Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

In addition, the Jinyi pro-military officers and soldiers who followed Zhu and Qi to raid the counties of Guangfu will also have to settle in Guangzhou later—all of them will be issued with Guangzhou household registration, and then assigned to the "school district housing" in the inner city of Guangzhou. From then on, it will be old Guangzhou up.

Zhu Heqi himself is now also wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, standing behind a temporarily remodeled shield car, surrounded by the "Tai Pan Staff" of the military division's office, as well as military division Zhuge, Da Boling, Su Zhanshan, and Su Zhanhai The officers and soldiers of the personal army led.Everyone is wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, standing in the rain, looking at the towers of Nanguan Gate in Guangzhou.

There should be no guards on the tower of the Five Immortals Gate, otherwise the death squad sent by Su Zhanshan would not have been allowed to blow up the city gate with "wall-piercing bombs"!

The rain hit Zhu Heqi's face, almost making him unable to open his eyes, but he still stared at the city gate with the flickering fire in front of him, still muttering to himself.

"Guangzhou...it will be my territory soon! If Guangzhou is taken down, if we train tens of thousands of Whampoa troops, the whole of Guangdong should be swept away..."

At this time, Su Zhanshan leaned over to Zhu Heqi's side, "My lord, the artillery team is ready to blow up the door at any time!"

Zhu Heqi's army is still a bit of a grassroots team. There are no professional engineers, let alone special forces.The core of the army is the artillery who are not good at using smoothbore guns and the "bearded Confucians" who follow Zhu Hechi.

The ones in charge of blowing up doors at this moment are the artillery officers and soldiers... After Zhu Heqi's surprise attack on Macau, the artillerymen under him have been doing a lot of things like blowing up doors and walls.You are almost training to become a blasting expert!

Even Zhu Heqi's own skill in making shaped charges has improved dramatically!

"Fry it!" Zhu Hechi nodded, "I'm assured of their craftsmanship!"

"Decree!" Su Zhanshan immediately took the torch and waved it vigorously.

Then I saw a group of artillerymen holding torches coming out of the city gate hole, and they all hid on the edge of the city wall outside the city gate hole.

After a while, I heard two loud bangs, and a fire flashed out of the city gate.

Zhu Hechi breathed a sigh of relief.

If the bomb blew up, then the city gate must have been blown through... If all the Qing troops had already fled, then only a few people needed to get in through the hole opened by the blast to open the city gate.

At this moment, Zhu Heqi saw a wave of torches at the gate of the city ahead, which was a signal from the artillery responsible for blasting the gate.

"It's done!" Su Zhanshan let out a voice full of surprise, "It's blown through...My lord, you can send people in now."

Zhu Hechi nodded again, and said with a smile, "Okay! Send people into the city...as soon as the city gates are opened, this city of Guangzhou will be ours!"

Hearing this, Su Zhanshan yelled to a group of brocade-clothed soldiers who were ready behind the shield car: "Strike forward team, attack!"

"Order!"

A whole group of pro-army infantry in brocade clothes responded in unison, then held torches, divided into two teams, and walked towards the tower of Wuxianmen Gate in Guangzhou in the rain.

"My lord, you have taken down the Five Immortals Gate!"

When Da Boling's excited and uncontrollable shouts rang in Zhu Heqi's ears, the Gate of the Five Immortals in Guangzhou had already opened wide, and a flag of the same brightness of the sun and the moon was planted with the Five Immortals in the midst of the wind and rain. Gate Tower.

Half of the city of Guangzhou has been breached!

If Guidemen, the inner city closest to Five Immortals Gate, can be captured so easily, then Guangzhou City will be captured by Zhu Heqi's army!

"Enter the city!"

Zhu Hechi tried hard to suppress his excitement, and loudly issued a new order, "Target, Guidemen!"

"Decree!" Su Zhanshan loudly accepted the new order, and then went to mobilize people to drive into the Five Immortals Gate and drive to Guide Gate in the inner city.

Seeing a whole battalion of infantry and a group of artillery in charge of "opening the door" lined up into Wuxianmen, Zhu Heqi smiled and said to Daboling beside him: "Sister Ling, let's change places too... let's go to Wuxianmen." Immortal gate tower!"

"Yeah," Da Boling nodded, "I'm listening to Shi Zi!"

Zhu Heqi then said to Su Zhanhai, the general in charge of his own army camp, "Zhanhai, go to the Five Immortals Gate... I want to see my Ming flag planted on the city wall of the inner city of Guangzhou with my own eyes!"

……

Zhu Heqi had already boarded the Five Immortals Gate in Guangzhou City, looked down from a height, and in the rain and fog at dusk, a strange yet familiar Guangzhou City suddenly appeared in sight.

The city of Guangzhou is quite dilapidated, and there are low and dilapidated houses as far as the eye can see. It looks a bit similar to the Guanzha River Market... It seems that Shang Kexi knows how to kill people and make money, and has never thought about building, even if it is his own The outer city of Guangzhou at our doorstep has also turned into an extra-large slum.

And it is such a slum, but people are not allowed to live in it peacefully, and they are all kicked out.

After this typhoon, I really don't know how many people will get sick and die...

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi turned around and instructed Zhuge Junshi and Da Boling: "Let the common people live in a clean and comfortable inner city... first gather in the Guangdong Governor's Yamen, Guangzhou Fuya, Nanhai, and Panyu County Yamen. Among them. Gather all the sick ones, and arrange strong men and women to take care of them. If you need allicin, go to Aoi to get it.”

"The son of the world really loves the people like a son!"

"Master, you are truly the most benevolent monarch in the ages!"

These words are not flattery, but the words from the heart of Zhuge Sanhe and Da Boling.

Zhu Heqi really loves the people... Rareness is the most precious thing for the people!He is used to 14 billion people, but now he feels that there are few people everywhere, so he must cherish them.

He then ordered: "After our people enter the city, they will be stationed in Pingnan Wangfu, Shizifu and Sifang Fort...No one is allowed to go to the streets without orders, and robbery, theft, and molesting women are strictly prohibited! The lonely king lives in Shizifu. The military commander of the town has sorted out the credit book, and the lonely king will reward him for his merits!"

As he said that, he laughed, "There is an entire city of Guangzhou, which is definitely enough for a reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals who followed him to the top of the Five Immortals Gate suddenly gave out the loudest cheers: "Da Ming, Wan Sheng! Saint, long live!"

Zhu Heqi quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Guide Gate, and saw a bright red flag embroidered with golden sun and moon, which was already flying high above the gate of Guide Gate!

Guangzhou!Daming, I'm back!

Chapter 177 My country's surname is back!

In the 26th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, on the evening of May [-]rd, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhongshuling, the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhu Heqi, a former Confucian scholar, led his troops into Guangzhou, which had become an empty city.

And on another evening three days later, it was on the surface of the water near Houzhu Harbor at the mouth of the Luoyang River in Quanzhou Bay, Fujian Province, a thousand miles away from Guangzhou City.After a water battle that lasted for most of the day, it was finally time to decide the winner.

"Da Ming, Wan Sheng! Guo Xing Ye, Wan Sheng!"

On the surface of the water, there was a huge shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami, from the wide Luoyang River Estuary to the narrow water surface upstream.

In the Luoyang River Estuary area, the wide waters are full of burning large and small wooden boats, including six three-masted warships of the Dutch East India Company that are almost burned-these deadweight tons range from [-] to [-] tons. The sailboat between [-] tons is called "large speedboat" by the Dutch.

They are nothing on the ocean and sea, but their combat power is quite reliable in offshore areas where the wind direction is changeable and the water regime is complicated, or at the mouth of large rivers.

This is because they have a shallow draft and are quick to move, so they are very useful in shallow water with complex water regimes.And the number of artillery they are equipped with is not small, which is enough to deal with the weak oriental navies, so they have become the main force of the Dutch East India Company in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea.

In the naval battle of Liuluo Bay nearly 40 years ago, the main force of the Dutch was this large speedboat.Although the Dutch lost that naval battle, they did not suffer from the exchange ratio, and the large speedboats still performed well in naval battles for many years afterwards.So to this day, they are still the maritime pillar of the Dutch East India Company!

Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian navy of the Qing court, of course knew the power of this kind of Western warship in coastal water warfare.Therefore, after serving as the admiral of the Fujian Navy, he came forward to approach the representative of the Dutch stationed in Fuzhou (the Dutch had contact with the Jingnan Palace and signed the "Qinghe Treaty"), and brought the six people who were wandering in the Qing Dynasty and the coastal waters of Vietnam into contact with each other. All the large Dutch speedboats were invited to Houzhu Port in Quanzhou, where the old navy camp is located.

I want to use these warships of the Dutch to escort my newly built navy, and I also want to ask the Dutch to help me train the navy... The current Zheng Ming navy cannot be compared with Zheng Zhilong's era.Zheng Jing is a rich third generation who is "not richer than three", and the Qing's sea ban policy has cut off the roots of Zheng Ming's navy!

This Zheng Ming Navy is actually a bit like the Dutch Navy. It is not a "state-run navy" at all, but a private maritime merchant.

Before the sea ban in the Qing Dynasty, among the [-] to [-] sailboats active in East Asia and Southeast Asia, one to two hundred belonged to Westerners, and the others belonged to "Hu Jianren" and Cantonese... Zheng Zhilong, who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty, was The leader of all Chinese yacht owners!

With this status, it is impossible for the Dutch East India Company to completely defeat the Zheng family, let alone Shi Lang.

But now, the Qing Dynasty has dug up the roots of the Zheng family!

So the Dutch East India Company and Shi Lang's opportunity came!

Moreover, Shi Lang's navy did not start from scratch. He is a big pirate himself, and he was the admiral of the Fujian Navy before, so there are many old departments that can be used, and some pirates who have been banned by the sea and have nowhere to go can be recruited to serve as the big one. Qing effect.

In addition, Zhangzhou Haicheng Lord Huang Wu also owned a small navy, which was also handed over to Shi Lang after Shi Lang arrived in Fujian.

However, this impromptu fleet also has the predicament of insufficient training and no warships to use—Huang Wu bought a lot of civilian ships for Shi Lang, but these ships can only be used for training and anti-smuggling, and they are used to fight against Zheng Ming's navy. Water battles are definitely out of the question.

That's why Shi Lang invited the Dutch to help.

But he never imagined that these six Dutch warships, which looked very capable of fighting, were attacked by Zheng Ming's navy disguised as fishing boats (Shi Lang recruited many pirates, so naturally he had to relax the local sea ban)... The six sturdy-looking Dutch boats were set on fire by a few kerosene bottles for some unknown reason!

And the fire couldn't be extinguished, and it burned more and more, until all six Dutch ships were turned into fireboats.

At the same time that all six Dutch warships were burned, hundreds of warships of the Zheng Ming Navy also rushed into the mouth of the Luoyang River aggressively.

These Zheng Ming's tactics are also quite strange, except for a few large bird ships and old lock ships which adopted long-distance bombardment tactics, all other warships swarmed up and started a scuffle.It seems to be out of order, but the actual effect is extremely amazing.

Because Zheng Ming's navy has now practiced a set of tactics of throwing a grenade hammer at close range first, and then jumping to help seize the ship, blowing up the navy fleet that Shi Lang had put together with great difficulty.

Only a galley clipper that Shi Lang himself was on under the personal command of General Shi escaped from the encirclement and escaped into the narrow upper waterway of Luoyang River——Shi Lang set up a fort there to prevent the Ming Zheng water army from going further.

So Shi Lang, who escaped into the upper reaches of the Luoyang River, could finally heave a sigh of relief. Standing at the stern of the ship, he watched the scene of the burning water near Houzhu Harbor in the distance, and he just muttered to himself: "Here we come, Daming is back... ..."

At this moment, one of his personal soldiers suddenly came up, holding a bright yellow spherical object in his hand.

"Junmen, I picked up a dumb thunder thrown by a pirate!" The soldier handed over a wet sky thunder with both hands - the reason why the surface of the sky thunder is wet is because Shi Lang thought of it. A stupid way is to let each sailor on the deck carry a bucket.Seeing the grenade hammer being thrown, he immediately poured the seawater in the bucket.

Although the method is a bit stupid, but the effect seems to be there.

Shi Lang took the wet Tianlei, and then felt that the hand holding Tianlei was a little sticky, which was very uncomfortable.

"What water did you pour? Why is it sticky?"

"This...is just ordinary sea water." The soldier also felt sticky on his hands, as if he had pinched a handful of melted sugar.Now when asked by Shi Lang, he simply stuffed a sticky finger into his mouth and licked it.

Shi Lang looked at him and asked, "What's the smell?"

"Sweet……"

"Sweet?" Shi Lang was stunned, "How could the sea water be sweet?"

With that said, he picked up the Thunderball and began to study it carefully.After some research, it was discovered that there was a hole in the thunder ball, and the area around the hole was particularly sticky, as if it had been coated with sugar.

He was also very courageous, and he was not afraid of being poisoned. He stuck out his tongue and licked the sticky substance, and then said, "It's sugar...how come this sky thunder ball leaks sugar?"

"Could it be a mistake?" The soldier said, "Maybe it's a sugar bowl?"

This imagination is really rich enough!

Shi Lang frowned and thought: "Maybe... it is sugar added to the gunpowder?" He thought for a while, "No, I have to try! If it is true, it will reveal the secret of Tianlei, and then we can Offset the crime of defeat!"

……

"Hahaha... My surname Zhu Jin is back again!"

On an old lock boat with a combination of Chinese and Western, Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping County, held a telescope and laughed excitedly when he saw the scene of the Qing army's navy being wiped out on the water in the Luoyang River Estuary. The national surname is Zhu Jin".

The so-called "national surname" is "Zhu surname". Zheng Jing's father, Zheng Chenggong, was given the surname Zhu by Emperor Longwu, so he is also called Zhu Chenggong or Guo surname.

Zheng Chenggong can be called Zhu Chenggong, and Zheng Jing also has a name named Zhu Jin with the surname of the country.

However, after his defeat in Xiamen, he didn't use the names "Zhu Jin" and "Guo Xing Ye" very much, but called himself Zheng Yanping.

Probably because he feels that his war skills are too stinky, so he doesn't deserve to be called the surname of the country, right?

But this time the battle of Luoyang Jiangkou made him proud.

With the hard work of Liu Guoxuan, Qiu Rong and others, as well as the help of grenade hammers and fierce oil bombs, not only Shi Lang's naval army was completely wiped out, but even the few fast boats that the Dutch came to help in the battle were also fueled by fierce fire. The bomb burned.

This time it's really awesome!

This kind of record is much better than Zheng Zhilong's Battle of Liuluowan back then!

Chapter 178 Delighted to fall, loyal to eat enough

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord!"

In the magnificent and magnificent Jingnan Palace by the Qiongshui River in Fuzhou, Zuo Chunqiu, who came trotting all the way, hadn't entered the study of the palace, and was far away from Geng Jingzhong, who gave birth to a very cute monkey cheek Congratulations—this guy looks very interesting, he looks like a monkey, but he doesn't look treacherous, and he is a bit honest and honest, probably just an honest monkey spirit.

Of course, he didn't think he was honest... He also thought he was quite shrewd. He tricked the little Emperor Kangxi into a circle, and even released his tiger back to Fujian.

"Military teacher, come in and talk... Where does Gu Wangxi come from?"

In the study, he was looking at a map of the Great Qing Rivers, Mountains and Ten Thousand Miles, thinking about it, and when he heard the words of this confidant military adviser, he smiled and asked questions; while lifting up his robe, he turned around and sat down on a grand teacher's chair.

"My lord, double... double happiness!"

"Double Happiness? Which two happy events are they?" Geng Jingzhong looked up at his confidant military adviser, only to find that Zuo Chunqiu was blushing, holding two documents in his hand, and panting for breath!

This Zuo Chunqiu has been reused since he voted for Geng Jingzhong, he has secured the title of magistrate, and the actual dispatch is the chief master of the palace.Today, he was on duty in the big signing room of the palace, and he received two urgent petitions at the same time.

One of them was sent by Liu Jinzhong, the General Soldier of Chaozhou, who sent it quickly—Liu Jinzhong is not Geng Jingzhong's subordinate now, but because Geng Jimao and Geng Jingzhong have supported Liu Jinzhong, so Liu Jinzhong has always regarded himself as the old department of the Jingnan Palace, and from time to time A post will be sent to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion to report important events in Guangdong.

The other letter was sent by Shi Lang, Admiral of the Fujian Navy—Geng Jingzhong actually had no control over Shi Lang.Because Shi Lang himself has the title of imperial envoy, and there is also an imperial envoy in Zhangzhou who supervises the military affairs ministers of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, Mi Sihan, who restrains Shi Lang.But Geng Jingzhong is the king of Jingnan, the commander-in-chief of the Fujian garrison banner army!According to the Qing system, the Banner Army was larger than the Green Battalion, and the commander of the garrisoned Banner Army had the right to control all the Green Battalion soldiers in the defense area.Therefore, although Shi Lang is not subject to Geng Jingzhong's restraint, he still needs to report to Geng Jingzhong according to the system.

After getting these two urgent reports, Zuo Chunqiu couldn't sit still anymore after looking through them, and ran all the way to Geng Jingzhong's study in a hurry.Because the Jingnan Prince's Mansion occupies a large area, Zuo Chunqiu was out of breath running all the way, and after entering the study, he still panted for a long time before he recovered his breath, and finally he could continue to answer Geng Jingzhong's question.

"My lord, the joy is that Shi Lang's army was defeated on the Luoyang River, the newly built Fujian navy was destroyed, and even the six foreign warships that came to help the battle were all burned down!

Now the pirate Zheng's soldiers have landed at the mouth of the Luoyang River, and they are about to besiege the capital city of Quanzhou! "

"What?" Geng Jingzhong jumped up from his chair when he heard the words, "Master Zuo, what did you say?"

"My lord, don't be impatient..." Zuo Chunqiu smiled immediately, "This matter is not good for the Qing Dynasty, but it is very beneficial for the cause of the lord! The lord just took this opportunity to go further. !"

"Going further?" Geng Jingzhong regained his energy when he heard this, and even put aside the matter of Lao Zheng's family entering Quanzhou, his simple and honest monkey face was full of anticipation.

"You go one step further..." Zuo Chunqiu said, "Then you will be the Lord of Fujian!"

"What?" Geng Jingzhong was a little disappointed, "How can I be the Lord of Fujian? I am the Lord of Fujian now!"

Zuo Chunqiu shook his head and said: "My lord, you are now the lord of Fuzhou, not Fujian! Even Fuzhou is not a place where you can make decisions with one word! What you really have the final say on is that mere Dozens of manors!"
