I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 438 The dark night is coming

With the cooperation of the friendly army, Shi Shouye completely wiped out the opponent, and the entire Ningde campaign came to an end.

The total number of casualties of the Chinese army reached more than 3,700 people, and more than 400 people were seriously injured.

Such heavy casualties, Hua Jun has not appeared for some time.

Of course, compared with the huge results, this casualty seems insignificant.

In this campaign, they annihilated more than 45,000 Ming troops, and Zheng Zhibao successfully brought back to Fuzhou, less than 4,000 troops.

Among the more than 45,000 soldiers, more than 13,000 soldiers were killed, more than 2,000 were missing, and the remaining 30,000 were all captured.

Most of these people will be escorted to Nanjing to repair the railway.

In terms of materials, more than 100 artillery pieces were seized, 5,000 flintlock guns that could be used, and a lot of other scattered garbage.

After this battle, Daming's vitality was severely damaged.

Although they still have more than 80,000 people in Fuzhou, there are not many flintlock guns, and a large number of grenades have also been lost, and it is difficult to replenish them in a short time.

Without these weapons and equipment, there is no point in having a large number of troops.

The current Ming army, if every gun in their hands, they are reluctant to join the army.

Because ordinary soldiers are aware that they are still holding a big sword to compete with the enemy, that is, they are going to die.

When the news of Ningde's defeat reached Fuzhou, the shock was even more severe than that of Zheng Zhilong's navy defeat.

The navy is defeated, and they can defend one more time.

The army was also defeated, so they were really poor, and there was nothing they could do.

After the fall of Ningde, the next step for the Hua army must be Fuzhou.

Some wealthy people have begun to flee Fuzhou to the countryside or other cities to escape the scourge of war.

Although the Chinese army would not intentionally kill the people, those artillery pieces had no eyes, and every siege battle would inevitably injure houses and people by mistake.

The people who were accidentally injured generally only admit that they are unlucky, and there is not so much reasoning in this period.

Some officials have stepped up their contact with Hua Jun's detailed work, and kept leaking information, hoping to have a good death after the war.

The tree fell down and scattered, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Daming was really dying.

Daming is the Daming of their Zhu family, not everyone's Daming, so why go to work for Daming?

Dahua is also a regime established by the Han people, and there is no need to bear any infamy for serving Dahua, and some officials have no moral burden in their hearts.

The rich think about fleeing, the officials think about mutiny, the army is busy building fortifications, and the chaos in the city is left alone.

Some hooligans took advantage of the opportunity to come out to beat, smash, loot and burn, rape and loot.

All kinds of things that are rarely seen on weekdays have popped up overnight.

In addition to these chaos, the most common thing in the city these days is funerals.

On the streets, there are funeral ceremonies everywhere.

In the alley, you could hear mourning and crying everywhere.

In several successive wars, the Ming army alone killed tens of thousands of soldiers.

Most of these people are locals in Fuzhou.

Almost, on average, one out of every two or three households died in battle.

In that scene, everyone was wearing a linen and filial piety, and the city was filled with sadness and whiteness.

The Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

It's gone, it's all gone, the wealth he has accumulated over the decades has been wiped out in two wars.

There are still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers with big swords left, which is no longer meaningful.

This person, I am afraid that Hua Jun will be able to disperse them with a single charge.

"Send someone to contact Dahua's spies and say that we are willing to surrender unconditionally."

Zheng Zhilong said.

"What, unconditional? Brother, calm down, doesn't this mean that we have to live an ordinary life in the future? Although our strength is greatly lost now, after all, we have surrendered with tens of thousands of people. It is not too much to ask for glory and wealth."

Zheng Zhihu said that he couldn't accept the feeling that everything he had was in vain, it was more uncomfortable than killing him.

"You haven't seen it yet? Dahua is not rare at all, or is unwilling to accept us. Moreover, they also have this strength and are so arrogant. If we are not obedient, I am afraid that we will end up in the future.

Surrender now, even if there is no power in the future, Dahua wants to show the world, it will not be too difficult for us, at least it can save the family. "

Zheng Zhilong said.

"I won't surrender. The big deal is that I will take my brothers to sea and go to Taiwan to continue to be pirates."

Zheng Zhibao said.

Zheng Zhilong sighed after hearing this, but did not object.

Letting Zheng Zhibao go to sea is also a way back.

In the palace in Fuzhou, Zhu Yujian was drinking suffocating wine.

Lost again.

Fortunately, after working hard for half a year, he set up a strong army.

But in the battle with the Chinese army, they were ruthlessly crushed.

From the battle report, Zhu Yujian also knew the main reason for the defeat, because a new gun was added to the Chinese army, and its performance was several times better than that of the flintlock gun.

Another new weapon, seeing this Zhu Yujian smiled.

Like a helpless laugh, but also like a crazy laugh.

"Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing, where did you get so many new weapons, why are you able to create so many advanced weapons?

Stuff, why are you so smart?

Are you the real Dragon King? "

Zhu Yujian said to himself, Wu Changqing's experience of rising is so legendary, it is almost a hundred times more legendary than the Manchu entry.

There are at least nearly one million people and more than 200,000 elite soldiers when the Manchus entered the customs.

As for Wu Changqing, there were only 300 people when he rose.

Relying on 300 people, in less than two years, it has developed to the strongest it is now.

"If there were such fictional novels in the past, I'm afraid they would be laughed at. And this guy actually did it."

Zhu Yujian sighed.

Up to now, he is really convinced, and thinks that he is not as good as Wu Changqing.

However, he could not surrender, because he is the emperor, he has his pride and dignity.

Even if he can't beat him, he will die in battle, instead of surrendering to be a prisoner, and saying something "reluctant" in order to beg for life.

"Your Majesty, Sir Huang asks to see you."

The eunuch came to report.

"No, so what if I see it, who else can turn the tide now?"

Zhu Yujian laughed.

He is already going crazy.

The emperor does not manage, and the few ministers can only be anxious.

They also wanted to persuade Zhu Yujian to continue retreating to Zhaoqing in Guangdong, and then continue to work hard.

On the coast of Guangdong, you can continue to do business with Westerners, and it is not entirely without opportunities for redevelopment.

Of course, these are actually just rhetoric, and those people actually just want to continue to survive for a while.

As long as Daming still exists, they will be able to enjoy one more day of blessings.

If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, they will have nothing to do in the future for these diehard loyalists.
