Chapter 383: Spy should be everywhere
The Battle of Fuzhou got to the point. Chen Ming www.biquge.info, who did not let the sailor troops directly enter Langqiyu to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army's sailors, made him have great expectations for the Qing army's sailors in Langqiyu. He put his first goal on Changle.
Changle, a county with a very festive name, is said to be named after the meaning of "Chang'an Jiule" in the Book of Songs. It is located on the south bank of the Minjiang River estuary, in the middle of the coastline of the Yangtze River estuary and the Pearl River estuary, and faces Taiwan Island across the sea. If the Fu Han army landed from here and advanced west along the Min River, it would be like completely cutting off the retreat of the Qing army in Fuzhou.
Moreover, the dark camp has a chess piece buried in Changle, and now it is time for this chess piece to play its role.
Ever since the news came out that the main force of the Qing army was encircled in Changzhou by the Fu Han Army in World War I, a number of forts and beacon towers were built along the coast of Fujian in a hurry, no matter what the quality and performance of the cannons on the forts were, no matter how limited their defense was, the forts and beacon towers were always a trouble for the landing of the land troops of the Fu Han Army.
Located in the northeast corner of Changle County, the plum blossom is the core fortress of Changle coastal defense. Meihua is different from other coastal villages and towns, it is a famous ancient town and famous port in history, a military fortress in Fujian and central China, and has always been the throat of Fuzhou, the provincial capital, and the coastal defense of the mouth of the Minjiang River.
In the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387 in the Western calendar), the ancient city wall of Meihua was built to resist the Japanese invasion, and the ancient city wall has been preserved basically intact.
The Qing army stationed thousands of soldiers here. Originally, it was just a patrol department, but now there are more than a thousand soldiers. The officers at the head were all banner men, and together with the beacon towers and forts along the line, they formed a barrier for the eastern coastal defense of Changle.
It's just that in this era, the long coastline is too difficult to guard against, especially the Fu Han army does not intend to destroy the traces at all, anyway, if the action goes well, Ming is not only Meihua City, but Changle County is also counted in it, and all of them belong to the Fu Han army, so it doesn't matter how to cover it up. The scout troops of the Fu Han army took the flat-bottomed sampan boats to the shore in batches in the middle of the night, and connected with the secret camp that had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and then left immediately after the troops were assembled, not at all to cover the footprints and boats left on the beach, and the Qing army of the plum blossom was still unaware at this moment.
The night is vast, and I can't see my fingers. The dark sky was dotted with stars, but there was no shadow of the moon.
On the official road leading to the plum blossom station, you can see a bright sentry post in the distance. There are several bonfires dyed on the checkpoint, a few torches are lit, and the fire shines on a group of red-faced villagers, and a middle-aged man dressed up in the middle, looking at the location of Plum Blossom City not far away, his high mood is full of murderous energy.
"Big brother!"
"Uncle."
The Min people, especially the Min people in the coastal areas, are the most important clans. The people who can pull out the group practice here are either really rich or absolutely big. The middle-aged man was clearly the latter.
This person's prestige is still quite high, and with a wave of his hand, his voice is silent.
"Everyone listens, the Wu family has other brothers with other surnames, whether they will eat bran and drink thin or fragrant and spicy in the future, it will all depend on tonight's deal." The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with hideousness, the Manchu ship was about to sink, who the hell wanted to drown with them, not to mention that it was his benefactor who said that he was in agreement. The middle-aged man's 'anti' is very decisive. "The people present are either the children of my Wu family, or the most trusted brother of my Wu Yong, everyone puts their lives in the hands of me Wu Yong, and I will lead everyone to open a rich road today!" took the credit of Plum Blossom City himself, how could he get an official position.
Everyone around them didn't say anything, but everyone's eyes were fiery and hot. Just like Wu Yong said, the people present are all people he can trust, all people who have put their lives in his hands, and those who can't be trusted are either not at the outpost, or they have become corpses.
In this outpost, not only was the atmosphere blazing, but at the same time, there was also a faint smell of blood. In the darkness of the outpost, where the light of the fire does not reach, there are several corpses still bleeding.
"Listen, everyone, there are our people in Plum City, and it is easy for us to enter the city. The morale of the Qing soldiers is low, as long as we rush in, shout loudly, 'The Fu Han army has been killed', and then kill the leading Tartars, we can take the city gate." Then take advantage of the chaos to coerce Ding Yong, and it is not impossible to take down the entire Plum Blossom City. "Thousands of Qing soldiers were stationed at the Plum Blossom Station, and two or three hundred people were assigned to guard the four roads, and there were seven or eight hundred in the city. And Wu Yong only has one hundred and ten people, but he has captured the city garrisoned by seven or eight hundred Qing troops, should he be said to be bold, or should he say that the Qing army is really too bad?
Compared with only capturing one city gate, of course, it is the credit of the entire Plum Blossom City that is greater, "Even if we can't take the entire city, as long as we hold the city gate, two or three moments, and wait until the people and horses of the Fu Han army are killed, this great achievement will be established." "Wu Yong is only a pity that he was not assigned to the county seat, otherwise this credit would be even greater, and such a great achievement can only be cheaper for others.
For the sake of safety, the scouts who landed in small boats at night were divided into two, one landed at the mouth of the small river ten miles south of the plum blossom station; The other landed on Langtou Mountain, which was only five or six miles away from Meihuasuo, but that was already into the Minjiang River. He won't take the initiative to contact Wu Yong, just to see if there is any change in Plum Blossom City.
Wu Yong swept his eyes and looked at the people around him, "Everyone, the troubled times in the world have come again." There are still a few years to kill in the Hanhu dispute, who dares to say that there is no one among you and me who is a marquis and a general? If you want to be rich and prosperous, you must have the courage to fight and fight. Tonight, they all follow Lao Tzu to kill the Tartars! "Wu Yongzi is old, and he is not ready to enter the Han army, but the younger generation of the Wu family's children must be in the Jin army! In troubled times, martial artists are the easiest to get ahead.
Needless to say, the heat in everyone's eyes can't be faked. The general trend of the Fu Han army has been achieved, and the battle to the south is like a bamboo. And the court in the north seems to have forgotten the south, it has been half a year, and it has not made up a single army to cross the Yangtze River. I don't know how many loyal Manchu Qing officials were 'heartbroken' by such 'desperation', and too many people were eager to jump off this sinking ship.
Wu Yong's face was full of murderous aura.
-- This is man, who is greedy for life and death, and greedy for wealth and wealth, and has never been less. The Fu Han army that was pressed by the soldiers was the protagonist of the battle of Fuzhou, Daqingguo was already about to finish [Southern Kingdom], Wu Yong's own benefactor, Lord Chen of Changle Zhi County, and the dignified Jinshi, were all going to rebel!
He and others are trying to be rich, and what Lord Chen wants is also wealth. There were countless Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, and there were only a few Jinshi in the Chen and Han courts, let alone local Fujian. Only tonight, in this transaction, Lord Chen will be able to sit in the prefect when he turns around! It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the Wu family can also take the opportunity to change the lintel.
At present, the hidden camp activities in the Manchu-controlled area of Fujian are more rampant, and even if the Manchu officials who received their letters do not agree, there are very few 'hot hands and hoes', just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty refused to kill Wang Jingwei, and they were all ready to leave a way back for themselves.
Therefore this spy should be everywhere.
It's just that a large number of Qing troops are stationed in Changle, and Li is only a small county, so he has long been on the sidelines. The military and government have all been taken over by the Qing army, otherwise the Changle of the Fu Han army would not have to spend guns and guns, and the knife would be bloody.
The plum blossom city in front is only more than two miles away from the outpost, and most of the people are sleeping in the middle of the night, and there are very few people on duty, and there are more internal responses. Wu Yong is full of confidence in the sneak attack on the city gate!
"Be careful, don't make any big noise!" While sneaking, Wu Yong said to the hundred and ten people behind him.
The darkness of the night gave them excellent cover, and it was difficult for the night guards at the city gate to find that someone was slowly approaching them, even if their eyes were wide open. After all, there are checkpoints on all sides of Plum Blossom City, and who would have thought that the 'anti' people themselves would be the leaders of the guard posts? Besides, the night watchmen mainly pay attention to the sea, and no one expected danger to attack from behind.
Quietly touched the side of Plum Blossom City, and the people who were already waiting there moved the fence below, and then quietly opened the city gate.
"Rush in, kill Bariha, and defend this gate first." Then talk about taking advantage of the chaos to seize the whole city, the braid on the back of Wu Yong's head has been cut off, "The people I met along the way shouted that the Fu Han army had been killed, surrender and avoid death, and see which rabbit cub dared to stretch out his hand." ”
Wu Yong pulled out the sidecar on his waist violently, yelled "Kill with me", and rushed in first.
The guard of Plum Blossom City is a banner man, and several of his capable officers are also banner men. It's a pity that he can't turn all his soldiers into bannermen. More than half of the thousands of soldiers are brave, and once such a team is infiltrated, it will become a sieve. It's all about letting the thief guard the door against robbers.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"The Fuhan army is killed, but surrender and don't kill."
Just these 100 people rushed straight into the barracks behind the city gate, and in just an instant, the city gate where more than 100 Ding Yong was stationed was thrown into chaos.
"It's not good, it's an enemy attack!" Someone shouted.
"Enemy attack!" Shouts rang out from the barracks.
"Someone sneaked up!" More Ding Yong was awakened and found that it was not good. It's just that before a few of these Ding Yong people could hold their weapons, they rushed in at the door, with knives and guns on their necks, and they could only be captured one by one.
There were more than 100 soldiers at the entire city gate, and only a few people ran and shouted in panic, and the rest were taken.
If one-third of these people, no, even one-tenth of them were loyal to the Manchu Dynasty, they could cause Wu Yong a lot of trouble. But it is obvious that among the more than 100 people, even one-tenth of them are willing to work for Da Qingguo.
The whole Plum Blossom City became a pot of porridge, and the loud 'Fu Han army has come in' when the city gate is loud, I don't know how many officers and soldiers were scared to the point of urine, and after Baliha, who was sleeping beautifully in the single room, was awakened, Wu Yong had already rushed to him with someone before he could figure out what was going on.
Baliha is a Mongolian, but it is not a Mongolian who must be brave, he lives in Fuzhou when he is a child, and now he is only 30 years old, and he is full of fat intestines, and it is difficult for him to get on and off the horse alone. Seeing the blade slashing, except for a scream and rolling to dodge, he didn't even have the ability to make a move with Wu Yong, who had been practicing martial arts all year round.
Wu Yong only turned the blade and changed it to a chip, and the blood flashed, and a human skull rolled to the ground, and the headless corpse of Bariha also fell to the ground......
The development of the situation was smoother than Chen Ming expected, and Meihua City and Changle County all fell into the hands of the Fu Han army overnight. This is the benefit of internal response. Look at the way of the Han Army, how much of a role has the hidden camp played? Especially after they have become a big deal.
The next day, just after dawn, the large army of the Fuhan Army, which had not rested all night, made persistent efforts and rushed towards the mouth of Dazhang Creek.
Dazhang River is the largest tributary of the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, originating from Daiyun Mountain in Dehua, Yongchun Prefecture.
If the Qing army in Fuzhou wanted to retreat by land, unless they were willing to abandon their homes and businesses, throw away all their money, food, baggage, and munitions, and flee alone, they could only take the Dazhangxi waterway to Yongfu. The Fu Han army sealed this place, to a certain extent, it cut off the back road of Fuzhou.
The Qing army in the south has completely fallen into a desperate situation, and the Qing army in Fujian is even more in a desperate situation. Under such circumstances, Chen Ming didn't believe that they could still have the courage to fight back, once the back road was cut off, these people thought more about surrendering.
Chen Jie of Putian has arrived in Fuqing with the main force, Fuqing is not far from Changle, but does he really dare to lead his troops to Fuzhou?
Chen Jie is a very good talent, in the past year or two, he has fought against the Tiandihui rebels in Fujian, and he has won more and lost less, but his position is too bad.
The strength in his hands is also too bad.
Even if all the men and horses of Xinghua Mansion were transferred to Fuqing, Chen Jie's available troops would be seven or eight thousand. What can such a person do?
The general trend is already here in the Fu Han army. The Qing army in Fuzhou is really already a fish swimming at the bottom of the kettle, a turtle in the urn.
Chen Han has not yet been able to look north, and the southwest and the entire north are still in the hands of the Manchus. Although Hanzhong cut off the connection between central Sichuan and Shaanxi, Sichuan can also connect with Beijing through Qinghai.
The Tibetans of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, compared with the toast alone, are indeed quite strong. But Altai [Sichuan Governor] summarized all the Tusi in Sichuan, and joined forces to make a total of Jinchuan. It is not to send troops to attack the large and small Jinchuan with dangerous terrain, but just to prevent the local soldiers of the large and small Jinchuan from fighting, and the effect is immediate. The big and small Jinchuan will immediately be unable to open up its territory and expand its territory.
It's just that as the news of the strength of the Fu Han army continues to spread to Shuzhong, there are already signs of chaos in the Han land of Sichuan. Altai went to Qinghai to report to Beijing, and the existing soldiers and horses in Sichuan could no longer move, and it was already the limit to cut out some of them and use them in Hanzhong. Then he went to Guizhou to attack Hunan, afraid that once there was chaos in Sichuan, he would not even have troops to counter the rebellion.
As a result, although the battle situation in Hunan fluctuated, there was no Qing army that had ever conquered Fucheng. In this way, the situation in Hunan can still be called a 'middle peace'. In this way, it seems that the Fu Han army is even stronger. In Hunan, which is the most tricky, the Qing army has not been able to occupy any big advantage with such an advantage, and the sky in the south can no longer be turned over.
Finally, Beijing City has been 'turning a blind eye' in the past few months, after Zhejiang was lost, the catastrophe came, and the morale of the Qing army in Fujian was directly overwhelming. There are still 350,000 people in the Qing army in Fujian, but the morale has been low to the end, and when they see the banner of the Fu Han army, the actions of many soldiers are completely comparable to the rotten green battalion that saw the battle flag of the Taiping army in the original time and space: those who fled when they saw the thieves were brave, those who fled from the wind were brave, and those who misheard the news and fled were brave.
The Fu Han army went south to Fujian, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
"Sure enough, this battle is getting better and better." The greater your own advantage, the lower the morale of the enemy. The easier it is to fight.
Chen Ming felt that after he solved the Qing army in Fujian, he would transfer to Taiwan and attack Guangdong by sea, which should be the same momentum. The Second Garrison Division had also been in Nanjing City for so long, and seeing that the First Division of the Jiangsu Army led by Duan Xiulin was about to become an army, Chen Ming felt that it was time to let the Second Garrison Division go to Jiangxi and cooperate with Miao Fuwei to attack Jiangxi.
Chen Ming also received a letter in his sleeve, which was just passed by Lu Shan, and his father's room received two young women, so not counting his wife, there were six. A man is rich and noble, this woman is really difficult to control, one of the six concubines is already pregnant, Chen Hui's age is not too old, it seems that the child can continue to be born, but it can not only add a little brother or sister to Chen Ming......
