The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Wherever Zhu Hongyu passed, almost all the prisoners of war knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Zhu Hongyu to express their submission.

The soldiers of the Ming army shouted in unison.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Great Ming wins! Long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

Thousands of troops followed, and the cheers shook the sky.

Looking around with sharp eyes, Zhu Hongyu held up his right hand, and only after everyone quieted down under his signal did Zhu Hongyu speak loudly.

"Surrender before the battle, no merits, no faults, all the past, don't blame the past!"

Obviously, Zhu Hongyu's words were directed at those surrendered soldiers from the Qing army.

Zhu Hongyu's public promise like this can undoubtedly appease the apprehensive Qing troops who surrendered.

In this way, it will be more convenient for the Ming army to manage prisoners of war!
These prisoners of war received Zhu Hongyu's promise, knowing that there is a high probability that they will not be killed, so they will naturally be more obedient when they are under management.

After all, it's better to die than to live. Isn't it because they surrendered to survive?

If you want these Qing soldiers to be obedient, you have to give them something to look forward to!

A surrendered soldier from the Qing army kowtowed in the direction of Zhu Hongyu, shouting thank you.

"I will thank His Highness Jian Guo for not killing me!"

"I will thank His Highness Jian Guo for not killing me!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu just nodded slightly, then got on the horse again, waved his whip lightly, and left in a cool way.

His main purpose of appearing on the battlefield is to appease these descendants!
……

"How? Where did the Qing army flee to now?"

Zhu Hongyu wiped his face with a hot towel, and he enjoyed the feeling of steaming from the towel and opening the pores on his face.

Zhang Meng on the side spoke.

"Reporting to Your Highness, seeing the direction in which the captive escaped, it should be heading for Zhenjiang."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and continued to wipe his hands with a hot towel.

After wiping his hands clean, Zhu Hongyu took a piece of compressed dry food from the eunuch beside him, broke off a small piece, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

His eyes narrowed, as if tasting the taste of compressed dry food.

After all, he was still marching, and Zhu Hongyu's food would not be any different from that of ordinary soldiers.

He is too lazy to toss, just eat some compressed dry food and let it go!

Zhu Hongyu said.

"After receiving the prisoners of war, order the army to continue advancing towards Zhenjiang!"

"No matter what, we must wipe out all the Qing prisoners on the south bank of the Yangtze River!"

Zheng Chenggong on the side heard the words and said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, our Daming Navy has blocked the Yangtze River, and the Qing captives will definitely not be able to cross the river."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, as if to express his approval.

It took the Ming army half a day to receive prisoners of war near Jiangyin, and to repair and restore their physical strength.

During this process, the Ming army obtained a lot of supplies from the transport fleet floating on the Yangtze River.

In addition to all kinds of guns and ammunition, there are a lot of winter clothes for keeping warm, as well as food and meat needed by the army.

The quantity is quite huge!
Even if Daming mobilized the people around Jiangyin to help carry it, it took half a day to unload it.

Because these winter clothes and food are not only needed by the Ming army, but also by the Qing army prisoners of war.

When Tuhai evacuated Jiaxing, in order not to leave the supplies to Daming, he took away all the supplies he could bring, and burned all the supplies he could not take.

So much so that the Ming army still had a headache for the food and winter clothes of the prisoners of war!
But this is something that can't be helped, Zhu Hongyu can't say that he doesn't care about those prisoners of war, can he?

At any rate, that's a lot of hard work!

Not to mention that many of them are veterans with rich battlefield experience, and with a little training, they can be pulled to the battlefield to fight.

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu still cared about those prisoners of war.

The civilian husbands who surrendered must be resettled, and the green battalion soldiers must be broken up and reorganized, preparing to organize them into the Guiyi Army.

……

In the 20th year of the Yongli calendar, on the 22nd day of the first month, Zhenjiang!
The Qing army had just arrived in Zhenjiang City and began to repair, and within half a day at most, the Ming army's pursuers had already killed outside Zhenjiang City.

In the wilderness outside Zhenjiang City, a large black mass of cavalry was galloping.

They blocked all the four gates of Zhenjiang City, and the cavalry of the Qing army went out to fight. If the two sides had a little contact, the Qing army was defeated and returned.

Of course, it was not because the cavalry of the Qing army could not fight, but because the morale of the Qing army was too low.

It's basically a one-touch crash!
There is no tenacity at all!

Immediately afterwards, under the desperate gaze of the Qing army defending the city, the main infantry force of the Ming army slowly appeared.

The well-formed infantry came rolling from the end of sight anyway!

The red armor was pieced together, dazzling like a burning flame.

Large flags representing different establishments appeared at the end of the line of sight, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

However, the most conspicuous things in the whole field are not these big flags.

It was the big bright yellow banner standing in the Ming army formation!
Under the banner of the big flag, there stood a figure.

There is no difference between the clothes and the people around them, they are all in military uniform and armor, and when you look at them from a distance, you can hardly see the difference.

The details on the military uniforms that can really reveal Zhu Hongyu's identity cannot be seen from afar.

Moreover, compared with other people around him, Zhu Hongyu's figure is not particularly burly and tall.

But, even so, standing in the crowd, he was quite conspicuous!

It can be seen at a glance that he is the center and the C position.

This is the aura possessed by Zhu Hongyu at this time, even if he just stands there and does nothing, no one can hide his brilliance!
Zhu Hongyu looked at Zhenjiang City in the distance, and just waved his hands and ordered.

"Order the army to block Zhenjiang City!"

"And start preparing for the siege, we must wipe out the Qing captives in Zhenjiang!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the Ming army began to prepare for the siege.

The camp was set up on the bank of the Yangtze River, and a series of zigzag trenches marched towards Zhenjiang City.

A series of large-caliber siege artillery was rested from the warship floating on the Yangtze River.

It was transported to the scheduled gun position!
……

After the Ming army arrived in Zhenjiang, they repaired for half a day, and then launched an attack on Zhenjiang City without stopping.

The rumbling sound of shelling opened the prelude to the Ming army's attack on Zhenjiang!

A heavy shell fell on the head of Zhenjiang city!
Under the cover of heavy artillery, the Ming army launched an offensive.

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the Ming army broke into Zhenjiang City.

The flames of war spread rapidly, and the sound of rumbling explosions almost covered up the shouts of soldiers on both sides.

The cavalry of the Ming army galloped and drove outside Zhenjiang City, intimidating the Qing army who wanted to escape from the city.

The cavalry of the Qing army wanted to break through several times, but they were blocked by the Ming army!
It was not the cavalry of the Ming army that played the greatest role, but the trenches dug in advance for the siege.

The cavalry of the Qing army couldn't cross the trenches, so naturally they couldn't break through the blockade of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Qing army led by Tu Hai was completely blocked in Zhenjiang City.

The only ending waiting for them is death!

However, what Zhu Hongyu had to admit was that those Eight Banners soldiers who had fallen into desperation were really tenacious in resisting.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one would give up one's life and forget one's death!
Although their stubborn resistance, at most it will delay the time of their demise.

Of course, although the soldiers of the Eight Banners acted bravely, those Mongols behaved more subduedly!

Many Mongolian cavalrymen were soy sauce the whole time. When the Ming army came to them, they threw away their weapons, knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.

……

ps: Ri Wanang!

All kinds of support!
