Chapter 771: The Emperor of Fuzhou

Ao Bai and Yang Shan, since they took refuge in the Tang Army, in this more than a year, learning Chinese to write Chinese characters, communicating with others, reading and writing are no hindrance, so the letter of Tang King Li Xiao, the two of them read through, but it is quite smooth.

After reading the letter, both of them were excited, and their expressions could be described as ecstatic.

"Prince Su! What a godsend! After King Tang spoke like this, what else do we have to say! Needless to say, I'll go to Fuzhou immediately and do it with that dog-in-the-road Dolgon! Ao Bai's voice, which became thicker and thicker because of excitement, shook the roof and trembled: "Fuck! In this Shanhaiguan, I have been aggrieved for more than a year with nothing to do, and Lao Tzu has to fade out of his mouth! Now, it's finally time to come out! Hmph, this time I went to Fuzhou, with the ability of Prince Su and the loyal assistance of us, I will definitely be able to re-open a piece of the world! To put it bluntly, I'm waiting to go to Fuzhou here, and I can be regarded as a local emperor. Isn't it much better than continuing to live in this Shanhaiguan land! ”

"Ao Bai is right! Grandma's, Lao Tzu is also fed up, doing nothing here all day long, and from time to time being angry by the battalion commander Zu Dale and those Han cultural officials, it is really embarrassing! Yang Shan then interjected: "As long as we return to Fuzhou, it will be a bird into the deep forest, a fish into the sea, how to act, it can all be done by heart, that is not subject to the jurisdiction of those bullshit officials, what a cool word!" What's more, King Tang said that the income from our army's outings can be used for their own use, and they will be rewarded according to their clans. I want to see if there is the promise of King Tang here, who else dares to chirp crookedly among the civilian officials of the Supervision Department in the army! ”

"Yes! King Tang's order is really too much to my heart! Ao Bai looked happy, and said hurriedly: "After we arrive in Fuzhou, not only can we plunder as much as we want, but we can also rely on this Fuzhou City as a foothold to lay a solid foundation for the future development of our army." Speaking of which, the plundering of the countryside and the beheading of people are actually still trivial matters, but if our army can seize the opportunity to recruit troops and buy horses in Fuzhou and accumulate strength, it will not only be able to compete with Dolgon's gang, but also make this guy restless in Shengjing. In the future, after our department has grown to a sufficient extent, it is also feasible to fight against the Tang Army. Such a good opportunity, Encore easily missed! ”

After listening to the speeches of the two, Hauge, who was sitting upright, finally had a bright smile on his originally serious face.

He coughed lightly and lowered his voice, "Good! The two of them think the same as this king, which really makes me feel gratified. This king can now tell the two of you that this time when we go to Fuzhou, we should first work hard to fight against the Qing court, and we must not be afraid, let alone have the idea of preserving our spare strength. Only when we show hard work and show the attitude of completely breaking up and fighting to the death for the homeland can we make Tang King Li Xiao and his ministers think from the bottom of their hearts that our soldiers and horses are sincerely serving the Tang army and are wholeheartedly working for Li Xiao, which can completely dispel their doubts and worries. Then, our department will have the opportunity to expand the army and strengthen the troops and horses privately, so as not to create resistance and opposition within the Tang Army. In the future, after our army is further strengthened, if there is an opportunity, we must first kill the god-killing Dolgon, and then become independent, divide Liaodong, and fight against the Tang army again. This is the king's long-cherished wish, and I hope the two generals will help me! ”

Hearing this, Ao Bai and Yang Shan stood up together and bowed their hands: "Prince Su rest assured!" The two of us will do our best to assist the Lord in creating a hegemony in the open, and we will not hesitate to do so! ”

"Good! With the help of two, the king's great things will be accomplished! During that time, you wait for the students to train the soldiers, prepare the equipment, and wait for the arrival of the Tang Army's sailors, and the whole army will set off immediately! ”

Hauge finished speaking loudly, his eyes sparkled, he stretched out his right hand suddenly, Ao Bai and Yang Shan also stretched out their hands, and three thick and powerful hands were tightly clenched together.

Next, the three ministers slaughtered all the prey that Ao Bai and Yang Shan had hit, and they were staggered, but they were happy.

About three days after Hauge received the letter, the Tang Army's naval division mobilized ships and came to the coast of Shanhaiguan.

At this time, Hauge's subordinates had already made preparations, and with Hauge's order, his three thousand soldiers, respectively, carried their bags and boarded the ship from the gangway, and at the same time, a large number of baggage and grain and grass were also loaded onto the ship.

Hao Ge and his two generals, Ao Bai and Yang Shan, naturally boarded the ship diligently, and the faces of the three of them were full of indescribable bright smiles.

Three days later, a convoy of nearly a dozen ships, after gathering more ships from Jinzhou, formed a vast fleet of nearly fifty ships, and then turned north, quietly approaching the coast of Fuzhou at dusk.

The city of Fuzhou, which was broken twice by the Tang army, was originally dilapidated, with few residents in the city and few defenders. These few defenders were almost frightened when they saw the ships of the Tang Army suddenly coming in a mighty manner.

The terrible sirens immediately sounded from all sides of Fuzhou City, and those defenders whose morale was already low appeared at the head of the city in a sparse manner, putting on a reluctant resistance.

Seeing that there were so few defenders, and the Hauge soldiers and horses on the ship, everyone was excited, and they all grabbed their weapons and equipment, and prepared for the landing.

Soon, the fleet was arranged in a long strip and docked off the coast of Fuzhou. Then, the gangways were lowered, and in a dim light and shadow, the soldiers and horses of the Hauge tribe poured up from the boats like a flood of open boxes, and rushed ashore.

Seeing the Tang warships docking, and seeing a large number of soldiers and horses landing ashore, the defenders at the head of Fuzhou City became more and more nervous when they landed. They were scurrying around like ants on a hot pan, not knowing what to do next.

When all the Hauge troops went ashore and were rapidly approaching Fuzhou City, the ships docked on the shore began to prepare for shooting.

More than 20 large ships of the Tiger Roar class and more than 30 other small ships of various types quickly lined up in battle formations along the coast outside the west gate of Fuzhou City. Then, on the three-layer gunwales of each warship, the guns of the door opened their covers one after another, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at the head of Fuzhou City, the Qing army defending the city that was demoralized but could only fight reluctantly.

When the Tang warships lined up in formation and at the same time nervously loaded gunpowder and loaded shells, the Qing troops defending the city saw such a scene, and everyone was suddenly terrified.

Of course, they knew that more than 50 ships of all sizes, and this intensive salvo of gunwales basically meant that the Tang Army would carry out a one-sided and almost complete slaughter of themselves!

This, what should this be?!

When the Qing army defending the city was in a panic, the Tang warships opened fire in unison.

"Ready, fire!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

More than 50 ships opened fire in unison, and each ship had about a dozen guns on each side, and in this salvo, about 500 guns were fired at the same time.

The dazzling golden fire flickered continuously, like a blurred dream, the bright red afterflame flying from the muzzle of the cannon, like thousands of red silk flying in the wind, more than 500 large and small black cannonballs, in a dense formation, with a violent and invincible attitude and strength, sent out a death howl, towards the defenders of the west gate of Fuzhou City, densely covered and shot away.

This salvo of naval artillery, attacking those demoralized Qing defenders, is simply a knife to kill chickens.

More than 500 high-speed iron balls plowed straight through the Qing army defending the city, and where each iron bullet passed, it was a straight and cruel bloody road. Wherever the iron bullet reaches, it will die if it touches it, and it will die when it touches it, and for a while, the flesh and blood flew like a human slaughterhouse, and the stumps, broken arms, and skull internal organs were thrown everywhere like flying flowers in the sky.

The screams continued from the west gate of Fuzhou City, and the huge terror made the Qing army, which was already frightened, collapse in an instant.

Every Qing soldier in the defending army was careless, and quickly fled for his life, hurriedly withdrew from the horse road to the city, and disappeared in an instant.

The first round of naval artillery salvo fire seemed to be ferocious, but in fact, there were not many Qing soldiers, only about 100 Qing soldiers were killed and wounded. But such an extremely terrifying artillery fire, which was full of absolute death, was a devastating blow to the morale of the Qing army.

The demoralized Qing defenders, who no longer had any organization or discipline to speak of, began to flee for their lives almost instinctively, like a swarm of bees that had lost their nests.

Soon, the north gate of Fuzhou City was opened, and the officials and defenders in the city rushed to flee for their lives. And after them, a large number of local people in Fuzhou also fled after them. For a time, people shouted and neighed and trampled on each other, and the screams of people were mixed with the neighing of horses, which made people's hearts palpitate.

The hundreds of cavalry of the Hauge Department could not let go of such a good opportunity, they immediately roared forward on their horses, quickly chased forward, and slashed and killed the civilians and defenders who did not have time to escape.

When the cavalry of the Haoge Department pursued and killed until dark, the infantry units of the Haoge Department also entered the city with a swagger through the open north gate, and occupied the entire city of Fuzhou almost without resistance.

Hauge, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, although his heart was extremely happy, he couldn't help but feel that he was invincible.

Speaking of which, the fact that he was able to take Fuzhou so smoothly and almost without resistance this time is all due to the Tang Army's sailors. As the titular commander, he just took the sheep by the hand and picked up a bargain for nothing.

However, such a short melancholy immediately dissipated in his heart, and he and Ao Bai Yang Shan and the two of them quickly galloped together, and together with those infantry, entered the city from the north gate of Fuzhou City.

When Hao Ge entered the city, he and Ao Bai, Yang Shan and others were surprised to find that the city of Fuzhou was still in ruins, and there were almost no residents in the city who had not fled.

Grandma's, this is a ruined empty city!

"Damn, this Fuzhou City is really dilapidated to the extreme. Anyway, if you come, you will be safe, and take this Fuzhou City as the foundation to stand on it, and let us work hard here for a future! Although Hauge felt depressed in his heart, he still loudly encouraged the generals on the left and right.

After Haoge's 3,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Fuzhou, they rested for a few days, and then immediately divided their troops into multiple routes, plundered all parts of southern Liaoning, and plundered the local villagers who had only accumulated a little for the winter.

Then, these former Manchurian soldiers and horses who defected to the Tang Army showed an extremely murderous side.

They gathered together the villagers who had been captured and had nothing, killed them all, cut off their heads, put them in lime nitrate, and brought them back, so that the Tang Army Supervisor and the civil servant could check their heads and receive a reward.

After they were triumphant and departed with a large number of captives and heads, these murderous beast soldiers set fire to the countryside and burned the houses of the villagers who had been captured and killed to ashes.

Soon, the outrageous evil deeds of the Haoge Department were immediately reported to the Qing court by Qing officials in southern Liaoning with snowflakes.

Dolgon, who had received the report, sat alone in his living room, his face gloomy, and he slowly got up and walked to the window, and quietly stared at the snow outside the window.

The snow was foggy, and he couldn't see the scenery outside clearly, just like his heart at this time, confused and depressed.

Alas, regret not being at the beginning!

really didn't arrive, Fan Wencheng's strategy to provoke Tang King Li Xiao and Chongxing Emperor Zhu Cihong to fight among each other would only get such a helpless result.

This Zhu Cihong was provoked, and before he could start his action, Li Xiao discovered the conspiracy and had to flee urgently. And all his actions have long been mastered by Li Xiao, and casually, the young Ming Emperor was secretly murdered by Li Xiao off the coast of Jiaozhou, and died in vain, meaningless.

What's even more hateful is that Zhu Cihong's death did not cause any movement and turmoil in the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, let alone cause any damage or blow to Li Xiao's prestige and ability. On the contrary, this person then single-handedly manipulated it, reinstated the new emperor, and arranged for Zhu Cizhi, who was only nine years old, to succeed him as Emperor Daming.

After the Anping Emperor ascended the throne, Li Xiao was even more affected by Jiuxi, claiming to be lonely, and completely regarded the Anping Emperor, who was only nine years old and still a child, as a puppet, and he himself seemed to be the real emperor of the Ming Empire.

Hmph, what is the difference between this rampant and domineering guy and Cao Cao and Wang Mang in history!

His actions are only one step away from the real usurpation of power. What's even more speechless is that Li Xiao's power is so powerful that he, the regent who is above 10,000 people under the Qing Kingdom, is also envious.

Unexpectedly, his own painstaking calculations not only failed to succeed, but allowed Li Xiao to take control of the situation and power one step closer, and became the invisible emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is really a huge irony.

Thinking of this, the corners of Dolgon's mouth unconsciously flashed a wry smile.

Li Xiao, a guy who refused to suffer a loss, must have been out of revenge, so he sent Manchurian soldiers and horses from the Haoge Department to settle in Fuzhou, and used this as a base to plunder southern Liaoning, so that his backyard caught fire, and there was no peace.

This trick uses the original Manchurian soldiers and horses to attack the homeland, so that the Manchurians can attack and destroy themselves and slaughter each other, but it is ruthless!

So, how should I deal with Li Xiao's vicious strategy now?
