Chapter 127 Here Comes Again

Battle of Nanchang.

The Ming army won an unprecedented victory.

More than 1 people were killed on the battlefields of the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion and the Packed Army.

All the rest surrendered.

In addition, Qianlong didn't even dare to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, he crossed the north of the Yangtze River by boat and stayed in Yangzhou temporarily, terrified and afraid to look south.

at the same time.

Zhu Daohua, who had just walked into Nanchang City, got the news.

The railway from Nanxiong Prefecture to Nanzhuangfu has been completed!

The first batch of [-] iron-framed wooden-hulled steamships has been transported to Nanzhuang Mansion by rail, and the assembly has been completed, and they will go down the Ganjiang River and arrive in Nanchang in a few days.

Zhu Daohua was overjoyed when he got the news.

You can order the establishment of the Yangtze River Navy, use the Yangtze River Navy to sweep the waterways of the Yangtze River, drive the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing Army to the north bank, and force it to burn the warships.

As a result, the main channel of the Yangtze River was firmly controlled by the Ming army.

Through water transportation, the Ming army dispatched ten brigades of about 4 people to deploy defenses along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The Jiangning camp of the Qing army stationed in Jiangning did not dare to move rashly, and Qianlong, who had just fled to Yangzhou, also had physical problems. Even if the confrontation on the Internet has come to an end.

The two sides need to recuperate, accumulate strength, and prepare for the next round of confrontation and war.

On the one hand, Qianlong had to consider eliminating the impact of the defeat, and on the other hand, he also had to worry about the Ming army directly crossing the Yangtze River and marching northward.

On the other hand, Zhu Daohua is considering taking all of the south first, especially Jiangnan. The flames of war must not spread in Jiangnan and damage the economic environment of Jiangnan. On the other hand, he must consider how to deal with Zhejiang, Hubei, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Large and small group training in the four provinces.

Judging from the information sent by Jin Yiwei.

After these local tyrants who controlled the place got power—or bought power from Qianlong.

That's a really big hit.

He took a lot of money.

Payback is certain.

Many even got rich.

So it is absolutely impossible to make King Zhu Ming hold his nose and admit the things that these regiments have scooped up.

Otherwise, the wealth of these four provinces will belong to these local tyrants and evil gentry.

Both sides are a myriad of things to deal with.

for a while.

The two sides temporarily centered on Jiangning Mansion, and the Qing army relied on Jiangning City, Zhenjiang, Jiangyin and other fortresses to confront the Ming army.

The Southern Bingfeng paused.

Now the whole of China is still at war.

Only the Heavenly King Army of Liu Zhixie, who was besieging Hanzhong Mansion, was left.

"Judging from the information from the front, it is only a matter of time before Liu Zhixie's Heavenly King Army breaks through Hanzhong, and then they will enter Shaanxi and Gansu from Hanzhong, intending to use Chang'an as their capital."

Standing on the bow of the boat with Zhu Daohua was Gong Zhuman, the commander of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Daohua had just returned after inspecting the situation on the Jiangning front line. The conclusion of the on-the-spot investigation was that it was not realistic to rely on traditional methods to break through Jiangning City.

So Zhu Daohua is already making two-handed preparations.

On the one hand, let Guangdong make larger caliber cannons to ensure a long enough range and power to bombard the strong star forts on the outskirts of Jiangning City and deal with the last and tallest main city of Jiangning City.

After all, the city was once the Yingtianfu of Nanjing during the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it was also an important hub city for the Qing Dynasty to rule the south.

The defense system is not comparable to a small city like Ganzhou.

The Qing army deployed quite a few cannons here.

Although they are all cast iron cannons.

But relying on the city defense system, these cannons can still exert great power.

Zhu Daohua didn't want to fill up this fortified city with his life.

So another way to prepare is to plan for a political solution.

If it was stated that the Qing and Qing parties wanted to strike a truce, then there should indeed be a negotiation—Zhu Daohua also wanted to ensure that Qianlong would not jump over the wall in a hurry and destroy the rich places such as Jiangning Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion in the flames of war.

Therefore, when returning to Nanchang this time, Zhu Daohua also summoned important ministers in Guangzhou to come together.

There is a railway connecting Nanxiong Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture. Through waterways, railways, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and even the connection with Jiangnan will become much closer.

The people who moved to Nanchang this time included the important ministers of the entire Ming cabinet.

If you win Jiangnan.

Then Guangzhou is not suitable as a capital.

Jiangning Mansion, Nanjing Yingtian Mansion in the former Ming Dynasty will become the official capital of Ming Dynasty—this can be regarded as returning to the old capital.

In addition, the role of Guangzhou will not decline because of this.

Guangdong is a pioneer in developing colonies in Southeast Asia and the southern mainland.

Therefore, the role of Guangzhou is equally important.

In Zhu Daohua's vision, the future Ming Dynasty will have Yingtian Mansion in the central capital, Yanjing Mansion in the northern capital, and Guangzhou Mansion in the southern capital.

The southern capital opens up the southern hemisphere, and the north must deal with northern Russia. At least Manchuria must be firmly controlled in its hands-this is an important granary for the red dynasty in later generations, and no matter what, the outer northeast must be controlled together, and immigrants from the Central Plains will be settled. Developed from one of the best black soils in the whole world.

Withdrawing his thoughts from his future plans, Zhu Daohua refocused his attention on the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The most important thing right now is to get all the beards and tails in the south of the Yangtze River first, and to prevent the White Lotus Sect bandits from turning their heads and facing Hubei and Hunan. They must be driven out of Sichuan.

"Using Chang'an as the capital? Now Qinchuan, which is thousands of miles away, can still support an overlord?"

Zhu Daohua shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhixie's envoy has arrived in Guangzhou, do you want to meet?"

Zhu Daohua shook his head when he heard the words: "You don't need to see me, what is the Heavenly King Army, just a bunch of rogues. Let him go back and tell Liu Zhixie that the lonely king can allow him to lead troops into Guanzhong, but Sichuan can't give it to him. If he wants to occupy Sichuan , the lonely king sent an army of one hundred thousand to drive him away himself!"

For Zhu Daohua.

A group of rogues who have entered the Guanzhong do not need to be concerned for the time being.

But Sichuan cannot be occupied by this group of rogues no matter what.

In fact, the land of Sichuan was not occupied by the White Lotus Sect.

Because the White Lotus Sect was fighting against bandits, except for Chengdu Mansion, they basically swept away the population and wealth of other places.

In Chengdu, there are more than 1 Sichuan Green Battalions stationed, and there is also the Sichuan Army Corps formed after Dong Gao arrived in Sichuan, so it has not been breached yet, but the towns and counties around Chengdu have all been mowed down by the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, in the Chengdu Plain in Sichuan, except for Chengdu City, the land outside is in a state of "ownerless".

Hit so much.

Zhu Daohua happened to be short of land rewards.

The landlords in Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and Sichuan were all killed by the White Lotus Sect.

And it took away a lot of people.

There is a lot of free land.

These lands are the greatest wealth.

Therefore, Zhu Daohua would never allow the White Lotus Sect to stay in Sichuan, they had to go.

Otherwise he doesn't mind driving it away by force.

Zhu Daohua's wooden-hulled iron-clad steamboat sailed up the Ganjiang River, skimming heavy sails—the steamship had plenty of power, and its speed was faster than the sailboats going down the river to deliver supplies and ammunition to the Ming army on the Jiangning front.

soon.

The steamship rumbled close to the Ganjiang wharf in Nanchang, Zhu Daohua got off the boat, Luo Fangbo, Gu Song, Qian Heng, Song Xiang, Ye Daoqi, Zhao Si, Zhang Hong, Napoleon and other civil and military ministers were already on the wharf to greet him .

Wait for Zhu Daohua to get off the boat.

All the ministers came up to greet him one after another.

Luo Fangbo, as Prime Minister, personally led the horse for King Ming.

When all the ministers followed Zhu Daohua towards Nanchang City.

Luo Fangbo took out a playlist.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, you have defeated the Qing Dynasty in northern Jiangxi, and the south of the Yangtze River is about to belong to the Ming Dynasty. Now all the ministers hope that you can go further."

Zhu Daohua took the playlist and looked at it.

Basically, the ministers whose names he remembered were listed above.

This is persuasion.

I have been here once before in Guangzhou.

Now in Nanchang again.

Um.
Wait until Jiang Ning comes again.

Is it in line with the rules?
Zhu Daohua thought.

"Turn into a brother, you're awake."

When Chen Huacheng woke up, he saw Chen Liansheng's black face.

He struggled to get up, but found that his ankle hurt.

"Don't, don't, the bone in your ankle is broken. I've seen the doctor. It will take at least ten days and a half months before you can get out of bed with crutches."

Chen Liansheng said.

"You are also lucky. If the bomb was closer, even the gods would not be able to save it. Moreover, our army was cleaning up the battlefield at that time. The corpses of the Qing army that we encountered were basically filled with bayonets first. I heard that but you On a bomb crater, part of it was buried by soil, so it was not discovered."

I heard Chen Liansheng rambling.

Chen Huacheng stared at the canvas above his head.

"This is where?"

"This is a field hospital on the outskirts of Nanchang. Many wounded soldiers are transported here to recuperate."

Chen Liansheng said.

"Have you joined the Ming army now?" Chen Huacheng asked.

"Hey, it's not so easy. You have to wait for the expansion of the army to recruit troops. I'm hired here to help." Chen Liansheng said.

Chen Huacheng nodded and fell silent.

Noticed the injury on his right ankle.

The bone is broken in this place, and even if it is cured, it will be a lame man.

I think Chen Huacheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is familiar with military books.

Now with lame results.

Think of this.

I can't help feeling sad.

"Turn into brothers, this is fate, there is no way. But you have read the book, you are not afraid that there will be no way out. I heard from a military master of the Ming army that Enke will be promoted in Nanchang City soon, and scholars will be recruited as officials to turn into brothers." He is from Fujian, maybe he can get an official position in Fujian."

There was a gleam of light in Chen Huacheng's gloomy eyes.

"I'm lame, can I still take the exam?"

"Should be able to. If you haven't heard of lameness, you can't participate. Moreover, you can ride a horse and operate a musket as a brother. These are great advantages."

Chen Liansheng said.

"Thank you Brother Liansheng for your guidance, Huacheng is very grateful." Chen Huacheng said.

"Hey, why are you talking about this? We are also fallen people in the world." Chen Liansheng said.

"Brother Lian Sheng, what are your plans?"

"Me? I want to go to Guangzhou."

"To Guangzhou?"

"Yes, I'm going to take the military academy exam."
