Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

However, Shang Zhixin did not force his fourth brother to die, because now it is the filial piety of the second Shang and not the festival of the fourth Shang who is competing with him for the throne.

So he turned his attention to another twenty or so younger brothers, as if he wanted to find one who was not afraid of the cold or death.

It's just that these brothers don't know what happened today?They were all in good health, but now they suddenly coughed together with Shang Zhijie, coughing and coughing into pieces, and those who didn't know thought they had influenza together.

Shang Zhixin looked at these useless brothers and was about to get angry when Shi Li Tianzhi, the head of Pingnan Prince's residence, came up to him suddenly and said, "Master...it's too late to send troops to rescue Haizhu Island."

Shang Zhijie immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, what Li Changshi said is right, it is too late now. Brother, look, the ten sand boats on the west wharf of Huangpu Village have already gone to Haizhu Island! Although there are red boats on the island Cannons, but the gunners are too old, and their eyes are dim. The cannons are even older...they are old cannons left by the Ming Dynasty. They haven't fired a cannon for many years. I don't know if they can be used. I guess they can't be knocked down Big sand boat.

Moreover, there are few defenders in Cidu Temple, and the rebels will release smoke and use fireballs to burn people. I think these old men can't stand it, so let's not waste our troops. "

He was right!

Shang Kexi, although the Pingnan King was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he almost showed his heart to Shunzhi, Aobai, and Kangxi, but the Qing court still didn't believe him, so he was stuck with the gunpowder and fire nitrate from the Pingnan Palace. ...In fact, the Pingnan Palace controls the Xiangshan-Macau trade, so how much fire nitrate, gunpowder and Western firearms are needed is not a problem.But it's still good to be loyal!Therefore, Zhenyue has built more than 20 red-clothed foreign guns in [-] years, and the accumulation of gunpowder is not much, which is not enough to threaten the Qing Dynasty.

Because they dare not let go of their hands and feet to engage in firearms and gunpowder, the Shang Keli army rarely conducts firearms training.The heavy artillery obtained from the Ming army in Guangdong is even rarer to fire a few shots, and only God knows how well they perform.

"But the third grandson of the fake Zhu won Macau, so he must have a lot of red cannons in his hands, and maybe there are Portuguese gunners working for him. If he is allowed to win Haizhu Island, will the southern city of Guangzhou be smashed into a sieve?"

"My lord," Li Tianzhi shook his head and said, "How many people in Nancheng agree with me? If Zhu San attacks from the outside and the people are chaotic inside, we will die without a place to die!"

"This, what should I do?" Shang Zhixin was a little panicked, looking at Li Tianzhi, "Chang Shi, do you want to..."

He didn't say all of what he said, but Li Tianzhi understood what he meant, and shook his head quickly, "It's impossible, the people in the city are all the people of the Qing Dynasty! If the prince takes them under the knife, even if he wins, he won't be able to explain it! Officials will definitely attack it together, and officials who intend to cut down the feudal clan will also use this as an excuse. And in case of defeat..."

Shang Zhixin's forehead is covered with beads of sweat, he really can't kill like his Ama now!

One is that there are too many treacherous ministers in the court!

The second is that he really might not be able to hold on... When those Cantonese people pursue him, he will have no way to survive!

Li Tianzhi also didn't want to do everything wrong - now is not the era when the Qing soldiers are invincible, but Zhu Heqi's army has a clear advantage in fighting the Qing soldiers. It is hard to say who will belong to the world in the future.

So he had to leave a way out for himself!

Thinking of this, he said to Shang Zhi: "Master, Guangzhou City University, we have few soldiers and are unpopular, it is impossible to defend them all.

For the present plan, the only option is to abandon the south city and defend the north city with all of its strength, and then use the Wangfu, Shizifu, Zhenhai Tower, Yuexiu Mountain and Sifang Fort in the north of the city as the final stronghold. "

The southern city of Guangzhou is actually the outer city of Guangzhou, and the northern city is the inner city.The layout of this city of Guangzhou is somewhat similar to that of Beijing. Instead of the outer city surrounding the inner city, the outer city is in the south and the inner city is in the north.It is also small in the outer city and large in the inner city.Moreover, the relatively large outer city is for a small number of bannermen, green battalion soldiers and their families to live in, and the relatively small outer city is the place for Cantonese.

However, Shang Zhixin has too few available soldiers, and now he has lost more than a thousand men under Zeng Qizhao's command, so even guarding the inner city is quite tiring.The last stronghold can only be the Wangfu, Shizifu, Zhenhai Tower, Yuexiu Mountain and Sifang Fort in the north of the city.

"That's the way it is..." Shang Zhixin knew that he had nothing to do, but he was not willing to hold on to the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "But it won't work if you keep on going, that false third prince Zhu is too good at fighting, if there is no foreign aid , then we are dead!"

When he said "death", he was so desperate!

In fact, not having foreign aid does not mean that you will die... You can still escape!

Zhu Heqi's army came by boat, and he didn't have many cavalry on hand, while Shang Zhixin had four hundred elite cavalry on hand.Half of them are still cavalry led by his direct leader, so of course he can escape if he really wants to run away.

But where can he go after running out of Guangzhou?

Go back to Beijing?

Can Emperor Kangxi spare him?Who published the "Chongzhen Legacy"?Who pushed Wu Sangui to the point where he had to fight back?Although Kangxi tried his best to stabilize Wu Sangui, it does not mean that Kangxi can forgive Shang Zhixin.

To Jieyang Village in Chaozhou Prefecture?

Can that unfilial father forgive him?

Other fathers may be venomous, but his family has too many unfilial fathers and sons, kill one who doesn't feel bad!

If Shang Zhixin lost Guangzhou and went to Shang Kexi's army, he would be throwing himself into a trap, and Shang Kexi would definitely kill his son righteously.This unfilial father is really loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin gritted his teeth and said to his fourth brother Shang Zhijie: "Fourth brother, you should go to Chaozhou government immediately to find our Ama, and let him go back to the army to save Guangzhou! He's going to be late... that's terrible." Is it a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, or sending thousands of people at once!"

Thousands!

Shang Kexi’s sons and grandchildren plus one piece is just that amount... Shang Zhixin has become cruel. Except for Shang Zhijie, none of Shang Kexi’s children and grandchildren who are currently in Guangzhou are allowed to leave, and they all stay in Guangzhou to follow. be made a scapegoat.

Die together!

Shang Kexi, if he is really so cruel that thousands of descendants are gone, then Shang Zhixin will die!

……

"My lord, the demon squadron on the north bank of the Pearl River has retreated, and we have won the first battle!"

Hearing Zhuge's army division's shout, Zhu Heqi, who was watching ten sand boats full of brocade-clothed young soldiers rushing towards Haizhu Island, turned his binoculars around and looked at the north bank of the Pearl River.

All I saw was the brigade of Qing soldiers holding green flags and wearing gray-blue cloth visors, slowly retreating towards the city of Guangzhou.

"It seems that the Qing Yao in Guangzhou won't reinforce Haizhu Island!" Zhuge Military Master said again, "We already have Huangpu Island and Huangzhou Island. If we can take Haizhu Island, it will lead to Foshan Town and Sanshui County. The waterway is completely opened."

The Pearl River waterway is of course the lifeblood of the Pearl River Delta!

Huangzhou Island, where Huangpu Island, Haizhu Island, and Huangpu Village are located, is the heart of the Pearl River waterway. If you control the heart of the waterway, of course you can use troops in all directions.

Military Master Zhuge said again: "I suggest that the son of the world set up the Chinese army at Cidu Temple, station troops on Huangpu Island and Huangpu Village, and while training soldiers and horses, divide the troops to take Foshan and Sanshui in the west, enter Dongguan in the east, and go to Humenkou and Xin'an in the south. Counties...as long as Dongguan, Xin'an, Foshan, Sanshui, Shunde, Xiangshan, and Macau are all in my hands, I'm glad that even if I return to the army, I can't bear it!"

Zhu Heqi laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's fine if Shang Kexi doesn't return to the army. If he rushes to Guangzhou, then Guangzhou will be his death place!"

He paused, and then said: "But the lonely family does not go to Cidu Temple, and the lonely family is not a monk."

Army Master Zhuge was taken aback, "I don't know where the Master wants to locate the Chinese Army?"

"Whampoa Island!" Zhu Hechi said, "Whampoa Island is an island of military prosperity, so I want to open a military school on Huangpu Island to educate officers and train soldiers... At the same time, Shang Ke is happy to return to the army!"

Chapter 154 Only spells can defeat spells!

"Ama! Ama! Overjoyed..."

Shang Kexi, who was in a hurry to get angry in the Jieyang camp of the Qing army, when he heard his second son Shang Zhixiao's voice, he became very angry!

I am also very happy... More than 100 children and thousands of grandchildren are now being held hostage in Guangzhou by that unfilial son Shang Zhixin.

So many children and grandchildren...how hard and difficult it is to be born!And this is still alive, not counting those who died prematurely.Shang Kexi has been in Guangdong for more than [-] years, it has been really hard work, he has no rest every night, and he is working hard to create.

It's all over now, most of them were taken hostage by Shang Zhixin, if they died together, wouldn't Shang Kexi's hard work for so many years be in vain?Moreover, he is old now, his energy is not as good as before, and he can no longer work so hard.

By the way, if these precious sons and grandsons are all dead, then Shang Zhixiao will be happy...

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi stood up abruptly, grabbed a whip, and rushed out with big strides, going out to beat that unfilial son!

After leaving the big tent, he raised his whip and heard the voice of his most trusted military advisor, Jin Guang: "My lord, calm down..."

Calm down?

Anger cannot be appeased, but Shang Kexi also found that the old man Jin Guangjin and a young man wearing Taoist clothes and holding a whisk were standing side by side in front of him, while the rebellious son Shang Zhixiao was hiding behind them.

This young Taoist priest looks quite ordinary, but he has an indescribable immortality.

"Military division, who is this bull-nosed man?" Shang Kexi managed not to whip Jin Guang's face, but pointed at the Taoist priest and asked.

Jin Guang replied: "This is Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain!"

Zhang Zhenren?Is it Master Zhang?No, Zhang Tianshi is not that old...he is only six years old this year.

"Master Zhang," Shang Kexi looked at the Taoist priest in front of him and asked, "Who is you, Little Heavenly Master Zhang?"

The young man smiled and said: "My lord, Zhang Hongtian, the poor Taoist, whose Taoist name is Qiling, the current Heavenly Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain is the nephew of the poor Taoist."

Jin Guang smiled and said: "My lord, although Daoist Qiling is young, his Taoism is superb, and he is not inferior to today's master. When I went to Longhu Mountain, the heavenly master had already gone north according to the order. The Taoist sitting in Longhu Mountain Among them, he is the most powerful, so I invited him to you."

Originally, Jin Guang wanted to invite the little celestial master who was only six years old... Although the celestial master is small, his mana is still there.Moreover, there are many Daoists of the Hong and Ying generations around Tianshi, and there are many people with profound Taoism among them.

But Jin Guang was one step too late. The little celestial master had already received the imperial decree from Emperor Kangxi to go to Beijing to "play", so Jin Guang could only invite Zhang Hongtian, who stayed behind, to come to Chaozhou for a business trip.

However, this Daoist Hong Tianzhang still has two brushes, and he fooled around with Jin Guang along the way, which has already convinced Shang Kexi's great military adviser.As soon as Jin Guang was convinced, Shang Zhixiao, Jin Guang's good student, naturally believed too.

Although Shang Kexi didn't believe in this young Daoist Zhang, but because of Jin Guang's face, he still invited him into his big tent, and even ordered someone to serve drinks to clean up this Daren Zhang.

After drinking for three rounds and cooking for five tastes, and both the host and the guest getting a little familiar with each other, Shang Kexi straight to the point and asked about Zhuge Sanhe.

"My lord, I heard that Zhuge Sanhe once visited Longhu Mountain when he was young, and he and his father supported the shaman to invite immortals, and he also got the shackles of 'the one who conquers the Qing, the king of heaven first has the cannon', can there be such a thing? ?”

The "heavenly secret" that Zhuge Sanhe leaked in the capital of Guiyu that day had already spread throughout Chaozhou, and of course Shang Kexi knew about it.

But Zhang Hongtian sighed, showing a sad expression: "To tell you the truth, my father once saw Sanhe Yaodao in Yangzhou Qionghua Temple...the next day he became a fairy. So the poor Taoist didn't know There is no such thing as asking a fairy to help a spirit."

That is there!

Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao were shocked when they heard the words. This was a leak of the heavenly secret, so they were punished by heaven!

But why is Zhuge Yaodao not dead?Could it be that his destiny is to help the Ming Dynasty and prosper the Han Dynasty?

How can this be good?

The father and son of the Shang family, who found that they were very likely to be on the opposite side of God's will, were a little anxious...can you not be in a hurry?Their Shang family has millions of enemies in Guangdong!Killing their family can please millions of Cantonese people, such a good deal even a wise master can do it!

Jin Guang also found out what was on the minds of the two men, so he hurriedly cheered them up, and said with a smile: "My lord, Zhang Zhenren has a way to break Zhuge's demon way of lightning!"

is it?

Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao are now in high spirits.

Shang Kexi said: "Renren Zhang, if you can really defeat Zhuge's demon way of lightning, this king will definitely reward you with a lot of money, and recommend the real person to the emperor."

Master Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, Zhuge's Sky Thunder Art is not difficult to break."

really?

Saved!

The eyeballs of Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixiao are all rounded.

Zhang Zhenren said again: "The so-called thunder method is actually a kind of fire spirit art. Its foundation is not thunder, but fire. And water can overcome fire...so you can choose a rainy day to fight them."

What?that's all?Is it okay to fight in the rain?

Shang Kexi thought for a while, then put his hand on his forehead and said, "Why didn't you think of it?"

Yeah, you're so stupid, why didn't you think of such a simple method?It rains a lot here in Guangdong, and it’s the rainy season now. Picking a rainy day couldn’t be easier!

Shang Kexi slapped his hands, "The real person is really a master!" He didn't even bother to drink anymore, so he immediately expressed his filial piety to Shang Zhi, "Second brother, summon the generals... to hold a military meeting for father!"

……

When Shang Kexi was planning to take advantage of the rainy day to fight to the death, Zhu and Qi were saying goodbye to Ji Dabao and three British people including Goff, Smith, and Jones in Shenjing Village on Huangpu Island—these four people have now regained their freedom. , you can go wherever you want.

This Shenjing Village is the hometown of the famous Shenjing Roasted Goose, located on the West Island of Huangpu Island.

This Huangpu Island was not an island, but two small islands. The distance between the two islands was very close, only thirty or forty steps away.But it is this mere thirty or forty paces of water surface that forms a very good port.Not only can you park various ships, but you can also build shipyards.

In addition, the East Island of Huangpu Island, which is the island where the later Whampoa Military Academy is located, is still very desolate and there is a lot of land that can be developed.

Zhu Heqi has transferred [-] strong men to the island to start eradicating vegetation and leveling the land.They also asked people to transport a large amount of wood and bricks from Foshan, an "industrial center" that had just been taken down, to prepare for the construction of docks and houses.

According to the plan, there will be a school dedicated to training military officers, a military barracks in fine clothes, a naval shipyard and dock, and a fort that can house eighteen Hongyi cannons.

But now, neither the school nor the barracks have been built, so Zhu and Qi can only live in Shenjin Village.He also borrowed the premises of the Ling's Ancestral Hall on the edge of Shenjing Village to set up his own Chinese army, and opened a small military academy for training the instructors of the military academy in the future.

Although the military school is already in preparation, Zhu Heqi has not yet finalized which subjects should be taught?After all, he is just a "spell".Oh, the so-called magic is of course chemistry!

The science of chemistry is still in its infancy, and has not been independent from alchemy and alchemy. In a sense, chemistry is still a subsidiary of the magic world!

So Zhu Hechi wanted to redefine chemistry... This chemistry and chemical industry are not very high-end!It's better to pass it on as spells and magic.

Such-and-such University of Chemical Technology and such-and-such University of Science and Technology are not as respectable as Peking University and Tsinghua University!

What if the name is changed to XX University of Magic or XX University of Magic?Is this force going up immediately?

Compared with the University of Magic, do Peking University and Tsinghua University have to stand aside?

The graduates from other universities are college students, and the graduates from the University of Magic and Magic should be called fairy masters or magicians?

It should be easier for the fairy master and magician to go out to find a job and make a girlfriend, right?

Chapter 155 Yes, It's Magic!

"Dabao, Mr. Goff, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Jones, there is no magic potion that can make people fall asleep in these Mingxia wines, so you can drink them with confidence."

In the lobby of a house next to the Ling's Ancestral Hall, Zhu Heqi had already set up a banquet for seeing off guests, and called his Latin teacher, Bei Jiaxin, who was holding a plate with with three yellow scrolls and a thread-bound book.

In addition, the "Daming Xia" that he just blended was placed... There is "spring" wine, and of course there are "summer" wine, "autumn" wine and "winter" wine.

Of course, the four "spring, summer, autumn and winter" wines are all high-quality imitation wines made from sugarcane wine, some other flavored wines, some special aromatic essential oils, and some artificial aging methods.

Among them, the Daming Xia wine is a high imitation sherry wine, which is a kind of special taste produced by blending, blending and artificial aging with Portuguese sherry wine, oak barrels and sugarcane raw wine seized in Macau. Shirley.

The acidity of this wine is high, but it is still sweet, with a slight milky aroma, and it has been chilled for an excellent taste.It must be better than the best sherry that people of Goff, Smith and Jones can drink in the UK.

However, due to the "drunk accident" last time, Goff, Smith, Jones and the others now have psychological shadows on the fine wine provided by Zhu Hechi.Moreover, Zhu Heqi just said a very sensitive word - potion?
