Chapter 63, the people who eat melons

"Your Majesty, your enemies don't look as stupid as you describe."

Fukangan was observing the position of the Ming army.

On the side of the Ming army, there was also a steady stream of information about the movement of the Qing army.

Napoleon said, looking at the message of his opponent coming from his hand.

"The general who led the army is named Fukangan, and he is one of the most capable generals under Qianlong..."

Zhu Daohua pursed his lips.

"So of course the other party is not stupid."

"The other side looks cautious, and they don't want to take advantage of the advantage of their strength without impatience."

Napoleon laughed.

"It seems that the fish has bitten the hook, but this is not enough, the opposite side only pushed his army of less than 50,000 to the gambling table.... What are the so-called regimental training soldiers, they should be the local big landlords in Guangdong, right? ”

"That's right, if only they all pressed it out together..."

Zhu Daohua said.

"To be honest, they have too much land under their hands, and if they surrender as soon as I arrived, I really don't think about what to do with it..."

"This is not a military solution, this is a political matter, my majesty."

Zhu Daohua rubbed his forehead.

He hasn't slept well these days.

Now the battle of Guangdong has reached a critical moment.

Both sides have already taken to the table.

Start pressing the chips...

How much can you win in the end.

No one could have predicted.

.........

The Qing army in the city of Guangzhou and the Ming army on the edge of the Pearl River just faced each other ten miles apart.

The topography of Guangdong basically belongs to the Pearl River Delta Plain surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The terrain around Guangzhou is relatively flat.

Therefore, the two sides can see the movement of the enemy troops on the opposite side from the watchtower of the camp.

Meanwhile.

The next day just after the sun had risen.

The surrounding Guangdong people in Dongguan, Shunde, Zengcheng and other places rushed to the south bank of the Pearl River opposite Huangpu to see the excitement that could not be caught up for hundreds of years.

The south shore is a little lower, but there are some small hills on the shore, so you don't have to wait for the view.

In February, Guangdong is the time of spring flowers.

These days are also very sunny days with very high visibility.

It's really perfect for watching the excitement.

In the morning, the sun came out to disperse the fog on the surface of the Pearl River.

People on the south bank can clearly see the military camps where the two sides are facing each other on the south bank.

"Why is the Ming army camp so small?"

"There are few people."

"So few people dare to rush to Huangpu, what a hero!"

"Anti-Qing and Mingming, aren't they all heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society."

The people talked and pointed fingers.

For the people.

They don't really care about who wins and who loses - whether the emperor is surnamed Zhu or Aixin Jueluo, he still farms and receives grain.

It makes no difference.

But for the local clans of Guangdong.

They have to care about this war.

These clans, who have a large amount of land in their hands and a large number of scholars in their clans, would make a mistake in this battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties, which seemed to be quite different in strength.

The consequences are quite serious.

In particular, they were forced to be the group training of the Qing Dynasty, and the young and strong clans were all pulled to the outskirts of Guangzhou.

If you are not careful, it will be the end of the death of the clan.

So although Fukangan urged these local broadmen in Guangdong to take Ding Zhuang with the army.

But most people are grinding and chirping, grinding and grinding, waiting for the Ming and Qing armies to confront each other.

Most of the clan group training only brought a small part of Ding Zhuang to the outskirts of Guangzhou to deal with errands.

Now these local tyrants have also sent people to the south bank to watch the battle.

Whoever wins, they help whom.

"It's... The number of people is too small, right? ”

A lean young man said with a frown.

"Brother Fang, the number of the army under the command of the king is a little less, but all of them are good men with one as ten, and the three thousand troops of the Ming King broke the 200,000 rebels of the Liu family and the alliance of the countries of Borneo!"

Talking was a young man in a gray cloth robe and a melon-skin hat.

"Luo Qianhu, is King Ming's army really so elite?"

"Elite is not elite, don't you look at it!"

The young man known as Luo Qianhu was named Luo Jiangong, and he was a child of the Lan Fang Luo family.

Now it is the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the task of coming to Guangdong this time is to contact the local Tiandi Hui heroes in Guangdong.

The name of "Brother Fang" is Fang Ke.

It is Fang Ke who opened a medical management hall and a martial arts hall in Zhaoqing, known as the iron hand of Zhaoqing.

He's not small.

His father's name is Fang Meiyu.

He also had an uncle named Fang Shiyu, who died young.

Fang Shiyu and Fang Meiyu are ranked among the "Shaolin Ten Tigers" in Guangdong.

Southern Shaolin was destroyed by the Qing army during the Shunzhi period, and his disciples were scattered in Guangdong.

Many Shaolin disciples are associated with heaven and earth.

The Fang family is no exception.

Although the Fang family in Zhaoqing did not open the altar.

But the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Hall and the Fang family on the Guangdong side have taken care of each other.

Besides.

The Fang family is also a big clan in Zhaoqing, and it also has some relationship with some big clans in Guangdong.

It can be eaten in both black and white.

It is the key contact object of Jinyiwei who infiltrated Guangdong.

The iron hand side stared at the sun and moon banner fluttering in front of him.

but his heart was crying bitterly.

Shouting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty every day is just the tradition of the people at the halls of heaven and earth on the road.

If you really want to say it, you must devote yourself to the cause of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

Wealthy people like Tie Shoufang are reluctant to do so.

The risk is too great.

But he didn't dare to offend Jinyiwei.

In Guangdong, there are also many halls of the Heaven and Earth Association in series, and they must respond to the call of King Ming and raise troops against the Qing Dynasty.

Among them, those with a background in the White Lotus Sect are the most active.

The followers attracted by the White Lotus Sect are basically low-level people.

Originally, he was very energetic for rebellion.

The White Lotus Cult has appeared since the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, in the Qing Dynasty, it seems that a lot of changes have taken place.

One of the biggest changes was the influence of anti-Qing and anti-Ming ideology.

The slogan also shouted "The white lotus blooms, Maitreya is born, the sun and the moon return, and the king of Ming is born".

Now King Ming really led his troops across the sea.

How did the incense masters of the White Lotus Sect not take this opportunity to publicize the "birth of the Ming King" to attract the congregation and strengthen their strength.

Of course, Fang Ke didn't believe in any "King Ming was born".

And the Qing Dynasty has no signs of extinction now.

It even looks quite powerful.

A few years ago, they also slaughtered the Jungar tribe.

There are heroes in Taiwan who will rise up in the Heaven and Earth Society.

It was also quickly suppressed.

There weren't any big waves at all.

Now King Ming only occupies one Lantau Island on the mainland....

How to confront the rich Qing Dynasty?

Fang Ke, who was crying bitterly in his heart, thought about slipping away.

But he looked at Luo Jiangong's waist with fear.

Fang Shiyu's nephew is naturally very capable of fighting, otherwise he would not have the nickname of "Iron Hand Fang" at a young age in the rivers and lakes.

To say that the two sides talk about fist and foot kung fu.

That Fang Ke was completely sure to defeat the other party.

But....

The opponent may have a short-barreled firearm on his waist, and a short-bladed blade on his calf's boot.

Fang Ke's fist and foot kung fu are no better.

was beaten, stabbed, and I was afraid that I would have to blow the lamp and pull out the wax...

Right now.

The drums beat suddenly.

"It's coming!"

The two craned their necks and looked across the river.
