1825 My New Daming

Chapter 91 Confused by Winning, Confused by Losing, Confused! (If you want to follow up, you are almost out of breath!)

The Amu Darya camp, where Emperor Daoguang walked.

Dajin Daoguang Emperor is walking around in his study, just walking around and around.On the desk is a map of Afghanistan (including Peshawar), an open copy of "Kongming's Divine Fortune Telling", a few copper coins for divination, a pair of star maps, and a few steamed mutton buns, a few pieces of cheese and A bowl of mutton soup with frozen oil slicks on the surface.

Emperor Daoguang has been restless since yesterday morning when he witnessed the twelve airships flying southward, until now.During this period, he even made a fortune for himself, used copper coins for divination, and even went out to watch the sky at night, trying to understand some mysteries.It's a pity that it's all useless because his "algorithm" is not good.Can only anxiously wait for the results of the Peshawar airborne operation
In fact, the Ming army personnel who stayed at the airship field already knew the result of the Battle of Peshawar—they had a radio station to contact the airship, and they could even transmit the news back to Beijing through the radio station.So now the important officials of the Ming court in Beijing already know the result of the Battle of Peshawar!

But Emperor Daoguang was kept in the dark. Although he had already received a secret report and knew that there was such a black technology as radio stations, he couldn't ask Daming about such secrets!And even if they inquired about it, they would definitely not say anything about it.

So he can only worry in the study alone.

When he was in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then he heard the voice of the most trusted eunuch Bai of Emperor Daoguang: "Your Majesty, please meet He Shen, Mu Zhang, and Sai Shang!"

coming!

Emperor Daoguang's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and his fat face, which had already lost a lot of weight, was full of nervousness that could not be concealed.

The rise and fall of Dajin is in this battle!

Emperor Daoguang took a few deep breaths before saying loudly, "Xuan!"

Then Daoguang heard the white eunuch who was guarding outside say: "Three middle halls, please come in."

Then the door of the study room was pushed open, and the three ministers of Tianji who accompanied the army, He Shen, Mu Zhang'a, and Sai Shang'a, followed the eunuch Bai and filed in.Daoguang glanced at the faces of the three ministers of Tianji, and his mood immediately improved.

Because the three of them all had surprises on their faces, not surprise and joy, but joy to the point of astonishment, it seemed that there was great joy, no, it should be great joy!
"Your Majesty! We have won!"

"Your Majesty! Great victory!"

"Your Majesty, God bless Dajin!"

Sure enough, the three ministers of Tianji began to announce the good news to Emperor Daoguang as soon as they knelt down.The sound of the good news is trembling!It's all "Tik Tok", what a joy.

"Quick, tell me, how is Wu's fax?"

Daoguang didn't let them say any auspicious words. What auspicious words can compare to the victory on the front line?
"Your Majesty," said He Shen, wiping away his old tears, "the airship that sent King Pingxi to Peshawar has returned, and the Peshawar Castle was shot down by King Pingxi!"

Mu Zhang'a added: "Your Majesty, King Pingxi also captured a British major general named Elsphinton, and brought him back in the airship. It is said that this major general is also the British commander in Peshawar!"

"Bless the ancestors." Daoguang wept with joy!
The enemy's commanders have all been captured, this victory must be a sure thing!
But the good things are not over yet!

"Your Majesty, there are more!" Saishangah also cried, "Your Majesty, King Pingxi was too fierce this time, and the divine soldiers fell from the sky, and the Indian soldiers who killed Peshawar were blinded. Their British commanders and white officers surrendered. So now in addition to our more than 200 warriors in Peshawar, there are hundreds of surrendered soldiers. In addition, Peshawar Castle is also the old logistics camp of the British and Indian Army, and the underground warehouse is full of Guns, ammunition, and four six-inch howitzers!"

The British army in Peshawar was really defeated!
Not only did the headquarters have a spoonful of stew, but their four six-inch howitzers had no chance to be used, and they became spoils of war in the warehouse!

Emperor Daoguang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up, go and bring that Elsphinton, I'm going to ask in person, that's right, is Zhuge Daozi back?"

"I'm back, I'm probably resting," He Shen said, "He and his airship soldiers are exhausted."

"Okay, when he has enough rest, invite him to come to me for a celebration banquet!" Daoguang said with a smile, "I want to drink three hundred cups with him!"

"Whoo!"

Calcutta, East India Company Governor's Palace.

In Sir Amherst's private drawing room, the oppressive atmosphere was about to freeze—how stressful it was!

Everyone, including Sir Amherst, was dumbfounded, and everyone held a copy of the telegram and watched it over and over again.

Of course, this copy of the telegram was not sent by the headquarters of Major General Elsfinton, because the telegraph and telephone lines of his headquarters were cut. Therefore, when Peshawar was attacked by the airborne troops of the Daikin Navy, Elsphinton had no way of contacting the few battalions stationed on the outskirts.However, those British and Indian infantry battalions still found something wrong!
There were airships in the sky, explosions on the ground, and many frightened Peshawar residents ran out. Of course, the troops guarding the outskirts of Peshawar knew something was wrong.

So they leapfrogged to report to Kabul and Calcutta while organizing troops to counterattack Peshawar.

Upon hearing the news, Sir Amherst immediately invited Nelson, Commander of the Indian Grand Fleet, Hugh Goff, Acting Commander of the East India Army, and Elliot, the "Imperial Minister" from London, to discuss countermeasures.

And when these few people saw the urgent telegram sent by the wired telegraph from the defenders of Mardan City east of Peshawar, they were all so surprised that they couldn't speak.

Because this thing is too exaggerated!
The airship dropped ground troops to launch a surprise attack on the British headquarters in Peshawar-this is an air assault!
Can Dajin Kingdom do such a thing?There is no airship in the Dajin Kingdom, and everyone knows that Daming is the best airship player in the world now—they invented hot air balloons and airships!The Zhuge family in Ming Dynasty seems to be particularly obsessed with the matter of "Flying Apsaras". They are willing to spend money, and they have money to spend, and they know technology themselves.

Thanks to their efforts, Deming's airships are more than those of other countries in the world combined, and they are also built to be particularly large, fly faster, and have greater reliability.If there is anyone in this world who can use airships to carry out air assault missions, it is only Daming.

This was clearly Da Ming's move. Not only was Da Ming the mastermind behind Da Jin, but he also directly provided the airship troops!

Sir Amherst finally broke the silence at this time, only to hear him cough: "Everyone, what are your opinions and suggestions?"

"Governor," Major General Hugh Gough, the acting commander of the East India Company Army, was the first to speak, "We must recover Peshawar as soon as possible, otherwise the army deep into Afghanistan will face logistical problems. Besides, there are also Sikhs and Afghans. It may fall to Daikin."

George Elliot frowned and said with a livid face: "These airships must belong to Da Ming. Not only did Da Ming support Da Jin behind the scenes, but he also directly participated in the attack on Peshawar, which is an invasion of the British Empire! Great Britain The empire must retaliate! I suggest that the Strait of Malacca be blocked immediately, and all trade between India, Ming and Ming vassal states be interrupted!"

Amister looked at Earl Nelson, "Count, what do you think?"

Earl Nelson just shook his head: "What if the Ming Navy's airship hangs bombs to blow up the squadron anchored in Singapore, and then sends down infantry to attack the Singapore fortress?"

As soon as he said this, the air in the living room froze again, and everyone frowned, unable to say anything.Because they all know that none of the warships and fortresses of the British Empire can deal with enemies from the air!
And the Ming Empire happened to have the ability to attack the British Royal Navy from the air!
When the people in the room were anxious, someone knocked on the door of the living room, and then a secretary of Baron Amherst rushed in, holding a telegram in his hand, and reported in a trembling voice: : "Your Excellency, Mardan's telegram. The troops counterattacking Peshawar were defeated! They encountered heavy artillery bombardment and cavalry attacks from the enemy, and suffered heavy losses!"
