"Xiangshan County?"

Song Xianggong was stunned there, if he remembered correctly, this Xiangshan County is the upper county of Guangzhou Prefecture, which has been occupied by the Qing army, how could Zhou Shixiang actually want to go to this place? With the current strength of the Taiping Battalion, isn't it a fool's dream to want to seize Xiangshan from the Qing army?

When he was confused, Zhou Shixiang had already gotten up and fetched a map, but it was a map of Guangdong that took him two days to draw.

For this map of Guangdong, Zhou Shixiang really racked his brains in the past two days, trying to recall the map of China in later generations, and asked Lin Wanfu and others, so he reluctantly drew the map, although the details in it must be wrong, but the general framework should be correct. At the very least, with this map, the direction of the Taiping camp in the future will not be wrong.

In ancient times, the map is a militaristic heavy weapon-like existence, ordinary people can not see it at all, coupled with inconvenient transportation, most people may not go out of the place hundreds of miles away from home in their lives, and they do not know where is the strategic place, where is the place that must be taken, so once the people rebel, without the help of maps and people of insight, they are often only limited to a place to toss, can not quickly occupy a strategic place, so that the follow-up can not develop, in this case, the rebel army is naturally passive in the face of the official army, It is very easy to exterminate the officers and soldiers who have a map in hand.

Zhou Shixiang did not have a ready-made map of Guangdong, nor did he have GPRS satellite positioning, so it was too dangerous to rely solely on guides to determine the route of the march, and the Taiping camp was now in urgent need of a strategic plan, so he drew this map of Guangdong on his own, so that he would not become blind with dark eyes.

In the process of drawing this map of Guangdong Province, which could only be regarded as a framework, Zhou Shixiang made up his mind to organize the staff headquarters of the Taiping Camp when the conditions were right, so that more professional personnel could draw more and more professional maps for the Taiping Camp. If even a village or town could be carefully marked on a map, a small river on a road, a well, and even the height of a hill could be measured, the map would never be worth less than a hundred thousand troops.

It's a pity that there are not even many literate people in the current Taiping Battalion, and it is a dream to have professional map-drawing talents, and Zhou Shixiang can't even build a shelf for the staff department. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and he has no choice but to do his best to plan for the Taiping Camp.

"What is this?"

Song Xianggong looked at this map drawn with charcoal very strangely, and after carefully looking at the place names on it, he suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "Isn't this the map of Guangdong Province?" ”

The map is the name of the map of the ancients, which is naturally known by Zhou Shixiang, the owner of the original body, Xiucai, who is famous, he nodded and said: "This is indeed the map of Guangdong Province, sir, please see, the location of this black circle is Xiangshan County." ”

Zhou Shixiang said and pointed to a black circle specially marked, if this black circle is drawn on the map of later generations, it is Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Shunde and other places in Guangdong, the area is very large, there are two or three cities in the area, but this will belong to a county in Xiangshan.

Song Xianggong has been a county magistrate, and the map can naturally be understood, his eyes are firmly fixed on the black circle, he looks very carefully, half loudly, and wonders: "Why do thousands of households want to use Xiangshan as my Taiping camp to live in?" ”

"Because of this place."

Zhou Shixiang's fingers moved to a solid black dot next to the black circle, and spat out a place name: "Macau." ”

"Macau?"

Song Xianggong Dingqing looked at it, this solid black dot is close to the black circle, if you look at it roughly, you only think that this black dot is in the black circle, and if you look carefully, you can understand that the black circle is a black circle, and the black dot is a black spot.

"Macau?"

Song Xianggong muttered a few words, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Isn't this the origin of the Hongyi cannon?" ”

Hongyi cannon?

Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and then the memory of the owner of the body made him wake up, it turned out that this Hongyi cannon refers to the artillery purchased by the Ming Dynasty from the Portuguese in Macao, and the Qing court because Hongyi has the intention of belittling them, so the Hongyi cannon captured by the general from the Ming army was changed to a general cannon.

"As Mr. said, Bai Yi, where Macao lives, is good at making firearms, and I bought a lot of Hongyi cannons from Bai Yi during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years."

Listening to what Zhou Shixiang said, Song Xianggong couldn't help but say: "Could it be that the reason why Qianhu wants to go to Xiangshan is to buy Hongyi cannons from those Bai Yi?" ”

Zhou Shixiang shook his head: "How can we have so much silver to buy cannons from Bai Yi, but I think the reason for seizing Xiangshan is indeed related to Macao, but we are not buying, but we have to find a way to build it, not only to build cannons, but also to build our firecrackers." ”

"Made?"

Song Xianggong was stunned again, he never thought that the Taiping Battalion could make its own cannons, this battalion couldn't even shoot all the weapons, but Zhou Shixiang wanted to make cannons, this, this, this really made him unbelievable, and looked at Zhou Shixiang in surprise.

"It's better to buy than to build, and if you can't make it, what's the use of buying more?"

Zhou Shixiang didn't think that Song Xianggong was thinking that there would be no chance to make artillery under the conditions of the Taiping camp, but he only thought that the other party thought that buying was faster than building, and that he could buy it directly from Bai Yi, so why bother making it himself.

Song Xianggong saw that Zhou Shixiang misunderstood what he meant, and couldn't help complaining: "It's naturally good to make cannons and guns, but the question is what do we use to make them?" And how to make it? We don't even have all the weapons at the moment, and we cannons and guns, so it's too long-term, right? It is inconvenient for him to say that Zhou Shixiang is an idiot talking about dreams, so he can only euphemistically remind that this matter is not realistic.

"Let's come step by step, let's go to Xiangshan first, and then find a way to contact Bai Yi, first make up some silver to buy some with them, and then find a way to learn their skills to make our cannons, guns, as for silver, the living will not be suffocated by urine, as long as we have the heart, things can be done." Didn't any of us think that we could occupy Luoding, and no one thought that we could defeat the Deqing Green Camp? But the result? What we didn't expect has come true! ”

In fact, Zhou Shixiang could not answer Song Xianggong's questions, because he did not know how these problems should be solved at that time, but since he had made up his mind to go to Macao, he must resolve Song Xianggong's doubts with an optimistic attitude and win the support of the other party.

Between "take one step at a time" and "look at one step at a time", Zhou Shixiang obviously chose the former, no matter what he faces in front of him, no matter how many difficulties there are ahead, he doesn't have to be afraid, he doesn't have to care, as long as the goal is set, he will go all out. If a person hangs to the sky, it's a big deal to die again, if he can't die, he will definitely be full of dogs and good-looking!

Zhou Shixiang's optimism was infected by Song Xianggong, thinking that things that he had never dared to think of before were being realized one by one, Song Xianggong could not help but admire Zhou Shixiang's judgment and decision was very correct, or it was not an exaggeration to say that he was far-sighted. It's just that this time he was not easily taken into the ditch by Zhou Shixiang, but said firmly: "Xiangshan can't go!" ”

"Why can't you go?"

Zhou Shixiang stayed there, not understanding why Song Xianggong was so decisive and resolute, he was not like this before.

Song Xianggong stretched out his hand and pointed to the three prominent big characters above the black circle drawn by Zhou Shixiang - "Guangzhou Mansion", and then said very worriedly: "Xiangshan is too close to Guangzhou, it can be said that it is right under the nose of Guangzhou, if we occupy there, the Qing army in Guangzhou will not have to travel long distances to attack us, and then, with our strength, can we stop them?" If we can't beat it, what's the point of going there, and where should we go then? If you are not careful, this Xiangshan is our place of death. ”

"If you can't resist, you will outwit, and if you can't outwit, we will run." Zhou Shixiang didn't have Song Xianggong's worries at all, he didn't seem to be afraid of the Qing army in Guangzhou at all, and raised his eyebrows there and said: "I have a sixteen-character policy for the enemy, sir, it sounds feasible?" ”

"Which sixteen words?" Song Xianggong's eyebrows were also raised.

Zhou Shixiang said loudly: "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase!" ”

“”

Hearing these sixteen words, Song Xianggong's eyes lit up, and Zhou Shixiang added another sentence, "If the enemy comes from several ways, I will go all the way." Xiangshan territory is not a plain, there are many mountains and tombs, and by the sea, if you really can't beat the Qing army, we will hide and wait for the opportunity, this Qing army is also a person, we can't bite us to death, and when he relaxes, we will come out to give him a hard blow, there are sixteen words against the enemy's policy, this Xiangshan we will definitely be able to stand still! ”

"What kind of tactics are these sixteen characters?"

"Guerrilla warfare!"

"Guerrilla warfare?" Song Xianggong groaned slightly, nodded and said: "It's feasible, but even if we can withstand the attack of the Qing army, Luoding is thousands of miles away from Xiangshan, and there are Qing troops everywhere along the way, how can we get there?" You can't put on your wings and fly over, can you? ”

If you want to go to Xiangshan, there is only a land route in Guangzhou, if you don't take the land route, you can only go to the sea, but there is no sailor in Taipingying. If you take the land route, Guangzhou is a big nail on the road, and if you don't pull out this nail, it is impossible for tens of thousands of people in Taipingying to reach Xiangshan in the south of Guangzhou with a swagger. However, Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops couldn't take the small county town of Xinhui, an outpost in Guangzhou, and the thousands of soldiers in the Taiping Camp could defeat it, and then run to Xiangshan from under the noses of the Qing army in Guangzhou?

Song Xianggong looked at Zhou Shixiang with a solemn face, although he believed in the other party and recognized the other party's ability, but it was related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Taiping Camp and his own life, and he couldn't be cautious. If Zhou Shixiang could not give a feasible way to reach Xiangshan, he would never agree to enter Xiangshan.

"We can't fly, but we can blow it up."
