Chapter 154 Brother Ma knows my heart
Luo Zhang was amused by the Qing army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, he was not interested in further development, Yang Wangye gave him the task of just recovering Macao, the Ming army followed the Qing army all the way to the foot of Wugui Mountain, and the panicked Qing army was driven into Wugui Mountain and stopped advancing, and then retreated directly, leaving one battalion to guard the front cottage, another battalion to guard Macao, and left them four armed merchant ships that had just been captured, so that a perfect defense system of Macao could basically be formed.
Anyway, the Qing army didn't have the courage to attack again.
In this way, basically the south of Wugui Mountain, that is, the two places of modern Zhuhai and Macao, were all owned by the Ming army.
In fact, it was true later, after knowing that the Ming army did not come to attack Guangzhou, Shi Lin didn't want to make trouble for himself, the two sides directly took Wugui Mountain as the boundary, and theoretically he didn't even lose a county seat, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
And Macao is not of great strategic significance to Yang Feng, he will not march from Macao if he really fights Guangzhou, and how exciting it is to go directly to the Humen Fort! For him, Macao only provided a supply depot and a smuggling base for the Ming merchant ships.
Kang Mazi strictly forbade the people of all parts of the country to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and if they did not smuggle, how could they sell goods to the areas controlled by the Qing army?
Of course, it can't be said to be smuggling, in fact, the partners of those Ming merchants, the vast majority of them are local officials of the Qing Dynasty around the country, and even the vast majority of the people who receive goods at sea are coastal sailor warships, this Qing Dynasty is like this, who knows how many days it can be, everyone is just making do with it, there is no need to be so clear, after all, no one will get along with money. For example, now in Jiangxi, even the Longyuan banknotes are in circulation in all parts of southern Zhejiang, and the largest smuggler in Jiangxi is actually the new governor of Jiangxi, Zhao Hongcan.
"It's just that the Dutch have suffered such a big loss, I'm afraid they will have to retaliate against us, after all, they control Malacca, and our ship to Golden State will have to pass through them later, if they intercept our ship, it will inevitably cause trouble."
In the General Staff of the Ming Army, Han Wen said with some concern.
"If they dare, the king will give them a flat with Batavia."
Yang Feng said.
He really doesn't care about this problem, the Dutch dare to sneer him, he really bombards all the way, he mainly doesn't have so much energy now, and he also wants to make money from Europe, after all, these ghosts have scavenged a lot of gold and silver from the Americas, otherwise he would have already attacked Southeast Asia, but if the Dutch really dared to continue to provoke him, he wouldn't mind going to bombard Batavia, if it wasn't for occupation, just sabotage, his Nanyang fleet could successfully play the role of the king of destruction in Southeast Asia.
"What's the matter?"
At this time, Jiang Kui, the commander of the Jinyi Wei Intelligence Division, walked in with a solemn expression, and Yang Feng immediately asked.
"Lord, the spies we sent to Xi'an are back, according to his report, a large number of Mongolian cavalry is entering Shaanxi, the number is extremely large, at least 100,000, and it is not Inner Mongolia, it is all foreign Mongolia, a large part of which is still from the Dzungar Department, and even led by the Dzungar Khan Tsewang Alabutan himself, in addition, Kang Mazi has officially decreed that Ningxia Town is promoted to a province, and all the places within the Yellow River that originally belonged to Gansu are under control, and the original Gansu provincial capital has been moved from Lanzhou to Wuwei."
After Jiang Kui finished saluting, he handed a thick stack of documents to Yang Feng and said.
"What does that mean?"
Han Wen was stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean? This means that Gansu will not be used in the future, and it will be distributed to those Mongolian Khans themselves, and when it is clear when Kang Mazi will withdraw all the officials there, as for this Ningxia Province, if I guess correctly, this is a gift for another friend of his. What a big deal, in the future, he and the Mongols will take the Great Wall and the Yellow River as the boundary, and there will be a Ningxia as a quarantine area in between, and he will be the emperor of our side and Manchuria, and all the other places will be given to his good brothers.
Of course, his good brothers have to fight us.
It's pure days! ”
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
But this is also understandable, if Kang Mazi didn't do this, there would be no days to live, at least then he could still have a little hope, after all, the Qing army in Kang Mazi's hands now, there is no hope of fighting against the Ming army, let alone a counteroffensive to recapture Beijing, even if there is no hope for self-preservation, it is just that it is just relying on the distance to survive there.
"We're going to be in trouble."
Han Wen gasped and said.
This also means that the counteroffensive of the Qing army is imminent, and this time the counteroffensive will be extremely fierce, those Mongolian cavalry and huimin are not the green battalion of Kang Mazi and those eight banners that have been pampered for a long time, when Kang Mazi was more than 100,000 troops against the latter 30,000, it was just to let Geerdan run, if it wasn't for the stab in the back of Tsewang Alabutan, maybe it hasn't been tossed yet!
"Trouble?"
Yang Feng sneered and said: "I like this kind of trouble, these guys are hiding in their rat holes, and this king is still in trouble to clean them up, and now Kang Mazi is pulling them all out to facilitate this king's hand, Brother Ma knows my heart, it seems that this king's green dragon knife is going to see blood again!" ”
As soon as he thought of killing those Tartars like chopping melons and vegetables, that long-lost Ji appeared again, and he didn't know that at this time, his troubles had already begun.
"Captain, try this!"
In the far north, on the official road leading to Yi County south of Zhuozhou, Wang Zhong, a soldier of the Fifth Infantry Brigade of the Ming Army, smiled and threw a sweet potato picked up from the side of the road to the captain of the same carriage with him.
They were riding in a spring-loaded four-wheeled carriage loaded with food for the front and ammunition and the like, drawn by two horses, and behind their carriage, on the newly built sandy official road, a dozen or so same carriages were leisurely moving forward. This is a subordinate transport team of the Fifth Brigade of the Ming Army, and the headquarters of the Fifth Brigade is in Yi County, but their supplies are transported to Dagukou by sea, and then transferred to the canal at Dagukou to be transported to Beijing, and then transported to Yi County by official road from Beijing.
This is the road they have walked many times.
"Discipline, pay attention to discipline!"
The captain took the sweet potato and said seriously.
"Don't take it as an example!"
Wang Zhong said with a smile.
In fact, he is just idle, the Ming army has a sufficient supply of materials, and there is no need to loot the common people at all, as for the discipline in this regard......
It's just a legend that you don't take a stitch from the masses these days.
The captain didn't care, he pulled out his saber casually, and half-lay on the wooden box behind him and peeled the sweet potato skin, but at this moment, the veteran who had fought for many years moved his ears, and before Wang Zhong could react, he suddenly grabbed his arm and rolled down the carriage at a very fast speed, almost at the same time, a dense swishing sound flew by, and then more than a dozen feather arrows continued to pierce their carriage like hailstones, and the horses pulling the carriage in front of them were hit by four or five at once, and galloped with a mournful roar.
"Enemy attack!"
The captain yelled.
He then cut the ropes from the carriage and let the wounded two horses run away on their own.
At the same time, the back carriages were also hit by arrows, and several Ming soldiers were even shot, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade were also battle-hardened, and immediately reacted as quickly as possible and rolled off the carriage one by one, even those who were hit by arrows, because they were protected by cuirasses, were also slightly injured, and they also quickly rolled off the horse, and then cut off the ropes of the cart one by one, and raised their rifles to aim at the direction of the feather arrows with the carriage as the backing.
But the next moment the captain gasped.
"Tartar cavalry, fast rockets!"
He shouted hurriedly.
In the woods thirty zhang away in front of them, hundreds of cavalrymen brandished scimitars suddenly poured out, and they were not the Green Battalion cavalry, nor the Eight Banners, but all Mongolian cavalry, but they seemed to be a little different from the Mongolian cavalry they were familiar with.
An officer pulled out a small iron tube from the carriage as fast as he could, and then quickly lit the fuse, and an alarm rocket suddenly flew out, exploding an extremely eye-catching cloud of red smoke in the air, and at the same time, more than 40 Ming soldiers below had also pulled the trigger, and in the flames sprayed from the muzzle, the bullet whistled out, and instantly hit the cavalry on the opposite side, and then the cavalry that was already almost ten zhang away fell into a piece.
But by this time the Ming army had no time to reload.
"Get on the bayonet!"
The captain shouted.
The soldiers quickly drew their bayonets and put them on.
"Run!"
The captain yelled at Wang Zhong again.
Wang Zhong hurriedly ran back at full speed.
At the same time, the captain slashed a box on the car, and then took out the latest lighter, at this time the nearest Tartar cavalry had already arrived on the opposite side, he looked at the raised scimitar with a cruel smile, and viciously pestled the flame onto the cart used in the cart of the cart, almost at the moment when the scimitar fell, even the dozens of Tartar cavalry who rushed to the front of the convoy with the carriage were swallowed up by the flames of the explosion of thousands of pounds of gunpowder.
Even Wang Zhong was pushed down by the wave of explosion.
The terrifying loud noise caused the Mongolian war horses, which had never heard such a sound before, to immediately neighing in horror and jumping around.
"Reload!"
The vice-captain roared indignantly.
Enraged by the sacrifice of the captain, the Ming soldiers reloaded with extreme speed and took advantage of the confusion of the Tartar cavalry to aim at the target and open fire.
Those Tartar cavalry tried to control their horses in panic, but unfortunately the frightened horses did not listen to them at all, and the loud sound of the earth cracking that day even shook many horses to death along with the cavalry on horseback, how could these war horses who had never suffered such a thing stand it, they fled in confusion with a desperate scream, and then the cavalry on their backs continued to fall one after another in the sound of Ming shooting.
And at this time, a large number of Ming cavalry appeared in the distance. (To be continued.) )
