Chapter 600: The Battle of the Qing Dynastys Destruction (I)

Whether the imperial examinations in Beihai Town can be held is a later story. However, when Shandong Governor Ji Qing's report arrived at Rehe at a speed of 600 miles, Qianlong was shocked by the contents above. The good mood brought by Fu Kang'an's defeat of Gurkha in the Battle of Dongjue disappeared instantly.

"The report of the saints and the saints were stolen. On July 20th, the slave invaded Rongcheng on July 16th, and there were twenty-four fish-raising ponds crossing the sea. The reason for the rebellion was:

...... According to reports from the slaves sent to Rongcheng to investigate the enemy soldiers, at the 16th, twenty-four pirate ships went straight into the ocean outside Yangyu Pond, and four three-masted gun ships sailed into Yangyu Pond Bay. After the navy's front battalion, Li Bao took the lead and supervised the troops to fire artillery and bombarded the rebel bandits. He vowed not to retreat to death, and cut off the large mast of a pirate ship and killed countless rebel bandits. After our front team was killed, the back team followed up and the rebel bandits retreated several times. Wuru rebel bandits landed about three to four thousand and four thousand, and the more they killed, the more they used the gun-carrying cannons that were red to the fore, and they still sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, but they were hard to resist the enemy. Li Bao, the guerrillas, were killed for a long time, and the rest of the soldiers were exhausted. There were many dead and there were no way to find out.

The rebel bandits then commanded the attack on Rongcheng County. Yang Naiming, the magistrate of the city, was in danger and was afraid that the capital would steal grain. He ordered Dianshi Wu Shanzhong to lead the village to protect the grain platform to the mountain temple outside the city, and delivered the seal to his family and asked the order to take it to Dengzhou Prefecture. However, the bandits were in great power and sent more than 2,000 people to attack the city, and two people were prepared to carry dozens of cannons and bombard Jingyuan Gate in the south. In the end, they were outnumbered and even lost.

When the slave heard the letter, he couldn't help but point out his eyes. However, the investigation of the rebel bandits was so arrogant that thousands of people had rushed to Wendeng, and they might not be spared. Now, Cao Zhitian, the Jiaodao of Denglai, has arrived in Dengzhou, and dispatched troops to Qingzhou. Laizhou soldiers are in an attempt to suppress the battle. Dengzhou General Entehemo and the prefect Lan Jiazan led the army and civilians to work together to defend the city. They hold the city to survive and dare not have the ambition to retreat, hoping to conserve the land. On the other hand, they send fine modifications to Wendeng and Rongcheng to investigate the enemy situation, and investigate Zhou Luduan, Deng Tingkai, Yang Naiming... and other bodies, as well as the whereabouts of the fallen generals and soldiers, there were several names of soldiers, summoned the sergeants, so they were not surprised and used by the thieves. They also sent officers to inspect spies in the coastal areas of Fucheng, Fushan County, and Ninghai Prefecture to install refugees.

...... The slave asked the ministry to punish the crime seriously, thinking that those who have lost their territory and lost their teachers are discouraged. The slave respectfully folds the instrument and reports to beg for the beg."

After reading the memorial, Qianlong picked up the pen and wrote at the end of the pen, "This should be investigated strictly afterwards, but it is not an urgent task at present. The rebels are likely to be the population. At present, they should calm down the mainland of the Eastern Province and not let the thieves rage Shandong and invade Zhili."

In Ji Qing's memorial, the content about the war between the two sides was extremely nonsense. Qianlong could tell at a glance that the weapons of the North Sea Pirates also "killed countless bandits"? I'm afraid they were killed as soon as they met.

Since the Qing court devoted all its efforts to invest in the war with Gurkha, the Ministry of Revenue was already stretched to the Northern Navy's offensive in Shandong this time. But even so, it would always be necessary to react. If it was not stopped, who would know if the Northern Navy would attack Jining and cut off the canal transportation?

After some consideration, the scheming Qianlong listened to the opinions of the Military Affairs Office and the Ministry of War, and immediately made the following arrangements.

Liu Yong, a bachelor of the cabinet, was appointed as the imperial envoy, and specially selected Jianrui Camp and 3,000 Imperial Guards of the Firearms, led by Ebu Lavandorji and Interior Minister Fucha Mingliang, rushed to Shandong. In addition, he transferred 5,000 Green Camps in Jiangsu and Henan to assist Shandong, and transferred Shanxi, and Zhili to Tianjin and Shanhaiguan to protect the capital. Shandong Governor Ji Qing was demoted to three levels and retained. Qianlong issued an edict to him to recruit troops from various regions in the province and green camps, and to fight to block the Northern Navy on the front line of Qixia Mountain to avoid the deterioration of the entire Shandong.

In addition, at sea, Qianlong ordered two second-level sailing ships stationed in Jinzhou Water Camp to withdraw to Dagukou, and defend the sea outside Dagukou with the three existing sailing ships, and wait for an opportunity to provide support from Laizhou Bay. As for Jiangsu Water Camp... Forget it, let's guard Jiangning well.

When Liu Yong went to Shandong, he would definitely not be able to rely on the troops to lead the troops to fight, but he was still quite skilled in managing the place. The most important thing is that his hometown is in Zhucheng, and he and his father Liu Tongxun had a high reputation in Shandong.

This time, Qianlong wanted to use Liu Yong's influence among Shandong gentry to fully mobilize the determination of gentry and gang training in various places to protect the countryside. In addition, Liu Yong was also responsible for understanding the intentions of the Northern Navy. Qianlong instructed him to delay time through negotiations if necessary. After the two sides fought over the years, the negotiations between the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Navy were held many times. Although almost every time they ended in disagreement, they could still sit down and talk.

After completing this arrangement, Qianlong’s only hope for Fukang’an is to destroy Gurkha as soon as possible and seize its territory. Although the place was too far away, Qianlong’s interest was the Himalayas in the middle. In addition, he heard from the Jesuit missionaries that India is rich in resources, not to mention that the Mughal dynasty is now in decline. The local kings in various places are even worse than the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, and their only opponent is the "Red-Haired Kingdom" in the south.

Gurkha was a way out for Qianlong to leave for Aisin Jueluo family and other Manchus. Although Zhao Xin did not kill the Manchus after occupying Ningguta, who knows whether he was acting like a confusing Manchus? What if Zhao Xin wanted to wait until he entered the pass before taking action, it would be too late by then!

At the same time, Fu Kangan, who was far away in Gurkha, was also making preparations at this time. He planned to completely solve Gurkha's resistance in one battle in Palanggu and take advantage of the situation to capture Yangbu. So far, almost all Gugang prisoners were killed by the Qing army, and Fu Kangan strictly followed Qianlong's decree and did not leave any Gugang leader who was captured or even surrendered.

Since the Battle of Dongjue on July 27 (the ninth day of the sixth lunar month), Fukang'an's army stayed in Yongya for more than 20 days, waiting for the food, ammunition and other materials from the rear to transport it. On July 2nd, the main force of the Qing army, who received the supplies, crossed Yongya Mountain and began to launch a fierce attack on the Gujun stronghold on the Galela Mountain in the south.

The entire battle was fought from morning to afternoon. The Qing army finally took advantage of the efforts of the Mucheng Stone Card on the top of the mountain, and then took advantage of the victory to chase the enemy to Dubumu Pass and continue climbing the mountain to defeat the Kuojun above.

History has reached a bifurcation at this moment. Because of the words Kong Shaoan and Helin said to him, and Zhao Xin's achievements over the years left a deep psychological shadow on Fukang'an, it eventually led to Fukang'an stopping in Duibumushan and giving up the overnight attack, which also prevented the defeat in the history of another time and space. While waiting for the military supplies in the rear, Qinggu and both sides entered a period of tranquility for twenty days.

At this time, the main force of the Qing army led by Fu Kang'an was not only killed, injured, and sent troops to defend the rear route, but there were less than 5,000 people. In addition, although the southern foot of the Himalayas was lower than the northern foot, the Qing army suddenly entered the humid and rainy southern slope from the cold wind and the dry air. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night was large, and many people fell ill.

Fortunately, while the team stopped, Huiling, who was in charge of logistics behind, was able to transport the army's food and grass continuously. Otherwise, with Fukang'an's advance speed, it would be impossible to catch up.

Since the war started, the Qing army's logistics supplies were relayed in segments, with Sun Shiyi responsible for the transportation of military supplies from the arrow furnace to the frontier Tibet, Jing'an, the vassal officer, was responsible for the transportation from the frontier Tibet to the border, and Huiling was responsible for the transportation from the frontier to the frontier. The three of them worked together, which made the frontier full of nothing.

Since the Qing army crossed the Himalayas, Huiling divided the 1,500 civilian team into ten units, and asked 150 people to transport 7,500 kilograms of tsampa every day, and repeated for ten days and one stage, so that they could supply the needs to go forward. In a high-altitude area of ​​more than 4,000 meters, carrying 50 kilograms is equivalent to carrying 100 kilograms. In addition, they had to bring their own food and water. In this way, each person would be at least 70 or 80 kilograms of weight. If there was no heavy reward, those Tibetans would not be so desperate.

What impressed the Qing army's officers and soldiers this time was the Mukashi Fortress of the Gurk army, as well as the firing guns and 12-pound cannons provided by Beihai Town. The former was found on almost every river bank, cliffs and mountain tops along the way, which was a matter of time; while the latter provided great help to the Qing army to take down these fortifications, especially the 12-pound cannon, which was not only farther than the Qing army's mountain-splitting cannons and was more powerful, but also because of the use of cannon wheels with bearings, it was much more convenient to move.

At this time, Helin led the firearm battalion to conquer many fortifications along the way of the Gu Army, and had previously transported the military supplies to Tibet on schedule. He had received many commendations from Qianlong, and he took several purses given by the emperor alone. Now his imperial edict to be promoted to the Manchu governor of the White Banner of the Inlaid White Banner is on his way to Tibet. Having such a brother who can fight such a war will make Heshen, who is powerful in the court and the opposition, feel very proud.

In the late seventh month of the lunar calendar, with the 1,000 Jinchuan soldiers coming from Sichuan and 2,000 people led by Sichuan Admiral Chengde arrived on the front line, including 15,000 kilograms of gunpowder, more than 200 lead bullets, and 10,000 arrows, a large number of military supplies, including the front camps. Fu Kangan felt that the time had come, so after summoning the military discussion, he decided to dispatch the army to the ancient Palang place at the foot of Dubumu Mountain.

In the early morning of September 9, 1792, that is, on July 22, the 57th year of Qianlong, the Qing army divided into three groups, and the middle route was led by Helin, Chengde, Sangistal, Melgenbao, Zhang Zhiyuan, Delentai, Kejie'er, Daerjinga, Xue Dalie, Tunbeilanger, crossed the river through the upper reaches of the Henghe River to attack Jimujishan. Fukang'an led Eerdenbao, 75, Eerjinbao, Dingxiding, Wushao, Zhang Zhilin, Yang Yuchun and others attacked from the left, Taifei Ying'a led Zhuerhanga, Ahabao, Tourde, Dayintai, Zhang Zhankui, Tunbeissemuliyongzhong and others attacked from the right.

Palanggu - its name comes from a rapid flow from northeast to southwest into the Tersuri River. It is also the place where the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat in another time and space, and finally stopped. There is a bridge on the river, and the Gua Army still guards the bridge and builds stone cards on both sides of the north and south. On the south bank of the river is the Jiaergula Mountain and Jimuji Mountain. The two mountains are connected. The ridges are from east to west, and the length is seventy or eighty miles long. There are dozens of Mucheng Talk Cards arranged on it.

After these days of whistle detectives reconnaissance and interrogation of the captive Gu's army, Fu Kang'an and his generals knew that once they conquered this place, they would be Nayakot, the capital of the Shah Kingdom, and from there, they would only be more than 60 miles to Yangbu, and they would be able to reach the city in one day.

In the early morning of July 22, the Qing army led by Helin, Zhonglu, formed a formation at the foot of the mountain on the north bank of the Henghe River. Ten 12-pound cannons and more than twenty mountain-splitting cannons lined up. The soldiers of the firearm battalion, holding Beihai Town firing guns and Qing army standard mesh guns, hid behind the shield to cover them.

As a long conch sounded, several war drums were also sounded, and then the Qing army's artillery opened fire on the Koujun on the south bank.

Since participating in the first battle, the Qing army's gunners discovered that the snowy plateau was very evil. In the past, when testing artillery fires in plains, as long as the target is aimed carefully, they can always shoot after firing. But since we got here, if we have to hit the angle given by the sight, the shells will often go beyond the target and hit the back. Later, the Qing army's gunners could only rely on their experience and lower the muzzle for a certain half degree after each aiming, so that they could hit it.

They didn't know that in fact, this result was caused by the plateau's oxygen-deficient environment. The air was thin, and the resistance after the shell was released from the barrel was small, so naturally it would be farther away.

After the Qing army launched the artillery attack on the middle road, Fu Kang'an and Tai Feiying'afen led the left and right routes to move from the dense forest to the top of the mountain, and then launched attacks on the Kuojun fortifications on the east and west sides respectively.

When the Gujun saw that there were Qing troops everywhere on the mountain, they were panicked. At this time, He Lin ordered the musketeers to seize the bridge, and at the same time ordered the 12-pound cannon to replace the flowering bullets to shell the wooden city on the mountain. The Musketeers' wooden city was erected with large wood, and then tied with bamboo and rattan. It was naturally strong in the face of bows, arrows, swords and guns, but when they encountered flowering bullets, they were like paper. Dozens of shells hit, and a big fire ignited in the wooden city. The Gujun at the foot of the mountain was defeated and hundreds of people were sent to destroy the bridge. As a result, the Qing army's musketeers rushed out wildly, killing and injuring more than 200 people on the spot. The Qing army immediately competed to cross the bridge and capture the bridge's south block card.

Afterwards, the Qing army climbed the mountain and rushed into Mucheng, and started a close battle with the Gucheng. The battle situation was extremely tragic. When Qianqing Gate Gucheng was climbing to Mucheng, Melgenbao, Guard Tourdei, and General Zhang Zhankui were shot and killed on the spot.

More than six hours later, all the wooden city on the top of the mountain were conquered, and more than 2,000 people were killed in the Gu army, most of whom were driven to the edge of the cliff and fell to death. After the three troops gathered, Fu Kangan immediately ordered the entire army to launch a general attack on the Gu army entrenched in the Jiaergula Mountain.

The Jiaergula Mountain is steep and steep, and the distance from the foot of the mountain is more than twenty miles. The Gua Army in the Mucheng above is high, and Helin's cannons are not reaching the foot of the mountain. After the Qing army launched an attack, the Gua Army immediately fired guns and cannons. Because it was an upward attack, there was nowhere to hide along the way, and the first wave of attacking team suffered heavy casualties.

The Gurkhas were also crazy. They all knew that there was a royal city behind them. If they could no longer stop the Qing army, the Shah Kingdom would have to stop. So when the Qing army retreated to the foot of the mountain, more than 2,000 Gugangs on the mountain immediately launched a counterattack. He Lin was overjoyed when he saw it. I couldn't reach you at the top of the mountain, so don't think of running away when you come down!

In an instant, in the valley, smoke filled the guns and guns and guns roared, and plum needles and arrows that were as dense as raindrops kept whistling in the air, screaming and wailing one after another. The small valley became a Shura field in a blink of an eye. At the same time, two other Guarante troops with thousands of people arrived one after another, launching a siege towards the Qing army from the west and northeastern sides. These Guarante troops were elite troops transferred back from Zhemengxiong (Sikkim), and were also the last resistance force of Guarante.

Fortunately, Fu Kangan has prepared enough troops and ammunition this time. If there were no three thousand Jinchuan soldiers and rattan soldiers, the Qing army would have a slight advantage in terms of numbers, and it might be a big defeat.

The battle lasted from night until noon the next day. Both sides fought fiercely around Jimu Jishan and Jiaergula Mountain. The blood was killed in the Guer army, and the Qing army finally captured the bunker on Jiaergula Mountain. During this period, more than a dozen Qing generals were shot and killed, and even the leader of the Sorenbar tiger soldiers was shot and killed by the Guer army. However, the most amazing thing was Yang Yuchun. This guy led hundreds of people from east to west, covered in blood, and his helmet was replaced by another shot, but he was not injured.

When the Qing army occupied the Mucheng bunker on the top of the mountain, the more than 2,000 fleeing troops gathered again under the organization of several generals to try to launch a counterattack. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, it started to rain heavily in the sky.
