When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

An army of two hundred thousand men marched majestically into John Bull's territory.

Li Jing held two maps in his hands, one was drawn with great effort by a map maker, and the other was an accurate topographic map brought by Zhu Ming from the modern world.

He raised his arm and determined the direction of travel accurately through the hands on his watch.

At this moment, Li Jing showed his calmness and decisiveness as an outstanding general.

He knew very well that this raid was of great significance. If he could successfully defeat the enemy, he would be able to firmly control this place.

In this way, they not only have a forward base from which they can launch attacks on the enemy at any time, but they can also retreat to this place for defense when necessary.

Moreover, this place is very close to John Bull's capital, like a sharp thorn, deeply piercing the opponent's chest.

As long as they want, they can launch a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.

Therefore, this raid is crucial to them and they must go all out to achieve victory.

"Qin Qiong, listen to my orders. You are responsible for keeping an eye on this direction. If there are any incoming troops, you must stop them here!"

"General Huo, you will be responsible for guarding the left side!"

"General Lan Yu, the right side is now in your hands!"

The situation was unclear, so after Li Jing came over, he immediately arranged a battle plan.

Make sure all support routes are well defended.

Lead the army towards the coast.

Brighton's defender, Louis, had a serious expression.

There are hundreds of warships in the sea watching closely, so he dare not relax at all.

I originally thought that reinforcements would arrive quickly.

It turned out that the first ones to arrive were Dalong’s army!

Louis was stunned by the overwhelming army.

In the past, I had only participated in major battles involving tens of thousands of people.

Judging from the posture of the opposite side, there are at least 100,000 people!

The key point is that Louis had no idea how the other party appeared behind him.

"Fuck! I was attacked from both sides in my own territory. What is the cabinet doing? They didn't even pass on such important news!"

But Louis was not worried because the area was very close and the coastal defense force here was strong.

No matter how many people there are, as long as we are willing to spend shells, we can defend the rear regardless of the attack from the sea.

Moreover, the British army's equipment was the best in the world, which also gave Louis a great deal of confidence.

"General Heaton, you lead 10,000 people to stop the enemy behind us. We don't need to defeat them, as long as we can hold them off for three days. Within three days, reinforcements will surely arrive!"

"Your Majesty, take your orders!"

Heaton was full of vigor and led 10,000 British troops to stop them.

Seeing hundreds of cannons on the opposite side aimed at where I was, my scalp tingled.

Moreover, he actually set up a cannon beyond his own range!

Heaton had a bad feeling in his heart!
"boom!"

Countless black spots flew in the sky.

Fall on the surrounding positions.

Deal a huge wave of damage!
The confident Heaton was stunned.

It was said that the British Army's equipment was invincible, but why did it feel like the enemy was John Bull's regular army, and we were just a ragtag army from a small country!

"The enemy's cannons are powerful, but their guns may not be. Everyone, follow me!"

Li Jing looked at the charging British army with a sneer on his face.

Since the Opium War.

Li Jing also worked hard to catch up on some things of this era.

Especially the opponent John Bull who has already started the war.

Know John Bull's guns very well.

Renswick-style muzzle-loading smoothbore percussion rifle. The ignition device is a percussion bolt that hits the primer, the gun body is 1.42 meters long, the caliber is 17.5 mm, the projectile weighs 53 grams, the range is about 300 meters, and the rate of fire is 3 to 4 rounds per minute.

The Luoyang-made rifle in his hand has a similar range, but its firing rate is twice that of the opponent.

Not afraid at all!

"The enemy doesn't take our Yanhuang Army seriously at all. This is even better. Now it's time for everyone to reap the rewards of their military exploits!"

An hour passed.

Heaton came back in disgrace.

Louis was shocked: "Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to stop the enemy? Do you want to disobey orders?"

"Report to the general, the enemy's firepower is too strong, and the casualties are heavy. They have broken through the defense line and are heading here!"

"It's only been an hour, and you're already saying that the enemy has broken through our defense line. Do you know the consequences of lying about military intelligence?" Louis shouted angrily.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, causing the command post to shake slightly.

Louis looked outside in shock.

We can already see that the enemy troops in the distance are dispersing and rushing towards here.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Louis roared: "Quick, blow up all the cannons here, and don't leave any for the enemy!"

The coastal defense cannons here are indeed valuable, but they have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

When the warships of our own country arrive, it will definitely be a fatal threat!

Green smoke rises.

Zhu Di picked up the telescope.

See the familiar flag equipment.

lol.

"Well, you are worthy of being Li Jing, the master of Hongwu Lao Si. His reputation is well-deserved. Pass the order down, take the coast ahead, and those who need it can dock at any time for supplies."

Brighton is lost!

This news shocked John Bull all over the country.

Even the Queen could no longer maintain her former confidence and composure.

"Why is the dragon so powerful?"

This is the question in everyone's mind and the question of the entire country.

The leader's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He roared angrily, "Are all the intelligence personnel a bunch of good-for-nothings? Is this what you call getting information? Outdated warships, outdated equipment, and low combat effectiveness? I seriously doubt that this so-called intelligence of yours is actually describing us!"

"Cannons and muskets that don't need to be loaded from the front have a firing rate far exceeding our current equipment. There are also steam-powered ironclad ships with mysterious marching trajectories. The powerful John Bull is like a baby, with no ability to stop him. If John Bull is defeated, all intelligence personnel will be sinners!"

The queen frowned and asked, "What should we do now, war or peace?"

The war faction naturally refused to seek peace.

"No one can defeat John Bull, not even Dalong. Dalong is fighting thousands of miles away from home, and logistics is their biggest weakness. Yanhuang has a strategy of clearing the walls and fields, and we can do the same, destroying everything and leaving them without any food or water. The daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is huge, and it won't be long before they can't hold on!"

"I also agree that we should continue the fight. Otherwise, John Bull's international status will plummet, and our colonies around the world will face crises!"

"Do you also want John Bull to become a colony?" The peacemakers also had their own opinions.

"This war was initiated by us. No matter how nice it sounds, it was essentially because of opium. I suggest that the merchants who sold opium be handed over to Dalong for disposal. Yanhuang has always been more concerned about face. Just look at their history and you will know that as long as you lower your posture, they are still easy to talk to!"

"I have said it before, opium is very harmful to people, and I do not support this war. Over the years, we have earned a lot of money from Yanhuang through opium. We can take out a part of it as compensation. I think if we get benefits, the other side will withdraw the troops!"

"In fact, John Bull and Dalong are far apart, and there is not much conflict of interest. They can definitely become partners."

The two sides quarreled endlessly and neither could convince the other!

However, the dragons have already stepped on John Bull.

The Queen will definitely send someone to negotiate!
On the one hand, see if the problem can be solved peacefully, and on the other hand, delay a little more time. After all, the consumption of the big dragon in a day is also very shocking!

As a representative of John Bull, Pottinger came to Brighton occupied by Li Jing.

Zhu Di glanced at the other person and asked, "Who is coming?"

"John Bull, Foreign Minister Pottinger!"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly. Historically, it was the other party who signed the Treaty of Nanjing.

Pottinger had been engaged in colonial aggression in White Elephant for nearly 1803 years since 40 and had a relatively good understanding of Asia.

He had been to the Qing Dynasty many times. In his impression, the Central Plains dynasty had already declined. Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to be a match for John Bull, let alone to reach John Bull's homeland.

On the contrary, it would be normal for John Bull to attack the Central Plains!

However, things have already happened, and Pu Dingcha can only negotiate with Dalong based on his understanding of the Qing Dynasty.

"As a celestial being, why did Dalong come all the way to invade our John Bull?"

Zhu Di was furious: "Watch your words. It was you, John Bull, who dumped opium on our Dalong and first declared war. We, Dalong, are just fighting back normally. How can you say it is an invasion?"

Pu Dingcha was stunned for a moment: "But now you are burning, killing and looting in our John Bull!"

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We are only hunting down those merchants who sell opium to Dalong. We didn't know until we checked. We found out that so many of you, John Bull, are engaged in the opium industry. If we don't say tens of millions, it must be millions. It will definitely cause a big commotion if we catch them!"

Pu Dingcha cursed in his heart, tens of millions? It is not certain whether John Bull has such a person.

He forced a smile and said, "General, we only sold opium to the Qing Dynasty before. Since the establishment of Dalong, we, John Bull, have never sold opium to Dalong. I hope the general can understand this!"

"Little Britain is willing to take responsibility for this matter!" Zhu Di said with a sneer.

"What do you mean, General?"

Zhu Di was full of the aura of an iron-blooded emperor: "After we slaughter John Bull, this place will be called Little Britain from now on. I heard that they are willing to take responsibility! If I can't reach an agreement with you, then I will talk to Little Britain!"

The threat in the message made Pu Dingcha's face turn pale, but he was not in an advantageous position now.

"General, please calm down. How about this? We will help you capture the criminals selling opium and hand them over to Dalong for punishment. Dalong will withdraw his troops, release the captured Royal Navy, and return the captured warships. How about this?"

"Ahem!" Zhu Di was choked and looked at the other party in disbelief. "Are you a moron? People who don't know would think that the British army has won a great victory. Someone, drag him out and give him 20 lashes to wake him up!"

The Dalong Navy is patrolling around.

A huge ship was spotted approaching slowly.

Stop it immediately!

"Who are you? This is a cargo ship of the East India Company. How dare you stop it?" A fat man in Western clothes shouted at the bow!

Young general Zuo Zongtang shouted with a megaphone in his hand: "What kind of language are you speaking? Is there anyone who can speak Chinese? If not, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, he ordered the gunner to aim the cannon at the enemy.

He saw dozens of cannons pointed at him.

The captain of the cargo ship shouted hurriedly.

I realized that the person on the other end didn’t understand me, so I looked at his skin color, which was yellow.

He hurriedly asked on the boat: "Is there anyone who understands Chinese? Hurry up and stand up. The people on the other side are yellow people, they must be able to understand Chinese!"

"Captain, I have been in the Qing Dynasty for some time. I can understand Chinese and even speak a few simple sentences." A crew member stood up and said.

"Okay, okay, quickly ask who the other person is. Be polite and don't make him unhappy!" the captain reminded.

"I am from the Third Division of the Dalong Navy. Stop now and be inspected!"

The captain was stunned. This is John Bull's waters. Why is the Dalong Navy inspecting here? Are the two sides conducting an exercise?
"Tell them that we are an inspection-exempt company!"

Zuo Zongtang was stunned for a moment. Whether you are exempt from inspection or not is your business, John Bull. Can't you see clearly where the military flag is?

"This is the last time I'm notifying you. Stop the ship immediately for inspection, or we'll open fire!"

Seeing the enemy warships eyeing them covetously, the captain had no choice but to stop and start to make friends.

Zuo Zongtang chuckled and said, "East India Company, right? Don't worry, it's just a normal inspection."

When I came here, I was told that the East India Company was not an ordinary company. It had dumped a lot of opium into the Qing Dynasty, so we must take special care of them when we encounter them.

He picked up the intercom and said, "Attention, the East India Company's cargo ship is coming, please send a few more teams over."

The captain was stunned. What kind of inspection required hundreds of people, and they were all armed? He felt something was wrong.

Ten minutes later, the soldier came running over to report: "General, we found a large amount of contraband opium!"

Zuo Zongtang's face changed drastically: "Opium? How dare you transport opium? Seize the ship and take away all the crew members!"

"General, we are the East India Company, managed by John Bull. I'm afraid we are not under the jurisdiction of your Dalong." The captain asked with a group of crew members.

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain fell to the ground.

"Damn it, don't you understand what I'm saying? If you have any more questions, I'll send you to ask your captain!"

Wu De Cheng Yaojin said: "In the face of this situation, we must not be timid. They are transporting drugs, and justice is on our side!"

The captain fell to the ground, which greatly shocked all the crew members and made them obey the instructions obediently.

After dealing with all the contraband, Zhu Ming came onto the boat.

He said with regret: "Yes, there were a lot of things on the ship, but it was accidentally sunk by the Royal Navy!"

Wu De Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Yes, the British army is really abominable. They even attack their own people!"

Zhu Ming agreed very much and added: "All cargoes of any merchant ship that appears here will be seized!"

The situation in which the Great Dragon Fleet besieged John Bull and the Army stepped onto John Bull's territory to show off its military might shocked the whole world!

No one could have imagined that there would be such a day for the powerful John Bull!
The Royal Navy scattered around the world rushed back to provide support.

After Zhu Di received the news, he was not afraid at all, and even a little excited: "It's finally here!"

Army
After Wude Li Jing led the Yanhuang Army to occupy Brighton.

Start building new fortifications immediately.

John Bull dispatched a large number of British troops.

Launch a crazy attack!
Zhu Ming asked Li Jing if he needed anything.

Li Jing looked at the British army's deployment and couldn't help saying: "It's a pity that any one of the 18 rebel kings could be their teacher in terms of formation. In addition to the gap in weapons and equipment, fighting them is not as interesting as fighting the Turks!"

In just a few days, British troops from John Bull came in wave after wave like a tide.

They were aggressive and attempted to recapture Brighton and drive Li Jing and others out of John Bull.

Li Jing remained calm, confident and fearless, and successfully repelled the enemy's fierce attacks time and time again.

And the victory is constantly expanding. All the surrounding coastal areas have been conquered by Li Jing, and there are already signs of being surrounded!

The British army is already a little bit terrified of Li! (End of this chapter)
