I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 663: Meeting with Kunming

The next day, as they passed a valley, they were ambushed again.

This time, they had time to install bayonets, but unfortunately the Ming army didn't get close at all this time, just throwing some big rocks and fireballs at the top of the canyon.

Even, there are a few hand grenades.

It is also a loss that there are not many, otherwise they would be quite a headache.

After being beaten for a while, Hua Jun organized a counterattack.

Relying on the advantages of weapons, even if they were in the valley, the killing of the enemy with guns was far greater than the killing of the Ming army to them.

So, after the Hua army fired back for a while, the Ming army began to retreat again.

This made Li Lianfan half-dead. When they dealt with the enemy's small-scale harassment tactics, they really didn't have a good way.

Of course, the Ming army had no good way to take them.

These harassments have little effect other than hindering the speed of the Hua army and angering the Hua army.

Relying on this small-scale ambush and sneak attack, they were lucky enough to be able to kill dozens or hundreds of Chinese troops at one time.

For an army of tens of thousands of people, it would be no problem if one or two hundred people died.

After driving away the Ming army, the 24th Division continued to advance, but only increased the detection range of the scouts.

On the third day, they did not encounter an ambush again.

Because Zhang Tongchang had received news that Zhu Youlang had withdrawn to Dali.

This made him angry, and he almost made a rude remark in front of everyone and scolded the emperor.

They did their best to resist on the front line, but Zhu Youlang not only tried to give support and encouragement, but kept running away. This is really chilling.

Not only was he chilled, but other generals and soldiers were chilled.

At this time, even if he continued to ask the soldiers to fight, those soldiers would not agree.

Zhang Tongchang gave up the harassment, retired to Bijie, and discussed the future with his subordinates.

"Surrender, what else is there to consider?"

The subordinate Ding Kui said.

"Surrender at this time, I'm afraid it won't end well. The previous sneak attack, I'm afraid it completely angered them, and even those prisoners were beheaded."

Zhang Tongchang said helplessly.

Knowing that Zhu Youlang would do such an outrageous thing, he simply gave up making trouble for the Hua Army before, and he might have benefited by surrendering directly.

"Then what can I do, do I go north to join Zhang Xianzhong?"

Another groaned.

They followed Zhu Youlang, nominally loyal to the orthodox.

And Zhang Xianzhong is also a traitor like Wu Changqing.

Going to take refuge with Zhang Xianzhong was far inferior to taking refuge with Wu Changqing.

After all, Wu Changqing's strength is stronger, and he will not encounter the current predicament in the future if he takes refuge in Wu Changqing.

As for Zhang Xianzhong, I am afraid that in the near future, in the face of Dahua's attack, he will face another choice like now.

"So, let's take refuge in Dahua. The big deal is not to be rich and rich, and go to Nanjing to be a docile citizen of Dahua. With the money we have collected, there should be no problem in spending your old age in Nanjing."

Ding Kui didn't want to toss any more. He fought all his life, and it was a blessing to be alive until now. He didn't want to live that kind of worrying life again.

There was a heated debate at the scene, some said that they were going to join Dahua, and some said that they were going to join Zhang Xianzhong.

Others said they would join forces with He Tengjiao and continue to fight against China.

What's more, he proposed to enter the mountain and become the king of the bandit mountain.

After a heated discussion, the number of people who surrendered to the Dahua faction finally prevailed.

Other suggestions are more or less unreliable.

To take refuge in Dahua is only to lose all power, but at least one's life can be saved.

Moreover, it will be a long time in Japan, and if you try to operate it in the future, there may not be no chance for a comeback.

Like Zhang Tongchang, there is no need to worry too much about the future. After all, he is a descendant of Zhang Juzheng. When he arrives in Nanjing, people in the official circles will give him more or less face.

There are also many officials in the Nanjing officialdom who have interpersonal relationships with him, and they may be able to help him at that time.

When the 24th Division arrived at Bijie, they thought there would be a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army will surrender directly.

This, some generals in the 24th division were quite unhappy, because they accepted their surrender, so they wouldn't care about the previous sneak attack.

And Zhang Tongchang's sneak attack made them very uncomfortable.

In the end, Li Lianfan still proceeded from the overall situation and agreed to the surrender request of Zhang Tongchang's department.

If you don't accept it, at least hundreds of people will be killed or injured in the siege, which is not necessary.

After accepting Zhang Tongchang's surrender, there was no longer any obstacle to their journey to Kunming.

Along the way, Zhang Tongchang took the lead in shouting, and the defenders at those levels basically chose to surrender.

However, they were still one step behind Lu Guangzu.

Lu Guangzu had arrived in Kunming one day before them, and executed many high-ranking officials in Kunming.

"Master Lu, why did you kill these officials?"

Li Lianfan was puzzled by this. They didn't have such a tradition before, and they seldom killed civilian officials unless they were diehards.

"These people refuse to surrender, and they scold His Majesty for being a traitor and a traitor. They are simply outrageous and deserve to be killed."

Lu Guangzu said.

He was just worried that the Nanjing side knew that Zhu Youlang had sent messengers, so he killed some insiders.

Regarding Lu Guangzu's remarks, Li Lianfan was somewhat puzzled.

However, it's just that some of the enemy's civilian officials died, and Li Lianfan didn't take it too seriously.

What he cares about now is Zhu Youlang's whereabouts.

"Master Lu is tired all the way, why don't you stay in Kunming to rest, my department is fortunate to have a hard time and go to Dali."

Li Lianfan laughed.

"No, no, we're one step ahead, and we've already rested for a whole. On the contrary, it's Brother Li, who has traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and the brothers must be exhausted.

Leave the drudgery of going to Dali to me. "

Lu Guangzu is in a hurry. Now he not only wants to take credit, but also to prevent things from being exposed, so he is very urgent.

"This, I'm afraid the people below me will not agree."

Li Lianfan was helpless. He knew that everyone was fortunately running for thousands of miles for the sake of Zhu Youlang's head, and no one could give up at this time.

"It is impossible for the brothers below me to agree. Moreover, our army entered Kunming first, and this credit should belong to us."

Lu Guangzu and Li Lianfan continued to argue for a while, but no result was reached.

Early in the morning the next day, before dawn, Li Lianfan woke up as a soldier to cook, and wanted to get ahead of Lu Guangzu and set off first.

However, a soldier soon came to report that Lu Guangzu's department had set off for more than an hour.

"This bastard, you must be crazy if you want to take credit, and ordered to cook quickly and march quickly after eating."

Li Lianfan gasped.
