Meeting on a narrow road

Jining South Gate.

Scarface was wearing Ma Gan, He Mazi, Wang Huzi, and Li Chengdong stood on the enemy's building to observe the enemy's situation.

Ma Gan fingered outside the city and said to Scarface: "General, look, Jiannu is digging trenches. It seems that they want to besiege Jining City for a long time."

A sneer flashed across Scar's face and said with a grim voice: "After so many years, Jiannu has not made any progress at all. He is still the same as siege of cities and land. In the Battle of Songshan, they used this to siege Jinzhou and Songshan. Humph, this may work against the Guanning Army, but it is simply a decoration for our Central Army."

“That’s.”

Wang Huzi also participated in the Battle of Songshan that year and said loudly, "The range of Jiannu's bow and arrow is far less than that of our army's muskets. With the cover of the musket team, our army can calmly destroy Jiannu's fences and calmly fill the trenches they have worked hard to dig. There are only a few small ditches, and it can be filled in at most half a day when dispatching 500 brothers."

Scarface said with a grim voice: "If Jiannu wants to dig a trench outside the city, let them dig it, and ignore it. However, the four floating bridges that block the canal, especially the two floating bridges in the south, must be destroyed. If these two floating bridges are not destroyed, our Ming Navy will not be able to enter the city, and food, supplies, weapons and ammunition cannot be supplied. Then Jining will become an isolated city!"

"General, let's leave this matter to Beizhi." He Mazi said with a grim smile, "I have already thought about it."

"Oh?" Scarface said happily, "What do you think?"

He Mazi said: "Beizhi has prepared 100 Dragon King Cannons, which are installed in ten wooden barrels. When it gets dark, ten brothers with superb water will push the wooden barrels from underwater to approach the pontoon bridge, and then detonate... Boom, the pontoon bridge that Jiannu finally built was about to fly into the sky."

Scarface thought for a while and asked with some concern: "It's October day now, and it's very cold underwater. It's several miles away from the city to the Jiannu Floating Bridge. Can the brothers bear it?"

He Mazi said: "General, don't worry, the brothers of the Central Army are all tough. If the brothers don't want to die, he will not dare to accept the King of Hell."

"Okay." Scarface said happily, "I have such a strong sense of strength. When things are done, I personally ask the Marquis for you."

He Mazi stepped forward and saluted, "Then I am grateful to you for your brothers first."

"Report..." As soon as He Mazi finished speaking, the messenger rushed to the top of the city and gasped, "General, Fei Ge, the Central Military Command, passed the letter!"

"Well, Central Command!" Scarface's eyes sterned and said in a deep voice, "Come on!"

The messenger quickly handed the small paper roll in his hand to Scarface. Scarface took the paper roll and spread it out quickly. After reading it quickly, his face changed drastically, and his open mouth couldn't close his ears for a long time.

The generals next to them also changed their faces and asked nervously: "General, what happened?"

Scarface's expression quickly calmed down, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, nothing big, the Marquis encountered some minor trouble. Because the traitor informed him, Jiannu learned about the hydrological geography of Shandong and dug up the Han River embankment, which caused the water level of the Hanzhuang section canal to drop sharply. Now the navy's ships are no longer open to navigation."

"ah?"

"this……"

"Canal water level dropped sharply?"

The generals of Ma Gan were shocked when they heard this. Although these guys were all from martial arts, they all experienced hundreds of bloody battles. Youdao is a doctor after a long illness, and they can naturally become experts in wars when they heard that the canal in the Hanzhuang section was cut off and they knew the seriousness of the problem.

"It's no big deal." Scar said coldly, "Isn't it just that the canal of the Hanzhuang section has been cut off? The Marquis said that the Central Army is the Central Army, and even without the help of the navy, it is still the Central Army. What are the Jiannu and the Tartar soldiers? In front of our Central Army, they are just a dish, and we can eat whatever we want."

Li Chengdong said: "But General, since the canal channel has been cut off by Jiannu, Jining has become an isolated city. Should we withdraw our troops while Jiannu's siege project has not been completed? Otherwise, after Jiannu dug up the moat and then build three fences, it will take some effort to break through."

"No." Scarface said coldly, "The Central Army has withdrew. What should the people in the city do if they have no time to evacuate?"

Li Chengdong said shamelessly: "The general taught me a lesson, and he was confused by his humble position."

Scarface said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think about it anymore. The Marquis has already said that he will lead the main force of the Central Army to Jining to meet us within five days. Our task is to accumulate energy and wait for the Marquis to arrive quietly. Of course, we must also do a good job of alert during this period, and we must never give Jiannu any opportunity to take advantage of it."

"yes!"

Ma Gan, Wang Huzi, and Li Chengdong agreed with a loud promise.

He Mazi said anxiously: "General, the incident of blowing up the pontoon bridge..."

"Cancel." Scarface said without thinking, "Since the canal channel has been cut off by Jiannu, it doesn't matter whether or not the pontoon bridge is blown up, so why waste a hundred Dragon King cannons for insignificant matters?"

Hanzhuang is located in the triangle area at the intersection of the Han River and the canal.

When it was almost dark, Wang Pu led the main force of the Central Army to advance outside Hanzhuang Village. At this time, Hanzhuang had become an empty town like Taizhuang. The people had already fled to Xuzhou and Huaian in the south half a month ago. There were only a few wild dogs and wild cats moving in the huge town.

Wang Pu sent a squadron to reconnaissance the town. After confirming that there were indeed no Tatar soldiers in the town, he ordered the entire army to enter Hanzhuang. Because the Wu Temple outside the village was completely preserved and the nearby terrain was steep, it was not conducive to the sneak attack of the Tatar cavalry, and it became Wang Pu's temporary headquarters.

At this time, Wang Pu was standing in the lobby of the Wu Temple to pay homage to the Wu Saint.

The Martial Saint of the Ming Dynasty was Yue Fei, not Guan Yu. Respecting Guan Yu as the Martial Saint and opening temples to worship was a matter after the Qing Dynasty. The Qing rulers abolished Yue Fei and changed Guan Yu to the Martial Saint, and their intentions were obvious.

Yue Fei is a national hero of the Han people, but for the Jurchens, Yue Fei is a butcher, a hand of Hu Zi! There are countless Jin people who died under Yue Fei's hands, and Jiannu is also a Jurchen. Of course, they would not let a butcher whose hands were covered with Jurchen blood become their martial saint.

However, for the Han people, Yue Fei was the real martial saint, and Guan Yu didn't even deserve to carry his shoes.

Yue Fei was loyal to the country, and killed the Jurchens, protected the Han people and the Song Dynasty, but what about Guan Yu? What did Guan Yu do?

Guan Yu's "in Cao's camp, his heart is in Han", and "submitting Han but not surrendering Cao" is actually a bitch and archway. It is actually the same nature as Wu Sangui who only wants to borrow Qing soldiers but does not want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The difference between the two is that the Qing Dynasty is a foreign tribe, while Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so Guan Yu is qualified to become a martial saint, while Wu Sangui is a great traitor who is criticized by thousands of people and has become a traitor who is scolded by the world.

When Wang Pu was remembering the ancients, Liu Rushi's low chanting suddenly came from behind:

Looking at the Central Plains from afar, outside the deserted smoke, the outer city walls are hidden.

Thinking back then, flowers and willows protect the phoenix tower and dragon pavilion.

The pearls and jade are surrounded by the front of Wansui Mountain, and the bamboo songs are written in Fenghu Hall.

Now, iron cavalry has filled the city and the dust is evil.

Where is the soldiers? The sword?

The people are at peace? Fill in the ravines.

Sighing that the country is as old as before, and the villages are lonely.

When will I volunteer to carry my brigade and cross Qingheluo with one whip?

But he returned and continued his trip to Hanyang again, riding the yellow crane.

Wang Pu was shocked when he heard this, especially the sentence "Where is the soldiers? The edge of the razor is the people? Fill in the ravines. Sighing that the country is still the same, and thousands of villages are deserted." It even touched Wang Pu's heartstrings. Isn't this a portrayal of the Ming Dynasty? The powerful Ming army has become the soul of Jiannu, the deceased under the blade of the Tartars! Where are the hardworking people? They have been filled with the ravines by Jiannu, the Tartars! The once prosperous Central Plains land is now exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!

Thinking of countless hardworking and kind people tragically dying in Jiannu, under the butcher knife of the Tartar soldiers, Wang Pu couldn't help but bite his steel teeth, and his eyes showed deep hatred! Jiannu, what the Tartar soldiers had been involved in the Han people, one day, he would give back ten times and a hundred times to Jiannu and the Tartars!

Before traveling through time, Wang Pu was a nationalist, a complete Han chauvinist. Now he has traveled through time and has seized powerful power through unremitting efforts. Wang Pu swore that the Han nation will undergo a fundamental transformation from him. The Han nation is still the hardworking and smart nation, but it is no longer the kind and tolerant nation before!

Starting from Wang Pu, the Han people will become an ambitious and expanding nation, just like the Slavic nation in later generations!

Wang Pu clenched his fists, and the heart-suffering fire burned in his heart. In the Battle of Jining, the Jiannu and the Tartars would be wiped out in all respects. From now on, they would never let them step into the Central Plains again! From now on, Wang Pu would never allow any alien race to harm the Han people...

A pair of soft jade arms suddenly surrounded Wang Pu's waist from behind, and Liu Rushi's gentle voice sounded: "Mr. Marquis, I can understand your current mood. Your current mood is the same as when Yue Wumu faced the broken Central Plains. Yue Wumu finally died with hatred and failed to attack Huanglong in his life. But I believe that Marquis, you will definitely be able to restore Liaodong."

Wang Pu gently held Liu Rushi's soft little hand and asked in a voice: "If one day the Central Army conquered Liaodong and I ordered the killing of Jiannu to avenge the victims of Han compatriots, would you think I was cold-blooded?"

"No." Liu Rushi shook his head gently and said softly, "There are more than tens of millions of Han people who died under Jiannu? Every Jiannu's hand was covered with the blood of Han people. The Marquis ordered all Jiannu to be slaughtered. The people in the world would only applaud and not feel that the Marquis was cold-blooded and cruel."

Wang Pu said in a grim voice: "What if I don't even let go of women or children?"

Liu Rushi whispered: "Although Jiannu women are innocent, how can they let us Han women go? Although Jiannu children are innocent, who can guarantee that they will not harm the Han people when they grow up?"

"I understand, I understand." Wang Pu turned around suddenly, hugged Liu Rushi's soft body hard, and said in a calm voice, "I know what to do."

Until this moment, Wang Pu finally made up his mind and the racial policy of the Ming Empire officially set the tone!

Wang Pu only has one purpose. This world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak, and fairness has always been an empty word.

The order and rules of the game in this world can only be formulated by the Han ethnic group. The Han ethnic group must occupy an absolute dominance, and the rest of the nations are not qualified to be on par with the Han ethnic group. Once conquered by the Han ethnic group, they have only two choices, either be integrated by the Han ethnic group, or... exterminated!

"Report!"

Zheng Chenggong's loud voice suddenly sounded outside the lobby.

Liu Rushi quickly left Wang Pu's arms, but Wang Pu grinned disinterestedly and said loudly: "Come in."

Zheng Chenggong entered in a straight line, first salutes Wang Pu and Liu Rushi, and then said: "Mr. Marquis, as planned, the first battalion of the logistics company has built two simple floating bridges on the Han River. The three thousand officers and soldiers of the 1st battalion of the Central Army's 10th Musket Battalion have crossed the Han River and set up camp on the other side."

"Yeah." Wang Pu nodded and said happily, "When will the reinforcement of the floating bridge be completed? When will the baggage team and artillery battalion cross the river?"

Zheng Chenggong said: "The floating bridge will be reinforced at the earliest tomorrow morning, and the baggage team and artillery battalion can cross the river smoothly."

"Very good." Wang Pu looked at Zheng Chenggong's eyes with admiration and said in a calm voice, "It's done well. It seems that this marquis asked you to temporarily lead the first battalion of the baggage! Zheng Chenggong, if the Central Army can arrive in Jining as scheduled within five days, your baggage battalion's agent battalion will become the real battalion."

Zheng Chenggong saluted his legs and said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation."

"Go."

Wang Pu waved his hand and said, "Don't forget to inform the tenth battalion on the other side of the river to strengthen their vigilance and beware of the sneak attacks of Jiannu and the Tartar soldiers at night."

"yes."

Zheng Chenggong responded loudly and took the order and left.

Fifty miles north of Hanzhuang, Shagou gathers.

Just as Wang Pu brought the main force of the Central Army to Hanzhuang, Dorgon also rushed to Shagouji with the main force of Jiannu from five flags and joined with the 30,000 cavalrymen of Tushetu who were stationed in Shagouji. The two cavalrymen of Chahar and Khalkha had been sent by Dorgon to Boluo to cooperate with Boluo's five thousand flag soldiers to fill the river.

At night, the Tartar Rangers brought back a shocking news.

Prince Tu Xietu almost rolled and crawled into Dorgon's temporary headquarters and said tremblingly: "Master, Nan... Nanming barbarians, Nanming barbarians are here..."

Dorgon's brow frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell me slowly, what is the Nanming barbarian coming?"

Prince Tu Xietu took a deep breath and said in a voice: "Master, just now, the barbarians of the Nanming have arrived in Hanzhuang!"

"What did you say?" Dorgon suddenly stood up and said sternly, "The Nanming barbarians arrived in Hanzhuang?"

Prince Tuxetu focuses on the key points.

Dorgon's brow frowned and asked in a narrow voice: "How many people are there?"

"All." Prince Tu Xietu said tremblingly, "All the Nanming barbarians stationed in Taizhuang have arrived in Hanzhuang."
Chapter completed!
