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

Chapter 227 Source of Legal System
After the defeat in the battle of Baohua Town, Chang Qing lost Qixia Mountain, so he led his troops to retreat to Tangshan.

But then under the Ming army's offensive, Tangshan quickly fell.

Chang Qing's troops wanted to evacuate Tangshan. Not long after they came down the mountain, they were annihilated at the foot of Tangshan by the Ming army cavalry who followed.

Afterwards, the Ming army began to concentrate its forces and launch an attack on Fangshan.

As a result, Fangshan could not hold out for long under the Ming army and declared its fall.

Finally, there is Niushou Mountain, which is the most heavily defended by the Qing army!

……

On Zhongshan Mountain, looking at the densely packed Ming army soldiers and horses at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Shu Hede and Gao Jin had solemn expressions on their faces.

Because, after the Ming army arrived at the foot of Zhongshan, they did not attack Zhongshan immediately.

But just a siege!
This is really not good news for Shu Hede and Gao Jin.

How should I put it? Since the Ming army did not use its main force in Zhongshan, it must have been used elsewhere.

And other places are nothing more than Niushou Mountain, Fangshan and other places!
In an instant, the two of them realized that the Ming thief was trying to defeat them one by one!

As more and more troops gathered at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, the expressions on the faces of Shu Hede and Gao Jin gradually became uglier than their dead parents.

"The main force of the Ming army gathered at Zhongshan, and the battle situation at Niushou Mountain and Fangshan..."

Surrounded by his personal guards, Gao Jin looked at the Ming army at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and said with an unusually solemn expression.

Shu Hed took a deep breath, looked equally solemn, and just spoke.

"Chatai, Chongchun and other departments may be in trouble!"

"And Changqing's side..."

The two looked at each other, and what caught their eyes was a bitter face.

……

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince that our army successfully captured Tangshan and annihilated the Qing Dynasty Governor-General of Minzhe and Zhejiang Provinces!"

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, Fangshan is coming down, General Jiangning of the Qing Dynasty Chongchun will confer the title of head!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, our army successfully captured Niushou Mountain, and the Qing Dynasty's Xishan Jianrui Camp Commander Taima fled north..."

One after another good news continued to reach Zhu Jing'an's ears.

The expression on Zhu Jing'an's face has always been relatively calm.

It wasn't until he heard the news that Chatai, the commander of Xishan Jianrui Camp, had escaped again did a trace of surprise appear on his face.

"Running away again? This kid is so slippery!"

In the battle of Changsha, Chatai ran away!
In the Battle of Yuezhou, Chatai ran away again!

In the Battle of Nanjing, both Chatai and Chatai escaped!

Good boy, is this a way to gain experience by running away?

Narrowing his eyes, Zhu Jing'an spoke.

"A defeated general can just run away, it won't change the overall situation!"

"Send the order, gather the troops, prepare to launch an offensive on Zhongshan, and take back the tomb of Emperor Taizu!"

When Zhu Jing'an finished speaking, all the generals of the Ming army responded in unison.

Immediately, everyone shouted together.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Ming Dynasty Wan Sheng!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

"..."

……

Listen to the Ming army at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain shouting in unison.

There was a very obvious look of fear on the faces of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty Army in Zhongshan.

The reason is simple. Jiangning's battle situation is now very clear.

The Qing Dynasty was completely defeated, and there was no possibility of a reversal!
If that's the case, what's the difference between people like them continuing to resist on Zhongshan Mountain and waiting to die?
Gao Jin stood up, stood in front of the Qing army, glanced around, and said.

"Soldiers, the world is now in turmoil and Jiangning has fallen. We, the bannermen and our nation, have no way out!"

As Jiangning's outer city and inner city were successively destroyed, the Green Camp soldiers had already fled.

Still remaining on Zhongshan Mountain are basically the Eight Banners who are die-hard loyalists of the Qing Dynasty.

But even so, after hearing Gao Jin's words, these people's faces were inevitably filled with hesitation and helplessness.

Seeing this, Gao Jin glanced around and then continued.

"Let's put it bluntly, Jiangning City has become a place of death for us and other bannermen."

"We are huddled on top of Zhongshan Mountain, just closing our eyes and waiting to die!"

Upon hearing this, the morale of the Qing army was obviously even lower.

However, Gao Jin's tone suddenly changed and he spoke.

"But are you really willing? Are you willing to have Jiangning City, where our ancestors live, taken away by the thieves? Are you willing to have the family property accumulated by our ancestors confiscated by the thieves? Are you willing to have your wives, daughters, and sisters be stolen by the thieves?" To be robbed and humiliated? To be a slave and a concubine!"

"Are you really willing to do so?!"

After Gao Jin finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding Qing soldiers changed significantly.

Anger is building up!

Because what Gao Jin said is closely related to them.

Reluctance seemed to be written all over the faces.

Seeing this, Gao Jin waited until the heat was almost gone and spoke loudly again.

"Since you are not willing to give in, then each hold the weapons in your hands and prepare to fight!"

"We are in Zhongshan now, with Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum behind us. I don't believe that Ming thieves dare to fire on Xiaoling Mausoleum."

"As long as the Ming army doesn't dare to fire, there's nothing to fear!"

"Speaking of hand-to-hand fighting, how can I, the Qing Dynasty, be afraid of Ming thieves?"

"Brothers, get ready and let the thieves see the bloody nature of our bannermen!" Gao Jin said through gritted teeth.

His voice fell, and the bannermen in front of him shouted loudly.

"Long live! Long live! Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

"Kill the thieves of the Ming Dynasty and repay the Qing Dynasty!"

These Eight Banners soldiers of Jiangning Eight Banners are ready to fight and want to fight the Ming army for their lives.

……

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Zhu Jing'an came on horseback.

He was riding on horseback, looking in the direction of Zhongshan, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your Highness, our army has surrounded Zhongshan and can launch an attack at any time to recover Emperor Taizu's mausoleum. Please give orders from His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Mingyou came to Zhu Jing'an and asked for a battle.

Zhu Jing'an narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to look at Zhongshan, his eyes a little complicated.

"The soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty have occupied Zhongshan. This means that I have made up my mind that the Ming Dynasty will throw a rat weapon and dare not bombard Xiaoling!"

Regarding this, Zhu Jing'an now has a headache.

However, Zhu Jing'an did not dare to do something as outrageous as bombarding Xiaoling.

You know, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to sweep half of the south so smoothly after it raised its troops.

The personal ability of Zhu Jing'an, a time traveler, is on the one hand.

But the Zhu family and his son are members of the Ming Dynasty clan, and having such a great ancestor like Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely one of the important reasons.

Without him, it is justifiable!

It is precisely because of the fact that after the Ming army defeated the situation, it was able to conquer the place with almost no obstacles and the gentry and the people returned to their hearts.

It is rare for someone to surrender and rebel again!

It is precisely because of the right name that the civil servants and generals in the court all think that it is natural for the old Zhu family to dominate the world.

No one dares to challenge the imperial power, which ensures the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent and prevents civil strife from breaking out!

It is precisely because the name is just and right that it has the aspiration of the people.

And this is the necessity of legal system!
Comrade Lao Zhu buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum is the source of the legal system for Zhu Jing'an and his son to rule the world.

Under such circumstances, if Zhu Jing'an still ordered the bombardment of Xiaoling, he would be a truly unworthy descendant!

Tian Wenchang heard this and just spoke.

"Your Highness, even if artillery cannot be used, our soldiers are confident that they can capture Zhongshan and annihilate the remaining Qing soldiers on Zhongshan."

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an took a deep breath, nodded and said.

"That's all it has to be!"

"Instruct our soldiers to immediately launch an attack on Xiaoling, and we must take back Xiaoling, which was occupied by the Tartars."

After hearing this, the generals of the Ming army clasped their fists and left.

Soon, the Ming army organized an offensive against Xiaoling.

Amid the shouts of killing, the soldiers of the Ming army held cold weapons and killed towards Xiaoling.

In order not to disturb Xiaoling, the Ming army rarely used artillery to provide fire cover before the infantry launched an attack.

Even the muskets were not used. The troops sent to capture Zhongshan were all cold weapon troops!
Heavy armor, swords and spears will be the main body of this battle!
……

Zuo Guoliang, as a newly surrendered general, took the initiative to request an order to serve as the vanguard of the army and wanted to issue a certificate of surrender.

Zhu Jing'an did not refuse, and agreed as the tide went.

Looking at Zhongshan, which was barely towering, Zuo Guoliang shouted loudly.

"Brothers, follow me!!"

"Capture Zhongshan, recover Xiaoling, and prove to His Highness the Crown Prince that we are not cowards!"

Behind him were the soldiers of the Jiangning City Defense Battalion.

Shouting loudly to kill, his morale was boiling and he rushed towards Zhongshan.

"Wan Sheng! Daming Wan Sheng!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore China!"

These people just cut off their braids and didn't even change their clothes, but compared to before, they seemed to be completely different people.

The morale is very high!
When the Qing army on Zhongshan Mountain saw the Ming army launching an attack, they also began to prepare for battle.

Boom!Boom!
The sound of artillery fire sounded, and the powerful invincible general artillery used by Jiangning Eight Banners aimed at the Ming army array that was killing them forward and began to deliver firepower.

Out of scruples, the Ming army did not dare to fire in the direction of Xiaoling, for fear of disturbing Xiaoling.

However, the Qing army on Zhongshan Mountain would not have so many worries.

After there was no fire suppression by the Ming army's artillery, the Qing army's artillery spit out tongues of fire wantonly.

Artillery shells flew in one after another, plowing ravines in the Ming army's array.

Broken limbs and broken arms are flying!

Zhu Jing'an couldn't bear to look directly, and then spoke.

"Get down!"

"Send an order to our frontline troops to withdraw immediately, adjust their formation, form a mandarin duck formation as a team, and attack forward with skirmishing lines."

Zuo Guoliang's operation of forming a dense array in front of the enemy's artillery fire simply made Zhu Jing'an feel stupid.

In other words, Zuo Guoliang was a newcomer and did not understand the Ming army's tactics and tactics. Zhu Jing'an could not blame him.

If any veteran in the Ming army dared to make such an operation, Zhu Jing'an would definitely not mind letting him go to the military academy immediately for further training.

Using a dense array to withstand enemy artillery fire is a taboo on the battlefield!
Zuo Guoliang's troops went to the battlefield for the first time after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, and suffered a round of artillery bombardment from the Qing army.

The casualties were quite heavy.

After receiving Zhu Jing'an's order, they began to retreat, reorganized their formation, and prepared for the second offensive.
