Chapter 347: Conquering Dinghai

After the bombardment of Hangzhou by the warships of the Huang people, Jiangnan, which had been peaceful for a long time, finally felt threatened.

This threat has been heightened by more and more rumours.

The Governor's attack on the army of the Tyrants was almost completely annihilated, and the few men and horses who fled back were also frightened into human form.

In addition, the Qiantang Water Division was also finished, and the whole of Zhejiang opened its door to the military ships of the Huang people.

The bombardment of Hangzhou that day by the Huang people was very obvious, and it also showed the determination of the Huang people to fight a war.

Hangzhou, the government of the political secretary.

Liu Daxia looked at Liu An, who was sent back as a gift, with an ugly face, and the newspaper he brought back.

He suddenly realized that the entire Shuangyu seemed to be a trap set up by the Huang people, waiting for Da Ming to jump in.

Thinking of a small Shuangyu Island, which could fold the people and horses he had been operating for more than half a year, he suddenly felt in a trance, and he staggered and sat down.

"Lord Governor!" Ma Wensheng noticed the gaffe and hurriedly screamed.

Liu Daxia raised his head weakly and said, "Huang Ren, I am really a strong enemy that I have never had since the opening of the Ming Dynasty!"

Lin Fu, the right-hand political envoy on the side, and Li Zan, the envoy of the inspection, did not have a good face at the moment.

Of course, they knew that the Gang was an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, but who provoked this powerful enemy? It's not that Liu Daxia is the main one to suppress the thieves, not to mention the hard work, not to mention disturbing the livelihood of the people in Zhejiang, and also to fold many horses and horses in the imperial court.

Now that the warships have been shelled to Hangzhou, the people in the city are already panicking, and the entire northern part of Zhejiang will capsize if they are not careful.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the people are powerful, and it seems that it is not possible to suppress and appease them, otherwise, it is better to go to the envoy again and agree to the opening of the port and mutual market of the people, otherwise, as soon as the ships arrive, it will only take half an hour for the artillery to fire, and the city of Hangzhou will be in chaos!" Lin Fu arched his hand.

Liu Daxia glanced at him and said a little angrily: "Do you really think that the people just want to open a mutual market?" Now that the Duren have just won for a while, and they have also defeated the Qiantang Water Division, do you think the Duren are in a hurry to respond to the battle? This is obviously what the black people have been planning for a long time, and now even if they go to talk, the black people are bound to open their mouths, and you dare to agree at that time? ”

"But now the people are full of grievances, and the people are panicking, if you don't come up with a charter, how can the three divisions of Zhejiang explain?"

"The old man is here to explain!" Liu Daxia said angrily: "The old man will bear all the blame by himself, and he will never miss the future!" But if you want to talk about it, you can't talk about it now, and you will never give up, only if you resist hard, let you understand that Zhejiang is invulnerable, and you can talk about it again! ”

"However, Zhejiang's garrison has been lax, and the money and food are even worse!" Lin Fu is-for-tat.

Liu Daxia waved his hand: "Before sending troops, the old man has already reorganized the garrison, and the number of troops in the coastal areas is sufficient. As for money and food, go to the court! Urgently transfer the autumn endowment of Jiangxi and South Zhili into Zhejiang, in order to level the people! ”

Lin Fu stopped talking, as long as he didn't use Zhejiang's money and food, he could accompany Liu Daxia to sing another play.

Liu Daxia thought for a while, still a little uneasy.

He ordered, "Again."

Transfer troops from Nanzhili and Jiangxi! Go to the order, quickly transfer 2,000 Nanjiang elite soldiers into Zhejiang, and then transfer 5,000 troops from Nanzhili, if there are really no soldiers, you can bring in a part of the Cao army! ”

"No adults!" Ma Wensheng suddenly spoke.

Liu Daxia was puzzled: "What do you have to say?"

Ma Wensheng arched his hand and said: "The soldiers and ships come and go like the wind, what if they arrive in Nanzhili?" Therefore, the soldiers could not be mobilized from Nanzhili, and they still ordered to summon the villagers from all over the country. To defend Sangzi, how can the gentry stay out of it? ”

"No!" Lin Fu and Li Zan stopped together.

Lin Fu said solemnly: "If you don't see the enemy, you will recruit the villagers, and it will inevitably become a harmful move to the people!" The imperial court will never agree! ”

Liu Daxia was silent, Ma Wensheng's words were not unreasonable, but Lin Fu's words were indeed true, and now was indeed not a good time to let go of Xiang Yong's recruitment.

"Master Ma is too alarmist, how can the people know about the water situation of the Yangtze River? Every section of the river is turbulent, and if you are not careful, the big ship of the people will have to run aground, and then the armies on both sides of the strait, just besieged, can make the people have no way to go to the sky! Li Zan said.

Ma Wensheng thought about it and didn't say more, he was just afraid of this matter, if the black man really went upstream, his black gauze hat would have to be taken off.

After Liu Daxia was a long time, he still sighed and said, "Just transfer the Nanzhili soldiers and Jiangxi soldiers!" The Yangtze River is not as good as the sea, and the soldiers and ships are narrow and restrained in the river, and the prestige is bound to be greatly reduced. The garrison of Nanzhili has also been the best in the southeast, and the transfer of 5,000 troops into Zhejiang will not have much impact, but for Zhejiang, this is an urgent solution! ”

Ma Wensheng nodded, he also felt that it was too dangerous to go up the river and force the Nanzhili area, just the direction of the water and wind could make the tall warships of the Huang people in a dilemma.

…………

Dinghai City, the news of the defeat of the Ming army had already reached here, and the soldiers and ships of the Huang people shelled Dinghai City that day, so the commander of the guard, Ma Jin, and the commander of Zhao Tong, were all worried.

They couldn't have imagined that more than 10,000 people and horses could not hit a small Shuangyu Island with a single blow across the sea.

It wasn't until a few days later, when the soaked corpse floated to the head of Dinghai that they realized in horror that the defeat of the Ming army was already a fact.

While they were panicked, they also had a fluke mentality, and Ma Jin even met with the merchants in Ningbo and asked them to bring a message to Eastern Qin.

It is said that the commander of the guard of the left office in Dinghai promised that as long as the people did not attack Dinghai City, they would give 50,000 taels of silver.

For him, silver is a small matter, and losing land is a big matter, if he loses Dinghai, Liu Daxia can cut off his head.

In the past few days, he has been reluctant to give up, wanting to send his family away first, but he is afraid that he will be coaxed into a copy, but he will miss his life.

But I'm afraid of what's coming, August 5, the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and September 4, the third year of Huaxia.

The Eastern Qin task force arrived outside Dinghai City, and after it was lined up, it was the sail cannon.

Since the Ming Dynasty had no sailors to speak of, the fleet of the Eastern Qin was extremely arrogant, and they drove to a proper position and prepared to go straight

Pick up the bombardment.

Ma Jin and Zhao Tong came to the city, and after looking at it for a while, their hearts were like ashes.

For half an hour, the people in Dinghai City must be in turmoil.

"My lord, ...... Soldiers! ”

Just when the two of them were stunned, a group of people came from the south, they were neatly lined and well-equipped, and they were walking towards Dinghai City unhurriedly.

"Where did these soldiers come from?" Ma Jin was terrified.

Zhao Tong looked at it for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the people are going to the shore at the door of the Shen family!"

Shenjiamen, a bay area in the southern part of Dinghai, can dock large ships, but the coast is blocked by uplifted mountains.

The Ming army lacked a sense of countermeasures against the landing operation, so naturally it would not build any beachhead, so the Huaxia army generously carried out the landing there.

An Shan, who was in charge of this operation, was also extremely surprised, and the Ming Kingdom of Nuoda actually let the suitable landing location go, and only cowered in the city.

With the arrival of the army, artillery began to lay out positions.

"Oh, that'...... What is that? At the head of the city, Ma Jin's jaw almost dropped.

Zhao Tong was also horrified, only to see the soldiers and horses, pulling a door mortar cannon approaching and arranging, these mortar cannons have short barrels but are very thick, and they look extremely shocking.

Ma Jin even forgot the power of the firearms of the black people, and stood at the head of the city a little overwhelmed.

Bang - the people fired a cannon, and a cannonball hit a short distance outside the city, rolled a few times, and then crashed into the city wall and flew up.

The Tyrant paused for a moment, then fired again.

Bell - this cannon smashed into the city wall mountain, smashing a small crater.

Then the ships and the cannons on the road began to roar in unison.

The warships bombarded the west, and the army bombarded the position at the corner of the southwest city wall, cooperating with the warships at sea.

Ma Jin leaned forward, feeling the shaking of the ground brought by the city wall, and he no longer had the heart to fight.

Bang bang bang - the mortar opened fire, and one after another, the shells flew into the city with the line of fire, and some landed on the city wall.

After a bang, there was immediately a ghost crying wolf.

Because the shells of the mortar cannon, less affected by the chamber pressure, so the charge can be increased, in addition to the disadvantage of the firing range is too short, the mortar shell, is the siege weapon of this era, can shoot through the curve, the enemy behind the city wall to kill.

Bang bang bang - the twenty-pound cannon also began to bombard unfatally, and cracks began to appear in Dinghai Jiancheng.

This superficial fortified city has long been eroded by the sea.

After more than an hour of bombardment, the upper part fell in unison, and the entire tall city wall was split in two, and a huge gap appeared.

And all around, there was no Ming army that dared to come over.

Ansan waved the command flag, and the soldiers of the three battalions rushed over with shouts at the sound of the trumpet.

Facing the moat, they rowed directly with the boat.

A quarter of an hour later, a company of soldiers took control of the breach.

The Ming army had already collapsed, and generals such as Ma Jin, Zhao Tong, and Shi Yan also did not know where to go.

Dinghai City broke after holding on for more than two hours.
