Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 291 Siege of Yingtian Mansion

Of course, the annexation of Korea is not the annexation of Myanmar, and the food must look better.

The royal family of the Li Dynasty, members of the Dongxue Party, and scholars who were close to the Ming Dynasty, as long as these people did not make mistakes, Daming would naturally give them more preferential treatment.

The whole process of annexation will be like boiling a frog in warm water, step by step.

This in turn has to be careful in another aspect.

That is, some overly shrewd Koreans may play the Wanli card and want to merge directly into Ming Dynasty without transformation.

This is absolutely impossible. Doing so will disrupt Da Ming's strategic deployment and shake Da Ming's strategic focus, so we must be on guard.

In short, the Koryo matter is very important, but it has to be done slowly.

Jin Shouheng and his party are on their way, and Zhu Kezang is also on his way. His goal is Jiangnan.

In the first ten days of January of the third year of Shenwu, the pace of the Ming army's offensive became more and more unstoppable, and it had retaken the entire territory of Fujian, the entire territory of Zhejiang, most of Jiangxi, and parts of Jiangsu.

Those green battalions who surrendered to the Ming army before can rest assured now.

Because their family members were not retaliated by Ta Qing.

Of course, the most important reason is that the Ming army moved too fast.

The government yamen in these places had just received the news, and before they could react, the Ming army had already approached the city.

At this time, all the honest and upright officials of the Tatars are busy taking money and running away, and who else is willing to waste time on these stinky mounds.

In late January, the Ming army recaptured Changzhou, Liyang, and Xuancheng, and their troops pointed directly at Yingtianfu.

At the same time, Zhu Kezang led the main force of the Fujian Sea Fleet northward along the East China Sea, heading towards Yingtianfu by sea.

At this time, Zhu Kezang was taking the Queen Concubine Chen in the living room, learning foreign languages ​​with his half-race cousin Carolina, when he suddenly felt a slight vibration in his buttocks.

It really just vibrated slightly, like driving a car over a can. If Zhu Kezang's buttocks were not sensitive, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

At this time, the soldiers came to report: "Your Majesty, my ship has collided with a fishing boat from a fellow villager. Please instruct me on how to deal with it!"

"Hometown?"

Zhu Kezang's eyes lit up.

In the context of New Daming, fellow countrymen generally refer to local Han people who have braided hair and haven’t straightened things out.

Zhu Kezang, who earned enough popularity in Guangdong before, is considering how to fire the first shot to regain the hearts of the Jiangnan, and establish a personality that loves the people like a son!

Isn't this a pillow when you drowsy?
"The order goes on. I will personally meet these fishermen and condolences to them. The boat is broken. It should be repaired and compensated. Make sure that the fellow villagers will not suffer. Also, we didn't have a lot of barnacles on the boat before, so we hired these It’s good for the villagers to do cleaning once, it can save a lot of money, and at the same time benefit the people, I believe the villagers will be deeply grateful for the great grace of the emperor.”

Soon, the military reporters and security personnel on the Shenzhou all started to move.

Armed merchant ships and armed fishermen are very common these days, so these fellow villagers can only be taken to the imperial court after a strict body search.

Soon, Zhu Kezang saw this group of lovely Jiangnan folks.

These fishermen were terrified, thinking they had encountered pirates.

They are uneducated, but they don't know the new Ming Dynasty or the old Ming Dynasty.

But they recognize silver dollars.

Only at noon of the next day, the flagship of the Eternal Victory had completed the cleaning work of barnacle eradication under the desperate work of hundreds of fishermen in the south of the Yangtze River.

The cleaning fee paid by the Minhai Fleet is only 40 silver dollars, which can be described as economical.

On the deck of the Eternal Victory, Zhu Kezang waved a friendly farewell to the group of Jiangnan fishermen under the records of the military reporters.

The first meeting between the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the people in the south of the Yangtze River was very harmonious, and the future can be expected.

Facing the menacing Ming army, Yu Chenglong, governor of Liangjiang, gathered his troops while transferring property and materials. At the same time, he also sent out the newly established Yangtze River Navy.

Whether the shipwreck seals the river or charges to the death, there is only one requirement, to block the Ming Yao Navy and not allow the Ming Yao Navy to quickly approach Jiangning Mansion.

After the Qing Dynasty occupied Yingtian Mansion, they renamed Yingtian Mansion Jiangning Mansion. This name sounds stingy.

In fact, everyone knew that it was impossible for the Qing army to defend Jiangning, and Kangxi knew that too, but he just didn't want Jiangning to fall into the hands of the Ming army like this.

Jiangning is different from other cities, this is one of the capitals of the Ming Dynasty!

For these Ming troops, it is definitely of great significance.

Therefore, he gave an order to Governor Yu Chenglong of Liangjiang.

Evacuate Jiangning, burn down the imperial city, and never let Jiangning fall into the hands of the Ming army completely!

What Yu Chenglong is now executing is Kangxi's first order.

However, Jiangning City is so big that if you want to evacuate it, it can't be done in a short while, so he sent the Yangtze River Navy to block the Ming Army Navy.

It's just that this order is really embarrassing for the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing Army who was only three months old.

Although the actual development of the Yangtze River Navy is much better than that of the Tianjin Imperial Guard Eight Banners Navy that Kangxi placed high hopes on.

After all, the Yangtze River Navy originally had a base in the Zhenjiang Navy Battalion, and it was not difficult to recruit sailors in the south of the Yangtze River, and the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Navy of the Imperial Guards were all bannermen from top to bottom, so let them be the sailors of the Navy. It's really hard for them.

However, the Yangtze River Navy, which is developing well, is nothing in front of the Ming Fleet.

The newly promoted Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy is an old acquaintance of Daming, Wan Zhengse!
After Shi Lang's defeat, Wan Zhengse, who had an outstanding record with the Ming Dynasty in the past, was discovered by Kangxi. No, he took on the heavy responsibility of the Yangtze River Navy.

Wan Zhengse knew that he had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation with the Ming Fleet.

Therefore, he immediately thought of a way, that is to sink the ship and seal the river!
As the largest river in China, it is too difficult to block the Yangtze River in terms of water depth and flow or river width.

The number of ships it needs will be extremely large. Even if all the ships of the Yangtze River Navy are sunk, they can only block a small part of the channel, so other ships still have to be collected from the people.

His method was recognized by Yu Chenglong, because Yu Chenglong himself had nothing to do.

Yu Chenglong is already a 67-year-old man. According to the original historical line, he will die in May this year.

Earlier, Kangxi saw that he had worked so hard and wanted to transfer him back to the capital instead of guarding a Jiangning mansion that was doomed to be lost, but Yu Chenglong knew that his time was short and wanted to make a final contribution to the Qing Dynasty.

What a good slave!

In order to block the Yangtze River, Yu Chenglong, governor of Liangjiang, ordered the collection of private ships.

He is indeed an upright official, and he promised the people that every time a private ship is collected, he will be compensated according to the price.

However, it was Wan Zhengse who carried out the order, and when Wan Zhengse came here, the execution of the order changed!
