Lord of Ming Dynasty

It's always like this. Facing the alien race's retreat, and facing our own people, we always fight back and forth, so mighty.

They are so smart that they prolong the time for the Huaxia Army to unify the world and hinder the progress of the Huaxia Army.

The war started when the Huaxia Army found out that the Zhongzheng Camp had fled overnight. After discovering that the Zhongzheng Camp had fled overnight, Xiao Fei began to order various ministries to attack the prefecture of Jingzhou.

The various ministries of the encircled Huaxia Army captured the counties and towns of Jingzhou Prefecture from all directions.

The entire Huaxia Army was mobilized, and even the garrison was busy fighting.

The Guards Brigade was also dispatched to follow the [-]th Field Brigade from Xuancheng to attack He Tengjiao's Yongli Daming Army.

News kept coming back that Qianjiang County was captured, and Wangchang Town Ferry was also captured. The Zhongzhen Camp became the shackles in the urn. The Dashun Army generals who did not escape fled back to various counties to fight against the Huaxia Army's siege. Troops fight to the death.

One day, two days, Jingzhou Fucheng was finally surrounded by groups on the third day, all the counties and towns on all sides fell, and the Dashun army fled all over the mountains and plains, and there were 8 or [-] Dashun who fled back to Jingzhou Fucheng.

Full of enthusiasm, Xiao Fei ran into the camp in Xiaogan County and reported the good news to Zhang Qiang.

But Zhang Qiang couldn't feel any joy about it.

He is no longer the young boy he was at the beginning, he is not a low-level traveler, maybe he is still very low-level in terms of abilities in all aspects, but he has stayed in this world for more than ten years, and has seen the intrigues of the officialdom, seen With the development and growth of the Huaxia Army, his status has become higher and higher, and his horizons have become wider and wider. He no longer considers issues from the bottom.

He recollected this battle carefully, and found that Li Guo had never thought of fighting him in a dignified battle from the beginning to the end. He had already arranged for the final outcome of retreating. A little dazed by his guerrilla warfare, his temper was short-tempered, and he just talked about the matter, so he arranged a siege campaign, thinking that he could win Li Guo, a celebrity, in one fell swoop, but in the end it fell short and Li Guo ran away.

Who is Li Guo? He is a bandit. If he is allowed to run to an area where there is no threat or a weak threat to him, he will soon develop again. This has always been a serious problem for the Huaxia Army. When the mood is over, my party is as slippery as a loach, creating troubles everywhere like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, weakening and beating myself everywhere, and I can't catch them, and I feel itchy in my heart. The more I can't catch them, the more I want to catch them. It would be bad if other forces, such as Little Japan, took advantage of it and weakened their own strength.

Nothing can solve them now. What we need to do now is to win Hubei Province, drive or annihilate He Tengjiao's tribe, then close the door, and honestly manage the territory of Hubei Province.

Now the Huaxia Army has penetrated deep into the hinterland and center of Daming, and its forces have reached the south bank of the Yangtze River, the southwest of the Huai River, and the middle of the upper reaches of the Northwest. It can be said that the Huaxia Army is now the most powerful in the country. In terms of influence, it has spread from the southeast corner to most of the southwest, both sides of the Yangtze River, and the south bank of the Huai River.

The next thing to consider is to continue going north and implement the original strategic plan, or to rest for a while, digest the territory that has been annexed, and lay a solid foundation?

This is a headache.

"Governor, why are you unhappy when you hear such news?" Xiao Fei asked?

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Go ahead and take down Hubei Province as soon as possible. I authorize you to mobilize all troops except the First Guards Brigade. You must take down Hubei Province as soon as possible. If you take down Hubei Province, we will achieve it." The strategic goal of the second stage, then you can be promoted to admiral."

"Ah, ha, yes, yes, Commander-in-Chief, the last general will definitely do his best to live up to the trust of the Commander." Xiao Fei was happy, he could also become an admiral, and he was promoted to a higher rank.

Who wouldn't want to get promoted and get rich.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang was lost in thought, he left immediately wisely.

Zhang Qiang thought for a while, and decided to stop the conquest first to digest the occupied territory.

It took only one year to conquer Jiangxi Prefecture, and it took only two months for Huguangzhou to be captured. Hubei Prefecture has not been completely captured. Time to rest the troops, time to recuperate.

It will take some time to digest these three newly conquered states. These three states need subsidies from the Huaxia Army from other places, and they can't eat too much. The third strategy is to take Henan Mansion, go straight to Shandong Mansion, and cut off Hong Chengchou from behind. It seems that the time is not yet ripe for the contact of the Qing army.

There are also many newly formed troops, and their combat effectiveness is not as high as I imagined before. It will take a period of time to reorganize and train to improve their combat effectiveness.

Advanced weapons still need people to use them. If they can't use them, then they are giving the enemy advanced weapons for nothing.

He casually flipped through the information sent by the Ministry of Military Intelligence, Zheng Chenggong has now shrunk back and concentrated on doing business with the Japanese. According to the information from the Ministry of Military Intelligence, where is Baozhong Mansion, the two sides can go to each other from the honeymoon period The territories of the two sides are now guarding against each other. There are more and more optical cards, and the communication between the two sides is getting less and less. It has become a military confrontation. On the surface, everyone is an ally, but in fact everyone is wary of the opponent eating them.

Moreover, Zheng Chenggong has now heard that he is obsessed with finding the Australian continent he mentioned, and has sent three waves of fleets to search for that continent.

The Australian mainland is not far from Huaxia Daming, and the straight-line distance is very close. If it weren't for the fact that the current navigation technology still cannot directly sail on the sea without land, then it is very likely that he has found somewhere.

Now he may have set up commercial and supply stations in the Philippines, India, Malaysia and other places. While conducting commercial trade, he will explore farther places. Maybe he will become a navigator, maybe he will not be able to discover Australia, but he The economic strength of the country will definitely increase.

Maritime trade is the most profitable business in this era.

The pirates on the sea seemed to be revived. The merchants sailing everywhere had been killed repeatedly, and some people escaped and came back to report that they found pirates.

There is information that the Nanming Kingdom has once again started trading with the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and even the British. I heard that the French have also found this place. It can be said that the sea has not been too peaceful in the past few years. There are still many enemies to face.

Restricted by the war between those foreigners and the Huaxia Army, the trade between the Huaxia Army and them has now almost dropped to zero, and they can only trade with them through some sporadic small ship owners. Sea trade used to be the main income of the Huaxia Army, but now it has Became a negligible taxpayer.

On the contrary, because of the expansion of the territory, the business and trade in the interior have prospered, and they can be self-sufficient. Many things can be realized by themselves and turnover. Obtained from the trade of Ming Dynasty.

"Bounce, bounce," Zhang Qiang looked up when there was a knock on the door.

A personal guard reported loudly, "I would like to report to the Chief Commander, Liu Liangzuo. Admiral Liu brought Gao Zhixiang and General Gao to visit the Chief Executive."

Chapter 491

Gao Zhixiang is here?

Zhang Qiang knocked his head, remembered, remembered that when Kong Youde's family was wiped out earlier, Gao Zhixiang contacted Liu Liangzuo who wanted to join the Huaxia Army, and arranged for Liu Liangzuo to meet them.

He also exchanged tens of thousands of captives, guns and ammunition for Gao Zhixiang. Now I think Liu Liangzuo has already settled this matter.

To be honest, Gao Zhixiang has followed Kong Youde for many years, and he still has a lot of war experience. He is that kind of veteran. Kong Youde and Mang Gurtai's defense of the city still dealt a heavy blow to Li Dingguo's Ming army, and it took half a month of siege to take them down and wipe out the Qing army in Guangxi Prefecture.

A veteran like him, not to mention being used to expand the territory, guarding a place, using it like Liu Liangzuo and the others is also beneficial and harmless to the Huaxia Army.

With the decline of the Qing army and the resurgence of the power of the Ming Dynasty, many of the generals of the Ming Dynasty who had defected to the past in the Qing army could use waste like this.

At least they can be thrown into a place where they are partial to serve as local guards. There is no major harm. When their next generation is born, or after the dynasty changes, they will be the foundation of the Huaxia Army. At least it can alleviate the plight of the Huaxia Army's major generals and lack of officials. .

Zhang Qiang was considering what kind of officer to give Gao Zhixiang. Originally, he thought about giving him the position of commander of the cavalry brigade, a general officer.

Now it seems that it is better to let him do a garrison first. Although there are fewer troops, it can test his character, see if he is the kind of general who can hold back, hone his character, and prevent him from Soldiers rebelled.

Thinking of this, he said to his soldiers: "Let them in."

After a while, Zhang Qiang saw Gao Zhixiang, with a sturdy body, square face and broad ears, just like Guan Gong, but his eyes were weather-beaten, calm and sophisticated, deep and unpredictable, and occasionally there was a look of panic, loss, and frustration in his eyes.

Seeing Zhang Qiang, he performed a very standard bowing ceremony, just like the generals in TV movies kneeling down to the coach. Although he was dressed in civilian clothes, his momentum and demeanor showed that he had once commanded thousands of troops and held a high position. The solemn look of Xiao Sha who controls the life and death of others.

"A good general," Zhang Qiang snorted secretly, and his impression of him improved a bit.

"Gao Zhixiang, the guilty general, lost to the governor." When Zhang Qiang looked at him, he had already completed the ceremony of kneeling and shouted to Zhang Qiang loudly.

"General Gao, please rise up. General Gao has been troubled these days. General Gao abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. It is really a blessing for our Huaxia Army. Come and give me a seat." Zhang Qiang stepped forward happily, and lifted him up with his hands empty , Gao Zhixiang stood up, bowed his head, as if waiting for Zhang Qiang to let go.

Hearing Zhang Qiang's words, there was surprise and excitement in his eyes.

Zhang Qiangxu pointed, and Liu Liangzuo on the side smiled and guided him to sit down on the lower right seat next to him. The soldiers immediately served him tea, and then bowed and retreated.

Zhang Qiang exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, and the knot between the two parties was untied. Gao Zhixiang responded skillfully. It seems that he is more familiar with the officialdom than the civil servants. Zhang Qiang couldn't help laughing. This general is more familiar with the operation of the officialdom than the civil servants. It seems that The downfall of the Ming Dynasty was not a will of God, it was an inevitability.

But he knows that the more such a person is, the more capable he is, he can survive in troubled times, gain a high position, have a certain military power, and not be favored. Such a person has no ability, who has the ability?

Zhang Qiang told him about his arrangement for him, and he accepted Zhang Qiang's arrangement smoothly without raising any conditions.

But Liu Liangzuo pleaded for him at first, and wanted him to go to Jiangxi Prefecture to assist him and become his subordinate.
