Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 115 Guangzhou changes hands
What is the trend?

To put it bluntly, it is confidence.

As long as everyone believes that you can achieve something, then you will naturally have a great trend.

And if you want to shape the general trend, the simplest and most effective way is to win!
As long as you can continue to win, people will naturally choose to follow you.

As Ming army reinforcements also entered Guangzhou City, the battle situation in Guangzhou City began to gradually determine the winner.

The original defenders of Guangzhou, the Eight Banners under Altai, and Jin Rong's bid were directly suppressed in the governor's office area.

There is no way to fight back!

When the Tiandihui rebels saw the Ming army's reinforcements arriving, their morale was instantly boosted, and every soldier couldn't help but raise their arms and shout.

"Long live Daming!"

"Long live Daming!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the Governor!"

"..."

When Fang Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

Turning around to ask Li Mudao.

"Li Shangshu, the governor is here now?"

"Should I go out of the city to meet you now?"

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"do not know."

"I stayed with the hall master the whole time. Wherever I go, I don't know who is coming."

"However, in my opinion, there is no need for us to rush to see the Governor. We should hurry up and finish the things in front of us and completely capture the outer city of Guangzhou before talking about anything else."

When Fang Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and he smiled and said to many senior officials of the Heaven and Earth Society around him.

"Have all the brothers seen it?"

"The Ming Dynasty's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Instruct the entire army to immediately launch a general attack on the governor's Yamen. We must capture the governor's Yamen at all costs."

"We can't let our brothers in the Ming Army underestimate us!"

Upon hearing this, many senior leaders of the Tiandihui showed excitement and responded with clasped fists.

"Here! I'll understand later!"

Seeing this, Fang Yuan continued.

"In that case, let's all go!"

Now he can really see the hope of success in fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

……

Outside Guangzhou!

The Ming army rushed all the way and arrived at the gate of Guangzhou city covered with dust.

Zhu Jing'an was riding on horseback, with a look of fatigue on his face.

He raised his telescope and looked at the tall and majestic city wall in the distance. What burned in his eyes was the flame called ambition.

From today on, Guangzhou, the first city in the south, belongs to him!

If Guangzhou could be captured, then the first step of his grand strategy of countering the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty would be considered a success.

The rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty now has real hope of success, and is no longer just a delusion.

"Report! Report to the Governor!"

A messenger rushed over, rushed all the way to Zhu Jing'an, and bowed down.

"Report to the Grand Governor that our troops entering the city are in contact with the Tiandihui rebels. Both sides are preparing to capture the governor's office and report their victory to the Grand Governor."

Seeing this, Zhu Jing'an cheered up and nodded.

"good very good!"

"Send the order and immediately send troops into the city to control the city defense of Guangzhou."

"Then send troops to take down those city gates that are still under the control of the Qing army, and cooperate with the Tiandihui rebels to completely control the entire outer city of Guangzhou."

"After taking control of the outer city of Guangzhou, the leader of the Tiandi Hui rebels came to meet him!"

When the ordering soldiers heard this, they clasped their fists and left.

Zhu Jing'an sat on the horse, stretched, and then spoke to the generals.

"Now that Guangzhou is under my control, both Guangdong and Guangxi will be included in my favor!"

"I want to tell everyone in the world that I, Ming Dynasty, am back again!"

Upon hearing this, the generals responded one after another.

"The Commander-in-Chief is wise, I will admire him!"

Zhu Jing'an looked at Guangzhou again, thinking about Daming's next move.

……

Boom!Boom!
The roar of heavy artillery was the accompaniment, and what followed was the piercing charge horn of the Ming army.

Cannonballs fell towards the towering city wall.

The cannonballs hit the city wall, causing destruction wherever the projectiles passed.

Bricks and pieces of masonry burst out, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Looking at the dark Ming army outside the city, looking at the bright banners, these green soldiers who had been able to fight with the Tiandihui rebels before.

Immediately showed everyone what it means to be defeated like a mountain!
Facing the Ming army, these green soldiers couldn't muster the courage to resist at all, and they collapsed immediately.

Amid the sound of charge, the Ming army quickly captured the city wall of Guangzhou's outer city.

Those green camp soldiers who resisted were also killed on the spot.

Soon, the several city walls in the outer city of Guangzhou that were still under the control of the Qing army were captured by the Ming army.

The Ming army completely controlled the access to and from the outer city of Guangzhou!

After taking control of the outer city wall, the main force of the Ming army began to advance into Guangzhou.

Field artillery pieces were dragged into the city by horses, ready to be transported to the front line for use in attacking the governor's office.

With the assistance of the Tiandihui rebels, the Ming army's artillery was soon pushed to the preset position, and the gunners began to skillfully calculate the shooting points of the artillery.

"Everyone has it, prepare for bombardment!"

"Three rounds of rapid fire, let go!"

After the gunners had finished loading, the Ming army officer in charge immediately gave the order to fire.

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!

For a moment, the deafening sound of shelling echoed across the battlefield.

After three rounds of shelling, the battlefield was filled with thick smoke.

As soon as the artillery fire from the Ming army fell, they saw the rebels from the Tiandihui marching towards the governor's Yamen, shouting to kill.

Fighting with the Qing army who was stunned by the shelling!
Originally, Zhu Jing'an meant that since the army had arrived, the Ming army would take over the war, and the Tiandihui rebels could retreat to repair.

However, Fang Yuan rejected Zhu Jing'an's kindness and was only willing to accept fire support from the Ming Dynasty, rather than letting the Ming army participate in the attack on the outer city of Guangzhou.

Because he wanted to dedicate a complete outer city of Guangzhou to the Ming Dynasty as his certificate of surrender.

Instead of being neither good nor bad like now, it seriously affected the quality of his certificate of nomination.

You said he captured the city of Guangzhou, right?

Obviously not. Haven't you seen that the governor's office and the inner city are still resisting?

But you said he didn't capture the city of Guangzhou, right?
It's not true either.

At the very least, the Tiandihui rebels opened the way for the Ming army to enter the city.

Without the Tiandihui rebels, the Ming army would not be as easy as it is now if they want to enter Guangzhou City.

Guangzhou's towering city walls, wide moat, and city defense measures inside and outside Guangzhou alone were enough to feed the Ming army.

Therefore, Fang Yuan now has meritorious service, but his contribution is not as great as imagined.

It made him very embarrassed!
Therefore, Fang Yuan did not want the Ming army to participate in the war in Guangzhou City and compete with him for credit.

Zhu Jing'an naturally would not refuse this.

How should I put it? In order to reinforce Guangzhou, the Ming army rushed all the way through the starry night.

The whole army is very tired now!

Since the Tiandihui rebels want to perform, it doesn't hurt to give them a chance to perform.It just so happened that the Ming army could have time to repair it.

If the rebels of the Tiandihui are really unable to defeat them, it won't be too late for the Ming army to come on stage again.

……

After receiving artillery support from the Ming army, the morale of the Tiandihui rebels was greatly boosted and they launched a fierce offensive towards the governor's Yamen.

For a time, the suppressed Qing troops in the governor's Yamen couldn't even lift their heads.

In the governor's office, Wen Tai, the governor of Guangdong, Jin Rong, the admiral of Guangdong, and Altai, deputy commander of the Eight Banners of Guangzhou, all looked solemn.

It's so gloomy that water can drip from it!

"The thief has arrived in Guangzhou, what should I do next?"

"Is there a way to defeat the enemy?"

Wen Tai asked. While speaking, he kept pacing in the lobby, looking outside from time to time, as if he was afraid that a thief would break in.

Altai held the helmet in his arms and said with a solemn expression.

"The only way before us now is to retreat into Mancheng, Guangzhou, and hold on with the city walls of Manchuria."

"Waiting for the imperial envoy to lead his army to come for reinforcements!"

It is no secret that the imperial envoy Fulong'an arrived in Hunan and mobilized troops from several southwestern provinces in Yongzhou to prepare for the suppression of Ming thieves in Guangdong and Guangdong.

Not to mention the senior officials of the Qing army, in fact, the Ming Dynasty was also well aware of this news.

In Altai's view, as long as he and others hold on until the imperial envoy leads a large army to help, Guangzhou can still be saved.

Hearing this, Jin Rong nodded.

"As of now, there is only one way!"

The bid under his hand has now changed its color, and has been psychologically shadowed.

It would be okay if you just hit a dozen or so bandits.

If the Ming thief also ends up, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

The Guangdong feudal lords, Nie Tai and others on the side also nodded in approval.

As for how long the whole city of Guangzhou can hold on now that the outer cities of Guangzhou have been captured, this issue has been collectively ignored by them.

In other words, the current Qing army in Guangzhou only has the life-saving straw of retreating to Mancheng.

No one would open their eyes and throw away this last life-saving straw.

See it through without telling it!

Although we have to die early or late, living a little longer counts as a little while.

……

Wen Tai, Jin Rong and other senior officials made up their minds.

The Qing troops stationed at the governor's Yamen began to withdraw towards Mancheng.

But how could Zhu Jing'an make them happy?

Send troops immediately to intercept!

After seeing the Ming army intercepting them, the Qing army, which had been able to retreat in an orderly manner under the attack of the Tiandihui rebels, collapsed instantly.

Start swarming towards Mancheng and flee!

At Altai's call, the originally closed city gates opened wide, and Altai swarmed in with the Eight Banners under his command.

After the Eight Banners entered the city, Dahai, the counselor in charge of city defense, originally wanted to order the city gates to be closed.

However, it is already too late!
Green camp soldiers followed closely and poured into the city.

Under the impact of the flow of people, all the city gates could not be closed at all.

Behind the green battalion soldiers, the Ming army and the Tiandihui rebel army followed closely, and rushed into the inner city in one breath.

Almost none of the methods arranged by Jin Rong and others to block the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from following the Qing army into the city were used.

Because almost all of the Qing troops assigned to block the attack collapsed as soon as they came into contact with the Ming army.

They are on the verge of collapse and cannot play their due role at all.

A large number of Ming troops rushed into the city of Guangzhou!
When the Eight Banners soldiers in the city saw this, many of them immediately turned red-eyed and rushed forward to fight the Ming army and drive the Ming army out of the city again.

However, it was already too late. As more and more Ming soldiers entered the city, the resistance of the Eight Banners soldiers was just a small wave in the sea.

In the blink of an eye, he was suppressed by the Ming army!
After all, the current Ming Army is different from the Taiping Army. There is no precedent for an organized system to trap and kill the surrendered Manchus.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded Nanjing, the Eight Banners were able to resist desperately because the Taiping Army was really bad in the eyes of the Eight Banners.

Tu Man's policies have been implemented very well.

The Eight Banners soldiers knew that even if they surrendered, there would be no way to survive.

Therefore, we can risk our lives.

But the current situation is different. Facing the Ming army, which has no precedent of killing Manchu prisoners, it is difficult for the Eight Banners to muster the courage to fight desperately.

They almost collapsed at the first touch, and their performance was worse than that of the Green Camp soldiers.

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"..."

Soon, the cheers of the Ming army officers and soldiers rang out in the city of Guangzhou.

Zhu Jing'an also received the news.

Guangzhou, won!

Now the entire Guangzhou, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, has completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army.

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hahahaha!"

"Victory! Victory! Our army has won!"

"Quick, arrange manpower immediately, use flying pigeons to pass messages, and report the victory to Guangxi!"

Zhu Jing'an suppressed his excitement.

The change of hands in Guangzhou City, to a certain extent, can be regarded as a change in the fate of Guangdong and Guangxi.

And the Ming Dynasty is really about to be restored!

"Instruct the army to immediately start cleaning up the order in Guangzhou City, post notices to calm the people, control the military discipline of the army, and strictly prohibit actions that disturb the people and harm the people."

"Send someone to invite the leader of the Tiandihui rebel army. The governor will personally receive him."

Zhu Jing'an's face was filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed, and he looked quite high-spirited.

……

Not long after, Fang Yuan and other senior officials of the Heaven and Earth Society, as well as Li Mu, were brought to Zhu Jing'an.

Li Mu was the first to take a few steps forward and salute.

"The next official pays homage to the governor!"

Seeing this, Fang Yuan and others also stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Jing'an, and said in unison.

"The next official pays homage to the governor!"

Seeing this, Zhu Jing'an laughed loudly and strode forward to help him.

"Hahaha, no courtesy, no courtesy!"

"You all are the greatest contributors to our Ming Dynasty's ability to capture Guangzhou in this battle. There is no need to be polite in front of this governor."

As he spoke, he helped Li Mu and Fang Yuan up with one hand and the other.

A heartfelt smile on his face.

"This battle is all due to the command of the commander-in-chief. The soldiers fought bravely and bravely, but in the end the generals did not dare to take credit."

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, he just nodded slightly.

"Gong is merit, and mistakes are mistakes. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. How can you not dare to take credit?"

"No matter what reward Hall Master Fang wants, I will report it to my father for you."

When Fang Yuan heard this, he just shook his head.

"Resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is the long-cherished wish of our Tiandihui brothers, and it is also the teachings passed down from generation to generation."

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has risen and it is necessary to reshape China, we should join in our service. I do not ask for rewards. I only hope to follow the governor and contribute to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and the revival of the Ming Dynasty."
