The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

After a long time, Kangxi on the dragon throne said:

"Draft an order to mobilize the Eight Banners garrison in Jiangning, Jingkou, and Hangzhou, as well as the Liangjiang Governor-General and the Green Camp of Zhejiang Province to quickly move towards Fuzhou."

"Confess Jiangning General Bo Ji as the General of the Ming Dynasty to control all armies."

"In addition, the Governor of Liangjiang, Borata, was ordered to supervise the construction of naval warships in Jiangning and establish the Yangtze River Navy, which will be temporarily led by Borata."

"The establishment of the Guangdong Navy was restored, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shi Lin, was ordered to supervise the construction of naval warships. The post of naval admiral was tentatively appointed."

"The Imperial Guard Eight Banners Navy was established, stationed at Dagukou, and Xi Dian, the governor of Zhili, was responsible for supervising the construction of warships!"

In order to kill the Ming army that suddenly appeared, and to prevent Fuzhou City from turning into Haicheng City, Brother Kang Xi spent a lot of money this time.

The Liangjiang Governor-General governs the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and has 6 banner soldiers and more than 9 green battalion soldiers. The Fujian and Zhejiang Governor-General governs Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, with [-] banner soldiers and more than [-] green battalion soldiers.

Even if Shi Lang's troops were eliminated, the combined strength of the Qing army still exceeded 15!

15 Qing troops faced off against 4 Ming troops. For Kangxi, this seemed to be another "I have the advantage" situation.

But, that's not how it works out.

Although the Qing army has a large number of troops, in modern war, whoever has more people has a greater chance of winning.

Moreover, the Qing army seemed to have 15 troops, but they were actually distributed among five provinces.

Due to the different distances, the time of arrival in Fuzhou is also different.

In fact, what the Ming army currently has to face is the more than 4 Qing troops in Fuzhou. As for reinforcements from various provinces?

This is like the gourd baby saving grandpa and sending him one by one.

If Kangxi also had black technology like radio, the Qing army would not be in the current situation.

Unfortunately, he didn't~

In addition, due to the annihilation of the Fujian Navy, Kangxi discovered that the mighty Qing Dynasty no longer had a capable naval fleet!

The three Eight Banners Naval Battalions in the Northeast?Not worth the use!

Jingzhou Naval Camp in Wuhan?That’s only 34 boats in total!

Zhaoqing Naval Camp in Guangdong?

Not to mention that the fleet only had 28 ships in total. Given the original case of the Guangdong Navy's abolition, Kangxi doubted whether this naval battalion could be used.

Moreover, there is a world of difference in strength between the navy battalion and the navy.

The highest officer of the naval battalion is the third-grade commander-in-chief, who has jurisdiction over thousands of soldiers and dozens of warships.The highest officer of the navy is a first-grade admiral, with command over tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships.

The strongest Fujian naval forces have already sunk into the sea to feed the fishes, so what can the remaining crooked melons and jujubes do?

Only then did Kangxi realize that the remnants of the Ming Dynasty had become a reality. Even if the Ming army failed in the land war, they could calmly withdraw to Taiwan, while the Qing army could only watch.

Therefore, Kangxi ordered the establishment of three new naval forces.

But a ship cannot be built in a day or two, and naval officers and soldiers cannot be trained in a short time.

Army soldiers randomly grab some strong men, give them a knife and a gun and dare to push them on the battlefield, but in the case of the Navy, it is impossible to improvise.

……

When the messengers carrying Kangxi's order to assemble an army to increase troops in Fujian had just set off, the Ming Royal Navy fleet, together with a landing force of an infantry brigade, had already appeared at the mouth of the Min River.

"Dang, Dang, Dang..." The rapid warning bell echoed along the coast of the Minjiang River estuary.

Looking at the overwhelming sails on the sea, the Qing soldiers on the observation deck had frightened eyes and beat the bronze bell frantically.

The coastal defense artillerymen of the Qing army stationed in various forts also rushed out of the barracks when they heard the bell and jumped to their respective fighting positions.

However, unlike the forts along the Xiamen coast, the Fuzhou coastal forts are far inferior to Xiamen in terms of number and artillery caliber.

Xiamen is the base camp of the Fujian Navy, and Shi Lang's troops were derived from the Ming army, so they are equipped with a large number of heavy artillery.

But what about Fuzhou?

There is only one Han navy camp with more than a dozen ships in Fuzhou, and the famous Mawei shipyard in later generations now has no hair at all. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty has not deployed a large number of heavy artillery here, and there are only a few left by the Ming Dynasty. Thousand-pound cannons and some small and medium-sized artillery pieces.

In fact, Kangxi still attached great importance to the development of firearms, but this firearm single-finger artillery did not include muskets.

Moreover, Kangxi did not allow local casting of heavy artillery. Heavy artillery could only be made by the central government. All the heavy artillery made were equipped to the Eight Banners soldiers and deployed in Zhili to defend the capital.

The local army could only build some light artillery and use artillery left over from the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, Fuzhou's coastal defense line was broken like tissue paper.

"Woooooooo..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The flames of the explosion rose across the forts of the Qing army.

Amidst the desperate screams, a large number of broken limbs and arms were blown up into the air by the air waves.

"Hurry up and fire! Counterattack! Counterattack!"

The embarrassed Qing army officer looked at the Ming army warships that kept spitting flames on the sea and roared crazily.

"Sir, we can't reach it! Our cannon can't hit that far!"

A Qing soldier responded with a slight cry.

The longest range of various types of artillery equipped by the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty can reach 3 kilometers.However, few of the Qing's coastal defense artillery could penetrate 3 miles.

As a result, the attack on the Qing army's forts became a unilateral target training exercise for the Ming army fleet.

Of course, in order to increase the hit rate of artillery fire, it was naturally impossible for the Ming army to extend the artillery fire distance to the maximum artillery range.

The sea surface was undulating and the ship was swaying constantly. If the cannon was fired from such a distance, God knows where the cannonballs could fly.

So Xie Xingsheng ordered the fleet to be stuck outside the critical point of the Qing army's artillery limit range and bombard the Qing army's forts.

Although the hit rate of the Ming fleet's artillery attack was still not high at such a distance, the use of area-killing explosive shells still destroyed the Qing army's fort garrisons.

Under the bursting shrapnel, the Qing army's casualties continued to increase, but they could only watch the shells they fired falling in front of the Ming army's warships, causing large splashes of water.

With just a small distance, they could hit the Ming warships, but even that small distance turned into an insurmountable chasm.

Amidst the roar of cannons and the desperate wails of the Qing defenders, the Qing forts along the coast of Fuzhou were torn out one after another.

……

Relying on carrier pigeons to deliver news, the Qing officials in Fuzhou City soon learned of the Ming Navy's attack.

"What can we do? The Ming army's warships are strong and powerful, and they will soon be able to move up the river and approach Fuzhou City! What can we do?"

In the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Zhongju was anxious about the news.

Of course, he was not the only one who was anxious. None of the Qing officials and generals in the conference hall had a good look on their faces.

After all, the coastal defense force and the Haicheng and Fujian Navy, which were far stronger than Fuzhou, were destroyed by the Ming Navy. How could they stop the Ming Navy?

At this time, Hu Qiyuan, who was standing aside in deep thought, finally spoke.

"The forts at the entrance to the sea cannot stop the Ming Navy, and our Han Navy camp is no match for the Ming Navy. In this case, there is only one plan."

Hearing that Hu Qiyuan had a plan, everyone in the meeting hall looked at him.

Zhang Zhongju also asked anxiously: "What good plan does General Hu have?"

Hu Qiyuan glanced at everyone in the room and said calmly:

"Sink the ship and seal the river!"
