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

Chapter 98 Fu Heng: Watch Me Raise [-] Troops to Reclaim Wanwan (Subscribe)
Thank you for your (?_?) merciful reward!
Limited by their horizons, the governors of Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Emperor Qianlong didn't know what happened to Wanwan at the moment.

They thought that Wanwan was occupied, but the enemy fought a surprise battle.

Since April, the governors of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong have been sending reconnaissance ships to try to land in Wanwan to investigate the situation!

Unfortunately, for more than half a month, more than 30 ships have been sent in a row, but they have never returned.

Without any military information, they are no different from blind people at this moment.

Until April [-]th, dozens of people ran out in boats and sent them very important military information!

Li Shiyao immediately met these escaped people.

"Are you sure you found at least one hundred sailing warships of six thousand material on the shore?"

"Yes, my lord, we attacked at night, who would have known that those red-haired devils would bomb us, if it wasn't for a sudden strange wind, we would all be buried in the sea!" The soldier said with a face full of fear.

"Tell me about the characteristics of these red-haired men!"

"Their fleet flew four flags. There was the eagle, the French, the Spanish, and an unknown flag."

Li Shiyao frowned: "It's really a coalition army! Have you ever seen the strength of the troops?"

"I only saw a hundred warships. But we saw that they forced the people to work by the sea. They seem to be building a military fort!"

Li Shiyao stood up suddenly: "Jianjunbao? It seems that the foreigners are ambitious and want to invade my Qing land!"

Let people take these survivors away, and Li Shiyao continued to send people to investigate the situation.

In the following days, news came from another scout ship.There are more and more military newspapers.

For example, a large number of military fort houses are being built in the south of Wanwan, and there are also a large number of foreigners here.

Those enemies who have occupied the bend are building military forts in some dangerous places.

They made plans to occupy this place for a long time.

In addition, their ferocious artillery, has reduced the frequency of firing.

This shows from the side that their artillery ammunition is insufficient.

This made Li Shiyao feel relieved.

He also contacted the Minjiang Navy and found that the Minjiang Navy calmly boarded Chilong Port.

These foreigners actually gave up the Wanwan northern line of defense?
As for the ghosts mentioned by the officers and soldiers, except for the hundreds of Huang Shijian, who else remembers them?

Soon, Li Shiyao and Su Chang gathered together to discuss how to recover Wanwan.

According to the available information, it can be inferred that there are more than 3000 foreigners.

They should be just the vanguard, and there should be coalition forces coming after them.

In order to meet the challenge, Li Shiyao and Su Chang decided to continue to increase their troops and organize naval divisions.

Besides, a big war is going to be waged within a month!
Neither too early nor too late.

As for why you don't want to start another war!
Excuse me!
They thought that their own warships could not beat the foreigners.

The warships of the foreigners had more artillery and sailed faster. In recent years, there were many pirates along the coast of the Qing Dynasty, and the navy had many battles with them.

In the early days of Kangxi, there was no such thing as the Great Qingshui Division. The Daming Shui Division was just like foreigners, and everyone had their own successes and losses.It wasn't until Shi Lang turned to the Qing Dynasty that the Qing Dynasty had warships.

During the Qianlong and Yongzheng periods, the naval battles with foreigners gradually became overwhelmed, and Qianlong engaged in trade again, which slowed down the development of warships.

What are the main components of the Qing court warships in the 23rd year of Qianlong?

During this period, they were mainly driven boats (fuchuan), boats, and rice boats. Several Tong Ansuo ships of this era were used as command ships by them!

During the Qianlong period, the rice boat was originally a civilian transport ship, famous for its fast speed and strong hull, and was later transformed into a warship.The effect was not good, and it was used until the Sino-Japanese War.

Rice boats are divided into three types: large, medium and small. Among them, rice boats are "nine feet and five feet (31.67 meters) long, two feet and six inches (6.87 meters) wide, and nine feet three inches (3.1 meters) deep."

As for the more advanced warships such as Tongan Shuo and Dayang Yang Shuo, which are less than 30 meters in length and width, they were not equipped on a large scale until the end of Qianlong.

The heaviest of these warships is only [-] materials, and the speed is only [-] knots, which is three times smaller than that of western warships, and the speed is [-]% slower.

Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Su Chang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, knew that the enemy was too powerful and could only be outsmarted.

Subsequently, they continued to send troops to Penghu and other places for investigation.

As for the rear area, they organized and trained naval forces, mobilized supplies from various places, and manufactured manpower boats on a large scale.

They were going to learn from Zheng Chenggong's fire boat attack method and use the fire crow tactics to burn down the foreign warships.

As orders were communicated one after another, materials from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang began to be transported quickly towards the two military ports.

A large number of military supplies began to be produced.

Somewhere in Guangdong and Guangxi, marching array.

Thousands of coolies worked hard to balance the wheelbarrows, transporting combat supplies and marching towards Guangzhou.

More than 30 green battalion soldiers served as escorts.

Seeing that some coolies move slowly, it is just a whip.

Snapped!
"Push me faster!"

The peasant coolie grunted, lowered his head and accelerated the transport of supplies!
It's not that the coolies don't want to scream, it's that they don't dare!

Before, there were those who were beaten and screamed, and then beaten to death with a whip.

Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, issued an order that this batch of military rations must be transported to Guangzhou within 1000 days, otherwise the entire army and more than [-] coolies will lose their heads.

In order to be able to return home alive to meet his wife and children, he must work hard to transport supplies!
The soldiers of the Green Battalion scolded back and forth, like reprimanding livestock, urging the coolies to move forward.

The whip was raised again, and it just hit a slow-moving strong man twice: "Hurry up, we must arrive in Guangzhou before the end of the month."

The man gritted his teeth and insisted.

Seeing the green battalion soldier leave, he looked at his arrogant appearance enviously.

I thought that I could be a small official anytime, showing off my power to my subordinates, and my life would be super happy!

There are hundreds of teams transporting supplies like this in the southern provinces of the Qing Dynasty.

Countless materials were transported to military camps in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang for use by sergeants!

Looking at the hard labor transporting supplies, the Green Camp took Chief Chao Er to the place, thinking about how to earn a little money, and thinking about whether to use the food in exchange for some capital for promotion.

For these green battalion escorts, this is not a sacred task.They just need to hurry up and transport the supplies there, and then rest for a few days!
I heard that the red-haired foreign devils who invaded Wanwan had sharp weapons, so I don't know if they can come back alive.

Due to the preparations for the recovery of military resources in various places in the south of the Qing Dynasty, the commission for various materials suddenly increased.

……

Daming Lake in the south of the Yangtze River!
Xia Yuhe, who had aged a lot, was full of misery. She clutched a bag of jewelry tightly: "You can't do this, this is my last property."

boom!
The vicious little official kicked Xia Yuhe in the lungs.

He grinned ferociously and said, "Go away, if you dare to obstruct our collection of military funds, you will be the first to kill!"

The little official took the bag of jewelry and left here.

This widow of the Xia family really doesn't know what is good or bad, doesn't she know that the magistrate wants military funds?

He didn't even know how to flatter him.

court death!

In the small courtyard of Xia's family, only Xia Yuhe, who vomited blood, was left paralyzed on the ground.

Seeing that the hundreds of taels of silver that were used to live and work were gone.Xia Yuhe burst into tears: "Your Majesty... when will you come back, woo..."

Thinking of what happened in the past few years, Xia Yuhe cried heartbreakingly.

"mother……"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl just came over, and when she saw her mother like this, she immediately cried out.

Xia Yuhe was helped by Ziwei to go for treatment.

After several days of continuous treatment, his body became weaker and weaker.

She's obviously going to die!
Many years ago, I thought that if I climbed into the bed of Qianlong's elder brother, I would be able to fly up the branches and become a phoenix.

Who knew that the number of women who climbed into Qianlong's bed over the years was at least a few hundred, and Qianlong's children could even form a reinforcement camp.

Originally, the Xia family treated her well, and they happily waited for Emperor Qianlong for more than ten years.

Who knew that Qianlong was just playing with these women, it was totally irresponsible.

In recent years, the imperial court has imposed more and more miscellaneous taxes.

Ever since Xia Yuhe's parents passed away, the Xia family was overwhelmed and gave the two living ancestors a small courtyard and land, and then ignored them.

Xia Yuhe didn't dare to reveal the identity of Qianlong's lover, otherwise it would be a crime of slandering the Holy Majesty.

A pampered young lady lost her family's support, and her life with her daughter Ziwei has become more and more miserable in the past few years.

Today, even an unscrupulous little official kicked Xia Yuhe into serious injuries by using ruthless tricks.

I don't know if she can survive it.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuhe braced herself and grabbed Ziwei's arm: "Ziwei, I... have a secret to tell you!"

……

Denglei sea area!

Bird boats, boats, boats, rice boats, Tonganshuo boats, Dahengyangshuo and other ships that have just been purchased from outside are transporting [-] Eight Banner soldiers. advance.

On the first ship, Fu Heng was lying lazily on the deck basking in the sun.

In the boat, a woman's mournful cry was vaguely heard.

It is clearly a warship, but the voice of a woman is really eye-opening.

At this moment, a small boat approached, and Fu Heng's servants brought a few green battalion soldiers onto the boat.

Fu Heng, who was originally a martial arts master, didn't even open his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Master, I have sent something interesting to Fifth Master!"

"Huh?" Fu Heng raised his eyes, and saw a few slender people in green camp uniforms walking over.

Carefully looking at the figure, the twin peaks and the face, Fu Heng's eyes flashed with greed.

Smelling a few scents of powder, he nodded nonchalantly: "Go and receive the reward yourself."

The servant's face was full of joy: "Zha~"

Let these pretty women stand outside, and Fu Heng knocked on the door when the voice inside stopped.

"Fifth brother, there is a new trick coming!"

Surprised laughter came from the cabin below. The fifth elder brother poked his head out disheveledly, looked at the two women, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, let them in!"

Three pretty women entered the cabin with apprehension on their faces.

Fu Heng closed the door and vaguely heard a voice from inside: "Erkang, this time I want to see who is stronger!"

Accompanied by the girl's exclamation, Fu Heng sighed slightly, then got on the deck, changed into a lazy posture and continued to doze off.

Old, but still a young man with good physical strength!

Lord Qianlong asked him to go to Fujian and Zhejiang to supervise the battle between the two armies.Recovering bends is just a side task.

According to the speed of shipping, it will take them another ten days, and they will arrive in Fujian and Zhejiang in early May.

No hurry, no hurry.

Prioritize taking care of these masters!
