Chapter 170 Qianlong's Fear [Please Collect]

In the eyes of the Manchu and Qing emperors of the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong, the actual effectiveness of the rifle [rifle] was very disproportionate to its cost. Its range is several times longer than that of ordinary [musket] guns, but it is too difficult to load and the rate of fire is very slow. No matter whether it was Kang Mazi or Qianlong, they didn't care at all about such weapons, because their rate of fire was too slow, they were ineffective on the frontal battlefield, and they were expensive to build.

During the reigns of Kangxi and Qianlong, the Manchu and Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Offices produced the Shixi flower-bore gun, which was a rifled matchlock gun. The barrel and the butt were connected with four silver hoops, because they were used by the emperor. There are very exquisite carvings, and the back of the barrel has the word "xi" plated with silver and gold. The butt is inlaid with silver, mother-of-pearl, ivory butterflies, copper running dragons, animal bones, etc. The effective range of this gun can reach 160 meters, and its accuracy is very high. It is thought that this kind of gun has linear grooves in the barrel.

Qianlong, who was nearly sixty years old, had long forgotten this kind of gun, but now that Fu Heng mentioned it, he immediately remembered it. If you change the match rope into a flint hair and be more careful, even if it is windy and raining, there will be no problem in firing.

This kind of weapon was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Kangxi and Qianlong earlier. Now, after the defeat of Gunhe, Qianlong suddenly realized that this kind of weapon could also be used as an 'assassin'.

Imagine being killed in a battle, hundreds of meters away, with one shot. A small bullet, a very ordinary rifle, can change the outcome of a war and affect the outcome of the war.

"This matter must be made known to the world. In the future, when facing Chen Ni, the officers and soldiers must beware of this matter."

"Your Majesty..." Fu Heng suggested that when the Qing court told the outside world about the defeat of Gunhe, they only said that Chen Ni's assassin was sinister and his methods were insidious, which resulted in the death or injury of a large number of senior generals. They were unable to command the troops at all, so the army was here. Collapse. However, the number of casualties of Yongrui's army should not be announced to the outside world. It is enough for the court to say "defeat", it is embarrassing enough.

As a result, many people may still be curious about the extent of the losses of the official army, but no one would think that the loss of the two thousand Jingzhou garrison flag soldiers would be as much as 70 to 80%!

…

In Sanxi Hall. After the six military ministers retreated, an angry Qianlong came here, spread out the paper and picked up the imperial pen, preparing to write a few big characters and calm down. But he miscalculated the impact that the defeat of Gunhe and the loss of 1,500 bannermen would have on him: ‘Pa…”

The eunuchs and maids waiting outside all raised their heads, wishing they could disappear. When the master is angry, the slave will suffer. Qianlong rarely got angry, but when he got angry, it was very deadly.

Wu Shulai stood behind the angry Emperor Qianlong with his head raised. He wanted to close his eyes, but he didn't dare, otherwise Qianlong would turn around and see him, and his skin would peel off even if he died. So he watched Qianlong smash the sky blue glaze drum nail porcelain washers from Song Jun kiln that he had always cherished. The jade Ruyi on the left and the plum blossom pit Duan inkstone on the right were all smashed to pieces.

Emperor Qianlong, who had a smooth journey and a great personality, could hardly imagine how the Ruzhou rebellion would make future generations view him. Would there be such a violent uprising in a truly peaceful age? His face was completely lost.

Moreover, the armies of the four provinces, with more than 40,000 troops, were completely defeated in less than a month. This would be regarded as a huge chaos at any time in the past dynasties. Qianlong was even more afraid of the bad subconsciousness this kind of uprising would convey to the Han people all over the world...

Just like in the original time and space history, in the 39th year of Qianlong's reign, the Qing government put down the uprising of Wang Lun of Qingshui Sect in Shandong. They worked hard and ingeniously to create a chess game - Take Wang Lun, and promoted it across the country, so that ordinary people could learn this game. Game chess. why is that? The Qing court's intimidation was so explicit, which shows how deeply Wang Lun's uprising dealt a heavy blow to the Qing government.

But even with such a shocking experience, in the Linqing area of ​​northwest Shandong, the playing method and chessboard of "Taking Wang Lun", which has been popular for two hundred years, are also unique. It is very different from other places in Shandong: Linqing is the king Lun's sacrifice place, when the Qing army captured Linqing City, there was too much killing, and the people also held grudges. In the "Get Wang Lun" game in Linqing, the structure of the chessboard is a microcosm of the street layout of Linqing City. There are two tactics of "carrying" and "clipping" to capture pieces, which directly alludes to the original Wang Lun rebel company. Defeat the Qing army in Shandong.

The Qingshui Sect's rebel army only broke through four or five counties in a month. Compared with the Chen family's army, it was just an appetizer before a big meal. Although the Qing court was so shocked because Wang Lun led a team to occupy Linqing, a transportation hub on the canal. But no matter how much trauma Wang Lun's rebel army caused to the Manchus, it was far from comparable to that of Chen Jiajun.

Now the secret camp led by Chen Guang and Chen Liang is very respectable in the world of martial arts. As soon as the secret camp's spies revealed their identities, the gangsters and sect figures everywhere they went looked up to them. It really has a bit of the posture of the Heaven and Earth Society in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

If you don’t know Chen Jiajun in your life, it’s useless to call him a hero!

In the final analysis, it was because the Manchus were a foreign race, and the words "rebelling the Qing and restoring the Ming" were never truly banned among the people and the party. Just like Sun Dapao and others in history, they relied on the Hui Party for uprisings again and again. No matter how bad the results were, you have to think about why the Hui Party and the G-Ming Party can hit it off on the general policy? Isn’t it because the idea of ​​opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has always been circulated?

When the Qing Dynasty was at its peak and its rule was stable, this kind of thought was bullshit. No one would really think that if they took out those four words, all the Han people in the world would follow them. Those secret society leaders would not seek death for the sake of justice. But when the order of the Qing Dynasty was shaken and raised, this kind of thought was on the lips of the secret society members again, and the flag that had been thrown into the clouds was raised again. Because these four words can win them interests and benefits.

In Chen Ming's eyes, such secret society members are all untrustworthy. They are more of speculators. Moreover, they are greedy for money. Today they swear to be irreconcilable with the Qing Dynasty, and tomorrow they can turn around and sell people when they see benefits. But to be honest, Chen's army has not yet reached the point where the world will gather to respond to win grain and follow. The stability and strength of the Qing Dynasty's rule is far beyond the late Qing Dynasty.

Their ruling order is still stable.

Changing dynasties is still absurd nonsense in this era, unlike the late Qing Dynasty, when it has become a consensus of countless people.

The dark figures and religious people in various places can sincerely say that they have long admired the Chen family army and the general's mansion, but if you want them to really work hard, you have to buy them with real money and smooth things over.

Qianlong knew what he was doing with his own country. He was not the same as he would be twenty years later. That's why he was afraid. He was afraid that this "sudden" rebellion would make his consolidated country loose, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was afraid that the Han people in the world would have the idea of ​​"not having it".

After entering the pass for 120 years, the magic weapon for the bannermen to rule the world was no longer the invincible Manchu soldiers, but a kind of ruling order formed by compromise and collusion with the Han literati. If this order became chaotic, the Qing Dynasty would be doomed.

Qianlong was deeply afraid that the Chen family would really disrupt that order...
