The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 687
Before Oboi was kept waiting for long, all the generals of the Qing army gathered together.

After Qi Qi bowed down to Oboi and saluted, all the generals took their seats.

Aobai also nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"According to reliable information, the bandits are expected to launch a large-scale northern expedition after the spring of next year!"

"At that time, Beizhili will become the front line of the enemy!"

"War is imminent!"

"In this regard, do you adults have any suggestions for me?"

"Facing the invasion of Ming thieves, how should I, Qing Dynasty, deal with it?"

Obai's inquiry caused all the generals of the Qing army to fall into silence.

All eyes gathered together, and there was a faint look of fear on everyone's face.

Almost all the generals of the Qing army knew that the strength of the Ming army was not something they could match.

If Daming really came to attack, let alone the flat terrain of Beizhili.

Even the Liaoxi Corridor and Shanxi, which is geographically superior, may not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army.

Finally, someone stood up and suggested.

"Shaobao, from the perspective of the future, since Ming thieves have sharp firearms and are strong in field battles, then my Qing Dynasty will not fight against Ming thieves in the field."

"It is to actively build fortifications and fight against the Ming thieves!"

"My Qing Dynasty can build the capital, Tianjin, Baoding and other places into fortresses, so as to resist the attacks of Ming thieves."

As soon as this remark came out, someone on the side raised very pessimistic objections.

"But it turns out that the Fortress of Fortified City can't stop the attack of Ming thief!"

"The Ming thief's artillery fire is really too sharp. Under the Ming thief's heavy artillery, the strong fortresses of my Qing Dynasty are all the same as paper."

"I really can't bear it!"

These are the lessons learned by the Qing army at the cost of blood and lives.

The person who spoke first shook his head after hearing the words.

"Facts have proved that the above-ground buildings really can't withstand the heavy artillery of Ming thieves, but what about the underground buildings?"

"No matter how powerful the artillery of the Ming army is, there is no way to take the underground buildings!"

"We can dig trenches, dig tunnels, lay traps, and prepare for street fighting with Ming thieves!"

"Through hand-to-hand street fighting, we will resist the attack of the bright thieves!"

There is no shortage of talents in the Qing army in this era. They survived decades of fierce battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties with quick thinking, firm will to fight, and not dull thinking.

The acceptance of new tactics and tactics is also quite high!

After realizing that field battles were not advisable and that the former fortified city no longer had the utility it should have, the Qing army quickly made a "thinking change".

Take out trenches and tunnels, and use such fortifications to fight street fighting with the Ming army.

Obai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the expression on his face was also constantly changing.

Finally he nodded and said.

"That's a good statement!"

"Using trenches and tunnels to fight Ming thieves in the streets is indeed the most suitable method for my Qing Dynasty at present."

"Pass down the order, and immediately prepare to dig trenches and tunnels in Beijing, Tianjin, Baoding and other places, and prepare to accumulate food, grass and weapons for street fighting."

"If the thieves come to commit crimes, they will definitely come and never come back!"

Following Obai's order, all departments of the Qing army began to prepare for street fighting.

A large amount of food, grass and military equipment were transported from various places to the capital, Tianjin, and Baoding!
The Qing Dynasty recruited a large number of civilians to dig tunnels!

He also recruited soldiers from all over the country and prepared to form an army to expand the size of the Qing army.

The whole of Beizhili felt the cloud of war.

Everyone is aware that war is imminent!
……

Nanjing City!
As the end of the year approaches, Nanjing is also becoming more and more lively.

On the wide channel of the Yangtze River, countless ships shuttle back and forth, and the cargo throughput is quite large.

Today's Nanjing City is a well-deserved number one city in the world!
The prosperity of the city and the dense population are the best in the world!
This Yangtze River waterway is also the most prosperous and richest golden waterway in the world.

The special tribute envoy of North Korea, Kim Min-sun, arrived in Daming with the return of the Daming mission around this New Year's Eve.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the estuary of the Yangtze River not far away, Jin Minshan couldn't hide his excitement.

"Is that the Shang Kingdom?!"

Jin Minshan couldn't help asking.

Standing beside him was Liao Zhou, the envoy of Ming Dynasty to North Korea.

Liao Zhou was also looking at the Yangtze River Estuary in the distance. Looking at the Yangtze River Estuary, which was obviously more prosperous than before, with more ships coming and going, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Today's Daming is really blooming with flowers!"

At the same time that Jin Minshan was lamenting the prosperity of Daming, and Liao Zhou was lamenting the great changes in Ming Dynasty during this period.

The North Korean princess in the cabin was also looking out through the porthole.

She is only eight years old this year, and she is just a child.

But although she is young, she is already slim and graceful, and she is a beautiful embryo.

Looking at the prosperity outside the porthole, Li Enhui felt complicated when she thought that she would live in Daming from now on.

I can never go home again!
No matter how prosperous Daming outside the window is, it is not her home.

The fleet continued to head toward the Yangtze River, and the flags hanging high on the mast showed the identity of the fleet.

When the fleet passed the naval fortress on Chongming Island, the navy of Daming sent a squadron to escort the fleet to Nanjing along the way.

Not just because this is the mission's fleet!
The more important reason is because the emperor's concubine is on board.

The mission team went upstream all the way, and was watched by many merchant ships along the way.

When they saw the flag on the ship that symbolized the identity of the North Korean mission, everyone realized that Daming had really returned.

Daming is still the kingdom of heaven that expelled the Tartars, restored China, and conquered all nations!

No, North Korea sent envoys to Daming again!
……

As time passed, the army of the Western Expedition also began to return to the division.

They went down the Yangtze River and rushed to Nanjing at full speed.

It is expected to arrive in Nanjing City around the New Year's Eve!
According to the relevant plan of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, after the Western Expeditionary Army arrives in Nanjing, it will be repaired in situ.

After the spring of next year, the original Western Expedition Army will take over the garrison tasks of the local garrisons.

The local garrison will complete its assembly outside Nanjing, and the navy will prepare to launch the Northern Expedition.

Li Dingguo stood at the bow of the boat, feeling the turbulence of the boat under his feet, his chest was full of apprehension and excitement.

Excited because Daming has really recovered!
And uneasy, because he doesn't know what will happen to him in the future.

Although he is the King Jin of Ming Dynasty now, it is true that he was once a bandit.

Moreover, when Zhang Xianzhong broke Huguang and massacred the Ming clan of the king of Chu, he also participated in it.

And the present Da Ming Zi used to be the clan of Chu King!

No one knows whether Da Mingzi will hold grudges.

The unknown and confusion of the road ahead made Li Dingguo feel uneasy.

Wearing a cloak, He Wenxiu walked out of the cabin, looked at Li Dingguo who was standing at the bow, stepped forward a few steps to Li Dingguo, and asked.

"What is King Jin thinking?"

Li Dingguo withdrew his gaze from the surface of the Yangtze River and spoke.

"It's nothing, I'm just lamenting the impermanence of the world!"

He Wenxiu seemed to understand Li Dingguo's deepest worries, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty does not need to worry, your Majesty is well known for his broad-mindedness!"

"Although the King of Jin was once a bandit, after all these years, the King of Jin has worked hard and fought hard for the sake of the future. His Majesty has seen everything he has done."

He Wenxiu was using his own words to appease Li Dingguo, but he also believed from the bottom of his heart that with Zhu Hongyu's heart, he would not settle accounts with Li Dingguo and others.

Li Dingguo nodded slightly, even after being comforted by He Wenxiu, he still felt a little worried.

The fleet goes down the current, and the speed of the fleet is very fast when the wind is smooth and the water is smooth.

Hurrying quickly, the fleet finally arrived at the pier outside Nanjing on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

He Wenxiu and Li Dingguo stood at the bow of the boat, looking in the direction of Nanjing Wharf.

The pier was full of people, and in the middle of the crowd, the yellow umbrella belonging to Zhu Hongyu was extremely conspicuous.

Today's Zhu Hongyu is not wearing the emperor's crown, but a military uniform, to welcome his triumphant soldiers.

There are leather boots on his feet, a long sword on his waist, white gloves, and a straight military uniform, all of which make his figure taller and taller.

Sitting on horseback, he looked even more majestic.

It was not the emperor of Ming that greeted the triumphant army at the pier today, but the supreme commander of the Ming army.

The military uniform Zhu Hongyu was wearing was to show everyone that the person who came to the pier today was not the emperor, but a soldier.

Zhu Hongyu was riding on horseback, looking at the fleet gradually approaching the pier, with a faint smile on his face.

He was holding a telescope in his hand, and the look in his eyes was very dazzling.

As the fleet approached, the salute on the pier began to roar.

Boom!Boom!
Amidst the continuous roar, the muzzles of the salutes spewed a lot of gunpowder smoke.

The thick gunpowder smoke almost enveloped the entire pier!
Seeing this scene, the fleet fired a salute in response.

Boom!Boom!
Along with it, there were bursts of cheers one after another.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"..."

The cheers almost shook the world.

These returning soldiers stood at the bow of the ship, their chests puffed out, their faces full of pride.

"Don't you see, the army at the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crowned captives invite long tassels!"

"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun!"

"A man's behavior is serious and dangerous. How can Ru Guan miss this life?"

"Kuang Nai's country is in dire straits, and the battle between the feathers will never stop!"

"Abandon my old pen, and use my wartime lapel."

"One call to more than [-] fellow robes, singing battle songs and joining the army."

"Swear to sweep and build slaves regardless of your own life!"

"..."

The students of the Daming Royal Lecture Hall Military Academy stood in formation on the pier, singing military songs at the top of their voices.

The loud and clear military song resounded throughout the pier, and gradually, the people watching the excitement also sang along.

Throughout the ages, music is the most moving force!

Listening to this majestic and loud war song, the morale of the Ming army was boiling.

Amidst bursts of military singing, the fleet gradually approached the port.

The sail was lowered, the anchor was lowered, and a soldier of the Ming army stepped on the solid ground again through the pedal.

Li Dingguo and He Wenxiu got off the boat one after the other. After they got off the boat, they strode towards Zhu Hongyu's direction.

Together with all the generals in the army, the two came to Zhu Hongyu together and bowed down neatly.

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty, Great Ming will win forever, Your Majesty will live forever!"

"The last general pays homage to His Majesty, Great Ming will win forever, Your Majesty will live forever!"

"..."

For the first time, Zhu Hongyu met Li Dingguo, who was well-known in history.

I saw that this rogue was born, but in the end he was a famous anti-Qing general who was loyal to Ming Dynasty.

Li Dingguo is tall and tall, but very thin, with obvious edges and corners on his face.

His skin was darkened by the wind and sun in the southwest, and there were fine crow's feet in the corners of his eyes.

Today's Li Dingguo does not have the high spirits of his youth, but he is full of the charm of a mature man.

The weather-beaten temperament on his body is very attractive.

While Zhu Hongyu was looking at Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo was also quietly looking at Zhu Hongyu, the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Wearing a military uniform, Zhu Hongyu looked very heroic. His outstanding appearance and his high-spirited, confident and self-respecting temperament made people impressed at first glance.

Even if he was not wearing the crown at this time, Li Dingguo could recognize him at a glance, this is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Not only because Zhu Hongyu was standing in the C position, surrounded by everyone in the center.

It's because of the temperament on him!

The temperament that belongs only to the emperor cannot be imitated by others.

Li Dingguo used to follow Yongli. He had met Emperor Yongli. At first glance, Yongli's appearance and temperament were not bad.

But compared with Zhu Hongyu in front of him, the gap is not 01:30.

The one in front of him, just sitting on the horseback, even if he does nothing, looks like a born emperor.

That kind of majesty, that kind of temperament, is as dazzling as the brightest stars in the night sky!
What shocked Li Dingguo even more was Zhu Hongyu's youth.

Even if Zhu Hongyu can grow a beard to look mature, Li Dingguo can still tell that he is very young.

At most, they are in their early 20s!
Backwards, this guy was only in his teens when he raised his army.

Such a young man created such a large foundation in just a few years, held high the banner of Ming Dynasty, and recovered the entire south of the Yangtze River.

Daming has lost the entire Central Plains, and it can only be said that it is destiny to have such a ZTE master again!

Fate is a thing, sometimes I really can't believe it!
Zhu Hongyu dismounted from the horse, supported Li Dingguo and He Wenxiu with his own hands, and then motioned for the others to level off.

"The generals are exempt!"

"Go to the city, I have set up a banquet for the heroes in the palace!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled He Wenxiu and Li Dingguo one by one, and went to Nanjing city together.

The well-trained guards blocked the road, and behind the human wall formed by the guards, countless people in Nanjing City joined in the fun to watch the victory of the army entering the city.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"..."

The neat mountain shouts resounded throughout the city of Nanjing. Following Yu Jia's movement, the mountain shouts came and went one after another.

Zhu Hongyu rode on horseback, waving to the crowd from time to time.

Every time it can set off a huge wave!

Behind him, the mighty Western Expedition army marched into the city.

They held their chests up, looked ahead, stepped on the drums, and took a neat step.

Armored, bayonets like a forest!

Very majestic!

Waves of mighty military power unscrupulously impacted the hearts of the people in Nanjing.
