Chapter 252 Almost made a big mistake
"Report to the general, the traitors and leaders, about 3,000 people, had all escaped through the secret path in the back garden of the city lord's mansion before the city was broken!"
"A brigade of the Marine Corps has detoured from outside the city to block it. I don't know if it can catch up."
As soon as Zhong Chuxiang arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion, a team of scouts came out to report to him.
"I had expected that these guys were from pirates, so how could they not leave a way out for themselves!"
Zhong Chuxiang was a little angry when he heard this and vented, "Don't let me catch them, otherwise, they will feel good.
He then checked the secret passage in the back garden and found that the escape passage was not big. In this short period of time, it was already the ultimate to be able to escape about 3,000 people.
No wonder they would give up the 100,000 soldiers in this city.
If you don't give up, you might not be able to escape.
Therefore, when these thieves escaped, they definitely concealed the ordinary soldiers.
Otherwise, it will cause mutiny or chaos.
These thieves had no choice. Even if they wanted to escape with their soldiers, they would not have time to hide it.
Then, naturally, the defenders in this city found that the officials were gone, so they hurriedly opened the city gate in panic and raised the flag to surrender.
Now, I have to rely on the soldiers of the land brigade who are going to pursue and intercept the enemy. There is no other way.
There are mountains and dense forests everywhere in Fujian. If they escape this time, they will be helpless.
"Hmph!"
Zhong Qiuxiang was full of anger and had no way to vent, so he had to curse inwardly, "Next time, don't let me meet you again, otherwise you will be killed even if you go to heaven and earth!"
However, this was of no use, and he was just venting.
The reason was that I tasted the sweetness in a raid bombardment of a large warship.
He originally thought there would be a more intense siege battle, but who knew that the enemy either ran away or surrendered.
Now I'm so angry.
What we should do has to do, and then Zhong Chuxiang was also working in a hurry.
This strong city fortress, which was just occupied, still has a lot of work to be done to convert it into a qualified naval base city.
Compared to these imminent tasks, the mere three thousand traitors who escaped are not that important.
...
Zhu Youxiao did not enter the city with the navy soldiers. When he saw from a distance that the enemy had surrendered, he left Yuegang in a leopard cruiser.
Without thinking, he also knew that this time, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang would definitely not be able to catch the thief leader.
After all, there was more than an hour of escape before, which was enough for the thief leaders to run away or make plans to get a way out.
If they had no way out, they would have escaped far away long ago.
If there is a way out, there will inevitably be a 100% sure plan to run away successfully.
Therefore, although it is impossible for some people to meet the famous Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang and others.
When both sides meet, it must be the time when the thieves and the thieves such as Zheng Zhilong were killed.
Don’t forget that Zhu Youxiao is a lie.
Once both parties meet, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not let them go as far as they are concerned about the ones they must be killed in this kind of meeting.
For Zhu Youxiao, these traitors are just clowns.
Sooner or later, maybe one day when they discover them next time, it will be the day when these enemies are given their title.
The first step of occupying Yuegang has been basically successfully achieved.
The important thing is to control the area of Kinmen Island and Yuegang within a radius of 100 miles, and to completely block the waters of the Ming Empire while the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty firmly laid a nail.
Only in this way can the other party prevent the initial firearm from being transformed, so as not to cause a large number of unnecessary casualties to the soldiers on their side in the future.
However, after this storm-like blow, I believe that the traitors from the pseudo-dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty should have given up.
If Liu Zeqing from Beizhen launches an invasion of Shandong as scheduled in three days, it would be even better. Xundu.com
Li Dingguo and Hao Yaoqi, who have arrived in Shandong, are probably ready to wait for Liu Zeqing to lead his troops to come to the door.
There were two guard cavalry divisions armed to the teeth, as well as two garrison legions, a total of 240,000 troops. It would be easy to beat Liu Zeqing's 300,000 troops to make him swollen.
I just don’t know if Liu Zeqing’s fate is tough this time, otherwise, Shandong and his team would be this famous traitor in history and their last journey of life.
Zhu Youxiao was 120 people at ease with Li Dingguo's command. As long as Liu Zeqing dared to come, it would definitely be a disastrous defeat.
In nine out of ten, this war will happen as scheduled.
In just three days, with the efficiency of the Southern Ming courts, even if they learned that the Nanzhen army and the two major navy in Fujian had been destroyed by the Royal Navy.
However, they had no time to stop it. Liu Zeqing, who had already set out from Yangzhou, had an army of 300,000.
That's right, at 3 noon today, Zhu Youxiao received a secret report from personnel from the Royal Military Intelligence Bureau.
The secret report found that Liu Zeqing, this morning, had already led a 300,000 army north and rushed towards Shandong.
Zhu Youxiao quickly boarded Kinmen Island and inspected the large island. He found that the situation here had been completely controlled by a Royal Navy brigade, so he put down his last concerns.
"Well, there is still time now. Since the Yuegang area and Kinmen Island have been included in the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Empire, then..."
He suddenly thought of a big thing.
If this major event is not resolved, there is no way to block the pseudo-dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
That is the old nest of Guangdong Navy: the Pearl River Delta region.
At the estuary of the Pearl River Delta are Macau and Hong Kong.
If these two key places are not occupied as soon as possible, Macau will still be occupied by Portugal.
Although Portugal was annexed by Spain more than 40 years ago, it still retains a considerable autonomy and still has control over Macau, that is, the wealthy realm.
Seventy-five years ago, the Portuguese fleet arrived at the Fudi Realm and used the excuse of drying goods wet by the storm to deceive them and rented the entire Fudi Realm area for 20,000 taels of silver.
In the past few decades, the money earned through the only foreign trade port in the Ming Empire was calculated at least tens of millions of taels.
The famous Franc rapid-fire cannon flowed into the Ming Empire from here and was widely copied by the Ming Empire.
At that time, in order to force local officials to rent the trench territory for them, Portugal led a fleet to fire fired around the coast of the Pearl River Estuary, killing and injuring a large number of people from the Ming Empire.
This Portugal successfully obtained the entire treasury by relying on the tricks of half-intimidation and half-coaxing. After signing the contract, it immediately began to build large-scale construction on the treasury and built solid castles, markets, warehouses and other facilities.
Until now, this treasury is still the only trading port for the Ming Empire to openly trade with the outside world.
What's ridiculous is that this only trading port is controlled by Portugal.
If Zhu Youxiao did not immediately take control of the estuary area of the Pearl River Delta, then the bandits such as Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang would definitely escape here.
With the extremely rich resources and convenience here, with the strong support of the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty, they were able to recover their vitality and be reborn from the ashes.
In that case, it would undoubtedly become a joke to block the collusion between the pseudo-DPRK of the Southern Ming Dynasty and cut off their ties.
"We must control all the huge area of the Pearl River Delta estuary as soon as possible."
Zhu Youxiao is a person who does what he thinks about and doesn’t like to be procrastinate in doing things.
He first wrote two secret decrees, called two big golden eagles, and ordered them to send them to Li Dingguo and Sun Chuanting separately.
Then he immediately called a messenger and ordered Zhong Chuxiang to immediately lead fifty leopard cruisers and 30,000 naval soldiers to meet up on Kinmen Island.
The large fleet set out overnight to the Pearl River Delta.
Now is the best opportunity to occupy the Pearl River Delta.
Due to the annihilation of the Guangdong Navy's army, the Pearl River Estuary area where the Guangdong Navy's nest was originally the gate, there are no people defending now. It can be said that it is empty, and there are probably not many small boats.
As soon as the Royal Navy's large fleet arrived, they could easily get it. It is estimated that the soldiers would not even warm up.
The only battle that can be called a war should be to conquer the trench territory and fight the Portuguese.
After receiving the order from His Majesty the Emperor, he was in a state of pain. Seeing Xiao Guizi and Huang Jianjie searching for the spoils around Zhong Chuxiang, he was overjoyed.
He excitedly led fifty leopard cruisers and 30,000 royal navy soldiers to prepare for the war and loading the ships. In less than half an hour, he came out of Yuegang and met with Zhu Youxiao.
