The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Back then, if Zheng Chenggong hadn't attacked Nanjing in the north, he would have taken advantage of the mobile soldiers to take down the whole of Fujian while the main force of the Qing army was in the southwest to pacify the Yongli regime.

Maybe, he wouldn't have lost so badly back then!

Now he really admires Zhu Hongyu's strategic determination!
That's Nanjing, the resting place of his old Zhu family's ancestors!

It is the old capital of Ming Dynasty!
Today's Nanjing is empty, as long as Zhu Hongyu wants to fight, it is not impossible to beat it all at once!
As long as Nanjing can be won, Zhu Hongyu's prestige will skyrocket.

To what extent did it skyrocket?

It has skyrocketed to the point where Zhu Hongyu, even if he is a collateral and distant clan, can justifiably inherit the great line.

Zheng Chenggong felt that if he put himself in Zhu Hongyu's place, there was a high probability that he would not be able to resist the temptation of Nanjing City.

However, Zhu Hongyu held back!
Zhu Hongyu looked around for a week, then spoke.

"In this battle, the purpose of our army is to annihilate the Qing army's vital force as much as possible, rather than deliberately pursue the siege of the city."

"It would be best if the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Nanjing by the Qing government could be brought out of the city and wiped out in the field. There is no need to storm Nanjing City!"

He looked at Xu Bin, and then continued to speak.

"The staff will come up with a corresponding battle plan as soon as possible!"

"..."

……

The Ming army recuperated on Zhoushan Island for a few days, and then continued to advance towards the Yangtze River.

The navy fleet of the Ming army reached Chongming Island!

Amidst the overwhelming sound of artillery fire, the Qing army's naval camp in Chongming was completely destroyed by artillery fire.

The flag of Ming Dynasty is flying again on Chongming Island!
The defenders on the island died and surrendered, and no one dared to resist.

The navy fleet of the Ming army made some adjustments and continued to advance mightily towards the Yangtze River Basin.

The Yangtze River Navy of the Qing army was severely damaged in Zhoushan, and even the admiral Shi Lang committed suicide.

The remaining navy forces of the Qing army were simply unable to resist the Ming army's entry into the Yangtze River.

The huge navy of the Ming army went upstream and entered the Yangtze River.

……

At the same time, the news of the defeat of the Qing army in the Battle of Zhoushan quickly spread throughout Jiangnan as if it had grown wings.

Jiangnan shakes!

In the city of Nanjing, which was renamed Jiangning by the Manchu Qing, great riots broke out.

More than a thousand Manchurian Eight Banners and nearly ten thousand elite green camps were annihilated by the Ming army in Zhoushan. Jiangning was empty and Jiangnan was empty!
The former Daming Palace, now Jiangning is full of the city, and the sound of mourning resounds through the sky.

A defeat in Zhoushan almost caused every family in the entire Jiangning city to mourn and mourn.

After experiencing Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing, the Qing court deployed heavy troops in Jiangning, and mobilized many Eight Banners soldiers from the north to garrison south.

But even so, due to the severe population problem in Manchuria, the number of Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jiangning was no more than 8000 to [-].

In the offensive and defensive battle of the Zhoushan Fortress, there was a tug-of-war for nearly a year, and the Qing Army's Eight Banners accumulated casualties.

In addition to the Zhoushan defeat this time, more than a thousand Manchu Eight Banners soldiers who were wiped out by the Ming army.

Jiangning's garrisoned Eight Banners are gone, almost two thousand!

For the Jiangning garrison of the Eight Banners with only 8000 people, it is no exaggeration to say that the 2000 casualties were traumatic.

General Jiangning's mansion, Jiangnan governor Lang Tingzuo appointed by the Qing court, and Jiangning general Tulehun walked side by side.

Suzhou General Liang Huafeng, Zhenjiang General Yao Qizheng and others followed.

Lang Tingzuo was wearing a thick big scorpion, feeling the cold and humid air in Jiangning in winter.

The complexion is not very good-looking.

Born in the north, he can withstand the cold wind in Liaodong, but he can't withstand the damp and cold in the south of the Yangtze River!
Jiang Ning General Tule Hun's face was simply gloomy, as if dripping water.

The atmosphere in the air was oppressive and dull, as if it was the calm before the storm.

The people accompanying the two didn't even dare to fart, they followed cautiously, trying to take their steps lightly.

"Zhoushan was defeated, Shi Lang and Duolong lost their teachers and humiliated the country, they really deserve to be killed!"

As if he had had enough of the silence around him, Thule said with a cold face and a cold tone.

Lang Tingzuo at the side sighed and said.

"It should be killed!"

"But fortunately, neither of them was on the battlefield, and they didn't do anything like surrendering to the Ming thief and humiliating the majesty of the court!"

Tulehun spoke again.

"Now the Ming thief is going upstream, entering the Yangtze River, and directing his sword to Beijing. How should we deal with it?"

Lang Tingzuo said with a sigh.

"Still the old rules!"

"Order the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers in the city to prepare for battle, mobilize troops from the entire south of the Yangtze River, and prepare to go out of the city to stop the Ming army!"

Thule couldn't help frowning and said.

"Go out of the city to stop it?"

"The Ming bandit has the advantage in force and is coming in aggressively. Shouldn't we be avoiding his edge and defending the city at this time?"

"Why did you take the initiative to go out of the city and fight with the Ming army?"

"If that's the case, isn't it too Meng Lang?"

Tulehun's idea was to defend the city and wait for reinforcements from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to arrive.

Let's reproduce their glorious victory over Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition.

He didn't expect that Lang Tingzuo wanted to go out to fight in waves!

Lang Tingzuo said with a sigh.

"It's not because I want to go out of the city to fight, but because I don't want to fight!"

"Outside Nanjing City, there is a Longjiang Shipyard."

"I don't need to say more about how much the imperial court attaches importance to Longjiang Shipyard. I believe General Tulehun knows something about it."

"If we sit back and watch the Longjiang Shipyard fall into the hands of the Ming army, I don't need to say more about the consequences!"

The Qing court had suffered a great loss in the navy, so it was natural to think about how to get back.

Over the past year, a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen, shipbuilding timber, and Xiyi missionaries who know how to build ships have been continuously concentrated in the Longjiang Shipyard.

After almost a year of production, the first batch of navy warships manufactured by Longjiang Shipyard will be launched soon.

Under such circumstances, the Qing court absolutely could not accept that the Longjiang shipyard outside Nanjing was taken away by the Ming army.

Tulehun nodded vigorously, and said with great backbone.

"In this case, the battle is over!"

"My Eight Banners warriors of the Qing Dynasty, can we still be afraid of Ming thieves?"

Lang Tingzuo continued to speak.

"Haha, you don't have to be so serious, it's not to that level yet!"

"The Qing Dynasty set up forts, iron chains to block the river, and embankments for coastal defenses in the Songhu area at the mouth of the Yangtze River."

"Although the Ming thief navy is strong, it may not be able to break through the defenses set up by our Qing Dynasty at the mouth of the Yangtze River!"

Tulehun nodded slightly in agreement.

……

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the shadow of sails covers the sky!

A huge fleet sailed from the direction of Chongming, straight into the Yangtze River.

The fleet has hundreds of large and small ships, lined up on the wide river, but there is no edge in sight.

The red setting sun hangs high, staining the surface of the river into blood.

The white river fish jumped out of the water, flopped a few times in the air, and splashed a large amount of water after entering the water.

There are big flags with clear characters on each side, and the twelve-pointed sun and moon flags are flying in the wind on the mast!
The Patriarch of the Li family, Li Weiliang, stood on the bow of his big ship, holding a telescope, looking at the vast Yangtze River in the distance, and laughed.

"In this battle, if my Ming Dynasty can successfully regain Nanjing, it will be regarded as ZTE!"

Li Weiliang didn't know Zhu Hongyu's plan for this battle.

Seeing the Yangtze River, he thought that Daming was heading for Nanjing.

The servants, guards, and attendants around him also spoke in agreement.

"Master has a clever plan, and he boarded Daming's chariot ahead of time. When Daming is restored in the future, the future of my Li family will be bright. Master's future is bound to be limitless!"
