Chapter 370: The Wind and Clouds Are Turbulent, and the Mountains Are Shaken III

"Is there a good way to write a long letter?"

Zhu Yujian's tone was a little anxious.

Li Yan looked at the map without saying a word, and only after a long time did he suddenly realize that he was shocked: "It's not good, Chen Cao is trying to force us to enter the Yangtze River." ”

What?

Everyone in the hall cast strange glances.

Li Yan continued: "Shizi, let... There is no way out...

As far as I know, there are many warships under the command of the Liang Domain, but after the battle of Nanjing for so long, they have not seen a single warship, which is completely inexplicable, and the besieging troops outside suddenly attacked from three sides, in order to force us into the Yangtze River waterway. ”

Zhu Yujian also reacted, and immediately shouted: "Quick, generals, quickly gather your subordinates, withdraw immediately, don't fall into Chen Cao's trap." ”

This time, Li Yan rarely did not refute Zhu Yujian's decision, that is, he himself thought so, 100,000 people trapped in Dangtu City was an astronomical amount for logistics, and it was the best policy to slip away quickly.

It is an iron law for the leader to withdraw first, but the army is particularly chaotic because of the retreat, Li Yan had to let Zhu Yujian go first and collect the remaining troops by himself, after all, the three city gate defense lines are still fighting fiercely.

Pang Zhifan, commander-in-chief of the Navy's coastal defense fleet, commanded from the flagship in high spirits, and there were 50 new-style two-masted flat-bottomed warships covering the surface of the river, with a displacement of 500 tons, and 30 new-style building ships of 800 tons.

Starting from the Pudong Military Port in Shanghai, he fought a battle with the naval division of the Northern Army in Yangzhong Shazhou, and rushed to Nanjing without stopping after completely destroying the opponent, and then went up the river again after receiving the order, facing the strong wind on the river and approaching Dangtu.

Along the way, there were several rounds of artillery at the mouth of the Xijiang River, which frightened Yang Qi into thinking that the Liang army was about to cross the river, and the whole army was terrified.

"Commander, the sentinel ship came to report that more than a dozen building ships had run away outside the Tu River, but there were still more than 100 ships docked outside the Dangtu River."

Pang Zhifan immediately ordered: "Pass on our military order, divide ten warships to pursue the fleeing enemy, do not pursue the enemy lightly, and the rest of the ships will surround Dangtu Port." ”

Each warship was equipped with 30 improved Shenwu cannons, 10 mortars, and the officers and men of the navy had grenades, shells, and muskets, which the gods could not bear.

A fierce man plunged into the Tang Domain's naval army on the Bund of Dangtu, and the sound of cannons, gunfires, grenades and bullet explosions came and went, and countless people drowned in the river.

Pang Zhifan did not pay attention to Dang Tu's battle, judging from his years of experience, there must be big people on the dozen or so building ships that ran away, so he arranged for his deputy to supervise Dang Tu's battle, and he took the remaining five warships to catch up.

When the fleet reached a position less than 50 miles off the Anqing River, Pang Zhifan met the commander who had previously pursued with ten boats, and on the river, there were seven or eight warships on fire, and the officers and men of the naval division were rescuing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had fallen into the river.

At the turn of autumn and winter, there is a sun in the south, but the water in the river is still cold and biting, and there are not a few people who drown.

There was no suspense in the battle of Jiangshan, and to this day, no one in the Ming Dynasty has the strength to restrain the water troops of the Liang Domain.

There were more than a dozen building ships, without any artillery support, and they were shot down by the warships of the coastal defense fleet, all of which were beaten into rotten wood, I don't know if Zhu Yujian was lucky, and actually fled all the way into Anqing by clipper.

Of course, Pang Zhifan will not pick up a small bargain, leaving three warships to clean up the battlefield, and he will take people to chase it directly.

...

"Li Yan is being a tu?"

Chen Cao couldn't help but stand up, for Li Yan, his good impression is very good, at least this guy is a real talent in the original history.

"Long Wujun came to report, Li Yan was trapped and guarded, Zhu Yujian escaped, and every day there are escaped Tang clan soldiers who surrender to us."

Zhao Xin saw Chen Cao's intentions, after all, he had been with him for so long, so he said: "Lord Wang, why don't you surrender, there are still so many laborers and reserve soldiers to use." ”

When the steps came, Chen Cao naturally wanted to go down, so he said: "What you said makes sense, but this king is going to personally recruit Li Yan." ”

The fastest way to get to Dangtu in Nanjing is by boat, which takes half a day by boat.

By the time Chen Cao arrived in Dangtu, the camp of the Longwu army was already connected inside and out, and only the official road from Beicheng to Nanjing was a gap.

The purpose of the siege is to recruit the defenders of Dangtu.

Li Yan is controlling the deserters, and up to now, there are still 60,000 defenders in Dangtu, which is not a small number, although there are many people, there is a big problem, food.

"Look, Strategist..."

A regimental commander of the Longwu Army rode a horse to the front of the northern city, stopped outside the safe range of bows and arrows, and then took out a trumpet: "I am the commander of the Longwu Army, on the order of King Liang, I came to see Li Yan, and asked the defenders of the city tower to report." ”

Can't see it?

Li Yan didn't want to see it, but he looked around, and the eyes of many of his subordinates were a little eager, this battle was like this, they were trapped in Dangtu Lonely City, and they were already lifeless.

"Hey..."

Li Yan sighed, it's not that he doesn't have the ability, but the general trend is here, he can choose to escape, he believes that with his ability and the thousands of henchmen of Nanyang when he raised the army, he has the ability to escape, but as he said, as long as he runs, if they want to turn over in the future, it will be as difficult as the sky.

"In Xialongwu, the commander of the Martial Army, Li Yi, is still the same surname as General Li..."

Li Luo came up and set a close set first, and then hugged his fists: "His Royal Highness King Liang is outside Dangtu City, my prince let him tell General Li that the prince deeply feels General Li's talent, and can't bear to be annihilated in Dangtu City, there are still many places in the Ming Dynasty where General Li can be used, and the prince is waiting for General Li outside Dangtu City to talk with him and talk about the heroes of the world." ”

Chen Cao is here...

gave dates, of course, to beat a stick, this is Chen Cao's usual method.

Li Yi said again: "My prince also said, please General Li look at the face of tens of thousands of innocent soldiers in Dangtu City, give up resistance, the prince is absolutely not to blame in the past, now Dangtu is a dead city, General Li also knows that Yang Qi in Jiangbei has no ability to save you anymore, and it can only be you who can save your own, I hope General Li cherishes it..."

.

Chen Cao came to be Tu Na in person, and he came to Li Yan, for other people, he didn't have this idle time, besides, Chen Cao was not Li Zicheng, he was a cultured and ambitious person, how could he be compared to Li Zicheng's mud legs.

When Li Yan entered the camp, Chen Cao personally went out of the camp to meet him, and the white-clothed Xiushi really had a good temperament.

Li Yan was flattered when Chen Cao came out of the camp to greet him, and even said 'don't dare'... was also welcomed into the camp by Chen Cao.

Subsequently, the nearly 60,000 troops trapped in Dangtu all surrendered to the Longwu Army, and these tens of thousands of troops would be sent to Suzhou and Songjiang base camps one after another, and after screening the good family and the soldiers, they were assigned to the new army training camp and laborers respectively.

Chen Cao took Li Yan to rush back to Nanjing first, and then ordered Tang Kainian to leave part of the army to be stationed along the coast of Dangtu, and then drive back to Dasheng Pass to guard against Yang Qi in Jiangbei.

"With the 23rd, 24th, and 25th divisions of the Longwu Army occupying Chizhou, Ningguo, and Huizhou respectively, in addition to preventing Yang Qihui from sneaking up from Chizhou, the focus is to prevent the northern army of Jiangxi, Huguang and Guangxi provinces from moving south,"

Chen Cao looked at the brand-new map of Nanzhili made by the training staff officer in front of him, and couldn't help but nodded: "Most of the state capitals of Nanzhili in Jiangnan are now in our hands, and Guangde Mansion is too small. ”

After speaking, Chen Cao looked at Li Yan who was standing aside, and asked with a smile: "I know the identity of Changxin, you have your own ambitions, but your choice is not right, after following this king, let you see what is the business of the king." ”

Li Yan bowed: "Students are willing to learn from scratch." ”

.........

Liaodong, Guangning Central, Zuotunwei, Jinzhou City

"Back then, this was the place where Yuan Chonghuan's house was governed, but now..."

After he became emperor, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and Gu Linsheng of Toucheng actively suggested to Huang Taiji to implement the Chinese language, and the reason was very simple.

'If Your Majesty wants to rule China, it is the great plan to practice the Manchu and Han Tongwen...'

Huang Taiji was a king who was good at learning, so he agreed to their request, except for the daily people who spoke Manchu, everyone must speak Chinese on official occasions, and military affairs and holy decrees were written in the same Manchu and Chinese script.

Gu Linsheng is a talented man, in order to earn eyeballs in front of Huang Taiji, he followed the expedition in the fourth year of Chongzhen's Manggultai expedition to Southern Mongolia, returned with a great victory, and was awarded the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

Just this year, Gu Lin said that 'the Ming Dynasty is the virtue of fire, my Dajin country is pressed by the fire, and the country name should be changed to show the will of heaven to conquer the Ming people', as soon as this statement came out, the emperor Taiji of Shaowen immediately said great goodness, and then followed Gu Linsheng's advice again, and pressed the fire with water, and changed the name of Dajin country to 'Qing', which was for the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed, and immediately said that he wanted to 'conform to the mandate of heaven' to change the yuan, and changed the country name Dajin to 'Daqing', and to change the yuan Chongde to death, if Huang Taiji knew that Zhu Yousong had used this era name, he would definitely abandon it immediately.

Gu Linsheng felt that it was not enough, so he once again suggested that the Jurchen tribe be changed to the Manchurian tribe, and suppress the Ming kingdom that belonged to Huode from the 'water virtue' on the ethnic group.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed and thought that he had gained a high talent, so he was directly promoted to the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which also made Gu Linsheng prosperous in today's Qing Dynasty, and he was on an equal footing with Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others.

"Now that the whole of Mongolia is attached to me, all Aiqing, the Qi of the Ming Kingdom should be exhausted..."

Huang Taiji gently turned his head to look at Dai Shan not far away: "King Li, when will the Mongols arrive?" ”

Dai Shan bowed: "Your Majesty, according to the schedule, it should be in the next few days." ”

Huang Taiji exhaled, and then entered Jinzhou City with everyone: "Send someone to urge, once the Mongolian 100,000 people arrive, immediately launch the battle to destroy the Ming." ”
