At the end of September 1779, the autumn wind blew.

Tanggu Port.

Asalai, Sanjice, Harachi, Kang Xiaozi have all arrived here.

The arrival of Truqin reinforcements shocked the Qing army.

Tanggu Port Camp, Ashalai held a combat meeting.

Asalai also felt a little moved. He was originally the son of his ex-Khan Wangbu, and he grew up in Russia since childhood.

He believed in Orthodoxism and attended the school of Russian aristocrats. Although he had half of Turgut's blood, he thought he was Russian since he was a child, obviously he thought he was more Russian than Mongolians.

But everything changed after Qitad married his mother.

He was appointed as brigade general by the Russians at the age of eighteen. It was obvious that the Tsar was trying to win over his family, so he naturally took pride in it.

But he had always had a heart disease, that is, his mother, Wangbu's remains, had been nomadic near Saratov, while his mother Jaen wandered between Moscow and Kazan, fighting with the Tsarist Boyar nobles and the Kazan Tatar Duke, which made him feel shame.

Since Jaen married Lash and Qitad one after another, he felt relieved, especially after marrying Qitad, he seemed to have a deep sense of rebirth.

There is nothing else. Although he thinks he is a Russian, the blood of the Mongols in his bones has deeply influenced him. Even among the Russians, he is a strange existence. The yearning and real integration in his heart are obviously different. Therefore, the more he wants to integrate desperately, the more he is rejected.

Of course, this is just his feeling. In order to stabilize the southern Russian grasslands, the Tsar valued them and their family was obviously serious, just as the Tsar valued the Cherks in the North Caucasus, otherwise they would not have married the Cherks aristocrats for generations.

If he was reluctant to feel relieved when marrying Lash, then marrying Chitard would really make him breathe a sigh of relief.

Qitade, that is a person who is obviously very different from the Mongolians, but looks like a Mongolian.

Whether it is the dress of the wearer or his words and demeanor, he is not a Mongolian look at all, but he cannot be said to be a Westernized European. Asalai has always been a little dazed. How did a serious Mongolian like Qitade become more civilized than a European?

The empire he founded was even more superior to the entire Europe, both in terms of military strength and economic and cultural performance. The "strange" songs that Qitade hummed casually in his spare time are unique in this world.

"What kind of person is this?"

He couldn't help thinking this in his spare time.

Qitad was only ten years older than him, but getting along with him made him feel comfortable that he had never felt before in the tribe or in Moscow, and the same was true after his mother married him, and she knew from the danger that she had given birth to a son and a daughter for him.

Although Asalai was one of Truchen's earliest brigade commanders and had made a shocking move to lead troops deep into the German region to aid Frederick, in the past decade, he was either in office as an ambassador to foreign countries or as a senior official in major provinces. His military work is obviously a bit unfamiliar.

Now he is obviously going deep into the foreign land again, so he has to be careful.

In fact, when he led troops to attack Germany, he had only 5,000 troops, and he had a flintlock rifle afterwards. Now it is completely different. He already has the strength of an army near Tianjin!

And the Qing Dynasty faced was obviously far less powerful than the Russian-Austrian coalition.

When he thought of this, he finally felt relieved.

But there are still problems. There are more than 100,000 troops near Beijing and Tianjin. At this time, the Qing army was still quite strong in combat. If you are not careful, you still have the risk of defeat.

This time, he asked Ahai to guard Hexian Town and brought Zhou Jixun over. He served as the intelligence chief in the Far East for thirteen years and was good at dancing. His understanding and understanding of the Qing Dynasty was far above him.

Therefore, although there were many generals under his command, his eyes were still on Zhou Jixun at the beginning. He knew that neither Marha, Sanjice, Haraqi, nor Zhuang Jiyun could propose the most suitable military strategy in a foreign land that could be completely unfamiliar with.

There is another person next to Zhou Jixun, who is about thirty years old and looks like a Han Chinese from the Qing Dynasty. This person is the key to this war.

His name is Yuan Yingtan, and he is the distant nephew of Yuan Guang, the then prefect of Tianjin!

Yuan Yingtan followed his father to Guangzhou to do business more than ten years ago, but unfortunately became a prisoner of Truqin. Unlike ordinary Qing people, the Yuan family was one of the few merchants in my Qing Dynasty who had "opened their eyes to see the world" very early, and has always existed as an external merchant of the Thirteen ranks.

The status of civil servants in the Qing Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. Although his uncle was a Jinshi and was already the magistrate of Xianghe County at that time, Yuan Yingtan's family did not get much benefit from him.

For the distant Europe, the Yuan family was willing to go there. There were naturally very few Qing merchants like him. At that time, Timur valued not only farmers but also craftsmen, but merchants naturally took voluntary action.

After coming to Europe, the Yuan family returned to their old business and soon became a businessman with great knowledge of Truqin. However, Yuan Yingtan was only fifteen years old at that time. After training at all levels of schools, he was finally selected to study intelligence at Elista Military and Political School.

It was not until Yuan Guang became the prefect of Tianjin that Yuan Yingtan reappeared, and naturally fabricated a lie that was wandering in Nanyang (he did have business in Nanyang). Yuan Guang thought that his family was dead, but when he saw him reappearing, he did not ask too much, so he accepted him.

Therefore, in the past five years, Yuan Yingtan became the intelligence manager of the Truqin Empire in the Jingji area of ​​the Qing Dynasty and the Northeast!

After living in Truqin for many years, when he returned to the Qing Dynasty, he obviously did not have the same intention as Suha. After all, he was a Han Chinese. The reason why his family did business was because his land in Zunhua was occupied by the bannermen.

Seeing Ashalai's gaze, Yuan Yingsan said, "I don't understand military affairs, but what you just mentioned is Fengtai Camp, Tongzhou Camp, Miyun Camp, and Xishan Ruijian Camp are all true."

"And the troops of the governor of Zhili, the Mongolian cavalry, and the Kanto Manchu cavalry are also elite"

"According to my news, Xishan Ruijian Camp is an infantryman. The three camps have a total of 20,000 cavalry, plus the newly arrived 15,000 Mongolian cavalry and 5,000 Manchu Eight Banners cavalry, and 40,000 elite cavalry"

"They are all in the area of ​​Gyeonggi, and they can breathe. Gyeonggi is no better than elsewhere. They will definitely fight for the safety of the capital. If our bureau cannot quickly defeat a cavalry unit, it will be besieged by a large number of cavalrymen. Therefore, the choice of the target of this surprise attack requires careful consideration"

"I have two suggestions, the Governor may consider it"

"First, Guandong has three generals, Shengjing, Jilin and Heilongjiang. In fact, there are very few troops. Each place has only a maximum of three thousand real Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers. They are also the new Solon people who are constantly absorbed from the East China Sea Jurchens and north of Heilongjiang"

(Shengjing, later generations Shenyang)

"This time, General Shengjing brought five thousand elite cavalry, and must have drawn all the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Shengjing, and probably took away some of the troops under the command of Jilin generals."

"That is to say, the entire Shengjing Capital is in a state of emptiness. Now our navy has defeated its navy located in Lushunkou. At this time, the northeast region is sparsely populated. Due to farming and water diversion and irrigation, the situation of the reduction in the water volume of the Hun River does not exist there."

"As far as I know, almost half of the ginseng and Dongzhu in the Northeast region, cherishing the fur are coming from the Hunhe River. My superficial identity is a businessman who went to the Northeast to purchase precious goods. He once measured the water depth of the Hunhe River on the spot. The water depth below Shengjing is at least three meters deep in the water season!"

"The downstream areas below the intersection of Liaohe, Hunhe and Shahe Rivers have reached more than five meters"

Ashalai's eyes lit up, "Do you mean a surprise attack on Shengjing?"

Yuan Ying nodded, "Shengjing is the old nest of Manchus, a place of dragon development. If this place is attacked, the Eight Banners of Manchuria near Tianjin will definitely retreat. At this time, there will be fighter jets. Our navy can easily transport the troops to ports along the Bohai Sea and intercept them at any time."

"Then it is directly aimed at the Eight Banners of Manchuria stationed in Yangliuqing Town. This place is still 70 miles away from Tianjin City, more than 200 miles away from Fengtai Camp and Tongzhou Camp. If they can be won in a short time, the first thing to get the message and come to rescue is the Eight Banners of Mongolia."

"If we can take over the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Eight Banners of Mongolia near Tianjin City, and the Green Camp soldiers under the command of the Governor of Zhili on the west bank of the Haihe River will definitely escape, and then there will be another opportunity for war"

"When the siege of Tianjin City is lifted, the cavalry of the three major camps will definitely be first and later when they come again, and they can defeat them one by one. Once all the cavalry in the capital area are annihilated, the Qing court will have no choice but to honestly discuss with our army."

Ashalai asked again without asking, "How much oil is Shengjing?"

Yuan Yingsan replied: "Obviously not much. In the past, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it must have brought all the gold, silver and money obtained over the years to Beijing. However, there must be a lot of precious gold, silver and jewelry left there, and I don't know the specific number."

Ashalai nodded, "We now have a military force, and it's a waste to place all of them in the Gyeonggi area. Now there are at least two months left before the official arrival of winter. I want to go to the northeast for a while"

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled and said, "With our army's current strength, to attack Beijing City, it is impossible to wipe out all the military forces around it. This is unlikely, and it is even more impossible to attack Beijing City with tall and thick walls."

"But our purpose is not to take over the Qing Dynasty, but to shock them. If our army can easily enter the Northeast or even occupy Shengjing, it can reach any place in the Northeast. This is a shock to the Qing Dynasty, Kang Xiaozi..."

Kang Xiaozi said: "I understand, my brigade will complete this task"

He obviously knew the reason why Ashalai asked him to go. Although Shengjing did not have much wealth, it was still considerable to plunder it. After all, it was the Longxing land of the Qing Dynasty. The financial situation in the jurisdiction of Cebu Island is not very ideal now. It would be great if there was an additional windfall to fill it.
