Chapter 148 The new meeting of the Qing Dynasty! The Huangpu of the Ming Dynasty! (17th)
"Newcomer?" Shang Zhixin thought for a while, "Is it the newcomer that resisted Li Dingguo's army in the eleventh year of Shunzhi?"
"Yes, that's it!" Shang Keai smiled, "When Li Dingguo killed Kong Youde, he led 200,000 troops into Guangdong and fought until Xinhui City. If the Xinhui people were not focused on our Qing Dynasty, they defended for two or three months without soldiers and food, and dragged to the arrival of reinforcements from various groups, Li Dingguo's army was infected again... Our wealth might have ended!"
Shang Kele also smiled and said, "That's right. Our family can take charge of Guangdong for 20 years, relying on the people of Xinhui to defend the people. If they had not defended them firmly, Li Dingguo would have captured Xiangshan after he broke Xinhui. After he got Xiangshan, he would have colluded with the Portuguese. The Portuguese were still inclined to pseudo-Ming. If Li Dingguo had obtained the red cannon and turtledove-footed musket provided by the Portuguese, it would be hard to say whether Guangzhou could be preserved.
The prince has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. Of course, he has to repay him if he gets the benefits of Xinhui people. Therefore, many Xinhui people are officials, soldiers and slaves under our Pingnan King’s vassal. The soldiers in our Pingnan King’s Mansion will marry and take concubines, and they also choose Xinhui women first. That is very virtuous and very fresh. Hahaha..."
Shang Zhixin nodded. He did have 10 or 20 new mothers, and he didn't look particularly annoying.
Shang Keai added: "The coast of Xinhui is not long, and Xinhui people have more ways out, so the victims of the sea ban in the border are less than those of other counties. When they go to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion to be slaves, they are always kept for Xinhui people.
So this Xinhui is the most reliable county in Guangdong...it is more reliable than the outer city of Guangzhou. As long as this Xinhui is in our hands, we can recruit troops and expand our army and fight with those with the surname Zhu to the end!"
This cute analysis is true!
Under Shang Kexi's rule, the people in most parts of Guangdong were in dire straits, and only Xinhui people were stable slaves. Guangdong people elsewhere came to be slaves for Shang Kexi, and he was not at ease! Who knows if he would put some crane red in his meal for him to taste it?
Only the "true love" of the Qing Dynasty was tested by Li Dingguo, and Shang Kexi was absolutely relieved. Therefore, Shang Kexi and his maids and servants in the mansion of his children and grandchildren were all from Xinhui. Shang Kexi took concubines in Guangdong and were also women from Xinhui.
With this relationship, all the officials who went to Xinhui to work "love the people as much as their children", and the Qing soldiers stationed in Xinhui were also military Ji Senran... Shang Kexi had so many little wives, his sons, grandsons, and little wives and nurses. These people have relatives in Xinhui!
Who wants to do something random in Xinhui? Who can stand the wind blowing around this pillow and become a tornado?
"So, Xinhui really can't give up," Shang Zhixin thought about it and asked, "Who is the county magistrate of Xinhui now? Who is the gang leader who guards the city camp?"
"Report to the prince," said Li Tianzhi, the chief minister of the royal palace. "Now the county magistrate of Xinhui is named Wang Shuo, who is a Jinshi in the third year of Kangxi, and his official reputation is excellent. The general of Xinhui's city guarding is named Zhang Haiyang... He turned out to be Yan Ziming's central army general, and he came up with the bad idea of attacking the aid of Guiyu last time. He was supposed to be dismissed from his post and investigated, but later you said that he sent him to Xinhui."
Shang Zhixin remembered that these two people were very positive about flattering him, and it seemed that they wanted to defect to him.
Thinking of this, he said to Shang Keai, and Shang Kele: "Uncle, uncle, why not do this... I brought back 800 cavalry, all of which are elite, and can be divided into three divisions, one 400, and the other two 200. One 400 stationed in Guangzhou, and I personally led the other two. The other two are led by two, one resident in Xinhui to recruit troops and expand the army; the other rushing to Zhaoqing and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jin Guangzu, and then ask Jin Guangzu to quickly transfer Guangxi troops to aid Guangdong. Who are you two going to Xinhui and who are going to Zhaoqing?"
"I'll go to Zhaoqing!" Shang Keai immediately grabbed the "good job" to Zhaoqing. "I am quite familiar with Jin Guangzu, and I have old friends with Kong Sizhen."
"Okay, then I'll go to Xinhui!" Shang Kele gritted her teeth and took on the chore of recruiting soldiers in Xinhui.
Shang Zhixin breathed a sigh and smiled bitterly: "My ama is also crazy and is determined to smash Jieyang County, so the family division in Guangzhou can only be supported by you two."
"Okay, we are all a family!" Shang Keai smiled, "It would be foolproof that I have me in Zhaoqing."
Shang Kele also said: "I will watch you in Xinhui. Give me three months, no, two months, I can bring out ten thousand elite soldiers! When the time comes, those surnamed Zhu dare not withdraw, I will take them to conquer Macau!"
......
"Criminal, Huangpu Island has arrived!"
Military Advisor Zhuge, who had been in Guangzhou for several years in his early years, raised his goose feather fan and pointed at a thirty-foot-high mountain in the center of the Pearl River to the west, shouting at Zhu Heying who had just emerged from the cabin, with his words full of irresistible excitement.
Zhu Hetong was actually as excited as him - because Huangpu Island is almost the east gate of Guangzhou, and it is also the end of Zhu Hetong's march along the way.
Because Dajiao, Shajiao two cannons, Humen Village, and Baishazhai are both difficult to fight. Moreover, when attacking Humen, the Portuguese in Macau had to take the opportunity to attack, so Zhu Hezhai simply bypassed Humen, took Macau first, then took Macau, then went to the Xijiang River Channel, then Xiangshan and Shunde junction to enter the Beijiang River Channel, then walked to Shawan, Shiji Village entered the main channel of the Pearl River, and then headed west.
Although the journey was a bit trampled, it was not a loss. Because Zhu Hezhi's army was advancing on both land and land, and the momentum was huge, the towns along the way were all surrendered, and the officials defenders of the Qing Dynasty fled without fighting - in fact, it was not considered a escape, but retreated back to Guangzhou City by Shang Zhixin. However, their retreat greatly encouraged the morale of the army and the people on Zhu Hezhi's side.
The arrogant Qing soldiers all fled in sight! Who dared to fight against the "100,000 Kings" led by Zhu San Taisun?
Therefore, the county towns of Xiangshan and Shunde and most of the affiliated townships were easy to deal with in a blink of an eye!
And it's quite effective to change hands!
The two counties were led by Master Guo and Yu Xiaoqian with several newly expanded Jinyi personal hammer throwing soldiers, while the towns below were led by new brothers who joined in Macau and followed the old brothers of Jinyi personal soldiers sent by Zhu Hetong.
Many of the new brothers were from Xiangshan and Shunde, and many of them came out of the towns they wanted to enter.
The routines adopted when entering were also used by Zhu Hetong when he went to the countryside around Jieyang County. First, use hollow-filled sugar and medicine bullets to blow up an old wall to show off the muscles, then have the Seven Great Deaths in Guangdong, and finally "send sugar" - in addition to the special white sugar and sugar cane winemaking, there are two major projects: hospitals and schools!
Especially the "garlic elixir" that specializes in treating diarrhea and epidemics is really attractive to Guangdong people. Dysentery is a very common epidemic in Guangdong at this time, and many people die every year. If anyone can have the "elixir" to cure diarrhea, then it is a living Bodhisattva who has descended to earth.
Now Zhu San Taisun happens to have this "immortal medicine", so he is a living Bodhisattva, a living god... The gods rebelled, and the Qing Dynasty is about to end!
Therefore, most of the towns in Shunde and Xiangshan had already cut their whips before and after the crossing of Zhuhetian's army, and sent the young men from the clan to Zhuhetian's army as apprentices or students, and also provided food, civilians, ships and ships to Zhuhetian's army.
Therefore, the scale of the fleets and the large groups of people walking towards Huangpu Island are already 50% larger than when they left Macau... The army of 70,000 to 80,000 people has already arrived near Guangzhou Fucheng!
Zhu Hezhi raised the thousand-mile mirror, observed it from a distance, and then said to Zhuge Military Advisor: "Let Qiu Rong go... take down Huangpu Island before dark!
