Chapter 32: The Qing Dynasty is over! Ask for a monthly ticket)

Dahao, the Chaozhou General Office of the Ming Dynasty.

The Chaozhou General, the Zhongyongbo Qiu Hui's guards, lined up in four neat rows at the entrance of the yamen, playing suona, beating gongs and drums, holding the General's Sanjun Office's military flag and Zhongyongbo's recognized flag. All the soldiers of the guards were covered with iron armor on cloth, holding spears or carrying turtledove-footed muskets on their shoulders, and stood quietly. A leader holding a waist knife walked around in front of the team.

The main gate of the General Army's yamen (actually one door in total) was already wide open. Qiu Hui's son Qiu Rong was leading more than a dozen of Chaozhou Towns of the Ming Dynasty waiting in the door. As for Qiu Hui and Chen Yonghua, of course, it was impossible to go out to welcome him. Zhu Qipao was just a lieutenant from the sixth rank of Fengguo, and the strength of the two fathers and sons was calculated to be equivalent to a cooperation agreement (a few hundred people) of the Ming Zheng army.

Zhu Jushan, Zhu Qipao and his son have visited many times before, but they have never enjoyed such treatment. Today, Qiu Hui didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually welcomed Zhu Qipao's visit with such a big fanfare.

Although Qiu Hui's power is not small, it was created after all. It is inevitable that he is a bit like a turtle team, and the internal hierarchy is not very strict. Many Qiu Hui's subordinates may be a bit awe of the boss Hui, but they are used to laughing with his son Scarrong. So if you don't understand, you can ask directly.

"Brother Qiu, I heard that the cannon Zhu Meng was gone. Is this a matter?"

"Brother Qiu, I heard that the dog official from Zhu Chaozhou Prefecture beat him stupidly. Isn't it true?"

"Brother, I heard that the artillery Zhu Fabing took over the factory's pigpen and drove out all the pigs?"

"Isn't this stupid and crazy?"

"The boss probably won't marry Miss Four to a fool and lunatic, right?"

"It's definitely not possible, it's impossible to be neither stupid nor crazy! He and Miss Four have no engagement, but they're just a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

"that is......"

Qiu Rong didn't say a word, just drooping a scarred face, his face full of helplessness and sadness... Why are you stupid and crazy when you are a good person?

While the boss Hui was analyzing Zhu Qipao's condition, he concealed his soul-changing disease. At the same time, Zhu Hesheng, who was not sure that he was on a blind date (he hadn't remembered Qiu Shuzhen), was leading his own troops into Dahao Commercial Port and swaggeringly came to the General Army Office.

Although the number of people in this team is not large, there are only more than 200 people in total. However, this spirit makes everyone who sees them along the way feel excited... The spirit is hard to describe, but it is easy to feel.

The formation of these more than 200 people is not neat, and most of them have no good equipment, but they just saw that they had won the battle and beat the Tartars and came in triumphantly. They didn't feel that they were here to Dahao for help.

In addition, the twenty or so knights who were leading the 200 people, riding short-legged Dian horses, were all wearing Qing army flag soldiers with iron armor on cloth, and carried Manchurian bows and bird guns that were only available in Qing army flag soldiers (there are no popular bird guns in Guangdong, everyone likes heavy muskets) and Kanto Dashuo Shou Knife.

This flag soldier-style cloth-covered iron armor, Manchu bow, bird gun and Kanto big sweep knife are in Guangdong. There is no place to buy it here...it can only be taken from dead or captured flag soldiers!

And the equipment on these twenty knights is difficult to rob just by killing more than twenty flag soldiers. Because killing the enemy on the battlefield does not mean that you can rob the enemy's corpse!

Usually, while snatching more than twenty corpses and prisoners on the battlefield, you will also kill several times the enemy!

The equipment of these twenty or so great Nanshan knights alone means the casualties of hundreds of flag soldiers of the Shun Gongfu!

Hundreds of flag soldiers!

Now Qiu Family Bingding, who was guarding both sides of the street to maintain order, looked at the "silly and crazy" cannon Zhu a little differently.

When these Dananshan knights wearing cloth iron armor and carrying standard weapons and equipment of flag soldiers appeared outside the Chaozhou General Army, including Qiu Rong, all the generals and assistants who were waiting for Zhu Hesheng at the General Army Army's gate were surprised.

Now there is no longer any talkative voices.

A surprised expression flashed across Scar Rong's face, and then he saw the successor of the Qiu family army laughing and approaching Zhu Hesheng and said, "Lieutenant Fengguo, please come in there! My father and the Yanping Prince's Mansion consultant to join the army, Junshi Chen, have been waiting in the mansion for a long time!"

Yanping Prince’s Mansion consulted to join the army, and Zhu Hesheng thought of Wei Xiaobao’s master Chen Jinnan when he heard this name!

Unexpectedly, this great military advisor also came to Dahao... This is an opportunity!

Zhu Hesheng thought to himself: "It's time for Chen Jinnan to see the evidence that the Qing Dynasty is about to end!"

......

In the lobby of the Chaozhou General Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hesheng finally met Hui Qiu Hui, the tycoon who supported the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty in Chaohui, and Chen Jinnan, who claimed that "if you don't see Chen Jinnan in your life, you will be in vain."

Zhu Hesheng and Qiu Hui were old acquaintances. Qiu Hui and Zhu Jushan had worshipped each other, so Zhu Hesheng was able to regard himself as his younger generation and met with great gifts. After worshiping Lao Hui, Qiu Rong introduced Zhu Hesheng to Chen Yonghua.

The moment Zhu Hesheng entered the lobby of the General Army's Office, Chen Yonghua was carefully observing the "crazy lieutenant".

It looks quite normal, with polite words and demeanor. Every move is full of confidence and has a vague sense of kingly style.

Seeing that Zhu Hesheng had already fallen on a chair, Chen Yonghua didn't say much to greet him, and directly talked about Kangxi's vassalization. He asked: "Lieutenant, I got the news that the Tartar Emperor Xuanye intended to imitate Zhao Kuangyin and use his glory and wealth to resolve the military power of the Three Feudals. Do you think this matter is possible?"

"Impossible," Zhu Hesheng shook his head, "unless Kangxi is crazy!"

Chen Yonghua was stunned, "What do you say?"

Zhu Hesheng said: "The big three feudal lords do not fall because of the vassal lords, but because of the slaves under the vassal lords! Can the military advisors know how many soldiers and horses the Three Feudal lords have and how many people they have?"

Chen Yonghua thought for a while and said, "Wu Sangui has fifty-three assistant leaders, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao each have fifteen assistant leaders, and the Sanfan tribe has a total of eighty-three assistant leaders. Each assistant leader has 200 soldiers, which is a total of 16,600 soldiers. The population is about five times that of soldiers, and there are more than 80,000 people in total."

Zhu Hesheng shook his head, "The number of flag troops in the Three Feudals has a quota, but their population cannot be controlled by just giving a quota... The Three Feudals entrenched in Yunnan, Guangdong, and Fujian, with countless vassals and patriarchs. The vassals are easy to get good fortune and poor, who is not making a fortune? When a man has money and land, who is not bringing three wives and four concubines to his home? The Tartar emperor can control the children of the Eight Banners and not intermarry with the Han people, and can also control the servants of the Three Feudals who are far away from the sky, and do not ask for a little wife? Not to mention others, just the King of Pingnan Shang Kexi has how many children he has? More than one hundred!

The Sanfan Banner Army may really have only more than 16,000 people, but after more than 20 years of reproduction, the population under the vassal states may have to be hundreds of thousands! How many people in the Eight Banners of Emperor Kangxi were only? Maybe even the actual population of the Sanfan period was not as large as that of the Sanfan period.

Emperor Kangxi really dared to move so many servants from Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian to outside Shanhaiguan? Haha, if these people rebel outside Shanhaiguan near Beijing, the Manchus would have a lot of fun!"

It seems to make some sense!

Chen Yonghua glanced at Qiu Rong - this Zhu Qipao doesn't seem crazy!

Zhu Hesheng then said, "So Kangxi would never be able to release military power with a glass of wine... Even if the Three Feudals did not rebel, he would definitely arrange ambush during the relocation of the Three Feudals and massacre all the people of the Three Feudals!

Kangxi understood this principle, and the vassal lords, counselors, and generals of the Three Feudal vassals understand it! Moreover, Kangxi... would never tolerate the number of slaves under the Three Feudal vassals continuing to expand. Otherwise, in another twenty years, the slaves under the Three Feudal vassals would not be hundreds of thousands, but two or three million, which would be several times that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

By then, it was not whether the Manchu emperor could tolerate the Three Feudalists, but whether the Three Feudalists were willing to give the Manchus a way out."

Chen Yonghua nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's right! Although the Three Feudal Banner Army is not as good as Manchuria, one of them can win!" He sighed, "Actually, my Yanping Palace is trapped by a small number of soldiers and few people? If there are two million people under the rule of the Yanping Palace, why worry about not sweeping across Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian?"

The biggest difficulty facing the Yanping Palace at this time was that the population was too small, less than 200,000. Therefore, the Yanping Palace had only more than 10,000 permanent troops, and they had to be divided into water and land armies, which was really difficult.

However, even so, in the original history, the army of the Yanping Palace also captured Chaozhou, Huizhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou in Guangdong during the Three Feudal Rebellion. They also defeated Shang Kexi's main force in the Battle of Zhumamu Mountain, and killed more than 10,000 prisoners in the formation!

Zhu Hesheng said: "Military advisor, if the equipment is good enough, even if the soldiers are small and few, they may not be able to be ten! The soldiers of Yanping Prince's Mansion, Chao Town, and Gaolei Lian Town (Chen Shangchuan) are less than 30,000. If they can be ten, are they still afraid that they will not be able to sweep Fujian from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian?"

Chen Yonghua frowned and asked, "The Lieutenant doesn't know that the Red-Hai Kingdom of the Heiyi and the Red-Hai Kingdom had a good relationship with the Yanping Palace because of the fact that the previous kings took Taiwan. Therefore, the Western firearms that the Yanping Palace could get can also get from Manchus. If you want to rely on the benefits of the firearms to get one, you may not be able to do it."

Zhu Hesheng smiled and said, "Military advisor, Xiaguan occasionally discovered a method of preparing a fierce gunpowder that is several times more powerful than black gunpowder... This fierce gunpowder was invented by Xiaguan and is nothing in Western countries."
