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

The blades clashed, and the bayonets turned red.

Fighting with cold weapons requires one fatal move. As soon as the two sides come into contact, some people start to fall to the ground and die.

Lu Junyi rushed to the front, shouted to kill, and thrust forward with the bayonet in his hand.

There was a pop, and the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard.

A Mongolian soldier in front of him covered his throat with a bloody hole pierced by a bayonet, and fell to the ground screaming.

Lu Junyi was sure to kill with one strike, and quickly retreated. The musket in his hand moved horizontally to the right, blocking the chop of another Mongolian soldier.

The musket pressed down smoothly, and while the Mongolian soldier was pressed wide open, the sharp bayonet was sent forward again.

When the Mongolian soldier saw this, he was stabbed in the vital part of the chest by a bayonet before he could resist, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Speaking of mounted archery and horseback kung fu, these Mongolian soldiers could completely defeat the Ming army.

But when it comes to hand-to-hand fighting, it would be easy for the Ming army to beat two or three of them one at a time.

Not to mention that the current situation on the battlefield is order versus disorder.

The Ming army's bombardment was not in vain.

But soon after Lu Junyi retreated again, he saw a Cossack not far away taking out a short ax from his waist.

The hatchet was thrown and hit him on the head.

Lu Junyi subconsciously tilted his head, and the short ax flew past his helmet.

But even so, the shock force generated by the helmet being hit still made Lu Junyi's head buzz.

Just when Lu Junyi came to his senses and was about to step forward to fight, a horn for withdrawal suddenly came from behind.

Seeing this, Lu Junyi's complexion changed slightly. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still began to retreat in an orderly manner in accordance with military orders.

Seeing this, the Cossack thought that the Ming army was afraid of him, so he howled and chased forward.

But there was only a bang of gunfire, and a ball of blood burst out from the Cossack's chest, and he fell to the ground with his head up.

If the Ming army wants to retreat, it is impossible for them to run back in a swarm like the mob on the opposite side.

There must be someone responsible for blocking and covering!
But seeing that the Ming army had just withdrawn, there was a roar of horse hooves on the battlefield.

A group of Cossack cavalry made a large circle on the battlefield, trying to launch an attack on the frontal battlefield and at the same time raid the flanks of the Ming army to open up the situation.

But obviously, their plan failed.

The hot air balloons floating over Suiyuan City are not decorations. The observers above are paying attention to the situation on the battlefield all the time.

As soon as there was any movement on the coalition side, the Ming Army received the news.

General Huang Wei responded immediately and asked his soldiers who were fighting with the enemy to withdraw their bayonets.

Those Cossacks missed it without any surprise!

However, the Cossack Suiyuan missed the target, but the Ming army's shelling did not miss the target.

As soon as those Cossacks entered the battlefield, the Ming army's shelling followed closely.

After several rounds of covering shelling, the Cossacks were knocked upside down and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing this, Petroyev had no choice but to order the Cossacks to withdraw.

However, his order had just been given, and the Cossacks had just turned their horses.

But they saw the gates of Suiyuan City opened wide again, and accompanied by a piercing sound of charging horns, the Ming army cavalry roared into the battlefield.

A cavalry charge was launched towards the Cossacks who were preparing to retreat.

The sharp lance was tucked under his arm, and beneath the iron mask were a pair of cold eyes.

The heavy armor painted red reflected the cold light under the sunlight.

Although the infantry of the Ming Army no longer had heavy armor units, the cavalry was still generally equipped with heavy armor.

Some troops even retain the formation of armored cavalry.

Well, most of the cavalry of the Ming Army are now versatile. They can not only act as light cavalry to fight the enemy, but also wear heavy armor and take on the task of charging and breaking formations.

The reason for this arrangement is for no other reason than simply to pursue the impact of the cavalry on the frontal battlefield.

Of course, the generals of the Ming army are not stupid, unless conditions fully permit.

Just like today, all the enemy's artillery has been knocked out, there is no long-range threat, and the infantry and cavalry are retreating. The array is chaotic and disorderly. It is really suitable for the cavalry to charge and expand the results.

The Ming army would not send its precious cavalry to take risks.

At this moment, it seemed that only the roar of the Ming army's cavalry was left on the entire battlefield.

The rumble of horse hooves almost crushed everything.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Ming Army on the front line could not help but raise their arms and cheer.

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

"..."

Racing and roaring, the romance of heavy riding lies in charging, charging non-stop, crushing everything that dares to stand in front of you.

The heavy cavalry of the Ming army poured into the coalition formation mercilessly.

The Cossacks who were preparing to retreat were instantly dispersed by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army.

The sharp carbine, supported by the galloping speed of the war horse, can easily skewer several people together like skewers of candied haws.

A Cossack turned his horse's head and prepared to resist.

He saw a Ming cavalryman with a broken lance. He rode up to him and slashed with his sword with all his strength.

But it had no effect at all. He used his full strength to slash the Ming cavalry with a knife. Sparks shot out from the blade and the heavy armor.

The Ming cavalry wearing heavy armor was completely unharmed, except for a white mark on the armor.

Although the knight in the armor felt pain, it did not affect the battle.

But the saber in the hands of the Ming army cavalry could easily split the Cossack's body.

Blood spurted out, a large hole several inches long was torn open in the waist and abdomen, and colorful internal organs gushed out from the wound...

The person can no longer survive on the spot!
If the light cavalry dares to charge head-on with the heavy cavalry, the outcome is uncertain.

The advantage of light cavalry lies in fighting and maneuverability. When it comes to frontal charges, they are far less sharp than heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry of the Ming army showed quite amazing combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, several gaps were opened in the enemy's array.

Immediately, the Ming army soldiers in the first and second lines of defense outside Suiyuan City received military orders to launch an attack.

The piercing sound of charge horns resounded across the battlefield, and the Ming infantry who had just retreated soon launched a bayonet charge.

Under the sunlight, the bayonet forest composed of bayonets reflects the cold light.

Breathtaking!

"Kill! The Ming Dynasty is victorious!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"..."

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was a one-sided massacre.

The coalition forces were already retreating, and were torn apart by the heavy cavalry of the Ming army during the retreat.

How could it not collapse now that it was being charged like this by Ming army infantry?
On the huge battlefield, the shouts of killing were like a tsunami.

The Ming army killed wantonly and expanded the results.

……

Petroyev looked at the battle situation on the front line, and veins popped out on the palm of his hand holding the telescope.

But my heart is full of solemnity and shock!

He has never encountered such a formidable enemy.

Volleys of rifle fire and bayonet charges were fired. When the order to retreat was received, the frontline troops quickly disengaged. Immediately after, the artillery cut off the infantry's rear. The cavalry attacked and tore up the enemy formation. Immediately, the infantry launched a full-scale charge...

The mutual cooperation and connection between various parts of the Ming army is really good.

There are almost no loopholes or flaws.

The Ming army's operational display made his scalp numb.

Petroyev had never seen such an elite army.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock and anger in his heart, Petroyev ordered his side to send troops to reinforce the front line and retreat in response to the retreat. On the battlefield, Mongolian cavalry once again attacked the flank of the Ming army.

The Ming army immediately gave up expanding their victory and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Soon, the Ming army withdrew to the defense line outside Suiyuan City.

The person killed was a bloody man, and the Ming army cavalry, whose horses looked like bloody horses, also retreated in an orderly manner and returned to Suiyuan City.

After this battle, the coalition forces did not dare to continue the attack on Suiyuan City rashly for the time being. They could only choose to withdraw to the camp and continue to besiege Suiyuan City.

In the Battle of Suiyuan, the two sides initially clashed, and the coalition suffered a big loss.

However, the Ming army was unable to take the initiative to launch a counterattack due to its limited strength. Therefore, the Battle of Suiyuan entered a confrontation.

The besiegers and defenders began to stare at each other in the ice and snow.

……

Beijing!

The capital remained calm on this day.

Since the rebellion of millions of water workers was suppressed, the capital has entered that peaceful and peaceful state again.

Although the weather is cold now, as the new year is approaching, the atmosphere in the capital has become lively.

There are shops and stalls everywhere on both sides of the street. There are a dazzling array of New Year's goods such as firecrackers, lanterns, couplets, candies, snacks, etc.

The people coming and going all have smiles on their faces!

Since the Ming Dynasty regained the capital, the capital's economy has begun to develop rapidly.

Especially after the railway connecting Beijing and Tianjin was built, countless goods passed through Tianjin's seaport and were transshipped into Beijing every day.

While lowering prices in the capital, it also provides a large number of jobs inside and outside the capital.

Coupled with the absence of the exploitation of the Eight Banners and the Baoyi to which the Eight Banners belonged, the lives of the people in the capital were obviously much easier.

When life is better, you will naturally be happy.

Guo You thought that he had been suffering for a year this year. No matter what, he had to cut off two pounds of meat during the Chinese New Year and make dumplings with pork and green onions to eat.

Carrying the money bag and pushing the wheelbarrow, Guo You entered the capital with his wife, Guo Wangshi.

They lined up to pass through the city gate, and after being inspected, entered the capital through Desheng Gate.

To his surprise, the imperial court issued a new decree that from today on, the city entry tax will be completely abolished nationwide.

In this case, he would have several copper coins left, and with the remaining money, he could buy two candied haws for his doll.

My baby has wanted to eat candied haws on a stick for a long time.

Normally I would be reluctant to part with it, but now that the Chinese New Year is coming, just spend it when it’s time to spend it.

"We, the Han people, still have to have their own court. We have only been in power for a few years, and the city entrance tax has been waived. Unlike the Tatars, who are greedy and greedy, the city entrance tax increases every month and every year. It is really not a thing. "

Guo You muttered nothing good.

But his wife has long been accustomed to this.

Are there any men who grew up in the capital who are not poor?

After passing the city gate, Guo You took his wife and walked to the market in the outer city.

They want to buy new year's goods, so they go to the market.

Soon, they followed the flow of people and arrived at the market.

Looking at the noisy market in front of him, Guo You couldn't help but be speechless again.

"There are too many people..."

But in numbers there are many, so after taking one look, he continued to move forward.

After the couple entered the market, they heard the sounds of sales and hawking everywhere.

The walls of the street are painted with slogans to look after your valuables and beware of pickpockets.

From time to time, policemen from the patrol room can be seen walking through the streets with swords and guns in hand, maintaining order in the market.

After all, this place is at the feet of the emperor. Even if it is for the sake of the court's face, Ming Dynasty must maintain public order.

Guo You took his wife around the market and quickly bought the new year goods he needed.

His wheelbarrow contained a lot of stuff.

Two pieces of calico, two pounds of pork belly, a pound of salt, a pound of sugar, some snacks, a few couplets, some needles, thread, and other miscellaneous things.

Of course, he also didn't forget the candied haws of apples he promised to buy for the children.

Guo You counted the money he had left, thinking that he might be able to buy something else.

"This year, the prices of many annual products have been reduced again. We have a lot of money left. Are we buying something?"

Guo You asked his wife.

The reason why he had money left over to buy new year's goods was because when he took the money, he calculated it based on last year's prices.

Calculated, it should be just right.

Unexpectedly, prices have dropped a lot this year, especially the price of a piece of floral cloth, which has dropped from three hundred yuan last year to two hundred and forty yuan.

The price has plummeted.

It is said that this is because a kind of textile machine has emerged in the south. It is driven by a steam engine, which can greatly increase the textile efficiency.

Then, this caused the price of cloth to plummet.

But Guo You didn't think it was credible. He knew about the steam engine, which was the machine that pulled the train on the rails.

It’s hard to overstate the amount of strength it takes to pull a train and it’s extremely close.

But weaving is a delicate job.

What is the difference between asking a steam engine that can pull a train to run on the rails to drive textile machinery and asking Zhang Fei to embroider?
He doesn't believe this nonsense.

When Guo You's wife heard this, she shook her head and said.

"Don't buy it. We've almost got all the New Year's goods. Save what you can. Now that the price of cotton has dropped again, it's getting harder and harder to make money."

China has been an agricultural country since ancient times.

The small-scale peasant economy in which men farm and women weave is the mainstream of society.

To put it bluntly, it means that men farm the land to support their families, while women take care of the family and at the same time weave and sell cloth to support the family.

However, as the Ming Dynasty promoted the development of industry and commerce, large factories began to rise under the background of the Industrial Revolution.

Under the squeeze and involution of large factories and machines, the price of cotton cloth is getting lower and lower.

This is a wake-up call for the small-scale peasant economy that relies on men to farm and women to weave.

Today's Ming Dynasty has also begun to inevitably experience the inevitable pains of industrial development.

Ordinary farmers like Guo You who are close to big cities will be the first victims of industrial development.

Now the consequences are beginning to show...

Seeing this, Guo You nodded and said.

"Ok."

"Then I won't buy it..."

The couple packed up their things and prepared to go home.

However, just as the couple was preparing to leave the city gate, they found that the city gate of Beijing was blocked.

A policeman from the patrol room began to clear the road, driving away the people on the road roughly.

After the people were driven away, a soldier with a straight posture, wearing armor and carrying a musket appeared.

They stood a few steps apart on both sides of the road, creating a barrier with their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Guo You and others knew that someone important was about to enter or exit the city gate.

As expected, it didn't take long before a fast horse was seen galloping from the direction of the inner city.

The knight on horseback shouted while galloping.

"His Majesty has a decree to summon the King of Ryukyu to see him!"

"His Majesty has a decree to summon the King of Ryukyu to see him!"
