Chapter 134 Shang Kexi, do you want to change homes? Do you still have a monthly pass?)
On the 1st year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, on the first day of March, the Mianhu Village Camp in Chaozhou.
This place is now the ocean of Qing soldiers!
The original Mianhu Village City had already been crowded, and the Chaozhou people in the city had already coaxed Shang Zhixiao out to free up houses for the Green Camp soldiers who came from the north. Although the Green Camp soldiers were in the Green Camp, theories were the flag soldiers of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and the Xushun Gong Mansion, they were the guardians of the imperial envoy Mi Sihan, and Emperor Kangxi personally drew the Green Camp soldiers from Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi and other provinces for Mi Sihan.
Therefore, Shang Zhixiao did not dare to neglect them and had to treat them as "Lv Lao". The Pingnan Prince's Mansion Banner Army and the Vangxia Green Camp soldiers who came from Guangzhou naturally became Guangdong's "Second Privates" and set up a circle of camps outside Mianhu Village City to protect the "Lv Lao Lao" from the north. On the periphery of the "Second Privates" in Pingnan Prince's Mansion were the Guangdong Green Camp "Second Privates" led by Yan Ziming, Miao Zhixiu, Zhang Guoxun, Wang Guodong and others, as well as the two thousand Chaozhou Minzhuang and Regiment led by Fengmingshan, who was dismissed and made meritorious contributions.
These fourth-class Qing soldiers gathered layer by layer around Mianhu Village, forming a heavy army group of 50,000 people!
In addition to the 50,000 troops here, Haiyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture City, also stationed Liu Jinzhong's army to prevent Zhu San and his son from running east to Fujian. In Chaozhou, Yanling Pass, at the junction of Jiayingzhou, was stationed at the Xushun Gongfu Banner, led by Deng Guangming and Zhang Mengji, and they blocked the way for Zhu San and his son to flee north.
When the situation where the east and north cannot go, Zhu San and his son had to stay in Jieyang County honestly, waiting to be crushed to death by the 50,000 Qing troops who were carried into a group by Mianhu Village.
Although he is sure to win, Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan of the Qing Dynasty, was still very careful at this time!
He didn't want to divide his troops and advance like Yang Hao, the Ming Dynasty's commander, and was defeated by Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, Shang Kexi did not dare to concentrate his troops and advance rashly, and now he wants to "win the army is more important than speed"!
"It only takes sixty or seventy miles from Mianhu Village to Jieyang City. I climb several miles a day and reach it in a month! I have an army of 50,000 and so many red barbarian cannons. As long as I arrive at Jieyang City, build a fort and bombard Jieyang City day and night, even if it is iron-clad, I can break it!"
Shang Kexi was proudly talking about his stable strategy of fighting against the thief in Mianhu Village City with the imperial envoy Mi Sihan, Guangdong Governor Liu Bingquan, Shang Kexi's military advisor Jin Guang, and a group of admirals, generals and deputy generals.
Mi Sihan, Liu Bingquan, Yan Ziming and other men nodded repeatedly when they heard this, as if they were all familiar with the Three Kingdoms, no, they were military strategists who were familiar with the art of military arts.
Shang Kexi's two sons, Altan Gongshang Zhixin and the second son Shang Zhixiao, were also standing in the lobby of the headquarters, but they did not listen to Shang Kexi's words, but instead competed with each other with their eyes.
As soon as Shang Kexi finished speaking, the two young masters Shang left the list and asked to stand at the same time.
"Ama, my faith and wish to be the pioneer, lead a brigade of elite troops, and open the way for the army!"
"Ama, Zhixiao is willing to be the vanguard, lead the elite troops of our headquarters and open the way for the army!"
Seeing that both sons popped out, Shang Kexi couldn't help but frowned and said to himself: "You two little bastards are fighting for nothing! Isn't it enough for Miao Zhixiu, Zhang Guoxun, and Wang Guodong to go for the errands of pioneers?"
Just when Shang Kexi wanted to teach his two hot-headed sons a lesson and then handed over the errand to someone else to do, he suddenly heard someone outside the hall shouting: "Prince, slave Li Tianzhi is urgently reporting to military affairs!"
Shang Kexi was stunned. Li Tianzhi was Shang Kexi's confidant and was appointed as the chief minister of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Today, Li Tianzhi was on duty in the central army of Mianhuzhai Camp and did not come to participate in the military agreement. If something big had happened, he would not have come to interrupt the military agreement!
"Call him in!"
Shang Kexi hurriedly asked the left and right to invite the Li Da Changshi in. Before Li Tianzhi could give him a thousand words, Shang Kexi could see something was wrong from his face.
Li Tianzhi had a big blushing face, but now he looks white! What big thing happened?
"Li, Li Changshi, what happened?" Shang Kexi knew that something was wrong, so he quickly asked.
"Your Majesty, you have just received an urgent report from the Guangzhou Prince's Mansion that Macau was attacked and occupied by the pseudo-Mingding Prince!"
"What?" Shang Kexi asked nervously, "Hunmen was defeated by Zhu Hetong?"
"It's not Humen, it's Macau!" Li Tianzhi was afraid that Shang Kexi was confused and couldn't understand, so he emphasized again, "Macau, which was taken by the Portuguese, had been defeated by Zhu Hetong. It is reported that Zhu Hetong first kidnapped the armed merchant ship of the Red Barbarians and Britain East India Company, entered the inner port of Haojiang, Macau under the banner of the Red Barbarians, and then used magic techniques to create smoke to coax the Portuguese to put out the fire, but they all came to his mind. Later, he bombarded the city of St. Paul in Macau with a powerful flowering bomb for one night, causing heavy casualties in the city."
"Wait," Shang Kexi felt something was wrong when he heard it, and quickly interrupted, "When did this happen? Why did he find out so clearly?"
"Report to the prince," Li Tianzhi said, "The military newspaper said that what happened on February 25th and 26th is so clear because the Portuguese soldier in Macau, Rotoni, Bishop San Paul abandoned the city and fled, took the Portuguese clutch to the Tiger Gate, reported the fall of Macau, and said that he had made up his mind to surrender to the Qing Dynasty as a bannerman."
As he said that, Li Tianzhi handed Shang Kexi the letter submitted by Zeng Qizhao from the Humenkou Xietai, who had passed through the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, to Shang Kexi with both hands.
Shang Kexi took the report and read it again and again. After reading it, his palms were shaking slightly, and his forehead was covered with sweat beads!
He is feeling distressed and anxious now!
The smuggling trade in Xiangshan in Macau is a money cow in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. This is a crack for the little bastard Zhu Hetong! Could it be that Shang Kexi doesn't feel sorry for him?
Moreover, Zhu Hezang ran so far that he could not hesitate to offend the British and Portuguese homes to his hometown in the Western Regions and would also attack and conquer Macau. It was impossible that he just wanted to cut down the money tree of the Prince of Pingnan’s Mansion?
He is going to fight Guangzhou!
Macau is also a strong city. There are hundreds of cannons defending the city alone, including thirty-six red-clothed cannons produced by the Macau Bujialao Factory. Such city defense was broken by Zhu Hetong in one night.
He is about to arrive at the city of Guangzhou. Can Guangzhou City be defended? Is this situation still good enough?
"Ama Guangzhou Prefecture is our foundation. We must not make any mistakes. Retreat quickly!"
Shang Zhixin, who was just shouting for a fight and killing, was trying to compete with his brother Shang Zhixiao to be the pioneer, was already scared at this time.
"Ama, there are two uncles in Guangzhou and the others who watched it. The pseudo-Ming rebels cannot be defeated at all! Now the elite soldiers of the pseudo-Ming rebels must be in Macau, so Jieyang County will definitely be empty and unprepared! We might as well drive forward, attack the thief's nest, and take Prince Zhu San in one fell swoop!"
Of course, the monk Zhixin sang the opposite tune was his good brother Shang Zhixiao. These two brothers are now mortal enemies! Therefore, Shang Zhixin's suggestion must be opposed.
Of course, Shang Zhixin had to firmly oppose Shang Zhixin's opinion. He immediately said to the old man: "Ama, now there are a group of old men who are guarding Guangzhou. How much better can they be than the Portuguese who guarded Macau? If we conquer Jieyang, will Zhu and Jian defeat Guangzhou be a family? Is it a loss for us to exchange Guangzhou for Jieyang County?"
"How could Guangzhou be lost? The second uncle and the others are not comparable to those Portuguese businessmen!" Shang Zhixiao was not willing to be outdone.
Seeing that the two sons had their own opinions, Shang Kexi had no idea for a moment, so he had to turn around and seek the opinions of military advisor Jin Guang.
Of course, Old Man Jin supported Shang Zhixiao, so he said to Shang Kexi: "Prince, if Zhu Heying really could conquer Guangzhou, it would probably be too late to return to the army now! Mianhu Village has more than 600 miles to Guangzhou, and no matter how fast the army goes, it will take seven or eight days. If Zhu Heying's army cannot conquer Guangzhou for so long, then he will not be able to conquer Guangzhou at all.
