"There is a ship! Report it to Vice Admiral Dai quickly." On the lookout on Hengsha Island in Chongming, Suzhou, the sentry commander spotted the ship. There were so many ships and he hurriedly reported it to Vice Admiral Dai Jie.
Dai Jie is a veteran of the Navy and has rich combat experience. At a glance, the opponent has at least 30,000 people and more than 400 ships. He only has 5,000 people and 70 ships. How can he fight this battle? But he is not afraid.
How can you, the majestic deputy general of the Ming Dynasty Navy, be afraid of war? At worst, these more than 100 kilograms will die for the country!
"Light the beacon!"
"Come aboard!"
"Array!"
Military orders were issued one after another.
The Ming army lit the beacon fire on the beacon tower of Hengsha Island, Nansha Island, Sansha Island, and Changsha Island. Seeing this, they also lit the beacon fire, which spread all the way to Chongming Island.
Sun Gui, Marquis of Dinghai, heard the report and ordered Wang Sheng to stay in Chongming. He led Huang Ying and Yang Zheng, 16,000 men and more than 200 ships to rescue Hengsha Island.
"Get ready to fight," Dai Jie ordered calmly, looking at the neat and orderly military formation of the opponent, feeling bitter in his heart. When did the Tatar Zhejiang Navy have so many ships? Commander, Commander, why don't you come quickly?
I am really going to die for my country!
"General, look, it seems to be our ship!"
Dai Jie took a look and saw that the opponent was actually flying the sun and moon flag. There were many large plywood ships among them, which looked like the ships of his own Fujian Navy. However, the main force of the Fujian Navy was already in Chongming, leaving only Zheng Bin's 10,000 men.
One hundred and fifty ships, how could such a huge formation come about?
He hurriedly waved the flag: "Please stop the boat."
The other party was very cooperative, stopped moving forward obediently, and even waved a flag: "Friends, not enemies."
Dai Jie sent a clipper to check and returned in a moment.
"Vice Admiral Dai, this is the ship of General Zheng and Vice Admiral Yang, as well as 20,000 army brothers."
It turned out that those who came were Fujian Navy Zheng Bin, Yang Chaodong's 10,000 naval division, and Pucheng Bo Ma Bao's 20,000 land division. Among the more than 400 ships, there were only 150 warships, and the others were requisitioned to transport troops.
Sand ships and the like. Because Zheng Bin placed the warships on the outside and the troop transport ships inside, it looked like there were more than 400 warships, which shocked Dai Jie.
Sun Gui also came and was very happy to see his allies.
He was originally the admiral of the Fujian Navy, in charge of Zheng Bin and Yang Chaodong, and was named General Fubo by Zhu Hengjia, with the power to control all armies. Generals Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Zheng Bin, and Yang Chaodong did not dare to neglect and came to pay their respects. "The general will finally meet the commander-in-chief!"
"Oh, Uncle Pucheng, General Zheng, thank you for your hard work, generals! Follow me to Chongming quickly. I will treat you well. These days, I am looking forward to the stars, the moon, and your coming! Don't say goodbye.
I don’t need to say much more. I will cleanse the dust of all the generals tonight and I won’t come back until I’m drunk! Hahaha!”
Sun Gui's hearty laughter dispelled the fatigue of Ma Bao and others. Soldiers are the most straightforward men. When you are tired from the journey, a glass of wine is the best way to relieve your fatigue. Sun Shuai is an honest man!
Come to Chongming and have a banquet.
Ma Bao originally thought that the island was very difficult, but only had some salted fish, sweet potatoes, and the like. Unexpectedly, chicken, duck, fish, and seasonal fruits and vegetables were everywhere. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Marquis Dinghai, how come you are stationed on a deserted island?"
Sri Lankan food?"
"Desolate island?"
Sun Gui laughed loudly: "Although Chongming is a desert island, I control the sacred land of Jiading County and Songjiang Prefecture. I have all the food, grass and luggage. What does it mean to have a banquet?"
Ma Bao admired him very much, "When I came, the Duke of Fujian said that you were facing an attack by Tatars from South Zhili and Zhejiang, and the situation was urgent. I thought that Suzhou and Songjiang must have been lost. Unexpectedly, Jiading and Songjiang are still with us.
In the hands of the army, Dinghaihou is really a handsome man! With a single army, he tried his best to protect Chongming, Jiading and Songjiang. I will admire him!"
Sun Gui's face turned red, "This is not my fault. My main force is facing the threat of the Tatar Wu Song Navy. They dare not leave Chongming lightly, so they have to rely on the rebels to guard Su Song's second mansion. The captive general Guan Zhongzhong, Wang Fuchen will
Our rebel troops Liu Kongzhao and Yao Zhizhuo surrounded Jiading County; Zhu Mala and Zhang Guoxun surrounded our army Cai Lu, Bai Shoufu, and Wu Zongqian's troops in Shanghai County. Seeing that the Susong and Song Dynasties were in danger, Chen Jian, the Huating martyr, launched the Songjiang textile industry
During the Great Uprising, Zhu Mala and Zhang Guoxun had to lift the siege of Shanghai. Now, as soon as you come, the siege of Jiading will be lifted soon!"
Ma Bao sighed: "There are so many righteous people in our Ming Dynasty! The last general proposed that the first glass of wine be given to the heroes who died for the country!"
All the generals agreed in unison and sprinkled wine on the ground to sacrifice the heroic spirits.
"Commander", Ma Bao asked for battle, "The general is willing to lead the army to relieve the siege of Jiading."
"Oh, I have long heard that Uncle Pucheng is a tiger general. When I see him today, he is well-deserved!"
Sun Guizan said, changing his tone, "But now there is a new situation, the Tatars have arrived with reinforcements. They captured Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Jiangnan, and transferred 5,000 people from Yangzhou Green Camp Lin Sichen to Suzhou; Yangzhou General Li Feng also stationed troops in Haimen County; ours
The old rival captured the Fujian navy Gai Yipeng, and Huang Wu's troops were sent to Jinshan Guard by Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. What I meant was to advance both by land and water. He would first drive the Tatars out of Songjiang Prefecture, and then follow the Yangtze River waterway to capture Suzhou, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang.
, Go straight to Nanjing.
Zheng Bin smiled disdainfully, "Commander, Gai Yipeng and Huang Wu are our defeated generals. They were beaten by our army to only a few thousand remnants. Why do you need to take action? The last general can defeat him."<
/p>
Sun Gui's face condensed, "General Zheng must not underestimate the enemy. After Gai Yipeng and Huang Wu fled to Zhejiang, Chen Jin added a lot of men and ships to him. The current strength is more than 12,000 men and two ships of various types."
There are more than a hundred ships. They must be defeated as soon as possible, otherwise they will slip into the Yangtze River and join up with Wu Song's navy stationed at Sanzhangpu, which will be extremely detrimental to our army's entry into the Yangtze River battle."
??
While Sun Gui invited Ma Bao and others to dinner, Lang Tingzuo, governor of Jiangnan in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Guozuo, governor of Jiangning, were also entertaining guests, and they also came with reinforcements.
Emperor Shunzhi knew that Doni and Luotuo were recruiting the Eight Banners outside the Pass. The coalition of Mongolian ministries needed time, and he was afraid that they would not be able to make it in time. Therefore, the two Mele Zhangjings, Gachuha and Marsai who were stationed in Henan and Shandong, each with three thousand troops and horses, rushed ahead.
Go to Yingtianfu for rescue.
Although these six thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners were not many in number, they were close at least and arrived at Jiangning City in time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Lang Tingzuo and Zhou Guozuo suddenly had a backbone. This was a six thousand true Manchu army. Together with the five thousand Manchu Eight Banners of Gushan Ezhen Zhao Butai stationed in Jiangning Mancheng, Jiangning City had eleven thousand true Manchus.
Army!
With the continuous military defeats, fewer and fewer people believe in the myth that "Manchuria is invincible if there are not even ten thousand people in Manchuria." But Lang Tingzuo firmly believed it. Without him, he was a banner man, and the Han army was decorated with yellow flags.
Of course, the bannermen must believe in human myths.
"Come, come, come, Ga Chu Ha Zhang Jing and Marse Zhang Jing, you two arrived in Jiangning in time, Jiangning City will have peace of mind. I would like to toast you two Zhang Jing." Lang Tingzuo picked up the wine glass with a smile. "Thank you very much, Lang Duxian." The two generals are worthy of being true Manchu generals. Just drink it all in one gulp.
"Come, come, come, I would like to toast you two Zhang Jing with a glass of wine." Zhao Butai, the principal of Gushan Mountain in Manchuria with a yellow flag, also smiled and raised his glass.
Guarjia Zhao Butai was a Manchu veteran who had followed Taizu and Emperor Taizong in his northern and southern campaigns. Not only did he have great military exploits, but he also had a profound background. His elder brother was one of the most famous people before Emperor Shunzhi: Guarjia Obai. Because
Sitting in the right position, Emperor Shunzhi had great trust in the Guarjia family. The three brothers, Aobai, Zhao Butai and Mulima, all held important positions.
Zhao Butai was stationed at Mancheng in Jiangning as Gushan Ezhen. What kind of trust is this! You must know that there are only five Mancheng in total in the Qing Dynasty. In the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649), Mancheng in Beijing and Mancheng in Taiyuan were built.
Jiangning Mancheng, Xi'an Mancheng, and Hangzhou Mancheng were built in the seventh year of Shunzhi (1650). Jiangning Mancheng's status is second only to Beijing Mancheng. Zhao Butai is the highest military official in Southern Zhili, especially the governor of Jiangnan.
Above Lang Tingzuo.
When they saw Zhao Butai toasting them, Ga Chuha and Marsai did not dare to breathe. They bowed their waists, stuck out their buttocks, and drank it all respectfully. After drinking, they thanked Zhao Butai continuously: "Thank you so much, Zhao Butai."
"True".
The atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its climax. Zhou Guozuo, the governor of Jiangning, suddenly said: "I wonder how the battle in Jing County is going? General Dingyuan and Hong Jinglue haven't sent military reports for a while!"
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
"Report! Urgent military information! Jingxian city has been destroyed, and the lives of General Dingyuan and Hong Jinglue are unknown!"
"Bang", someone's wine glass shattered on the floor, and the whole place was filled with the smell of wine.
