Chapter 294: Kangxi's life and death

The forty feet long and four feet high section of the city wall collapsed with a loud noise and a terrible sound, and the two Spanish and naval musketeers, who were firing at each other with muskets at a distance of only six hundred yards from the wall, were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and stopped firing.

Angel and Carlos were both old in battle, and as soon as they heard the sound of the cannon, they immediately lay on the ground, but they avoided this round of bloody and cruel, and extremely rare close-range shooting, and when they heard the gunfire stopped, the two raised their heads and looked secretly, and there were rivers of blood on both sides.

The two of them were both frightened and frightened in their hearts, such a close range of musket fire, it was extremely frightening and depressing, many veterans of a hundred battles could not withstand this maddening killing and fled, which led to the collapse of the formation, the soldiers of the Qing State were obviously new recruits, how did they persevere?

Immediately, the two of them thought that the Qing Navy had suffered such heavy casualties this time, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to get rid of it, so in order to prevent both sides from coming to their senses and continuing to fight, Angel lay on the ground and shouted: "Derk, do you want to kill everyone to be at ease?" And not to order the soldiers to surrender? ”

At this time, the European musketeers did not have the tradition of killing officers first as soon as the battle began, and the navy was in a hurry, completely supported by a courage and strict discipline.

Deck and several other adventurous officers took advantage of this short and precious gap to check the results, in less than two minutes, the Qing country fell three rows, and their own side fell four rows, and the other party's reinforcements had arrived, there was no hope of victory at all, several people looked at each other in frustration, and reluctantly ordered surrender.

Wu Ge was red-eyed, and in a short period of time, there were three hundred casualties, he really couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately said viciously: "Shoot!" Shoot! Don't take prisoners! ”

Decker had already ordered surrender, and the soldiers had already put down their guns, and when they saw the Qing Navy raise their guns again, they were terrified and shouted: "Don't kill the prisoners!" Don't kill the captives! ”

"Bang bang bang" The sound of gunfire as dense as fried beans rang out continuously, and the marines brought by Fu Anding also opened fire, and the remaining 600 people in Spain were slaughtered in less than a minute.

Looking at the corpses and pools of blood all over the ground, Wu Ge was gloomy for a while, and he blamed himself in his heart, if he was vigilant, how could this catastrophe come about, Angel and Carlos saw that the Qing Navy was openly killing prisoners, they were angry and anxious, and they fainted.

Seeing Wu Ge's gloomy expression, Fu Anding hurriedly ordered someone to rescue the wounded, and heard the sporadic gunshots still coming from Yande's side from time to time, knowing that the matter was not big, he hurriedly took Wu Gra aside, and simply said that Seroben shelled the dean and Kangxi, and was shot by himself, and then said: "Mr. Wu, the top priority is to find the dean, the dean is on the collapsed city wall." ”

"Dean!" Wu Ge immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "These hundreds of people haven't slowed down yet, you quickly take your people to find them, you want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death." After speaking, he shouted again: "Tang Qiwang, immediately go and inform Yande to bring two hundred people over." ”

Yande only had 800 musketeers, but he was much more ruthless than Wuge, and as soon as the prisoners fled, they were shot in a row, and they were shot mercilessly, and the frightened Spaniards were like earth, and they did not dare to run anymore, no matter how fast they ran, there were no bullets, and there was no place to escape, and after hundreds of people died, all the Spanish prisoners obediently crouched on the ground.

Fang Bao does not like to be lively, has been staying in the camp of the sailor at the mouth of the Sancha River, these days of military exercises, prisoners, in order to facilitate Yinzhen to find him, only to live in a courtyard near the south gate of Tianjin, as soon as an earthquake occurred, he realized that it was not good, immediately in the guards of the subordinate to drive out of the city, just out of the city, encountered the collapse of the city wall, can't help but panic, heard the sound of muskets, followed the sound, but the heart is very anxious, good military exercises, prisoners, why will it be such a mess because of an earthquake. ..., Fang Bud and Yande rushed to the scene of the shooting almost at the same time, and glanced at the corpses all over the ground, Yande didn't care, but Fang Bud sighed, he knew Yinzhen's intention of hiring Spaniards to fight Japan, this time, I was afraid that it would be in vain, but he was most concerned about Yinzhen, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know what the situation of the Fourteenth Master is now?" ”

Wu Ge hurriedly explained the details of the matter, and Fang Bao gasped when he heard it, but he knew that the situation was urgent now, so he quickly calmed down and thought about it.

Wu Ge and Yande both knew that Yinzhen had always relied on Fang Bao, and after this big change, both of them were quite flustered, and they both looked at Fang Bao at the moment, counting on him to take the idea.

Fang Bao figured out after a little thought, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you two follow my arrangement?" ”

As for Fang Bao's origin, Wu Ge and Yande were both clear, knowing that he would not harm Yinzhen, so they hurriedly bowed down and said, "I am willing to listen to Mr. Order." ”

Fang Bao nodded, and then said: "The city wall is no more than four zhang high, the fourteenth master will not worry about his life, the emperor is old, it is very difficult to say, at present, the crown prince, the third master, and the eighth master are all in Tianjin, if the emperor is a guest, it will be followed by a big change, the prince lacks strength at the moment, but occupies the righteousness, the marine army shelled the emperor, he will definitely make a big fuss, in order to blackmail the navy to take refuge in him, the navy is the work of the fourteenth master, and it will definitely not fall into the hands of others."

Take a step back, if the emperor is fine, the fourteenth master will not escape the charge of usurping the throne and plotting rebellion! What will be the consequences of this? Whether it is the Fourteenth Master or the Navy, they are all in a catastrophe! ”

Speaking of this, Fang Bao looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there a naval warship outside Tianjin?" ”

Wu Ge and Yande didn't expect the situation to be so grim, it was an uncontrollable situation, their faces were a little pale, the navy was really a big disaster this time, shelling Kangxi, this usurpation and rebellion are not unjust at all. Fang Bao, who listened to it, asked, and Wu Ge hurriedly replied: "The eight small warships transported by the navy are at the wharf in the west of the city. ”

"Okay." Fang Bao said in a deep voice: "Time is urgent, the navy must evacuate before those forbidden brigades from the Holy Driver react and assemble." You don't need too many people to search for the Fourteenth Master, just a few places, a thousand people are enough, Wu Ge will go and mobilize four warships, leave a thousand musketeers, and drive to the vicinity of here to meet the Fourteenth Master, I will go to check the search situation for the time being.

All the other navies have withdrawn from this place, and since there is one Seropen in the navy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second, so all the children of the clan must be strictly guarded, Yande, you immediately lead the troops back to the port by boat, order all the warships to go to sea, and gather all the clan children in the navy into one ship, and strictly guard them to prevent mutiny.

Find the fourteenth master, we blow the trumpet to report. Besides, Tianjin will leave a few clever people to listen to the situation and report back at any time,"

Wu Ge frowned and asked, "What if I don't find the Fourteenth Master?" ”

"How could you not find it?" Fang Bao's expression froze, knowing that he meant to worry about Yinzhen's death, he glanced at the collapsed city wall, and said in an accentuated tone: "The Fourteenth Ye Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, don't worry, the navy is now rushing for time." ”

"What about the Spanish captives?" Yande then asked.

"Where can I take care of them at this time." Fang Bao said in a deep voice: "Order them to return to Bonan Island as a whole, otherwise they will be slaughtered by the cavalry." ”

The crown prince Yinren was embraced by the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and before he had gone far, he heard two cannon sounds, looked up, and just saw two shells exploding one after another on the southeast section of the city wall, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, it was Seropen! It must have been Cerro who made a move! It seems that Kangxi is on top of that section of the city wall.

I don't know if these two cannons have any effect, he immediately quickened his pace, at this time, there was a violent and dense gunfire outside the city, and he was immediately worried, it couldn't be Ceropen and the navy fighting, right? Seeing that no more cannons came from the follow-up, he became more and more sure of this idea, and at this moment, there was a loud bang that stunned everyone. ..., Yinren saw that it was the section of the city wall that had just been shelled that collapsed, and he couldn't help but sigh for a while, whether the shelling was effective, this time, Kangxi was already in a catastrophe, and he had been the prince for more than 30 years, and finally when he was about to be abolished, he turned the tables in one fell swoop, and was slightly stunned, he came to his senses, and now the first thing is to confirm Kangxi's death.

As soon as Kangxi died, he ascended the throne as the crown prince, it was natural and justified, and no one could stop him, thinking of this, he said loudly: "The emperor is on that section of the city wall, everyone speed up and rescue the emperor!" ”

As soon as they heard that Kangxi was in that section of the city wall, the eyes of all the soldiers looking at Yinren immediately changed, it was shelling and collapsing, Kangxi had almost no hope of living, as soon as Kangxi died, Yinren would be the emperor! Yinren didn't have troops in his hands now, and for them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and everyone immediately responded and quickened their pace.

followed by Beizi Sunu, the general Feng Xiaochun, his face was immediately pale, if Kangxi died, the consequences would be unimaginable! Both of them unconsciously slowed down.

After the earthquake, the earthquake seemed to have subsided, and all the princes on the city wall, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the guards who accompanied them were all frightened, and ran down the city wall as if they were desperate, and then ran out of the city in one breath, and the shock was at first, only to remember that Kangxi's life and death were unknown, and immediately ran towards the collapsed section of the city wall.

At the collapsed city wall, Fu Anding and a thousand marines searched carefully, and soon found the two people who were not lightly injured, Prince Jane Yaerjianga and Fuldan, both of whom were unconscious, but both were still alive, and there were three bloody corpses.

Tang Qiwang rushed over with Fang Bao at this time, and as soon as he heard the introduction, Fu Anding immediately reported: "The dean and the emperor have not been found in the periphery. ”

Fang Bao's expression immediately rose suddenly, if there was no periphery, then there was no hope of surviving at all, he asked in a deep voice: "The periphery has been searched all?" ”

"I've searched all the sixty feet around." Fu An replied in a calm and affirmative voice.

Fang Bao glanced at Yarjianga and Fuerdan, and then looked at the bloody corpses, and inadvertently saw the moat that had bottomed out, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Destroy all the artillery immediately, immediately run to the river and gather, the dean is in the river, hurry up!" ”

As soon as he heard that the dean might still be alive, Fu Anding was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to destroy the artillery and assemble the team.

When a group of dejected princes, princes, civil and military ministers, and accompanying guards rushed to the scene of the collapse of the city wall, they happened to see the cadets of the Marine Corps leaving in whole formation. Many people have seen the shelling of Kangxi by the Marine Corps before, but they can't figure out why these navies are so bold and dare to openly rebel, and they don't care about the life or death of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen.

Many people have vaguely guessed the strangeness of this, but they don't know which brother is writing this rebellious plan, and they are faintly uneasy in their hearts, no matter whether Kangxi lives or dies, there will be a storm, and I don't know how many people will be implicated.

The princes and elder brothers paid special attention to whether there were Kangxi and Lao Fourteen, and seeing that there were no outsiders in the navy, their hearts sank.

Although they also have thousands of guards, they didn't see Kangxi in the navy, and they couldn't provoke the marines, no one was stupid, and now the situation is very complicated, and no one wants to make trouble, so everyone let the marines leave, and no one made a sound.

As soon as the waiting marines left, a group of princes, princes and belles, ministers of civil and military affairs, and guards immediately searched the periphery, in order to find Kangxi and determine Kangxi's life and death, this issue is really too important! ..., Crown Prince Yinren and his entourage just arrived at the south gate, and they saw the Marine Formation running by from a distance, and he almost subconsciously hid behind the soldiers, this team of navy was obviously heading towards the river, it couldn't be the men and horses of Cerroben, and I don't know if the old fourteen was inside? If he was captured by Lao Fourteen, it would become a big joke.

Thinking of the old fourteenth, seeing the navy, Yinren's fiery heart immediately cooled down, he didn't know the situation outside the city at all, and went out rashly, which was very inappropriate, thinking of this, he stopped, glanced at the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion, and said: "This time the emperor went out to patrol Tianjin, how many people came to the Xiao cavalry battalion?" ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Zhaofu hurriedly bowed and replied: "The Xiao Cavalry Battalion has dispatched a total of 12,000 men and horses. ”

Yinren was overjoyed when he heard this, with more than 10,000 horses in hand, it was enough to be invincible, and he immediately said loudly: "From now on, you are the prince's personal guard, and in addition, all the generals and soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion will be promoted to the third rank, and those who have a knight will be promoted to the first rank." ”

As soon as he heard that the official was promoted to the third level, everyone was extremely excited, Yinren made it clear that he was recruiting troops, if Kangxi died, he would be the emperor, and Kangxi made it clear that he was more than lucky, and the generals immediately thanked him.

Yinren then ordered: "Immediately go separately and gather all the horses and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to report, and send people to investigate the situation outside the city." ”

Knowing that the soldiers and horses outside the city were scattered, and only a group of princes and ministers and more than a thousand guards were searching for Kangxi's whereabouts, Yinren immediately became emboldened and led the remaining more than 800 soldiers to go straight to the collapsed city wall.

A group of princes, princes and princesses, ministers of civil and military affairs, and guards rummaged through the perimeter of the city wall, but they did not see Kangxi and the fourteenth elder brother, and their moods became heavier and heavier. Everyone knows in their hearts that Kangxi is dead, and the salted fish of the prince is about to turn over again.

The third elder brother Yinzhi, the eighth elder brother Yinzhi, the tenth elder brother Yinlu, the fifteenth elder brother Yinlu, and the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu were extremely vigilant in their hearts, and the other princes and ministers were not clear, they were all like mirrors in their own hearts, and the marines who shelled Kangxi must be the prince's people, and he even dared to attack Kangxi, and he would show mercy to their brothers who were against him?

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi sighed even more secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that such a shrewd person as Lao Fourteen would be planted in the hands of the prince in the end, and now he would even make them miserable.

Yinren glanced at everyone, and saw that the ministers were sad, but there was no sadness, but the brothers were full of vigilance, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, after looking for so long, he didn't find Kangxi, it must be pressed under the masonry, and it is impossible to have a chance to live, however, he is still sad, and asked hypocritically: "Haven't found Huang Ama yet?" ”

Wang Xuan, the minister of the upper study, bowed down and replied: "Back to the prince, I haven't found it yet." ”

Wang Luo can be said to be the old man of his prince's party, Yinren was greatly relieved, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Gather the soldiers and horses immediately, turn over all the wall tiles, and rescue Huang Ama no matter what." ”

As soon as they heard the prince's condescending tone, the elder brothers felt unhappy in their hearts, but Kangxi's life and death were unknown, and the prince's status could be said to be the most noble, and this was not wrong, they were not easy to say anything, and the eighth elder brother Yinxi couldn't help but glance at the eleventh.

The tenth elder brother Yinqi was originally a cannon barrel, and he opened his mouth and said: "Our brothers are moving bricks to search for and rescue Huang Ama with their own hands, should the second brother also be filial?" ”

Hearing that Lao Shi did not call him the prince, but called the second brother, and accused him of not having filial piety, Yinren couldn't help but be angry, but he had been honed for many years, and he had long been happy and angry, and the current situation was delicate.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yinren said with a smile: "Ten brothers' words are good, as the crown prince, I should set an example for all brothers." ”

After the break, he was old and frail, and the only minister of the guard, who did not fall off the city wall, said coldly: "Don't worry about the crown prince, I don't think the emperor is under the wall bricks." Saying this, he pointed to the moat that had bottomed out, "Several ministers who fell down with the emperor have been found, but the emperor and the fourteenth master are missing, and it is expected that the emperor was washed down by the water." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, at this time, Prince Jane Yaerjianga was choked by a few guards and woke up, he was not seriously injured, but broke his leg, and when he woke up, he just heard this sentence, and moaned busily: "The emperor is in the river." ”
