Great time travel

Chapter 425 , Sailing on the Qiantang River

Chapter 1, Sailing on the Qiantang River
"... That is to say, based on the images and photos of satellite reconnaissance and the eyeliner planted by the former Vladivostok Far East Company in Liaodong, the Jurchen Eight Banners are currently moving into the customs on a large scale. It is beneficial to our offensive... so the relevant departments are planning to postpone the launch of the Liaodong Raider again, so they freed up a field force, which can be used by my side?"

In a camp at Zhujiajian Beach on Zhoushan Island, the frontline commander of the Jiangnan battlefield at this time, Major General Sun Yang from the Huamei Republic in North America, was sitting next to a table covered with a map of China in the [-]th century, looking at the current situation. The territory of Huaxia, which was painted with colored pencils representing various forces, "...Actually, even if there are more post-golden troops in the cold weapon era, what's so scary?" He smacked his lips disapprovingly.

"...No, it's no longer the Houjin army, but the Qing army." Wang Qiu corrected, shaking his head, "...On the first day of the first lunar month of this year, Huang Taiji announced that he would move his capital to Beijing and change the name of the country to 'Qing' .Although no one on our side is afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers, the less resistance the better!"

"...Then, our opponent has become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?" Sun Yang whistled, "... Now, it's much easier to talk about it. It always feels weird to say what you said before. Strange, it seems to be the era of Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty..."

"...No, Huang Taiji didn't proclaim himself emperor, he is still the Khan of the Qing Dynasty." Wang Qiu shook his head again, "...Although some Hanchens who surrendered in Beijing offered to persuade them to enter, Huang Taiji seems to feel that his current territory He's still too young, if he just proclaimed himself emperor, he might be ridiculed as a monkey. So he's going to continue to lay down more land before he can say..."

"...He still thinks the territory is small? Could it be that he wants to take over the whole of North China?" Sun Yang blinked his eyes in confusion.

From the map, since the Guanning army turned against the enemy and the Eight Banners soldiers entered the pass, Houjin, er, is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been in the process of explosive rapid expansion-breaking the pass and going south, sweeping the Gyeonggi, and seizing Beijing. Whale to swallow Zhili in the north, conquer Shandong in the south, conquer Xuanfu and Datong in the west... In just half a year, Huang Taiji has laid down more than 30 square kilometers of land.

Due to the maritime trade at the Dagu Port in Tianjin, a large amount of food and supplies were exchanged with the "Global Chinese Traversing Alliance" with the cumbersome refugee population, so even the snowy winter did not stop the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners from rushing forward—— At present, the Qing army on the western front has chased after Emperor Chongzhen's exiled court and invaded the dilapidated Shanxi Province on a large scale.The Qing army on the southern front broke through Dezhou in December, and rushed straight to Jinan and Kaifeng like mercury pouring down the ground.

With the logistics supply fully guaranteed, the sharp offensive of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty seemed unstoppable.Its vanguard even stepped across the frozen Yellow River and penetrated deep into the border of Henan.But on the other hand, the rapid expansion of the occupied area also led to the rapid strain on the Qing army's strength... Therefore, Huang Taiji had to recruit and accept the rebels, and tried to organize some traitor troops to maintain law and order in the rear; People, and even let the soldiers of the Eight Banners move their families into the pass and allocate farm houses to stabilize the occupied area, and at the same time ensure that they have a strong enough field army in their hands.

As a result, the military power in Liaodong is naturally becoming more and more empty-but no one in the entire Eight Banners is worried about such boring things. To that icy and snowy place of bitter cold.

As for the "powerful pirates" who appeared in Vladivostok and burned Ningguta, even Huang Taiji forgot to care about it.

Although in the eyes of the traversers, the white mountains and black waters that these people have abandoned like clogs, are enough to carry the "kingdom foundation" of a large industrialized country!
"...Since Huang Taiji is taking time out of the troops outside the customs so wisely, we might as well wait patiently so that we can take over the entire Liaoning Province in a more 'peaceful' way in the future—in this way, the Vladivostok side will be spared. A mobile force of [-] was dispatched."

Wang Qiu pointed to the Zhejiang area on the map, "...At present, the governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty is leading the only field force in the whole province, about 3000 people, to fight against the two troops occupying the Fenshui Pass in the Wenzhou area. Thousands of the Funing Army confronted each other. In response, the Funing Army camp in Xiapu, Fujian has once again assembled [-] troops, led by Chief of Staff Jin Qiude, and is preparing to go north to Wenzhou to defeat this enemy in one fell swoop and complete the campaign against the entire southern Zhejiang region. occupied.

Then, General Huang Shi will come to Zhoushan to oversee the battle soon, and prepares to use [Random Gate] to transfer [-] temporarily idle Far East Army from Vladivostok, land in Ningbo Prefecture, and launch a raid on the entire eastern Zhejiang... The South Route Army of Qiude joined forces in the Taizhou area. "

"...So...General Huangshi wants to come here in person? So it didn't mean that the 3 people were entrusted to me to command..."

Major General Sun Yang sighed with some disappointment, "... Then, what is my mission? Stay in Zhoushan to guard the base?"

"...No, that would be too wasteful." Wang Qiu raised his eyes to look at the huge fleet parked in the bay, and said this meaningfully, "...It's still the same as the original plan, Lingao will give you another Replenish [-] troops, gather [-] land troops, and then carry out sneak attacks and harassment on the Ming army's rear, just like what Japanese pirates did in the past. As for the attack target...Hangzhou or Songjiang, you choose one! "

"...Let's go to Hangzhou, at least I can see the scenery of the Six Harmonies Pagoda and the West Lake——Shanghai, or Songjiang is really not interesting these days."

After a moment of hesitation, Sun Yang made a decision, "...However, there are still some tails to be cleaned up in Zhoushan before departure..."

——So, when a large group of black African uncles in full armor and painted faces lined up in a messy formation, screaming like yakshas descending to the earth, they killed Putuo Mountain, and the bald donkeys in the temple were so frightened that they rang the bell indiscriminately, full of mouthfuls. When reciting the blessings of Amitabha Buddha.The expeditionary fleet of the Huamei Republic, which had just swept across the Zhoushan Islands, once again hoisted the military flag, raised the sails and weighed anchor, and sounded the horn to go to the mainland...

Then, accompanied by the sound of gongs and gongs, the densely populated Qiantang River was suddenly plunged into turmoil.

"...Kun thief! The big boat of the Kun thief is coming!"

Hangzhou, prefect yamen

Now it's time for the New Year's seal to rest, there is no official business to deal with, and the yamen servants have already gone home to reunite with their relatives.

In the small study of Hou Ya, Liu Mengqian, the prefect of Hangzhou, was facing the winter sun, carefully wiping the lampshade of a glass oil lamp in his hand.

——This is a treasure copied from the boudoir of "Australian famous prostitute" Pei Lixiu when the magistrate's yamen seized the Ziming Building in Hangzhou last fall.The clear whale oil in the lamp always exudes a wonderful fragrance, and the eight colorful pictures of beauties depicted on the milky white glass lampshade are even more ingenious, revealing a kind of beauty that is clean and not demonic, far better than the market. The ordinary "Australian oil lamps" sold online are more luxurious and refined, and the self-proclaimed elegant Liu Zhifu couldn't put it down when he saw it.

What's more, since Huangshi, the general of Fujian Province, colluded with the Kun bandits to rebel and Nanjing issued a strict order to "close the port and stop the market" with the Kun bandits and other foreigners, all kinds of "Australian goods" on the Hangzhou market have been cut off from the source. The town quickly disappeared, much to the displeasure of the townspeople.Even the most common Australian lamps are priceless in today's Hangzhou city, not to mention the high-end hardcover luxury version.

In fact, the prefect Liu Mengqian has always disapproved of the inexplicable outbreak of the current war, and felt that he was taking the initiative to cause trouble for the upper body.It's just that other people's soft words can't affect the decision of the Donglin Party bosses, so they can only use this opportunity to gain more benefits for themselves--in the search of Ziminglou, Wanbi Bookstore and other "kun thief industries", as well as Qinghefang Nanyang When the shops on the street sold "Australian goods", the entire Hangzhou government made a huge fortune as a result.Next, a sum of money was knocked off the heads of those gentry who believed in Western Christianity.

However, just when those yamen servants, who had made money in their pockets, were full of ambitions and were preparing to "smash the rest of the bandits" and go to search the Phoenix Mountain Villa, the "thief's lair" in the suburbs, They actually kicked on the iron board—they came to the door with iron rulers and sticks just thinking about getting rich, but they were beaten up by the village guards who ignored the law. After killing more than a dozen people, they had to escape all the way back in despair.

That time after the embarrassing retreat from Phoenix Villa, Liu Zhifu originally wanted to mobilize manpower to take revenge. Unexpectedly, he took stock of the strength in his hands, but found that the current Hangzhou Mansion had no troops at all. The Governor of Zhejiang Province has already brought all the troops from the province south to Wenzhou, claiming to put down the rebellion in Fujian Province, but because the rebels first seized the Fenshui Pass, the officers and troops had no way to go south, so they had to follow in the south of Zhejiang endlessly. The Funing Army confronted each other.And Nanjing was busy defending against the demons of Wenxiang Sect in Jiangbei, and supporting the new emperor, so no one cared about Hangzhou for a while.

Even the passionate scholars who had been chanting slogans all day long to crusade against the thieves and hope for a better tomorrow, after learning the news that Beijing had fallen and the emperor had fled, put all their minds on dethroning Chongzhen and supporting the new regime. In terms of the emperor's great cause, he doesn't care about the wars in Fujian and Lingnan, let alone this shitty incident in Hangzhou... Therefore, regarding the fact that there are "remnants of the thieves" entrenched in the outskirts of Hangzhou, Liu Zhifu finally had to make a call. With sloppy eyes, he mumbled and perfunctory - anyway, although he couldn't get in on his side, the gangsters in the villa couldn't get out either.

That being the case, let's just make do with it!Maybe after a while, this matter will subside slowly?Today's world is already in flames of war, officials and gentry are in danger, Hangzhou is still a peaceful land after all, why should I add more chaos?

After the Yonghe Emperor in Nanjing, who was completely out of etiquette, came to the throne, he was faced with the dual military threats of the rioters in Jiangbei and the abolished Emperor Chongzhen, as well as the unanimous opposition or disregard of conflicts from the entire royal family and most of the provinces. The "savvy people" in the Donglin Party did not dare to cause trouble anymore. Instead of urging Liu Zhifu to continue to "eliminate the remnants", two days ago, the Donglin boss secretly instructed him to use the Fenghuang Villa He sent a letter over there, trying to test the possibility of "recruiting" Huangshi and the gangsters—although Huangshi was forced to rebel, he didn't seem to be very firm.Since the start of the war for more than half a year, they have only sent people to seize the Fenshui Pass and block the Zhejiang-Fujian passage, but there is no sign of going further north to Zhejiang... So they gave Nanjing the illusion that "maybe the problem can be resolved peacefully"...

As for the situation in Lingnan... With both Huguang and Jiangxi refusing to recognize the Nanjing Communist Party, the provinces farther away from Nanjing have already cut off contact with the Nanjing court.Even if the Kun bandits smashed Guangdong, what does it have to do with the gentlemen of Donglin in Nanjing?
Hey, no matter what, in Liu Zhifu's eyes, the chaos in Fujian is probably going to end without a problem.

However, just as Liu Zhifu was having erroneous fantasies and playing with the beauty picture on the "glass cup" obsessively, his old butler pushed the door hard and barged in with a bang, panting. Shouted: "...Master, it's not good!"

In an instant, the "glazed cup" with the picture of the beauties dropped from his hand, and smashed into pieces with a crackling sound, causing Mr. Liu's mood to fall to the bottom, and immediately became furious, and he raised his right hand and was about to hit the butler in the face... ...But looking at the panicked face of this old man, and remembering that he has been with me for more than 20 years, Master Liu finally suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "...so surprised Yes, what's the proper way? Tell me, what's the matter?"

However, the sudden incident of "broken the master's beloved glazed cup" made the housekeeper who was already panicked even more panicked for a while—the poor guy was so nervous that he was speechless for a while , thinking blank, unable to say anything.

As a result, the anger in Liu Zhifu's heart began to increase, and it became more and more difficult to control his emotions... Fortunately, before Master Liu's patience was finally exhausted, the old housekeeper finally let out a deep breath and said the words he had held back for a long time He said it all at once:

"...The Kun bandits, the Kun bandits are coming in! They are all big ships! There are dozens of them! It's on the Qiantang River! We will be at the gate of Hangzhou soon!"

"...What did you say? Say it again!"

For a moment, the expression on Master Liu's face froze, but he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

The old housekeeper naturally complied with his request: "...Master! The warship of the thief has already hit the Qiantang River outside the city!"

After confirming the bad news, Liu Zhifu seemed to hear the sound of breaking the glass oil lamp just now in his subconscious mind, and his face was also pale-hasn't they already started talking?Why are these goddamn thieves still coming to the door?
"...Hurry up, close the gates of the city right away! Also hurry up and get my film, and gather all the gentry in the city to discuss important matters of defending the city!"
