Chapter 343 Angry Qianlong!
"Fed, these Yingyi dog thieves!" Qianlong's hand kept hitting the sandalwood case, and his white-haired old face was extremely twisted and ferocious. He squeezed out such a sentence viciously from between his teeth.
On the floor of the hall, it has long been full of civil and military ministers, and no one dares to open their voices at this time to anger Emperor Qianlong, who is already angry with MAX. No one expected that such a major event that shocked the government and the opposition would have heard at the imperial meeting, which should have been to sing and dance to the level.
That is, the British brazenly drove the warship into the Yangtze River, broke through the east fort of Wusongkou at night, and then went up against the river. Dozens of warships went straight to Zhenjiang and attacked Zhenjiang repeatedly. Most of the Zhenjiang city defenses were destroyed, and the Zhenjiang wharf was almost a ruin. Fortunately, Li Jinzhong, the general of the Zhenjiang camp, worked hard. The leader fought to the death. Songnan Water Division Battalion and Nanhui Water Division Battalion attacked and harassed the British from behind regardless of casualties. In the end, Songnan Water Division Battalion and Nanhui Water Division Battalion suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the Zhenjiang Battalion lost their divisions. However, they finally stopped the British on the river.
Subsequently, Changqing, the land and water admiral of the south of the Yangtze River, immediately led the army to Zhenjiang to wait for the battle. After the British failed to attack, they did not continue to attack. However, they patrolled the Zhenjiang section of the Yangtze River and blocked the main artery of the court: Caoyun.
"When these English barbarians came to pay tribute, I showed them with lenient benevolence. Unexpectedly, these people actually despised my Qing Dynasty because of this, and dared to go straight into the Yangtze River and lock the transportation..." Qianlong's roar echoed throughout the hall, mainly because the sound transmission effect of the heart-raising hall was very good, which made Qianlong The old voice can echo in the hall for a long time.
"Please ask the emperor to rest the anger of thunder and take care of the dragon body..." A Gui, the head assistant of the current dynasty, at this moment, saw that Qianlong's anger was getting more and more and more, so he had to force himself to persuade. For a while, the follower in the hall was like a cloud.
" Take care, how can I take care of my anger? Do I have to wait until those Yingyi thieves hit Yanjing City before I can get angry?! Look at one or two of you, they are all important ministers of the court and the pillars of the country. Now, Yingyi has actually cut off the transportation. Don't you have any way? Qianlong seemed to be dizzy and came up with such a sentence.
The ministers all made close contact with the gold bricks on the ground, and secretly slandered in their hearts. You were angry here at the beginning. When will you give us time to think about it?
--------------------
He was angry, and Qianlong, who was sweating in the cold weather, looked at these ministers lying on the ground, opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Get me up. If I had known that these heroes were so ambitious, I should not have let them go to Beijing to pay tributes at the beginning. Now, I actually let them cut off the luck and shock the world. This makes me face the late emperor and the holy ancestors like this. How can I face the ancestors who love Xinjueluo?
"Weichen (slave) failed the emperor's grace, death..." Under the lead of A Gui, everyone neatly expressed their panic and guilt to the self-pity of Emperor Qianlong, who stood in front of the dragon case.
"Your Majesty, I thought that I should transfer troops and horses to the south again, rejuvenate the king's division, and subdue the heroes with dignity." A minister came out of the crowd and said in general. This is Wu Shengqin, who has just been promoted to the governor of the imperial court.
"Demobilation? Where to transfer troops? Lord Wu, Yingyi came from the sea, took the boat as his home, and rode there from the north. Can they still go to Yingyi to fight on the water? He Lin couldn't help standing up and shouting. What she didn't like most was this kind of person who pretended to understand, even if this guy was his brother's confidant.
Wu Shengqin saw that he actually jumped out with Lin, rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to him. The important thing is that although He Shen and the He Lin brothers were corrupt and the other was honest, and although He Lin disliked his brother's actions, the relationship between the two brothers was very harmonious. Wu Shengqin didn't want to be against this man and the second master, so he simply didn't say anything.
"There are no sailors in the north and in the south. We can mobilize sailors from the south to level Yingyi."
"No, since the Guangdong Marine Division has been fighting in Qianlong for 55 years, and the losses have been heavy. It has not been restored to the old view until now. Some time ago, when he fought with Yingyi outside the mouth of the Pearl River, he suffered losses and morale. How can he fight such a defeat?"
"Then according to Lord Chen's words, Fujian sailors can't move? Nan'ao Town, a Fujian navy, was almost completely destroyed, and the rest of them shrank, and it was difficult to fight. Could it be that we could see those heroes and Yilinger on the Yangtze River, blocking the channel and cutting off my transportation?
"I cleared Fujian and Guangdong sailors, as well as Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake sailors can be adjusted..."
Above the court, the ministers began to quarrel into a pot of porridge again. Qianlong looked at the spitting of the ministers below and really felt a headache. Finally, he simply called the roll directly: "Agui, you talk about it."
"I thought that Fu Kang'an had rushed to the south of the Yangtze River to coordinate the water, land and horses of the five provinces. Now, Yingyi has cut off the transportation. If he wants to come to Fukang'an, he must know that he has the most say in this matter." A Gui had to stand up and answer. To be honest, A Gui has fought for decades, and he can be regarded as a person who has a say in the war.
But the problem is that he has been working in the land for decades. As for the water war, his lord may know in the official documents that there are several warships and how many sailors there are in the Qing Dynasty, but the question is that he hasn't played it? As the saying goes, A Gui was promoted by Fu Heng, and the relationship between A Gui and Fu Kang'an is also very good. He still knows something from Fu Kang'an. Water war and land war are completely different things. Therefore, Qianlong asked him to come out and talk, and he could only pull Fu Kang'an as a shield.
Hearing A Gui's answer, Qianlong fell into silence. Have you heard from Fu Kang'an?
"Your Majesty, Lord Fu has rushed to Poyang Lake a month ago. Now, I think that two lake sailors have been gathered and are rushing to Zhenjiang, but with the strength of the river divisions in the two lakes alone, I'm afraid..." A Gui opened his mouth again.
Although these two sailors have the name of sailors, in fact, the role of the two sailors is mainly to fight against theft. Moreover, the river is not the same as the sea. Most of the two sailors are small boats, and according to military reports, the smallest warships of the other side are more than twice as the big ships of the Qing Dynasty. Such warships are inside. Compared with those shrimp-class warships in the river, they are really a little frustrated. I'm afraid that the other party doesn't have to fight at all. It's possible to drive directly and sink all of you.
"There are no soldiers available in the court..." A Gui couldn't help sighing in his heart. At least there are only a few sailors in Daqing: Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and the two great lakes in the Yangtze River. Nowadays, the British are the first to let the Guangdong Marine Division lose their troops, and then let the Fujian Marine Divisions pee. As for the sailors in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, A Gui couldn't help curling his lips when he thought of these two places. The army in these two places was the second in the combat effectiveness of the provincial armies of the Qing Dynasty. Almost, it's better to let them jump into the sea and commit suicide as well as let them be the main force.
Qianlong also had a headache. There was no water adjuster. His original waterman was disappointing, which made the British call them one by one. Now it's better. He rushed directly into the Yangtze River. That kind of feeling was like a cold winter. Under the mouth of a snowstorm, a mouse actually got into his crotch and reached out to grab it. It's strange that he took off his trousers and bare buttocks in the storm dew. If he didn't take it off, he just pounded it inside. Don't mention the uncomfortable feeling.
What if it bites a dick with a crazy surname? Well, it's just a metaphor. Just like now, the British can threaten the transportation at any time, but there is no sailor in the Qing Dynasty who can compete with it. In fact, Qianlong was so depressed that he wanted to bite the jade seal off his mouth to relieve his hatred.
At this time, a rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Qianlong raised his eyelids and saw a bodyguard coming with a box with a special official document. He couldn't help but mention it. Isn't there any bad news?
--------------------
It turned out that when Fu Kang'an led the army to Jiangning Mansion, he had already known the news that the British had attacked Zhenjiang. He had stayed in Guangzhou for a long time. Naturally, he also knew the power of Western warships, and the warships in his hand were mostly small boat flat-bottomed boats, mostly for anti-theft. If he hit him head-on to deal with the British. The strong ship cannon is really equivalent to killing yourself.
Moreover, Jiangning Mansion is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Yamen of the water and land admiral in the south of the Yangtze River is located here. At this time, the water and land admiral of the south of the Yangtze River, Chang Qing has ordered the army to rush to Zhenjiang to help, so he temporarily sit here, but he didn't wait for two days and received the express Malay news. It seemed that the British had the intention to continue to go deep into the river. .
Now, Songnan Water Division Camp, the two battalions of Nanhui Water Division Camp are all disabled. Nanhui Water Division Camp retreats to the mouth of the Yangtze River, while Songnan Water Division Camp retreats to the South Canal to defend.
Fu Kang'an did not sit and wait to die. He mobilized a large number of fishing boats from Jiangning Prefecture, and then went down the river to Sanjiangkou and Wuyuzhou.
Sure enough, two days later, a British squadron appeared on the Yangtze River. Fu Kang'an couldn't bear it. When the British warships reached the narrowest point, the sailors went down the river to fight with the British ships, and arranged the sailors in the Wuyuzhou waterway to block the back of the British. This British subship The team was also unlucky. This squadron happened to be the warships that had been bombarded by Liang Pengfei's artillery at the beginning. It was precisely because they were so ashamed that they volunteered to come as the advance fleet to explore the way.
Fu Kang'an finally won the final victory by relying on the human sea tactics. The important thing is that the waterway here is narrow, and the British warships are difficult to get rid of the small boat. In addition, the back road is blocked, so it can only fight to the death. However, the result of this battle still makes the winning side a little shudder.
