109. Reconquest

The battle was severe. The Qing soldiers and sailors stationed in the north of the Yangtze River could only wait for reinforcements on the spot. Yue Le had already sent an urgent report to the imperial court, and smiled self-deprecatingly at Fu Lin: "At the beginning of the war, Wu Sangui quickly occupied Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and most of Hunan with overwhelming momentum, and the war was most prosperous in Hunan. The ministers of the imperial court and the children of the Eight Banners mostly advocated sending the main force to meet the enemy in Hunan. I alone overrode public opinion, advocating the capture of Nanchang first, cutting off the contact between Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, and avoiding an alliance between the two feudatories. Once the two feudatories form an alliance, we will be in danger at that time. Unexpectedly, now that I have fallen into Gao Dejie's plan to lure the enemy, those who oppose my ideas in the court may take the opportunity to suppress them, and I wonder if the emperor will still support my ideas. ”

Fulin looked at Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng was eating the melons and fruits on the table blankly, somehow, in recent days, I always feel so sleepy and sleepy, I want to sleep, is this the reaction of pregnancy? Still stayed on the boat for a few days, a little seasick for the sake of it. When she saw Fu Lin looking at her, she shook her head and responded, although she knew a little about the history of the Qing Dynasty, she didn't know anything about the war between Wu Sangui and the Qing court.

Fu Lin stood in front of the porthole with his hands behind his back, full of confidence: "Don't worry! Xuan Ye still agreed to let you attack Nanchang first despite the opposition of so many ministers that day, which shows that he also has this kind of worry in his heart. Now, the defeat was entirely accidental, and it was the fault of Rab's greed for merit. As an emperor, we must grasp the general direction, not look at temporary gains and losses, so the policy towards the enemy will not change, and it is even more impossible to let Nanchang and Jiujiang be occupied by Wu Sangui and ignore them. So, don't worry, Ye'er will definitely send reinforcements to come, and there will be no less. ”

Yue Le looked at Fulin happily, his eyes full of admiration: "The emperor is still the emperor, no matter how many years have passed, the emperor has never changed in my eyes." ”

Fu Lin chuckled: "Prince An has not changed in my eyes, he is still brave and strategic, and he is like watching the fire for the general trend of the world." And Xuan Ye has also grown up, and I, in history, have become a superfluous person. ”

Yue Le shook his head violently and was about to say something. A strong voice shouted categorically: "Bold, how dare you speak out about the name of the saint?" This is the sin of deceit. Yang Jie hurriedly panicked. He raised the sword at his waist and pointed at each other: "It turned out to be General Meng!?" Hello so bold! Even if you have a credit to the imperial court, you will not be allowed to be presumptuous to the saint! This is the sin of deceit! ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Yue Le pressed Yang Jie's sword blade and said with a smile: "General Yang heard it wrong, this king didn't hear General Meng call the saint by his name, by the way, Vice General Du, have you ever heard it?" ”

Xiaomeng smiled: "No! I didn't hear it. ”

"This?!" Yang Jie wondered: "Could it be that Ben General heard it wrong?!" ”

"You heard it wrong!" The remaining three spoke in unison.

"Oops!" Yang Jie patted his head with a smile, clasped his hands into fists and said to Fu Lin: "General Meng Haihan, the old man almost wronged the general." ”

Fu Lin waved his hand freely and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" The general is also the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, as it should be. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "I was happy with the emperor's Shengming in my heart, and I suddenly heard someone call the saint by his name, and I was angry for a while. Hehe, Prince An, in fact, the last general is here to report a good news. The Holy Lord has sent Dong Weiguo and Hilgen a total of 100,000 elite soldiers to support, and they will arrive at this division in the near future. And Wu Sangui has sent Xia Guoxiang to take over Gao Dejie's position, and is showing off his power in Nanchang. The last general came to discuss with Prince An the strategy of recovering the lost territory, and strive to capture Nanchang as soon as possible. ”

Prince An spread out the map, and the three discussed the strategy of attacking Nanchang. Xiaomeng was bored, and he was sleepy and tired, so he didn't say hello and went back to the cabin to rest.

A few days later, Dong Weiguo's 100,000 reinforcements arrived. The Qing army chose a smooth day, set off in full gear, went down the river, and captured Nanchang with lightning speed. Wu Jun Xia Guoxiang led his headquarters to retreat to Hunan in a panic, leaving only the deputy general Han Daren to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight to the death with the Qing army.

Although Han Daren was a loyal and brave general, it was a pity that he had no courage and no strategy, and at this time he made a wrong decision to flee to Jiujiang with most of his men and horses, where he collected ferries and planned to cross the Yangtze River to the north.

At this point, the Qing army and the Wu army were transferred to a position. Qing flags were planted all over Nanchang City, but the Wu army was defeated and went to the river to avoid trouble. However, the Qing soldiers chased and killed all the way, and there was no intention of stopping.

Hearing this, Fu Lin was overjoyed and said: "Han Daren is killing himself? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dong Weiguo asked.

Fu Lin said: "Most of the Wu soldiers are Yunnan soldiers, who are not accustomed to water and are not good at water warfare. Now if you want to force the Yangtze River, it is not beneficial to bring about your own death. We only need to send dozens of people who are good at water to infiltrate the Wu army, scuttle the ship, and then it will be effortless to wipe out the Wu army. ”

"Good plan." Yue Le praised: "It's just that these dozens of strange soldiers need to be good at water, and they must be brave and strategic, so it's not easy to find!" ”

Yang Jie said: "The last general has been guarding Jiujiang for many years, and it is not difficult to find a few people who are good at water. The difficulty is that it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Most of us are Han Chinese. Hey, although Wu Sangui was once a traitor, he was still a Han after all, and now he swore to drive the banner people out of the customs, and many Han people responded. The last general is afraid of picking people carelessly......"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Lin continued: "General Yang, don't worry, this task will be handed over to me, and I will definitely live up to my mission." ”

Yue Le exclaimed: "No. General Meng should not take risks. Besides, General Meng has always been good at riding and shooting, how can he ever be water-savvy? Don't! ”

Fu Lin said with a smile: "Prince An doesn't know, after a few years of separation, I have already learned the water nature, or did Vice General Du teach me!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaomeng beside him.

Xiaomeng didn't laugh this time, nor did he get proud, but worried: "No, even if you are water-sensitive, this is too dangerous." I won't let you go! ”

"That's it," Yue Le said hurriedly: "130,000 elite soldiers, is there no one available?" You can't take the risk yourself! This king disagrees, General Yang, go and pick people quickly, don't say much. If there are really those who oppose each other, we will be secretly on guard, and the loss will not be great, so it doesn't matter. ”

Yang Jie thought to himself, who is this General Meng? Why is even Prince An so nervous about him? However, Prince An gave an order, and he didn't dare to say much, and was about to take the order to leave, but was intercepted by Fulin.

"Prince An, you're thinking about a failed mission; But what if the mission is successful? We will annihilate 30,000 enemies in one fell swoop, gain the land of Jiujiang, and take advantage of the situation to enter Hunan. Prince An, I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more! I must do my best for the Qing Dynasty on the front line and fulfill my wish that has not been fulfilled for many years! Fu Lin's cold face represented the firmness in his heart.

Yue Le and Xiaomeng both knew his temper, so they looked at each other and reluctantly accepted this decision.

Before leaving, Xiaomeng told me a thousand times that he would return safely. For her, for the sake of the baby in the womb, I must come back. Fulin nodded vigorously.

Here, Yue Le and Yang Jie personally selected dozens of Qing soldiers who were good at water-based and loyal to the liver and courage, and set off at dusk with Fulin. They changed into the costumes of Wu soldiers, hid axes, and fled into the defeated Wu army in "embarrassment" amid the bluff pursuit of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing soldiers who had mixed into the Wu army dispersed on the ferry, and took advantage of the twilight to split up and scuttle the ferry. Fulin chiseled several ships in a row, and his body was immersed in the water, and the weather was cold and frozen, which was really a little unbearable. However, he still persevered until he poked out of the water, saw Wu soldiers rioting on the deck one after another, and shouted: "Entering the water, entering the water...... knowing that it had happened, he gave the signal.

Prince An and Dong Weiguo led the army to respond, and Yang Jie guarded the rear. Xiaomeng was not worried about Fulin, and clamored that he must come with him, but Prince An couldn't, so he had to take her on the warship with him.

The Wu army was indeed defeated, and the whole army was annihilated. Most of them were drowned by the ship. Yue Le's warship searched for Fu Lin everywhere. Holding a torch to illuminate the river, Xiaomeng stood by the boat and desperately called out to the river, until he called out tears, and there was no trace of Fulin.

Xiaomeng simply cried. Suddenly, his ankle was pinched by a wet hand, Xiaomeng screamed, looked down, and cried and laughed. It's a blessing. "Prince An, Prince An, come quickly! He's here. ”

Prince An was overjoyed and hurriedly called two personal soldiers to help pull Fulin onto the deck. Xiaomeng hugged the wet Fulin tightly, but Fulin struggled and hid.

"Hey, don't, I'm soaking wet, I'm going to wet your clothes, I'm going to catch a cold."

Xiaomeng pouted, wanting to hug it, while shouting numbly: "Baby, baby......" Yue Le was amused.

And the two pro-soldiers were dumbfounded, thinking that they had the habit of Longyang Jun, and their expressions were extremely weird.
