Chapter 70: The Decisive Battle! Decisive battle!

Just when the Daming Jinyi Guard was intensively contacting the Tiandihui, the White Lotus Sect and other halls in various parts of Guangdong.

March 9.

Dozens of large bird boats entered from the mouth of the Pearl River.

More than 7,000 people from the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade of the Ming Army, two artillery battalions of the howitzer battalion and the large-caliber mortar battalion, totaling 38 large-caliber howitzers, 73 large-caliber mortars, and hundreds of gunners, as well as more than 10,000 civilian men accompanying the army landed in Huangpu.

Of course, such an action could not be concealed, and the commander of the Qing army, Fukangan, who was stationed a few miles away and confronted the Ming army with strong trench fortifications.

"There are a lot of people, at least more than fifteen thousand people, and dozens of cannons have been moved off the ship, it seems that the reverse Ming does not intend to continue to consume, they can't hold their breath!"

Sun Qijiao's voice was a little excited.

Daming Jinyiwei's actions are already office enlightenment.

Since most of the Guangdong green battalion soldiers were pulled to the vicinity of Guangzhou.

The garrison forces in the surrounding Dongguan, Shunde, Zhaoqing, Qingyuan, Huizhou and other places are relatively empty, and now some of the halls of the Heaven and Earth Society have even openly waved the Sun and Moon Flag.

Delay any longer.

Maybe Zhu Daohua's silver dollar offensive will continue.

Half of Guangdong will have to change color.

In the face of such an opponent, Fukangan is indeed quite a headache - throughout the ages, there are basically no thieves who are richer than Zhu Daohua, anyway, Fukangan didn't expect it.

Therefore, although Fukangan is still determined to keep an eye on Zhu Daohua's main force in Huangpu, it is impossible to say that he is not worried about the situation in other parts of Guangdong.

Now the Ming army is increasing its troops.

At least illustrate...

Zhu Daohua is not ready to drag!

The decisive battle between the two sides will soon begin.

And this time it was the main attack of the Ming army, and the Qing army relied on the fortifications to defend.

In the case of going on the defensive.

This battle... There are some odds of winning.

However, Fukangan did not support the university, but was still transferring troops.

The Green Battalion garrison from all over the country was drawn from the elite and strong, and at the same time, 20,000 Green Battalion soldiers were transferred from Guangzhou to supplement the Huangpu Battalion.

In the Whampoa camp, almost 90,000 soldiers and horses were gathered.

That's almost all the mobile forces that Fu Kangnan can draw at his disposal—unless he transfers all his forces to Whampoa, regardless of the defenses of the rest of Guangdong.

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the Qing army will be surrounded.

Ninety thousand, is already the limit.

There was a green battalion of 10,000 garrisons in the city of Guangzhou, which was dispatched by Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong.

The rest of the forces were all concentrated in the hands of Fukangan.

Rely on absolute superiority in troops, rely on strong fortifications.

Fukangan has regained some self-confidence a little.

"If Reverse Ming dares to come, Ben Shuai will let him meet in front of the military village and break the blood!"

.........

Just when both sides were deploying troops to fill the small place of Huangpu.

The people in Guangzhou are already panicking.

"Have you heard, Master Fu has prepared an army of 100,000 people, and he is going to make peace with Huangpu... The Ming army will fight to the death! ”

"It seems that the number of Ming troops on the other side is only one or two thousand, and Lord Fu has almost 100,000 troops on hand, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't you know? Now is the time when the Ming army is less than 10,000 and invincible. ”

"The Ming army is less than 10,000, and it is invincible when it is full of 10,000?"

"Haven't you heard? A few days ago, the two sides fought for the first time, and oh, Yang Liufang's decrepit ghost led 3,000 people, and was defeated by 200 people. ”

"Shhhh Shhh ”

"What are you afraid of, Qing Tartar is going to be finished!"

Many large and small teahouses in the city of Guangzhou.

I have heard similar discussions in a low voice.

Now all the green battalion soldiers who can fight in Guangzhou have been transferred to the Huangpu battalion.

The strength of the Qing court in Guangzhou is estimated to be the weakest since Shang Kexi took control of Guangdong.

So much so that in the city of Guangzhou, some bold Cantonese people dared to call "Qing Tartar".

"Did you hear that? The Tartars all over the city are ready to run away, and yesterday I saw old and weak women and children leaving the north of the city. ”

"Have you ever heard of HSBC opened by that foreign devil? I heard that HSBC has an English background, and King Zhu Ming didn't dare to offend, and those Eight Banners nobles deposited their silver in HSBC, exchanged the deposit receipts and kept them closely, and then directly exchanged the silver back with HSBC. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

"Hey, where are the Thirteen Banks with millions of taels of silver, if the Ming army really comes in, how can they take it away, if they don't deposit it in the bank, can they give it to King Zhu Ming?"

The discussion in Guangzhou City was fueled by the guidance of well-intentioned people.

Now the big guys in Guangzhou have heard that the foreign devil Rodriguez, who is very close to Fukangan, is an existence that even King Zhu Ming does not dare to offend easily.

.........

Year 1790.

The 17th day of the third month of the lunar calendar.

The last rays of sunset in the sky converged on the last glimmer of light.

Night falls.

The bright moon hangs high in the air like a white jade plate.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the Pearl River, rippling with cold light.

It had been a month since the Ming army occupied Lantau Island and set foot in Guangdong.

Over the past month, the two sides have gathered on the small battlefield of Whampoa to keep raising their bets.

Now it has evolved into a general decisive battle between the Ming army and the Qing court, the green battalions of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces and the garrison of the Eight Banners!!

"Hooray!! Banzai!! Long live the Ming Dynasty!! ”

The sound of long live came from the Ming army village a few miles away.

Hearing this, Fukangan was upset for a while.

He was a little uneasy.

Tonight's Ming army was a little too unusual.

Such noise is not common.

Sun Qijiao, the governor of Guangdong beside him, frowned.

"Commander, Reverse Ming may have to make a move, beware of night attacks!"

Fukangan looked at the bright moon hanging high, although it was already night, but the moonlight was bright, and the night was like day.

Night raid in such conditions?

Fukangan instinctively shook his head.

But he still made people more vigilant.

After all.

Did the Ming army bring him less subversion?

"Contrary to the Ming Dynasty, there are guns and cannons, and the field battle is almost invincible, if you want to fight it in the field, I must also have flowering shells and mortars in the Qing Dynasty!"

Fukangan took a deep breath and said.

"After this battle, no matter what the result is, Ben Shuai will return to Beijing in person and make the benefits and disadvantages clear to the saint!"

When Sun Qijiao heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Ming army formation in the distance, choosing the sun and moon banner.

This scene made him imagine more than a hundred years ago.

When the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers broke through the barrier.

At that time, the Ming army faced the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers.

It's also like the current Guangdong Green Battalion soldiers facing the reverse Ming from Nanyang Fan Hai, right?

........

"Hooray! Banzai!!! ”

Under the sun and the moon.

Zhu Daohua rode on a horse and walked between the barracks.

He personally gave rewards to each of the barracks, as well as wine and meat.

It's different from what Fukangan imagined.

The Ming army did not intend to attack at night.

It's about having a good night's sleep and recuperation.

On the next day.

That is, March 18th.

With a dignified array, he broke the turtle shell of the Qing army and cooked all the nearly 100,000 Qing troops who had gathered hard in Fukangan.

"Fukangan has pressed out all his capital, and there is no need to wait any longer!"

"Defeat the Qing army in the Huangpu battalion, and this king can enter Guangzhou and take Guangdong with dignity!"

Zhu Daohua rode past the Ming generals whose morale was extremely high, causing another wave of long live sounds.

Tomorrow.

It's a decisive battle!
