Chapter 369
"Princess, princess, the People's Army has fought the Yangtze River."
Xiang Ning hurried into the room and told Zhu Yaojiang the news he had just found out. When she heard Xiang Ning's words, Zhu Yaojiang shook her body and felt darkness in front of her. If Xiang Ning hadn't reached out to support Zhu Yaojiang, Zhu Yaojiang would have fallen to the ground.
Since the People's Army started war against the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yaojiang felt that his life had become even more tormented. He had been in the People's Army ruled by the People's Army for more than two years and could not change her identity as a woman from the Zhu family. He returned to the People's Army to the south of the Yangtze River. Now the People's Army has even fought to the north of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Yaojiang no longer knew how long the Ming Dynasty would last. Just watching the Ming Dynasty be destroyed by the People's Army, Zhu Yaojiang felt very uncomfortable.
"Xiang Ning, what should I do?"
Zhu Yaojiang grabbed Xiang Ning's hand and asked her, tears in her eyes could not stop flowing out, sliding down her face, wetting the ground little by little.
Faced with Zhu Yaojiang's inquiry, Xiang Ning didn't know how to answer. She was just a little maid. She didn't understand and never thought about the affairs between the People's Army and the Ming Dynasty. She had only the princess, and her task was to serve the princess.
Zhu Yaojiang's mind was already mixed up. She once wanted to force herself to stop thinking about these things, but she could not give up these things, leaving her with only sadness and pain.
...
The news that the People's Army successfully crossed the Yangtze River quickly spread throughout the People's Army-ruled region. This is great news for those who support the People's Army. Anyone with some knowledge knows that the natural danger of the Yangtze River is the most difficult hurdle for the People's Army General and the Chinese land. As long as the People's Army successfully crossed the Yangtze River, it is only a matter of time before the People's Army General and the Chinese land.
Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan and Liang Xin, several major merchants sat together again. The three of them were very moved to learn that the People's Army had fought the Yangtze River. The three of them almost watched the People's Army occupy Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other four provinces, and now they fought to the north of the Yangtze River. No one in the world can stop the People's Army.
It's a pity that the three-person chamber of commerce does not intend to expand too much business scale this time. "We are rich enough to compete with the country" is not a good thing. You don't need to think about it and just wait for the three to make mistakes and cut them hard on the three. If the scale of the business is expanded without limit, the People's Army may just find a reason to collude with the enemy and search the three people's house.
It is similar to Jiang Ci, Xia Jingshan and Liang Xin. Other big businessmen of the same level dare not expand their business scale without restrictions. Instead, lower-level merchants were full of joy to expand their business and expand their business. Perhaps more than ten big businessmen of the same level as Jiang Ci and others could be added in a few years.
Ordinary people have little knowledge. They do not know the significance of the People's Army crossing the Yangtze River. However, they know that the People's Army has won another battle. As long as the People's Army wins the battle, it is good news. They hope that the People's Army will continue to win and protect them, the people who have just lived a good life for a few years.
The war has been going on for more than half a month, and Fang Nan is very busy and doesn't even have time to go over to see the first ship.
Fang Nan was more concerned about ships and directly gave the steam engine "Ship" the day the ship was launched, a very vivid name.
During the construction process, there were many problems with ships. The project team solved one by one before they were successfully launched. However, after the ship sailed more than ten meters, new problems arose. The project team still needs to continue researching. Everyone is looking forward to building a practical ship one day earlier.
After skipping the ship, Fang Nan devoted himself to the final battle between the People's Army and the Ming court. From time to time, there were things that could not be decided in the front line and sent back. Fang Nan made a decision and ran away and sent it out quickly.
The land of China is very large, and Guangzhou City is in the southernmost part of China. If the People's Army fights to the capital, it will be 4,000 miles from the capital to the Guangzhou City. It is too troublesome to convey information. Hu Zhuang is ready to take some of the Ministry of War personnel to Wuchang City. The straight distance from the capital to Wuchang City is only more than 2,000 miles.
The People's Army Central Government Building in the new urban area of Wuchang City has been built, and there is no problem moving all the People's Army Central Government over.
Occupying the area south of the Yangtze River is the first step for the People's Army to unite the land of China. Crossing the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River is the second step. Next, the People's Army will fight from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, crossing the Yellow River and rushing straight to the capital. This war cannot be completely over this year.
When the People's Army occupied the area south of the Yangtze River, only the Battle of Jinling City broke out. The scale of other battles was very small. Even in the relatively complex form, there were no large-scale battles in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan.
Until the crossing of the Yangtze River and entering the north of the Yangtze River, the People's Army encountered several battles with more than 100,000 people participating in the war. Of course, these wars could not stop the People's Army from advancing.
There is still another problem that needs to be solved, that is, the Ming Navy sailing in the Yangtze River. Now most of the Ming Navy either surrendered to the People's Army or was defeated by the People's Navy, but there are still a small number of the navy who are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty wandering in the Yangtze River.
When the Jiangxi People's Army was preparing to cross the river, a navy loyal to the Ming court came to stop it, asking the Jiangxi People's Army's crossing forces to temporarily give up crossing the river. If you don't have naval ships to cover it, the People's Army would suffer heavy losses. However, the crossing forces in Huguang successfully crossed the river with more than one division before the Ming Navy arrived.
More people's army crossed the Yangtze River from the downstream, while the People's Navy sailed upstream along the Yangtze River channel, looking for its own opponent to fight. A small number of the Ming Navy who had surrendered joined the People's Navy's combat sequence. In order to prevent accidents, Zhou Yi arranged for some people to board various ships.
Entering the northern part of the Yangtze River, there are more battles, and large wars are not common, and there are more small-scale battles. This is normal. The closer you are to the People's Army ruling area, the more people understand the strength of the People's Army. The closer you are to the capital, the more people are loyal to the Ming court.
Earlier, in order to contact and win over all forces, the MIIS sacrificed many agents. The most sacrificed were these forces loyal to the Ming court. The People's Army would give additional compensation to the agents who died on missions. If there is still extra land in the local area, the more land they will be distributed, and if there is no extra land, the money will be given.
Faced with the forces loyal to the Ming court, the People's Army showed all its combat power. Just by howitzers and gunfire, they were about to defeat the enemy. The first-row warriors rushed forward together, and no enemy could resist it.
However, the MIIS also investigated that the Ming court had trained an elite force, and the most intense battle was expected to break out in the northern Zhili area.
