Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

……

At the same time that Wu Sangui and Zhu Heqi were holding fists to say goodbye, outside the gate of Qingtian Ruiqing Palace, a man and a woman were also saying goodbye and whispering in each other.

This couple is exactly Wu Yingxiong and Kong Sizhen.

"My father said that he will look at Anqing's gains and losses... As long as Anqing is captured by Zhu Heqi, he will immediately order my second and third younger brothers to march to the north! My father wants you to talk to Kangxi and let him learn. Emperor Yuan Shun, just go back outside the pass! My father also said that he would not be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who always wanted to drive Bei Yuan to extinction. As long as he had the territory in the Great Wall, he was satisfied, so Kangxi could spend the rest of his life outside the pass with peace of mind. .”

Kong Sizhen listened to Wu Yingxiong talking about Wu Sangui's final decision, and his eyebrows gradually frowned: "Brother Wu... If Kangxi loses Anqing, his troops must suffer a heavy loss! Your second brother will lead Wu Guogui, Wu Shicong, and Ma Bao. The Northern Expedition will be fierce, and it may be really overwhelming, and the city of Beijing will be captured in one fell swoop. At that time, the number one hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably be your second brother!"

Wu Yingxiang sighed: "What can I do? My father trusts his family... His [-] iron cavalry is not at ease for anyone except his second child! Shilin and I don't know how to lead troops, so what can we do?" ?”

Kong Sizhen lowered his voice and said: "Brother Wu...the lesson learned by Li Jiancheng and Zhu Yunqi, we must not forget it! My family is still loyal to your second brother, but your nephew has the attitude of the eagle watching the wolf, so we must guard against it!"

Chapter 360 Kang Mazi can't be Qing Shunzong!

With a bang, the desk in the South Study Room of the Hall of Martial Arts fell to the ground, and the eunuchs and maids standing around bowed their heads in fright, lying on the ground at once.Duo Long, the Minister of Internal Affairs who was guarding the door, rushed in in a panic. Seeing that Kangxi was safe and well, and that Kong Sizhen did not "explode", he was relieved.

Just now he personally searched Kong Sizhen's body, searched up and down... really didn't find the hidden thunder!

So when he heard "Boom", he was frightened.Thinking that he didn't investigate carefully, Kong Sizhen brought the sky thunder to blow up the pockmarked emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was fine and that Kong Sizhen hadn't exploded, Duolong stepped back and continued to show the emperor the gate.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, a group of bachelors who had just been conferred the title of Minister of the South Study Room were obediently lying on the ground without daring to stand on the ground.Only Kong Sizhen knelt on the soft futon alone, and did not plead guilty, but smiled and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... why are you angry? President Wu said that the winner will be determined in the battle of Anqing." Isn’t it a good thing to wait and see what happens before? Your majesty, you can now concentrate on fighting with the surname Zhu in Anqing! Your majesty, don’t you think that you can’t beat Zhu and Qi in Anqing?”

"How could it be impossible to defeat?" Kangxi's face was ashen, "My Eight Banners new army has 20 strong soldiers, strong horses, and well-equipped armor... If Zhu and Qi don't come to attack Anqing, I will lead the army to go there when the autumn is clear." Recover Jiangxi!"

Kangxi is not bragging, he really has a plan to take back Jiangxi with his army - although he has never been to Jiangxi, but he left his "head" in Jiangxi!He has to go and get it back, or his back will not be hardened!

Not to mention anything else, he didn't dare to kill that Huang Zongxi until now, and let him enjoy the blessings in the mansion in Bird Clothes Lane.

Is this possible before he is "beheaded" by Zhu Hechi?impossible!

All ten Huang Zongxi were killed!

But now, every time Kangxi wanted to kill Huang Zongxi, he would have a lot of worries in his heart, for fear that after killing Huang Zongxi, there would be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Heqi would take the opportunity to attack him again!

The matter of being "decapitated" by Zhu Heqi has now become a heart problem for him. If it is not cured, a generation of "holy masters" might really become Qing Shunzong.

"But Wu Sangui won't deceive me?" Emperor Kangxi said with a gloomy face, "He and Zhu Heqi published the "Letter to the Heroes of the World" and "The Essay on Pursuing Qing Dynasty"... What do you say that the first to enter Beijing is the king! He Don’t you want to rush into Beijing before Zhu and Qi?”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Kong Sizhen said with a smile, "President Wu thinks there is still a chance to fight Anqing. So he has already made two-handed preparations. If the Emperor wins in Anqing, then he will personally lead the army down the river..."

"Go east to fight Jiangxi?" Emperor Kangxi asked hurriedly.

"Fight Anqing, go to Jiangnan!" Kong Sizhen said.

"Old thief!" Kangxi was furious.

Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "If... if the emperor is defeated, he will send his army north to take the Central Plains and enter Beijing."

"I can't be defeated!" Kangxi roared, but then his pockmarked face regained his composure, and he looked at Kong Sizhen coldly, "Gege, Wu Yingxiong asked you to say these things you said?"

Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are really good at predicting things, these words are indeed what Wu Yingxiong asked his slave to say...but there is absolutely no mistake in your decision."

"Understood!" Kangxi looked at Kong Sizhen, "Tell me the truth, where are you now?"

Kong Sizhen smiled and said: "The slave is the enemy of the Zhu family, and Wu Yingxiong is also the enemy of the Zhu family!"

"Understood!" Kangxi turned his head and said to Gui Gong who was still kneeling on the ground, "Xiao Guizi, send Ge Ge out of the city!"

"Whoo!"

Father-in-law Xiao Guizi hurriedly got up, bowed to Kong Sizhen's side, and said in a low voice: "Ge Ge, please."

Kong Sizhen stood up, saluted Kangxi, then turned around and followed Xiao Guizi to leave the Hall of Martial Arts in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

Seeing Kong Sizhen go out, Emperor Kangxi sighed and said: "Okay, don't lie down on the ground... I still have a discussion with you! Come and help me up the table."

"Ah..."

After a sound of applause, the discussion in the Hall of Martial Arts began again.

Emperor Kangxi asked: "What do you think? That old thief Wu Sangui really plans to watch the fun this time?"

"Your Majesty," Zhuobutai said, "Based on the slave's understanding of Wu Sangui, I'm afraid he will really hurt Zhu Heqi and us both this time."

Tu Hai also said: "Your Majesty, there is no reason for Wu Sangui to help Zhu Heqi fight us... After all, the three points will be unified in the end!"

Emperor Kangxi frowned.

He was a little afraid of hearing the words "three points are unified", because he knew that even if he tried his best to win the battle of Anqing, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.I'm afraid it's not optimistic whether we can survive Wu Sangui's second wave!

This "three points are unified", I am afraid it is either Ming or Zhou!

"Then can Anqing win?" Kangxi asked again.

"can!"

"The chances of winning are great!"

"Your Majesty, the slave also thought he could win!"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely win this time!"

Tuhai, Zhuobutai, Wang Fuchen, and Bahai, the four most capable Nanshufang ministers, rarely gave unanimous opinions.

"Tell me." Kangxi also got excited.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Anqing, I think there are three must-wins. First, the terrain must win! Anqing's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is conducive to the movement of cavalry. It is extremely easy for our army to defend Anqing and assist Anqing.

Second, the navy must win!The Battle of Anqing must be a land and water battle, and Mingming must win both water and land to win, but Mingming's navy is not as good as ours after all.Our navy has many large ships and artillery, and the sailors have been trained for a long time. They were trained by Shi Lang himself, and they are definitely better than the fake sailors.

Three is the number of people must win!This time, the imperial court can use the entire army of the Eight Banners New Army for the battle of Anqing because the navy of the Dutch East India Company is willing to accept the employment of the imperial court to help us defend Ningbo Haikou... so it is guaranteed to win! "

Win again!

Kangxi also heard people say the same thing last time...

"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi still nodded his head heavily, "This time, I still want to personally conquer... I will personally go to the front line of Chuzhou to supervise the battle!"

Well, Zhu and Qi are attacking Anqing Mansion, and Kangxi is in Chuzhou... There is Luzhou Mansion in the middle!

If he loses his head again, then Zhu and Qi must have "cultivated immortals"-know how to use flying swords!

Kangxi paused, and then asked: "Who is going to guard the Anqing Mansion?"

"Slave is willing to go!" Zhuobutai pleaded immediately, "Slave is willing to live and die with Anqing!"

"Okay!" Kangxi said, "Where are the reinforcements?"

"Returning to the emperor," Zhuobutai said, "the reinforcements on land will be placed in Luzhou, and the reinforcements on the water will be placed in Guichi."

"How many troops will be used then?"

Zhuobutai replied: "In the war of overwhelming the country, we should use the soldiers of the overwhelming country...the more the better!"

"Okay!" Kangxi gritted his teeth, "I'm going to fight Zhu Heqi in Anqing!"

……

"My lord, Wu Sangui is indeed a veteran general who has served in the army all his life... What he said hits the nail on the head!"

Nanchang, Jianguo Mansion (formerly Ningwang Mansion), Cunxin Hall.

Zhuge Sanhe, who stayed in Nanchang and was busy with a big business in the military division's mansion, just listened to Zhu Heqi's wholesale statement about the Battle of Anqing from Wu Sangui, and immediately expressed his agreement.

I can't accept it!

Wu Sangui's military command ability is still much stronger than Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Sanhe and them...Although with the lead in "magic", Zhu Heqi may also defeat Wu Sangui.

Zhu Hechi asked Zhuge Sanhe, "Military Master, how do you want to fight?"

"We can't rush, we can only fight slowly." Zhuge Sanhe looked at a map placed on the conference table, "There are many strongholds on the outskirts of Anqing, we have to pull them out one by one, and then set up a defense line to block the reinforcements, and finally lay a siege to the city. Siege the city while fighting against demon reinforcements... This is actually not a problem, but the victory or defeat of the Battle of Anqing should not only depend on the land, but also on the water!"

Chapter 361 Kang Mazi, do you know why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom disappeared?

"On the water?"

Zhu Heqi immediately understood what Zhuge Sanhe meant.

He said "on the water", not on the sea or on the river.Instead, the river and the sea were linked, and the siege of Kang Mazi in Nanjing was the same as when the Hunan and Huai armies besieged the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from east and west.

Zhu Heqi smiled and asked, "What does the military division mean, while fighting Kang Mazi on the frontal battlefield in Anqing, we send troops to go northward by sea to Ningbo, Dinghai, and Songjiang, and then attack Nanjing from the east?"

"Guanguo is wise!" Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile, "However, the sea route is not limited to Ningbo, Dinghai, Songjiang... You have to go north to Tianjin when the time is right, to give Kang Mazi a final blow!"

Yes, this is the route of the British and French coalition forces!

After all, Kang Mazi is not the leader of Hong, he has a Beijing city besides Nanjing!

"Military division," Zhu Heqi asked again, "How should Anqing fight? Is it a feint or a real fight?"

Zhuge Sanhe said: "Jianguo, I think it should be a real fight!" He paused, and then said, "According to the latest information we have obtained, the Eight Banners new army of the Qing Yao has the Eight Banners of the land division, plus 16 thousand navy troops, The total strength is as high as [-]. If we don't suck them into the Anqing battlefield, it will not be easy for our troops who landed in Ningbo, Dinghai, and Songjiang to quickly open up the situation... Maybe the Qing Yao will be driven into the sea go."

"That's right, Anqing must fight well!" Zhu Heqi laughed, "This will make it difficult for Kang Mazi to take care of both ends. When he loses in two ways, let my father go north to Tianjin and fight against the third prince Zhu." The banner, maybe it can be passed on to Beijing!"

It is impossible to decide Beijing, but it is possible to add 20 taels of gold!

Zhuge Sanhe is not very interested in the matter of "Beijing depends on buying", that is Yang Qilong's responsibility, and his current attention is still on the battlefield, especially the Anqing battlefield.

"Jianguo," Zhuge Junshi said, "The terrain of Anqing is not very favorable for us, and Kang Mazi's people have been stationed in Anqing for several months...not only did they pull up seven iron locks on the river near Anqing, chain, built two pontoon bridges, and even built a bastion on the south bank of the Yangtze River opposite Anqing City!"

"Bastion?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood, "It's a good thing those Portuguese slaves did!"

Zhuge Sanhe said: "It is said that the bastion was well built, and layers of fortifications were built on the inland side, and two trenches were dug. Forts with concave corners, half-moon forts, hollow bastions, solid bastions, battlements... It's terribly complicated!

In addition, there is also news that Anqing City is now being rebuilt with the help of those Portuguese slaves, and it won't be long before it will be as tough as this South Bank bastion. "

The intelligence of Army Master Zhuge is actually a bit inaccurate.The reconstruction plan of Anqing City and the construction plan of Anqing South Fort were not proposed by the Portuguese slaves of Kangxi.The main design of these two bastions was actually made by Kangxi himself!

He is a master!

Moreover, last year, the Dutch East India Company donated a batch of books on building bastions to Kang Xueba with malicious intentions!

Kang Xueba didn't sleep for several nights, so he stayed up late to read all these books, and he understood them.

Then he put forward the draft for the reconstruction of Anqing City Bastion and the construction of Anqing South Bastion.The governor of the Dutch East India Company, Masiike, sent several Dutch engineers to Anqing with Kangxi's Portuguese slaves and Kangxi's blueprints.While constructing, Kangxi's plan was modified according to the actual terrain conditions.After a few months of busy work, it finally has a little appearance.

"No matter how complicated the bastion is, we can take it down... This matter is on my shoulders!" Zhu Heqi was full of confidence, "Military division, tell me about your Anqing battle strategy!"

"Jian Guo, please come here." Zhuge Sanhe moved a few steps along the long table while waving his goose-feather fan, and stood beside a map of Anhui spread out on the long table. and.

Zhu Heqi also moved over and stood beside the map.He looked down and found that many red and cyan lines had been drawn on the map.These lines all have arrows pointing to Anqing from east, west, north.

In addition, in Anqing City, Anqing South City, and Guichi County, three large circles were drawn with blue lines, and there were also some small circles outlined with red lines.

Zhu and Qi took a closer look at the red lines and found that they marked the offensive routes of the two stages.The first stage is marked with a dotted line, the second stage with a solid line.

The red dotted lines in the first stage are all in the south of the Yangtze River, starting from Madang Town in Jiangxi, advancing eastward along the Yangtze River, and taking down Xiangkou Town, Jiande County, Dongliu County, Zhangxi Town, Yantian Town, Huangshiji After waiting for the stronghold, we will go to Qingnan City in Lin'an again.And around the strongholds "taken down" by the red dotted lines, a small circle is drawn with red lines.The meaning is obvious, it is to fortify!

This should be a step-by-step, hard-working plan.

At the end of these red dotted lines is the Anqing South City Bastion - the red dotted line forms a semi-encirclement around the Anqing South City Bastion.

The red solid line in the second stage starts from Xiangkou Town in Anhui.

The solid red line will cross the Yangtze River, take Huayang Town on the opposite bank under the jurisdiction of Wangjiang County, and then take down Wangjiang County, then pass through the narrow flat land between Wuchang Lake and Po Lake, and go straight to the river on the bank of the Wanshui River. Shipai Town.After crossing the Wanshui River from Shipai, they bypassed a hill to the north of Anqing City and went to the north of Anqing to attack Jixian Pass.After taking down Jixian Pass, you can complete the three-sided siege of Anqing North City.

But only Shi Lang's Yangtze River Navy is not finished, no matter whether Anqing North City or South City, there is no way to be trapped to death.

"Shi Lang's navy camp is in Guichi?" Zhu Heqian glanced at the map and saw the blue circle around Guichi County.

"It's in Guichi," Zhuge Sanhe said, "It is reported that there are no less than [-] soldiers in the Qing Yaoguichi water battalion, and hundreds of large and small ships.

In addition, the Qing army placed artillery on Anqing and Anqing South City that could shoot at the river surface... Once there was a water battle on the river near Anqing, our navy had to engage the forts on land and warships on the water at the same time. "

"Understood!" Zhu Heqi nodded, "We must destroy the Anqing South City Bastion first, then the water battle, and finally surround the Anqing North City!"

"Jianguo," Zhuge Sanhe said, "I predict that once the southern city of Anqing is in danger, Kangxi may mobilize the main force of the Eight Banners New Army to attack south from Luzhou Prefecture, and fight with me in the north of Anqing!

And once his army is thrown into the decisive battle in Anqing, Songjiang and Ningbo will be empty...the opportunity has come! "

"Okay!" Zhu Heqi slapped his hands, "Then Dao Scarrong and my father's chance will come!"

As soon as Zhu Heqi's words fell, Zhu Tianwang's laughter suddenly sounded in the courtyard outside: "Dao Scarong, can you see if I can pinch and count? We just entered the courtyard, so he will be here." !"

Immediately after that came the voice of Da Boling, who Zhu Heqi thought about day and night: "Father, Master Shi didn't mention Nu and Sister Shuzhen... His calculations are still not accurate enough!"

Hearing this voice, Zhu and Qi couldn't bear it any longer, hurriedly took three steps into two, and rushed out of the Hall of Cultivation as if flying.When I got outside the main hall, I saw that there was already a large group of people in the courtyard!

Not only Zhu Tianwang, Dao Barong, Da Boling, Qiu Shuzhen, Bei Jiaxin, but also Princess Kunxing and her apprentice Yang Xiaoqi, and Zhou Yubing, the concubine of Zhu and Yan Xinna... oh, there are three more nurse with baby!

Da Boling and Bei Jiaxin are both mother and daughter safe...both gave birth to a pink and tender girl for Zhu and Qi.So the eldest lady Qiu Shuzhen was also very happy. When she saw her husband coming out, she went up to greet her husband and said, "Brother Pao, both A Ling and A Xin are safe, and they gave birth to a daughter for you." , you have to reward them well!"
