"Tianjin Guard urgently reported that Yixing was heading westward from Dagukou. Because of the strong ships and sharp artillery, the key passes along the way were destroyed by artillery... At this time, the troops were approaching Tianjin."

Suddenly, the hall was silent, and after a moment, it was a mess again, like a boiling pot of boiling water.

Tianjin, before the Ming Dynasty, did not have this title.

In the past, there was a name for "Zhigu" in Tianjin. It happened during the Zhenyou period of the Jin Dynasty. Its location was probably at Sanchakou, but it was not a city, but a village, called "Zhigu Village".

Later, during the Yanyou period of Yuan Dynasty, in order to facilitate grain transportation, Zhiguzhai was changed to Haijin Town, and the Dazhigu Salt Transportation Office was established to manage the production and sales of salt.

In other words, before the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin was called Haijin and it was still a town, and it had nothing to do with military affairs.

However, Zhu Di launched the "Jingnan Campaign" and moved south from this to the Grand Canal, seized power and became the foundation.

In order to commemorate this proud battle, Zhu Di changed its name to Tianjin, which means the emperor passed by the ferry. In order to prevent people from going through later generations, Zhu Di set up a guard in Tianjin to prevent future generations from following the example. However, Tianjin is only a guard, not an ordinary prefecture, but just a military pass.

Dagukou is the mouth of the sea, less than a hundred miles from Tianjin Wei, and Tianjin Wei is only more than three hundred miles from Shuntian Prefecture.

The key is that the distance from Dagukou to Tianjin Wei can be directly reached by warships.

In other words, as long as the enemy lands from Tianjin Guard, a marching force will come to the city.

Of course, at that time, Zhu Di did not have such a powerful fleet in the world that could threaten Tianjin Wei and Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, and that was the scorpion shit-the only one.

Otherwise, even if you borrowed Zhu Di's ten courage, you would not dare to decide the capital Shuntian Mansion.

But even so, Zhu Di did not dare to be careless. After establishing the Tianjin Guard, he was still expanding the scale of defense, adding Tianjin Left Guard and Tianjin Right Guard, and building a pier in Haikou, Dagu.

The Qing army went south and the Ming Dynasty perished.

In the past four years, it might be possible to reorganize the surrendered Qing garrisons of Tianjin Wei.

Unfortunately, the Qingtai Dynasty first and the Yixing Dynasty later restrained the huge military and financial resources of the Qing court. Dashun, the remnants of the Daxi Army and the Yongli Dynasty in the south had a chance to breathe, which made the Qing court unable to consolidate the Tianjin Wei.

No wonder, who would have thought that the enemy came from the sea?

But now, the problem is here.

This time, Dorgon originally had a quick decisive battle and drew the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing. At this time, the Eight Banners can be used in the capital, and the other is to surrender the Qingming Army.

This little force is enough to fight. Can you dare to send it to Tianjin?

Don't want the old nest anymore?

The Qing court was really shocked now!

This is like a great man in later generations once said that the fact that a few cannons can conquer a country does exist by erecting a few cannons along the coast.

Yes, the Ming Dynasty also had a major pass in Tianjin Wei and even Dagukou, and many artillery were deployed.

It is still retained at this time, but the problem is that the range is not enough and cannot be compared with the cannons on the new warships of Wusong Navy.

The artillery deployed by the critical pass can indeed block the sea and rivers, but the Wusong Navy can destroy the shore artillery positions one by one outside the range of the shore artillery.

The defenders had no power to fight back.

It was removed one by one along the way until Tianjin Wei.

How did the Qing court respond?

No one is ever worried about Bumubutai's temporary "rebellion" and no longer concerned about Dorgon's handling.

In the face of the life and death of the dynasty, everything can be ignored.

Wu Zheng was afraid that he would have done a lot of help inadvertently.

Jiergalang rushed to the commander's command, shouting anxiously: "How many ships does the Wusong Navy have... Tell me quickly, how many enemies are there? How to deal with the left and right guards of Tianjin?"

"Sir Hui, the enemy has ten large ships, countless small and medium-sized boats... All the key passes of the Dagukou garrison have been destroyed by enemy artillery fire, and all the garrisons fled to Tianjin Guard..."

"Bastard!" Jirgalang, who has always been a good man, slapped the messenger over, but was still unhappy and kicked him again.

Then he turned to Bumubutai, Fulin said: "If one large ship is to carry 800 people, if one ship is to carry 800 people, the number of people who can land is about three or four hundred people, and ten ships is about three or four thousand people... It is impossible to estimate whether the small ship carries soldiers. I think the first thing is to order the Tianjin Guard troops to explore the enemy's strength, and at the same time, mobilize the troops guarding the capital to go to Tianjin to block the enemy!"

"No!" Beiletunqi (son of Prince Zhuang Shurhazi) loudly opposed, "Once the troops in the capital are mobilized, what if there is a mistake... why deal with it?"

This expresses the concerns in most ministers.

Nowadays, many tribes in Shandong, Shanxi and even Mongolia have rebelled. If there is an army that really breaks into the capital and the Qing court with a million troops, it will be a joke.

Although Jirgalang was contradicted by Belletunqi, he was not angry. He knew that Tuqi's words were reasonable. The troops in the capital were already empty, so if he was transferred, he would be unable to respond.

Just when the ministers in the palace were all worried and had no countermeasures, Hong Chengchou suddenly said, "Why... draw the new army to reinforce Tianjin Wei?"

This instantly made the ministers' faces cheered up, and the court had invested millions of taels of silver in a new army under the financial tightening situation. It was time to do its best.

But these words made the generals of Dorgon's faction, such as Tunqi, frown.

They were scolding Hong Chengchou's old fox in their hearts, as they were too cunning.

The New Army Musket Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion have been sent out to reinforce Ajige to suppress the rebellion and to wipe out the Jiaodong rebellion from the south.

The fools could understand that if this strategy was implemented, the one who was drawn back must be the Lancao Battalion. One reason was that the Lancao Battalion was a cavalry and had a fast return to the aid. The Jiaodong Punishment was progressing smoothly. The Lancao Battalion was already squeezed in the areas of Ninghaizhou, Mo County and Haiyang County at Qishou.

But the commander of the Gun Cavalry Camp is Qian Qiaogong, Jiergalang's grandson-in-law, who is the emperor's lineage.

If the Tianjin Wei makes great contributions this time, and Dorgon's war in front fails and the loss of troops and generals, the power of the emperor's lineage will undoubtedly rise sharply.

Fulin didn't think so much. He considered the fundamental interests of the Qing court. He shouted: "I passed my order and urgently summoned Qian Qiaogong's Gun Cavalry to reinforce Tianjin Wei. As for the chaos in Jiaodong, the people in Jiaodong... they can be dealt with with with all their powers!"

Jirgalang, Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and other ministers quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "The emperor is wise!"

Dorgon's generals couldn't help but look at each other. They looked at Bumubutai anxiously, hoping that the Empress Dowager would say something fair.

Unexpectedly, Bumubutai nodded in agreement, "The Regent was unable to return to the aid at this time, and the court could only take expedient measures. Compared with the chaos in the Jiaodong people, the military situation of Tianjin Guards is more urgent... Just do as the emperor wants!"

"I will obey the order!"
