Speaking of the green battalion soldiers of the Dengzhou Water Division, they really don't even have the courage to surrender.

Surrender is beheaded.

If you don't get it right, you still have to cut it all over the house.

But it is impossible to meet the battle, everyone is nothing more than a mess of food, the bandit battleship is like a mountain, the artillery is about to catch up with the waist, and a single shell will blow their flagship and commander to pieces, how can they fight? If the Ming army went south to Dengzhou, they might be able to muster up the courage to fight in order to defend their hometown, but the Ming army was going west, so there was nothing to worry about......

It's their business.

At this point, you can swim directly to Beichangshan Island if you abandon the ship, and then find the fishermen to contact the boat to return to Dengzhou, and when you go back, you will say that the bandit boat is strong, and everyone will fight until the ship is destroyed, and the general soldier of Yu will be martyred......

It's perfect.

In other words, the minds of our Qing soldiers can actually be understood by Yingyi.

In the eyes of the Qing army floating on the sea, the Ming warships soon bombed the nineteen Qing warships into pieces, for these wooden sailing ships, Yang Feng was not even interested in capturing them, his fleet, including transport ships, were all steam-powered sailing ships, capturing these Qing warships would only delay time, after destroying the only real navy of the Qing army in the Bohai Sea, the Northern Expeditionary Fleet continued to move forward through the Changshan Water Channel.

Divine Emperor Yang stood on the deck of the Weiyuan and looked out at the looming coast of Changshan Island.

He has no interest in Shandong for the time being.

According to the original plan, he was going to land in Dengzhou, then establish a base area, and expand his influence to Shandong, but because the northwest problem had to be solved, this original plan has been changed.

"God Emperor, General Staff Battle Report."

An attendant said from behind him.

"Read."

The God Emperor said.

"The Sixth Army Ke Guangchang, Seng Greenqin abandoned Shanguan and Xincheng, and Nanfeng retired Jianchang."

The squire said.

"He's pretty fast!"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Monk Greenqin can't run away, the next stop of the Ming army to conquer Guangchang is Nanfeng, and Nanfeng is his rear, once Nanfeng does not protect him, he will be blocked between Shanguan and Xincheng, that is, Lichuan, he can only abandon Shanguan and Xincheng, as for Nanfeng at this time, there is no point in guarding, what he needs to do is to concentrate troops to protect Jianchang, that is, Nancheng, and block the gate of Fuzhou. And Fuzhou is the gate of Nanchang, and it is also the gate to the second mansion of Xinrao, and these two mansions are the gate to the east of Zhejiang from the rear, this is a point that must be defended, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang do not care about losing these poor counties in southern Gansu, but if the Ming army goes out of Fuzhou, it is a real threat to their hearts.

But it didn't help.

"The second army reported to Kejian, and captured Chang Dachun, the governor of Jiangxi who was in charge of the war, and this person called himself the queen of Kaiping Zhongwu."

The attendant then reported.

"Kill yourself, forgive your family!"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, it's the same whether to forgive or not, Chang Yuchun's descendants are from Hengyang, and his hometown is estimated to have been copied, if he is not copied, even if he gives Chang Yuchun's descendants a special treatment, in fact, during this time, there are descendants of those famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty from time to time, and there are even a few officials who claim to be in the clan, trying to escape the punishment of the people for these reasons, but they all failed to get their wish, at most they gave their families some more lenient treatment.

And the conquest of Ji'an allowed the Ming Dynasty to knock Nanchang at the same time.

"The First Army reported that the Tatars drove the people as the vanguard to counterattack our army, resulting in the failure of the attack on Xiangtan, and the three infantry brigades suffered two hundred casualties."

The attendant then reported bad news.

In fact, on the battlefield before, there have been sporadic Qing troops driving people to be cannon fodder, after all, they have no other way, the Ming army's formation is lined up, any attacker is a suicide, and the surrounding radius is a place of death, whether it is infantry or cavalry or even the ancient shield cart is useless. If the cavalry is brave, there is still hope to rush through, but even the most heroic Qing cavalry does not have the will to bear half of the casualties, so it has become the best way to drive the people as cannon fodder and counterattack. However, the side effects of this method are too great, and doing so is equivalent to tearing off the last bit of fig leaf, so although there are such actions, large-scale use is not.

However, on the battlefield of Xiangtan, in the face of the mighty Ming army, the Qing army finally did not want to be faceless, after all, this was the last line of defense in Changsha.

More than 5,000 old and weak women and children who were arrested by those regimental training were driven forward, and the Qing army followed behind the three infantry brigades that rushed to the front of the Ming army, and the Ming army was also stupid in the face of this shameless tactic, although their artillery shells could still continue to bombard, but the line infantry could not fire at the old and weak women and children who were crying in front, and finally the Qing army successfully rushed into the distance of the cold weapon battle. Although the Ming army still fought a bloody battle with them with bayonets, but in the end they still had to retreat, and the Ming army could only temporarily garrison Zhuzhou to study how to deal with the new tactics of the Qing army, not that the Qing army in Xiangtan was afraid to continue to do this, but was afraid that the Qing army in other places would also follow suit, if it could not be curbed at once, then the battle would not be easy to fight in the future.

"They're really dead!"

Yang Shenhuang said speechlessly.

If it is not surprising that the Eight Banners Army did this, but those gentry also did this, it would really refresh his understanding.

"Ask the arsenal over there, if the six-inch mortar I want is made, if it is made, it will be given priority to the first army, and the common people can't fight, then use cannons to bombard these dog thieves, and pass on my will, for those who drive people as cannon fodder on the battlefield, whether they are Tartars, green battalions or regimental training, they will be shot on the spot even if they surrender, and once their hometown is recovered, whether it is an officer or a soldier, the whole family will be exiled to Nanyang!"

Yang Feng said viciously.

The Qing army can let the common people block the front, but they can't stop the cannonballs falling from the parabola, especially the shells of the mortars, since this is the case, let's bombard them with mortars!

Take 186 mm mortar bombardment.

Although the caliber of this new mortar cannon is so large that it can be described as scary, because of the use of old-fashioned spherical shells, it is actually equivalent to a 150 mortar, and the shell weighs 40 catties, which is an upgraded version of the 20 catties mortar gun, which is different from the 20 catties mortar that can be lifted by several people with a wooden base, this uses a steel plate base and wheels, and the way of use is similar to a vehicle-mounted mortar, but because it is black powder, the range limit is only three miles.

Of course, this is enough.

He didn't believe that the Qing army could withstand the bombardment of this level of flowering shells, and in the future, put the 20-pound mortar into the artillery battalion of the infantry brigade, and then count this as an artillery brigade, and the combat habit of the Ming army was usually a brigade with an artillery brigade belonging to the mortar battalion, and the number of artillery pieces in such a brigade-level combat unit would reach 70. Anyway, this ratio is also very terrifying, and all of them can use flowering shells, this kind of firepower is enough to deal with the Qing army even if it is purely shelled, the only trouble is that the pressure on logistics is greater, but fortunately, this is still bearable for Da Ming, after all, the number of his cannons sounds scary, but in fact, because of the use of sub-loading ammunition and the opponent is too bad, a battle can not fight a few shots at all.

Even if the battle at Shanguan was exhausted, the fifty-two cannons that participated in the battle only fired 20,000 shells in the end, and the consumption of shells was not so terrifying before learning the straggler formation and trench warfare.

"In addition, the Fourth Army conquered Baoqing, the Seventh Army attacked Baise, and in Guangxi except for a few places at the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi, there was no recovery, and other places were basically recovered, but Li Tong reported that whether it was going north out of Qingyuan to attack Guiyang or out of Baise to attack Kunming, they had to face the problem of the natives, these natives are still sitting and watching, but they will definitely not move forward. Although these places have been changed to the land, but those native chiefs still hold the power of the people, and these native chiefs also control the land, these places are all mountains, almost every acre of land is precious, if they really want to divide it, they will definitely resist desperately, and the natives listen to these chiefs, it is difficult for them to understand the policy of the holy pilgrimage, once we fight with these natives, our march will inevitably be delayed. ”

The attendant continued to report.

"Li Kaifang, have you forgotten how I taught him? Doesn't he get it yet? The contradiction between our poor people and the landlords is the same as the contradiction between those mountain people and the chiefs, the mountains and fields are indeed precious, but the more precious they are, the more we must divide the fields, and the attack on Yungui can be slowed down, but the matter of dividing the fields cannot be delayed. ”

Yang Feng said dissatisfied.

Obviously, Li Kaifang is good at fighting, and his political work ability is still poor.

What's so hard about those natives?

After the change of land and return to the stream, the Tusi have become landlords and gentry, and the contradictions there are no different from other places, at first the Tusi will definitely not welcome the arrival of the Ming army because of language and mutual distrust, but this only takes time.

"Let the General Political Department send political work teams to pick those who are familiar with the language and customs of the local people, suspend the march of the Seventh Army, carry out land reform in the areas inhabited by the local people that have been controlled, let these political work teams do ideological work one village after another, explain our policies, and do not be soft on those who dare to obstruct, and must not continue to attack forward until the land reform in these places is completely resolved, if Li Kaifang does not do this well, then when I go back, I will personally go over to give him an example."

Then he added.

In fact, he didn't worry about it at all.

All he needs is time, as long as he solves the lower-level natives, only those chiefs can't make any waves, and even the fourth elder brother has cleaned them up, which shows that its combat effectiveness itself is also quite scummy, with a powerful Ming army to suppress it, and a political work team to disintegrate its people's hearts, it is not difficult to clean up those mountain people.

The war reports of the Ming army on the battlefields were thus processed here by the Emperor of God, and were quickly sent back to Guangzhou by telegram, and then sent to the armies.

And the Divine Emperor's fleet continued to ride the waves.

Early the next morning, with a golden glow in the background, the fleet appeared in the field of vision of the defenders of the Dagu Fort.
