Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 308 Long live the emperor, the regent is a traitor! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Under the night, the plain between the Yongding River and the Yongxing River was pitch black. Occasionally, scouts from both sides had brief encounters in the night, making short and rapid shouts, hooves, and neighing of war horses, and then quickly returned to calm.

On the other hand, the big camps of Yongding Hexi and Yongxing Henan were brightly lit. In order to show their strength, both sides set up exaggerated camps.The lanterns and bonfires are dotted all over the wilderness, like the stars in the sky have fallen to the ground.

Fuquan stood on a high wooden platform inside the wall of Panggezhuang, leaning on the railing, looking at the camp of the Kangxi army from a distance—according to intelligence, Kangxi brought a total of 20 troops here this time.But the imposing manner of the big camp more than a dozen miles away, it seems that there are even [-] troops stationed there, it is really scary!
There was a sound of footsteps, and the two figures climbed up the high platform along the ladder one after the other, and stood behind Fuquan. Although they didn't have common names, Fuquan already knew who they were?
"Is it Yang Qilong, Guanyin Bao?"

"It's the slave!"

"The slave greets the master."

"How's the situation? How much money does Wu Shijue want?"

"80!" Yang Qilong gritted his back molars and said, "This kid is so dark that he wants 80! Duolong managed to reduce it to 75. And this kid hasn't seen the banknote yet and won't turn his back on him. You have to see it." Only the bank notes will turn against you."

"My lord, this is too much, or else" Guanyinbao's voice also meant heartache.

"Here!" Fuquan gritted his teeth, "It's not expensive to buy a throne for 75 yuan!" He paused, then asked, "Is there anyone else?"

Avalokitesvara replied: "There are also Dong E, Tu La, Chani, and E Shan, the four military commanders who also agreed to defect."

"How much do they want?" Fuquan asked hurriedly.

"They don't want money. Both Dong E and Chani want to be crowned as county kings, and both Tula and E Shan want to be first-class princes."

Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief: "Many county kings and first-class dukes have to give houses and land, and the county king's salary is now halved, so it will cost 500 taels a year, and first-class dukes are a little less , now reduced to 500 taels a year, but the four of them are indeed not as dark as Wu Shijue."

Yang Qilong smiled and said: "They are different from Wu Shijue, Wu Shijue is a one-off deal, the four of them will follow the prince in the future!"

"That's right!" Fuquan laughed, "If they dare to open their mouths like a lion, there will be no good fruit in the future."

Guanyin Bao said: "However, the four of them played tricks, and they didn't keep any excuses, and they didn't ask for a down payment. It seems that it will depend on the situation. If Wu Shijue turns his back, then there will be no problem. "

"Who is going to give Wu Shijue the banknote?" Fuquan emphasized, "We must choose the most reliable person!"

Those were 750 unregistered "three-line bank notes" with a face value of 1000 taels. If they were handed over to an unreliable goods, they were all swept away.

"My lord, don't worry," Yang Qilong said, "The servants have already made arrangements. The elder brother of the servant, Yang Qixing, will personally lead the people to deliver the money, and Pang Qinglong's brother, Pang Qinghu, will be in charge of leading the way and escorting them. There must be no mistake."

Of course Yang Qilong has brothers, he can do three by himself, there are at least two above, and a bunch of younger brothers below.

Moreover, his family has taken care of N's mother for the old Zhu's family for 200 years, and the hereditary Jinyiwei N's ovary, Qianhu, is of course a rich family.So he also has a lot of cousins, cousins.However, he is the eldest son of the eldest family, so he is the head of the Tianjin Yang family of this generation.

Fuquan thought for a while and asked again, "Wu Shijue won't do it after he gets the banknote."

"No way," Yang Qilong patted his chest and said, "The [-] new Beiyang troops of the servants will rush to the left flank of the Supreme Emperor along the east bank of the Yongding River. Their armor, formation, and weapons are all exactly the same as the Huaixi Red Scarf Army.

Wu Shijue took our money and saw Li Zhongshan's Huaixi Red Scarf Army appearing again. He would definitely turn against him, or else he would have to fight a tough battle with Li Zhongshan's army.Not only do you not have to fight tough battles, but you can also get 75 yuan for nothing. Why not do it?
Besides, your lord, when you become the emperor, you will also regard Wu Zhou as a friend.And Li Zhongshan's wife is Wu Shijuan's sister, so there is no need for him to use his own army to consume Li Zhongshan's army. If he spends all his money, it will be cheaper for Wu Yingxiong and Wu Yingqi.Moreover, he had a bad relationship with Li Zhongshan, so he couldn't go to seek refuge in any eventuality in the future. "

Hearing what Yang Qilong said, Fuquan sighed: "It's all the emperor's family. It's okay, Brother Yang, it's up to you!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Yang Qilong patted his chest, "It will be well kept!"

On the fifth day of May, in the early morning, when the morning fog covering the battlefield dissipated, Fuquan, wearing a large white armor, rode a horse and stood on a mound outside Dingfu Village. The Yongding River was seven or eight miles ahead. , Kangxi's army was calmly arrayed there.

Although Fuquan's army took the lead, they took control of the five small villages between Yongding River and Yongxing River that could serve as support points for the battlefield, including Wangcun, Xiaolizhuang, Dingfuzhuang, Gaojiazhuang, and Xinjiazhuang. It also controlled the woodland between Xinjiazhuang and Yongding River (Yongding River has a big bend in this area, turning from north to south and heading east to Tianjinwei).But Emperor Kangxi's army did not panic at all. After they crossed the Yongding River on the wooden bridges they had controlled for a long time, they first covered with cavalry, and then the infantry deployed step by step one after another.

Kangxi's army deserves to be the elite of repeated battles in the north. It has been failing and making progress. Every time it fails, Kangxi will sum up the experience and lessons, and at the same time learn from the enemy to improve his military capabilities.

He also learned about the phalanx tactics of the Westerners through Nan Huairen and his foreign slave guards, and immediately discovered that the phalanx tactics of the Western devils must have been slowly summed up after many defeats. Perfect for a combination of pikemen and arquebuses!

So Kangxi immediately used Western ideas and methods to improve the formation and tactics of his army.Started to use a tactic of a thousand-man square team with long spears (including simple knives) in the middle and shotguns on both sides.

Four such phalanxes of thousands of people plus a cavalry battalion of 800 people, an artillery team of 200 people, plus some cavalry, guards, etc., formed a wing (association) of more than [-] people.Two such wings form a flag, both wearing almost the same color of armor and carrying the same color of flag.Eight such banners formed the main force of Kangxi—the elite of the West Eight Banners.

And Kangxi's various armed forces were incorporated into the West Eight Banners by him during the Taiyuan army reorganization.Therefore, the establishment of each banner, each wing, and even each infantry battalion, cavalry battalion, and artillery team under Kangxi's command is similar.

And such eight banners, sixteen wings, 64 infantry battalions, and sixteen artillery teams formed two "large columns" on the battlefield.The sixteen cavalry battalions were divided into two clusters, placed on the left and right wings of the large horizontal team.

Such a simple big formation is placed on the east bank of the Yongding River, and it looks very energetic and powerful!
As for the [-] Dazhou reinforcements commanded by Wu Shijue, they are now placed on the west bank of the Yongding River, and four fairly well-organized square formations have been deployed, waiting for opportunities to move.

In contrast, Fuquan's army is a bit chaotic and cannot be put on the table.

Although Fuquan's money is much more than Kangxi's, but Kangxi was forced by Wu Sangui to make progress!Don't dare not make progress, when you sleep, you dream of how to arrange troops!

But Fuquan is much more comfortable, and does not have so much motivation to study military affairs.

If he doesn't delve into it himself, and let the people under him do it by himself, it will inevitably lead to all kinds of things.

The "Regent Army" currently appearing on the battlefield east of Yongding generally has these parts. One is the township army trained by the Zhili regiment—not the Beiyang New Army. Did not arrive.At the moment, there are four battalions of about 5000 people deployed in Wangcun, Xiaolizhuang, Gaojiazhuang, and Xinjiazhuang.

The second is the feudal town army, such as Zhang Yunyi (Zhang Yong), Zhao Liangdong, Shi Jiabao, and Fan Chengxun are all feudal towns, and their troops are of course very miscellaneous.There were ten thousand people in this group, and they were placed outside Wangcun, Xiaolizhuang, Gaojiazhuang, and Xinjiazhuang.

The third is the Guanwai army, which is the army brought by Bahai and Prince Gong Changning. Their army is a bit like the veteran Eight Banners soldiers.The number of people is also more than 1, because there are many old forests outside the pass, so Fuquan asked them to guard that forest.

In addition, Prince Jian Labu and Xinjun Wang Eza also led thousands of people to guard the forest with Bahai and Changning.

The fourth is a group of Mongolian cavalrymen who believed in Lamaism in Inner Mongolia.However, there are quite a few of them, twenty thousand and several thousand have already arrived, and they are all placed on Fuquan's left wing.

The fifth is the Beijing Banner Guard Army and the Regent Palace Guard Army directly under Fuquan. They are a bit like Kangxi's West Eight Banner Army. The two armies add up to 6000 people.However, the Royal Guard Army was dismantled by Fuquan, and the battalion (also about a thousand people) was used as a unit to supervise the battle team and reserve team, to watch the Fanzhen Army and the Guanwai Army who might defect.

The remaining commander of the Beijing Banner Guard, Youguanyinbao, was placed inside and outside Dingfu Village to protect the boss of Fuquan.

Suo'etu, Mingzhu, and Mu Zhan also guarded outside Dingfuzhuang with two or 3000 people.

The above-mentioned troops, not counting Yang Qilong's troops who had not yet arrived, totaled about [-], almost [-] fewer than Kangxi's army!
Although the number of people was small, the battle line they pulled out was not short at all. It was more than 20 miles loose, and it was not in a straight line. After all, the villages and forests that could be relied on were not arranged in a straight line.

This makes Fuquan's army look even more miscellaneous.

And the strength of the two armies is really clear at a glance!
But Fuquan wasn't panicking at all. His troops had already occupied favorable terrain, and they just had to wait for Kangxi to attack.And he spent money, the back door has already been opened, just waiting for Yang Qixing and Pang Qinghu to deliver the banknotes to Wu Shijue, and waiting for Yang Qilong to arrive with the "fake red scarf", then he will win a big victory.

When Fuquan felt that the winning ticket was in his hands, the formation of both sides had already been completed-Kangxi's troops were relatively elite, and the formation was carried out very quickly, while Fuquan's army rose early today (Fuquan has money, rewards Passed, full of energy), came earlier, and now it is completed.One after another, banners and recognition flags fluttered in front of the formations of both sides, while Fuquan and Kangxi's recognition flags and handsome flags were more than ten miles away from each other.

Kangxi, who had already battled for a long time, stood on the stirrup at this time, holding up a telescope, and was carefully looking at Fuquan's army formation, and did not reveal too much surprise.

Don't get too complacent even though you've won
Kangxi reminded himself not to be too complacent, while carefully looking at Fuquan's battle formation, and suddenly he discovered a weakness, which was Xinjiazhuang located in the north of the forest.

"What's the name of Zhuangzi at the edge of the forest? Who is guarding there?" Kangxi asked.

"Back to the emperor, that Zhuangzi's name is Xinjiazhuang, and it seems that Fan Chengxun is guarding there!"

The person who answered was Zhangtai, the commander of the Kangxi Emperor's Guard Army (the left wing of the Zhenghuang Banner), who was the son of Gushan Beizi. beat.

"Has Fan Chengxun signed up yet?" Kangxi asked again.

"Come on." Cao Xi replied, "This Fan Chengxun is the son of Fan Wencheng, and he has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor."

"Okay!" Kangxi nodded and ordered, "Let Dong E and Chani lead the Xiangbai Banner army to attack Xinjiazhuang, Laita and Fei Yanggu lead the Zhengbai Banner army to attack the woods, and Chen Tingjing command the Xiangbai Banner's left wing to cover the Xiangbai Banner army. Right wing."

Gao Shiqi had already written down the orders dictated by Kangxi, and handed them over to several yellow jackets, and asked them to send the order to Dong E, Chani, Laita, Fei Yanggu, and Chen Tingjing on horseback.

These five men were in charge of commanding the five wings (each owed to a cavalry battalion) of the Banner Army, a total of 4000 men and [-] cannons firing six-pound shells.

As the twenty phalanxes advanced together, the wild spears swayed like a sea breeze blowing through a dense forest. On both sides of these spears were infantry carrying shotguns. Behind the phalanx, there are [-] cannons dragged forward by horses, as well as some generals and soldiers on horseback.

The march of 4000 people was extremely imposing, with a black mass and a forest of spears, just like this, they pressed up towards the left wing of Fuquan's headquarters.

Fuquan frowned, his good brother was very aggressive when he beat his own people, and he was up to [-] or so. Why was he not so capable when he beat Wu Sangui?
Moreover, almost 1 people were pressed in front of Xinjiazhuang, and Fan Chengxun only had more than [-] people on hand. Can he keep it?
When he was worried about Fan Chengxun, Fan Chengxun, who was standing behind a low wall, was already terrified, turned around, and kept saying: "The emperor doesn't believe in slaves, the emperor doesn't believe in slaves!"

The emperor's [-] troops are pressing towards him!
But he has already given Kangxi a note, and he is ready to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!
Why did Kangxi put 1 people on him?

Does Kangxi not believe him?

This emperor is really... so wise!

Although Fan Chengxun told Kangxi that he would abandon the dark and turn to the bright and look for opportunities anyway, but this "seek for opportunities" means to play tricks!
Just when he didn't know how to play tricks, the pikemen and musketeers who were slowly approaching him in front finally stopped about two miles away from Xinjiazhuang after advancing for three or four miles.

"Stop." Fan Chengxun finally breathed a sigh of relief, still muttering to himself, "The Emperor still trusts me."

"Regimental envoy, the enemy is setting up artillery!" At this moment, one of his personal soldiers suddenly shouted.

"Cannon?" Fan Chengxun hurriedly leaned on the crenel and looked out. After a look, he saw at least a dozen cannons being pushed up!
"It's over, it's over, the emperor is angry!" Fan Chengxun was about to cry, "Hurry up, send someone to tell the emperor, tell him not to fire, I'll turn back immediately!"

Immediately, someone raised an objection: "Tuanlian envoys can't turn against each other. We have a supervising team behind us who are the regent's personal soldiers. It doesn't seem easy to mess with!"

It's embarrassing, there is a supervising team for defecting, and if you don't defect, you will be bombarded, what should I do?
"boom boom"

Just when Fan Chengxun was in a dilemma, the cannons around Xinjiazhuang let out a roar, more than a dozen white smoke spewed out of the muzzle, and more than a dozen shells flew towards Xinjiazhuang at an extremely fast speed like hammers thrown by giants. Then they crossed the wall, and some of them smashed heavily on the roofs of several adobe houses in the village, and there was a sudden sound of collapse.

Fan Chengxun, who was standing on the wall, suddenly felt the wall shaking under his feet, it was about to collapse!
If those shells hit the wall of Xiaoxin Village just now, the wall would have to collapse, and he might have to be buried.
Thinking of this, he immediately collapsed, and shouted: "Don't fire your majesty, the servant will turn against you immediately!"

The cannon really stopped firing!

Of course it's just a timeout, and whether to play or not depends on performance.

Fan Chengxun suddenly shouted like crazy: "Command the three armies. Let everyone shout together: Let's listen to the emperor! Long live the emperor, the regent is a traitor!"

"Whoo!"

The soldiers who delivered the order immediately flew down the wall, and ran around the village, shouting as they ran: "Long live the regiment envoy Youling, the emperor, and the regent is a traitor!"

The officers and soldiers under Fan Chengxun had actually been preparing to defect - not to Kangxi, but to Daming, because their territory was relatively close to Daming, and they belonged to the type of people who looked south to the king and came to the north.

But now they can't control so much, who is not surrendering?

And no one has stipulated that surrender can only be done once. If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of not surrendering.

So when the people below heard this, they immediately shouted: "Long live the emperor, the regent is a traitor!"

"Long live the emperor! The regent is a traitor"

The shout quickly reached the ears of Dong E and Chani outside the besieged city—Dong E and Chani were commanding the troops west of Zhuangzi, and they were about to beat a foreign worker casually, and then take the opportunity to turn against each other!
What's going on now?Why did Fan Chengxun of Xinjiazhuang defect to support the emperor first?
What can I do?Shall we declare support for the Regent now?
