Originally, Cheng Shijie's plan was to have the Annan Army first in the south and the store in the back, after all, the environment facing the north was harsh, the land was barren, the logistics supply was difficult, and more importantly, it was really difficult to fight.

But any plan can not catch up with the changes, just when Cheng Shijie took Nanjing, to carry out the reform of the land and return to the stream, the Mo Dynasty, which had been almost destroyed by the Li Dynasty, in the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), Zheng Jie sent Zheng Qiao to lead troops to capture Gaoping, capture and kill the Emperor Mo Jinggong and the crown prince of the Mo Dynasty, etc., and sent them to Qinghua to be beheaded. Mo Guangzu Mo Jingkuan and his second son Mo Jingwan (a Mo Jingyu) fled into the Ming Dynasty.

Under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the Later Li Dynasty made Mo Jingkuan a lieutenant and a prince of Tongguo, and allowed him to return to Gaoping. From then on, the military strength of the Mo Dynasty weakened even more, and it paid tribute to the Later Li Dynasty. Just when Cheng Shijie changed the land and returned to the stream, Mo Jingyu directly proposed to surrender to the land.

The southern part of Annam was quickly captured by the Tusi army, of course, this war was not directly related to the Ming Dynasty, which had always been unruly and often ignored the orders of the imperial court.

But the problem is that Shen Mingyu is not a reckless man, of course, he was very reckless before, but now he has learned to use his brain, no matter how strong the Donghu Dynasty is, there is no way to kill all the three Xuan Liuwei Si and the one hundred and sixty-seven subordinate Tusi Prefectures, even if he kills all the Tusi, it doesn't matter, Shen Mingyu just finds someone and lets him serve as the Tusi of a certain landlord.

Just like Han Gai, the last Xuanwei envoy of Mubang Xuanwei Envoy, was killed as early as 1606, Shen Mingyu found a "Hangai" widow Han Sizhong, who served as the Mubang Xuanwei envoy, and led the Mubang Tusi people as the vanguard to kill the Donghu Dynasty.

You must know that although Mu Bang turned out to be a feud with Donghu, probably like Britain and France, they fought for hundreds of years, but Mu Bang's strength was too weak, Shen Mingyu was like more than 50,000 dwarfs in ten battalions of the Annan Army, and they were directly assigned to Han Sizhong's command, these dwarfs who have been training in Liaodong for nearly five years are very fierce.

Just when Mubang and Donghu were fighting, the Annan Army began to send troops, and the troops were divided into six routes, all the way from Manmo, all the way from Gengma, all the way from Meng Lian, all the way to Mengyang; All the way to Yaoguan, all the way from Meng Linqi.

The Sixth Route Army set off, but Shen Mingyu took the lead in seizing the force, and the passes that he originally encountered were directly bombarded with rocket artillery and artillery, and the scorched earth offensive was taken, and in just ten days, the Sixth Route Army progressed very smoothly.

Due to the existence of the Three Xuan and Six Comfort Divisions, countless Ming people lived in the territory of Donghu, especially during the rebellion of Zixuan, hundreds of people fled south and entered the territory of Donghu, according to the records of Ming history, hundreds of thousands of Ming people lived in the north.

With the departure of the Sixth Route Army, every time he arrived, he was surrounded by the empty alleys of the local Ming people, and Shen Mingyu, the governor of the Annan Army, was also very face-saving, allowing the Ming people to visit the royal army of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not easy for the Ming people to live in Donghu, the Donghu people in this area are lazier than pigs, they are the most diligent and hard-working people, relying on these qualities, they can take root no matter where they are, spread out their branches, and create amazing wealth with their industrious hands, but this ability does not bring them good luck, but brings disaster.

The Toungoo were jealous of them and hated them, the Dutch and Spaniards were jealous of their abilities and coveted their wealth, and the rejection and massacre of the Ming people continued.

In the past, the imperial court was incapable and reacted indifferently, which made the people in Mian Ming very insecure, and no one knew when the Donghu people would rush into their homes with blood-dripping knives, rob them of the wealth they had accumulated in half their lives, and slaughter their wives and children.

Seeing the royal army of the Ming Dynasty coming, they immediately felt that they had something to rely on, and many Ming people pointed to these powerful cannons, and the majestic army proudly said: "The king of the Ming Dynasty is here again!" We're looking forward to this day! ”

Everywhere he went, Shen Mingyu personally went to visit the elders of the local Ming people, talked with them cordially, and told them everything that was happening in the country.

Shen Mingyu invited the local Ming people to speak: "The current Ming Dynasty is no longer the closed Ming Dynasty before, we came here this time, in order to implement the order of the regent of the Ming Dynasty, now the Ming Dynasty has changed the land and returned to the stream, and the Annan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will be set up here, you just have to live here, don't be intimidated when you meet the Donghu people, don't do it, do it with them, the Imperial Royal Army will support you!" ”

Probably felt that just playing lip service was not enough to convince people, Shen Mingyu set up a working committee member (county) and an executive committee member (government) in accordance with the Liaodong model, and encouraged the Ming people to set up a militia organization, and distributed all kinds of seized weapons to the militia, as for the Ming people who want to protect themselves, they can also buy weapons, the price? Almost in vain, Shen Mingyu didn't point to this to make money.

Just when Shen Mingyu led the Annan Army to slaughter in the north, a total of 68 warships of the four strike squadrons of the Luzon Fleet arrived in the waters of Shalian. The port city in southern Myanmar is located on the left bank of the Yangon River, across the river from Yangon.

The Ming Royal Navy arrived in Sareem, where the famous Battle of Salian broke out more than 30 years ago, in which the Portuguese mercenary leader Philip de Brito, who occupied Salen, defeated the Arakanese raiders. In 1613, Anabilon defeated Salen during the Siege of Salen and captured Brito.

However, under the influence of the Portuguese, the Taungoo army here was very advanced, with more than 600 light warships and nearly 70,000 troops stationed here.

Just when the Ming Royal Navy arrived, the Shalian Army fired cannonballs at the Ming Royal Navy, located at the front of the entire fleet, but spent money to buy a scrapped large sailing ship from Xiyi, this sailing ship belongs to the category of armed merchant ships, more than a dozen shells of the Shalian Army were fired, this large merchant ship was torn apart, and the fire erupted from the cracked hull like a volcanic eruption, sweeping the deck, out of control......

Then a large number of warships of the Luzon fleet arrived at Salian, and without saying a word, sixty-eight warships launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the forts, strongholds, and ports where the Salian army was stationed.

Of course, the overseas Chinese here are also dumbfounded, don't blame them, in this era when solid lead balls and chain bombs are commonly used as cannonballs to smash enemy ships alive, and if they can't smash them, they jump to the gang to fight hand-to-hand, and the high-explosive bombs filled with nitrocellulose are simply Zenith technology, and they are all frightened by the terrifying destructive power of this explosion!

The shelling in just half an hour is like a century has passed for the Donghu people, which is too long, of course, the effect of this shelling is still very good, because these cannons generally do not have a reinforced concrete permanent fort, but only directly exposed artillery, and it is also a backward Hongyi cannon.

With the end of the shelling, hundreds of light warships rushed over behind the Ming Royal Fleet, faintly surrounding the Ming Royal Navy's Lu ship fleet.

The striking squadron of the Luzon fleet did not say a word, and then went up, and the three-inch fleet and the four-inch fleet let out a thunderous roar, the rate of fire was amazing, and it was even more frightening, and they picked the big guys to fight, and the battleships of the Donghu Navy that were hit were all without exception, and they broke down in an instant and burst into flames, and I don't know how many people flew flesh and blood on the spot, and those who were lucky enough not to be killed also jumped into the sea with a scream of fire, and this time the sharks and swordfish in the sea could feast on their mouths.

The surviving Donghu Navy was frightened, they didn't expect that after a long time of shelling, the naval guns of the Ming Royal Navy could still fire, they turned the bow of the ship and slipped away, and the battleships of the Ming Royal Navy did not accept it when they saw it, but puffed up their sails to catch up, they wanted to kill them all!

The big ships of the Donghu Navy had been blown up, and the few small boats that were left were not enough to withstand the shells, so the sixty-eight warships went on a rampage, smashing the unlucky little ships in two with ramming angles.

The warships of the Ming Navy were very fast, and the Donghu Navy couldn't outrun them with all their strength, and was finally surrounded by them, that's right, more than 300 light warships were surrounded by sixty-eight warships!

The soldiers of the Ming army smirked and pushed the jet train onto the bow of the ship, and one by one the steel pipes stole a thirty-meter-long fire dragon at these already terrified Donghu Navy, and the screams of the Donghu Navy officers and men resounded in the sky......

In the end, more than 600 warships of the Donghu Navy, full of more than 10,000 naval soldiers, only more than 1,000 people in total were captured by the Ming army, each chopped off the thumb of his right hand and put it back, and the others were either bombarded into slag by the ship's artillery or burned to char.

King Tarong was the seventh ruler of the Taungoo Dynasty, and in order to rule northern Burma, he also moved the capital from Taungoo to Ava in the north.

It's just that he didn't start a war, but found that the Ming and Mu Bang were swept like a flood, in order to deal with the Ming and Mu Bang coalition army, he had to mobilize a large army from the south, this side did not wait for the southern army to come to the north, the previous step just withdrew from Laos, and the latter foot Laos announced its independence from the rule of Donghu and re-declared itself to the Ming Dynasty.

Ta Long knew very well that the influence of the Taungoo Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty, and now that the Ming Dynasty was reinvigorated, he could only maintain the stability of the Taungoo Empire if he defeated the Daming, and for this reason, he had to recall Minyedepa, who was far away in Salian. And Minye Depa was the son of Anabilon, who killed the sixth lord of the kingdom in the first year of Chongzhen, Anabilon, and now Donghu is in a state of division between the north and the south.

Historically, it took four years for Talong to clean up Minyedepa, the murderer of the king, and now he had to compromise with Minyedepa, but the crux of the matter is that Minyedepa had just arrived in Baiwa when he received bad news that Salian had fallen.

The Ming naval fleet because of the Shalian defenders attacked the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty without authorization, resulting in the sinking of the merchant ships loaded with goods, the Ming Royal Navy must use naval guns to safeguard the interests of the Ming Empire, hoping that King Ta Long can give the Ming an explanation.

Confess, confess your grandma's legs.

The Ming army in the north is attacking like a tide, and it is less than two hundred miles away from Baiwa, and the Ming Dynasty and Donghu are already in a state of war.

But the problem is, Minyedepa doesn't think so, Salian is his territory, and it is also the trade window of the Portuguese, Dutch, and Spanish in Donghu, Minyedepa can earn millions of taels of silver every year by using Salian, otherwise how can he feed more than 200,000 troops?

Now that Salian is gone, in Minyedepa's opinion, it is all to blame on Taron,

Minyedepa was also a ruthless man, and he turned around and headed in the direction of Salen, where his father, Anabilon, could recapture Salen from the Portuguese.

However, after Minyedepa led his army away, only Talong was left messy in the wind, and at this time, rumors began to appear, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were attacking in six ways, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.

……

Cheng Shijie's principle is to be a professional person and do professional things, Cheng Shijie did not interfere too much in the war in Donghu, however, his inspection in Annan is coming to an end, but the problem is that at this time, Qin Liangyu held a military meeting of the Lin'an Executive Committee.

This meeting did not let Cheng Shijie participate, unlike the executive committees in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, Lin'an obviously belongs to a super-large executive committee, and all the members are also more than 10,000 troops at the most, and it is an obviously purely military executive committee, which is more appropriate to call the military committee.

Qin Liangyu looked at the crowd: "I would like to inform you of a matter, the king is going to end his inspection of Annan in seven days and prepare to return!" ”

The committee members breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally time to leave!" ”

Cheng Shijie brought them a lot of pressure, during this time, Cheng Shijie took the review team to investigate more than a dozen Tusi who used their power to oppress and brutalize the people, and directly beheaded them.

For the toasts, isn't it a routine operation to bully the people under them, oppress them, and persecute them?

Qin Liangyu continued: "It's time for us to attack the city!" ”

Shi Tianbao asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you would besiege for another two months, and then attack the city when the monkeys in Annan were hungry, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly: "We don't have time!" ”

Shi Tianbao immediately understood, this was the rhythm of taking Shenglong City before Cheng Shijie left!

Qin Liangyu muttered: "Don't cry and mourn, the king came with the Guards Brigade, if he leaves, the Guards Brigade will definitely leave, now it is better to take advantage of the Guards Brigade's presence, those shells are transported from the north, it is very troublesome, how can they be allowed to go back with the shells again?" ”

Of course, Qin Liangyu wanted to attack Shenglong City with the help of the artillery of the Guards Brigade, this was with Cheng Shijie's consent, Cheng Shijie agreed, and all this was easy to do.

In fact, Cheng Shijie also thought about this problem, the artillery regiment of the Guards Brigade brought four base shells, and there were more than 600 vehicles transporting shells alone.

Of course, this is just Cheng Shijie's idea, even if he doesn't bring one over, Cheng Shijie's escort fleet will definitely return with a full load.

In fact, Cheng Shijie's Guards Brigade is like a teaching corps, and many generals of the Ming Royal Army are born in the Guards Brigade, in fact, the highest official position is Wu Sheng. Bringing the Guards Brigade into the war is also an opportunity for the officers of the Guards Brigade to be promoted.

The Guards Brigade Artillery Regiment is not the same as other artillery regiments, this is a only rocket artillery is not equipped with three-inch guns, nor is it equipped with four-inch guns, and it is not equipped with five-inch guns, of course, the rocket artillery they are equipped with belongs to the most advanced rocket artillery in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a heavy rocket artillery, with a caliber of five inches, that is, one hundred and fifty-four .5 millimeters, with an ultimate range of 7,000 steps, except for the lack of accuracy, the power is slightly inferior to the five-inch gun, and everything else is okay.

Because the most important duty of the Guards Brigade is to protect Cheng Shijie's safety.

One hundred and forty-four six-mounted rocket artillery vehicles were divided into four artillery groups, which opened the prelude to the attack on Thang Long City, and the rocket artillery also made a terrible whistling sound, and the rocket artillery shells were fired in a group of thirty-six rounds, wave after wave in the smoke and flame eruption, pulling out a dazzling arc and plunging into Thang Long City, followed by a violent and dense terrifying roar like a thunderstorm, the houses were razed to the ground, and the trees were either uprooted or the canopy was on fire, turning into a large torch.

For the Annan army, these rocket artillery are even more terrifying than the cannons of the Spaniards or the Dutch, no matter how powerful the artillery shells are, they are only a point, but this thing is a large piece, even if it is not killed on the spot, it will be burned to ashes by the fire caused by the explosion!

The bamboo-and-wood houses in Thang Long City were ignited in an instant, and all of them became a sea of fire, and I don't know how many soldiers and civilians in Thang Long City were trapped in the fire, shouting and wailing in despair.

A group of elephants were frightened by the rocket artillery shelling, they scattered and fled, trampling countless soldiers of the Southern Monkey Army screaming again and again, and it was actually lucky to be able to scream, because their injuries were not fatal, and countless unlucky eggs were directly trampled on their heads, and they couldn't even scream.

Of course, the Annam army would not sit idly by, and their artillery was fighting back, and dozens of front-loading smoothbore guns and Francophone guns purchased from the Portuguese at high prices were fired at the same time, and the fire was dense and spectacular.

However, the rate of fire between front-loading smoothbore guns and rocket shells is like a dwarf and a donkey are longer than a dick, the difference is not a little bit and a half, whether it is range, power or accuracy, it is very different, and the fight is earth-shattering, but the vast majority of shells are flying all over the sky, and even the opponent is not hurt by a single hair.

Annan's gunners were so anxious that tears came out, and they desperately increased the charge in order to fight farther, and as a result, frequent explosions occurred, which caused them heavy casualties.

Outside the firing range, the rocket artillery carried out a covering bombardment of the Annam artillery, and a single explosion was a large area, and the accuracy was not really important, for the firing target within a range of three kilometers, the error of the rocket artillery was about 50 meters, which was very poor, but the problem was that the fire area formed by the incendiary bombs at the range could exceed 100 meters in radius.

So, accuracy isn't really that important. (End of chapter)
