The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216 Qiongzhou Gentleman Anyway
The dazzling red armor of the Restoration Army is like a fire that invades like the wind.

Keep going, keep going, keep going!

Ignite all the sundries that dare to block his way forward, unstoppable!

"kill!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"

"..."

The continuous shouting showed the high morale of the Liberation Army.

Yan Zitong led his soldiers to resist desperately, but he couldn't hold on for long, and was completely submerged in the charge of the recovery army with grenades and bayonets.

And he was beheaded mercilessly!
Zhu Hongyu waved an order.

"Order the cavalry to attack and expand the results of the battle!"

As soon as the flag of the Chinese army changed, the cavalry of the Liberation Army came out.

Two or three hundred Liberation Army cavalry rushed to the battlefield, and began to cooperate with the infantry to divide and encircle the fleeing Qing army, and then defeated them one by one.

The Restoration Army has cavalry, but not many!

Add up to 300 people!
The sources of war horses are partly captured Spanish horses and partly from Zheng Jun.

The riding skills of these two 300 people are not very good, and they can't play riding and shooting.

But turning in on a war horse, or using it at the end of a war, chasing and killing the enemy's defeated soldiers, that's still no problem.

The cavalry of the Restoration Army was like a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing into the defeated Qing army.

Slashing with saber, ruthless collision of war horse!

When the cavalry faced the infantry without an army formation, it was a one-sided massacre.

The cavalry galloped like the wind, constantly cutting up the Qing army's rout, and then dividing and encircling them to annihilate them.

Zhu Hongyu was riding on the horseback, his straight back slightly relaxed, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

He knew that he had won this battle!

The fighting on the battlefield continued, and the sound of guns stopped, but the shouts of killing and the neighing of war horses continued to resound.

More and more Qing soldiers found that they could not escape at all. In desperation, they dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The Liberation Army began to gather prisoners of war!
Since the enemy in this battle was only the green battalion soldiers from Qiongzhou, the Guangfu Army fought fairly easily.

It didn't take long for the Qing army to charge from the beginning to the collapse!

The short handover time between the two sides is even shorter!
Basically, as soon as the handover of short soldiers began, the Qing army was stunned by the bayonet charge of the recovery army.

The morale and will of the Qing army are very poor!

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Qing army began to use its generous back to resist the bayonets of the recovery army.

The rest is the unilateral pursuit of the recovery army to expand the results of the battle!
Therefore, don't look at the lively battle of World War I, but if you count the casualties, you will find that the casualties of the Liberation Army were not many.

After the battle, the Liberation Army treated the wounded, cleaned the battlefield, and gathered prisoners of war.

While continuing to log in.

Troops continue to land and add to each combat sequence.

Zhu Hongyu did not rush forward, and immediately launched an attack on Qiongzhou.

Instead, the Liberation Army was ordered to camp in situ at the port and establish a camp.

Qiongzhou City is where it is, and it can't escape. When will it be fought or not?
Why should he underestimate the enemy?
……

In Qiongzhou city!

With the death of the Qing army in the battle of the port, the news that Qiongzhou's general Yan Zitong was trapped in the battle came back, and Qiongzhou fell into panic.

He Wenwei, the prefect of Qiongzhou, was terrified, as if he had seen his end.

However, what is different from He Wenwei's frightened expression is the expression of those big gentry in Qiongzhou.

On the one hand, they summoned their family members to protect the courtyard and kept the door behind closed doors. On the other hand, they rushed to prepare for the "celebration banquet".

He Wenwei really wants to curse people, you bastards really don't hide your desire to surrender!

The army has been defeated, and Yan Zitong and Yan Zongbing are all dead. Who is the "celebration banquet" for these people? Does it need to be said?
"Madam, you and I have known each other for so many years, and we have spent more than ten years in the barren land of Qiongzhou, and now you have to drag Madam to die with me. It is really hard for you!"

He Wenwei was wearing a full Qing official robe and a red official hat, very formally dressed.

Said to his tearful wife.

He had already made plans to die, and ordered someone to prepare poisoned wine, white silk and other things for himself and his wife.

Mrs. He shook her head vigorously.

"Not bitter, not bitter!"

"The concubine has enjoyed the glory and wealth with the master for so many years. Now that a catastrophe is imminent, it is natural for me to go to the underworld with the master."

"It's just a pity that I can't see An'er again before I die!"

What Mrs. He was talking about was her only son, He Jin'an, who is currently studying in his hometown, and is expected to enter the Imperial Academy in the capital after the next year.

Due to the principle of being an official in a different place, when He Wenwei took office, only his wife was with him.

Parents, sons, siblings, etc. all live in their hometown.

"Ma'am, you and I have another drink together!"

He Wenwei raised his glass and said, the glass contained poisoned wine.

Although the Ming army had not launched an attack on Qiongzhou at this time, the result was already doomed.

The two looked at each other, then raised their glasses and drank the poisoned wine.

Before the pain in his abdomen came, He Wenwei ordered someone to hang a white silk on the beam of the house.

Then, disregarding the crying and begging for mercy of those concubines who were usually very doting, he asked his own soldiers to hang them one by one on the beams of the house.

Since these concubines have enjoyed the glory and wealth by his side, they now have to follow him on the road, no one can escape!
On that day, a raging fire broke out in the government office of the prefect of Qiongzhou.

The flames soaring into the sky symbolized the collapse of the Qing government's ruling order in Qiongzhou.

The Qiongzhou gentry in the city were quite calm when they received the news that the government office was on fire.

Keep doing what you have to do!
It's as if it never happened!

……

A day later, the Liberation Army completely completed the landing.

The [-] Restoration Army, carrying muskets on their backs, pulled cannons one by one, and moved towards Qiongzhou.

Zheng Chenggong also landed, took the generals of Zheng Jun, and Zhu Hongyu to the direction of Qiongzhou Fucheng.

"Report to His Highness Jian Guo, the gate of Qiongzhou City has been opened!"

A messenger came to report to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu asked.

"What the hell is going on?"

The orderly replied.

"The magistrate of Qiongzhou in the Qing court committed suicide, and the big gentry in Qiongzhou collectively did whatever they wanted!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"The order is passed on, Li Guangyuan will lead the First Infantry Regiment of the Restoration Army into the city first, clear up the law and order in Qiongzhou City, and take over the city defense!"

Li Guangyuan on the side embraced his orders.

"No, I will understand in the end!"

Zhu Hongyu asked again.

"Pay attention to strict military discipline. Our recovery army is the master of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone dares to loot property after entering the city, harm the people, or lose control of his lower body, he will do something that violates military discipline."

"All are dealt with seriously, and no mercy will be given!"

This battle was the first battle of the Northern Expedition launched by the Guangfu Army, and it was also the first time that the Guangfu Army regained lost ground from the Qing army.

Significance!

If anyone dares to provoke him at this time, don't blame Zhu Hongyu for turning his face and denying him.

Li Guangyuan clasped his fists again and said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Jian Guo, the general will personally supervise the military discipline, and I guarantee that no one will discredit me, Daming!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Go!"

The large troops of the Restoration Army still marched at the original speed, and Li Guangyuan took the lead with more than a thousand people towards Qiongzhou City.
