Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 549 Zheng He's Legacy

Now the two armies are in a game, no matter the Ming army or the Dutch-Spanish allied army, they are all putting the last sliver of force they can squeeze into the battlefield. In Song Qingshu's hands, even the personal soldiers are thrown in, even the preparation of a battalion. There was no team left. At this time, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to have such a Cheng Yaojin behind him.

At this time, Xiao Bao was hesitantly clasping his fists together.

"Marshal, you should evacuate quickly! The green hills left behind are there, so I don't worry if there is no firewood. The general will support you here. You should go!"

"Commander, Yong Zhong is willing to lead the forward army to stop the barbarians, please retreat quickly, Commander!" Song Yongzhong also said dullly beside him.

This time, he lost the bet. At this moment, Song Qingshu had the feeling that the later Napoleon looked at the burning Moscow city. The feeling of falling short was biting his heart like a poisonous snake, and he was silent for a few seconds. He finally nodded.

"Head of Song Army, you lead the frontline army to cover the field hospital and withdraw the wounded first, and send someone to order Master Huang to shrink the defensive circle, move a battalion to the side, and try to hold it back!"

"The last will obey!"

Several generals agreed neatly, Song Qingshu's prestige in the army was obviously high, even if it was to give him time to escape, no one frowned, but after sending away several people, Song Qingshu suddenly blushed. His eyes caught Xiao Bao's collar.

"Xiao Bao, are you afraid of death?"

"Return to Commander, you picked up Xiaobao, your life is yours, Xiaobao is not afraid of death!"

"Very good, gather the guards and enter the city with Lao Tzu. I want to see what is left, which is impenetrable and has not been captured until now!"

Just now he was full of spirit of sacrifice and planned to stick to it, but Song Qingshu's words made Xiaobao almost roll down the hillside. Regardless of him, more than a dozen other staff officers and officers also knelt down in horror.

"Big guy!"

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind! Anyone who dares to speak too much will be executed on the spot!"

Holding the gun, Song Qingshu directly stretched out his hand and knocked his horse down. He was really unwilling and threw six divisions here in one go. Never had someone Song ever done such a loss-making business.

However, this is not his head. Why did Napoleon lose quickly after conquering Russia? On the one hand, the army lost too much. On the other hand, Napoleon was not a leader when he retreated. Let the other troops be cannon fodder in the back, and the whole heart is scattered.

Song Qingshu is very confident about the combat effectiveness of the begging army. With him, the morale of the five divisions in the city will not be scattered. , the entire begging army will not lose hope of progress.

But at this tense moment, the little yellow-haired William next to him suddenly seemed to go crazy, and pointed backwards laughingly.

"My own! It's my own!"

"What the hell are you going crazy about?" Xiaobao was so angry at first, he simply kicked his international friend's buttocks, and rolled him up the side of the road, but even if he was rolled all over, after getting up, This guy was still screaming excitedly like a lunatic.

"It's really my own! My own! If you don't believe me, take a look!"

"what……"

He was so angry that he opened his mouth to curse, but Song Qingshu suddenly stopped Xiaobao, and immediately raised his binoculars to look over, and he also shook in disbelief.

The army rolling forward became clearer. It was indeed all in the costumes of the natives. However, among the natives, there were cavalrymen riding horses and wearing Ming army armor. Most of the banners erected were one word.

"Bright!"

God knows how so many natives came here, but at this juncture, Song Qingshu can only think of one person, Hong Chengchou!

…………

The battle situation really turned 180 degrees. Suddenly, countless natives swarmed out from the flanks of the Dutch mercenaries who were fighting with the Fengyang Fifth Division on the hillside, and there were even more of them. The equipment and training were superior to those of their beggar army. After fighting hard for a long time, it was hot and tiring. With such an extra fresh army, even if many natives took clubs, they would still make the Dutch retreat step by step.

Especially in this Turkish army, there is actually a Chinese general who wields a big knife weighing tens of kilograms like a windmill. When they came across, they went there, and several others were cut in half, and their intestines and stomachs flowed all over the floor.

After a wave of tenacity passed, even the Dutch mercenaries finally collapsed under this blow, shouting in horror, throwing away their helmets and armor and fleeing to the sea, it would be the courage of soldiers, and it seems that these ghosts are really scared on weekdays. The bullying became more serious, and the morale of the Dagu Tu army became even higher, and they actually chased and killed them to the seaside, chasing and beating them!
Cheng Yaojin, who threatened the rear, was killed and retreated, and the battlefield situation was completely reversed to the side of the Ming army. Song Qingshu couldn't stay in the headquarters anymore, so he simply brought his own soldiers to the city to supervise the battle directly.

The bloody battle lasted for a whole day, the setting sun was like blood, and the beach full of corpses was shining red. The Manila Governor's Mansion and Baroque villas were almost completely destroyed by gunfire at this time, densely packed with corpses In the center of the square, the exhausted Scarface kicked away the Spanish sergeant who was still holding on to the flagpole, and slashed over, the tall Spanish flag crashed down, Manila, take it down!
On the seashore, after all, the equipment is not of the same level, and the native army also killed a thousand people, but the Dutch mercenaries were repelled by them. When they came, the densely packed landing ships were a lot looser, and they stood out for the Spaniards. They killed and wounded more than 3000 geese and stayed in Manila Bay.

On the surface of the sea, the Spanish Armada suffered heavy damage again, with four ships sunk, and the Dutch fleet sank three ships, but this time Shi Lang didn't get too much money. As it slowly sank, the Dutch's Hongyi cannon was not a vegetarian. After a day of artillery battle, the other ships were also heavily scarred. The loss this time was even heavier than the battle with Zheng Zhilong.

However, Manila is completely in the hands, as is Luzon. This tentacle that went deep into the sea has finally returned to Ming, and its surname is Song. They are not good, and it will become easier to fight against them in the future.

After the war, it was very busy. In the Governor's Mansion in Manila, the Spanish colonel who stayed behind was desperate and put all the remaining troops and weapons on the front that was less than a few miles away. Thousands of people fell down in this square alone. It is no wonder that Scarface fought so hard. The medical team organized by Yu'er was almost busy hitting the back of the head. Thousands of wounded needed treatment.

Fortunately, the natives have their own witch doctor, no matter how good their medical skills are, it can save a lot of medical resources for the beggar army, which is also good. After the subordinates are settled here, Song Qingshu hurriedly went there to have a look. In his stomach, But there are too many doubts, just riding a horse to the beach, a burly man covered in blood suddenly came to meet him.

"General Song, long time no see!"

Seeing this person, Song Qingshu cupped his fists excitedly: "Lord Lu, you are still alive, that's great!"

Being so brave, on the South Island, there is really no one else except Lu Xiangsheng. Before the two of them exchanged greetings, Hong Chengchou rushed over complaining again.

"Song Xiaoyou, Song Xiaoyou, you really made a fool of me. When I saw Marshal Lu, I was so frightened that I almost fell off my horse! I thought I saw a ghost! You are hiding so deep!"

"By the way, this is Madan Gelu, the second prince of Sulu Kingdom! This is General Pingliao, Marshal Song, the left governor of the Chinese Army's governor's mansion!"

Following Hong Chengchou's introduction, the young man in white robes covered with gold and silver jewelry and feathers beside him bowed respectfully to Song Qingshu, and chattered a lot of incomprehensible birdsong.

…………

In this war, Song Qingshu should be most grateful to Zheng He hundreds of years ago!

In fact, the power of the Spaniards and the Dutch colonists was exaggerated by Song Qingshu's imagination. The Spaniards only occupied Luzon Island, and other places in the Philippine Islands still existed in the Sulu Kingdom that Zheng He visited when he went to the West, and the hard-core brothers of the American devils in later generations. It’s different, these days Sulu embraces the thighs of the Ming Dynasty. During the Yongle period, the kings of the family even paid homage to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The last king died in Dezhou, and the Ming Dynasty was buried with the royal ceremony.

The West India Company is armed, and there is Lu Xiangsheng, the backbone of a general. When the Spaniards massacred again, Lu Xiangsheng led about three or four thousand Chinese people and killed a bloody road. The good left by Zheng He back then My impression is that when they fled to Southern Luzon, the Sulu Kingdom sent boats to take these Han people out. This month, Hong Chengchou also strengthened ties with the Sulu Kingdom and encouraged the Sulu Kingdom and Ming to attack the Spaniards together. This was the scene in Manila.

After a disaster, the entire Spanish royal city was reduced to ruins, but the powerful mobilization power of the bourgeoisie was revealed. Song Qingshu immediately brought in countless supplies from the northern Ming Dynasty, and three thousand surviving Han people also returned one after another. Co-authoring more than 2 guard soldiers and more than 1 production and development corps, the revival of Manila has been revived, and the entire urban area is a hot construction site.

Exploitation can be addictive, that’s right, after more than a year of farming in Manila, Lu Xiangsheng also fell in love with this land, and his whole family was tricked by Song Qingshu to Luzon, and he took off his military uniform , No one would have thought that this former first-rank official of the imperial court could roll up his sleeves and carry wood and bricks like a migrant worker. He just came in from the barracks outside the city. Looking at this scene, Song Qingshu couldn't believe it.

But before Song Qingshu was dumbfounded and wanted to call this former boss over, Hong Chengchou, who had changed his place of work in the direction of the Governor's Mansion in Manila, also rushed towards this direction with a bitter face. Amnesty jumped out of the carriage.

"Song Xiaoyou, the one from Jingzhou is here!"
