Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Now Zheng Jing of the Zheng family is Xin Daming's "partner". If he dares to consort, he won't be able to get his skin cramped?

So even though the world is divided into three parts, Hong Shiming can only love Daqing!

Kangxi thought to himself: "He is still a complete living emperor with a head and a body!"

The method proposed by Hong Shiming... Although it is not the best, it is still a good one!

At this time, Hong Shiming said again: "Your Majesty, you must do your best to fight this battle of Anqing. It's fine if you win, but if you don't win... the Heavenly Soldiers must have suffered heavy losses, Wu Sangui's rebel will be there at that time." The Northern Expedition, what can we do in the Qing Dynasty? That's why the slaves thought of this trick."

"But can he succeed in this trick?" Kangxi asked in an inaudible voice, "If Wu Sangui wants to do this, it will be infamous for thousands of years!"

"Your Majesty!" Hong Shiming said, "Since ancient times, there have been winners and losers... As long as Wu Sangui can conquer half of the country and establish a Southern Zhou dynasty, will future generations be afraid that no one will sing his praises?"

"Then he went north to seize Beijing, so he can open up a later Northern Zhou Dynasty?" Kangxi asked, "Maybe there is still a chance to unify the world!"

"Your Majesty," Hong Shiming shook his head, "That's Zhu Wu fighting for the world, and I, the Qing Dynasty, are begging for our lives... There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Beijing. One hundred thousand soldiers can still be gathered together. If the emperor leads one hundred thousand mourners to defend Beijing, Wu Sangui may not be able to win after fighting for two or three years!

Will Zhu and Qi wait for that time?Wouldn't he have taken advantage of Wu Sangui's troops under the city of Beijing to march westward, capture Huguang, and dig Wu Sangui's lair? "

Seems to make sense!

Kangxi said in his heart: "Before Kong Sizhen also came to persuade me to become Qing Shun Emperor after losing Anqing! If I don't become this Qing Shun Emperor, I will learn from Chongzhen, and an emperor will die Sheji... Then I will drag Wu Sangui to die together!"

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "Hong Shiming, I order you to go to Jingzhou immediately and tell Wu Sangui... I will never be Qing Shun Emperor, if I can't win in Anqing, I will return the whole army to the north Go defend Beijing! I will also blow up the Yellow River embankment and flood Henan to prevent him from going north!

Even if I fight everything, I will drag Wu Sangui to die together. This is the Three Kingdoms!

If he doesn’t want to be stolen by Zhu Heqi when the Northern Expedition fails for a long time, then he will send troops to fight Zhu Heqi... I promise to give him all the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huizhou. From now on, the two countries will be brothers! "

Hong Shiming let out a sigh of relief, saluted and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chapter 367 Headguard War——The First Battle is the Most Critical!

"My servant respectfully invites the emperor's holy peace..."

In the South Study Room of the Hall of Martial Arts, the voices of the good servants of the Qing Dynasty "Respectfully invite Sheng An" sounded again.

Today's weather is very hot, and the sun outside is so hot that it can melt people.And the servants in the Hall of Martial Heroes were sweating profusely, and they were almost suffering from heatstroke.

But now the head of the little holy master of the Qing Dynasty is facing a huge risk of moving for the second time. At this time, a slave can't be afraid of death. Can he still be afraid of heat?Therefore, there are quite a few ministers of the South Study Room in Nanjing, all of whom came in the heat of the day. They were all fully dressed, and their robes and coats were neat. Although they were all summer equipment, they were still too hot to breathe. son.

"Let's be flat, let's all be flat!"

The servants who were kneeling below were dripping with heat and sweat, when Emperor Kangxi's brisk voice suddenly sounded.

This is rare!

Ever since this Long Live Lord lost his head, he has rarely been so happy.

The big servants who were kneeling at the bottom got up and peeked up at the same time.I saw Emperor Kangxi in ordinary clothes, sitting on the throne, fanning his fan with a smile.There was a victor's smile on his pockmarked face.Seeing that the group of slaves had climbed up and took their positions, he smiled and said, "I received a note jointly signed by Zhuobutai and Mi Sihan from Anqing early this morning, saying that Madang Township in Jiangxi Province has been very popular these days. There is a lot of turmoil, and fake soldiers and horses arrive every day, and they are still rushing to build fortresses day and night. It seems that Ma Dang is going to be the place where the army gathers..."

When he said these words, his tone was brisk, giving people a feeling that "the emperor has a plan in his chest", and the people below immediately felt relieved.

However, what Emperor Kangxi said next was in a deep tone: "It is obvious what the puppet Ming army will do after they gather in Madang. Nanjing City... wants my head on this necklace! Tell me, can I give them my head?"

"cannot!"

The big servants all said in unison that they couldn't.

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The head on this item cannot be handed over to someone named Zhu, nor can the land in Jiangnan be handed over to someone surnamed Zhu, and even the city of Anqing cannot be given to someone surnamed Zhu... Rise and death, my life and death, all depend on Anqing! Now that the big battle is imminent, if you have any good ways to defeat the enemy, come and listen to them!"

Kangxi's words were very serious, and he assumed an attitude of life and death in Anqing - this attitude is actually very correct, but the people below should not know that there is another "cutting Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hui to borrow Zhou division to suppress Xinming" way.Otherwise, the people below would not work hard!

"Your Majesty!" Wang Fuchen was the first to leave the class and knelt down, "This servant thinks that if the battle of Anqing is to be fought well, the most important thing is to fight well in the first battle. We must give the puppet Ming army a blow and let them know that our Qing soldiers can still fight. call taxi."

Kangxi nodded, "Wang Fuchen, tell me, where should we fight this first battle? And how should we fight?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen said, "this slave thought that the first battle would be fought in Xiangkou Town! Although Xiangkou Town is not big, its location is very important. It is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, with Madang on the west and Wangjiang County on the north after crossing the Yangtze River. In Huayang Town, you can reach Anqing Nanbao directly to the east.

If the puppet Ming army wants to fight Anqing, they must take Xiangkou in the first battle... If we want to fight well in the first battle, we must first rely on a small number of elites to rely on the strong base, defend Xiangkou, and consume the puppet Ming army.After the veterans of the division are exhausted, they will advance with a large army by land and water to pounce on the puppet Ming army that besieged Xiangkou. In this way, even if they cannot win a complete victory, they can still defeat the puppet Ming army and let them know that our Qing soldiers still have to fight hard. courage!

As long as the puppet Ming army has a fear of the heavenly soldiers, the next battle of Anqing will be easy to fight! "

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, and turned his attention to Zhou Peigong, his military advisor.

Zhou Peigong is now enlisted in the Imperial Academy, and also got an errand to travel to the South Study Room. Although he is not as high-ranking as the Minister of the South Study Room, he still deeply feels the mighty kindness of the Emperor, so what he thinks about day and night is how to repay his kindness.

For the upcoming battle of Anqing, of course he has put his mind to it, and he and Wang Fuchen thought of going together!

Seeing Kangxi's questioning gaze, Zhou Peigong hurried out of the class and knelt down, and replied: "Your Majesty, my servant Zhou Peigong also thinks that the battle of Xiangkou is very important!

Moreover, it is summer now, and Jiangnan is humid and rainy in summer. Both gunpowder and sugar powder are prone to moisture failure, which is extremely beneficial to our Qing soldiers.

In addition, the river near Xiangkou Town is narrow, so as long as a large number of artillery is deployed in Huayang Town in the north of the river, it is enough to destroy the warships of the puppet Ming army who dared to attack Xiangkou Town from the waterway.

Twenty miles south of Xiangkou Town, there are continuous mountains in southern Anhui.Although the mountain is not high, the forest is quite dense, which is a good place to ambush soldiers.In particular, there is a county town of Jiande in the mountains, where tens of thousands of elite soldiers can fit in.

The terrain around Xiangkou Town is not very open, and there are many lakes and rivers.There can't be too many soldiers and horses, so there won't be too many puppet Ming troops besieging Xiangkou Town.

As long as we station troops in Huayang and control the river with artillery and water troops, while ambush Jiande County, a pocket formation will be formed. "

"Well said!" Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Peigong, a military strategist, is still very good at analysis, and he speaks clearly and logically.

Hearing Kangxi's applause, Zhou Peigong was already a little bit elated, and then analyzed: "When the puppet Ming army has been attacking for a long time, we can go out both by water and land, and put them in our pockets in one fell swoop... Even if we can't succeed, we can put them in our pockets." The puppet Ming army has been forced to retreat!"

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "Just arrange it like this... Zhou Peigong!"

"The slave is here!"

"I order you to rush to the Anqing army immediately, and inform Zhuobutai and Mi Sihan of the strategy of the Xiangkou battle. If they think it is feasible, they will follow it!"

"Whoo!"

Kangxi then shouted, "Wang Fuchen!"

"The slave is here!"

Kangxi said: "I order you and Fei Yanggu to lead the Eight Banners New Army and the Zhengbai Banner New Army together, and rush to the Anqing Army immediately to listen! If Zhuobutai and Mi Sihan agree with the strategy of the Xiangkou Battle, you and Fei Yanggu Immediately lead troops into Jiande County!"

Fei Yanggu was the younger brother of the Kangxi Taama's favorite Dong E family, the hereditary third-class earl.Before this wave of world chaos, he was also one of the "porter ministers" in the bodyguard.Because he was very strong, Yue Le took a fancy to him and took him to Jiangning for training.

Originally, Yue Le wanted to take him with him when he went to Henan, but Kangxi saw how talented he was, so he left him to join Wang Fuchen and lead the most elite Zhengbai Banner New Army among the Eight Banners New Army.

"Hey!" Wang Fuchen prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly, "This servant will be smashed to pieces, and I will not fail the emperor's grace!"

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, "Wang Fuchen, I don't want you to be smashed to pieces, I want you to return triumphant!"

Wang Fuchen bowed again, "Your Majesty will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!"

Kangxi then said: "Tuhai!"

"The slave is here!"

Kangxi said loudly: "I order you to rush to the Guichi navy army immediately, and together with Shi Lang to rectify the navy, be ready to march into Xiangkou at any time, and fight the bandits decisively!"

Tuhai kowtowed and said: "Slave...get the decree!"

The so-called Eight Banners New Army is actually not the Eight Banners Army, but nine armies, and the extra one is the naval army jointly led by Tu Hai and Shi Lang.

In this first battle of Xiangkou, Kangxi's troops to be dispatched include Zhuobutai and Zhao Liangdong's Xianghuangqi new army (currently stationed in Anqing), Tuhai and Shi Lang's navy (currently stationed in Guichi), Wang Fuchen and The Zhengbai Banner new army led by Fei Yanggu (currently stationed in Taiping Prefecture).There are a total of three armies, and the total number of troops invested will be close to 6, which can be said to be enough capital!

Finally, Kangxi raised his voice and said: "Although the battle of Xiangkou was only the first battle, it was related to the overall situation and we must not slack off in the slightest. Therefore, I will personally lead the new army of the Zhenghuang Banner to garrison Qingliu Pass, and help all the troops! You work hard to kill the thief, and win as soon as possible!"

"Slave, wait... for the order!"

Chapter 368 Going to the South of the Yangtze River—Strengthen the Stronghold and Fight Silly!

The entire east of Madang Town has become a large construction site!

A large simple bastion is under intense construction.The terrain of Madang Town is a riverside town sandwiched between two hills on the edge of the Yangtze River, a natural river defense fortress.However, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, one word - small!

There is a small town between two hills, and there is no depth, and it is not too crowded for an army.

Fortunately, the terrain to the southeast of Madang Town is relatively wide, which can be used to build a fortress that can house tens of thousands of troops.

Now the camp site for tens of thousands of people is almost leveled.

Folk husbands recruited from all over Jiangxi are devouring fried rice noodles with lard and eggs.Clustered together, the aroma of fried rice noodles filled the air.The foreman was still yelling: "I repeat, you are not allowed to drink unboiled water after you go back... Wash your hands frequently, take a bath frequently, and if anyone has a fever or diarrhea, you must report it immediately!

In addition, starting tomorrow, we will be digging trenches, building walls, and building houses... Is there anyone who can do fine carpentry?Double the wages!Is there anyone willing to go into the mountains to cut trees?The wages are also doubled!Who Signs Up? "

The new Ming Dynasty's policy in Jiangxi is similar to that in Guangdong, and it is also based on the clan as a unit to equalize the land.After equalization of land, equalization of taxes and equalization of labor was implemented.And this "service" is divided into military service and labor service. Although there is still an element of forced apportionment in it, money will still be paid-now the population is small and the number of strong men is even smaller. Money is a hooligan.

And the courts of Zhu and Qi are also rich now!

The sea trade in Guangdong and Fujian is now up again, and there are several high-profile products such as special white sugar, sugarcane wine, internal factory gunpowder, royal perfume, porcelain, and ironware, which can bring a lot of tax revenue every year.

Among them, several high-quality goods in sugar cane wine, royal perfume and Neichang gunpowder were directly operated by the Bei and Nei No. [-] factories founded by Zhu Heqi, and the profits generated could be lent to the Ministry of Households.

The equalization of land and taxation in Guangdong Province has basically been completed. There are more than 3000 million mu of taxable farmland registered and registered, and the annual land tax can receive more than 300 million shi. More than twice as much!

In addition, there is a large amount of business tax, mining tax, and salt tax revenue.

Now the annual income of a province in Guangdong, converted into silver, exceeds 500 million taels!

Moreover, after Pang Gonggong’s Dongyin Money Factory obtained the management revenue and savings from the imperial court (both moved from the family of the church monk in Macau), it also has the meaning of developing into a "central bank". Help the new Ming court raise some funds.

In short, relying on the financial resources of Guangdong Province, Zhu Heqi's Xin Daming is quite affluent at the moment.Not only can you pay and reward the new army whose number has already exceeded 15, but you can also spend money to buy military rations in Jiangxi, and you can also spend money to hire boats and civilians.

Of course, the hired peasants are more motivated than the captured peasants, so the construction progress of this large simple bastion in Madang is extremely fast.

Now the land leveling and the wooden outline of the bastion have been completed-that is, the shape of a bastion is circled by a wooden fence, and they are all completed now.The next step is to dig trenches, pile up soil, and build houses.

In another ten and a half months, the army will almost be able to come in to take over and deploy defenses.

And when the peasants were building the Madang Bastion in full swing, the officers and soldiers of the third and fourth towns of the army who had already driven to the front of the horse were not idle.They are setting up camps and building forts on the hills on both sides of Madang Town and Madang Town.At the same time, two associations were separated to "build fortifications and advance" along the south bank of the Yangtze River, that is, to build small forts while advancing.

Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Sanhe and their plan to fight Anqing and go to the south of the Yangtze River, of course, is to fortify the stronghold and fight a dull battle!

The reason for this fight is actually the same as Zeng's head shaved in history - not enough troops!

Now Zhu Heqi's troops in Jiangxi are the six towns of the New Army plus the Yangtze River Navy - at the beginning, the Yangtze River Navy was also included in the six towns, so the army that can actually be used for land warfare is five towns.Later, the Yangtze River Navy was strengthened by a group of Guangdong and Fujian sailors, and finally went out independently.

Then the Lu division of the five towns expanded into another town, and became six towns again.Each town has 1 battalions of four associations under its jurisdiction - including one battalion each for artillery, engineering, transportation, and cavalry, sixteen battalions of infantry, plus one division headquarters and four association headquarters, with a total strength of about 500. .The gathering of six towns means 5000 people, plus the navy army of more than 9 people, that is about [-] people.

If these 9 people were all used to fight Kangxi and go to the south of the Yangtze River, the force would be enough.But Zhu and Qi still have to guard against Wu Sangui!

So he set up a town in Tianjia Town——Banbishan Fortress. In addition, he set up a town in Nanchang, Ji'an, Jiujiang, and Yuanzhou. Widely believed.

In this way, the Ming army that can be used to go to the south of the Yangtze River has only four towns and one Yangtze River Navy.

With such a small number of people and the main attack, it seems impossible not to make a fortified camp or fight a dull battle... Anyway, Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe couldn't think of a better way.

In addition, now is the summer from the end of April to May, which is a hot and rainy time.

Zhu Heqi's army relied on sugar medicine to output firepower. In this rainy season, only the fortress with better conditions can provide the conditions for boiling and storing sugar medicine.

Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe have now led a group of men to climb up and down the Bengshan Mountain in the northeast of Madang Town, holding up binoculars to look around, checking the surrounding terrain, and at the same time observing the progress of the Madang Great Bastion in the setting sun.

After watching for a while, Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe both put down the binoculars in their hands.

Zhuge Sanhe, who was in charge of supervising the army on the front line in Madang, said to Zhu Hechi: "Jianguo, in half a month at most, the Madang Fortress will be completely completed... At that time, you can enter the Madang Fortress and take command !"

"How is the situation in Xiangkou Town and Huayang Town?" Zhu Heqi asked, "When can the third and fourth towns march towards Xiangkou Town?"

"We are already marching towards Xiangkou Town!" Zhuge Sanhe said, "There are two passages from Madang to Xiangkou, one passes by the Yangtze River, and the other passes by the mountains in the south, with a lake and a swamp in the middle. The army was unable to pass through. The minister planned to let the third and fourth towns take the north passage, step by step, and slowly advance to the area of ​​Xiangkou Town.

As for the troops in Xiangkou Town..."

"Report..." The sound of "Report" suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe.

A young army member from the military division's mansion rushed to the messenger who came up from the foot of the collapsed mountain, took a letter from him, looked at it, and walked quickly to Zhu Heqi and Zhuge Sanhe, and cupped his hands The report said: "Report to the supervisory country, the military division, the Third Township Ling Zongrong Army Report, the patrol soldiers of the former Military Association in the Third Township found that a large group of Qing demons arrived at Xiangkou Town by water, and played 'Xianghuang Banner New Army Chief Minister' Zhao's recognition flag!"

"It's Zhao Liangdong!" Zhuge Sanhe said, "I heard that he was seriously injured in the battle of Jianyangshui, and was carried down covered in blood. Although he failed to defeat Wu Sangui, he still gained the reputation of being brave and fearless For this reason, Kang Mazi also bestowed on him the brave title of Batulu."

The current Qing Dynasty is full of bravery!

Wang Fuchen, Zhao Liangdong, Sun Sike, Shi Lang, Bahai, Zhuobutai, Fei Yanggu, Mang Yitu, Echu and others all gave Batulu the number of brave!

"Batulu..." Zhu Hechi thought for a while, "Military division, what's your idea?"

Zhuge Sanhe waved his goose-feather fan and said with a smile: "It's enough to keep the same in response to all changes."

"Stay the same and respond to all changes?"

"Our army only needs to step by step, advance the fortress, and build the fort outside Xiangkou Town... Zhao Liangdong will give it to Batulu for nothing!

At that time, he will either escape by water, or we will be trapped in Xiangkou Town. At that time, we can only wait for Zhuobutai to rescue him, and we will call Zhubutai's rescue! "
