A.D. 1793.

August of the second year of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Daohua, the son of the Great Tomorrow, officially paid tribute to the Taimiao Temple and issued a message, announcing that he would lead a million troops to sweep the north and restore Liao, in order to avenge the national hatred and family hatred for more than 100 years.

The next day, he led 12,000 guards of the Son of Heaven, left Emperor Ying's city, boarded the ship and went east, inspected the first batch of more than 30,000 people from the first ten brigades to Liaodong in Songjiang Mansion, and personally led more than 40,000 people to sail north by boat, aiming at Port Arthur!

Such a big move on the side of the Ming Dynasty is naturally impossible to carry out silently.

Don't say anything else.

It will take several days just to prepare the military supplies of the more than 40,000 troops to board the ship, plus the army to board the ship, how can it take more than ten days to be fully prepared, and now although the Ming Dynasty has a steamer.

However, due to the limited voyage, this kind of cross-sea expedition still uses sailing ships.

Sailing ships have to wait for the time to go to sea, depending on the weather.

Otherwise, if the army encounters extreme weather such as typhoons on the road, won't it be the end of the calf?

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty publicly announced that it would sweep the north and restore Liao, and the Great Tomorrow would personally conquer Liaodong.

In the imperial palace in Beijing, Qianlong's Manchurian ministers were already arguing indiscriminately.

The Qianlong Emperor, who was pale and looked thinner and thinner, felt a faint pain in his head as if a gust of wind could blow it away, and what gave him even more headache was that the officials wearing flower feathers below were arguing.

"The land of the ancestors of Manchuria must not be abandoned, and the troops should be sent out immediately to reinforce Liaodong! Fight against the Ming Dynasty in the homeland! ”

"No! Cannot! Manchuria is barren, the army is out of the customs, where will the grain and grass materials come from? ”

"Desirable North Korea!"

"North Korea is narrow, there are many people, and the people are poor, how can it be able to support the material materials of the army? What's more, North Korea is a foreign vassal and persecution is excessive, so if North Korea is attached to the Ming Dynasty, won't it make the situation even more difficult? ”

"When the army is out of the customs, how can Beijing defend it? The army of bandits is on the verge of being in Zhili! ”

Several ministers such as He Shen, He Lin, Ah Gui, and Le Bao were arguing.

The current situation of the Qing Dynasty is really terrible.

The million-eight banners in Beijing are a bit of a sad city.

To the south is the aggressive army of the Kingdom of Heaven.

To the north is the elite of the Ming army who swore to sweep the north and restore Liao and take revenge.

This is under the attack of the north and the south.

The fate of the Qing Dynasty has reached the point of crumbling.

The current Qing Dynasty has also come to the time of fate.

Do you want to stick to the Central Plains, or retreat to Shengjing?

Can the Central Plains be held?

Can Shengjing hold on?

If you don't keep both places..... Where is Daqing going?

Do you want to flee to the steppe?

What do you eat and drink on the grassland?

And more than 100 years of pampering.

Can the children of the Eight Banners still endure this hardship?

Perhaps the only good news now is that the bandits are blocking the way to the north.

And the actions of the bandits could not be supported by the gentry.

Therefore, now the gentry of Zhili and Shandong still support the Qing Dynasty.

And in order to block the bandits.

The gentry of the two places can be said to have the money to contribute and the power to contribute.

Organize regimental training with the army.

Especially in the Zhili Guangping Mansion and Shunde Mansion adjacent to Henan, the local gentry have formed villages to protect themselves.

With high walls and hard walls, it is not easy for this heavenly army to fight all the way.

And the Qing Dynasty had a lot of soldiers and horses in Zhili.

Zhili has always been the focus of the Qing army's defense.

After Zhu Ming and the White Lotus Sect started one after another.

The Qing court has strengthened the defense of Zhili, and now the governor of Zhili is the general A Gui, and the green battalion of Zhili has Tianjin, Zhengding, Xuanhua, Malan, Daming, Taining, Tongyong Seven Towns General Soldiers, plus the governor of Zhili, the regular Qing Dynasty soldiers, there are more than 60,000 people.

Besides.

During these times, Ah Gui recruited more than 50,000 people to train in Zhili, with a total strength of 110,000.

But even so, whether the Qing Dynasty can hold the Zhili is still doubtful.

Fortunately, the people's hearts here in Zhili are not as fluctuating as in the south, and most of the local gentry support the Qing Dynasty.

And it wasn't Zhu Ming who came, but a bandit.

If it is Zhu Ming, everyone will surrender and have a place to live.

However, the bandits are a militaristic state that has made a hole in it, and what they practice is the military merit field system based on the feudal field manor.

They are here to rob them of their land wealth, to raise their soldiers, and to reward them for their military exploits.

How can they surrender?

So this time.

The gentry from all over the country have organized themselves to be brave, and the local forts have also been built to clear the wilderness.

Cities and cities in various places have entered a state of imminent war, and villages around the country have also begun to dig deep trenches and build high walls of cubs.

In addition, the Qing court sent Ah Gui to sit in Zhili, and Ah Gui had 110,000 soldiers on hand.

It can also be unified in dispatching and commanding all the townships.

If the Heavenly Kingdom Army wants to run rampant in Zhili, where the Qing Dynasty has a very strong force, it will not be so easy.

However, if they want to use 110,000 regular troops and an unknown number of gentry to fight against the bandits who claim to be one million, the actual number may be no less than three or four hundred thousand.

It is impossible to completely keep them out of the country.

And there's one more thing that is a real headache.

That is, the luck is broken.

The Qing Dynasty lost the grain of the south.

Now grain from the south cannot be brought in.

The Qing court had no choice but to let Shandong, Zhili, and Shanxi provinces raise grain and grass for military needs.

The grain levy target of Zhili Province alone is two million stones!

To know.

In this era, Zhili is actually the historical land of Hebei, after thousands of years of reclamation, in this era without chemical fertilizers, the output of such over-cultivated barren land has been very small.

The large-scale forcible requisition of grain is afraid of provoking a popular uprising.

Even more troublesome.

The autumn harvest hasn't started yet.

Hundreds of thousands of bandits are already at the border of Zhili, and if they enter Zhili, they will not be able to harvest this year's autumn grain.

Even Shandong's grain may not be harvested.

When the time comes, don't say it's munitions.

In this city of Beijing, whatever the millions of hardcore crops that are not produced can make the Qing court die of headaches.

Now it seems that the dead end for the Qing Dynasty is a bit too much.

The first is starvation due to lack of food.

The second is to be killed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom breaking the city of Beijing.

The third is to be forced to death by the Ming army from the Liaoxi Corridor.

Especially now the number of flag men in Beijing is a bit too much.

Once Beijing is surrounded, then Manchuria is in danger of being slaughtered.

Although Qianlong had a headache at this time.

But I also know that it is powerful.

Compared with a fortified city, this million or so Eight Banner Nation is the foundation.

When a person dies, there's nothing left.

But now the Ming army has landed in Liaodong.

Where else can this Qing Dynasty go?

Decisive battle in Beijing?

You can't fight a decisive battle, you can't fight hard.

Qianlong thought to himself.

But one or two of the ministers who are now debating it are not mentioning the plan to abandon Beijing.

This made Qianlong anxious.

I'm not Chongzhen.

What are you two afraid of?

It's really worrying.

Do you want me to propose to evacuate Beijing?

Do you want your name behind you?

Why don't you pass the throne to Yongyan now and let him carry this pot?

The fifteenth elder brother, who was standing next to Qianlong and was waiting carefully, had a cold back and shivered.

At this time, Ah Gui came out to speak.

"Your Majesty, now that the Qing Dynasty has reached the autumn of life and death, the eight banners must cheer up, and now we have to fight in Liaodong on the one hand, and the Central Plains on the other hand, it is not enough to rely on the current troops, we still have to expand the eight banners as much as possible!"

Gui suggested.

Qianlong nodded and said, "Expanding the Eight Banners is indeed a way!" ”

He Shen, He Lin and others looked at each other.

Expand the Eight Banners, how to expand?

Looking at the conversation between the emperor and Ah Gui, it seems that the two have discussed it in private.

Now it's just a matter of bringing it up publicly.

This Southern Ming Dynasty opened the parliament, and the Kingdom of Heaven carried out the military reform of the military merit field system.

This Qing Dynasty can't be left behind.

However, of course, the Qing Dynasty could not hold a parliament, nor could it engage in any government soldiers.

Rather, it is necessary to carry out a reform of the "Great Eight Banners" plan.

It is necessary to consolidate and strengthen the Eight Banners military system.

On the one hand, it is necessary to mobilize the existing Manchuria and Mongolian Eight Banners, and include all the strong men of the banners in training and organize a large army.

On the other hand, it is necessary to expand the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and include some local armed forces in Zhili and Shandong into the ranks of the Eight Banners and give them banner status.

Prior to this, the Qing Dynasty had been weakening the Eight Banners Army, and by the late Qianlong Dynasty, the number of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was not much - after all, the Qing Dynasty's finances could not support it if they had to raise so many hardcore crops.

But now the Qing Dynasty has no choice, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty must be expanded, otherwise how can the enthusiasm of the Han soldiers be mobilized?

Besides.

It is also necessary to expand a back to the Eight Banners.

It is to go to the northwest to recruit back to enter the flag.

In a vain attempt to pass such a reform.

Restore the Eight Banners military system that integrates soldiers and the people, and restore the era when the Eight Banners were invincible in the world.

Although this idea is very unrealistic.

But now the Qing Dynasty has no other way.

They had to expand their base to confront Zhu Ming and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this meeting.

Qianlong set a plan to expand the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, recruit back the Eight Banners, and rectify the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia.

The strong men of Manchuria and Mongolia in Beijing were mobilized to join the army, and the old and weak were also organized into battalions.

Pose like you want to work hard in the capital.

But some Manchu and Han officials with a keen sense of smell have begun to realize.

Emperor Qianlong was ready to abandon Beijing and leave.

Frankly.

After receiving the news, many Manchurian nobles were greatly relieved.

If Qianlong really wants to die in the capital, it will be to put the fate of the entire Manchurian clan on the gambling table.

And it looks almost impossible to win.

However, Qianlong didn't want to fight a decisive battle in the capital, worried about the risk of exterminating the clan - if he fought in the capital, he could only win and not lose, and if he lost, he would not only lose the country, but also be exterminated.

And Qianlong himself can't leave, otherwise the emperor Lao Tzu will run away, and the soldiers below will still have the determination to fight to the death?

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the emperor to run away and the national capital can still be kept.

Therefore, Qianlong will not leave the capital as a last resort.

But it can't be a decisive battle in the capital.

Therefore, the current way is to fight in Henan and Zhili.

If you lose on the Henan-Zhili battlefield, you can afford to lose - to be exact, there is time to run away.

But after the battles of Henan and Zhili, what should the Ming army in Liaodong do?

This is also something that Qianlong has to deal with in front of him.

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.
