Chapter 346 Consort Fucha
Hongchang and Princess Shuhe discussed for a long time,
After repeated discussions with a group of important officials in the court, including Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi, it was finally decided to take action against Burma first.
At the meeting, Hongchang said:
"Myanmar has repeatedly violated the borders of our Great Qing Dynasty, and its behavior is intolerable."
This expedition aims not only to completely resolve the border threat,
We must also make it clear to all the tribes of Burma that the majesty of the Qing Dynasty is inviolable.
Nian Gengyao stepped forward first and said:
"Your Majesty, Myanmar has a complex terrain and numerous tribes."
Although there are conflicts between the tribes, there is also a certain degree of cooperation.
We should first send spies to gain a thorough understanding of the military strength of the various tribes in Myanmar.
Political situation and public sentiment are key factors in developing more precise operational plans.
Fu Heng nodded and said:
"General Nian is absolutely right."
Myanmar's terrain is mostly mountainous and forested, which is not conducive to large-scale warfare.
We should take advantage of the terrain and adopt a divide-and-conquer strategy.
The resistance of each tribe was defeated one by one.
Yue Zhongqi added:
"The hot and humid climate in Myanmar is not conducive to our army's long-term operations."
Therefore, we should act swiftly and decisively to avoid getting bogged down in a protracted war.
After listening, Hongchang nodded in agreement:
“What you all say is very true.”
The order was given to immediately dispatch spies to Burma to gather detailed intelligence.
At the same time, he ordered all armies to prepare for the expedition and to complete their assembly within one month.
Soon the army set off, equipped with the most advanced cannons, muskets, and other weapons.
Generals Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi each led an army and marched in a mighty force toward Burma.
Nian Shilan, Shuhe, and others were also among them, carrying specially made medicine.
They wore a moisture-proof lining inside their armor to cope with Myanmar's hot and humid climate.
It can also provide some protection against the invasion of poisonous insects.
Throughout the journey, the army maintained strict discipline and high morale.
The spies continued to send back intelligence from Burma, and the generals adjusted their battle plans based on the intelligence.
When the army arrived at the Myanmar border, it encountered small-scale resistance from Myanmar tribes.
With their advanced weaponry and excellent tactics, the Qing army easily repelled them.
As they ventured deeper into Burma, the terrain became increasingly complex, but the Qing army was well-prepared.
Nian Gengyao commanded his troops to move nimbly through the mountains and forests.
Fu Heng then used his artillery advantage to bombard the strongholds of the Burmese tribes.
Yue Zhongqi's army was responsible for cutting off the enemy's supply lines.
Seeing the Qing army's overwhelming force, the various tribes of Burma began to unite in resistance.
A major battle was about to break out, and the Qing army lined up in battle formation, ready for action.
Nian Shilan, Shuhe, and others had specially trained in martial arts.
The last battle was at sea, which made it difficult for them to maneuver.
This time, on the battlefield in Myanmar, they can finally show their skills.
They stealthily infiltrated behind enemy lines, utilizing their martial arts skills and agility...
To carry out precision strikes against the command systems of Myanmar tribes.
Their objective was to disrupt the enemy's command chain.
Create chaos to pave the way for the army's attack.
Under these circumstances, Myanmar was caught off guard.
Just as Nian Shilan, Shuhe, and others were causing chaos among the enemy forces behind enemy lines,
Bugles sounded in unison at the Qing army's front lines, and Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng,
Generals Yue Zhongqi and his two commanders led their troops like tigers charging towards the Burmese coalition forces.
The sounds of gunfire and shouts of battle were deafening, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.
Myanmar cannot continue to passively take hits like this indefinitely.
Under the fierce attack of the Qing army, the Burmese allied forces...
Although they were initially thrown into chaos, they quickly began to organize a counterattack.
Leveraging their familiarity with the terrain, they waged guerrilla warfare in the mountains and swamps.
They attempted to wear down the Qing army's fighting strength.
Meanwhile, Myanmar has also begun deploying elephants.
The Burmese allied forces' elephants rampaged across the battlefield, causing considerable trouble for the Qing army.
These war elephants were enormous, with thick hides and tough flesh.
Ordinary firearms are unlikely to inflict fatal damage on it.
They rampaged across the battlefield, trampling over Qing soldiers.
They even used their long noses to pick up Qing army weapons and flags.
This greatly hindered the Qing army's offensive.
Upon seeing this, Nian Gengyao immediately issued an order:
"Archers, prepare! Aim for the war elephants' eyes and joints!"
The archers quickly adjusted their positions and aimed their arrows at the war elephants' vital points.
At a command, arrows rained down, striking the war elephants in the eyes and joints.
The war elephants roared in agony.
They started running around uncontrollably, which actually broke the formation of the Burmese coalition forces.
At the same time, Fu Heng commanded the artillery units.
They aimed their cannons at the command post of the Burmese coalition forces.
With a loud bang, the shell hit its target accurately.
The commanders of the Burmese coalition forces suffered heavy casualties, and the entire army was thrown into chaos.
Yue Zhongqi led his cavalry to outflank the enemy and cut off their supply lines.
The Qing cavalry, wielding long spears, galloped forward like streaks of lightning towards the enemy.
The Burmese allied forces were caught in a desperate situation under the three-pronged attack of the Qing army.
Princesses like Nian Shilan and Shuhe were equally formidable on the battlefield.
They wore specially made armor, wielded sharp blades, and moved among the enemy troops.
They were highly skilled in martial arts and agile in their movements.
They specifically targeted commanders of the Burmese coalition forces riding on elephants, quickly taking them down one by one.
Without its commander, the war elephants became even more chaotic, charging recklessly across the battlefield.
The Qing soldiers were well-prepared and took cover from the war elephants' attacks.
At the same time, weapons such as spears and shields were used to effectively restrain and attack the war elephants.
Under the fierce offensive of the Qing army, the Burmese allied forces gradually lost their ability to resist.
The soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, the three generals Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi immediately ordered a pursuit.
The Qing army surged towards the routed Burmese allied forces like a tidal wave, defeating them one by one.
Seeing that all was lost, the tribal chiefs of Myanmar surrendered one after another.
The Qing army achieved an overwhelming victory on the battlefield, and the resistance forces in Burma were completely crushed.
Princesses Shilan and Shuhe, along with others, won everyone's admiration for their valiant performance on the battlefield.
They not only successfully disrupted the enemy's command chain behind enemy lines,
He was still fighting alongside Qing soldiers on the battlefield.
They made a significant contribution to this victory.
The Qing army generals were full of praise for their martial arts skills and courage.
People expressed their respect to them, and the women soldiers gained a place in the army.
After the battle, the Qing army conducted a headcount and reorganization on the battlefield.
Generals Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi reported the battle situation to Hongchang.
Hongchang was greatly pleased to learn of the Qing army's great victory.
The Qing Dynasty People's Daily was immediately ordered to provide a detailed report on this glorious victory.
The heroic deeds of the Qing soldiers were widely praised.
The names of Nian Shilan, Princess Shuhe, and others have become popular topics of conversation.
Their heroic actions inspired countless people.
It also terrified those countries that harbored disloyalty towards the Qing Dynasty.
