Chapter 41: The Northern Expedition! Northern expedition! (a)

On April 3, the eleventh year of Yongli, in the early morning of early summer in Nanjing, the weather was already a little stuffy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But the gusts of wind blowing in the wind are not too unbearable.

Zheng Chenggong walked step by step onto a high platform composed of earthen platforms.

Standing on the high platform and looking at the soldiers standing under the stage, Zheng Chenggong raised his head and stared at the sky immersed in the distance, and sighed in his heart.

It has been eleven years since the rebirth came to the end of the war-torn Ming Dynasty, and during this period, it seems that it has never stopped fighting, defeating Fuzhou from Xiamen, defeating Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Fujian, and then marching from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Huguang.

Step by step, silently accumulating, and now it is finally time to completely change the history of China.

"Whew~!"

Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion in his heart, took his attention back, took a long breath, and adjusted his physical state with his breath.

Playing a roll of brocade cotton steps, Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly, "The people of the Qin and Jin dynasties of Luoyan Ji, Qilu River, said: Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of which are in China to control Yidi, and Yidi to serve China outside, and I have not heard of Yidi living in China and controlling the world. Since the Qing Dynasty, Beidi has become the ruler of China...... Therefore, the prophet warned: When the soldiers arrive, the people should not avoid them. The order is serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the plug. Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will command my Chinese people to be in peace, and how can they be governed! I am afraid that the Middle Earth will be filthy and bloody for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so he will lead the heroes to fight to clear up, aiming to chase away the Hulu, eliminate the riots, and make the people get their place, the shame of China, and the people's body! Therefore, I would like to inform you that it is advisable to know. ”

Basically copied it according to the "Oracle", Zheng Chenggong finished reading it aloud, picked up the bowl brought by the guard, and held it high.

"Soldiers, this battle will definitely snow the shame of China, not drive out the Tartars, and restore China. Come, everyone! ”

Zheng Chenggong picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth, gulping down the spirits, and the excess wine was spilled on the ground from the sides of his mouth.

Zheng Chenggong drank all the wine in the bowl, threw the bowl on the ground and shouted: "Come on, press the Tartars up, sacrifice the flag!" ”

Doni, the prince of Yu of the Qing Dynasty, was escorted up by several guards.

Seeing the white dangling blade, Doni was so frightened that he peed his pants directly. He tried desperately to struggle, but he was held down by the guards and fell to his knees on the platform, unable to break free at all.

At this time, the drum sounded, and the rapid drum beat made the heart excited.

A topless executioner stepped onto the stage, drank a bowl of wine, and raised the devil-headed broadsword in his hand.

Facing the morning sun, it emitted a dazzling light, and when the drum beat reached its climax, the executioner's broadsword swung down like lightning, and with the flash of the sword, Donidon's head was graded.

Blood was splashed on the sacrificial flag, and Zheng Chenggong roared with a wave of his hand, "Let's go!" ”

With Zheng Chenggong's order, Zheng Jiajun marched to the north with neat footsteps, "stepping on the ......"

Northern expedition!

The Northern Expedition, which has been prepared for nearly three years, is finally about to begin today!

Under the joint planning of the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff, the State Bureau of Investigation and other departments, the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked the Manchu Qing Dynasty in three ways, hoping to settle the country in one battle.

Gan Hui served as the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, leading 100,000 elite soldiers out of Jiangsu, taking Shandong first and removing the barrier of the Qing Dynasty; Advance to Henan, fasten the left flank, and then march into the capital.

Zhou Quanbin served as the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, leading 150,000 Zheng troops out of Sichuan to attack northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and then Tongguan. Capture Gansu and Shanxi, converge with the East Road army, and besiege the capital together.

Zheng Chenggong led 50,000 Zheng family navy to attack Jinzhou across the sea, occupy Shanhaiguan, cut off the back road of the Qing army, and block the Manchu Qing in the pass.

In order to attract the attention of the Manchus, the occupation was carried out by the Eastern Route Army first.

About 8 miles east of Suqian City, an army of more than 5,000 people is marching along the official road to Suqian City.

Due to the darkness of the night, the soldiers in the gallop were holding torches in their hands, and the light of the fire stretched for hundreds of steps, looking from afar, like a swimming fire dragon.

"Quick, quick! Speed up ......" at the forefront of the team, Yang Cai couldn't help but shout loudly urging his corporal to speed up the march.

Since there are not many soldiers and horses in Suqian City now, Yang Cai still thinks that he can get a good head, easily capture Suqian, and shoot the first shot!

Suqian City is between the Zheng army and the Qing army, the city is not big, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

Ao Bai also knew that if the Zheng Jiajun really attacked with all their might, Suqian would not be able to hold it at all.

Therefore, Ao Bai did not think about the deployment of heavy troops in Suqian, but only dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and the most important task was to play a warning role when the Zheng family army was going to attack on a large scale, so that Xuzhou City in the rear could be prepared.

Although Ao Bai has always warned the Qing army in Suqian to always be vigilant against the Zheng family, the superiors did not pay attention to it, and the Zheng family army had not sent anyone to harass them in the past two years, and the soldiers guarding the gate in Suqian were not a little wary.

When Yang Cai led the soldiers and horses to arrive, there were not many patrols in the city at all, and most of the people hid downwind and were lazy.

Yang Cai led the troops to the city, he was not even interested in asking the enemy to call for battle, and directly ordered the artillery pulled by an ox cart to fire a volley at the head of the city.

Eight light guns weighing 1,000 pounds bombarded at the same time, with an earth-shattering roar. At close range, all eight shells hit, and the closed gate was suddenly torn apart.

Seeing the city gate wide open, Yang Cai hurriedly ordered the soldiers to attack.

The sleeping green battalion soldiers of the Qing army woke up the cannon, and when they hurriedly ran out with weapons, they found that they had been surrounded by the Zheng family's army.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun aimed at him, without waiting for Yang to shout surrender, these green battalion soldiers immediately threw the weapons in their hands and shouted loudly, "My lord, we are willing to surrender, we surrender ......"

Except for a few unlucky people who twisted their feet, the Zheng Jiajun captured Suqian with basically no casualties.

Yang Cai left 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard the captives and maintain stability in the city, and he led his troops to advance quickly.

Aobai's 70,000 troops were stationed in Xuzhou, and if Xuzhou was not captured for a day, it would not be able to capture Shandong for a day. (To be continued.) )
