Chapter 256 Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers unloaded their armor, but none of them were men

"It's good that you're here, it's more nervous to take care of these surrenders than to fight......"

Seeing Zhao Hanxiang arrive with reinforcements, Fang Tangheng let out a sigh of relief, but Zhao Hanxiang hadn't taken that breath yet. On the boat, he was frightened by the large crowd of people by the river, and the panicked Si Wei hit him with a gun, which blew up the flesh and blood of the Qing soldiers, not those Qing soldiers suddenly fell to their knees, and the white flag was waving, he really thought that Shaozhou was fighting under the city.

"At least 10,000......"

Zhao Hanxiang trembled in his throat, plus his wave of reinforcements, his own people were only half of the prisoners, this battle had really not been experienced before, look at those guards who were holding bayonets to force the surrender of the troops, and their eyes were about to cramp. There are too many of them, and they can't pay attention to them at all, and if they have the heart to fight back, they can't stop it.

"The officials are all taken care of separately, and they should be fine."

Wu Ya said this, but when he looked around, he knew that he didn't know the bottom of his heart. He had killed prisoners before, so he naturally had some knots, and he was afraid of surrendering his troops to make trouble.

The crowd of troops was forced to the riverside north of Shaozhou City, and only scattered corpses remained on the battlefield outside Shaozhou City. In the northeast direction, there are still large corpses floating on the riverside, and the riverbank has been dyed red, it is the Jiangxi soldiers who are trying to break through, and they were used as targets by Fang Tangheng's fleet with flying cannons, and after dropping hundreds of corpses, they finally came to their senses, and obediently raised their hands to surrender.

The original chaos outside Shaozhou City reached its peak after the high-ranking decisive breakthrough was blown up, and after Wu Ya's "sheep team" and the guards on Furong Mountain were pressed down, there were many loopholes, and there was no depth in the "encirclement" at all, and more than 10,000 Qing soldiers were all bound.

In addition to the three or four thousand people who escaped, the 30,000 troops in the high position were all annihilated under the city of Shaozhou, and Li Shi's Shaozhou pit was filled in a down-to-earth manner, and the goal of this battle was completely achieved.

If you want to cramp the Qing court and Kangxi, you have to show the power to shock the surname, and it is not enough to defeat it. Only by annihilating the other side can the other side realize the huge gap in combat strength, and Li Xian deliberately put on the position of two lone armies in the north and south, which was set up for this purpose.

If you don't mention the losses, this battle also exceeded the task.

"This ...... Is it really high? ”

Looking at the corpse whose identity could not be distinguished at all, Li Xian frowned and asked.

"Boots and sabers are indeed high, no, high."

Xie Dingbei, the former battalion general of Huguang who was arrested to identify his identity, nodded again and again, this guy had the highest rank among the captured Qing soldiers, and several other generals committed suicide, but he still wanted to live. The small matter of helping Li Xian recognize Gao Qi's position made him feel that he had made a little credit, and the black and white impermanence soul hook rope was also one step away from him.

The original plan was to seize Gao Qi's position, and it didn't matter if he escaped. Wang Wenxiong was killed before, and he could also pull the Shaozhou town standard paste wall, and then kill a commander, and the Qing court couldn't hang up on face.

can think of Zhang Hanjin's death, and he also suffered hundreds of casualties in this battle, and the scruples in Li Xian's heart also faded. Moreover, in order to protect themselves, Shaozhou City and Bai Daolong also followed their own arrangements, so Bai Daolong, a spectator, had a headache how to write the recital, and how Kangxi should weigh it.

"Complete the Huanggangshan Fort Project as soon as possible, and let the industrial and commercial master of Shaozhou Mansion directly supervise this matter."

Li Shi explained that the terrain of Huanggang Mountain is excellent, if it is built into a formal fort and strangles Wushui Zhenshui, as long as a small number of troops are placed, Shaozhou can become a veritable Shaoguan, and there will be a barrier to the north.

"As for these ...... troop reductions"

Li Xi looked at the large crowd of people by the river, and said in his heart that Foshan Iron and Steel had completed the survey of Changjiang in Qiongzhou, and it was just right for these captives to open mines in the past.

Turning his gaze to the south, what was the situation in Guangzhou, Li Xi was very curious, he was just curious, not worried.

Guangzhou City, at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain, in the main hall of Fubiao Yamen, Tang Youzeng's face was pale, and dozens of guerrilla garrisons knelt on the ground, without saying a word, and his eyes fell to the ground, just counting ants.

"You can't even do a word of loyalty when you wait for the imperial court!? I'm not afraid that this constitution will chase you for the crime of colluding with Li Thief and take your head!? ”

Tang You once scolded loudly and angrily, but these officials in the hall just rolled their eyes.

"Xiantai, even if those of us who lead the troops are willing to fight, none of the soldiers under our command are willing to move."

A guerrilla said lazily.

"Xiantai takes out the silver, and we can still push our soldiers. At the beginning of the year, in the first battle of Qingpu, the pension money of the dead officers and soldiers was broken, and the families cried and begged. Now we have to fight, everyone is not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is that there is no one to take care of the family members who die......"

Jiang Guiting, the general of the Fubiao Middle Battalion, knelt at the front and said "seriously".

"As long as you succeed, aren't you afraid that the court will not reward you!?"

Tang You gritted his teeth, avoided this question, and secretly said in his heart, Li Xian is so ruthless! This foreshadowing has already been laid.

When the war broke out in Shaozhou, Tang Youzeng, the Guangzhou trio, saw that their plan was "successful", and their minds became more active, and they wanted to mobilize the local military forces in Guangdong and surround Qingpu first. Once it was determined that Li Xian had been hit hard, he hurriedly took action to pull out the nail that Li Xian'an had outside the city of Guangzhou.

The troops that can still be moved in Guangdong are divided into three major parts, and they are all out of their control. But this is not a big problem, in their opinion, Guangzhou General Guan Yuanzhong even if he does not move the flag soldiers, he still has the military mark in his hand. Guangdong Governor Zhang Wenhuan's promotion is said to have lost troops in Fogang Mountain at the beginning of the year, and now that more than half a year has passed, it should be made up. The other is Yang Lin's supervision, which should be complete. The three parties came up with people, how could they tens of thousands, and it was enough to solve the small place of Qingpu.

Sent a secret letter to these three members, but they all hit a soft nail, and these three people had the same attitude, saying that they had received a secret edict from the emperor and should "act safely", and how to act depends on the situation in the north.

Tang Youzeng Tong Fahai Shi Yi was furious, the current situation of the court not the court, the anti-thief and not the thief, they are "righteous and heroic" Confucian officials are unbearable, the general and the governor do not move, their three major constitutions move!

But when Tang You adjusted his own Fu Biao, he felt that things were far from being as simple as he imagined. In the battle of Qingpu at the beginning of the year, Li Shi gave the families of the officers and soldiers to the victims, but they were all given on a monthly basis, and this month happened to stop.

This is in trouble, not only the family members came to the door to cry, but the other soldiers no longer have the heart to pick up knives and guns, who is dead and disabled? Tang You once pressed the officials under the Fubiao Yamen, but naturally he couldn't press it at all.

Tang You also thought about moving out the silver, and the political envoy Tong Fahai spread his hands, and he gave Li Shi a congratulatory gift before, but he just dug a big hole, where to find the silver now? This is not just a matter of raising the standard, the military standard supervises the standard and raises the standard, the pension silver at the beginning of the year is all promised by Li Shi, and now they want to break the secret agreement between the former governor and Li Shi, then they have to fill in the silver themselves, which is two or three hundred thousand taels...... "The merchant went to find it!" ”

Shi Yi straightened his hair, gathered the personal soldiers in his yamen, and wanted to arrest the merchants in Guangzhou City. Not only to raise military expenses, but in the whole of Guangdong, almost all businessmen with a little wealth have joined the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and the crime of "banditry" is put up, and people want to take it, and the silver must be squeezed!

"This ...... What's going on!? ”

As soon as he went to the street with his own soldiers, Shi Yi stood straight for a while before confirming that he was really in Guangzhou City in the 54th year of Kangxi, not in the 7th year of Shunzhi.

There were no pedestrians on the streets, the ground was messy, and occasionally you could see a mess of blood, I don't know where it was ignited, and the sky was foggy. The eerie noise made up the background, like a vent that had been suppressed for too long.

Occasionally, one occasionally, a group, at first glance, is a ruffian, just fighting on the bustling streets in the past, grabbing things, smashing houses, and turning a blind eye to Shi Yizhi's hundreds of soldiers.

"It's ...... Is this going to be the other way around!? What about the patrols of the two counties of Panyu in the South China Sea!? ”

Shi Yi was so angry that he trembled, and while beckoning his men to go down and arrest these ruffians, he muttered hatefully, but when the words came out, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted again in his heart, Li Shi, you are so vicious! Shameless! Hold all the patrols in Guangzhou City, and crush the ruffians to death, and now as soon as you let go of your hand, you will give them a chaotic city! At this time, it is too late for them to suppress the chaos in Guangzhou, where is there still effort to solve Qingpu?

Outside the west gate of Guangzhou, a large number of patrolmen guard the Xiguan tightly, whether it is the Yingci Yuan in the north or the Yanghang Wharf in the south, or even the entrance area of the Qingpu Cargo Station in the west, it is still a bustling and peaceful scene, which is diametrically opposed to the situation in the city of Guangzhou.

These inspectors were withdrawn from Guangzhou City by Li Shi in accordance with the secret agreement of Baicheng, and transferred to Xiguan to be responsible for public security control. There is another half of the city, but the situation was tense before, Tang Youzeng and others were also wary of the remaining patrolmen, and looked for various reasons to press away many patrolmen as Li Shi's people. In the past, the strict security net was loosened, and the city of Guangzhou became a paradise for scoundrels.

"One advance and one retreat, how can he pinched the key point, this is not a calculation, it is simply a ...... of force"

Seeing that his subordinates were not only unable to arrest businessmen anymore, but also that the situation on the streets of Guangzhou City could not be stabilized, Shi Yizhi had to admit that he was calculated by Li Shi's conspiracy.

"Lord Guan, it's not to deal with Qingpu, but to suppress the situation in Guangzhou City!"

Guangzhou General's Mansion, Tong Fahai begged Guan Yuanzhong.

"This is the situation of the Canton Rebellion at the beginning of the year! If I want to move troops again, I'm afraid that instead of suppressing it, the whole of Guangzhou will be blown up! What the hell are you guys up to? The emperor's important task is to stabilize Guangdong first, you just can't hold back your hands and feet!? ”

Guan Yuanzhong drank Tong Fahai, he was very angry in his heart, these guys always make small moves, just like those four elder brothers!

Guangzhou City looks like this, it can't be bounced and suppressed, but Guan Yuanzhong shrugged his shoulders, and he couldn't do anything. Junbiao was the most seriously injured in the battle of Qingpu at the beginning of the year, and the pension money was also broken, so it was impossible to count on them to dispatch. Not to mention the flag soldiers, when they are sent out at this time, it is not to suppress the bullets, but to add chaos to chaos.

"I'll send a message to adjust the Dongguan town standard, Zhang Wenhuan has no hope, his entire promotion is hanging by Li Shi's pension silver."

Guan Yuanzhong said helplessly, Yang Linna's supervision standard could not be moved, it was the last barrier of the Guangdong Green Camp.

"If you want Guangzhou City to be quiet, someone has to talk after all, if he wants Guangzhou to be chaotic, Guangzhou can be chaotic, if he wants Guangzhou to be quiet, he can naturally calm down......"

Tang Youzeng and Shi Yizhi both came to the General's Mansion, originally asking Guan Yuanzhong to send troops, but they also knew the roots, and they were full of coldness, Guan Yuanzhong suddenly said so.

Everyone looked at each other, of course this person was Li Shi.

"If he loses in Shaozhou, no one will listen to him for anything!"

Shi Yi said hatefully.

There was a sudden commotion outside the hall, and someone rushed straight in, even Guan Yuanzhong was so frightened that he shuddered, did the flag man mess up?

"My lord! That Li Xian ......"

It was Wang Hua, a general of the battalion in the military standard, who rushed in, sweating like a waterfall, as if the flesh on his face was twisted together.

"What's wrong with Li Shi!?"

Everyone stood up, only to feel that their breath was extremely heavy, and it was about to be revealed.

"That Li Xian ......"

Wang Hua hurried from Shaozhou, and before he could hold his breath, he couldn't spit out for a while, so anxious that even Shi Yizhi, a scholar, wanted to swing a knife and slash him.

"That Li Xian, defeated Gao Qiwei! Of the 30,000 troops of the imperial court, none of them escaped! ”

Wang Hua and others originally thought that Gao Qiwei was going to enter Shaozhou, and knew the consequences of the rout of the army entering the city, so they fled one after another, and only to learn that Bai Daolong had closed the city gate with his hands in the shadows, and sat back to watch Gao Qiwei lose, so they stayed to watch the play. When Li Shi's encirclement was closed and the officers and soldiers were completely finished, they hurried back to Guangzhou to report the news.

When Wang Hua said this, Guan Yuanzhong and Tang Youzeng all had weak knees, and they softened back to their seats, and the hall echoed with a tattered bellows-like panting.

"30,000 troops, gone in two days!?"

Guan Yuanzhong muttered to himself in a low voice, like a dream.

"And Chen Yuanlong's strange soldiers, don't despair......"

Tang Youzeng gritted his teeth and said, and a breath of air supported everyone's backbone.

"Passing through Yingde on the way, I heard that Zhang Chaowu, the governor of Guangxi, is already in Baicheng......"

Wang Hua said bitterly, everyone's eyes lit up again, has Zhang Chaowu already counted Li Shi's family in Baicheng?

"I'm already alone in the White City."

Wang Hua's head hung down, not daring to look at the instantaneous frozen faces of the four adults, he could even faintly hear the sound of the cracking.

When Wang Hua retreated, although there were still these few people sitting in the hall, it seemed that only the body was left, and the soul was gone.

After a long sound, he pumped it up in one breath, and his soul returned to his place, Guan Yuanzhong gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Youzeng and the others with hatred, and he couldn't eat them alive.

"This is your scheme!? I think you've been tricked by Li Xian! ”

Guan Yuanzhong scolded the three of them angrily, he didn't have to speak, Tang Youzeng and the others had already understood, it wasn't that Li Xian had already known the news beforehand, how could he win so completely!? Even the fact that he was going to Jiangxi may have been a decoy he deliberately released.

The faces of the three of them flashed black and white, and they were changing, and they were also scolding the other person in their hearts...... Guangzhou prefect Maltai!

"For today's plan, it is to stabilize that Li Shi!"

didn't care about settling accounts, Tang You said anxiously.

"Yes, I'm afraid that the thief will go back to Guangzhou to raise the flag with the power of a great victory, and at that time, I am afraid that the old things of forty years ago will be repeated!"

Tong Fahai burst into tears, it's really so, the world is in chaos!

"Shi went to Qingpu! Hou met Li Shi face to face, as long as he can stabilize Guangzhou, for the court, for the emperor, Shi will never give up! ”

Shi Yi stood up straight, and in an instant, his thin figure was as tall as standing up to the sky.

"you! When you see Li Shi, can you resist scolding him? Are you going to stabilize Guangzhou, or are you going to cause trouble in Guangdong!? ”

Tang You once scolded directly, he knew this young man's mind very well, you go straight to scold the thief, you can get a good reputation if you die, our gang, and the whole of Guangdong, are about to be dragged into the water.

"I can really stabilize that Li Shi, I can send myself up, but it's a pity ......"

Guan Yuanzhong's face was discouraged, and he also thought that no matter how Li Xi and the imperial court decided, these officials in Guangdong had already been placed on the altar...... "By the way, I still have a family in-law, and I still have a daughter......"

Guan Yuanzhong's heart jumped.

"What the hell is Martena's daughter!? Can it still be used? ”

Tong Fahai was also chattering.

The four of them looked at each other, and a trace of sadness flashed in their hearts, and at such a scene, they could only expect the little woman to come forward.
