nanming man

Chapter 1067 Uninformed
With the strength of the Nanming army, it is impossible to fight recklessly with the Wei army.

In history, Zheng Chenggong once attacked Nanjing with more than [-] people, but ended in failure.

Now the Zheng army has only [-] people, and the Wei army will be stronger than the Qing army, and the Ming army has no righteousness to call on, so Zheng Sen does not intend to confront the Wei army head-on, but is going to attack the Wei army to defend the empty land first, mobilize Wei Jun fought fires everywhere, and waited until Wei Jun was exhausted, or couldn't help sending out naval forces, and then attacked the final target.

Guangdong Chaozhou Prefecture is located in the east of Guangdong, in the middle and lower reaches of the Hanjiang River, borders Zhangzhou and Tingzhou in Fujian Province to the east, borders Huizhou, Guangdong Province to the west, and is on the border between the two provinces.

The Han River, Lianjiang River, Beixi River, Nanxi River and other water systems in Chaozhou pass through. The entire area is densely populated and rich in tea and rice.

In the past two years, the situation has changed greatly, and the head of the city has changed to the Wang Banner. However, for ordinary people, there is actually not much difference, and life is better.

Previously, the world was divided, Nanming wanted to fight a war, and some taxes had to be levied. Now that the Great Wei has ruled the world, and after the reduction of military expenditures, the Wei court appropriately reduced or exempted taxes, which made the people feel more relaxed.

Therefore, the common people don't feel much about Wei Ming's struggle for power, it's just that Lao Zhu's family has been replaced by Lao Gao's family.

Since the Ming army was defeated and retreated from the sea, the southeast coast has been peaceful for nearly two years, and the people can't feel the atmosphere of war, but the Wei army can't help it.

Although Chaozhou is at the junction of the two provinces, and Guangdong has to guard against the Zhou army in the southwest and the Ming army on Qiongzhou Island, they don't pay much attention to Chaozhou defense, but they still sent a C-type battalion with [-] soldiers to garrison here.

Chenghai County is located in the south of Chaozhou City, at the entrance of the Han River, which strangles the main road from the sea to the city of Chaozhou along the Han River. The geographical location is very important. In addition, the opposite of Chenghai is Nan'ao Island controlled by the Ming Army, so the Wei Army stationed here for three days. The strength of the division and the construction of forts.

At the beginning of November, the sea outside Chenghai County was shimmering, and the waves crashed on the reefs by the sea, making a splashing sound.

On the coast, on the east side of the estuary of the Han River, Wei Jun built a fort with stones. Several soldiers wearing double-breasted cloth armor and disc helmets, with muskets on their backs, stared at the sea.

The sea breeze was whistling and the torch was blowing. A soldier came up from below, carrying a box of pancakes and hard-boiled eggs, and said, "Brothers, it's time to eat!"

In the past few years, the Wei army has recruited some southern soldiers and trained them to deal with Sun Kewang. However, those southern soldiers are mainly stationed in Guangxi and Yunnan, and the northern soldiers are mainly stationed in Guangzhou and Fujian, so they eat big pancakes and rarely eat rice.

The soldiers on duty immediately became happy when they heard the sound. The days on duty were very boring, and the happiest moments of every day were eating, changing guards and sleeping.

Several people gathered around immediately, ate pancakes and hard-boiled eggs, and complained about the lack of garlic while eating.

At this time, several people were eating, but a soldier suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "There is light!"

Everyone was stunned, immediately dropped their things one after another, stood up and looked towards the sea, and sure enough, they saw lights flickering on the sea.

The lights are connected together, and some are stacked in several layers, as if a city appeared out of thin air, like a mirage. The leader Wei Junshao always only glanced at it, and then shouted, "No, it's the fleet! Quickly inform the captain. !"

Before Mr. Whistle could finish his sentence, he saw the side of the ship on the sea, and suddenly the flames flickered, and there was a loud "boom, boom, boom" sound, and shells roared towards the fort one after another.

The shell smashed the masonry, and the gravel was flying fast. Immediately, a soldier was smashed to the ground and fell to the ground wailing.

In an instant, without the soldiers reporting, the alarm bell in the fort rang loudly, and the soldiers of the Wei army rushed out of the barracks under the shelling and hurriedly boarded the fort.

~~~~~~
In the early morning, the city of Chang'an was very lively, and the people and caravans entering and leaving the city gate had long lined up.

At this time, on the official road outside the city, a group of cavalry came galloping, and the people were so shocked that they dodged and talked a lot.

The cavalry with the urgent flag on their backs raised the yellow dust, galloped to the city gate, left the customs clearance documents, and galloped directly into the city. Report: "Eight hundred miles is urgent, Guangdong beats the newspaper."

The Yamen of the Ministry of War is preparing to attack North Korea recently, and the officials in the Yamen seem to be very busy.

At this time, Liu Xiangke, the servant of the Ministry of War, picked up a military newspaper, hurried into a public house, and said to Chen Mingxia, who was immersed in government affairs: "Old Ge, something happened in the southeast!"

Chen Mingxia frowned slightly, put down the brush, "What happened?"

Liu Xiangke said in a deep voice: "The Ming army suddenly attacked the coast, and several counties in Chaozhou, Guangdong fell!"

Chen Mingxia's face became gloomy. The last time he planned to attack North Korea, Tsarist Russia made trouble in the Western Regions, so the plan to attack North Korea was put on hold. This time the emperor announced that he would attack North Korea. Add to the chaos.

Chen Mingxia was very upset, and after a long silence, he nodded, "Put down the military newspaper, this pavilion knows!"

Liu Xiangke was startled, "Master Ge, why don't you tell His Majesty immediately?"

Chen Mingxia said coldly: "Fujian and Guangdong, the imperial court has gathered heavy troops. It is expected that the two governors, Jin Shenghuan and Zhao Daxian, will soon regain Chaozhou. This matter should not be overly alarmed!"

Liu Xiangke said worriedly: "The Ming army in the cabinet suddenly attacked, and the imperial court must respond. Failure to report what is known is a serious crime!"

Chen Mingxia gave him a white look, "When will this pavilion say we won't report it? It's just that there is no need to report it immediately! When the Ming army landed, this pavilion expected that the two governors would be enough to deal with it, and when the Ming army was at sea, even if this pavilion reported to His Majesty, His Majesty would have nothing to do. , on the contrary, it may break the original deployment and be led by the nose by Nanming."

When Liu Xiangke heard the words, he immediately understood what Chen Mingxia meant, and he was troubled, "Ge Lao means to wait until His Majesty orders to go to North Korea before reporting?"

Chen Mingxia nodded slightly, "That's right, it can't affect the expedition to North Korea. The Ming army is at sea, and Hauge is on land. Wei can't annihilate the Ming army now. It's better to destroy North Korea first, and then concentrate on dealing with Nanming."

Liu Xiangke said sadly: "It's just that the military report is sent to the Ministry of War, and there are many people who know about it. If it reaches His Majesty's ears~"

Chen Mingxia pondered for a while, "The attack on North Korea has already been prepared. You ask the people in the Qin Tianjian to write a letter immediately, saying that the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for the expedition, and let His Majesty issue an order for the expedition tomorrow morning. Only in this military newspaper, this cabinet It will be placed under many memorials, and with His Majesty's temperament, you can't read them all in one day. At that time, His Majesty will make an order first, and see the memorials later, so it is difficult to change the imperial edict, so it doesn't matter."
