Chapter 409: Replace one
In the sixty-first year of the Han Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Empire, Dagukou in Tianjin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the dock fort, several soldiers of the green battalion on duty were facing the sea and basking in the sun.
"I'm afraid it won't be long before we're so comfortable."
"Oh? What inside information did Brother Zhao get? Could it be that an adult is going to come and inspect it? ”
"Yes, these officials have to toss us hard every time they inspect, and we, the customs guards, are about to become the officials and masters!"
"Cut, just do you return the family? They call us slaves! ”
That Brother Zhao waved his hand, and the complaints among the soldiers suddenly stopped, and it can be seen that Brother Zhao has a good prestige among these soldiers.
"This time, it's not that the adults above have come down to inspect, but that a few foreign businessmen have offended Lord Governor a few days ago!"
"Governor...... Lord Governor?! My mother, is it the red-haired ghost who came to do business for the first time? ”
"How can there be red-haired ghosts to do business now, I heard that there are not many red-haired ghosts in Guangdong, and the place where the red-haired ghosts live seems to be at war, and no one has the heart to do business......"
"What's the matter? The more wars there are, the more ruthless the businessmen make money! ”
"You don't have to guess, these stunned young people who offended Lord Governor are the same as us, they are Han people, it seems that a group of Han people have built a country overseas, and they also threatened Lord Governor in person, and the arrogant attitude of those businessmen has spread throughout the whole city of Tianjin!"
"Then aren't these stunned young people alive?"
"That's natural, they were put on death row by Lord Governor that day, you see, it won't be long before they come out without even looking like people."
"Brother Zhao, I don't understand, it's just a few bold foreign businessmen, what does it have to do with us?"
"It's just because he's a foreign businessman that he's in trouble! The Han Empire that was locked up seems to have issued some ultimatum to Lord Dufu, and the matter seems to have been quite big, and it has been stabbed to the emperor, and we should be about to be under martial law here. ”
As Brother Zhao spoke, he suddenly noticed that the expressions of the brothers in front of him were not quite right, and he frowned and turned around to look at them......
When the long ~~~
I don't know if it was the green battalion soldier who was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and even his weapon fell to the ground!
Brother Zhao and the others were guarding the highland post behind a vast shoal, and with a wide field of vision, they happened to see several giant sail battleships, a steady stream of small boats similar to primitive landing craft rowing onto the shallows, and a group of soldiers wearing black standing military uniforms and black brimmless tall hats on their heads were holding weapons similar to bird guns, busy lining up!
A strange flag was planted high in the shallows, and a dove was painted holding a branch......
Since the Han Imperial Army changed to a single soldier equipped with a large number of grenades, the wide-brimmed boat-shaped three-cornered hat was replaced by a brimmed tall cap, the reason is very simple, not that Zhao Du Tiantu is good-looking, but to prevent soldiers from throwing grenades, blocked by the brim of the soldiers in front, which is a fatal mistake!
Naturally, European countries have long changed to high hats, although the styles are different, but they are all borderless, and they look quite spiritual......
"Brother Zhao, should we come forward and ask? The person on the other side seems to be a foreign army......"
Brother Zhao slapped the stunned young man who spoke out fiercely, and reprimanded: "You are stupid!" There are less than ten of us, and there are at least hundreds of people who have landed on the opposite side, go back quickly, and light the wolf smoke, these people are not good, something big has happened! ”
"Brother Zhao, it's not good, there are more than a dozen of them touching it!"
Brother Zhao looked back and said with relief: "It's okay, the other party is still hundreds of meters away, brother has a few quick moves, and we will survive when we return to the fort!" ”
As soon as Brother Zhao's words fell, their original wooden shelf post was suddenly blown away by several grenades!
This is the landing Han soldiers shelling with grenadiers......
Brother Zhao and his entourage couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and they couldn't help but be glad that they and the others had found a sheltered place under the mountain wall for convenience, otherwise......
"My mother-in-law, the red-clothed cannons on the other side have been transported?"
"You stupid! The other party has obviously just landed, where did the red-coated cannon come from? ”
Brother Zhao looked at the small team in the distance, fiddling with a few small objects on the ground, and muttered to himself: "It's not a red-clothed cannon, but something more terrifying......
In the end, Brother Zhao and his party still managed to escape, after all, their position was still far away from the shallows, and with the power of those artillery bombing posts, how fast did these green battalion soldiers run......
On the second day of Brother Zhao and his entourage, on the Dagukou Fort, the garrisoned Manchu Green Battalion gathered thousands of people with super high efficiency!
Unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was widely believed in later generations, the Manchu Empire did not pay attention to the research and development of firearms, not the use of firearms!
The Bird Gun, which was modified from the Franco-Rang Arquebus, had a terrifying high deployment rate in the Green Battalion of the Manchu Empire!
Except for the green battalion in the interior, which has completely degenerated into a security force, the soldiers of the green battalion in the coastal areas are almost all hand-armed with a bird's hand!
Of course, the Green Battalion soldiers will also be equipped with broadswords and spears, but they are far less than the equipping rate of the Bird Guns!
As the Manchu Empire became more and more stable, the speed of corruption of the Green Battalion soldiers was comparable to that of the children of the Eight Banners.
In the battle to suppress the Hui and the White Lotus Sect, these Green Battalion soldiers, who were at least regular troops, were shocked when they were rushed up to hand-to-hand combat by those mud-legged mobs wielding knives and guns......
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion have no courage to cut people face to face, but they are quite brave to shoot with a bird gun from a distance!
Because of the long-distance shooting, the commander of the green battalion can press the formation very well, and the soldiers of the green battalion are under the pressure of their superiors, and the formation does not move at all, and the fight is called a hot ......
The Manchu Empire was relieved to see that the decaying Green Battalion soldiers were still fighting with bird guns, and simply directly equipped the Green Battalion with a large number of cheap bird guns, as for the Han people who rebelled when they mastered firearms, it was just nonsense for later generations, whether the people of a country want to rebel or not, not in the advanced weapons, but in the ideology and system!
The Manchu Empire collapsed, not because of the massive influx of firearms, but because of the prestige and cheekiness of the Manchu Empire, which was pressed to the ground by various powers and rubbed dozens of back and forth!
Therefore, when the vanguard regiment of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force came to the Dagukou Fort, it saw groups of officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion who were completely firearmed......
