Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 122

One is Wu Yingqi's soldiers in Yuezhou.

Wu Yingqi originally had 3 land divisions in Yuezhou, but in the past few months, he has worked hard to expand [-] navy troops, for a total of [-] people.However, the newly expanded [-] sailors were not strong enough to fight, and the ships they used were civilian ships, so they had to stay in Dongting Lake and the river near Yuezhou, and they didn't dare to compete with Shi Lang's and Fu Honglie's sailors.

Although Shi Lang and Fu Honglie's naval forces were newly trained, there were three or four hundred old pirates under Shi Lang's command in the army, as well as hundreds of large sand ships looted from the Yangtze River.These sand ships were all selected by Shi Lang himself, they are relatively strong, and a general cannon can be placed on the bow of the ship, which can be regarded as a powerful gun ship.

In addition, Shi Lang also collected a batch of powerful turtledove foot muskets to equip the navy.So the firepower of these warships is very powerful!Even without fire and thunder, it is enough to dominate the river.

The lack of naval power is also Wu Sangui's biggest weakness on the Huguang battlefield.Fortunately, Wu Yingqi has already built a fort in Yuezhou, which can cooperate with the navy to lock the Yangtze River waterway.

In addition to the Yuezhou army, Wu Sangui also deployed more than [-] people in Changsha and Hengzhou.

Among them, the soldiers in Changsha were led by Gao Dejie, a powerful general of the Wu family army-Gao Dejie was a powerful general under Wu Sangui's command.Guarding various important places in Changsha Mansion, defending the Qing army in Jiangxi while training.

Li Benshen, who was transferred from Guizhou by Wu Sangui, was guarding Heng Prefecture. Li Benshen was the nephew of Gao Jie, one of the four Jiangbei towns in Nanming.Later, he took refuge in Wu Sangui, and was promoted by Wu Sangui to the admiral of Guizhou.This time, in order to reward Li Benshen for following, Wu Sangui transferred him to Hengzhou, Hunan, and served as the admiral of Hunan.

Wu Sangui personally led 5 people, plus Wu Yingqi led 3 people, plus Gao Dejie and Li Benshen's 2 people.At present, Wu Sangui's main force on the Huguang battlefield is almost [-].

Compared with the Qing army, it is indeed a little less.

However, Wu Sangui was not helpless. Although his troops were small, most of them were elite fighters who were accustomed to the humid and hot climate in the south.

In addition, he can also buy the most advanced arms from Guangdong-although he still does not recognize the status of the third prince Zhu as the supervisor of the country, nor does he need to set the year of the king's supervisor, let alone accept the canonization of the third prince Zhu.

But... Zhu Heqi still regarded him as an anti-Qing comrade-in-arms, and provided him with a large amount of military white sugar, Neichang gunpowder, Xichang fire salt, and Foshan muskets at the "anti-Qing friendship price".

With these equipments, the firepower of Wu Sangui's troops has been greatly improved compared with the history, and the ability to attack fortifications is naturally much stronger.

However, Wu Sangui was still in no hurry to launch a decisive battle.

Because he is waiting for three people, one is Kangxi...he will wait for Kangxi to arrive in Xiangyang before starting the decisive battle!

Because the significance of defeating Kangxi is not comparable to defeating people like Leerjin and Tuhai.

The second person he was waiting for was Geng Jingzhong!

Geng Jingzhong's military advisor, Zuo Chunqiu, is in the palace of the President in Jingzhou right now, talking about the "route to proclaim himself emperor" he planned for Geng Jingzhong with joy.

"...Once the surprise attack on Hukou is successful, King Geng's [-] troops and [-] family members will board the boat at Hukou and go straight down to Jiangdong! As long as Jiangning can be defeated, King Geng will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Jiangning City!"

Wu Sangui was holding a writing brush, lowering his head to write and draw on a map, when he heard Zuo Chunqiu say that Geng Jingzhong wanted to beat Jiang Ning, he snorted and said: "Jiang Ning is guarded by Yue Le, so he can't beat him down. "

"It doesn't matter if you can't beat him," Zuo Chunqiu said with a smile, "King Geng can occupy a piece of territory in Jiangbei...and then surrender to the President. If the President becomes the emperor, he can make him a king. At that time, he will offend Manqing. If he dies, his desire to be an emperor also dies, if he wants to survive, he has to fight for the president with all his might."

"Hahaha!" Wu Sangui put down his brush, "It turns out that you are the old man's number one advisor, Commander Zuo!"

"President," Zuo Chunqiu said with a smile, "this minister is also thinking about King Geng! Although King Geng stayed in Fujian, he would not lose his title, but his father and ancestors committed too many crimes and offended the people of Chaozhou too deeply, so it is inevitable that he will be settled by Qiu Hou .”

Geng Jingzhong didn’t do any evil himself, he was not born when his grandfather did bad things, he was a hostage in Beijing when his father did bad things, and after he arrived in Fujian, he dreamed of becoming an emperor... With a goal in life, it is natural to be active Upward, to buy people's hearts.So he is basically a "Ningwang".

But his "benevolence and righteousness" can't hold back his "unfilial father" and "unfilial father" who have done too many bad things!

"Continuing to be loyal to the Manchu Qing is also a dead end," Zuo Chunqiu said again, "If he wants to follow the Manchu Qing all the way to the black, then Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao, and Shang Zhijie's lessons are vivid in his mind! And the President already knows that he is going to Kangxi The proposed strategy of surprise attack on Changsha will definitely be guarded against... Therefore, his strategy is impossible to succeed."

"Father Commander," Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's son, suddenly asked, "If Geng Jingzhong really marches to Changsha, can Gao Dejie's 1 people support it?"

"I can't hold it..." Wu Sangui shook his head, "And there won't be 1 people staying in Changsha!"

"Father, what do you mean..."

"The decisive battle in Hubei is imminent. How could it be possible for my father to put Gao Dejie and Li Benshen's [-] elite soldiers in Changsha and Hengzhou? My father's troops are not so abundant."

Wu Sangui actually wants to gather all 2 people guarding the back road to Jingzhou!

"Father, you want to transfer them to Jingzhou?" Wu Yingxiong was stunned, "But in this way, Hunan will be too empty. What if Geng Jingzhong..."

Wu Sangui laughed and said, "There is a third trump card for being a father! He is the real big brother on the Huguang battlefield!"

"Father, you mean Zu Zeqing?"

"How could it be him? He only has thousands of elites in his hands, and it is very difficult to guard Guangxi."

Wu Sangui shook his head with a smile, and said with a smile: "Father is talking about Zhu Heqi! The battle of Huguang is related to the rise and fall of the world, and he really wants to sit and watch? Although the old man doesn't want to be under another man, he can still become a grandson with him That’s good, the south of the Yangtze River will be divided equally. If the old man wins in Huguang, the world will still be able to win three points. If the old man loses, can he really fight against the world with the province of Guangdong?”

Wu Sangui's greatest reliance turned out to be Zhu Heqi!

This old traitor is really good, and Zhu Heqi will definitely not ignore the Huguang battlefield.

But now he still wants to add another layer of insurance.

Wu Sangui glanced at Liu Xuanchu, his former first military adviser, "Xuanchu, surely that Yang Qilong will explain this truth to him, right?"

Wu Sangui now knows that Yang Qilong is under Zhu Heqi's subordinates... This is really Sanhe Qilong, with both.

Liu Xuanchu said with a smile: "President, why don't you let me go to Guangdong and talk about it... I heard from those vassal merchants who brought gunpowder from Guangdong that Zhu Heqi will welcome Zheng Yanping's cousin as a side concubine recently, and they will make a big deal. Field. The minister just happened to make a trip in the name of He Shi."

Wu Sangui laughed: "That's good, we and Xuan Ye are fighting to the death, but he is busy getting married, it's a bit too comfortable."

Chapter 283 Kaqiu kills!

When Wu Sangui thought that Zhu and Qi were very leisurely in Guangzhou, they still had kung fu, and Zheng Jing's cousin was in love with each other.This sage, son, who is responsible for the rise and fall of the world on his left shoulder, the revival of the original Confucianism on his right shoulder, and the task of leading the Chinese people to fight against imperialism and colonialism, is so busy that he can hardly touch the ground.Where is there any time to spend, Qingqing me?

Moreover, he and Miss Bei have not seen each other for quite a while—although she came here to be a concubine, this is no ordinary concubine!

That's the concubine who left the palace of the vassal and entered the emperor's house.The ceremony performed is the ceremony of accepting concubines by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

And before the ceremony, even Grandson Zhu couldn't let Mrs. Bei come to teach Latin at home again, it was said that it was against the rules of etiquette.

Therefore, Mr. Bei lived in the Yanping Palace set up by Zheng Jing in Guangzhou City during this time. Zheng Jing's mother, the concubine Dong Taifei who was very troublesome and liked to do politics, personally taught Mr. Bei the principles of three obediences and four virtues.

In addition to not being able to see Teacher Bei, Da Boling has not let Zhu Heqi touch her recently... She finally became pregnant with Zhu Heqi's child, and now her stomach is already very big, and it is inconvenient to do anything.Moreover, she was very afraid that she would have a miscarriage accidentally, and there would be no place to cry.

Fortunately, there is Qiu Shuzhen beside Zhu Heqi. She was pregnant and gave birth to a child, so Shuzhen stayed in Chaozhou and did not go to Guangzhou.But after getting together again, it looks more like a newlywed... Now that this little girl has become a mother and a little woman, it is even more interesting.

In addition, that "Maid Cang" may have reached the age, or it may be because of the good nutrition after following Zhu Heqi, her body has really grown up and developed very strong.And from time to time, she rubbed against Zhu Heqi, which seemed interesting...Zhu Heqi had already decided to take her with her next time she went out to comfort her pure heart.

Of course, this kind of ordinary private life is not important to Zhu Heqi who has become a saint.

A saint... of course he wants to save the country and the people, and he is against imperialism and colonialism!

And the recent news from the Huguang battlefield also made people in Guangzhou feel nervous.

Wu Sangui and Kangxi are placing more and more bets on the Huguang battlefield!Wu Sangui has already made a big bet of [-] troops.

And Emperor Kangxi not only brought in the elite of the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Battalion soldiers, but also created some kind of coated slave army... It sounds like cannon fodder!

They have all raised their bets to this level, and Kangxi seems to be giving everything he has.If this bet is lost, the Qing Dynasty's national fortune will probably be over.At that time, Wu Sangui will not be able to sweep the world?

Don't look at this old guy's bad deeds and countless harms, it is a stink in the history books.But if he really wants to beat that little pockmark to death or catch him, then there will be nothing wrong with him. By that time, it will be too late for scholars and bureaucrats in the world to seek refuge. Who cares how bad he is?

If Wu Sangui loses the bet, most of the old money he has accumulated over the years will be wiped out with him.

And Emperor Kangxi was a ruthless character, if he was allowed to take care of Wu Sangui, wouldn't he be so arrogant that he would push the front line to Zhu Hechi's doorstep?

Now Zhu Heqi only has Guangdong in his hands, plus three prefectures in Fujian, two prefectures and half prefectures in Hunan, at most he can take advantage of the decisive battle between Wu Sangui and Kangxi to eat most of southern Jiangxi and Fujian... he is dead That is to say, the land of three provinces, of which Guangdong is the one that is really firmly controlled.

Relying on this level of strength to fight against Kangxi, who has defeated Wu Sangui and is strong in the limelight, even if he can win in the end, the price to be paid may be unimaginably high, right?

So Zhu Heqi, who originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, has changed his mind a bit recently.Although the navy is not yet fully ready, the wind direction at sea in autumn and winter is not convenient for a large number of seagoing ships to sail northward.

But it's not that Zhu Heqi doesn't have big cards in his hands to participate in the Huguang battlefield to play two big hands.

Huangpu Island shooting range.

Various senior and mid-level officers of the Jinyi Pro-Army in Guangzhou Mansion gathered together.All of them were dressed in red and yellow scarves, with long swords on their bodies, surrounded by the Great Sage Zhu, carefully looking at the two strangely shaped weapons.

These two weapons are composed of six round and thick bronze pipes, which are divided into upper and lower rows and connected in parallel.It is also installed on a complex two-wheeled gun mount that can adjust the high and low firing angles.This kind of copper pipe looks like a cannon at first glance, but it is not the case when you look closely, because it is transparent at both ends, it is a pipe.And the outer wall of the tube is not too thick, so it cannot bear the huge chamber pressure at all.

But these two weapons emitted a golden light, and there was still a majestic demeanor when they were placed there.

It's amazing at first glance!

I don't even look at it, but I know it's very powerful... because this weapon was invented by Zhu Dasheng himself. It's called a multiple rocket launcher, and the secret code name is "Kaqiu Kill"!

When you hear the name, you know it's super powerful!

Several students from the Military Academy were sweating profusely adjusting the height and angle of the rocket launcher, and stuffing long cylindrical rockets with big heads and small bodies into the copper pipes.

The officers murmured in low voices.

"Good guy, shoot out six rounds at once... If all of them hit, how many people will die? What's this called?"

"It's called multiple rocket launchers, and it's also called Kaqiu Kill!"

"Kaqiu Kill? What does the name say?"

"Of course, did you see those rockets? They are all with big heads and small bodies. The big head can't fit into the pipe, it just gets stuck...or else it will fall out of the pipe, and the explosives in the big head are also Unable to ignite the fire. This card word comes from this!"

"Oh, what a fantastic idea! What's the meaning of the word 'autumn'?"

"Did you see, there is a whistle on that big head, and it will make a sound of 'Qiuqiu' when it is played later, it is scary."

"What about killing?"

"Kill? Hehe, if the rocket bomb is solid, it can be a big killer!"

"The miracle of creation is really amazing... Military division, is this Kaqiu Sha invented by the ancestors?"

"No, no... this is invented by our eldest son! This is the killer weapon of saints!"

With their hands behind their backs, Zhu Heqi was also looking around at the two multiple rocket launchers in front of him, but none of the people's comments caught his ears.This is a military weapon that he "low imitated" the Type 63 multiple rocket launcher in his memory!

It is probably the most powerful weapon that can be mass-produced under the current level of handicraft technology.

In fact, with Zhu Heqi's "magic medicine" level, high explosives can also be prepared in small quantities.

However, weapons that cannot be mass-produced are of little military significance, and things such as "sugar drug grenades", "sugar drug rockets", "multi-barrel rocket launchers", and the cable ignition rope made of the principle of yellow phosphorus matches , can be mass-produced.

This is the real useful "golden finger"!

It's a pity that the thunder mercury fuze is too difficult to deal with. Right now, it can only be ignited with an intubation fuze, which is still not very reliable.

While Zhu Heqi was pondering the issue of fuzes, Zhuge Zhengyang had already commanded several artillery science students from the Whampoa Military Academy to fill all twelve rockets in place.Then he picked up a suona and blew it violently.

Hearing the sound of the suona, Zhu Heqi came back to his senses, and said to the left and right: "Go, let's hide behind the sandbag wall."

There are still some problems with the reliability of this multiple rocket launcher... If the ignition cord at the tail suddenly goes out, causing the rocket launch to fail, then its "big head" will explode outside the rocket barrel.

So after the ignition is completed, all artillerymen and people watching the launch have to hide behind the bunker.

After Zhu Heqi and others hid behind the bunker, Zhuge Zhengyang directed a few artillerymen to ignite all the fuses, and then hid together behind a sandbag wall behind the two rocket launchers.

After a while, the people hiding behind the observation bunker saw flames erupting from the tail of the rocket launcher, and then the rockets made strange calls of "Qiuqiu", dragged their scary tail flames, and shot straight to the ground. Rush into the air...

Chapter 284 Teacher Bei, Be Careful of Family Law!

Bei Jiaxin, the Latin teacher of Zhu Heqi, the third grandson of Zhu, is in a good mood these days, but there are also some troubles.

The reason why she is in a good mood is that she is going to marry soon, and marry a man who is quite satisfactory.His character and knowledge are top-notch.There is also a family business that is getting more and more prosperous, and the family background is noble enough.She is the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, even higher than her cousin Zheng Jing!

And those troubles are that her wishful man originally had a wife, and there were more than one.Before she got married, Zhu and Qi already had two wives, and they were still pretty and extremely competitive wives.The first wife, Qiu Shuzhen, and the second wife, Ye Yuling, are all stunners in the world. Even Bei Jiaxin, who has been very confident in her appearance since she was a child, can't guarantee that she can surpass those two in terms of beauty.

Leaving aside her face, her body alone is not as graceful as Ye Yuling's!

In fact, before she passed the door, she was serving by Zhu Heqi's side. She was also a Latin teacher and a laboratory assistant. It can be said that she was very close to Zhu Heqi.But this bearded man has been guarding the defense of men and women, and has not "pushed" her... The reason for this, apart from Zhu Heqi's noble character, is probably because of Ye Yuling's existence!

Seeing that Ye Yuling finally got pregnant and prevented Zhu and Qi from touching each other, Qiu Shuzhen, the eldest wife of Zhu Dashengren, came in after confinement.

Although this Qiu Shuzhen is said to be the "big" wife, she is not very old, several years younger than Ye Yuling, and about the same as her, Bei Jiaxin.

Qiu Shuzhen is very beautiful, young, and has a good family background - she is just the cousin of King Yanping, but she is the daughter of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the sister of the Governor of the Navy!

And she's the original lady!How do you let Teacher Bei compete?

It was said that according to her words, Ye Yuling, who was doted on by Zhu Hexi, would obediently follow the family law.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Bei Jiaxin, who was covered with a red hijab and supported by two old mothers to salute Zhu Heqi, Qiu Shuzhen, and Ye Yuling, felt very upset at the moment. of.

I am afraid that I will offend the old wife Qiu, and she will do the same thing as Da Boling... But when her aunt Dong Taifei taught her the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" in traditional Chinese culture, she repeatedly emphasized that she must compete with Qiu Shuzhen and Da Boling.

Because she married Zhu Heqi on behalf of Yanping Palace!Behind her is Yanping Palace, the "Hu Jian Gang" in the Ming Dynasty.Qiu Shuzhen and Ye Yuling are both from Chaozhou, and behind the two women is the powerful Chaozhou gang.

If Bei Jiaxin is suppressed by the two of them, then the "Hu Jian Gang" will always be suppressed by the Chaozhou Gang, and the Yanping Palace will lose its current honor.

Although aunt Dong Taifei's words sound reasonable, but Bei Jiaxin still doesn't know how to compete with those two women who are as beautiful as her, and her status is older than her?Is it possible to talk about mathematics and natural law with Zhu Dashizi?

As soon as she thought of this, Saiwu Aoi's voice suddenly sounded: "Shi Zifei, the second wife, the third wife has arrived."

Hearing the voice of "Maid Cang", Bei Jiaxin's beautiful eyebrows twisted into small balls... This girl with a baby face and a very graceful body seems to be very popular with the prince!

It is true that there is interception in front and pursuit in the back!

Bei Jiaxin, who was covered with a red hijab, had already been helped into a hall. Just as she was about to salute the eldest wife Qiu Shuzhen and the second wife Ye Yuling, she heard Ye Yuling speak.

"Third Sister, the Crown Prince has a guest to see, and I don't know when he will be able to come. You first salute to the Crown Princess, and then offer you a bowl of tea... I will tell you about the family rules of the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
