Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 182 Lian Qing against the Ming Dynasty!

Shengjing, Fengtian City.

Inside Shengjing General's Mansion.

General Lin Ning of Shengjing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth.

"How can you make an attack? How can you make an attack? You are so confused!"

Lin Ning has just received the battle report from Jinchang, the deputy commander of Xianglan Banner.

The three brigades of the Ming army swaggered northward, passing through Tieling Tunbao. A co-leader of the Xianglan Banner tried to stop the Ming army with more than 1000 troops. The people of the Eight Banners who settled around the fort were evacuated.

Well now.

People were directly surrounded in the fort.

And Jinchang personally led the [-] horse team to the south.

Prepare to take these ten thousand people out.

It's just that the eight thousand horse team faced the three brigades of the Ming army.

Certainly not someone else's opponent.

Now is the era when the Ming army is invincible.

The Ming army of the three brigades has a total of 5000 people. Although two of the brigades are newly formed, they cannot stand up to being well equipped, and although they are new designations, all of them have stayed in Liaodong for a year and can shoot muskets. , A man who dared to go into the mountains to hunt tigers and bears.

In this way, the three infantry brigades of the Ming army were each equipped with a dragoon battalion. The Qing army did not have more than double the strength of the army, so they dared not defend at all—let alone take the initiative to attack.

Lin Ning is also from the clan with the surname Aixinjueluo. Before becoming the general of Shengjing, he worked in the clan's mansion in Beijing, and also served as the minister of guards for Qianlong. Of course, he knew how the Ming army's combat effectiveness was.

But the old Eight Banners in Manchuria don't know.

They thought that if a team of [-] to [-] cavalry faced off against a [-] Ming army, even if they lost, they could at least be able to fight evenly—this was simply a dream.

All of them overestimated themselves.

"What should we do now? Jinchang led a team of [-] cavalry to go south, if he loses"

Heilongjiang General Shu Liang was speaking, and Jilin General Bao Lin was present.

Both of them were frowning tightly, looking worried.

After getting the news that the Ming army was coming across the sea.

The three military mansions of Shengjing, Heilongjiang, and Jilin in Manchuria transferred troops into Liaodong.

Although Heilongjiang still has the task of guarding against Russia, Shu Liang can't take care of that much now.

If Heilongjiang and Jilin did not move troops south, the strength of Shengjing alone would not be enough to fight tens of thousands of Ming troops.

Now the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Manchuria have basically been gathered, and among the people of the Eight Banners, those who can carry swords and guns have also been armed.

The 20 people of the Eight Banners, in addition to more than 2 cavalry, also organized [-] males into the ranks.

Five people draw one.

It can be said to be an extreme mobilization.

Moreover, the men of the Eight Banners here in Manchuria are still able to endure hardships more than those in the Eight Banners in Beijing. At least most of them can ride horses, and there is no shortage of horses in Manchuria.

Therefore, it can barely be regarded as an army of [-] cavalry.

In addition, there are 1 armored people in Ningguta, and nearly [-] people have been recruited by the sacrificer tribe.

In terms of military strength, it is very strong. Hundreds of years ago, there were [-] cavalry, and they could all go south to fight with the great powers of the Central Plains.

But now in Lin Ning's hands, he doesn't even have much confidence in defending Liaoyang.

"The Ming army has only three brigades rushing forward, and its large force should still be at sea." Jilin General Bao Lin said.

"Even if Mingni arrives in Lushun, it will take some time for the large troops to arrive." Heilongjiang General Shu Liang said, "This may be an opportunity."

Lin Ning also began to calculate after hearing the words.

There are about 5000 Ming troops in three brigades.

Most of them are still infantry.

Most of the Eight Banners in Manchuria can ride horses.

Now Jinchang has brought [-] cavalry teams, and here we will send [-] Eight Banners cavalry teams, [-] strong men from the animal tribe, and the [-] armored men from Ningguta.

This is [-] combined troops.

There are 5000 people on the opposite side, which is basically three against one!

With more than 4 cavalry, it can kill a lot, right?

Even if you lose, you should be able to run.

After some calculations.

Lin Ning thinks this stop is worth fighting for!
"It's not an option to retreat, if you have the opportunity, fight for a while!"

Lin Ning gritted her teeth and said.

Just now.

An officer of the Eight Banners came in a hurry.

"General, the Russian envoy is here!"

General Shu Liang of Heilongjiang stood up with a bang

"What? Has Tsarist Russia entered Heilongjiang?"

The three Eight Banners garrison generals glanced at each other.

What they were most worried about was that Tsarist Russia took advantage of the danger, took the opportunity to tear up the Nerchinsk Treaty, and sent troops into Heilongjiang.

Although the Eight Banners say that there are quite a lot of troops stationed in Manchuria.

However, there are too few people in Manchuria, there is emptiness everywhere, and there are loopholes everywhere. It is impossible to prevent the infiltration of Tsarist Russia by spreading out tens of thousands of troops.

What's more, most of the Eight Banners garrisons in Heilongjiang and Jilin have been transferred to Shengjing to deal with Niming.

If Tsarist Russia launches an attack now.

It can only rely on the people of the Eight Banners in Heilongjiang to organize and resist.

"They said they came here to jointly deal with Niming."

"Cooperate with us?"

Lin Ning and the others frowned.

"Bring in the Tsarist Russian envoy."

In Fengtian City.

A group of cavalry holding the Tsarist Russian tricolor flag slowly entered the city.

The person who came to Fengtian this time was a big shot in Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russia's new governor of Eastern Siberia, the one-eyed general Mikhail Kutuzov.

Kutuzov was riding on his horse at this time, and with his only remaining eye, he looked left and right at the oriental city.

"Manchuria is really a good place."

Kutuzov muttered something under his breath.

Kutuzov, who was born in 1745, is 48 years old this year and is already a lieutenant general of the Russian Imperial Army.

He participated in the Fifth Russo-Turkish War in 1774, during which he began to emerge. Of course, it was also in this war that he lost his right eye forever, so that now the Russian Empire lieutenant general only He can wear a black eyepatch, and if one ignores the general star on his shoulders and the straight military uniform, this ferocious appearance looks like a pirate.

"Manchuria is of course a good place, Your Excellency the Lieutenant General."

Talking beside him was a Slavic scholar who was short and thin, with a somewhat refined temperament.

Kutuzov squinted at the scholar named Alexander Radishchev.

Radishchev was a well-known critic in Moscow.

To Kutuzov it was a big mouth.

He has criticized the Queen's foreign and military policies more than once in public, and believes that the Russian Empire should learn from some enlightened monarchy countries in Western Europe to carry out reforms, and believes that the serf system and dictatorship of the Russian Empire will sooner or later bring Soros Great disaster.

It's okay for this big mouth to just say these things.

The worst thing is that he actually started to promote the ideas of the Jacobins.

So this unlucky guy was exiled to Siberia by the benevolent empress—it was indeed the empress who was kind, this unlucky guy. No, it should be because the lucky guy happened to be well-known in Europe, otherwise he would not have known where he was buried.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Siberia, he became fascinated by the study of Chinese issues.

Kutuzov would not have been sent to the East.

But since last year, Moscow has received news from the East.

The regime in southern China, the Ming Empire established military settlements in the Far East, and it seems that they will also extend their hands into this area.

This aroused the queen's great vigilance.

Empress Ekaterina, who won the throne by means of a coup, chose uninterrupted external expansion in order to stabilize her throne.

During her reign.

Russia successively expanded southward and westward. During the three Russian-Prussian partitions of Poland, it obtained parts of the right-bank Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania, and fought against Turkey to obtain parts of the Black Sea coast, Crimea, and Courland.

At the same time, she is also very interested in southern China.

Not long after she became the ruler of the Russian Empire, she began to take the posture of armed attack on China, changed the original border military system, and authorized the Special Army Office under the Military Council to handle China's border affairs with full authority. In the same year, Yekater Lina II also ordered Miller to draft the "Opinions on the War with China". In this document, it was clearly declared that the Heilongjiang River Basin was owned by Russia.

This put a layer of so-called legality on the subsequent Russian expansion.

It can be said that in the original history.

Ekaterina's military preparations for China are very adequate.

But because the focus of Russia's external expansion is in Europe, there is no time to take care of Asia, and because of poor financial support, the plan has been delayed again and again.

However, in this time and space, due to the rise of the Ming Empire, the rising confrontation between Ming and Britain has eased the pressure on Russia in Europe. Even Britain is seeking to improve relations with Russia, establish an alliance, and jointly oppose Ming and France.

This freed Ekaterina to look eastward.

It doesn't matter.

Immediately, Her Majesty the aged Queen was taken aback.

Great changes have taken place in the East!
Ming rises.

And a military station was established in the Vladivostok area. According to the intelligence returned from the east, Vladivostok is actually an ice-free port!

Although Russia is big, it is trapped on land. Their coastline is very long, but most of them face the Arctic Ocean, which is frozen all year round. There are many ports in the Black Sea, but to enter the Mediterranean Sea from the Black Sea, and then enter the ocean, you have to go through some very narrow areas. The strait is a natural shackle for the Russian navy.

so.
If you can get an ice-free port in the east, this will be a huge temptation for the Russian Empire!

Ekaterina II immediately decided to increase troops to the East, and sent Mikhail Kutuzov, who had performed well in the Russo-Turkish War, to the East to fully preside over the expansion plan in the East.

Immediately after Mikhail came to the East, he discovered that compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should be the opponent that Russia needs to guard against most in the East. Their military base in Vladivostok will be the most difficult problem for Russia to seize the Vladivostok area.

In such cases.

Mikhail sought contact with the Qing Dynasty, hoping to unite the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty. He did not directly pursue the occupation of Vladivostok, but first helped the Qing court to destroy the Ming army in Vladivostok.

But did not expect
Nothing happened in Vladivostok.

Ming and Qing fought here in Shengjing first.

Mikhail did not see the two Eight Banners garrison generals of the Qing court in Heilongjiang City and Jilin City, so he had to go all the way south to Fengtian.
