Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 713 Flame Troops
Xiong Xiling listened very carefully. Looking back on the past, none of the ministers in the study before the founding of the Qing Dynasty had a complete story. Mingzhu and Suo'etu were almost killed by Kangxi.He is not like ordinary ministers who feel jealous when the emperor appoints a newcomer.What he thinks the most is that he would rather die from exhaustion, and be satisfied with a good name from beginning to end in the end.Therefore, listening to Zaiyi's recitation of the emperor's words made me feel more comfortable than drinking this cup of Dahongpao tea. My wrinkled face stretched out, and I said, "My lord, the emperor's words are really flattering to me. To be honest, in the This position is prone to two problems after a long time. One is that a high position does not know how to cultivate morality, and after a long time, it becomes arrogant and extravagant. Because of the weight, it is easy to forget one's status as a courtier; The old officials have endless connections, how can they all follow the rules outside, and causing trouble is not your responsibility, and you also feel shameful. Doing errands next to the emperor is like walking on eggshells, as the saying goes, being careful makes the boat of ten thousand years." As he said that, his expression had already become gloomy, but he quickly raised his spirits, and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have said these words on your happy day. Now the Holy Spirit is above, and the candles are shining in all directions, just like the words that Long Live said, let everyone We courtiers also have the energy to do things. You are now at the age of riding the wind and waves and starting a business, cheer up and work hard, and you will definitely do better than me!"

"I will always remember Xiong Xiangye's kind words." Zai Yi changed the subject while pondering, "Last time I was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River on business, but I didn't know what to do. Ten, the emperor said that I did the right thing but passed it. I knew in my heart that it was too late, but the emperor did not point it out. To be honest, the official circles in Yangzhou Mansion have a bad reputation for me. The emperor's younger brother, the top is in charge of the sky, and the bottom is in charge of the earth. Even if we sneeze or fart, he will play it, making the emperor laugh, and officials big and small will be unlucky'"

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Xiling laughed out loud, and Zhirui also spit out a mouthful of tea.Zaiyi said: "No matter what, I want to do things well, and I don't intend to make a mess of it. It's just that I haven't worked on a special job, so I can't figure it out. So you can understand me if you know me."

Xiong Xiling said with a smile: "Employing people, administration, and financial management are all complicated. The difficulty lies in sorting out a clue from the myriad of clues. You are an imperial envoy, you can't catch your eyebrows and beards, let alone do it for you. For example, check The shortage of money and food is your first full-time job, and you must do it cleanly and neatly. You can just watch the rest of the matter, and only remind you of minor problems, or send a document to have the office handle it. It is best to talk to the senior officials there , the commander of the military region, discuss it, and jointly play it, and your errands will be handled, and they won't feel that you are in the way." Then he turned his face and smiled and said to Zhirui: "This is about Prince Duan, your brother Zhijun went to Jiangnan. It's the same with running errands. You are all relatives of the emperor, and you are more scrupulous than ordinary people. Word of mouth is like a sword, and you can crush people to death with your tongue."

"Yes." Zhi Rui hurriedly laughed: "But our brother is not as good as Prince Duan, he is of the royal blood of a real brand, and I am an uncle of a miscellaneous brand; he is a second-rank official in the court, and I am just a study Just walk. I told Zhijun that his imperial envoy’s tour can’t shake the ground. Do a few decent deeds and come back immediately to pay the order.”

While the three were chatting about authentic tea, the family hurried in from outside and said, "Eunuch Zhang, Xiaode, is here."

While he was talking, behind him Xiao Dezhang, wearing a pair of sunglasses, who was neither Chinese nor foreign, came in hurriedly with a fly brush, only to give Xiong Xiling a slap, and said: "The master asked Xiong Xiangye to enter the palace." discussion."

Xiong Xiling stood up and asked, "Master is in Changchun Garden, right?"

"No." Xiao Dezhang nodded to Zaiyi and Zhirui and said, "My master has just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and summoned Mr. Feng, a group of military officials, and senior officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to discuss raising Indian military salaries thing."

Xiong Xiling bid farewell to the two in a hurry, and followed Xiaode Zhang into the palace.

At this time in India, the British appointed Lieutenant General Barth as the interim supreme military officer in an attempt to use his reputation and experience to restore Britain's defeat in India, while the Chinese army in India entered a stage of full-scale offensive.

The right-wing corps led by Tang Shengzhi, led by Chen Jitang's armored corps, launched a massive attack from Guna and Redland to Mumbai.At that time, the British army had two brigades in Redland, which were stationed at various strategic points.With the Armored Corps as the vanguard, the Chinese army repeatedly attacked and occupied Letland in one go, posing a direct threat to Mumbai.Then Tang Shengzhi's soldiers divided into three groups, attacking Nashik on the left, Puna on the right, and Mumbai in the middle.

Mumbai is located on Salset Island off the west coast of India, on the verge of the Arabian Sea. It was occupied by Portugal in 1534 and transferred to Britain in 1661. After India became independent, it has gradually developed into a large city on the west coast and the largest seaport in the country. It is Maharashtra, India. The capital of Trabang is also an important trade center and gateway city in western India.

In order to save the defeat, Lieutenant General Bart pieced together the strength of 3 brigades and launched two counterattacks against Lederan, but was finally defeated by the powerful firepower of the Dragon Army armored troops.

On September 9, Tang Shengzhi's left army captured Baroda and Nashik on the same day; the right army captured Puna on time, and the three-way army formed a siege of Mumbai.

Just when Mumbai was in a storm, on the evening of September 9, the Chinese navy detoured from the Mannar military port to the west coast of India and launched a fierce shelling on Mumbai. In panic, they scattered and fled for their lives.

But the navy's attack made Chen Jitang, who was about to fall asleep, unhappy at the time. He thought that the navy was really greedy for success, and that it would be fine if he won a big victory at sea. Well, not all the credit has been taken away by them.He was dressed and commanded his tanks to bombard the gates of Mumbai.

Under the pincer fire of the Chinese sea and land, Lieutenant General Butt felt that he could no longer support him. Taking advantage of the night and the chaos in the city, he slipped out of the city. A few days later, he appeared in Bangalore to continue organizing the resistance.

On the other side, Chen Cheng's left-wing army, after being reinforced by a reinforced armored brigade, began to sweep across northern India.Chen Xilong, commander of the Enhanced Armored Brigade, was even crazier than Chen Jitang. He hardly stopped along the way, and the speed of progress made the infantry curse with anger.By the beginning of October, most of India had been controlled by the empire. All that Britain could control was a dozen small towns centered on Bangalore and thousands of demoralized soldiers.If things go on like this, within a week, there will be no more British soldiers on the entire land of India.

Outskirts of Bangalore.

A mysterious army came here quietly in the dark and was making tense deployments.This force is the Imperial Missile Force that has not shown up since the Indian War and has been the most talked about.

The imperial missile was successfully developed four years ago under the leadership of the former government official von Braun.Braun is a legendary figure who once led the development of rockets in Germany. Hitler was interested in rocket technology at the beginning. When he visited the launch test stand, Braun was appointed to explain the technical principles to the head of state.Braun explained the basic structure of the rocket to Hitler with his usual serious and rigorous attitude.But he soon discovered that Hitler's introduction to him was almost in and out. Only when he mentioned the possible military use of the V1 rocket, the Fuehrer's eyes sparkled.Braun began to vaguely feel that the future of his aerospace dream would be uneven.Later, he was taken to prison by the Gestapo, and the reason for his arrest was recorded: He and his colleagues stated that they had never intended to develop the rocket into a weapon of war.All the research and development work they do under pressure is just to make money to do their experiments and prove their theories.Their purpose is always cosmic travel.Braun was therefore likely to be convicted of treason and shot.In the end, Braun was released due to the multiple rescues of his friends and the lack of sufficient reasons for the charge of treason.

Braun's outstanding talent in rocket research attracted the attention of the Imperial Security Bureau. Zhao Bingjun reported the matter to the emperor, and Guan Xuqing immediately ordered to bring this man to the empire at all costs.At this time, Braun hated all the inhuman viciousness of the police, and accepted the invitation of the Security Bureau. At the same time, Braun was being monitored by the SS.He believes: "It is our duty to human beings to hand over our 'babies' to the right people."

When Braun finally arrived at the camp, the Dragon Army soldiers could not believe that this young man in his early 30s was the main inventor of the famous V1 rocket.Said one infantryman: "If we hadn't captured the greatest scientist of the Third Reich, we must have captured the greatest liar."

After the great scientist of the Third Reich arrived in China, with his outstanding intelligence and enthusiasm for work, the research team led by Braun devoted himself to this great human plan from the very beginning.Guan Xuqing specially invested huge sums of money to establish the world's largest aviation experiment base in the northwest region. In order to repay the kindness of the Chinese emperor, he not only donated the V2 rocket technology, but also presided over the development of the "Chinese Long Sword" series Carry missiles.But everyone knows that this is a huge project. There are tens of thousands of parts in the whole system and ground auxiliary equipment. These parts must work together precisely. Braun led the scientific research personnel to work day and night for several years, and finally completed the project. Such a masterpiece.

After the successful development of the Chinese Long Sword, due to the requirement of confidentiality, Braun's achievements were not publicized. He willingly buried himself in the laboratory and continued to polish his series of Chinese Long Swords.
