The beautiful Lijiang River is clear and bright, the level is as quiet as tranquility, and the sky above and below is a vast expanse of blue.
There are nearly a thousand boats of various sizes on the river.
Leading the way were more than a hundred small and medium-sized warships such as blue boats, red dragon boats, net shuttle boats, eagle boats, and mother-and-child boats. They were followed by yellow boats, fast boats, eight-oared boats, stilt boats, pendulum boats, and salt boats.
Waiting for the transport ship.
Jingfan had a long-term monopoly on the salt road from Wuzhou to Guilin. There was no shortage of transport ships. There were only 300 salt ships. However, there were very few warships. They were mostly small boats and fire ships. There were only a few ships.
Cangchuan, a converted civilian ship, is already the absolute main force.
The Jingfan navy is said to be several thousand, but in fact it only has one battalion and two sentries, with more than 500 soldiers, and the others are all recruited sailors and fishermen. However, it is quite spectacular to have so many boats on the river, and the momentum is
Amazing.
This time King Qin and Zhu Hengjia brought out their old capital. Not only did they mobilize all the new troops, but they also transferred the most combat-effective Chinese military battalion in Yang Guowei's department, and made Yang Fuchen, the son of Guowei, the capital of his army.
.Only Xingye Bo Yang Guowei and two battalions of troops were left behind in Guilin City.
Although there are many ships, most of them are small boats with limited transport capacity. They can only transport ten thousand people at a time.
In order not to give the enemy in Wuzhou time to react, Zhu Hengjia ordered Fan Youxian and Shi Qiwen to lead the army and supplies of food and grass, and march slowly to Wuzhou; he took Yan Tianfeng, Yang Fuchen, Yang Wu, and Sun Gui to lead the most
More than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, carrying only three days of dry food, sailed towards Wuzhou in a light boat.
"Master, the army of Jingfan is coming." Yuan Mingzhang, the prefect of Pingle, hugged his concubine before he got up, and was woken up by the housekeeper.
"Why are you panicking? Didn't I ask you to prepare two kinds of flags? Hurry up and hang the flags to welcome Jingfan on the city."
Pingle Prefecture originally had a garrison of Guilin Right Guards and ten river patrol ships. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Guilin Right Guards system collapsed, and the Guilin Right Guards of 5,600 people now has less than 500 people, and they are scattered in various places; those ten
The sentinel ship was also borrowed by the Jingjiang Palace ten years ago to transport salt, and it will never be returned once borrowed.
The magistrate Yuan, who had no soldiers and was unwilling to die, had no choice but to act as a wallkeeper and had two kinds of flags prepared. When the Jingfan army came, they would fly the Jingfan flag; when the imperial army came,
Just fly the imperial flag.
"It's strange, I've hung the lowering flag on the city, why didn't Jingfan's fleet land and enter the city, but continued down the river?" Mr. Yuan, the prefect, who had just dressed and climbed to the top of Pingle City, was puzzled.<
/p>
"No! Jing Fan is rushing to Wuzhou. Duke Qu is in danger!" Pingle Tongpan next to him suddenly realized.
The monkeys on both sides of the bank couldn't stop crying, and the boat had passed the Wanzhong Mountain. In only two days, Jing's army had arrived at the mouth of Sanjiang River in Wuzhou.
On the largest Cang Ship, two Franco cannons were majestic, and the sun and moon flags and the Jingjian King's flag were hung high on the mast.
In the ship's warehouse, Zhu Hengjia and a group of generals were listening to the intelligence brought by the scouts. The heroic city of Wuzhou was actually defended by only 300 governor's pacesetters, 500 police officers and 1,000 civilians. What's even happier is that he loves his people like his own son.
In order not to affect the livelihood of the people, Governor Qu actually did not order the city gates to be closed. Wuzhou is still a bustling and peaceful scene.
"This is God dedicating Wuzhou to the prison country. Please send an order to land and capture Wuzhou as soon as possible." All the generals asked for battle.
"Hahaha! This Qu Shichun is really a stupid ass. The enemy doesn't even close the city gate at the moment." Yang Wu, a guerrilla from the cavalry camp, laughed.
"Shut up!"
Zhu Hengjia glared at Yang Wu fiercely and said quietly: "The benevolent are invincible!"
Jing's army effortlessly landed from the shelter of Sanjiang Port and formed an array. This waterway was the way for Jing Fan to transport salt, and Jing's army knew the water conditions of the waterway well.
"According to the order of Gu, whoever enters Wuzhou first will be promoted to one rank and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver; anyone who is good at taking advantage of the common people will be beheaded."
At Dayunmen, the north gate of Wuzhou, several veteran soldiers looked feebly at the people coming in and out, not even bothering to question them.
Suddenly, the crowd became commotion, and a black cloud rolled in with lightning speed.
"No, it's Jingni's cavalry. Close the city gate quickly."
Before Lao Jun finished speaking, a sharp sword flashed past, blood splashed three feet, and the big head turned into a meat ball.
Soft bows, long arrows, fast horses, light swords, and Jingjun's cavalry are like the gods of death from hell, harvesting lives one after another.
The infantry of the Jing Army followed closely behind. They scaled the city wall in units of troops and took control of the city gate.
Yangmingmen fell, Xijiangmen fell, Nanxunmen fell, Dezhengmen fell...
On August 17, the 18th year of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the Jing army arrived from Guilin along the Li River and conquered Wuzhou in two days.
