At the end of March of the 25th year of Kangxi's reign, Yao Qisheng, who was recuperating in Fuzhou, was recovered 50,000 taels of silver because the household department investigated the case of Fujian fraudulently leading the army. Yao Qisheng, who was in tears, became ill after defending himself in the book, and died on the second day biquge.info of the fourth month. After Kangxi got Yao Qisheng's testament, he was grateful for the hard work of this old dog, so he issued a decree to exempt him from compensation, and even Huang Fangshi, the former Chenggong of Qianhai who was previously impeached and misappropriated military funds, was also exempted from compensation.
But before a traitor lackey sang praises to Kangxi, Zheng Jun suddenly sent troops to Qiongzhou again, and in just more than ten days, he successively captured Lehui, Wanzhou, Lingshui and other places, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yazhou and Huitong. Since it had only been five or six years since Zheng Jun's previous attack on Qiongzhou, the local vitality had not yet recovered, so Zheng Jun adopted an attack route that focused on the south and light on the north, focusing on absorbing the population, but Rao was like this, and the emergency documents from the Qiongzhou government were constantly sent to Guangzhou like snowflakes
Zhao Shilin, the governor of Liangguang, who was still immersed in the victory of Huizhou's forced Zheng army to retreat, learned that the matter in Qiongzhou was urgent, and he immediately felt like he had been hit in the face, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately summoned Wang Yongyu, the general of Guangzhou, Li Shizhen, the governor of Guangdong, and the marquis of the Guangdong naval division, He Fu, the governor of Guangxi, and Huang Dalai, the general of Yunyang, Hunan, to discuss countermeasures.
"Qiongzhou and Gao Lianlei are opposite each other across the sea, and if you want to reinforce the past, you must first break through the strait." Marquis was originally the commander of the Guangdong land division and was transferred to Guizhou as the commander of the land division, this time to rebuild the Guangdong naval division, the eldest son of the Qing court dwarf, and transferred him back to the old land, but when it comes to naval warfare, he is actually a person who knows seven tricks and six tricks, and he doesn't know anything, so he is afraid of competing with Zheng Jun at sea. "Although Huizhou won a great victory last time, the Guangdong sailors were all destroyed, what are you going to do with the sea now?"
When the Guangdong Navy Commander's camp in Jieshi Town was attacked, the Marquis was still in the mountains of Guizhou, so he didn't have to bear any responsibility for it, but Zhao Shilin's face was a little ugly, after all, it was his responsibility.
"Maybe the civilian ships can transport some battalions over, but if the Zheng army intercepts them, even if they break through the strait, there may not be ships that can come back." Governor Li Shizhen saw that the governor's face was ugly, so he hurriedly haha. "Moreover, the topography of Qiongzhou is easy to move from the sea to the land, but the land march is difficult, so Lord Hou's concerns are reasonable, but I and other Xinjiang ministers have the responsibility to defend the territory, and we can't sit back and watch the sea take all the land and be indifferent."
"That's right, but it will take time for the sailors to rebuild." Speaking of which, at that time, the Cantonese sailors in Jieshi Harbor were just a shelf, but the Marquis bit this to death in order to shirk the responsibility for himself in the next war. "No one has no boats, how can this fight with the sea rebellion, and the official is worried that once the official army reinforces Qiongzhou on a large scale, what should I do if the sea rebellion suddenly comes back?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of back." The rank of the general officer in Guangzhou is the same as that of the governor of Liangguang, but his status is higher than him, and even the green battalion soldiers in Guangdong Province are also under the command and dispatch of the general of Guangzhou, so Wang Yongyu, who was born in the red flag of the Han army, took a mouthful, and the marquis was silent. "After all, there are still reinforcements from Xianggui in the province, and Prince Kang can also transfer troops from Fujian Province to assist in defense, but how to land in Qiongzhou is a problem, after all, the water divisions of the three provinces are all being rebuilt, even if you want to transfer some from Fujian first, you can't."
Guangxi Governor He Fu and Hunan Yunyang General Huang Dalai were just listening there with a stiff face because they were guest soldiers, and they didn't have the slightest idea of expressing their opinions, but Zhao Shilin didn't want to let go of the two: "He Junmen, Huang Zongzhen, the two of them are also veterans, what is good to build a good building, just say it bluntly." ”
The so-called official level crushed people to death, looking at the unkind face of the marquis, Huang Dalai said: "Hunan is located inland, and the humble post is only seen in Guangdong Province. ”
Huang Dalai is a guest army in southern Hunan, and the governor of Biyuan (note: in the early Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty set up the governor of Biyuan and the imperial history of Yunyang, Kangxi abolished the imperial history of Yunyang in three years, and the governor of Biyuan was changed to the governor of Hunan in the second year of Yongzheng) is his right management, even if he is false and wrong, the people present have no way to take him, so He Fu can actually do this, but this old man holds his own identity and does not want to express his position with a general soldier, so he pondered for a while before giving a charter.
"The imperial court wants to implement a sea ban, and Qiongzhou is naturally outside the boundary closure order, rather than losing land to reprimand the emperor, it is better to simply withdraw the troops."
"Withdrawing troops?" Several of them are characters who have been in the sea for a long time, and their joy and anger will naturally not be colorful, but they were still greatly shocked by He Fu's words. "Qiongzhou is not as good as Dongning, it was Chinese territory when the Han Dynasty was here, if we abandon it in the name of the sea ban, I'm afraid I can't explain it to the emperor."
Kangxi is the most important emperor in the world, this is like ceding territory, how can he be satisfied, the emperor is not satisfied, this anger must not be sprinkled on the civil and military heads of Guangdong, He Fu patted his ass and left, but the others were unlucky.
"Then make a desperate bet, call in civilian boats, fishing boats, and transfer more troops and horses to Qiongzhou." After hearing this, everyone knew that the feelings of He Fu were just suppressing first and then rising. "Hundreds of ships compete for the current, and thousands of boats are unexpected, and this official does not believe that the sea can all come now." Saying this, He Fu ordered someone to take the map and instructed him in a tone of complete control. "There are many ports on both sides of Leizhou, as long as a time is set and they go hand in hand, this official wants to see how the sea is blocked?"
He Fu's plan was to sacrifice a part in exchange for the landing of the Qing army, Li Shizhen hesitated: "Let's not say that there will be a lot of losses in this way, let's just say that once it lands in Qiongzhou, can this ship come back?" If the ship can't come back, how can the army on land be supplied? Qiongzhou has never been rich, and Qiongbei has been captured by the sea, and it has not yet recovered its vitality."
"A few adults have a high opinion of the sea," He Fu sneered. "Although Shi Junmen was defeated and died, the battle of Penghu was not completely exaggerated, and Hai Wei was also deeply injured, and the official was very suspicious that Hai Wei still had the strength to completely block the strait." But He Fu's words did not make the feudal officials feel at ease, so he said again. "Then bring more grain and heavy weight, and it will be regarded as a one-shot deal."
He Fu, who has reached the level of admiral, has long been free to care about the casualties of lower-level officers and soldiers, in his opinion, as long as he ascends to Qiongzhou, with the scale of more than 10,000 Zheng troops reported by Liu Wenlong, the general soldier of Qiongzhou, it is not enough for him to swing in one go, not to mention that according to the unspoken rules, at least more than half of the water will be deducted from the figures reported below.
"It's too risky." The Marquis was adamantly opposed. "Not to mention how to gather the dispersion of the army after scattering on the ships and dispersing the landing, let's just say that after the gathering, let's assemble and go south, the roads in Qiongzhou have been in disrepair for many years, how can the speed of the march be faster, in case the war drags on and the military rations are exhausted, these tens of thousands of soldiers will be dead."
"It's April now." He Fu argued with reason. "By the time we go ashore, I'm afraid it's already June or July, and the rice in the fields is already ripe, even if it is inconvenient to transport it across the sea, how can it not be transported to the nearest place in Qiongzhou."
"When the rice is ripe and transported to the army, this typhoon will also come." The Marquis came up with another reason. "Isn't the war going on? At that time, I am afraid that the officials and soldiers will rob the people of food, and the sea will be cheapened in vain. ”
"The people are suffering, and the official naturally knows about it, but Lord Hou forgot that Ci is not in charge of the army!" He Fu snorted heavily. "If anyone colludes with the sea rebel because of this, it will naturally be unforgiving!"
Zhao Shilin frowned, of course he knew that He Fu wanted to use the heads of the people of Qiongzhou to dye his top red, but the official was given by the emperor, not the people, and he also knew the truth, so after thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but cast on Wang Yongyu's face: "Lord Wang, what do you mean?" ”
"Although Qiongzhou is wild, it is also a land of China that has been in business for many years, and it is ripe three times a year, so I am afraid that this land is also a valuable thing." Wang Yongyu glanced at Zhao Shilin and Li Shizhen with a smile. "If the traitors resist the grain and are killed, will this be the land?" Li Shizhen trembled, but the eyes of several generals on the side showed a terrifying light. "So this official thinks that what the military gate said is very insightful, and the sea rebellion landed in Qiongzhou to ask for the population, so it is better to simply kill it, and miss the sea rebellion."
"Lord Wang, when today's son is Shengming." Li Shizhen was not a compassionate person, but he knew Kangxi's temperament very well, so he persuaded him with a pun. "We still have to be measured when we wait for our courtiers."
"Of course, of course." Wang Yongyu nodded busily. "So, what Master He said just now is the collusion between the anti-grain and the sea rebellion, the good people, naturally the court should treat them preferentially."
As soon as Wang Yongyu said this, Li Shizhen, who got an excuse that could be perfunctory to Beijing, did not intervene, so Zhao Shilin calculated: "How many soldiers and horses should be prepared?" ”
"The sea is also a long-lasting battle, so it should not be underestimated." Exaggerating the enemy's strength is to show his own military exploits, so He Fu stretched out his hand to compare. "At least 20,000 horses and two months' worth of food will be mobilized."
Twenty thousand? Zhao Shilin calculated, now into Guangdong Guangxi green battalion about 10,000, Hunan green battalion about 5,000, the province still has 3,000 Guangdong Province green battalion, garrison eight banners 3,000, Fujian and Guangdong border there are also 20,000 Guangdong Province green battalion, it is said that the strength is more than enough, but the thousands of miles of sea and territory are full of loopholes, if you really want to draw out 20,000 of them, in order not to let the Ming and Zheng sides have a chance, I am afraid that a part of the guest army will be filled in to assist the defense.
"Please send a letter to Prince Kang to discuss the transfer of 10,000 Jiangxi troops to the south." Zhao Shilin and Wang Yongyu chewed their ears. "The next official will ask for help from Lord Shu Alian in Hunan and ask him to transfer another 5,000 Hunan troops into Guangdong." Wang Yongyu stroked his beard and nodded slightly, so Zhao Shilin turned his head to look at everyone. "Hou Junmen, you immediately recruit civilian boats in the province, and limit the collection of 300 boats within one month."
The Marquis was very reluctant, but the general and the governor joined forces, but he couldn't stop it, so he responded sullenly: "The subordinate obeys the order!" ”
"He Junmen." Zhao Shilin continued to order. "You lead 3,000 provincial troops, 10,000 Gui troops, and 5,000 Hunan troops to the south to garrison Gaolei Lian Road, and as soon as Hou Junmen mobilizes ships, he will immediately go south to rescue Qiongzhou."
"He Junmen." He Fu has not yet responded, Wang Yongyu added. "This official will also send you a thousand five from the Eight Banners of Guangdong Province, and please brother, live up to the emperor's grace."
"The lower officials are saved."
"Lord Li, the grain and straw needed by the army depends on the dispatch of the adults."
Li Shizhen nodded and signaled: "Please rest assured that the subordinate will do his best." ”
"Very good, the adults are gone," Zhao Shilin shouted. "When Qiongzhou is recovered, this official will join hands with Lord Wang to ask for credit for all the adults?"
