Chapter 145 Zhennanguan

The sound of artillery fire and the screams were earth-shattering. This tragedy lasted for a long time in the dark night, and the people who survived in the city could not sleep all night.

At nightbreak, the sailors immediately raided their homes and hunted down the Portuguese, and the Han Chinese were driven out of the city.

The corpses in the city were all pulled out of the city, and at this time, Chen Xiong also surrounded the city with 20,000 personal soldiers.

"My lord, the silver taels are only eight million taels, but more than 10,000 guns and more than 200 large and small cannons have been confiscated. It turned out that the Portuguese not only built a shipyard, but also secretly built a firearms factory and a steel mill. ”

Chen Xiong frowned when he heard that it was only eight million taels, but as soon as he heard that so many firearms had been seized, plus the firearms factory, he immediately understood.

"Well, it seems that the Portuguese are secretly hoarding arms in order to break away from the rule of the Siyans." Chen Xiong's smile was full, these factories are more important than tens of millions of taels.

Xu Junling was also very satisfied, and he was very hot at these guns. "What should you do with these people, my lord?"

Chen Xiong looked at the tens of thousands of people outside the city gate and said, "The Han people will send them across the shore and give them rations for a few days." Or let the First Fleet send it back to Guangzhou for resettlement after it arrives, and go to Lianzhou as soon as General Qiu Sen arrives. ”

"Honorable Lord. But are these firearms for us to take away? Xu Keding asked expectantly.

Chen Xiong smiled and nodded: "That's okay, you guys load the ship!" But if you want to divide it equally with the Second Fleet, you won't be able to use up more than 10,000 firearms! Gunpowder was also pulled away. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Xu Keding immediately bowed.

"By the way, my lord, how should I deal with those border troops in Zhennan Pass!" Xu Keding sighed inexplicably! These border armies could not have submitted to the junta so easily.

Zhennan Pass! Chen Xiong was suddenly stunned! I almost forgot about the border warriors!

"How much silver grain did the Liangguang Governor's Mansion give them before?" Chen Xiong looked at Xu Keding curiously.

Xu Junling said with a smile: "Before our sailors transported, the grain was only given to 60,000 people, and the silver was two and one million taels. Once in half a year, it should have been sent to the military salary a long time ago! But they! ”

Chen Xiong nodded clearly: "Prevention is important, nothing else matters, this king will personally persuade them in the coming year." In that case, you bring me with this king's order to have the Politbury allocate 100,000 people half a year's rice grain, and you will bring 2 million taels from the seizure to them. Divide the military pay among the generals of the various departments, but you can't let people swallow it! ”

Xu Keding was overjoyed and immediately said: "It's the lord, please rest assured!" No one dares to despise the important border towns, which is related to the safety of the entire Lingnan! ”

"Well, remember to tell Qiu Sen that the equipment and Portuguese craftsmen of the factory will be brought back to Guangzhou for me in their entirety, and the shipyard shipwrights will stay!" The war is over, and Chen Xiong should also return to Guangzhou.

"It's the lord."

After the lord boarded the ship with the army and left, Xu Keding was still excited. The Third Fleet, which had been preparing for a bloody battle, finally captured the city of Australia without any damage!

……

The first battle of the island was brought down, and the Portuguese people of the island who had been entrenched in the fortress for nearly 100 years were completely wiped out in two nights.

King Annan, the lord of the Han army, once again told the world that the Han army was still an invincible and fearless army. The prestige of the Han pro-army also spread from the Han people on Ao Island throughout the Lingnan and South China Sea areas.

The island was destroyed in an instant, and not only the major maritime merchants were frightened, but even the Spaniards and the Dutch began to pay attention to the new masters of the southern country.

As the Third Fleet moved south, the Battle of Aodao also spread among the coast guards and sailors in the South China Sea. Even the three major Haiwei of Qiongzhou Mansion, which are across the sea, are shocked! The officers and soldiers of Minami Oshima also had to think of a new way out!

King Annam returned to Guangzhou in victory after only five days of expedition, and the local Han people in Guangzhou still couldn't believe it. Historically, the official army has to go to war, not always in the last month, or even half a year!

Chen Xiong returned home quietly and did not hold any welcome ceremony, and the prince's wedding day was still a few days away.

The north is full of cold and snow, but the area around Guangzhou is full of green seedlings and even a lot of wheat.

Wang Huacheng had to check in the neighborhood early in the morning, for fear that all the seedlings would become frost tablets overnight. There is no snow in Guangzhou, but in the morning the ground is covered with a thin layer of frost. This frost is not thick, but it can freeze many crops to death.

After Zheng Sen returned to Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilong did not blame him, but praised him for his ability to bend and stretch. The remaining 10 million taels of the Zheng family were also quickly sent to Guangzhou. Later, after the Battle of Aodao came, the Zheng family did not dare to have words of opposition, and they all praised Zheng Sen's shrewdness.

The wedding of King Annam was held directly outside the city, and nearly a million people in Guangzhou celebrated it for a day. More than a million people shared dinner, and all the fish and livestock near Guangzhou were emptied. After the wedding of King Annan, the Cantonese water wine was sold out. This wedding spent 6 million taels on the purchase of vegetables, food, water and wine, and many of them were even provided free of charge by Guangdong gentry households. This time, the most lively wedding in history has also appeared in the history books!

……

The commander of the Zhennan Guanbian Army in Longzhou is a native of Hulong Village, Longzhou County. He is of Han Liang ancestry, and his mother's family is the Liang clan, the largest family in Guangxi.

The 100,000 border troops at the border pass were nominally under the command of this fifty-six-year-old veteran general, but this was only in name. Among the 100,000 troops, the direct subordinates of the veteran Longzhou are 10,000 Longzhou troops, and 10,000 Liang's wolf soldiers only obey his orders. The other Han armies or the soldiers of each ethnic group had their own commanders, but all the generals respected this veteran who had been guarding the pass for thirty-four years.

At this time, Longzhou in Zhennan Guannei was gathering with the nine general soldiers to discuss, and the entire Guancheng was also full of slaughter.

The military salaries that should have come at the beginning of the year have not arrived for a long time, and the families of the soldiers are waiting for the military salaries that have survived the spring and winter.

"Generals, it seems that Guangzhou's military salary can no longer be allocated! The provinces near the left are willing to support some of them, but they are still short of half of the silver grain! "A break with the Canton junta, Longzhou has long expected today. But what he didn't expect was that these people in Lianzhou and Lingzhou also returned to King Annan. It is not surprising that Lingzhou surrendered, but the Lianzhou Mansion did not give in without a fight! Without the support of Lianzhou, the border army will be even more difficult!

"Hey! This, Admiral, you say how to do it! ”

"In this way, our border army can hold out for three months, and we can go to the mountains to find some food for a month! But there are still two months to go! ”

Everyone spoke of their own opinions, but no one said that they would voluntarily submit to King Annan. Guangzhou is thousands of miles away from the border pass, and many soldiers of the border army have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. If they surrender without a fight, how will they face their ancestors? The wolf soldiers have their pride, claiming to be the Han army that swept the world, and their wolf soldiers were the first to disobey. If they don't fight a few battles with the king of Annan, how can they match the name of the Lingnan wolf soldiers.

Xu Keding arrived at Zhennanguan for two days, but before that, he only persuaded him to surrender, and he deliberately waited for the arrival of the generals to say his true purpose.

The Third Fleet entered the bay to drive out the Annam Naval Division, which guarded the rear road of the border army, and the border army was also greatly welcomed.

"Report to the Admiral, General Xu, the naval master of Guangzhou, and ask to see you."

The admiral was puzzled: "What is the matter of him, if it is a matter of submission, let the king of Annan lead the army to talk about it." ”

"Yes, tell General Xu that it's okay for our border army to surrender, but it depends on whether the Han army has the ability."

"Haha, it's rumored that the Han army is invincible in the world, and the wolf soldiers of our clan want to see who is stronger." The generals were talking non-stop.

The young general shouted with a wry smile: "Back to the Admiral, General Xu has an order from the King of Annan and sends it to the generals." ”

The veteran Long Zhou smiled: "Okay, let him come over and see what King Annan has to say." ”

In order to deal well with the border army, Xu Keding also put a lot of thought into it. The garrison of his naval division is not far from the main force of the border army, and although he is not afraid of the border army coming to fight, he cannot kill each other. Even if the prince doesn't blame him, his reputation will plummet.

Xu Keding strode with his head held high, the wolf army at the border pass has always been the strongest soldier in Lingnan, and the wolf soldier is also the strongest soldier in the world, but it still can't be compared with the lord's Han soldiers. What's more, their military government has nearly one million armored soldiers, and the three fleets of the Navy Division are the first in the world.

With seven or eight thousand flintlock firearms and more than a hundred artillery pieces, he Xu Keding now dared to open a field battle with the wolf soldiers.

The three fleets were mixed, but most of the Third Fleet was still troops near Guangzhou. The hero of the wolf soldiers, Xu Keding and his subordinates also want to see it for themselves. However, the military orders of the Han army lord are not tolerated, and they cannot take the initiative to provoke.
