Chapter 464: India Raiders

Day, nearly 10,000 Ming troops under the leadership of Zhang Youde quickly sat in the carriage, in order to Haidu speed forward, along the road of the states and counties have received a clear order, during the passage of Ming army vehicles, any vehicle all stop on the side of the road, let the army vehicles pass first, the entire passage through Haidu gallop immediately into a highway, a long line of carriages galloping day and night, after arriving in the state and county, and then immediately change horses, continue to hurry, and wait until Haidu, it is four days later.

Li Dingguo, Zhang Youde, and Liu Erren began to recruit the battalions of the Haidu Army and the Nanyang Naval Division in the name of the General Staff and the Governor-General, and on the other hand, they urged the three divisions of the Nanyang provinces to prepare grain and grass.

On the main ship, the ship~ ships shuttled back and forth from New Qiongzhou Island, and the brocade guards who reported the news boarded the deck one by one, and constantly transmitted the news of the East Indies to the temporary headquarters.

Fortunately, the new Chengdu city is still barely supporting, the native army is more and more, but the equipment is poor, the entire new Chengdu in the three layers, the outer three layers of a transparent encirclement, the new Chengdu colonial army is only 10,000 people, relying on firearms, relying on the city wall to refuse, and the colonial army on Qiongzhou Island because most of them are newly recruited recruits, the combat power is low, and even the firearms can not be mastered, several times with the help of a few warships to land have ended in failure.

According to the report of the Indian recruited by Jinyiwei, the initiator of this military operation is the king of Sunke in southern India, and the country of Sunk is one of the most advanced kings of Malati, and there are four kings of Malati in the whole of India who are out of the rule of the Mughal dynasty, among which the king of Sunke is the strongest, with a large area of land in the south and tens of millions of people, and the reason why the king of Sunk dares to go to war against the Ming Dynasty is first of all because the borders of the Mughal dynasty do not border his territory. Although the Mongols and the Malati fought for the dominance of this continent and the conflicts arising from religion for many years, the Sunk King was different from other Malati princes, the superior geographical location allowed him to have a good enough environment to develop quietly, and the East Indian Territory, which was also located in southern India, was coveted by the Sunk King for a long time, in the past, he was afraid of the Dutch and did not dare to act easily, but since the Ming Dynasty occupied the East Indies, the Sunk King immediately sent spies to collect intelligence in the East Indies.

When he knew that the Han Chinese, who had driven away the Dutch, did not send troops to this land but trained the natives to rule, his ambition became more and more inflated, and it became clear that the Indian natives were the most ineffective people, and a Marati knight could often eliminate more than five Indian natives, which made the king of Sunk despise the war power of the East Indies a lot, and the real trigger point of the war was the religious reform of the Ming Dynasty in the East Indies, which gave the king of Sunk enough excuses for war.

At the beginning, the war went very smoothly, King Ke's 50,000 matila cavalry, coupled with the temporary recruitment of 200,000 Indian native soldiers, quickly broke through the defense line of the new Sichuan border, and began to divide troops to occupy many large and small towns, and quickly advanced to the new city capital at a lightning speed. The Indian soldiers on the city wall condescended with fire cymbals and fired indiscriminately at the engineering army under the city like ants, this is not fatal The weapon that the army of the King of Sunk lost morale was a row of artillery at the head of the city, with the Han officer on the city head of the order, hundreds of Indian colonial soldiers manipulated the artillery to bombard the city under a burst of bombardment, although the accuracy was not good, the city was full of people, and wherever the iron ball fell, it caused great casualties.

For the first time, King Sunk realized that the Indian soldiers wearing novel costumes on the head of the city were not as vulnerable as he imagined, at least the strange weapons on the city wall were extremely powerful, and then the method used by King Sunk was a bit old-fashioned, besieging the city, besieging but not fighting, aren't your firearms powerful? Then we will attack, but don't think about it, see if you have more food in the city, or if I have enough patience.

King Sunk even thought of what it would mean if his army swarmed into the city and took all the weapons on the city for himself when the soldiers and civilians in the city were already hungry and out of breath.

Next, the king of Sunk has to face the Ming warships cruising on the coast, fortunately, there are not many warships of the Ming army, there are only more than 20 large and small, although several landings have been organized, but the Indian colonial soldiers who have landed are too few, at most only a few thousand, and they were killed by the Sunk army that swooped down on the beach. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

And in the new Qiongzhou. Nanyang Naval Division, Haidu Regiment. Together with the troops under review, a total of 100,000 people landed here. Nowadays, the entire port of New Qiongzhou is bustling everywhere

Soldier. The political envoys and commanders of Xinqiongzhou were happy to see the reinforcements from the imperial court. Hurriedly greeted at the harbor. A group of generals hurriedly went ashore under the leadership of Li Dingguo. Then he went straight to the Yamen of the New Qiongzhou Mansion with a solemn expression.

Inside the yatang. Li Dingguo sat at the top. On the left side of the next head are Zhang Youde, Liu Er, Xu Dachang and other military and local commanders. On the right are the officials of the local three divisions and the thousands of households of the local town of Fusi. No hospitality. Li Dingguo had already opened his mouth: "General Zheng." What is the current situation in Chengdu? ”

The place that stood up was Zheng Nian, the commander of the new Qiongzhou capital. After Xu Dachang went to Nanjing. The highest officer in the entire New Qiongzhou Prefecture is the commander. Therefore, Zheng Nian has been in charge of this rescue operation. Zheng Nian said with a guilty face: "The last general has seen the prince. Rajah. Now the barbarians have raised 250,000 troops. The entire new Chengdu will be surrounded by subway barrels in general. The last general wanted to lead the army to land and rescue several times. Helplessly, the barbarians were huge. In addition, the Indian mercenary corps are mostly recruits. There are also not enough ships on the island. Therefore......"

Li Dingguo nodded: "It's not your fault." You don't have to explain either. Suffice it to say that the situation in the new city is in the new city. ”

Zheng Nian said: "Now there are still 10,000 Indian soldiers in the city. Relying on the height of the city to refuse. The brutes tried to launch an offensive. Then they set up a siege and besieged the city. Fortunately, there is enough food in the storage area of the city. Holding on for a few months is not a problem. ”

This information has already been reported to Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo's question is just a confirmation. Li Dingguo's heart was a little more relaxed, since the new city is not in danger for the time being, then it can be arranged calmly, as for those nearly 300,000 barbarians, Li Dingguo is not afraid, after Yongli entered Burma, the two sides lost contact. Li Dingguo sent envoys into Burma many times to ask for an invitation to the king of Burma to take care of Yongli, the king of Burma reversed his word, not only snubbed Yongli, but also attacked Li Ding's ** team on the border of Myanmar many times, Dingguo could not bear it, clashed with the Burmese army, and broke the 100,000 Burmese 100,000 elephant army with 20,000 people, and the Burmese people were terrified.

For Li Dingguo, the barbarians were not terrible, and the only problem was how to exchange the least sacrifice for the greatest victory.

"Chief of Staff, let's take people to land at the end, the Haidu Legion has not seen a war for three or four years, and if you don't practice again, I'm afraid it will rust." Zhang Youde, who was gearing up, stood up, the Haidu Legion was stationed in Nanyang, and the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage in Haidu, so in addition to training all day, the Haidu Legion had never encountered a war since its formation, and this time Zhang Youde took the initiative to ask for a war, but it was also idle for too long.

Xu Dachang sat on the chair with a depressed face, this time the battle was too embarrassing, the colonial army could not land several times, but let the guest army as the main force, but he had no choice, after all, the inferior strength of the colonial army was there, if he stood up and asked for battle, he was afraid of making people laugh.

Liu Er is half-closed, a complacent look, no matter what, his Nanyang Naval Division is going to participate in the war, there is no need to ask for war at all, as long as the Naval Division reaches the coast, set up artillery to bombard the landing land for a while, it is easy and convenient, as for those manual work is the army's business, and it has nothing to do with him.

Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, he originally wanted to land in a different place and attack the west, and then attack from the belly of the barbarians, but after thinking about it, if he wanted to complete this strategy, he didn't know how much time it would take, how much preparation work to do, it was better to land directly, he weighed for a moment, and then said: "In this case, let's make a tentative and forced landing first, Zhang Youde." ”

Youde's face was overjoyed, his burly body trembled, his arms crossed, and he arched his hand and said, "The end will be." ”

"This time, you will be in charge of leading the landing operation."

"Yes."

"Liu Er."

"The end will be." Liu Er stood up.

"The Nanyang Naval Division is responsible for transporting the soldiers who have landed, and the task of covering it has also been handed over to you."

"The last will obey." Liu Er saluted and stepped back.

Li Dingguo's eyes fell on Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu who was attending the meeting: "Jinyiwei must vigorously collect intelligence, the emperor means to set foot in India, these Indian kings, and what are the Mongol dynasties and combat power must be heard clearly." ”

Nanzhen Fusi Qianhu nodded expressionlessly, he and Li Dingguo did not belong to the same system, so there was no need to be overly enthusiastic.
