I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

It was late at night, and Li Shaobin had not yet fallen asleep. He was still having a headache for tomorrow's war.

At this time, a personal soldier came to report, saying that Xu Yuxian was seeking an interview and that there was an important military situation.

Afterwards, Xu Yuxian brought a soldier into the tent and saluted, "General, this is the subordinate of Li Lianfan, the guerrilla general of the Green Camp in Jiujiang City, and he brought a message from Li Lianfan, hoping to surrender to our army. "

"Is this true? Why did you surrender to our army?"

Li Shaobin was overjoyed when he heard the words. When he was struggling to get Jiujiang, he didn't expect such a good thing to be delivered to his door.

At this time, his mood was the same as Cao Cao who saw Xu You, and he stood up to greet him without wearing any shoes.

"Reporting to the general, my soldiers in the green camp are often oppressed by the Manchu soldiers in the army, and the soldiers have many resentments. Now that the king is here, we must serve the king."

The liaison said very nicely, to work for Daming.

But everyone knew that the reason why Li Lianfan really wanted to surrender was probably because he couldn't hold it and wanted to find a way to survive.

Li Shaobin didn't even bother to point it out. After all, people want face, so giving them some face can make them worthwhile anyway.

"Then how are you going to surrender?"

Li Shaobin asked.

"My lord hopes to help the general, so I am ready to lead his subordinates to defect and help the general to break the city in the siege battle tomorrow."

the liaison said.

"However, according to my observation, when you were defending the city on the city wall, there were Eight Banner soldiers supervising the battle. Can you succeed when you defected?"

Li Shaobin continued to ask, he not only wanted to ask about the specific plan, but also to test the truth of the other party.

He will not easily believe that the other party really wants to cooperate with each other just because of the other party's words.

"My lord is willing to take a little risk, as long as the general can make a promise."

the liaison said.

His words made Li Shaobin feel at ease a lot. Since there are conditions, it means that he is sincere. From Li Shaobin's point of view, the promises Li Lianfan asked for were nothing more than official positions or military power, which were easy to discuss.

It can reduce the losses of the troops, and it is very cost-effective to send a few officials out.

"In the previous battles of our army, many wounded soldiers were shot wounded. Therefore, my family hopes that the wounded soldiers who surrendered can be treated after the meritorious service anyway."

Li Shaobin was a little surprised by the request of the liaison officer, which is really rare.

He thought for a while and said, "The medicine for the treatment of gunshot wounds is also extremely precious in our army. Of course, if you can help us break through Jiujiang, I can consider giving you medicines for 500 people."

Li Shaobin also didn't know the source of the bactericidal drug sulfonamide. He only knew that they couldn't manufacture this drug, and it was all obtained by Wu Changqing from special channels, and the quantity was limited.

He didn't know how many wounded soldiers Li Lianfan had. If there were a few thousand, he wouldn't dare to promise.

If sulfanilamide were used to treat the soldiers, then the soldiers who were not treated in the headquarters would not be able to rebel.

"Only five hundred copies?"

The liaison was stunned for a moment, this is too little.

"There is really no way to do this. To be honest, we can't manufacture this drug yet. It is all purchased by the Governor-General from overseas merchants. It is very expensive. This kind of thing can be verified after you surrender. I didn't lie to you. .

As long as General Li is willing to surrender anyway, in addition to the five hundred medicines, I can retain General Li's military power and give him the position of brigade commander. For soldiers anyway, they can also be directly adapted into the main force. "

Li Shaobin also felt that 500 was a little less, so he added some benefits.

"That's all there is to it."

The liaison officer estimated that Li Shaobin did not lie, and there was no point in bargaining.

In fact, now they want to surrender very urgently, even if there is no such medicine, Li Lianfan wants to surrender, they no longer want to fight that kind of tragic battle with Wu Jun.

Afterwards, Li Shaobin and Xu Yuxian chatted for a while alone, Li Lianfan, to judge whether the other party had the possibility of fraudulent surrender from the perspective of personality.

Xu Yuxian said that the possibility of fraudulent surrender is almost zero. Because the contradiction between the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners soldiers had always existed in the Qing army, there were many Han soldiers and generals who wanted to surrender.

At least, he knew a few, but he just couldn't find the chance to surrender. And his luck was better, he surrendered after being left behind last time.

In Xu Yuxian's view, Li Lianfan's surrender is very credible.

Hearing his judgment, Li Shaobin no longer hesitated, and sent someone to call the staff of the staff to discuss the focus of tomorrow's attack according to the position where Li Lianfan was stationed.

The next day, Wu Jun started shelling again early.

Luckedhun, who had only fallen asleep in the middle of the night, was awakened by the sound of the shelling and kicked the chamber pot away in anger.

He thought that yesterday's battle was so tragic, why should Wu Jun take a rest for a day or two? No wonder Wu Jun continued to siege the city today.

With this kind of strength, he was worried that the people under him would be overwhelmed.

"Are the boats ready?"

Lucked asked the personal soldiers, he had lost hope of defending Jiujiang, so he also arranged for the personal soldiers to prepare early. Once they couldn't hold it, they tried to escape to the north bank of the Yangtze River by boat.

As long as they fled to the north bank of the Yangtze River, they would be safe, and Luck Dehun didn't want to be captured.

Even if he is defeated, he will flee

Go back, instead of being the laughing stock of others like Azig.

"It's ready."

The soldier replied.

Afterwards, Lucked got dressed and prepared to go to the city wall to supervise the battle.

He didn't feel relieved if he didn't go there in person. Now the pressure on the army is too great, and accidents may occur at any time.

In the past, he would have abandoned the city and fled in this situation. This time there is really no way to escape, he can only insist with gritted teeth.

On the city wall, Wu Jun's artillery shells kept falling on another city wall.

Li Shaobin felt that one gap was still too small, and wanted to open another gap to create more pressure on the Qing army.

The same routine, a few hours later, that section of the city wall also collapsed with a bang.

Subsequently, the Wu army began a full-scale siege.

There is only one main attack point this time, and that is the southeast where Li Lianfan is stationed. As for the two gaps, they were used to confuse and contain the Qing army.

In view of the dangerous situation at the gap yesterday, today Luckethun dispatched more soldiers to the two gaps, and the proportion of the Eight Banners soldiers among the soldiers was larger than that of yesterday.

Luck Dehun was worried about the Green Battalion's will to fight, so he had to send the Eight Banners soldiers to undertake such an important task.

There are more Eight Banner soldiers in the gap, and naturally there are many fewer Eight Banner soldiers on the city wall.

To the southeast where Li Lianfan was stationed, there were less than a thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners, and their main role was to supervise the battle.

Looking at the dense Wu Jun, Li Lianfan felt nervous.

It's a high-risk job to have to defect before the battle.

If the Wu army did not rush to support in time, or if they were discovered by the Eight Banners in advance, their situation would be very dangerous.
