The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 247 Victory!

If you want to leave Macau, you can't avoid the blockade of Fortress!

On the surface of the sea, there are still fleets of the Ming army swimming!

If he dared to run, the Ming army would dare to sink him!
The merchants on the pier watched the people from the Taxation Department of the Liberation Army keep coming in and out, and all of them looked unhappy.

They are really reluctant to pay taxes!
For the matter of tax resistance, there are only dares and dares, there is no thinking or not!

At this moment, a sentry cavalry suddenly rushed from the north.

The sentries of the Restoration Army passed by on horseback, shouting their victory along the street.

"Great victory!"

"Our Liberation Army achieved a great victory in Tanzhou Town!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo killed the Qing court's father, Shang Zhixin, the son of Prince Pingnan, and wiped out nearly [-] people in the Eight Banners of the Han army in the first battle!"

"Show me the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Great victory! Great victory! His Royal Highness Jianguo killed Shang Zhixin and wiped out nearly ten thousand Eight Banners of the Han army!"

"..."

Wherever the sentry cavalry reported their victory, bursts of cheers resounded.

A large number of people shouted excitedly, clamored, hugged and cheered continuously.

The people behaved like this, not necessarily because they were happy for Daming's victory.

More happy for Shang Zhixin's death and the heavy loss of Pingnan Palace!
Shang Kexi slaughtered Guangzhou, moved to the forbidden sea, and killed countless people!
In the whole of Guangdong, it can be said that monks are happy to have a death feud!
Shang Kexi's son died, and the Pingnan Prince's army suffered heavy losses, how could they be unhappy?

But for those in the Liberation Army system, it was very exciting.

This victory in Tanzhou Town can be said to be the first brilliant victory of the Ming army on land since Zheng Chenggong's defeat of Nanjing.

The Eight Banners of the Han Army with nearly 7000 people were wiped out. Such a battle was enough to shake the Qing court!

After all, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, that is also the Eight Banners!
How can the recovery army not cheer up? !

They won, and under the leadership of His Highness Jian Guo, they won again!

"Long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

The mountain's cry resounded throughout Macau.

"Drive out the Tartars and restore our lands and mountains!"

"Long live Daming!"

"..."

Many ordinary people who were just gloating at the Pingnan Palace were also aroused and began to carnival with the soldiers and officials in the recovery army system.

Shang Jinren stood in the crowd, his face was also full of joy.

He is now considered an official in the recovery army system, so he naturally hopes that the recovery army will get better and better.

The news of the good news quickly spread throughout Macau, and then spread in all directions as if it had grown wings.

……

Tanzhou Town!
The army of the Restoration Army entered Tanzhou Town and began to repair.

Let's start with a summary of the detailed casualty data and hand it over to Zhu Hongyu's desk.

In the Battle of Tanzhou Town, although the Restoration Army won a big victory and wiped out more than 7000 Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army, they also suffered a lot of casualties.

The battle to attack Xiangshan, the blocking battle in Tanzhou Town, and the decisive battle outside Tanzhou Town, the casualties of the Liberation Army in these battles were quite a lot.

During the attack on Xiangshan, nearly 50 people were killed or injured by the Liberation Army.

This is when the Qing army did not have many troops stationed in Xiangshan and was unprepared.

In the offensive and defensive battle of Tanzhou Town, the Qing army attacked several times before and after, and the Guangfu army desperately blocked it, causing nearly 200 casualties!
In a field battle outside Tanzhou Town, the casualties of the Liberation Army directly broke through a thousand, reaching an astonishing [-] or so!

Among them, an astonishing [-]% to [-]% were killed in battle, and countless people were seriously injured or even disabled.

The Qing army in this era is still very powerful in combat effectiveness, and its fighting will is also tenacious enough.

The victory of the Guangfu Army lies in physical strength!
Other aspects really do not necessarily have much advantage!
Looking at the shocking casualty data, the corners of Zhu Hongyu's mouth couldn't help twitching.

But in terms of rewards and pensions, Zhu Hongyu has always been generous, and personally ordered the Fifth Army Commander's Office to implement it as soon as possible.

Don't let the soldiers shed blood and tears!
Then there is the aspect of capture and battle results!
In this battle, the Guangfu army beheaded more than [-] people from the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Han armies, and captured more than [-] prisoners of war.

It greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army, and restored the situation that had been out of control since Zheng Chenggong's defeat in Nanjing.

Although Li Dingguo's bloody battle at Mopanshan also caused heavy damage to Wu Sangui's troops, it was the Qing court that won in the end.

It cannot restore the occupation that has been defeated like a mountain!

However, in the battle of Tanzhou Town, the Ming army did win the victory simply and neatly.

Killed a prince of the Qing court!

It must be able to inspire the anti-Qing martyrs on the mainland and make them firm in their determination.

In terms of seizures, there are a number of armor and weapons, dozens of large and small artillery pieces, and a number of gunpowder shells.

But what really moved Zhu Hongyu's heart was the nearly thousand horses captured by the Liberation Army in this battle.

Zhu Hongyu doesn't think much of weapons, armor, artillery and gunpowder!

Because of these things, the Liberation Army can mass-produce them themselves!
However, the Liberation Army did not have a stable source of war horses.

Although Zhu Hongyu has already built a horse farm in Luzon, he is planning to buy horses at high prices from Western businessmen and smuggle southwest horses and Mongolian horses from the mainland.

Use western stallions and native horses to crossbreed and domesticate, improve horse breeds, and cultivate excellent war horses!

But this is definitely not something that can be done overnight!

Horse breed improvement and large-scale breeding is a systematic project, which requires a lot of investment and takes a long time.

In a short period of time, the Liberation Army did not have a stable source of horses.

If you want to organize a cavalry, the horses can only be captured!
The more than a thousand war horses seized this time really eased the urgent need of the Liberation Army.

The Restoration Army spent a day recuperating in Tanzhou Town, and the wounded soldiers stayed in place to continue recuperating. Zhu Hongyu led the main force to the north.

Go straight to Foshan!

……

On the third day of May in the 16th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, three days had passed since the decisive battle in Tanzhou Town ended.

After fleeing in embarrassment day and night, the defeated soldiers of the Qing army finally returned to Guangzhou City!
On this day, the sky is just getting brighter!
The city gates of Guangzhou creaked open, and the narrow gates were crowded with many people entering and leaving the city.

Although Guangzhou was massacred once by Shang Kexi and became depopulated!
However, following the Qing government's order to relocate the boundaries and ban the sea, Shang Kexi evacuated all the towns and villages along the fifty miles along the coast.

The influx of a large number of people into Guangzhou City has restored Guangzhou City to its former prosperity!

The shops along the street are full of cries!

It's hard to say whether Shang Kexi moved fifty li in one go, as if he had a convulsion, and whether he has any plans to restore the vitality of Guangzhou City by this.

After all, Guangzhou is his fiefdom!
The more prosperous Guangzhou is, the more Shang Kexi will profit.

However, it is still gratifying to relocate the border and ban the sea, which brings not only prosperity to Guangzhou, but also very serious social problems.

……

ps1: Thank you for your reminders. Zhongshan was renamed in the Republic of China. It was called Xiangshan in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The author just knew it.

ps2: There is also the matter of Shang Zhixin. The author admits that he is not rigorous enough, and will pay attention to it in the future, but the previous story lines have been strung together, and there is no way to change it.

Cough cough, one last sentence, all kinds of kneeling for support!
