The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 742 Daming's Basic Disk (seeking a reward)

From the current point of view, in the east, no country has the ability to threaten the security and core interests of Daming itself!

Even if those countries are united together, it won't work!
This is the Central Plains Dynasty, the absolute dominance over the entire East Asia at its peak after the completion of the unification of the Celestial Kingdom.

Therefore, the current Ming Dynasty's need for shipbuilding is actually not that urgent.

Unless Zhu Hongyu has rectified the land of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom, North Korea, Annan, Western Regions, plateaus, grasslands and other areas have all been tidied up properly.

Ming Dynasty is ready to expand to the west of Malacca, and even to the Americas!

At that time, it is the time when Daming really needs to go all out to make dumplings and build ships!
From the current point of view, Daming's navy is enough!

In comparison, it is the Ming army that needs a large-scale military expansion.

The current Ming Army is the one that is really stretched and needs to expand its army and increase its military expenditure.

Who told Ming Dynasty to be a continental country, not a maritime country like Britain? !

The future of Daming may lie in the ocean!

However, the foundation of Ming Dynasty lies on the mainland!

Daming can lose the ocean, and after losing the ocean, in terms of the size of Daming, at most it will decline.

With the mainland basically present, Daming is still the celestial kingdom that has dominated the East for thousands of years!
But Daming can't lose the mainland. After losing the mainland, it means the country's subjugation for Daming!

After the Jiashen national disaster, the fall of Ming Dynasty is still before our eyes!
For this point, Zhu Hongyu has always had a very deep and clear understanding.

……

Zhangjiakou!
At this time, the outside of Zhangjiakou City was already littered with corpses.

The open space outside the city was filled with corpses in different costumes.

Remnants of limbs and arms, broken flesh and internal organs are all over the floor, and the blood has already gathered into a stream.

Even the land outside the city has been soaked into soft blood mud!
The grass, trees, etc. outside the city have become bare under the gnawing of the horses, cattle and sheep driven by the Mongolian army.

Due to the hot weather in summer, the corpses piled up under the city even showed signs of decay.

The smell of rancidity pervades the city, inside and outside the city!
The soldiers of the Ming army even started to wear masks when they went to the city to defend the city.

Because the smell is too pungent!
Lu Li leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep.

The injury on his body is almost healed, but if he exercises vigorously, he will still feel the pain faintly.

But for a battle-hardened elite soldier, this is nothing!
There was a puddle of blood on the wall next to him, and there were still pieces of meat mixed in the cracks of the wall. Since the battlefield was not cleaned up, the remaining things had already turned black and smelly.

Flies are constantly rising and falling on it, making a buzzing sound.

Especially annoying!

But this does not disturb the rest of a veteran.

After more than ten consecutive days of fighting, the fighting was too fierce. The Mongols' attack on Zhangjiakou was quite fierce.

Just by looking at the mountains of corpses outside the city, one can know how difficult this battle was.

On Daming's side, experienced sentry cavalry like Lu Li was already needed, and when they came to the city, they were used as ordinary soldiers.

Wei Wuduan sat in the gate tower, counting the number of casualties on his side.

He looked at the thick stack of casualty reports in his hand, which needed to be signed, and his face was not very good-looking.

After more than ten days of fighting, Zhangjiakou's [-] defenders were all wounded.

The number of war dead exceeds two hundred, and the number of seriously injured is even more than the number of war dead.

It is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the casualties!

Now that the battle has reached this level, Daming has begun to let young and strong civilians go to the battlefield to take over some less important positions.

If it weren't for Daming's strict military law, and Xuanda's side sent news that reinforcements were about to arrive, Wei Wu even suspected that Zhangjiakou might not be able to hold on anymore.

After all, the strength of the two sides is too disparate!
Wei Wu put down the documents in his hand and strode up to the city wall.

He began to patrol the walls, cheering up the soldiers below.

Seeing Wei Wu approaching, many Ming soldiers resting on the wall got up from the ground and saluted him.

The fist hit the breastplate, and the iron armor clanged.

Many civilian men wearing the armor captured by the Ming Dynasty also saluted along with these soldiers.

In order to minimize casualties, civilian husbands were also required to put on armor when they went to the city to help in the battle!
Although it is only cotton armor, it still has a certain protective effect on the Mongolian hunting bow.

……

At the same time, outside the city of Zhangjiakou, the Mongolian Camp!
Burni looked at the Zhangjiakou Fort at the end of his line of sight, his eyes full of cold killing intent.

The onslaught for more than ten consecutive days brought nothing to the Mongols except countless corpses and casualties!
Burnie was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

If you can't move, you can't move!

This is an objective fact that will not be changed by Burni's anger.

However, he is not reconciled to letting Burni bypass Zhangjiakou.

My own Mongolian Khan invaded the Central Plains, but in the first battle, I got a full head.

What a bad start!
He also said that he would capture Dadu and bring the Mongols back into the Central Plains.

As a result, even Zhangjiakou was beaten for more than ten days and couldn't be beaten. Isn't this slapping him in the face of the Mongolian Khan?

Therefore, it is not because Burni is unwilling to bypass Zhangjiakou, a fortified city, and just find a place to break through and enter the Great Wall to plunder.

But he can't!
Even without considering the rear of the army.

His Mongolian Khan is hung here.

After more than ten consecutive days of onslaught, the casualties of all ministries were very serious, and the people below were raging.

If Zhangjiakou can't be breached to prove his ability of Burni, then the position of Burni, the Mongolian Khan, may be unstable.

Although the Golden Family has a huge influence on the grassland!

However, Burni is not the only descendant of the gold family!

It is not necessary for him!
Not to mention, Burni's younger brother Luo Buzang is now in the army!

The two of them are dear brothers!

For the people below, as long as they are members of the Golden Family, who will do this?
Burni no longer dared to hope to take over the capital, sweep the Northland, and revive the glory of the Great Yuan.

Now he only hopes that he can capture Zhangjiakou, loot Zhangjiakou, and lead the team back to the grassland smoothly.

Don't make any more fools!
Burni looked at Zhangjiakou in the distance, his eyes squinted, just as he was thinking about the method of attacking the city.

His younger brother Luo Buzang came to Burni on horseback.

"Brother, the latest statistics of our army's casualties have been released. It's really too miserable. Why don't we withdraw our troops!"

Luo Bu hid beside Burni, got off his horse, and said courageously.

Because, the current casualties of the Mongolian army are too miserable!

After more than ten days of offensives, the casualties were at least 4000!

The corpses are almost filling up Zhangjiakou!
The chiefs of the various tribes are now very dissatisfied with Burni.

If it weren't for the prestige of the Jin family, plus they are now the offensive side, and Burni continued to recruit various cavalry from the grassland near Zhangjiakou to supplement the losses.

I'm afraid the Mongolian army can't fight anymore!
