The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 539 Cut off the Yangtze River

He personally played the defeat of the Qing Dynasty's Saarhu, which really hurt Tuhai.

More importantly, this defeat, at least within two or three years, the Qing army was unable to organize another large-scale attack on Jiangnan.

If there is no accident, in this process, the entire Jiangnan will fall into the hands of Ming thief!

The Ming Kingdom will also gain a firm foothold on the mainland again!

Once the Ming Dynasty is restored, the impact on the Qing Dynasty will be immeasurable.

If Ming Thief gains a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, the world will definitely change!
Tu Hai even suspects that if the Jian Guo of the Ming Thieves ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in Jiangning, an imperial decree will be able to make the entire Jiangnan spread, and even Jiangbei will have many state capitals attached to it...

Although he didn't want to admit it, from the point of view of legitimacy, even if Da Qing flattered him, he still couldn't catch up with Da Ming!

The difference is not so big!
No matter how much the Manchu Qing cleans up, they will never be able to remove the label of foreign regime.

Although from the original historical perspective, the decree of shaving the hair and making it easy to wear made great contributions to the enslavement education of the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Made an indelible contribution to the Manchu Qing enslavement of China for more than 200 years!

But judging from the present, especially in this situation where the Ming Dynasty is making a comeback.

The decree to shave their hair and make it easy to wear is more like the Manchu Qing Dynasty severing itself from the world!
You've already shaved your hair and made it easy to wear clothes, so what face do you have to claim to be orthodox in the world?
If the military force of the Qing Dynasty occupies an absolute advantage, then it doesn't matter if it is orthodox or not.

But if the military power of the two sides is about the same, the weight of the so-called orthodoxy can be much heavier than imagined.

What people want is not just talk!

For example, if it weren't for Daming's will, Zhu Hongyu would not be able to sweep half of the southeast within a year.

Tuhai sighed heavily, and then spoke.

"The pursuit of the bandits is less than fifty miles away from my army, there is no time to delay, let's start preparing to cross the river immediately!"

The Qing army lost weight severely during the northward retreat, and now there are only 7 to [-] people left.

But 7 to [-] people is not a small number!

Even if they cross the river at the fastest speed, it is impossible for all 7 or [-] people to cross the Yangtze River without taking a day or two.

But the pursuit of the Ming army is pressing harder and harder!
For the Qing army, there is really no room for the slightest delay now.

They must evacuate as soon as possible, to the north bank of the Yangtze River, otherwise they will be easily wiped out by Ming Dynasty on the south bank.

After receiving Tuhai's order, the Qing army began to board the ships, and one by one the ferries pulled anchor and set sail, heading for the north bank!

Ferries, large and small, almost cover the entire river.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the Qing army were the first to board the boat to cross the river.

No matter when, the Eight Banners soldiers are always the first priority.

In my Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners priority is political correctness!
Tu Hai was also standing at the bow of the ship, feeling the waves under his feet, his body swaying with the shaking of the ship.

The Yangtze River in winter is not calm. In the howling wind, the waves are still there.

From time to time, river water rolls onto the deck of the ferry, soaking people's legs and feet.

After pulling anchor and setting sail, the hull of the ferry was shaking even more.

However, Tu Hai didn't feel scared at all, instead, his body and mind were surrounded by a strong sense of security.

He just wants to leave the south bank of the Yangtze River as soon as possible and return to Jiangbei District...

Just at this time, a large-scale fleet appeared at the same time in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The white sails, the tall hull like a hill, and the densely packed gun ports on the side of the ship...

All show the horror of these sea weapons!
At this moment, Tu Hai's heart seemed to be grabbed by a fist, and the feeling of suffocation surged up like a tide.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!
Tuhai seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.

Because, he saw the flag hoisted on the fleet that came from upstream and downstream.

The twelve-pointed sun and moon flag!

It's the flag of Ming Thieves!

At this moment, Tu Hai suddenly realized that he seemed to be bored in the south of the Yangtze River by the navy of the Ming thief.

boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!

The sound of orderly shelling continued to roar, and gunpowder smoke filled the river.

The navy of the Ming army, who came from the upper and lower reaches, arrived at the Jiangyin Ferry without even saying a word of nonsense, and sent the Qing army a belated New Year's Day gift with shells.

Amidst the rumble of shelling, countless heavy artillery shells were fired at the ferry on the river.

The shell hit the ferry, instantly sawdust scattered, and the hull shattered.

The Eight Banners soldiers on board all fell into the river after the ferry disintegrated, and the river water soaked through the cotton armor in an instant.

The cotton armor after being soaked in water was extremely heavy, and it dragged people into the bottom of the water in the blink of an eye.

These Eight Banners soldiers struggled desperately, but to no avail.

The violent shelling even caused the Ming army's warships to shake.

The vibration was transmitted through the wooden hull, causing faint ripples on the surface of the river.

The violent shelling directly stunned the Qing army who were crossing the river.

Tu Hai watched helplessly as the warships of the Ming army approached and inserted into the ferry queue of the Qing army.

The bow of the ship slammed into a ferry boat. To the Qing army on the ferry, this scene was no different from the top of Mount Tai.

With a click, the small ferry was crushed and shattered. It was crushed under by the warships of the Ming army and plunged into the icy water of the river.

In an instant, there were only broken pieces of wood floating on the river!
Seeing this scene, Tu Hai knew that there was no hope of crossing the river, and only despair remained in his heart.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Tu Hai knew that if he continued to stay on the river, he would be making a living target for the Ming thief's navy.

The only choice before him now is to return to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then look for another opportunity to cross the river.

Halfway through, the Qing army ferry began to return to the south bank the same way!
However, how could the Ming army ask the Qing army to leave the battlefield so easily?
The navy of the Ming army quickly turned their muzzles, and there was a burst of fierce shelling on the south bank of the Yangtze River!

A round of heavy artillery shells slightly passed the ship and smashed into the crowd of Qing soldiers on the south bank.

Wherever the shells passed, a piece of stumped limbs and broken arms flew!
Flower bombs fell on the crowd, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.

Fragments and shock waves swept across everything, blasting blank spaces in the dense formation of the Qing army.

After the explosive bombs exploded, the craters left on the ground are shocking!

The Qing army was suddenly shelled, and the already low morale began to continue to drop visible to the naked eye.

Some Qing soldiers even turned around and fled, and the [-] to [-] Qing troops on the south bank were in a mess in an instant.

What made Tuhai even more desperate was that the navy of the Ming army did not stop there.

Instead, they continued to concentrate their firepower and targeted the ferry boats berthing at the south bank ferry.

Amidst the rumble of shelling, the Qing army ferry berthed at the South Bank Ferry was submerged by countless shells in the blink of an eye...

It turned into countless broken wood chips floating on the river!

Seeing this, Tu Hai's eyes were tearing apart, and only despair remained in his heart.

The purpose of his retreat to the south bank was to find another opportunity, or to cross the river by another ferry.

But if he wants to cross the river, he must have a ferry!
However, now the Qing army's ferry is almost completely destroyed by the Ming army's navy with naval guns!

How about crossing the river?
You can't expect the Qing army to swim across the river, can you?

Not to mention that most of the Qing army were from the north and could not swim.

Even if soldiers of the Qing army could swim, who would dare to jump into the Yangtze River in winter?

Are you really not afraid of freezing to death?
Given the current temperature of the river, it would take less than 10 minutes for the soldiers of the Qing army to jump down and die of hypothermia!
The current Tuhai is truly hopeless!
Finished!

It's all over!
