Chapter 178, the Battle of the South Seas, the Land Battle of Northern Liao.

Sou!

An arrow is fired.

A carrier pigeon through the air.

In this day and age.

Carrier pigeons are the fastest means of long-distance communication.

A carrier pigeon can travel thousands of kilometers to communicate.

Of course.

The security and stability of this means of communication are difficult to guarantee.

After all, in the process of flying thousands of kilometers.

Hunters and birds of prey are threats to carrier pigeons.

But it's not unsolvable.

That is, to release more carrier pigeons.

Pigeons land from the air.

A lean man quickly pounced, grabbed the pigeon in his hand, and took out the letterhead carried by the pigeon.

"Sure enough, it's for the British!"

"What's the message?"

"The Daming Expeditionary Force boarded the ship, and thirty-six warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet poured out."

"Did you spot the turtle?"

"Not on the letterhead! Need to smash this den? ”

"It's more useful to keep it!"

After a brief conversation between the two brocade guards, their figures disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile.

More than 200 miles away from the Strait of Malacca, on the vast ocean.

Twelve Wei-class ironclad ships sailed quietly under the tow of twelve three-masted Daifuku ships.

Twelve Wei-class ironclads departing from a secret port.

Codename: Turtle!

.........

India.

Calcutta.

The warm sun shone on the center of British Indian domination,

The Hooghly, a tributary of the Ganges, the mother river of Indian civilization, runs through the city.

Thanks to the warm and humid climate of South Asia.

The Hooghly River has a large runoff and a well-developed shipping system.

On both sides of the sparkling river, you can find a variety of handicraft factories.

The Ganges Valley gave birth to a well-developed agricultural civilization.

It is the birthplace of the four original ancient civilizations of mankind, but now it has become a field of invasion visited by the great powers in turn. To exit the transcoding page, please download the app to read the latest chapters.

No one knows what the ancient Indian civilization really looked like.

The indigenous people who created this splendid ancient civilization, the Dravidian people of India, are mostly of the lower castes, even "untouchables".

And later rulers.

The Aryans, Persians, Turks, and Mongols were all now the rulers of the upper castes of India.

So sometimes you can even tell the caste from the color of your skin – in India, the darker the skin, the higher the probability of being a lower caste, and conversely, the whiter the skin, the more likely you are to be a high caste.

The British at this time in the Governor's House of Calcutta.

According to the standards of India's white and black cheap.

It should also belong to... High caste, right?

It's just that the colonists who came to India now are not the same as the invaders who invaded India in history.

They do not seek to rule India directly, to be the lord of the Indian people.

but for money.

They did not send any officials, but ruled as much as possible with Indian compradors.

At this time in the Governor's House in Kolkata.

The new Viceroy of India, Richard Brown, has just taken office. Wellesley got the news that made the British in India, including him, so shocked that cold sweats broke out on their backs.

The Ming Empire has sent an army of 70,000 men and is ready to land in India!

The first batch of 10,000 troops, on more than 170 galleons, under the escort of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Ming Empire, rushed straight to India!

The friction between the two sides over the cotton market has now rapidly expanded to a full-scale confrontation between the two sides in the South Asian subcontinent.

Even when I came to India.

William Jr. Both Prime Minister Pitt and the Cabinet have envisaged such a scenario.

But when the Ming Empire really decided to occupy India by force.

Richard. Wellesley also seemed a little scrambling.

and such a great empire in the South Asian subcontinent.

Britain had no advantage at all.

This is especially true if the Chinese are given a solid foothold in the South Asian subcontinent.

It's not just a comparison of the strengths of the two countries – it's distance.

Europe is too far away.

And Daming is too close.

"We need to be ready to fight the Chinese on land!"

The commander of the 73rd Mountain Division, Arthur. Wellesley said.

By this time.

The younger brother of the Indian governor, who was regarded as an aristocratic tyrant, was more relaxed.

"We now have two divisions of 18,000 troops, which is an unprecedented garrison force in India, and we can also call in 3,000 Gurkha cavalry, 7,000 Punjabi cavalry, 6,000 Sikh cavalry, 10,000 Bengali light cavalry, 30,000 Bengali infantry, a total strength of more than 74,000 people, and we can also recruit Indian mercenaries to fight! On land, we don't need to fear the Chinese at all. ”

Arthur. Wellesley said.

"Why do we want to fight on land?" Nelson shook his head and said, "Such a large fleet expedition, just annihilate them at sea!" ”

"Are you sure?" Richard asked.

"If the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet has only thirty-six main bombardment gunboats, then we have absolute certainty of defeating them!"

Vice Admiral Nelson said confidently.

"The Chinese have already sorted, and our warships should also leave the port!"

Nelson stood up.

"This is a new era of maritime warfare, and the victory of this war will once again establish the British Empire's maritime supremacy in the world!"

"If we win, then the Ming Emperor will have to accept the treaty we want them to sign."

"What if I lose?" Arthur. Wellesley asked.

Nelson looked at Arthur. Wellesley glanced at it and frowned.

...........

In the Indian Ocean, when two huge fleets are heading towards each other.

At the same time.

In the wee hours of the morning, it was just dawning.

An army of thousands rolled north.

This is the marching column of the Third Army of the Liaodong Theater of the Ming Army.

The target is Haicheng, which is located on the banks of the Shahe River.

Haicheng is in the south of Liaoyang, Haicheng, the Ming army can go straight to Liaoyang, the important town of Qing Tartar Shengjing, Liaoyang, Fengtiancheng is at the mouth of the Ming army.

At this time.

Ride south.

The knight on horseback is very young.

He was only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

But on his shoulders he already carried the rank of captain.

He fought all the way south.

Along the way, the infantry lined up on both sides of the road, while in the middle were artillery drawn by horses, and mounted infantry dismounted on foot, leading their horses forward.

One corps, three brigades, fifteen thousand people.

There are infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, baggage and other arms.

This army was newly formed.

An army brigade was incorporated from the south and the sea, and the garrison of the Liaodong Reclamation Division was organized into a brigade, and a brigade was also transferred from the Liaodong Military Tun.

Before the flotilla of the Great Tomorrow arrived at the mouth of Arthur, an army brigade that had arrived in advance had already arrived in Gaizhou City.

Peng Jun, the head of the Liaodong Reclamation Division, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Front Army.

Peng Jun was originally a civilian, but after he was transferred to the head of the Liaodong Reclamation Division, he had to manage both the reclamation and the military.

Now he has also been transferred to the military position, awarded the rank of major general, and is now leading the army to Haicheng, to put on a posture of marching to Liaoyang, forcing the Shengjing general Lin Ning of the Qing Dynasty not to dare to move.

Create a safer environment for the landing of large armies.

The historical Peng Zhuangyuan is now riding on a Mongolian horse.

Acting with the army.

From a brilliant champion to a martial artist.

Peng Jun didn't have any complaints.

Because this Liaodong Reclamation Division is a place that can really do things.

Moreover, he was a civilian officer turned into a military post.

Yunwen Yunwu.

Wait for the battle of Liaodong to be over.

Whether it is qualifications or ability, this landlord in eastern Liaodong and northern Liaobei should also be his own.

Liaodong and Liaobei have such a large territory, the population is small, and the land is fertile.

It is certainly impossible to divide it as sparsely as the Han land.

An official had to be arranged to be in charge of the resettlement and reclamation, and at the same time, he had to have a certain military ability and the remnants of Tsarist Russia and the Manchu Qing to fight.

All things considered.

It's just yourself who is suitable.

Maybe when this battle is over.

He is the governor of Liaodi in the Ming Dynasty.

I worked as the governor of Liaodi for a few years.

The future of going straight to the center and becoming the prime minister is also close at hand.

There is no rule that the Ming Dynasty cannot be a prime minister in the military.

Moreover, his military position is only in name, in order to facilitate the command of the Third Front Army.

In essence, he is still a civil servant.

In addition, Peng Jun is a native of Hunan - he knows very well that no matter how much the son of tomorrow trusts the Cantonese Party, he is also the son of heaven, and he has the mind to achieve balance.

Now the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all Cantonese parties.

This is because the officials of the other provinces are not yet qualified to do so.

And now it seems.

The Son of Heaven has the plan to support the Hunan Party to enter the center.

So in the past two years, Peng Jun and Ouyang Hou can be said to have made steady progress.

Now Ouyang Houjun has gone to Borneo to be the governor of Lanfang, and is steadily advancing the process of occupying Borneo.

And he came to Liaodong.

Compared to Borneo.

Liaodong is a good place to make contributions!

The first prime minister of the Hunan Party is none other than himself!

"Report! The earthen fort of the Qing Dynasty was discovered, with more than 1,300 people stationed, and it seemed to be a garrison mixed with the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners Han Army! ”

The young captain, who had come from his horseback, said loudly.

"Order, the army rests in place, and the 33rd Brigade uproot this earthen fort!"

Peng Jun ordered.

Step by step, all the way to the north.

As long as nothing goes wrong.

Even if General Shengjing's Mansion sent all the Eight Banner soldiers, he couldn't help the Third Front Army under his command.

This vast space is empty.

Starting from Gaizhou, I walked hundreds of miles.

It's deserted.

Such a good territory is so deserted, and the biggest benefit for the Qing Tartar is to use the cattle hunting department to hunt some furs, dig up some wild ginseng and the like.

What a wickedness.

"Obey!"

The captain hurriedly raised his hand in salute.

Ride away.

Look at the back of the young captain.

Chen Jianhui, the commander of the 11th Army Brigade beside Peng Jun, smiled: "How? ”

"Yes, the order is forbidden, not arrogant or impatient."

Peng Jun nodded and said.

"This is the future Lan Guogong, someone above has explained, try not to let him go to a dangerous area."

Peng Jun nodded.

The young captain is the heir of Luo Fangbo, the Duke of Languo, because Luo Fangbo has no queen, so he can only find a Luo family son with the closest blood relationship from the Luo family in Jiaying Prefecture as an heir to inherit his title of Duke of Languo - otherwise, the sacrifice of the Duke of Lan Guo who is on the same vacation with the country in the Ming Dynasty will not become a joke?

In the eyes of others, Luo Jinyue, the young grandfather of Lan Guogong, who did not know how many lifetimes of virtue he had accumulated and had reached the peak of his luck against the sky, was awarded the rank of captain after graduating with excellent grades from the Daming Army Military Academy, and now he took the initiative to ask Ying to be transferred to the most dangerous battlefield in Liaodong.

In the eyes of many people, this is probably the brain being caught in the door.

If you don't do it, you can be a big soldier...

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.
