The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

"Our army will assemble the main forces of the First Army and the Second Army, together with Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo's troops for the Northern Expedition!" Gan Hui said loudly.

In the lobby of the Ministry of War near the imperial city of Nanjing, the stars gathered together.

They were holding a meeting before the Northern Expedition. There were long tables in the meeting room. Young Master Yan must be sitting on the back of the wall. The rest of the officers were sitting on the left and right.

Gan Hui made the deployment and said: "This time the expedition is led by the leader himself, and he will complete his work in one battle. You must not neglect!"

The officers hurriedly said yes, joking, this kind of opportunity, if they could reach Beijing, wouldn't the leader become Zhu Chongba? Everyone would be Xu Da's Northern Expedition Army, which captured most of the capital (Beijing), thus leaving a name in history.

"The First Army was led by me, and Zhang Junchang was changed to the commander of the Nanjing Garrison District. He was responsible for defending the Nanjing area. This is our base area and there is no room for loss!" Gan Hui deprived Zhang Shouyun of his command. Everyone looked at him secretly. Seeing that there was not the slightest annoyance with a smile on his face, I couldn't help but admire.

"Zhou Quanbin will continue to be in charge of his Second Army, as well as Gao Jie's and Liu Liangzuo's assists!"

"The First Army and the Second Army each have 80,000 people (both have undergone expansion), the Gao Jie Department and Liu Liangzuo's Department each have 30,000, and the total strength is 220,000. In addition, united soldiers (township soldiers) from various regions will be recruited. Eighty to one hundred thousand are the second-line troops!"

"We set off to Jinan along the east of Weishan Lake and sent 150,000 people to build roads and cities along the way, and repaired the fortress all the way to Jinan." Gan Hui introduced.

Everyone nodded their heads. This is a prudent strategy. After all, the Qing army has many cavalry and strong mobility. If there are no cities and fortresses to defend the personnel and supplies, everyone can't even sleep, so there is no need to fight such a battle.

"Next, please give instructions from the leaders!" After Gan Hui made detailed arrangements, he asked Yan Changwu.

Yan Changwu stood up and said, "The significance of the Northern Expedition, I don't need to talk more about it. Everyone does things according to the command line. As long as they are brave enough to take the lead, I believe that success is in sight!"

He looked around at the officers and said: "No one is allowed to be a scumbag, fight with all your strength, kill one is enough, kill two to make a profit!"

The officers stood up together and swore: "Wish to fight for the leader!"

...

With the approach of the Northern Expedition, the atmosphere in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Nanming and the Huaihe River area gradually became tense. Various places have stepped up investigations of people and imposed curfews. Eventually, the north-south traffic was cut off, and people south of the Huaihe River could no longer cross the north bank unless it was The army and support former migrant workers.

On July 8th of the year (lunar calendar), Yan Changwu vowed to take the northern expedition by the Yangtze River in Nanjing. Emperor Yongming personally saw him off.

The brigade crossed the river, and the troops north of the Huai River had already been deployed!

Together with the civil servants, the Northern Expedition has reached 450,000 people, known as one million, and they are surging away!

In the vast area east of Weishan Lake, towards the Yi and Shuhe rivers, they were mixed with various military uniforms, marching northward like a muddy and ferocious flood, carrying as many spears as cow hair, and numerous cavalry guards, and smoke and dust billowed along the way. , Courageous, able to step down the north, swallow the posture of the Qing army, and confidently said that he would expel the Qing army to "jump the Yellow River!"

Duduo, the Great Chief of the Qing Army stationed in Jinan, felt heavy pressure. He kept sending out visiting horses to understand the situation, and the situation became more and more clear.

The Ming army approached Jinan by adopting a tactic of deepening, intensively approaching, steadily fighting, and gradually advancing!

What annoyed him was that along the way, the Han Chinese descended from the cities under their control, and with the arrival of the Ming army, they surrendered one after another!

In this way, the city fell into the hands of the Ming army, allowing them to obtain a crucial point of support.

"Sure enough, Han people are unreliable!" Duoduo said bitterly.

Dorobele Lekdehun and Gushan Ezhen Yechen led 10,000 cavalrymen and first fought a battle with the former Gaojiebu.

The first division that played the forward for the Northern Expedition was the Southeast Army. Luck Dehun didn't want to provoke them, so he let go of the division, played the second team and flanked Gao Jie!

The so-called Jurchen is invincible, tens of thousands of cavalry, except for the three thousand Mongolian Eight Banners, the rest are true Tartars, their charge is really terrible!

The visual impact was so great that some soldiers could not even move. ‘

The emergency assembly is always trained,

"Ending! Ending!" Ming army officers shouted wildly, knowing that under the impact of the cavalry, only the formation could fight.

Fortunately, the Ming army changed the new regulations, that is, pay attention to dispatching scouts, front and rear wings, left and right wings, and timely alarms.

Otherwise, Tanzi will be caught up close, and many Ming troops will collapse like this.

When the Qing army rushed to the Ming army's formation, the Ming army finally ended up with an unsatisfactory battle formation, but Leke Dehun laughed and shot the arrows in the hands of the Qing army close to the enemy formation. , For a time, the arrows were like locusts, and the Ming army was overwhelmed!

Gao Jiejun is a mixed unit, with cold weapons, swords, guns, bows and muskets. They use shields to resist bows and arrows, and they use bows and muskets to fight back.

The Qing army has strong crossbows and hard bows with great lethality. Among them are some archer, whose arrows are as big as children's fists. Just imagine how powerful they are!

With one arrow shot, even the shield can be shot through, hurting the person behind the shield.

But Gao Jiejun’s bows and arrows and muskets are not vegetarian, and Gao Jie teaches that sergeants should not hit people, but shoot horses!

It has to be said that the goal of the horse was big, and the horses that were hit fell to the ground. With so many dead, the Qing army had to fly by and scatter the Ming army, so that both sides were both accurate. Poor, no one can please.

It was just that the Qing army galloped like the wind, wandering around the Ming army like an annoying fly, and they used a hundred-man squad to attack them with scattered arrows, trying to stop the Ming army from advancing.

The Ming army also divided a team of hundreds of people, equipped with shields, bows and arrows, and muskets, and moved a little away from the group to drive out the Qing army.

Suddenly, the Golden Drum was shocked. It turned out that a Qing army's thousand-man team discovered a Ming army's one-hundred-man squad far away from the main force. The Qing army led the team decisively and assembled the team to assault and try to eat the Ming army Squad.

The horses galloped, and the dust they brought up was like a group of demons with teeth and claws. They seemed to swallow up the weak Ming army team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Facing a heavy assault by the Qing army, the Ming army team used shields to protect its body and waited until the Qing army. When the cavalry rushed in, they shot and archery calmly, specializing in horse riding!

The Qing army kept dropping the horses, and when they got close again, there was a loud noise, and the Ming army threw a big bomb!

The horses in the killing range jumped together, and the knights couldn't control it, and the scene was chaotic.

The resistance of the Ming army was beyond the expectation of the Qing army. It was rare for the Ming army to collapse. In the past, collapse was commonplace.

Yan Changwu entered Nanjing and reorganized the Ming army. He brought the military soul to the Ming army!

The education of the army is very homely: let the soldiers know that if they don't fight the terrible nature, it is the destruction of their homes, their own slaves, their wives are other people's playthings, and our children and grandchildren will become their slaves! To defend our home and our country, take up a gun, we Han are able to fight, daring to fight, and we must fight when we encounter the enemy!

Training is in place: During military exercises, the cavalry rushes in front of the officers and soldiers, constantly learning to use their own weapons, until they are familiar with them.

Good treatment! Reward for killers.

Once you become a deserter, you will not be pardoned, and your immediate family members will be exiled to Southeast Asia!

This military discipline was issued by Yan Changwu. He coldly demanded that his army either win or die in battle. If surrendered, it would be better to live than to die!

He did what he said, so even if he was facing the danger of killing himself and becoming a benevolent, the Ming army team had to fight to the end.

Then, they found that the pressure had stopped abruptly, and the Qing army fleeed far away. It turned out that reinforcements had arrived!

The fighting in the Qing army was not going well. Until the evening, Dorobele Lekdehun returned to the camp and found that Gushan Ezhen Yechen was very annoyed. When I asked, it turned out that Ye Chen's younger brother Geda died in the fight.

The death of a Manchurian warrior is common, but Ge Dahun died disgracefully. He died in the hands of ordinary people!
