Chapter 421: Blossoming Everywhere
Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter the fall of the capital of the Manchu Empire, the city of Beijing, as the news spread, great turmoil was caused in other provinces of the Manchu Empire!
However, Emperor Qianlong was not a mediocre man waiting to be killed, and after he settled down in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, he immediately issued dozens of edicts, mobilized the national army and Mongolian iron cavalry, and quickly gathered in the Beijing-Tianjin region to besiege the overseas Han army!
After Wang Qiming's men and horses conquered the city of Beijing, the momentum of the offensive immediately slowed down, not that Wang Qiming did not want to fight, but that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were deeply entrenched in Beijing, and he would inevitably leave a considerable part of his troops to maintain the stability of the occupied area!
The Han army only had tens of thousands of people, and this war, under the propaganda of the secret service, had become a civil war in which the Han people overthrew the rule of the Manchus, rather than a routine for foreign invaders to leave after fighting and grabbing a wave!
Naturally, the Han army had to take on the responsibility of maintaining local stability!
It is not a problem for tens of thousands of Han troops to defeat several times or even dozens of times the Qing army, but it is not a problem to maintain local law and order!
After Wang Qiming's men and horses barely took most of Hebei Province, the offensive became weak, not because the Qing army mobilized efficiently, and the large number of soldiers gathered to block Wang Qiming's army, but because the Han army was unable to divide the excess forces to attack in order to consolidate the place and maintain law and order......
When the Han army first arrived, except for some gangster forces under the command of the secret service, it was almost zero on the political map of China, and the military might of the Han army could forcibly suppress the opposition voice, but it was precisely because the Han army only relied on the military might that it had to use a large number of garrisons to maintain its ruling rights!
This is still the effect achieved by the secret service in privately attracting a large number of local gentry classes, otherwise, not everyone can gain a firm foothold in the nest that the Manchu Qing has been operating for hundreds of years!
Some of them are scattered Manchu loyal ministers and righteous sons, hiding in the Beijing-Tianjin area, waiting for vacancies in the subordinates of the Han army to fan the flames!
Of course, Wang Qiming stopped his expansion and did not do nothing, with the help of the gangsters of the Beijing-Tianjin Regional Secret Service and the Qing soldiers of Toucheng, the new Han army of the Han Empire was beginning to be structured in an orderly manner!
Zhao Dutian also did not need to equip the new Han army with advanced Han rifles, and with the current financial deficit of the Han Empire, he could no longer afford to reproduce tens of thousands of Han rifles......
The production capacity of the Han Empire in the industrial area of California in North America is working overtime to produce ammunition!
When the cannon sounded, it was not an exaggeration, in the process of the Han army crushing the Qing army with overwhelming firepower, it was a massive consumption of shells!
Fortunately, the Qing army's resistance was not long every time, and the ammunition consumption was not very large, otherwise the Han army that landed would have had an ammunition crisis long ago!
Therefore, the newly established Han New Army can only use a large number of flintlock pistols produced and eliminated by the Han Empire during the American War.
Presumably, it won't be long before the new Han army will become an army, and Wang Qiming doesn't expect them to have much combat effectiveness, as long as they can be a good security force to maintain the rule of the Beijing-Tianjin region, so that the main force of the Han army can be drawn out to continue to attack the Manchu Empire!
Just when Emperor Qianlong of the Manchu Empire was greatly relieved to see that the Han army had stopped its offensive posture due to the consolidation of its territory, another bad news reached Taiyuan, Shanxi!
Emperor Qianlong's worries became a reality!
Relying on their strong maritime capabilities, the Han Kingdom carried out a large-scale landing operation in the vast coastal area of southern China!
Wang Qiming's quick victory in the Beijing-Tianjin region made Zhao Dutian realize that the Qing army in the Qianlong period was much weaker than expected, and at this moment, the capital Jingshi had fallen, and under the deliberate propaganda of the secret service, the Manchu government could not hide the news no matter what!
When the news of the fall of the Manchu capital spreads in the southern coastal cities of the Manchu Empire, the morale of the Qing army will inevitably fall, and what will happen if the morale of the Qing army, which is already very rubbish, falls again?
Zhao Dutian and the Imperial General Staff decisively changed the previous battle plan, and the troops that landed in the southern Guangdong region on the second route were divided into several small units to carry out landing operations in all coastal cities in southern China!
Dismantle Emperor Qianlong's rule over the southern region as quickly as possible!
The commanders of this operation are Wang Gang, Zhao Xin and other veteran colonel officers of the empire, if they can win a big victory, this will be their opportunity to be promoted to brigadier general!
With the assistance of the commander-in-chief of the Fumando fleet, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places along the coast of China were successively attacked by the Han landing force at the division and regimental level!
The result of this battle that blossomed everywhere was even more terrifying than the battle situation in the Beijing-Tianjin area!
Wang Qiming's troops also had at least nearly 100,000 people, and it was normal for the Qing army to rely on advanced weapons to win by beating three times the Qing army, and the army of the Manchu Empire could also accept this result, after all, the powerful artillery and muskets that could fire continuously were almost incomprehensible to the Qing soldiers!
However, from the Manchu Emperor Qianlong to the Green Battalion Generals, they all felt that as long as the Qing army had an absolute advantage in strength and surrounded the Han army from many directions, it was still possible to win in the field!
And the Han Dynasty's flowering style of play in the southern coastal areas of China made the Qing army completely desperate!
The landing force of an independent regiment of the Han army, plus logistics men and other personnel, will definitely not exceed 5,000 people, and there are only 2 3,000 people who really go to the battlefield!
However, it was these two 3,000 people, with grenadiers, Han style and even Maxine heavy machine guns, who launched a massacre of absolute firepower superiority against the Qing army!
The numerical superiority in the eyes of the Qing army, in the face of the powerful grenadiers and Maxine heavy machine guns, only increased the results of the Han army's landing force, and had no effect!
After the Han army landed, it only took almost a day to attack the city, first the Han one-style rifle suppressed the city head, and then the grenadier troops moved forward into position, using the grenadier shells of the parabolic shooting principle to blow up the Qing army batteries and soldiers hiding behind the female wall one after another!
Subsequently, the demomen of the Han army rushed under the city gate with a large equivalent amount of yellow gunpowder explosives, lit a fire and waited for a while, and the entire city gate and the city wall above would be blown down!
The sturdy stone brick walls, in front of the explosives pack, became so fragile!
When the Qing army relied on the number of people to launch a counter-charge, it was the moment when the Maximine heavy machine gun exerted its power, and the coastal cities were hung with pigeon battle flags without any suspense......
