Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

As soon as the military discussion was over, Zhu Heqi called military division Zhuge into his study and continued to talk with him in secret.

The topic of the two secret talks is of course inseparable from the military affairs on the front line in Guangzhou.

Although they didn't mention the possibility of Shang Kexi's return to the army during the military meeting just now, they have already thought of it... It's hard to guess Geng Jingzhong's motives, maybe he was just pushed by Kangxi to deal with some errands.

But Shang Kexi's possible actions are nothing more than storming Jieyang or returning to Guangzhou.

Shang Kexi has no chance of winning by forcefully attacking Jieyang. Now there are [-] Ming troops on Jieyang Island, and Qiu Hui can send another [-] reinforcements at any time. He can defend no matter what.

So it is quite possible for Shang Kexi to take a false shot in Chaoyang and return to the army.

"My lord," Zhuge Sanhe said thoughtfully, "it is impossible for Shang Kexi to turn back from Jieyang with the whole army... 2 people are considered a lot, and in order to speed up the march, it is impossible to carry artillery.

Do you think it is possible for us to intercept his army outside Guangzhou?If it can be defeated outside the city, then the city of Guangzhou can be captured without a fight! "

Zhu Heqi frowned, and said in a low voice, "We can gather at most 6000... no, [-] people, including about [-] new recruits. But there are [-] or [-] gunners manned by Portuguese gunners." Foreign guns, and our own sugar guns!"

Zhuge Sanhe nodded, and said: "There is still a chance of winning... at least [-]%! Master, do you want to fight?"

"Fight!" Zhu Hechi gritted his teeth, "Shang Kexi dares to bet that I dare to follow... As long as Shang Kexi is defeated, Wu Sangui will raise troops, and the world will be in chaos!"

……

At this moment, thousands of miles away, in Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was discussing the war situation in Guangdong and the flag throwing by the Portuguese in Macao with a few academicians in the South Study Room.

An expedited [-]-mile courier service has already been opened between Guangdong and Beijing, so Emperor Kangxi would be able to know the changes in the battle situation in Guangdong after seven or eight days.

Now he already knew about Shang Kexi's sudden attack on Jieyang, Zhu Heqi's surprise attack on Macau, and Zhu Heyi's victory after successfully capturing Macau and marching towards the capital city of Guangzhou.

At the same time, Shang Kexi also reported the news that Wu Sanwei was defeated by the third prince Zhu with a demon method, and hundreds of soldiers were lost, and his whereabouts were also unknown!

In addition, Fan Chengmo, governor of Fujian, also reported that 130 and eight people, including Portuguese soldier Rotoni and Archbishop Sanpaolo, fled to Zhangzhou on a Dutch merchant ship, and wanted to come to Beijing to throw the flag because they admired the holiness of the Qing emperor. .

It is of course a good thing for Xiyi to throw the flag... So before Emperor Kangxi discussed the troublesome battle situation with his subordinates, he even called for Nan Huairen and asked him to write in Latin the words led by Governor of Macau Rotoni and Bishop Sanpaolo. The written above table was translated into Chinese and told to the officials present.

Chapter 158 Kangxi Is Not Afraid of Demonic Laws!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, among the Portuguese people who have come and returned this time, there are more than a dozen of them who have real talents and real learning!"

After reading the list of Rotoni and Sampaolo, Nan Huairen said to Emperor Kangxi with joy, "For example, Rotoni and Sampaolo are Antonio Romario and Paul Santos in the list. They are well-known scholars in the West. There are also 11 famous warriors in the West, including De Figo, Fernando Conceicao, Joao Ronaldo, Peter Pinto, Paul Gomez, and Antonio Capuccio. , or proficient in firearms, or good at sailing. With their assistance, the imperial court will definitely be able to wipe out the traitors in Guangdong soon!"

I have to say that these Portuguese surnames sound very bluffing.Romario, Ronaldo, Figo, Pinto, Gomez... If these descendants are passed on to the 21st century, they will all appear on the national football roster, and they will scare their opponents to pee!

But now the competition between the Ming and Qing Dynasties is not about football, but fighting skills... fighting skills, fighting skills!

After listening to Nan Huairen's words, Emperor Kangxi just nodded slightly, "Then let them go to Beijing as soon as possible. After I see them, there will be arrangements."

Nan Huairen quickly took over the quarrel and said with a smile: "Then I will thank His Majesty for your kindness on their behalf."

Kangxi said: "Nan Huairen, did that Luo Dongni and Sang Paulo mention to you the evil methods of the fake third grandson of Zhu and Zhuge's evil way?"

"Your majesty is holy," Nan Huairen said as he took out a folded letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it over with both hands, "This is a letter from Bishop Sanpao to my minister. The matter of the Heavenly Thunder demon..."

"What's the matter with this smoke demon?"

Emperor Kangxi frowned tightly, there are more and more demonic spells now!

"Reporting to the Emperor," Nan Huairen said, "It seems that this smoke demon method can't hurt people directly, it's just to cover the sight."

Kangxi said in his heart: "This is terrible! You can't even see it. How can you use guns, bows and arrows to kill the thief? Shang Zhixin's apology notes said that the rebel first used the smoke demon method to confuse Zeng Qizhao's big formation, and then used the fireball to kill the thief. Burn it with the demonic method, so that Zeng Qizhao's army was defeated and died..."

Seeing that Emperor Kangxi did not speak, the courtiers and servants below were of course also heavy-hearted. The atmosphere in the South Study Room became more and more depressing, so depressing that people could not breathe.

However, Emperor Kangxi did not remain silent for too long, and after a while, the cloud that permeated his face gradually dissipated.

"Hehe, isn't it just some low-level demon arts? Since ancient times, it has never been heard that anyone has won the world with demon arts and Taoism. Even if Zhuge Wuhou has the art of reaching the sky, the last third of the world did not belong to the Shu Han! Didn't Wei Jun stop him when he came out of Qishan? As for Zhang Jiao, Fang La and others, they used some subtle tricks to confuse people's hearts. It’s still bowing and horseback riding and shooting, and it’s still the hearts and support of scholars and bureaucrats in the world, not Taoism and magic. Zhu San’s and Zhuge’s demonic skills will definitely not achieve great things!"

Emperor Kangxi's rambling words really cheered up the depressed mood of the group of ministers and servants in the South Study Room.

What he said is also right. Since ancient times, who has relied on Taoism and sorcery to survive the world?

Kangxi paused, and then said: "Since ancient times, most of the disputes in the world have been between the north and the south, and the south and the north were only Zhu Yuanzhang once. But Zhu Yuanzhang took Jiangning as the root, not Guangdong as the root.

Guangdong, a wild and barren land, has never been a place to use military force since ancient times... Zhu San started in Guangdong, how could he achieve great things?What's more, he doesn't have all of Guangdong now, but only occupies seven counties including Jieyang, Chaoyang, Huilai, Chenghai, Xiangshan, Shunde, and Nanhai.Even if we can go one step further and enter the city of Guangzhou, so what?In my Qing Dynasty, I have some generals and some military expenses, so I just have to grind with him slowly.With his little magic and Taoism skills, I don't even bother to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to go south to compete with him! "

Kangxi is Kangxi... who knows how to use Han people to beat Han people best!

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners just won't send them!

Don't say that Guangzhou is in a hurry, even if Zhu Hechi entered Guangzhou, Kangxi would not send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers!

In the original history, Wu Sangui fought as far as the Yangtze River on the eastern front and Shaanxi on the western front.Kangxi still didn't let the main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers go to the front line to find Wu Sangui to fight for their lives... The main force of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers didn't move, and the old traitor Wu Sangui was a coward and traitor, and he didn't dare to risk his life at all.

Kangxi then used a small number of Eight Banners soldiers to escort a large number of Green Battalion soldiers to fight Wu Sangui in a war of attrition, trying to hurt others with his own.

Although Wu Sangui didn't suffer much from the fights and was still very strong, but the old traitor was getting old, and finally died of diarrhea, and there was no successor, so Emperor Kangxi won a big victory for nothing.

If Kangxi had rushed to send the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to Hunan from the very beginning, he might have killed [-] to [-] soldiers in one battle, and then all the green battalion soldiers in the world would have to jump back, and the Qing Dynasty would definitely be gone.

And this will meet Zhu San who may be better than Wu Sangui, Kangxi still uses one move to control the Han and another move to hurt others.

Of course, Kangxi didn't take this "book" out of his own pocket. The main thing was that the big and small vassals under him were fighting Zhu San for their lives. He, the emperor, is still sitting on the Diaoyutai!

But now that the still gratifying book seems to be not enough to pay, who should continue to play?

Emperor Kangxi thought of this, and asked the ministers and servants below: "Although Zhu San's rebels can't achieve great things, they have temporarily gained the upper hand in Guangdong by virtue of their low-level demon skills. Although King Pingnan and Al Dagong I tried my best, but it was still difficult to resist, it seems that I need to send another helper... Who do you think is more suitable?"

Kangxi's words sound good too, although Shang Kexi's monk Zhixin has been defeated repeatedly, but Kangxi has no intention of blaming him.

Moreover, it was clearly stated that he was going to send a helper... to help Shang Kexi, not to replace Shang Kexi!So Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin can rest assured!

Since it wasn't to replace Shang Kexi, then Wu Sangui definitely couldn't move.

Then who will go?

"Your Majesty," the chief academician Tuhai stood up, "my slave recommends General Sun Yanling of Guangxi to lead troops to aid Guangdong."

"Sun Yanling?" Kangxi thought for a while, "Can he do it?"

Tu Hai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know if Sun Yanling can do it or not... you have to ask Ge Ge about it."

"Ask Gege?" Emperor Kangxi always felt that something was wrong, "Tuhai, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Slave complies with the order." Tu Hai smiled, "Which one of the Han vassal kings in the Qing Dynasty do you think deserves the most credit?"

"Of course it's Wu..." Emperor Kangxi had already understood what Tu Hai meant, and immediately changed his words: "It's Kong Youde! It's Dingnan King Kong Youde!"

"The emperor is holy!" Tu Hai flattered loudly, so there was no need to say anything else.

With Emperor Kangxi's IQ, of course he knew what Tuhaizhi's move was?

And it's really inconvenient for Tu Hai to finish all the words... If he had to say all the words, his favor would be too great, and Emperor Kangxi's kindness would be too small.

Being so integrated by Tu Hai, Kangxi suddenly felt his eyes brighten up, and his mood improved, and he said immediately: "If Kong Wuzhuang hadn't rebelled in Shandong back then, and returned with red cannons and new shotguns, our Eight Banners soldiers would not have known How many people will be killed by the Ming army with firearms!

For such a great contribution, being sealed in that poor place in Guangxi has already been treated badly.In the end, the inheritance was broken because of the extinction of the heir, and I also feel ashamed of the hero!How about this, first give Kong Sizhen the title of Princess Heshuo Dingnan!

All treatment is the same as that of King Dingnan, and she is allowed to recruit 25 banner troops led by assistants... All the military expenses required will be taken from the Guangxi Fan Treasury!The required land is in Guangxi.

Send an edict to Sun Yanling, General of Guangxi, and tell him that I will send troops to fight hard this time, and when Zhu San is destroyed... let him inherit Kong Youde's Dingnan King and stay in Guangxi forever! "

Chapter 159 Shang Ke is happy!

Emperor Kangxi still has two brushes!

Although he can't reach the height of the "Holy Ancestor", he must be a difficult opponent... Otherwise, with Wu Sangui's tyranny, he would not be tortured to death by him.

And his best unique skill in this life is to hurt people with his own self and fight protracted battles.He beat Wu Sangui with these two tricks, he also used these two tricks against the Yanping Palace, and later he attacked "Kar Erdan" with these two tricks.But later, when facing Peter the Great's elder sister, Princess Regent Sophia, these two tricks didn't work well, so he had to sign the "Treaty of Nerchinsk".

But this time in Guangdong, Emperor Kangxi's "wounding people with his own roots" and "protracted war" also went a little bit wrong.

It's not that Zhu Heqi's capital is so big that he can play and spend with the wealthy Kangxi, but that Guangdong is too far away from Beijing Road.Even if Emperor Kangxi had six hundred miles of express delivery available, it would take half a month or even longer for a round trip.

And Shang Kexi, who was driven by him, is an old traitor with a bit too much loyalty, and he is completely different from Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, guys with rebellious bones in the back of their heads.

Therefore, he was too enthusiastic when he was exterminating the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Grandson Zhu for the Qing master. Before Kangxi's edict to adjust the strategy of suppressing thieves came to Guangdong, the old man had already worked tirelessly and rushed back to Guangzhou with his soldiers.

In the night, a fire dragon is marching mightily on the winding official road in Huizhou Prefecture!

This is an army of 8000 people led by Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi himself!

When this army left the Jieyang camp of the Qing army, there were still more than 600 people, but after turning around in Chaoyang County, it suddenly turned around and went west. It ran for more than 7000 miles in five days and ran to Guishan County, the capital of Huizhou. At the time, the number of personnel had been reduced to a little over 4000... A total of [-] people fell behind.

Although there were quite a lot of people left behind, Shang Kexi didn't dare to neglect at all.Especially after leaving Guishan County, the "night shift mode" of day and night travel was activated.Set off every evening when the sun goes down, and stop to set up camp in the early morning of the next day... It takes about five or six hours to walk!

There are two main reasons for the night shift.One is that the sun is too big during the day!

It's late April now... This is late April in the lunar calendar, and it's almost June in the Western calendar.

June days in Guangdong!

What's more, there are also a group of "Guangpiao" Northeast people in the Shang Ke army. Most of them are middle-aged, pampered and pampered for many years, and they are not very resistant to heat.

The second reason is that they are afraid of smoke and fire... that is, they are afraid of Zhu Heqi's smoke bombs, incendiary bombs and sugar-powder grenades!

Zhang Zhenren gave him the "Rainy Sky Breaks Thunder" move cannot be used to deal with the enemy's ambush - the initiative of the ambush is in the hands of the enemy!

But Shang Kexi also used veteran soldiers, so of course he would find a way to deal with it when he was beaten.So he was thinking about how to fight all the way?When the troops entered the territory of Huizhou Prefecture, he finally came up with a stupid way, which was to walk at night!

Don't Zhu San and Zhuge Yaodao know how to smoke?Putting smoke to cover the Qing soldiers, wouldn't it turn the Qing soldiers into blind soldiers?

Then simply march at night and fight at night!

In the dark at night, both sides are "blind", wouldn't Zhu San and Zhuge Yaodao's smoke technique be abolished?

Moreover, fighting at night can easily lead to melee, and melee is easy to "mix"!The two families mixed together and hacked each other. Cannons, muskets, bows and arrows were not easy to use, and they basically relied on one knife and one gun for hand-to-hand combat.By analogy, the Tianlei and Tianhuo on Zhu San's side should not be easy to use.

As for the fight with one knife and one gun, Shang Kexi is still very confident in the strength of his own soldiers and horses. Although he can't beat the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, but here in Guangdong, Shang Kexi's banner soldiers and directly subordinate Green Battalion soldiers have never lost to killing people.

Tonight is a cloudy day, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the sea breeze blowing from the south sea is also quite strong. It looks like a typhoon is about to blow and rainstorm.

Although Shang Ke’s army didn’t really like walking in the rain and fighting in the rain in the past... But the situation is different now, fire beats water!If it rains heavily, Zhu San and Zhuge Yaodao's sky thunder, sky fire, and smoke shouldn't be easy to use, right?

So it was going to rain today, and Shang Kexi, who was working the night shift, was in a pretty good mood!At this time, a bell rang, and several horses galloped from the rear, and found the vicinity of Shang Kexi's Wang Qi, which was illuminated by a string of lanterns.Shang Kexi turned his head and saw that the first rider was his son Shang Zhixiao.

Shang Zhixiao was also excited. Seeing Shang Kexi turn around, he yelled on his horseback, "Ama, good news! Master Zhang just watched the sky at night and found that our army will be lucky in the next two days. If you can Seize the opportunity to fight the thieves decisively, and you can gain a lot by avoiding it, and Zhenren Zhang will set up an altar on the east bank of Zengjiang to help us restrain Zhuge's magic. At that time, all the thunder, sky fire, and smoke of the monster will be ineffective!"

That Zhenren Zhang really worked hard, not only gave Shang Kexi a clever trick of "fighting in the rain", but even the time to send troops this time was calculated by Zhang Zhenren with his fingers, good luck!

Looking at the weather now... you can see that this real person's calculation is quite accurate.

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi raised his head and looked at the sky, there was no jet black hair at all.In this way, I can watch the sky at night, and I can also see auspiciousness. It seems that Zhang Tianshi's Daoheng is really extraordinary!

Shang Ke was delighted to win a master, and of course he was in a very good mood, so he immediately said to the soldiers who passed on the order: "This king's decree, the whole army will speed up... Don't stop after dawn, you must cross before the rainstorm comes down." Crossing the Zengjiang River, when the time comes, this king will give you a lot of rewards!"

……

On the same night, Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Taoist, who had already moved to the Huangpu camp on the north bank of the Pearl River, were also on night shift... They were working overtime!

Here in Huangpu Daying, it is no longer "996", but there are people who go to and from get off work.The nearly [-] generals in the four towns concentrated here are all "rolled" to the extreme, except for eating, sleeping, and shitting, they are all training.It is not practicing martial arts or marksmanship, but practicing formation and bomb throwing.

It is too late to practice this martial art now, but marksmanship does not need to be practiced... because these days, the powerful families in Guangdong have muskets in their homes, and they all have gunmen.Therefore, the fighters who were selected as infantry musketeers by Jinyi's pro-army were able to use muskets proficiently, and it didn't mean that they could shoot accurately.

However, the formation and formation of these newly recruited soldiers had to work overtime to train, otherwise they would not be able to go to the battlefield!

Moreover, Zhu Heqi didn't bother to implement any skirmisher formations anymore, and went directly to the simplest battalion-level square formation and battalion-level marching column.The establishment of the battalion and the leader has also been simplified and adjusted, and the scale of the battalion has been expanded. One battalion governs four leaders, and one leader is a pure team of [-] people.

The so-called pure team of 100 people means that [-] people are equipped with the same set of equipment.Among the four collars under the jurisdiction of the first battalion, two collars are equipped with long spears, one collar is equipped with muskets, and one collar is equipped with muskets.

Of course, I don’t dare to think about going forward, as long as the steps are basically the same, and they can deploy, move, and attack normally on the battlefield.

As for bombing, not everyone practiced it, but relatively strong men were selected to form a team of 30 deputy leaders, directly under the command of the battalion generals of each battalion, specializing in bombing...

In addition to these infantry battalions, there are also artillery leaders, cavalry leaders, personal soldier leaders, and supply battalions directly under the towns of Jinyi Qinjun.

Among them, the artillery collar is equipped with hammer-throwing guns, and each collar is equipped with twelve guns.The cavalry leader has forty to sixty cavalry with horses.There are about a hundred people in the personal army leader. In addition to being responsible for guarding the town secretary, they are also responsible for passing orders.

The supply battalion is also a reserve team and an engineering team, with a large number of people, each battalion has 1000 to [-] people.

When Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe led everyone to train day and night, they were also busy reinforcing and expanding the Huangpu Camp on the north bank of the Pearl River.

In addition to the above-mentioned "Cantonese Army" who had cut off their braids and was determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, there were about a thousand "foreign brothers" under Zhu Heqi, who formed an artillery battalion directly under Zhu Heqi's Central Army Division.

In addition, Zhuge Junshi also helped Zhu and Qizhi start a Chinese military division.He first selected a group of small staff officers from among the young soldiers.After that, I selected two or three hundred coolies who looked more clever from the coolies who took refuge in the gate, and scattered them out as secret workers.

But Shang Kexi's army had just arrived at the bank of the Zeng River and was searching for boats everywhere waiting to cross the river, when Zhuge's military division's secret agents were already galloping towards the Huangpu Camp.

Chapter 160 Decapitate, Sacrifice the Flag, and Send Troops!

On the north bank of the Pearl River, Huangpu Daying.

Inside the school grounds, banners are waving, and there are many strong men.
