Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

For the Qing court, it wanted to cross the Yangtze River.

The two best rivers were naturally the Canal and the Han River.

The most far-reaching examples of the northern regime's attack on the south of the Yangtze River were Boss Cao, who captured Xiangyang and prepared his army to cross the river; and Emperor Ming of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's battle to destroy Chen.

This is why the geographical locations of Xiangyang and Xuzhou are so important.

Because the northern regime captured this place, it was able to take advantage of the natural river conditions and accumulate enough warships.

Then relying on their numerical advantage, they broke through Jiangnan's defense line in one fell swoop.

This is a river-crossing plan that already has a successful case and can be used as a template.

The most undesirable thing is to set up a shipyard on the north bank of the Yangtze River to build ships to cross the river.

Because of this, the Jiangnan regime will have a fixed target at its doorstep—there are not enough people to fill it in!

The widest part of the Yangtze River is only about ten miles (not counting the entrance to the sea).

The shipyard is dead and cannot be moved.

But the battleship is alive and can change its position at any time.

The initiative to attack lies with the Jiangnan regime.

If Dorgon really wanted to do this, the Jiangnan court would have the right to launch a surprise attack anytime and anywhere.

Whether it is a night attack and burning of the shipyard, or a battleship conflict, it is beneficial to Jiangnan and harmful to Jiangbei.

Originally, it was a very simple matter for the Qing army to cross the river.

During the Battle of Yangzhou, the Qing army already had nearly [-] warships in their hands!

Unfortunately……

As soon as Chu Xianzhang took action, the panicked Nanming Army found its backbone.

The Yongwei battalion was chasing the Qing army, but they didn't even take action against the fleet!

Dorgon's ship was taken back by the Nanming army.

Dorgon hates him!

Without the intervention of Zhu Youjian, Donglin, Fushe, and their relationship with the Qing Dynasty, let alone building ships to cross the river——

Donglin's "Zhongzheng" can jump into the water and carry the Qing army uncle to the south of the Yangtze River!

however……

During the Battle of Yangzhou, the salt merchant who helped the Qing army break through was uprooted by Zhu Youjian - there was no one alive among the nine tribes!

This cruel scene made Donglin return to society, and he no longer dared to openly support them.

No matter how Dorgon threatens or promises...

The group of people still shook their heads like rattles.

Just tell him that they will secretly destroy the Nanming defense line and prevent the Qing army from crossing the river and being attacked by the Nanming army.

As for welcoming the driver...

The muzzle of Fang Zhenghua's cannon was pointed at the entire city of Nanjing!

Who dares to move?

If you really think that Fang Zhenghua will not kill anyone!

Of the heads hanging on the city gates of Nanjing, only the skeleton remains, and no one has dared to take them down yet!

Fang Zhenghua's "Business Guards" are more powerful than Nanming's most elite army. Who dares to touch Fang Zhenghua's bad luck?

It's not that no one thought about switching families and joining the Yongsheng court.

It's a pity that the filthy "eunuch" who surrendered to Founder - "Zhongzheng" looked down upon him.

Want to take refuge in Zhu Youjian - Zhu Youjian doesn't want them!

Years ago, Li Yan even captured hundreds of them in one fell swoop!

Zhu Youjian's attitude is already public...

In addition, the "gentleman" of Donglin Fushe also wanted to usurp the government and started his own business.

Such internal and external contradictions make the "righteous masters" of Donglin and Fushe have to go one way to the end.

But the most fundamental reason is-Dorgon gave a lot!

Donglin and Fushe did not dare to meet them. If the Qing army wanted to go south, they needed enough ships.

In other words - if Dorgon wants to cross the river, he must first find a river that can be used as a shipbuilding base!

however……

Today, the most suitable places as shipbuilding bases are in the hands of Emperor Yongsheng.

The Qing Dynasty only had two and a half mansions in its hands.

Dorgon had no right to choose. He could only use Qingliushui and Niutun Rivers, which could only carry fifty-stone boats, as the shipbuilding base of the Qing Dynasty.

In just half a year, Dorgon built the ship...

But three times in a row, Hao Yaoqi was blasted to pieces...

In order to guard against Hao Yaoqi's battleship, Dorgon had no choice but to take Fan Wencheng's suggestion——

"Spread rumors, build stupid villages, and fight stupid wars!"

Through three battles, Fan Wencheng grasped the fatal flaw of the Ming army.

The Ming army's artillery used explosive ammunition, and the ammunition needed to be transported from Handu, two thousand miles away.

Even the transport ships of the Ming army were steam engines that spewed black smoke.

However, a round trip of four to five thousand miles would take at least seven or eight days.

Therefore, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to cross the Yangtze River, it only needed to dig a few trenches three hundred miles in length along the Yangtze River.

As long as the construction of this thing is completed, it will be very difficult for the Ming army to investigate the actual situation of their shipyard.

Then, around the shipyard, ship models were built, and fake things were used to fool the Ming army and consume their ammunition.

If they cooperate well and take advantage of the time difference between the Ming army's transportation of ammunition, they can complete the crossing of the river.

Fan Wencheng made it very clear that as a result, the death toll of the Qing army would rise sharply.

This is the last resort.

However, Dorgon had no choice.

Emperor Yongsheng attacked the Qing army from north to south along the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. If he didn't make a decision and Zhu Youjian really started to attack, the Qing Dynasty would be over!

Dorgon knew that Zhu Youjian used him as a knife...

But he had to cooperate!

Because - to be a dog, you must have the consciousness of a dog.

This is how "We Huangqing" started.

Why don’t you know how to make a good dog?

Dorgon had no choice but to take Fan Wencheng's advice.

The father and regent of the Qing Dynasty looked at the huge battle damage in the past six months, and his heart was bleeding.

Fortunately, he is about to succeed!

Just last night, he used a fake boat to fool Hao Yaoqi, a giant boat swimming in the Yangtze River, and fired all the cannonballs.

And this morning, he once again made the illusion of going south to cross the river!

And Hao Yaoqi was fooled again!

"Hahahaha!"

Watching his men being blown away one by one, they turned into wreckage before they even hit the ground.

Dorgon laughed loudly!

Qing--

It will soon occupy the two important places of South Zhili and Zhejiang!

As long as these two extremely wealthy places are captured, the Qing Dynasty will not fail!

It doesn't matter if a few people die!

With these two richest places in the world, by then, even if the Qing Dynasty cannot occupy half of Jiangnan, it will still be able to hold the most important Jiangnan!

As long as the Aixinjueluo family can be stable, as long as the Aixinjueluo family can be prosperous and wealthy...

——Even if the whole world dies, it’s still worth it!

"Come on!

Send the order and tell all the men on the front lines to give me a good beating!

All the cannonballs on these two large ships must be consumed!

Tonight, we start crossing the river~! "

"Tell them that as long as they cross the river, they will not be sealed for a month!

The money that is stolen belongs to whoever, and the lonely king does not want a single copper! "
