Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 60 There has been only one Qing Dynasty since ancient times

The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

It is advisable to move, enter the house, put on beams, and travel; avoid marriage and breaking melons.

From Chongzhou to Meinuo Village, you have to go through four stations and eighteen cards. Among them, Guanyinqiao Station is only more than [-] miles away from the next Junyitun Ancient Village, but it takes at least two days to get there.

There is no other reason, such as winding trails and crossing mountains and ridges.

After Jia Liu and his party set off from Chongzhou, they found that the road was full of grain transporters from all over the country, some from Sichuan, some from nearby Huguang, Guizhou, and even Shaanxi.

These peasants from the surrounding provinces of Sichuan, including local Sichuan, used chicken carts, wheelbarrows, ox carts, horse-drawn carts and other means of transportation to transport the food and supplies needed by the Jinchuan frontline army one by one like ants.

The scene was quite shocking.

It is really more than three.

A lot of manpower was mobilized, a lot of food was requisitioned, and a lot of materials were allocated.

Busy traffic and crowds are not enough to describe the scene Jia Liu saw.

It's no wonder that most of Qianlong's "Shiquan martial arts" won. This competition is not only about national strength, but also unprecedented mobilization ability!
If Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty had the mobilization ability of the Qing Dynasty, not to mention Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Nurhachi, and Mrs. Hong, even if they sent Jia Liu there, they would probably end up being torn apart by the prison car.

At the same time, I was also shocked by the tenacity of the big and small Jinchuan against the Qing Dynasty and the tragic war.

With one or two counties fighting against the centralization of power in the feudal era, the Qing Dynasty reached its peak. What kind of people can persist.

On the way, there were also a large number of Qing troops going to Menuo Guanzhai. According to the news from Jia Liutao, Wen Fu's use of troops this time was in two general directions.

One is the main force of the North Route Army led by Wen Fu himself.

The second is the main force of the South Route Army led by Agui.

There are nearly [-] elite soldiers in the two main forces of the Qing army, and there are also Fukang'an, Hailancha, Dong Tianbi, Feng Sheng'e, Ha Guoxing and other routes.

The total strength of the army may be more than [-] to [-] as Alanbao said.

If these civilian husbands responsible for transporting rice and grain are counted together with the rest of the forces, the Qing government used at least 300,000 manpower in Jinchuan this time.

However, the larger the scale, the more timid Jia Liu became.

Although he didn't know when the Jinchuan war would end, it was definitely not this year.

Therefore, dog to dog, save his strength, so that he can repay Daqing more effectively.

Otherwise, how can you realize your great dream and restore Jia Hanfu's reputation as an old thief by the way.

With the way of He Zhongtang, Jia Liu would never put himself in danger, be impulsive, and think that he is invulnerable to guns and guns.

It took three days to reach the Guanyin Bridge Station. Before entering the station, Jia Liu saw a suspension bridge in front of him.

On the opposite side of the suspension bridge stands a tall stone fortress, probably the legendary Jinchuan Stone Fortress.

After handing over to officials from the Guanyin Bridge station and setting up his own team, Jia Liu asked the station to send someone to accompany him to the stone bunker on the pretext of coming to the front line for the first time.

During the Yongzheng period, it was stipulated that bannermen were not allowed to be post officials, so the postman of the Guanyinqiao post was a Han named Sun Tong, and he was also an eighth-rank official. How dare he neglect Master Jia of the Eight Banners Army.

Moreover, banner officials are more noble than Han officials.

The leader of the ninth rank, Lan Ling, doesn't even need to pay attention to the general manager of the seventh rank.

It's really on the same level, if an official from the green battalion is regarded as an official, do you want to lose the face of the bannerman?Do you want to lose face of the imperial court?
Therefore, if Jia Liuruo was polite to an eighth-rank postman, it would simply shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

Sun Tong immediately sent a postman to lead Jia Liu and his party to the stone tower.

On the way, according to the postman, when the Qing army did not capture this place last year, there were more than [-] Fan soldiers stationed in this stone fort. As a result, these [-] or so people just blocked the attack of more than [-] Qing troops for more than a month without any casualties. , In the end, they were forced to withdraw because they ran out of food and grass.

The Qing army lost more than [-] people.

Jia Liu was shocked when he heard this. If the casualty ratio is true, Jinchuan is simply a meat grinder for the Qing army.

Arriving at the bottom of the fort, Jia Liu looked up and saw that the fort was about [-] to [-] meters high. It was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. It was divided into five floors, and each floor had shooting holes. Combined with the special location of Guanyin Bridge, it is a typical one that is easy to defend and difficult to defend. attack.

The postman said that this is still the outer area, and the more you go in, the more stone fortresses there will be.

In some dangerous places, there are more than a dozen or even dozens of them.Watchtowers and watchtowers cooperate with each other to form a group of watchtowers. Fan Jun hid inside and shot down the Qing soldiers with shotguns.

If the Qing soldiers wanted to take it, they could only take their lives, because the fire and bombardment hadn't worked before.

How to stack?
Jia Liu circled around the bottom of the stone fort, vaguely understanding the value of the Jianrui battalion of ladder soldiers built by Qianlong.

The battle scene simulated in my mind is that countless Qing soldiers, under the persecution of their superiors, wear double armor and hold shields, and carry a ladder more than ten meters long to brave the guns of the soldiers in the middle of the fort. Top, and then from top to bottom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to break the fort.

In addition, it is to build giant cannons.

But looking at the terrain, even if the Qing army was able to build huge cannons and use them in warfare, it would take a long time.

Qianlong was eager to extinguish the flames of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty in Jinchuan. He repeatedly killed defeated generals and spared no effort to send troops to Jinchuan.

After leading people into the fort, they saw black blood stains everywhere on the walls and stairs inside the fort.There are also pits hit by shells in many places, but they can't shake this solid stone castle by half.

Seeing that a stone was a little loose, Jia Liu pushed it hard, but it didn't move.

Let Yang Yuchun push it, and it will fall, but it will not affect the surrounding stones.

Look closely, there seems to be glutinous rice juice in the glue between the stones.

"There used to be stone towers in this place. It's been thousands of years, but not many. After the Fanbing rebellion, those fake Han people helped them build these stone towers, and taught them how to shoot guns in the stone towers and how to use beacon towers."

This is the second time Jia Liu has heard the term "fake Han people", and he instinctively thought of the scene at the execution ground in Chongzhou City that day.

Wrong, wrong.
This year is the 26th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty.
descendants of the Han family
"Hey, there is still an offering table here. I don't know which gods Fan Thieves made offerings to, so they must also offer offerings to Second Lord Guan."

On the third floor, Yang Zhi found an altar that was falling apart on the ground, and there were traces of incense and candles on the wall.

Jia Liu came up from the stairs.

"I've heard people say that there was indeed a statue here, but it wasn't Guan Erye, but what Emperor Zhu didn't do, it was made by a bunch of fake Han people. They said they were anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, hey, we Han people have only had one since ancient times. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, where did the Emperor Zhu come from, and where did the nonsense Ming Dynasty come from, it is really a lie to confuse the public."

The postman's mouth is broken.

"Have you ever read a book?"

"Going back to what adults said, the young family is poor, so how can I afford to support the young ones to study?"

"No wonder."

Jia Liu smiled and climbed straight up the stairs to the top of the fort.

Surrounded by mountains in the distance, the road between the peaks bends like a long snake, and there are faintly visible stone towers in the mist.
