On the 26th day of the first month of the 40th year of Yongli, the Qing army of He Fu occupied the meeting. biquge.info Next, the hilly areas such as TongguΓ² Jianghouling, Jiajiling, Baishiling, Changpoling, Pailing, Lumaling, Dadoupo, and Wufuling that the Qing army had worked so hard to enter the plain area on the first line of Tanmen Port on February 7.
"Open the military gate, and there are people waiting for the imperial army with cattle wine."
Because this area is a densely populated area, and because the Zheng army mainly moved the people of Anding, Huitong and Wenchang counties after the Anding War, the Qing army's exploration horses did not find Zheng Jun, but ushered in the local gentry who ate the pulp pot, and these landlords who were in danger under the shadow of Zheng Jun's forced relocation regarded the Qing army led by He Fu as their great savior, and led the villagers and clansmen to greet Wang Shi in order to greet Wang Shi.
"The military gate, the people greet the king, it is the emperor's holy call, and it is also a portrayal of the military gate to relieve the people from hanging upside down."
"This is the virtue of the Holy Son of Heaven, how dare this official take credit." He Fu glared at the deputy general beside him, and compared himself with Kangxi, whether this is praising himself or harming himself. "Although the people are diligent, but the sea rebellion has not been extinguished, the official will not stay, Lord Wang, you will go to see the people on behalf of the official, and by the way, inquire about the current situation of the sea rebellion."
"The military gate has been investigated, the main force of the sea rebellion is in Boao Puli, and the other part is guarding the county seat of Lehui."
Lecheng, the county seat of Lehui, is located on Lecheng Island on the Wanquan River, surrounded by water, only boats and boats can enter and exit, so as long as hundreds of people are guarding the island, the Qing army from afar is helpless, of course, if it can break the Zheng Jun water village in Boaopu, then the Zheng army who is defending Lecheng will also become the meal of the Qing army because of isolation.
Since the key to the problem is entangled in the ownership of Boao, He Fu asked: "Have you found out the situation of Zheng Jun on the front line of Boao?" β
"It has been proved that Zheng Jun has three bars in Hebei and three bars in the sandbar at the mouth of the river, and the situation in Henan and the Shamei Inland Sea is unknown, but the Tanma who dived into the river did not find Zheng Jun's sailors, and it is estimated that they are hidden in the south."
Looking at the rough map in front of him, He Fu couldn't help frowning. You must know that Boao is a place where rivers and lakes are dense, and the forests are dense, and it is a place that is easy to defend and not conducive to attacking, and Zheng Jun has three key passes along the river, which seems to be to lure the Qing army to conquer them one by one, which makes He Fu have doubts, is it to dance according to the rhythm of Zheng Jun?
Seeing He Fu's thoughtful look, the chief soldier Jian said: "Military gate, the lower officials think that although there are three forts in Hebei, there are nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers. β
Division? Use the Wanquan River to divide the official army? The speaker listened unintentionally, and He Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, maybe this is Zheng Jun's real intention, but does Zheng Jun have so many troops? Or is it true that a brigade of Zheng Jun has come from Qiongzhou in the past few months, but Zheng Kezhang is not ready to defend Dongning?
He Fu's thinking was a little confused, he frowned and thought, now to ask Fujian about the enemy's situation must be slow or not, and now the plan is only to probe while fighting, so he smiled: "Zuojiang Town's words are very good, but it is good to know whether Zheng Jun's fort is a silver-like wax gun head." β
Speaking of this, He Fu, who politely refused the request to divide the troops, ordered: "All departments should camp on the spot, and the horses should carefully investigate the movements of the Zheng army, so as to confirm the strength of the Zheng army."
"Zheng Jun is here!" Although the fall of Changhua was not enough to shake He Fu's determination, the Qing army in Danzhou and other places was shocked three times a day. "Quick, go back to Zhou City and report to Lord Duji." The Qing army in charge of the beacon tower in Baimajing jumped on his old donkey as soon as possible. "You have defended it for me, and when the reinforcements come, this officer will ask you for a reward."
But no one is a fool, as soon as the head of the front foot left, several green battalion soldiers scattered in a hurry, and even forgot to light the beacon fire, but the beacon tower on the other side of Yangpu was quite dutiful, but the beacon fire that went straight into the sky caused a great commotion.
More than a dozen breaths later, Xiantang, Haijiao, Huachong and other beacon towers of the wolf smoke were lit one after another, and after a while, the Xinying beacon tower, which saw the smoke pillar rushing to the sky on the other side of the bay, also raised smoke in the panic to warn, and soon, the baton was passed to Danzhou City one by one.
Seeing the alarm, the Qing army guarding the city closed the four gates of Danzhou in a panic, and the main streets in Danzhou City also fell into a dead silence after a moment of turmoil.
Li Hui (Shuyou Poor Dao 123456), who was sitting on a double-sailed boat with no more than a group of people, did not know that he had caused such a big momentum, and you must know that the Navy had no plan to continue to advance north, but only at Tian Chao's insistence, a boat was sent to try to attack from the sea.
"Li Hujun, the beacon fires on the shore have been lit, shouldn't we go back?" is also known as the captain, but the captain of the double-sail ship, He Zhichao (recommended by the book friend, crying chrysalis), is only the deputy lieutenant of the Xiuwu of the Zhengbapin, that is, he cannot be compared with the rank of the captain of the plywood gunboat, and he cannot be compared with the captain of the ship and the captain of the Daifuku ship, and even in front of Li Hui, who joined the army from the captain of the Captain of the Naval Division of the Naval Corps, he has to regard himself as a subordinate. "If it's too late, if the Qing Lu sends a ship to attack, we can do it."
"Although He Xiuwu is reasonable, the beacon fire has been lit for a long time, but there are signs of the Qing army attacking?"
He Zhichao is not the brother of He Zhizhou, the owner of the Ming Zheng Manila Commercial Hall, he is barely the same ancestor five hundred years ago, he is the anti-Qing rebel army incorporated from Zhoushan, in short, he is a pirate, so he was said by Li Hui in a slightly ridiculous tone, and his temper also came up: "Since the guards are not afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of." β
"That's good." Li Hui pointed to the beach not far away. "Is that a saltworks?" He Zhichao glanced at it and nodded. "In the past, thieves were not empty-handed, since we are here, let's go back without loot, and bring salt to plug the mouths of those bastards."
The small boat on board the ship transported the sailors to the salt field twice, He Zhichao's brows tightened, he just gambled, to be honest, to let him stay in this dead place, it really made him a little worried.
However, He Zhichao was worried in vain, and when he saw Zheng Jun on the beach, the ambassador of the salt field ran away with dozens of salt dings, and gave the mountains of sea salt to Li Hui and them without resistance. Li Hui, who had no means of transport, was dumbfounded for a long time when he looked at the salt, and then reluctantly found a few straw bags and transported them back to the ship
"The sea rebel took a total of 400 stones of sea salt." Zheng Jun retreated after harassing a circle, and before Zhizhou and Dusi, who had finally settled down, had not had time to celebrate each other, the losses below were reported. "In addition, Hai Kick and Hua Chong each lost one artillery, which makes this how the official can report to the prefect."
In fact, Zhizhou also understands that Zheng Jun came only with a small boat, how could he transport away four hundred stones of sea salt, it was nothing more than a move in the salt field, as for the lost artillery of the Xun soldiers, it is estimated that the bronze was melted or suffered private money, but these should have their own share, in this case, it is better to make a piece of article into a flower.
"My lord, the small one thinks that the sea rebellion with fifteen big ships and nearly 100 small boats, broke into Danzhou Bay, and the Lord Du Si personally led the troops to defend Danzhou City, and finally relied on the power of heaven to repel the sea rebellion, losing more than 100 soldiers, a number of ordnance, in addition, the sea rebellion also plundered sea salt and other materials." The master on the side said so. "In order to ensure that the sea rebellion did not lead the snake out of the hole, Lord Dusi did not go out of the city to pursue, and sent a sentry the next day to find that the sea rebellion had escaped."
"So, so!" Lord Dusi on the side smiled, not only did he have military merits, but the holes that should be filled were also written off, whether he could make another sum of money because of this, naturally it depended on the result of his bargaining with Zhizhou. "However, do you still have to write that Lord Zhizhou personally went to the city to supervise the battle, so that the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted?"
"It doesn't matter if you write these or not, as long as the city is defended, it will be a great achievement of the official." Having said that, the staff will not be insignificant. "Lord Dusi, the documents in the house are easy to write, but today is just a sentry for the sea rebellion, what if the sea rebel attacks in the future?"
"Lord Zhizhou is very considerate, although Xiang Yong has recruited a lot at the moment, but Xiang Yong's combat power?" Du Si also frowned, obviously afraid that Zheng Jun would swarm in. "The intention of the lower officials is that they should ask for help from Fucheng together with the report documents, at least let the prefect transfer one or two battalions to Danzhou."
Zhizhou said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the prefect will refuse to send troops on the grounds that the city has few soldiers." β
"If the prefect is unwilling to draw troops from the prefecture, can you ask him to arrange for the transfer of soldiers and horses from Lingao and Chengmai counties to come for reinforcements." Du Si's abacus is that since he is blocking Zheng Jun's marching route, if he does not protect himself, Lingao and Chengmai will naturally not be able to protect it in the next step. "Adults also have to talk to the two counties about the stakes."
"That's all there is to it"
"My lord," Zhizhou had not finished speaking, and the following messenger came in to pray. "The big families in the city ask the adults to open the city gates, so that they can take refuge in the capital city."
"Those bastards!" Zhizhou cursed, but the big households have some background, and it is not something that he can deal with as a state governor in Sanzhou. "Forget it, open the east gate and let them go quickly."
The official just wanted to retreat, but Du Si stopped him: "Slow! If they are gone, what will happen to the food and pay? β
Zhizhou knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, but some words could not be said by him, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does Lord Dusi mean?" β
"It's okay to go, but you have to leave something behind, right?"
