"So you Europe will unite?"

The same question was asked rhetorically to Bourblon and Macartney.

The corners of Zhu Daohua's mouth showed a bit of mockery.

After receiving Kant.

Zhu Daohua also met with envoys from Britain and France.

See each other again after more than a year.

The status of the two sides is no longer at the same level at all.

When Burblon and Macartney parted ways with Zhu Daohua and went north.

Zhu Daohua still has only one Strait Governor's Office.

And now.

He already has two provinces, Guangdong and Lanfang.

The population under his rule was nearly 20 million.

That's probably twice the size of the UK's population.

At the same time, it also has the world's most advanced mechanical technology, steelmaking technology, and the largest steel output.

There are also 100,000 land forces, three naval fleets sufficient to withstand any European country.

It's already one of the strongest countries in the world.

So when Bourblon and Macartney made their claims.

Zhu Daohua was almost laughed at by the two lions.

The two demanded that the Ming Empire open the Guangdong market and allow Britain and France to negotiate the Ming tariffs, and at the same time, considering the competitiveness of the Ming export products, they also demanded that the Ming officials could come forward to purchase British and French products to balance the trade between the two sides.

When these requests are heard.

Zhu Daohua also thought that the gunboats of these two countries had already arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, and the artillery had already crossed the city wall of Guangzhou.

The two countries were later able to merge into one of the P5.

The skin is really thick.

Zhu Daohua refused on the spot.

"The eastern trade order and rules are completely protected by the Ming Dynasty, and this king advocates free trade based on the Ming trade rules!"

"So... At this stage, the stop of Western merchant ships in the Strait of Malacca is still the iron law of trade in the East! ”

"Your actions will anger all European countries, and European countries will stand together against the Ming Dynasty!"

Macartney threatened.

Zhu Daohua squinted at the two of them.

This leads to the rhetorical question: "So will you Europe unite?" ”

The faces of the two froze.

Zhu Daohua knows Europe very well.

A united Europe?

That's a joke.

Therefore, Macartney's so-called European unity against the Ming Dynasty is simply an unrealistic threat - this is the tiger flag that Britain pulled out when it did not have the confidence to face the Ming Dynasty alone.

But.

He didn't expect Zhu Daohua to give him no face at all.

Just pull this fig leaf down.

"Moreover, don't think that this king does not know the private discord between Britain and France and the Qing Empire, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty."

"If necessary, the Ming will impose trade sanctions on Britain and France! And to question the legitimacy of the British East India Company, if necessary, I can even send troops to defend the sovereignty of the countries of India and the freedom of the Indian people! ”

Isn't that a threat?

Zhu Daohua has more chips in his hand.

Macartney's face changed dramatically.

From the distance.

The South Seas are of course much closer to India than the United Kingdom is to India.

So....

If Zhu Daohua really wants to send troops to India.

It would be difficult for Britain to keep its colonies in India.

Although he knew that Zhu Daohua was a threat.

Before completely defeating the Qing Empire and winning all of China.

It is unlikely that Zhu Daohua will divide his troops to fight India and Britain.

But...

The threat is also real and not a bluff.

If Zhu Daohua's words spread to India today.

Those wealthy Indian princes are afraid that they will really pay for the Ming army to protect themselves.....

After all, compared to the British.

The Chinese seem much more civilized.

.......

Macartney and Bourblon were unable to get any of the benefits they hoped for from the Ming.

And they also confirmed a little ....

Zhu Daohua's Ming Empire is indeed no longer something that European countries thousands of miles away can handle.

This country is in no way less powerful than any European power.

And even more.

At the same time, I didn't get any trade benefits.

Zhu Daohua also said that trade in Batam is still "free".

He also believed that Britain and France should also open their trade ports to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the current Ming merchants did not have the ability to sail to Europe for trade.

But this did not prevent Zhu Daohua from taking precautions.

And not long after Macartney and Bourblon came out of the Ming Palace.

Jinyiwei's northern intelligence came.

Qianlong had already led his 50,000 Baoyi Army, the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion, the 20,000 Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry, and the 10,000 Sauron Cavalry to the south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

If nothing else.

The Qing Empire planned to make the first move and set off a major war.

......

"The 50,000 newly trained Baoyi Army should be much stronger in combat effectiveness than the Qing army encountered in Guangdong before. There is also the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion, which is the elite of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Battalion, all of whom are selected from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who are good at archery and melee fighting. In addition, there were 20,000 Mongolian cavalry, 10,000 Sauron cavalry, a total of 80,000 troops, led by Qianlong himself, to the south, the destination was Jiangning Mansion! ”

"And Qianlong also brought most of the important officials of his imperial court to Jiangning Mansion this time, and it seems that he is ready to fight for a long time in the south."

"Brought 80,000 troops from Beijing, and Qianlong also ordered Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Fujian and Zhejiang and other places to select elite green battalion soldiers to go to Nanchang Prefecture, thinking that He Lin was the general and built the Nanchang battalion, which seemed to be to use the Yangtze River waterway to mobilize soldiers and horses to support the Ganzhou battalion."

"The Qing court garrisoned Ganzhou, Nanchang, and Jiangning in the south, among which the Ganzhou battalion was mainly composed of Liangguang, Yunnan-Guizhou, and Huguang green battalions, with 60,000 troops, and five thousand Han army eight banner vests, and three thousand Beijing battalions and eight banners from Eredengbao, and Agui took three thousand eight banners as generals to rectify the green battalions in the three places. The total strength is about 70,000"

The Nanchang battalion took the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, the Sichuan Green Battalion, and the Fujian-Zhejiang Green Battalion as the main force, and mobilized 6,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners stationed in Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Jingzhou, and Xi'an. ”

"Jiangning Mansion is also preparing for the arrival of Qianlong's army, according to the current transfer situation, the Qing court's Jiangning battalion has 80,000 Beijing soldiers, and Liangjiang and Zhili have transferred 50,000 green battalions, with a total strength of 130,000!"

"The three battalions have more than 200,000 troops, and the Qing court also vigorously recruited and sent laborers to supplement the three battalions in Huguang and Sichuan, and also recruited a large number of civilian ships to block the mouth of the Yangtze River with iron cables and batteries, and it seems that it is also preventing our navy from entering the mouth of the Yangtze River to cut off the connection between the three battalions."

In front of a huge battle map.

Ye Tenghui, a young staff officer and the eldest son of Ye Daoqi, the head of the Lan Fang Ye family, was briefing the congregation on the situation of the Qing army.

"200,000 troops, three large battalions, and the mouth of the Yangtze River has also been blocked, it seems that the Qing Tartars are ready for a big battle!"

"The big battle is good! If the first war cripples these 200,000 troops, then the Qing court will have to retreat to Manchuria if it wants to survive!!"

The brigade commanders and brigade chiefs of staff present discussed it.

Zhao Si looked at the troop information in his hand, but shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Qianlong Lao'er is still fighting with the idea of using the green battalion to consume, although he dispatched the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion and 30,000 cavalry this time, and also added thousands of Eight Banner military attaches to the Ganzhou battalion and the Nanchang battalion. ”

"But... Counting, the total strength of the Eight Banners he dispatched was only 50,000. ”

"You must know that there are more than one million people in the Manchurian Banner alone, and the Eight Banners in Beijing can mobilize more than 100,000. If Qianlong Lao'er really worked hard, he would not have only taken 50,000 eight flags south. ”

Zhao Si's words fell.

Zhang Hong, the secretary of the Admiralty, shook his head again and again: "Where will Qianlong Lao'er press all the Eight Banners strong men, it is already terrible to be able to come to 50,000, this time I can leave the lives of these tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, and then take down the territory south of the Yangtze River, and rectify it for a year or two, what else can this Qing Tartar resist?" ”

Zhu Daohua nodded: "It is impossible to let Qianlong bring all the Eight Banners soldiers, 50,000 Eight Banners, hundreds of thousands of Green Battalions, and hundreds of thousands of people, just this will soon make the Qing Tartars empty their families." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Napoleon.

"Does the staff have any plans?"

Napoleon heard the words and walked to the map.

"The current plan is to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to break through the Ganzhou camp, along the Ganjiang River into the Yangtze River, to capture Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, all the way to the north along the coastal road, directly from the waterway into the Yangtze River."

"At present, 60,000 troops are stationed in Nanxiong Prefecture, and more than 1,000 cadets from the sixth and seventh phases of the Army and Navy Officer Academy have also been transferred over to facilitate the expansion of the army on the spot. At present, the material aspects are transported along the Beijiang River, and it is necessary to cross Meiling to reach Ganzhou, and the cost of material transportation is too high compared with that of waterways. ”

"Therefore, the army of the other road needs the cooperation of the navy to control the Yangtze River waterway and cut off the connection between Jiangning and Nanchang and Ganzhou,"

Zhu Daohua held the map on his head.

This plan looks a bit risky.

The troops attacked in two ways, and one was to directly bypass Fujian and Zhejiang and attack the mouth of the Yangtze River.

However, the goal of the next stage is to take all the south of the Yangtze River, which is a plan that has been made for a long time.

The next step is to allocate troops and materials according to this goal.

"60,000 troops from the West Route Army and 30,000 troops from the East Route Army.... This is an army of 90,000, and the amount of food and ammunition that needs to be consumed is not a small amount, and hiring at least 200,000 civilians to accompany the army is not a small consumption. ”

Leaving 10,000 troops on the Guangdong side is enough to control the situation.

This time, the newly formed army of 100,000 troops directly dispatched 90,000.

Zhu Daohua looked at Luo Fangbo.

"How long does it take to prepare a year's worth of food and ammunition for an army of 90,000 and 200,000 people?"

Luo Fangbo has long had a plan for this,

"Your Majesty, the rice harvests in Annan and Lanfang this year are abundant, and counting the transportation time, we will be able to stock up enough food to consume around November this year, and there will be no problems with ammunition, and the speed of production will be enough to catch up with consumption."

November...

Zhu Daohua nodded slightly.

"How are the preparations for the imperial examination?"

"It's all been arranged, and there have been many young scholars from Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan recently, and I think they should all be included as appropriate."

If you want to take all the south of the Yangtze River, you must not only prepare a large army and materials.

Administrative cadres also have to prepare and plan in advance.

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.
