"Grandpa, look, the Chuang Wang Banner on that boat has been lowered, it seems that the surname Li knows that he is at a loss!"

"The father is mighty, and in a few words, he scolded the king Li Zicheng without a face to hang the flag, it seems that the father will be able to win a big victory in this battle, and all the daughters of Huguang will congratulate their father!"

"The righteousness of heaven is in the king, the king's heavenly soldiers are bound to be invincible, the lake is wide and the river is east, and it will soon be owned by the king. Congratulations to the king! ”

"Huh? How did you raise another flag? ”

"Why do you still bring the flag to change the flag?"

"A different side. Loyal Flag? ”

The people on Wu Sangui's side saw that the big ship with the flag of the king lowered the flag, and began to give Wu Sangui high hats one by one. However, they couldn't send a few high hats, because after the big ship lowered the banner, it raised another flag of loyalty.

This loyal flag. Could it be that what kind of loyal king's banner is?

When the big guy was pondering, the loud voice on the boat roared again: "Wu Sangui on the other side listened, the forehead is the loyal king Li Laishun who was appointed by the king of the Ming Dynasty, and he was ordered by the king of the Ming Dynasty to guard the six mansions of Huguang and take Jiujiang and Anqing to the east to relieve the siege of Nanjing."

The six prefectures of Wuchang, Hanyang, Huangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and De'an are all sealed by the prison state, and the name is justified! Wu Sangui, what is the reason why you are so coercive to take it? Li Laishun didn't rob your Chen Yuanyuan."

"Bastard thing! How dare you"

As soon as Wu Sangui heard the other party mention "Chen Yuanyuan", he immediately couldn't help but scold.

This matter is a "can't be said" in Wu Sangui's camp, but Li Laishun, the king of the Ming Dynasty on the other side, doesn't care, he will be angry with Wu Sangui today, and it's good to be angry!

The big voice with a Shaanxi accent is starting to shout again!

"Wu Sangui listen, it was not the emperor's grandfather who robbed your house when Chen Yuanyuan went back to Y to humiliate him, but the general Liu Ruhou (Liu Zongmin), who has nothing to do with E, E, and Brother! None of them have slept with Chen Yuanyuan."

"The surname is Li, you, you" Wu Sangui was so angry that his face turned green!

But the other side still didn't care, and continued to make a lot of nonsense: "Actually, even if you have slept with it, there is nothing, Chen Yuanyuan is just your concubine, or from the Qinglou, what is this?" ”

"Okay, you Li Laishun." Wu Sangui clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "The old man has to cut you with a thousand knives!" ”

Li Laishun is still scolding over there!

"A while ago, the Tartar Emperor killed your grandson, robbed several of your daughters-in-law (Wu Yingxiong's concubines) and granddaughters, and gave them to his subordinates to humiliate them, which is a great shame! As a manly husband, you don't kill the Tartars to take revenge, but also come to grab the territory! Could it be that all of you who are traitors are the same as Fan Wencheng? Not ashamed, but proud? ”

"You, you, you" Wu Sangui's teeth were about to be crushed, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a naval army at hand, he would have ordered an attack a long time ago.

And Li Laishun at the other end was still fearless, and he was still angry with Wu Sangui there, only to hear a group of loud voices shouting: "In order to protect himself, I had to withdraw the soldiers and horses that attacked Jiujiang. Now Jie Shu is leading the Qing army in Jiujiang east into Nanjing, and he is going to kill His Royal Highness King Ding!

You old thief is simply disloyal and unjust, you are not worthy of being a Pingxi Bodude, and you even want to be the emperor, it is simply wishful thinking! ”

“.” Wu Sangui was so angry that he couldn't say anything, even if he could keep calm, he couldn't refute Li Laishun's accusations.

Can he say that he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and fights wholeheartedly for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty? Is this a deception to a three-year-old? No one believed it at all. If the big guys believe it, then the trouble will be even greater.

If Wu Sangui is not the emperor, what about the people under him? They followed Wu Sangui and pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers to do something rebellious? Don't you just want to be a wife and a son, and a founding hero?

If Wu Sangui doesn't open the country, what will happen to the heroes of the people?

So he must be emperor!

And if he wants to be the emperor, the best fate for the third prince of Zhu is Emperor Ming Xian, and if he is unlucky, he can only be the "King of Xiao Ming"!

Therefore, if the Qing army can break through the city of Nanjing, capture the third prince of Zhu and his henchmen and execute them, and then he will send troops to attack the Manchu Qing in the name of "revenge for Ming", and slaughter the Yellow Dragon, slaughter all the men surnamed Aixin Jueluo, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and finally doze off, and let the people below add a yellow dress to themselves, then it will be complete.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui had already calmed down, and he didn't get angry with Li Laishun, a little kid, but just snorted coldly and ordered: "Go and transfer a few red-clothed cannons to blow that broken boat away to the old man!" ”

After giving the order, Wu Sangui, who had lost the quarrel, turned around with a cold face, and then rode on a war horse brought to him by a personal guard, and under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, he ran towards a manor set up under the inner mountain.

The generals who followed him to the edge of the Han River to find the scolding of the generals and ministers and Kong Sizhen, Wu Xiaogang, Wang Jiqing and others were not interested in watching the red-clothed cannons fire anymore - basically they couldn't be hit, because the big camp under the inner mountain had not been repaired, the fort had not been repaired, and there was not even a camp wall on the edge of the Han River, but a fence was erected to block the charge of the intruding army landing infantry army. If you want to set up a cannon to bombard, as soon as the cannon is pulled out, it has not been set up, and the big oar-sail boat on the opposite side will slip away.

However, Wu Sangui still heard the sound of the cannon roaring in his own line as he wished.

Hearing the rumbling cannon, Wu Sangui's mood was finally a little more relaxed. However, my heart was relieved, but my head quickly hurt. Because he never thought that Li Zicheng, a thickly blind (blind) rough man from the northwest, had lived south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and actually learned the skills of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin - he would be able to fight a water war!

And what's even more troublesome is that Li Zicheng has become a "blind Zhou Yu", and he, Wu Sangui, doesn't even have a Jiangxia Huangzu in his hands - because Jiangxia County (Wuchang Fucheng) is now Li Zicheng's lair! Where did Wu Sangui go to find Huang Zu?

Also, where to build a ship is also a trouble? Now the most developed shipbuilding industry in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is Hankou Town under the control of Li Zicheng - Hankou Town is a shipping center! How convenient is it to build a ship and repair ships there? The second-class shipbuilding towns are Yuezhou and Jingzhou, which, unfortunately, are also Li Zicheng's territory!

Moreover, the wood used in shipbuilding usually has to be exposed to the sun and wind for two or three years or even longer, and if you use the wood you have just seen to build a ship, the ship will not be very strong and useless.

Therefore, it is not easy for Wu Sangui to win Li Zicheng by seizing the water control rights of the Yangtze River and Hanshui. However, if he can't get the right to make water from the Yangtze River and Hanshui for a while, it doesn't mean that Wu Sangui can't take out Li Zicheng.

It's just that a quick battle is unlikely, and it is estimated that it will take a while - Wu Sangui is not Cao Cao after all, he did not go south from the north, and now most of Hunan is already in his hands, and the Yangtze River is not a moat blocking him, but without the right to control water, it is inconvenient to quickly march troops and transfer grain and grass baggage. But Wu Sangui's army can still gnaw slowly city by city.

In addition, now that there are red-coated cannons with a long range, as long as you find some narrow places on the river and build a few forts on the bank, you can also strangle Li Zicheng's sailors.

In short, as long as Wu Sangui is willing to spend a year or two, he will still be able to gnaw away Li Zicheng's territory!

After pondering and understanding these things, Wu Sangui ordered someone to call Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong to his study, and then dictated two orders to Wu Yingqi and Wu Yingxiong.

"Lord Wang, do you want the prince to relieve the siege of Xi'an?"

"Lord Wang, it took great difficulty for the prince to besiege Kangxi, and now it is not a waste to withdraw the siege?"

After Wu Sangui dictated, Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong were stunned, and then they both raised objections.

Wu Sangui waved his hand and said, "The battle of Jinghu seems to be easy to fight. The old man can't spare his strength to support Guanzhong for the time being, and he doesn't have the strength to pass through the Central Plains, so Ying Xiong and Ying Qi can't be in a hurry. Especially Ying Xiong, he still has to take care of the land of Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Shangzhou, as long as Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Shangzhou are in hand, it is easy for us to fight Xi'an again when we want to.

And there have been some changes in Beijing recently, Yuwang Fuquan seems to want to usurp power and seize the throne, and he has already proclaimed himself regent. It's better to let Kangxi go first, and let him fight with Fuquan for a life-and-death match. This is the same as the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competing for the throne after Yuan Shao's death. When the time comes, let's pull one faction and fight another, and it will be difficult to win or not. ”

Wang Shirong also nodded and said with a smile: "The prince is really tall!" As soon as the siege of Xi'an is solved, Kangxi and Fuquan must be dog-eat-dog! The two of them want not to bite together, unless Shunzhi comes back to persuade them to fight! ”

Hu Guozhu smiled: "How is this possible? You can't be resurrected from the dead! ”

Wu Sangui nodded, "This matter is settled, you two discuss it and see how Shaanxi and Zhongzhou should be deployed." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, my lord, I think so."

Wu Sangui discussed with Hu Guozhu and Wang Shirong until the evening of the same day, and then finalized the final adjustment plan, and then he slept alone with a little dinner, and slept quite deeply, until the next day, when he was woken up by a eunuch who had been calling him for many years: "Lord, Lord, wake up quickly, Zhen Gege, Manager Hu, and Wang Junshi have urgent matters to see?" ”

"Urgent? What's the urgency? Wu Sangui asked in a daze.

"Lord Wang, Manager Hu said that Wang Fuchen's 30,000 troops suddenly appeared this morning, thirty miles south of Neifang Mountain, a new town on the edge of the Han River, and is now encamped!"

"What?" Wu Sangui woke up at once, sat up straight, and said in a lost voice: "Wang Fuchen has arrived in a new town? He. What does he want to do? ”

"Mr. Hu didn't mention it."

Wu Sangui didn't have time to talk to a minion, but said anxiously and quickly: "Quick, hurry up and wait for this king to change clothes!" ”

Wang Fuchen's 30,000 troops suddenly appeared on the south side of Wu Sangui's army, and the incident on the edge of the Han River was not a joke!

Wang Fuchen is now a vassal under Wu Sangui's name, and Wu Sangui should be clear about the dispatch of his army on the Jingzhou battlefield. If it were only one battalion and two battalions were transferred, it would be fine. That's an army of 30,000!

And quietly ran to the vicinity of Wu Sangui's army camp, this is going to be an "enemy in the inner mountain", Wu Sangui may be about to ascend to heaven!

Therefore, Wu Sangui did not dare to "snub" Wang Fuchen, an uninvited guest, and hurriedly gathered the generals and ordered Hu Guozhu to hold the camp in Neifang Mountain, while he personally led an army of 20,000, fully armed, pulled up cannons, carried muskets, and went south to meet Wang Fuchen.

Of course, I didn't forget to bring Kong Sizhen, Wang Jiqing, Wu Xiaogang and others. Maybe Wang Fuchen, the living Lu Bu and the Eight Ministers, didn't know that the guy from the Nine Ministers didn't have any bad intentions this time, but brought troops to help fight Li Zicheng

It still took a lot of time for the 20,000 troops to assemble and move, and it took a lot of time to march twenty or thirty miles, and when Wu Sangui led the army to rush to the vicinity of Wang Fuchen's military camp that had just been set up in the north of the new town, he found that the Han River on the side was full of Li Zicheng's warships.

It turns out that Li Zicheng is also here, and this time is really lively!

Three confronts!

What does Lu Bu want to do with this job?

"Wu, Wu Sangui is here? Virtuous nephew, you quickly send someone to your Ada camp and ask him to send troops together, let's have a land and water attack and annihilate the Wu thief in one fell swoop. In the future, the world will be our Li family! ”

On a large ship with 2,000 materials, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, also saw Wu Sangui's army from a distance, and he immediately asked people to find Wang Jizhen, who was in his army, and wanted to ask him to quickly inform Wang Fuchen to send troops to kill Wu Sangui, this is a godsend!

Wu Sangui's troops don't seem to be many, only about 20,000. And there are 20,000 troops on the water, and Wang Fuchen on the shore has 30,000.

This is the advantage of 50,000 to 20,000!

"Emperor, you misunderstood, my father didn't come to help you fight Wu Sangui." Wang Jizhen said with a smile on her face.

"What? It's not a help, does he want to help Wu Sangui make a forehead? Hearing this, Li Zicheng became anxious, and his old face gradually became a little hideous.

"No, no, no, where can this be?" Wang Jizhen hurriedly explained, "Emperor, don't worry. Eada and you are brothers! ”

"Yes, yes, the eighteen sons are the lord of the world!" Li Zicheng said, "Look at what this eighteen son is talking about, you Ada!" ”

Wang Jizhen didn't show the slightest interest in the "eighteen sons" and "nineteen sons", but said with a smile: "Emperor, you still don't know enough about Eada, although Eada is brave and champions of the three armies, but he is not aggressive in his life, but he is good at fighting!" ”

"What?" Li Zicheng was stunned, "You, are you Ada confused in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Do you really think of yourself as Lu Bu? ”

Wang Jizhen said with a smile: "Emperor, it doesn't matter if Eada is fascinated by watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the important thing is that he now has the ability to fight you and Wu Sangui!" ”

"What skills?" Li Zicheng asked, "Yuanmen shoots halberds?" ”

"Better than that!" Wang Jizhen shook her head, "Eada's skill is to shoot muskets!" ”

"Switched to shotguns? What's so powerful? Li Zicheng didn't buy it.

Wang Jizhen stretched out a finger and added a palm: "One hundred and fifty steps to hit the target!" ”

"One hundred and fifty steps to hit the target?" Li Zicheng was stunned, "Are you really so capable?" ”

"Impossible!" Li Zicheng's general, Hu Yigun, immediately said, "It is very difficult to hit the target a hundred steps away, and it is difficult to be blind at one hundred and fifty steps!" ”

"Don't be blind," Wang Jizhen said with a smile, "I must be able to fight, at least eight out of ten shots!" ”

Hu Yigun will be suspicious: "Nanwang's marksmanship is so powerful?" ”

Wang Jizhen shook his head and said, "Eada can hit a target two hundred steps away and hit a target in one hundred and fifty steps, which is the level of his personal musketeers!" There are at least three hundred such heroes! ”

Li Zicheng and Hu Yigun were both taken aback.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The musket hits a target a hundred and fifty paces away, and it will be eight out of ten!

In this era when rifled guns are not very common, that is a fierce man at the level of Lu Bu! There are three hundred such fierce men around Wang Fuchen. What is this concept?

Three hundred living Lu Bu!

One Lu Bu and Cao Cao still have a way to fight, and three hundred of them will go to the Tiger Prison together before the eighteen princes have to be cut to pieces!

This must be seen, if it is true, then it will not be easy to offend Wang Fuchen in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Okay, I want to see this living Lu Bu's ability!" ”

On the day after Wang Fuchen, Li Zicheng, and Wu Sangui, the three armies all gathered in the new town of Jingmen Prefecture on the bank of the Han River. Outside the new town, about a thousand cavalry were divided into three waves, each still a mile or two apart, and they looked at each other from a distance.

Among them, the cavalry just outside the new town also carried one or two hundred infantry, all of whom were working, each carrying one or two wooden targets, and swinging them one after another on the flat ground, and there were as many as three hundred.

The cavalry, which had been deployed outside the town, all turned over and dismounted, and then, with a flintlock pistol in hand, stood in a line a hundred and fifty paces from the target, loaded their bullets, and raised their rifles, and all aimed at their targets.

Wang Fuchen is not one of the three hundred "sharpshooters", he is only responsible for giving orders today. This is called a gentleman who does not move his hands!

Seeing that the sharpshooters below had already been aimed, he no longer waited, but shouted: "Fire!" Hit him N's! ”

With his order, the muzzles of the three hundred rifled guns burst into flames almost simultaneously, and almost at the same time, after a burst of gunfire, holes appeared on at least two hundred and fifty of the three hundred targets!
