The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 228

The soldiers of the Restoration Army wanted to leave after announcing their orders.

A businessman bravely stood up and asked.

"Master Wang...won't Master Wang reward you?"

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he couldn't help but want to slap himself.

How cheap!

Obviously the other party didn't say anything, isn't he in a rush to pay?

The soldiers of the Restoration Army stopped, looked at the businessman who spoke with a disdainful look, and said unceremoniously.

"My recovery army is the master of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Since you are a master of the king, you should naturally have the bearing of a master of the king. How can you do something like plundering the people's wealth and causing disaster to the local people?"

The businessman was embarrassed by the eyes of the soldiers of the Restoration Army, shrank his neck, and retreated into the crowd.

The reason why Zhu Hongyu didn't choose to blackmail these merchants!
One was because of the military discipline of the Restoration Army, he was not allowed to do such a thing, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face.

The second reason is that Zhu Hongyu is still planning to open a commercial port in Hong Kong.

If you want to do business, you can't do without these businessmen in front of you.

If I try to grab these merchants quickly today, it will not be so easy for Hong Kong's commercial port to open up.

Zhu Hongyu was on the fortress, watching the Ming army launch the final offensive on the Macau Fortress, making preparations.

Zheng Chenggong suggested beside him.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo, rather than building Hong Kong into a combination of a fortress and a commercial port, it is better to separate the military fortress and the commercial port."

"Hong Kong is simply a military fortress, while Macau can continue to be used as a commercial port according to the old system."

"If you put the commercial port and the military fortress together, and wait until the battle is together, it will be easy to have accidents!"

Zheng Chenggong's suggestion made Zhu Hongyu fall into deep thought.

Is what Zheng Chenggong said makes sense?
The answer is yes!

It is almost a consensus that when the Manchus attacked the city, they used more spies.

There were so many strong cities in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If the Manchu Qing didn't use traitors to destroy the cities, they probably wouldn't be able to beat Liaodong with their population.

If Zhu Hongyu put the military fortress and the commercial port together, it would not take long before the military fortress would be infiltrated into a sieve.

After thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"What Lao Taishan said is reasonable, let's do it accordingly!"

Zhu Hongyu now puts it better to say that he is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, he is actually just a warlord leader with just over [-] troops.

He dare not say anything else, but he still has the advantage of being persuaded.

The two began to discuss the construction of the fortress in Hong Kong and the issue of the garrison.

"If you build a western-style bastion, with [-] troops stationed, you should be able to withstand the attack of [-] to [-] Qing troops!"

Zhu Hongyu said.

Zheng Chenggong asked again.

"The only problem is that the construction period of the western-style bastion is too long."

Neither Zhu Hongyu nor Zheng Chenggong mentioned the cost issue.

You get what you pay for, and in the military, you really can't save at all!

"If cement is used, it should be able to speed up the construction period!"

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Gu ordered an urgent dispatch of a batch of cement from Luzon to build the fortress!!"

"For the garrison, we can use [-]% of the veterans and [-]% of the recruits."

"Training troops through fortress defense battles, the effect should not be bad!"

A soldier can only be called a veteran if he has actually been on the battlefield and seen blood.

However, if a large number of recruits were to be taken to fight in the field, the number of casualties would probably be very ugly!

Zhu Hongyu's idea is that after the recruits recruited in Qiongzhou complete all the recruit training, they will be dragged to the fortress in Hong Kong to fight the Qing army to see blood.

Try the Qing army's weight across the city wall!

In this process, let recruits complete the transition from recruits to veterans.

Zheng Chenggong also nodded in agreement, but also expressed envy.

Inadvertently, he was given to Versailles by Zhu Hongyu again!

Zhu Hongyu can mobilize troops at will, and even form a new formation by mixing veterans and recruits.

But he can't!
Don't look at the Guangfu Army now has less than [-] people, but Zhu Hongyu of these [-] people can use them at will.

The combat power that can be displayed on the battlefield is absolutely unimaginable!

And although Zheng Chenggong had more troops than Zhu Hongyu, except for his personal guards and the Iron Man Army, there were only a few elite troops.

The other parts of the army are really not in his hands.

The stubborn disease that soldiers will have is very terrible!
While the two were discussing, the Ming army on the other side had already made final preparations to attack the city wall of Macau.

There are heavy siege artillery, field artillery, and large-caliber curved mortars for attacking fortresses.

The range of the mortar gun is not very good, and the accuracy is also poor, but it has an advantage, that is, it can shoot a curved trajectory!

I dare not say anything else, but it is very convenient to use to attack the city.

You can hit the shells directly to the top of the city!

……

Humen Fort!

As the sky brightened, the Qing army at the Humen Fort finally saw clearly the invading fleet on the sea.

Looking at the British cross flag hoisted by the fleet, the Qing army was stunned.

"Whose flag is this? Did the pirates change their flag?"

Huang Zhongyuan held a telescope bought from the Portuguese in his hand, looking at the Ming army fleet on the sea.

asked very curiously!

A soldier spoke up.

"General, look at it, why does it look like a foreign flag?"

It can be heard that Huang Zhongyuan's personal soldier is from the Central Plains.

Huang Zhongyuan frowned and asked in confusion.

"what is the problem?"

"Why did Yang Yi come to attack my Qing Dynasty? Did he collude with pirates?"

"This pirate is really shameless. If he can't beat me, Qing Dynasty, he will collude with Yangyi. How is it different from that Shi Jingtang?"

Many Qing soldiers agreed.

At this time, the artillery battle in Humen temporarily stopped, and neither the Ming and Qing sides continued to fire.

The Qing army sent people to ask for help, but the Ming army did not continue to attack.

The order Ma Xin received was only to bombard Humen to attract the attention of the Qing army and create an opportunity for the Ming army to take Macau.

That's it!

If he is playing for real, he really wants to take down Humen.

It's not just shelling, but while the shelling fire is suppressing the Humen Fort, troops will be sent to land to grab the beach.

If you want to capture a fort, a land attack is more reliable than a simple bombardment!

……

In front of the city wall of Macau, the Ming army was ready to attack.

Artillery positions are deployed!

The large-caliber mortars were sent to a short distance outside the city wall through the zig-zag trenches, and they were already preparing to fire.

This is the method Zhu Hongyu prepared to conquer a bastion head-on!

Heavy artillery, field artillery groups suppress the firepower of the bastion at a long distance!
Large-caliber siege mortars were transported down the city through zigzag trenches, and fired bullets with curved trajectory, causing mass destruction to the vital forces at the top of the city.

The infantry also approached the bastion through the zigzag trench, completed the assembly of troops in the trench in front of the bastion, and finally launched a frontal assault!

Very typical Vauban siege method!

It is also the best way to attack a bastion head-on at present!

……

Today is the fourth update. I went out during the day and failed to code the fifth update.
