Although the Eight Banners firearms from the capital of the Qing Dynasty were stolen, there were still many firearms troops outside.
Among them, the Eight Banners troops stationed in various departments are equipped with a small number of firearms.
As for the most elite firearms unit, we must mention the Xishan Jianrui Battalion.
Xishan Jianrui Camp was actually established not long ago and was reorganized at the end of the 13th year of Qianlong's reign.
The Jianrui Battalion was also the most special combat unit in the Qing Dynasty.
They are warriors who are proficient in firearms, bows and horses.
The best among the best!
The Jianrui Battalion was mainly composed of elites from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, who were extremely loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Their troops have a fierce style, are equipped with elite firearms, and have made great achievements in combat for more than ten years.
Qianlong could only hope that this army could perform miracles at this moment.
No, I keep thinking about firearms versus firearms, why did I forget about the cavalry.
Qianlong looked at several ****.
Forget it, my family knows their own affairs.
These guys have a knack for playing with birds in cages and visiting flower houses, making them gallop... This is making things difficult for them!
He had to focus on several of Korxi's relatives.
There are more than a hundred flags in Inner and Inner Mongolia, and if you pull them randomly, there will be hundreds of thousands of young soldiers.
Although these soldiers and horses will definitely suffer great damage when faced with firearms, the Manchu and Mongolian families have been close for many years, and it is time to show your loyalty.
Thinking of this, Qianlong looked at some of his close relatives.
"Baltu, Baotai, your two troops are closest to me. Quickly gather 20,000 troops and come to serve the king."
The two Mengjun princes quickly saluted: "Cha!"
"Namoku, Banjul, your herdsmen are herding horses around the capital. Since we are close to the capital, we have also sent 20,000 reinforcements to King Qin."
"twitter!"
Qianlong kept issuing orders to these big men of the Mongolian king.
As long as they could reach the capital within half a month, orders were issued.
Subsequently, Qianlong mobilized troops and horses from Xuanfu and other important towns to come to the rescue.
As for other ministries, Qianlong did not convene them.
It would take a month for these large armies to arrive, so it would be better to rely on the forces surrounding the capital for defense.
Although the Eight Banners' more than 100,000 troops did not have firearms, they still had bows and arrows and fortified cities.
If such a huge city could not defend against the enemy, then the Qing Dynasty might as well have perished.
But thinking about the battle report he saw today, he felt a little unreliable.
The commander-in-chief of Jinmen Port is Amuti, an elite member of the Eight Banners.
As orders were issued one after another, the Qing government began to operate at high speed.
"By the way, catch those Nanman envoys. I want to ask why they attacked the Qing Dynasty for no reason!"
Gao Bin stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, no! The Nanman envoys came to see the people of Honglu Temple a few days ago. They said that if they were prohibited from exchanging letters, their maritime army would definitely attack our Qing Dynasty."
"Is there anything else going on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also know what I have learned in the past few days. I heard that all the letters sent by the Nanman envoys in the past few days have been blocked. I have asked them and heard that the envoy has protective measures. If the letters are blocked for three days, they will
Then send troops to attack our Qing Dynasty."
Gao Bin told Qianlong the reason.
Qianlong gritted his teeth: "You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being defeated and perished? By the way, why are their correspondence controlled?"
Gao Bin looked at Agui.
A Gui, who was originally at ease, panicked. He thought for a moment and then said in panic: "Master, this slave is good at making decisions. I lost countless firearms in the past few days. In order to prevent the firearms from being controlled by the southern barbarian, I...I specially asked someone to take them away."
The envoys are under house arrest."
Qianlong was so angry that his nose was a little crooked. He wanted to curse, but he thought that he seemed to have issued an order to block the city gate, which made him quite depressed.
"Agui, since there is such a misunderstanding, then go and explain the matter to Long Guo in person."
"You have to ask if you have not treated them well, and you have to apologize properly. You have to delay the other party until we find enough weapons to fight and take revenge. Do you understand?"
Agui nodded apprehensively, then said goodbye and left.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, it's already late at night. If we rush over to inquire and ask them to write a letter of armistice, they will definitely be alerted."
Laibao and others also quickly stopped: "Yes, Master, although we have not informed them about the theft of our weapons, if the Nanman envoys know that our coastal defense pass is like tofu, it will be broken into pieces... then... they may take this as an excuse."
Why are you threatening the Qing Dynasty?"
Qianlong thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case: "Then let's go there early tomorrow morning. It will take some time for the sea ship to sail to Tongzhou. Our Qing army has strong troops and horses. Maybe we can defeat the enemy before coming to Tongzhou!"
Agui still wanted to speak, but Qianlong drove him away.
Walking all the way, Agui felt extremely depressed.
Because Li Shiyao, Gao Bin and others had repeatedly stated that the Southern Barbarians and Western Europeans were extremely terrifying, and that a hundred thousand troops had been defeated, Qianlong did not dare to make things difficult for Chen Mu and other envoys.
There was a case of missing firearms a few days ago, and Agui took the opportunity to put them under house arrest for a few days.
Who would have thought that these Nanman barbarians who don't know etiquette would be so arrogant and would start fighting whenever they were told.
He became even more angry when he thought about the guy handing him a dagger and then saying he wanted to wipe his neck.
Why did the Jinmen Navy and Langfang troops fight so poorly?
It didn't last even a day before it was conquered.
This group of barbarians will attack the gate of Tongzhou. If one of them fails, they will attack the capital city.
His idea of taking personal revenge seemed to be in vain.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
Those people who protect the mission in this way must attach great importance to some etiquette.
If the Qing Dynasty were defeated, then his future would be worrying.
Why do you think about the defeat of the Qing Dynasty?
If the Qing Dynasty defeated these invading enemies, it might be able to make up for it.
In this way, Agui stayed up all night.
On the second day, Agui led a team and rushed towards Chen Mu's residence.
As soon as I arrived at the embassy, I met Chen Mu and others sitting leisurely enjoying the cool air.
Before Agui opened his mouth, Chen Mu spoke first: "This is the fifth day. It seems that our army has already attacked the Qing Dynasty. Why do you come to me to ask for guilt?"
Agui was furious: "You...are you saying that the attack on our Qing Dynasty really has something to do with the country behind you?"
Chen Mu Tan started: "Who told you to restrain us from writing letters for no reason? We all said that as long as we can't exchange letters for a few days, there will definitely be chaos."
Damn it, isn’t it just a ban on communication for a few days? Why is the stress reaction so great?
They actually sent a large army to attack. Why are these southern barbarians and Western Europeans so unreasonable?
Thinking about what Qianlong said before coming here, Agui suppressed his anger and said: "Today, there was indeed a message from a messenger that our Jinmen was invaded by foreign enemies and we were repulsed. I came here today just to ask you to give them
Send me a letter asking them to stop attacking our Qing Dynasty."
What a tough-tongued duck.
Chen Mu suppressed his laughter and pretended to sigh: "Hey, did I just say, don't let you stop our letter? You don't believe it! Now, they have sent troops. I can't stop it. Hey, then
A few thousand people are just a vanguard force, I think tens of thousands of troops will follow soon."
Speaking of this, Chen Mu shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how many bloody things will happen!"
Are there tens of thousands more troops coming?
Four thousand people are uncomfortable enough.
The Nanmanzi and the Western Europeans only dispatched more than 4,000 people and easily defeated the elites of the Qing Dynasty.
If tens of thousands more troops come over, won't these people stab me through the Qing Dynasty?
What should I do?
Agui broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, thinking carefully about how to persuade Chen Mu.
wrong!
Chen Mu can't stop it?
There is just a way to stop it!
Thinking of this, Agui breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was going to bleed heavily.
He smiled and said: "There are many rare treasures in my house that can be tasted by the ambassador. I hope the ambassador will stop these unfair behaviors, otherwise the Qing Dynasty will use weapons, which will be bad for both of us."
"Don't worry, those warship commanders are not stingy people. As long as you can provide enough rare treasures, I will definitely help you."
I really want to kill this person with a knife!
Agui held back her anger, smiled and asked someone to prepare gifts.
Provide Chen Mu with yellow and white things. This is too vulgar.
What I brought here were some treasures.
Jade, rare treasures, and all kinds of calligraphy and paintings are all items with high artistic appreciation value.
"No gold? No silver?"
Agui was startled, and her taste in these people dropped again.
"The yellow and white items are too heavy. One hundred thousand taels will be given to the envoy in the future."
"Only one hundred thousand taels? It's not even enough to launch our warship."
"Why are you so open-mouthed?"
"Where did I open my mouth? I'm just talking about the matter."
"In this case, I will offer you another hundred thousand taels of silver. Please write a letter to end these misunderstandings."
"One million taels."
"Ambassador, we in the Qing Dynasty have two million soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Sage felt that the weapons were dangerous and didn't want to cause a war, do you think your soldiers could have returned safely?"
Chen Mu laughed in his heart and wanted to say that your two million soldiers are all vain. They are not enough to destroy them with a few of my weapons.
It's a pity that he can't say it.
"Okay, five hundred thousand taels, I'll write a letter to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do this business."
Agui was so angry that his blood boiled: "Ambassador, I only give you three hundred thousand taels!"
"Deal." Chen Mu grinned.
Afterwards, Chen Mu returned to his residence and pretended to write a letter.
After writing the letter, he handed it to Agui: "Can you please read the letter and see if there is anything wrong with it?"
Then he handed him a delicate pen: "This is my token. Let me bring it to the commander of the high school team. He will naturally stop military operations after reading the letter."
Agui quickly took the letter and found that the text on the letter was quite good, but the entire text was made up of false characters and typos.
Holding back his disdain, he continued to read the contents of the letter.
The content of the letter stated that it was his fault that he fell ill during the trip and did not send a letter to the army.
Ask them to stop all emergency operations.
Then he said that the Qing government was loyal and gave him 100,000 taels of carriage fare, and everyone would share it with him.
"is that OK?"
Agui smiled and nodded. She complained in her heart that this guy had stolen two hundred thousand taels of silver by changing hands.
It is truly greedy.
Chen Mu held the fire seal that he carried with him.
Seal, encapsulate.
"alright!"
Agui took the letter sealed with fire paint and said goodbye to Chen Mu with a forced smile.
Then people rushed these letters to Tongzhou...
