Chapter 464: India Raiders
On the day, nearly 10,000 Ming troops quickly boarded the carriage under the leadership of Zhang Youde and moved forward quickly towards Haidu. The prefectures and counties along the road had received the Qing Road Order. During the Ming army's vehicles passing by, all vehicles were docked on the side of the road, allowing military vehicles to pass first. The entire road passing through Haidu was immediately transformed into a highway. A long list of carriages ran day and night. After arriving at Zhoudu, they would immediately change their horses and continue their journey. When they arrived at Haidu, it was four days later.
Li Dingguo, Zhang Youde, and Liu Er were anxiously starting to collect the Haidu Legion in the name of the General Staff and the Governor, and the Nanyang Navy battalions gathered. On the other hand, the three departments of the Nanyang provinces were urged to prepare food and grass. Two days later, five hundred ships of the Nanyang Navy, large and large, were officially launched on the sea.
On the main ship, the ships were shuttled from Xin Qiongzhou Island. The Jinyiwei who reported the news came onto the deck and continuously passed on the news from East India to the temporary command center.
Fortunately, the new Chengdu city is still barely supporting. The native army is growing, but it is simply equipped, and the entire three floors of the inner and outer three floors of the new Chengdu are surrounded by transparent. The colonial corps in New Chengdu only have 10,000 people, relying on firearms and relies on the city wall to resist guarding. The colonial corps on Qiongzhou Island are mostly new recruits, with low combat power and even unable to control muskets. Several times landings with the help of a few warships ended in failure.
According to the Indians recruited by the Jinyiwei, the initiator of this military operation was the Sunk Tu King in southern India. The Sunk Kingdom was one of the independent Marati Tu Kings. There were four Marati Tu Kings who were separated from the rule of the Mughal Dynasty. Among them, the Sunk Tu King was the strongest, with a large area of land in the south and tens of millions of people. The reason why Kings of Sunk dared to start a war with the Ming Dynasty was first because the borders of the Mughal Dynasty were not bordered by his territory. Although Meng
The ancients and the Marathi people fought for the rule of this continent and their religion for years, but King Sunke was different from other Marathi princes. The superior geographical location gave him a good enough environment to develop quietly. The East Indian territory, also located in southern India, was coveted by King Sunke for a long time. In the past, he was afraid of the Dutch and did not dare to act easily. However, the arrogance of the Ming Dynasty occupied East India, King Sunke immediately sent spies to collect intelligence in East India.
When he knew that the Han people who drove away the Dutch did not send troops on this land but trained the natives to carry out rule, his ambitions became increasingly swelling. The Indian natives were the least powerful nation, and a Marati knight was often able to eliminate more than five Indian natives, which made King Xunke despise the combat power of East India a lot. The real trigger point of the war was the Ming Dynasty's religious reform in East India, which gave King Xunke enough excuses for war.
At the beginning, the war was very smooth. King Ke's 50,000 Matila cavalry, plus the temporary recruitment of 200,000 Indian troops quickly broke through the defense line on the border of New Sichuan and began to divide the troops to occupy many large and small towns. He quickly advanced to the capital of Xincheng at a speed of lightning speed. The King Ke originally thought that the city established by the Han people would collapse soon, and the entire southern continent of India would be held in his palm, just as he was confident in attacking Xinchengdu.
Only then did he realize that the war was not so easy to end. Indian soldiers on the city walls used fire bars to shoot in a row of engineering troops like ants under the city. This was not a fatal one. The weapon of King Xunke lost its morale was a row of artillery on the top of the city. With the Han officers on the city commanding hundreds of Indian colonial soldiers to manipulate artillery and bombard the city. Although the accuracy was not good, there were people everywhere in the city, and wherever the iron ball fell, it caused great casualties.
For the first time, King Xunke realized that the Indian local soldiers wearing novel costumes on the top of the city were not as vulnerable as imagined. At least the strange weapons on the city wall were extremely powerful. The next method used by King Xunke was a bit old-fashioned. He besieged the city and did not attack. Aren’t your firearms powerful? Then we launch an attack, but you don’t think about it. See if you have a lot of food in your city or if I have enough patience.
King Xunke could even imagine that when the military and civilians in the city were so hungry that they were out of breath, their army flocked into the city and took all the weapons on the city for themselves. What would that mean?
Next, what King Xunke had to face was the Ming army warships cruising on the coast. Fortunately, there were not many Ming army warships, only twenty large and small. Although they organized several landings, there were too few Indian colonial soldiers landing, with only a few thousand people at most. On the beach, they were killed by the Xunke army who rushed to the sea.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In Xinqiongzhou, the Nanyang Navy, the Haidu Legion, and the parade troops, a total of 100,000 people landed here. Now the entire Xinqiongzhou Port is bustling everywhere.
The soldiers, the governor of Xinqiongzhou, and the commanders of the commanders were happy to see the reinforcements from the court. They hurriedly welcomed them at the harbor. The generals hurriedly arrived ashore under the leadership of Li Dingguo. Then they went straight to the governor of Xinqiongzhou Prefecture with a serious expression.
In the yatang, Li Dingguo sat in the upper head. On the left side of the lower head were Zhang Youde, Liu Er, Xu Dachang and other commanders of the army and local local army. On the right were officials of the local third department and the local Nanfu Qianhu. Without politeness, Li Dingguo had already spoken: "General Zheng. What is the situation in the new Chengdu area now?"
The place where he stood up was Zheng Nian, the commander of the Xinqiongzhou. After Xu Dachang went to Nanjing, the highest officer of the entire Xinqiongzhou was the commander of the entire Xinqiongzhou. Therefore, Zheng Nian was responsible for this rescue operation. Zheng Nian said with a shame: "The last general has seen the prince. The prince. Now the barbarians raised 250,000 troops and surrounded the entire Xin Chengdu as if they were a subway barrel. The last general wanted to lead the army to land in the rescue several times. However, the barbarians were very powerful. In addition, most of the Indian mercenary groups were mainly new recruits. The ships on the island were not enough to support them. Therefore..."
Li Dingguohe nodded: "This is not your fault. You don't have to explain it. Just talk about the situation in Xincheng City."
Zheng Nian said: "Now there are 10,000 Indian soldiers in the city. They relied on the high and vast city to refuse to accept it. The barbarian soldiers tried to launch an offensive and then set up camp to siege the city. Fortunately, the city had enough food to store in the city. It would be no problem to stick to it for a few months."
This information was reported to Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo's question was just a confirmation. Li Dingguo felt a little relieved. Since Xincheng was not in danger for the time being, he could arrange it calmly. As for the barbarians of nearly 300,000, Li Dingguo was not afraid. After Yongli entered Myanmar, the two sides lost contact. Li Dingguo sent envoys to Myanmar many times to ask for the invitation of the Burmese King to take care of Yongli. The Burmese King went back on his word, not only neglected Yongli, but also attacked the Li Dingguo army on the border of Myanmar many times. Dingguo could not bear it anymore and clashed with the Burmese army, breaking 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000 Burmese 100,000. Burmese people were frightened.
For Li Dingguo, barbarian soldiers are not scary. The only problem is how to exchange for the greatest victory with the least sacrifice.
"Sir, Chief of Staff, please bring people to land. The Haidu Legion has not seen war for three or four years. If you don't practice, you will probably rust." Zhang Youde, who was ready to stand up. The Haidu Legion is stationed in Nanyang, and the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage in Haidu. Therefore, except for training all day, the Haidu Legion has never encountered war since its establishment. This time, Zhang Youde took the initiative to ask for battle, which has been idle for too long.
Xu Dachang sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face. This battle was too embarrassing. The colonial army could not land several times, but instead let the guest army be the main force. But he had no choice. After all, the colonial army's poor strength was there. If he stood up and asked for a fight, he would be afraid of making life laugh.
Liu Er closed his eyes half-closed and looked at ease. No matter what, the Nanyang Navy had to participate in the war, and there was no need to ask for battle. As long as the navy arrived at the coast, he set up artillery and blasted the land for a while, it would be easy and convenient. As for those physical work, it was the army's business, it had nothing to do with him.
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment. He originally wanted to land in a different place and attack from the barbarians' abdomen, but then he thought that if he wanted to complete this strategy, he didn't know how long it took to take and how much preparations he had to do. It would be better to log in directly. He weighed for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, let's forcefully log in first, Zhang Youde."
Youde's face was happy, his burly body shook, and his arms crossed, bowed and said, "I will be here."
"You will be the team in this login battle."
"Affect the order."
"Liu Er."
"The last one will be here." Liu Er stood up.
"The Nanyang Navy is responsible for transporting landed soldiers, and the cover task is also handed over to you."
"I will obey the order." Liu Er bowed and left.
Li Dingguo's eyes fell on Qianhu, the Nanzhen Fushi who attended the meeting: "The Jinyiwei must vigorously collect information. The emperor means to flatten India, these Indian kings, and the activities and combat power between the Mongol dynasties must be clearly seen."
Qianhu, Fushi of Nanzhen, nodded expressionlessly. He and Li Dingguo do not belong to the same system, so there is no need to be overly enthusiastic.
