Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 791 Protracted War

The first day was peaceful.

This is because the treaty between the two countries stipulates that before launching a large-scale attack, a message must be sent to the local civilians so that they can prepare to surrender or evacuate in advance or follow arrangements.

Before the treaty expired, the armies of the two countries had already gathered on the front line, and it was impossible to mobilize troops in small groups.

The next day, the mighty army began to squirm on the land of China.

Without exception, the three armies of the Qing Dynasty pressed forward suddenly. The Ming army stayed on the defensive and relied on the defense line to fight the Qing army. The people behind them screamed fiercely, but the Ming army generals standing on the front line were still rational.

The differences between this war and any other war a few years ago were immediately apparent.

The bottom line has to be high.

Even the barbarians of Lao Heiqi, the soldiers in the Ming army, and those who want to make some war fortune from the opposite side of the two armies must pay attention to the military regulations and disciplines that have been rectified for three years, as well as the military regulations all over the ground. Reporters running around.

Freedom of the press.

Zhu Youjian specially arranged it in both the north and the south.

Before there were artillery and firearms, people's killing efficiency was already high enough. Nowadays, more and more messy thermal weapons are deployed between the Qing and Ming armies. If they really want to kill and rob civilians, the efficiency is too high.

Military law, discipline and conventions alone are not enough, so let Chinese public opinion add another layer of restraint.

Regardless of whether it is a small-scale massacre or a direct massacre of the city, if it is discovered, it must be reported in the newspaper and let the world know about it to ensure that the current Qing Dynasty cannot be like the Manchu Qing in this southern expedition.

At the same time, it also allows the whole world to take a good look at this civil war that they have also been looking forward to for a long time.

And there was no big explosive news at the beginning of this war.

After three years of planning, the two sides had already thoroughly understood each other. Trench defenses were dug everywhere. At the beginning, they could only rely on guns and artillery to fight a dull battle.

But this is enough to give everyone watching this war a little shock to China.

Large and small artillery fired against each other with muskets, and there was very little hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, and the firepower was particularly terrifying compared with the rest of the world at the same time.

And because flintlock muskets were installed in large numbers, rifling, custom-loaded gunpowder, mini bullets and other technologies were introduced. Once the accuracy was guaranteed, they almost skipped the queuing and shooting process, and only relied on trench line shooting.

This kind of high-intensity bombardment and shooting is very frustrating and uncomfortable for both combatants. The equipment has been provided and the tactics have been improved, but neither army has got rid of the cold weapon combat style.

But for onlookers, especially the countries and forces other than the two parties in the civil war, it is a dimensionality reduction blow visible to the naked eye!Let them panic!
Jinan.

As a transit point for the North-South Railway, this city that had been devastated by wars and natural disasters has recovered very well. Now, it is also the frontline city in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the first gateway to resist the southward movement of the Zhenghei Banner.

There was continuous artillery fire in the north of the city, and residents in the city also listened to rumors and read how the frontline war was described in the daily newspapers.

"Isn't it too stable?"

"What's wrong, you want to go to the front line?"

Beside the tea stall, many workers were holding sweet foam and swirling it with oil. Those who were well-off just had two greasy meat buns, eating them together while listening to Mr. Shu's report.

The huge Nanjing did not cause riots just because the battlefield was right in front of them.

Because as early as the day after the treaty expired, Zhengheiqi from the north sent a letter of persuasion to surrender, saying that even if the army did not surrender when it arrived at Jinan City, as long as there was no fighting in the city and did not interfere with the army's march south, the army would not attack. The city disturbed the residents of the city.

Zhengheiqi just wants to occupy Jinan's railway lines and support the army to capture Nanjing as quickly as possible.

For three consecutive years, the propaganda has separated the war from civilians. Now the residents of Jinan City have to believe it even if they don’t believe it.

"Our place is not easy to defend. Gaoji has been lost. There is a river at Zhao Guan's place. I think it depends on where we can defend it."

"I feel that the Marquis of Jingnan is more reliable. There was a commotion in the army about the change of generals a year ago."

Huang Degong naturally had to be replaced.

After Emperor Longwu learned the identity of the Qing emperor in the north, Huang Degong, a general who had served as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp in the Chongzhen Dynasty, naturally could not be used. The title of Jingnanbo was still granted by Chongzhen.Even Huang Fei, who had a good personal relationship with Huang Degong and was regarded as a brother, was also transferred away from the front line.

Of course, it doesn't matter who comes to fight after staying away for a short period of time.

For Huang Degong, a general who likes to charge personally, the frontline risk may be higher.

Zhu Youjian was also very satisfied with this. If Huang Degong were to face the Black Flag Army, he would most likely not survive after defeat.

However, the earnest words of advice in the letter at hand are still shocking.

It was sent by Huang Degong.

He couldn't hide the matter anymore, so he naturally knew that the Qing Emperor in the north was Emperor Chongzhen who promoted him step by step from a soldier to a count.

Faced with the deadlock between the south and the north, he said that the throne was passed down by His Majesty Chongzhen himself, so he could only ask His Majesty Chongzhen to be the Supreme Emperor, so that the world could regain the great tomorrow.

Zhu Youjian cannot be said to be naive.

I can only laugh it off.

"The work of rehabilitating society is not done well, and everyone still can't let go of their airs. Even if someone is supporting the teaching, and the ordinary people rush to learn, it will not be popular."

Putting down the letter, Zhu Youjian did not read any of the war reports with the Ming Dynasty except for the general battle reports and the supervision of military discipline by various supervisors.

Those familiar with the matter believed that this was after all a quarrel between the old Zhu family members, and Emperor Chongzhen also changed his country's title to show his identity as a Tatar, which was ultimately justified to avoid suspicion.

The reality is that he now has another war to fight.

Wang Zhien was by his side, holding a few new brochures in his hands. It seemed that many of the names on them were written by big shots in the Qing Dynasty.

At first glance, the title is a summary of impeachment, and the words used in it are quite strong.

"His Majesty?"

Zhu Youjian didn't even look at him: "I'll just fight the issue about restoring society. I'll leave the issue about the New Deal unaddressed. I'll give you two less harsh ones."

"Whoo."

Under the wave of war, undercurrents were surging in the Qing Dynasty. Some people and organizations did many treasonous things and said some treasonous words.

The gentlemen in the court were very shrewd.

If it affects the stability of the local area, shakes the foundation of the country, or confuses the public, it must be severely suppressed.

Even if the emperor acquiesces, it threatens the status of the gentlemen, so he cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

Can books be taught indiscriminately?If what you teach is wrong, you should be damned!

Anyone who threatens to free slaves deserves to die.

It's okay to talk about Qing Mimi's association in private. If you don't cause trouble, no one will have time to care about you. But you have to publish it in newspapers, teach others, and put it in government school textbooks.

Do you want to form gangs in the court and even in the military?

More and more life-threatening information was sent to Zhu Youjian.

It shows that young people are doing a good job.

But it is inevitable to be too eager for quick success.

"You cannot suppress the current arrogance of the Qing Emperor, let alone overthrow him."

Smiling lightly, he asked Wang Zhien to take down the few coupons he had chosen. Zhu Youjian stood up from the desk and prepared to meet the North Korean King Li Hao and his children.
