Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

"Zhongtang, Zu Zeqing's behavior is very strange..." Zhou Peigong reminded at this time, "He almost left without fighting, and he didn't just fight and leave, but just escaped!"

Zhou Peigong also regained his composure at this time. If Tu Hai is a "[-]-point commander", then he can also be regarded as a "qualified military adviser".

As a qualified military strategist, of course he could tell at a glance that Zu Zeqing was acting like a demon.

"Zu Zeqing...don't worry about him for now, he will look good later on!" Tu Hai, commander of the [-]th Division, felt that this was a difficult problem, so he was puzzled, "Pei Gong, do you think Zhu Hechi will be like this after passing the Xijiang River?" beat?"

"It must be to take down Deqingzhou City first!" Zhou Peigong also followed Tuhai's thinking and analyzed, "The current thoughts of the false third prince Zhu and his son must be to take Guangdong first and then go to Guangxi, and at the same time support the pirate Zheng Shizi to take Fujian. .In this way, they can have three provinces, with the mountains in the north and the sea in the back, and they can fight against the heavenly soldiers.

And taking Deqingzhou City can close the passage between Guangdong and Guangxi, not only it is difficult for soldiers from Guangxi to re-enter Guangdong.General Dingnan and Dingnan Gege's soldiers could not return to Guangxi, which was extremely beneficial to Zhu San's father and son's plan to first pacify Guangdong and then settle Guangxi. "

He paused, and then said: "And after capturing the city of Deqing, Zhu and Qi will definitely bypass Zhaoqing's capital, Gao or not, and then go all the way to Qingqizhai to join forces with the navy on the Xijiang River." , Water and land attack, destroying the navy of Shijunmen in Qingqizhai... But there are too many big rivers in Guangdong, it is really difficult to move without the navy.

If Shi Junmen's navy collapsed, the two Sun Junmen's land divisions would not be able to deal with the rebels in Guangfu, Zhaoqing, and Huizhou, where the water network is dense, and it would be difficult to enter Guangxi.It is not bad to be able to defend Shaozhou and Yingjiazhou.

And it is difficult for Shijunmen's navy to break through Sixianjiao and enter the Beijiang waterway... because the rebels built artillery fortifications at the foot of Kundu Mountain, the capital of Sanshui on the south bank of Sixianjiao, and must have laid sky and fire mines. "

Sixianjiao is a river channel connecting the Xijiang River and the Beijiang River, about three miles long.The south bank of Sixianjiao is under the jurisdiction of Sanshui.Sanshui is a township under Sanshui County, and the area where it is located is actually a big island surrounded by water.To the north is Sixianjiao and Beijiang River, to the west is Xijiang River, to the east is Beijiang River, and to the southwest is Ronggui Waterway, another waterway connecting Xijiang River and Beijiang River.

The Ming army now uses the fort at the foot of Kundu Mountain to control Sixianjiao, and at the same time uses the fort to the west of Sanshui County to control the Beijiang waterway.

In addition, the Ming army's navy and Minzhuang, who went upstream from the Xijiang River, controlled the key point of Makougang on the Xijiang River, and at the same time protected the west side of Sanshui Capital.

Therefore, although Sun Sike's troops of the Qing army "surrounded" Sanshui County on both sides, they had no way to cross the Beijiang River and enter Sanshui City. Live in Sanshui County.

Zhou Peigong said: "Zhongtang, for the current plan, the only way is to order Sun Junmen to temporarily withdraw from the siege of Sanshui, retreat to Qingqi Village and join forces with Shi Junmen... As long as the rebels can't take Qingqi Village, they will be in Xijiang. It is also difficult for the navy on the river to enter the Beijiang River. In this way, we can advance and retreat along the Beijiang River and Suijiang River freely."

Because Qingyuan and Shaozhou in the upper reaches of the Beijiang River were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, Tu Hai and Sun Sike could still collect some civilian ships, so they could move freely on the north of the Sanshui River in the Beijiang River and on the Suijiang River.

But civilian ships are not naval forces after all. Once the Ming army's navy breaks through the blockade of Qingqizhai and enters the Beijiang waterway, the Qing army may not even be able to defend Qingyuan, so they can only retreat to Shaozhou.

In this way, not only the entire Guangzhou government will be controlled by the Ming army, but even the territories of Zhaoqing, Luoding, Gaozhou, Leizhou, and Huizhou will be lost soon.

At that time, Tuhai will not be able to explain to Emperor Kangxi!

Therefore, the gains and losses of Qingqi Village are now related to the overall situation!

Tu Hai nodded slightly, his eyes had already focused on Qingqi Village on the wooden map, "The key is Qingqi Village... what is the name of the river west of Qingqi Village?"

"It's called Qingqi Chung," Zhou Peigong said. "It connects Suijiang River and Xijiang River. It looks like a small river on the map, but it is also thirty or forty steps wide. , Qingqizhai is actually an island surrounded by water."

"Okay!" Tu Hai squinted his eyes and said, "You can ask Sun Junmen to withdraw the army surrounding Sanshui to Qingqi Village... and then use Qing Qiyong to fight the rebels!

In addition, give Sun Yanling an order to come to Qingyuan to join the army quickly... This commander will personally lead the soldiers to the Sihui and support the Qingqiyong battlefield at any time! "

At this time, a smile appeared on Tu Hai's face: "After Sun Junmen and Shi Junmen joined forces, there were more than [-] soldiers from land and water! After my commander and General Dingnan joined forces, there were more than [-] soldiers... The two armies combined Forty thousand thousands! Thinking that the rebels who came around Daqingzhou are no more than [-] at most, and they are exhausted, and they have no place to rely on. So the advantage in this battle is mine, at least [-]% chance of winning!"

"Master Zhongtang is wise!"

Seeing the commander-in-chief of sixty points made a "sixty point decision", Zhou Peigong, a qualified military adviser, also quickly sent a compliment.

However, contrary to Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong's expectations, Zhu Heqi was not in a hurry to march towards Qingqi Village, but took a comfortable rest for three days after conquering Deqing Prefecture, and by the way conquered several people around the city of Deqing Prefecture. In this township, the masses in Deqingzhou were mobilized again.

After waiting for the artillerymen who had fallen behind to arrive, Zhu Heqi slowly marched along the Xijiang River towards Gaoyao, the first county of Zhaoqing.Moreover, while marching, he also mobilized the masses to win over the strong surnames of the townships along the way. By the time his army arrived outside Gaoyao City, the number had reached [-], and half of them were Min Zhuang who had just joined the army!

After arriving in Gaoyao County, Zhu and Qi were not in a hurry to enter Qingqi Village, but began to attack Gaoyao County, which has a difficult terrain and a strong city!

When the news reached Sihui, Tu Hai, the [-]th Commander who had joined forces with Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong and others, felt at a loss.

What are these traitors doing?Will they fight?Don't they understand the reason why soldiers are expensive and fast?

Now it is actually in Gaoyao Fortified City... Where is Gaoyao Fortified City so easy to break?Not only is the land dangerous and the city strong, but Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, led [-] troops to guard it personally!

"Zhongtang, the rebels should be planning to besiege the city and fight for aid, right?" Zhou Peigong was still playing the role of a military adviser in the fourth meeting of the generals, "Don't the rebels think that we will give up Qingqi City in order to save the gold army? The location is favorable to go westward to the surrounding area of ​​Gaoyao County..."

"How is it possible?" Sun Yanling interrupted Zhou Peigong without waiting for him to finish speaking, "Now Guangdong has Tutang, King Pingnan, this official, and Princess Dingnan... Besides, the Jin Zhijun is the Zhengbai Banner of the Han army. , the world is blessed by the emperor!"

Jin Guangzu is also a loyal second-generation slave!At the critical moment, of course he would be willing to sacrifice for his master.Therefore, there is no need for Tuhai, Sun Sike, and Sun Yanling to send troops to fight for him.

Moreover, the terrain around Gaoyao County is not conducive to the deployment of Sun Sike and Sun Yanling's army.Gaoyao County is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side.Only the northeastern corner can be deployed with a large army, but this northeast corner is sandwiched by the Xijiang River and Dinghu Mountain into a trumpet mouth.

It's a wide east and narrow west, perfect for ambush pocketing.Qingqizhai is actually located at the bell mouth, and the terrain is flat and open, which is conducive to the Qing army's full play.How could they give up such a favorable terrain and drill into the horn?

Just when several people in the Great General's Xingyuan Hall were puzzled, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and the sound of horseshoes and horses neighing... This was someone riding a horse into the gate, Got out of the lobby!

Tu Hai, who was looking down at the wooden figure, was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, he heard Deputy General Sun Yanling yelling and scolding: "Who the hell is blind, dare to ride a horse in the general's camp, believe it or not, I will pick you up!" skin!"

As soon as Sun Yanling finished speaking, a gloomy female voice came from outside the lobby: "General Dingnan, whose skin do you want to pick?"

When Sun Yanling heard this, his expression changed drastically: "Gege...why are you here for four meetings?"

Chapter 219 Wu Sangui Rebelled, Tu Hai Fights!

"Get out of the irrelevant ones! If you don't go out, don't blame the horsewhip in the old lady's hand for not recognizing people!"

Kong Sizhen came in from the outside of the hall with a livid face in military uniform, with a horsewhip in his hand, chasing people away as soon as he came in.

At this time, there were quite a lot of people in the lobby, apart from Tuhai and Sun Yanling, there was also Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, and his three masters and Geshha.

The masters and Goshhas below all know that Kong Sizhen is not easy to mess with, and when they see this girl blowing up, they all want to sneak away first to show their respect.But only Sun Yanling's subordinates ran away first, and no one asked the general Dingnan what he meant, which made Sun Yanling's face turn white and blue, but he didn't dare to get angry with Kong Sizhen, and had to keep a smile on his face.

Seeing Sun Yanling's cowardice, his Guangxi Admiral Ma Xiong stood up and laughed, "Let's go, let's go, let's all go! Master Tu, General Sun, this subordinate is going to take a step first!"

Tuhai sighed, and waved his hands to let his subordinates go first, but he didn't intend to move - this is his yamen!

Your princess wants to discipline you and send you home to discipline, how can you be disciplined by General Jing Kou in Ningnan?

But Tuhai's subordinates didn't leave either, Zhou Peigong, the qualified military adviser, didn't leave, but frowned and looked at Kong Sizhen.

"Admiral Ma, you can stay here too... Just stay alone, there are important military matters!"

At this time, Kong Sizhen stopped Ma Xiong who had just walked to the entrance of the lobby.

Have a military matter?

Ma Xiong was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the princess's beating of the forehead...isn't it a military matter? But if there is a military matter, why should the master be sent away?"

Although he didn't understand what Kong Sizhen wanted to do, Ma Xiong obediently followed suit and sent his master and Geshha to retreat outside the gate to wait.

At the same time, Goshha, brought by Kong Sizhen, guarded the courtyard outside the Xingyuan Hall.

Tu Hai also realized that something was wrong, and when he saw that all the subordinates had left except Zhou Peigong, he immediately asked, "Ge Ge, what happened?"

"Wu Sangui's rebellion! The news is absolutely reliable!" Kong Sizhen said a stunned news as soon as she opened her mouth, and then she continued: "The Dingnan General's Mansion has already cast a lot of eyeliner inside and outside Kunming City, watching day and night. This old thief Wu Sangui. Yesterday morning, the Chuanqi from the General's Mansion left Lianshan Prefecture and arrived in Shaozhou, bringing reliable news of Wu Sangui's rebellion to the servants!

On November [-]th, Wu Sangui sent people to lure Zhu Guozhi, Li Xingyuan and other court officials who were in Kunming to Wuhua Mountain and detained them.At the same time, the generals of the banner army and the green battalion under him were also summoned to Wuhua Mountain, where they read out the Chongzhen imperial edict in public and announced that they would rise up in accordance with the edict.Then he also ordered to block all the checkpoints in and out of Yunnan... Fortunately, an eyeliner sent by General Dingnan's Mansion in Kunming had connections, and brought the news out before the customs was closed! "

After she finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the Great General's Xingyuan hall, and everyone was too scared to speak.

Wu Sangui rebelled!

Wu Sangui is really rebellious!

The world of the Qing Dynasty is going to be in chaos!

Don't look at the big disturbances caused by the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu in Guangdong and Fujian, but for the whole Qing Dynasty, it was just a mess.

Zhu and Qi tried their best, and until now, they still haven't snatched a state capital completely!

Now the territory actually controlled by the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu is eleven counties in Guangfu, two counties in Zhaoqing, and one county-level prefecture in Luoding Prefecture... It seems that it is not small, but there are ten prefectures in the province of Guangdong Two states!

Moreover, Shaozhou Prefecture, Jiaying Prefecture, Lianzhou under Guangfu, and the northern mountainous area of ​​Huizhou, which are located in the Nanling Mountains, are still firmly under the control of the Qing Dynasty—the people in these areas are mainly Hakkas. They were not as hurt by the rule of the Qing Dynasty as much as the Chaozhou and Cantonese people, so the anti-Qing sentiment was not as strong as the Chaozhou and Cantonese people.

In addition, Zhu Tianwang, Zhu Heqi and Qiu Hui used to rely mainly on Chaozhou and Cantonese people to do things. They only started to focus on the development of Hakka people when they went back to Guangzhou for the imperial examination.Therefore, it is not so easy for them to take over the Hakka territory in the northern and eastern mountainous areas of Guangdong... But if Shaozhou and Yingjiazhou cannot be won, the third prince Zhu and his group will not be able to mess with Guangdong, and other places in the Qing Dynasty Still very stable.

It is conceivable that Guangdong will fight against the world with one corner.

But Wu Sangui is different!

Although Wu Sangui is a notorious traitor, he has strength!In addition to the province of Yunnan, which was firmly controlled by him, most of the green camp soldiers in Guizhou and Sichuan provinces were also under the control of his old confidants.

This group of people has long been bound together with Wu Sangui. Once Wu Sangui rebels, they must and can only follow along.

So Wu Sangui's anti-county is not a county-by-prefecture, but a province-by-province!

Yunguichuan will follow up first!

And Zu Zeqing, who has fled into Guangxi now, is also Wu Sangui's henchman, and most likely he will rebel with him!

In Shaanxi, there is also Wang Fuchen, the admiral of Pingliang, who is also part of Wu Sangui's party!

Maybe Guangxi and Shaanxi will follow up!

This reverse is five provinces!

And if Guangxi falls into Wu Sangui's hands, then the families of Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong's armies will also be under Wu Sangui's control... Will the battle in Guangdong still be fought?

If they stop fighting, Guangdong will have the surname Zhu!

"Damn it, Zu Zeqing's grandson has long colluded with Zhu..." Ma Xiong, the admiral of Guangxi, was the first to react, and said to Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen, "Hurry up and go back to the army, you can go to Shaozhou , Lianzhou entered Guangxi, we must control Guilin and Liuzhou before Zu Zeqing!"

Guilin is the hometown of Sun Yanling and Kong Sizhen, while Liuzhou is the residence of Ma Xiong.The family members of the two families were also placed in Guilin and Liuzhou.

"It's too late!" Kong Sizhen frowned, "Guo Yi, the commander-in-chief of Zuojiang Town, is also a member of Wu Sangui... Once he colludes with Zu Zeqing, Guilin and Liuzhou will definitely not be safe! If we fight Zu Zeqing and Guo in Guangxi Yida fights, Wu Sangui is very likely to send troops to Guangxi!"

Hearing her analysis, both Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong's hearts turned cold.

Zu Zeqing and Guo Yi's joint venture has at least [-] elite soldiers, which is already very difficult to fight!If there is another Wu Sangui, Zu Zeqing and Guo Yi will control the family members of the subordinates... What a shame!

At this time, Kong Sizhen looked at Tu Hai, "Tu Tang, I have blocked the news for now, and I should be able to hide it for a while... But you have to make up your mind as soon as possible!"

What's your idea?

Tuhai's mind was blank!

At this moment, his master Zhou Peigong had already leaned into his ear, and muttered in a low voice: "Zhongtang, don't fight now, once the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion spreads, there will be no chance to fight!

Fight now, even if you lose, the emperor will not blame you.If you don't fight..."

Zhou Peigong's words stopped here, but Tu Hai already understood everything.

Fight now, of course it's best to win.But even if they are invincible, it is still meritorious to fight off all the soldiers of Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong!

Because if you don't fight them all now, when they are drawn over by Wu Sangui, they will be enemies.

And once the news of Wu Sangui's rebellion spread, the Qing army in Guangdong would be in chaos?

Wu Sangui arrived in Hunan as soon as he came out of Yunnan and Guizhou!If there is another trip down the river, it may arrive in Nanjing in one wave.

What else is Guangdong playing here?

So now Tuhai can only concentrate on fighting before the news spreads... If he wins, then he might be able to take advantage of the victory and regain Guangzhou. With Guangzhou as his base, he can also fight against Wu Sangui and the third prince Zhu up.

If he loses... that's not his responsibility, he's credited with fighting Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong to prevent them from defecting to the side of Wu Sangui and the third prince Zhu!

Thinking of this, Tu Hai suddenly burst out laughing, which startled Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong. The two looked a little crazy. Now that the soldiers of the imperial court have assembled in Guangdong, and there are still [-] Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers in charge, and the Eight Banners' Huo Lei Army has also arrived in Guangdong, are they afraid that they will not be able to defeat the rebels? Isn't the false third grandson of Zhu waiting for us at the foot of Dinghu Mountain? A decisive battle? Good! Lao Tzu will do what he wishes, let him know how powerful the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are!"

He looked at Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong again, "General Dingnan, Admiral Ma...don't worry, Zu Zeqing is the most cunning kid, so he won't jump back easily. How many people are there in his ancestral home in Beijing? None I think he just wants to be on two boats. As long as we fight well in Guangdong, he won’t dare to turn against us. Then he will obediently send the families of your two armies to Guangdong. At worst, the commander-in-chief recommends him A Guangxi general!"

Chapter 220 Don't be afraid of cannon fodder, the paper tiger is here!

Qingqidu, located at the confluence of the Beijiang, Xijiang and Suijiang rivers, was originally the big stronghold Shi Lang chose for his Xijiang navy.Building the navy's Dazhai here can not only use the land artillery fortress located in the southeast corner of Qingqidu to block Sixianjiao, but also prevent the navy of the Ming army from entering the Beijiang waterway from the Xijiang waterway to rescue Sanshui County.It is also possible to hide the weak Qing army's Xijiang navy in the relatively open waterway in the southern section of Qingqiyong to avoid being raided by Ming army warships.It is even possible to set up an ambush on the embankment of the Xijiang River in the south of Qingqidu, and use cannons to launch sugar mines to attack the warships of the Ming army!

And when the news that Zhu Heqi's army crossed the Xijiang River from Deqingzhou and captured the city of Deqingzhou came, the military value of Qingqidu, a place that controlled the Three Rivers, was once again enhanced—the original deployment On the east bank of the Beijiang River, more than 2 soldiers from the Green Battalion under Sun Sike, who surrounded Sanshui County from the northeast on both sides, crossed the river from Beijiang to the north of Sanshui County on November [-] and [-]. Withdrew to Qingqidu.Begin to fortify along Qingqiyong west of Qingqi Capital, and assume the posture of a decisive battle against danger.

It has to be said that Tuhai and Zhou Peigong's deployment to guard Qingqidu is still very clever.On the one hand, fighting by relying on dangerous points can be invincible; on the other hand, the throats of Xijiang, Beijiang, and Suijiang are stuck, which can make it difficult for the Ming army, which has superior combat power and naval forces, and is supported by the people of Guangfu. display.

As long as the Ming army is difficult to use, and if it is delayed, the Qing Dynasty, which occupies more than nine-tenths of the world, can rely on the absolute advantage of national power to drag down the rejuvenated Ming Dynasty...and then crush it!

But people are not as good as heaven, and sky is not as good as "Wu's calculation". Wu Sangui's rebellion completely disrupted the general situation of the world, and also made Tu Hai, Sun Sike, and Sun Yanling lose the confidence to fight a protracted war in Qingqi.

They originally thought that they could drag their opponents to death with the idea of ​​"no loss is victory", but they didn't expect that it was themselves who had to make a quick decision!

After making up his mind, Tuhai reacted extremely quickly, and immediately led his Xingyuan, Sun Yanling, and Ma Xiong's troops across Suijiang, and rushed to Qingqidu to join forces with Sun Sike and Shi Lang.

After the meeting, it will be a grand oath ceremony immediately!

A newly harvested rice field on the west bank of Qingqiyong has now been turned into a school ground, shrouded in a scene of killing.

Athletes from the green battalion from Guangdong, Guangxi and the northern provinces, banner soldiers from the Ping and Ding feudal clans, and soldiers from the Xushun Duke's Mansion, just stood in the middle of the school grounds under the bright green banner.The armor is neat, and there are many swords and guns.

They are the descendants of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who fought thousands of miles from the bitter cold of Liaodong to the ends of the sky and the corners of the sea!And it hasn't been passed down to many generations, just between the "second pass and third pass", the combat effectiveness is still quite good.

Although the group of "little citizens" in Beijing have become paper tigers.However, these green battalion soldiers or feudal flag troops often have to fight against the heroes who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, so they all have some actual combat experience.

Most of these troops were led by generals who participated in the Northern Qing and Southern Ming Wars, so they were trained more seriously.And there are not many vacancies in each department... The "good habit" of eating vacancies and drinking soldiers' blood has not yet become popular!

In addition, at this time, the equipment of the flag soldiers and green battalion soldiers of the feudal mansion is quite good.Basically everyone has a cotton or cloth armor.There are also a lot of muskets, and the infantry has three hundred shotguns for every thousand people!

Except for shotguns, although the Qing soldiers who are now swearing-in are not equipped with red-clothed cannons that can be used to attack cities and villages, they still have enough general cannons for field battles.

However, what made these feudal flag troops and green battalion soldiers feel most confident was the [-] Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers who drove to the front line with Ningnan Jingkou General Tu Hai!

That is the invincible Eight Banners Manchuria!
