I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 86 Qianlong's unease, landing in Wanwan!

After finishing the affairs, Qianlong asked people to read a letter from Rosa's new emperor Peter III.

At the beginning, Peter III just greeted routinely, and then talked about the people in the Far East!
Qianlong was quite tasteless.

Then, the subject of the letter changed.Peter III said that there is a group of mysterious people who claim to be Han Chinese and wantonly recruit troops in the West.

In March of this year, 3 elites have been summoned to set off half a year ago, and will arrive in Daqing at the end of next year!

Qianlong stood up suddenly: "Han people? Call [-] troops?"

Qianlong felt uneasy, and then asked someone to take out the globe and examine it carefully.

Looking at the chart above, he frowned: "How could there be mysterious Han people summoning the Western army? What are they? Could it be that I closed the trade port this year, which caused these foreigners to try to use military force to break the trade route? My block?"

"Foreigners are greedy. They have repeatedly opened customs to do business with us. They must be greedy for the wealth of my Qing Dynasty!"

The more Qianlong thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.

They say that the Chinese hired troops will arrive at the end of next year!
This is definitely the last deadline given to them by foreigners.

"Hmph, do you really think I am easy to bully the Qing Dynasty?" Qianlong thought for a while before issuing an order: "Let Governor Li Shiyao of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Yin Jishan of Liangjiang, and Governor Su Chang of Fujian and Zhejiang organize the coastal defenses, and let the navies everywhere strictly guard against bandits. .Do not let thieves enter from the coast!"

The scourge of Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty was very harmful, and he always kept it in his heart.

The foreign navy is powerful. Although the Qing navy is strong, there is still a gap with the foreigners.

Although Qianlong didn't want to admit it, it was the truth!

Therefore, he asked people to rectify the coastal defense, and never allowed foreigners to invade the coast.

It has only been a few months since the establishment of a trade agreement, if the coastline is broken by foreigners, not only will there be endless troubles for the future of the Qing Dynasty, but he, the wise master, will also be slapped in the face.

After thinking for a while, Qianlong continued: "I will distribute silver taels to Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, and let them supervise the coastal defense and guard against thieves! Also let the people from the Ministry of Industry resume production of the artillery workshop! Hurry up and produce enough artillery!"

The foreign artillery was sharp. The Qing Dynasty fought for many years, and the military expenditure was too high. In order to save military resources and prevent the Han from stealing artillery, Qianlong often cracked down on the production of firearms and artillery among the people.

"twitter!"

Qianlong walked back and forth in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, thinking about the pros and cons of the war and the gains and losses!
The provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are important tax centers, and no mistakes are allowed.

"Let Beizhili organize and train coastal defense to prevent foreigners from invading."

"twitter!"

After the task was arranged, Qianlong was not in the mood to find his concubine to discuss the joy of fish and water. He just carefully read the letter from Peter III of Tsarist Russia.

It has been several months since the letter was signed.However, the one-stop trade agreement formulated by Qianlong was only four months.

Although the time for the letter was a little tight, it did not rule out the speculation that the foreign king had already ordered that if the Qing Dynasty did not open the port, it would threaten with force.

In other words, foreigners will definitely use force?

"Send all the people at the sticky poles and pay more attention to coastal defense. Don't let any foreign enemies invade the southern provinces." Qianlong rubbed his eyebrows: "Also ask Li Shiyao to investigate the war situation in Western European countries. The military aircraft department is not analyzing that they must have a Did they fight? Why did they still have the opportunity to send tens of thousands of troops to attack my Qing Dynasty?"

"twitter!"

A black figure in the Hall of Mental Cultivation knelt to say goodbye, and then walked away without a sound.

Judging by his demeanor and movements, it is obvious that he has advanced skills!
Qianlong sat back on the first seat, stroking his teacup: "Mysterious Han Chinese? Zhu Ming's remnant party rebels? Heh~ Zhu Ming has been extinct for 100 years, and he still uses such ridiculous reasons!"

Because Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty are not of one mind.Peter III just gave them veiled messages.

This made Qianlong mistakenly believe that foreigners might invade the Qing Dynasty.

So at this moment, Qianlong still doesn't know how terrifying the enemies coming from the sea are!
Qianlong determined that the foreigners might send a navy to attack them.

A mere [-] navy, Qianlong was not afraid!
Although the [-] foreigners are powerful, they sail tens of thousands of miles in this era, and the supply lines are very long and the openings are very large.

Although the navy of the Qing Dynasty was slightly slack in armaments, it was still possible to deal with overseas threats as long as it was dealt with properly.

Following the issuance of Qianlong's imperial decree, several governors in the south were suddenly very busy.

The enemy comes from the sea?

Most likely a foreigner?
This is really killing people.

Being in the coastal area, it is natural to know that the firepower of foreign warships is strong.

Yin Jishan, governor of Liangjiang, quickly asked his men to patrol the coast and prepare for coastal defense.

Su Chang, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, also made great efforts to rectify the navy and improve the combat effectiveness of Guangdong and Guangxi.

However, Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was not diligent in organizing the army. He just asked people to buy more foreign artillery.

Because he already holds the navy in his hands!

Due to the one-way trade, Guangdong and Guangxi have two naval forces that can fight.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang also controls the military affairs, food and salaries, management of rivers and governors of the two provinces, and has great power.So he issued an order, and the two provinces below immediately began to get busy.

During these times, Li Shiyao also frequently notified the navy commander to pay attention to possible enemies on the coast.

In order to be on the safe side, he also paid the missing salary.

These great Qingshui masters, who are bitter, have received their salaries.Immediately came to the spirit, excited to patrol the coastal defense.

It was just a few months in a row, until February of the 23rd year of Qianlong, and no foreign thieves were seen.

Foreigners also do business honestly, and the navy officers and men of the Qing Dynasty felt depressed.

Gradually, the officials and gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty relaxed.

……

In the 23rd year of Qianlong, March [-]rd, at four o'clock in the morning.

An endless fleet of sails suddenly appeared at Gaoxiong, the portal in the south of Wanwan.

Ola held up the binoculars and looked at the looming port, with an excited expression: "Is that the curved Gaoxiong port?"

Obviously a foreigner, but Ola can speak fluent Chinese.

Not only that, D'Alembert next to him was also communicating in Chinese: "Yes, after sailing on the sea for a year, I finally arrived at my destination!"

D'Alembert looks relaxed!

During their year's voyage, in addition to enduring the boring and round-the-clock bumps, most of the time was spent learning characters.

In order for these tens of thousands of craftsmen to learn Chinese, the foreign team has worked hard.

Teach these Westerners the same way that the army used to read.

For more than a year, everyone has only sailed in the sea, and the speed at which they learn Chinese represents the level of treatment

So these [-] people were stimulated by various spirits, honors and materials, and their language progress was very fast.

Tens of thousands of people have basically mastered Chinese communication.

Of course, some basic industrial knowledge was also taught by the alien team.

It can be said that the more than one year of sailing has caused a qualitative change in the knowledge reserves of these tens of thousands of people!

As long as they are given a stable environment, they can complete the construction of military industry within a few months.

drop drop~
While d'Alembert was communicating with Ola, the harsh electric bell rang, but it was the radio that communicated with the crew.

"Ship 046, don't get too close to the coast. Be careful of the shelling of the Qing Dynasty! Over."

Ola took the microphone: "No. 046 received, stop sailing, over."

After hanging up the intercom, Ola hurriedly let the sail down.

The speed of information exchange is the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

For more than a year, when the Western craftsmen and their families, scientists, and soldiers sailing at sea were learning knowledge, the alien team was not idle.

In addition to teaching these tens of thousands of people to communicate in language and practicing [Tiger Capture and Fighting Technique], they spend their time manufacturing various industrial tools for military use and communication equipment.

For example, some machines that make bullets by hand, use modern equipment to make various tools and parts, make guns and shell tools...

In addition to this, there is naturally a radio that allows the fleet to communicate unimpeded.

Before setting off from Western Europe, the engineers of the team used the equipment brought over from Hyundai to make enough radio accessories for dozens of ships.

Although limited by the material, the transmitted sound is quite distorted, but the emergence of radio allows the crew to communicate normally.

Although everyone is at sea, communication is very convenient. As for what is used to drive these devices, it is naturally a manual generator.

Don't think generators are the most difficult to make, but who doesn't know the power of electrification in modern industry!
Among the industrial equipment brought over from modern times, there are many tools for making original generators.

When more than 500 sailing ships stopped moving forward, a special team of 30 people led [-] mercenaries who received special red education and went ashore under the cover of night.
