Chapter 189
After staying in Quanzhou for about five or six days, Nian Qianyao, the general of Vladivostok, came back with the fleet, and then, a group of people found Yu Zhong with abnormal expressions.
"What? Caught that Liu Qizhi? You don't have to go around Taiwan to block people? Yu Zhong was eating, and after seeing a few of his subordinates, he just asked casually.
"My lord, things are a little tricky, the Blue Army Gate asked you to lead the troops immediately!" Nian Qianyao replied.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zhongqi said, "With Lan Li's ability, they won't be defeated like Xu Yun and Ouyang Kai, right?" Besides, they had 200 guns with them! Do you still need me to send troops to help? …… It can't be that those old men suddenly found out in their conscience and wanted to give me some military merits, right? ”
"My lord, General Wu Ying and General Wei Ming Wei have fallen into the traitor's trick by mistake and have already died!" Yue Zhongqi said.
"What do you say? ......" Yu Zhong had just picked up a piece of grunt meat and fell to the ground, "What's the matter?" Wu Ying and Wei Ming are both generals who have experienced battle formations, why did they die as soon as they came up? What about Lan Li and Chen Python? ”
"My lord, Lan Junmen and General Chen are fighting in the southern part of Taiwan, and now they can't be separated!" Nian Qianyao said.
"Can't be separated? How did they get apart? Yu Zhong asked.
"My lord, Lan Junmen and General Chen each brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, and they are fighting in Tainan with Liu Qizhi and the two rebels led by his fellow party Wang Guozhang. Nian Qianyao said.
"It can't be! Liu Qizhi and they are just a rabble, how can they stop Lan Li and them? Yu Zhong did not believe.
"My lord......" Nian Qianyao was about to say more, but Yu Zhong suddenly stopped him again, and turned to Yue Zhongqi and asked, "What's the matter with Wu Ying and Wei Ming?" How did they die? And now what about the soldiers under their command? ”
"My lord, it's all because Liu Qizhi and that Qin Baoqi have a quarrel!" Yue Zhongqi sighed.
"They're starting to make a fuss now? ......" Yu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then said to Yue Zhongqi: "You tell me in detail!" ”
"My lord, in this march, General Wu Ying has always wanted to kill that Liu Qizhi with his own hands. We first swept away the traitor sailors who stood in front of Heliao Harbor, and then the army landed and successfully conquered Fucheng, when he heard that Liu Qizhi was fleeing towards northern Taiwan. So he asked the Blues to fight. The Blue Army Gate didn't care too much, divided half of the soldiers and horses, and asked him to take them to sweep the north of the platform! The last general was sent to follow General Wu all the way, and sent them to Huwei (present-day Tamsui, Taiwan) by boat, where they landed! As a result, when we arrived at the place, we heard that Liu Qizhi turned back to Tainan, but it was that Qin Baoqi who ran to the Jingtong area east of Taipei! General Wu is very popular, but since he has arrived in Taipei, it is not good to go back. Therefore, in order to get closer, General Wu took us east around Keelung and landed from there! After landing on the shore, he led the army to march to Jingtong, and there were no traitors along the way, so he reached Lion Ball Ridge, where he encountered the resistance of traitors......" Yue Zhongqi said.
"Lion Ball Ridge? What happened to you there? Yu Zhong asked with slanted eyes.
"Yes!" Yue Zhongqi nodded with some sympathy, and said, "General Wu led the army there, and when he saw that there were rebels stationed, he was ready to set up artillery and attack first!" Unexpectedly, those traitors fired first......"
"They fired? Did you hit it? The range of their guns should not be far, they are not at all comparable to our naval guns, and they have not bought any good guns...... Lan Li had interrogated those captives before leaving! Yu Zhong shouted.
"My lord, their naval guns can't work, and neither can the guns they bought, but those traitors still have red-coated cannons removed from those batteries in Taiwan!" Yue Zhongqi said.
……
“…… Damn it! Yu Zhong threw the chopsticks that were still in his hand to the ground. I thought of everything, but I forgot such a trick! Dutch, Zheng family's ...... The Qing court didn't think that after they recovered Taiwan, there would be no one to snatch it again, so they didn't think about dismantling those six or seven thousand pounds of cannons at all, in fact, even if they thought about it, they didn't have the leisure to do it! But they all forgot that the artillery would not recognize its owner!
"The traitor's artillery fire just hit the ammunition of the artillery battalion, and General Wu and General Wei were also nearby at that time......" Yue Zhongqi didn't say any more, and the matter couldn't have been clearer. Wu Ying, an unlucky ghost, went directly back to his grandmother's house this time, and brought a general soldier Wei Ming with him by the way.
"What's going on there now? Did the rebels take the opportunity to counterattack? Yu Zhong calmed down and asked Yue Zhongqi again.
"Nope! After General Wu and General Wei were killed, Adjutant General Yang Yuan immediately led his troops to attack with the intention of revenge. However, half of our artillery was destroyed, and the rebels used red-coated cannons far away, and there were all kinds of small cannons and all kinds of crossbows and bows nearby, and they occupied a favorable position, so our army suffered heavy losses, with more than 300 casualties! can only temporarily retreat and report the military situation to the blue army gate, waiting for the military order! …… Up to now, we only know that it is not Liu Qizhi on the Lion Ball Ridge, but Qin Baoqi! The two groups of people were coaxed inside, and Qin Baoqi and the people of the Heaven and Earth Society were driven there! Yue Zhongqi said again.
"Liu Qizhi's gang is the same. He and Wang Guozhang's soldiers were divided into two routes, two groups of people defended according to the danger, each other was horns, red-coated cannons and all kinds of small cannons were ready, and there were many muskets, and our army was difficult to suppress them for a while! Nian Qianyao said again.
"So Lan Li came to let me fight?" Yu Zhong asked Nian Qianyao again.
"Yes! The Blue Army Gate asked you to go to Keelung to watch the rebels, and you can't let the rebels escape, nor ...... You can't take the initiative either! Nian Qianyao replied with some embarrassment, and after speaking, he sighed secretly. He was the deputy commander of the capital, and he had combat experience, so he was by Lan Li's side at that time, and when he encountered that kind of situation, of course, he automatically asked for a fake. However, Lan Li didn't trust Yu Zhong, and he didn't trust him even more. Otherwise, such a military order would not have been issued.
"Got it. Damn, this world is so troublesome! I can't even eat a loose fast meal! Yu Zhong patted the clothes on his body in annoyance, and sighed again, "Go back and prepare!" Set off tomorrow and take our brothers with you! …… By the way, notify the eldest brother again, and ask him to bring those soldiers from the Shenji Battalion with him...... The one sent by the emperor can't be left aside! ”
************
Qin Baoqi stood alone on a high ground in the Lion Ball Ridge, his thin clothes fluttering wantonly with the breeze. He was looking down at the book he was holding in his hand, and after a long time, he raised his head and looked at the dilapidated camp where the Qing army was no longer in the distance, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a trace of ridicule passed!
These Qing soldiers are simply a bunch of garbage in his opinion!
has always only bullied the soft and feared the hard, either, or bullied the less with more, and has never fought a decent battle. That Kangxi is pretentious, didn't he almost be overturned by the three feudatories? If Wu Sangui was not so stupid, after conquering Sichuan, he would not just think about dividing the river with the Manchu Qing and start attacking Hunan, but would take advantage of the peak of the army to go north directly from Shuzhong and first subdue the hesitant Shaanxi Wang Fuchen, in that case, under the strong pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops, Gansu Governor Daniel Zhang and his two fierce generals Sun Sike and Wang Jinbao dare to help Kangxi again? As long as the elite Gansu Green Camp Army of the Qing court is ambushed, Wu Sangui can lead the army from the land of Guanzhong to the condescending land, sweeping Shanxi and Zhili, and the troops will be directed at Beijing! At that time, even if Kangxi had talents like Tuhai and Zhou Peigong under his command, the general trend of the world could be decided by a war! But...... Kangxi is just a good fate!
There is also what Kangxi hyped up, the battle he personally fought against Geerdan! Isn't it just relying on more people to bully fewer people? That Gerdan is useless! If you want to escape, where will you run? You have to run back the way you came! Have you forgotten that the road is thousands of miles away? If he Qin Baoqi was to send a brigade of partial divisions, make a detour and direct the detour to Beijing and Fengtian, and Kangxi would dare to lead his troops to chase him? If he dares, he will dig his ancestral grave! …… And what is particularly hateful in this is that Geldan's army is only less than 700 miles away from the capital, and it was actually beaten back! This is just rubbish!
However, no matter how bad those people are, they are stronger than the Qing army in front of them!
"Hmph, what kind of general to pacify the Taiwan Strait? The generals under him are nothing more than that, so Shi Lang is probably just two brushes! He muttered.
"What do you say, Lord Incense?" A lean man next to him, who looked like a leader, asked.
"Nothing!" Qin Baoqi exhaled slightly, "Is everything arranged?" ”
"It's all set up! Incense master, you can rest assured! As long as those Qing soldiers dare to step into that camp again, the fire we have planted will blow them up! The thin man asked.
"Hmm!" Qin Baoqi nodded, "Now those Qing soldiers should have retreated to the beach, right?" ”
"The Lord of Incense counts! The Qing soldiers had already set up camp on the shore of Keelung, and their sailors were not there, so they probably went to ask for reinforcements. The thin man replied.
"I see!" Qin Baoqi replied slowly, and then said a little gloomily: "If it weren't for the uselessness of this Liu Qizhi and his careful eyes, this time, we would be able to turn this Manchu Dynasty upside down, and then ...... Alas! ”
"Why should the incense lord be worried? Now that the people of our Heaven and Earth Society are moving around the mainland, as long as they hold on for a while longer, then the Qing court will be difficult to take care of, and if you take your brothers to fight back, won't you go down to this Taiwan island? The thin man said.
"yes, it's time for them to do it...... Hmph, this time we have joined forces in several provinces, and we have been planning for so long, and Liu Qizhi's crooked wind has helped blow it, pulling the spirit of Kangxi and the Qing court over, and now, we have to see a sound! Qin Baoqi put his hands behind his back and gritted his teeth and said.
