The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Li Guangyuan called Cai Yaozu to stop, then ordered someone to bring a Ming official robe, and put it on Cai Yaozu himself.

Then he spoke.

"His Royal Highness Jian Guo ordered me to bring you an official robe, sir, please put it on."

Li Guangyuan's tone was sincere.

Cai Yaozu felt the official robe wrapped around his body, and suddenly had the urge to burst into tears.

What is he tossing back and forth these days?
To put it bluntly, it was for such an official robe.

And what is represented by the back of the official robe, Daming's acknowledgment of him.

Now that he finally got it, while he was excited and grateful, he also felt a little unreal...

Cai Yaozu's tone was excited, and he spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

"Don't worry, general, the students will definitely live up to expectations!"

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and headed towards the surrounded Jingnan Army.

Not long after, he met the generals of the Jingnan Army in the formation of the Jingnan Army.

Those generals looked at the official robes on Cai Yaozu's body, and asked questions one after another.

"Mr. Cai, what do you mean by the clothes on your body? You are the military advisor of our Jingnan Army, how can you wear the official robes of Ming thieves?"

"Mr. Cai, the lord's bones are still cold, and you put on the official robe of a Ming thief. Do you deserve the esteem the lord has for you?"

"Cai Yaozu, what is the conscience of an ungrateful person like you?"

"..."

Faced with reprimands from all around, Cai Yaozu was not angry.

Because, from the tone of these people, he could feel their envy...

That's right, envy!
The reprimand of these people seems to be anger, but it is actually envy!

I envy him, Cai Yaozu, who is wearing a Ming official robe.

He, Cai Yaozu, has already landed, but they still continue to struggle in the quagmire, not knowing their future.

How can you not be envious?

Cai Yaozu said with a smile.

"The prince was assassinated and died of serious injuries, leaving behind many family members."

"As the prince's confidant, I naturally want to plan for the prince. No matter what, I must protect the prince's family."

"Facts have now proved that the choice I made to surrender to Daming couldn't be more correct and wise."

When speaking, Cai Yaozu gestured around with his eyes, as if sarcastic.

Look, you are already surrounded by Daming, who dares to say that the choice of this official is not wise?
"You generals, you have to make wise choices!"

Cai Yaozu said pointedly.

Li Sheng said with a dark face.

"Did Mr. Cai come to recruit us to show off in front of his new master?"

"I just don't know what will happen if we surrender?"

"Being murdered? Being driven to fill the city? Or being thrown into hard labor?"

Cai Yaozu just said with a smile.

"If you are willing to surrender, it will be a great achievement. His Highness Jian Guo never treats those who have meritorious service badly."

"Furthermore, do you have any other options now?"

"The tens of thousands of troops are surrounded by the Ming army, which is much smaller than yours, and they are almost destroyed."

"The huge gap between the Ming army and our Jingnan army in terms of combat effectiveness must be noticed by everyone."

"Do you think you have any other options besides surrender?"

"Do you really have to wait until the bayonets of the Great Tomorrow Soldiers are on our chests before you know that you have to surrender?"

"At that time, even if the general of the Ming army shows mercy and spares your life, how can you still have glory and wealth?"

Next to Li Sheng, a big black-faced man heard the words and asked back.

"If we surrender, can Daming give us wealth?"

Cai Yaozu said in a positive tone.

"That's natural!"

"His Highness Jian Guo seems to be broad-minded, and he has always treated meritorious ministers generously."

"You generals have come to realize that, anyway, returning to the Ming Dynasty, how can it not be regarded as a great achievement?"

"..."

Under the deterrence of the Ming army under Li Guangyuan, Cai Yaozu successfully persuaded the generals of the Jingnan Army to surrender.

After receiving the order to surrender, a soldier of the Jingnan Army dropped his weapon and took off his armor as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Kneel on the ground and wait for the punishment!
The Ming army also sent troops into Fuzhou City and began to take over the defense of Fuzhou City.

First of all, the first thing is to rectify the soldiers and horses, weed out the old and weak of the Jingnan Army with uneven quality of soldiers, and select soldiers.

On the one hand, the selected soldiers are disrupted and rearranged, and brand new armor and weapons are added.

On the one hand, the selected soldiers of the Jingnan Army were trained and reorganized to instill the concept of discipline, and at the same time, they made up for two years of arrears.

In this way, the Jingnan Army completely surrendered!

Moreover, the Ming army also issued official documents to all the places under the Jingnan Army, asking them to return to Ming Dynasty and raise the Ming flag again.

And dispatched elite soldiers and horses, ready to go to the front line of Zhejiang and accept the defense line run by the Jingnan Army.

……

Zhu Hongyu put down the memorial, the expression on his face looked very happy.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"The Jingnan Army has surrendered, and the situation in Fujian will be settled."

"Old Mount Tai can also return to his hometown to worship his ancestors!"

Zhu Hongyu said this to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong also showed a smile on his face, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"My great Ming revival is hopeful, revival is hopeful!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded heavily, and spoke again.

"It's time for the army to march north!"

The matter of Fujian has been decided, and even the forwards of the Ming army under Li Guangyuan have entered the south of the Yangtze River, so Zhu Hongyu has nothing to wait for.

Leading the army north to the south of the Yangtze River to meet the main force of the Qing court going south is the most important thing in front of him right now.

……

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, the main force of the Ming army gathered in Guangzhou began to prepare for departure.

For the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Hongyu mobilized three reorganized infantry divisions with 3 people, one reorganized cavalry division with 3000 people, one imperial guard division with [-] people, and one reorganized heavy artillery brigade with [-] people!
Add up to 3000 troops!
If we count the 3000 people of the Fifth Infantry Division who are already marching from Fuzhou to the south of the Yangtze River and are in charge of standing in front of the army, that is [-] troops.

Including the scouts responsible for investigation, medical soldiers, cooking soldiers and other logistics personnel, and the gendarmerie responsible for maintaining military law and supervising battles, the number is about 5000.

And these 5000 people are all the troops that Zhu Hongyu can devote to the Jiangnan battlefield.

It is also the entire mobile force of Daming today!
By the way, there is also a part of the Guiyi Army reorganized from the Jingnan Army on the Jiangnan Front, which can probably have tens of thousands of people.

Based on the principle of proximity, they naturally have to join the war!
For the sake of the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Hongyu has almost dispatched all the elite under his command.

Except in Luzon, Qiongzhou, and Guangzhou, where he left a part of the recovery army to garrison, almost all the garrisons in other places are in charge of second-line troops such as the Guiyi Army.

Zhu Hongyu always understood that facing the Qing army that controlled the grassland, there was no shortage of mules, horses and livestock.

If I want to win in terms of marching speed, I can only rely on water transportation.

On the other hand, although Daming has an overall advantage in water surface power, the various ships under its control are also limited.

To transport the 5000 people who participated in this battle and provide logistics for the army, it is almost the maximum transportation capacity of Ming Dynasty.

In order to ensure that the transportation capacity of the fleet is brought into full play.

Zhu Hongyu can only call the recovery army to join the battle!
The combat effectiveness of the Guiyi Army is not bad, especially after being reorganized by Ming Dynasty, weeding out the old and the weak, strengthening training, supplementing some weapons and armor, and supplementing the food and wages.

The combat effectiveness of the Guiyi Army is definitely stronger than that of the Qing Army's Green Battalion.

However, no matter how strong they are, they are no match for the Liberation Army!
