Section 48 crosses the river and exterminates Shenlong Island

Li Bo's sudden change of flag was not only the last straw that overwhelmed the balance of the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also made Kangxi's previous efforts all go to waste, and he completely failed to achieve his strategic goal of opening a gap along the Yangtze River. In this regard, Kangxi was so angry that he was like thunder, but more of him was still deeply unwilling, and after ordering people to investigate many times, he learned that this Li Bofei was a bystander, it was the Jinyi Guard Eagle Guard No. 2, the Nighthawk Battalion Suppression Envoy.

Thinking about the past few years, Zheng Kezang was actively invited by Geng Jingzhong to FJ Province, and then annexed the entire FJ Province; to Zheng Kezang successfully provoked Shang Kexi's monk Zhixin, father and son to turn against each other, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman and captured GD Province; and then Mrs. Dong staged a coup d'état, but Zheng Kezang learned the information in advance, and then quelled the civil strife in one fell swoop; Until now, Zheng Kezang's troops have taken the two provinces of SC and HN, as well as the state capitals of HB province south of the Yangtze River. All of this has the shadow of the Brocade Guard, and it also plays a vital role.

Kangxi was afraid of the Eagle Guard of the Jinyi Guard, but also concluded that in his Qing Dynasty, there must also be an Eagle Guard lurking, and the level was not low, so he immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Kangxi's efforts were not in vain, although he did not dig out the eagle guards lurking in his Qing Dynasty, but he still locked the target of suspicion within a certain range. It must be known that whether it is Qian Liang lurking beside Geng Jingzhong, Zhao Di lurking beside Shang Zhixin, or Li Bo lurking beside Wu Sangui, the time of their appearance is traceable, and the difference is only three or two months. However, although the target of this suspicion is locked within a certain range, the number of people is not small. If all these people are killed, not to mention that they will kill innocents by mistake, you must know that many of these people are pillars, Kangxi is really unwilling to kill one person, and it will make people panic in the government and the opposition. For this reason, Kangxi will have to temporarily install these people in nominal positions, or appoint them as officials in inconsequential places far away from the Central Plains battlefield, in order to see the after-effects.

With the defeat of Wu Shifan, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty completely disappeared, and its original territory was divided between Zheng Kezang and Kangxi. Of course, due to the early layout and arrangement, Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty took the lion's share, taking over the four provinces of Guiyang and SCHN, as well as the state capitals of HB Province south of the Yangtze River. At this point, Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty and Kangxi's Qing Dynasty and Gejiang were opposed. Although both sides deployed heavy troops at the borders of the provinces bordering their territories to take precautions, they both coincidentally concentrated their main forces on the border of Huguang and Guangzhou, intending to use this place as a breakthrough point to seize the opportunity for the conquest of the two dynasties. For this reason, not only did the Qing court frequently mobilize troops and horses, but Zheng Kezang also rearranged the provinces under his command.

Jinyiwei, as Zheng Kezang's most valued violent institution, did not disappoint him, and made great contributions in the previous campaign. However, it is inevitable that his authority will become bigger and bigger, and in the end it will not be controlled, and he will follow in the footsteps of the late Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Kezang will naturally use some means to control it. The wolf guard is better to say, and all of them have been turned into Ouchi guards and forbidden troops before; However, although the Eagle Guard is small in number, it has great power and responsibility, and if something happens, the harm will be even deeper. For Eagle Guard, the first thing Zheng Kezang did was to reduce the power in his hands, so that he only had the power to investigate and arrest, but not the right to judge, let alone cut first; Later, Zheng Kezang set a national policy, and successively served as the commanders of each battalion of the Eagle Guard, and the term of office should not exceed five years, and once the five-year term expired, it was necessary to completely break away from the Eagle Guard, in case the Eagle Guard was too deeply involved by a few people, and became a private soldier who used power for personal gain in the hands of a few people.

Now, the terms of office of the Eagle Guards of the four battalions of Nighthawk, Dark Eagle, Falcon and Dark Eagle have long exceeded the five-year term, and they are bound to leave the Eagle Guard and be sent to serve elsewhere. Li Bo, Zhao Di, Qian Liang, and Sun Lei are all rare talents, and now that it is time to employ people, Zheng Kezang must of course use them heavily. When Gu Ren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was seriously ill and could no longer handle the important military and political affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zheng Kezang took the opportunity to reappoint the governors of various places.

appointed Sun Lei as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, acting as the military and political affairs of the two provinces of YNGZ; Qian Liang was appointed as the Governor of Liangguang and acted as the military and political affairs of the two provinces of GDGX; Zhao Di was appointed as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, acting as the military and political affairs of the two provinces of FJZJ; And Zhao Di is the most capable of fighting well, and during the period of lurking under Wu Sangui, he was the prime minister of the local military and political power alone, so he was entrusted to him by Zheng Kezang to the SC Province bordering the Qing court, and was appointed as the governor of SC, acting in charge of the military and political affairs of SC Province, strictly preventing the sneak attack of the Qing court, and containing and coercing the main force of the Qing army in HB Province; Liu Zhibin, the governor of Liangjiang, remained unchanged in his powers and responsibilities, and also shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding against the sneak attack of the Qing court, and containing and coercing the main force of the Qing army in HB Province; Wu Liuqi, the former governor of Liangguang, was transferred to the governor of Huguang, acting as the state capital south of the Yangtze River in HN Province and HB Province, and was fully responsible for presiding over the confrontation with the main force of the Qing army across the river.

Time flies, and several years have passed in a blink of an eye, whether it is Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty or the Qing court, they are all seizing the time to recuperate and accumulate strength for the protracted war in the future. But in the past few years, the land of Huguang has been lively, wars are frequent, the Qing court and Wu Liuqi have their own magical powers, you sing and I will come to the stage, and from time to time sneak attack each other, but to this day, no one has gotten any bargain. But on the whole, the situation in the world is still relatively stable, except for the land of Huguang, other provinces are also calm.

Seeing that the national strength of the Great Zheng Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the combat power of the army has long been restored to the old view, and it is not a long-term solution to fight against the Qing court across the river for a long time. On this day, Zheng Kezang, as usual, looked at the national map hanging on the wall in the imperial study, thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy. This stay was more than half a day, until Chen Yan'er, who finished sorting out the information sent back by Eagle Guard, arrived, Zheng Kezang was still at a loss.

Chen Yan'er persuaded softly: "Lord Wang, you have been standing for more than half a day, let's rest first, the strategy to break the enemy is not something that can be thought of in the past two days." "Hey......" Zheng Kezang sighed lightly, did not refuse Chen Yan'er's concern, sorted out his slightly irritable mood, and said with a smile: "Aifei, this semi-monthly intelligence sorting work is hard enough for you, tell me, what is the good news?"

Chen Yan'er frowned slightly, and said: "There is no good news, but the news just came from Yangzhou, saying that your little brother Wei Xiaobao is really bold enough, and he slept with six women in one night, including Chen Ke who appeared there for some reason, and one woman turned out to be Su Quan, the wife of the sect leader of the Shenlong Sect Hong Antong. "Oh?" Zheng Kezang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Wei Xiaobao still returned to his original trajectory after going around and around, and asked with a smile: "What happened then?" Hong Antong may not let go of Xiaobao, right? Xiaobao, is he okay? Chen Yan'er replied: "The officers and soldiers stationed in Yangzhou got the news from the Eagle Guard, and the rescue was timely, Wei Xiaobao was fine, but he was a little frightened, and then there were two women who were arrested by Hong Antong." Moreover, Hong Antong doesn't seem to know that he has been given a big green hat by Wei Xiaobao. I estimate that in just a few days, your little brother will come to you for help......"

"Shenlong Island, Shenlong Island......" Zheng Kezang muttered in a low voice, quickly came to the map, searched for the location of Shenlong Island, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Great!" Aifei, come and see, this Shenlong Island is only less than three days away from Fengtianfu; And there are countless small islands around Shenlong Island, which can be used as a springboard for our surprise attack on Fengtianfu......" Chen Yan'er was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Kangxi's investigation back then, No. 1 was also among Kangxi's suspicions, and was assigned to the remote Fengtianfu, after several years of operation, the entire Fengtianfu has been firmly controlled in his hands, but I didn't expect it to become the key to the prince's next plan, it is really God help me Dazheng." ”

Zheng Kezang muttered: "Then we really have to prepare well, the Divine Dragon Sect is not so easy to take." It must be known that there are countless masters of the Shenlong Sect, and Hong Antong is a great master in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his martial arts are the first in the world. Chen Yan'er said: "Moreover, this attack on Shenlong Island, we must sit until nothing goes wrong, and we must not let it escape, so as not to leak the rumors, which will be very detrimental to our future plans." Zheng Kezang's eyes flickered, and he said categorically: "On this trip, this king will bring his father-in-law, master, and Lao Hu, as well as all the masters of the Eagle Guard." This king doesn't believe it, together with our four masters in the early days of the day after tomorrow, he can't take him Hong Antong alone. Then, he frowned slightly, and hesitated: "It's just that, in this way, will the movement be too big and arouse the suspicion of the Qing court?" ”

When Chen Yan'er heard this, she also fell into deep contemplation, and said after a long time: "The concubine will release the news, and the prince intends to increase the number of Eagle Guards, so he will go to Taiwan with the top masters in the DPRK to test the results of the hard training of the Eagle Guard Reserve and give guidance. Zheng Kezang hesitated a little, but finally nodded and agreed with Chen Yan'er's method, and said: "In this way, although it will expose the location of the Eagle Guard's base camp, this is a way that cannot be done, and it can indeed attract the attention of people all over the world, so do as you say." ”

On the same day, Chen Yan'er released a rumor, saying that Zheng Kezang was very satisfied with the performance of the Eagle Guard, but as the territory became larger and larger, only four battalions of Eagle Guard, there were already some insufficient numbers, so it was decided to add another battalion of Eagle Guard, so it was decided to personally lead Chen Jinnan, Liu Guoxuan and Hu Yizhi, the three top masters of the day after tomorrow, to go to the training camp of the Eagle Guard in Taiwan in the near future, inspect the training results of the Eagle Guard Reserve, and give guidance from the aspect of martial arts. And then, Zheng Kezang just needs to wait for Wei Xiaobao to come for help.

Three days later, Wei Xiaobao came to the door with Shuang'er, Zeng Rou and Ake, crying and shouting and begging Zheng Kezang to help save his wife, which made Zheng Kezang and Chen Yan'er cry and laugh, and their heads were as big as a fight, so they had to nod their heads and accept it. Later, under Wei Xiaobao's repeated urging, on the second day, Zheng Kezang, together with Chen Jinnan, Liu Guoxuan and Hu Yizhi, only brought 5,000 internal guards and boarded more than 20 warships led by Shi Lang. Of course, nearly 100 masters of the Eagle Guard had already quietly boarded the battleship the night before, unnoticed by anyone else. Zheng Kezang's trip this time, everything seems to be so normal, and he didn't bring more soldiers and horses, coupled with Chen Yan'er's foreshadowing before, it really didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

The fleet, composed of more than 20 warships, sailed on the endless sea for more than half a month, and Shenlong Island was already in sight. In the handsome cabin of the main ship, Shi Lang opened the file he was carrying, took out a large map, spread it on the table, pointed to a small island in the sea, and said, "This is Shenlong Island." Everyone saw that a red circle had been drawn on Shenlong Island on the map, and three red arrows pointed to the red circle from the east, south, and north directions. Just listening, Shi Lang continued: "According to the opinion of the last general, we divided our troops into three routes, attacking from the east of the island, the south of the island and the north of the island, leaving the west of the island all the way without attacking. After the three-way cannon bombardment, the Shenlong Sect bandits on the island will definitely not be able to resist it, and they will definitely fall into the sea from the west of the island and flee, and we will ambush men and horses and warships on this small island and sea not far from the west of the island. As soon as the bandits escaped, they would bombard him for a while, and then cover up, and they would definitely wipe out all the bandits on Shenlong Island. Everyone nodded in unison and applauded Shi Lang's clever plan.

It was night, and according to Shi Lang's plan, everything had been arranged. At the third watch, the "rumbling" artillery roared, and the entire Shenlong Island was blown up to thick smoke, the flames soared into the sky, and there were faint boiling voices and miserable shouts along the sea breeze. At the fifth watch, there was a faint voice from the west of Shenlong Island, and hundreds of people from Shenlong Island who were driven away by artillery fire and fled in embarrassment rushed towards the small island where Kezang and others were ambushed. But they were greeted by another intensive artillery bombardment. The masters of Shenlong Island, who had no way out, had to grit their teeth and rush towards the island with their heads bored, this was their only way to survive. By the time they reached the island, they had lost nearly half of their numbers.

The masters of Shenlong Island finally rushed to the island, and before they had a chance to breathe, they were shot by a dense burst of crossbow arrows. So far, the dozens of remaining masters of Shenlong Island are all real masters including Hong Antong, Xu Xueting, Zhang Danyue, and Rootless Daoren, as well as a group of female dependents including Su Quan, Mu Jianping and Fang Yi, the sect leader's wife who is protected by him. Among them, Hong Antong's martial arts are the highest, and they have reached the pinnacle of the middle of the day after tomorrow, Xu Xueting, Zhang Danyue and the three of Wugendao are also well-known first-class masters.

Inevitably shot with crossbow arrows again, it is likely to hurt Mu Jianping and Fang Yi's two daughters, Zheng Kezang, Chen Jinnan, Liu Guoxuan and Hu Yizhi, the four top masters, took the lead, leading the nearly 1,000 masters of the Ouchi guards and the eagle guard to surround and kill the remnants of Hong Antong and others.
