The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

On the side of the Ming army camp, those Green Army soldiers of the Qing Army who fled down the mountain and surrendered to Ming Dynasty took the risk of being hacked and killed by the Eight Banners soldiers as deserters.

They swallowed subconsciously.

My heart is full of emotions called rejoicing!

I am glad that I made a very wise choice and voluntarily surrendered to Daming, otherwise, there should be one of my acquaintances on Qixia Mountain now...

……

Gusts of wind blew, and the already majestic fire continued to spread.

The trees were engulfed by the fire and ignited!

Countless rabbits, voles, pheasants, and even hibernating snakes and other small animals were chased by the fire, squeaking and screaming, and rushed out of Qixia Mountain as if fleeing for their lives.

The fire continued to spread, and the screams of people were covered up by the crackling sound of burning!
The flames burned half of the sky red, and a wave of heat waves spread over the surface, as if to dispel the damp and cold from the bottom of the human body.

The sky was full of clouds and clouds, and the billowing black smoke was like black dragons coiling in the sky, leaving very obvious traces.

"Send someone to watch the fire, don't let the fire spread beyond Qixia Mountain!"

Zhu Hongyu ordered casually.

However, just as his words fell, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky.

Pieces of snowflakes are crystal clear, fluttering and falling.

Then it was blown by the heat of the mountain fire and turned into rain.

Zhu Hongyu touched the raindrops dripping on his armor with an inexplicable expression on his face.

What a coincidence that happened today!

After setting off the fire on my own side, the Qing army almost became adults, and it started snowing in the sky.

It happened to save the finishing work of the Ming army!
It can only be said that God really gave him face as a time traveler!
Under the watchful eyes of countless Ming soldiers, the snow in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.

Gradually, it seems to lay a white blanket on the earth.

With a heat wave blowing in front of him and a gust of cold wind behind him, Zhu Hongyu gathered his cloak and said.

"Don't watch it, go back to camp, there's nothing to see!"

……

In the direction of Qixia Mountain, after the fire was fully burned, it also began to shrink, but the temperature was still terrible.

Even the soil and rocks were burnt red!

The water vapor evaporated and rose, and in just a moment, a thick white mist rose from Qixia Mountain!

Coupled with the heavy snow between the sky and the earth, it looks like a fairyland at a glance!
But under the cover of this fairyland-like visual experience, it is a hellish scene.

Sentences of charred corpses were everywhere, and the stench from burning corpses made people feel very uncomfortable.

The camp of the Qing army turned into ruins!
There are traces of burning everywhere!
Zhu Hongyu just opened his mouth to order.

"Block Qixia Mountain, wait for the high temperature to dissipate, and then send people up the mountain to investigate the situation!"

"See if there are any corpses that haven't been burned clean, and clean them up together!"

Zhu Hongyu continued to speak after ordering the completion of the matter.

"Screen the newly surrendered prisoners of war from the green battalion. If any of them were expelled before the battle, or slaughtered the city before the battle, they would all be killed!"

"The remaining people, after breaking up, join the Guiyi Army!"

"The green battalion officers among them must be screened out, undergo intensive re-education, and then conduct an assessment on them. Only after passing the assessment can they continue to lead the army!"

Zhu Hongyu wanted to digest the green battalion of the Qing army who surrendered. The biggest problem was not the green battalion soldiers themselves, but the officers in them.

It doesn't matter to the soldiers, whoever pays the food will work hard.

They didn't care about the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. As long as Zhu Hongyu was paid enough, he would have no problem controlling ordinary soldiers.

But officers are different!

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu wanted to screen out the officers from the Green Battalion who surrendered and carry out re-education!
While educating the officers, digest the surrendering soldiers!
And at the same time, Zhu Hongyu was also transferring the meritorious Guangfu soldiers into the Guiyi Army to serve as grassroots officers.

I want to use this to completely control the Guiyi Army!

The effect is very good. Today's officers in the Guiyi Army basically do not have the original Green Camp officers.

Most of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army who made meritorious service were promoted to officers, or soldiers of the Restoration Army were transferred.

With the help of such means, Zhu Hongyu turned the Guiyi Army into an army with certain combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Zhu Hongyu then ordered the army to prepare to evacuate.

Today, the Jiangning Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and some Green Battalion soldiers loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty were burned to death on Qixia Mountain.

The Longjiang Shipyard was also captured by the Ming army, and then it was wiped out in one breath, taking away what could be taken away, and burning what could not be taken away.

It also wiped out the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing court, which greatly damaged the Qing court's water surface power.

Almost all the strategic goals of this Northern Expedition were perfectly achieved!

In the current situation where it is unrealistic to attack Nanjing City, there is no need for the main force of the Ming army to keep Jiangnan.

Instead of trying to build an enclave in the south of the Yangtze River and divide troops to garrison it, it is better to send troops from Guangdong to attack Guangxi, Hunan and Jiangxi. After these are defeated, they can actually defend the territory.

Zhu Hongyu boarded the boat again, and before leaving, he looked at the winding Yangtze River, and at the end of his line of sight, the majestic and majestic city of Nanjing.

He said silently in his heart.

"When I call back next time, I won't withdraw again!"

The results obtained by the Ming army in this battle are already very brilliant. It is unimaginable that just one of the Jiangning Eight Banners almost wiped out the blow to the Manchu Qing.

The total strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers in the hands of the Qing court is no more than [-] to [-]. Even if the Mongolian Eight Banners are counted, this number does not exceed [-].

In this battle, Zhu Hongyu defeated more than 5000 people, plus the gains of the Ming army in the defense of Zhoushan.

At least there are 7000 people!
Almost all of the 7000 people were captured by the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, and at least half of them were from the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

In addition, last year Li Dingguo wiped out the [-] Manchu Eight Banners soldiers in Chanbang.

All in all, in the past two years, before and after, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost almost [-] Manchu Eight Banners soldiers...

Almost one-tenth of the Eight Banners soldiers were wiped out!

For Man Qing, it is no exaggeration to say that the country is shaken!
You must know that the defeat of Tonghebo that made Yong Lao Si heartbroken in history, the casualties of the Eight Banners of the Qing court were only 3000 to [-] people.

……

The fleet of the Ming army left the Yangtze River and began to head south all the way.

Two days after the main force of the Ming army left, a reinforcement from the Qing army finally arrived at Qixia Mountain.

When they saw the tragic situation in Qixia Mountain and saw the charred corpses whose identities could not be distinguished, they all started to vomit unconsciously.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the general of the green battalion who led the army seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Something happened!"

"This is about to happen, send a fast horse immediately, use [-] miles to rush, and report to the capital immediately..."

Groups of fast horses ran out in all directions, and began to convey the news of the battle of Qixia Mountain.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Eight Banners were almost wiped out, the Jiangnan Green Battalion was severely damaged, the governor of Liangjiang Lang Tingzuo, Jiangning General Tulehun, Suzhou Town Commander Liang Huafeng and others all disappeared from the battle, as if they had grown wings. Rapidly spread.

For a time, the world shook!
……

Compared with the calm and stable Yangtze River, the wind and waves in the open sea are much stronger.

The fleet of the Ming army cut through the waves, and the shaking of the hulls of ships, large and small, never stopped.

Zhu Hongyu summoned the generals of the Ming army to discuss the next strategy.
