Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 761 Overwhelming Branches! ! !

Just as the French navy never fought against the British Royal Navy in all previous wars, the Beiyang navy of the Qing court could never compare with the brilliant achievements of the Ming navy. Messy planks, barrel wreckage, and swollen corpses of braided soldiers floating in the bubble ended up.

It's not just a matter of quantity, the combat experience that the Ming army has exchanged blood and lives at sea for so many years is not comparable to that of the landlubbers like the Qing army who stayed comfortably in the old dragon's head. The headlines of the major newspapers in Yingtian in August were only about how much the navy wiped out the Qing bandits.

However, the significance of this naval battle is not small. The second time Dorgon’s navy was eliminated, the sea control of the entire Northeast Asia was once again completely returned to the hands of the Ming army. Song Qingshu's old way of robbing the household registration catalog in the capital, since the Tianjin Wei landed, it can directly attack the defenseless capital.

You must know that the Bannermen who were relocated from Liaodong mainly lived in the capital. When you learned that the 12 to 8 Ming Army Navy was directly approaching your family, you can imagine the shock of the Eight Banners on the front line. In the Battle of Water, the Beifu soldiers seized the weakness of the former Qin army's unstable morale, and 98 people defeated [-]. Now the Qing army does not have the strength of Fu Jian, and the Ming army is several times stronger than the Beifu soldiers. Song Qingshu is determined Dorgon will not be allowed to withdraw so comfortably!

The outcome of the war seems to have been decided.

However, the biggest variable in the world is war. You will never know the result until the last moment.

Waters off Taipei, Diaoyu Islands.

Not only the plot of Song Qingshu’s previous life, but this is also the nearest island from the Okinawa chain to Taiwan. If this person and the Ryukyu Islands in the north are contained, the gate to the China Sea will be closed. The Ming army also set up cruises here. The sub-base also built fortresses and guards on it, clearly marking that this place belongs to China!

More than 300 years in advance, the descendants of the province will come again!
However, unlike in the past when the fleets cruising the East China Sea were congested at the port of Huiyu Bay, most of the fleets were transferred to the north for military operations. There was nothing else in the port except for three ten-meter patrol boats to communicate with Taipei City for supplies. ship.

Now, after all, it has not yet been over-exploited resources, and when every inch of resources is contested, it is actually quite far away from the main shipping route, and it is possible to inspect Japanese smuggling ships to and from the Taiwan Strait. There are not many such cases in a year. The Shimao Ming army is really very leisurely.

After finishing the morning drill, Xu Huo listlessly climbed up to the fortress of the fortress that was a few meters higher in the west, and looked eastward.

Unlike the ordinary Ming army, Xu Huhu did not enlist in the army, but was dispatched with some punitive nature. He was born in Wu Sangui Guanning iron cavalry. He was seriously injured and captured in the Poyang Lake battle. After being treated by the Ming army field hospital, he was dispatched to this island.

However, this Tiger Xu is not isolated from the world. Following Wu Sangui's army, his two brothers from Liaodong also went to Huguang, and he himself married a wife and had children in Huguang. The advance of the Ming army not only did not bring suffering to these people's lives, It seems to have improved a little bit. With the opening of the Songhan Railway, his second brother Xu Laocan has found some business. He transported some local products from the Huguang Mountains and sold them to Songjiang. These local products are not only those from Jiangnan Fushen, even those foreigners with red noses are very interested.

Just last month, Xu Laocan sent a letter, asking him to get to know more ship owners and cargo owners before retiring, and then sell Miao family's rice wine and Anhua's black tea to Nanyang, and he can earn even more some more.

But Xu Huhu didn't have such great ambitions. In his whole life, he fought Jiannu, Dashun with Jiannu, and Daming with Wu Sangui. He didn't know how many bloody storms came, and he was tired.

Before guarding the Diaoyu Islands base, he had been on duty in Borneo for a period of time as a patrol soldier. He could see the development there. I plan to retire, answer the day to pick up my wife and children, and then move to Borneo, buy more land, and run a plantation of my own, far away from the turbulent Central Plains, and live a happy life like the ancient sages and sages life outside the world.

Whenever he thinks of this, Xu Huhu's scarred face is full of expectations.

As usual, staring at the endless sea in a daze, just when Xu Huhu thought about the beauty, he slapped him impatiently on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

"Old Luo, go yourself! I don't want to work my life with my head on my belt anymore!"

Turning around, Xu Huhu spread his hands hysterically.

This old Luo is also from Guanning Iron Cavalry, but he is obviously more restless than Xu Huhu. After his service in Daming expires, he is full of ambitions and wants to go to Tianzhu, where he can recruit mercenaries anytime and anywhere. Conflicts with the surrounding states, While making this career full of dangers, the rewards are also extraordinarily rich. This guy has no wife and no children, so he wants to make a career out of it.

But if it was normal, this guy would probably sell insurance to the army again. That Li Dazui seemed to be talking a lot, but today, listening to Xu Huhu's helpless voice, he always maintained a pair of eyes like copper bells. look, pointing to the sea level behind him with both hands.

"Boat! Ship! Ship!"

"Did you have a fucking demon? The fleet has gone north, and it hasn't been half a year, so you can't come back!"

Cursing impatiently, Xu Huhu turned his head subconsciously, but immediately, he was also stunned. Countless sails suddenly appeared from the west on the sea level that was empty just now. Looking from a distance, some of them The rice-shaped flag has come into view.

While the two were in a daze, below the castle, the big bell and gong for emergency assembly had already sounded together, and the mournful cry of their captain of the guard rang out.

"Fan boat attack!!!"

…………

After half an hour.

The warships of these western powers did not directly attack the Diaoyu Fort, but in Huiyu Bay below the castle, the flames engulfed the ship's wood and made a crackling sound of burning, and puffs of black smoke shot straight into the sky. After a brief shelling, the three patrols All the small boats were sunk, looking at the countless warships of various powers on the sea level passing by like crucian carp crossing the river, Xu Huhu's teeth were gritted, and his eyes were as red as blood. .

His family members are all in Yingtian!

Almost at the same time, Hongze's Qing army entered the camp.

A squadron went upstream from the mouth of the Huaihe River and bombarded Xuzhou. At the same time, the entire army of the Nankou Bay Navy was wiped out, and a large number of fleets moved northward.

"Master, withdraw the troops!"

Sonny, Ebilong, Sukesaha, and Longkodo, all the Manchu and Han ministers knelt on the ground, and the great scholar Fan Wencheng also kowtowed anxiously with sweat on his forehead.

"The capital is empty. Once the Ming people landed from Zhigukou, the capital is unstoppable! The capital falls, I am cut off from the center, the grain is in short supply, the local distance is lost, and it will be over by then!"

At this time, Dorgon's smooth forehead was also covered with beads of sweat the size of pea grains, and his gaze swept across the faces of the ministers who kowtowed like garlic, but he seemed to have lost his reputation. Like an eye-catching gambler, he cursed viciously.

"What are you panicking about? Isn't it just a capital? Taizu's thirteen sets of armor set up troops, how hard can it be to be sad at that time?"

"Master, the Song bandits are indeed sitting in the army now, and the Ming army on the opposite side has as many as 50 million. It will be useless for our army to attack again. Once the capital is lost..."

Sony was trembling and before he could finish speaking, Dorgon interrupted him furiously.

"You also know that the Ming army has more than 40! The artillery boat in Xuzhou bombarded, and the Ming Gouzi charged behind, and everything was over!"

Not only the Han people read history, but the Manchus also knew about the Feishui War. They were scolded by Dorgon together, and a large group of Manchu and Han ministers stayed on the ground again. After a while, it was Dorgon's sinister laughter that broke the silence.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

All the wives, big and small, are in the capital. If they are taken down by the Ming army, they will all be gone. At this time, the big guy is in the mood to cry, and Dorgon is still laughing and trembling for a long time, and Sony is trembling just now. He took the lead in asking again.

Finally he stopped laughing, but Dorgon still looked towards the south with a cold expression on his face, and hummed disdainfully.

"Fortunately, the Song thief was still yelling in the newspaper, saying that this is a world war. At this time, he himself forgot that this is a world war! He snatched the big island in Nanyang, offended the Netherlands, and offended Tianzhu Mughals and France, now the Southern Barbarian fleet is all going north, and his entire southeast coast is empty!"

"We can't fight Yingtian, we have our own allies who can fight Yingtian! When the time comes, Song Barbarian retreats, and it's our turn to follow and kill! Back then, the Wanyan Wushu of the Dajin Kingdom stopped in the Yangtze River, and today I am too much Ergun is about to accomplish what his ancestors failed to do, drink horses to the Yangtze River, and make him unable to do even the Southern Song Dynasty, hahahaha!"

"An order from each army, those who dare to make false comments will be executed! Hold the front line, this king will fight to the death with him, the barbarian of Song Dynasty!"

…………

The spirit was already extremely excited, no matter how far the Manchu and Han ministers left the military tent, they could still hear Dorgon's nervous roar, but unlike their master who was full of hope, all the Manchu and Han ministers were listless.

Regardless of whether what Dorgon said is true or not, the capital has already been included in the ranks of abandonment. The big guy’s family and property are all in the capital. This trip to the south is to rob money. If you snatch it, you have to pay for your own property first. Today's Manchen is not as poor as when Nurhachi's thirteen sets of armor raised his troops. Everyone is heavy-hearted.

Among them, Fan Wencheng's expression was the strangest. With a gloomy face, he hurried out of the tent. He looked south from time to time. Unexpectedly, bursts of curses from the barracks came into his ears.

"Stealing things? Ah! You lowly Han dogs! How dare you steal things, I will kill you!" The arrow piercing camp was second only to beheading. More than 20 Qing soldiers were pierced through their ears by arrows, tied their hands, and staggered. Some were driven forward, and behind them, several warlords were holding whips and screaming at the scolders, beating them non-stop.

Even if the military uniforms are the same, Fan Wencheng can tell from the scolding that the sinking of the Beiyang Navy is not just a disadvantage in naval battles. When the Mongolian cavalry has not threatened the supplies of the Ming army, the fleet of the Ming people is solid. Now that the Grand Canal was blocked, the Qing army's supply direction was only left in the severely disaster-stricken Henan area. It was originally a light-packed expedition, but now it is even less food and grass.

The only resources are given priority to the Mongols, and even the Manchus have fallen to the first level, and the Han army who rushes to the forefront every day and is used as cannon fodder receives the least supplies!

Fan Wencheng has seen this kind of situation all his life, starting from following Nurhachi, and then experienced the appalling massacre in Liaodong. At first he thought his heart was as strong as steel, but now watching this scene, he still feels extraordinarily dazzling.

"Old! Old!"
