"Shang Kexi listened to the edict of the Son of Heaven to beg for you, and he was not caught yet!"

"Shang Kexi, we are edicted to ask for you!"

"Edict against thieves! Kill the thief."

"Bang Bang Bang"

On the battlefield of Xiaolan Ferry, this morning is really lively, the sound of waving flags and shouting is almost overshadowing the sound of flintlock guns firing, except for the people on the Shang family's side, other people, whether it is the people of the Wang family, or the Cantonese people who are watching the excitement, are tearing their throats and shouting "Feng Zhao begging for thieves"!

This shouting has almost surpassed the flintlock pistol in the blow to the morale of the Shang family's army!

This is probably because the heart is attacking the upper and the thief is weak - the people over there are still people over there, whether they are the banner soldiers of the domain or the green battalion soldiers, all of them have no "ism", and they only know that they are working hard for the Shang family and the Qing Emperor. Therefore, when they learned that the Shang family was going to send troops to attack the governor of Liangguang, they were already uneasy in their hearts.

The king of Pingnan sent troops to fight the governor of Liangguang, alas, this thing should not be!

They are all from the Qing Dynasty, why did they fight?

At least one of them is a thief, right? Otherwise, both sides are loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and they can't fight.

Since at least one of the parties is a thief, who is more like a thief? Wang Fuchen or Shang Kexi?

I'm afraid to ponder this thing, and the more I ponder, the more wrong it is, how to ponder, it seems that Shang Kexi is more thief.

If the war goes smoothly, it's okay, but once the fight doesn't go well, the hearts of the people below will be even more empty, and they are afraid that they will be buried with Shang Kexi, an old thief!

Now this war is not going well, it can be said that it is not good! A small ferry port gnawed for most of the day, and more than a thousand casualties were not defeated, and he was ambushed. Looking at the firepower density of this shotgun, there are probably thousands of enemy troops ambushed in Xiaolan Village, right?

Moreover, the shotguns of the Wang family army looked numerous and fierce, and the Shang family army and the green battalion soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down one by one, and the casualties were called a heavy one!

In this case, suddenly there are people everywhere shouting "Edict to ask for you", can Shang Kexi's banner soldiers and green battalion soldiers who are familiar with (listening) to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" not panic? Can the mentality not collapse?

Not only did they panic, but even Shang Zhixiao and Li Yan panicked.

The two of them are also weak-hearted! Although they all thought that Wang Zhongxiao's things in Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning counties were enough to rebel. But what about themselves? Sending troops to attack the army under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangguang without asking for an order, and sending troops under the condition that the Governor of Liangguang was ordered to send troops to Guangxi, is this not a rebellion?

This kind of behavior can be compared with the landlord's powerful land, tearing down the border wall of coastal relocation, and forming a 20,000-strong township army!

Therefore, it seems natural for Emperor Xiao Mazi to issue an edict to crusade against the Shang family. It's just that this edict against thieves came faster? At this speed, it's too late to fly for 800 miles!

As soon as Shang Zhixiao and Li Yan thought that something was wrong, the slogan of "begging for thieves" came from their left and right like a tsunami. The two of them hurriedly turned their heads to look over, only to find that two long snake formations with wide fronts did not know when they appeared on their left and right wings!

These two long snake formations were made up of shotgunners and pikemen, the shotgunmen were in the center, excluding a very dense formation, and their shotguns also had knives loaded with muzzles, which glittered in the sun, and they looked a little mad.

In addition, those shotguns look a little strange, as if they are not lit with a fire rope! Are they all "self-generated muskets"?

Before they could recover from the horror of being outflanked on both flanks, the situation on the front of the battlefield changed again. The shotgunners who had just been ambushed in Xiaolan Village and the woods on both sides of the village also rushed out at this time, and quickly formed a "long snake formation" on the paddy fields and official roads outside the village! The Guangdong township soldiers who pretended to be defeated before also turned over and came back, following behind the "one-word long snake formation", a large area of Wuyang, all of them were soldiers with red scarves on their heads, and they were all shouting loudly "Obey the edict to beg the thief"!

The Shangjia banner soldiers and green battalion soldiers on the battlefield did not have the courage to confront the enemy on the three bread sandwiches, and when they looked around, there was a tragic situation of defeat everywhere. The red front formed by the Guangdong township soldiers became tighter and tighter, and while advancing, they used an astonishing platoon of guns to drive away the panicked Shang family army and the green battalion soldiers, and the flags of the deputy commanders, deputy generals, staff generals, staff leaders, and guerrillas fell one after another, and the Shang family soldiers and green battalion soldiers wearing red tasseled hats saw the crowd tumbling and collapsing down like an ant's nest in water.

Shang Zhixiao hadn't reacted yet, the Li rot beside him would be rotten, and when he saw that the signs were wrong, he turned the horse's head silently, and took his own soldier Goshha to pay respect.

"Second master, Li Junmen has run away!"

"Second master, let's run too!"

"Second master."

Shang Zhixiao's personal soldiers and Goshha reacted relatively quickly, and when they saw Li Rotten running away, they all shouted to remind Shang Zhixiao to run, and seeing that this Shang Erye did not react, a Goshha leader simply pulled up the reins of Shang Zhixiao's war horse and ran towards Xiaolan Ferry.

Shang Zhixiao was dragged to the ferry like this, he didn't run alone, there were people around him carrying his "Three Armed Forces Commander" flag and "All Commanders Flag"!

In this year, the generals had to carry the banner and golden drum when they commanded the battle, and wherever the generals went, they would go to the flag and recognize the flag. Therefore, once the flag and flag disappear or run away, the people below will at least shake the morale of the army, and now in this situation, it will collapse directly.

On the battlefield, for a while, it was "defeated!" Defeated! The loud shout, the panic and hustle and bustle, swept from outside Xiaolan Village to the north bank of Xiaolan Waterway!

There was also a ferry on the north bank of the Xiaolan Waterway, and Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan still left two or three thousand people there, and they saw the great rout on the south bank, and when they heard "defeated, defeated" and "edicted to beg for thieves", they also fell into a panic. And near the ferry, there are many Shunde people watching the excitement, some people are there to make a loud noise, and some are running to their own village - you have to hurry up to report the news, Shang Kexi this old thief is finished!

The sky in Guangdong is about to change!

Shang Zhixiao finally rushed to the edge of the dock of Xiaolan Ferry under the protection of his own soldier Goshha, which was already in chaos, and the two boats moored on the side of the pier were already crowded with defeated soldiers who ran faster than Shang Zhixiao.

One of the boats had been grabbed by Li Rot's people and was slowly leaving the dock, and the other boat was already in a mess because it was crowded with people and there was no one to command, and it couldn't leave the dock at all, and it was still staggering and looking like it was about to overturn.

The Goshha leader under Shang Zhixiao was a ruthless man, so he simply drew his bow and arrows and shouted: "Get off the boat quickly, let the second master go first!" ”

While shouting, start shooting arrows!

The other Shang Zhixiao's Goshha and his own soldiers were also unambiguous, and they all picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the ferry!

The archery skills of these people are still very good, the sharp arrows swept like raindrops, swept down the rows of people crowded on the ferry, all of them fell into the water, the ferry boat was immediately empty, Shang Zhixiao was then led onto the ferry, a group of fierce gods and evil Goshha and his own soldiers also followed, with the spear and short knife in their hands to row desperately, the boat slowly rowed to the north shore.

When the Shang family soldiers and the green battalion soldiers on the dock saw this scene, they couldn't help but scold angrily.

"The surname is Shang, you are not a thing! Flee first, and kill your own people."

"Shang Zhixiao, you are not soft on killing your own people!"

"None of the people with the surname Shang are human, they should all be killed"

"M's, the surname Shang is the anti-thief!"

"That's right! They are thieves. All of them should be killed! ”

"Let's surrender the royal army!"

"Surrender, surrender."

"Wang Zhijun, we have surrendered!"

Shang Zhixiao has not yet arrived on the north shore, and Xiaolan Wharf is already shouting "down"! Even if they didn't shout surrender, they didn't dare to fight anymore, but they lost their weapons, took off their armor, and began to swim across the river.

For a time, in the Xiaolan waterway, there were all braided heads.

This is no longer a defeat like a mountain, but a landslide!

Where does Shang Zhixiao, who returned to the north bank of Xiaolan Waterway, still have the heart of war? Run away

The sky in the inner city of Guangzhou is about to fall!

It has not completely collapsed, because the news of the fiasco in the Battle of Xiaolan has not yet reached Guangzhou.

However, Chen Shikai, the chief soldier of the Humen Naval Division, had fled back to Guangzhou with the remnants of Humen Town, and also reported the bad news that Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai were begging for the edict and the soldiers were coming.

Now Guangzhou is empty, and the main forces are fighting with the Guangdong township soldiers of the Wang family on the side of Xiangshan, and they can't pull it out for a while. The Humen sailors suffered a crushing defeat in Lingdingyang, and Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai were about to drive along the Pearl River waterway.

How good is that?

On the nine halls of the Pingnan Palace, Shang Kexi, who was already half-blind, put on a cloth armor that he had not worn for many years, and sat on the throne with a waist knife in his hand, looking like he wanted the king to drive the expedition himself.

I don't know if I want to go to Chaozhou or Shaozhou?

Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Guangdong, Fu Honglie, the prefect of Guangzhou, Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's military division, and Shang Kexi's sons, Shang Zhilian, Shang Zhisheng, Shang Zhizuo, Shang Zhiguang, Shang Zhiyu, and Shang Kexi's two old brothers, Shang Cute and Shang Cola, all rushed here in a hurry, where are they gossiping to pay attention to Shang Kexi!

"Lord Wang, the city of Guangzhou is strong, and there are more than 100,000 people in the city, among them, there are 10,000 or 20,000 who can still defend it!"

"Amma, hurry up and transfer Xiangshan's second brother back. The second brother took away all the elite soldiers under the domain, as long as the second brother's soldiers came back, Guangzhou would be impregnable! ”

"Amma, let's make peace! Wu Siye and Ao Taishi can give them whatever they want, as long as they don't want Guangzhou."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's make peace! Now the world looks like it's going to be surnamed Wu."

"Old Five, what nonsense are you talking about? You're a rebellion! ”

"Lao Jiu, our Ama have sent troops to attack the governor of Liangguang. Not a rebellion yet? ”

"How can the Governor of Liangguang rebel? This governor of Liangguang is not the emperor! ”

"This is rebellion!"

"No, it's not a rebellion"

Shang Kexi's sons would have come up with ideas, and they actually brought the topic to the issue of "rebellion qualitative"! If he heard that he was still happy, he would not fight anywhere, he was so loyal to the Qing Dynasty, how could he rebel? Even if he sent troops to fight Wang Fuchen, it could not be characterized as a rebellion. Because it was Wang Fuchen who rebelled first - he and his son shared the land, built private soldiers, changed the official system, and cut off taxes, all of which were rebellions!

"Say no more! He M," Shang Kexi, who became more and more angry the more he thought about it, roared angrily and cut off the sons who were arguing, "You unfilial things, your Ama is going to rebel, you can have a good end!" ”

was yelled at by him like this, and the people below didn't dare to squeak, but just looked at Shang Kexi timidly.

"Boss, boss!"

Shang Kexi shouted twice, but no one answered, and after a while, he heard Shang Kexi's second brother Shang Cute's voice ringing: "Fourth, your eldest didn't come." ”

"Didn't come? The sky is going to fall, and he still won't come? Shang Kexi became even more angry when he heard this, "Fourth, fourth, you bring a few people to bring your eldest brother to me!" ”

The "fourth" that Shang Kexi called is of course not himself, but his fourth son, Shang Zhijie.

But no one paid attention to him, and after a while, he heard the human: "Amma, the fourth brother didn't come either." ”

Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment, and already felt that something was wrong, "What about the old twelve, the old fourteen?" Is it coming? ”

"Didn't come"

"What?" Shang Kexi immediately knew that something was wrong.

Shang Kexi has a lot of sons, but not every one of them leads soldiers, there are not so many soldiers to bring to them, only Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao, Shang Zhijie, Shang Zhiying and Shang Zhihuang, the five sons are leading soldiers.

Now Shang Zhixiao is leading the troops outside, and the four sons of the soldiers in Guangzhou actually did not come to attend the meeting of the Nine Palaces. What do they want to do? What are you doing?

When Shang Kexi knew that it was not good, someone outside the hall suddenly shouted: "The prince is not good, the prince. The second master was defeated! ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, and saw that Li Lan, the governor of Guangdong, was supported by two or two personal soldiers, and even jumped into the hall with a rolling belt, this guy shouted "not good" in his mouth, and his appearance was not good, his face was covered with sweat and cement water, his coat was already soaked, and his hat did not know where he went, and after rushing in, he fell to the ground and cried: "Lord, Lord, we were defeated by Wang Fuchen."

"Wang Fuchen?"

"What? Didn't he go to beat Sun Yanling? ”

There was an exclamation in the hall.

"He, he didn't go to fight Sun Yanling!" Li Yan said in a somewhat hoarse and crying voice, "Lord Wang, then Wang Fuchen has sent an edict to lead troops to crusade against you!" He led an army of 20,000 or 30,000 to set up an ambush at Xiaolan Ferry, and gave us a half-ferry and defeated us! The second master and the last general fought to the death, and the second master was cleaning up the remnants of the army, and asked the last general to come to Guangzhou to report the news first, Wang Ye, you have to get an idea quickly! ”

"Huh? He, he, he" Shang Kexi couldn't hold back now, "This can't be!" The old man is full of enthusiasm for the Qing Dynasty! The old man has done so many things for the Qing Dynasty, killed so many people, and offended the whole of Guangdong, why did the emperor listen to the slander of Wang Fuchen's traitorous minister? ”

"Lord Wang." Zhu Guozhi was also frightened by this news, if Wang Fuchen was edicted to please Shang Kexi, then he and Shang Kexi mixed together, is it considered a thief? This is to destroy the Nine Clans!

He stammered and said, "Still, let's hurry up and ask my grandfather to discuss countermeasures!" ”

Shang Kexi was already sitting on the throne, nodded, and just wanted to let his brother "old cutie" Shang Lovely go to invite Shang Zhixin, but Li Yan interjected again: "No need to invite, I have already arrived at the palace with the fourth, twelfth, and fourteenth masters." ”

"Arrived?" Shang Kexi was stunned.

Li Yan nodded: "I saw them when I came in. They are leading their own soldiers into the house! ”

"What? Leading the pro-soldiers into the house? Shang Kexi was taken aback, "What do they want to do?" Where have they been? ”

"It's almost time to get to the Nine Palaces"

As soon as Li Yan's words fell, several palace guards guarding outside the Nine Palaces had already rushed in, and one of them was still shouting: "Prince, Prince, something is wrong, the prince of the world, the fourth master, the twelfth master, and the fourteenth master have come to the Nine Palaces with troops."

"Phew! Bang! ”

Two gunshots rang out immediately, and then Shang Zhixin's loud voice: "Don't be afraid, Amma, the child's letter is filial, and the child leads the troops into the house, and he is here to be a filial son!" ”

Be a filial son? When you bring filial piety, right?

The people in the hall are speechless, are filial sons like this now?

was speechless, Shang Zhixin was already carrying two handguns, with three stubborn brothers and a vote of personal soldiers, and came in from outside with a menacing attitude, followed by Shi Li Tianzhi, the head of the palace.

"You, what do you want to do?" Shang Kexi asked loudly.

"I'll be a filial son!" Shang Zhixin replied, "Amma, didn't Li Junmen tell you?" The emperor has issued an edict to you. You have been attacked by the imperial court, how can you be a prince? Do you want to rebel? ”

"Me, I, I"

Shang Kexi had nothing to say for a while, he was all defeated, can he still be a prince? Definitely not! Unless there is a rebellion!

"Amma, since you can't be the prince anymore, who will be the prince?" Shang Zhixin patted his chest, "That's just me!" I am the son of the world, or I am the father. I can only be the prince! Amma, don't worry, I am a filial son, and I will never let you end! I will play a concert for the emperor right away, and ask him to spare your life! ”
