Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 455 Suzhou City

"Let's leave the delivery to General Nelson." Chen Jisheng, Xu Ji, and Changyi said one after another.

Not only the old bosses of the Ministry of War, but also the generals of the Ming Dynasty like Cao Youyi, who also admired Nelson after they came.He also faintly heard some gossip in the Kyushu Army, and knew that although Nelson seldom showed up and acted in a low-key manner, in fact, his actual power might be second only to the military leader Chu Yun. dominate!

"Both fleets from the Ministry of the Navy are here to transport us, so which fleet should the marine brigade launch from? The Nanyang Fleet?" Chang Yi, who was more cautious, asked.

"No, the Nanyang Fleet has their mission. In fact, the marine brigade was sent to Songjiang Mansion when you followed the army leader to attack the capital. They captured Songjiang Mansion, and while attacking Suzhou, they were blocking the Nanming Army from Hangzhou. "Zheng Zhilong said, "If you are later, maybe they will attack Zhenjiang City and Nanjing City."

Chen Jisheng, Cao Youyi and others turned pale with shock.

Cao Youyi is calm because of the strength of the Kyushu Army!The marine brigade has only 5000 people, and it is actually fighting on two fronts in the hinterland of Nanming!At least tens of thousands of Nanming troops can be mobilized in the Jiangnan region, and it is very likely that the Nanming troops in Fujian and Huguang regions will also reinforce Suzhou. The marine brigade may be surrounded by [-] Nanming troops at any time!But according to Zheng Zhilong's tone, the Kyushu Army didn't seem to be worried about the safety of the marine brigade that went deep behind the enemy's rear, but rather worried about whether the Nanming Army in Nanjing could stop the attack of the marine brigade.

The focus of Chen Jisheng and others was different from that of Cao Youyi. What they were thinking about was the possibility that the major military exploits in capturing the former capital of the former dynasty would be made by the Navy Department first, which made them very worried.

"Please send us to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible!" Xu Ji and other army officers are gearing up, looking unable to hold back.

Sending [-] infantry to the Jiangnan area at one time, such a large-scale delivery is something that the Kyushu Army can do with all its strength.

Chu Yun's ambition is to destroy the Dashun regime and the Nanming regime at the same time, and reunify China!

The army officers, stimulated by the Admiralty, began to urge the junior officers and soldiers under their hands to count their supplies more quickly, and then board the warships provided by the Admiralty.

It was the first time for Cao Youyi, the general soldier of Tianjin, to board a warship of the Kyushu Army. He was on Zheng Zhilong's main sailing battleship Daqi.

When he stepped on the broad deck of the Dachu, looking at the icy artillery erected on the deck, he couldn't tell what it was like.The Ming Dynasty he was loyal to was destroyed by these artillery.In the final analysis, Li Zicheng still has the firearms supported by the Kyushu Army to be invincible.

"What are you thinking?" Zheng Zhilong walked over vigorously.

After Zheng Zhilong took refuge in Chu Yun, although he could not do whatever he wanted when he was the ship king, his status was very high, and the combat effectiveness of the fleet he commanded was much stronger than that of the previous pirate army.If he is not a leader, many troubles that need to be considered in the overall situation will be left to Chu Yun. Zheng Zhilong only needs to take care of his family and concentrate on fighting.Chu Yun also delegated power to the Navy Department to fight, and did not interfere much at the tactical level.This kind of life made Zheng Zhilong happy.

"I'm wondering why our Great Ming Dynasty perished." Cao Youyi said in a low voice, looking in the direction of the capital.

"Those officials of the Ming Dynasty have been rotten from the bottom. Even if they perish, what do they have to do with the people of the world? If they change to the top, the world will still rule the world. As long as the new successor can plead for the people and benefit the people of the world more than the predecessor, Then it is still a blessing in the world." Zheng Zhilong said indifferently.

"What you said is true. The capital fell, and the emperor and the officials suffered. A small general like me escaped the disaster." Cao Youyi said.

"Don't think too much, join our Kyushu army, our journey is the stars and the ocean, what a big deal it is to attack Nanjing city thousands of miles away, in the future we will build a big Kyushu, with ten times the land and sea of ​​Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong clapped vigorously. Cao Youyi's shoulder.

Cao Youyi knew about the ambitions of the Kyushu Army, and he was no longer surprised when he learned more.

In the city of Suzhou thousands of miles away, people are in panic.The officials, guards, and common people of this famous city fell into anxiety from top to bottom.Because the sentinels outside the city have discovered the traces of the Kyushu Army.

The Marine Brigade divided [-] troops to attack Suzhou City and put pressure on the Hongguang regime in Nanjing.

This caused the prosperous city of Suzhou to suffer an indiscriminate disaster.The thriving commercial capital must be blocked between Songjiang Mansion and Nanjing City, and it has become the target of the Marine Brigade seeking more military exploits.

Now Liu Wang of the Marine Brigade is divided into two troops, one part is blocking the Nanming reinforcements from Hangzhou and Ningbo in the south of Songjiang River, and the other part is attacking Suzhou City.Liu Wang personally sat in the middle of the two troops and dispatched them calmly.

There are three forces that can reinforce the Nanming regime in Nanjing, one is the Jiangbei soldiers in the four towns of Jiangbei, the other is the Lianghu soldiers in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the other is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers in the areas of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Ningbo!Liu Wang's Marine Brigade made a gesture of attacking Suzhou and Hangzhou, attracting Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldiers to the Suzhou-Hangzhou battlefield!
The four towns in Jiangbei and the Nanming Army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River blocked the lower reaches of the Yangtze River with two fleets, the Beiyang Fleet and the Zhili Fleet. No army could break through the wide Yangtze River under the blockade of these two powerful fleets!

"Master Zhifu, there have been traces of the Kyushu Army outside the city. Our Jiangsu City has always been prosperous and stable, but we must not be destroyed by war."

Soldiers of the Marine Brigade had just appeared outside Suzhou city. The merchants, wealthy families, and noble families in Suzhou city couldn't hold back. They came to the mansion of Suzhou prefect Chen Hongmi early in the morning to bother Chen Hongmi.

"Everyone, don't worry. There is still a difference between the Kyushu Army and the Dashun bandits. I believe they should be able to sit down and discuss with us calmly. They don't have to fight each other." Chen Hongmi reassured everyone.

The merchants, nobles, and gentry present were not something he could provoke, and they were not much more shy than the Kyushu army outside.

"What should we use to negotiate with the Kyushu Army? Originally, most of our businessmen here had trade with the Kyushu Army. This war is good, and we have to suffer losses of tens of thousands of taels of silver every day. The longer the war lasts, the more we The losses will be even greater!" A representative of a large businessman said dissatisfiedly.

As the Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants got closer and closer to the Kyushu Army, they were influenced by the Kyushu Army and began to harden up.And which of these Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen did not have the backing of Ming officials?Even the background of many businessmen is the high-ranking officials in Nanjing!
