Chapter 647: Blockade
After Hong Chengchou coaxed away those officials who advocated peace talks, he just turned around and ran into a person from outside the palace, it was his housekeeper and master Shi Youzhong, who was the son of the domestic servant he had followed since the beginning.
He ran to Hong Chengchou's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Huaxia Army has imposed a complete blockade on us, and the Jinqi Corps on the Yangtze River Defense Line of the Huaxia Army has added more than a dozen D-level field brigades, I heard that these are all formed from the garrison battalions and elite militia brigades mobilized from their core areas, and they have now been reequipped with the Jingai-2 arquebuses of the Huaxia Army, and the general mobilization has been implemented, and the Yangtze River defense line has added four militia brigades in addition to the original eight field brigades, two cavalry brigades, and more than a dozen D-level field brigades. The Yangtze River Garrison Navy Division has also increased its warships, and it seems that they are ready to carry out a general attack on our country. ”
Hong Chengchou's arm holding the seat trembled slightly, this was the last thing he wanted to see, in the past two years, he felt that the Huaxia army had basically eliminated the surrounding enemies and cleared the influence of the Ming and Nanming, and was about to attack his Qing army, but the Huaxia army just didn't come, but fought with the Qing Dynasty hotly, and suddenly launched a war against small countries in Southeast Asia a year ago, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He stepped up his contact with the Qing Dynasty to help the Qing Dynasty deal with the Dajin Kingdom, thinking that before the Huaxia Army finished cleaning up the surrounding enemies, let the Qing Dynasty restore the imperial court and unify the country's forces to compete with the Huaxia Army, but he didn't expect that the imperial power struggle within the Qing Dynasty would be so fierce, and at the critical moment, Shunzhi ran away, leaving behind a woman in the palace and a few years old little emperor, which made the Qing Dynasty even more stormy, so he tried many times to unite those princes to solve this problem, However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, like other foreign dynasties that entered the Central Plains, was already decaying after more than ten years, and there was no previous enterprising spirit.
On the contrary, he was very concerned about fighting for power and profit, and he had to turn to contact the Han officials around him, wanting to pinch them together and make them a force to affect the government, but this touched the interests of those Manchu princes, and the bottom line, they joined forces to suppress and expel the Han officials from the top of the court, and could only hold some inconsequential positions at the middle and bottom levels, desperately searching for the people's fat and people's ointment for them, and letting them enjoy, which made him very disappointed and passive, and felt lonely and had to reorganize his foundation, the old base, but the Manchu prince still would not let him go, because he held the largest military strength of the Manchu Dynasty.
Aliens always look at Han people with pride and contempt, aren't you Han people smart? However, the smell of commercial copper is too strong, and the consciousness of small farmers is too strong, it is the kind of person who flies into the sky with a little achievement and cannot become a big thing, and the Han nation is also such a nation, and it is an outlier in the Han nation that takes this ability to the extreme, the Japanese, and the Yamato nation.
If the Han nationality is a family name, the Japanese are the third in the Han nation, shrewd and capable, but in the bones they look down on the elegance and cowardice of the boss, although the third is not tall, but it is very strong and powerful, and the mind is good, the boss always has too many scruples, and always likes to float, and the Manchu is the adopted son, the Han nationality is an alternative in the family, he defeated the boss with his fists, the boss continues to be cowardly, they became the second, and the third child has little intersection, but also looks down on the third, and the third is too shrewd, I like to wait for opportunities, I like to be patient, and I have learned the temper of the boss.
As a result, the boss became more and more incapable, and gradually became an otaku with no interest, while the second child was arrogant and powerful, and gradually became a village tyrant with the landlord and old wealth, without much knowledge but with a strong body, a group of thugs, invincible, but when the boss reacted and rose again, they could only give up the identity of the adopted son and become a person with a foreign surname, and the boss felt that the third child was still very good, and there was always a real blood relationship?
So he was very good to the third child, the third child lowered his posture and flattered him, while calculating the boss in his heart, and finally one day he put on a green hat to the boss, robbed the boss's wife, robbed the boss's house, if it weren't for the fact that the boss had half of the fox friends when he was young before, the third child would have really inherited the boss's property in a comprehensive way, the boss took back his property, or felt that he couldn't give up the blood relationship, always thinking about what Sino-Japanese friendship, Sino-Japanese friendship, fox friends and dog friends looked at it, alas, there was no help, so he stayed away from the boss, got together with the third child, so the boss decayed again.
These are the general trend of the Han nation, is the shame that the Han nation can never get rid of, at present, Hong Chengchou feels that if he does not change his surname to others, then he may become the slave of the third child, as the boss, he does not want to be the slave of the third child, so he wants to go to the third child's territory to grab the turf, to scourge the third child, for the boss he doesn't want to be such a person's slave, being the second slave is already shameful enough, now the third child is not good, he will go to beat the third child, don't serve your second child.
Of course, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not agree, so they engaged him once, so that he lost so much territory, and was killed by the Huaxia army, completing what he wanted to do for a long time, the completion of the third strategy.
The completion of the third strategy successfully divided the connection between the Manchu Qing and Hong Chengchou Qing army, and made Hong Chengchou independent, weakening the strength of the two families.
Hong Chengchou knew that he couldn't fight against the Huaxia Army with his own strength, so he thought about leaving.
There was no way to go, and the Huaxia army was in full swing to encircle him.
Shi Youzhong's report continued: "In addition to leaving Merlinyu's 21st Field Brigade to garrison the border, Xiao Fei's Corps has also been transferred to the junction of Shandong Prefecture, Anhui Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture. The number of troops surrounded by us has reached 600,000, which is almost double the strength we have now. ”
Hong Chengchou nodded with difficulty, Shi Youzhong's report became louder and louder, and several other people also heard Shi Youzhong's report, and couldn't help but show a nervous look on their faces.
"Anything else?"
"How is the transfer of the Huaxia Army Naval Division?" Hong Chengchou is most concerned about the naval division of the Huaxia Army, whether in terms of artillery, troops, or warships, the naval division of the Lu Army and the naval division of the Huaxia Army are no longer of the same level, and the naval division of the Lu Army is only equivalent to the garrison of the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Huaxia Army, and the garrison of the Yangtze River Naval Division nominally belongs to the Ministry of National Defense of the Huaxia Army and the East China Sea Division, but in fact they are transferred and managed by the Jinqi Corps in Jinling.
Shi Youzhong replied very sadly: "The two fleets of the East China Sea Division have been dispatched with all their troops to block all the waters outside a hundred nautical miles of our sea area, not close to our coastline, but such a blockade makes it impossible for us to escape, and we can't let merchants come in to trade, now there is a shortage of food and raw materials in the market, many merchants have fled from our Lu territory, and many businesses on the street have closed, and what is even more embarrassing is that there is a shortage of Huaxia yuan in the hands of our army, except for the gold, silver and copper coins we have stored, We don't have much Huaxia Yuan in our hands anymore. This makes it impossible for us to buy anything even if we have gold or silver. ”
Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't talk about those, just say that their sailors have blocked the places upstream, such as the Shandong Prefecture they occupy, as well as the waters of the Beijing-Tianjin region of the Qing Dynasty, the Bohai Sea and other places?" ”
"No." Shi Youzhong said.
"Okay, you go back immediately and load all the supplies on the ship, send my family and family members on the ship, I have arranged for a big merchant ship with fifty searches and two thousand materials for you, by the way, load all their family members and family members on the ship," he pointed to Shi Youzhong to the officials and generals under the hall who he still trusted.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng Quan opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, we have to leave some soldiers and horses behind, otherwise the Huaxia army will rush directly to us, and when the time comes, not only will we not be able to leave, but it will also cause chaos and collapse." ”
Hong Chengchou said: "I know, Master Kong, take your generals on the boat immediately, leave tonight, go around the waters of Shandong Prefecture, and go straight to where the Ryukyu Kingdom will take,"
Kong Youxing said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will go here." He turned and left the lobby.
Hong Chengchou said to Ma Bao again: "You are also injured, but I have no one in my hands to lead the troops, I will leave you six new army town soldiers, 100,000 old troops, I hope you can hold on for a long time, I will leave you a hundred two thousand warships, twenty eight thousand warships, five hundred five hundred warships, if things can't be done, just follow us."
I will withdraw tomorrow night, during this time you have to resist the attack of the Huaxia army, but don't worry, the Huaxia army is only blocking us now, it is estimated that they will not know that we are gone when we leave, but after a long time, once they find a large number of ships going to sea, they will definitely completely block the sea, when the time comes, it depends on your ability, if you can escape to the Bohai Sea in Liaodong or the Beijing-Tianjin region, I will send ships to pick you up. ”
Ma Bao's face was like earth, he knew that he was abandoned, the key was that in that battle, he was too light on the enemy, or defeated, and the responsibility for this defeat needed to be borne by him, so Hong Chengchou left him behind, Hong Chengchou said that he was going to give him the command of a total of 200,000 troops, and 80,000 of these tens were the command of six new army towns, and the command of 100,000 old armies was actually not enough for 200,000, and Hong Chengchou would definitely not hand over these commands to him today, and they must wait for them to withdraw three days later, before they could be handed over to him, during this period, the command of each army is actually still in the hands of Hong Chengchou.
Under such a situation of a complete blockade by the Huaxia Army, if he wanted to break through the defense of the Huaxia Army and take hundreds of thousands of troops to the territory of the Qing Army to go to sea by boat, it was undoubtedly tantamount to a fool's dream, and the sailors left to him were used to fight against the Yangtze River Garrison of the Huaxia Army, and he would absolutely not be able to break through the blockade of the East China Sea Division and the Yangtze River Garrison of the Huaxia Army and rush out of the sea.
