"Criminal, this is not easy to fight in Guangzhou!"

The person who raised a different opinion was Yang Qilong, the right military advisor who took office in the new official, who said to Zhu Hechan: "I just came out of Guangzhou and knew some truths and weaknesses. Although Shang Kexi was young and strong in the vassal state, he also guarded against Wu Sangui, Zu Zeqing and others to steal Guangzhou. So he invited the two thieves Shang Keai and Shang Kele who had been at home for a long time, and asked them to command the old soldiers and children under the vassal state and the people and the people in Guangzhou Prefecture to strictly guard the city.

At the same time, he also issued an order to prevent our army from entering Guangzhou City in the name of wearing makeup and sneak attacks, unless there is a order written by Shang Kexi!"

"What happened?" The Heavenly King Zhu was a little anxious when he heard this. He had originally expected Zhu and the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to be installed again. Unexpectedly, now the relatives do not recognize him, and even if the heavenly soldiers go, they will not let him enter the city. The Guangzhou city is tall and large, and there are many cannons on the city walls, especially the four-way turrets on the four-sided forts beside the city. I'm afraid it's not possible to attack!

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the military advisor Zhuge who was shaking the goose feather fan, as if he was asking for a brilliant plan.

But now Zhuge Military Advisor only has a bag of tricks in his pocket, no clever tricks. But how could a dignified military advisor Zhuge have no clever tricks? This is unreasonable!

Fortunately, Zhuge Sanhe has been in the world for a long time, so he still knows how to change the topic and delay time.

So he asked Yang Qilong: "Mr. Yang, don't you know how to defend the cities around Guangzhou City? For example, Xiangshan, Shunde, Xinhui, Xin'an, Xinning, Dongguan, Foshan, etc., can there be soldiers defending?"

Yang Qilong thought for a while and replied: "Xiangshan is an important place under the vassal state of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. There are vassal villages outside the city, and there are also trade sites with Macau Portuguese people in the city, so naturally there are troops to be deployed. Shunde and Dongguan have a green camp army town. Although most of the troops are in the east, they will not have no soldiers to defend. As for Xinhui, Xin'an, Xinning, Foshan and other places, the people should be brave and the regiments should be guarded.

In addition, a elite military force was placed at Humen, which guarded the Guangzhou waterway gate. Shang Kexi's confidant Zeng Zhaoqi, which has always remained unmoved. In addition, a fort was built at Humen, with red barbarian cannons, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

It seems to be a little troublesome!

Military Advisor Zhuge's brows became tighter and tighter.

Now the more meaty places in Guangzhou Prefecture are Guangzhou Prefecture, Xiangshan County, Foshan Town, Shunde, and Dongguan.

Among them, Guangzhou Prefecture City is not aware of the fact that on the one hand, the elderly, weak, women and children under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and on the other hand, there are heavy troops at the Humen! Without breaking the Humen, the army of Zhu San and his sons cannot go to Guangzhou by the Lingdingyang waterway!

Foshan is very close to Guangzhou City, and there are two important areas for defending Xiangshan and Shunde to the south. If you don’t conquer Guangzhou, Xiangshan and Shunde, Foshan will not be able to reach one of the three places.

The remaining are Xinning, Xin'an and Xinhui counties. Among them, Xinning is the county where Wen'an City is located, located on the South China Sea, which is not very important.

Xinhui, Li Dingguo's army was not captured back then. This time, I will fight again. What if those Xinhui people are still loyal to the Qing Dynasty?

As for Xin'an, it is Shenzhen and Hong Kong. However, no one has moved the coastal areas there at present. There are only Xin'an County standing alone, with only a few people inside, and it is not very meaningful to fight. It is better to go to Macau opposite Lingdingyang to grab it!

Yes, Macau!

When I thought of Macau, Military Advisor Zhuge’s eyes lit up!

The most valuable stronghold on the coast of Guangdong is undoubtedly Macau, which was occupied by the Portuguese. Due to the Qing Dynasty's national policy of maritime ban, there are only two serious trading ports left along the coast of Guangdong. Not only does it run to the South China Ocean, but also the Western Ocean's large sea boats have to dock at these two places. Even if they run to the domestic trade ships along the coast of China, they can only do their business to Macau and Dahao.

Compared with Dahao, the "free trade" between Macau and Xiangshan was supported by King Pingnan, and the business naturally flourished more than ten times. Therefore, during the years of the Qing Dynasty's ban, Macau not only did not weaken, but became more prosperous.

However, it is not easy to build this increasingly prosperous Macau, because the Portuguese built a very solid basin in Macau. This is a basin built on a low hill. It is called "Saint Paul's Fortress". It is the garrison of the Portuguese soldiers in Macau and the foundation for the Portuguese rule over Macau!

About fifty years ago, the Dutch East India Company, which had just established a foundation on Java Island, set its sights on the Western trading base in Macau at that time, and then gathered thirteen armed merchant ships and 1,300 people to attack.

As a result, less than 300 Portuguese troops were defeated by the large turret in Macau. After losing about 300 people, they escaped in shame. This was probably one of the only few defeats encountered by the early Dutch colonists with abundant martial ethics in the East.

Five years after this Battle of Macau, the Dutch made a comeback and fought again, but was still repelled by the Portuguese who relied on the Battery of St. Paul.

Since then, the Macau Castle, which repels the Dutch twice, has made a name for itself. Until now, no one dares to make any idea about it anymore, but this record seems to be broken by the military advisor Zhuge.

"King," Zhuge Military Advisor shook his goose feather fan, and a fat face that looked like Pang Tong showed an unfathomable expression. "I suggest that we jointly borrow thousands of soldiers from the boss Hui, and take advantage of Shang Kexi's army gathering in Jieyang. Guangzhou has an empty opportunity to launch a western expedition. First attack a Macau, and then approach Humen in Xin'an. The trade between Macau and Xiangshan is Shang Kexi's money bag, and Humen is guarding Shang Kexi's life gate. We took Shang Kexi's money bag and pinched Shang Kexi's life gate. We are not afraid that Shang Kexi will not retreat from Jieyang City!"

When the king of heaven heard the bad idea of ​​military advisor Zhuge, he knew it was unreliable.

Because he went to Macau several times when he was working with the last Tang King in Wen'an City, and knew that there were strong cities and forts in that place, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was very difficult to "steal" one.

But before the Heavenly King Zhu spoke, Zhu Hezang had already slapped his hands and started shouting, "My lady, my military advisor's clever plan can really make peace in the world! This glorious life gate is not in Guangzhou, but in Macau and Xiangshan!

As long as we can seize Macau and Xiangshan, Shang Kexi will not only lose the wealth, but also get tens of thousands of coolies gathered in Xiangshan Pass to make a living! With these coolies joining the group, what is difficult to fight in Guangzhou?”

What? Seize?

This time, not only King Zhu Tian was stunned, but also Military Advisor Zhuge himself was stunned. Military Advisor Zhuge meant "steal", at most "robbery", and he would leave after robbing one, and not take over the magnificent city of Macau.

That city is much stronger than Taiwan's Rezhalan City. Even if the master of Guo comes to fight, he will not be able to succeed without a siege for a year or two. Even if Zhu and the emperor can surround the Great Fort City, it will not be possible for a year or two, even if there is no one or two months or two!

However, Zhu Heying patted his chest and said in a very firm tone, "What kind of big turret in Macau is wrapped around me! I will bring 1,200 people and borrow 3,000 soldiers from my father-in-law, and I will definitely be able to defeat Macau."

We are waiting for Yuan Ru to practice the law for heaven, and we must not let Westerners occupy the land of our Ming Dynasty!”

When the military advisor Zhuge saw that Zhu Heying seemed very confident, he also shook his goose feather fan and said, "Master, when he was fighting Macau, I was in charge of the minister and the prince. I can break the city with my free and clever plans."

When the king of Heaven saw that the military advisor Zhuge was leaving, he immediately became anxious, "Military advisor, you are leaving, who will give advice from Jieyang City? What if Shang Kexi fights over, how should the lonely family retreat?"

Military advisor Zhuge smiled and said, "Don't worry, the king, I will leave a brilliant plan to help the king defeat the enemy!"

This military advisor Zhuge really has a brilliant plan!
