The public trial of Qianlong was an idea in Emperor Zhu's mind.

In his opinion.

The sins committed by the Manchus since their entry into the customs must have a symbolic end of sufficient weight.

In particular, if you want to take Manchu and Mongolia as Chinese Cossacks.

The trial of "all the sins are attributed to the emperor who loves Xinjueluo" in the true sense is even more necessary.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria have a rough calculation of more than 1.5 million people.

And the marriage between the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Monan Mongolia after one or two hundred years is almost synthesized.

There are also more than one million people in the Mongol tribes.

That's a combined population of more than three million people.

Not to mention with current technology.

Even if you use the set of the two warriors and Germans, you can't kill it.

If you can't kill it, it means that there are millions of people who are mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty!

It would be very troublesome for these people to carry out terrorist attacks in big cities with bombs tied to their beards every day - the current population mobility of the Ming Dynasty is so large, no matter how powerful Jinyiwei is, it is impossible to manage everything.

Moreover, Emperor Zhu is also a modern good young man who has been educated by me for more than ten years.

When I was in school, there were not no Mongolian and Manchu classmates.

In later generations, they are all relatives of the Greater China family, although some are more close, but on the whole, everyone still gets along more harmoniously.

I really have to make up my mind to slaughter more than 3 million Manchu and Mongolian tribes

It's a really hard decision.

What's more, now Tsarist Russia is ready to move on the border, and it has also given Manchurian and Mongolian opportunities.

Emperor Zhu now wants to use Manmeng as a sword, naturally to give the Manchu and Mongolian tribes peace of mind.

Then a public trial in which "all the crimes are attributed to Qianlong, and the rest is not asked" is very symbolic.

But how will Qianlong be judged.

How did Manmeng become a Ming Cossack.

The specifics need to be carefully considered.

Liaoxi, Ningyuan.

The Liaodong Corps of the Ming army was ready for a full-scale attack on Shanhaiguan.

Ma Xinmin, who was hired by the Liaodong Corps as a civilian companion to the army, had already withdrawn from the artillery position that had just been built.

A huge barrel-shaped mortar pointed at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

Ma Xinmin touched his sore shoulder, this was the first time he had seen such a huge and heavy cannonball.

A cannonball requires two people to carry it on the road position with a pole.

This is a hillside about a mile away from Shanhaiguan.

The mortar artillery position was set on the anti-slope of the hillside in order to avoid direct fire from the city defense artillery on the Shanhaiguan.

Mortars set up in this position can be used to throw shells into the Shanhai Pass.

"Hey, did you hear that? The emperors of the Tartars have been arrested, and the Agui in this Shanhaiguan will not last long. ”

"Don't say anything else, sleepiness has trapped them to death1"

"I heard that I've shot a lot of letters of persuasion in the past few days."

"It's a pity, originally this Ah Gui could still be their full Wu Sangui, but now it's okay, Qianlong has been arrested, and he can't do it if he wants to be Wu Sangui."

The people who carried the cannonballs up the mountain were much more relaxed when they came down, and they walked down the hillside path with some talking and laughing.

It's really hard work for them to carry shells up the mountain these days.

But fortunately, the food standard of the Ming army is good.

Three meals a day.

In the morning, when I got up and ate meat buns or noodles with canned whale meat, there was a great demand for whale oil in Daming, so there were many private businessmen in the Pearl River Estuary and the Yangtze River Estuary who formed a whaling team to go to sea to catch big fish.

So whale meat is cheap now, and of course, unless you live by the sea and can buy fresh meat, you can only eat jerky, cured meat, and canned meat anywhere else.

And the Generalissimo's Mansion also paid for the purchase of a lot of whale meat to supply the front line.

These days, I'm about to vomit when I eat whale meat - Ma Xinmin didn't expect that one day he would smell the color of the meat.

And he heard that this whale meat tastes similar to pork - Ma Xinmin has never eaten pork, after all, their whole family is honest believers.

I don't know if those Han people lied to him.

At noon, there was a meal of rice, and the dish was fried by the Hunan master in the army.

Ma Xinmin was not used to eating at first, but later he got used to it - doing a lot of hard work, and the local Hunan dishes with heavy oil and salt are indeed more able to supplement salt and physical fitness.

It is also rice in the evening.

I worked for a few months.

Ma Xinmin actually gained a lot of weight every time he lost weight

The guarantees given to the people are so sufficient, it is not difficult to understand that the Ming Dynasty fought a great war.

"Today's work is over, I heard that the military camp in Vladivostok is going to recruit people from us, and if you go, you will have the opportunity to enlist in the army first."

Someone said.

Ma Xinmin pricked up his ears.

If he can enlist in the army, it is indeed a good way out for Ma Xinmin, he knows a little bit of writing, and if he makes contributions in the army, he can recommend him to study at the Army and Navy Officer Academy.

The current Ming Dynasty did not engage in civility, nobility and martial arts.

And civilian officials usually have no control over the military.

Peng Jun, the governor of Liaodong, wants to manage the army, and he must also hang the rank of chief soldier of the Liaodong Corps.

So today's Ming Dynasty has come to an era of shining military uniforms!

The preferential treatment of the soldiers has greatly attracted the enthusiasm of young people to join the army.

Therefore, if the current Ming Dynasty expands its army, it is not afraid that no one will do it.

At this time, Peng Jun, the governor of Liaodong, also held a telescope to observe Shanhaiguan.

"Zongzhen, it seems that this Ah Gui doesn't want to be Wu Sangui anymore."

Feng Zhaoji, one of the several brigade commanders beside Peng Jun, said with a smile.

"If you don't do it, don't do it, the emperor has already come to order, you can attack Shanhaiguan!"

Peng Jun put down the binoculars and said with some regret.

failed to lead the troops to participate in the Battle of the Central Plains, but he really missed a lot of opportunities for meritorious service

However, there is a Liaodong Corps staring at Liaoxi here, which also makes the Qing court's army in Guihua City dare not covet Liaodong.

"Since this Ah Gui doesn't want to be Wu Sangui, then be his loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty." Peng Jun took out his pocket watch, "At noon, the mortar position and howitzer group were fully launched, and Shanhaiguan was blown to the ground!" ”

Peng Jun said sharply.

Through the reconnaissance of the hot air balloon, it can be found that Ah Gui built a large number of breastwork walls and trenches in the Shanhaiguan, and may have dug some hidden caves.

In vain, they tried to use these fortifications to inflict great casualties on the Ming army.

And of course, Peng Jun will not let his subordinates pay huge casualties because of a mountain customs!

Therefore.

Those huge mortars will only be carried up the hill when the time comes.

The shells of the mortar cannons, which weighed more than 60 catties, would be projectile into the pass, and the violent explosion would blow up all the rigid facilities that the Qing army had built temporarily.

If nothing else

After this round of shelling.

It is estimated that there are not many people who can move in Shanhaiguan.

Inside Shanhaiguan.

The Eight Banners of the Qing Army, who had been surrounded for half a year, sat around the iron pot.

A few soybeans in the iron pot are getting thinner and thinner.

Today, there are only a few soybeans in the pot, but a large pot of water is boiled.

Many of the Eight Banners soldiers were too hungry to walk, leaning against the wall and staring numbly at the noon sun.

Due to the fact that the Great Wall near Shanhaiguan was blown up by the Ming army.

The current Shanhaiguan is in fact a "lonely pass", unable to replenish troops and materials through the Great Wall - in fact, the Qing court cannot take care of the defenders of Shanhaiguan.

Originally, Ah Gui also asked people to plant sweet potatoes on the nearby hillside, but they were hoarded by the Ming army again.

So now there is basically no food in Shanhaiguan, and the war horses have been killed and made into cured meat—the beans and wheat that were fed to the horses are given to people to eat.

If the Ming army continues the siege. 、

Sooner or later, there will be a tragic situation of "cannibalism" in this Shanhaiguan.

The "rumors" that came two days ago shook the hearts of the troops in Shanhaiguan.

It is said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was arrested, and the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of the Central Plains, and the fifteenth and seventeenth elder brothers in Beijing competed for the throne.

The Qing Dynasty is de facto finished.

However, these rumors were resolutely refuted by the general Ah Gui.

It was declared that these were all "propaganda wars" by the Ming army to shake the morale of the army.

The Qing Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai in the Central Plains!

However, Ah Gui's words obviously could not inspire the fighting spirit of these Qing soldiers guarding the pass.

Although they also do not know whether the news of the arrest of the Qing Emperor is true or false.

But until now, the fact that there are no reinforcements, no food and grass is obvious.

Even if Qianlong was not arrested, the more obvious it was that the Qing Dynasty was at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

Ah Gui was still neatly draped and came out to inspect.

It's just that the gloomy color on his face is always difficult to hide.

Of course, he knew that the arrest of Emperor Qianlong was probably true.

The defeat of the army of more than 100,000 Eight Banners is probably not fake.

Maybe now the city of Beijing belongs to the Ming Dynasty

He, the defender of Shanhaiguan, can't do Wu Sangui if he wants to.

It seems that he has no choice but to be a loyal servant of the Qing Dynasty.

How can this Qing Dynasty also have loyal ministers?

Gui thought.

Right now.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense muffled sounds came from the Ming positions to the north.

Gui looked at it.

I saw round and huge-looking cannonballs rising from behind an unknown mountain peak, tumbling and smashing towards the Shanhaiguan.

"It's."

Ah Gui rang for a moment.

With dozens of shells falling to the ground.

Rumble!!

The explosion shook the entire pass.

Ah Gui was knocked to the ground by a stumble.

The eardrum is buzzing.

Goshha beside him whispered anxiously in his ear, but Gui couldn't hear anything.

The nostrils and ears were all knocked out of blood.

With such a violent explosion, even if you hide in a hole in the ground, you are afraid that you will be shocked to death, right?

Gui thought.

The next moment.

Dozens more shells flew into the air

"That's a lot of power!"

Peng Jun also looked at the scene in the telescope in horror.

"Zongzhen, this is a specially designed siege cannon from the Lantau Arsenal, what stands out is the power of an explosion, and a cannonball is filled with dozens of catties of yellow powder."

Feng Zhaoji, who was next to him, sighed.

"In this way, there should not be many defenders in the pass who will be spared. After half an hour of shelling, let's start attacking! ”

"Obey!"

Peng Jun looked at Shanhaiguan.

At this juncture, the Liaodong Corps will join forces with the Guards Corps and the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

Mighty drive into the city of Beijing!!

Regain Shenjing and return it to the old capital.
