Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 184 It is gratifying to defeat, be careful of Oboi! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

The morale of these Guangdong township troops is really high!

Wang Zhongxiao looked at the group of Guangdong soldiers who had already been ignited with anger, and he was already very sure.

This is gratifying, it is the public enemy of the common people in Guangdong!As long as he said he was going to hack him to death, the Guangdong soldiers below were already screaming to go to the battlefield. They didn't even ask for a reward!

It has not been many years since Shang Kexi forcibly promoted the coastal relocation in Guangdong. Those Guangdong soldiers whose families were ruined because of Shang Kexi's atrocities have not forgotten the bloody feud!

It is gratifying to have someone take them to kill them, they are their benefactors, what reward do they need?It's better to start early, arrest that old bastard Shang Kexi and execute him immediately!
Seeing that everyone's morale was so high that it was about to explode, Wang Zhongxiao didn't talk nonsense about mobilizing, and shouted: "Let's go!"

After giving the order to send troops, he led a group of teachers from the Jingwu Academy who acted as staff and personal guards, walked down to Wangxia Village, and then got on his horse at the foot of the mountain. Line by line, they marched mightily towards Gongbei City.

After walking for a while, Wang Zhongxiao felt that the atmosphere was not enough, so he opened his throat and began to sing the military song "Song of Great Harmony" of the Guangdong Township Army.

"Get up, hungry and cold untouchables! Rise up, suffering people all over the world! Your blood is boiling, and you must fight to the death for the truth of Datong."

The first thing he took out was a classical Chinese version of the lyrics of "Song of Great Harmony", which was always a bit awkward to sing, so he changed it again, making it even more "Datong"!

As soon as he took the lead, six thousand Guangdong soldiers also began to sing along.First followed by his staff officers and personal soldiers, and then the infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and baggage teams that formed the marching column.

The high-pitched and passionate singing soon resounded across the northern part of the Macau Commercial City, startling the people who were busy with their own livelihoods in the commercial city. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the place where the singing came from with a look of surprise.
The singing of Datong has finally faded away!
Huang Linsheng, Master Huang Si, who was hiding in a hotel that had just been built and hadn't finished decoration on the edge of Haojiang Inner Harbor, finally let out a sigh of relief.

This Mr. Huang Linsheng and Huang Si is from Huangjia Village, Etangdu, Xinhui County. He is the son of Mr. Huang Wanlin who was supposed to be married in his hometown, but he didn't know where he went. He is also the Lizhou who surrendered by mistake. Zhizhou Huang Zhisheng's elder brother.

Although he is known as "Fourth Master Huang", he is actually the eldest son of the family, and "Fourth Master" is the ranking in the clan.As the eldest son of the "Thief Hanlin", Huang Siye is of course also an examiner who has received a good education since he was a child.However, he was not as good as his younger brother Huang Zhisheng, and he got stuck in the Grand Competition—his younger brother was the first Jinshi, but he was a "brother with a low reputation", and he couldn't even pass the last one.

Although the Qing Dynasty still had a way to recruit people to select officials, it was impossible for a Guangdong Juren to "select" an official without losing money.And a loss-making official is meaningless to the Huang family. The Huang family already has Huang Wanlin and Huang Zhisheng, two moderate officials.If neither of them can protect the property of Huang's family in Etang, he will be given one more "losing sesame official" for nothing.

For example, in the current situation, Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, two rebels who wanted to rebel, used the authority of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the might of [-] soldiers to forcibly seize his family's land, and even sent several The younger brothers, sons, daughters, nephews, and nieces were all arrested and taken to unknown places?Maybe it's already killed!
And he was not in his hometown at that time, but was hanging out with Shang Zhixiao, the second son of King Pingnan in Guangzhou!Although he gave up the idea of ​​"picking" an official through selection, he still wanted to be an official, and he found a way for him - hooking up with the gratifying "six princes" (the prince with the blue flag as his leader) )one of the.If you hook up with them, you can pass through their doorway and spend some money to create a coated slave with a blue flag.

As a Han Chinese, Huang Linsheng and Huang Juren wanted to "pick" an official at a loss.But if he becomes a coated slave, he will be "in the flag".There are not many candidates under the flag, isn't it easy to "pick" an official?

What's more, the future of the bannermen who are selected to become officials is better than that of the Han people who are Jinshi!
Therefore, he followed the path of Shang Kexi's great military advisor Jin Guang, mingled with Shang Zhixiao, and became a teacher.And this also allowed him to escape the "Xiangdao disaster" and not be arrested to serve Wu Sanwei on Xiangdao, and this time he also got a chance to "jump into the slave door"-infiltrate into the Macau commercial market as a Internal response!

This strategy was conceived by his mentor Jin Guang Jin Dajun. According to Jin Guang's plan, the Shang family's plan to take the three counties to take over Hao'ao is to enter both land and water, and to fight internally!

Among them, the land route is of course more than [-] people led by Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan. They said they wanted to sneak attack, but there is a high probability that they will be discovered, so Jin Guang actually assigned Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan to the task. There is an upper limit and a lower limit.

Of course, the upper limit is pushed all the way to Gongbei City Walled City, the north gate of the Haoao Peninsula, and then cooperate with Chen Shikai's navy and the internal forces who ambushed in advance to capture Haoao!

The lower limit is to attack Xiangshan County, and attract the royal soldiers from Hao'ao to the north to support, creating conditions for the internal forces and the navy to jointly seize Hao'ao.

However, Golden Light did not expect that Fourth Master Huang would be able to mess up the Macau market. Fourth Master Huang has two main tasks. One is to lead the way. Doing business.Therefore, he can easily lead the dead soldiers sent by Shang Zhixiao into the Macau market where fish and dragons are mixed.

The second is to wave the flag and shout that Huang Linsheng is a wealthy family in Xinhui.He has some acquaintances among the gentry of Xinhui, Xinning and Xiangshan in the newly moved Macau commercial city. Once there is chaos in the Macau commercial market, he can mobilize a group of Xinhui fellow villagers to rebel against the thief Wang Zhongxiao!

And the real trump card sent by the Jinguangjin military division into the Macau market is an Oboi!Of course it is a fake Obai!

Isn't that "true Oboi" in Shenzhen Village, Xin'an County next door to Macau?Just across Lingdingyang, it's normal to sneak into Macau and make a scene while Wang's army is out, right?
If Oboi revolted in the Macau market, wouldn't the small number of defenders left by Wang Zhongxiao be in disarray?
As long as they are in a mess, Chen Shikai who came from the waterway will have a chance to land in the southeast of the Macau shopping mall!
Now that the main force of the town soldiers who stayed behind in Macau have all left, it seems that the strategy of "fake Oboi making trouble in Macau City" is likely to be successful. Thinking of this, Huang Linsheng lifted his robe and went up to the second floor.The second floor of the newly built building was bare of furniture, and all the windows were tightly shut.A large room on the second floor was full of people, either squatting or sitting, and everyone looked nervous, wearing round-neck robes, holding red cloths on their heads or wearing red hoods.There was hardly anyone talking, just sitting there distracted.

The inside of the room is not very ventilated, and the weather here in Macau is hot, and the sun is basking in the sun today, making the inside of the room as hot as a steamer, and everyone is sweating all over their heads and faces.

A 50-[-]-year-old bearded strong man seemed to be the most afraid of heat, sitting there, fanning his fan vigorously.

Huang Linsheng quickly walked up to the bearded man, bowed and bowed: "Wang Xietai, the Guangdong Township Army at Wangxia Mountain should have left!"

The bearded man called Wang Xietai by Huang Linsheng is Wang Guodong, a lieutenant under Shang Kexi's command. Because of his mighty looks, he originally had the nickname "Little Obai", but no one calls him that anymore.

But this time he wants to play Oboi!
"Okay!" This "fake Oboi" grinned, "Let's wait for two more days. When those Guangdong soldiers are gone, it's time for Oboi to make a big fuss in Macau! Hehe, that Wang Datou's heart It's really big, Oboi lives in front of his house, and he dares to lead troops to fight Zu Zeqing!"

Huang Linsheng smiled: "The two fathers and sons surnamed Wang have already fainted by now. They were just Oboi's deadly rivals, and the relationship with King Pingxi is okay, but the emperor let the two brothers Wang Zhongxiao and Wang Jizhen have Wu Shilin's blood on their hands! Now they can't vote for King Pingxi, so they can only do their best to make it big, and the army of equalizing the land and building the countryside is just to make it big, so they don't care about offending the gentry all over the world! And sending troops to fight Zu Zeqing is also to grab some land as soon as possible. Make it bigger!"

Wang Guodong laughed: "Master Huang, you're right, the surnamed Wang is in a daze, we're sure to win this time!" He then looked around again, "Brothers, recharge your batteries, the day after tomorrow when you're ugly We are going to do a big job! The second son said that after the matter is completed, we will rob that bank on the Guangdong Customs Road!"

When Wang Zhongxiao assembled a brigade of rural soldiers singing "Song of Datong" with a Cantonese accent, they drove out of Gongbei Walled City with high morale, and rushed to Xiangshan County at a rapid march.Yu Deshui, who is acting as the deputy of Xiangshan County, and Lu Yijia, the master of the Xiangshan Army Division, have also left the city to meet the enemy!

That's right, it is to go out of the city to meet the enemy, not to defend the city to the death!
Of course, the soldiers in Xiangshan want to protect the safety of the local area. It is the best policy to defend against the enemy outside the "county gate" - this is Wang Zhongxiao leading his team of Jingwu Academy teachers to conduct an investigation on the terrain of Xiangshan and the customs and hearts of the people. After careful and careful investigation, the conclusion was drawn.

The terrain of Xiangshan is too easy to keep the enemy outside the county gate, and the people of Xiangshan dare not say how anti-Qing, but [-] to [-]% are "anti-Shang". Fortunately, Xiangshan is an enemy of the people!
As long as President Wang's three-county township army can show everyone the hope of defeating the public enemy, then the people of Xiangshan must be on President Wang's side.

But if President Wang's soldiers and horses don't seem to be doing well, then it's hard to tell people's hearts.

This is because Shang Kexi used to like to kill innocent people indiscriminately when he was using troops in Guangdong. The feudal army and the green battalion under his command didn't care about personnel. They just killed and robbed wherever they went. !
Any city that dares to resist the Shang family's army will be slaughtered after it is broken!Even Guangzhou, the number one city in Tiannan, was slaughtered without blinking an eye, let alone other cities?
In history, when King Li Jin encountered the people in Xinhui to help the captives, more than half of the reasons were that everyone lacked confidence in Li Dingguo, and they were afraid that Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, two inhuman things, would slaughter Xinhui City after they came back——Li Dingguo besieged Xinhui At that time, it was called an army of 20, but in fact it was only a few thousand veterans plus some Guangdong soldiers who responded to him.If there were really 20 old battalion soldiers of the Western Army, Xinhui City would not be able to defend
And this time is the first battle between the Shang family army and the Wang family army. If the Shang family army is really allowed to drive all the way south to the outside of Xiangshan County, it is hard to say whose side the people of Xiangshan County will choose to stand on!
After all, the Shang family's killing knife is too fast!
So Yu Deshui and Lu Yijia only left a small number of township soldiers to guard Huatuo's cottage and Xiangshan County, and then took the township soldiers gathered from around Xiangshan County to rush all the way, and there were many people living in the villages along the way. The "country soldiers in the countryside" joined the team under the leadership of their respective "Captains".

Although the Shang family's swords are fast, the Wang family's long spears and muskets seem to be even more powerful!

The soldiers in Xiangshan saw that Wang's army came out of Xiangshan to meet the enemy, and they all felt that the opportunity for revenge had come.So there is no need to mobilize like this, just follow each other to support them.

These town soldiers all had weapons at home, but they didn't have flintlock guns and cannons, but bamboo guns were still easy to get, and all kinds of matchlock guns were also easy to get here in Guangdong.So these people came with weapons to join!

Yu Deshui and Lu Yijia's team headed westward, and the number of people increased. At the beginning, there were less than 2000 people, and later, the number was close to [-]!

They walked for dozens of miles, and finally drove to the south bank of Xiaolan Waterway, which was about to approach Xiaolan Village on the Xijiang River—this is called a village, but it is actually a rather large commercial town. There is a ferry wharf outside the town, which is on the Xiaolan Waterway. important ferry.And the north of the waterway is the territory of Shunde County.

As long as the ferry is seized, it will be a bit difficult for Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan's army to cross the waterway—Xiaolan Waterway is an entrance to the West River!

How big is the water in Xijiang!
So this Xiaolan waterway is not only rich in water and deep in water, but also very wide, most of the river sections are seven to eighty feet long!

It's a pity that Yu Deshui and Lu Yijia came half a step late. Xiaolan Village with its tall outer wall was not occupied by the Shang family army who came from afar to "sneak attack", but the ferry of Xiaolan Village has already fallen into Shang Zhixiao's troops. hands.

But Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan's troops did not all cross the waterway, only a few hundred people crossed the river and occupied the ferry.

These Shang family troops crossing the river saw the brigade wearing bamboo hats, carrying bamboo guns, matchlock guns, and carrying dry food. Startled.

Because these Guangdong township troops not only have a large number of people, but their morale looks very high, and it sounds even higher!They could be heard yelling from a distance: "It's a good thing to fight to Guangzhou City and catch them alive!"

Well, this vigor is about to catch up with Li Jinwang's old western army who came to Guangdong back then!

In addition, the marching ranks of these screaming Guangdong Township Army looked very neat!A team of thousands of people, with 800 people as a large team, formed a column as wide as possible, entered the battlefield at a brisk pace, and approached the ferry of Xiaolan Village, and then relied on the official road and field ridge It quickly unfolded into a phalanx of spears like a forest.

After launching the phalanx, the Guangdong soldiers did not launch an attack immediately, but they did not mean to take a breather. Instead, they used pikemen standing in line with guns as a cover, equipped with various old-fashioned arquebus guns (there are a large number of arquebus scattered among the people in Guangdong). Matchlock guns, there are also many matchlock guns in the warehouses of the Portuguese in Macau), and the shotgun soldiers began to use the shovels, sacks, and straw bags they carried with them to start digging, filling, and building parapets!

Still working in full swing, a look of hard work.

This operation really opened the eyes of the Shang family army on the opposite side - there are still people who are building fortifications before the battle?
This also repaired the earthen wall right under the eyes of the enemy!

And they also filled the pockets with soil, and then piled up those filled pockets one by one. This method seems to be very good, but it is a bit expensive!

Just when Shang Jun on the side of the ferry was suppressed by these Guangdong township troops, Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan also took a ferry across the Xiaolan Channel and arrived at the ferry on the south bank.

"What's going on?" Shang Zhixiao saw a leader of the Wangfu Fan army coming up to salute, and asked, "Why are you still huddling at the ferry and not attacking? But there are only a few thousand Guangdong township troops, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Second Master, they seem to be difficult to deal with. They drove all the way and didn't know how to take a break, so they blocked them and built fortifications and dug holes. The marching queue is also relatively strict, and they look like elite soldiers!"

This vassal army leader is old, and he has seen Li Dingguo's soldiers-it seems to be nothing more than that!
Shang Zhixiao snorted: "Elite what? I have already observed it, isn't this just a Guangdong soldier? It's just a group of Guangdong barbarians, vulnerable. I order you to attack immediately!"
