The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Chapter 100 Xun Ha: 3000 Ming Army infantry?Rubbish

"Sink the ship and seal the river!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Although the Minjiang River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, it is the largest river in Fujian. It is impossible to block the Minjiang waterway with only the dozen or so ships of the Han Navy Naval Camp.

Where did the rest of the boats come from?

Hu Qiyuan does not need to answer this question, everyone present also knows it.

"The waters of Min'an are one and a half miles wide. If we block this area with sunken ships, the Ming Navy will not be able to pass through. Naturally, the cannons on the Ming Army's warships will not be able to pose a threat to Fuzhou City."

Hu Qiyuan added again.

After Zhang Zhongju thought for a long time, he finally nodded and agreed to this method of blocking the Minjiang River waterway.

For now, they really have no other way to stop the Ming Navy.

However, once this method is implemented, the boatmen and merchants near Fuzhou and Min'an will be in misery.

Because the situation was urgent, countless Qing soldiers rushed directly into their homes, threw down a document requisitioning the ship, and tried to force the ship away.

And what the document said was that after the war, he would go to the governor's office to ask for ship compensation.

Chinese culture is vast and profound, and the word "ask" is used quite well!

Ask the Governor for compensation?

How many people dare to ask for it because they think they have a long life?

The governor-general of Fujian and Zhejiang can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. Zhejiang is better, after all, there is still a governor there to support it, but Fujian?

Zhang Zhongju’s official position is governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and governor of Fujian!

Except for Hu Qiyuan, who is in charge of the Eight Banners Army, there is no one more awesome than him in Fujian.

Even if the governor gives you compensation for the ship, he will undoubtedly be ranked in the Palace of Hell.

The dignified governors of the two provinces want to kill you, a humble citizen, which is no more difficult than trampling on an ant.

Therefore, if this ship was requisitioned by the Qing army, it would basically be gone.

Moreover, there is no telling who will win this battle.

For a time, everyone with boats was clamoring for help.

"You can't do this! This boat is all my property!"

"Master! Master! I borrowed money to buy this boat. If you take it away, how will I live?"

The people's cries for mercy did not make the Qing army stop their actions, but the blind obstruction made some Qing soldiers use their knives.

During the operation, a faint smell of blood wafted in the air on both sides of the Min River.

The Qing army moved quickly to block the Minjiang waterway. As the civilian ships they snatched one after another were dug through the bottom of the ship and sank into the river, an artificial reef zone nearly half a mile long was soon formed in the Min'an waters. .

The densely packed and crooked masts and shipwrecks sticking out of the water made it impossible for even small bird boats to pass, let alone large ships.

The Qing army's shipwreck and river closure operation was very successful. When the Ming army cleared the Qing army's forts and moved upstream, the Minjiang River waterway had been completely blocked.

Looking at the waterway full of sunken ships, Xie Xingsheng knew very well that the naval fleet would not be able to pose a threat to Fuzhou in a short time.

Considering that so many of our own warships are crowded on this not-so-spacious river, it is extremely dangerous.

So he could only put down the accompanying infantry brigade and order a small number of ships to stay and clear the waterway, while the rest of the ships returned south to Xiamen to carry the rest of the First Infantry Division.

Because the Ming army wanted to ensure logistical supplies, the leased merchant ships had now been deployed to transport supplies.

Therefore, the current Ming fleet cannot carry many infantry at a time.

The main fleet of the Ming army retreated. This action finally made the frightened and upright officials in Fuzhou City let go of their tense hearts.

After all, the Ming Navy's powerful ships and artillery put too much pressure on them.

……

Min'an City is two kilometers behind the area where the Qing army sealed the river. It is geographically located at the throat of the main road in eastern Fuzhou. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, it has been an important gateway for land transportation between Fuzhou and eastern Fujian and for access to the sea.

Currently, the Qing army has more than 5000 troops stationed here. It is the only important military location with heavy troops stationed in the surrounding area besides the main city of Fuzhou.

Min'an Cooperative Office.

"Sir Vice Admiral, the Ming Navy has been stopped. Now the main force of the Ming Navy has retreated, leaving only some warships clearing the channel."

"In addition, a 3000-strong Ming army infantry has landed at Tingjiang and is currently approaching our Min'an direction."

A Qing soldier reported.

Xun Ha, the Min'an deputy general of the Qing army, looked happy after hearing the report.

"General Hu's plan is indeed effective! The Ming Navy cannot cross Min'an, so Fuzhou can rest easy."

"Hmph, without the support of the navy, a mere 3000 infantrymen would dare to attack our country, Min'an."

"Instruct the Zhongzi Camp and Yongzi Camp to assemble the cavalry troops and follow this general to meet the Ming army! I would like to see who this Ming army commander is, how courageous he is!" Xun Ha said disdainfully. .

Xun Ha looked down on the 3000 infantrymen of the Ming Army because the "loyalty" and "yong" camps in his hands were all cavalry battalions, with a total of more than 2000 cavalry troops.

Under normal circumstances, the ratio of infantry to horsemen in the Green Camp of the Qing Army is generally around 5:1 to 6:1.

However, Min'an is located in a military hub, so the ratio of infantry and cavalry in Xunha's alliance is much higher than that of other green camps, reaching an astonishing 3:2!

Although it is still not as good as the Eight Banners soldiers, such a high proportion of infantry and cavalry is much higher than that of the average green battalion.

I have a concept that to deal with 3000 Ming army infantry, the Qing army, let alone 2000 cavalry, probably only needs a few hundred light cavalry to massacre these 3000 people.

After all, the Ming army and the Tatars have been fighting in the Liaodong area for so many years. Except for city defense battles, the Ming army has almost never won a field battle.

Therefore, Xun Ha did not pay attention to these 3000 Ming troops at all.

In addition, Xun Ha not only wanted to eat these 3000 Ming army infantry, but also looked covetously at the Ming army warships left to clear the waterway in the Minjiang River.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to use the small cannons in his hands to attack the Ming army warships.

That is no different from courting death.

His idea was a sneak attack at night!

Although the area where the sunken ship closed the river cannot pass medium and large ships, small single-sailed sampans such as arson boats are not affected.

Although Hu Qiyuan withdrew the medium and large warships from the Min'an Naval Camp, he did not take away the small sampans such as the arson boats.

Xun Ha planned to use these arson boats to row through the sunken area at night and ram the Ming warships!

First destroy the infantry of the Ming Army, then burn the navy of the Ming Army!

Just thinking about this made Xun Ha extremely excited.

Once this matter is completed, then Xunha's official rank should be raised no matter what!

General soldier?Deputy Chief?

Everything is possible!

Maybe Kangxi would have promoted him to admiral as soon as he was happy.
