Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Tuhai is much fiercer than the "heavenly soldiers" under his hands, and he has truly achieved "the rocket falls on the surface and people do not escape"!

In fact, the rockets that landed around Tuhai did not cause any casualties, but only scared away dozens of horses that were not "tethered" securely... because the landing point of these rockets was still a little far away from Tuhai and the others, the people of Tuhai Except for a little scare, it's not a big deal.

But after these rockets exploded, the smoke was very large, which looked very bluffing, and they made a sound like "crying ghosts and howling wolves" before landing.But those Eight Banners soldiers from Beijing who had never seen the world were scared to tears, and dozens of them fell off their horses on the spot!

Those who didn't fall off their horses also yelled and ran away with their horses, and these guys were so stupid that they didn't know where to go when they ran.

Dozens of them even fled forward... This made Tu Hai very angry!

How did the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners degenerate to such an extent?He didn't even know how to run, but actually ran towards the enemy... After running for a while, he ran back crying.

Tu Hai just wanted to go forward to teach them a few words, but the horse's reins were grabbed by a person beside him.

Tuhai turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Peigong.

"Zhongtang... quickly retreat!" Zhou Peigong said loudly, "Retreat to Qingqi Village first... After joining the navy of Shi Junmen, and then stick to Qingqiyong, as long as you can force the Ming army to retreat, you can send Shi Jun The navy of the gate was transferred to Suijiang through Qingqiyong. In this way, we can rely on Suijiang to defend Sihui and Qingyuan... No matter how bad it is, we can retreat to Shaozhou and temporarily block the way of false Ming for the court!"

Of course what he said was nonsense, but it gave Tu Hai a chance to escape!

"Kill the demons, restore the Great Ming..."

The shouts of the Ming army had penetrated the smoke at this time, getting louder and getting closer.

Tu Hai is not stupid, he knows that it is meaningless to carry on to death... Zhu Heqi has already become two famous kings today, if he is added as General Ningnan Jingkou, then his "harvest" in a day will catch up with Li Dingguo , this prestige is still worth it?

Forget it, let's run quickly.Anyway, Wu Sangui, the scapegoat who was defeated this time, has already helped to carry it...

……

In the evening of November [-]th, the first year of King Ding of the Ming Dynasty Jianguo.

Zhaoqing Prefecture, Gaoyao County, Guicheng Capital.

"The Heavenly Soldiers are defeated! The Heavenly Soldiers collapse..."

The shouts of panic and hustle and bustle suddenly appeared in the ears of every Qing Yao on the battlefield together with the shrill whistling sound of the sugar rocket.This voice is so clear and surprisingly penetrating, even though the battlefield is filled with shouts, gunfire, explosions, and screams... but the demons on the battlefield in Guichengdu can still hear it clearly." The heavenly soldiers are defeated! The heavenly soldiers are collapsed!" These eight words made them terrified and heartbroken.

At this moment, every Qing Yao turned to the Eight Banners soldiers' positions, as if they wanted to find their backbone.

But they could see nothing, not even the balls of fire and the pillars of smoke, nor the flag of General Tuhai, illuminated by lanterns and bonfires.

The handsome flag is gone!

This shows that Tuhai has withdrawn from the battlefield... The Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners are really defeated!collapsed!

The Eight Banners of Manchuria can be said to be the belief of the Han people and the Han army in this era.In Manchuria, they are all "big monsters", the Han army is a "medium monster", and the green camp is a "little monster".If the big demon is beaten away, what about the middle and small demons?

Don't look at Tu Hai's men who only have a mere [-] "Great Qing Demons", but they can support the belief of tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Green Battalion soldiers!

Qing Yao also has faith!

Their beliefs are not gods and Buddhas, not doctrines, not even money and land, but Manchurian heavenly soldiers!

The heavenly soldiers will not collapse, and the faith will not die.Even after repeated defeats, they can persevere, because they always feel that there is still a master who can take care of them.

As long as the master comes out, everything will be fine.

But now the master has collapsed... It's not defeat, but collapse!

It's not that the master of Manchuria has never been defeated. Prince Jingjin, Nikan, lost the battle in Hunan, was ambushed by Li Dingguo, and even lost his life!

But that was just a fiasco, not a "collapse".

Because Li Dingguo's victory mainly relied on his superior strategy, coupled with the fact that Nikan underestimated the enemy and made rash advances.It can be said that winning is not easy, and it is also difficult to replicate.In the second year of Li Dingguo's two famous kings, when the Qing court sent Bei Le Tunqi to lead troops into Hunan again, Li Dingguo never won a victory like defeating Nikan.Of course, if Li Dingguo slashes Tunqi again, the faith of traitors and traitors in Manchuria will also be destroyed!It's a pity that Li Dingguo couldn't do it...

But in this battle of Zhaoqing and Guicheng Capital, Zhu Heqi used a replicable "magic" to defeat the Eight Banners soldiers!

The next time I meet the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners, continue to bomb with thunder, burn with fire, and bomb with arrows... won't it be a win?

Moreover, the spells of Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Sanhe and these two monsters seem to be getting better and better!

During the last battle of Longtoushan, the two of them didn't seem to be that powerful!

The "Zhongqing Yao" and "Little Qing Yao", who became more and more afraid, finally collapsed completely, and could no longer muster up the courage to resist the Ming army, which was much smaller than them—there was only one Ming army participating in this battle. There were 5000 people, and the actual number of people participating in the battle to clear the demons exceeded [-]!Qing Yao has the advantage of two against one, otherwise they would not be able to persist for most of the day under the superior "magic power" and almost crazy fighting will of the Ming army.

But now, the disillusioned "Middle Qing Demons" and "Little Qing Demons" have been defeated and gradually plunged into the dark battlefield, where green battalion soldiers and Han troops wearing blue and blue-gray cloth masks are everywhere.Some are from Guangxi's Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong's troops, some are from the Northern Army led by Sun Sike, and there are also Pingfan Banner Army and Green Battalion soldiers who have been stationed in Guangdong for many years. run away.

The red waves of the Ming army slapped the chaotic crowd from the west, north, and south directions, driving them towards Qingqi in the east.

Passing through several pontoon bridges erected on the Qingqiyong River, returning to the old camp of Qingqizhai, and then relying on the Qingqiyong River to persevere, is probably the last hope of the collapsed Qing army.

……

"Military Master, the navy of the Qing Yao seems to have lined up outside Qingqiyong. It seems that they want to fight us to the death outside Qingqiyong... We have finally cornered the surnamed Shi!"

"Military division, let the Humen navy, the last general, take the lead in rushing to clear Qiyong!"

At this time, Zhuge Sanhe, a landlubber military strategist who can't swim and is still seasick, is on a Portuguese-style galley on the water of the Xijiang River. .

It turns out that at the same time as the decisive battle on land in Guicheng, there was also a big battle on the water of Xijiang!

The opponents were Zhuge Sanhe, Yu Xiaoqian, and the Ming army navy commanded by Su Zhanshan, and the Qing army Xijiang navy commanded by Shi Lang.

Of course, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle. After all, the strength of the Ming army's navy far exceeds that of Shi Lang's Xijiang navy!

However, Shi Lang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He fought and retreated when both his troops and warships were at a disadvantage, and withdrew most of his troops to the intersection of Qingqiyong and Xijiang—his water village was put it there.

After withdrawing to the junction of Qingqiyong and Xijiang, Shi Lang stopped running, but ordered the fleet to line up against Qingqiyong, and assumed the posture of "fighting against the land"-his executive Lang was still in Qingqiyong. In Yongshui Village, "Kangxi machine guns" and a batch of sugar fire mines are ambushed, waiting for Zhuge Sanhe's navy to approach!

"What are you fighting for? It's getting dark..." Zhuge Sanhe, who had been in a coma for a whole day, was still in the mood to fight at night with the lights on?

"Then... we can't retreat, can we?"

"Yeah, the saint just won a big victory on land!"

Zhuge Sanhe shook his goose-feather fan, "What kind of soldiers are retreating? Burn them with sky fire! Send me those ten sky-fire sandships equipped with machine guns... Our army division wants to attack with fire!"

Chapter 233: The figure jumps into the river!

It was late at night and the fire was on.

The water surface of the Xijiang River outside Qingqi Chung was blazing into the sky. It seemed that everything floating on the water was burning, even the surface of the water was burning.

The fire also spread from the water to the land, and the Qingqiyong water villages of the Qing army standing on the east bank of Qingqiyong and the north bank of the Xijiang River were also burned and burned into a sea of ​​flames.

And the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were defeated again!

In the middle of the night after Tuhai lost the land battle in Guicheng Capital, a fire broke out on the water of the Xijiang River, which ruined the Qing army's Xijiang Navy, which was not very powerful... This is Shi Lang, the naval general. The second fiasco after being activated by Kangxi!

But just like last time, General Shi Lang still doesn't have to be responsible for the defeat—"Shi defeat is the mother of success"!

And the blame for this failure was all borne by Wu Sangui alone!

If Wu Sangui rebelled, Hunan would be lost.In addition, Tuhai had suffered a disastrous defeat in Guicheng before, and Guangdong would also lose, and the waterway leading to Guangxi was also blocked by Zhu Heqi.The Xijiang navy has no way to escape, and its sinking is inevitable.

Therefore, Shi Lang's Xijiang navy is meaningless, and his next battlefield will probably be the Yangtze River.

Besides, Xijiang Navy has only opened for a few days?How could it be possible to beat the navy of the Ming army with a "pirate background"?Although Zhu Heqi's navy has not been open for a long time, they now occupy the two "pirate dens" of Chaozhou and Guangfu. Su Suli, the one-time One Piece King with a big belly, and three generations of Zheng Jinghe Lei, Qiong, and Lianfu One Piece King Chen Shangchuan were allies, and they also controlled the small international trade city of Macau and the international trade village of Huangpu Village.That really requires ships and people, and it is also possible to conscript armed civilian ships to participate in the war by means of temporary recruitment.

Now Su Zhanshan and Yu Xiaoqian, the sailors of the ships in the hands of the two naval commanders, are mostly recruited temporarily.However, these sailors and ships summoned temporarily are better than Shi Lang's Xijiang navy... If they can't beat the landlubber navy from Guangdong, how can they do smuggling?

What's more, there is also a Zhuge military division who "knows fire attack best" on the side of the Ming army navy division!

Although this Zhuge military division may not necessarily be able to fight water battles, he can set fires!Directly mobilized ten "Sky Fire Ships", and threw the "cocktail-type fierce fire oil" prepared by Zhu Heqi on the Qing army fleet one by one.Even if the boat cannot be hit, after the "oil tank" breaks on the water surface, the fire oil inside will float on the water surface and burn... People on the boat can't even jump into the water to escape!

If the "oil tank" happened to hit the Qing army warship, then the ship would be over.The "cocktail" prepared by Zhu Heqi is sticky, sticking and burning!

But Shi Lang was still clever... He had seen the Skyfire of the Ming Army in Fujian, and he knew that it was powerful, and even the Dutch "speedboat" suffered disaster.

So when he saw that the other party went straight to the sky fire, he immediately knew it was going to die.So without hesitation, he took a group of Hu Jian's old brothers to abandon the ship and landed, and they didn't even want the water village... just burn it!

Anyway, if it is not burned, it will be captured by the Ming army.As long as he keeps his group of old brothers, he is not afraid that there will be no admiral of the Yangtze River Navy who can do it.

At present, Emperor Kangxi doesn't have many naval talents. He, Shi Lang, has the experience of "repeated defeats and repeated battles"!

Moreover, Shi Lang's trip to Guangdong wasn't in vain, he had an unexploded sugar rocket in his hand.

They were picked up last night in the Qing army camp in Guicheng. At that time, a total of two were picked up, and they were all kept by Deng Zhong.And Deng Zhong was worried that he might have an accident, so he sent one to Shi Lang.

In this way, as long as one of them is safe and sound, they can send this "magic weapon" to Beijing for the emperor and Zhang Zhenren to study it carefully.

Because he saved his old brother, he picked up another life-saving magic weapon, and he also expected that he would be greatly used after Wu Sangui sent troops to Huguang.

So Shi Lang, who was running away, was actually in a good mood... he was almost humming a little tune.

However, his happy escape didn't last long. When the sky was getting brighter, he was on the east bank of Qingqiyong near Suijiang, and met the broken soldiers of the brigade who escaped from the west of Qingqiyong.

These people were in a bit of a panic when they were defeated. They all lost their helmets and armor, and they were in a mess, and they all became frightened birds.

As long as they heard the piercing sound of "Jie Jie Jie" coming from the air, they would panic, form a mess, and run away.

On the other side of Qingqiyong, at this time, Ming army pursuers holding torches also appeared.The number of people is not clear, but there must be a lot of torches, densely packed in rows.From time to time, those chasing soldiers set up turtledove foot muskets and fired a burst of guns at the east bank of Qingqiyong.

Although it would not cause much casualties, every time a shot was fired, the Qing army on the east bank of the river would panic for a while.

Weapons, armor, luggage, etc. have been thrown everywhere, and some soldiers who don’t know whether they are injured or too tired to walk are sitting on the side of the road and crying... Listening to their accents, They should be from the north, most of them can't speak Cantonese, it's useless to pretend to be ordinary people with their braids cut off, but they will be captured by the Ming army, and they will have to do hard labor if they don't kill their heads!

But Shi Lang wouldn't worry about the life and death of these Yankees, all he cared about now was Tu Hai Tu Tang.

That is the chief academician who won the trust of Emperor Kangxi!Even if he lost the battle, with Wu Sangui helping to take the blame, at most he would be dismissed and stay in his post.Moreover, Wu Sangui joined the army, and Emperor Kangxi also needed a capable and reliable minister to guard the Yangtze River. This Tuhai is the best candidate!

For Shi Lang, the more important thing is that Tu Hai gets along with him fairly happily these days. If it is another boss, what if he is not easy to get along with?

So Shi Lang, who found out that Tu Hai had suffered a terrible defeat, was a little anxious, and hurriedly led his men to search for it all the way. While searching for it, he yelled at them in Hokkien Mandarin: "Master Tu, Mr. Tu... Where are you?"

In the end, they yelled all the way until the sky was bright, and the group ran to the edge of Suijiang, which was crowded with defeated Qing soldiers. They didn't find Tuhai, but they encountered a Sun Yanling who was about to collapse.

Sun Yanling was on the edge of the Suijiang River under the escort of a group of Goshhas. He thought he had no boats in the past, and he couldn't swim, so he was jumping and cursing!

"Who the hell is so wicked? If you drive the boat over, it won't come back. Fuck you, this is no way for people to live! Princess, I'm going to die, how can you live..."

Hearing Sun Yanling's scolding, Shi Lang understood why so many people were blocked on the bank of Suijiang River.It turned out that someone had left him on the bank of the Suijiang River for emergencies. The dozen or so wooden boats he had sailed to the opposite bank, and then he just abandoned the boat and ran ashore.

But it doesn't matter, the small Suijiang River is not a problem for Shi Lang's old Hokkien brothers... They are all ancestral pirates, and can they be blocked by a small river?

So Shi Lang hurriedly found Sun Yanling who was jumping and cursing, and asked, "General Dingnan, do you know where Master Tu is? Master Tu, he didn't die for his country, did he?"

When Sun Yanling saw Shi Lang and the old Fujian pirates under him, he knew that there was help. His face was full of surprise, and he hurried forward to hold Shi Lang's big callused hands, "Shi Junmen, it's great to see you... They are all on the opposite bank, Master Tu, Vice General Sun, and Ma Junmen and I are blocked on the south bank of the Sui River!"

Only then did Shi Lang heave a sigh of relief, "As long as Master Tu is still there, as long as Master Tu is still here... It doesn't matter if the boat is on the other side, I'll send someone to swim there and bring the boat back!"

Hearing Shi Lang's words, Sun Yanling wept with joy, crying and shouting: "Master Tu, Master Tu, there is a way to survive, the people of Shi Junmen can swim, and they can swim across the Suijiang River..."

While crying and shouting, Sun Yanling pulled Shi Lang and ran towards the bank of the Suijiang River, but before he reached the water's edge, he heard anxious shouts coming from ahead.

"It's not good! In the picture, Tang jumped into the river!"

"Hurry up and save someone, Tutang jumped into the river..."

Shi Lang was also a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted forward: "Tutang, Tutang, you have to hold on, someone Shi is here to get you!"

Volume Five: The Rebellion of the Two Domains

Chapter 234 The Two Dragons Fight, and the Qing Dynasty Benefits?

On the night of November 11, 21th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Sihui County.

This small county located on the bank of Suijiang River and belonging to Zhaoqing Prefecture has now become a "difficult barracks" for the Qing soldiers. All the houses in the city have been occupied by the swarming Qing army.Needless to say, the people in the city must have suffered.The gang of Qing soldiers in Guichengdu and Qingqi on the south bank of the Sui River couldn't beat the Ming army, and they couldn't bully the people in Sihui City?

In the small county town, there are rapes and robbers everywhere, and desperate cries can be heard everywhere... But the cries of the common people can't move Ma Jia Tuhai, the former general of the Qing Dynasty and the Nanjing Coalition who was quite strict in running the army. .

This general Tu, who knows a little bit about water skills, heard that Shi Lang was here this morning, and decisively staged a good show of committing suicide by jumping into the river to win sympathy. The main responsibility for the defeat of the battle is of course Wu Sangui. , but what about secondary responsibilities?The big black pot is surnamed Wu, but what about the little black pot?

So it doesn't matter whether Tuhai jumps into the river or not, it's the attitude that matters!

He is the little holy lord Kangxi in Beijing and the people below to show his attitude of taking responsibility!

However, this jumping into the river can only appease generals like Sun Yanling, Sun Sike, Ma Xiong, Yan Ziming, and Shi Lang, and at the same time give the little Emperor Kangxi a reason to forgive him.

So Tuhai can only relax military discipline and let these defeated soldiers harm the common people in Guangdong... At least he will not rectify military discipline until his remnant army withdraws from Guangdong.

General Tu, who turned a deaf ear to the cries of the people in Sihui, had changed into a clean official uniform at this time, and sat in the lobby of the Sihui County Government with a gloomy face, with Sun Yanling, Sun Sike, Ma Xiong, Yan Ziming, Shi Lang , and his confidant military adviser Zhou Peigong to discuss countermeasures together!

"Zhongtang, the boat on the Suijiang River has been burned, and the thousands of brothers who are still on the south bank have been captured by the rebels... There are about 5000 to [-] brothers who have crossed the river."

It was Shi Lang who was reporting to Tu Hai the situation of crossing the river and evacuating. After he salvaged Tu Hai "with courage", his men swam across the Suijiang River and used the wooden boat thrown in the north of the river as a ferry.Carrying people back and forth, the Ming army had to burn the wooden boats and stop the rescue until the Ming army pursued them across Qingqiyong and killed them on the shore of Suijiang.

"Four to five thousand..." Tu Hai muttered in a low voice, "Including the defenders in Qingyuan, Yingde, and Shaozhou, there are less than 4 people. Now there is only a small army of more than [-] people left. The sea owes the emperor's favor!"

Hearing Tu Hai's words, several senior officials present all lowered their heads and fell silent.This battle was indeed a bit miserable!It is certain that he has owed the emperor's kindness, but how the emperor will be furious?

"Zhongtang," Zhou Pei said, "our defeat here was caused by Wu Sangui's treason. It was not a crime of war! The emperor is a wise master, and he will definitely not blame us. For the current plan, it is Stop the offensive of the two traitors, Pseudo-Ming and Wu Sangui as soon as possible, and prevent them from sweeping Jiangnan! Jiangnan is the foundation of the country's taxes, and if there is any loss, the court will have nothing to pay!"
