At the beginning of August, Wu Jun’s vanguard troops arrived in Zhenjiang and then crossed the river from Zhenjiang.
The forwards were the 21st Division of the Second Army of the Army and the First Division of the Navy. The head of the 21st Division is Tang Guozhen, a leader in the academy. He is only twenty-five years old this year, very young.
Moreover, the theoretical knowledge is very solid, and the combat experience is also very rich. He has experienced the decisive battle in Nanjing and the Battle of Jiujiang, and he has risen step by step by virtue of his combat achievements.
Although he is a new student, his personal relationship with Liu Hansan is very good. This time, it was also the vanguard task that Liu Hansan won for him.
This task is well accomplished, and it is another credit.
Moreover, this task does not seem to have any difficulty.
The Qing army stationed in Yangzhou had less than 10,000 people, and they were basically green camps, not many Eight Banners soldiers.
After all, the population of the Manchu and Mongolian tribes is too small, and the process of annexing Daming is like a snake swallowing elephants. If Daming is a dead elephant, they still have time to digest it slowly.
Just like the original time and space, Nan Ming hardly resisted.
But if the swallowed elephant can struggle a little bit fiercely, the snake's belly will not be able to stand it.
Just like now, the Qing army only suffered two disastrous defeats, and the situation of insufficient strength immediately appeared. In most parts of the north, only green camp soldiers can be garrisoned.
For these people, let alone their combat power, loyalty alone is a huge problem.
When the Qing army is strong, they will follow the fox behind the buttocks.
Once the Qing army continues to suffer defeat, they will undoubtedly be a wall of grass, and they will quickly fall to Wu Jun's side.
The Man Mongolia Eight Banners is the basic dish of Dorgon. If this dish is smashed, the territory is full of clouds.
Yangzhou, General Military Mansion.
"Sir, what should we do? General Alinbao ordered us to go to the river immediately to prevent Wu Jun from landing."
Hearing the enquiries from his subordinates, Fang Ce, the general soldier of the Yangzhou Green Camp, squinted his eyes and knocked on the table, and then vomited: "Stop, how to stop, do you scare Wu Jun back with this bright knife?"
Yangzhou is close to Nanjing, so Fang Ce also knows Nanjing well and knows the true strength of Wu Jun.
With the 8,000 troops under his own, plus those backward swords, this is not to resist at all, it is obviously to die.
Rather than resist Wu Jun, it is better to find a way to kill Alinbao, which is much easier.
Alinbao's direct troops only have more than 300 people, and they can be easily wiped out.
Moreover, he has always been prepared to do so.
Fang Ce had known for a long time that if Wu Jun had to go northward, he would most likely pass through his side, because there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
So, very early on, he began to think about what he should do when Wu Jun went north.
After countless deductions and thoughts, his decision was to surrender anyway.
Good birds choose woods to live, and those who know the current affairs are handsome, Fang Ce has not sold his life to Daming, and naturally he will not be so stupid to sacrifice his life to the Qing court.
"According to the plan, do something clean and don't let Alinbao run away."
Fang Ce said, his abdomen heard the words and immediately understood and started to work.
The so-called plan is to capture Alinbao alive, and then send an envoy to surrender to Wu Jun, and talk about the conditions by the way, to see if he can keep his original official position.
Not long after, there was a tearing sound in the city. But soon, these voices subsided.
There were more than 300 people, and they were still attacked by premeditated attacks, and they didn't resist for long. After dozens of people died, the rest chose to surrender. After all, there are only a few people who can continue to resist without seeing any hope.
"Fang Ce, you are a wolf-hearted tempter, and I was in vain to value you, and you even collided with the enemy."
The arrested Alinbao yelled at Fang Ce, but Fang Ce was indifferent and just looked at Alinbao with a smile.
Alinbao continued to yell at him reluctantly. After the cursing Fang Ce became impatient, Fang Ce made him applaud.
Bang bang bang.
Dozens of loud and big mouths came down, and Alinbao's mouth could no longer speak.
"Swear, continue to swear, you say you are stupid or not."
Fang Ce smiled.
In the eyes of others, Alinbao is a spineless performance. In Fang Ce's eyes, this is brain damage.
In Guazhou, Wu Jun did not encounter any resistance and landed smoothly.
This made Tang Guozhen a little helpless. There was no battle, and he was embarrassed to say that he had any credit for landing.
A large number of soldiers who were originally a little nervous began to go ashore talking and laughing, and at the same time carry various materials and equipment to the shore. When the materials of more than 10,000 people are piled together, they are as high as a hill.
While they were busy, an envoy sent by Fang Ce arrived and expressed their willingness to surrender.
This is why Tang Guozhen knows why he has not encountered resistance, and there is someone who is co-authoring to surrender.
Tang Guozhen looked down on these wall grass and cartilage.
However, the policy formulated by Wu Changqing is to accept any form of surrender and encourage and welcome the enemy's surrender.
This makes those officers and generals who want to make meritorious service helpless, but they are not too stupid to refuse Fang Ce's surrender for a bit of credit.
It is always a good thing to be able to win Yangzhou without sacrificing a single soldier. As for the credit, I will talk about it later.
Anyway, this decisive battle, there is no hard battle to fight with no worries.
Tang Guozhen accepted Fang Ce's request for surrender. As for the treatment after surrender, Tang Guozhen was not qualified to make claims. He could only assure Fang Ce that the treatment would not be bad.
Fang Ce didn't particularly care about this reply, because he had long ago inquired about the current situation of the generals who had surrendered to Wu Jun, and knew that all those surrendering factions had lived very well.
For example, Hong Chengchou, Dong Tianbao and others, after surrendering, can still be among the core high-level leaders of Wu Jun, which is quite rare.
You know, people like Wu Sangui who made super contributions to the Qing Dynasty were still just a general soldier at this time, and they didn't squeeze into the Qing court at all.
Wu Changqing not only gave preferential treatment to the Han surrenders, but even the Manchus could forgive him.
For example, Man Dahai and others, after surrendering as Manchus, can continue to lead troops to power.
These examples, without exception, prove Wu Jun's tolerance and their commitment to treat captives preferentially.
With these good reputation records, the generals of other forces are very trustworthy of Wu Changqing's promises and policies.
After taking over Yangzhou, the army behind can directly enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and land near Yangzhou, saving a lot of effort. Needless to say, all its materials have entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
For a time, the canal was densely packed with military ships, and other merchant ships evaded one after another.
"It's going to fight again."
The people on the merchant ship said with emotion.
Wu Jun's such a big move, naturally, can't hold back the spies of various forces.
The news that the main force of the Wu army had begun the Northern Expedition quickly spread it to other forces.
