I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Wu Jun advanced all the way, arrived at the eastern suburbs of Jinhua, and stationed here.

Here, Xue Guiren met the confidant sent by Qu Liang.

Qu Liang wanted to surrender and was willing to cooperate with Wu Jun. This was an unexpected joy, and Xue Guiren naturally welcomed it with both hands.

After agreeing on the plan, Xue Guiren did not attack immediately, but sent a messenger to see Zhu Dadian.

The cooperation between the inside and the outside is just a backup plan, and he has a better trick to persuade him to surrender.

When they were in Hangzhou, Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying sent someone their handwritten letter to Liu Hansan, saying that if they encountered Zhu Dadian, they could hand over the two handwritten letters to him to persuade him to surrender.

Now, it seems that these two letters are really useful.

Zhu Dadian, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dacheng have a good personal relationship. The two of them want to rely on their previous relationship, understand it with affection, and move it with reason.

The letter was delivered to Zhu Dadian, but after seeing it, Zhu Dadian tore the letter into pieces, and then drove Xue Guiren's messenger away.

He made good friends with Ruan Dacheng and others, which was based on the premise that everyone was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that they are their own masters, he is no longer willing to call Ma Shiying and the others brothers.

In history, Zhu Dadian also tore up Ruan Dacheng's letter of persuasion to surrender, and was loyal to Daming wholeheartedly.

He is a bit pedantic, and of course, because of his age.

At his age, he basically sees it very openly, has no desires, and just wants to keep a reputation as a loyal king.

If he were twenty years younger, maybe it was another idea.

Zhu Dadian did not surrender, and Xue Guiren didn't care. He arranged for the army to rest for a day, and he launched an attack the next day.

There were no artillery pieces and no air force, but Xue Rengui didn't panic at all.

Today's Ming army has become a frightened bird, how much more fighting spirit can there be?

As long as you get to the top of the city, the defenders will flee in a hurry, and Jinhua can declare that they have won.

The Flintlocks took the lead, suppressing the enemy and covering the others to build a wooden pontoon.

This is already Wu Jun's standard siege routine, and he is very skilled.

Zhu Dadian also wanted the archers to fight back, but the result was that they didn't dare to raise their heads again.

Seeing this, Zhu Dadian sighed and couldn't help but think of Ruan Dacheng's handwritten letter to him.

In the letter, Ruan Dacheng described the current situation of Nanjing to him, told him all kinds of incredible things, and persuaded him to be aware of current affairs.

Save your life, go to Nanjing in your lifetime, see and see those novel things, and it's not a waste of your life.

In fact, Zhu Dadian was quite moved.

After all, Nanjing depicted by Ruan Dacheng is just like the fairyland of heaven.

More importantly, Wu Changqing was also a Han Chinese, so he would not have any infamy when he surrendered to Wu Changqing.

Now those surrendered ministers in Nanjing, all of them have had a very nourishing life.

However, in order to keep his fame, he finally restrained his curiosity.

Everyone's pursuit is different. Some people pursue material life, while others pursue a little spiritual enjoyment.

In order to ensure that he is a loyal minister, Zhu Dadian completely disregarded the lives of his children and descendants.

Whether this is loyalty or stupid loyalty is hard to say.

It didn't take long for Wu Jun to build the pontoon bridge with little damage, and the soldiers carrying the siege ladder were approaching. Among them, some elites quietly approached the city gate.

Following the launch of several flares, there was a sudden commotion in Jinhua City.

"Kill, rush over."

The rebels in the city have rioted and are taking the city gates.

This group of rebels, at least four or five hundred people, rushed to the city gate together, and the Ming army at the city gate could not stand it at all.

In less than a cup of tea, the city gate opened wide, and Wu troops outside the city began to pour in.

At the same time, the Wu army in other places began to climb along the siege ladder, and the Ming army in the city was already in panic.

The city gates have already been lost. Does this kind of city wall still make sense?

Just when they were stunned, Wu Jun's grenadiers threw the grenade up and blew them up.

The soldiers who were still in a daze, immediately dispersed, and each fled for their lives.

At this time, the city walls were already in chaos and panic. No one was in charge of organizing the resistance against the enemy, and even the officers took the lead to escape.

The city gate and the city wall are the psychological defense lines of the defenders. Once these two points are broken through, there is no need to continue to defend the city.

The soldiers who were still alive at this time were not thinking about how to defend the city, but how to find an opportunity to surrender.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Dadian was tired.

"Everyone, let's escape."

Zhu Dadian wanted to achieve his reputation as a loyal monarch, but he couldn't force his subordinates to die like this.

So he allowed his men to surrender or flee.

After he finished speaking, he took advantage of others' surprise and wiped his neck with a knife.

This is the real suicide. It is very difficult for others to react to those who want to commit suicide.

The kind of people who shout before committing suicide to remind their subordinates to come and stop them, but they never thought of committing suicide, such as Hong Chengchou and others.

"General."

Everyone politely cried a few times, meaning something.

Next, the surrender that should surrender, the escape that should flee.

There are also people who follow Zhu Dadian, not many, just two.

Moreover, both are from

Little followed his personal soldiers.

As for the generals, there was not a single suicide follower.

It is not bad to have two, but in future generations, it is impossible to have half of them.

The Ming army had no commander in chief, no one to command the remaining generals, and no one to stop the fleeing soldiers.

This city is defended, as if there is no defense.

A large number of Ming soldiers surrendered one after another, and those officers also brought their respective subordinates to form an organized surrender.

There are still some sporadic resistances, not because they are loyal to the monarch, but because they are stupid, they did not notice the changes on the battlefield in time, and they are still stupidly resisting.

As everyone knows, other places have surrendered.

These stupid people naturally lost their lives.

Wu Jun would not be polite to them and would kill them if they did not surrender.

Soon, the sound of fighting in Jinhua City gradually weakened.

This siege battle was not fierce at all, and it was very easy to win.

According to statistics after the war, less than 100 people were killed in the Wu army, and a little more died in the Ming army, but only about 300 or 400 people.

Zhu Dadian of the Ming army chose to commit suicide. Fang Guoan also chose to commit suicide when he learned the news of the defeat in his hospital bed.

Jinhua won, and Quzhou in the west did not need to attack, as long as a team of people was sent over to take over, there were not many defenders there.

At this point, the war in Jinhua also came to an end, and the central and northern regions of Zhejiang fell into the hands of Wu Jun.

Xue Guiren left a small number of troops to garrison, and then returned to Nanjing with the troops.

Like Liu Hansan, he has to rush back to attend the enthronement ceremony.

He didn't want to miss this once-in-a-century event.
