Chapter 1186: Fleet
Zhao Hongyu's stay in Tongzhou has unified their thinking.
That is to leave Tongzhou without risk, after all, in the periphery of Tongzhou, there have been Manchu scouts, and at the same time, the Manchu army is divided into small forces, and when besieging the Beijing Division, the villages and towns around the Beijing Division have launched a dehumanizing massacre and plunder.
With the little soldiers and horses left by Zhao Hongyu in Tongzhou, there is no way to turn the tide.
Therefore, they could only grit their teeth, endure the anger in their hearts, and wait for the moment when Zhao Hongyu returned.
As long as Zhao Hongyu comes back from Jingshi, then with the anti-heaven plug-in, this revenge is not impossible to revenge.
And they can't do such a thing as needless death.
Besides, if they leave to fight the Manchurians, what will happen to the three battleships left at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf?
That's all that matters.
Without these three battleships, it would not have been possible for a single person to leave.
This is their last retreat.
And the colonel firmly believed that although his highness was besieged in the capital city, he would not be in any danger.
After the Manchurians withdrew their troops, he could leave safely-
Dividing Line –
The collapse of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and the siege of the Manchurian army in Beijing, it can be said that the current situation is very critical.
In order to ensure that the retreat road was smooth, the Manchus not only left a force of more than 30,000 people in Liaodong, but also sent an army of about 40,000 people to suppress the Shandong Prefecture.
Shandong in the Ming Dynasty was known as Dengzhou.
Although this place is not very inconspicuous, it is a very important military place on the east side of the Ming Dynasty.
Because from the north of Dengju, it was possible to clamp Korea and Houjin, and the east to reach the Wa Kingdom.
And in Dengzhou in this era, the place where it was administered was even Tianjin in later generations.
Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the city of Tianjin did not exist, and now it is only a small town.
Only after the Manchurians entered the Central Plains. Tianjin will emerge and slowly develop.
At the same time, because Dengzhou is very close to the Jingshi road, it can be regarded as a gate of the Jingshi on the east side.
And Huang Taiji is also very clear about this.
Dengzhou has 120,000 Ming troops, although the combat effectiveness is not comparable to the elite of Liaodong who was wiped out, but it should not be underestimated.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Dengzhou army from copying his own back road, Huang Taiji had already made some arrangements for this.
The Houjin army, which numbered 40,000 in the number of people who were arranged to suppress Dengzhou, was only a little more than 10,000 of them who were really Manchurian, mainly with the Zhenglan Banner.
The remaining 30,000 or so horses were all Han Chinese who had joined the Later Jin. That is, to return to the army.
Huang Taiji's order was very simple, that is, to scare Dengzhou and make it look like he was going to attack, but in fact it was just that.
The main purpose was to make it impossible for the defenders of Dengzhou to copy their own rear roads, and at the same time disturb their military morale, so that they could not send a large number of soldiers and horses to support the Beijing division in a short period of time.
After all, Dengzhou is very close to Jingshi, and if you send troops from Dengzhou, you can reach Jingshi City in about two days.
If it is so easy for the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou to support the Beijing Division, this is for the Huang Taiji army besieging the Beijing Division. It's not a good thing.
You must know that Huang Taiji is most worried about Huang Taiji now that the Ming army will come to help in a short time, which will disrupt his deployment and planning.
After all. Huang Taiji also wanted to scare the Ming Emperor in the Jingshi, as well as the courtiers.
If you want to do this, it will take time to do it.
At this time, Dengzhou Mansion was already a rumor. Because the fierce Liaodong barbarian cavalry of Houjin has appeared in Anfu Town, which borders Liaodong in Dengzhou, and has conquered Anfu Town in a very short time. At the same time, as well as its ferocious and vicious methods, they slaughtered the men, women and children in the town, and plundered the wealth of the town.
And, after doing all this, the Houjin army put on a posture of attacking Dengzhou.
This made the Dengzhou garrison, generals, and prefects feel nervous and afraid.
Because it is very close to Liaodong, they are no strangers to the Manchurians.
even said that like the Ming Army in Liaodong, he knew the Manchurians very well.
It is because of this deep understanding that they feel scared and panicked.
In their impression, the Manchurians were terrible, fierce, and cruel guys, and the Ming army basically lost more and won less when they fought against them.
Even if it is an elite such as the Liaodong Army, isn't it defeated by the Manchurians.
The Dengzhou Army, which is much worse than the Liaodong Army, is definitely not their opponent.
The ghost knows what these Manchurians think, they didn't even solve the matter of Liaodong, and they actually came to attack Dengzhou Mansion.
How good is that!
In the end, after the discussion of the high-level officials of the Dengzhou Mansion, they decided to stay behind closed doors.
But at this time, the news that the elite of Yang Fengyi in Liaodong was destroyed in Yehuling and trapped in Kidnapping City came over.
At this moment, the generals and prefects of Dengzhou Mansion still had garrisons, and they did not dare to send troops to meet the enemy.
So far, it can be said that Huang Taiji's plan is basically a success.
After suppressing the defenders of Dengzhou Mansion, they would not dare to increase the number of troops in Liaodong, so Houjin could keep Liaodong's retreat unimpeded.
At the same time, with such a timid performance of the Dengzhou Army, it was impossible for him to react quickly after receiving a letter of help from the Jingshi.
Because they need to think about it, once they divide their troops to rescue the Beijing Division, what should they do if the Houjin army, which has come to the border of Dengzhou, takes advantage of the situation to attack Dengzhou?
This kind of thing has to be considered.
Huang Taiji has long understood the mentality of the generals of the Ming army.
Timid and selfish, in the face of such a general, Huang Taiji is not worried at all that his plan will not succeed.
In fact, everything is going according to his plan, and it is going very well.
For this game of chess, Huang Taiji can be said to be very satisfied.
It's just that Huang Taiji doesn't know what to do, and there are still some things in the dark that he can't calculate.
For example, he didn't know that there had been a deviation in the history of the Dao, and a little butterfly had come in this era of time and space. This little butterfly is desperately flapping its wings in the Americas, and it has brought great changes to many countries and regions in the world in this era.
Among them, the most affected are Europe, the Arab region and Southeast Asia. Even the Wa Kingdom, under the interference of the little butterfly in the Americas, ceded Kyushu.
And this little butterfly has come to Daming, and lives in the Jingshi.
At the same time, in the open sea of Dengzhou, that is, the Yellow Sea in modern society, a large fleet appeared following the footsteps of a small butterfly.
What kind of impact the arrival of this fleet will have on Daming and Houjin, only the old man knows the way.
The number of ships in this fleet is more than one hundred and fifty. And the hulls of these ships are very huge, and from the appearance point of view, it is clear that the road is definitely not the type of ship in the East.
On the poles of these huge warships, a flag with a red background was hung, and there was a pattern of one large, four small and five stars on the surface of the flag.
Not bad!
This fleet left from the Americas and came to the east to support Zhao Hongyu, with the army led by Jay Chou.
In fact, Jay Chou should have been able to come to Daming seven days ago.
But on the way. He was delayed by a few small things.
One of them was that when they were passing through Manila, they suddenly encountered the aborigines besieging Manila and massacring the Chinese.
As a hawk in the Song Imperial Army. At the same time, he is also a member of the Great China Chauvinism Association, and of course Jay Chou will not sit idly by and ignore such a thing.
Besides, earlier in the south of Manila, Jay Chou was disgusted by the natives of Southeast Asia. Although he had already punished the local indigenous tribe. But there was still a little anger in his heart, and it had dissipated.
Now the natives here in Manila actually dare to massacre the Chinese!
This kind of thing is absolutely unbearable.
The Chinese in Manila at the time. It has joined forces with the Spaniards stationed here after the destruction of the country, and is fighting against the local indigenous coalition forces.
Although they joined forces with the Spaniards, after all, the natives had the home field advantage and they were outnumbered.
Therefore, the Chinese and Spaniards slowly fell behind.
Some of the Chinese who did not have time to retreat into Manila were brutally murdered by the natives outside the city.
The Spaniards were not spared.
Kill the red-eyed natives, who cares if you are Chinese or Spanish at this time.
For them, both Chinese and Spaniards belong to outsiders, and they are objects they can slaughter.
Because of the loss of their motherland, the Spaniards could only be left in Southeast Asia, and hoped to join the Ming Dynasty as their subjects, so that they could have something to rely on.
However, before the news arrived, such a thing happened.
When Jay Chou saw the smoke in Manila and sent someone to inquire about the situation, he immediately made a decision, that is, to clean up the local aborigines.
After the soldiers of the fleet got the news, they were also in a surge.
Most of the soldiers in the Song Imperial Army were trained in Chinese chauvinism, so it was impossible for them to sit idly by and watch the natives slaughter the Chinese.
Of course, those who accept this kind of ideological edification are mainly of Chinese descent.
For example, the Europeans who joined by exception, or the Indians, they have not been educated in such a doctrine.
After all, their skin color and ethnicity are still very different from those of Chinese descent.
Of course, for these people, Zhang Tie and Song Hu focus on the next generation, rather than on these people.
Therefore, this is still a long way to go.
Jay Chou leads an army of about 30,000 people, which is quite a force for Manila.
In particular, the army of the Song Empire used sharper weapons than the Spaniards.
So, when Jay Chou's army landed, the end of the aborigines came...... (To be continued......)
