During the Great Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Borjigit was appointed, holding the young Kangxi in her arms and sitting behind the bead curtain.
In the hall, Obai and others were discussing the countermeasures intensely.
"The Ming thieves invaded Tianjin and shocked the capital. We, the Qing Dynasty, must not avoid the war and let the people of the world have ideas that they shouldn't have!"
Obai acted very strongly because he could never accept the weakness of the Qing Dynasty being displayed in front of everyone.
If the Ming army reached Tianjin, but the Qing Dynasty refused to fight, what would the world think?
If they didn't dare to fight, would the Eight Banners soldiers that the Qing Dynasty relied on have the nerve to claim to be invincible?
Once the invincible tiger skin of the Eight Banners Soldiers was torn off, how could the Qing Dynasty still rule the world?
To put it bluntly, letting the Ming thief stay in Tianjin is actually not a big problem.
The Ming thieves came from the sea, so their logistics must be limited, and their military strength would not be very large?
With such a small number of troops, let alone threatening the capital, I am afraid that even Tianjin cannot be defeated.
To put it bluntly, there is basically no threat!
However, the Ming army's move to land and harass Tianjin was not very harmful but extremely insulting!
To the Manchus, it was really disgusting!
Tianjin is the gateway to the capital. When the Ming Dynasty landed in Tianjin, it was no different than blocking the door of the Qing Dynasty.
Sony said.
“It’s time to send troops to Tianjin!”
"No matter what, we must drive the Ming thieves back to the sea."
"And we must block the news as much as possible. The New Year is approaching, and no Ming thieves can invade and affect the stability of our Qing Dynasty."
Ye Bilong opened his mouth and said.
"How about transferring the Dengzhou navy to defend Tianjin and repel the Ming thief navy?"
Ye Bilong felt that even if the Qing Dynasty drove the Ming thieves into the sea, it would not be the case if the Ming thieves had been blocking the sea outside Tianjin.
If the people of the world continue to have full confidence in the Qing Dynasty, it is also very necessary to repel the Ming navy and level the sea.
Feiyanggu narrowed his eyes and said.
"I can personally go to Tianjin to drive back the Ming thieves!"
In Fei Yanggu's opinion, if the Ming thieves dared to invade Tianjin so boldly, they were seeking death.
As long as the Qing Dynasty sends troops to attack, there is no reason to be invincible!
In addition, the battlefield is still close to the capital, right under your nose.
This was almost a free achievement, how could he not want it?
Therefore, Fei Yanggu stepped forward to take the credit!
Obai and others frowned, but still spoke.
"Your Majesty is determined to take charge, so naturally it would be the best thing to do!"
"It's just that the Ming thieves who invaded Tianjin are just scabies. There are no generals in the court who can lead the troops. How dare you work for the prince?"
"If such a trivial matter requires the prince's personal intervention, wouldn't it mean that the world would make fun of me and that there is no one in the Qing Dynasty?"
Oboi politely expressed his refusal.
Feiyanggu narrowed his eyes and said.
"Well, what Ao Shaobao said makes sense!"
"In that case, let the younger generation lead the troops and drive away the thieves!"
Fei Yanggu's words caused the expression on Obai's face, who wanted to lead the troops to quell the thieves, to get all the credit for nothing, to freeze.
That’s all Feiyanggu said!
If he stood up and asked for a fight again, wouldn't he be taking the initiative to demote himself?
Having a clear view of Obai's expression, a person next to Feiyanggu spoke.
"If you ask me, let Chentai lead the troops to Tianjin to quell the thieves!"
Chentai is Fei Yanggu's son.
He is also the next leader of the Zhenglan Banner.
Now is the time when military achievements are needed.
Fei Yanggu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he nodded slightly and said.
"Can!"
Seeing Fei Yanggu's stance like this, it was hard for others to raise objections.
With one word from one person, the matter was completely settled!
Then it’s time to discuss the deployment of troops!
Obai personally made the decision to mobilize 3,000 Manchu and Mongolian horse troops from the capital.
Ten thousand elite green battalion soldiers were mobilized from all over Beizhili.
Used to quell the Ming thieves who invaded Tianjin.
As orders were issued from the capital one after another, officials and soldiers throughout Beizhili were mobilized.
Green camp soldiers from Miyun, Changping, Baoding, Zhending and other places followed the official road and gathered towards the capital.
Along the official roads extending in all directions, the green battalion horse infantry of the Qing army can be seen marching everywhere.
In the capital, the Manchu and Mongolian horse teams of the Qing court were also rapidly gathering.
The women of the Eight Banners in the inner city and the outer city saw that their son was about to be sent to the battlefield. Every one of them burst into tears and showed great reluctance.
In recent years, the Qing Dynasty suffered several major defeats and even lost the entire Southern Kingdom.
In this process, the Eight Banners Army in the south was almost completely destroyed!
The circle of the Eight Banners is just that big. Everyone is related to each other. How can any family not have a relative die on the battlefield?
Not long ago, the southern expedition army had just set off, and the court had taken away their sons and husbands. Until now, no specific information about the war has been reported.
Now that the imperial court is gathering troops to go on an expedition and taking away their remaining sons and husbands, how can they be willing to do so?
However, no matter whether these Eight Banners women and children wanted to or not, they could not change the imperial decree.
Orders were issued one after another, and no matter how unwilling the Eight Banners men in the city were, they could only put on their armors and lead their horses to the school grounds to assemble.
Prepare to go out with the army!
…
After the Ming army landed at Dagukou, they tried to attack Tianjin but failed!
Therefore, they did not attack Tianjin again, but withdrew their troops and retreated to the tidal flats.
Defense fortifications began to be built around the Qing government's fort at Dagukou.
Prepare to rely on the naval gun support of the fleet at Dagukou to deal with the Qing court's counterattack.
The longer their unique force can hold on at Dagukou, the more soldiers and horses from the Qing court they will attract, and the more pressure they can reduce on the war in the south.
Add a weight to the decisive battle in Jiangnan and let the balance of victory tilt more towards Ming Dynasty!
This is the ultimate goal of the Ming Dynasty's Bohai Rim operation!
The Ming army unloaded bags of cement, as well as masonry and wood prepared in advance, and the engineering soldiers responsible for the construction began to be busy inside and outside.
Trenches gradually formed, and between the trenches, there were densely packed parapets, horse pits, traps, and various defensive facilities.
Each bunker is built with cement masonry, and the crossfire that the fort can form can cover the entire offensive surface of the fort.
Battleships lined up outside the entrance of Dagu, their dark heavy artillery muzzles aimed in the direction of the beach.
A simple fortress was built from scratch bit by bit in a very short period of time.
Small-caliber light artillery pieces were unloaded from the ships and placed at gun emplacements in the fortress.
The reason why only small-caliber light artillery is transported is because heavy artillery fire support can be provided by naval guns.
Furthermore, if there are only small-caliber light artillery in the fortress, it will be more convenient when it is time to evacuate.
After all, transporting heavy artillery is terrible!
Things that can easily weigh tens of thousands of kilograms are not something that can be easily moved.
Xu Shan was lying in a depression on the beach, looking towards the direction of Tianjin City with bright eyes.
Carefully observe the low city wall and keep an eye on the movements of the Qing troops in the city, lest the Qing troops in the city take advantage of the Ming army's unstable foothold to counterattack at Dagukou.
A cold wind blows from the sea, and the damp and cold feeling seems to penetrate into one's bones.
Xu Shan tightened his military uniform and shivered.
He is from the south, and what he can't bear the most is the severe cold in winter in the north.
As time passed, he finally made it to his shift change.
Xu Shan felt footsteps coming from behind him, turned his head and saw Tang Aren striding towards him.
"Company commander, why are you here in person?"
Xu Shan got up from the ground, saluted Tang Aren with a military salute, and then asked.
