Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

And when Hong Shiming, Wu Shilin, and Wang Shirong followed Ma Bao to the edge of the white fish pond, they suddenly heard Wu Sangui's angry curses coming from the pavilion.

"Damn it, that kid surnamed Zhu is really not a thing! I now occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and I never thought of going down the river to snatch the southeast with him, I just wanted to be a three-pointer in Jingzhou Mansion The emperor of the world, enjoy it for a few more years. Fortunately, he sent troops to occupy Qingjiang Town, Lujiazui, Longping Town, Wuxue, Fuchikou, Tianjia Town, Banliangshan, Makou, Huangsekou... and even occupied Xingguo Prefecture, which is rich in ironware! Damn it, if the second child hadn’t marched fast enough, the Wuchang Mansion would have been robbed by that kid, it’s really deceiving, I’m so mad!"

Hearing Wu Sangui's words, Hong Shiming knew that Zhou Peigong's plan of "two tigers competing for food" had worked!

Sure enough, Zhu and Qi couldn't bear to fight for the territory of Wuchang Mansion!

Moreover, Wu Sangui did not have the ambition to annex the world. After all, this old thief is old...

Chapter 328 Humans and Animals Are Harmless Wu Sangui, the Third Grandson of the Most Reasonable

"Hahaha……"

The one who was laughing wildly in the Baiyu Pavilion next to the Baiyu Pond was Wu Sangui who had just scolded Zhu Heqi from the air.

What made him laugh wildly was the unequal treaty brought by Hong Shiming that was stamped with the treasure of the Qing emperor.

Old Wu has just held the unequal treaty and read it word by word...not one of them has been deleted, not one word has been changed!

And there is no problem with Emperor Kangxi's emperor's seal. Wu Sangui has seen the big seal in both Manchu and Han languages ​​many times, so he can't be wrong.

With this unequal treaty, Wu Sangui will be able to cleanse himself at the upcoming Jiugongshan meeting—only after cleansing can he become the emperor!

"My son congratulates my father, and congratulates my father. With this agreement, the injustice my father has suffered all these years can finally be cleared."

"The niece and daughter also congratulated the president's uncle. With this treaty, the president's uncle can confess to Daming and Emperor Chongzhen, and he can become emperor when he returns to the throne."

The ones congratulating Wu Sangui were Wu Yingxiong with a simple and honest face and Kong Sizhen, who was in his mid-mature.Wu Sangui didn't know what to think, but he didn't care at all about his son getting together with a married woman like Kong Sizhen.Moreover, Wu Yingxiong was also asked to bring Kong Sizhen to the presidential palace, as if he regarded her as the "young president's side concubine".

Wu Sangui smiled while touching his beloved unequal treaty: "With this treaty, when I go back to Jiugong Mountain, I will have something to say!"

"Grandpa, did you just say you were going to Jiugong Mountain?" Wu Shilin, Wu Sangui's grandson, didn't know about the "Jiugong Mountain Conference", so he asked curiously, "What are you doing there?"

Hong Shiming didn't know about the "Jiugongshan Conference", so he also squinted his triangular eyes and looked at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui replied with a smile: "Of course, the old man went to Jiugong Mountain to meet with the third grandson of Zhu...Some things can only be explained clearly when they have to face each other!"

"Grandpa, but the people of the third grandson of Zhu just snatched nine important places along the Yangtze River, and they are all in Hubei!" Wu Shilin was puzzled, "You were still furious just now, why now..."

Wu Sangui snorted, and said: "The land that the Third Prince Zhu is grabbing is an important point along the Yangtze River. Forts can be set up to block the river. The purpose is not to conquer Wuchang to the west, but to keep the road safe when going east. If the old man was 30 years younger, he would definitely fight with him. But now, the old man is 61 years old, and he is about to be 62 years old. How many years will he have to live? Your father is not a person who can lead soldiers to fight... "

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui sighed, smiled wryly and said to his son: "Ying Xiong, what I'm doing now for my father is to create an iron bucket for you and Shilin, so that you can keep it. And the old man Take care of your health and try to live for a few more years. As long as this old man is alive, the third grandson of Zhu will not dare to give up my Wu family."

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui's tone was already full of confidence, he said with a smile: "The old man already knows what's going on in Sanjiangkou Town... the grandson of the third grandson Zhu is simply messing around with punches!

But Tuhai and Fuquan didn't know whose plan they had listened to, and they were making random arrangements.They actually put the Eight Banners soldiers, who were the least capable of fighting, on the front line, and later wanted to use the impact of the Eight Banners cavalry to smash Zhu San Taisun's spear formation.

Hehe, if Zhuobutai and Yue Le were to play, the third grandson of Zhu would have been beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.So this kid is not the old man's opponent, at least not yet. "

Wu Shilin asked: "Grandpa, since he is not your opponent, why don't you send troops to Jiangxi now to wipe out this scourge..."

"Shut up!" Wu Yingxiong stopped his son loudly without waiting for his son to finish speaking, "What do you know about using soldiers? How can you be so careless about military matters? How will you protect your family and country in the future?"

Wu Sangui listened to Wu Yingxiong's words, then peeked at Kong Sizhen who was frowning slightly, and just nodded slightly - Wu Yingxiong just didn't know how to fight, but it wasn't that he didn't know how to fight.Besides, Kong Sizhen couldn't influence him at all.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui said to Wu Shilin: "Shilin, the matter of using soldiers is far more complicated than you imagined. Although Zhu Heqi's military skills are a bit weak, his Taoist skills are very good... the old man used it in the Jianyangshui battle. All the mines and explosives were bought from him. Although there are still some in stock, they cannot support a protracted battle.

If Zhu Hechi dared to go deep into Huguang, the old man would naturally have a way to quickly defeat him in Huguang.

But if the battlefield is moved to Jiangxi, with the means of the third grandson of Zhu, as long as you choose a few dangerous places to build fortifications, there will be no problem for several years.The old man is so old, what if you get sick and die in the army, what will you and your father do? "

"Grandpa taught me the lesson." Wu Shilin immediately showed the face of a good grandson, "Grandson will follow grandpa every day from now on, and ask grandpa to teach grandson how to protect the family and the country."

Wu Sangui nodded in satisfaction. This kid said "defend the home and defend the country" instead of "fighting wars with soldiers", a child can be taught!

Then Wu Sangui said to Hong Shiming again: "Risheng, if you are not in a hurry to return to your command, you can go to Jiugong Mountain with the old man, Ying Xiong and Shilin."

"What am I going to Jiugong Mountain for?" Hong Shiming didn't seem to want to go, but wanted to go back and report to Emperor Kangxi earlier.

Now he has figured out Wu Sangui's old background, knowing that this old man has lost his ambitions, and now he wants to leave an iron bucket of land for his children and grandchildren that can be guarded.

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Go and listen to Zhu Heqi's reasoning! This third grandson of Zhu is the best at reasoning... Risheng, you are also well-read of sage books, don't you want to listen to it?"

……

Nanchang, Jiangxi, Prince Ning's Mansion.

At this time, Zhu Heqi, who is the most reasonable, is reasoning with people in the disrepaired Prince Ning's Mansion.

Immediately after the battle of Sanjiangkou Town, he took his first town, Liu Jinzhong's [-] elite soldiers, and the [-] troops who had defected on the battlefield, all rushed into Nanchang City.

And until today, he never left Nanchang City again.But these days when he was in Nanchang, his main energy was spent on reasoning.Even the Qing army who came down to Jiangdong through the Yangtze River waterway had no time to deal with it.

Who is he reasoning with?

Of course, it was reasoning with the officers and soldiers of King Geng's former army who turned against them in the battle of Sanjiangkou Town!

The army led by a group of "two, three, four, five, six ministers" has more experience in defection than in war!

If you don't explain the truth to them well, Zhu and Qi dare to take them to fight Emperor Kangxi?They sold Geng Jingzhong to Fuquan, turned around and sold Fuquan to Zhu Heyi, and by the way they hacked Geng Zhaozhong to death as a bonus.

With this kind of person, whoever is their boss is not at ease!

Therefore, before Zhu Heqi entered Nanchang, he put the whole army in the most important position.The army of the seven surrendering families must be wiped out!

And in order to get rid of the military power of the seven surrendering families, Zhu Heqi also put his mind to it.The first is to take their most confidant soldiers!

In the name of sending troops to occupy the territory, they pulled out the seven-person personal battalion and went to occupy the territory with Liu Jinzhong's army.

Liu Jinzhong originally had thirteen battalions of soldiers and horses, and now he added seven battalions to make up twenty battalions of soldiers, plus the twenty teams drawn by Zhu Heqi from the first town.Then the troops were divided into [-] groups to occupy various state capitals and important places in Jiangxi.

After the twenty battalions of soldiers and horses drove away, Zhu Heqi immediately opened a lecture hall in the original Daming Ning Palace where he lived. All the officers of the battalion and above are invited to the lecture hall, and then they personally reason with them.

At the same time, Zhu Heqi also sent a group of officers and soldiers from the first town who could speak Hokkien to the base of the original Geng's army under the name of "teaching the art of blasting thunder", and focused on recruiting Fujian recruits in the army—Geng Jingzhong's army There were not so many at first, and many were scattered by Yang Xiuqing in the Battle of Chaozhou, so many recruits were recruited, basically all from Fujian.As long as they are captured, the seven big surrenderers may lose their "freedom to surrender".

Chapter 329 They are all good boys!

Prince Ning's Mansion, Xinghualou.

This building with a nice name was built after King Ning Zhu Quan was in Nanchang. It has a history of more than 200 years. Although it has undergone several rounds of renovations, no one has taken good care of this small building since the end of Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Heqi moved into Prince Ning's Mansion, the former golden house of King Ning Zhu Quanzangjiao had become a dilapidated building, looking like it was about to collapse at any time, and many places were leaking from wind and rain.Zhu Heqi asked people to find some thatch to cover the roof, turning the "golden house" into a "thatched house".

Of course, the hut was not cut by Maoci. Although it was regarded as a place for theoretical lectures by Zhu and Qi, there was not even a desk or a chair inside.

Those who preached and those who listened to the lectures all sat on the ground kneeling, and if they could be covered with a soft futon, it was already a blessing from the saints.

Zhu Shengren and the "disciples" who came to listen to the class today are all dressed in the same clothes, with cloth and corner scarves, and long swords on their waists.

Of course, all the disciples wore wooden swords, while Zhu Heqi brought an iron sword. Now the iron sword is placed beside Putian where Zhu Heqi kneels, and the black scabbard exudes a chilling murderous aura. .

And on a whitewashed wall behind Zhu Heqi, there is also an "iron fist" for reasoning placed against the wall!

This "iron fist" looks a bit like a hammer, with a spindle-shaped head and an iron pipe that is "thicker and thinner than the mouth of a cup" underneath.

This thing is a weapon of reasoning!

When you are reasonable, clamp the pipe with your arm, and then pull off the two cables at the front and back, the black powder in the pipe will be ignited, and the thrust generated by the burning of the gunpowder will make the spindle-shaped "fist" made of bronze "Squirt out!

Because the iron pipe is ventilated at both ends, the gas produced by the deflagration of the gunpowder will be ejected to both ends, the force is dispersed, and the thrust is small, and the "fist" can only be sprayed twenty steps away.However, the power of the "fist" is still great, because it is filled with as much as a catty of sugar medicine, and sometimes the sugar medicine is made into a hollow charge...

Because of the limited range and even more limited output, this "iron fist" was not equipped with ordinary infantry, but was allocated to cavalry.On the battlefield of Sanjiangkou Town, the 150 cavalry led by Zhu Heqi had an iron fist in their hands—this is the real trump card!It's just that the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners were too cowardly, and the "Seven Great Surrenderers" turned their backs too quickly, so this hole card was useless.

However, when Zhu Hechi invited the "seven major surrenderers" and dozens of small surrenderers under them to Prince Ning's mansion to listen to the truth, his first class demonstrated in public how "Iron Fist" can penetrate Thick brick walls.

After the demonstration, the surrenderers all lay on the ground, crying bitterly, and conducted a deep review of their past behaviors. They all expressed that they would be born as ministers and die as ghosts in the future!

And they also proved this with practical actions-they have no objection to allowing Zhu and Qi to reorganize their army.

Soldiers, they have to obey orders and obey orders!

And in order to better listen to Zhu Heqi's reasoning, they all volunteered to move into Ning Wang's mansion and resigned from their original military positions... Now they are just good students of Zhu Heqi, and they are trembling every day, listening carefully, Don't dare to doze off and gossip in class.I have to do my homework when I go back, and I can't let the master do it for me, and the master can't enter Ning Wangfu.Where is the reason to bring a teacher to school?Of course, you can't bring bodyguards, and the little wife can only bring one.

This day is both hard and fulfilling!

And today, the first day of December in the second year of King Ding Jianguo, these dozens of surrenderers, big and small, graduated from the "Prince Ning's Mansion Short Training Course" organized by Zhu Heqi.

From now on, they will be glorious "disciples of saints"!

Moreover, Zhu Heqi will arrange new official positions for them based on their academic performance.

So these dozens of "sage disciples" all stared at Zhu Hechi with bated breath, not daring to make a sound!

In fact, Zhu Hechi looked down on these surrenderers, big and small... Even if necessary adjustments were made to their army, these people were still not very reliable.

Moreover, their military thinking is already outdated, even if it is an outdated military, they are very sloppy.If there is any merit, it is nothing more than swearing more fiercely, daring to lead a charge after drinking too much, and being a little cunning, able to fight "smart battles".

But Zhu and Qi still had to make do with them.

Because Zhu Heqi's own lineage is the "Guangdong Army", that is, Chaozhou, Cantonese, and Hakka. Even if you add the Yanping Wangfu line that is relatively close, there will be an extra Hokkien... In fact, Hokkien people and Chaozhou people are also far behind. not too much.

Relying on the Chaozhou Gang, the Guangfu Gang, the Hakka Gang, and the Minnan Gang, it is not difficult for Zhu Heqi to dominate Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.Maybe it can expand to Southeast Asia, but it is not enough to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world.

Therefore, he has to constantly absorb military and political talents from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian into the game, and sometimes he has to swallow some powerful factions who are not too powerful...even if they are "two, three, four, five, six ministers".

In fact, this kind of person also has good aspects. A small power group means that it is easy to "digest", and after digestion, you can get a ready-made army.The grass on the wall means that they are not good minions of the Qing Dynasty, as long as their strength is deprived to a certain extent, they can be used with confidence.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqian coughed and spoke: "Liu Yan, Zeng Yangxing, Zhao Desheng, Ma Weixing, Bai Xianzhong, Wang Jin, Wang Jingong!"

He first named the names of the seven major surrenderers.

"The students are here!"

The seven big capitulators responded with one voice.

Zhu Hexi said: "I checked the system of the Qing Yao recently, and found that the guards of the Qing Yao are a very good thing... It allows the generals to rotate between the military gate, the general army, and the ministers of the guards. In this way, the king can have more The contact with the generals will increase understanding and trust. The generals can also become the king's own people through the Suwei king, and can be more loyal."

"What the teacher said is very true."

"Teacher, students are also willing to guard by your side day and night!"

"Students implore the teacher to set up a bodyguard office..."

"Teacher, you should also set up a guard office!"

"Teacher, students are willing to be your guards!"

"Students are willing too!"

"Students only want to be able to follow the teacher..."

They are all good kids!

As soon as Zhu and Qi raised their heads, they knew how to answer, and the answers were all correct, and they all got [-] points.

Zhu Heqi smiled and nodded, and said: "Actually, I can't bear to bear you as a teacher... But you all have the talents of generals, and you can be the generals and soldiers, and you can't keep you by my side forever as a teacher. But right now, the teacher only has the first town in his hands, and there are not enough seats for you. You will temporarily serve in the attendants, and wait for the second town, the third town, the fourth town, the fifth town, and the navy town After the formation is completed, I will let you take turns going to each town to be the general army."

In fact, Zhu Heqi still has a few commander-in-chief positions that can be released. There is only one "field town" with mobile operations, but there are many "garrison towns" in garrison places.

Don't talk about Guangdong and Fujian, just talk about Jiangxi. Now there is a Jiangxi admiral and six generals including Nangan, Jiyuanlin, Guangrao, Fujianning, Nanchang, and Jiujiang.

Among them, the admiral of Jiangxi is Liu Jinzhong, and the six generals below are also Liu Jinzhong's old troops.

However, the strength of the six governor towns is very limited, and it was slightly expanded from Liu Jinzhong's Yongwei Battalion, with a total of only 7000 people.

And Zhu Heqi gathered a total of 2000 defectors in Jiangxi, and there were 6 left after excluding these.Including the more than [-] people in the first town, plus the tens of thousands of people who came from Guangdong one after another, there are a total of [-] people.

Zhu Hechi planned to mix up these 6 people, reorganize them into six towns, and then train for several months to a year, and then build more than a hundred warships that can fight in the Yangtze River.

Then you can go to the south of the Yangtze River to kill Zhenkang Mazi!

But now the reorganization of these six towns has only reached the battalion level - when the training of each battalion is completed, Xiehe Town can be formed.Therefore, Zhu Heqi could only arrange for the small surrenderers under the "seven major surrenderers" to serve as battalion generals, and there were no good seats for the seven major surrenderers for the time being.

In addition, Zhu and Qi also plan to take the seven of them on a trip to Jiugong Mountain... so that the heroes of the world can see their ability to transform the grass on the wall!

Chapter 330 Jiugong Mountain and the Hero Club

Dingwang Jianguo two years, December.

Quanzhou, Fujian.

This city, a center of maritime trade that was historically comparable to Guangzhou, is now full of vigor and joy just like Guangzhou under the rule of the Zhu family and Jingzhou under the rule of Wu Sangui.

This is now the capital of Fujian Province, because Geng Jingzhong withdrew quite suddenly, and the Huguang and Jiangxi battlefields changed too quickly, so Zhu and Qi had no extra troops to occupy Fujian.So the task of occupying Fujian was given to Yanping Palace.

Zheng Jing himself was appointed governor of Fujian, Chen Yonghua was appointed governor of Fujian, Liu Guoxuan served as admiral of Fujian, Hong Lei served as political envoy, Feng Xifan, He You, Wu Shu, Jiang Sheng, Lin Ying and Lin Sheng respectively Served as the general army of water and land, and divided the troops to attack the state capitals of Fujian.

Because Geng Jingzhong ran away by himself and took away all the Qing soldiers from all over Fujian, leaving only some good servants of the Qing Dynasty with their minzhuang to resist stubbornly.They did resist for a few days at the beginning... But soon the news that "Kangxi was crowned head and the Qing Dynasty was about to perish" came back from Jiangxi.

That's right, there is news that the Qing Dynasty is about to die!

Probably the northern soldiers who went to Fujian were not good at speaking "Hu Jian's words", and the result became more and more outrageous.
