Nanming Yiming

Chapter 44 Escape from Ascension
Seeing his father jumping into the river, Qian Mo shouted angrily: "Qian Ning, fire me!"

The gunfire roared instantly, and the forts on the shore and the warships on the water opened fire almost at the same time.

At this time, Yang Wen had transferred a large number of troops from the ship to Chongming Island, so only the three largest No. 3 Fuchuan sailed to the riverside to participate in the attack on the fort.

Under normal circumstances, the fortress of the fortress is equipped with red cannons, which have stronger firepower and range than the "Frangji Cannon" on the No. 1 Fuchuan.

The advantage of warships is that they can attack fixed targets such as forts in a mobile form on the river.

So after a confrontation, the two sides fought half and half.

The fort was shot several times here, and a "Qianjin Fulang Machine" was hit directly by the shells, and the soldiers who fired were also blown away.

There was even a crooked shell that directly hit the nearby soldiers, causing casualties.

And a No. 1 Fuchuan on the river was also hit by two shots, one of which blasted off the mast of the mainsail, causing chaos on board.

In the chaos, Qian An was suddenly pulled away.

A soldier said: "Brother Qian, we were originally under the command of Lu Shan Hai Lu, and now there are more than 50 of us on board, and we just took advantage of the chaos to seize the ship."

At this time, there were 1 people on board the No. 150 blessing ship, but the subordinates loyal to Yang Wenqi basically focused on shooting at the fort, and could not take care of the situation behind them at all, so Qian An and the others easily controlled the ship.

The next thing was much simpler. Since the three No. 1 Fuchuan were not too far apart, their artillery immediately aimed at another Fuchuan not far away.

It is quite difficult to miss at such a short distance.

"Load ammo, ready to fire!"

After only a few cannon shots were heard, the target lucky boat burst into flames in an instant!

After another round of launches, a big hole was punched out of the hull, the river water began to pour into the cabin, and the blessing boat began to sink gradually.

Suddenly, two enemy warships on the river misfired and shot each other. Although Qian Mo didn't know exactly what happened.

His keen intuition told him that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
So he immediately ordered all the artillery to fire at the only remaining Fuchuan.

For a while, several giant cannons on the fort opened fire at the same time, with a huge momentum.

But this hit rate is really a bit touching, and it didn't even hit a single shot.

In this era, there is no rangefinder, and it is dark night, so the hit rate is indeed a bit dependent on the sky.

If the gunner had been using this gun all the time, the hit rate might still be higher. The original Zhou Boda's troops led by Qian Ning were all newbies, and it was not easy to load and launch.

As for Yang Wenqi's last lucky boat, when he saw that all the firepower from the fort had come towards him, he immediately wanted to run away.

When he was in a panic, he actually drove into the hidden reef area near the water village of Chongming Navy.

It hit the rocks directly, but fortunately, the water leakage was not very serious, and the gate of the water barrier was closed in time, so there was no danger of sinking.

It's just that the hull, which has been unable to move, immediately became the object of key care.

The blessing boat also continued to fire at the fort and its surroundings, causing casualties to Qian Mo again.

Here at Qian'an, because the mast of the mainsail has been broken, the maneuverability of the ship is greatly reduced.He was also unable to continue attacking the remaining Fu Chuan, so he could only turn around and sail slowly towards the pier, where there were still several No. 2 Fu Chuan parked.

Outside the fort, although Yang Wenqi's men did not dare to take the initiative to attack, they relied on the terrain and firecrackers to suppress Qian Mo's troops in a narrow area with the fort as the core.

Yang Wenqi's original plan was: if Qian Mo didn't surrender, he would directly bombard them with naval guns.

Although his troops did not dare to attack, they could rely on the ground to defend and prevent Qian Mo and the others from rushing out.

But at this moment, for some reason, his own fleet was almost completely paralyzed, and Yang Wenqi also began to panic.

To be honest, if he had known that he would have to pay such a price, he would never have fought back against Qian Mo.

At this time, the soldiers suddenly came to report.At this time, the National Treasure of Tu Guobao in the Northwest Fortress of Chongming is assembling a team, and may come to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Yang Wenqi thought that there was still 28W taels of silver that he had brought down from the ship in Chongming City, so he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and rushed back to Chongming County.

Seeing that Yang Wenqi had retreated, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Hong Fugui and Qian Ning advocated taking advantage of the situation to pursue and kill them, and they might be able to take down Chongming County in one fell swoop.

Qian Mo shook his head. This time, his troops suffered heavy casualties, were exhausted, and were no longer able to fight anymore.

Moreover, there is still a team of Tu National Treasures on Chongming Island, which belongs to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Even if they manage to win in the end, they are no longer able to defend. It is no longer the situation when they first won Chongming County.

Without Yang Wenqi's betrayal, and then recruiting the Ministry of National Treasures, there will be at least 5000 elites on the island.If we unite with the Zhoushan Ming Army again, there will be a lot to do.

Now that Yang Wenqi has turned his back on the water, both his land and water divisions have suffered heavy losses. It may not be easy for him to suppress the national treasure.

As an important military town, Chongming has always been known as "the gate of the great river, the screen domain of ten counties".

Ma Guozhu will not give up on Chongming.

I can't lose all the little money I have just accumulated here.

Now Chongming Island is like a "chicken rib", which is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away!
Let Yang Wenqi stay here to toss and attract the strength of the Qing army.

So Qian Mo ordered to set fire to burn all the remaining Chongming Navy warships staying in the water fortress.

Then ignite all the remaining artillery shells and gunpowder in the Chongming Fort to blow up the fort, especially the artillery, as much as possible.

After making all these arrangements, Qian Mo brought the rest of the team to the pier.

At this time, Qian An knelt in front of Qian Mo and blamed himself: "Second young master, Qian An deserves death for not protecting the master well."

After saying that, he kept slapping himself on the face.

Qian Mo immediately helped Qian An up, and said, "I was negligent and failed to protect my father. Sooner or later, Yang Wenqi will have to pay back the debt."

Gu Yanwu said: "The No. 1 lucky boat broke its mast, so it must not be able to leave; at this time, there are still four No. 4 lucky boats parked at the dock. How should we deal with it?"

After successive battles, Qian Mo's team also suffered heavy losses.There were 60 people in the Qinbing Battalion before, but now there are only 6 people including Bai Bing (2 died while covering the city), 14 people from the Hongfugui Department, and 7 people from the Lushanhai Department.A total of 27 people were killed, and more than half were killed.

The original Zhou Boda's old army led by Zhou Bao only had 228 people left at this time, plus 40 people from the original Lu Shanhai who had surrendered.There are less than 300 left.

Qian Mo said, "Everyone board the two No. 2 blessing boats separately, and leave the remaining boats to Yang Wenqi."

"A Yang Wenqi who joined the Ming army is more useful than a Yang Wenqi who once again served the Qing Dynasty. Let him save this boat for him to escape to Zhoushan!"

Then a sergeant shouted: "The sails are set sail, the target is Jinshanwei!"

The reason for not going to Wusongkou is because there are still Yang Wenqi's remaining troops there. Yang Wenqi should have sent people back to help, and it is very likely that they will run into each other halfway.

On the vast river, Yang Wenqi's reinforcements are really about to meet his "tired army", and the outcome is really hard to say.

It was already early morning at this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the east was turning white.

Qian Mo, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was filled with emotion!
When I read "Nanming History" before, I always felt that it was a magical history.At every critical moment, Nanming always had a "pig teammate" who sent Man Qing a "divine assist".

"Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs."

If this is an allusion, then it must be from "History of Nanming".

For example, when Duoduo went south, Zuo Liangyu caused internal strife, and hundreds of thousands of troops went down the river, claiming to attack Nanjing "from the side of the Qing emperor".Ma Shiying had to urgently mobilize soldiers and horses from the "Four Towns in Jiangbei" to stop them. As a result, the troops in Jiangbei and Huainan were empty.

In the end, only Liu Zhaoji, the former general of Liaodong, led 2000 people to support Yangzhou. Shi Kefa had no choice but to sing "Empty City Plan" in Yangzhou.

Then they "conquered" Nanjing without bloodshed. If Dorgon hadn't come up with the "hair shaving order" afterwards, Jiangnan might really be "declared" by the Qing Dynasty!

Another example is that the peasant army in Huguang originally joined Daming, and the situation in Huguang is very good.

However, He Tengjiao, governor of Huguang, chose to cooperate with the peasant uprising army only because he was alone and unable to contend with the powerful Qing army alone.

Therefore, in the process of cooperation, he was jealous of the virtuous and capable, excluded the dissidents, and separated from the peasant army.

And Du Yinxi, who focused on the national justice and unswervingly pursued the policy of liaising with the peasant army to jointly resist the Qing Dynasty, was even more excluded by He Tengjiao.

Although He Tengjiao was also a frontier official who wholeheartedly resisted the Qing Dynasty, he finally served the country with his death.But in fact, making Huguang a mess is completely an out-and-out "pig teammate".

There is also Li Dingguo, the future god of war of the Nanming Dynasty.Li Dingguo first forced the big traitor Kong Youde to be defeated and set himself on fire in Guilin, and then beheaded the respectful Prince Nikan of the Qing Dynasty in Hengyang.

"Two famous kings", the world shook!

At this time, the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River had already been killed and was terrified, but it was about to expand the results of the battle.It was also because Sun Kewang was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and caused internal strife behind his back, attacking Li Dingguo sneakily, which led to a sudden turn for the better situation in the Anti-Qing Dynasty.

In the future, Sun Kewang's surrender to the Qing will directly destroy the southwestern defense line that Nanming has painstakingly managed for many years!

There are too many examples like this. As long as Nanming improves a little bit, there will be a "pig teammate" who will give Manqing a "god assist" immediately.

Another example is Yang Wenqi, who engaged in a sneak attack and treason this time, and Qian Mo was still dreaming of "Southeast Dading" in the middle of the night.

At this moment, he had no choice but to lead his subordinates to escape.

Qian Mo really experienced how a "pig teammate" cheated himself.

Behind these seemingly absurd records, all reveal the ugliness of human nature.

Even Qian Mo, who has the "God's perspective" as a person of later generations, has not escaped the "curse" of Nanming.

This is also the reason why Qian Mo did not choose to go to Zhoushan to join the Ming army, because Huang Binqing, the "owner" of Zhoushan at this time, was an out-and-out "pig teammate".

Qian Mo, who is familiar with the direction of history, is naturally unwilling to go into this muddy water.

If you want the revolution to last long, you must stay away from "pig teammates"!
Forging iron still requires hard work, and Qian Mo feels that an independent "base area" must be developed.

At this time, Qian Ning said: "Second Young Master, Jinshanwei is not far away."

Qian Mo said: "Don't get close to Jinshan Acropolis, so as not to be discovered by the Qing army patrol fleet, just land in front, and notify everyone to prepare for landing."

Jinshanwei is located in the south of Jinshan District, Shanghai today, on the verge of the East China Sea.As early as the Five Dynasties of Wu and Yue, there were soldiers guarding the port of Gujinshan.In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jinshanshui Army was stationed here to defend Lin'an, the capital of Kyoto.

During the Chunxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the ancient Jinshan fell to the sea, the big bell mouth of Hangzhou Bay was formed, and the harbor moved to Qinglong Harbor next to Xiaoguan Town (also known as Xiaoguan Town).Jinshan Island, Xiaoguan Town, and Qinglong River became important shipping ports and military hubs in the capital and southeast of Taihu Lake.

The important strategic position of Jinshan along the coast is becoming more and more prominent, coupled with the continuous harassment from Japanese pirates, the imperial court set up a guard city in Xiaoguan Town, a salt industry market town in Huating County. Because it faces Jinshan in the sea, it was named "Jinshanwei", and Xiaoguan Town was also named for this reason. It is called "Jinshan Acropolis".

Jinshanwei, Zhenhaiwei, Weihaiwei, and Tianjinwei were also known as the four famous guards in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Jinshanwei was the first to build the city, with the largest fortification area.Ming Fan Ying wrote Qilu "Climbing the Jinshan Weicheng Tower", which said: "The isolated city is surrounded by the river, and the sea is faint and people can see the wide. With the local people.The Acropolis reaches Zhapu in the west and guards the throat of Hangzhou Bay. It stretches several million meters along the coast, and there are many fortresses.

As an important point to defend Hangzhou Bay and the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Qing army naturally deployed a lot of troops here.

Now that Qian Mo and the others are already exhausted, he doesn't want to alarm the Qing army in Jinshan Weicheng again.

Qian Mo and Gu Yanwu said: "I have to trouble Mr. Gu to go to Zhoushan and tell us about how we planned to rob silver, how to attack Chongming, and how Yang Wenqi turned against us."

"Including the silver taels found in the Tu Guobao Mansion and the treasury of the Chongming County Government, Yang Wenqi now has no less than 35 taels of silver, which is enough for Huang Binqing and Zhang Mingzhen in Zhoushan to make a move."

Gu Yanwu said: "What if Yang Wenqi's people go to Zhoushan first and beat them up?"

Qian Mo said: "Ning people don't worry, when Chongming was captured last night, I suggested that Yang Wenqi send people to Zhoushan to contact reinforcements, but Yang Wenqi shirked it in every possible way."

"He must have wanted to eat the tribes and money of the Tu National Treasure first, separate the regime in Chongming, create an established fact, and then ask for help from the Ming army in Zhoushan!"

"At this moment, Yang Wenqi and Tu Guobao are fighting with snipe and clam. Everyone in Zhoushan will not miss this opportunity for fishermen to benefit. Even if Yang Wenqi loses, I will leave him a boat to run away, and he will not fall again. clear."

Gu Yanwu said: "Okay, then I will go to Zhoushan."

Qian Mo said: "Ning people don't have to go back to Taihu Lake from Zhoushan. The King of Lu is on the coast of Fujian. He is now alone and alone. You can represent my 'Taihu Volunteer Army' and express your willingness to serve. The King of Lu will definitely reward you. There are still many King Lu forces, we can rely on them as foreign aid."

In addition to Bai Bing and other 6 soldiers, Qian Mo ordered Zhou Bao to lead 50 soldiers to accompany him for protection!
It's a pity that the second lucky boat couldn't be taken away, so it sank directly in the offshore.

After arranging everything, Qian Mo and others finally landed on land smoothly!
