Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The main guns used on these two battleships are exactly the same as those on the "Changsha", the difference is that there are only eight in number instead of ten. Twenty-six shells weighing three to four hundred kilograms whizzed towards the British fort in Xiyingpan, ten kilometers away, and a few seconds later, higher and thicker smoke rose again over the British fort.

Although such a violent attack had been expected by the British, and they had made some preparations and reinforced the fort a lot before the battle, they did not realize until the end of the day that the power of the shells fired by the Chinese was far greater than that of the Chinese. Their own shells of the same caliber are at least [-]% larger. The Xiyingpan Fort is considered the strongest among the several forts in Hong Kong. It took two years to deal with the growing threat after the Chinese Empire became stronger. Not only was it built the largest scale, but the artillery deployed on it was also the most advanced large-caliber artillery in Britain.It is much stronger than the fort at Tin Hau Temple in the northern part of Hong Kong Island.However, even the forts that the British relied on to guard the harbor, under the fierce attack of the Chinese warships, were like paper pricks and would not play much role.

In the first wave of attack alone, four of the eight most advanced shore anti-corrosion guns brought by the British on the Xiyingpan Fort were destroyed, and the British soldiers on the fort suffered heavy casualties.Most of these damages were caused by the ten bombers flying high in the sky. Although the naval gun shells on the warship were not weaker than the aerial bombs, after all, it was the first salvo and the hit rate was not very high.Although the well-trained British soldiers suffered such a loss, they still reacted immediately, and the only four remaining artillery pieces also roared.However, the distance of ten kilometers is really a bit far for these shore fire artillery. Needless to say, the destructive power and the hit rate are pitifully low, but there are some water jets aroused beside the Chinese warship.

The strong sea breeze blew past, quickly blowing away the smoke that shrouded the fort.Lu Rongting, who was ten kilometers away, could see clearly through a telescope.The strongest Saiyingpan Fort on Hong Kong Island is no longer in shape.Most of the main building was blown up, and even the ancillary buildings were blown to pieces.The power of the four remaining cannons on the fort was no longer as powerful as before, more like the groaning of a trapped animal before it died.

Before the bombers of the Air Force left.The second round of shells issued from the warship.It came to the British army again.This time, the hit rate of the shells has increased a lot, at least [-]% of the shells landed on the fort.in a blink.The four coastal defense guns that were still struggling.Immediately there was no sound.Lu Rongting could clearly see through the binoculars that the British artillerymen on the fort were bending over with their heads in their hands, desperately drilling into the ammunition delivery channel under the fort.

After firing another round of salvos, almost all the buildings on the Xiyingpan Fort were swept away. Then Lu Rongting ordered the three giant ships "Changsha", "Guilin" and "Chaozhou" to sail into Victoria Bay and head straight Killed to another fort located in the north of Tianhou Temple.As for the anti-landing defensive positions under the Xiyingpan Fort, they were handed over to five cruisers to clear them.With the large-range 180mm main guns on the cruiser, it is more than enough to blow up these temporary defensive positions.Moreover, those machine gun bunkers and field artillery bunkers on the defensive positions are really insignificant to the battleship's main guns.

The 180mm main gun on the cruiser not only has a long range, but also has a much faster rate of fire than the British shore artillery. It is quite neat to name the fortifications on the shore.

Resurgence: The Battle of Hong Kong in World War II Chapter 4 and Eleven

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, under the attack from both sides of the navy and the air force, almost all the forts on the west side of Hong Kong Island were blown up, leaving only a small fort on the east side.Not only that, but a large number of coastal fortifications deployed around Victoria Bay were basically blown up.It is estimated that there is nothing that can cause too much threat.Only then did Lu Rongting issue the landing order.At the same time, the cruiser formation was ordered to cover the landing of the army.As for himself, he wanted to bring three battleships to the east of Hong Kong Island. Although the fort on the east was small, it was still a threat. To be on the safe side, Lu Rongting decided to pull out this nail.

"Soldiers, today, you will fire the empire's first shot against the British devils who oppressed us. Show your courage. As long as we win, you will be remembered forever by future generations. Your names are among the first to be engraved in the Huaxia Military Soul Shrine! Let’s go!”

Following Lu Rongting's offensive order, countless alums rushed across the formerly beautiful Victoria Harbor, crossed the beach, avoided scattered artillery fire and incoming bullets, and launched a brutal hand-to-hand battle with the British army in the hinterland.

The First Division of the Tenth Army, who had been waiting impatiently, all geared up after receiving the order.The first group came from Tai Kok Tsui Pier, and the second group from Kwun Tong Pier, and rushed towards Hong Kong Island like two sharp swords.At the same time, the five cruisers in charge of covering also split into two groups, and the main and secondary guns fired together, blowing up the only remaining British hiding in the coastal fortifications so that they did not dare to look up.The artillery of the First Army, which was deployed overnight in Tsim Sha Tsui, also began to show its power at this time.Numerous battalion artillery, howitzers and rocket launchers were fired together, almost covering the entire west side of Hong Kong Island in artillery fire.

What really broke the British soldiers guarding the beach was the [-] bombers flying from Guangzhou.These bombers have been replaced with five-kilogram small bombs, and the rain of bombs fell from the sky, blowing the British positions into a sea of ​​​​flames.At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the two sharp swords landed successfully, there were at most fifteen hundred British soldiers who could organize an effective defense and could not retreat.Moreover, under such powerful artillery fire, all exposed firepower points were completely blown up by the Chinese. As soon as those hidden British troops showed up, they were immediately strangled by the waiting warships and army artillery.

In the absence of heavy weapons, these [-] British soldiers who had been dispersed were obviously unable to stop the two regiments of the Chinese Army rushing up like wolves and tigers.After only resisting for half an hour, the battle on the beach was over. About a thousand British soldiers put down their weapons and raised their hands. They lined up in an orderly line and walked into the temporary prisoner-of-war camp set up by the Chinese army. .

As soon as the battle on the beach was over, after the two regiments handed over the aftermath to the successor troops, they didn't even take a break, and went straight to the hinterland of Hong Kong Island, where about [-] people escaped from the artillery fire The British soldiers, under the leadership of the commander, are preparing to use the buildings of Hong Kong City to have a more tragic street battle with the Chinese soldiers.

However, the current Chinese army is not the Qing army more than 50 years ago. The semi-automatic rifles and the latest mass-produced submachine guns equipped by individual soldiers are enough for the British to drink a pot. Semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns are obviously better than the British Rifles in human hands are more suitable for street fighting.What's more, the morale of these British soldiers has been low, and their guns have also lost a lot during the retreat of the large army.No matter how strong the fortifications are, they all look fragile in front of the Chinese armored forces. The British want to rely on some Western-style buildings in the city to block the imposing Chinese, obviously overestimating their own combat effectiveness.

At this time, although the marines had pushed the British into several relatively strong buildings, they did not launch an attack immediately. They just sealed off the surrounding area and evacuated the residents in the nearby area. Suffered indiscriminately in battle.Although they have been away from the embrace of the motherland for decades, it is not their fault, but the incompetence of the Qing government.In Lu Rongting's eyes, they are all real Chinese, and they should naturally be the objects of his protection.

After the attacking force evacuated all the surrounding residents, the main force used to attack those strong buildings also came.Twenty tanks that had just landed rumbled over with a cloud of dust, and wherever they went, the Chinese soldiers burst into cheers.However, the British seemed to see the devil approaching them.

Behind the tank, followed more than 20 self-propelled artillery. These artillery with strong skin and thick flesh ignored the bullets fired from the building. rushed into the building.Amidst the rumbling gunfire, marble buildings were razed to the ground. Inside the ruins, British soldiers with broken arms and feet threw away their weapons and kept moaning and calling for help.

After destroying one building, the tanks and self-propelled guns moved on to another building, leaving the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the infantry.In fact, with the strength of the Marine Corps, even without tanks, it is only a matter of time before these British are wiped out.However, since the establishment of the new army, it has taken the lives of soldiers very seriously. The past tactics of defeating the enemy with crowds are no longer suitable for the needs of modern warfare. What is more important is to improve the combat capabilities of individual soldiers.As long as the casualties of soldiers can be reduced, no matter how much ammunition is wasted, it is worthwhile.Over the past few years, the army has been earnestly training joint operations between tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and infantry, and Hong Kong is the best battlefield to test the results of the training.

One after another British-style buildings were razed, and teams of British soldiers raised white flags.By [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the paratrooper company had surrounded the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion. There were only more than a hundred Hong Kong Governor Bradley with available troops. Finally, he reluctantly ordered all the British soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese troops nearby.However, what Bu Li did not expect was that when the order was issued, other than the people around him, the rest of the British soldiers had already entered the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp.The two [-]-ton destroyers stationed in Hong Kong, where Lun Pan fled, were also bombed and sunk by the Chinese Air Force at a place about [-] kilometers away from Hong Kong Island, and all the soldiers on board were killed.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on September 1900, 9, Hong Kong, which had been away from the motherland for 16 years, finally returned to the embrace of the Chinese people. The entire Hong Kong Island was filled with thunderous firecrackers.The Chinese here had never been so happy since January 59, 26, when the British forcibly occupied Hong Kong Island.What's more, what liberated Hong Kong Island was not the Qing government, which was famous for its political dictatorship and treated the people like nothing, but the Chinese Empire, which was ahead of Britain, France and other countries in terms of democracy.

As soon as the news of the Battle of Hong Kong came out, it immediately caused a shock in the world.The British "Times" published an article by the chief commentator for the first time, in which he said: "Hong Kong has solid fortifications, a strong fortification comparable to that of Panama, and about [-] well-trained soldiers. soldiers, but they collapsed after only holding on for ten hours. More importantly, the British soldiers did not lay down their weapons under unfavorable circumstances. Most of the British soldiers fought until the end before surrendering. Otherwise, the British would not The casualties would be so heavy. With such tenacious resistance, the Hong Kong garrison still suffered such a humiliating defeat, so the fighting power of the Chinese must be too terrible.”

The British "Guardian" published a commentator's article saying: "The Battle of Hong Kong was a battle without any suspense. China dispatched two hundred bombing sorties, three battleships and eight cruisers, and dispatched 5000 bombers. 20 troops. At the same time, this is the first time that China's armored corps has been put into use in a large-scale war after World War II. Twenty tanks, more than 20 self-propelled artillery and more than 1 armored personnel carriers cooperate with each other. The battle caused considerable damage to the British. Thinking back then, the invincible soldiers of the British Empire were as helpless as chickens that had just hatched in front of the well-equipped Chinese. The battle lasted no more than ten hours from the firing of the first shot to the announcement of the surrender by the Governor of Hong Kong, which was almost impossible to see in previous battles. You must know that there are at least 6000 British soldiers stationed in Hong Kong, and almost They are all elite troops transferred from the United Kingdom in recent years, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the British regular army in the colonies. During the ten-hour battle, 2000 British soldiers suffered heavy losses, with more than 2000 dead and about 100 injured. More than 50 soldiers put down their weapons and walked into the prisoner-of-war camp without much resistance. Compared with the heavy casualties of the British army, the Chinese army only caused about [-] casualties, of which only [-] were killed or seriously injured. There are many people around."

Russia's "Moscow Daily Telegraph" said: "The Battle of Hong Kong will undoubtedly occupy a very important position in the history of military research in later generations. This is the first joint sea, land and air battle in human history. Compared with the Battle of St. Petersburg that year , this war really created a precedent for armored combat. After all, in the Battle of St. Petersburg, although tanks were used, they were mostly used to drive and defend the enemy. What really worked was the army's trenches. In this battle of Hong Kong, China used all the latest chariots and second-generation tanks developed by itself in recent years. Facts show that in the face of new combat methods, the old positional warfare and trench warfare The world's military development is about to enter the armor age under the leadership of China."

Resurgence: The Second World War Chapter 4 The Handsome Boy

The American "Los Angeles Express" commented: "Hong Kong was occupied in ten hours. This is an incredible thing for the United Kingdom and all Western countries. In their view, although the possibility of Hong Kong being able to hold is extremely small, after all, Hong Kong Right under the eyes of China, with the Sino-British negotiations bogged down in the quagmire, China's use of force to take back Hong Kong is almost the only choice for the Chinese. What's more, this battle created a miracle. After ten hours of fighting In this case, due to the careful planning in advance, the design of the attack route, and the timely evacuation of civilians at the point of fire, only 26 Hong Kong citizens were injured in this battle, and they received proper medical treatment as soon as the war ended. Created a miracle of zero deaths in the history of world wars."

The French "Marseille" also quickly commented on this matter: "It seems that the British made a wrong decision at the wrong time and at the wrong place this time. Before that, the UK had not officially reported to China. In the past two days, they have been trying to actively contact the Chinese Foreign Ministry through diplomatic means, and privately expressed their apologies for the unfriendly negotiations in London, but they never mentioned the time and place of the second negotiation. As a result It can be seen that although the British are aggressive on the surface and look like they don’t take China seriously, they even sent more troops to Hong Kong. But in their hearts, the British are still quite afraid of China. Although they On the surface, it is still the world's number one military power, but they are quite clear in their hearts that China's scientific and technological strength is really amazing. Airplanes, tanks, and submarines were only imagined on the blueprints of British experts. Once it becomes a reality by the Chinese, once all these scientific and technological forces are invested in the military, it will be a very dire consequence. Therefore, the British still do not want to be an enemy of China so early in their hearts. Otherwise, with their personalities, it is estimated that within a few minutes of China's attack on Hong Kong, they would have already declared war on China."

The German "Germanicer" commented more subjectively: "The Chinese ignored the olive branches repeatedly extended by the British, and launched an attack on Hong Kong regardless. This illustrates two problems. First, The Chinese still hate the British invasion of China and the unequal treaties they signed. They are holding their breath and vowing to give the British a good lesson in retaliation for the two Opium Wars and the British disregard of China. People's feelings, and the hatred of taking an indifferent and evasive attitude towards the Hong Kong issue. China's tough stance in this incident and the Sino-Japanese bird port incident some time ago has shown that if you don't respect me, don't expect us to respect you. Second, the Chinese do not really take the number one power in the world seriously. The so-called friendly actions of the British are not enough to dispel China’s strong demands for its own territory. In this case, as a recognized world’s number one power, Britain Naturally, people can't do things like the former Qing government, insisting on using their hot faces to cling to the cold buttocks of the Chinese people, even if they are unwilling in their hearts, they can only bite the bullet and fight."

In Beijing, the autumn is crisp and clear. After finishing the government affairs at hand, Guan Xuqing relaxes in the Old Summer Palace with the companions of a group of palace officials.Looking up at the sky of the universe, looking down at the flowers that never fade in all seasons, I feel a burst of joy in my heart, and I want to break my throat and sing.Guan Xuqing stopped for a long time before coming to the stele of the scenic spot in Fanghu, and saw that there was an inscription written by Emperor Qianlong on the stele.You must know that gold and silver are palaces, so how different is it?Immediate realm is immortal, at ease in my room, what is there to seek?This square pot is also the name of the residence.In the east is the Ruizhu Palace, in the west there are three pools reflecting the moon, clearing the sky and brightening the sky, creating another scenic spot.Fei Guantu cloud mirror water cold, take empty pines and cypresses and ginseng.Gaogang Xiangyu's name should be six, and Quzhu Hanchan's seal should be three.It is not a good thing to use the craftsman's heart, and the people of Qi are just empty talk.Fighting like a fairy house in Maotu, Twelve golden halls are more shameless.

Guan Xuqing thought to himself, Qianlong claimed to have made three major achievements in his life: establishing virtue, making meritorious service, and establishing a reputation.Let’s talk about morality first. Qianlong’s difference from Li Shimin’s in this respect is far more than scheming. He condoned and corrupted the gentry, listened to one side and believed in another. The question of whether the messenger kneels or not kneels is stubborn, what is the word for virtue?Besides, in terms of meritorious service, Qianlong was inferior to Kangxi in terms of ability, and inferior to Yongzheng in terms of diligence. To a large extent, the reason why he was able to sit on such a large amount of merit was to say that he was born at the right time.If Kangxi and Yongzheng hadn't made great efforts to govern and laid such a solid foundation for the Qing Dynasty, how could the prosperity of Qianlong appear?Finally, let’s talk about Liyan. Qianlong ordered the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", which contains the culmination of ancient and modern books, but on the one hand he compiled the books and searched all the old papers and words in the world, but at the same time, the literary prison instigated in his hands reached an unprecedented level. How many precious ancient books were burned and annihilated in the Qianlong Dynasty?

Guan Xuqing thought, I don't know if future generations will evaluate him or Qianlong, which one is better?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Wang Shang running over from the stone path profusely with sweat on his head. Guan Xuqing frowned. He finally had the leisure to enjoy the autumn scenery. Seeing Wang Shang's flustered appearance, he must have Yes, something happened again.

Wang Shang has become the chief executive in the past few years, and he has become more and more blessed. It is a bit difficult to walk, not to mention that he ran away. He finally got in front of the emperor, and he was already out of breath. "Emperor... Your Majesty..."

Guan Xuqing looked at Wang Shang's distressed appearance, and laughed angrily, "You dog slave, seeing how anxious you are, what news do you bring to me again? I will wait for you to catch your breath first."

Wang Shang managed to calm down, and then said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the two daughters of Rong Geng that the servant mentioned to you a few days ago, and you kept praising them as strange women?" .”

Guan Xuqing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, I remember, what's wrong?"

"You also said that you will meet them when you have time in the future."

Guan Xuqing kicked Wang Shang's ass and scolded: "You son of a bitch, tell me what you need to say directly."

Wang Shang laughed badly and said, "The two princesses have already returned to China! Do you think they should be declared into the palace to face saints?"

"Oh?" Guan Xuqing said happily: "Alright, where are they now?"

"It's in Master Zhen's Jingren Palace. The slaves only now know that Master Zhen has been playmates with these two princesses since he was a child. It's great that the three of them are inseparable. A few days ago, the two princesses They returned to China from France and England successively, and went to visit Master Zhen as soon as they came back, and the three of them lingered together all day long, talking endlessly about themselves."

Guan Xuqing kicked Wang Shang's ass again, and cursed: "Slave dog, if that's the case, what are you talking about here? Immediately follow me to Jingren Palace to visit those two princesses... No, Visit my concubine Zhen."

Wang Shang smiled knowingly and said, "Cha, go see Master Zhen."

Accompanied by Wang Shang, Guan Xuqing came all the way to the gate of Jingren Palace. Wang Shang tried his best to shout out to the people inside, but Guan Xuqing gave him a hard look and hurriedly covered his mouth. . "Don't be so yelling, my beloved concubine who came to see me is not Linchao, do I need such a bluff?"

"twitter."

Passing through the two moon gates, the palace people on duty saw that the emperor was coming, and were so frightened that they knelt down and wanted to shout long live, but Wang Shang stopped them in time.When he came to the third door, Guan Xuqing listened carefully, only to hear the crisp laughter coming from inside, his heart moved, and he walked gently into the inner court.

I saw a wave of autumn water under the moss-covered rockery, and three girls beside the water wave were talking and laughing.Concubine Zhen is sitting on a rose chair, looking at the front with a blushing face, standing next to her is a girl dressed in Western style, with wavy curly hair, wearing a foam kilt, smiling at Concubine Zhen from time to time: " Sister, I told you not to move, don’t move, what you usually look like at this time is still the same, just look at the camera in front of you. "

Concubine Zhen beat the girl on the back, and said: "De Ling, your sisters like to tease me since they were young. After going abroad for a few years, you came back with nothing else, and brought sister a rare thing from Westerners. This thing It can't be a Westerner's demon mirror, it's too evil, don't take my soul away."

De Ling laughed and trembled: "Sister, you stay in the palace all day, and you don't know anything about the outside world. This is called a camera. It can take photos of people and scenery in real life. How can you take pictures of the soul? Take it away, you can really break it!"

"Isn't it? Think about it, using this thing to turn me into a living person on a piece of paper, isn't that a dementor? No, sister, I don't dare to play this foreigner's trick." Said As soon as Concubine Zhen was about to get up, De Ling pushed her back to her seat.

De Ling deliberately tensed his face and said: "Sister, if I teach you not to move, don't move. Look at the camera over there, and you will be fine in a while. If you don't follow me, my sister will not come to play with you in the future."

At this moment, a thin voice behind the camera curtain said: "Don't move, just this position, okay, take a picture!"

With a sound of "bang", a cloud of fire and white smoke came out of the camera, Concubine Zhen was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair and shouted, "There is a ghost! There is a ghost!"

With a flick of the camera curtain, an unusually handsome young man came out from behind. This young man had a long English-style ponytail, wore gray overalls, a snow-white shirt with a bow tie inside, and looked both gentlemanly and elegant. Heroic and valiant.

Guan Xuqing's anger welled up in his heart, and he thought to himself, what a shame, how could a young man appear in the imperial concubine's bedroom!

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 4

Guan Xuqing wanted to get angry at first, but he suppressed his anger forcibly, to see what kind of tricks they were up to, so he didn't hide, he put his hands in front of the moon gate, and looked at Zhenfei and the three from a distance.

The flash of the camera and the sound of a bang really frightened the ignorant Concubine Zhen, her face was pale, she clutched her chest and shivered.Seeing that De Ling really frightened Concubine Zhen, she hurried forward to comfort her with a smile.The young man in charge of taking pictures pointed at Concubine Zhen and said, "Sister, are you really scared to take a picture like this? Just now I said that I was brave, but now..." After speaking, I realized that this person's voice was soft , obviously a girl's voice.While talking, the girl's finger pointed at Guan Xuqing who was standing with his hands behind his back. In the distance, he saw a handsome man in a golden dragon robe staring at him closely. His heart trembled. Immediately, he couldn't utter the words, but just stood there in a daze.

"The emperor is here!" Seeing that the time had come, Wang Shang shouted.
