Chapter 252: Open your eyes to see the world, learn from the foreigners and learn skills to create a bright future!

Huang Qing's army has been besieging Kunming for more than ten days. During this time, he was presiding over the recovery plan of the entire Yunnan. On the other hand, he also allowed artillery to bombard Kunming from time to time, which made the people in Kunming panic and morale low.

These days, Zhao Liangdong doesn't even dare to go up to the city wall to check because he doesn't know when the Guards' shelling will come.

Several Qing army officers commanding on the city wall have died these days.

"It's not an option to continue like this." Zhao Liangdong's face was full of sorrow. Although the Ming bandits on the opposite side did not launch a large-scale offensive, they had completely cut off Kunming from the outside world.

Zhao Liangdong wondered whether all of Yunnan had fallen into the hands of the abominable Ming bandits, or whether the imperial court had sent reinforcements.

His son-in-law Yu Qijun, who was always considered to be resourceful, had no idea at this time. As soon as the Qing army left the city to fight, they would be beaten to death by the brutal Ming bandits on the opposite side, and even the entire army would be annihilated.

These days, the generals under Zhao Liangdong have gradually discovered some new ways. The Ming bandits on the opposite side are fighting in a way that is different from any army they have ever seen.

The Ming Army's musket phalanx was the thing that made these Qing generals ponder the most. Although the Qing army had never played with three-stage shooting, the Ming army's approach seemed to be able to better bring out the effect of the muskets.

Even with the cooperation of artillery and cavalry, the Ming army's tactics on the entire battlefield were very flexible and smooth, and could easily deal with the Qing army's attacks at various levels.

It is true that their skills are inferior to others, and they admit it.

Zhao Liangdong sighed and said: "After this battle, we must find a firecracker craftsman, or ask the court to make more firecrackers in the Qing Dynasty, imitate the methods of the Ming bandits, and train musket formations. The Ming bandits' firearms are sharp, so we must use them in future battles."

Obtaining a few of their weapons and imitating them will prove that there must be experts behind the bandits, and those who are so good at using firearms should probably be Western red-haired fans."

Many times, it's not that the Tatar emperors have no foresight. They know very well what is happening in the world. They know about the existence of flintlock guns, new artillery, and the industrial revolution. But they are really afraid in their bones that when slaves have ideas, they will get up with guns.

If you resist, you may end up like Louis XVI.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty were absolutely aware of the advancement of the West, but they just didn't learn, and they were stupid people.

When Huang Qing saw that the city had collapsed, he had nothing to be polite about. Although he originally planned to besiege Kunming for a while, it would be best to wait for reinforcements from the Qing army and then come to a siege point for reinforcements.

Just as Zhao Liangdong and others were discussing the "Westernization Movement", suddenly there was a roar of gunfire, and Zhao Liangdong's face became even worse.

"The city has fallen! The city has fallen!"

At this time, reinforcements from the Qing army's city also came in.

"Has today's bombardment started? It's a bit early." Zhao Liangdong was actually almost used to the daily "greetings" from the Ming army.

The dog emperor Qianlong was extremely shocked when he heard that Louis XVI and his wife were killed. The death of his good friend made him determined to close the country to prevent the invasion of foreign ideas and culture.

To be honest, it is a miracle that I can persist for so many days.

A large group of Qing soldiers had no choice but to hide behind the female wall and were suppressed by firepower.

Good guys, these people are already planning to open their eyes to the world and look forward to the Westernization Movement.

In order to clear a road for the infantry to attack the city, the Guards artillery could only be divided into part to take on the task of fire suppression.

The city collapsed. Zhao Liangdong knew that with his 20,000 troops, he could not stop the aggressive Ming army, so he had no choice but to escape if he wanted to survive!

As soon as the city of Kunming collapsed, Huang Qing ordered a large group of troops to protect the mortars as they advanced.

Moreover, at this time, their officers began to take the lead in escaping, and the other soldiers had no intention of continuing to fight on the city wall.

However, a huge rumble and vibration spread throughout the city. Zhao Liangdong's eyelids jumped, and then he heard soldiers starting to cry and howl in the distance.

Zhao Liangdong had no intention of fighting Huang Qing's army, so he immediately led his most trusted troops out of the city through the gate in the other direction where the city collapsed.

Following the slope formed by the collapse of the city wall, the soldiers of the Ming Guards climbed onto the city wall with little resistance.

"Occupying the city wall means occupying the commanding heights. Bring our mortars up to the city and establish a firepower point!"

Under this situation, some of the still stubborn Qing troops fought stubbornly on the city wall with blunderbuss or bows and arrows.

"The Ming army is too powerful, let's withdraw quickly."

He left several thousand Qing troops behind in the city, hoping to delay the Ming troops for a few more moments and give him time to escape.

Seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side was about to enter the city, they couldn't escape if they didn't run away. The Qing army guarding the wall had no intention of fighting. They ate the food of the Qing Dynasty and fought to this day. They have tried their best. It is a crime other than war.

.

Zhao Liangdong staggered and was about to fall. At this time, the veteran was also very decisive. He gritted his teeth and said: "Prepare your horses, let's break out of the city!"

"Let the 24-pound Polu cannon continue to fire, and aim at the Qing troops on the city wall!"

However, the artillery of the Guards was a bit too powerful. They bombarded the city of Kunming every day. The city wall, which was not very strong and tall, allowed the Ming army to bombard it for a while. It was too late to repair it, so it naturally collapsed.

A large number of artillery shells were fired into the city, and the Qing army in Kunming City simply could not withstand such powerful firepower.

"And I heard that the Francois in Haojing and the Dutch in Xiangjiang have very good relations with the Qing Dynasty. You might as well invite a few foreign instructors to practice the Qing Dynasty Green Camp."

The Guards arranged the battlefield in an orderly manner. The soldiers who entered the city from the city wall quickly opened the city gate, and more and more soldiers began to pour into the city.

The second son-in-law Yu Qijun also agreed. He said: "Father-in-law, there must be foreigners behind the Ming bandits to teach them, so our army should also follow their example."

For example, Qianlong, the dog emperor, and Louis XVI were pen pals!

Not only were the three generations of emperors Qianlong, Kang, Yong, and Qian, they had three generations of family friends with King Louis of France. The palace of the Qing Dynasty was home to more than 80 missionaries with complex identities all year round!

In fact, during this period, many soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were able to realize that the West was advanced in some fields. For example, weapons such as the Hongyi cannon and the Franco machine gun were actually introduced from the West.

However, even if the Qing Dynasty closed itself off to the country and prolonged its rule, it could not escape its fate in the end.

"Qi Jun is right, only a strong ship and a powerful artillery can defeat a strong ship and a powerful artillery!" Zhao Liangdong highly agreed with the second son-in-law's statement.

"Take back the city wall and drive out the Ming bandits!"

At this time, Zhao Liangdong's third son-in-law, Zhang Yunyi, led hundreds of Qing soldiers to attack and attempt to take back the city wall.

However, mortars had been set up on the city wall, firing deadly shells downwards. The Qing soldiers who attacked quickly suffered heavy casualties.

"What a shame, you are such a coward who can only hide behind the artillery!"
