"Your Highness, the Min River is far less wide than the Yangtze River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A large ship enters, and it is inconvenient to turn around. If the weak resist the strong, it is the best policy to attack the small boat. Mingfu and Oring had previously collected more than 300 small boats to be deployed as fireships in Langqiyu. It is within the Minjiang River today, and there is almost no plate. ”

The person who said these words to Chen Ming was Wu Xiqun, and next to him was Ye Xiangde. As soon as the main warship of the reorganized Qing Army's naval division arrived outside Fuzhou City, these two men immediately came to see Chen Ming.

The so-called reorganization -- the naval division of the Qing army -- is to unload the small cannons and load the cannons, and concentrate the artillery with the best performance and the largest caliber on a group of main warships with the best quality. The Langqiyu Naval Division Battalion is now under the control of the Naval Division of the Fu Han Army, Ye Xiangde and Wu Xiqun left Langqi Island with the front foot of the main fleet, and the rear foot of the Naval Fleet of the Fu Han Army staying on the sea drove into the Naval Division Camp. These things are tacit, and the cooperation between the two sides is very tacit.

"In this way, there is no threat to the sailor in the Minjiang River! Good, good, great. Go down and prepare. After taking Fuzhou City, I will have a drink with the two generals. ”

"Retire from your duties."

Ye Xiangde and Wu Xiqun had excitement on their faces, and after the two of them retreated, Chen Ming's eyes were still on the map of Fuzhou on the table, which was a very detailed geographical map, and the excellent geographical advantages of Fuzhou surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water were undoubtedly revealed on the map.

If the morale of the Qing army is high, even if their weapons are backward, the excellent geography of Fuzhou can allow the Fu Han army to sharpen their teeth for a while.

But the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. This person's heart was scattered, and even the most difficult terrain became as smooth as a road.

The vanguard of the Fu Han army stayed at Kuiqi Village, and further on was Xiaqilou, where the mountains to the north approached the Min River, leaving only a narrow line along the river. The width of the front was narrow, and the Qing army placed heavy troops here.

Chen Mingcai was reluctant to fight this place, he asked the sailors to carry two regiments of troops into Cangshan, which was the largest island in the Minjiang River in later generations, with a width of 15 miles from north to south and a length of nearly 50 miles from east to west, which was much larger than Langqi Island.

"Our mission is to cooperate with the Guards Brigade on the south bank to clear Cangshan before dark."

The two regiments of the 1st Division were holding operational meetings. Their purpose was clear. Whether it was the two regiments or the battalion officers below, no one took the Qing soldiers in Cangshan seriously. This combat meeting was more about the geography of the island and the defense points of the Qing army.

Gaogai Mountain, Shrimp Toad Mountain, Yantai Mountain, etc. on Cangshan Island were originally rock islands in the middle of the river, and then they were silted up by the sediment of the Minjiang River and connected to become the largest island of the Minjiang River today. This island is half rock, half sand island. The surface of the land is undulating, mainly plains and hills; The hills are distributed in the central, northwest, and southeast. There are many sandbanks and shoals around the island, and the area of the island continues to extend to the south and east.

"The sailor will carry us to land here and here. The warships on the river will give us the greatest cover......"

"Have you seen Tietou Mountain and Jiuqu Mountain?"

"These two places are the Qing army's positions that we first want to take......"

"Then ...... to the west, to the south"

……

The movements of the Fu Han army were obvious, when the warships were full of soldiers and sailed towards Cangshan, when the dense cannon sound sounded on the river, Shi Meng's eyes on the south bank of the Minjiang River narrowed slightly.

just squinted slightly, and then Shi Meng's demeanor did not change for a whole day. The Guards Brigade crossed the river at the same time, and the two cooperated to continuously sweep many important places guarded by the Qing army, and Wu Xiqun did not see him smile for a moment. If Wu Xiqun was a modern person, he would definitely think that Shi Meng was a 'facial paralysis'.

"Your Highness, this battle is getting more and more boring. In addition to defense, the Tartars are also defense. In the evening, Shi Meng, who turned to Chen Ming's side, said. His voice was very simple, and he spoke with a buzz.

Chen Ming looked up at the sky, there was not a trace of moonlight and starlight, and it was cloudy again, according to Wu Xiqun, there will definitely be rain tomorrow. He also wants to fight in the field, but where can he fight in the field now? "Isn't that good?"

"The Tartars don't dare to come out to fight in the field, which proves that they are afraid of us."

"Let's take down the water department tonight, and tomorrow we will flatten Fuzhou City."

The Qing army's sailors defected to the Han army, and their morale immediately returned to the level, which made Chen Ming can't help but think of the green battalions in history who took refuge in the Tatars when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. The generation of Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, when they followed the Tartars, their soldiers and horses were like wolves and tigers, and once they rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, they immediately withered, which is really ......

The surrendered Fujian Navy Division is also undergoing such a transformation, and they still need to make great efforts to attack the water department tonight.

In the dark night, fireworks kept rising on the head of Fujian City. The water department of Zhao went to Wushi Mountain [southwest of Fuzhou City], and the entire southern city wall of Fuzhou was bright.

But what's the use? The strong attack at night, Chen Ming was not prepared for a sneak attack.

"Putting ......"

One o'clock in the morning. With an order, hundreds of cannons were aimed at the front line from Kuiqi Village to the water department, and the bombardment continued.

The cannon fire in the dark night is far away, like the small light bulbs often seen by the lake in the 21st century, but these bulbs are not always bright, but flashing and bright, bright and dark.

Chen Ming looked at the direction of the water department, and the morale of the Qing army was ......, well, the Qing army had no morale at all.

He didn't even look at Kuiqi Village. "Tell the 1st Division to attack Kuiqi Village now. Tell the artillery positions on both sides of the river, concentrate fire on the water sector. "A large number of artillery pieces had been dragged to the bank of Cangshan before sunset, and the north bank of the Min River was separated from the north bank of the Min River by a few hundred meters wide north waterway.

Chen Ming looked at his pocket watch, and now the time was still three or four minutes away from half past one.

"Kill......"

"Rush, ......"

A loud voice resounded on the Qing army position in Kuiqi Village.

There were no dense gunshots, only sporadic flashes of fire.

"My lord, run. The Fu Han army is about to be killed. ”

On the first line of defense of the Qing army, a general of about thirty years old dragged the battalion officer and shouted anxiously.

The battalion officer is the Sipindu Division, and his kung fu should be very good, and he didn't pull him a single point when he dragged him to a point. The general is a high-spirited man, but Du Si is like a big clock, and he doesn't move at all.

"What are you running? Where can you run? ”

Du Si glanced at the general, he didn't expect that at this time, there were still people to persuade him. "Don't run away. Early surrender and good morning birth. If you run to the city, can Fuzhou City be defended? ”

Du Si knew very well what the morale of the Qing army was like. For example, in a dangerous place like Kuiqi Village, facing mountains in the north and water in the south, the width of a narrow line is less than 50 zhang, and one of its own battalion headquarters is guarding the front line, and it is estimated that half of the four or five hundred muskets have been fired, and the Fuhan soldiers are still one or two hundred meters away from the position, so they fled in an uproar. Only if such an army can hold Fuzhou, it is called hell!

"We're not full of people, and we're not flag people, why are you running?"

"Surrender obediently, cut our braids, let's be Chen Han's obedient people in peace, and live the rest of our lives."

It is said that this division was also born in Wujinshi, and the archway in his hometown has just been completed for a few years, but so what?

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. It should be the current Fuzhou Qing army!

……

"Master, the water department is broken."

At a quarter past two o'clock, Chen Yongsheng received the latest battle report, and the water department was broken. When the Fu Han army attacked the water department, a large number of Qing soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled, and only a few hundred banner soldiers were left to resist on the city, and they were easily wiped out by the vanguard of the first division.

From the beginning of the battle to the breaking of the city wall of Fuzhou, this total was only a few minutes? That's speed!

"Take the Nine Immortals Mountain and continue to attack inside."

Chen Yongsheng did not hesitate to order to continue the attack. It's a pity to stop at this time, we have to continue the attack and take Jiuxian Mountain, and below is the full city of Fuzhou. "It's too easy."

The geographical location of Fuzhou City is very superior, and when the city wall was built, for the sake of safety, the two hills on the north bank of the Min River were enclosed into the city wall. The Nine Immortal Mountains in the water department in the southeast corner can spread all the way to the south gate along the south city wall, and the Wushi Mountain to the southwest of the south gate is another mountain.

"Quickly return to Your Highness." Chen Yongsheng knew that Chen Ming would definitely order Cangshan's guards brigade to cross the river and attack the south gate. The water departments guarded by the General Army of the Qing Army were easily taken, and Fuzhou City would definitely be overwhelmed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The continuous flowering bombs fell into the Tuas Hall, which was the last stronghold of the Qing army in Jiuxian Mountain [Yushan]. Dashi Hall is also known as Guanyin Pavilion, is the site of Song Jiafu Temple, Kang Mazi changed to Wanshou Pavilion in 52 years, inside for "Wanshou Boundless" tablet, for the state city hundred officials worship the emperor place. In the second year of Qianlong, he was enshrined in the South China Sea Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Behind the palace, there is the inscription of Qianlong's "Imperial Theme Master Out of the Mountain", which narrates the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva going out of the mountain and changing from a man to a woman.

This is the place where the Fu Han army wants to bulldoze it. The mortar artillery unit of the Fu Han Army did not have any scruples and bombarded the four or five acres of Dashi Palace. The drum stones in front of the gate were blown open, and a pair of stone lions under the steps of the middle gate also changed greatly.

Hundreds of Manchu and Han Qing troops retreated here. The vanguard of the attack on the top of the hill tried to launch an attack on the temple of the great priest, but was pushed out by the banner soldiers inside. The vanguard force was small, so it was pushed outside to be on guard, and soon the large army of the Han army followed up.

Four or five acres is not small at first glance? But if you really convert it, it's about 3,000 square meters. It's a piece of land that's 50 meters x 60 meters.

In such a narrow range, dozens of light and heavy mortar cannons bombarded the Dashi Hall more than once, how hard the Qing army inside was. It's just that these people fled all the way to the top of the Nine Immortals Mountain, which can be regarded as a diehard loyalty of the Manchu Dynasty. Otherwise, they would have surrendered in the middle.

"Rush, ......"

After 20 minutes of shelling, a battalion officer slashed at the ruined Dashi Hall with a waist knife, and 1,200 soldiers of the Han Army held bayonets and held spears and swords, and pounced on the Dashi Hall.

After 20 minutes of shelling, the wall of the Dashi Hall had already been blown open several gaps, and the Manchu and Han Qing soldiers inside were even blown up to cry and cry for their fathers and mothers, but unfortunately it was too late for them to think about surrendering at this time. As soon as one or two hundred Fu Han troops in iron armor swarmed in, the screams continued to resound in the Tuas Hall.

Poor Guanyin Bodhisattva, if there were really gods, Buddhas and immortals in this world, they would definitely have closed their eyes before the Fu Han army launched a second attack. Because she should know that the order given by the battalion officer is 'no one to stay'!

In the Duke's Mansion by the Antai Bridge on Nanmen Street, Huang Shijian was wearing a linen dress, and all the people in the palace were sent away, and the rest were not as many as one-third of the maids and servants in the Duke's Mansion in the past. Now they were all dressed in sackcloth, and they followed their masters, kneeling in the open space at the gate.

There is no hope for Fuzhou City to be saved.

From Mingfu's change of generals, Huang Shijian knew that everything was over, it was all over.

Is he, Huang Shijian, just one person? Never!

He represents the Han people in the entire Qing army in Fujian.

Ming Fu can't trust Huang Shijian, and Huang Shijian, who has the title of first-class duke of Haicheng, is not worthy of his new appointment, so can he still trust the commanders and generals of the green battalion below?

Anything that is not good at military strategy, and the old teacher is useless, it is all nonsense.

Huang Shijian decided that Ming Fu removed himself and replaced him with Fu Liang, a coward, which was purely a Han people, it was as simple as that.

And even Huang Shijian thinks so, what should the other officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion in Fuzhou think? Mingfu couldn't think of this, he was stupid, and when he thought of this, he insisted on doing it, he was just looking for death.

Chen Jie originally said that he was going to enter Fuzhou City, but he didn't come. Wu Xiongguang was originally stationed at the mouth of Dazhangxi River, but he went to Fuqing and defected to Chen Jie.

When the Mai in front of him was attacked by the Fu Han army in Guantou Town, Huang Shijian had already ordered someone to cut it. The two children of the Huang family who are still hidden, all the preparations are for today.

He knew that the punishment of the 'traitors' by the Fu Han Army was very severe, and his ancestor Huang Wu would definitely not be able to do well. At the beginning, Huang Wu raised his troops and surrendered, and handed over Haicheng, an important stronghold of Zheng's army, to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where Zheng Chenggong had invested a lot of manpower and material resources to run a strong fortress over the years, Huang Wu's move not only caused Zheng to lose millions of ordnance and food, but also made Zheng Chenggong lose an important stronghold to defend Xiamen. Moreover, Huang Wu also offered a sea ban policy to deal with Zheng Chenggong, and with the style of the Han army, he would definitely not spare the Huang family. The ancestral hall of the Huang family's hometown, the ancestral hall of the Huang clan in Xiangxiaoling, was built by Emperor Shunzhi with gold, and all the tiles that have been destroyed by the Tiandihui rebels are gone. Huang Wu's rank was thrown into the pit, and the methods were extremely vicious.

If there was a trace of other way out, Huang Shijian would not have surrendered to the Han army, but he didn't.

Now he no longer cares about dignity and ancestors, as long as the whole family can save a life, it is the greatest blessing. Huang Shijian's greatest joy now is that his family has not been carried the flag, Huang Wu has made many meritorious achievements after defecting to the Manchu Dynasty, and the prince of Jin is Taibao, but as long as he is not carried the flag, he is still a Han. The tricks of the Fu Han army against the banner people could not be used on the heads of the Huang family.

Shi Meng pursed his lips disdainfully after receiving the news from the troops, "Lock up the Huang family's old and young and servants, and seal up the property." ”

"The troops continue to attack and take down the city."

From the south gate into Fuzhou City, after crossing the Antai Bridge is the South Gate Street, the east of the south end of the South Gate Street is the southwest corner of the city of Fuzhou - the southeast corner of the city corresponds to the water department street, and the west is the residence of the Huang family.

"Tell Your Highness about this." Huang Shijian is a first-class duke of the Tartars, and his surrender is enough to slap the face of the Manchu Qing Tartars, and it can cause a great impact. Shi Meng didn't know that after Huang Shijian's surrender, the Tartars in Beijing would still be trustworthy but not the Han people. On the city wall of the south gate, Shi Meng quietly looked at the direction of Fuzhou Mancheng.

This battle was fought so easily, and the ease was completely unexpected. The Qing army could be said to have fled in despair, and if they could not escape, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered. The Guards Brigade crossed the river to attack the South City Gate, but it almost went down without a fight. The Qing army guarding the south gate saw the Guards Brigade crossing the river and began to flee, only a few two or three hundred banner soldiers resisted desperately, and then they were almost killed, and those who surrendered were also ordered by Shi Meng to solve them on the spot.

Shi Meng looked at the water department, where only the flag soldiers had put up serious resistance, and they were easily conquered by the first division.

"Your Highness, the city is broken. The 1st Division had already broken Mancheng from the east and was in the process of capturing the Right Capital. ”

At three o'clock, it was still a quarter of an hour, and the war report came that the city of Fuzhou had been broken. Chen Ming's eyebrows raised, but he was no longer stunned, "This battle is really smooth." "Tonight's battle can only be described in four words - overwhelming; Tonight's Qing army can also be described in four words - vulnerable! (To be continued.) )
