Speaking of the Green Camp soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy, they really didn’t even have the courage to surrender.

Surrender will lead to beheading.

If you don't do it well, you will still have to kill the whole family.

But it is impossible to fight. Everyone is just a matter of making a living. The bandit warships are like mountains, and the cannons are almost as thick as their waists. With one shell, they blow their flagships and commanders into pieces. How can they fight like this? If the Ming army goes south to target Dengzhou, they may be able to muster up the courage to fight in order to defend their hometown, but the Ming army is heading west, there is nothing to worry about. As for whether the Ming army invades Dagukou...

It's their business.

At this point, you can swim directly to Beichangshan Island by abandoning the ship, and then contacting the fishermen to return to Dengzhou. When you go back, you will say that you will send the bandit ships to a strong and powerful gun. Everyone fought bloody battles until the ships were destroyed. General Yu died heroically...

This is perfect.

By the way, the minds of our Qing soldiers are actually understandable.

With the lingering eyes of the Qing army floating on the sea, the Ming army warships quickly knocked the nineteen Qing army warships into pieces. Yang Feng was not even interested in capturing these wooden sailboats. His fleet, including transport ships, was all steam-powered machine sailboats. Capturing these Qing army warships would only waste time. After destroying the only real navy of the Qing army in the Bohai Sea, the Northern Expedition Fleet passed through the Changshan River Channel to continue moving forward.

Emperor Yang Shenhuang stood on the deck of the Weiyuan, looking at the vaguely visible coast of Changshan Island.

He is not interested in Shandong for the time being.

If he followed the original plan, he was planning to land in Dengzhou, then establish a base, and expand his power to Shandong, but because the northwest problem must be solved, the original plan has changed.

"God Emperor, General Staff War Report."

A servant said behind him.

"read."

The Emperor of God said.

"The Sixth Army conquered Guangchang, Senggelinqin abandoned Shanguan and Xincheng, and Nanfeng retreated to Jianchang."

The attendant recites the Tao.

"He ran quite fast!"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Senggelinqin can't run. The next stop for the Ming army to conquer Guangchang was Nanfeng, and Nanfeng was his rear. Once Nanfeng was not protected, he would be blocked between Shanguan and Xincheng, that is, Lichuan, and he could only abandon Shanguan and Xincheng. As for Nanfeng, there was no point in defending at this time. What he needed to do was to concentrate troops to protect Jianchang, that is, Nancheng, and block the gate of Fuzhou. Fuzhou was also the gate of Nanchang, and it also turned to the gate of Xinrao two mansions. These two mansions were from the rear to the gate of eastern Zhejiang. This was a point that must be defended. The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not care about throwing away poor counties in southern Gansu, but if the Ming army left Fuzhou, it would really threaten their hearts.

However, this is of no use.

"The Second Army reported to Keji'an and captured the Tartars Jiangxi Governor Chang Dachun, who supervised the war. This man called himself the descendant of King Zhongwu of Kaiping."

The servant then reported.

"I commit suicide and forgive my family!"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, it is the same if it is not pardoned. Chang Yuchun's descendants are from Hengyang, and their hometown is probably already circulated. If they are not circulated, it would be a special treatment for Chang Yuchun's descendants. In fact, during this period, there were descendants of famous officials from the Ming Dynasty, and even several officials who claimed to be royal family, who tried to escape the punishment of the people for these reasons, but they all failed to get what they wanted, and at most they gave their families some more lenient treatment.

Ji'an's conquest allowed the Ming Dynasty to hit Nanchang at the same time.

"The First Army reported that the Tartars drove the people to fight back as vanguards, resulting in the failure of the attack on Xiangtan, and the Third Infantry Brigade suffered 200 casualties."

The attendant then reported a bad news.

In fact, on the battlefield, there were already sporadic situations where the Qing army drove the people to be cannon fodder. After all, they had no other way. The Ming army was in a row, and any attacker committed suicide. Within a radius of one mile, there was no use in the area, both infantry, cavalry and even ancient shield chariots. If the cavalry were braver, there was still hope to rush through, but even the bravest Qing cavalry did not have the will to bear half of the casualties. It would be the best way to drive the people to be cannon fodder in this way and fight back. However, this method has too great side effects. Doing this way is equivalent to tearing off the last fig leaf, so despite doing this, it is not used on a large scale.

However, in the Xiangtan battlefield, facing the vast Ming army, the Qing army finally didn't have such a face. After all, this is Changsha's last line of defense.

More than 5,000 elderly, weak and weak women and children who were in charge of the arrest were driven forward. The Qing army followed behind and rushed to the Third Infantry Brigade, which was the vanguard of the Ming army. Faced with this shameless tactic, the Ming army was also stunned. Although their cannons and bullets could still continue to bombard, the line infantry could not fire at the old, weak and weak women and children who were crying in front. In the end, the Qing army successfully rushed into the distance between cold weapons. Although the Ming army still fought with them with bloody battles, they had to retreat in the end. At present, the Ming army can only temporarily station troops in Zhuzhou to study how to deal with the new tactics of the Qing army. It is not that the Qing army in Xiangtan continued to do this, but that the Qing army in other places would also learn from it. If this unhealthy trend cannot be curbed at once, the battle will not be easy to fight in the future.

"They are really dead!"

Emperor Yang said speechlessly.

If it is not surprising that the Eight Banners Army did this, but those gentry teams also did this, it would be a bit refreshing for him to know it.

"Ask the arsenal, did I have the six-inch mortar cannon I want? If it is built, it will be given priority to the First Army. We cannot fight the people. Then we will use cannons to bomb these dog thieves. In addition, my will is passed on. For those who drive people into cannon fodder on the battlefield, whether they are Tartars, Green Camps or the regiments, they will be executed on the spot if they surrender. Once their hometown is restored, the whole family will be exiled to Nanyang!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

The Qing army could let the people block the front, but they could not stop the shells falling from the parabola, especially the shells of the mortars. Since this is the case, let’s use the mortars to bomb!

Take a 186mm mortar and bomb.

Although this new mortar can be described as scary, because the old ball bullet is used, it is actually equivalent to a 150 mortar. The shell weighs 40 kilograms, which is an upgraded version of a 20 kilogram mortar. Unlike the 20 kilogram mortar that can be lifted by a few people with a wooden base, this uses a steel base and wheels, and is used in a similar way to a car-mounted mortar. However, because it is black gunpowder, the range limit is only three miles.

Of course, this is enough.

He didn't believe that the Qing army could withstand the bombardment of this level of flowering bullets. Later, he put twenty kilograms of mortar cannons into the artillery battalion of the infantry brigade, and then regarded this as the military artillery brigade. The Ming army's combat habits usually were a brigade paired with an artillery brigade mortar cannon battalion. Such a brigade-level combat unit would have a number of artillery guns. In other words, this ratio was terrifying, and all of them could use flowering bullets. This firepower was enough to deal with the Qing army even if it was purely bombarded by cannons. The only trouble was that the logistics pressure was greater, but fortunately, this was still tolerated for the Ming Dynasty. After all, the number of cannons sounded scary, but in fact, because he also used packed ammunition and his opponent was too bad, he could not even shoot a few cannons in a battle.

Even if the battle at Shanguan was consumed, the fifty-two cannons that participated in the war ended up fifty-two cannons. Before learning about scattered formation and trench warfare, the consumption of shells was not that terrifying.

"In addition, the Fourth Army conquered Baoqing, the Seventh Army attacked Baise. Except for a few places in Guangxi, the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi have not been restored, and other places are basically restored. However, Li Tongzhi reported that whether it is going out of Qingyuan to attack Guiyang or Baise to attack Kunming, they have to face the problems of the natives. These natives are still sitting there, but they will definitely not move forward. Although these places have been changed to land, those natives still have civil power, and these natives also control land. These places are all mountains, and almost every acre of land is precious. If they really want to divide, they will definitely resist desperately. The natives listen to these chiefs. It is difficult for them to understand the policy of the Holy Dynasties. Once they fight with these natives, our march will inevitably be delayed."

The servant continued to report.

"Did Li Kaifang forget how I taught him? Did he not understand yet? The contradiction between our poor and landlords is the same as the contradiction between the mountain people and the chiefs. The fields in the mountains are indeed precious, but the more precious the more it means that we must divide the fields. The attack on Yunnan and Guizhou can slow down, but the matter of dividing the fields is urgent."

Yang Feng said dissatisfiedly.

It is obvious that Li Kaifang's political work ability is still a little poor when he is in war.

What is difficult for those natives to deal with?

After the land was changed, the chieftains had become landlords and gentry. The contradictions there were no different from those in other places. At the beginning, the natives would definitely not welcome the arrival of the Ming army because of their language and mutual distrust. But it only took time.

"Let the General Political Department send political teams to choose those who are familiar with the language and customs of the natives. The Seventh Army suspends its march and carries out land reform in the already controlled local settlement areas. Let these political teams do ideological work one village at a time and explain our policies. Don't be ruthless to those who dare to obstruct them. Before completely solving the land reform in these places, you must not continue to attack. If Li Kaifang can't do this well, then wait for me to go back and show him a demonstration."

Then he said again.

In fact, he was not worried about this problem at all.

All he needed was time. As long as he solved the lower class of natives, only the chiefs could not make any waves. Even the Fourth Prince cleaned them up to obey. It can be seen that their combat effectiveness was quite a scumbag. With the strong Ming army suppressed and the political team destroyed their hearts, it was not difficult to deal with the mountain people.

The Ming army war reports on various battlefields were processed at the Divine Emperor, and they were quickly sent back to Guangzhou by telegram, and then sent to the various armies.

And the Emperor's fleet continued to ride the wind and waves.
