Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing suddenly sounded above the tombs where Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma died.

Of course, Sun Sike knew that the Ming army might climb up the hill where the top of Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum is located from other directions and launch a surprise attack!

And he also knew the importance of the top of the treasure. Once the top of the treasure was captured by the Ming army, the sun and the moon, which symbolized the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty, were planted on the top of the top of the treasure in full view, and this battle would not have to be fought.

So Sun Sike sent his son, Sun Cheng'en, to lead a thousand soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner new army to garrison Baoding and Fangcheng beside Baoding.

When Zu Da led a battalion of Guangdong Hakka "mountain soldiers" along the hillside to the vicinity of Baoding and Fangcheng, he was already spotted by the sentinels sent by Sun Chengen.The two sides immediately had a fierce battle on the hillside near Ming Taizu Baoding!

From this perspective, the raid was not successful.

However, Zu Dana came out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses of Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, and Zu Kefa, and had extremely rich combat experience.He knew that Sun Sike's soldiers must have suffered heavy losses after fighting outside the Golden Gate until now, and they might have reached the verge of collapse.And the green signal flare rising from the top of Ming Taizu's treasure may become the last hammer to defeat Sun Sike!

Now... Zu Da doesn't need to really succeed in the raid, he only needs to pretend that the raid is successful, and he can immediately collapse the thousands of people under Sun Sike's command who are still persisting.

Therefore, Zu Da, who was old and strong, personally led the Hakka soldiers to pretend to attack the hill where Ming Taizu Baoding was located, and at the same time let people keep sending signal flares into the sky.

This old man really worked hard, regardless of his old age, he still rushed to the front by his own example - this is "rescue Zhu Yuanzhang"!

The first achievement in the battle of Jiangning must belong to the person who put the flag of the sun and the moon on the top of Ming Taizu's treasure!

With this great achievement, his old man will be able to take the title of Lord Hou when Zhu Heqi ascends the throne.

Sun Sike's son, Sun Cheng'en, was also unambiguous, and he also brought his own soldiers to the Ming Taizu Baoding, where he was going to fight to the death!

Under the Hakka barracks led by Zu Da, two teams were equipped with advanced flintlock guns, and Zu Da also charged with a bayonet-mounted flintlock gun.Just after rushing to the top of the treasure, I saw a bearded Zhenglan Banner warrior waving a simple knife, wailing and rushing towards him.

This is to rely on his physical strength to bully Zu Da, an elderly man!

Thinking of this, Zu Da panted heavily, raised the flintlock gun in his hand, aimed at the big man who was only seven or eight steps away from him, and shot him cleanly without waiting for him to hide.The lead bullet was pushed out of the muzzle by the heat generated by the deflagration of the gunpowder, and unceremoniously penetrated the cloth mask on the strong man of the bannerman, and shot into his chest.This burly man of the bannerman only felt that something hit his chest hard, and then there was severe pain, and all the strength in his body disappeared without a trace... Let alone cutting people, he couldn't even stand firmly , the foot is soft, and the whole person falls on his back.When he fell on Zhu Yuanzhang's grave, there was a terrifying "Autumn Autumn" sound in his ears. He turned his head with the little energy left and saw hundreds of roads appearing in the sky. The flames were flying towards the Zhenglan Banner new army gathered at Sun Quan's tomb and the Shinto.

Zu Da also saw this scene, and immediately got up and shouted: "Da Ming won! Daming won!"

As soon as he shouted, the Hakka soldiers who rushed up with him immediately became frenzied, and everyone shouted: "Win, win..."

One of the strong men carrying the sun and moon flag ran to Uncle Zu's side with a huff, and asked loudly, "Grandpa, grandpa, did you win?"

"I won! I won... put the flag on me!"

"But we haven't climbed to the top yet!" That strong man is a real person, he has only rushed to the waist of Baoding now, and the top is still in the hands of the Qing army.

"Insert!" Zu Daodao, "Insert first... This is called cheating!"

As he spoke, he put the flintlock on his back, and then, together with the strong man, he stuck the big flag firmly into the mud with his own hands!

A gust of northwest wind blows from the Yangtze River, blowing this big flag into the wind.

……

"Win, win, win..."

I saw green signal flares soaring from Zhu Yuanzhang's grave one after another, and saw a striking red-bottomed sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind.

Dajinmen, Xiamafang, and Ming soldiers waiting at the foot of Zijin Mountain, who were about to launch a counterattack, uttered the loudest shouts.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The drums of the general attack resounded through the sky!

The infantry of the Ming army's second town, which had already moved to the back of the "earth trench line", heard the drums of the attack, and began to use the battalion as a unit, shouting and climbing over the earth wall.Holding muskets and spears, he launched an impact in the direction of the Great Golden Gate.

Behind them, dozens of small mortars lined up, firing super-caliber sugar ammunition towards the Golden Gate at the fastest speed.Inside and outside the Great Golden Gate, a large column of smoke and flames suddenly rose, and the fragments of the shells swept across the entire Qing army's position like a storm.Fragments of the refusal gun placed outside the door were blown up and flew around, and the bricks and stones on the wall of the Great Golden Gate fell straight down.Gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire front in an instant, and the Qing army, which was already unable to fight, immediately became a mess, running around trying to avoid the artillery, and some people simply rushed to the mountains on both sides of the Golden Gate rush away.

At the same time, in the sky, there were waves of roaring rockets that rushed towards the Sifang City, Shinto, and Sun Quan's Tomb behind the Golden Gate, and landed on the heads of the Qing troops assembled there.

In fact, the accuracy of these rockets is limited. If the Ming army was not too familiar with the terrain of Ming Xiaoling, it would be impossible for these rockets to directly bombard the rear assembly area of ​​the Qing army.

The bazookas that Zhu Heqi made were actually used to replace cannons, and they were to be placed in front of the formation for direct aiming.And now it's indirect aiming... oh, it's not even indirect aiming, it's just hitting blindly.But there are still many rockets that accurately landed on Sifang City, Shinto, and Sun Quan's tomb, and exploded!

The Qing army assembled there will soon be unable to bear it... Who can stand standing there and be bombarded by rockets?If they can't stand it, they have to hide, so all the recruits of the Eight Banners who were bombed will go into the nearby woods. As long as they disperse and drill into the woods, the rockets will not kill a few people.

But the problem is, not only did they disperse the team, but they also disperse the hearts of the people... If the team disperses, they can be reconvened. If the hearts of the people are dispersed, no one can organize resistance again.

Now these Zhenglan Banner new troops under Sun Sike not only believe that "the treasure top has been lost" and "the battle has been defeated", but also think that they can avoid death as long as they surrender, and they can also take the travel expenses to go home.

That being the case, why bother?What's the point of losing your life in vain?They don't love Kang Mazi that much.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

In the ears of Sun Sike, who had climbed up to the gate of the Great Golden Gate, a burst of panicked cries suddenly sounded, and when he looked around, there was only a tragic scene of defeat.On the not-so-wide battlefield, groups of blue banner soldiers fled into the woods everywhere.

And the Ming army launched an impact towards the top of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum like a tide, unstoppable!

Where did Sun Sike's own flag go?There are not many loyal Ghoshhas around.Moreover, around the gate tower of the Great Golden Gate where he was located, there were soldiers of the Ming army with high morale.

It's just that those people didn't know that Sun Sike was on the gate tower, so they all rushed up the mountain.

But Sun Sike also knew that he couldn't run away. Zijin Mountain was a lonely mountain surrounded by the outer city of Nanjing, and the outer city was already under the control of the Ming army, so no one could break out of the siege.

And if he wants to fall into Zhu Heqi's hands, he must be stabbed one after another!

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked north again—not at Zhu Yuanzhang's Baoding, but at the northern sky.

People can't go back, but the soul can fly back... Hurry up, don't let Zhu Yuanzhang's soul catch it!

Thinking of this, Sun Sike no longer hesitated, pulled out his waist knife, put it on his neck and pulled it suddenly...

Volume Seven

Chapter 423 I want to make Daming great again!

In the third year of King Ding of the Ming Dynasty, on September [-]th, Nanjing.

The inside and outside of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty has been tidied up hastily, and the dense corpses outside the Great Golden Gate have been removed as much as possible.The corpses from the Dajinmen to Ming Taizu Baoding were also collected, wrapped in white cloth, sprinkled with lime, and waited to be transported away.There are also sugar bombs and gunpowder bombs scattered everywhere that have not exploded, and they have also been collected.It's just that the wall of the Great Golden Gate was beaten like a honeycomb, and there are traces of smoke and fire everywhere, but there is no way to remove it immediately.

However, the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is generally in good condition. Zhu Yuanzhang should be satisfied after tidying up and decorating it later.

The heavily armed soldiers of the Great Tomorrow came out of Xiaoling Weicheng where they were stationed early this morning, and then lined up in two rows along the road from Xiaolingwei to Xiaoling Fangcheng, all of them with their chests and belly protruding. His face is full of expressions of "I'm awesome" and "I'm invincible in the world" - this is the expression of a winner!

They are indeed qualified to be awesome!

It took them less than a day to take down the Jiangnan camp that Emperor Kangxi had painstakingly managed, and wiped out 1 defenders, and cut off the head of the Minister in charge, Sun Sike!

And their own losses were less than 1000 people, of which only more than [-] people were killed or seriously injured.

With such a disparate exchange ratio in the tough battle, how can you not be an invincible elite soldier?

And the significance of this battle to wipe out the Jiangnan camp is even greater!

Because before that, Zhuge Sanhe had already broken through the bastion on the south bank of Anqing, and seized all the territory of the five prefectures and one prefecture in southern Anhui.

And all the sites on the south bank of the Yangtze River among the six southern Jiangsu prefectures have also been captured by the second and seventh towns of the Ming army and the navy led by Zhu Heqi.

So this Jiangnan camp was the last stronghold of the Qing army south of the Yangtze River.

The capture of the Jiangnan camp by the Ming army meant the end of the Qing rule in the south of the Yangtze River!

For the new Ming court led by Zhu Heqi, breaking the Jiangnan camp also means that the new Ming court has established a firm foothold in the Jiangnan area and can officially return the capital to Nanjing.

From now on, the new Ming court has changed from a local regime that ruled the south of the sky to a king who has one third of the world and can ask for the importance of winning the crown.

"Saint... Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The cheers of mountains and tsunami suddenly sounded from outside the north gate of Xiaoling Acropolis.

It turned out that Zhu Heqi had finished bathing and changing clothes, and strode out of Xiaoling Acropolis surrounded by a group of civil servants, military generals and attendants.

I saw him wearing yellow clothes, wearing a yellow scarf, hanging a long sword, and hanging an empty hammer. He was dressed as a saint, striding with his head held high. Amidst the cheers, he walked step by step to the top of the Xiaoling Mausoleum where Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were buried.

He was going to report to Zhu Yuanzhang face-to-face the phased results of the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty work before going to the top of the Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Restoring the work of Ming Dynasty cannot be accomplished overnight. Daming is too big... There are two capitals and 13 provinces in the heart, and there are Nurgan Dusi, Uszang, Kansai Seven Guards, etc. in the surrounding parts, and there are many others outside. The vassal states and Xuanweisi.To fully recover, it is estimated that it will take 20 years of hard work!

And Zhu Heqi has now restored the "half capital" plus four provinces among the two capitals and thirteen provinces... This "half capital" is of course not "half Nanjing", but half Nanzhili.The two capitals in the "two capitals and thirteen provinces" of the Ming Dynasty refer to the north and south Zhili.The thirteen provinces are Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang.

Among them, Shaanxi Province also includes parts of Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places in later generations.Huguang includes Hunan and Hubei, and Shandong includes part of Liaodong.

Now all of the Jiangnan part in southern Zhili, most of Anqing Prefecture and Luzhou Prefecture in the northern part of Jiangnan, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and a small part of Huguang in the thirteen provinces have all been restored.It can be described as a remarkable achievement!

Thinking of the miracles he had created in the past three to less than four years, Zhu Heqi proudly puffed up his chest and strode forward amidst the cheers of the people.

The road from Acropolis of Xiaoling to Baoding of Xiaoling is about ten miles away.Zhu Heqian, who was in a good mood, walked like flying. They had already covered the distance of more than ten miles in less than an hour, and stood alone on the edge of the Baoding stone wall behind the square city of Xiaoling Mausoleum.

This is considered to be "face to face" with Zhu Yuanzhang... He has been to this place several times before crossing over, and now he is revisiting his old place.

But the land is the old place, but the people are not the old people, but the ancients!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi suddenly looked at the stone wall in front of him with burning eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Ming Taizu, I have worked so hard to come here from the 21st century, is it because you made something up? Do you want me to come back and lead everyone to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?”

Facing a series of questioning from Zhu and Qi, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer a word, and didn't even show his face.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Zhu Heqian could only sigh and said, "For the sake of Daboling, Shuzhen, Jiaxin, Yubing, and Aoi, I won't argue with you anymore..."

To be honest, although Zhu Heqi had a good time in his previous life and learned foreign languages ​​with the Ukrainian lady, he still can't compare with the present in this respect!

Zhu Hexi paused for a moment, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was silent, "Now the half-capital and four provinces have been restored... but they are all good places! Although only three parts of the world, but they are the essence of the world, as long as After a good rectification, it is enough to use this third to equalize the other two thirds!"

What he said is really not bragging. Now the land in half of Beijing and four provinces in his hands can be called a world-class treasure land.

If these four provinces in Beijing are cut out to calculate GDP, it must be the first in the world!

The land is not small, and it is relatively fertile, with a lot of rainfall, so the yield is very high.

The handicraft industry and economic crops are even more powerful. Before Zhu Heqi took over, it had four important products for international trade: porcelain, silk, tea, and sugar.

And all have a monopoly position!

In addition, due to the turmoil in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the population of these four provinces in Beijing is not large, at most 3000 to [-] million... This per capita GDP is probably one of the best in the world, perhaps only the Netherlands and England Can also compare.

Therefore, some people in later generations questioned that the prosperity of the Kangxi Dynasty was viewed from the perspective of development, while the prosperity of the Kangxi Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty was a regressive period.

But the regressing prosperous age is also a prosperous age, with the largest GDP in the world, and four high-end handicraft industries, among which porcelain and silk are the most high-end handicraft industries in the world!

Moreover, the population is small, and the per capita is high... How is this not a prosperous age?

It's just that this prosperous age was snatched by the Qing Dynasty, and it came too easily and by luck, so I don't know how to cherish it at all.

After taking over, they tried their best to toss people, not only did not want to find a way to upgrade the industry, but also kept restricting and destroying it, wishing to downgrade the industry... Finally, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they finally got what they wanted.

Not to mention the loss of all the four major advantageous industries, even the country’s tariff sovereignty, financial sovereignty, and railway sovereignty have also been completely lost, and it also owes huge foreign debts that will never be repaid... The country has been abruptly turned into a One of the poorest countries in the world!

And this poverty has been poor for more than 100 years. Until Zhu Hechi's youth in his previous life, China was still very poor.And the process of going from poor to moderately well-off is really too difficult!

So when Zhu Hechi figured out that the territory he is managing now is probably the richest in the world, he was really moved!

This Great Qing... is indescribable!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi actually had a sense of sacred mission in his heart: "Taizu, you were the one who defeated Hezhou in the first year of Longfeng and became the lord of a state. In the first year of Hongwu, you expelled the Tartars and restored China. It took 13 years.

And I have only been in the army for more than three years, and I already have half of the capital and four provinces. By the time I started the army for 13 years, I must have recovered the land of two capitals and thirteen provinces... But the restoration of two capitals and thirteen provinces is by no means the end .

I want to make Daming great again, and make China always number one! "

Chapter 424 Going to Beijing to rush for the exam, you must be No.1!

When Zhu Heyi reported to Zhu Yuanzhang the progress and future prospects of the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty work, and asked him to bless himself, Daboling, Shuzhen, Jiaxin, Yubing, Aoi, and his children, And father Zhu Tianwang, they are all safe and healthy.He left Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum on foot, and ate some dry food with Da Boling and the accompanying attendants on the way.When they returned to Xiamafang, it was almost Shen Shi.

At this time, on the Xiamafang side, the victorious soldiers of the brigade and the defeated and captured Qing Yao were already waiting there.

Seeing him and Da Boling approaching, talking and laughing, Da Ming's victorious soldiers burst into cheers again.

Zuo Chunqiu, Zhuge Zhengyang, Huang Zongxi, Wan Sida, Yu Chenglong, Zu Da, Zu Yonglie, Zu Chenglie, civil servants and generals, and a large group of Jiangnan tycoons who gave money to "redeem Zhu Yuanzhang" also greeted them together. Go forward and salute Zhu Hechi.

"Jian Guo, the Hall of Martial Arts in the Nanjing Imperial City has been packed, and you can live in it tonight."

It was Yu Chenglong who spoke... Isn't he an honest official?So Zhu Hechi planned to train him to be the "Minister of Internal Affairs" of the Ming Dynasty. Although he has not been officially appointed now, he can take care of things first.

In the future, he will be responsible for repairing the Xiaoling Mausoleum and the Forbidden City in Nanjing, as well as repairing the tombs of the five former emperors in Nanjing, including Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, Shaowu, and Yongli.

With so many major projects, if a capable and honest official is not found to take charge, then Zhu and Qi will have to spend a lot of money.

In addition, Yu Chenglong and Aoi went to fight together at the front station where Zhu Hexi stayed in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

Because Zhu Heqi has not yet restored the eunuch system, the affairs of the court can only be managed by female officials and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhu Heqi nodded, and asked again: "Are the celebration banquets and rewards for the soldiers ready?"

Rewards for meritorious deeds are a must!

Although Zhu Heqi's army has a rudimentary form of citizen conscripts, the treatment and rewards that should be given are not lacking at all.

Otherwise, how could his army be so energetic?
