Thanks to [Funny at My Home] for the tip, thank you very much!
…
The Qing Dynasty was in turmoil.
Their elder brothers were all controlled by Qianlong for various reasons.
Some important ministers were also protected by Qianlong for various reasons.
Qianlong was afraid that these people would suddenly rebel and seize his throne.
He has only been sitting in this chair for more than 20 years, and he still hasn’t had enough~
Because Qianlong closed the capital, the channels for internal and external communication were gone.
So after three days, Chen Mu's side showed a disconnection.
Chen Mu directly contacted Honglu Temple: "We need to send a message. Otherwise, our army will definitely start a war if they find out that we have no news."
"Ambassador, wait a moment. After we finish handling the matter, we will help you deliver the letter."
Chen Mu pretended to be angry: "I hope you will take care of yourself. If the army is sent out, there will be chaos."
The people from Honglu Temple smiled and passed the news to Shangfeng.
But the important officials of the Qing court were all focused on the case of missing weapons at the moment, so how could they care about Chen Mu.
When these people were still so self-righteous and arrogant~
A greater crisis has arrived.
Jinmen!
As the coastal defense gateway of the capital, Jinmen connects important areas from all over the country and has been a key defense place since the Ming Dynasty.
It is only more than a hundred kilometers away from the capital. There are Yongding River and Chaobai River leading to the capital, which is the throat of the capital's transportation.
As long as you get through Haiphong, you can easily go deep into Tongzhou and then directly to the capital!
However, in history, enemies attacking from the sea did not appear until the Allied Forces taught the old Cixi.
However, this scene has to be brought forward.
It was still dark on September 13th.
More than thirty warships arrived directly at Tianjin.
As soon as we arrived at Tianjin, we were bombarded with rockets.
Artillery shells with a range of six kilometers and similar to 107 rockets landed intensively on the Qing Ting Fort.
The Qing soldiers stationed there were directly blown away!
They have never seen such a terrifying weapon.
A single cannonball can easily kill a colleague who is several feet away.
Everyone in the Eight Banners Green Camp was confused!
Before they could organize a defense, the warships docked and all the troops landed.
There are still elite troops in Jinmen. A general saw the enemy landing and hurriedly summoned more than a thousand soldiers to organize a counterattack.
"Surrender without killing!" the landing fleet shouted.
The general saw that only a few hundred people had landed. He raised his knife angrily and shouted: "While the enemy is not yet firmly established, rush over and kill them all!"
"Hit!" the high school team directly gave the order to fire.
There was a continuous barrage of musketry, and the Jinmen defenders once led more than a thousand people to try to charge with bows and arrows.
Rifles from later generations fired countless copper-jacketed bullets.
The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty charged bravely, but they witnessed the cruelty of the times with their flesh and blood.
After all, the speed of the flesh and blood body could not be faster than the speed of the rifle. They were defeated and collapsed before they even got 200 steps closer to the enemy.
The enemy's firepower was really too strong. After just 200 steps, more than 800 corpses were left behind.
Zhuang Yan looked at the unfired heavy machine gun next to him: "Fortunately, they ran away."
Seeing the collapse of the Jinmen garrison, fleet soldiers landed one after another.
The high school team got off the boat, looked at the vulnerable Jinmen defenders in the distance, and sighed: "It's really boring to bully the Qing army."
"We were caught by surprise. The battle is about to end. Zhuang Yan, let's divide our troops into two groups and send the vanguard directly to Langfang!"
"good!"
"Report, I want to be a pioneer."
It was team doctor Yuan Qingkai who requested the fight.
"Uh, okay! You will be the pioneer."
Even though Yuan Qingkai is a team doctor, his tactical literacy is also very good.
Since Yuan Qingkai has this idea, let him be the vanguard!
The troops were divided into two groups, one led by the high school team and Zhuang Yan, to deal with the Qing garrison at Jinmen.
They mainly finish here and then stand firm.
Armed with modern bolt-action rifles, they were completely massacred against the Qing army, which was only equipped with bows, arrows and artillery.
Although there were many brave men in the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and the Green Camp, in the face of epoch-making weapons, they were just giving away food!
This is the crushing of technology. It is the crushing of ignorance by advanced technology!
Soon, the high school team established a foothold in Jinmen.
The troops then set up defensive positions here to guard against possible attacks by the Qing court at night.
At noon on the 13th, the high school team and Zhuang Yan led two thousand people to attack in two directions. It took another half an hour to defeat the Qing garrison and the prefect of Jinmen who came to support Jinmen.
In this battle, a total of 6,000 Qing troops were captured and 2,300 enemy troops were annihilated.
At twelve o'clock at noon, all important locations and passes in Tianjin were under their control.
Later, Zhuang Yan led two battalions with a total of 800 people to stay here.
They mainly let these prisoners build fortifications and wait for the upcoming army to arrive at Jinmen.
The high school team, on the other hand, led the team along the river towards the capital.
Yuan Qingkai's task with the high school team is not easy either.
They mainly attacked fort positions such as Langfang, Tongzhou and Lugou.
They will invade the capital within three days.
The staff analysis of this battle revealed only one word: Be fast! Be fast, be fast!
Only by being quick can Qianlong be stunned.
Only speed can make Qianlong afraid.
Only quickly could Qianlong obediently implement the follow-up plan in their own way.
Therefore, this plan was jokingly called "Operation Fast Man" by Chen Mu.
But Li Ye and others from the staff called this: "Operation Stew".
Thirteenth day!
With the fall of the important town of Jinmen, the Qing government's red-feathered messengers once again ran toward the capital day and night with urgent military information.
On the other hand, the vanguard force led by Yuan Qingkai also arrived in Langfang smoothly.
After the two armies met, Yuan Qingkai said nothing to them at all.
"put!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless rockets flew out and then landed on the top of the Langfang defenders' fort.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Countless explosion sparks and smoke rose.
The fort was directly blown up!
Subsequently, the vanguard troops landed, but the defenders in Langfang broke up and fled without even holding on for dozens of seconds.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, Yuan Qingkai said: "This horse riding is completely crushing!"
He asked people to pick up the loudspeakers and directly asked people to persuade them to surrender.
"We will not kill the prisoners, and the soldiers will not kill them when they surrender. They put down their weapons and lie on the ground with their heads in their hands."
Yuan Qingkai led 600 soldiers to run around to gather the defeated Langfang Qing army!
The battle lasted five minutes and the capture took six hours.
A reinforced battalion led by Yuan Qingkai captured 2,500 people and wiped out 300 enemies in this battle.
The key point is that Eduo, the deputy general of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty who was stationed in Langfang, was a warrior who loved the Qing Dynasty.
In order to show his bravery and stimulate morale, he personally led the attack!
Then it was blown into pieces by a cannon.
This is also the reason why the Qing army in Langfang was defeated so quickly.
In short, Yuan Qingkai's goal was achieved, and they easily occupied Langfang.
He took out his walkie-talkie and shouted to the high school team in the rear: "Old Gao, there are too many prisoners in Langfang. Our people can't see them. Let the reinforcements from the rear come over quickly!"
"I know, I know!" The high school team answered the phone and then contacted Jinmen Zhuang Yan, asking him to urge the tens of thousands of troops in the rear.
Of course, four thousand people is not all the strength.
In order to compete for these important positions, they dispatched a total of 14,000 troops.
This is sending all the troops from the south over.
However, the south has begun large-scale production of weapons and ammunition, and now the southern provinces are not afraid of Qing attacks at all.
The success of the Langfang battle exceeded everyone's imagination.
The troops in the north of the Qing Dynasty were even more protruding than those in the south. I really don’t know how the Qing Dynasty suppressed the rebellion in these years.
When Yuan Qingkai stopped and gathered the prisoners, the Qing Navy in Denglai also suffered a fatal blow!
The troops who had been stationed in Wanwan made a large circle and sent messages through the radio station. They launched an attack on the Qing Navy at the same time.
Although Denglai's soldiers are mostly equipped with breech-loading paper rifles, they are equipped with a large number of machine guns.
These cross-era weapons directly address the disparity in numbers.
Only a few heavy machine guns are needed to easily block the charge of thousands or even thousands of people!
On the 13th, in just one day, Chen Mu directly conquered the three important military areas of Jinmen and Denglai, and captured the pass from Langfang to the capital.
The success of this battle exceeded everyone's expectations.
Soon, Denglai, Langfang, and the Jinmen messengers all ran towards the capital with the bad news.
Say something funny!
The Langfang messengers actually arrived in the capital one step ahead of the Jinmen messengers.
The evening of September 13th.
Several messengers from Langfang arrived in the capital with the bad news.
They climbed up the city wall in a gondola overnight, and then ran towards the military aircraft.
The capital city, which was already in a state of turmoil because of the loss of weapons, was completely disturbed by the military situation suddenly reported by the messengers!
"Langfang was captured in less than a quarter of an hour?"
Agui, who was working at night in the military aircraft department, was stunned when he heard the news: "What the hell are you kidding?"
"Master, Langfang is really gone! Langfang is gone!" the ordering soldier howled loudly.
"This is impossible! How can the enemy be so powerful?" Agui screamed, questioning the military status of the messenger.
"Master, you really can't lie. Those enemies are too powerful. Their firearms can easily hit us four hundred steps away. Their artillery can burst into flames, and one bomb can kill our colleagues within a few feet!"
Thinking of the terrifying artillery shells, the messenger trembled and said: "Those artillery shells came overwhelmingly. I saw with my own eyes that after a thousand-man green camp was covered, only a few hundred people were still standing."
Agui's face was ferocious: "You said those enemies came from the sea, so why is there no news from Tianjin? Are you lying about the military situation?"
"Report! There is urgent news coming from eight hundred miles away from Tianjin."
As soon as A Gui finished speaking, a messenger came from outside with news.
When I opened the file, I found that it contained a final letter from the deputy general Fukang Shuo who was stationed in Jinmen!
Agui felt his eyes turned black and almost fell down.
"It's over. Jinmen fell on the same day."
After a while, Liu Tongxun, Gao Bin, Lai Bao and other military ministers also arrived here one after another.
Listening to the messengers delivering the bad news one after another, their hands and feet felt cold.
Jinmen and Langfang are important passes protecting the waterway of the Capital Canal.
If these two places are damaged, the capital will also be in danger.
"Quick, go find your Majesty!"
Everyone quickly looked for Qianlong.
Qianlong, who had long been awakened by the urgent military situation, was already waiting for the arrival of his ministers in the main hall.
"Master, the enemies who attacked our Jinmen and Langfang have been identified. They are Southern Barbarians and people from Western European countries."
"They had sharp firearms and conquered two important towns in one day."
"The enemy will definitely march towards Tongzhou at this moment. If Tongzhou is not protected, the capital will also be in danger."
Qianlong suppressed his fear and panic: "Then summon all the ministries to defend Tongzhou. We must not let those Nanbarbarians rush to the capital."
If those people are allowed to rush over, the capital will experience the biggest crisis since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
Qianlong was very happy about his success, but he was a sensible man. He never put himself in danger.
Just now while waiting for the military commander, he even had the idea of letting his wife and children run towards his hometown.
However, when he thought of doing this, the morale of the Qing army was completely unstable, and he could only suppress the urge to escape.
Do you really hope that the Eight Banners warriors in Tongzhou can hold off the enemy's attack?
"Master, the enemy comes from the water, and their firearms are very powerful. The only thing that can deal with firearms is firearms. But all the firearms in the capital have been lost, and it will take five days for our reinforcements from other routes to arrive."
"Then what should we do? We can't let me, Qing, fight the enemy with a bow and arrow, right?"
Saying that bows and arrows conquer the world is just for the eyes of the mud.
In the early days of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Han Army's firearms camp was used to conquer the world.
A few days ago, they discovered that the barbarian firearms were terrifying. They quickly equipped themselves with firearms and purchased armaments on a large scale.
Now that our firearms are gone, we can't use human lives to pile them up.
He couldn't let the Eight Banners soldiers die, could he?
"The capital has quickly deployed its defenses and prepared supplies to defend the city. We only need to wait until King Qin's army arrives, and then we have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
Qianlong thought for a while: "Quickly notify Jianrui Camp and ask them to come to King Qin quickly."
