Chapter 1035: Crushing the Foreign Dog
Humen, one of the eight major gates of the Pearl River system flowing into the South China Sea. Located in Shajiao, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, the runoff from Guò Humen into the Lingding Ocean includes all of the runoff from the Dongjiang River, part of the runoff from the Xijiang and Beijiang rivers, and part of the runoff from the Pearl River Delta itself. Humen is a strong tidal gate, and the tidal throughput ranks first among the eight major gates.
Humen, is the mouth of the Pearl River, is also the coastal defense fortress of China's south gate, the Ming Dynasty has set up military facilities, to the eve of the Opium War, the east and west banks have been built Nanshan, Hengduan, Shajiao, Dajiao, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, consolidation, Yong'an, Dahu, Xinyong, Jiaomen and other forts. Therefore, Humen Haikou has the reputation of "Golden Lock and Copper Pass" and "Great Wall of the South China Sea". However, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and at the beginning of the Opium War, it was humiliated and sued for peace, and self-destructed the "Great Wall". However, it was difficult to be outnumbered, coupled with backward weapons, and was refused to help by Qi Shan, although after a bloody battle, the fort was finally lost, and patriotic officers and soldiers such as Guan Tianpei and Chen Liansheng also sacrificed their lives for the country.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen This is the first time to go to the coast of Guangdong, he has never been here in several lifetimes, but what happened here in history, he remembers it vividly, looking at the flag of the four-nation alliance on the Humen Fort, his eyes are moist.
The Dutch, Anglo-Portuguese alliance was obviously underprepared, and they had received the news that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was going to take action against them, but the news they received was that the 200,000 Ming troops were still on the way from Fujian to Guangdong, and their defensive positions were mainly arranged in the land direction! I didn't expect the Daming Water Division to be able to rush from the Korean battlefield to Guangdong so quickly!
Moreover, only twenty battleships came? Although the ships are very large. But it was not the size of the battleship that shocked the officers of the Four-Nation Alliance. It's the speed of the battleship! That's more than five times the size of the most advanced Dutch warships!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Immediately there was something that shocked the Four-Nation Coalition even more. Just when the more than 400 warships were still assembling and preparing to leave the port for battle, the Daming Central Naval Division had already launched an offensive! What shocked them was the huge superiority of the Daming artillery! The range is three times and the fire damage is five times greater! It's completely being crushed.
In less than half an hour, hundreds of four-nation coalition warships sank one after another! The coalition has collapsed, and although it claims to be an army of 50,000, more than half of these 50,000 are South Asian mercenaries, as well as blacks. Mercenaries of all kinds make up more than two-thirds! And the countries did not give much supply to the army at home, and it was mainly the merchant groups of various countries in the Far East that financed this army! If the merchants saw these armies being crushed like ants, they didn't know how to feel.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at the warships of the Four-Nation Alliance that had fled, shook his head slightly, and smiled contemptuously, "Completely vulnerable, immediately send an order, attack from all sides, and not let a single battleship escape!" Do not accept the surrender of foreigners in any way, will all wear military uniforms. All foreigners who don't have the status of businessmen are killed! ”
A funny scene appeared, more than three hundred battleships. Running slowly, and not daring to fight back at all, the huge wooden boats are like a bunch of stupid pigs! This made Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but despise again!
The news that the emperor has arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River seems to have made all the people of Guangdong eat explosives, and the entire Guangzhou area is crazy, including the old and weak, women and children have taken up the weapon of resistance, the navy has been wiped out, the retreat of the Four-Nation Alliance has been broken, and now there is no chance to negotiate, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen and the leadership of the Four-Nation Alliance Army did not expect that in one day, the Four-Nation Alliance Army will be completely defeated! They fled in the direction of Guangxi, and along the way they were constantly beaten by the people of Guangdong who fell into water dogs, and the Chinese took the initiative to fight the war, and it was very powerful to fight water dogs.
Tens of thousands of people who didn't have time to get out of Guangzhou City, as well as the Four-Nation Alliance Army stuck in Humen, surrendered to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen accepted the temporary surrender of the foreigners!
Remember, temporarily! Foreigners obviously do not have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, after being accepted by Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, they were very happy, which also made many foreigners who escaped from the range of Guangzhou, could not bear the pain of no food, and had to flee to Guangxi on foot, and returned to Humen to surrender to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, 50,000 four-nation coalition army, only escaped less than 2,000 people, the rest were either killed, or surrendered to the Ming army, before and after less than seven days of effort.
At this time, Zou Weilian arrived with the army recruited from Jiangxi, as well as the army of Fujian that could not resist the Four-Nation Alliance, a total of 240,000 people!
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen ordered the army to drive the more than 20,000 people of all races of the Four-Nation Alliance who had surrendered to the urn city of Guangzhou.
Zou Weilian guessed what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was going to do, and the people who came to watch around Guangzhou also guessed what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was going to do, and those foreigners of the Four Nations Alliance who were tied their hands and driven by the Ming army also guessed what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was going to do, but it was too late to resist, they felt that they were lonely like a pack of wild dogs.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, shouted in proficient English, with the full of temperament Ji Gang Jiu's internal force, "I am the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen!" I will give you a chance, you will fight each other, and if you die to the last hundred people, I will give you a chance to return to China, and I will never break my word! ”
"Oh, NO!"
"Devil!"
All kinds of roars sounded at the same time, and the foreigners, who had been hungry for a week, seemed to suddenly regain their strength!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen lit a cigarette with a smile, looking at the scene of crazy demons dancing below, Zou Weilian and Yang Sichang next to him, as well as Chen Qiyu and Chen Xinjia, had already asked those who knew English, and understood what the emperor just said meant, they were all the first time to hear the emperor speak foreign language.
Gradually, the common people and the army understood what the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian meant, even though the foreigners killed many Chinese, but these soldiers and people of Daming still couldn't bear to see such a scene, and no one was willing to leave, they were all concerned about how the situation would develop
