The mountain is majestic, the sea is surging, the first pass in the world stands majestically, according to the Yan Mountain, near the Bohai Sea, the most important checkpoint to enter the customs from outside the customs, is the Shanhaiguan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Historically, Shanhaiguan has changed hands several times with the prosperity of the dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui once went out here to conquer Goryeo, the Khitans, the Jurchens, and the Mongols have successively become the masters here, the Ming Dynasty really got the current name, the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty here continued to smoke gunpowder, and finally there was a drama of rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled the area for more than 100 years, the Tang people occupied this checkpoint again, firmly blocking Fukangan and his Qing army outside the Guanwai from the Great Wall.

Outside the Shanhai Pass, tents were erected about ten miles away from the city. This is the camp of the Qing army, Fukangan has successfully joined with General Jilin and Longwu and Heilongjiang General Fu Yu, at this time Fukangan has about 30,000 Qing troops in his hands, almost all of the Qing army outside the Guan.

Fu Yu stood in front of the camp, looked at Xiongguan, which was not too far away, and sighed: "This Tang army's artillery is really powerful, my Eight Banners can't even set up camp under the city, as long as you enter the eight miles away from the city, the split head is a bunch of cannons smashed down." ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" And Longwu also sighed.

When the Qing army arrived at Shanhaiguan, the momentum was still relatively sufficient, and Fukangan immediately ordered to take advantage of the sudden situation to directly attack Shanhaiguan. But the Tang soldiers in charge of reconnaissance had already informed the regiment commander Xie Jinwu, who was guarding the pass. The Shenwu regiment, which was in charge of the defense, was all in a state of combat readiness, and when the Qing army rushed over, it was immediately suppressed by the artillery on the head of the city. Many of the Eight Banners Army were really thrown off their horses by artillery, and one person was killed directly.

However, the army led by Fukangan still has some courage, and there are still many Sauron soldiers and Xibe soldiers in their more primitive forms in this team. Therefore, the combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the ordinary Eight Banners. The will to fight is also stronger. Even with such a blow. This group of Qing troops still rushed to the city, they pushed all kinds of siege tools, and some shotgunners and archers to cover, but this group of Qing troops attacking the city wall did not see the common stone throwing wood and other defensive weapons of the city, but were directly repelled by a few machine guns mounted on the city wall.

Fukangan's eyes were red at that time, and he immediately ordered the troops besieging the city to withdraw. He also had some reflections, he didn't know the reality of the Tang Army, so blindly let the troops rush through the pass and attack the city. It was really inconsiderate, so he was not hypocritical, and tried to retreat back to avoid too much loss.

So Fukangan decided to set up camp outside the city and build a tower four or five miles away from the city tower to prepare for the next siege. However, just as his men and horses were about to build the tower and the barracks, they were subjected to a concentrated volley of artillery fire, and the operation of the tower was naturally in vain. So Fukangan ordered the people to retreat six miles away, but they were still shelled. In the end, at a distance of eight miles, the Qing troops were still under shelling. However, at this distance, the accuracy of the shelling is greatly reduced. However, this decline refers to the decline to the normal understanding of the accuracy and dispersion of the cannon in Fukangan. So his tower was still unsafe at this distance. So Fukangan ordered to evacuate Erli again, and build a tower and a barracks at a distance of ten miles, this time the Tang army did not shell here again, Fukangan made his own judgment, and the Tang army's artillery could only shoot to the position of Bali.

By determining his own safety zone in this way, Fukang Anxin Dao could be regarded as finding out the reality of the defenders, but from the time he sent his troops to rush through the pass to the distance from the construction of the tower barracks, there were already more than 800 casualties of the Qing army, and his subordinates claimed that they had not even seen the faces of the Tang people.

Fukangan said with a stern face: "This is probably the secret why the Tang people were able to break through the capital so quickly and defeat the Eight Banners of the Beijing camp." The Tang people are good at firearms, and the power of guns is so amazing that mortals can't resist it. ”

After the defeat on the first day, the morale of the Qing army had dropped significantly, and many of the Eight Banners of the Qing army no longer believed that they could break through the Shanhai Pass, and even the most brave and warlike Sauron soldiers were a little frightened.

At this time, the three supreme commanders of the Qing army stood in the barracks, observing the situation at Shanhaiguan. He Longan, who was already a little afraid of the Tang army, persuaded Fukangan: "Lord Fu, I think this matter should be considered in the long run, Shanhaiguan is guarded by the Tang army, and there are countless artillery guns, if it is attacked, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties to our army, even if you can break through Shanhaiguan at that time, you will definitely not be able to hit the capital and rescue Your Majesty and the whole city." ”

Although Fukangan doesn't look down on He Longwu, he is also very good at interpersonal relationships, he said: "It makes sense to talk to adults, but Ben Jiang no longer thinks that he can find the emperor and his old man in the capital." ”

He was deeply loved by Qianlong, and the novelists and playwrights who liked braided dramas in later generations were a little crazy, and they also made Fukangan Qianlong's illegitimate son. This kind of arrangement can not be regarded as groundless, after all, with the youth of Fukangan, Qianlong had already appointed him to such an extremely important position as General Shengjing before he was thirty years old, and after pacifying Jinchuan, he also gave him a very high title, and gave him honors such as drinking in front of the emperor.

On the one hand, the Fucha clan is a good general, and Qianlong's reward for Fukangan is also the importance of the Fucha clan. Qianlong especially valued military generals, talented and warlike generals were quite valued by him, and Fukangan was still young, with a good background, and on the battlefield, he also led 800 soldiers to attack the enemy's fortress without fear of death, which made Qianlong have a good impression of him. But if you really want to give someone the name of an illegitimate child, I'm afraid it's a bit wronged.

To what extent is Fukangan's status, Fukangan, who is only twenty-five years old now, is better than Fu Yu who served as the general of Heilongjiang in terms of honorable rank, and what kind of person is Fu Yu, who is also Fucha's family, the brother of Fukangan's father Fu Heng. Fu Yu's generals are worse than several leaders in the Fucha clan, at most they are decent, and in the position of Heilongjiang general, which is not a hot one, he has stayed for more than ten years, and he is not enterprising enough, and he is more than successful. Heilongjiang at this time is not the place with strong industrial strength and large areas of fertile land in later generations, and Heilongjiang at this time is not much different from Siberia, and it is rarely visited. The Qing Dynasty sent Liuren Banner slaves here, and these people multiplied day by day, but they were not as many as a small city in Guannai. In order to manage these people, the position of Heilongjiang General was set up, and there were about 7,000 people in the Eight Banners Army under his command.

It can be said that some positions like Heilongjiang generals have been almost degraded and exiled.

Among the great garrison generals of the Qing Dynasty, General Sheng Jing had the highest status, and the commander of the soldiers and horses was also the most, with more than 10,000 people. General Guangzhou, General Hangzhou and the like, although there is still a governor to check and balance, but the small life of the poor flowers is harmonious, and the Heilongjiang general can only blow the northwest wind outside the pass.

Although Fu Yu is the elder of Fukangan, he is obviously very self-aware, and does not regard himself as an elder, and he is also called Lord Fu or General Fu of Fukangan.

Fu Yu pointed to the Great Wall at this time and said: "Although this Shanhaiguan is surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tang army has countless heavy troops and cannons here, but the Great Wall is so long, and there are dozens of passes. When I was not in the main pass in the Qing Dynasty, I entered the fortress from different passes many times. In the third year of Tiancong, Emperor Taizong entered the customs from Xifengkou; In the first year of Chongde, Prince Azig entered the customs from Fort Victory; In the third year of Chongde, I divided the east and west roads into the east and west, and entered the jam at Qingshankou and Qiangziling; In the seventh year of Chongde, Abatai, the king of Raoyu County, led the army from Huangyakou to enter the customs. This line of the Great Wall, I don't know how many passes can allow us to break through, this Shanhaiguan is not easy to attack, in the time of Taizu Taizong, we know, now why bother to hit hard, have to capture Shanhaiguan, there is more than one way to enter the customs. ”

Fukangan nodded and said: "What my uncle said makes sense, this is a high opinion for the country." The general had already sent people to inquire about the garrison of other passes on the Great Wall, but this matter was by no means simple, and the Tang army's marching and fighting, including guarding the pass and defending the land, was completely different from the military and family affairs we usually saw. Take this Shanhaiguan as an example, there are only a few scattered people standing guard on the city wall, and it is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses they have guarded. Even the most critical cannons at the head of the city, they were only moved out when they were in use, and you don't know how many cannons they have in normal times, and the fast guns that are like a rainstorm are also erected on the city wall when they need it. If the other Tang troops guarded the same passes, then they would not be able to see any deployment outside the pass, and unless they attacked with soldiers and horses, they could try to find out the truth and the truth. ”

He Longwu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Then let's send some soldiers and horses to feign the key points and test their reality?" ”

Fu Yu vetoed: "This plan can't be successful, if there are only dozens of hundreds of people, the Tang army will not fight well at all, if I am the Tang army, I will definitely be put down in the city and poured down with that torrential rain, and if it is thousands of people, it will not be considered a feint." Moreover, the firearms of the Tang army are so sharp, even if it is a feint, dozens or hundreds of people will have to die at a pass, and the total loss will be too great, our troops cannot be regarded as abundant, and we cannot afford to lose at all, if the loss is too great, this force of soldiers is afraid that it will mutiny immediately, don't say King Qin, I am afraid that there will be trouble outside the pass. ”

Fu Kangan sighed, he had already thought of everything Fu Yu said. Therefore, he can only let the spies get as much information as possible, and then determine which passes are easier to attack and less solid to defend in a fundamentally uncertain environment. He was very worried at the moment, he, like the Tang Army, also lacked troops, and with the level of trauma of the Tang Army, more than 30,000 people in his hands could not be fought at all. He can still recruit soldiers and horses in the northeast, but the Eight Banners outside the gate are not enthusiastic about going to the battlefield. It is possible to recruit nomadic or fishing and hunting Sauron soldiers, but that needs the world, and Fukangan's army rations are not much, he can barely scrape together enough military funds for this expedition, but if this battle is not won, it is unlikely that he will have a chance to make a comeback. Because the economy outside the border is too weak to support his continued war. (To be continued.) )
