Chapter 48 Eight Hundred Miles Steel Tong 1
Hainan Island, Yazhou guards thousands of households.
Under the escort of the bayonet array of Sikh soldiers of 1 company, King Hui of the Prison State, that is, the Son of Heaven, changed Yazhou to Yajing, and took the "Shangshu. Shang Shu. The sentence "only the sky is smart, but the holy time" is set next year as the first year of the Ming Constitution.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the edict was immediately sent to all the Ming army-controlled areas across the country, according to the rules, if the Ming army generals in various places accepted the envoy to read the edict, it was to accept the new central court, otherwise, if they did not accept the envoy to read the edict, that is, they had other ideas. Hainan has not held the enthronement ceremony until now, and this is the reason.
If someone really rejects the edict, whether it is a civil war or a laissez-faire is not what the order wants to see, so before ascending the throne, the order needs to contact all the Ming armies and unify the thoughts of the troops. The most important of these are Li Dingguo's ministry in Chiang Rai, Zheng Chenggong's ministry in Fujian, and Lu Jianguo's ministry in Zhejiang.
After several months of contact, Dingguo said that he had no opinion, and he even impeached himself for the crime of losing the country and resigned from the title of King of Jin, which of course could not be agreed, and Houjiang Mansion immediately sent 2,000 rifles to appease.
Shou Xu personally interviewed Zheng Chenggong, and after an exchange of interests, Zheng Fan also accepted.
The most difficult to deal with is Zhejiang.
In all fairness, Lu Jianguo was the best performing Ming dynasty clan in the past ten years of the Anti-Japanese War, and was very popular among the military and civilians along the coast of Zhejiang.
Zhu Yihai himself may not have a strong heart for stacks, and what needs to be persuaded is the army and officials of Lu Jianguo. The Taipei government worked hard for several months to offer many preferential conditions to the Zhejiang troops represented by Zhang Huangyan, such as distributing more cakes in the sea trade before they could accept the new monarch of Hainan.
The edict of the new emperor was issued to the world, which counted the humble origins of the Aisin Gioro family in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou people were mostly engaged in slave work such as operas, running halls, and shopkeepers, so they were called Jiannu, and Guangzhou helped the Tatar court recall their history in a calm and unexaggerated tone, including the bloody suppression of Yehe and other tribes by the Aisin Gioro family.
The craftsmen of Guangzhou printed the edict as leaflets, and in order to facilitate its dissemination, they wrote it again in vernacular and brought it to the Central Plains through various trade networks.
I don't know which author is good at a certain way, the matter of Bul Butai and Huang Taiji and Dolgon is written back into chapters, and the passion is described in great detail, and there is an immersive feeling of reading it, which is deeply loved by the people.
Throughout the summer, time ends in the struggle and teasing on the Xijiang River, and the autumn harvest season is approaching, and the Pearl River Delta is full of golden rice.
Wang Xing, the defender of Sanshui City, built the heads of the full soldiers cut off in the previous battles since Leizhou into a Beijing Temple, and the towering pile of corpses and bones is breathtaking.
Yue Le's troops have already released their words, and after conquering Sanshui, they will completely slaughter the city, and they will not spare a single person.
Shou Xuan was dressed in military uniform, with two grenades hanging from his chest, and his hand gently stroked an ear of rice. There were no clear fields in Guangzhou, and the rice in the fields was a temptation that the Tatars could not refuse.
Wang Xing and Lu Zhan walked behind him.
Shou Xuan raised his head, there was Chen Qice's sailor sampan on the Xijiang River, and the boats were patrolling back and forth around Sanshui County.
In the summer, Lu Zhan and Wang Xing divided their labor, Wang Xing was responsible for the defense line of Sanshui City and the suburbs, and Lu Zhan's Dianbai Brigade was responsible for peripheral support, the two troops totaled nearly 10,000 people, and could get a steady stream of manpower and ammunition reinforcements from Guangzhou behind them, and the Tatars who drove from the west and north could not even surround Sanshui City.
As the weather cooled, the battlefield gradually changed a little.
Enemy cavalry is more present on the battlefield, its actions are becoming more and more bold, there are more and more skirmishes that it actively provokes, and the probability of victory is increasing.
This kind of change is happening every day, accumulating a little bit every day, and the General Staff has counted the frequency of battles, casualty figures, and ammunition consumption over the past month, and everyone's judgment is that the critical point of qualitative change is approaching.
The battle flag of the Tatars fluttered on the left bank of the Xijiang River and the right bank of the Beijiang River, which was the advance of the enemy army, the troops of Manchuria with red flags and Gushan Ezhen Basihan.
The Tatars built several artillery forts on the position and defended them in the middle of the river.
This section of the Xijiang River is about 1.5 kilometers wide, and it is difficult for artillery to cover the entire river surface when the water rises in summer, and the naval division has a strong tactical use, but as the water gradually falls in autumn, the Tatars advance the artillery, and now they form crossfire on both banks, so that the light warship of the naval division is greatly restricted.
The Tatars took advantage of the summer stalemate to build many river warships in Guangxi, and their naval divisions had surpassed Chen Qice's strength.
The Tatar inland water divisions were drawn from the provinces of the Yangtze River, from Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. After obtaining enough warships, these green battalion river divisions drove down the river on sampans, and their presence on the battlefield became stronger day by day.
In river battles, the role of large ships is small, and here belongs to the sampan. Large and medium-sized galley warships can only be used for supply logistics on the Pearl River and as mobile command headquarters, and their combat role is far inferior to that of sampans with small mobile and flexible targets.
The sailors of the two armies rowed small sampans and used firearms, the largest of which were no larger than the Franc machines, to chase each other and fight dogs on the water of the Pearl River.
It was impossible for the Federation to use the sailors of naval gunboats for such a battle, and in this war of attrition, Chen Qice's disadvantage in strength was magnified, and the Ming army could only get manpower replenishment from coastal fishermen.
The guard hopes to withdraw the Ming Army's water division and Dianbai Brigade after the battle consumption to rectify, the time will not be too long, half a month is enough to restore combat effectiveness, but then Sanshui will definitely be surrounded.
"Quang Nin-phu." Shou Xuan was very polite to Wang Xing, "It's all up to you to keep Sanshui." ”
"Historically, robbers have invaded and will eventually die." Wang Xing clenched the handle of the knife, "This lyric is so well written, how can I let the land be trampled on again." ”
Shou Xuan sighed secretly, "At most a month, I will use my entire army to save you." ”
Wang Xing said lightly: "I have moved my family into Sanshui City, only a few young sons are left in Wen Village, Sanshui is here, I am here, Sanshui is gone, I set myself on fire with my family." ”
Before the Leizhou War, Wang Xing was surrounded by Shang Kexi's army for 13 months in the small land of Wencun, and no one from the Ming army surrendered and defended the city.
The Battle of Leizhou directly saved Wang Xing, and after that tragic battle to defend the city, Wang Xing's combat effectiveness was greatly tempered, and the will and ability of the department belonged to the top choice in the Ming army.
This is the reason why Shou Ling handed over the vital Sanshui City to him.
The next day, the largest water battle broke out between Chen Qice's naval division and the green battalion naval division since the beginning of the war, and the Tatars invested twice as many warships and troops as the Ming army.
After the 7th Kuching Chesseur Regiment was broken, the Electric White Brigade slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
The Tatar vanguard crossed the North River and for the first time threw in their cavalry brigade, and after a hard rearguard battle, the Dianbai brigade escaped from the enemy's pursuit.
One after another enemy battle flags crossed the Antelope Gorge, on both sides of the Xijiang River, huge troops were marching, and the dry land raised dust and smoke from the sky, covering the soldiers and horses, but there were still many spears and helmets scurrying in the smoke, and in the middle of the river, nearly a thousand ships were loaded with supplies, and the masts were like moving forests.
Yue Le's main force finally stepped into the ground of Guangzhou Mansion this autumn.
The signal poles of one communication tower after another swayed, transmitting brief orders from Guangzhou to Leizhou, and the Qiongzhou Brigade took out the No. 3 combat plan of the steel tong according to the order and made operational deployments.
Sanshui County was surrounded by the Tartar army, Wang Xing climbed the artillery fortress at the head of the city, and the enemy camp outside the city looked like the sea, and the dense heads and war horses were gathered in it.
Guangzhou's best drummers beat the drums of war, and the soldiers and civilians of the city sang "The Great Wall Will Never Fall".
In the passionate Cantonese singing, Wang Xing trembled and raised the starting point of fire, firing the first shot of the Battle of Guangzhou.
