Chapter 65: Northern Expedition! Northern expedition! (xv)
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty said in a deep voice, "Dispatch the Mongol cavalry south to help?" ā
"Mongols?" Kubilon said in surprise, "The emperor thinks twice! Although the Mongols submitted to the Qing Dynasty, they did not forget to recreate the glory of the Golden Family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Before, I was only afraid of the strength of my Qing Dynasty, so I would marry my Qing Dynasty. Once Mongolia is released into the customs, I am afraid that even our Qing Dynasty will be harmful. ā
Sonny raised his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, although Mongolia is greedy and unscrupulous, as long as you send an explanation to let them understand that once the Han people regain their seat in the Central Plains, they will inevitably send troops to attack Mongolia." Not to mention the distant Han and Tang Dynasties, after the recent Ming Dynasty occupied the capital, it didn't send troops to conquer Mongolia many times! If Mongolia wants to defend the steppe, it must weaken the power of the Han people, otherwise I am afraid that Mongolia will become the next Xiongnu and disappear in the long river of history! ā
"If Mongolia sees the world of flowers in the Central Plains, it doesn't want to leave. Even when I saw that I was weak, I suddenly turned my eyes on it......" said with a worried mind.
Although I don't want to admit it, Zheng Jiajun is a strong team. When the Mongol cavalry fought against the Zheng army, they were bound to lose both. At that time, the most profitable will be my Daqing! Sony said.
"What Master Suo said is right, Your Majesty, you can order the Mongolian cavalry to go south to help!" Sukh Saha nodded in approval first.
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up and shouted, "In that case, send an envoy to invite Meng Baqi to enter the customs and participate in the battle!" ā
"Yes!"
ā¦ā¦
Kunqing Palace, Huangming City, Nanjing, saw the news that the East Road Army led by Gan Hui and the West Road Army led by Zhou Quanbin successfully converged in Zhengzhou.
Zheng Chenggong jumped up from the chair at once, and said happily to Yao Qisheng, "Xizhi, the plan is going well, and the next thing is up to the navy!" ā
Yao Qisheng said peacefully: "Yes, the lower officials thought that there would be a fierce battle, and the armies of the east and west might not converge until November and December, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Now the attention of the Manchus has been attracted, and they must implement the plan of closing the door and beating the dog as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Manchus escape outside the customs, it will be difficult to exterminate them! ā
Zheng Chenggong picked up the jade seal and printed it firmly on a military order, and then sent someone to send it to the naval headquarters.
As soon as the commander-in-chief of the navy, Lin Xishan, received the military order, he immediately summoned the senior admirals of the navy.
At the Navy Headquarters, Lin Xishan inspected everyone present and said, "I announce the general's military order!" ā
All the generals in the seat immediately sat upright and looked at Lin Xishan seriously.
"The attention of the Qing army has been drawn to the west, and the navy should arrange for the departure of warships as soon as possible to transport soldiers to Ningyuan. Cooperate with the army to recover Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and lock the remnants of the Manchu main force in the pass. The time is urgent, and there is no room for delay, and in response to the needs of the situation, the navy must complete the plan for cross-sea operations before the end of June. If possible, after the recovery of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, mobilize a number of battleable ships to cooperate with the army to attack the Beijing division, and strive to take the capital as soon as possible and reduce casualties! Lin Xishan finished reading the military order, looked at his subordinates and said, "What questions do you have?" ā
After listening to the military order, the generals present shouted in unison: "No! Mission completion guaranteed! ā
Lin Xishan got up and drank, "Okay, go and prepare as soon as possible, and set off in three days!" ā
ā¦ā¦
As the military orders were conveyed layer by layer, watching the army's meritorious service one after another, the navy soldiers, who had long been unable to bear it, immediately ran out of the barracks and rushed to the dock.
The black-pressed and crowded troops lined up in a neat line, and under the leadership of the leaders of their respective units, they ran towards the nearest military port in the military region.
In Nanjing, Fuzhou, Chongming Island, Zhoushan and other military ports, the entire wharf was in a commotion, and there were secretly dense sailors standing.
The soldier on duty at the military port swore that he would never forget the scene of that day.
Hundreds of warships were constantly sailing in and out of the port, sand ships, fortune ships, lock ships, Western sailing ships, basically all ship types in the Zheng family's navy.
As soon as a ship landed, soldiers stepped on a swift plank to board the ship.
In order not to let the soldiers disembark and land, they could not find their own troops, and the generals could not find the soldiers under them.
The Naval Operations Department made detailed plans, and the soldiers on each troop carrier were to keep the complete formation as much as possible, in regimental units.
Cranes and carts erected on the wharf carried supplies up and down the Kosaka, and food, fresh water, and weapons were constantly transported to the ship's hold.
In order to rush for time, some warships saw that there were no berths at the pier to board people, so they directly parked on the beach.
Small wooden boats were transporting supplies back and forth, and the soldiers of Shanshui waded up the water, huddled in the cabin where the supplies had been stacked yesterday.
It took three days of busy work before all the soldiers who fought across the sea got on the battleship.
In order to complete this plan, except for the necessary warships left in each district, other navies and ships were transferred.
There are 28 former general-class warships, 34 lock ships, 166 Fu ships, and 332 sand ships. A total of 40,000 navy and 100,000 soldiers went ashore in Yongping Mansion along Haizhou, Dengzhou, and Lushunkou.
In order to be able to handle military affairs in a timely manner, Lin Xishan, commander-in-chief of the navy, who had not been out to sea for many years, also set off with the warship.
After four days at sea, in a conference room of the "Guan Yu", the flagship of the Zheng Jiajun Joint Operations Fleet.
Huang Wuzou, deputy commander of the navy, frowned and said, "The situation is more serious than we imagined, and there is nothing wrong with the navy soldiers." But the problem of seasickness in those armies is even bigger, and many landlubbers who have never been on a boat have been on board for three or four days, and they vomit so much that their faces are green. Some even spit out all the yellow bile, black bile! It's worrying to see it, and when I was resting in Dengzhou, many soldiers who were in serious conditions were left there to be settled. Those soldiers who do not get seasick sit on the boat for a few days, have a very bad appetite, do not want to eat anything, and fall to the ground! ā
Lin Xishan's face collapsed tightly when he heard this, and when planning the cross-sea battle plan, he also took the problem of seasickness into account. At first, I just had no appetite, thinking that it would be good to rest in Yongping Mansion for a day or two, but there was no problem that was so serious.
Lin Xishan said, "People are iron, and rice is steel." Tell the soldiers that the meal must be eaten. Pass my order, ordering the soldiers to eat no matter how much they vomit, and if they can't eat, they have to eat, if they can't get in and out, their bodies will collapse, and what kind of combat effectiveness will they have? Must eat! ā
Huang Wu heard the busy saying, "Yes! I'm going to have people look at those soldiers, and I'm going to have to make them all eat!" ā
Lin Xishan lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Send someone to send a message to the general, give feedback on the situation on our side, and ask for permission to allow the soldiers to go to Yongping Mansion to rest for two more days to replenish their strength and restore their morale."
