On the third day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Zhaowu and on the third day of the fifth year of Jingwu, Emperor Daheng sent Duke Jingguo as the commander, commanding the 300,000 naval and land army, divided into three groups, and land and horses set foot in the south of the Yangtze River!
News of the war came out and the world shook!
This war is no secret to anyone with a discerning eye.
The Daheng army was in full swing and the country's destiny was gradually stabilized. It was obviously another prosperous scene of the founding of a dynasty, and it was inevitable that it would go south to unify.
What's more, there were months of pre-war preparations, but the war came so suddenly that few people could have expected it.
After all, the grassland and Mongolia are ready to move, and the remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty are already plundering. In addition, with many natural disasters, even the most optimistic people predict that this war will not be possible until at least the fifth year of Zhaowu.
But obviously, the facts have exceeded many people's expectations.
Three large armies advanced together, heading straight forward, and they were like a storm, and Zheng Zhilong's anyway...
Everything seems to prove that the demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty has entered the countdown...
...
In the Ganqing Palace in Quanzhou, Wang Chengen followed the little emperor immediately. After reaching the hall, he finally couldn't help but speak:
"Your Majesty, you should withdraw. The importance of Quanzhou lies in the sea border. Now the sea border is unstable, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend!"
"Retreat? Where can I retreat?"
The little emperor stopped, as if he was talking to himself.
"There is Uncle Li who is personally in charge of the capital, and the north cannot be in chaos..."
"Now retreat, escape to Guangdong, escape to Qiongzhou? escape to Yunnan and Guizhou?"
"Like a betrayal dog, they are supported by them and continue to carry the puppet in front of them?"
"Uncle Li called again, and then ran away again?"
"If you can't win, what's the use of escaping..."
"It's better to fight!"
Speaking of this, the little emperor smiled, his smile seemed brilliant, but he was extremely sad.
The little emperor walked outside the hall and looked at the simple palace. His tender face was mature that was not in line with his age.
He looked north and seemed to see the Ganqing Palace with many childhood memories, the towering imperial palace, the officials who worshiped and the sharp soldiers who returned triumphantly, and the long live shouts that did not belong to him seemed to echo in his ears...
"After struggling for so many years, I have to leave some traces and let Uncle Li see that I, the emperor, are qualified..."
Seeing the little emperor's sad appearance, Wang Chengen was silent immediately, and he also held back the words of advice that came to his mouth.
Just fight, anyway, in the end, you can't escape the result of destruction.
Anyway, even if you lose...
His Majesty can still be rich for the rest of his life...
At this moment, the Battle of Penghu was coming to an end. With Zheng Zhilong, the Penghu navy of the Southern Ming Dynasty was almost wiped out. The important places on the Penghu islands had been occupied by Daheng.
The only thing left is the encirclement and suppression of the remaining soldiers.
The Daheng warship filled with weapons and food arrived in Penghu in a mighty manner, transporting supplies to the two navy divisions of Jiangnan and Denglai after the war.
After only three days of rest, the Jiangnan Navy, Zheng Zhilong’s Navy, and two navy troops headed towards Quanzhou in a mighty manner.
In Quanzhou, the war had already begun. As early as the beginning of the naval battle, the Denglai Navy blocked the Fujian Navy of the Nanming as planned, but Nan Juyi directly gave up Penghu and stood firm in Quanzhou.
As a result, the Denglai Navy naturally turned to Quanzhou. Two naval divisions, hundreds of warships of all sizes, also launched a protracted naval battle at Kinmen.
Compared with the Denglai Navy, which is backed by Kinmen Islands, and with the help of port fortresses and supply advantages, the Fujian Navy obviously has a great advantage.
Even if the Jiangnan Navy and Zheng Zhilong's troops entered the field, they fought head-on, and faced the Fujian Navy under the cover of a hedgehog-like fortress, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed!
Above the flagship, Li Dingguo looked at the hedgehog-like Quanzhou Port through the telescope, frowned.
Even if it was him, he had to admit that Nan Juyi was really difficult to deal with.
Just the densely packed turrets on the shore, if you really want to attack, you will probably suffer heavy losses!
Not to mention, there was a navy swaying like a poisonous snake, revealing a flaw, and then pounced on it and took a bite!
"Or what if you want to find another landing place and seduce the Fujian navy out?"
Zheng Zhilong suggested on the side.
Li Dingguo narrowed his eyes and finally shook his head.
Although this strategy is good, it is probably difficult to deceive Nanjuyi. Moreover, Nanjuyi has built many forts in several suitable landing places. If the landing stands, it will inevitably relax the blockade of Quanzhou!
In this battle, the strategic purpose of the navy was to completely wipe out the pseudo-Ming navy. The main purpose was to block the sea border and imitate the pseudo-Ming escape from the sea!
The landing seduction was obviously contrary to the strategic purpose of the navy this time.
At present, according to the strategic process, the navy only needs to block the sea front and prevent the pseudo-Ming navy from escaping. When the land army comes, no matter how many turrets there are, they are just lambs to be slaughtered!
The Fujian Navy will also be a turtle in the jar!
As long as the operation is done properly, the warships such as the Fujian Navy may be spoiled!
"Go and report to the Grand Marshal, just say that the pseudo-Ming Penghu Navy has been annihilated, the Fujian Navy relies on Quanzhou Port to resist stubbornly, and the sea border has been blocked. Please give instructions from the Grand Marshal!"
"Also, let the patrol battalion, Changfeng battalion, and patrol along the coastal borders, and prohibit any ship from going to sea!"
...
"Fuzhou has been seized, and the pseudo-Ming has hoarded heavy troops in Putian, and was commanded by Shi Kefa, the Minister of War of the Pseudo-Ming...."
"Penghu has been captured on the Navy. If nothing unexpected happens, the Fujian Navy should be suppressed on the front line of Quanzhou, and the purpose of maritime blockade has been completed."
In the Fuzhou Prefecture, the staff were busy in and out, summarizing the news of the entire battle situation, and Xu Feng also made the decision in an orderly manner.
"Is there any news from Duke Yue?"
Finally, Xu Feng looked up and asked.
The staff officer on the side immediately replied: "Linjiang has been recovered and it is reported that he is attacking Ji'an now!"
Xu Feng stared at the encirclement trend that was almost formed on the map, and asked again: "What are the abnormal movements in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei and Guang?"
"Huguang is fine, mainly from the Mu Palace, and there is a lot of noise. All the soldiers from Yunnan were raised and people were sent to contact him..."
"Go and order Li Dingguo to do so. If the Fujian Navy retreats and does not fight, then keep the status quo and put stability first."
"Let him keep an eye on Quanzhou. If the pseudo-Ming court in Quanzhou fled, he would immediately turn to Kinmen and land forcibly!"
"Go and tell Duke Yue that he will break through Ji'an as soon as possible, and do not have to occupy all Jiangxi, occupy important places, maintain defense, and directly advance into Fujian!"
"Then Sun Shang, he asked him to lead Changhe Camp, Shuining, left and right guards, to rush to Xianyou and approach the hinterland of Fujian!"
"Also, immediately send a quick horse to the capital and report the war to His Majesty. Please send officials to recover the people in various places..."
Chapter completed!
