Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 87 Entering Guangzhou
The soldiers of the Ming army, who were guarding the city of Guangzhou in a favorable position, had stopped their shelling.They need to confirm the effect of the shelling and see if they want to change the shelling strategy.Generally speaking, the Ming army's shelling was mainly to attack the city walls, and they did not want to overly harm the houses in the city or kill the residents.

Huo Yuanxia, ​​who had good eyesight, looked at the gate of Guangzhou City, and was taken aback for a moment. He grabbed his partner Peng Lu and said, "Hey, Lao Peng, am I dazzled? Why is the city gate opened?"

Peng Lu also went to look at it quickly: "Uh, it seems that the city is really opened? Could it be that the Qing army is going out of the city to fight?"

"No one escaped?"

Their platoon leader Ren Erxi held up his binoculars and said, "The white flag is being raised."

Peng Lu and Huo Yuanxia became excited: "Did you actually surrender directly?"

The strange behavior of the Qing army caused a faint commotion in the Ming army. Shang Zhonghe, the head of the 102 regiment sitting outside the city, had no time to send someone to the boat to ask Bai Mingxiu for instructions, and immediately ordered his cavalry battalion to enter the city.At the same time, he also asked the artillery to be closely prepared to shell if things went wrong.The two infantry battalions also followed the cavalry battalion to provide some fire support.

He didn't see the other city gates open, only this one opened, and the white flag was raised. Shang Zhonghe thought it was an opportunity, so he rushed into the city first.

The cavalry battalion rushed into the city like a dragon.The Qing army on this side of the city wall had already left the city and did not make any resistance movements.As soon as the commander of the cavalry battalion entered the city, he saw a guy in a master's costume leading some soldiers to kneel down there.

"Little man Liang Zizheng kneels to welcome Master Wang into the city!"

The commander of the cavalry battalion reined in his horse and asked, "Is that the gate you opened?"

"It's a villain. Liang Mou admired the Ming army for a long time. He suffered from the oppression of the strong thieves and Tartars. He could only commit himself to his hair and wash his face with tears day and night. He hoped that the king's master would return. Today is finally the day..."

While Liang Zizheng was still doing his patriotic performance, there was a commotion in the city. It turned out that the rest of the Qing army was flustered when they saw Dongmen raise a white flag to surrender.Lu Xingzu quickly ordered a general to lead hundreds of defenders back to the city gate and drive the Ming army out.

Seeing this scene, the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion didn't panic at all. Holding the carbine in one hand and the rein in the other, he shouted: "Cavalry battalion, charge with me!"

The cavalry battalion of the 102nd regiment was not entirely composed of Guli people. In fact, the Guli people did not have much experience in riding horses.In fact, many soldiers in this cavalry unit came from Bai Mingxiu's Cossack mercenaries. Bai Mingxiu could not accept the disorganized and disciplined nature of the Cossacks and reintroduced them into the cavalry of the Australian Garrison, but this cavalry could not Avoided adding a bit of sturdy breath.

Even in such a chaotic terrain in the city, the Ming light cavalry still walked on flat ground, facing the Qing army that had no formation at all, and ran rampantly.

The carbine they equip is actually a short-barreled version of the M1 percussion gun. The cavalry holds it with one hand. After firing once, it will immediately be replaced with a saber.The light cavalry fired directly from a relatively close distance, killing many Qing troops immediately.The Qing army did not even think about coming to retake the city gate, but actually ran into a group of cavalry.The Ming cavalry rushed to defeat the Qing army that captured the city gate. The cavalry slashed with sharp sabers, and the Qing soldiers fled crying.

In the city, these infantrymen could hide in buildings, or hide in corners where horses couldn't get in, but these cavalrymen were really fierce, and they were not afraid to jump off their horses at all.They dismounted and fought on foot, and their fierceness was far superior to these Qing soldiers. The Qing army was quickly killed by them and retreated again and again.

At this time, even Shang Zhonghe, the head of the 102nd regiment, also entered the city.He said to Liang Zizheng: "Let Fanfan's troops join our Daming Fuguo Army to kill the enemy."

Liang Zizheng was not a soldier after all, but he was Lu Xingzu's aide after all, and had quite a status in the city.He talked to a few small officers who had surrendered, and those officers immediately agreed to lead their troops to kill each other.

After all, everyone could tell at this time that the Ming army had already entered the city, and their combat power was terrifying.
Soon, Sun Qian, the head of the 103rd regiment, also led his subordinates into Guangzhou City. The Ming army also gained an advantage in numbers. The resistance of the Qing army weakened immediately, and most of the Qing army chose to surrender. Yes, there was even a small general who wanted to get more credit anyway, so he went directly to the government office and arrested Lu Xingzu, the governor of Guangdong.

The battle lasted all night, and by the early morning of the next day, the Ming army had basically stabilized the situation in Guangzhou City, and His Royal Highness also berthed the warship at the pier and entered Guangzhou City.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the main task [Battle of the Return of the Son of Man], and personally captured a provincial capital. Rewards: one A-level talent thinker, one team of Soviet light infantry, one team of grenadiers, and gold finger 45 coins."

At this moment, Bai Mingxiu was so happy that he was almost crying, and the rewards after completing the main task made him a fortune.Of course, more importantly, he controlled the city of Guangzhou, and could further control the entire province of Guangdong.In this era, Guangdong Province is already one of the economic centers of the country. Its taxation is ten times that of Guangxi.

It is impossible for Bai Mingxiu to always expect to transport all kinds of supplies from Australia, where the population is sparse, and to establish his own anti-Qing base camp in Guangdong. It is most practical to build a new regime with local materials and talents.

Bai Mingxiu climbed up to the Guangzhou city tower and looked at the fleet of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army on the Pearl River. He couldn't help but said: "It is both expected and unexpected that Guangzhou can be captured so smoothly this time. I sent the King of Jin out before. Burma attacked Yunnan and killed Wu Sangui, causing a shock in the southwest. This triggered the Qing government to mobilize northern troops, and even the promising troops were sent to the southwest, which naturally created a military vacuum in Guangdong. The Qing government never calculated that the most dangerous enemy was Coming from the sea is equivalent to the chess players poaching corner positions for him from outside the chessboard.”

Tang Beilu, the Prime Minister who accompanied Bai Mingxiu to the north, said with a smile, "It all depends on His Royal Highness's ingenious calculation."

Bai Mingxiu didn't respond to this, he was driving a huge golden finger, if he couldn't achieve any results, then there would be a problem.

When the Ming army returned to Guangzhou City, Bai Mingxiu posted the Three Strategies for Restoring the Land on the same day, and received Guangzhou celebrities and merchants to calm people's hearts. The whole Guangzhou City was filled with joy, and even ordinary people even set off firecrackers.

　In the period when there is no recommendation slot, Bailian still hopes that everyone can vote for recommendation
