"If you have a Ming Zhuka, follow me!"

On the ruins of a bombed-out square, the 7,000 men of the Inscription Battalion were here.

Since Zhang Yuchun's death, Liu Ming has passed on Liu Liumazi to be the first fierce general in Li Shaoquan's shogunate.

Before he was sent to the Western Regions to participate in the Western Chu's Western Expedition, from the beginning of suspicion and resistance, to the end he became a trusted comrade of the Ming Dynasty, and even became a brother with a different surname with General Zhao Xizhu, the protector of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a bit of a mess.

Because Zhao Xizhu once married Jin Lan with King Chu Yi.

And the king of Chu, Liu Songshan, and Bai Zhixin are the sworn brothers of the Eight Classics.

Bai Zhixin is also the father-in-law of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

And Liu Mingchuan is a subordinate of Li.

Li Mouren faced His Majesty Zhu Fugui with the gift of his grandfather.

But Li's eldest son is a student of His Majesty Zhu Fugui's nephew, and he is a great disciple of the mountain.

All in all, the relationship here is quite complicated, and there is a lot of kinship with European royal families.

Anyway, what is certain is that as early as the Battle of Xi'an, Liu Mingchuan personally served as the bait to lure the enemy regardless of the danger, and made great contributions to the settlement of the siege of Xi'an by "Peace".

Later, when Bai Yanhu and Agubai Group fought, Liu Chuanming and the two or three hundred Huai troops he brought did not lose the face of the Anhui people, and they fought and captured the flag, advancing without retreating.

When it was time to worship the ancestors at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in northern Shaanxi, Zhu Fugui, who was obsessed with medals, awarded several sack medals along the way.

Liu Mingchuan and several outstanding Huai troops won the honor of "Emblem of Chinese Defenders".

Liu Mingchuan was also cordially received by Ming Xunzong and won the support of Xunzong.

The whole interview lasted 20 minutes and 5 seconds.

What they talked about between the monarchs and ministers was not found in any newspapers or magazines.

I only know that after that, all the Huai Army soldiers who participated in the Western Expedition automatically obtained a permanent Ming Zhu Card, and when they retired, they could choose to come to Daming to live at any time, and Zhu Tianzi would pay them retirement wages and enjoy basic medical insurance.

This is a difficult situation to define.

In essence, they are still from the Southern Tang Dynasty, but at the same time, they also have the citizenship rights of the Ming Dynasty.

The term dual citizenship is certainly not appropriate.

Because the Ming Dynasty does not recognize dual nationality, and the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty themselves are also monarchs and ministers, not a pure juxtaposition relationship, but closer to an inclusive relationship.

In Su Xunzong's words, this is called the theory of limited sovereignty, a kind of paternalistic chauvinism of the Celestial Empire.

But it may not be welcomed.

In addition, the collective awarding of Zhu Ka did not shy away from Li, Zhu Fugui greeted him, and Liu Mingchuan also took the initiative to report after returning to Suzhou.

According to the general script, this kind of blatant behavior of mixing sand, Liu Mingchuan's best fate is also to die of a black gun in the back on the battlefield.

But obviously, now Daming is taking the script of Lighthouse and Su Xiong.

If the American Dad wants to install a few people in the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office, or rather, the entire Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office is the American Daddy's people, does the Japanese Prime Minister dare to have any different opinions?

Similarly, Su Xunzong wants to arrange a few young men who are more pleasing to the eye and more comfortable to kiss to serve as the department heads of the satellite countries of Central and Eastern Europe, do those small countries dare to resist?

The answer is obvious.

Lord Li, he also chose to treat it as if nothing happened.

Not only that, but in terms of material allocation and personnel replenishment later, the inscription battalion was given the treatment second only to its own pro-standard battalion.

Among the more than 30 battalions in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the inscription battalion is the only one equipped with body armor and iron floating slaughter in addition to the pro-standard battalion, and the number is also the largest.

At this moment, in the face of the extremely fierce Yingyi ambush soldiers, it is natural for the inscription battalion to assume the heavy responsibility of frontal blocking.

And Liu Mingchuan also knew very well that the terrain in the port area was narrow and the enemy's artillery was sharp, and if the brigade of men and horses and hedgehogs were gathered in one place, it would only increase casualties.

Moreover, getting along with Zhao Xizhu and other Ming instructors day and night, Liu Mingchuan also saw what kind of demeanor a world-class army is.

Soldiers are expensive, not much.

Those ordinary Huai troops, it is okay to fight a good battle, in case the spirit of the strong ships and cannons in the face of foreigners collapses, and the bead curtain is reversed, it will destroy the entire arrangement of the Southern Tang Army.

It's better to take the elite division as the vanguard and fight to the death with the foreigners!

Soon, all the three hundred warriors who won the Daming Zhuka were listed.

Liu Mingchuan has a pockmarked face, and he doesn't need to wear makeup to play the owner of the melon stall, but at this time, this face is full of meat, but it makes people feel an iron-like determination.

"Everyone, we are all good men who drink the blood of Hu Lu in Yili, and they are warriors who have been certified by the Son of Heaven.

Gentlemen, follow this will kill the enemy! ”

"Kill!"

There was no alcohol here, but the brief pre-war mobilization also worked.

Three hundred vanguards, dressed in the same body armor and bulletproof helmets as the Great Tomorrow soldiers, holding German-made rifles and carrying a dozen grenades, headed towards the key node of the dock.

At the same time, bad news came from the direction of the battery.

Originally, Li Shaoquan sent several troops to take over the fort and use it against the British warships.

It turned out that these heroes could not be used at all.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the craftsmanship of the cannon itself.

There were five batteries in Cape Town, each with eight to twelve Armstrong 110-pounder guns.

This cannon was finalized in 1859, with a true caliber of 177.8 mm, firing 50 kg shells and an effective range of about 3,000 meters.

In today's European or North American theaters, such data is somewhat insufficient.

But in Africa, these coastal guns are enough to deter all pirates.

It is precisely because it is enough to deter pirates that it ......

What made Li's cerebral congestion almost seizure was that these foreigners were too greedy.

Only the top layer of these cannons' ammo boxes has ammunition, and the bottom is full of empty boxes.

And the copper castings of quite a few cannons were dismantled!

At first, Li thought that this was done by Yangyi on purpose, after all, they were trying to lure the enemy, not the enemy.

However, after the on-the-spot investigation of some Huaijun generals, they all insisted that this was greedy for money.

Those dusts, those traces can't be faked.

They know these things well, and they are too familiar with them!

As a result, Yingyi's cannon could not be counted on.

The Southern Tang Army could only carry the dozen or so Ming-made cannons it brought up the mountain by manpower.

This will undoubtedly be a huge waste of time.

Fortunately, during this time, those Yingyi fleets did not open fire, but frantically circled in the port.

Liu Mingchuan, who was lying in ambush in the temporary trench, could not wait for the British shelling for a long time, and felt very strange.

But he didn't dare poke his head out.

Because the place where they were ambushing was already very close to the best landing place in the port.

The easy probe easily exposed the target, which was subjected to devastating shelling by British ships.

Because they were afraid that the British would plough the ground with naval guns before landing, the limited number of tanks in the Southern Tang were placed far away.

In this way, it was necessary to resist the first wave of the British landing offensive.

Therefore, the task of the 300 warriors was to annihilate the first batch of Yingyi who landed, and not let them stand on the beachhead, so that the other battalions and armored troops could join the siege in time and attack the British army in half-crossing.
