Win the Ding 1617

"My lord! Zheng Zhilong and his confidantes crossed the sea and fled to Jimei and Tong'an! The defenders on the island had no intention of resisting, and they raised white flags to surrender. Our army entered Xiamen City!"

On Gulangyu Island, Shou Han, who had just drank a cup of hot wine, heard exciting news.

"Please tell me, my lord, should our army cross the sea to pursue? Don't let this beast slip through the net!"

Those who did not win any battles in the Xiamen campaign and had no chance of meritorious deeds called for the battle one after another.

Seeing the eagerness of his subordinates to try, Shou Han couldn't help but feel happy, and was about to speak a few words of encouragement when the soldiers outside came in to report.

"My lord! The young marshal and the eldest lady are back, waiting for the military order outside the door."

During the day, Li Huayu led the army to forcibly attack Gulangyu Island, opening the gateway to Xiamen Island for the army and navy.

"The lord is blessed and the heavens are blessed, and the young master is under the protection of the gods!"

Such slogans erupted from time to time when the Nanyue Army attacked, and immediately, the morale of the entire army was boosted like a chicken blood.

Hearing that the lord's son and daughter had arrived, the officers stopped their scramble to pursue Zheng Zhilong's remnants, and looked out of the tent, hoping to be the first to see the heroic appearance of the two young lords.

"Your subordinate Taiwan Guard Commander Li Huayu, I have seen the lord!"

"Li Huamei, commander of the guerrilla fleet of the Nanyue Army Navy, has met the lord!"

Seeing his daughter and son showing their faces in front of everyone like this.May I ask which father is not happy?

Tiger Feng He (fighting with a tiger with bare hands, crossing the Yellow River without tools, describing a dangerous and impossible task.), completed a task that others thought was impossible. arrived.

"Get up! Wine!"

The family is father and son, and the affairs are monarch and minister.This is the family rule of Shou Han.After the son and a woman saluted the guards solemnly, each of them got up and straightened their battle robes, took a cup of hot wine brought by the soldiers with both hands and drank it down in one gulp.

"Thank you, father!"

"Hua Yu, you are good! This battle. I saw it later. I also heard your uncles come back and praise you."

Seeing his son and daughter drinking the wine, the role of commander-in-chief has no role for the time being.Then, the role of the father came into play.

"You little bastard! Do you know how much I have worried about you? You little bastard is charging ahead. My fingernails almost got stuck in the plank of the boat!"

The voice of the father reprimanding his son became louder and louder.Everyone in the tent was quite embarrassed for a while.Father disciplines son.Of course it was indiscriminate, but Shou Han's mouth was full of obscenities.Everyone is not used to it.

Even though their mouths were more sporadic when they couldn't reprimand them on weekdays, these words came out of the lord's mouth, and the object of reprimand was Li Huayu, who had just made great achievements, and the most popular new star in the army. Eye-popping.

"Go back to your account in a while, and send someone to send a letter to your mother quickly! I'm afraid that some quick-mouthed soldiers in the army will tell your mother what happened to you little beast. Don't let them be frightened!"

After Shou Han reprimanded and comforted the Li Huamei siblings, everyone in the tent began to sort out the current results of the Xiamen Campaign.

Although this battle is not yet completely over, but after a hasty count, the results of the battle are already quite rich.

After conquering Jinmen, Xiamen, Gulangyu and other places, in addition to occupying the above-mentioned places and pulling out the huge nail that lay across the north-south route of the Nanyue Army Navy, the various materials seized were also piled up to fill the sea.

"In Gulangyu, Kinmen, Xiamen, etc., a total of more than 24 artillery pieces of various sizes and in good condition were seized, with more than 32 shells and nearly [-] barrels of gunpowder. Among them, there were more than [-] artillery pieces above [-]-pound guns, containing [-]-pound guns, There are nearly [-] [-]-pound guns, and most of the rest are artillery below the Dafolang machine. There are a number of knives and guns, and they are currently being counted."

The grain and Taiwan officer in charge of counting the battle results read the numbers, and the military judge of the Military Judiciary Department next to him also read the numbers, and the numbers were the same.

The Liangtai official took this opportunity to drink some tea to moisten his dry throat.

"[-] ships, large and small, were captured, and the number of artillery on board is being counted. Twelve complete forts were seized, which can be used by our army. Another eight docks were captured, containing forty ships under construction and a batch of timber."

"More than [-] soldiers of the Zheng army were captured. This number was as of the second watch. Right now, various ministries are searching for remnants of the enemy in Xiamen City. This number is constantly increasing."

"More than [-] sailors and gunners from Zheng Jun's navy were captured. This number is the same as the number of soldiers just now, and it is constantly increasing."

"In addition, our army seized more than ten warehouses in the city of Xiamen that the Zheng family used to trade with foreign countries. They contained bulk goods such as cotton, red copper, raw silk, tea, and tung oil. Among them, tea was the largest, with about several million It is roughly equivalent to two-thirds of the total output of the entire Fujian and southern Jiangxi tea-producing regions last year."

This series of battle results made everyone elated. Among other things, the captured ships and captive sailors could solve the problem of naval development that had plagued the Southern Guangdong Army for many years. These more than 1 sailors rushed into the In the Nanyue Army, even giant warships like the Aomei, the Three-Headed Tiger, and even the Shouhan's ship Changsheng can be built by him.

"From then on, in this sea, there will be no navy that can rival our army!"

As for the seized materials, except for tea, raw silk and other commodities of the Zheng Group's foreign trade, the rest did not attract much attention. However, after this battle, Fujian and southern Jiangxi, which were originally controlled by the Zheng family The tea-producing areas thus fell under the control of the Southern Guangdong Army.I am afraid that the tea seized in front of us can increase the foreign trade volume of Chongzhen of the Southern Guangdong Army by 13% in 50.00 years!

This means that the Southern Guangdong Army has formed a complete set of effective statistical systems and digital management systems over the years, and it was only then that they were able to have a general statistics of the results of the war before it was completely over.

and.The troops attacked in the front, and the grain platform and the law enforcement department in the rear, facing the arrows and the artillery bullets flying around, led the ship owners and officers who had surrendered to the Southern Guangdong Army with Shi Daxuan and his son, and began to attack the arsenals in Xiamen, Gulangyu and other places. , Fuku, Zheng Group's foreign trade warehouses to conduct point inspections one by one.

If someone leads the way, things will be easier to handle. These people who are familiar with the situation, who are familiar with the situation, lead the Nanyue Army to the door of each warehouse, and open the treasure house accumulated by the Zheng Group for many years.

Think about the piles of tea, raw silk, tung oil, cotton, and so many knives, guns, artillery and ammunition piled up in various warehouses.Although I have never seen it with my own eyes.But imagining that scene, all the officers and generals couldn't help laughing and couldn't help but laugh.

According to the system of the Southern Cantonese Army, every battle comes back after victory.A considerable proportion of the trophies obtained must be taken out according to the level and military exploits.Awarded to soldiers who participated in the battle.The reason why the Southern Guangdong Army was happy when they heard the battle.Without him, driven by economic interests!

"Father commander, don't talk about anything else. Just the captured military equipment, ships and cannons are enough to earn back our military expenses for this battle!"

After all, Li Huayu was younger, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard a series of golden numbers reported by the Liangtai officials.

"Tell me about our loss and consumption!" Shou Han was not as excited as everyone else, on the contrary, he felt a little lonely in his heart.

When it comes to consumption and loss, the food station officer who manages the food, grass and ammunition of the entire army, is responsible for the transportation and treatment of injured soldiers, the burning and burial of the deceased, and many other affairs, looks a little embarrassed.

"Marshal, please forgive me for the crime of ignorance and disadvantageous handling of affairs."

Liangtai prepared all kinds of consumption in advance to attack tens of thousands of troops in Xiamen for at least a month. They were worried that this battle would fall into a protracted offensive and defensive war and a war of attrition. Barrel is average.

"However, with the blessings of Lord Lai, the courage of the young commander, the bravery of the generals, and the bloody spirit of the entire army, this battle was completed in less than a day. Zheng Zhilong only led more than ten thousand people and dozens of ships to flee to Tong'an. Our army More than ten percent of the large quantities of materials prepared have not yet been transported to Xiamen. Therefore, the subordinates are guilty and waste their military pay in vain!"

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the hall, and the laughing officers were full of pride and complacency.

"Forget it, it's better to be prepared but useless, unavailable and unprepared. The military supplies that have already been transported will stay in Xiamen to be consumed by the army and comfort the people affected by the war. For those that have not yet been shipped, send a document to tell them that there is no need to transport them to Xiamen , stored in various warehouses. It can be used sooner or later.”

As for the casualties, it was a bit shocking.

The [-] coffins prepared by the Liangtai took over a thousand in one day!

"Among those killed in battle, most of them were first-time officers and soldiers under the command of the young marshal. Nearly 800 people were killed in the Guards Battalion and Dongfan soldiers. In addition, 300 people were killed in battle on various gunboats. There were more than [-] people in the navy. The person's whereabouts are unknown, and Commander Zhang and the Commander of the Guerrilla Fleet are preparing to order people to search for them in the surrounding waters by boat after dawn."

"There were more than 4000 people injured in each department. Among them, most of them were injured by artillery fire, nearly a thousand people. Because of the seriousness of their injuries, the death toll is still increasing. The rest of the people with minor injuries, although there is no danger of life, but Limbs were injured by artillery fire, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve in the army in the future."

Kill [-] enemies, and lose [-].With such a battle result and such a low casualty ratio, everyone from Li Shouhan to the generals was already very satisfied.

"Take some silver dollars from the seized property, and give the wounded one month's military pay as a pension. In addition, take out [-] silver dollars to buy fresh fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, cattle, sheep, etc. for the wounded soldiers to take care of their bodies. "

For these wounded soldiers, those who have experienced the baptism of artillery fire are naturally much stronger than those who have not rolled in the smoke of artillery fire.For them, Shou Han has always been regarded as a treasure.After the wounded return to the team, they are the backbone and the elite. Even if they cannot put on their armor again and go into battle, they can also serve as the backbone of the grassroots in various villages.

Just right!After defeating Zheng Zhilong, he needs manpower everywhere in his territory in Bamin. After only a few months, these wounded people will become village chiefs and self-defense captains in various places.

Strict control over grassroots regime organizations and focusing on the construction of grassroots regimes are the source of strength of the Southern Guangdong Army and a major task of the Southern Guangdong Army.Although in this way, the speed of siege will undoubtedly slow down a lot.However, it can be guaranteed that military orders and government orders will be unimpeded in the occupied areas.

"As long as we eat it, we can digest it!"

This is the evaluation of the dispatch of village officials to manage the most basic regime by several senior officers of the Southern Guangdong Army in private discussions.

"Hua Yu, what's the situation with your Dong Fan soldiers?" Shou Han was very interested in Li Huayu's Dong Fan soldiers composed of Gaoshan soldiers.After defeating Zheng Zhilong, it can be said that the entire west coast of the Pacific Ocean no longer has a sea force that can rival the navy of the Nanyue Army.The main energy of the Southern Guangdong Army, in addition to the Central Plains, is to build its own territory more firmly.Those indigenous tribes scattered in the jungles of the islands.There are only two paths before them.Either naturalize.Be a part of the light of Chinese civilization, or become an official slave, and use your life and flesh and blood to contribute to the Southern Guangdong Army.

And if you want to achieve this goal.Gaoshan people who are good at fighting in mountains and jungles.is the first choice.

"Very good! Although there are some casualties. But the fighting spirit of the sons and daughters is high and they are extremely excited. Now all the battalions can fight and run, father commander. Shall we go after Zheng Zhilong?"

Although the artillery fire during the day caused heavy casualties to Li Huayu's guard battalion and Dongfan soldiers, it also aroused the fierceness in the bones of those mountain soldiers. Just under the leadership of the team officer and the armor leader, he rushed to the fortifications everywhere. The fierce offensive made the soldiers of the Zheng army defending the position terrified.

"You don't need to go. You bring me the Dongfan soldiers. The meritorious ones will be rewarded, and the wounded will be treated. The rewards you promised must be fulfilled as soon as possible. The bones of the dead will be handled according to their customs, and the military pay and pensions of the dead will be paid as soon as possible." hand it over to the family."

"Then, why don't you fight Zheng Zhilong? What if he runs away?"

Seeing that Li Huayu didn't wear a helmet, the bun on his head was burnt by the gunfire, and the hastily combed hair still had a faint smell of burnt, Shou Han felt distressed.He patted his son on the shoulder, "Don't think too much about this matter! It's best to go back and rest. After dawn, clean up the seized things with your uncle and sister. Let's see where the millions of catties of tea should be sold!"

. . . . . .

"Marshal, after passing Beauty Mountain, we will arrive at Tong'an County!"

Chen Peng excitedly pointed to several dark shadows not far away under the light of the torch.

This is the only way to go from Jimei to Tong'an, and Beauty Mountain is next to the official road.

At this time, the official road was full of black crowds, and the air was filled with the smell of pine oil produced by burning pine torches. From time to time, there were short fights between soldiers because of crowding or rushing to escape.

These men and horses placed on the official road can be regarded as the core elite of the Zheng family. Although they fought for a day during the day and ended in defeat, and then ran for dozens of miles, it was a bit tiring, but their spirits were not much worse. There was a little tiredness on his face.

Looking at the beautiful mountain not far away, Zheng Zhibao suddenly had an idea: "If Li Shouhan sent people to ambush here, our army retreated a long distance to this point. It is the time when people are exhausted and have no fighting spirit. Wouldn't they be captured in one go?"

There are overgrown vegetation on Beauty Mountain, and Zheng Zhibao has visited this area many times to hunt and hunt, so he is well aware of the terrain.There are thousands of people hiding here, and it may not be possible to find it from the official road, let alone it is late at night?

He raised his eyes and looked, in the dark night, the vegetation on the mountain was all humanoid, like a well-organized army, elite soldiers.He shook his head secretly, every time he looked at the history books, he read the words "every tree is a soldier", and never thought that he would have a day of paranoia.

"Brother, should I ask the second brother to go to the front, control the troops, occupy a few key points, and let the brigade pass quickly?"

Hearing the gurgling sound of the river flowing from the beauty mountain, Zheng Zhibao's thoughts became more and more firm. He lifted the rein forward and leaned in front of Zheng Zhilong's horse to suggest.

"Alright, be careful with the Wannian Ship, Zhihu, you..."

Zheng Zhilong was about to order his second younger brother Zheng Zhihu to lead people forward, control the stone bridge on the river, let the troops pass quickly, and reach Tong'an City. Unexpectedly, an accident happened suddenly!

A sharp horn sounded from the hillside not far from the official road on the left!

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of the trumpet!

Accompanied by this trumpet cannon, on the official road, one after another explosions sounded in Zheng Jun's ranks, and with the explosions, flames continued to rise in midair.

Zheng Jun fought all day during the day, and finally saw that he could take a short rest and fill his belly with warm food and drinks, but unexpectedly, he suddenly changed drastically.Immediately, the team immediately scattered and fled like an ant's nest doused in hot water.

"Fire!"

On the slope of Beauty Mountain, surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, Wu Liuqi, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade, stared at the soldiers of the Zheng Army who were running around not far away, and burst out these two words from his mouth.

After Wu Liuqi's garrison brigade received part of the troops from Wu Biao's command, the number of soldiers increased a lot.Shou Han swiped his pen and turned the original garrison brigade into a mixed brigade.An artillery battalion and a 60-man cavalry team were added to Wu Liuqi.Compared with other garrison brigades, it can be regarded as a strong army.

Following his order, the trumpeter blew out a sharp high pitch from the brass horn in his hand.Immediately afterwards, rows of muzzle flames flashed on the hillside, and with the sound of a row of guns, people on the official road immediately neighed, and the situation became more and more out of control.The officers on horseback fell off their horses, and the horses that were shot and injured, and those that were frightened by the sound of the firecrackers, jumped around in pain and panic, neighing.

"Damn it! There really is an ambush!"

Zheng Zhibao slapped himself hard! (To be continued..)

ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
