Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei - Chapter 571

After more than two months of fierce fighting, the battle at the Datong border finally ended.

The Jingguan, which was specially cast by the Duke of Liao, still stands tall on this desert Gobi. After months of fierce battles, the blood is still there, but the war has subsided.

The gates of the Datong frontier were still closed, and soldiers from all over the country who came to aid were also withdrawn one after another under the dispatch of the Duke of Liao.

The military report of the end of the Datong war was also rushed from Datong to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

The war in the northern border has come to an end, and the war in the southern border seems to have come to an end.

According to the strategy formulated by the General Staff at the beginning, it was a plan to advance by water and land, take Quanzhou as the strategic goal, encircle it on all sides, and succeed in the first battle.

Later, with the progress of the war, as well as the unpredictable strategy of puppets to stick to Quanzhou, Daheng’s strategy of pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, naturally changed accordingly. Duke Jingguo commanded the army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Li Dingguo commanded the three departments of Jiangnan, Denglai, and Zheng Zhilong. The navy, blocked the sea and territory, and completed the siege of Quanzhou.

The other way is to take Yue Guogong as the commander. After recovering Guangdong and Guangxi, he marched into Yungui and attacked the two lakes.

Such a change is equivalent to changing the original plan to pacify Quanzhou first, eliminate the pseudo-intellectual center, and then pacify Yunnan, Guizhou, Lake, Guangxi and Guangxi, and change it to a simultaneous, complete victory in the battle!

In this case, the course of the war is naturally divided into two.

One is in Quanzhou and the other is in Yungui.

Just as the emperor has repeatedly instructed, to pacify the battle of Jiangnan, the key is to maintain stability. For this battle of Quanzhou, from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to conquer Fuzhou, Putian, and then to Quanzhou, it is no more than the land of the two prefectures, and there is still water. With the help of a teacher in the sea and borders, it is naturally much simpler to maintain stability.

For the army of Yue Guogong, maintaining stability is obviously much more difficult!

Coming out of Nanchang, it leveled Guangxi and Guangdong, and then blocked Yunnan and Guizhou, and attacked the two lakes.

Involving several provinces, every place was plundered by defeated soldiers, and there were countless gentry and landlords who were hostile to Daheng to help and fuel the flames, and the course of the war naturally became extremely difficult.

For this reason, although Quanzhou has not yet been captured, the focus of this battle to pacify Jiangnan has almost shifted to Yungui.

Grain, grass and weapons, soldiers and generals, almost all the support is under the command of the Duke of Zhiyue.

However, with the large-scale southward movement of northern Xinjiang and Mongolia, coupled with the unsettled situation in Shaanxi, support is undoubtedly extremely limited.

With extremely limited support, coupled with the battle lines that stretched across several provinces, and the onslaught of the Yungui army commanded by the puppet Mingmu Palace, this war, which was originally intended to attack Yungui, slowly turned into a defensive war.

Compared with the difficulty of the battle between Yungui and Guizhou, the battle of Quanzhou, which only crossed the two prefectures on land, was undoubtedly much smoother.

Of course, it was much more tragic.

Since the Yasukuni Public Ministry captured Fuzhou, under the threat of life and death, the noisy pseudo-Ming Dynasty hall has also been operating smoothly.

In just over half a month, nearly 200,000 troops were mobilized to gather in Quanzhou. Even if the quality of the soldiers was uneven, the actual strength of the troops gave the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty great confidence.

Especially after a series of news such as Mongolia’s southward movement from the north, the unrest in Shaanxi, and the blocking of Yungui by the Ministry of Public Affairs of the State of Yue, it deepened the confidence of the officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Under this rare united will, this Quanzhou city was blocked by land and water, and it forcibly withstood the onslaught of hundreds of thousands of troops.

After dozens of days of fierce battle, under this tragic offensive and defensive battle, the entire Quanzhou city seems to have become a **** on earth!

The residual value was broken all over the place, the whole land was dyed scarlet, the thick bloodstain covered the criss-crossing ditches, and even the moat was dyed red.

The city wall is even more dilapidated. Under the bombardment of shells almost day and night, potholes can be seen everywhere, as well as big pits blown out by gunpowder packs!

There were even some sections of the city wall, which seemed to have collapsed, and the thick blood covered almost every part of the broken city wall in Quanzhou.

In the evening, the fighting was still fierce.

The process of the war also changed from a pure siege battle to a fight for several collapsed city walls.

The soldiers on both sides were constantly flocking to the several gaps in the city wall that had been trampled on in Quanzhou City. Artillery roared, muskets were fired, and thunders in the shape of grenades exploded indiscriminately throughout the battlefield.

In the midst of this broken blood, human life seems to have become the least worth mentioning thing.

On the south side of Quanzhou City, the war against Quanzhou Port seems to have completely heated up.

The Fujian navy in Nanming was originally the Fujian navy under the jurisdiction of the former governor of Fujian Nan Juyi, but after the establishment of Nanming, it expanded several times and finally formed the current Nanming Fujian navy.

The Quanzhou Port, as the site of the Fujian Navy, has naturally been operated by the Fujian Navy for a long time.

Normally, attacking a port from land is naturally extremely easy.

However, because Quanzhou City is close to Quanzhou Port, the artillery and guns on the city wall south of Quanzhou City can easily cover the port land.

This naturally greatly increases the difficulty of land attack on the port.

Not only have to face the stubborn resistance of the port navy, but also the firepower of the Quanzhou city wall. Under such a belly and back attack, the attack on the port is not difficult!

Of course, for the Fujian navy, it was the same attack from the back and stomach, and it was also hard to support.

The war continued for dozens of times. The once noisy Quanzhou Port has now become a land of ruins. The broken warships are burning wantonly on the sea, and the sunken warships and merchant ships have already formed a wrecked city wall under the sea in the port. , blocking the direct attack of the Daheng Navy on the sea.

But no matter how you stop it, the artillery fire on the warship is impossible to stop it!

The battleships of the Great Heng Navy were lined up unscrupulously, and the rows of artillery in the cabins poured firepower into Quanzhou Port day and night.

The heavily guarded Fujian Naval Water Village in the past is already in ruins!

The Fujian navy warship, which Nan Juyi regarded as his last hope, was sunk one by one under the attack of water and land. Even most of the navy and soldiers had to go to the port and land to resist. Attacked by the surging Daheng soldiers.

But no matter how much you resist, in the face of the continuous attack, this port, which used to be the most prosperous in the world, seems to be on the verge of collapse!

“Kill the thief!”

The newly appointed Minister of the Army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Nan Juyi, the commander of the Nanming Naval Division, even though he is very old, he is still on the front line and fights for his life even though he is on the verge of collapse.

But… after all… manpower… can’t go back to heaven!

The port fort, and even the navy water village, after all, only rely on the land to resist the existence of the sea.

In the face of land attack and defense, it is extremely powerless!

“kill!”

“Catch the Nanjuyi dog thief alive!”

Countless Daheng officers and soldiers charged away with high drinks. They resisted for dozens of days with difficulty. Quanzhou Port, which had countless casualties and no reinforcements, was finally broken.

That big bright sun and moon flag collapsed suddenly!

Nan Juyi, the minister of military affairs of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who was on the front line, also collapsed in a pool of blood under the roar of rows of fire guns.

“It’s Nanjuyi dog thief!”

Excited, some soldiers raised their swords and dropped them without hesitation.

The commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy, who once recreated the Ming Dynasty almost single-handedly, has two points for such a funny corpse!

A dead head hangs from the waist of the soldiers, shaking as the soldiers charge, those unwilling eyes seem to be staring at the nearly fallen capital of Nanming…
