Chapter 522 Bombarding Dagukou!

Thinking of the death of several famous generals in the Qing Dynasty in just two years, and the white lotus religion that swept half of the Qing Dynasty was not determined, Liang Pengfei led the crowd to rebel, accounting for several provinces. What makes Prince Jia Yong Yan most angry is that if you want to rebel, you have to rebel. Why do you want to run to Manchurian? You are too much, aren't you?

You know, Manchuria is the land of Longxing for us Manchu people. You not only made trouble, but also killed so many Eight Banners soldiers. In addition to this, you actually fought against Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan to play with people. Isn't you trying to force people to collapse?

Although Prince Jia Yongyan did not have a quick wit when something happened, he was at least educated. From the words of Qianlong just now, he had noticed that his 60-year-old emperor Ama, who had been unable to stand after many ups and downs, was actually shaken.

"Is it true that the Qing Dynasty has really reached the point of wind and rain? The country of more than 150 years will become ancient?" The entanglement of panic and anger, as well as the concern for Qianlong's body, made Prince Naga's heart sink more and more.

Originally, Yong Yan wanted the Qianlong to abdication as soon as possible, so that he could rule the empire according to his own ideas, and also wanted to take down the Heshen and rule the officials of the world.

But now, he suddenly found that if he had been under these pressures alone, he would have collapsed long ago. At this moment, he only hoped that his emperor Ama could live for a few more years, at least so that he would not have to bear the heavy pressure of the danger of subjugation.

Originally, among the famous generals of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Jia Yongyan admired the most naturally the A Gui Azhongtang. Unfortunately, now, A Gui had a stroke and died of a long time ago, and his most unpleasant greed and corruption, Fu Kang'an, who was no less than He Shen, also died in the process of suppressing the White Lotus Sect, and Hailancha also died, and now The last remaining general and Lin in the Qing Dynasty also fell on the journey of suppressing the White Lotus Sect. So far, several famous generals in the Qing Dynasty have farted.

The rest are just three or two kittens. The Bailian rebellion, which was originally expected to be pacified within two to three years, because the rise of Liang Pengfei seems to be getting farther and farther away from this goal.

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

Thinking of Liang Pengfei, he had to think of his teacher again, Zhu Gu, the governor of Liangguang. Now he hates He Shen even more. If it hadn't been for He Shen's bad work, how could Zhu Ji have gone to the fishy place of Liangguang to serve as governor? If it hadn't been for this reason, how could he have rushed with Liang Pengfei? Suddenly, leading to the current situation?

And at the beginning, it was not recommended by He Shen. If it hadn't been for He Shen's younger brother and Lin, he also valued this person. How can Qiu Ba, a pirate in Liang Pengfei District, be able to make a rise to life in Guangdong and Guangxi? He didn't pay attention to the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi at all.

"Heshen!" Prince Jia Yongyan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and chatted about the name that made his stomach hurt so much. Anyway, anyway, His Royal Highness has directly put the blame of Liang Pengfei's rebellion on He Shen.

Tianjin, Dagukou Fort, which was originally the throat of Beijing and the barrier of Jinmen. Since ancient times, it has been an important town of coastal defense, known as "Humen in the south and Dagu in the north".

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the Japanese invaders and strengthen the defense of the sea in Dagukou, they began to build a fortress and officially garrisoned. At the beginning of the British attack on the Yangtze River, the Qing court paid more attention to the Jinmen barrier, and began to build a fort here. A large round fort was built on the north and south sides of Dagukou. The fort was made of wood inside, green outside, and grouted with white ash. It is about one foot and five feet high, two feet and five feet wide, and six feet deep. There are three general cannons on top of the fort. There are also several small forts, with ten small cannons on each other sides.

The garrison is a total of six battalions of soldiers and horses in the front left and middle left, back left, front right, middle right and back right of the Dagu Association in Tianjin Town, stationed in Dagukou, Tanggu, Beitang and Gegu.

However, the two battalions guarding the forts are stationed on both sides of the forts. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, this Dagu has not only been a pirate, but also a pirate Mao has been seen. It has been safe for more than a hundred years. If the Englishman hadn't played a role in the Yangtze River, he would have stayed in a battalion of soldiers and horses at most. Now there are two battalions and built forts. What's more, no one dares to come, even the fisherman, No one dares to sway in front of the two forts.

This makes the green battalions of the two battalions guarding the Dagu fort very leisurely, but there are only dozens of defenders on the forts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The remaining green battalion soldiers either gamble in the camp or simply stay in the barracks and brag.

And Fu Zhulong'a, the deputy general of the Dagu Association, is now in a house next to the camp, snuggled in red and green, leading a ticket of his subordinates. In the courtyard, he listened to the actors on the stage singing, drinking flower wine below, and flirting with the little beauties found in the Tianjin brothel.

"Your Excellency, my lord, my lord..." On the stage, a play happened to arrive at **, and the shouting under the stage was endless, but there was a panic shout outside the door of the house.

"Call your mother's name, what about the soul?! I can't even see the silence of the play. Fu Zhulong couldn't help but be furious and scolded. The leader of Fu Zhulong's soldiers immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the gate, ready to beat the ignorant guy outside the door and vent his anger on his general.

Just as the peach-red-faced little peach-faced beside the rich Zhulong, with a charming smile, the little hand stroked the rich Zhulong's chest, and comforting the tired general not to lose the fun of watching the play for trivial matters. The leader of Fu Zhulong's own soldiers rushed back with a depressed face.

"Did you see the ghost or something?" As soon as he saw that this guy's face became so ugly, Fu Zhulong couldn't help but be shocked, and his scolding was much lower. At this moment, those generals and guards who were also watching the play in the courtyard also turned their faces.

"General, outside, boats, a lot of boats." The head of the soldier's mouth was not very sharp. He raised his finger and pointed out of the door. At the door, a pale guard was pointing to the seaside.

Bum buzzing... buzzing... At this moment, a grand bell rang, and the tune hummed by the actors on the stage was cut off.

Hearing the bell, Fu Zhulong's face finally changed. It was an alarm bell. It only sounded when the enemy was found in the Dagu Fort. Fu Zhulong had been here for two years, but it had never been ringed. Today, this buzzing sound shook Fu Zhulong's heart a little. Meng.

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

The Dagu Association camp is about a mile away from the coast of the Haihe River. This area is extremely flat. In addition to the forts on both sides, standing in the camp and looking around, you can directly see the blue sea line.

And now, what is reflected in the rich black pupils is no longer a simple blue coastline. Because above the coastline, there are pieces of white sails. No, it should be said that there are thousands of white sails. Under the white sails, there are huge warships. Since the distance is so far away, Fu Zhulonga still feels that those warships are even taller than those ten feet taller than those forts.

What scares him is that the top of the towering warship mast, which is like a flying peak, is a flag fluttering in the wind. In the middle of the bloody four-corner flag, there is a big Chinese character: Liang.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack... enemy attack!" From the indecisive tone at the beginning to the affirmative sentence to the last scream, the voice was so sharp that it even surpassed the flowery voice of the actor on the stage.

At this time, the patrol soldiers who were stunned for a long time ran on the fort in a panic and shouted to the gun position. When they rushed to the gun position on the fort, they remembered that the ammunition of the artillery was still locked in the turret behind the turret. They rushed down and opened the turret, took out the gunpowder and shells, then rushed to the turret, and then began to clean up the turret and prepare to load and ignite.

"That's all the way?! Tut-t-tt. It seems that there should be three heavy guns of about 8,000 catties and ten cannons of about 3,000 catties. At this time, Liang Pengfei, who was standing on the flagship bridge, observed the every move of the hurried Qing soldiers on the fort through the telescope, while estimating the number of guns on the fort.

"Order the warships of the First Squadron to form a shelling formation and prepare for battle." Standing not far behind Liang Pengfei, the fleet commander Shi Dakai shouted the order. The commander of Liang Pengfei's guard fleet was originally Shi Xianggu, but now Shi Xianggu is going to give birth because she is pregnant with Liujia, so Shi Dakai went on an expedition for her sister and became the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Fleet this time.

Soon, six three-mast warships broke away from the formation and began to arrange horizontally. The gun windows on the side of the warship opened one after another, and a gun stretched out of the side gun window.

"Target, the large fort on the left bank, a distance of 1,300 meters..." On one of the warships, Zhang Baozai, whose shoulder was the rank was the second lieutenant's mark, carefully observing the fort in front of him and reported various parameters loudly. According to these parameters, the artillery on the artillery deck quickly adjusted the artillery. Shooting posture.

In a very short time, all the guns were loaded and aimed, and everything was ordered by the commander of the squadron.

At this time, the Qing soldiers on the Dagu Fort were still busy. In the shouts and scolding of the sentries, they were hurriedly loaded with shells. Even the gunners of two guns stuffed the projectile into the muzzle before they remembered that they had not loaded gunpowder.

I can see that the squadron commander who got the command to attack can shake his head vigorously. Inform the ships that the three-wheeled artillery is ready. I don't want any shells from the other side to fly out of the muzzle, understand?!"

"Yes, Commander!" The naval soldiers on the bridge replied in unison. The next moment, the delicate fire roses finally burst out in the sound of orders...
