As soon as the battle ended, Zhang Dabao immediately seized the time to organize personnel to collect and interrogate the prisoners.

A small boat hooked Lu Cuijin onto the Haijing 2001 ship.

Climbing onto the Ming army warship and standing firmly on the deck, Lu Cuijin was still a little frightened.

Just now, I was running for my life, but I didn't expect the Ming army's sailors to be so powerful, and in a blink of an eye, they destroyed the Qing army's ship.

Two Ming sailors armed with muskets were majestically guarding the side of the ship, some Ming sailors were lying on the deck scrubbing hard, the sundries on the deck were also sorted out in an orderly manner, a black cannon had been polished to shine, and the shells were neatly built into a tower.

"As soon as I won the battle, I started to get busy non-stop!"

Lu Cuijin couldn't help but feel ashamed, looking at the Ming Sailor, the colorful cardigan coat, the movements were clean and neat, and the actions were coordinated, and he knew at a glance that he was a first-class strong soldier; In contrast, his own team is a group of stragglers. He nodded again and again, "No wonder, no wonder~~"

"'Use me in the first battle, use me to win', this is the inscription of the Daming Coast Guard."

Yang Shiyi, who was dressed in a red official robe, stood on the deck to greet Lu Cuijin, and he said with a smile, "Only by being prepared and unremitting can we win!" ”

The soldier who picked up Lu Cuijin on the ship introduced, "This is Yang Shiyi in the Hubu Langzhong, Lord Yang." ”

Daming Hubu Langzhong, this is an official of the five products.

"Looking at the face from afar, there is a little red, and there is no doubt that the true color is the same as the wind; Bow in front of the furnace from your heart's desire, and see the unity of true feelings. Lu Cuijin panicked, recited the joint poem that Heaven and Earth would meet his peers, and he also made a joint gesture as he spoke.

Yang Shiyi smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "Leader Lu, this is in the army." We are the masters of the Ming Dynasty, not the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

As he spoke, he dodged out of the way and waved his hand, "Please!" ”

Isn't this Taiwan's Daming Sailor all the way with our Hong soldiers?! Aren't they the centaurs of the Heaven and Earth Society?!

Lu Cuijin suddenly muttered, he hesitated, and walked into the cabin uneasily.

Jiang Li also changed into the official robe of the Ming Dynasty, and sat on the Taishi chair with a golden sword, "You are Lu Cuijin, the leader of the Jiangmen Rebel Army!" ”

"Meet the Commander!" Lu Cuijin hurriedly saluted, "It's Lu Cuijin down there." The people of Jiangmen look forward to the Ming Dynasty, just like the long-drought land looks forward to Ganlin. ”

"Excellent! You can tell us in detail about the military situation in the area around Guangzhou. The corners of Jiang Li's mouth turned upward, but his face seemed to be paralyzed, expressionless.

Just now, the Qing prisoners have marked a map of Guangzhou, and the main thing that the Ming army lacks is the understanding of the deployment of the Hong soldiers.

The staff officer spread out a new map on the table, and wrote down the key points of the Qing army's defense as described by Lü Cuijin, as well as the key points occupied by the Hong soldiers.

Seeing such a fine topographic map, Lu Cuijin's eyes straightened. He has been studying for many years, and all he has seen are maps, which are extremely rough and unbearable to look at.

"Since August, we have been flying straight to Guangzhou from three directions: North Road, East Road and West Road. Jiangcun is the base camp on the north road, Yantang is the base camp on the east road, and ...... on the west road"

Lu Cuijin sighed, "It's a pity that the city of Guangzhou is high and deep, and the three directions by land cannot be attacked for a long time." Therefore, Guan Ju, He Bofen, Lin Xilong and other leaders decided to enter the south of Guangzhou City ...... by water."

The two maps were all hung on the wall, Jiang Li looked at them for a while, and turned around to ask Zhang Dabao's opinion, "Lord Zhang! Look~~"

Jiang Li has long served as the political chief officer of the Coast Guard, and the focus of his work has always been on political construction. Although he also studied military affairs diligently and carried out many combat missions, after all, he was a halfway monk, and he was not as professional as Zhang Dabao.

"To the south of Guangzhou, the east bank of the Pearl River is newly made, the first line of Shi'an, the first line of Dashi and Chentou on the west bank, these are all controlled areas of the Tiandihui, we don't need to pay attention to it for the time being!"

Zhang Dabao looked at the map, "Huangpu is surrounded by dense rivers and waterways, which is the most important barrier in the south of Guangzhou. As long as we take Huangpu and eliminate the Qing army sailors on the Pearl River, it is not surprising that Pazhou, Qinzhou, Liede, and Ershawei are destroyed. ”

Lv Cuijin is overjoyed, Pazhou, Qinzhou, Liede, Ershawei are the waterways between Huangpu and Guangzhou City, and the Daming Sailor is going to go straight to Guangzhou and seize the city.

"Two adults!" He hurriedly puffed up his chest, "We, the Jiangmen Righteous Army, are willing to serve the army!" ”

Lü Cuijin changed "Hong Bing" to "Righteous Army".

"Potency? All right! The corners of Jiang Li's mouth twitched, "Is the Jiangmen Righteous Army going to serve our Daming?" ”

"Red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots, anti-Qing and Ming restoration of the family." Lu Cuijin patted his chest hard, "Our Jiangmen rebels have followed the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, "I will appoint you as the captain of the first team of the Guangdong Volunteer Army, the Daming Coast Guard will storm Guangzhou City forward, and all the prisoners captured will be guarded by your first team of Guangyong." ”

"Yes!" Lu Cuijin immediately knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates will definitely complete the task!" ”

"There's one." Jiang Li looked at Lu Cuijin directly, "The Ming army is strictly disciplined, and everyone must abide by it. Three ~ discipline eight points of attention, which one is wrong, must be engaged in military law. ”

Lu Cuijin replied loudly: "Since the first team of Guangyong has followed the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely military regulations and military discipline, and it is absolutely forbidden to enforce it, and everything is only the head of the handsome horse." ”

Although he doesn't know what the "three ~ discipline and eight attentions" are, he has also read a lot of books and knows that the ancient military regulations have "seventeen forbidden laws and fifty-four beheadings", and only by prohibiting them can he win.

Zhang Dabao secretly admired himself on the side, seeing that although he was young, he participated in the formation of the two Huafu foreign companies in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and presided over the formation and command and management of the coast guard.

He arched his hand, "My lord, I have just interrogated, and the Qing army in Huangpu is busy celebrating the New Year, so only two patrol ships have been dispatched. ”

Zhang Dabao secretly clenched his fists, he came to the team several months late, and he must work hard not to lose to these young people.

"Okay!" Jiang Li laughed, "We will enter Huangpu tonight and live happily for the New Year!" ”

The coast guard ship formation was divided into two echelons, and launched attacks in turn, destroying and destroying the Guangdong naval division entrenched in Huangpu, and breaking through the Qing army's key points such as Pazhou, Qinzhou, Liede, Ershawei, and Baietan, and marching all the way, and on the afternoon of February 18 (the second day of the first lunar month), they directly attacked the city of Guangzhou.

Xiguan and Nanguan are the areas outside the west gate and south gate of Guangzhou. To the south of Xiguan is the widest white goose pond in the Pearl River. The location of Guangzhou Nanguan is the area along the bank of the Pearl River outside the city wall of Guangzhou Nancheng.

Since the city of Guangzhou, these areas have been important places for waterway transportation. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was the commercial center of Nanhai County and even the entire Guangdong Province, and the famous Thirteen Lines were set up here.

The Qing army had Xigu Fort and Xi'an Fort near Baietan, the Haizhu Fort on the south river, and the mainstay Fort on the southeast river.

"There are only ten old lock boats on the left and right, everyone aim at it, give me a hard beating!" Guarding the Xigu Fort, Shen Dihui not only cheered for his subordinates, but also for himself. After retreating in a daze, Shen Dihui was a little unconvinced.

Shen Dihui is the prefect of Guangzhou, and the Guangdong salt transportation envoy is the department. When Xu Guangjin was the governor of Liangguang, he joined the military and organized the suppression of peasant uprisings many times. This time the Heaven and Earth Society had an incident, and Ye Mingchen handed over all the Guangzhou city defenses to Shen Dihui.

Jiang Li sat on the coast guard ship and attracted the fire of the Xigu Fort head-on. Zhang Dabao took more than 200 marines on a small boat and landed ashore from the side with flying thunder cannons.

Under the cover of fire, two large iron drums with a caliber of 300mm wide and 1200mm long were aimed at the Xigu battery. The iron drum is fixed with an M-shaped steel frame, and there are two small wheels at the bottom of the steel frame, and there is a pair of long brackets on top of the large iron drum to adjust the high and low firing angles.

"Launch!"

The gunner immediately lit the cartridge, and the soldiers immediately left the flying thunder cannon, ducked far away, squatted down, covered their ears with their hands, and grew their mouths.

"Bang, bang!" After two dull sounds, two twenty-kilogram cloth bags flew into the sky, with flames and smoke, flying, tumbling, and whistling, drawing two terrifying trajectories in the air, and then they fell down and smashed into the fort, followed by a continuous earth-shattering loud bang.

Two packets of ammonium oil weighing twenty kilograms ~ explosives exploded, and the power was quite huge. The entire fort was shaking, the stomping wall was strongly pushed by the explosives, up and down like waves, collapsing one after another, the so-called Shenwei cannon also twisted to the side, the fort was full of corpses of Qing soldiers, stacked on the ground, some curled up in the soil, and some poked out of the ruins half of their bodies.

Two more deafening bangs followed.

The flames flickered, and packs of explosives weighing twenty kilograms fell whizzing, and the shock wave raged across the land, and the entire battery trembled.

Shen Dihui didn't know how many times he was overturned, but every time he fell, he immediately struggled to get up. His face was covered in blood, his teeth had fallen out, his vision was blurred, and his surroundings were in chaos.

The walls of the fort were made of large bricks glued together with glutinous rice juice, and under the impetus of the shock wave, all the bricks seemed to be turned into small dice cups on the gaming table and shook violently. Under the squeeze of the shock wave, large and small bricks and stones ejected out "bang bang bang", bursting high and smashing people's heads and bleeding......

Shen Dihui knew that the fort was about to collapse, and wanted to run out of the command post, but he just couldn't move his legs.

"My lord, the fort is about to fall, let's get out quickly!"

A few Goshkha stumbled and pulled Shen Dihui and ran out.

Many Qing army forts on the riverside were reduced to ashes one by one in the rumbling artillery of the Ming army.

Shen Dihui took the only remaining soldiers and horses and fled into the city of Guangzhou. The entire surface of the Pearl River outside the city was under the control of the Ming army.

The whole city of Guangzhou shook, and there was a rumor inside and outside the city.

The Heaven and Earth Society outside the city has been in trouble for more than half a year, but several sieges have failed. The Qing army relied on the city walls and forts for defensive operations, and the waterway south of the city was always unimpeded and maintained communication with the outside world. The city of Guangzhou is almost no different from the past, business is still done, wine and banquets are still eaten, and flower boats are still played.

On the river surface from Haizhu Temple to Baietan, prostitutes are clustered, sheng songs ripple, and carmine and pink are dyed with beautiful river. The big merchants in the city are all calm and lively to celebrate the New Year.

Unexpectedly, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, a Ming army sailor was killed from the southern waterway, and the troops actually came to the city and blocked the passage to the south of Guangzhou.
