Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

It's all good news!

In particular, Wang Fuchen, Fei Yanggu, Tu Hai, and Shi Lang's papers were delivered almost at the same time, and they were also sent out almost at the same time.

The main contents of the reports in the four papers are also exactly the same, that is, a "Third Grandson in White Robe" was shot dead by the Qing Heavenly Soldiers on the front line of Xiangkou Town!

According to Wang Fuchen's report, the person who killed the third grandson of the white robe was himself!Moreover, he also saw with his own eyes that the third grandson in white robe was shot and fell off the horse, and was carried away by the people below... It seemed that he was shot in the chest!

Even if he wasn't killed on the spot, he wouldn't live for long!

Wang Fuchen also reported that after the third prince in Baipao was shot, the commander-in-chief flag of the Ming army at the front of Xiangkou Town was changed from the flag of the Daming Supervisor to the command flag of the three armies—this shows that the command of the puppet Ming army on the battlefield at that time changed from Zhu Heyi handed over to an admiral or chief soldier.

If Zhu Hechi hadn't died or been seriously injured, it would be almost impossible for such a situation to happen...

The memorials of Tu Hai, Shi Lang, and Fei Yanggu also proved that Wang Fuchen's memorials were true.

In particular, Tu Hai and Shi Lang were commanding artillery boats to bombard Xiangkou Town on the Yangtze River at that time, and it was impossible to collude with Wang Fuchen—their memorial and Wang Fuchen's memorial were issued almost at the same time, and there was no time for collusion.

Although Tu Hai and Shi Lang didn't see the third grandson in white robes being shot, they definitely saw the flag of the Daming Supervisor changed to the command flag of the three armies, and then the third grandson in white robes also disappeared on the battlefield.

In addition, Fei Yanggu, who was in charge of the rear of the palace during the retreat of the Zhengbai Banner army to Anqing South City, also confirmed the disappearance of the third grandson of Baipao in the memorial he gave after retreating to Anqing South City.

However, Emperor Kangxi was still a little skeptical... that is, after the Ming army lost the third grandson in white robes, they did not fall into panic or even collapse. On the contrary, their offensive was still sharp.

On land, the Ming army almost completely wiped out Zhao Liangdong's troops who resisted the main force of the Ming army on Jiangbian Road. Zhao Liangdong originally had more than 5000 troops, but he lost a thousand and a few hundred in Xiangkou Town, and then gained five more. Of the 1000 reinforcements, less than [-] were left to evacuate, including the hundreds who escaped from Xiangkou Town before.

In other words, Zhao Liangdong's new Xianghuang Banner army lost more than [-] yuan!

And the Zhengbaiqi new army who "killed" the third grandson of the white robe was later "retaliatoryly hunted down" by the Ming army. The troops of more than 6000 people ran back to Anqing for only a fraction, and they also lost money. Ten thousand small.

On the water, although the Yangtze River Navy commanded by Shi Lang and Tu Hai defeated the rocket fleet of the Ming army that came to attack in the battle on the 24th, they also lost as many as [-] gunboats and two trumpet boats!

In addition, hundreds of sailors were killed!

If Shi Lang hadn't been brave enough to lead the sentinel fleet to fight back desperately, the loss of the navy would have been even greater.

After the "both land and water defeat", the Ming army, unwilling to fail, launched a fierce attack. On the 16th and [-]th, they successively occupied Jiande and Dongliu counties on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and their troops pointed directly at the southern city of Anqing.

On the [-]th, the Ming army forcibly crossed the Yangtze River and captured Huayang Town in the north of the Yangtze River, and then occupied Wangjiang County and Shipai Town, an important town on the edge of the Wanshui River.

After receiving this series of battle reports, even the little Holy Lord Emperor Kangxi fainted—is this a victory?

According to such a winning method, it won't take long for him to "defeat" the puppet Ming army in Beijing, right?

So Kangxi hurriedly called Wang Fuchen, Fei Yanggu, Tuhai, Fu Honglie, and Zhou Peigong to Qingliuguan.

He had to ask, how did they win?

……

"Your Majesty, even if the third grandson of Zhu is not dead, there will be a serious injury, because after the fifteenth day, no one has seen the 'Daming Jianguo' flag on the battlefield. Now it is Zhao Hongkui, the general of the puppet Ming army, who is marching to Qingnan City in An'an. The one fighting by the river is Zhuge's army division... Given Zhu Hechi's past love for adventure and his love for battle, if he is fine, how could he not appear on the battlefield?"

The one who was analyzing Kang Mazi was of course Zhou Peigong, who was very good at analyzing——Zhou Peigong was not Zhuge's military adviser after all, and he didn't know how to count!So he couldn't figure out that Zhu Heqi is now recuperating with Da Boling in the Madang Fortress...

Kang Mazi nodded again and again, and said in a low voice: "He should be a bad thing...but why haven't the puppet Ming army retreated?"

"Your Majesty, the third grandson of Zhuge is gone, but Zhuge's military adviser is still there!" Zhou Peigong said, "The third grandson of Zhuge was killed in the middle of the treason, of course Zhuge's military adviser will be ordered to be in danger.

Besides, the third grandson of Zhu is gone, isn't there still the third prince Zhu? "

Kang Mazi frowned: "Why did you forget about the two of them? What should I do?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen knelt down at this time, "I think that the third prince Zhu and Zhuge's military adviser are nothing to worry about! He is also far superior to the Third Prince Zhu and Zhuge's military adviser. If he is still here, Anqing may be undefendable."

Kangxi sighed: "It's very difficult to defend Anqing now! The new army of the Zhengbai and Xianghuang Banners have won disastrously, and there are no more than [-] soldiers in the battle..." He glanced at the slaves below , "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, this slave has a plan. I will let the two thieves Wu Sangui and Zhu Cijiong kill each other, and the court will reap the benefits."

It was still Zhou Peigong who spoke. Seeing his confident appearance, Kangxi frowned and said, "I have sent Hong Shiming to Jingzhou to lobby Wu Sangui before, but there has been no response so far. It seems that Wu Sangui is not so easy to be fooled!"

Zhou Peigong said with a smile: "That's because Hong Shiming's empty words make it difficult to win the trust of Wu Sangui. If the emperor can divide the Jiangnan part of Jiangsu Province and the Jiangnan part of Anhui Province to form a Jiangnan Province, make Hong Shiming the governor of Jiangnan, and make Zu Zepu the governor of Jiangnan. , in charge of the military affairs of Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces. Zu Yonglie was appointed as the admiral of Jiangnan and asked him to assist Zu Zepu.

At the same time, the emperor moved the Nanjing banner camp to Yangzhou, and handed over the defense of Jiangnan and Zhejiang to Zu Zepu, Zu Yonglie and Hong Shiming.

In this way, even if Wu Sangui remains unmoved, the third prince Zhu will suspect that Wu Sangui and the emperor have reached an agreement to rule the river. "

"Good plan! Peigong, you are really my Zhou Gongjin!" After hearing Zhou Peigong's plan, Emperor Kangxi couldn't help applauding.

The Jiangnan governor Zu Zepu proposed by Zhou Peigong is the son of Zu Dashou, the elder brother of Zu Zeqing, and the cousin of Wu Sangui.He also served as the governor of Fujian before, but because Emperor Kangxi became increasingly suspicious of Wu Sangui, he was cast idle and is now living in Beijing for the elderly.Zu Yonglie is the son of Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou, who is the official commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army in Manchuria, and is now staying in Beijing honestly.The two of them, plus Hong Shiming, are both people from the Qing Dynasty who have something to do with Wu Sangui.

If the three of them served as Governor of Jiangnan, Governor of Jiangnan and Admiral of Jiangnan respectively, how could Third Prince Zhu not be suspicious?

Moreover, Wu Sangui may not be able to hold back from attacking Zhu Ming!

Kangxi smiled and said, "Who can go to Jingzhou and convey my will to Hong Shiming?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Fuchen said immediately, "my servant recommends Wang Shirong. He is from Xixuan, and he is very familiar with the people in Wu Sangui's side. He can pass the message to the people around Wu Sangui on behalf of the Emperor."

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded, "Just ask him to come... Draw up an order for me, I want to set up Jiangnan Province, I want Zu Zepu to be the governor, Zu Yonglie to be the admiral, and Hong Shiming to be the governor.

In addition, let the world know that I have killed the third grandson of Zhu and firmly guarded Anqing, so the teacher can return to court! "

Chapter 383 Fake death and pretend to be alive!

On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Madang Bastion, the palace of the Great Ming Dynasty.

It is called Xingyuan, but it is actually more than a dozen brick houses with red bricks and blue tiles. The outer walls have not been painted, and although the interior is painted with white lime, there is no good decoration, not even decent furniture.

But it is such a difficult and simple environment, Zhu Heqi lived in a very pleasant way... He only needs to watch Da Boling's "chest injury" get better day by day, leaving no scars, still soft, and the size is also the same. I'm very happy that it didn't shrink.

So these days after coming down from the Xiangkou battlefield were very happy for him.Moreover, the news uploaded from the Anqing battlefield is also good. Under the command of the Zhuge military division, the siege of Anqing is proceeding step by step.

As of the ninth day of June, the Ming army that invaded Anhui had captured six counties including Dongliu, Jiande, Wangjiang, Susong, Taihu, and Qimen.

On the north side of the river, the army commanded by Zhuge's military division is still advancing along the Wanshui fortress after capturing Shipai Town on the edge of the Wanshui River, and is about to approach Jixian Pass!

On the Jiangnan side, Zhao Hongkui, who used his troops steadily, also marched steadily along the Yangtze River, advancing to the vicinity of the southern city of Anqing.

On the river between Xiangkou Town and Huayang Town, there are now pontoon bridges and iron chains that lock the river, and artillery is erected on the bank.

In addition, the local government of Daming in six counties including Dongliu, Jiande, Wangjiang, Susong, Taihu, and Qimen was also established in a very short period of time.

The leaders of the regiment training in these six counties were originally in the Qing camp and their hearts were clear. Before the soldiers came to the door tomorrow, they tied up the county officials and some officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners new army who had fallen behind and surrendered.

It seems that the hearts of the people in Jiangnan are still towards the Ming Dynasty...

Now that everything is going well, Zhu and Qi are happy to be happy with Da Boling.However, this kind of happy life did not last long. An unexpected "bad news" was brought to Madang Bastion by Zhuge Sanhe who hurried back from Jiangbei in the early morning of the tenth day of June.

At that time, Zhu Heqi and Da Boling had just had a morning exercise in Xingyuan's practice room, and they were sweating profusely. They were going to have a morning bath and then enjoy a delicious morning tea.As a result, at the door of the practice room, I ran into Zhuge Sanhe who was waving a goose feather fan.

Seeing Zhuge Sanhe's impatient look, Da Boling smiled and asked, "Sanhezi, what's the matter? Why are you, Zhuge's military advisor, wandering around?"

"Jian Guo, Madam Ling, you can see for yourself!"

As Zhuge Sanhe was talking, he handed over a residence report—it was the residence report from the Qing Dynasty!

Zhu Heqi gave Da Boling a wink, and Da Boling immediately took over the Dibao and became the "little secretary". After reading it all at once, her original smiling face changed: "A Pao, the Dibao said that you He was shot to death by Wang Fuchen with a shotgun in Xiangkou Town!"

"What?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback for a moment, and then became angry, "Okay, it turned out to be Wang Fuchen...he deserves death!

And Kang Mazi deserves to die too, I've used my trick to cheat death!When the lonely family turned around, they would lead troops to attack Anqing Mansion! "

Hitting the chest of Zhu Dajian's favorite concubine with a musket, isn't this offending and deserves death?

In addition, Kang Mazi is not on the road.

It's fine to feign death by yourself, but what are you doing with Zhu Heqi?

However, the faces of Daboling and Zhuge Sanhe both indicated that something worse had happened.

Zhu Heqi was also a little nervous, "What else happened?"

"A Pao," said Da Boling, "the newspaper also said that Kang Mazi wanted Zu Zepu to be the governor of Jiangnan, Hong Shiming to be the governor of Jiangnan, and Zu Yonglie to be the governor of Jiangnan... and to move the banner camp in Nanjing to In Yangzhou, the Jiangbei Banner Army camp was established.

In addition... Kangxi also announced that he would win the class teacher!I will leave Qingliuguan on July [-]th, and return to Beijing around the Mid-Autumn Festival. "

"What?" Hearing this series of news, Zhu Heqian also felt that Kang Mazi was holding back some big moves.

He thought for a while, and said to Military Master Zhuge: "Military Master, you have worked so hard all this way, have you not had breakfast yet? Let's have morning tea together later and talk while eating. Let Fengmingshan and Zuo Chunqiu come together again in the lonely family." Come here, they all came from the Qing camp and know the situation there."

Although Zhuge Sanhe claimed to have obtained the true biography of Zhuge, he was born in the Jianghu after all, and he didn't know much about the situation of the Qing court and Wuying.

Therefore, after Yang Qilong left, Zhu Heyi pulled Zuo Chunqiu, who had jumped over from Geng Jingzhong, and Fengmingshan, who had grievances with him in the early years, into the Military Advisor's Mansion.Now these two people are also in the Madang Fortress, so they were soon invited by Zhu and Qi's attendants to have morning tea at the Xingyuan of Jianguo.

"Jianguo, this Zu Zepu is Zu Zeqing's elder brother, Zu Dashou's son, and Wu Sangui's cousin. He has a very good relationship with Wu Sangui. When he was governor of Fujian in his early years, he often helped Wu Sangui and the Geng family to build bridges.

This Zu Yonglie is the son of Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou. Zu Kefa died early and has been gone for more than [-] years.After Zu Yonglie took over the official position, he struggled in the officialdom. Wu Sangui took care of him a lot, and he had a very good relationship with Wu Yingxiong.

Hong Shiming is the son of Hong Chengchou. I have been working as a dog for the Qing demon for so many years, but he can't wait to see him. He was born as a Jinshi for many years, but he didn't get anything good. I didn't expect to get a governor of Jiangnan now... But this one is so lacking. unusual! "

The one who was talking was Zuo Chunqiu, who was indeed a "Beijing expert" and knew the situation of Zu Zepu, Zu Yonglie, and Hong Shiming like the back of his hand.

"Why is it unusual?" Zhu Heqi asked.

Feng Mingshan took the question and said: "The supervisor doesn't know something. This Hong Shiming was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Shunzhi. He has been an official for almost 20 years before he was awarded the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple... This shows that he is a senior in the Qing Yao side. If you can't get promoted, if you can get promoted, you will be promoted sooner.

Now that he has suddenly reached the high position of Jiangnan governor, this arrangement must have something to do with Wu Sangui! "

Of course, there is a reason for Hong Shiming's poor official luck, and most of the reasons are related to his father Hong Chengchou... To be honest, if he is not Hong Chengchou's son, even if he is a Jinshi in the 12th year of Shunzhi, he will definitely not have only one Taichang Temple junior. Sir!

Taichang Temple is just a cold yamen in charge of rites, music and sacrifices, and there is also Taichang Temple Minister!

Hong Shiming has been a young minister forever, isn't he "cool"?

How can a "Liang Guan" suddenly become the governor of Jiangnan, how can there be no inside story?

And the inside story that allowed Hong Shiming to rise to the top must have something to do with Wu Sangui... because Hong Shiming now has only one Wu Sangui to rely on.

"Kang Mazi asked Wu Sangui's people to be the governor, governor, and admiral of Jiangnan," Zhu Hexi said, stroking his beard, "is he ceding Jiangnan to Wu Sangui?"

Zhuge Sanhe said: "Jianguo, this should be Feng Ting's plan to offer the party to Zhao... I don't know Wu Sangui would do this now?"

This question was actually asked by Zuo Chunqiu.

Zuo Chunqiu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say what Wu Sangui will do, but I'm sure of one thing, that is, Wu Sangui won't make a quick decision... The three armies have caused harm, and the biggest hesitation is probably him! Jian Guo, Let's hurry up and grab Jiangnan!"

Zhu Heqi looked at Zhuge Sanhe again.

"Jianguo," Zhuge Sanhe said, "Anqing can't get up quickly... and can't seek speed. Anqing is not only blocking us, but also blocking Wu Sangui. If Wu Sangui is hesitant, then as long as Anqing is still there In the hands of the Qing court, he might delay. And Kang Mazi might not be willing to give up Jiangnan, otherwise he wouldn't delay until July [-]th.

I dare to assert that as long as Anqing is not taken by me, Kang Mazi will never cross the Huaihe River.And if Kang Mazi doesn't leave...Wu Sangui will continue to hesitate and wait and see!

And we have more than one road with Jiangnan and even with Tianjin and Beijing! "

"The military division means that we will continue to implement the original strategy of attracting the Qing demon army to Anqing, and then take the south of the Yangtze River by sea?"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Sanhe said, "At the same time, along the Yangtze River, we must delay as much as possible. If we delay for one more day, we can be more sure. Even if Wu Sangui came back from the alliance, we can win the war on the two fronts." Bigger."

"Can it be delayed for a long time?" Zhu Heqi was a little uncertain.

"Yes!" Zuo Chunqiu gave an affirmative answer at this time, "I have a trick of pretending to be alive, which can confuse Wu Sangui and Xuan Ye, so that they can't reach an agreement for the time being."

"Fake death?" Zhu Heqi asked, "Who is cheating death?"

"Jian Guo cheated death!" Zuo Chunqiu laughed, "Xuan Ye has already cheated you, so you don't have to cheat anymore."

"Then I have to thank him?" Zhu Heqi laughed, "Who is pretending to be alive?"

"It's you too!" Zuo Chunqiu said, "You have to pretend to be alive!"

"But I'm really alive!" Zhu Heqi frowned.

Zuo Chunqiu said: "Only true and false can fool an old fox like Wu Sangui!"

Chapter 384 High imitation version of Prime Minister Zhuge

June [-]th, Da Zhou, Jiangling Prefecture.

Jiangling Fucheng is the original Jingzhou Fucheng. Before Wu Sangui established the Great Zhou Dynasty, he wanted to change Jingzhou to Nanjing Yingtianfu, but he didn't expect Emperor Kangxi to beat him and change Jiangning to Nanjing Yingtianfu.

Now Wu Sangui is embarrassed to create a Jingzhou version of Nanjing Yingtianfu. People in Jiangning City have been Nanjing Yingtianfu for almost 300 years. When the whole world mentions Nanjing Yingtianfu, they all know it refers to Jiangning.

If this Jingzhou went to join in the fun, it would look a bit unserious...

So Wu Sangui simply changed Jingzhou Mansion into Jiangling Mansion. Anyway, he is not the emperor now, but the president, and there is no need for Yingtian, Shuntian, and Chengtian.

However, the magnificent and magnificent presidential palace is still under construction day and night. When Wang Shirong arrived in Jiangling with the imperial decree from Emperor Kangxi to Hong Shiming, the expansion project of the presidential palace was almost half completed. The main entrance of the Presidential Palace has been completed.

The street in front of the main gate of the Presidential Palace has also been widened and rebuilt, and its name has also been changed, called "Presidential Royal Road"!

The long royal road is divided into two by a "Great Zhou Gate". To the north of the Great Zhou Gate is a restricted area. On both sides of the road are yamen under construction, which will be the official offices of the six divisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Nine Ministers in the future.

The south of the Dazhou Gate is a commercial street. When Wang Shirong rode a horse and walked in the south of the Dazhou Gate, he still had a familiar feeling. He found that many shops that were originally opened in Kunming have now come to Jiangling.

It seems that Wu Sangui has made up his mind to build Jiangling as his own Nanjing... This makes Wang Shirong feel a little relieved.
