The nineteenth day of the lunar month.

It is advisable to move, enter the house, put on the beam, and travel; Avoid marriage and break melons.

From Chongzhou to Meinuo Village, you have to pass through four posts and eighteen cards, of which Guanyin Bridge Station is only more than 40 miles away from the next military post Tun Ancient Village, but it takes at least two days to arrive.

There is no other reason, sheep intestine trails, over the mountains and mountains.

After Jia Liuyi and his entourage set off from Chongzhou, they found that the road was full of grain transporters from all over the country, including those from Sichuan, from neighboring Huguang, Guizhou, and even Shaanxi.

These people from the surrounding provinces of Sichuan, including the local Sichuan, used various means of transportation such as chicken carts, wheelbarrows, ox carts, and horse-drawn carts to transport the food and materials needed by the Jinchuan frontline army one by one like ants.

The scene is quite shocking.

It's really three more.

More manpower was mobilized, more grain was requisitioned, and more materials were allocated.

The traffic and crowds are not enough to describe the scene Jia Liu saw.

It is no wonder that most of Qianlong's "Ten Complete Martial Arts" have won, and this competition is not only about national strength, but also about unprecedented mobilization ability!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if Chongzhen had the mobilization ability of the Qing Dynasty, it would not be said that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Nurhachi, and Hong Tai would send Jia Liu over, and it is estimated that it would also be the fate of the prisoner car to relieve Beijing.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the tenacity of the anti-Qing Dynasty in Jinchuan and the tragedy of the war.

With one or two counties against the Qing Dynasty, which reached its peak of centralization in the feudal era, what kind of people can hold on.

On the way, there were also a large number of Qing troops to go to the Meinuo official village, according to the news from Jia Liutao, this time Wenfu used troops in two general directions.

The first is the main force of the Northern Route Army led by Wen Fu himself.

The second is the main force of the Southern Route Army led by A Gui.

The main Qing army of the two roads is nearly 50,000 elite soldiers, and there are several other roads such as Fukangan, Hailancha, Dong Tianbi, Fengsheng, and Ha Guoxing.

The total number of troops added up to more than seventy or eighty thousand as Alan Bao said.

If these people who were responsible for transporting rice and grain were included, together with the rest of the forces, the manpower used by the Qing court in Jinchuan this time would probably be more than 300,000.

However, the larger the scale, the more cowardly Jia Liu.

Although he didn't know exactly when the Jinchuan War would end, it was certainly not this year.

Therefore, a dog and a dog, save his strength, so that he can serve the Qing Dynasty more effectively.

Otherwise, how can I fulfill my great dreams, and by the way, restore my reputation for Jahan as an old thief.

With the path of Hezhongtang, Jia Liu would never risk his life, he was hot-blooded and impulsive, thinking that he was invulnerable and took shit luck.

........

It took three days to reach the Guanyin Bridge Station, and before he could enter the station, Jia Liu saw a suspension bridge in front of him.

On the opposite side of the suspension bridge stands a very tall stone fort, which is probably the legendary Jinchuan stone block.

After handing over with the officials of the Guanyin Bridge Post and settling his team, Jia Liu asked the post station to send someone to accompany him to the stone bunker under the pretext of coming to the front line for the first time.

During the Yongzheng period, it was stipulated that the banner man was not allowed to be a post officer, so the post man of Guanyin Bridge Station was a Han man named Sun Tong, and he was an eight-rank official, where did he dare to snub the Jia master of the Eight Banner Army.

And the flag official was originally more noble than the Han official.

The nine-rank Lan Ling didn't even have to pay attention to the seven-rank green camp leader.

is really an equal, and the officials of the green battalion are regarded as officials, do you still want the face of the flag man? Do you want the face of the imperial court?

Jia Liuzhen was polite to an eight-grade post man, which simply shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

Sun Tong immediately sent a post guard to lead Jia Liuyi to the stone block.

On the way, according to the post guard, when the Qing army did not capture this place last year, there were more than 80 soldiers stationed in this stone fort, and as a result, these 80 or so people simply blocked the repeated attacks of more than 10,000 Qing troops for more than a month, without a single casualty, and finally they were forced to withdraw because of the exhaustion of food and grass.

The Qing army lost more than 700 deaths.

Jia Liu was secretly shocked when he heard this, if this casualty ratio is true, this Jinchuan is simply a meat grinder for the Qing army.

Arrived at the fort, Jia Liu looked up, the visual inspection of the fort is about fifteen or sixteen meters high, the bottom is very wide and the top is very narrow, divided into five layers, each layer has a shooting hole, combined with the special geographical advantage of Guanyin Bridge, the typical easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The postman said that this was still the periphery, and the further you went, the more the stone fort became.

Some dangerous places are even more than a dozen or even dozens. The watchtowers and the watchtowers cooperate with each other to form the watchtower group, and the Fan army hides in it and shoots the Qing soldiers condescendingly with a shotgun.

If the Qing soldiers wanted to take it, they could only take their lives, because none of the previous fires and shelling worked.

How to pile up?

Jia Liu walked around the stone fort and vaguely understood the value of the cloud ladder soldier Jianrui battalion built by Qianlong.

The simulated battle scene in my mind is that countless Qing soldiers are forced by Shangguan to wear double armor and hold shields, carry a cloud ladder more than ten meters long and brave the guns of the Baozhong army to approach, take a ladder, and quickly climb up to the top of the fort with vigorous movements, and then go down from top to bottom.

Otherwise, it is impossible to break the fort.

The second is to build a giant cannon.

But looking at this terrain, even if the Qing army can build a huge cannon and use it in warfare, it will have to be protracted.

Qianlong was anxious to extinguish the flames of anti-Qing restoration in Jinchuan, repeatedly killed defeated generals, and did not hesitate to use troops in Jinchuan, and the final result was that he had not taken this place for nearly 30 years.

After leading the people to the fort, they saw that the walls and stairs of the fort were covered with blood stains that had turned black. There were also craters that had been smashed by shells in many places, but they could not defend this strong stone fort for half a minute.

Seeing that a stone was a little loose, Jia Liu pushed it hard, but it didn't move.

Let Yang Yuchun push it, and it fell down, but it had no effect on the surrounding stones.

If you look closely, the glue between the stones seems to be glutinous rice juice.

"Originally, there were stone towers in this place, for thousands of years, but there were not many. After the rebellion, those fake Han people helped them build these stone towers, and taught them how to put guns in the stone towers and use beacon towers..."

This is the second time Jia Liu has heard the statement of "fake Han", and he instinctively thought of the scene on the execution ground in Chongzhou City that day.

Wrong, wrong...

This year is the 126th year of the Ming Dynasty...

The descendants of the Han family...

"Hey, there is still an offering table here, I don't know which way the thief is offering immortals, it will not be for the second master.."

On the third floor, Yang Zhi found an offering table that had fallen to the ground and was about to fall apart, with traces of incense and candles on the wall.

Jia Liu came up from the stairs.

"I've heard people say that there was an offering here, but it's not Guan Erye, it's Emperor Zhu... It's not the thieves, it's the fake Han people, what are you talking about anti-Qing and Ming restoration, hey, we Han people have only had the Qing Emperor since ancient times, where did Emperor Zhu come from, and where did he come from the Ming Dynasty, it's really a lie..."

The postman's mouth is broken.

"Have you read a book?"

"Back to adults, the small family is poor, how can there be conditions for the little one to study."

"No wonder."

Jia Liu smiled and climbed straight down the stairs to the top of the fort.

Surrounded by mountains in the distance, the road between the peaks curves like a long snake, and rare stone towers loom in the mist.
