Chongzhen Chat Group

He was not wrong. The Portuguese could not be so kind. They stayed away from Europe and came to Southeast Asia to seek benefits, not to be holy mothers.

The Ming Dynasty gradually became stronger and Emperor Chongzhen's tough performance made the Portuguese feel the crisis. Previously, the Portuguese had no choice but to agree to the Ming Dynasty's request, escort food from Southeast Asia, destroy pirates, and annihilate the Dutch, all under the threat of the Ming Dynasty.

But it was because of these things, especially the elimination of the large Dutch people, that shocked the Portuguese greatly. The Ming Dynasty not only expelled the missionaries, but also showed an increasingly strong territorial desire. In the Ming Dynasty, foreign troops, including fleets, were not allowed to exist on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Portuguese and Dutch themselves were fighting to the death, the Portuguese at this time had a feeling of sadness. They analyzed that after the Ming Dynasty truly solved the problems in the north, it would inevitably focus on the south. The matter of the Portuguese garrisoning troops and fleets in Macau would sooner or later be brought to the table by the Ming Dynasty and forcibly expelled.

For these Western barbarians who came to colonize from afar, this was something they could not accept. Because if the two means they most rely on for colonization, namely missionary work and military support, are gone, they will have no sense of security and will feel very uneasy about this model, or it can be said that they are very unaccustomed to it.

For this reason, they took precautions and set their sights on Annan on the edge of the Ming Dynasty. It was the only place from the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang and had a good geographical location. If troops and fleets are stationed here, it won't be a big problem if the Ming Dynasty no longer allows them to station troops and fleets in Macau. The only thing to consider is the Zheng family in the north of Annan. If the Zheng family can be eliminated and the southern forces can unify Annan, this will be the focus of the Portuguese's consideration.

Of course, it was impossible for George to tell Ruan Fuyuan the reason in detail. He just pretended to be friends with Ruan Fuyuan. Now that his friend is in trouble, Portugal will definitely help him. Of course, in return, the Portuguese interests in Annan will definitely be further strengthened.

Now, under George's instigation, Ruan Fuyuan did not think about it for long, and decided to use all his strength to launch an attack on the Zheng family in the north. The Zheng family must be eliminated in one fell swoop before the Ming Dynasty reacts.

In the original history, after the Zheng family in the north suffered a great defeat, they immediately learned their lesson and also colluded with the Western Barbarians, the Dutch, the mortal enemies of the Portuguese, for help. The two sides remained in a stalemate for nearly a hundred years before the winner was determined.

However, in this dimension, the Ming Dynasty struck hard and either wiped out the Dutch along the coast of the Ming Dynasty or fled far away. As a result, the Zheng family in the north could not collude with the Dutch in time like in history. Fight against the Nguyen forces with the help of the Portuguese.

Under the influence of the butterfly effect, Annan, which had just experienced a war, was about to erupt into a second, more violent war. Of course, even if Emperor Chongzhen has a chat group, it is impossible to receive news about these matters for the time being.

In fact, at this time, even if he received the news, he would not be relieved, because the war to regain Liaodong had already begun, and this was what he was most concerned about.

At the top of Liaoyang City, the Manchu and Qing soldiers were on high alert. After a few days of getting used to it, they were already a little numb to the arrogant Ming army outside the city that refused to stop at night. They had no choice but to accept the humiliating reality of being forced to do nothing before them. For this reason, the morale of the tired Manchu soldiers who had been boosted by humiliation suddenly plummeted, and each one of them was as depressed as a crop struck by frost.

Outside the city, the Ming army did not increase significantly even if it was not collected at night. It was just the same number as the first day, or it could always remain that large if there was rotation. This made the Manchu and Qing garrison at the top of the city feel a little more at ease. It seemed that the Ming army had no idea of ​​attacking Liaoyang for the time being.

After this news was reported to Baylor's house, Amin felt even more pleased. It seemed that after his cooperation, Sony's peace talks should have made progress. I hope that the news will be sent back soon, so that at least we can know what the situation is. Only in this way can you truly feel at ease.

Amin's tight strings have been somewhat loosened. No, now he wakes up later every day. On this day, he had just gotten up, and before he had time to wash his face and mouth and have breakfast, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the house.

Just when he was doubtful, a personal guard pushed open the door with a bang without being informed at all, and reported with a panic look on his face: "Master, it's not going well, the Ming army... The Ming army has made a big move." Invading!"

With a "clang", the maid holding the basin beside her was so frightened that her hands softened. The basin fell to the ground, water spilled all over the floor, and even splashed on Amin's body. But Amin ignored this at all. He was shocked and asked sternly: "How many people are coming, and who is the commander?"

Just after he asked the question, before the guard could answer, Amin trotted out by himself. He couldn't wait any longer. The string in his heart was as tight as it could be. He had to go to the top of the city to see it in person. At this time, he was skeptical of anything others said. Only if he had seen it himself could he know what was going on.

Outside the house, the sound of police gongs clanging could be heard very clearly, and there were panicked Manchu soldiers in the streets and alleys. However, Amin didn't care about this. He rode out in plain clothes, kicked up dust on the street, and hurriedly climbed to the top of Liaoyang City in the shortest time. He didn't even have time to go up to the arrow tower, so he looked out from the top of the city.

In the fields outside the city, groups of Ming soldiers were already forming into formations to surround Liaoyang. In the distance of the official road in the south, Ming troops were pouring out as far as the eye could see. The flag is fluttering, hunting in the wind, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

At this time, the sun did not rise very high, but the Ming army arrived outside Liaoyang City in high spirits. It was obvious that the Ming army camped in a field not far from Liaoyang City last night. If there were scouts sent outside, the news would have been known in advance, and the Ming army would not have been able to march over from Anshan Posthouse so easily!

Thinking of this, Amin suddenly regretted it. At this time, he naturally understood that Sony, that idiot, definitely did not deceive the Ming army. Not only did he fail, but he also caused Liaoyang to suffer. Now that the Ming army has surrounded Liaoyang City, there is no response here. This is the most taboo thing in a war!

He hated Sony so much in his heart, but he didn't have time to complain. He subconsciously ordered immediately to ask for help from Shenyang. It was urgent!

There is no need for Amin to arrange the defense on the city. There is only one defense system. Otherwise, he, the commander, would have to arrange additional troops for defense. The day lily would be cold. After sending a messenger for help, Amin pushed away the Baylor clothes that a guard brought over and tried to let him put on. He just looked intently outside the city to distinguish the flags outside the city and observe the details of the Ming army.

At this time, he finally noticed that the Ming army outside the city was led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and included the Dongjiang Army, Guanning Army and the New Army. After such a long time, we could already see the tail of the Ming army approaching from the distance of the official road. I made a rough estimate in my mind and immediately guessed that there were about 20,000 Ming soldiers. Although this number is larger than the Qing army in Liaoyang City, it is not scary. Governor Denglai must have seen the opportunity, temporarily mobilized surrounding troops, and rushed to attack Liaoyang while it was deaf and blind. Just Liaoyang.

Although Amin could barely tolerate the strength of the Ming army, he was really shocked when he saw the number of Hongyi artillery being deployed on the Ming army's artillery position. Hundreds of red barbarian cannons!

Is the Ming army crazy? In the past, there were not many Hongyi cannons in the important Ming army towns on the Ningjin front line. Now, hundreds of Hongyi cannons have been brought in at once. Are the Hongyi cannons really free of charge? Isn’t it that the Ming Dynasty has no money, and even the military pay has been released, so is it going to be in arrears? No matter how strong Liaoyang City is, how can it withstand the bombardment of hundreds of Hongyi cannons?

At this moment, Amin was instinctively afraid. He is also a human being, and when he knows that the enemy is powerful, he will naturally be afraid of death. In other words, if you really want to talk about it, Amin's courage is not as courageous as that of ordinary Manchu soldiers.

In the original history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty invaded the Ming Dynasty's capital for the first time. Yongping, Yong'an, Zunhua, and Luanzhou were occupied. Huang Taiji tried to use these cities as the Manchu Qing's bridgehead in the pass. When he returned to Liaodong with a full load after the plunder, he transferred Amin to take charge of Yongping. But when Amin heard that Sun Chengzong led the Ming Dynasty King Qin's army to counterattack, he had no intention of defending. He massacred the city and burned Yongping, and escaped from the pass before the Ming army reached Yongping.

It was also because of this that Amin was seized by Huang Taiji, deprived of his military power and placed under house arrest. From then on, he disappeared from the stage of the Qing Dynasty.

But in this plane, in this Liaoyang City, Amin never thought of escaping, not that he was bold. But Liaoyang is too important to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This city must not be lost! Otherwise, Shenyang will lose its barrier and troops will attack the city.

Amin made an estimate in his mind, and took advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet completed the encirclement, and immediately sent additional messengers to report the general situation of the Ming army to Huang Taiji in Shenyang, so that they could be well aware of it and send reinforcements as soon as possible!

Regardless of the reaction of the Manchus in Liaoyang City, the Ming army outside the city has been dispatching troops and generals in an orderly manner according to the plan. There were detailed plans in advance and sand table simulations. It was all very clear which army was where, which arms were in the front and which arms were in the rear.

And the Ming army's calmness and confidence made Amin, who was observing carefully again on top of the city, even more uneasy. In particular, the artillery position of the Ming Army may have been bullied by the fact that there were only ordinary artillery on top of Liaoyang City, and the range was not as far as the Hongyi Cannon. The Ming Army's artillery position was actually located not far from the south gate, and the Hongyi Cannon could It can effectively hit the city head, but the cannon on the city head cannot fire effectively.

After looking at it for a while, it was more than that. The Ming army's Hongyi cannons were not lined up in a row, but ten in a row. After they were arranged, they arranged another row a few feet away. As they approached the city, they seemed to be about to attack. After using the Hongyi cannon in the back row to suppress the city head, the closer Hongyi cannon can blast the city at close range!

Once the Ming army's artillery is deployed and the rear row of Hongyi artillery begins to suppress the city's artillery, those close-range Hongyi artillery can calmly complete preparations to attack the city and join the ranks of bombarding Liaoyang City. When that time comes, how many times can Liaoyang City be bombarded? Although the Qing Dynasty knew that the Ming army's artillery was powerful and therefore had the strength to reinforce the city wall, even if the city wall was made of iron, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the Hongyi artillery!

At this moment, Amin suddenly felt very angry. Why did these Han people want to make gunpowder and artillery? Isn't it good for everyone to fight the same way as before, with you fighting with a knife and me with a gun? Using these things to attack and defend a city is simply bullying!

No, the Ming army must not be allowed to calmly complete the artillery deployment. Otherwise, Liaoyang will definitely fall! With this in mind, Amin looked at the artillery positions outside the city, and suddenly a lucky idea came to his mind.

The Ming army probably never thought that the Qing Dynasty would counterattack, right? Do you think that the Qing Dynasty will always stay in the city and be beaten passively? Amin thought this and gritted his teeth and immediately ordered: "Mobilize the cavalry, with the Bajala White Armor soldiers as the vanguard, lay down the Ming army's artillery positions, destroy the Hongyi cannons, and ignite the gunpowder."

Upon hearing this, his generals were immediately shocked and hurriedly admonished: "Master, the white-armored soldiers of Bagala are the most elite in our Qing Dynasty. If we go to war like this, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Master, please think twice!"

After hearing this, Amin opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "Once the Ming army's artillery position is 100%, can Liaoyang be defended? If Liaoyang cannot be defended, what's the use of Bajala's white-armored soldiers? Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. While the Ming army is still busy encircling Liaoyang and its foothold is not yet firm, Bagaya's white-armored soldiers immediately go to battle!"

This was a strict order, and his men were used to fighting, and they understood that what Amin said was reasonable, so they did not dare to neglect and quickly began to assemble the cavalry.

Today's Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer in its heyday. The extravagant arms of the cavalry are extremely rare. There are only about 500 cavalry that can be retained to charge into battle. But those who can be retained are the elite.

When the cavalry led by Baya La's white-armored soldiers gathered at the city gate, Amin turned to the inner city wall, looked down at the cavalry who were almost ready below, and shouted loudly: "If Liaoyang City falls, Shenyang will be in danger. ! To defend Liaoyang, the Ming army’s Hongyi artillery must be destroyed! Ben Beile is not afraid to tell you that after the autumn harvest, our Qing Dynasty will have the ability to counterattack the Ming Dynasty. But now, only by protecting Liaoyang can our Qing Dynasty have a future! "

At this point, his face looked a little ferocious, and he shouted: "This battle is a battle for our country, the Qing Dynasty! And you are the key to the survival of our Qing Dynasty! If the Ming army is unprepared, you will die. I will die on the Ming Army’s artillery position, even if I die, I will destroy the Ming Army’s artillery! Let’s go!”

It was past ten o'clock when I got home from overtime work last night and I couldn't code. The update this morning was a little late. Thank you for your understanding.
