I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Originally, Cheng Shijie's plan was for the Annan Army to move to Nan'an first and then to the store at the back. After all, facing the north, the environment was harsh, the land was barren, logistics and supplies were difficult, and more importantly, it was really difficult to fight.

However, any plan could not keep up with the changes. When Cheng Shijie captured Nanjing, he began to reform the country. The Mo Dynasty, which had been almost destroyed by the Li Dynasty, was captured by Zheng Qiao in the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625). Gao Ping captured and killed the Supreme Emperor Mo Jinggong and the Crown Prince Mo Chao, etc., and took them to Qinghua to be beheaded.Mo Guangzu Mo Jingkuan and his second son Mo Jingwan (named Mo Jingyu) escaped to the Ming Dynasty.

Under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the later Li Dynasty made Mo Jingkuan Taiwei and Tongguo Gong, and allowed him to return to Gaoping.From then on, the Mo Dynasty's military strength became even weaker and it paid tribute to the Hou Li Dynasty.Just when Cheng Shijie surrendered, Mo Jingyu directly proposed to surrender.

The southern part of Annan was quickly captured by the chieftain army. Of course, this war was not directly related to the Ming Dynasty. The chieftains from various places in the Ming Dynasty had always been unruly and often ignored the imperial orders.

But the problem is, Shen Mingyu is not a reckless man. Of course, he used to be reckless, but now he has learned to use his brain. No matter how powerful the Toungoo dynasty is, there is no way to kill all the three Xuanliu Weisi and their 160 seven chieftains. In Fuzhou, it doesn't matter even if all the chieftains are killed. Shen Mingyu can find anyone at random and let him serve as the chieftain of a certain landowner.

Just like Han Gai, the last Xuanwei envoy of Mu State, was killed as early as 1606, Shen Mingyu found a posthumous son of "Han Gai", Han Sizhong, to serve as Mu Bang's Xuan Wen Envoy and command Mu State. The chieftains of the state acted as the vanguard to kill the Dongyu Dynasty.

You must know that although Mubang and Taungyu have a feud, probably like Britain and France, they have fought for hundreds of years. However, Mubang's strength is too weak. Shen Mingyu is like the ten battalions of the Annan Army with more than [-] dwarfs. Directly assigned to the command of Han Sizhong, these dwarfs who have been training in Liaodong for nearly five years are very fierce.

Just when Mubang and Taungyu were fighting, the Annan Army began to send out troops, divided into six groups. One group started from Manmo, one group from Gengma, one group from Menglian, one group from Mengyang; one group from Yaoguan, one group from Menglin Depart from the village.

The Sixth Route Army set out, but Shen Mingyu took the lead. He directly bombarded the passes he encountered with rocket launchers and artillery, adopting a scorched earth offensive. In just ten days, the Sixth Route Army made very smooth progress.

Due to the existence of Sanxuan and Liuweisi, countless Ming people lived in Toungu. Especially during the She'an Rebellion, countless people fled south and entered Toungu. According to Ming historical records, hundreds of thousands of Ming people lived in the north. .

As the Sixth Route Army set off, wherever it went, local Ming people came to watch. Shen Ming met the commander-in-chief of the Annan Army and was very generous, allowing the Ming people to visit the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not easy for Ming people to live in Taungoo. The Taungoo people in this area are lazier than pigs. They are the most diligent and hard-working people. With these qualities, they can take root and spread their branches wherever they go. Hard-working hands create amazing wealth, but this ability does not bring them luck, but brings disaster.

The Toungoo people were jealous of them and hated them. The Dutch and Spanish were jealous of their abilities and coveted their wealth. The exclusion and massacre of the Ming people continued one after another.

In the past, the court was incompetent and responded indifferently, which made the people in front of them feel very insecure. No one knew when the Toungoo people would burst into their homes with bloody knives and steal half of their lives. The accumulated wealth and the killing of their wives, children and children are really uncomfortable.

Seeing the arrival of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, they immediately felt that they had something to rely on. Many Ming people pointed at these amazingly powerful cannons, and the majestic army proudly said: "The King's Army of the Ming Dynasty is here again! This day is what we have been waiting for." !”

Everywhere he went, Shen Mingyu would personally visit the elders of the local Ming people, talk to them cordially, and tell them everything that was happening in the country.

Shen Mingyu invited the local Ming people and gave a speech: "The Ming Dynasty is no longer the closed Ming Dynasty before. We came here this time just to carry out the order of the regent of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty has returned to its native land. The Annan Metropolitan Governor's Office will be established here, you just need to live here, don't be scared if you encounter people from Toungoo who are anti-Chinese, just go with them, the Imperial Royal Army will support you!"

Probably feeling that mere words were not enough to convince people, Shen Mingyu followed the Liaodong model and established working committee members (counties) and executive committee members (prefecture). He also encouraged the Ming people to establish militia organizations and distributed various captured weapons to the militiamen. As for Akito who wants to protect himself, he can also buy weapons. What is the price?It was almost free, and Shen Mingyu didn't make money from it.

Just when Shen Mingyu led the Annan Army to massacre all parties in the north, a total of 68 warships from four strike squadrons of the Luzon fleet arrived in the sea area of ​​​​Shalian, and Shalian translated "Sillian".A port city in southern Myanmar, located on the left bank of the Yangon River, across the river from Yangon.

The Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty arrived at Salian. As early as 30 years ago, the very famous Battle of Salian broke out here. Philippe de Brito, the Portuguese mercenary leader who occupied Salian, defeated the Arakan expeditionary army. In 1613, Anabilon defeated Salian during the siege of Salian and captured Brito.

However, due to the influence of the Portuguese, the Toungoo army here is very advanced in firearms, with more than 600 light warships, and nearly [-] troops stationed here.

Just when the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty arrived, Sha Lian's army fired cannonballs at the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. The one at the front of the entire fleet was a large scrapped sailboat bought from Xiyi with money. This sailboat was It belongs to the category of armed merchant ships. After more than a dozen artillery shells from the Sha Lian Army were fired, the large merchant ship was torn into pieces. Fires spewed out from the broken hull like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the deck and getting out of control...

Then the large-scale warships of the Luzon fleet arrived at Salian. Without saying a word, 68 warships launched a fierce bombardment at the forts, strongholds, and ports where the Salian army was stationed.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers, the Xiyi people and the Toungoo people, were fighting, their faces turned pale. Of course, the overseas Chinese here were also dumbfounded. Don't blame them. In this country, solid lead balls and chain bombs are commonly used as cannonballs to sink enemy ships. In the era when it was really hard to hit the target, just jump in and fight hand-to-hand. High-explosive bombs filled with nitrocellulose were simply Zenith star technology. They were all frightened by the terrifying destructive power of such explosions!
The bombardment of just half an hour felt like a century had passed to the Taungoo people. It was too long. Of course, the effect of this bombardment was still very good, because these cannons generally did not build reinforced concrete structures. The permanent fort is just a directly exposed cannon, and it is also a backward Hongyi cannon.

As the bombardment ended, hundreds of light warships appeared densely behind the Ming Dynasty Royal Fleet and rushed over, vaguely surrounding the Ming Royal Navy Lu Ship Fleet.

The Luzon fleet's strike squadron rushed forward without saying a word. The three-inch fleet and the four-inch fleet roared like thunder. Their rate of fire was astonishing, and their accuracy was frightening. They targeted the big guys and hit Taungoo. Without exception, the naval warships broke apart instantly and burst into flames. Countless people were killed on the spot. Those who were lucky enough not to be killed also jumped into the sea screaming and covered in fire. This time, the sharks and swordfish in the sea could What a feast.

The surviving Toungoo navy were frightened. They did not expect that after a long period of bombardment, the Ming Royal Navy's naval guns could still fire. They turned their bows and fled, but the Ming Royal Navy's warships did not respond. Instead of closing in, he filled up his sails and chased after them. They wanted to kill them all!
All the large ships of the Toungoo Navy had been blown up, and the few remaining small ships were not qualified to withstand the shells, so these 68 warships ran rampant, using their ramming angles to intercept and smash the unlucky small ships into two pieces one by one.

The warships of the Ming Navy were very fast, and the Toungoo Navy tried its best to outrun them, but was eventually surrounded by them. Yes, more than 300 naval light warships were surrounded by 68 warships!

The soldiers of the Ming army smiled ferociously and pushed the jet train onto the bow of the ship. Steel pipes stole 30-meter-long fire dragons at the terrified Toungoo navy. The screams of the Toungoo navy officers resounded through the sky. …

In the end, out of the more than 600 warships and tens of thousands of naval soldiers in the Toungoo Navy, only more than a thousand people were captured by the Ming army. Each of them chopped off their right thumb and put them back. The others were bombarded to shreds by naval cannons. The slag is burned into coke.

King Thalong belonged to the Toungoo dynasty. He was the seventh king of the Toungoo dynasty. In order to rule northern Myanmar, he moved the capital from Toungoo to Ava in the north. During his reign, he gave up the foreign expansion wars that wasted people and money. , committed to the recovery and development of the domestic economy and allocating land to landless farmers.

However, he did not launch a war, but found that the Ming Dynasty and Mu Bang were sweeping in like a flood. In order to deal with the Ming Dynasty and Mu Bang coalition forces, he had to mobilize a large army from the south. Before the southern army came to the north, the previous step had just begun. After withdrawing troops from Laos, Laos announced its independence from Taungoo's rule and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Talong knew very well that the influence of the Toungoo Dynasty was far less than that of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty was re-energized, he could only maintain the stability of the Toungoo Empire by defeating the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, he had to recall Sha Lian who was far away. Minyedepa.Minyedaipa was the son of Anabilon. He killed Anabilon, the sixth king of the country, in the first year of Chongzhen. Now Taungoo is in a state of divided rule between north and south.Historically, it took Talon four years to deal with the regicide Minyedepa. Now he had to compromise with Minyedepa. But the key to the problem is that as soon as Minyedepa arrived in Baiwa, he received a Bad news, Sha Lian was lost.

The Ming navy fleet attacked the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty without authorization because of the Sha Lian garrison, causing the merchant ships full of goods to be sunk. The Ming Royal Navy must use naval guns to protect the interests of the Ming Empire. I hope that King Talong can give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty.

Tell me, tell me about your grandma's legs.

The Ming army in the north is attacking like a wave, and they are less than two hundred miles away from Baiwa. The Ming Dynasty and Taungoo are already in a state of war, but they still have to explain it, what the hell.

But the problem is, Minyedepa doesn’t think so. Salian is his territory, and it is also the trade window for the Portuguese, Dutch and Spanish in Toungoo. Minyedepa can earn millions of taels per year by using Salian. Money, otherwise why would he support an army of more than 20 people?
Now that Shalian is gone, from Minyedepa’s point of view, it’s all Talon’s fault.
Minyedepa was also a ruthless man, so he turned around and headed in the direction of Salian. Back then, his father Anabilon could recapture Salian from the Portuguese, and he would certainly be able to do so.

However, after Minyedaipa led his army away, only Talong was left messy in the wind. At this time, rumors began to appear. It was said that hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were attacking in six directions. The situation was extremely unfavorable. .

……

Cheng Shijie's principle is that professional people do professional things. Cheng Shijie did not interfere too much in the war in Toungoo. However, his inspection in Annan was about to end. However, the problem was that at this time, Qin Liangyu convened the Lin'an Executive Committee military meeting.

Cheng Shijie was not allowed to participate in this meeting. Unlike the executive committees in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, Lin'an was obviously a very large executive committee. At last, all the members commanded more than [-] troops, and it was an obviously purely military executive committee called The Military Commission is more appropriate.

Qin Liangyu looked at the crowd and said, "I want to inform everyone that in seven days, the king is going to end his inspection of Annan and prepare to return!"

The committee members breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally we are leaving!"

The pressure that Cheng Shijie brought to them was not small. During this period, Cheng Shijie led the review team to investigate more than a dozen chieftains who took advantage of their power to oppress and harm the people, and directly beheaded them. If Cheng Shijie continues to investigate, who knows what will happen How many people are unlucky.

For chieftains, isn't it normal practice to bully, oppress, and persecute the people under their command?

Qin Liangyu continued: "It's time for us to attack the city!"

Shi Tianbao asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that we should keep the siege for two more months and wait until the monkeys in Annan are weak from hunger before attacking the city? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly and said, "We have no time!"

Shi Tianbao immediately understood that this was the rhythm to capture Shenglong City before Cheng Shijie left!
Qin Liangyu muttered: "Don't cry in mourning. Your Majesty came here with the Guards Brigade. If he leaves, the Guards Brigade will definitely leave. It's better to take advantage of the Guards Brigade to transport those artillery shells from the north. It's very Trouble, how can we let them go back with cannonballs again?"

Of course, Qin Liangyu wanted to use the artillery of the Guards Brigade to attack Shenglong City. This was done with Cheng Shijie's consent. Cheng Shijie agreed, and everything was easy to handle.

In fact, Cheng Shijie has also thought about this problem. The artillery regiment of the Guards Brigade brought four base numbers of artillery shells, and there were more than [-] vehicles transporting the artillery shells. When these vehicles returned, it was not a problem to load the artillery shells. Why? I also want to go back with Annan specialties.

Of course, this was just Cheng Shijie's idea. Even if he didn't bring one with him, Cheng Shijie's escort fleet would definitely return fully loaded.

In fact, Cheng Shijie's Guards Brigade is like a teaching corps. Many generals of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty were born in the Guards Brigade. In fact, the one with the highest official position is Wu Sheng.Allowing the Guards Brigade to participate in the war also gives the officers of the Guards Brigade an opportunity for promotion.

The Guards Brigade Artillery Regiment is different from other artillery regiments. It is only equipped with rocket launchers and is not equipped with three-inch cannons, nor is it equipped with four-inch cannons, nor is it equipped with five-inch cannons. Of course, the rocket launchers they are equipped with are among the most advanced in the Ming Dynasty. It is an advanced rocket launcher, and it is also a heavy rocket launcher, with a caliber of five inches, or 150 [-] mm, and a maximum range of [-] steps. Except for its lack of accuracy and slightly inferior power to the five-inch gun, everything else is just fine.

Because the most important duty of the Guards Brigade is to protect Cheng Shijie's safety.

140's four six-unit rocket launchers were divided into four bombardment groups, which kicked off the attack on Thang Long City. The rocket launchers also made a terrible whistling sound. The rocket launchers fired a group of 36 shells, one after another in the smoke eruption. It soared into the sky, pulling out a dazzling arc and plunged into Thang Long City, followed by a thunderstorm-like fierce and dense terrifying roar. Houses were razed to the ground, trees were either uprooted, or the crowns of the trees were ignited with fire. Transformed into a large torch.

For the Annan Army, these rocket launchers are even more terrifying than the Spanish or Dutch cannons. No matter how powerful the artillery shells are, they can only hit a small spot, but this thing covers a large area. Even if they are not killed on the spot, they will. Burnt to ashes by the fire caused by the explosion!
The bamboo-wood structure houses in Thang Long City were instantly ignited, turning into a sea of ​​flames. Unknown how many soldiers and civilians of Thang Long City were trapped in the fire, shouting and wailing in despair.

A group of elephants were frightened by the rocket fire. They fled in all directions, trampling countless soldiers of the Southern Monkey Army and screaming. The ones who were able to scream were actually lucky, because their injuries were not fatal, and countless unlucky ones were directly injured. His head was crushed and he couldn't even scream.

Of course, the Annan army would not sit still and wait for death. Their artillery was fighting back hard. Dozens of front-loading smoothbore guns and Franco machine guns purchased from the Portuguese at a high price opened fire at the same time. The firepower was dense and spectacular.

However, the comparison of firing speed between a front-loading smoothbore cannon and a rocket launcher is like comparing the length of a dwarf and a donkey. The difference is not 01:30. Whether it is range, power or accuracy, they are all very different. The shooting is earth-shattering, but it is absolutely huge. Most of the cannonballs flew all over the sky without even damaging a hair on the opponent.

The Annan gunners were so anxious that they burst into tears. They desperately increased the charge in order to hit farther. As a result, bomb explosion accidents occurred frequently, which caused them heavy casualties.

The rocket launcher was out of range and carried out coverage bombing on the Annan artillery. It exploded into a large area. The accuracy was actually not important. For shooting targets within a three-kilometer range, the rocket launcher's error was about 50 meters, which was very poor. But the problem was, The fire area formed by the range of incendiary bombs can have a radius of more than 100 meters.

Therefore, accuracy is actually not that important. (End of chapter)
