Whether the Qing court's wishful thinking can be successful or not depends on the Free State of China, whether people are happy or not? Or is the guy who has only money and beauty happy?
Yue Xiaofei hadn't thought about this for the time being, because the "Huofeng-class cruisers" parked on the Yangtze River channel outside Zhenjiang City were not idle, their goal was very clear, they were going to Wuhu, but not to fight, but to pick up people.
"Iron to Wuhu self-made steel" in the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty is widely recited, here is the most important steel production base in the late Ming Dynasty in China, regardless of the industrial level or production quality in the world at that time, have a very important position.
In particular, most of the steel, iron and other metals used in the production of cannons when Bolo used to attack Suzhou at that time came from this. Therefore, for here, Yue Xiaofei, who has the "Fire Phoenix-class cruiser" this time, is determined to win, and this is the place where the blood of the Qing court is released.
Thinking about the scene after giving him a package of "kidnapping" by the blacksmith in Wuhu, Yue Xiaofei would have a sinister smile on his face: "Grandma, next year you will be allowed to plow the field without even a plow or ploughshare, if you can fight while drinking the wind, then let's fight!" ”
This was the idea of the new capitalists, who were very different from what the feudal powers had in the past. Just like various forces, what they want is often nothing more than territory, gold and silver, grain and grass, whether it is the Chuang army, the Ming army, or the Qing army.
These forces have never been, and these still represent that the feudal ruling forces have never looked at the people in their eyes. As everyone knows, in industrial production, the vast landless does not mean anything, and a group of awakened and hard-working people are the foundation of victory.
Just like the American Civil War, it takes only time for the machine to war cotton. So what he Yue Xiaofei wants is not territory, he wants people, and he wants people who can awaken! Of course, those who have some means and awaken are even better.
Wang Chang was such a person, although he led the craftsmen in the Qing army's artisan camp to build chariots for the Qing army, the heavy bronze roller chains used in these chariots caused physical exhaustion to the soldiers, which was one of the "hidden" reasons why they fell into disadvantage in the confrontation with the chariots of the Shengwu army.
And this time he was burdened with a task that was even more honorable for him.
Long before the Shenzhou Army attacked Wuxi, he and his family had been picked up by the Shenzhou Army's SEAL special forces, and his family was placed in a safe place, while he himself followed the seals to complete a high-stakes mission.
Speaking of this, we can't help but talk about Wang Chang's craftsmanship, although he has little ability for steelmaking and ironmaking, but the iron work he does is quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River, especially with the relationship between the Bu family and the old Bu family in Wuhu.
The reason why the seal brigade barely showed up in this battle of Jiangnan is also based on this incident. They were protecting Wang Chang on his way to Bujiadian.
Of course, they went along the waterway, and in order to ensure the success of this matter, most of the seals were dispatched, and before the battle of Jiangnan, they had already used fast boats to reach Wuhu along the waterway.
Living up to expectations, Wang Chang contacted the shopkeepers or masters of the ironworkers everywhere through the connections of the old iron workshop of the Bu family. As a result, the seals used covert methods to hide nearly 10,000 ironworkers here in the Cilao Mountain, north of Ma'anshan.
Just waiting for the fleet to pick them up the river and leave, the seals also destroyed the mines, ironworks and other ironwork-related places in Wuhu and the surrounding areas. All of a sudden, fires broke out inside and outside Wuhu City, on the mountain, and under the mountain, and explosions continued.
Of course, at this time, there were also many Qing soldiers stationed, and when they came here, they were located in the depths of the south of the Yangtze River, and the defense was all about the Ming and Shun surrender troops. In addition, the methods of the Shenzhou Army are indeed a bit vicious, and the officials who dare to lead the team on patrol often kill their families overnight.
In the past few days, the officers and men who were lucky enough to be alive have opened their eyes and closed their eyes, and they have to get by. Every day, I pretend to search around and see, and if I see it, I just don't see it.
Even if something bad that looks like a bomb is found, no one dares to dismantle it. If it is said that the burning and bombing are all private things, it is purely a personal grudge and has nothing to do with me. Then the burning and bombing of the official's artillery and bomb-making places was a big war between the two countries, and it was not something that our soldiers could withstand, so they only issued an emergency report.
As for when they can get to Nanjing when the road is slippery in this rain, naturally they are not in the list, "Do my bird business, everything that can be done has been done, wait for reinforcements!" ”
As for the fundamental matter, just guarding the yamen for the prefect is considered to be the end of the errand. The common people, but because of the Shenzhou Army, they were ruthless in dealing with these Qing troops and Hu Lu, and they never disturbed the people. It is also the desire of the people, and they only hope that the army will come early and return the Han people to a peaceful world.
And Yue Xiaofei led the cruiser formation, and when he passed through Nanjing, he didn't encounter anything like the iron lock of the Hengjiang River, so he swaggered over the Yangtze River under the cover of the night.
Originally, the defenders guarding the Yanziji Fort in Nanjing also planned to fire artillery to resist the enemy, but the guard general looked at the river for a moment with a clairglass, and scolded the officers and soldiers standing at the sentry.
"What kind of farts are there, where are there any enemy warships, which dog eyes have seen it?"
The soldiers shrank their heads and did not dare to speak, let alone say: "Do you see the bright lights on the river, but they are not the enemy's warships?" However, in the face of the anger of the guard, he had to echo it one by one.
"Damn, go to sleep, whoever dares to send a siren to disturb the morale of the army will not be spared."
It wasn't until he returned to his residence that the guard wiped his sweat and muttered: "I almost let these dogs cause Lao Tzu to lose his life, just ask the emperor to bless him, the enemy must not bombard with cannons, as long as he leaves a small life, he is willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
It was also in the past few days that the salvo of artillery fire of the "Huofeng-class cruiser" had already left an extremely deep impression on the Qing army's batteries along the river. The firing of a single shell will bring a salvo of thousands of shells in retaliation, and a salvo, no matter how strong the cannon number, will generally have almost no living people.
Such news made almost all the defenders of the Qing army's few batteries along the river seem to have obtained a tacit understanding. If it is another warship, the artillery bombardment will pass, and maybe it can be recovered. And when you encounter that kind of warship without sails, it is best to pretend that you don't see it, otherwise it will be a blessing to be able to save a small life with a salvo.
Therefore, the task of going to Wuhu to pick up these craftsmen this time was not as Yue Xiaofei originally imagined, to open a bloody road on the Yangtze River. Basically, I didn't let go of a shot, and I drove the boat to pick people up, which was really smooth and a little unusual.
And the battle is really a little boring when it comes to this!
As a result, the 15-day battle of the "deterrence operation" came to an end, and the act of transporting Jiangnan to Jiangnan lasted for a month, and more than one million people left Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, for the legendary paradise of the Free State of China.
