The first day of April is a day worth remembering. In a few years, this day will become the expedition day named by Zhang Lei. Of course, in other continents, they usually call this day Disaster Day. Of course, this is all Let¡¯s not mention it now.
The sun is shining brightly on the beach, and the number of 100,000 people is not small. The beach is covered with darkness. Nearly a hundred ships, large and small, have been moored at the pier. These ships are led by Qin Luofeng and Xu Bo, who are preparing to lead 40,000 people from Depart from Shanhaiguan.
"I have been waiting for this day for more than ten years. More than ten years ago, I was already thinking that one day, I would be able to command thousands of troops and go to all parts of the world. Now, this ideal of mine will be achieved by you. Let¡¯s make it happen.¡± Zhang Lei was filled with emotion and his expression was filled with anger.
His emotions seemed to have infected everyone, especially Li Zicheng. It was only today that he firmly believed that what Zhang Lei said was true, and that he might really make a difference in another world. As for the Ming Dynasty, I left it to Zhang Lei to think about.
"Master Zhang, give me the order. How are we going to go next?" Li Zicheng said impatiently.
Zhang Lei glanced at him and said: "Okay, it's better to start early, otherwise it will take too long and you won't be able to go far today. Come on, come on. Now let's take a look. This is the map I drew. That¡¯s what you will face next.¡±
Two people suddenly raised a very high bamboo pole, and then unfolded the two bamboo poles. It was indeed a huge map. The reason for this was to allow as many people to see it as possible.
"Come on, everyone, come and see, this is where we are now. This is Shengjing where the Tatars are locked up, and going east from Shengjing is North Korea. I think you already know this. What I want to say next, Note that the place I am going to talk about next is further north than the northernmost point of North Korea. If it can go all the way east, it will reach the end of this continent, which is the end of the land under our feet. Don¡¯t ask me why I know , I just know that this doesn¡¯t need to be explained to you. And I just know that what I said is correct. Well, now Li Zicheng and Lao Qi¡¯s team will wait at this end point. Because the end point of this continent will be It is the starting point of the next continent. Now, Qin Luofeng and the others will board the ship from where we are standing now. I believe you will be more familiar with this area than me. After all, it will not take a day or two to hang out here. . But what I want to say is that you have bypassed North Korea and the route after Japan. It is still far, far away, but there is no obstacle, which is good to see. You follow the map I gave you , will meet together at the easternmost edge of the entire continent. Then when you cross that sea, what will appear in front of you will be a brand new world."
Zhang Lei said a lot in one breath. I basically said everything I could say without missing a beat.
After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They had never thought it would be like this, except of course those who had seen the map published by Zhang Lei, because Zhang Lei had already depicted the entire world on that map. Outline.
"Master Zhang, how do we get to another continent? We have to pass through a sea, which should be very far away." Jiang Yuyang asked.
Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said: "Not far, very close. Very close. You can see the other side from here." How wide can the Bering Strait be? It's only a hundred and seventy miles away. Although being able to see each other is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that they are really very close.
After hearing this, everyone seemed to be visibly relieved. It seems that this task is really easy. Zhang Lei saw that a long time had passed and said: "Okay, that's all. If you encounter something else, it's something I can't predict. I'm not a god, and there's no one who can figure it out." ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, the horn of charge floated in the sky, and the sound of firecrackers also sounded. Qin Luofeng directed everyone to board the ship, and Li Zicheng and Jiang Yuyang also led their men to embark on the journey. The journey.
One hundred thousand people are so large that it took several hours just to board the ship. I'm afraid they will still be wandering around here tonight.
But this is no longer what Zhang Lei cares about. What he is more concerned about comes from Shengjing in the north, which is the home base of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. According to the evolution of history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time was already actively preparing to go south. Young Shunzhi inherited Nurhaci's will, and with the assistance of Dorgon, waved the flag of going south. Then Li Zicheng opened Shanhaiguan and led the Qing army to enter Of course, this is the original history, and now It has been completely turned upside down. The current Ming Dynasty, to be precise, should be Zhang Lei, with strong soldiers and horses, who knows how much more powerful than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The butterfly effect says that if a butterfly flaps its wings in America,It could cause a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. Now Zhang Lei is that butterfly. His arrival has completely changed the Ming Dynasty, and history is rolling in another unknown direction that is inconsistent with the known.
The corrupt officials who originally led to the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty have been completely eliminated by Zhang Lei using various excuses and actions. The domestic rebellion that originally shook the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and brought it to its complete collapse has been put down by Zhang Lei with thunderous means. Li Zicheng, who originally led the Qing army into the pass, is now ambitiously preparing to conquer another world.
What happens next? Zhang Lei couldn't predict too much, but he knew what he was going to do next, and that was enough. The time has come, and he is about to start an unprecedented war. The enemy is the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the news that Zhang Lei suddenly sent out 100,000 people had attracted the attention of two groups. One was naturally the Manchu and Qing government. At first, they thought Zhang Lei was going to conquer them, so they put up a defensive gesture, only to find that it was a false alarm.
¡°And who else is there besides Chongzhen on the other side? Although Chongzhen knew that he could no longer control Zhang Lei, so he gave up, but it was absolutely impossible for him not to pay attention to what Zhang Lei was going to do. When he heard that Zhang Lei had recruited 100,000 people to go north, he happily thought that he It is time to fight to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. From now on, with this last big enemy removed, he, the emperor, can sit back and relax. But like the Manchu Tatars, he also made a mistake. Half a month after the departure of these 100,000 people, Chongzhen was completely unable to detect the whereabouts of these people.
Zhang Lei will naturally not be idle anymore. One hundred thousand people came at once. For a scale of two million people, it can be said to be a drizzle, and it will not have any impact at all. Zhang Lei also began to assign tasks to the 1.9 million people who remained. In the following days, he began to dispatch troops to places such as Songshan and Jinzhou in a planned way. If there was really a fight with the Qing army, where would It will be the main battlefield and the first supply depot, and Zhang Lei must build them into an unbreakable bridgehead.
Ever since Qin Luofeng and the others left Shanhaiguan, the wharf of Shanhaiguan has become even busier. Zhang Lei collected hundreds of large and small ships and did nothing else except transport soldiers. Two hundred thousand people were transported from Shanhaiguan to Dalian.
Led by Rodman, these 200,000 people gathered in Dalian and walked north along the east coast to Dandong and then to Tonghua. After arriving in Tonghua, they continued walking north and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
When Zhang Lei transported troops to Dalian, Dorgon had already received the news and sent a large number of spies out to find out the whereabouts of these people. At first, he was very nervous, thinking that they were coming to Shengjing, but Later they discovered that these people seemed to be following the previous group, so they ignored them.
But something they never dreamed of happened at this time. The 200,000 people led by Rodman passed through Tonghua and went north to Baishan, Jilin, and the most bordering place of the Ming Dynasty. It was inaccessible and naturally Their presence will not be discovered.
And another army, with a total of 300,000 people, set out from Shanhaiguan and headed for Chifeng.
At this moment, Dorgon finally felt that something was wrong. Further northwest from Chifeng, he reached the Xilin Gol Prairie, and the grassland was the life source of the cavalry.
The entire Qing army began to mobilize, millions of troops began to gather, and tension and anger spread. Judging from the number of people, it seems that if there is a war, it will definitely be an unprecedented one. The greatest battle of all time!
But Dorgon now had confidence. His confidence came from the military factory built in Shengjing. After buying the blueprints from the merchants, they started manufacturing weapons non-stop. Their enthusiasm was higher than that of Zhang Lei. It's too late, now, Zhang Lei and his friends have three-eyed muskets, they also have them, Zhang Lei and his friends have cannons, they also have them, they also have cavalry, but Zhang Lei doesn't have them!
So, they felt that they had saved up for long enough, and it was time to regain their confidence from Zhang Lei.
When Zhang Lei learned that Dorgon was going to fight with him, he was not surprised but overjoyed. He responded positively. All the intelligence systems went crazy and he began to direct military operations in various places.
The disappeared Rodman army suddenly appeared in a place called Siping, only three hundred miles away from Shengjing. The group of people who arrived at Chifeng suddenly turned east and came directly towards Shengjing!
Only then did Dorgon realize that he had already been surrounded by Zhang Lei. He had no choice but to order to reduce the scope of the battle and huddle in an area centered on Shengjing.Xin, with these cannons and three-eyed guns, and with the help of solid city walls, Zhang Lei has nothing to do against him!
But since Zhang Lei has taken action, he naturally has a way to deal with it. There is no doubt about it. After all the troops had taken action, he put on his armor, mounted his majestic horse, and headed directly towards Shengjing accompanied by the fierce general Le Qiu. Behind him were not soldiers, but iron lumps with a very strange shape that emitted black smoke when moving. And this iron lump was Zhang Lei's newly built tank!
The long-planned war has begun, and Zhang Lei showed his final trump card. He will wipe out these people in one fell swoop without even having the chance to return to Tunguska as savages! (To be continued.)
