I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, 13,000 people from the 21st Division of the Chinese Army boarded the boat and rushed toward Beijing along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Many towns on the canal still belonged to the Qing army, but they could not stop the Hua army's fleet. After all, the Qing army did not place coastal defense artillery anywhere.

The navy is far from being Hua Jun's opponent, so they can only watch Hua Jun rampage on their own territory.

At the same time, a cavalry force of 20,000 people also began to attack Beijing.

It is much more difficult for them to reach Beijing than the fleet. After all, the Qing army can still pose some threats to them.

Of course, the premise is that those people dare to come out and fight against the cavalry of the Huajun.

Fortunately, this road is all plain, and there is a lot of space for the Hua army to operate, so there is no need to worry about the harassment of the Qing army.

There are more than 20,000 people, but there are more than 40,000 horses, and another horse is used to carry supplies.

One person and two horses is not too much. The real elite cavalry units are one person and three horses, two for transfer, and one for weight.

The horses of the Huajun are relatively scarce and cannot be so extravagant.

One person and two horses can already guarantee their marching speed.

If there is no interference, we can reach Beijing in three or four days.

However, this is unlikely. After all, the north is still the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it is extremely unlikely to be completely undisturbed.

The last to hit the road is the main infantry, their main task is to take over the Qing army's territory along the way.

The Huajun's fleet was discovered by the Qing army's spies as soon as they left Jining, but their speed on land to the north to report the news was not even as fast as the forward speed of the Huajun's fleet.

Not every place has the conditions to use the 800-mile expedited secret report. It was not until Liaocheng that the Qing army stationed in Liaocheng was enough to say goodbye.

This speed is naturally faster than the Huajun's fleet, and the fleet can't keep going in a straight line. The spies of the Qing army reported the news, and the route was much more straight.

But Hua Jun didn't care, they didn't expect to be able to hide the news of going north.

All they have to do is get there as soon as possible.

If the Qing army wanted to retreat, it was a big project, and they could set off immediately without worrying about getting the news.

"What is Hua Jun trying to do, hasn't the front been lost?"

The defender of Liaocheng muttered, he didn't understand Hua Jun's operation at all.

When Dorgon and others in Beijing saw the first expedited battle report, they were also at a loss.

Immediately afterwards, the second expedited battle report was delivered to them.

The content of the battle report showed that the Huajun's fleet had arrived in Texas.

Immediately afterwards, the third letter showed that Hua Jun had arrived in Cangzhou.

Until this moment, Dorgon and others suddenly realized.

It turned out that the enemy's target was Beijing.

After discovering Hua Jun's intentions, Dorgon and other generals all gasped.

I have to say, this plan is too bold and too crazy.

"It's unreasonable, it's just defiant."

Shusai said angrily.

This kind of military action by Hua Jun is really arrogant, as if to say, I didn't take your army of tens of thousands in my eyes at all, and took the initiative to send it to your mouth, there is something to eat.

Anger turned into anger, but Shuo Sai didn't take the initiative to ask Ying to resist.

Because he knew that even if he brought all the troops there, he might not be able to get the other party.

Their advanced equipment was almost defeated by Hauge.

Most of the remaining troops are still using cold weapons.

"It seems that the enemy does not want us to retreat outside the customs, and wants to send an elite team beside us to stare at us."

Zier Harang sighed, if Hua Jun really planned this, they would be in big trouble.

Hundreds of thousands of people want to retreat outside the customs, even if there is no harassment, it is a very troublesome thing.

There are always elite soldiers around, so don't count on it.

As long as the opponent charges, the entire marching team will be completely thrown into chaos.

It is too difficult for those noble men and women who have never been on the battlefield to remain calm.

The Qing army wanted to rely on tens of thousands of soldiers to protect this marching team, and it could not be protected.

For them, the best way is to eliminate the Chinese army.

Otherwise, they can only abandon those old and weak women and children, even civilians, and leave with only the army and a small number of nobles.

However, this will greatly damage the vitality of the Qing Dynasty, and it will also completely lose people's hearts.

"Although there are only more than 10,000 enemies, the troops who dare to take on this kind of task must be the elite of the Chinese army, and we must pay attention.

On the one hand, it is necessary to send troops to intercept, on the other hand, it is necessary to speed up the pace of retreat. Throw away some things that are not of high value, and just pick up some soft ones. "

Fan Wencheng reminded everyone that they must not relax their vigilance because of the small number of Hua Jun.

Of course, his reminder is a bit redundant. Now that the Qing army is suffering from Sinophobia, it is only possible to overestimate the possibility of the Chinese army.

There is absolutely no chance of underestimating.

"Immediately order the towns along the canal to intercept this fleet and dig ships to block the canal. Shuosai, you lead a banner of troops and horses to the Langfang area to defend the last line of defense.

Others, assisting the retreat of the large army, ordering each

Households throw away unnecessary bulky items and bring only valuables and food. "

Dorgon's order basically adopted Fan Wencheng's opinion.

The trick of chiseling a boat to block a canal is very damaging, but it does work.

As long as the Chinese army is forced ashore, they can carry out containment and harassment.

After confirming the plan, Fan Wencheng added another sentence: "Prince Regent, it should be given priority to let His Majesty withdraw first. The further back, the more likely the retreating team will panic and have accidents."

"Don't worry, the emperors of our Qing Dynasty are all emperors on horseback. If you don't, you can't handle this. Your Majesty stays in the capital and can give some encouragement to the soldiers on the front line."

Dorgon said.

This.......

Fan Wencheng was stunned. Although Dorgon's words made some sense, it was wrong when he thought about it carefully.

The emperor's life is more important than boosting morale.

Fan Wencheng is also a good person. From Dorgon's attitude, he can feel some of Dorgon's intentions, and then he is afraid of sweating on his back.

This is to the death of the emperor. It is a rebellious act, but he has no way to do it.

Knowing Dorgon's intentions, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything and protect himself.

However, when he discovered Dorgon's intention, Fan Wencheng was completely disheartened towards Da Qing.

At the time of life and death, the Qing Dynasty was still thinking about fighting for power and profit. There is no hope for such a regime. It is exactly the same as the Hongguang regime in the previous Ming Dynasty.

Without seeing hope or seeing the future, Fan Wencheng was at a loss.
