Chapter 792: The Fall of Aceh II

"Ladies and gentlemen." Wu Ming said.

With a "brush", the officers in both rows all stood up, as if they were rows of wood, standing straight.

On both sides of Wu Ming, on one side are the generals of the water division, and on the other side are the generals of the Yongjun army.

Wu Ming's gaze swept over both sides and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong said that he protected the safety of all Nanyang Chinese, and Yaqi slaughtered the Chinese, His Royal Highness King Yongwang felt that this was a slap in the face, and the lord humiliated his ministers to death." None of the Aceh people can live, this is the promise of His Royal Highness King Yong to all the Chinese in Nanyang, kill a Chinese, that princely state must hand over the murderer, and if a group of Chinese are slaughtered, it is extermination. This time, His Royal Highness King Yong gave me the order to kill, and not a single one of the strong men of Aceh that could be seen would be left. ”

Wu Ming has been following Zhu Houhuang since he was in Beijing, and he has been following Zhu Houhuang for more than ten years now, and he has some obvious signs of aging, and the years are not forgiving.

Wu Ming's ability is known to him, although he is familiar with Dongyong's military system and some fighting styles in Dongyong's army, because many of these tactical principles were formulated by Wu Ming.

But he can and will only use soldiers in accordance with the rules of the army, which is the limit of his talent. Everyone has his upper limit, and Wu Ming is a scout of the army around him, although his head is very flexible, but he has not read since he was a child, he is illiterate, and he only learned to read and write with Zhu Houhuang, which obviously limits his upper limit.

Moreover, Qi Jingtong is also old.

Qi Jingtong is old and has a son, and he has Qi Jiguang in his forties. Now Qi Jiguang can fight, Qi Jingtong is also in his sixties, maybe in his sixties now, he is still in the year of fighting. But in this era, it is already included in the list of decay.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang decided to let Wu Ming replace Qi Jingtong to take over the Privy Council.

However, Wu Ming must have credit for taking over the Privy Council.

In this battle, Zhu Houhuang specially arranged for Wu Ming to take credit.

First of all, the Franco-mechanics had already solved the naval division of the Acehnese, and although the warships of Dongyong were not enough, there were a large number of transport ships, and when the coastal operation was made, the Yong army had the initiative.

And this time, although there are not many troops led by Wu Ming, they are the main force of Dongyong, which is on par with the army led by Yu Dayou, and even Long Xiangwei was transferred out by Wu Ming.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these 30,000 people definitely exceed the combat effectiveness of the Acehnese, and the Acehnese are like arrows, and there are too many means to use.

Zhu Houhuang also summed it up, let Wu Ming fight, don't let him fight a war with inferior military strength, he has little chance of winning, but let him fight a battle with superior military strength, he can definitely fight evenly, there may be greater casualties, but it will definitely not fail, and the possibility of capsizing in the gutter is not great.

That's what this battle is.

Wu Ming said directly: "In this battle, we have to conquer Medan and suppress the Acehnese people east of Medan. Now I'll start assigning tasks. ”

Wu Ming took out the direct notebook and assigned all the tasks one by one.

Each one has a different style of conducting. Anyway, Wu Ming's style is extremely dogmatic and rigid. It was Wu Ming himself who was self-aware and knew that he was not an excellent general, and everything he did was placed in the army.

After all, he saw with his own eyes how Yongjun's regulations were formed, and for him, Yongjun's system was the one he mastered the most.

The name Medan seems to come from the holy city of Mecca.

It is a sacred name for Islam.

Although it was a newly conquered territory in Aceh, it did not suffer much war, and even retained its semi-independent character because of the large number of Muslims here.

Aceh's conquest of this place was very easy, and there was almost no sword and gun, just negotiations at the top.

Now, however, it has been subjected to war.

They did not at all expect that so many enemies would come ashore from the sea, and overnight all the ships would be destroyed on the shore, and under the suppression of the roaring artillery, there would be soldiers landing from both sides.

This is what Zhu Houhuang advocated to give full play to the advantages of artillery fire.

But here in Medan, there is no artillery at all.

I have to say that this is just a small town, not even as good as a county in Dongyong.

Not everywhere there are many people, before the population explosion, many places were quite sparsely populated, and the last small Muslim state that thrived on the port was simply not able to withstand the offensive of Dongyong.

It's only been a few hours.

Wu Ming set foot in the largest building here and returned to the temple.

The arc roof, the signs of the crescent moon, and a large number of people wrapped in white veils, they all dared to look at Wu Ming angrily but did not dare to speak.

Wu Ming did not wash the boots on the soles of his shoes, and stepped back to the temple, leaving a clear footprint on the snow-white cashmere carpet.

No, not one, but a line. Soon these footprints were drowned in more footprints.

Wu Ming looked at the things they worshiped with contempt, turned around, looked at everyone below and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong, all Aceh people must die. Are you Acehnese? ”

Immediately, an interpreter conveyed Wu Ming's words.

In many places in Nanyang, there are Han people. Therefore, it is easy to find Han Chinese translation, but the language is different in different places, which has also become one of the obstacles to Zhu Houhuang's conquest of Nanyang.

Wu Ming still had a trace of compassion in his heart, although Zhu Houhuang gave him the order to kill, he was unwilling to slaughter civilians. Although the tone is vicious, it actually gives these people a glimmer of life.

Admit that it is the Acehnese who will die. Everyone suddenly became smart and immediately said: "No, no, Aceh is from the west, and none of us are Acehnese." ”

"Good." Wu Ming said: "Since they are not Acehnese, then they all come out to help Wang Shi and attack the Acehnese." ”

"This ---" Everyone was stunned for a while, and if they were given a choice, they were certainly unwilling to stand with the Acehnese, but they were even more reluctant to stand with these heretics in front of them.

Wu Ming didn't say anything, but slowly drew the knife, and the tip of the knife fell on the white cashmere carpet, and the blood that flowed down from somewhere stained the cashmere blackened.

Everyone knows what to do.

"We are willing to obey the orders of the king." Everyone said together.

Wu Ming nodded, and said to the Han people around him: "This place will be requisitioned as my mansion, you let them out, and tell them to learn to speak Chinese more in the future." Otherwise, ----" After Wu Ming finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, a large number of soldiers occupied this Huihui temple and drove the people inside outside.

Wu Ming occupies this place, in fact, it is not to give these people a good look, but the best building for the locals is the Hui Temple, and Wu Ming does not requisition what to requisition here.

Wu Ming, as a border army scout, has always believed in the power of swords and guns, more than any faith.

Regardless of whether these Muslims were unwilling, they were all driven out, and under the arrangement of the Yongjun, collaborators were selected from among the Han people in the city to take care of these Hui strong men, and they were driven out of the city one by one to dig field fortifications.

Although Dongyong's musket was powerful, the bulky musket was not very suitable for field warfare, so field fortifications also became something advocated by Zhu Houhuang.

Of course, every era has its own characteristics.

The field fortifications of this era were not trenches, but low walls, but trenches were dug in front of the low walls to block the enemy's attack, and the enemy was more exposed to the blow of muskets.

Regardless of whether these are willing or not, the strong men in the entire city may not be as numerous as the Yong army, and they will not be able to resist Wu Ming's order no matter what

Within three days, a decent fortification appeared east of Medan City, blocking most of the road.

The sea to the north, the mountains to the south, and the narrow plain in the middle were mostly blocked by this, and it was almost impossible to get around them if they didn't conquer here, and of course, there was no way for them to drill into the forest. However, in this era, many of the mountains and forests in this place are primeval forests, and you can refer to the wild mountain people.

After all, the latitude here is even lower than where Savage Mountain is. Where is by no means an easy place to pass. ()
