Chapter 1440 Sweeping Jiangnan

"Cowards, cowards, come back here, I will kill you!"

Obai roared angrily.

"Sir, run away!"

A soldier shouted.

"If I, the general, don't run away, I am the best batulu in the Qing Dynasty, and I will not accept it!"

Obai roared angrily.

The next second, an explosive package landed on the hill.

Accompanied by a boom and explosion.

Batulu, the best of the Qing Dynasty, turned into minced meat all over the ground.

"What bullshit Batulu, nothing more than that."

Han Yu stepped on the flesh and blood under his feet and pointed the flag forward.

"Strangulate the enemy troops and don't let any of them escape."

The cavalry regiments that had been waiting on the hillsides on both sides for a long time received the order, mobilized their horses, and rushed towards the fleeing Eight Banners.

Now Han Yu's cavalry regiment has also been updated with equipment.

In addition to the original saber and palm mine, it is also equipped with a short-barreled perpetual calendar rifle.

Although the barrel of this gun was sawn short, which reduced its effective range, it made it easier to use on horseback.

These cavalrymen chased and killed the Eight Banners soldiers from behind.

While urging the war horse, he aimed at the defeated soldiers and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang.

Rows of broken soldiers were knocked down, and the enemy was weakened bit by bit. It was exactly the same as what the cavalry did before, except that the weapons used were different.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry, not one of the Eight Banners brought by Obai ran back alive.

They were all overtaken and beheaded by the cavalry.

Han Yu also fulfilled his promise, stacking these people's heads together and pouring them with quicklime, turning them into a huge pyramid-like sculpture.

This is the Jingguan, a symbol used to highlight martial arts.

Not only the Eight Banners soldiers brought by Ao Bai, but also the other six armies that advanced together with Ao Bai were attacked head-on by soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

However, those teams had no cavalry and could not completely wipe out the enemy.

However, this was enough to scare the enemies and they retreated to their own province in embarrassment.

Some even collapsed on the spot and turned into bandits, raiding surrounding villages and causing misery to those villagers.

After wiping out the invading soldiers and horses, Han Yu did not stop. Instead, he let his army follow and catch up, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe. At the same time, he entered the neighboring provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian, expanding his army. Reclaim area.

In addition to the army following in pursuit and expanding the results, Han Yu also asked the navy to take action.

Although these navies have not been trained for a long time and are not familiar with warfare methods, sailing along the coast is not a problem yet.

The huge naval fleet set sail from Guangzhou Bay, and hundreds of warships moved north along the coastline and entered the Yangtze River Estuary.

Then they followed the Yangtze River into various tributary waterways and used naval guns to support the army.

For a time, Han Yu's troops swept across the entire Jiangnan.

Occupying half of the country.

Even Jinling City was captured.

After learning that the old capital had been captured, Mu Tianbo was extremely happy and quickly petitioned Han Yu to return the old capital and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Han Yu actually didn't want to proclaim himself emperor so early.

But he knew that this kind of thing was beyond his control.

Only when he proclaims himself emperor can his subordinates take a step further.

He doesn't need more fame and benefits, but his men do.

For the sake of those men, he has to go further.

Moreover, after ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he has more status and some policies are easier to implement.

"Then go to Jinling City and ascend the throne as emperor."

Han Yu led the first legion and everyone with the power of the dragon to Jinling.

Subsequently, Han Yu formally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor according to the Ming Dynasty's rituals, with the reign title Xuanwu.

After ascending the throne, hundreds of officials were conferred.

Because there were too few talents under his command, Han Yu took advantage of the situation and modified the original institutional structure of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, some provinces and cities have directly merged, such as the five provinces of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan and Shandong merged into Zhili, the three provinces of Su, Hui, and Jiangxi merged into Liangjiang, and the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi merged into Guangdong and Guangxi... The country is divided into eight major provinces. Each province has a governor-general who oversees government affairs, but is not allowed to interfere in military affairs by any means.

The defense of each province is under the responsibility of the garrison commander.

Regiment commanders at all levels obeyed the emperor's direct orders.

In addition, Han Yu also reset the Jinyi Guards, responsible for supervising officials, collecting enemy intelligence, and arresting enemy spies.

The Jinyiwei commander is directly responsible to the emperor.

In order to facilitate laziness, the meeting will be held once a month.

Government affairs are usually dealt with in imperial meetings.

The emperor took the lead and led the six ministers and ministers to hold a meeting.

When encountering a problem, the six ministries would first draft a solution. If the emperor thought it was acceptable, he would stamp it and implement it. If he didn't agree, he would cancel the plan and make a new plan.

This greatly reduced the emperor's workload and gave Han Yu more time to manage the legion and complete the task of unifying the world.

Han Yu proclaimed himself emperor in Jinling and almost turned the Qing court upside down.

Obai went on an expedition and took away all the elites he could bring with him, and mobilized green battalions from all provinces.

Now, all that is left in the Qing Dynasty are the Green Camp soldiers and horses from Zhili, some of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and some soldiers and horses who stayed in their hometown in Liaodong.

The entire Qing Dynasty was like a weak tiger, with only a layer of skin left.

More importantly, Han Yu blocked the Yangtze River waterway and occupied the south of the Yangtze River, directly cutting off the Manchu Qing's source of money and food.

There are now less than one million taels of silver in the Manchu treasury.

For an individual, this is a huge amount of wealth that cannot be spent in several lifetimes.

But that’s too little for a country.

Especially when the Qing Dynasty was defeated, he needed a lot of money to recruit new troops and form an army to resist the Ming Dynasty's attack.

But without money, they can't do anything.

"What should we do? Come up with an idea."

Kangxi looked at the remaining three ministers who cared about life and asked.

"Your Majesty, there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the mature Suoni spoke.

"What's the best solution?"

Kangxi asked.

"The best policy is to return to our hometown in Liaodong. Our ancestors once left a legacy. If we can't leave it inside the pass, we should go back outside the pass, back to our hometown."

"No, you absolutely can't go back!"

Before Kangxi could speak, Ye Bilong immediately objected.

He has become accustomed to the colorful world in the capital, and now he is not willing to go back and live a hard life.

"What about Zhongce?"

Kangxi asked.

"Order all provinces to organize team training to protect the country and the people."

"No," Suksaha shook his head repeatedly. Once this order is issued, it will be equivalent to relaxing the martial arts ban. By then, all provinces will have organized powerful armed forces.

They might be able to block Ming's army, but then what?

If you can block the Ming Dynasty's soldiers, you can naturally block the Manchu soldiers.

When the time comes, what will happen if these places imitate the Ming Dynasty and cede land to themselves?

By then, will the world still be full of people?

"Just tell me what to do." Kangxi was helpless.

The above two items were overturned by Minister Gu Ming, so how did he choose?

"The next best thing is to mobilize the army and fight the Ming Dynasty to the death!"
