0648, Fang Qianxun was killed
"Chang'er, Shang Kexi used the strategy of darkness to suddenly surround Guangzhou, most of the casualties in the Zhaoqing battalion of the Leizhou Army, please hurry up to the rescue, otherwise it will be too late! Tell my senior brother, Xun'er is sorry for him, and he can't do anything for him anymore. ”
These were the last few words that Fang Qianxun left in the world, and these words were for Zhou Chang.
When Fang Qianxun broke into Zhou Chang's camp covered in blood, he was shot with a total of thirteen arrows on his body.
If these arrows are pulled, they will cause a lot of blood loss. Because he wanted to deliver urgent news, Fang Qianxun didn't pull out these arrows and wrap up his wounds.
Fang Qianxun died after the blood was shed, and she gave her life for a belief.
Fang Qianxun is Zhou Chang's little aunt, when she was taken from Fenghuang Village, Shanxi to Yinping, Chengdu, Zhou Chang followed Fang Qianxun and Mandelly, and the relationship between them was extraordinary.
Zhou Chang was very heartbroken, it was heartache, but he didn't shed tears.
Because he knew that the little aunt was dead, and it was useless to shed tears.
Zhou Chang knows the three words of Lei Zhoujun. When he outwitted Wuzhou City, he had heard of the Leizhou Army.
If there was no sudden occupation of Zhaoqing City by the Leizhou Army, the Praetorian Guards of Zhou Chang and Zhou Xi would have to fight a battle with the Ming official army of Guangdong at that time, and they had already made arrangements for a battle.
Because of the mysterious appearance of the Leizhou Army, and the severance of the connection between the Ming official army in Guangdong and Guangxi, the battle to outwit Wuzhou City became smooth sailing, thus laying the foundation for Xiong Chu to guide the entire Guangxi.
Fang Qianxun's little aunt suddenly disappeared from the Burmese Yue Palace.
Miao Sanguan and Peng Wuying received the news that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had committed suicide and martyrdom, and on the day they rushed to the palace of Burma and Yue, Fang Qianxun's little aunt disappeared that night.
Also missing were the Governor of South Vietnam, Ha Yun, including 24,000 officers and men of the naval fleet stationed in South Vietnam Province and dozens of ships.
After Aunt Fang Qianxun and Aunt Xia Yun disappeared, the master Prince Xiong often sat silently alone, as if he couldn't say anything important.
Later, a Leizhou army suddenly appeared, and he helped himself fight, Zhou Chang had a lot of doubts.
But when he asked his master, Prince Xiong, he was severely reprimanded.
Since then, the three words of Leizhou Army have become a taboo in the Xiong Family Army.
The taboo in the Xiong Family's Army finally reappeared today, this is the Leizhou Army that was hit hard by Shang Kexi.
What is the origin of the Leizhou Army, and why did Aunt Fang Qianxun risk her life to ask for help?
Could it be that Aunt Fang Qianxun has a close relationship with the Leizhou Army? Or is the Leizhou Army the troops of Aunt Fang Qianxun?
Zhou Chang didn't know, he didn't understand anything.
The entire Praetorian Guard knew that Fang Qianxun was dead, which was a big deal in the Xiong Family's army.
Because Fang Qianxun is not an ordinary person, but a person who has an extraordinary relationship with the emperor and the crown prince.
How to deal with this matter, Zhou Chang couldn't make up his mind for a while.
According to the normal situation, if something goes wrong with someone as important as Fang Qianxun, he should report it to the emperor as soon as possible.
"You can't report it directly to the emperor, absolutely not!" Zhao Jiaju, the former battalion captain, hurriedly explained: "General, you have forgotten a lot of things because you are too sad. What kind of character our emperor is, you should know better than us. If the news of General Fang's death is told to the emperor, it is likely that the sky will fall. ”
"The general should understand the dangerous situation that our Xiong family army is currently facing, if the emperor grieves the death of his junior sister and takes some drastic actions in anger, it is likely to cause catastrophic consequences to our Xiong family army. We absolutely cannot afford this at the moment, so we must be cautious. ”
Zhou Chang didn't pay attention as if he had lost his soul: "Then what do you say? The little aunt is dead, it is definitely impossible to hide such a big thing, and it must be reported as soon as possible." Otherwise, we can't afford to take this responsibility in the event of more serious consequences. ”
"Of course, it should be reported, but it should be reported as an emergency military situation. Zhao Jiaju said in a low voice: "Since it is to report the emergency military situation, there is no need for us to write a letter to the emperor, but we should write a secret letter to Prime Minister Miao Sanguan." I believe that how to deal with this matter, Prime Minister Miao Cheng will definitely have a better way than us. ”
The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Zhao Jiaju's proposal is naturally the best measure in the current situation.
Zhao Jiaju wrote an urgent military intelligence report, and then signed Zhou Chang's name and arranged for 800 li to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Hengyang Wangcheng.
Then he copied a copy of the letter, and also sent it to Chenzhou in an expedited manner of eight hundred miles, so that Zhou Xi could transfer it to Peng Wuying as soon as possible.
After dealing with these things, Zhou Chang began to collect Fang Qianxun's body.
The weather in the south is hot, even if it is winter, Fang Qianxun's body cannot be left for a long time, and he needs to quickly find a craftsman to make a coffin. At the same time, the mourning hall was arranged for the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard to keep their spirits and pay respects.
Everything was busy, and Zhou Chang thought of how to deal with the problem of "rescuing the Leizhou Army", which was the news that Fang Qianxun's little aunt sent back with her life.
Zhao Jiaju also poured cold water: "General Fang risked his life to come, indicating that the Leizhou army must be saved." But the general looked back and thought about it, what was the purpose of our defense of Shaoguan? That is, to protect the royal city of Hengyang. Why do you want to defend the royal city of Hengyang? Because the emperor and his old man are inside. ”
"Put the Leizhou Army and the emperor together, which is more important and which is more important, this is not comparable. Therefore, the last general believes that how to rescue the Leizhou army should also be very cautious. To fulfill General Fang's last wish, of course we should go out to rescue the Leizhou army, but if something goes wrong in Shaoguan, then it will be a sinner for the ages. Think twice, general!"
Zhou Chang sighed: "Of course what you said makes sense, I understand this." But my little aunt has died for this, and I won't do anything?
Zhao Jiaju nodded: "General rest assured, what we should do must be done." So when General Fang rushed into the camp, I had already sent someone out to inquire about the situation. When the scouts return, there will naturally be a clear result, and then the next step can be decided. ”
The problem was more complicated than expected, because the scouts sent out to inquire about the situation brought back no news.
"General, Shang Kexi's former army of 7,000 people besieged Guangzhou, this matter is true, and it is still fighting. However, as far as we know from infiltrating the city, the leader of the troops that captured Guangzhou Cheng from Tong Yangjia was a man named Wang Xing. The banner of their army is indeed the Zhaoqing Battalion of the Leizhou Army, with a total strength of about 20,000 people. ”
After listening to the scout's report, in fact, he didn't say anything, and Zhou Chang and Zhao Jiaju still didn't know the essentials.
Zhou Chang was a little anxious at that time: "Didn't you inquire about what is going on with this Zhaoqing camp and what is the relationship between it and Aunt Fang Qianxun?"
The scout shook his head: "We have arrested several centurions of Shang Kexi and Wang Xing respectively and forced them to ask, no one on both sides of Guangzhou City knows General Fang, and no one has heard of the name Fang Qianxun at all. ”
Zhou Chang and Zhao Jiaju were dumbfounded: Fang Qianxun no one knew him, so what was the relationship between her and Zhaoqingying?
"There's definitely a relationship, and it's very deep. Zhao Jiaju shook his head: "Otherwise, how could General Fang disregard life and death and desperately rush out for help? And judging from those arrows, they were indeed used by Shang Kexi's troops." From this, it can be seen that General Fang rushed out of the city of Guangzhou. But why doesn't anyone know each other?
"Where did Wang Xing come from?" Zhou Chang finally found the crux of the problem.
The scouts really had a lot of information: "Wang Xing is originally from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and is from Lankeng Village, Dong'an, Enping, Guangdong. Because he couldn't survive, he took risks and occupied the mountains as kings, so he was born in the green forest. After Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong entered Guangdong, Wang Xing organized peasant rebels in Enping, Hengpo and other places. ”
Wang Xing's headquarters is located in Wencun, Taishan, which is an earthen city built by Chen Wangdao, a wealthy gentleman in the village, although the land is not wide, but there is a moat dug outside the city, and the city wall is strong; and the location is far away, and the terrain is favorable. There is Ziluo Mountain in the west, Dalongdong Mountain in the north, and the sea in the south, the smoke and waves are vast, and it has become the natural barrier of Wencun City. ”
Wang Xing sent envoys to contact Chen Wangdao many times, urging him to unite against the Qing Dynasty, but Chen Wangdao reprimanded the envoys, tore up the letters, refused to cooperate, and wantonly killed the local anti-Qing righteous people. Wang Xing arrested Chen Wangdao in a fit of anger and occupied Wencun City. After vigorously renovating the defense facilities, Wencun City is more conducive to fortification. ”
"Li Chengdong hid in Guancheng after being defeated by us, and was trying to find a way to secretly recruit troops to restore his strength, and he didn't dare to go back to explain the truth to Tong Yangjia. I don't know how Wang Xingtan heard that the city of Guangzhou was empty, so the whole army went out to seize the city of Guangzhou. ”
Tong Yangjia fled alone, and 1,800 people from Wen Jingui, the deputy envoy of the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang, resisted desperately, and finally the whole army was annihilated, and the city of Guangzhou fell into the hands of Wang Xing. Unexpectedly, Shang Kexi's troops suddenly appeared and caught Wang Xing's troops off guard. ”
"According to the investigation, Shang Kexi's original troops were on the front line of Tongguan, and the false news released by the Manchu Tartars said that Shang Kexi was going south to attack Sichuan. Unexpectedly, after Geng Zhongming committed suicide in fear of crime, Geng Jimao was defeated by us in Xinyang, and Dolgon assigned Geng Jimao's troops to Shang Kexi's command. ”
After that, Shang Kexi ordered Geng Jimao to march to Chang'an to confuse the eyes of outsiders, but he led the main force to quietly go south and cross the Yangtze River from Wuhu. After Bolo occupied Fuzhou, Shang Kexi immediately infiltrated and was preparing to attack Xiamen to deal with Zheng Chenggong's troops. ”
Zheng Chenggong issued an anti-Qing document in a timely manner, and distributed a tiger-headed golden order to the heroes of the green forest, which aroused a high degree of vigilance in the Manchu court. Shang Kexi used the high-ranking official Houlu to buy a large number of generals around Zheng Chenggong, and got the news that Zheng Chenggong was preparing to attack Guangzhou from Nanao Island. ”
In order to give Zheng Chenggong a head-on blow, Shang Kexi secretly marched west to Zhangzhou to ambush Zheng Chenggong, and just got the news that Li Chengdong's troops had defeated Dingnan County, so it attracted great attention. As a result, Wang Xing attacked Guangzhou City at this time, and he came to invite the king into the urn. ”
The scout finally finished what had happened, but things were still unclear.
"As a team trying our best to resist the Qing Dynasty, of course we have to save it morally. Zhou Chang felt that his head was swollen, and he always felt that something was unreasonable: "But what is going on with Aunt Fang Qianxun, there is still no clue, how should I explain it to my master?"
Zhao Jiaju shook his head: "The current situation is very complicated, and we can only wait and see what happens." General, you have to understand that the eldest princess and General Li Qing are both active in Guangdong. If we need to send troops to rescue immediately, at least the eldest princess can give orders on behalf of the emperor. Now we have not received news from the eldest princess and General Li Qing, and we must not move without permission. ”
