The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

"Daming's successful Northern Expedition this time is due to merchants like my Li family contributing money and efforts. When His Highness regains Nanjing, he will definitely not treat us badly!"

"Haha, the glory and wealth we are waiting for are all in front of us!"

"..."

The flattery, true or false, did not make Li Weiliang elated.

He can manage the Li family's family business to the current level, so naturally he won't inflate himself just because of his subordinates' flattery that they don't need money.

Li Weiliang just said with a smile.

"As long as we can get rid of the Tartars and restore China, what does personal glory and wealth mean?!"

"The reason why my Li family wants to transport food, grass and military supplies for the army is for Ming Dynasty, for the world, for the recovery of the Central Plains, and to restore my Chinese clothes, not for gold, silver and copper!"

What Li Weiliang said is not false.

Because he really didn't work for Daming for the sake of gold, silver and bronze, his intentions were bigger!

Of course, these sea merchants must make some money to transport food and supplies for the army.

Zhu Hongyu will not let these sea merchants who support him work for him for nothing!

If you donate money, people, and effort, but you still get nothing, you will lose people's hearts!
Sober in the world Zhu Hongyu said that whoring for nothing is a bad idea!
……

Zhu Hongyu looked at the embankment blocking the way of the Ming Fleet, with a serious expression on his face.

The navy of the Qing army was not the opponent of the Ming army. In order to prevent the navy of the Ming army from entering the Yangtze River, the method chosen by the Qing court was to copy homework.

Copy Daming's homework in Liaodong!
If you can't beat it, then repair the fortifications!
The coastal defense fort on the shore, the levee that cuts off the river, the iron chain hidden in the river...

All are defenses arranged by the Qing court in the Yangtze River Estuary!

In front of him, it was such a levee that blocked the way of the Ming army.

Bamboo baskets containing boulders are thrown into the river as the foundation, and the top floor is made of rammed earth.

The widest part is several feet, on which horses can gallop, troops can be mobilized calmly, and there are even artillery firepower points.

Combined with the coastal defense forts of the Qing court and the iron chains blocking the river.

It can be described as impregnable!

When Zheng Chenggong made the northern expedition to Nanjing, the Qing army's fortifications at the mouth of the Yangtze River caused him a lot of trouble.

Zhu Hongyu asked.

"How did Lao Taishan break through the Qing army's fortifications?"

Zheng Chenggong bowed slightly and spoke.

"The veteran first captured the fort along the coast, and used the heavy artillery on the ship to attack the embankment, suppressing the firepower of the Qing."

"Then send out marine troops to forcibly occupy both sides of the Yangtze River, send out marine troops, burn them with fire, cut them with knives, and cut off the deep piles and hidden piles that the Qing army used to fix the iron chains blocking the river on both sides of the Yangtze River..."

"Finally, soldiers and horses were sent to compete with the Qing army for control of the levee, and a large amount of gunpowder was used to blow up the levee, and the army successfully entered the Yangtze River."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Pass down the order, follow the usual practice, the whole army presses up and launches an attack!"

"..."

As soon as the order flags hoisted on the ships of the Ming army changed, they launched an attack on the embankment built by the Qing court to block the river.

The sailors of the Ming army rowed small boats and attacked the embankment of the Qing army.

Countless small boats rushed towards the embankment!
The fast-moving boat left ripples on the river.

"kill!"

"attack!"

"..."

The sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the river.

However, in the next moment, the shouts of killing were covered by the roar of heavy artillery.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A burst of intensive shelling resounded throughout the Yangtze River estuary, and the warships of the Ming army connected back and forth, almost cutting off the entire river.

The side of the ship is exposed, and the muzzles are black and full of oppression.

Countless artillery aimed at the direction of the embankment, and then began to pour firepower to their heart's content!

One after another, solid bullets and blooming bullets, as if they were free of money, were shot towards the embankment!

Solid bullets hit the weak point of the levee, and earth and rocks flew.

At this time, the Qing army defenders who were still staying on the embankment, just blinked, and the people who were smashed were turned on their backs.

Or be hit by gravel, bloody!
Or they were hit by shells and turned into dilapidated corpses.

The naval guns of the Ming army are pouring out their firepower to their heart's content!

The roar of heavy cannons together constitute the most beautiful symphony in the world.

But it also symbolizes endless blood and fire!

However, how can truly beautiful art get rid of blood and fire?
Life and death are the most touching things in this world!

Blossom bombs were also exploding rumblingly. Under the concentrated fire of the Ming army's heavy artillery, the embankment that the Qing army worked so hard to build was blown out of a hole.

River water gushes out from the mouth and scours the fracture.

The heavy artillery continued to roar, and the gap on the embankment continued to widen.

One after another shells landed in the river water before and after the embankment, splashing a lot of water.

The cotton armor on the Qing cavalry galloping on the embankment was almost completely soaked by the river water.

Shots flew across, and the Qing army guarding the embankment was swept away one by one.

The Qing army deployed on the embankment, and the artillery on the forts along the coast began to roar.

A round of shells was fired towards the fleet of the Ming army!
The range of field artillery in this era is generally not good, and it is hundreds of meters long.

But the coastal defense guns used by the Qing army were red cannons.

Multiples of long barrel, large caliber, the range of the shell can easily hit one or two kilometers.

There is still some threat to the Ming army's warships on the Hengsheng River!

Click!Click!
The shell hit the side of the ship, and sawdust flew.

There were even shells hitting the waterline, and a large amount of river water poured into the hull of the ship.

Most of the warships of the Ming army were sea-going ships, although they could also be used in large rivers.

But because there are few winds and waves in the big river, the maneuverability is limited.

But the Ming army's counterattack was quite timely, and the rifled guns on the warships also adjusted their targets one after another, and began to aim at the Qing army's fort and fire.

Countless explosive shells poured down, and the forts of the Qing army were blown up and turned upside down.

The battlefield is full of gunpowder, and countless shells fly across!

Huge projectiles visible to the naked eye flew through the air.

It seemed that the cannonball was not flying fast, but it hit the target in the blink of an eye, and it was impossible to dodge.

Fierce artillery battle between the two sides!

With the background music of heavy artillery roaring, the Ming army's marine troops rowed their landing craft, preparing to land along the Yangtze River and pull out the forts and forts of the Qing army along the coast.

Clear the way for the army to attack!

……

Wu Laoliu personally led the team to launch a landing operation. Amidst the shouts, the sailors of the Ming army paddled desperately.

The boats rushed forward quickly!
The Qing army on the shore began to fight back!
Boom!bang bang!Boom!

A series of large and small artillery began to roar, and the shells were fired towards the landing troops of the Ming army.

Shotgun, solid bullet, chain bullet...

Countless shells flew on the battlefield.

The ship below him shook violently, and shells whistled in his ears.

Wu Laoliu's face was tense, covering up his faint fear, and shouted loudly.

"attack!"

"attack!"

"Kill the Tartars and restore Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

He saw with his own eyes that a soldier beside him was cut off most of his body by the shells of the Qing army.

Blood sprayed everywhere!
He watched with his own eyes a platoon leader under him who was beaten into a gourd of blood by the shotgun.

His heartbeat continued to accelerate, and fear was like a big hand, clenching his heart mercilessly.

There is great fear between life and death. It is human nature to be afraid of death, and no one can escape it.

No matter how elite veterans are, they will be afraid of death.

They've just been through a lot and become numb to life, that's all.

Facing the return fire from the Qing army's artillery, Wu Laoliu's waist was still straight, his eyes were piercingly staring at the battlefield, and he clenched the saber in his hand.
