Zhu Hongyu got dressed and stood up, and Zhou Yu'er was also awakened by his movements.
Just when she was about to stand up, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"Yu'er, there's no need to get up, just rest!"
"I got up early because I still have things to do, so you can rest more!"
After Zhou Yu'er heard this, she smiled, but her movements did not change. She still put on her clothes and got up, ready to help Zhu Hongyu wash up.
In her opinion, this is what a concubine should do!
It’s my job!
The emperor has already gotten up, how can the concubines stay in bed?
After dressing and washing, Zhu Hongyu went to have a meal. At the dinner table, Xu Bin sent Zhu Hongyu a detailed battle plan for the battle across the river.
Zhu Hongyu flipped through the detailed combat plan with a very calm expression on his face.
Zhou Yu'er on the side was holding a bowl of porridge. The spoon scooped out some, carefully blew it to cool down, and brought it to Zhu Hongyu's lips.
Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth to eat the seafood, and a burst of fresh and sweet taste exploded on the tip of his tongue.
He squinted his eyes with great enjoyment, feeling the graininess of the seafood cooked in the seafood porridge.
The bowl of seafood porridge Zhu Hongyu ate was no ordinary seafood porridge.
The rice used for cooking porridge is carefully selected grain by grain.
The seafood cooked in the porridge is caught from the East China Sea every day.
As soon as they were captured, they were sent to Nanjing via the Yangtze River waterway.
This is to ensure that the seafood is still fresh after arriving in Nanjing.
Although Zhu Hongyu now claims to be frugal and frugal, he will not make things difficult for himself when it comes to food and clothing.
Because as long as no one is inside, food and clothing won't cost much.
For an emperor, the real luxury is to carry out large-scale construction projects to build palaces, such as the Manchu emperor building the Old Summer Palace.
Or like the Manchu emperors, they often ate hundreds of dishes at one meal, which was extremely extravagant and wasteful.
That’s called luxury!
It doesn't cost much to eat and drink regularly.
Anyway, Zhu Hongyu feels that saving money is not saved in this aspect.
Zhou Yu'er put down the porridge bowl, picked up a fried dough stick cut into sections for him with chopsticks, and handed it to Zhu Hongyu's mouth.
Zhu Hongyu continued to read the report, opened his mouth and ate the food brought to his mouth.
Chewed it a few times and swallowed it!
Watching Zhu Hongyu eating, Zhou Yuer's face was full of smiles.
She enjoys the feeling of feeding!
After closing the report, Zhu Hongyu asked Wang Ruxian on the side.
"What's the situation? Has the Battle of Yangzhou started after crossing the river?"
Wang Ruxian bowed slightly and spoke.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, based on the news from the military front line!"
"Our army has begun preparing to land!"
"..."
…
Jiangbei, the beach of the Yangtze River!
The beaches near Yangzhou are full of traces left by heavy artillery shells.
The originally muddy and soft ground became hard!
Those are the traces left by the fire caused by the explosion of the artillery shell.
Boom! Boom!
The roar of heavy artillery continued one after another.
Towards the beach, the Qing army, which wanted to block the Ming army's landing, poured out firepower.
Under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Ming army, it was quite difficult for the Qing army to support them.
The sound of heavy artillery booms!
The Qing troops could not hold on any longer and began to retreat one after another.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
But the heavy artillery of the Ming army continued to roar.
Countless cannonballs flew in the sky, leaving traces behind.
Seeing that the Qing army began to retreat, the Ming army also began to prepare for a beach landing.
Small boats were put on the river one after another, and the soldiers of the Ming army rowed the boats vigorously.
The small boats carrying the Ming army soldiers who were alighting for battle shot towards the beach like arrows off the string.
Under the fire cover of the naval gun group, the Ming army's landing work went very smoothly.
One by one, the small boats finished rushing to the beach and washed up on the beach.
The soldiers of the Ming army jumped from the boats, quickly assembled, formed an offensive array, rushed towards the beach, and began to set up defenses.
More and more Ming troops have landed on the beach, assembled, and are ready to go into battle at any time.
The artillery fire of the Qing army tried to stop the Ming army, but it was impossible.
Because, compared with the range of the Qing army's artillery and the range of the Ming Dynasty's naval gun, the gap is not even a little bit.
As soon as the Qing army's artillery fires and its position is exposed, it will be greeted by overwhelming artillery fire.
And more importantly, there is a huge gap in the power and accuracy of the artillery on both sides!
In this beachhead artillery battle without any surprises, the Qing army's artillery was suppressed almost as soon as it came on stage.
Then, the Ming Dynasty's naval gun group unilaterally ravaged the Qing army's blocking troops!
…
Feiyanggu sat on his horse and looked at the battlefield on the beach with a gloomy expression.
His chest was heaving violently, as if there was a fire that was ready to burst out at any moment.
"Damn it! Who told them to step back!"
"Who told them to step back?!"
"No retreat, no retreat!"
"Come on, support me all!"
"We must not let the Ming army complete the landing and threaten the safety of Yangzhou City!"
"..."
The Qing Dynasty lost the south of the Yangtze River, and Fei Yanggu, the governor of the two rivers, could only place his governor's palace in Yangzhou, north of the Yangtze River.
If Yangzhou is lost again, the Qing Dynasty will really lose its face!
Looking at the Qing soldiers and horses in front of him, who were in a mess and running away under the fire of the Ming thieves, Fei Yanggu couldn't suppress the anger in his chest.
"My Lord Governor, why don't we retreat to Yangzhou and set up defenses!"
"The Ming thief's naval gun bombardment is really too fierce. When fighting on the beach, the Ming thief's troops can get support from the naval gun."
"Our army is really no match for us!"
The commander of Feiyanggu's soldiers spoke.
This feeling of being unilaterally suppressed and beaten is really terrible.
However, it is true that facing the Ming Dynasty's naval gun group, the Qing army had little resistance.
When Fei Yanggu heard this, he fell into deep thought.
He was a little moved by the proposal of his personal military commander.
Retreating to Yangzhou is indeed a better choice!
First, there are fortifications in Yangzhou, which allow the Qing army to defend the city instead of fighting in the field with the Ming army.
The second reason is that after retreating to Yangzhou, you can avoid the attack range of the Ming army's naval guns!
After much deliberation, retreating to Yangzhou was indeed their best choice.
Fei Yanggu took one last hateful look at the battlefield and said.
"Send the order and withdraw the troops!"
"Return to defend Yangzhou!"
"..."
Following Fei Yanggu's order, everyone in the Qing army took action.
Begin to withdraw towards Yangzhou!
Wu Tuo, who had just gotten off the boat, saw Fei Yanggu about to run away, got on his horse, shouted, and led his subordinates out like a bolt of lightning.
The horses galloped, and the knights on horseback bent their bows and arrows, riding around the retreating Qing army formation and shooting.
