The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Hongyu has never forgotten another purpose of the Ming army's Northern Expedition!
Longjiang Treasure Shipyard!
"Those craftsmen who build ships, none of them can be let go, they must all be controlled!"

"Including those foreign shipwrights from the West!"

"The timber and tools for shipbuilding in Treasure Shipyard can also be taken away, and those that cannot be taken away will be burned. Nothing can be left for the Qing court!"

Zhu Hongyu's meaning is very clear, he wants to completely cut off the possibility of the Qing court developing a navy.

The generals clasped their fists to accept the order, and went to do things according to the arrangement.

A navy squadron of the Ming army pulled anchor and set sail, headed upstream towards Nanjing.

The Mingzi flag hangs high on the mast, hunting in the wind!
……

On the battlefield, the air of blood is soaring!

Countless corpses almost covered the entire battlefield.

The Ming army recruited some peasants from nearby villages and towns to help clean up the battlefield.

The corpses were counted one by one, and the corpses of the Qing army were randomly piled up together.

The corpses of the Ming army were sorted out and placed aside.

A number of health workers shuttled on the battlefield, taking no time to rescue their own wounded.

A large number of wounded were carried to the wounded barracks behind after simple hemostasis and first aid.

On the battlefield, the horses, armor, weapons, grain, etc. left on the battlefield when the Qing army withdrew were collected for inventory.

Billows of black smoke rose, and a smell similar to burning feathers mixed with the smell of barbecue made many people who smelled the smell vomit out on the spot.

Because, this smell is exactly the smell of burning corpses!
Zhu Hongyu also subconsciously took a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

Looking in the direction of the battlefield, Zhu Hongyu asked.

"How is the cleaning of the battlefield? Has the number of casualties been counted?"

"How about the results and capture?"

Xu Bin bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"Reporting to Your Highness, our army suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle!"

"Among them, more than 200 were killed in battle, [-] were disabled, and more than [-] were generally injured."

"Most of the casualties came from the Guiyi Army in charge of the frontal battlefield."

"In terms of capture, our army counted tens of thousands of Qing army corpses on the battlefield, and captured more than [-] prisoners of war."

"The main force of the Qing army in Jiangning was severely damaged, and its remnants retreated into Qixia Mountain to hold on."

Nearly [-] Qing army corpses were found on the battlefield, but only two-thirds of this number of Qing troops actually died at the hands of the Ming army.

The remaining third was killed by the Qing army's supervising team.

Moreover, most of the results and gains achieved by the Ming army in this battle came from the pursuit of the Ming army after the retreat of the Qing army.

During the frontal confrontation between the two sides, the Ming army caused only a small number of casualties to the Qing army.

It's not clear how much the military supervisor team has killed!

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and was about to leave to inspect the wounded barracks.

……

The Ming army raised their loudspeakers one by one, shouting in the direction of Qixia Mountain to persuade them to surrender.

"Han brothers on the mountain, come down the mountain and surrender, don't be traitors!"

"Han people don't beat Han people, we are all Han people, why do we need to be slaves to the dog tartars?!"

"Quickly go down the mountain and surrender, keep your money and rat tail as a traitor, and go underground to face your ancestors after you die!"

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo said, if you surrender, you will not be killed, but you will be rewarded if you defect! If you don't surrender now, you won't have a chance later!"

"..."

Liang Huafeng stood under a large banner, listening to the Ming army's persuasion at the foot of the mountain, his face darkened.

Traitor!

The money rat tail has no face to meet the ancestors!

Be a slave to the Tartars!

A sentence was like a knife, piercing straight into his heart.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

So fucking sharp!

Liang Huafeng, the commander-in-chief of the town, thought so, let alone the soldiers below.

After hearing the Ming army's persuasion to surrender, who can have no idea?
If the Qing Dynasty was strong, it would have been done as a traitor or a slave. If the Ming army used such words to persuade them to surrender, it would only be regarded as a joke!

No one will take it seriously.

But isn't the Qing Dynasty defeated now?
Tens of thousands of troops were completely annihilated, and the Jiangning Eight Banners, together with more Green Battalion soldiers, were besieged in Qixia Mountain.

It's very harsh to hear this again at this time!

Most of the armies of this era do not have the so-called nationalist ideology, and there is no resistance to working for a foreign race.

But that doesn't mean they don't know how to be a traitor, being a slave is shameful, money rat tail is really ugly...

Although people have different aesthetics, there is a consensus that money rat tails are ugly.

There is no doubt about this!
Because of the Ming army's persuasion to surrender on Qixia Mountain, people were panicked, and a large number of green battalion soldiers were whispering about something.

These green battalion soldiers dodged their eyes and flinched, and when they saw someone approaching, they would disperse.

A dark cloud lingered in everyone's mind. Gradually, the Qing army began to sneak down the mountain and surrender to the Ming army.

Because there is almost no food on Qixia Mountain now!

The Qing army withdrew too hastily, and was chased by the Ming army for a while, and accidentally lost most of the food and grass.

When we went to Qixia Mountain to check, we found that the army was running out of food and grass.

Then, one can imagine what choice the generals of the Qing army will make.

It is nothing more than reducing the supply of food and grass for the green camp soldiers to ensure the needs of the Eight Banners soldiers.

In this way, one can imagine what choice the green camp soldiers of the Qing army will make.

A large number of green battalion soldiers chose to go down the mountain and surrender to the Ming army!
If it weren't for the Eight Banners soldiers and the personal soldiers and family members of the generals at all levels to watch closely, I am afraid that all the green battalion soldiers will flee.

……

At the foot of Qixia Mountain, the Ming army is also preparing for a fire attack in full swing!
A trebuchet was driven out, and tanks of oil were unloaded from the transport ship.

The Ming army mobilized a large number of civilians before and after, and dug out a not-so-narrow isolation zone around Qixia Mountain.

In two or three days, the preparations before the fire attack were all completed!
In these two or three days, the Ming army received two thousand surrendered green camps.

During this period, the Qing army tried several times to raid the Ming army besieging the mountain, hoping to open up the situation and solve the current predicament.

But without exception, several surprise attacks by the Qing army were all resolved one by one by the Ming army!

In this process, the Qing army paid a lot of casualties!
Moreover, due to the problem of food and grass, the morale of the Qing army has also declined visibly to the naked eye.

Now, the only thought of these Qing troops surrounded by Qixia Mountain is that reinforcements from all over the south of the Yangtze River can arrive to help Qixia Mountain and save them from the fire.

Standing beside the trebuchet position that had been arranged in advance, Zhu Hongyu just waved his hand and ordered while looking at the cans of oil.

"let's start!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the soldiers of the Ming army began to move, and tanks of oil were loaded onto the trebuchet.

The trebuchet was fired, and the round jars were thrown into the sky, towards the direction of Qixia Mountain.

The jar drew arcs in mid-air, and fell towards the Qing army's position on Qixia Mountain.

Click!Click!Click!

The crisp sound of broken clay pots continued one after another, and thick black oil flowed everywhere.

In the next moment, the sound of piercing through the air resounded!
The rockets dragged long tail flames and landed towards Qixia Mountain.

Amidst the rumbling explosion, the fire ignited the oil, and in the next instant, the flames soared into the sky, and the entire Qixia Mountain was instantly engulfed by the fierce fire...

In the monstrous sea of ​​flames, countless soldiers of the Qing army wailed and screamed, engulfed by the high temperature, and turned into charred corpses!

The fire spread rapidly, and some Qing troops who wanted to escape from the mountains were unable to escape at all, and were submerged in the sea of ​​flames.
