War is brutal.

War is also an acceleration pump for human progress.

Compared to history.

The current Qianlong is quite progressive.

Not only did he begin to seek progress in weaponry, but he also began to actively engage with Europe.

Although this kind of contact was strictly restricted by Qianlong to high-level exchanges, it was forbidden for non-governmental Han Chinese to have access to the outside world.

But this kind of prohibition was of little use to Qianlong himself—there were more than 18 million Han people in Guangdong who were not under his control, and this was something he couldn't control for the time being.

Now the Han people have got the best muskets and artillery in the world.

This Qing Dynasty can't do it if it doesn't progress.

If you don't progress, you have to die.

The new army is now part of the progress.

Now the Coated March looks very good.

Groups of line infantry with flintlock muskets walked out of the very neat line.

The queue was accompanied by large-caliber mortars and sub-cannons mounted on four-wheeled carriages.

Mortars were placed at the back of the queue.

The sub-cannon is on both sides and can fire shotguns to form crossfire.

And in front of the line infantry were skirmishers who imitated the tactics of the Ming army.

However, these skirmishers were elite archers selected from the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion - in Fukangan's opinion, archery with the archers of the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion could also play a role in harassing the enemy array.

The elite of the archers who can draw strong bows is definitely not inferior to the stragglers of the Ming army.

And on one side of the infantry formation were the cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Cavalry was the greatest weakness of the Ming army.

Fukangan believed that the cavalry would play a decisive role in the future battle with the Ming army.

Boom, boom, boom.

With the launch of the mortar cannon.

Head-sized wooden bolts were projectiled from behind the infantry column.

It was smashed more than two hundred steps away.

Immediately, there was a dull explosion.

To increase their power, these flowering bullets are also filled with iron spikes to increase fragmentation damage.

After the "mortar" has completed firing.

Fan Baoyi, who was in the infantry column, began to get nervous.

Because the next step is the three-stage strike.

It is to shoot in the front row, reload in the rear, and after the front row finishes firing, the rear row crosses the front row and shoots forward.

By taking turns shooting in this way, the horizontal team can shoot forward while shooting.

Sounds easy.

But it's quite difficult to do.

It's easy to make mistakes.

Especially sometimes a nervous one.

The stab was shot before it could be drawn.

Then you have to be pulled out and whipped.

And this flintlock pistol is not very easy to use, and there is a certain probability that it will not ignite.

If you are shooting alone, it is easy to find out if there is a fire or not.

But if it's in the middle of the army.

It's going to be a volley of guns.

At that time, there was a booming sound on the left and right, and sometimes I didn't know if I was on fire or not.

If you reload without ignition, it is easy to explode ....

As far as Fan Baoyi knows, there are several who were injured or even died because of the explosion.

Therefore, the training of this new army is really not easy.

Not to mention that training is dangerous, it is also very hard.

A little bit out of place is the whip that splits the head and covers the face.

And the tempers of the Eight Banners who are officers are not very good (can they have a good temper if they are so strict).

But Fan Baoyi was happy in his heart.

Because there are not many places in this Baoyi Army, it is not easy for me to get in.

After all, it has been done well in the Baoyi Army, but it can carry the flag.

Fan Baoyi was born as a servant of the Fan family.

It is one of the eight major families in Shanxi, Jiexiu Fan's.

Back then, he helped the Qing Dynasty enter the customs and made great contributions.

However, in the past few decades, Jiexiu Fan's family background has begun to decline.

This Jiexiu Fan was originally a copper mine and a salt seller.

By the time of Qianlong, copper mining was exhausted, and Fan's salt industry was in a recession for various reasons.

In the 48th year of Qianlong (1783), the Qing court dismissed Fan's official positions in the internal affairs government and the household department because of Fan's "deepening losses, and even the last year's miscarriage and missed classes, and he was in arrears of official items" and "the loss reached as much as 15.6 million taels", and ordered the Fan Qingji brothers to be strictly interrogated and their family property to be seized.

At this point, the imperial merchant Fan finally ended his illustrious official and business history.

Without the status of officials and businessmen, Jiexiu Fan became history.

The servants of the house were scattered.

Fan Baoyi just lost the iron rice bowl of Fan as a slave in Jiexiu.

He was lucky, though.

Now I can't be a slave to Jiexiu Fan, but I have successfully entered the Baoyi Army and become a slave to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

The fake coating is now the real one.

Fan Baoyi, who has been promoted to the class, is full of energy, just waiting for his meritorious service to be rewarded, raise the flag and become naturalized, and become the glorious master of the Eight Banners.

I don't want to be a slave of my master, I am not a good slave.

I don't want to be the coat of Eight Flags, and of course it's not a good coating.

And now Qianlong Ye, who has 50,000 good coatings, also has a smile on his face.

"Okay, that's a bit of a look! The military formation is rigorous, and the guns are sharp! Such a strict elite is enough for Guangdong! ”

Qianlong, who was watching the military formation training in the distance from the watchtower of the barracks, said with a smile.

This period of time was good news for the Qing Dynasty.

First of all, a small civil unrest set off by the White Lotus Sect bandits in Hubei Province was quickly suppressed by the Huguang side.

The second is the Ganzhou battalion, which had a small-scale battle with the Ming army, and the results this time were not so ugly.

Although the casualty ratio is still not very good, it is much better than before, and it can even fight back and forth.

And then there's the Wrapper Army.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs smoothly produced a vehicle-mounted mortar cannon named "Thunder Cannon" and a 5,000-pound long-barreled cannon named "General Jingyuan Cannon", all of which fired wooden support shells.

The Wooden Pallet was made with the help of craftsmen in England and France.

Now there is a thunder cannon nearby, and there is a general Jingyuan cannon in the distance.

Another 50,000 clothed troops were trained.

Coupled with the absolute cavalry advantage that the Qing Dynasty already had.

This time, if you fight with the reverse Ming again.

Surely it won't be so passive.

"Heshen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must hurry up the manufacture of firearms and gunpowder! I estimate that there will be a big battle with the reverse Ming this winter! ”

Qianlong put down the telescope in his hand and said.

He Shen, who was accompanying him on the side, hurriedly said: "The emperor can rest assured, the slaves will stare at the people below and hurry up to prepare." ”

"This thunder cannon and General Jingyuan's cannon are good, but they consume too much gunpowder, and after this battle, they will burn money."

Qianlong said with some distress.

Not to mention fighting.

It's also quite expensive to train.

"Fortunately, there are British and French friends to help, otherwise according to the cost of gunpowder produced in the past... This kind of battle really can't be fought. ”

Fukangan on the side shook his head and said.

"The money that should be spent still has to be spent, as long as you can eradicate the Ming Dynasty and recapture Guangdong, it is worth throwing tens of millions of taels of silver."

Of course it's worth it.

Guangdong can provide the Qing Dynasty with a small cow of 10 million silver every year.

Not to mention tens of millions of taels of silver.

That's hundreds of millions.

That's going to have to be smashed, too!

If you don't have money, you will suffer the people, and if you let the Han people endure and be patient, you will have money.

said.

Qianlong has stepped down from the high platform.

Ride a docile mare with the support of several eunuchs.

In front of the new army who had already lined up and were waiting for Qianlong's review, they slowly rode by.

The new army is clearly ready.

When Qianlong came on horseback.

They shouted in unison.

"Protect the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

"Protect the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

The neat chanting made Qianlong feel the rare happiness of the past year.

This kind of elite, 50,000 is still a little less.

But it's already usable, enough to block the reverse Ming in Guangdong.

Wait for another 50,000 coated troops.

Form an army of 100,000 coats.

Until then.

Why is it perishable?

It's August.

Wait until after the autumn harvest in September.

The new army can go south along the kernel to replenish the Ganzhou battalion.

Winter began in October, and the weather in Guangdong was dry, which was just the right time for war.

When the time comes, you can try to take Nanxiong Prefecture back.

Stick a knife in the top of the head.

Let them not sleep at night, and the soldiers and civilians will be frightened.

There is only one province in Guangdong.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were Jiangnan, Huguang, Sichuan, the Central Plains, Manchuria, Inner and Outer Mongolia, etc.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were Ming monarchs, famous generals, local tranquility, and Haiyan River Qing.

There is no sign of the country's demise.

This is to use the power of the world to hit a corner of Guangdong.

There is no reason to win!

...............

Just when the complacent Qianlong Emperor was inspecting his treasure Baoyi Army.

King Zhu Ming of the Ming Dynasty also walked at the foot of Lotus Mountain in Panyu County, Guangzhou Prefecture.

He was accompanied by Luo Xiangmei, the queen who completed the production two months ago, and Luo Fangbo, the right prime minister of the cabinet.

Luo Xiangmei gave birth to a son two months ago, named Zhu Yichi.

The successor of Ming feudalism can be regarded as a candidate.

Moreover, according to Zhu Daohua's thoughts, the emperor's succession system still chooses a relatively stable and conservative primogeniture to inherit.

In Zhu Daohua's vision of the future Ming system.

He didn't need an eloquent heir.

Because eloquence roughly means tossing, and tossing things.... Zhu Daohua plans to finish it in his own generation.

And Luo Xiangmei after giving birth.

Shi Xianggu is also pregnant.

So Luo Xiangmei followed Zhu Daohua all over Guangdong after the confinement.

Just after inspecting the horse farm in Qiongzhou Prefecture and the training of the 11th Brigade of the Ming Army, he returned to Guangdong by boat and paid a private visit to Weifu at the foot of Lianhua Mountain in Panyu County to observe the people's feelings.

The reason why the 11th Brigade of the Ming Army was placed in Qiongzhou Mansion was because the 11th Brigade was the only cavalry brigade.

The population of Qiongzhou is relatively small, with a population of about one million, and there are large areas of undeveloped territory, as well as a large number of flat places, which are suitable for large-scale horse breeding and cavalry training.

At present, the horse farm in Qiongzhou Prefecture is still in the breeding stage, and it is cross-bred with horse breeds brought back from the West and Mongolian horses bought from North Korea, Japan and other countries.

War horses are not available for the time being.

However, this does not mean that the cavalry of the Ming army cannot be handled.

China has a huge trade surplus due to the trade between the East and the West - China's exports, including tea, porcelain, silk, etc., are basically in a monopoly position in the market.

And China basically doesn't need to import any goods.

As a direct consequence, silver flowed in and stayed in China permanently.

And now the Ming Wangfu still has goods that need to be imported in the international market - such as war horses.

This allowed the businessmen from the West to see business opportunities.

Rather than shipping silver directly to China, they wanted to ship batches of commodities – historically opium.

Now no Western businessman dares to ship opium to open China's borders.

And the Ming Palace's Mansion needs war horses.

As a result, many Western businessmen saw a business opportunity.

It is to sail from Europe, full of goods, to India to unload the goods, and then buy India's local high-quality war horses to Batam, sell the war horses to the Ming Palace, and then buy tea, porcelain, lacquerware, silk, etc. from the Oriental merchants and return to Europe.

Form a big triangle of trade.

Through international trade.

Daming amassed a batch of horses that were enough to support a cavalry brigade for training.

The 11th Cavalry Brigade was also established.

Of course, these cavalry were not trained according to the Mongol style of light cavalry - King Zhu Ming did not have the talent to understand this.

So I took the training manual of the European shock cavalry, and used it after a little improvement.

In this regard, Zhu Daohua chose to believe in Napoleon - Napoleon believed that cavalry did not need too many skills, and what was the Mongol cavalry that had to shoot arrows and engage in hand-to-hand combat, Napoleon believed that it would not be of much use in the current battlefield.

The cavalry only had to do one thing well: shock!

Therefore, the cavalry of the Ming Army is completely a shock cavalry.

Equipped with cuirass, lance, and scimitar.

Take the path of rushing in a dense queue.

And after having a serviceable cavalry.

Only then did the Ming army have the capital to plot north of Guangdong.

As for attacking the Central Plains.

Then there must be at least twenty or thirty thousand horsemen.

The goal of the next stage is to take Jiangnan and Huguang.

Preparations for this are already in full swing, including the training of the army, the preparation of a sufficient number of local administrative officials, etc.

At the foot of Lotus Mountain at this time.

Most of the surrounding farmland has already been harvested.

However, Luo Fangbo, who followed Zhu Daohua, looked worried.

"My lord, after the autumn harvest this year, there have been many evictions, and many landlords have taken back their cultivated land and hired people to grow sugarcane and garlic instead."

Luo Fangbo said.

Expulsion.

It was not a very moral thing in all dynasties.

But now all over Guangdong.

There have been a number of evictions this fall.

The reason is also very simple.

Due to the industrial guidance of the Ming Wangfu and the life-sustaining water was put into mass production.

Both the sugar industry and the pharmaceutical industry have developed greatly.

This has pushed up the prices of cash crops such as sugarcane and garlic.

On the other hand, cheap rice from Annam and Lanfang poured into Guangdong, causing the price of rice to drop again and again.

This made many landlords who used to mainly give cultivated land to tenant farmers to cultivate and collect rice rents at a loss - the land tax of the Ming Dynasty was not a tax in kind, but a Ming yuan.

No one can do it at a loss.

So many landlords began to drive out tenant farmers and prepare to switch to cash crops.

This time since.

Conflicts and mass incidents due to the eviction of tenants have emerged one after another.

It is the biggest headache for the two prime ministers of the cabinet at present.

The expulsion of tenants in all dynasties is very politically incorrect.

But we, King Zhu Ming, don't seem to care much about the expulsion of tenants....

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
