Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Hearing this, Fan Boyong nodded with a very confident expression.

"That's natural!"

"While the Manchu Qing Empire is now fully coping with the Restoration War from the former Ming Dynasty in the south, it is also experiencing a large-scale civil war internally due to the sudden death of the emperor, which has prevented a smooth transition of power."

"After the death of Emperor Qianlong, fierce conflicts broke out among his sons competing for the throne."

"Don't worry, General. The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now involved in the south, and they will definitely not be able to look north."

"This is the perfect time for our Rakshasa Kingdom to annex the Mobei Grassland!"

Fan Boyong can only say that he is worthy of being a descendant of Fan Yongdou, and his skill points in selling one's country and seeking glory have been filled up since he was born.

He had just surrendered, and he had already begun to think about himself as a member of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Seeing this, Petroyev helped Fan Boyon up from the ground, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and said.

"Dear Fan, I swear in the name of God, you will not regret your choice today. Joining the Rakshasa Empire will be the most profitable investment you have ever made in your life."

How should I put it, the Fan family is a prominent figure among Shanxi businessmen, with a fortune of tens of millions.

Even if the wealth cannot compare with Guangzhou Thirteen Banks, it is not far behind.

How could Petroyev refuse when such a wealthy businessman wanted to bring all his wealth to join him?

Not to mention Petroyev, not even the Queen Ekaterina could refuse!

And all Petroyev has to do is to temporarily provide shelter to the Fan family.

Not a big deal!

Well, just for now!

When the Fan family is wiped out and drained of its oil and water, Petroyev will no longer protect the Fan family.

The most he can do is to show mercy and send the entire Fan family to his own manor to be serfs, taking care of their food and drink, so that they will not die of cold and hunger in the Siberian wilderness.

Speaking of greed, the Slavs are no worse than the Onsa people!

……

There was a sea of ​​fire in Culun City!

In a courtyard in the northwest corner, a caravan was still making its final resistance.

The gate of the courtyard was banged and clanged, and it looked like it was crumbling.

The caravan guards climbed up the wall alternately, aiming at the crowds of Rakshasa soldiers and Cossacks outside, raising their guns and shooting.

Every time a gunshot rang out, someone in the thick crowd outside the wall would fall to the ground.

The projectile rotated and hit the head of a Rakshasa soldier with a high nose and deep eyes. With a loud bang, the Rakshasa soldier's Tianling Cap was blown away, and his brains spilled out instantly.

Use this to reduce the pressure at the courtyard gate!

Within the courtyard wall, the shopkeeper of Guang Shunfa stood in the main room with a gloomy face. Hearing the crackling gunshots, screams and wails outside, he paced anxiously in the lobby.

"The Rakshasa Kingdom invaded brazenly and Kulun fell. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this time!"

One of the accountants sighed heavily and spoke.

The expression on his face was quite solemn.

"There is no other way but to fight to the death!"

"Even if we, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, are equipped with swords, we will never surrender to the enemy. We will live in vain and dishonor the soul of our army."

The guard captain of the business group said, his expression quite firm.

Obviously, this business group that is still resisting at this point is not an ordinary business group.

It is a team sent by the Ming Dynasty to lurk in Culun to collect intelligence, and is organized under the Jinyiwei.

Many members of the merchant group were deployed from active soldiers of the Ming army.

As an elite force that is invincible on the battlefield, the Ming army is very proud.

They would rather die in battle than humiliate the Ming Dynasty by surrendering to the barbarians they despised.

Of course, the reason why the attitude of the Ming army was so resolute, apart from the spiritual reluctance to surrender, actually also had practical factors in it. How should I put it, the Ming Dynasty has high pensions for soldiers who are disabled and killed in battle.

If a soldier died on the battlefield, the court would not only give his family land and pensions.

If there is no one left in his family, the court will step in to raise their children to adulthood and provide their children with a chance to receive free education.

Ming Dynasty’s pension work for fallen soldiers can be said to have truly fulfilled your wife’s promise to support them!

But in contrast, the Ming army severely punished betrayers.

Once someone surrenders to the enemy because of fear of death on the battlefield, not only will he himself have to go to a military court, but his family will also be implicated.

All military pay, rewards, and military merit fields awarded by the imperial court will be taken back, and his family members will also be exiled.

It can be said that one thought is heaven and one thought is hell!

Because of this, the Ming army is now full of resistance to surrender.

If they are in a desperate situation, for Ming soldiers, even if it is for their own families, the priority of dying in battle is still higher than surrendering and saving their lives.

And this kind of custom is not only popular in the army. With the mutual transfer of personnel, the Jinyiwei side also began to follow the same example.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with an ugly expression.

"We are deeply favored by our country, and we should fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty."

"It's just that it doesn't matter if we all sacrifice, but how can this news be spread back to the capital?"

During the conversation, everyone's face was cold and hard.

The guard captain heard this and gritted his teeth.

"How about trying to break out?"

"Now we still have thirty or forty good warriors who have fought hard on the battlefield. If we break out separately, some of them may be able to escape and spread the news."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of the business group nodded vigorously.

"That's fine!"

"We are now in a desperate situation, and we are bound to die. But of course we are going to die. Some are heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than a feather. We will risk our lives today."

"Even if I risk my life, I still have to send the news back to Nanjing!"

These people pretended to be a business group and traveled thousands of miles to Kulun outside the pass. The purpose was to monitor the movements of the Qing army in the Mobei grassland.

The Rakshasa Kingdom invaded brazenly and captured Kulun. Even though the Ming Dynasty could not reach the outside world for the time being, this matter could still be regarded as a major event for the Ming Dynasty.

Because this matter is related to the situation in Mobei, and once the situation in Mobei changes, it can also affect the whole body, and then affect the war situation within the pass.

Naturally, the sooner Nanjing receives such big news, the better!

In order to spread the news as soon as possible, they did not hesitate to work hard.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus.

Then they immediately began to make arrangements for the breakout.

However, the next moment, there was a deafening roar.

A big hole was made in the tall courtyard wall.

A shell shattered the courtyard wall and poured into the courtyard.

Several guards were unable to dodge and were hit by the cannonballs. In an instant, their bodies were smashed to pieces, leaving no one intact.

The scene is shocking! (End of chapter)
