This meeting started at the beginning of the day and lasted until the end of the day.
During this period, orders and letters came out from Wenyuan Pavilion one after another, and a famous soldier mounted a horse and galloped away, and everyone started to move.
On April 3, all border exchanges were closed, the gates of all border towns were closed, and going out was strictly prohibited.
The official road was blocked, and those who had no way to guide them were all thrown into prison.
On the same day, Yao Qiankun, a member of the Yulei Camp, led a thousand Yulei sergeants and a thousand heavy troops to leave Longjing Pass quietly.
On April 6, in front of the port of the Nanhai Navy Fleet stationed in Kinmen, Yu Zigao, the commander-in-chief of the Nanhai Navy Marine Corps, felt very emotional as he looked at the warships with sails like clouds and sails thousands of miles away.
It's good to have money. In more than a year, he used the money to build a navy with thousands of warships and a powerful fighting force.
Zheng Zhilong stood on the high platform and pulled out his long sword with a clang: "Brothers, we have worked hard day and night. We have been exposed to wind and sun on this sea for more than a year. The time has come for the imperial court to test us.
This battle is won, you just have to kill the enemy bravely, and leave the rest to the general. If we are all alive, we will be waiting for you with titles, generals, high officials and generous salaries.
If you unfortunately die in battle, in addition to the court's pension, I will also take care of your descendants, don't worry! "
"kill!"
"kill!"
"war!"
"war!"
The soldiers of the Nanhai Navy waved their firecrackers, light knives, spears, etc., and roared at the top of their lungs.
The Nanhai Navy has more than 1,300 warships, including hundreds of light fire dragon ships, chain ships, eagle ships, and red dragon ships, no less than 200 medium-sized Haicang ships, Cangshan ships, and two mother-child ships. Ten boats, fifty centipede boats, dozens of battle boats, patrol boats, etc.
In addition, there are eight 36-meter-long Fuchuan and 25 three-masted gunboats, each equipped with eight Hongyi cannons and forty Fran cannons.
The Nanhai Navy has such a strong combat power that it can easily crush any maritime fleet. This is the reason for their roar.
"Come aboard!"
After roaring for a while, Zheng Zhilong shouted loudly, waved his hands, and the generals headed towards their respective warships.
After issuing the military order, Zheng Zhilong turned around and looked at the generals wearing armor behind him, and clasped his fists: "Thank you all for coming to see me off. Let's have a drink and talk after I come back!"
"General Zheng, after you return, I'm afraid I'm going to call you General Zheng!"
"Thank you for your kind words from General Yu!"
Zheng Zhilong clasped his fists towards Yu Zigao and said with a solemn expression: "General Yu, the pirates of Shibazhi have not been completely cleaned up, and the Dutch East India Company is also looking for opportunities. I will take away the warship this time. You must guard against them." Harassment and revenge!”
"Don't worry, we are not as good as your navy in naval battles, but we are not a little bit better than you in land battles. As long as they dare to go ashore, they will never come back!"
As long as they dare to invade, when you come back, we will work together to destroy their lair! "
"It's best, then the general will leave!"
"Triumph!"
"General Zheng, kill a few more enemies for us!"
"Come back and buy you a drink!"
After a simple courtesy, Zheng Zhilong led many generals of the Nanhai Navy to board the warship, and amid the sound of eighteen thunderous cannons, they slowly left the port and sailed into the vast sea.
On the lucky boat in the middle of the fleet, Zheng Zhilong stood leaning on the railing, feeling the sea breeze blowing, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
A young man behind him had a worried look on his face and said doubtfully: "Brother Long, although Fusang is not big, our Nanhai Navy is well-equipped and our soldiers are not afraid of battle, but attacking Fusang seems to be a bit difficult!"
"This is both true and false!"
Zheng Zhilong glanced at the young man behind him: "We are going to attack Fuso, but not Fuso itself, but Fuso's Fuso warships in the Korean Strait, and sink them all."
"Warships in the Korean Strait? Why..."
"Don't ask so many questions. Act according to the military orders and ask brothers to take it seriously. After this battle is over, I might really become the commander-in-chief. You have also been promoted to the rank. You should be rewarded after investing so much!"
Zheng Zhilong chuckled, very satisfied.
At the same time, Sun Zushou, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, led 20,000 elite troops. Two men, Hu Dawei and Fierce as a Tiger, led 3,000 Hexi iron cavalry to the valley in front of Longjing Pass.
The mountain is still the same mountain, but the trees are much sparser. Just because a year and a half ago, the imperial court surrounded and killed the slave-building coalition forces that broke through the border. The trees on the surrounding mountains were cut down and the corpses were burned.
There is a huge mausoleum on the side of the mountain. In front of the tomb stands a huge monument with a height of 11 meters.
Yes, this giant monument is the monument to the soldiers who died in Longjingguan. Why is it 11 meters high? Because 110,000 soldiers died here.
On the stone table in front of the giant monument, three animals and five animals were enshrined. There were traces of burning wax paper cannons everywhere. It could be seen that there were people who often came here to worship.
Sun Zushou lit three standing incense sticks as thick as his thumb and one meter long and inserted them into the incense burner, and the green smoke rose.
"Brothers, the day of revenge has come, just wait!"
After saying this, Sun Zushou turned to look at the soldiers who were going on the expedition, and roared: "My soldiers, go out and wash away our shame with the blood of Jiannu and Mongolian tribes. The soldiers who died in the battle and the innocent massacres The common people take revenge!"
…
In Xuanfu Town, thousands of miles away, General Man Gui led an army of 20,000 people to leave Xuanfu with baggage and entered the vast grassland. Three thousand Guanning cavalry led by He Kegang accompanied them.
The deployment of various armies was not noticed by ordinary people, and life continued as usual.
More than ten days passed, and finally it was April 18th when everything was going well.
Outside Desheng Gate, military flags were flying, and phalanxes stood in rows. Each sergeant was holding a bowl, but the food in the bowl was of several colors, which made all the sergeants very strange.
Chongzhen stood on the general ordering platform and looked at the soldiers: "Fellow soldiers, today's rice has a great origin. It is rice donated by people from all over the Ming Dynasty, and then it was urgently transported to Beijing.
Baijiami is rice of merit, but there are at least tens of thousands of families here, so this rice contains the blessings and prayers of the people of the Ming Dynasty for us, and it is also full of the expectations of the people of the Ming Dynasty for us, hoping that we will destroy the foreign enemies.
After eating the food made from these hundreds of rice, we will be invincible.
After this battle, the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and the people will live in peace and contentment. Whether they can make great achievements and get even more silver rewards depends on this battle.
Moreover, people from all over the country, wealthy merchants and gentry have donated almost four million taels of silver. I will not transport this silver into the national treasury. After the war is won, all of it will be rewarded to you. This is a silver reward in addition to the silver reward from the imperial court. You must catch it Take the chance.
I will not disturb you all. After eating, you will go out with me to destroy Jiannu. After returning to Beijing, I will reward the three armies. You will not return until you are drunk! "
The sergeants' eyes were red. This was the first time they were blessed by the people, and in this way.
There is also an extra silver reward. Even if some of the fierce men's rewards are deducted, it is estimated that each of them can get five or six taels of silver, which is equivalent to their four months' salary.
The soldiers swallowed big mouthfuls, but not a grain of rice fell out, like rare immortals.
After getting off the general platform, Chongzhen also took a bowl of Baijiami rice and ate it slowly. Half an hour later, after the meal was finished, everything was put away, and Yuan Keli came to report.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready and ready to go at any time!"
