Chapter 349 The English Mission to the Qing Empire!

"Alas..." In Jiangning Mansion, the government office of the governor of Liangjiang, Fu Kang'an, the first general of the Qing Dynasty, um, should be said to be the first general of the Qing Dynasty except for A Gui, the older generation. The prestigious General Fu is sitting in the lobby at this moment, frowning and sighing.

Nowadays, Fu Kang'an looks thinner than when he was in Guangdong and Guangxi. Although he is not a few years older, he has a few more lines on his eyebrows. There is no choice but to let the British guys attack Zhenjiang and stop the transportation.

Fu Kang'an never thought that he would have such an extremely difficult war. It's not that Fu Kang'an did not command the naval battle. When he pacified Lin Shuangwen in Taiwan, he also made a comparison or two times. In Guangdong, he also inspected and guided the construction of the sailors. Drops.

But the problem is that now the war with the British makes him deeply realize that the sailors of the Qing Dynasty really seem to be a little out of touch with the world. Not to mention that there are many sailors in the Qing Dynasty. There are two lake sailors inside, and four sailors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. It really doesn't sound, but in fact?

The main responsibility of the sailors in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong is not to play with a certain country in the sea. The purpose of establishing these sailors is to fight for smuggled and arrest, and only the Fujian sailors can really do something.

Because Fujian sailors are the only one to ensure that they can take photos to Taiwan at any time, they have been strengthening the construction of sailors since Kangxi. However, the so-called strengthening is only relative to other sailors.

It turned out that in the Kangxi Dynasty, the warships that imitated the Dutch had long been dead, and the warships allowed by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty could not exceed 5,000 stones at most, and merchant ships were even smaller. The reason is that they are afraid that someone will disturb their dreams with strong ships and cannons. Perhaps, in their eyes, they are the only ones in the whole world. If they build small boats, then there will be no big ships in the world. Although it is an idiot, the problem is indeed the truth, which has to make people feel speechless.

Now, the six major sailors of the Qing Dynasty are all defeated soldiers. The British are showing off their power under their own eyes, but Fu Kang'an can only hate itchy teeth, but they dare not let the sailors under their command rush to death.

After all, Jiangning Mansion cannot be lost. Nowadays, not only in the south of the Yangtze River, but also in the Central Plains, people are panicked. Who let the transportation be blocked? And Caoyun is connected with the aorta in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains. If there is an accident in the aorta, if there is no reaction between the two ends, they are all wooden people.

--------------------

Up to now, the price of rice in the Zhili generation has more than tripled. This is still a strict order in the court to increase the power of suppression. In addition, last year's ship arrived in Zhili, and today's transportation has not yet begun. Otherwise, God knows how much the price of rice will rise. It's really to the point of cooking without rice, not to mention the people, even the court and the army, I'm afraid it will be chaotic.

"Soft ribs, soft ribs, my Daqing's soft ribs." Fu Kang'an patted his thigh and sighed again. The army of the Qing Dynasty is more than one million, and there are many elites. The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Camp, as well as Guangxi and Guizhou soldiers, are all good at fighting. However, the sailors, so far, he has only felt that Liang Pengfei, the general soldier of Humen Town, the Guangdong navy, and his subordinates are still elites. He really doesn't care about the rest. In the eyes.

Whether it was in the past, it was to encircle and suppress the red flag to help Zheng Lianchang, to attack the Annan West Mountain Army, or to eliminate the pirate Cai Qian. Some time ago, he guarded the imperial tiger gate and refused to be outside the country. Every battle was not small, and every time the sailors of the Qing Dynasty always fell down, only This guy always looks so prominent that everyone else is defeated, but as long as he stands up, he can always win. Fu Kang'an has never thought of moving Liang Pengfei and the remnants of the Fujian Marine Division to the Yangtze River to fight a decisive battle with Na Yingyi.

But the problem is that not long after the British entered the Yangtze River in Guangdong and Fujian, Fu Kang'an received urgent reports from two places in a row. In the waters of Guangdong and Fujian, another huge fleet flying the British flag appeared in the waters of Guangdong, swimming in the waters of Fujian, although this fleet did not disturb the coast. The region, however, the huge number, and have passed the actual battle. Knowing that these powerful Qingshui divisions of Yingyi warships can only shrink and defend, how dare they leave the station and go to the Yangtze River.

Who knows if he will let another British fleet sink the sea directly on the way before reaching the mouth of the Yangtze River, which is really called unknown death.

Therefore, what Fukang'an can rely on is still only the two lake sailors. Although a lot of fishing boats have been collected and changed into warships, in addition to scaring people with the number, I'm afraid Fukang'an is embarrassed to mention any combat effectiveness.

There are Yingyi fleets outside and Yingyi fleets inside, and the sailors of the Qing Dynasty are all like geckos shrinking in the corner of the wall, which makes General Fu, the governor's military affairs, have no better way than squatting in the corner of the governor's mansion and cursing the British for having no dicks.

Of course, what Fu Kang'an didn't expect was that the British fleet looming on the seas of Guangdong and Fujian was actually made up by Liang Pengfei's instructions to make his own fleet. In order to make the Manchu Qing Dynasty unable and did not dare to concentrate all the surface forces to deal with the British ships currently swimming in the Yangtze River Basin. The team.

It is necessary to let the Qing state maintain a kind of pain in the fleet of dog biting the hedgehog and having nowhere to say. The longer it takes, the more the people will be suspicious of the power of the Qing government axe. At the same time, they can also take off the eye covering of the people of the heavenly kingdom covered their faces. Some people are willing to wake up from the beautiful dream of the heavenly kingdom of the heavenly dynasty. Come here, open your eyes and see that Shanghai's powerful countries in the world have no less than or even more maritime military capabilities than the heavenly kingdom, so that they can understand that the world has changed, so it is not in vain for Liang Pengfei to take so much effort.

"Marshal, Marshal Fu." Just as Fu Kang'an was wrinkled and worried, there were rapid footsteps and a somewhat anxious greeting outside the door. Before Fu Kang'an opened his mouth, Hailancha, who had been looking at the map of the Yangtze River, had raised his head and looked out of the door with some astonishment. Governor of the Book, why are you here?

"I have met General Hai and General Fu. I have to come." Shulin, the governor of the two rivers, hurriedly entered the gate, with a wry smile on his face. The sweat on his forehead clearly showed that Shulin seemed to have trotted all the way. However, what made the governor of the two rivers so nervous, which made Fu Kang'an and Na Hailancha couldn't help but stand up.

--------------------

"Brother Zhai, why are you so panicked?" Fu Kang'an stepped forward and asked. Shulin, the governor of the two rivers, Gao Jiashi, is Zizhai, and Nafu Kang'an are not only from Manchuria inlaid with yellow flags, but also the friendship between his father Gao Jinxi, a university scholar, and Fu Heng, the father of Nafu Kang'an. The two families also often have contacts. Shulin and Fu Kang'an'an's eldest brother, Fu Ling'an, who died of illness in the army, has a good personal relationship. Therefore, Fu Kang'an called it the character.

"Look at this, Yingyi actually played such a thing. Shu really doesn't know how to deal with it. In addition, this matter is of great importance, so I came to find the general to discuss it with General Hai." Shu Lin took out a small pile of white paper full of words from his horse's hoof sleeves and handed them to Fu Kang'an and Hailancha.

"The envoys of the Kingdom of England told the officials of the Qing Empire and the people... The army of our Kingdom of England is a division of civilization. It should be taken by the deeds of a gentleman, but if the officials of your country ignore the life and death of the people, and put our envoys in the cold of hunger and cold... The consequences should be borne by the officials and court of your country." Hailancha picked up a sentence reading the words above silently.

"This... these barbarians are really shameless!" After Hailancha saw the content of the book on the white paper, she couldn't help but send it all over it. She hit the table with her big hand, making the floor seem to tremble. Although she was nearly sixty years old, her courage and strength seemed to have not diminished.

Although Fu Kang'an's face still looks very quiet, everyone can feel that the anger in his eyes is quite bad. After a long time, Fu Kang'an smiled and said, "What a vicious trick."

"Why did the general say this? This is just a desperate move for Yingyi to cut off food and fodder now. We only need to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and strictly prevent the two sides of the river, so that Yingyi has no way to retreat. Next to him, A Baoji, the general of the Dongting Lake Division, looked puzzled.

As soon as he said this, Fu Kang'an didn't even raise his eyelids, but Hailancha next to him stared at the guy with the same name as Yelu Abaoji, the founding emperor of Daliao. Except for the brute force of A Baoji, there is no strategy and wisdom of A Baoji.

"What's the matter, Lord Hai, am I wrong?" A Baoji looked dissatisfied. These Yingyi have no ability at all. They rely on the cannon ships. As long as they run out of food and fodder, won't they take the initiative to retreat? At that time, we will chase again, and we will win all of them.

"Abao machine." At this time, Fu Kang'an, who had been silent, called faintly.

"The last general, what's the commander's order?" Hearing Fu Kang'an calling himself, A Baoji, who thought his wonderful strategy had been approved by Fu Kang'an, quickly stepped forward and listened to his orders.

"Go back to your warship. Without my order, you can't leave the ship for half a step. If you violate the order, kill!" Fu Kang'an slowly raised his head. Although his expression was still very calm, the slightly twitching corners of his mouth and the anger in his eyes made all the officials present shiver.

"Marshal, what did the last general do wrong?" A Baoji tilted his head in astonishment. After confirming that Fu Kang'an's order was really coming to him, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved. The last general can always abide by your orders and never dare to disobey, commander-in-chief.
