Chapter 91
: I was confused about winning, I was confused about losing, I was confused about it! (I just wanted to read it, I was just a breath away!)
The Am River Camp, Emperor Daoguang’s Headquarters.
Emperor Daoguang of Dajin was walking around in his study, but he was walking around in circles. The desk was covered with a map of Afghanistan (including Peshawar), a book of open "Kongming God's Calculation", a few copper coins for divination, and a star map. There were also a few mutton buns that had been cold early, a few pieces of cheese and a bowl of mutton soup frozen in the surface.
Emperor Daoguang has been restless since yesterday morning when he witnessed the twelve airships flying south, until now. During this period, he even calculated his own robbery, used copper coins to occupy the divination, and even went out to observe the celestial phenomena at night, trying to understand the mystery. Unfortunately, his "algorithm" is not so good, and it is useless. He can only wait anxiously for the result of the Peshawar airborne battle.
In fact, the Ming army members who stayed in the airship field had already known the result of the Battle of Peshawar - they had radio stations to contact the airships, and could even send the news back to Beijing through the radio station. So now all the important officials of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing knew the result of the Battle of Peshawar!
But Emperor Daoguang was still in the dark. Although he had received a secret report and knew that there was a black technology like radio station, he could not go to ask for such secrets with the Ming Dynasty! And even if he inquired, he would definitely not say it.
So he could only worry in the study alone.
Just when I was anxious, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then I heard the voice of Eunuch Bai, whom Emperor Daoguang trusted the most: "Prince, Heshen, Mu Zhanga, Sai Shanga, please see you!"
Here comes!
Emperor Daoguang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his fat face, which had been lost a lot, was full of unconcealed tension.
The rise and fall of the Great Jin Dynasty, this battle!
Emperor Daoguang took a few deep breaths before shouting: "Xuan!"
Then Daoguang heard the eunuch Bai guarding outside say, "Three central halls, please come in."
Then he saw that the door of the study was pushed open. Heshen, Mu Zhanga, and Sai Shanga, the three ministers of Tianji who followed the army followed Eunuch Bai in one after another. Daoguang looked at the faces of the three ministers of Tianji and felt very happy.
Because the three of them looked surprised, not both surprised and happy, but were so surprised that they seemed to be very happy. No, they should be very happy!
"Your Majesty! Win!"
"Emperor! Great victory!"
"Your Majesty, God bless Dajin!"
Sure enough, the three ministers of Tianji started to announce good news to Emperor Daoguang as soon as they knelt down. The sound of the good news was trembling! They were all "Tik Tok", how big should this be?
"Hurry, tell me, how did Wu Chuanzhen fight?"
Daoguang didn't let them say anything auspicious, and what other auspicious words could compare to the front line?
"Emperor," Heshen said, "The airship that sent King Pingxi to Peshawar has returned. The Peshawar castle was defeated by King Pingxi!"
Mu Zhanga added: "Emperor, King Pingxi also captured a British major general, named Elsfinton, who was also put in an airship and brought back. It is said that this major general is also the commander of the British in Peshawar!"
"Blessed by our ancestors." Daoguang cried with joy!
The enemy commanders have been captured, and this victory must be a must!
But the good things are not over yet!
"Emperor, there's more!" Saishana also cried, "Master, King Pingxi is too fierce this time. The divine weapons are so powerful that they kill the Indian soldiers in Peshawar. They really dare not resist the heavenly soldiers, so they had to tie up their British commander and white officers to surrender. So now, in addition to our more than 200 warriors, there are hundreds of surrendered soldiers in Peshawar City. In addition, Peshawar Castle is also the old logistics camp of the British and Indian army. The underground warehouse is full of firearms, ammunition, and four six-inch howitzers!"
The British army in Peshawar was really lost!
Not only did the headquarters make a spoonful of stews, their four six-inch howitzers didn't even have a chance to use them, and they would become a spoil in the warehouse!
Emperor Daoguang was so happy that he immediately ordered: "Hurry, go and bring that Elsfinton. I'm going to ask the question myself. Is Zhuge Daozi back?"
"I'm back, probably resting," Heshen said, "He and his airship soldiers are exhausted."
"Okay, when he has enough rest, I will invite him to my place for a celebration banquet!" Daoguang said with a smile, "I want to drink three hundred cups with him!"
"Yeah!"
Kolkata, the Governor's Office of the East India Company.
In Sir Armesd's private living room, the depressed air was about to solidify - how much pressure is this!
Everyone, including Sir Armesd, was stunned, and everyone was holding a telegram and watching it over and over again.
Of course, this telegram copy was not sent by Major General Elsfinton's headquarters, because the telegram and telephone lines of his headquarters were cut. So when Peshawar was raided by the Great Golden Navy airborne, Elsfinton had no way to contact the battalions stationed on the periphery. However, those British and Indian infantry battalions still found something wrong!
There were airships in the sky, explosions on the ground, and many frightened Peshawar residents ran out, and of course the troops guarding the outside of Peshawar City knew something was wrong.
So they reported to Kabul and Kolkata while crossing the level, and organizing troops to counterattack Peshawar City.
Sir Amesed, who received the news, immediately asked Nelson, the commander of the Indian Fleet, Hugh Goff, the acting commander of the East Indian Army, and Elliot, the "instructor of the London ", to discuss countermeasures.
After seeing the urgent telegram from the defenders of Mardan City east of Peshawar, these people were all surprised and could not speak.
Because this matter is really exaggerating!
The airship airborne landed on the ground and launched a raid on the British headquarters in Peshawar - this is an air attack!
The Great Jin Kingdom could do such a thing? The Great Jin Kingdom had no airships at all, and everyone knew that the best airships in the world are the Ming Dynasty - they invented the hot air balloons and airships! The Zhuge family of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be particularly persistent in the "Flying Sky" thing, willing to spend money, and they also had money to spend, and they also knew technology.
With their efforts, the Ming Dynasty's airships were more than the airships of other countries in the world, and they were also made very large, flew faster and had stronger reliability. If anyone in this world could use airships to perform air assault missions, then only the Ming Dynasty.
This is clearly the Ming Dynasty took action. The Ming Dynasty was not only the black hand behind Dajin, but also directly provided the airship force!
Sir Armesh finally broke his silence at this time, and he heard him coughing: "Everyone, what do you think and suggest?"
"Governor," said Major General Goff, the acting commander of the East India Company Army. "We must recover Peshawar as soon as possible, otherwise the army deep into Afghanistan will face the problem of logistics supply. Moreover, the Sikhs and Afghans may also turn to Daikin."
George Elliot frowned and said with a pale face: "These airships must be from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty not only supported the Dajin behind the scenes, but also directly participated in the attack on Peshawar. This is an invasion of the British Empire! The British Empire must retaliate! I suggest that the Strait of Malacca be blocked immediately and all trade exchanges between India and the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty!"
Armesd looked at Count Nelson, "Earl, what do you think?"
Earl Nelson just shook his head: "What if the Ming Navy's airship hung a bomb to bomb the squadron berthed in Singapore, and then descended the infantry to attack the Singapore Fortress?"
As soon as he said this, the air in the living room solidified again, and everyone frowned and could not say anything. Because they all knew that the warships and fortresses of the British Empire could not deal with the enemies from the air!
The Ming Empire happened to have the ability to attack the British Royal Navy from the air!
While the people in the room were anxious, the door of the living room was suddenly knocked. Then, a secretary of Baron Amesid, holding a telegram in his hand, reported in a trembling voice: "Governor General, Mardan's telegram. The troops fighting against Peshawar were defeated! They were hit by the enemy's heavy artillery bombardment and the impact of the cavalry, and suffered heavy losses!"
