Yang Feng was indeed ready to do this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Restricting the offensive ability of the Ming army, the main thing is the logistics supply, at this time the transportation is basically relying on the river, land transportation can be short-distance, long-distance is completely unrealistic.

What if there is no river?

Even where there is a river, the winter in the north still has to be frozen, what about then?

Now don't talk about other places, he is attacking from Luoyang to Guanzhong, and the logistics problems are difficult to solve, and the land route is nothing more than the Kunshan Culvert, and it is completely unrealistic to rely on that rugged mountain road to support the consumption of tens of thousands of troops. This is not the era of cold weapons, as long as there is a food supply, one person can fight with a knife, the Ming army's artillery bullets and rockets have to be transported from the rear, and it is impossible to support it by land, not to mention anything else, just a heavy rocket pulled by a horse-drawn cart, and it is a very exaggerated thing to take that ancient mountain road.

As for the waterway, it is the Yellow River shipping.

Sanmenxia.

This is not the era of repairing the Sanmenxia Reservoir, the surging Yellow River flows freely to the east, the gods and ghosts and the three gates, that is the real Ghost Gate, expecting this waterway to support him to attack Guanzhong and even Longyou, Hexi, and even the Western Regions, it is also unrealistic, not to mention that after passing Xi'an, the waterway is basically completely cut off, he can't expect the carriage to pull the ammunition supply army to play a 10,000-mile expedition, right?

Only railways can be built.

In the future, if he wants to attack westward, then he can only learn the way the United States expands westward, and wherever the railway extends, the territory of the Ming Empire will extend.

The first step is to repair the Luoyang to Tongguan section, supporting him to seize Guanzhong, which is the shortest goal, the canal plus the Yellow River and the Jialuo River, the materials will be transported to Luoyang first, and then transported from Luoyang to Tongguan, of course, the premise is that he has to lay Tongguan first, so that he can support him to lay Xi'an.

Then from Haizhou, that is, Lianyungang, to Xuzhou, step by step to Luoyang, completely get rid of the shadow of the Yellow River and the canal freezing and cutting off shipping, and the materials in the south can be directly ashore in Lianyungang and transported to Guanzhong by rail, so that he can support his attack from Xi'an to farther away. This section is also difficult to repair from Luoyang to Tongguan, and it is not difficult to lay rails in other places on the Great Plains, even if the technical difficulty of building a bridge on the Yellow River is relatively large, it is not a big deal to ferry first.

The really difficult part of this railway is actually the section from Baoji to Tianshui, which is the cecum of the Longhai Railway.

But by that time, basically the overall situation of the world had been decided, and it was not a big deal for him to repair it with the strength of the whole country, wasn't it just labor, and the Americans took the bones of Chinese laborers to spread over the Rocky Mountain, and he took the bones of prisoners of war to spread over this section, and after this section all the way to the Tianshan Mountains, there was no too difficult place. The rest is a matter of time, as he said, ten years will not work for twenty years, twenty years will not work for thirty years, he estimates that there is not much pressure to live for another fifty years, and if he can't repair the Netherlands after fifty years, then he will simply find a place to crash and die.

At the end of the day, he doesn't lack time.

Just as Yang Feng was standing on the train with fierce ambitions, a new round of large-scale attacks by the Ming army had already begun.

Hefei.

"Qing Dynasty soldiers, there is no surrender!"

The governor and admiral of Anhui, another famous minister of the Kangxi Dynasty who was often confused with Yu Chenglong, Yu Chenglong, stood on the Nanxun Gate hysterically waving his sword and shouting, his beard and white face with a sickly flush.

The defenders of Chaohu surrendered without a fight, let go of the gate to enter Chaohu Lake, the Ming army's inland river fleet went north along the lake, entered the Xianghe River and reached Hefei City, the Han army was blue Governor Yu had no choice at this time, only to fight to the end, sacrifice his life to kill himself, anyway, falling into the hands of the Ming army is also the end of being a coolie exhausted, it is better to do it vigorously, maybe Taizu Taizong is blessed by the spirit of heaven, we have the day when the Qing Dynasty and Zhongxing, at that time he believed that he would be immortal.

But it's clear that loyal ministers are not so easy to be.

"Fire!"

On the artillery position of the Ming army outside the city of Hefei, a fifteen-pound rifled gun aimed at the front city wall in the artillery emplacement covered by the earthen wall, with the commander's command, constantly sprayed out blazing flames, one by one the shells roared and flew forward, with a huge force to hit the brick-clad city wall, although it was just an ordinary solid cannonball, but the weight and kinetic energy of the cannonball still hit the bricks on the city wall and fell apart, and then hit into the rammed earth inside, causing a large piece of rammed earth to collapse.

There are no armor bullets, and there are no flowering bullets.

This is very inconsistent with the Ming army's usual violent style.

The reason is simple.

There are still more than 30,000 old and weak women and children tied to the city wall of Hefei.

If it weren't for these hostages, Yu Chenglong would still be a fart, with the army composed of more than 10,000 refugees and clothes in his hands, what would he do to stop the Ming army? Although Hefei is also known for being tall and strong, it can't stop the heavy rocket, and the trick that Ahsan and others thought of at the beginning was their only hope, although Ahsan and others failed, but that doesn't mean that this tactic can't work, if it is not against the Yang demon, this tactic is still very effective.

Isn't it a success now!

"Lord Futai is clever, the thief army is helpless now."

On the Nanxun Gate, a group of green insects surrounded the governor and praised in unison, behind them a large number of people who were tied up by ropes glared angrily, and beside these people, those armed Eight Banners and Baoyi women and children held swords one by one, trembling and watching in the sound of cannons, and on the city wall, those barely able flag men and clothed men operated cannons, constantly firing at the artillery positions of the Ming army outside the city, and even many loyal green insects were also helping them.

Well, now the green worms also recognize Yang Feng's true face.

So far, the imperial examination has not been held, and the local people's election model has been basically fixed, for the green worms, this is simply equivalent to the heinous painting, before that was not to see his true face, in addition to being confused by his respect for Wang Yangming, he always had a trace of illusion about him, but now all the scholars who have a little backbone will no longer be with this demon. Especially after he nominally educated Yuanren and actually exiled Yan Shenggong and thousands of Jinshi Juren, he completely stood on the opposite side of the green worms, and even the Wang Yangming lineage he respected has now been expelled from the Confucian ranks by the Zhu Pao Gray line, which occupies the absolute mainstream.

Of course, this was outside the area controlled by the Ming army.

In fact, the situation in the area controlled by the Ming army was basically reversed, and the Baguwen was completely thrown into the garbage heap, on the contrary, Wang Yangming's system, especially the rebellious Taizhou system, began to gradually become a trend, and even Yang Feng's official election model was whitewashed as a retro Shengming move, and now the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties has gradually changed to the battle of Confucianism and Taoism as Yang Feng wished.

Those green insects were sincerely admiring, a high cannonball whistling over their heads, and then crashed into the city tower, although it was not a flowering shell, but still made the tiles and bricks on the city tower rain down, many hostages below and the old and weak of the Eight Banners guarding were immediately smashed into a wail, even those green insects, a few of them were broken bricks, and they jumped to their feet in pain.

"The catastrophe of the Qing Dynasty, the birth of this demon, the prosperous world is in the blink of an eye, and the people are innocent, and they are so innocent that they have suffered this catastrophe!"

Looking at this scene, Governor Yu couldn't help but sigh with pity.

"My lord, Luzhou has always been a place of loyalty and righteousness, and the people of the Qing Dynasty have been gracious, although they hate not to go into battle to kill thieves, but at this time, they can build this Great Wall of flesh and blood for the Qing Dynasty and the Holy Lord, even if they are crushed, they have no regrets!"

A green worm said righteously.

"Well, that's a good point!"

Governor Yu patted him on the shoulder and said.

The people behind them who were tied up with flowers were so angry that their eyes were on fire, and they were obviously defeated by the shamelessness of these two.

However, this trick did make the Ming army very passive, because it was not possible to use flowering shells, especially armor shells, although simple solid shells could also collapse the city wall, but in order to achieve the effect of flat fire, the cannon must be pushed forward as far as possible within two miles, so as to give full play to the power of solid shells. But in this way, the range advantage of the Ming army's artillery is gone, in fact, the Qing army's artillery has become a mutual bombardment within the range, the Ming army can directly bombard the city wall, and the Qing army on the city wall can also bombard the Ming artillery, even if there are a large number of snipers of long-range sniper Qing gunner interference, after a period of bombardment, there are still Ming artillery destroyed.

"This can't be done, so even if we can blast through the city wall of Hefei, our brothers will have to brave the fire of the Tartars, especially when crossing this section of the moat, I'm afraid there will be one or two thousand casualties."

In the headquarters of the Ming Army, He Jin, commander of the Fourth Army, said.

Now the total strength of the Ming army has exceeded 30 brigades, completely in accordance with Yang Feng's original idea of the establishment, with four infantry brigades, a cavalry brigade, a heavy artillery brigade as an army, a total of five armies, two of which are in the north, one army in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other two armies are used for Huainan operations, of which the first army goes north along the canal, and the fourth army goes out of Hefei to attack Shouchun and then to Henan, but the first battle is blocked under the city of Hefei.

"There is no problem with the collapse of the city wall, the artillery of the Tartars is very bad, although the artillery has a little loss but it is not big, now the concentrated artillery bombardment of the Nanfumen Gate, it is estimated that it will be almost able to bombard at noon, the city wall is only rammed earth, the solid cannonball is just gnawed, it is nothing more than a matter of time, but when the assault is faced with the fire on the city wall, and can not be suppressed by the fire of the first bullet, it is indeed inevitable to have large casualties."

His chief of staff said.

"But the prince has a strict order, and a large number of casualties among the common people must be avoided, and if you really want to use a type of bullet and a flowering bullet, you will have to kill and injure at least a few thousand people."

Then he said helplessly.

"Okay, it seems that we have to think of some good tricks, Ma, after defeating Hefei, Lao Tzu has to make Yu Cheng Long."

He Jin said with a gloomy face. (To be continued.) )
