Chapter Sixty-nine: The Princess of Qing Dynasty and the Prototype
Chaoyang Gate.
"The bandits killed these days, my newly built garden!"
Fengen Fuguo Duke Yili howled in grief and anger.
In the city not far away in front of him, a flowering bullet with a twenty-pound mortar exploded. A newly built building in his house, Prince Heng's Mansion, collapsed in the explosion, and then the fire rose. He could even see how the concubines fled around in horror.
As he spoke, two smoke traces in the sky on the right, one in front and one behind, crossing the city wall, falling like a meteor, and hitting into the roof of Nanxincang, which instantly disappeared in the splash of tiles. The next moment, accompanied by the explosion of flames, the roof sprayed into the sky in pieces, and then the same flame rose, and a large group of flag-men and women, old and weak, quickly rushed into the warehouse full of food with buckets.
And shells are still falling in the sky.
It is obvious that Ming Jun is very clear about what is the most important behind the wall between Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhi Gate, and where are these important goals in specific locations.
Most of the shells were located in several warehouses that hoarded grain.
By the way, this can be considered unlucky for the Qing army.
Due to layout, several major granaries in the city, such as the North-South New Warehouse, the Sea Transport Warehouse, and the Xingping Warehouse, are basically close to the city wall. The grain transported from Tongzhou can enter the city at Chaoyang Gate or Dongzhi Gate and then enter the warehouse directly. Even if the farthest from the city wall, it is only more than one mile away. The Ming army's 20-kilogram mortar cannon fired four miles away. It is placed outside the range of artillery fire on the city wall. It can easily penetrate the shells into these warehouses. The arson effect of the shells is also very obvious. At this moment, as the shells continue to fall, almost all of these warehouses are coming out of thick smoke. The iron-core crops who are very clear about the importance of these warehouses are fighting hard to extinguish the fire, but it is obvious that their firefighting speed is far inferior to the speed of the shells.
There were eighteen mortars outside, and because of the inaction of the Green Camp and the defeat of Yijing against Tianjin again, a battalion of the Second Land Brigade was escorting the canal fleet with ammunition.
It is obvious that the Mingjun transportation line is unobstructed.
There are still thousands of tons of such shells waiting to be shot in Tianjin!
If not enough, there is still some later.
At most one and a half months later, the Ming army's transport fleet will return, and the scale will be larger than the last time, because another batch of new transport ships in the shipyard has been delivered. The next batch of transport ships will not only transport more ammunition, but also transport reinforcements from two infantry brigades. The third batch of reinforcements will be transported to Tianjin by the end of the year, and the Marines will be replaced and returned. The newly formed Eighth Army will be responsible for subsequent operations in the north. The four infantry brigades under this army will also form at least three infantry brigades locally to make the total force reach seven brigades.
This is the maximum that Yang Feng can maintain through maritime transportation at present.
Of course, this is all future.
Now he is going to keep causing trouble to these hard-core farmers in Sijiu City. Anyway, he is not ready to really attack the city. All he has to do is to keep shooting the city. This is the inner city. In addition to the very few business people, there are also ministers who have given or borrowed money. Almost all the city is bannermen. Yang Feng doesn’t care about their casualties!
By the way, all he wants is collateral casualties.
A total of fifty-two cannons belonging to the First Land War Brigade were lined up outside Chaoyang Gate, constantly pouring flowering bullets into the city. The captains of the artillery teams had a map of Beijing City in their hands, which marked in detail all important warehouses, official offices, the residences of princes and ministers, and the barracks of the Eight Banners. The distances and directions of these targets were very clear, and they would not be unable to aim due to the barriers of the city walls. Yang Feng even deliberately raised a hot air balloon to shoot. In short, the captains of the artillery teams chose their targets freely and would hit wherever they wanted within the range.
Speaking of which, the Ming army artillery had a good time, and the hardcore crops in the city were in trouble.
At this time, most of them were wooden buildings.
The Ming army shells were all accompanied by strong arson effect. After less than an hour of blasting, there were already fires everywhere in the city. The rolling smoke covered almost half of the inner city. The hardcore crops were running around to put out the fire, but they put out one place and ignited many places, especially the warehouses that were taken care of were getting stronger and stronger.
By the way, hardcore crops no longer have hope for these warehouses.
This thing is in a bad position.
So at this time, several military ministers and princes were personally directing people to urgently rescue the stored grain and then transfer them to the imperial city. After all, the Ming army's cannons could not reach the imperial city no matter what.
However……
"This requires a bigger cannon!"
Yang Feng said, looking at the rolling smoke in the city.
"Divine Emperor, the twenty-pound cannon is really small!"
Xu Hui beside him said with emotion.
"If you don't have enough 20 kilograms, you can change it to two hundred kilograms. Go and get some seized copper cannons for me. If you don't have enough copper cannons, you can get some copper coins. In addition, you also need some pig iron. I'll make you a big guy and make one for you that can weigh two hundred kilograms."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
This is easy to solve, just a single mortar during the Civil War.
This kind of mortar, which looks like a water tank, can only be fixed on a special base and takes a long time to shoot, can shoot two hundred pounds of shells out of a full four thousand meters. He enlarged the caliber to eleven inches, which is three or four thousand meters, and the barrel was slightly extended, and the bronze was better. It can basically cover most of the inner city. At least it was enough to hit the shells on the top of the Daoba's head.
"Your Majesty, there is a team of people in the city coming out of Andingmen and coming towards this side."
Suddenly an officer reported.
"Go and have a look!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
Because he had too few troops, he could not block the entire Beijing city. The Ming army now only blocked the second gates of Chaoyang and Dongzhi, and did not care about the other gates. In fact, he could not control it. At most, several teams of soldiers were patrolling around on captured war horses.
Soon a team of patrol cavalry came over with a group of zombies.
"Pan Shien."
Yang Feng looked at the old man in the lead curiously.
The old guy had white hair, and with a ruby top, he knelt on the ground sensibly, and the few accompanying people behind him also knelt on the ground. By the way, their movements were perfect.
"You are the Minister of Military Affairs of the Tartars?"
Yang Feng looked at him playfully and said, "You are not in the city waiting for Minning to die, what are you going to see me?"
"When you say that, your Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was originally a brother of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Jiashen year, the rebellion broke into Beijing, causing the martyrdom of Emperor Zhuang Liemin of the Guichao. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was invited by the people in the pass to enter the pass, destroy the rebellion and avenge the Ming Dynasty, and obtained the bandits in the Central Plains instead of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Hongguang was incompetent and incompetent to trust the treacherous treacherous people and made the people suffer. The destiny of the Ming Dynasty ended. The destiny of the Ming Dynasty went south to clear the bandits. It has been nearly two hundred years since then. In two hundred years, the political and political harmony and peace of the country can be called a prosperous era.
Even so, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty also knew that the land of Hongguang was indeed not correct.
Fortunately, Your Majesty re-establishes the country of Ming Dynasty.
The Emperor of Qing Dynasty was willing to return the Ming Dynasty to the south of the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River from Yichang to Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Jiangsu to the south of the Yangtze River. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were divided into rivers and governed by the Yangtze River as the boundary, and rebuild the brothers' good deeds."
Pan Shien said tremblingly.
"Do you think I'll agree?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
He really didn't expect Daoguang to play like this. I have to say that these guys are so cute. No wonder they are played with by the British. Kang Mazi will be angry to death if he wants to survive. Of course, he also knew that Daoguang was seeking medical treatment in an emergency. After all, he was blocked by him. He had to try it out.
"Your Majesty, although Your Majesty has obtained Guangdong and Guangxi, she has not yet left Hunan and Jiangxi. It is extremely generous to our Qing Dynasty to return to the south of the Yangtze River. Although Your Majesty has forced Beijing, your Majesty has come across thousands of miles across the sea. Is it possible for a long time? What's more, Your Majesty is still fighting with the British. Is Your Majesty not afraid of the British attacking Guangdong and Guangxi? To show the sincerity of the Qing Emperor, Your Majesty, I am willing to give Your Majesty another 10 million taels of silver to marry Your Majesty with Princess Shouzang Heshuo..."
Pan Shien said.
"puff!"
Yang Feng, who was drinking juice, squirted on his old face.
"Well!"
Pan Shien wiped his face awkwardly.
"Get out, go back and tell Min Ning, keep his daughter and keep his 10 million. Everything I have to conquer this Beijing city is mine, his money is mine, and his women are mine. As for the land of the Ming Dynasty, what is lost on the Ming battlefield will be taken back on the battlefield and ruled by the river? What qualifications does he have to rule with me? Tell him that like Zhu Cihuan, Lingchi is his only end."
Yang Feng held him over and shouted.
Pan Shien wanted to talk a few more words, but was picked up by the Ming soldiers on both sides.
"Wait a moment!"
Yang Feng suddenly said.
Pan Shien looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"You have compiled the Siku Quanshu, so you don't need this face!"
As Yang Feng spoke, his fingers stretched out and stroked them at extremely fast speed. With Pan Shien's screams, he instantly cut off his ears and nose, and then pointed at his entourage and said, "Catch all these and send them to Nanyang!"
The entourages lie on the ground and kowtowed constantly, but were still quickly taken down by soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.
"First, the Second Battalion immediately bypassed Beijing, seized the Old Summer Palace and cleared it. If there was not enough manpower, go to Tongzhou to summon the people to join them and move away all the things that can be moved from the Old Summer Palace. You keep jewelry, gold and silver, and the rest will be rewarded to the people."
Amid Pan Shien's screams and their begging for mercy, Yang Feng said to Xu Hui.
"Will the garden burn?"
Xu Hui asked excitedly.
"The garden doesn't need to burn it anymore, but it just burns the things related to the Tartars. As for the garden, I will keep it to build a school in the future!"
Yang Feng thought about it and said.
It is also good to build a university in the Old Summer Palace in the future.
Chapter completed!
