even Yingyi doesn't have this ability, but he has a small naval division general, just Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan, there are at least twenty or thirty thousand elites, not to mention those thieves who are hiding in Manchuria, and killing the Najilin garrison. ”

Hearing Na Heshen's analysis, Fu Longan couldn't help but slap his tongue again and again: "Then you say that, doesn't he have at least this number ......" Fu Longan stretched out two fingers and gestured.
