Chapter 160 Shang Ke is happy to come!

Emperor Kangxi still has two tricks!

Although he cannot reach the height of the "Saint Ancestor", he is definitely a relatively difficult opponent. Otherwise, Wu Sangui's strength would not have been killed by him.

And his best skills in his life were to hurt people and fight protracted wars. He used these two moves to fight Wu Sangui, and for the Yanping Palace. Later, he fought with "Ga Erdan" and these two moves. However, when he met with Peter the Great's sister, Princess Regent Sophia, these two moves were not good, so he had to sign the Treaty of Nebuchu.

However, this time in Guangdong, Emperor Kangxi's "injuring people with his own power" and "protracted war" also experienced some problems.

It’s not that Zhu Heting has a lot of capital, and can spend money with Kangxi, who is rich all over the world, but that Guangdong is too far away from Beijing Road. Even if Emperor Kangxi has 600 miles of express delivery to use, it will take half a month or even longer to go back and forth.

And Shang Kexi, who was driven by him, was an old traitor with a little overly loyalty. He was completely different from Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong, two guys with rebellious bones behind their heads.

Therefore, when he was too enthusiastic when he was exterminated by the Qing lord, Zhu San Taisun, for the Qing lord, he was too enthusiastic. Before Kangxi's edict to adjust the strategy of suppressing thieves had arrived in Guangdong, he had already rushed back to Guangzhou with his troops.

In the night, a fire dragon was moving forward in a vast way on the winding official road in Huizhou Prefecture!

This is an army of 17,800 people led by King Shang Kexi, Pingnan!

When this army left the Jieyang camp of the Qing army, the number was still more than 20,000. However, after a round of the territory of Chaoyang County, it suddenly turned around and ran westward. It ran more than 600 miles in five days and reached Guishan County, the capital of Huizhou. The number of people had dropped to more than 17,000. A total of 3,000 and four thousand people fell.

Although there are many people behind, Shang Kexi did not dare to neglect at all. Especially after leaving Guishan County, he started to launch the "night shift mode" of day and night walking. Every evening, when the sun sets, it will take almost five or six hours to stop and set up camp in the morning the next day!

There are two main reasons why I have to work night shifts. One is that the sun is too strong during the day!

It's late April now, which is late April of the lunar calendar. It's almost June to be counted as the Western calendar.

June day in Guangdong!

Moreover, there is also a group of Northeastern people who are "Guangdong" in Shang Kexi's army. Most of them are middle-aged and have a pampered life for many years and are not very heat-resistant.

The second reason is that they are afraid of smoke and fire, that is, they are afraid of Zhu Hetong's smoke bombs, incendiary bombs and sugar medicine grenades!

The move "Rain Day Thunder" that Zhang Zhenren gave him cannot be used to deal with the enemy's ambush. The initiative of the enemy is in the hands of the enemy!

However, Shang Kexi also used veteran soldiers, and of course he would find a way to deal with it after being beaten. So he was thinking about how to fight along the way. When the troops entered Huizhou Prefecture, he finally came up with a stupid solution, which was to walk at night!

Wouldn't Zhu San and Zhuge Yaodao put out cigarettes? If they put out cigarettes to cover the Qing soldiers, wouldn't they turn the Qing soldiers into blind soldiers?

Then just march at night and start the war at night!

It was dark and the night was dark, and both sides were "blind". Wouldn't Zhu San and Zhuge Yaodao's smoke technique be ruined?

Moreover, it is easy to fight in a war at night, and it is easy to "miss"! The two families mingled together and chopped each other. It is not easy to use artillery, muskets, bows and arrows, and basically they fight hand-to-hand combat with one knife and one gun. And so on, the thunder, sky fire and other things on Zhu San's side should not be easy to use.

With one sword and one shot, Shang Kexi was still very confident in the strength of his own soldiers. Although he could not defeat the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, in Guangdong, Shang Kexi's banner soldiers and directly under the Green Camp soldiers were never lost.

Tonight it was a cloudy day, with dark clouds in the sky, and the sea breeze blowing from the southern sea was quite strong, and it was about to storm and rain.

Although Shang Kexi's army used to not like to walk in the rain and fight in the rain, the situation is different now. Fire overcomes water! If heavy rain falls from the sky, the thunder, fire, and smoke of Zhu San and Zhuge's demon path should not be very easy to use, right?

So seeing that it was going to rain, Shang Kexi, who was working on night shift, was in a very good mood! At this moment, a bell rang, and several horses rushed from the back team and found the neighborhood of Shang Kexi's king flag illuminated by a string of lanterns. Shang Kexi looked back and saw that the first rider was his son Shang Zhixiao.

Shang Zhixiao was also excited. When he saw Shang Kexi turning around, he shouted on the horse's back: "Ama, good news! Zhang Zhenren just watched the celestial phenomena at night and found that it would be very good for our army in the next two days. If he could seize the opportunity to fight the thief, he would have great success. Moreover, Zhang Zhenren will set up an altar on the east bank of Zengjiang to control Zhuge's magic spells for us. At that time, the heavenly thunder, sky fire, and smoke of the demon's magic will all be invalid!"

That Zhenren Zhang was really working hard. Not only did he give Shang Kexi a skill of "fighting on rainy days", but even the time he sent troops this time was calculated by Zhenren Zhang counting his fingers, which was a great fortune!

Now looking at the weather, you will know that this real person is still a bit accurate.

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi looked up at the sky, and there was no black lacquer and black hair. In this way, he could observe the celestial phenomena at night and saw a great fortune. It seemed that Master Zhang’s Taoheng was really extraordinary!

Shang Ke was very happy and was in a very good mood. He immediately said to his personal soldiers who were sending orders on both sides: "I will pass on the orders of my king. The whole army will accelerate and do not stop after dawn. You must cross the Zengjiang River before the heavy rain. Then I will have a lot of rewards!"

On the same night, Zhu Hechan and Zhuge Daoren, who had moved to the Huangpu Camp on the north bank of the Pearl River, were also working overtime!

The Huangpu Camp is no longer "996", but there are nearly 17,000 soldiers and generals in the four towns concentrated here, all of whom are "climbed" to the extreme, except for eating, sleeping, and shit. They are not practicing martial arts or shooting skills, but practicing formation and bomb dropping.

It is too late to practice this martial arts now, and the gun rules do not need to be practiced. Because the families of the Qiang Sect in Guangdong nowadays have muskets and have gunmen. Therefore, the soldiers who were selected as infantry musketeers by Jinyi’s personal army can use musketeers skillfully, and it doesn’t mean that they can shoot very accurately. It is definitely no problem to be able to shoot.

However, the queues and formations of these newly enlisted soldiers have to work overtime to train, otherwise they will not be able to go to the battlefield!

Moreover, Zhu Heying now doesn't care about the implementation of any scattered formations, and directly joins the simplest battalion-level phalanx and battalion-level marching columns. The organization of battalion and marching has also been simplified and adjusted, and the scale of battalion has been expanded. The organization method of one battalion governing four leaders and one leader is a pure team of 100 people.

The so-called 100-person pure team means that one hundred people are equipped with the same set of equipment. Among the four gangs under the First Battalion, two gangs are equipped with long spears, one gang is equipped with muskets, and the other gang is equipped with muskets.

Of course, I dare not think about kicking in a straight stance, but only requires that the pace is basically the same, and you can unfold, move, and launch an impact normally on the battlefield.

As for bomb drops, not everyone practiced it, but relatively strong men were selected to form a 30-person deputy leader team, with the battalions directly under the command of each battalion, specializing in the practice of bomb drops.

In addition to these infantry and military camps, the current Jinyi personal army towns also appeared under the town's artillery leaders, cavalry leaders, personal soldiers leaders and baggage battalions directly under the town.

Among them, the artillery leader was equipped with hammer throwing cannons, and one leader was equipped with twelve gates. The cavalry leader had forty to sixty horse-drawn cavalry. The personal leader had about a hundred people. In addition to being responsible for guarding the town department, he was also responsible for sending orders.

The baggage battalion is also a reserve team and an engineering team, with a large number of people, with 800 to 1,000 people in each battalion.

When Zhuhezhi and Zhuge Sanhe led everyone to train day and night, they were not idle, and were busy strengthening and expanding the Huangpu Camp located on the north bank of the Pearl River.

In addition to the above "Guangdong Army" who had cut his hair and was determined to revive the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, there were about a thousand "foreign brothers" under Zhu Heying, forming an artillery battalion, which was directly under Zhu Heying's Central Army Division.

In addition, Zhuge Military Advisor also helped Zhu and Zhiling to set up a central military commander. He first selected a group of small staff from the young soldiers. Later, he selected two or three hundred from the Guanzha coolies who defected to him. He looked smart and spread them out as a detailed work.
