I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

At the beginning of August, the vanguard of the Wu army arrived in Zhenjiang, and then started to cross the river from Zhenjiang.

Playing the vanguard was the 21st Division of the Second Army of the Army and the First Division of the Navy. The teacher of the 21st division is Tang Guozhen, a leader in the academy. He is only twenty-five years old this year, very young.

Moreover, the theoretical knowledge is very solid, and the combat experience is also very rich. He has experienced the decisive battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Jiujiang, and he has risen step by step by military merit.

Although he is a freshman, he has a very good personal relationship with Liu Hansan. This time, it was also the vanguard task that Liu Hansan had won for him.

This task is well completed, and it is a credit.

Moreover, this task does not seem to have any difficulty.

The Qing army stationed in Yangzhou was less than 10,000 people, and they were basically green camps, and there were not many Eight Banners soldiers.

In the final analysis, the population of the Manchus and Mongolians is too small, and the process of annexing the Ming Dynasty is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If Daming is a dead elephant, they still have time to digest it slowly.

Just like in the original time and space, Nan Ming hardly resisted.

But if the swallowed elephant can struggle a little bit violently, the snake's stomach can't stand it.

Just like now, the Qing army suffered only two catastrophic defeats, and immediately there was a shortage of troops. Most of the North was only garrisoned by Green Battalion soldiers.

Not to mention how powerful these people are, their loyalty alone is a huge problem.

When the Qing army is strong, they will follow the fox behind the buttocks.

Once the Qing army continued to suffer defeats, they would undoubtedly be sloppy, and would quickly fall to the Wu army's side.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are Dorgon's basic plate. If this plate is smashed, most of the territory is floating clouds.

Yangzhou, the general military mansion.

"Lord Zhenbiao, what should we do? General Alinbao ordered us to immediately go to the riverside to prevent the Wu army from landing."

Hearing the question from his subordinates, Fang Ce, the commander of the Yangzhou Green Battalion, squinted his eyes and knocked on the table, then complained: "Stop, how to stop, use this bright sword to scare Wu Jun back?"

Yangzhou was close to Nanjing, so Fang Ce knew Nanjing quite well and knew the true strength of Wu Jun.

With the 8,000 troops under his own, plus those backward swords, this is not to resist at all, it is clearly to die.

Instead of resisting Wu Jun, it is better to find a way to kill Alinbao, which is much easier.

There are only more than 300 troops directly under Alinbao, which can be easily wiped out.

Moreover, he has always been prepared to do so.

Fang Ce knew for a long time that if Wu Jun wanted to go north, he would most likely have to pass through his own side, because there was the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Therefore, from a very early time, he began to think about what to do when Wu Jun went north.

After countless deductions, his decision was to surrender anyway.

Good birds choose wood to live in, and those who know the times are the heroes. Fang Ce has never sacrificed his life for Daming, and naturally he will not be stupid enough to sacrifice his life for the Qing court. He only has himself in his eyes.

"According to the plan, do it cleanly, and don't be run away by Alim Bao."

Fang Ce said that when several of his confidants heard the words, they immediately understood and started to work.

The so-called plan was to capture Alinbao alive, then send envoys to surrender to the Wu army, and by the way, discuss the conditions to see if he could keep his original official position.

Not long after, there was a sound of tearing and killing in the city. But soon, those voices died down.

More than 300 people, and they were still attacked in a premeditated manner, and they didn't resist for long. After dozens of people died, the rest chose to surrender. After all, there are only a few people who can continue to resist when they see no hope.

"Fang Ce, you are so arrogant, that I value you in vain, but you are actually collaborating with the enemy."

The arrested Alinbao yelled at Fang Ce, but Fang Ce was indifferent and looked at Alinbao with a smile.

Alinbao continued to scold him relentlessly, and after Fang Ce got impatient, Fang Ce made him applaud.

clap clap.

Dozens of loud mouths came down, and Alinbao's mouth could no longer speak.

"Swear, keep scolding, you say you are stupid or not."

Fang Ce laughed.

In the eyes of others, Alinbao is a performance of backbone. In Fang Ce's eyes, this is brain damage.

Guazhou, Wu Jun did not encounter any resistance and landed smoothly.

This made Tang Guozhen a little helpless. There was no battle, and he was embarrassed to say that he had any credit for landing.

A large number of soldiers, who were a little nervous at first, began to chat and laugh ashore, and at the same time carried various materials and equipment to the shore. When the supplies of more than 10,000 people are stacked together, they are as high as a hill.

While they were busy, an envoy sent by Fang Ce arrived and expressed his willingness to surrender.

It was Tang Guozhen who realized why he did not encounter resistance, and co-authored that someone wanted to surrender.

Tang Guozhen looked down on these grass and soft bones.

However, the policy formulated by Wu Changqing was to accept any form of surrender and to encourage and welcome the enemy's surrender.

This made those officers and generals who wanted to make a contribution helpless, but they were not so brainless enough to refuse Fang Ce's surrender for a little credit.

It is always a good thing to be able to win Yangzhou without harming one soldier and one soldier. As for the credit, we will talk about it later.

Anyway, in this decisive battle, there is no hard battle to fight without worry.

Tang Guozhen accepted Fang Ce's surrender request. As for the treatment after the surrender, Tang Guozhen was not qualified to make an assertion. He could only assure Fang Ce that the treatment would not be bad.

Fang Ce didn't really care about this reply, because he had already inquired about the current situation of the generals who had surrendered to Wu Jun, and knew that all those surrendering factions had a very good life.

For example, Hong Chengchou, Dong Tianbao and others, after surrendering, can still be among the core executives of the Wu army, which is quite rare.

You must know that people like Wu Sangui who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty were still only a general soldier at this time, and did not squeeze into the high-level of the Qing court at all.

Wu Changqing not only gave preferential treatment to the Han people, but he could even forgive the Manchus.

For example, Man Dahai and others, as Manchus, can continue to lead troops to power after surrendering.

These examples, without exception, demonstrate the inclusiveness of the Wu army and their commitment to preferential treatment of prisoners.

With these good reputation records, generals of other forces are very trustworthy in Wu Changqing's commitments and policies.

After taking over Yangzhou, the army behind can directly enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and land near Yangzhou, saving a lot of leg effort. Needless to say, all its supplies entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

For a time, the canal was densely populated with military ships, and other merchant ships avoided it.

"There's going to be another war."

The people on the merchant ship sighed.

Wu Jun's such a big move naturally couldn't hide the spies of various forces.

The news that the main force of the Wu army had started the Northern Expedition was quickly passed on to other forces.
