Chapter 349 Consort Fucha
The Qing Dynasty possessed advanced weaponry and an elite army honed through numerous battles.
In addition, Hongchang's wise decision
The outstanding command of generals such as Nian Gengyao, Fu Heng, and Yue Zhongqi
And the heroic participation of princesses such as Nian Shilan and Shuhe,
The odds of winning are still quite high, but pride comes before a fall.
Having witnessed many historical battles, Hongchang naturally wouldn't let his soldiers lower their guard.
Before the army set off, Hongchang summoned his generals and solemnly said:
"We must not take this mission lightly."
Although Russia has many internal conflicts, it also has its own advantages.
You must act with caution and not act rashly." The generals accepted the order and expressed their determination to do their utmost.
The Qing Dynasty launched a two-pronged attack, by land and sea, with Nian Gengyao leading the army.
Fu Heng led the navy, while Yue Zhongqi was responsible for logistical support. The three armies worked together, heading straight for Russia.
Although Russia is a vast country with a sparse population, its military strength should not be underestimated, and it has long been on guard in border areas.
The Qing army's attack was like a violent storm, with the army's artillery roaring.
The navy's warships shuttled back and forth, logistical supplies poured in continuously, the three armed forces cooperated seamlessly, and the offensive was fierce.
Nian Gengyao commanded the army, utilizing advanced artillery and muskets.
They launched a fierce bombardment of Russian fortresses and defenses.
Under the Qing army's firepower, the Russian soldiers were forced to retreat in succession, and their defensive lines were breached one by one.
The Qing army's cavalry units moved like lightning behind enemy lines, cutting off enemy supply lines and creating chaos.
Fu Heng's navy also displayed great prowess at sea.
The Qing Dynasty navy's warships were well-equipped and possessed immense firepower.
The Russian navy suffered heavy losses under the Qing army's artillery fire.
The navy's warships not only controlled the sea lanes,
They also blockaded and attacked Russian coastal cities, cutting off Russia's maritime supply lines.
Yue Zhongqi was also responsible for the logistical support work, which was done flawlessly.
The logistics troops continuously transported food, ammunition, and other supplies to the front lines.
He was also responsible for building roads and bridges to ensure the smooth movement of troops and the transport of supplies.
Under the powerful offensive of the Qing army, Russia's resistance was gradually weakened.
The Qing generals flexibly adjusted their tactics based on the battlefield situation, continuously inflicting heavy blows on the enemy.
Princesses Nian Shilan, Shuhe, and others were equally formidable on the battlefield.
They took the lead and fought bravely, making great contributions to the Qing army's victory.
After a series of fierce battles, the Qing army finally broke through the Russian defenses and advanced directly towards its capital.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Russian rulers had no choice but to sue for peace with the Qing army.
The Qing army achieved an overwhelming victory on the battlefield, and the Russian resistance was completely crushed.
The Qing Dynasty thus quickly conquered Russia due to thorough preparation.
It can be said that the cost has been minimized as much as possible.
The fallen and wounded soldiers were all properly cared for.
The wounded received the best treatment, and the fallen soldiers were solemnly mourned and given a grand funeral.
Hongchang had already done so on the advice of Fucha Peiyun
An order was issued to build a magnificent martyrs' cemetery in the capital for these brave soldiers.
In commemoration of their immortal achievements.
At the same time, he also promulgated a series of preferential policies.
Generous compensation and honors will be given to the families of fallen soldiers to ensure their livelihood.
After conquering Russia, the Qing Dynasty's national strength greatly increased.
Its fame spread far and wide, and neighboring countries came to pay tribute.
The territory of the Qing Dynasty was further expanded.
Hongchang announced in court that the Qing Dynasty would effectively govern Russia.
At the same time, provinces were established within Russia to implement the laws and systems of the Qing Dynasty.
Promote local cultural exchange and economic development.
Not long after the war ended
The leader of the Han tribe, Han Ati, led a group of his people to pay homage.
Han Ati also brought his beloved daughter with him on this trip.
Han Xiangjian, the most beautiful woman in the Han tribe
Anyone with eyes to see would immediately know Han's plan.
Han Ati led his people and Han Xiangjian into the main hall.
Everyone cast curious glances their way.
Han Xiangjian slowly walked into the main hall, and many people were attracted by her unique temperament.
Her unique temperament seemed to carry the icy and snowy air of the Han tribe, making her stand out.
Han Xiangjian was wearing a white long dress characteristic of the Han tribe.
The skirt is embroidered with delicate silver patterns, like flowers blooming in the snow.
She wore a plain-colored headscarf.
Only a pair of eyes were visible, clear and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts.
Tiny pearls dangled from the headscarf, shimmering softly in the sunlight.
Fucha Peiyun's gaze was immediately drawn to Han Xiangjian the moment she stepped into the main hall.
She had seen countless beauties in the palace, but Han Xiangjian's beauty was unlike any other.
It was a kind of serene beauty, imbued with the chill of ice and snow.
Like the snow lotus of Tianshan, it is noble and pure, making people dare not easily desecrate it.
However, Fucha Peiyun was very confident in her son.
Hongchang is not like Hongli, that lustful scumbag emperor.
I won't be blinded by the sight of a beautiful woman.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Hongchang, and as expected, she only saw a faint appreciation in him.
Then there was nothing else.
Han Ati, along with his clansmen and Han Xiangjian, knelt respectfully in the center of the hall and said loudly:
"Han tribe leader Han Ati, along with his people and his youngest daughter Han Xiangjian..."
We have come to pay homage to the mighty Qing Dynasty, and wish the Qing Dynasty prosperity and eternal glory!
Hongchang smiled slightly and said gently:
"Chief of the Han tribe, you have come from afar, you must be tired. Please rise and have a seat!"
Han A stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Han Ati witnessed the power of the Qing Dynasty.
They feared that the Qing Dynasty would deal with them as it had with the northern countries and Japan.
The Han tribe was just a small tribe with few members.
However, they could not withstand the ravages of war, so they specially brought their clansmen and daughters to pay homage.
Offering lavish gifts and their most beloved daughter, they voluntarily submitted to the Qing Dynasty.
Han'ati's voice trembled slightly, but his tone was firm:
"Although the Han tribe is small, it is well aware of the majesty and benevolence of the Great Qing."
Han Ati is willing to contribute the strength of his Han tribe to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.
To show their sincerity, the Han tribe is willing to offer up their treasure, the Millennium Cold Jade, which they have guarded for generations.
To aid the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. This jade is the treasure of the Han tribe.
After speaking, Han A gestured to the clansmen behind him.
The tribesmen behind Hanati respectfully presented an ancient wooden box and slowly opened it.
The box exuded a chilling aura, and inside lay a piece of crystal-clear jade, quiet and still.
It emitted a faint blue light, as if formed from millennia-old ice and snow, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
This jade is called the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, a clan treasure guarded by the Han tribe for generations.
Today I offer this to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing, wishing the Great Qing Dynasty prosperity and eternal glory.
Han Ati respectfully presented the wooden box with both hands.
Hongchang smiled slightly and said:
"I am very pleased that the leader of the Han tribe is so sincere."
However, I am not greedy for treasures; what I value is the Han tribe's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.
The Thousand-Year Cold Jade is the treasure of the Cold Tribe, and I cannot take away what belongs to another.
However, since the leader of the Han tribe is so sincere,
"On behalf of the Qing Dynasty, I accept this generous gift and will cherish it dearly in the future."
