Chapter 1074 Integrity

July 25th, Shanhai City.

In the blink of an eye, the last battle in Huaxia District will begin. The 100,000 troops of Daxia's expedition this time are the same as the Battle of Yashan, including the Royal Fleet, the Fourth Army of the Imperial Guard, and three thousand Shenwuwei.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also handpicked the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Li Jing, and the scholar of the Zizheng Pavilion, Jia Xu, to go out with the army. He had a vague premonition that this battle would not be easy.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the system announcement sounded on time.

"System announcement: In 1645 A.D., the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty eliminated the Dashun regime, it turned to the south and attacked the Nanming Hongguang regime. The two sides fought fiercely for several months, and finally ended with the demise of the Hongguang regime. The tenth epic battle— —The battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty has officially begun!"

...

Detect the conditions for participating in the battle, designate the participating troops...

"System prompt: The epic battle of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is divided into the Qing Dynasty camp and the Ming Dynasty camp. Players are asked to choose a camp! Special reminder: If you choose a historical defeat camp and reverse the historical ending, players in this camp will receive extra rich rewards. Please players Choose carefully!"

"Choose the Ming Dynasty camp!"

"System prompt: The faction is selected, and the teleportation begins!"

After a short period of dizziness, Ouyang Shuo and his party appeared on the battlefield.

"System prompt: Welcome to the player Qiyue Wuyi coming to the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty camp - Jianye."

As soon as he appeared, Ouyang Shuo saw Feng Prison and Huang on the opposite side, and jokingly said, "This time you are the protagonist."

Feng Prisonhuang spread his hands and said innocently: "I don't know that a battle will be triggered." Then he asked worriedly, "The sudden outbreak of a battle will not affect the deployment of Daxia in the Northland, right?"

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, what to do with him."

"It's true." Feng Prison Huang immediately dismissed it.

So far in the game, the two of them have experienced big storms, and such a little accident will not make them flustered. In the conversation just now, the ridicule was greater than reality.

Just after Ouyang Shuo joined Feng Prison Huang, battle announcements came from his ears.

"Battle Announcement: Three lords participated in the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, with a total force of 300,000 troops. The Qing Dynasty camp had one lord with a total force of 100,000 troops; the Ming Dynasty camp had two lords with a total force of 200,000 troops."

...

This is the calmest and fairest battle. The three lords are equally divided, each commanding 100,000 troops, and they are about to start fighting on the battle map.

As for Dichen choosing the Qing camp, Ouyang Shuo was not surprised at all.

After going through the Anshi Rebellion, Di Chen probably didn't want to be in the same camp as Ouyang Shuo because he didn't have any sense of existence. Second, Dichen probably also had considerations of getting closer to the Qing Dynasty.

The sudden outbreak of the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty undoubtedly gave Da Zhou an opportunity to unite with Kyoto County to check and balance the northern provinces. Taking a ten thousand step back, the choice of the battle camp has nothing to do with good or evil, so how could Di Chen hesitate.

"Battle Announcement: Because the Qing Dynasty camp is weaker than the Ming Dynasty camp, according to the battle rules, the Qing Dynasty camp will automatically receive a 45% increase in troop defense."

...

One against two, 100,000 against 200,000, Di Chen may be under some pressure this time, but fortunately Gaia is always so fair, allowing Da Zhou's 100,000 troops to get a 45% defense bonus.

Based on this alone, the damage of the Great Zhou army would be halved.

"Battle Announcement: According to the test results of title and merit, the representative of the alien from the Qing camp is Di Chen, Duke. The representative of the alien from the Qing camp is Qiyue Wuyi, Wang Jue."

...

It's become a routine.

After the battle announcement was over, Ouyang Shuo had time to observe their environment.

The place where the 200,000 troops appeared was located in the west camp outside Jianye City, and two miles westward was the mighty Yangtze River. Down the Yangtze River, only a hundred miles away, is Yangzhou, one of the main battlefields.

The Jianghuai River Basin has always been a natural barrier in the south. The Huaihe River is located between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, flows to Jiangdu District of Yangzhou, and flows into the Yangtze River through Sanjiangying.

Since ancient times, the Huaihe River must be guarded to guard the river, and the loss of the Huaihe River Basin was fatal to Nanming. Because the Yangtze River is a natural transportation line, if the battle line is on the edge of the Yangtze River, then both the north and the south can rely on the Yangtze River to transport troops and supplies. The natural danger of the Yangtze River is shared by both sides, and the South has no advantage.

And once the south can hold the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River will be the exclusive transportation line of the southern regime. In the era when transportation depends on foot power and animal power, shipping can be used, so it will be a huge advantage in terms of logistics.

Another point is that in the absence of a consolidated rule in the Jianghuai region, once the Qing army crossed the Yangtze River and penetrated deeply, it would fall into a desperate situation with its back to the Yangtze River and no way to retreat.

It's okay to win, but if you can't win, there are enemies in Jiangbei. There are strong enemies in front of you and there is no way out, so you can only jump into the river. Once Jianghuai is occupied by the Qing army, the thousands of miles of defense along the Yangtze River can be broken through from any point, and even if it fails once, it can be returned to Jiangbei in time without any loss.

On the other hand, the Nanming army will be very big, because the front line is too long, it is impossible to hold the entire line of defense. A negligence, a failure, or the defection and surrender of the defenders in a certain key place, the Qing army will immediately be in the state of a million troops going to the south of the Yangtze River.

In history, the Qing army broke through Yangzhou, captured the Huaihe River Basin, and entered the Yangtze River at once. Without natural barriers, it was normal for Jianye to lose its defense.

The same is true of history.

In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi, Duoduo moved from Xi'an to the southeast to attack the Hongguang regime. In March, the Qing army captured Guide; in April, the troops were divided to attack Xuzhou and Bozhou, and the troops pointed directly at the two Huaihe Rivers.

Shi Kefa, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, commanded the army and the people to resist desperately in Yangzhou. He held on for ten days, and was killed after the city was broken.

Since then, the Qing army has encountered almost no resistance. In May, the Qing army crossed the Yangtze River, occupied Jianye, captured Zhu Yousong in Wuhu, and the Hongguang regime fell.

The battle lasted less than half a year, and the only shining point was the battle of Yangzhou.

"I just don't know that Yangzhou is still there." Ouyang Shuo looked intently, although he was a little self-deceiving, if possible, Ouyang Shuo still didn't want "Ten Days in Yangzhou" to happen again.

"Go, enter the city!"

After handing over the troops to Li Jing, Guo Ziyi and others, Ouyang Shuo led the Shenwu Guards, together with Feng Prison Huang, and entered Jianye under the leadership of the camp guard.

Dashun was destroyed, the Qing army went south, and there were many atrocities. At this time, people in Jianye City were already in a state of panic. Since there were passionate people who sang generously and elegiacly, naturally there were also many capitulators with their own ulterior motives.

Looking through the history, the capitulator that impressed Ouyang Shuo the most was none other than Qian Qianyi, Minister of Rites. As the leader of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, this person is so soft and cheap that it is incredible.

In May of the second year of Shunzhi, the Qing army approached Jianye.

Liu Rushi persuaded Qian Qianyi to die for the country, but Qian Qianyi thanked him but was unable. On May 15th, Qian Qianyi not only surrendered his face, but also shaved off his hair in advance.

At that time, Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan who had a good relationship with Qian Qianyi, and Yuan Shu, a political and military officer in Henan, vowed not to be an official, and died of hunger strike one after another in depression.

As the leader of the gentry is so shameless, he naturally has no integrity.
