Chen Wen's Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies were famous, and Shang Kexi asked himself if he had the ability to defeat Yue Le or Ji'er Harang with the same strength, and he was even more afraid of Chen Wen, who had done this. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is precisely because of this fear that he has to increase his strength as quickly as possible, in order to survive, this is understandable, and even from the moment when Chen Wen was able to tolerate Shang Kexi to ride the wall on both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the name of Shang Zhixin, he already had this consciousness.

"The thief Chen wants to punish us and others, it can be said that he is deliberate, before there were Qing troops in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of Huguang as a containment, and his own troops are far from enough to control the larger occupation area, now Nanjing is in his hands, and Fan Wencheng in the north of Huguang has also been unable to support it alone, this king originally planned to use the opportunity of the old thief to withdraw from Liangguang to expand his strength, but the Chen thief did not even ask for the holy decree, and brazenly launched an attack on the feudal towns of Fujian and Guangdong."

Shang Kexi gritted his teeth, but Jin Guang and the others below also knew. Please? That's impossible, neither Sun Kewang nor Yongli will sit back and watch Chen Wen continue to grow bigger, at this point, there is no difference between "Cao Cao" and "Emperor Xian".

However, Chen Wen started with Liu Qingtai and used the fact that Geng Jimao sold grain and grass to Liu Qingtai as an excuse. Now that he has entered Guangdong, while hyping that he is giving Hao Shangjiu a rich man, he has played the banner of suppressing Shang Kexi to avenge the Ming army in Guangdong, at first glance it seems that Shang Kexi is making excuses for Chen Wen, but in fact, even if Shang Kexi does nothing and is a harmless baby in Guangzhou City, Chen Wen will also solve his trouble, there is no other possibility.

"The last general will strictly obey the orders of the prince and will defend Guangzhou to wait for the situation to change."

The heavy responsibility of defending the city, Shang Kexi was naturally handed over to Xu Erxian, this is the general he brought out from Dongjiang Town, loyal to him, never a word. And the same is true of Ban Zhifu, another heavy general under his command, at this moment Ban Zhifu is still on the way back with the army, and when that army arrives, he and Wu Liuqi and Huang Yingjie, who are coming, are outside the walled city, thinking that they should respond. As for Lin Benzhi, the deputy general of Shaozhou, there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses, and his combat effectiveness was relatively low, so it was better to continue to guard Shaozhou than to become the weak point of the defenders in Guangzhou, so as to harass the grain route of the Ming army from southern Jiangxi in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have prepared the guards properly, and the work of investigation and meticulous work is also continuing, and now the thief Chen is still on the road, with Guangzhou Jiancheng, half a moon should be able to hold it. I'm only afraid of ......"

Jin Guang stopped talking, but everyone present knew exactly what he was going to say.

"Since the thief Chen dared to send troops to attack without asking for the order, when the holy decree arrived, he could also be said to be an old thief and a scholar Sun Kewang acted so pretentiously and refused to obey the edict. So in the final analysis, it still depends on two things, one is the threat of Sun Kewang's army to Jiangxi, and the other is ourselves. ”

Shang Kexi finished speaking with the golden light, and he had already thought of these on the way. Only if you can fight can you make peace, but whether it is a field battle or a siege of the city, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang has a brilliant record, and he can do it when he asks himself in Guangzhou, but if he wants Chen Wen to withdraw from the army, in the final analysis, it still depends on the role of external forces. And this external force also takes time, Sun Kewang will not be angry for him, he must show the possibility of perseverance before there will be external help, Sun Kewang is like this, even if Zheng Chenggong, who has just carved up Geng Jimao with Chen Wen, he also plans to give it a try.

"Mr. Jin, it's not enough to prepare guards and investigate spies, Guangzhou must be fortified and cleared, anyone who refuses to retreat to western Guangdong will be killed, all the houses will be burned down, and all the grain will be robbed, and even more than one person, a tile, and a grain of rice must not be left for Chen Thief!"

It is inevitable that the wall will clear the wilderness, and Jin Guang is not doing it, but compared to Shang Kexi, he still lacks the ruthlessness to kill, burn, and rob the people under his rule. In fact, it's no wonder, otherwise how can people be the king of Sanshun.

"The lower official understands, and the lower official will arrange it."

Hurriedly expressed his attitude, Jin Guang then admonished Shang Kexi: "Lord Wang, it's better to let Wu Liuqi and Huang Yingjie do it." Chen thieves don't rub sand in their eyes, and their hands are dirty enough, so they don't have to worry about them betraying the prince. ”

"What Mr. Kim said is very true."

Shang Kexi was deeply concerned about this, Wu Liuqi and Huang Yingjie were not his cronies after all, but they were the generals of the green battalion who fell to him in the years when the Great King Banner changed in the city of Guangdong. Such people are not only Wu and Huang, such as Lin Benzhi and Xu Long. As for Guangzhou's original governors and fubiaos, they have been digested by him and absorbed as the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, and he has also shown loyalty in the recent offensive to the west, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Let's work harder, the Chen thief's stall is too big, and there will always be times when it is stretched. As long as Chen Thief can't hold it anymore and acquiesces in his annexation of Chaozhou, we can win the time to integrate the two Guangzhous. ”

………………

Shang Kexi relied on the fortified city of Guangzhou, and more importantly, the fear of Chen Wen in other feudal towns. However, this half a month is not a lot - Chen Wen's army is still in Chaozhou at the moment, even the two divisions that set off from Nanjiang are now in the north of Huizhou, Chen Wen will spend most of the time on the journey alone, and there are only a few days left, Du Yonghe has been guarding under him and Geng Jimao's troops for nine months, is he not as good as Li Chengdong's general?

After arriving in Huizhou with his troops and horses, and meeting with Huang Yingjie, the general soldier of Huizhou, he abandoned Huizhou and moved towards Guangzhou. Before the army could enter the territory of Guangzhou, Shang Kexi's order to clear the wall arrived, and the order was very simple, they were to burn all the houses along the way, drive all the people along the way to Guangzhou, and kill all those who refused to leave, as for the money and food, even the people were killed, would they still stay?

Got such an order, Huang Yingjie happily responded to the order, before Shang Kexi's army marched westward, destroying the withered and decaying along the way, looting money and food and the population was not counted, which made him envious, and now Shang Kexi has shown that he has expressed the attitude of holding Guangzhou, waiting for the edict of the Son of Heaven and Sun Kewang's army, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to make a windfall.

"I'm afraid this windfall will be a disaster."

Wu Liuqi sighed, but did not express it. He was born in the local regiment training in Chaozhou, started by exterminating bandits, and climbed to the high position of chief military officer step by step. The so-called regimental training is mostly a local non-governmental organization with soldiers and self-defense, and he used the prestige of the Ming and Qing courts to wash his identity into an official representative, but he still remembers that truth. However, Chen Wen has always regarded himself as protecting the territory and the people, and his tolerance for the cruelty of the people is very low. Therefore, this property is really hot.

knew so, but Wu Liuqi didn't plan to disobey. There is no other reason, disobedience will lead to rebellion, and from his own point of view, he is still resistant to surrendering to Chen Wen.

It's not that foreign generals can't be reused in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, there are a lot of rumors about the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, and Wu Liuqi also knows that Zhang Zisheng and Ma Xin, who marched into Fujian this time, were not brought up by Chen Wen, but now one is a prince and the other is a marquis, both of whom are marshals with heavy troops, and they can be called infinitely beautiful. But these two people were Chen Wen who took refuge in the past when he only had three or four prefectures, one with tens of thousands of men and women and a large number of Jiangxi scholars, who had fought against the Qing army in Jiangxi for many years, while the other simply sold the territory of the two prefectures to Chen Wen as a capital for promotion.

But now, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies have become a behemoth, and it is extremely difficult for foreign generals to be like Zhang Zisheng and Ma Xin. In this case, he is a small chief military officer, instead of going to Chen Wen to bow down and be small, it is far better to follow Shang Kexi, and maybe he can even mix up his personal appearance of a dog.

In an instant, Wu Liuqi had a lot of thoughts, but his subordinates were much simpler, and they were all surprised by the generous generosity of the king of Nanhai County. They were born in the regiment and can still maintain military discipline in their hometown, but when they go to a foreign country, it is completely different, and they are indispensable for stealing chickens and dogs.

In the next few days, the armies of Huizhou and Chaozhou carried out a sweep of eastern Guangzhou like locusts crossing the border. Everywhere I went, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the villages and towns along the way were ablaze with blazing fires, and thick smoke rose into the sky. Countless men, women, and children were driven westward by these two armies, whips and scabbards rattled on anyone who was a little slower in the daytime, and at night, the colonels forcibly dragged the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law they fancied into the camp to prostitute themselves, and the slightest disobedience was a matter of a knife.

The military is a well-defined group, and there is oppression from the top down. When soldiers need to be released, they often choose to pour their suppressed emotions on weaker civilians.

The brainwashing of later generations Chen Wen has been doing it since Dalan Mountain, relying on the propaganda of the former heroic division to protect the territory and the people, relying on the lure of dividing the land and the coercion of severe punishment and strict laws, the strict military discipline of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies made the soldiers under his command reject the bullying of the common people from the heart. However, for other armies of this era, whether in China or Europe, robbery was the main source of income for soldiers, and now they are ordered to loot, which must be intensified.

While the two armies of Huang Yingjie and Wu Liuqi plowed out two hells of blood and fire in the eastern part of rich Guangzhou, Chen Wen's army also left Chaozhou and advanced in the direction of Guangzhou.

Chen Wen didn't know anything about Shang Kexi's response, but he knew very well that this cunning and wise King Zhishun, King Pingnan, and King Nanhai were by no means easy to match. The army went all the way to the west, but only the distance between the two places, Chen Wen's army had to travel for more than ten or twenty days at an average daily speed of forty or fifty miles.

In fact, the speed of the march can be faster on weekdays, but the mortar cannon carried really slows down the march. But if you don't bring it, you can't do it, and the need to siege the city exists, so it has to be.

Fortunately, the army didn't go far, and someone was already chasing after it in the direction of Chaozhou. Chen Wen had never seen anyone coming, but Sun Yunxuan, who was acting as a guide in Chen Wenjun, was very excited.

"The last general will supervise Chen Qice, the general of the Guangdong Navy Division, and meet the king."

Chen Qice's name Chen Wen has heard that the Jiangmen victory is a good start to the battle of Xinhui, and Chen Qice's sailors are also among the elite in Guangdong, and even Zheng Chenggong mentioned this name before leaving, let alone a guide.

"General Ling Hai's Jiangmen victory has greatly boosted the morale of my emperor's Ming Shui Division."

When you meet, you always have to say a few words of pride from others, which is the least politeness, and Chen Qice was quite excited about Chen Wen's praise. After all, Chen Wen is a famous king twice, and even the prince of Tartar is not an opponent, but he is such as today's leading famous general, even Li Dingguo is already slightly inferior, and being able to get Chen Wen's praise can be regarded as a great thing for a glorious life, and even passed on to future generations.

"The last general received the king's order, and immediately led the fleet to come, and dared to love the king to give our sailors a chance to take revenge!"

Chen Qice lost his troops in front of Xu Erxian, which was something that could not be helped, but now that Chen Wen is here, it will be different. Not to mention anything else, the wild wave battle, even Zilharang can't do it, and the surname Shang has to stand aside.

"General Linghai went thousands of miles to help, this king is very relieved, this time this king is here to avenge the king of western Guangdong, and he will never spare that guy Shang Kexi."

As early as the siege of Quanzhou, Chen Wen had already dragged Zheng Chenggong's channel to convey the news of his imminent entry into Guangdong to the Ming army in western Guangdong. On the one hand, it was to allow those Ming troops in western Guangdong to better hold on, and on the other hand, it was also to force Shang Kexi to return to Guangzhou, after all, he was too lazy to go all the way from Fujian to Guangxi.

Chen Qice led the fleet to arrive, and Chen Wen was a little worried about the safety of Shangxiachuan Island for him, but Chen Qice didn't care about it. In his words, the Ming army in western Guangdong looked forward to Chen Wen for a long time, and they all counted on Chen Wen to avenge them, and now that he had Li Changrong's sailors to assist in the defense of Shangxiachuan Island, Xu Long still couldn't do anything.

The Ming army in western Guangdong was looking forward to it, and Chen Qice also brought greetings from Li Changrong, Deng Yao, Zhou Jintang and others, and most of the more distant Guangxi and inland Wang Xing and other departments were still limited to the convenience of news transmission without waterways, but the people's hearts and minds were still clear at a glance.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Ma, look, we are here to fight the civil war, and we all have so many people to support it, which shows that Shang Kexi's popularity in Guangdong is rotten."

Sending Chen Qice away, Chen Wen couldn't help but ridicule Zhang Zisheng and Ma Xin, Zhang Zisheng smiled with his chin on his head, but Ma Xin followed closely: "King, this is not a civil war, and our Jiangsu and Zhejiang kings have not taken Shang Kexi, a traitor, as an official soldier." ”

Hearing this, Chen Wen stroked his palms and smiled: "What Brother Ma said is very true, since Liaodong, he has followed the Tartars to fight for the tiger, and slaughtered countless cities on the way south, how many Han people died at the hands of these Sanshun kings, if they can all be washed away, then who should they find to reason with the justice and justice in this world." ”
