"Master, if there is anything, just contact the incense hall that Han left in Nanchang," In a secret place outside Shaoguan City, Chen Shenwu, who had rushed from Guangzhou after hearing the news, saw Zhu Qi with a withered face. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network) "Why bother so hard to come to Guangli in person. โ
"The situation is urgent, please ask Lord Chen to help." Zhu Qibi gestured and talked to Chen Shenwu. "Although the righteous army in Ganzhong still occupies several prefectures and counties, the Qing troops from all provinces have come one after another, and the Tartars, traitors and rebels are ten times more than the righteous army. Failure is just around the corner, and I hope that Lord Chen will hurry up to the rescue for the sake of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. โ
"Lord Wang," Chen Shenwu addressed the other party with the title of King Yiyang given to Zhu Qi by Zheng Jianguo. "It's not that the lower officials don't want to help the Ganxi Righteous Army, it's just that the third prince of Zhu is the third prince?" Chen Shenwu sighed. "If it is to help it succeed, who is this Zhengshuo, and where is Zheng Jianguo in Dongning?"
"The reason why Daming is not as good as the former Song Dynasty can defend half of the south of the Yangtze River is because of the Zhengshuo dispute." Zhu Qi said with a heart-wrenching gesture. "Is it going to happen again now?" Zhu Qian bluntly said to Chen Shenwu. "You and I both know what is going on with that Third Prince Zhu, but it's just a matter of urgency."
"If you change to the banner of the prince" Chen Shenwu tried to say a word, he saw Zhu Qian standing up angrily, and suddenly his heart suddenly dawned, first, the third prince of Zhu is naturally more famous than the king of Yiyang, and second, Zhu Qian is obviously at most a strategist in the righteous army, and he can't control the army at all. "Master, it's good to discuss." Zhu Qian stopped his steps, and at this time Chen Shenwu asked. "I don't know how the master needs to be rescued?"
"Can you contact Dongning?" Zhu Qian looked at Chen Shenwu expectantly, Dongning broke the Qing army twice, and hundreds of thousands of Qing troops were either killed or captured, which made Zhu Qi forget that the other party was still separated from him by thousands of mountains and rivers. "Please ask Zhang Guogong to lead his troops to attack Zhejiang and Fujian to echo Jiangxi, or he can sweep the south of the Yangtze River and achieve the great cause of restoring vision in one fell swoop."
Chen Shenwu smiled bitterly, of course he understood that this was Zhu Qi's delusion, not to mention that today's Dongning has no ability to use troops on the mainland, even if there is this glimmer of possibility, Zheng Kezhang will never bet all his hole cards on the so-called friendly army, but he understands that he can't reply to Zhu Qi so straightforwardly, so he pretended to answer frankly.
"The master doesn't know that due to the war in Qiongzhou, the Qing Dynasty has strictly guarded the coast of Guangdong, which has caused the loss of contact between Hanliu and Dongning for a long time, and the lower officials are also in a hurry, but even if Qionghai is unobstructed now, it is not possible to restore contact with Dongning in one or two days."
Zhu Qi's expression froze, obviously he didn't expect such a result, but Chen Shenwu's attitude didn't seem to be fake, so he had to retreat: "Then can Hanliu instigate an army in Guangdong to echo Ganxi?" โ
As soon as Zhu Qi said this request, Chen Shenwu's face suddenly changed, and it was obvious that Zhu Qian regarded the troops in Ganxi as his own capital, and did not hesitate to let Han Liu take the fire for him to share the attention of the Qing court.
"The master's request is so eager, how can the lower officials arrange it calmly." Chen Shenwu declined. "If the troops are raised in a hurry, it doesn't matter if the Hanliu halls are exposed, and it may not be able to attract many Qing troops to aid Jiangxi." Looking at Zhu Qi's disappointed expression, Chen Shenwu promised. "Xiaguan may be able to delay the entry of the Qing army in Guangdong into Jiangxi"
Chen Shenwu's words were not finished, and Zhu Qian said angrily: "Since Han Liu has no intention of helping, the poor monk has come in vain, farewell!" โ
"Master! The master misunderstood. Chen Shenwu bowed deeply to the extremely disappointed Zhu Qi. In fact, where Han Liu was set up, the lord explained that he wanted to lurk for a long time, mainly to obtain information about the Qing captives, and did not advocate organizing the people to launch an uprising."
"This?" Zhu was dumbfounded. "What does Zhang Guogong mean by this?"
"Without it, the Qing Dynasty is powerful, and it can't be done without ten years of revenge"
On the seventh day of the second lunar month, Zheng's Fubo fleet bombarded Jinxia and landed at Kinmen with the second regiment of Youlongxiang's division, forcing the Qing army in Fujian Province to withdraw from Xiamen and adjacent islands; On 19 February, the Fubo fleet shelled Tongshan and Nanao, and assisted the 3rd Regiment of Youlongxiang's Division to land in Nanao and demolish the barracks abandoned by the Qing army; On February 24, Zheng Jun landed in Jieshi Town and plundered more than 10 shore defense copper cannons; On the third day of the first month of March, the Northern Fleet again shelled Changguo and Shipu, forcing the remnants of the Zhejiang Provincial Naval Division to retreat to the land -- although these shelling were only a superficial end, and the landing only took a few days before retreating, these small-scale offensives were not necessarily the harbingers of large-scale cross-sea operations, and they could not but make the green battalions of Fujian and Guangdong provinces unable to move, and some supported the actions of the rebel army in Jiangxi Province.
On 23 February, 15,000 soldiers of the Qing Army's Green Banner from Hubei and Anhui provinces and more than 30,000 soldiers from Nanchang fought a decisive battle in Xinjian County north of the Ganjiang River.
On the seventh day of the first month of March, ten of the eleven Fuzhou counties recovered by the righteous army had fallen back into the hands of the Qing army, and the remnants of more than 20,000 rebels were besieged and divided into Yicheng, and defeat was just around the corner. At this time, the landlord regiment who was willing to do things also launched a frenzied purge of the scattered personnel of the righteous army, and a large number of innocent people were killed, and for a time Jiangxi fell into a bloody storm.
Just when the Yijun Mountain was exhausted, the Zheng Army Zhoushan team, which had been silent for a while, suddenly exerted force. Fang Xipeng commanded more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of more than 10 warships to go ashore from the Tongzhou (Nantong) salt field, and swept all the way north through the nine salt fields under the Tongzhou and Taizhou salt transportation divisions, killing nearly 1,000 armed salt soldiers, errand soldiers, and the momentum was unparalleled for a while.
Since the Lianghuai salt industry was one of the three major financial pillars of the Qing court, the attack on the salt works certainly shook the entire Liangjiang and the upper echelons of the Qing court. Kangxi issued several edicts demanding that the Kou Zheng army be immediately cleared, but most of the green battalions in Soviet Province were transferred to Jiangxi and Zhejiang, and the remnants of the troops were difficult to defend even Yangzhou, Huai'an, Tongzhou, Taizhou and other prefectures and counties, and the Jingkou and Jiangning banner battalions could not be moved lightly, so the Qing court had no choice but to order the Shandong Green Battalion to rush south to reinforce.
However, when the slow Shandong and Huaibei green camps entered the salt area, the housing department, which had already held a large number of stove households, returned to the sea safely, leaving only the messy salt fields to the Qing army. Affected by the destruction of the salt field and the burning of boiled salt (note: at that time Huaibei dried salt, Huainan boiled salt) and the grass was burned, the price of salt rose in response to the high price, and each quotation (note: 1 salt was 300~400 catties) increased from 128 cents and 8 cents after adding taxes and miscellaneous expenses to 226 cents and 9 cents, an increase of more than 40%. Since the price of salt has risen, the price of salt in the final sales place has also skyrocketed from the original more than 30 wen per catty to 100 wen per catty. Kangxi and some central officials of the Qing court may have paid attention to the problem of the explosion of salt prices, but the officials below turned a blind eye to the pressure of making up for national taxes and personal benefits, and the lives of the people in the provinces were greatly affected.
However, the actions of the Zhoushan team were of limited help to the remnants of the Ganxi rebels, and on March 17, the Qing army began to attack the city of Fenyi. The rebels resisted to the death, and the Qing army was careless and left nearly a thousand corpses behind. Unwilling to be defeated in the final battle, the Qing army continued to attack Fenyi day and night for the next four days, and finally on March 22, the head of Fenyi City was attacked.
In view of the stubborn resistance of the rebels during these five days, the commander of the Qing army, Ba Hund, ordered that the city should not be sealed after the city was broken, so the red-eyed Green Banner soldiers staged a tragic massacre in the city of Fenyi
However, the Qing army did not do its best in fact, and Song Mou, the leader of the rebel army under the banner of "Third Prince Zhu", disappeared a long time ago, and Zhu Qi and other behind-the-scenes masterminds also went into hiding. Because the "Third Prince of Zhu" did not see anyone alive or dead, the Qing army repeatedly pursued Fenyi in western Henan after turning Fenyi into a dead city, and thus Jiangxi Province fell into a long-term white terror
"Commander, it's not good." Early in the morning, Fang Xipeng had just gotten up to freshen up, and his nephew Fang Yunchun appeared in front of him with an anxious face. "Off the island, the boat, the soft sailing gunboat of Dongning." Fang Xipeng, who was shocked, didn't care about continuing to wash his face, dropped the wooden basin and followed Fang Yunchun to the hill behind the house in three steps and two steps. "Commander, uncle, the Zheng family has turned its face, you say, what should we do?"
"yes, what are we going to do now?" At this time, most of the more than a dozen captains of the Zhoushan team also stood on the hill and looked at Yiqi in front of them at a loss, and when they heard Fang Yunchun's question, these people gathered around Fang Xipeng as if they had found the backbone. "Do you want to fight, or do you want to be killed?"
Fang Xipeng smiled bitterly, the other party has so many cannons, and there is no movement in the direction of Jinji Mountain, obviously it has either been reversed or has fallen into the hands of Zheng Jun, so it is absolutely impossible to fight, and once the fight starts, it is self-evident what will happen to the family members of the Zhoushan team staying in Dongning.
When he was hesitating, Lin Lubin didn't know where to come out, and with a heavy face, he walked over with the eyes of a group of captains who wanted to kill: "Commander, the Lord has an order!" โ
Lin Lubin looked at the stubborn few people and sighed: "With the Fubo fleet dispatching powerful gunboats and the right dragon division dispatching the second regiment, going north to form the Zhoushan detachment of the Fubo fleet with the Zhoushan team, and building the Great Qushan Governor's Mansion to preside over the strategy of northern Zhejiang and northern Jiangsu." โ
Annex! Everyone present subconsciously remembered this word, but Lin Lubin's words were not finished: "Jinfang Xipeng commanded the envoy, transferred to the deputy chief teacher of the Sipin Sailor Academy, commissioned Yan Dao and the commander of the Zhoushan detachment, and appointed Zhou Yunlong as the governor of the Zhoushan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."
Fang Yunchun shouted: "Commander, what should I do?" โ
Did Zhou Yunlong sell himself? Fang Xipeng thought for a moment, and finally he shook his head at his nephew who was full of anxiety, and leaned down: "Minister, obey the orders of the lord"
