Chapter 141: The Battle of the Three Waters

Shaowu's side has not yet discussed the deployment of the battle plan, Lin Jiading is lightning fast. The assault reached the vicinity of Guangzhou Cheng.

It's near the left of Sanshui County.

For a time, the Shaowu court was full of surprise.

What is the three waters, the Beijiang River is one water, the Xijiang River is one water, and the confluence is one water. Sanshui is the confluence of the West and North rivers, blocking two waterways, leaving Guangzhou without control of most of the area west of Guangzhou.

Not to mention, between Sanshui and Guangzhou, close at hand, it can even be said that chickens and dogs smell each other. Now, it is also a suburb of Guangzhou.

Lin Jiading was menacing, and the Shaowu Imperial Court immediately abandoned all other ideas, and all voices converged into one word. That is: "War." ”

Shaowu didn't believe in others, so he immediately worshiped Ding Chukui, supervised the teacher as a cabinet scholar, and poured all the departments in Guangzhou to Sanshui.

Lin Jiading didn't know if he went in the previous time and consumed too much physical strength of his subordinates, or if he wanted to wait for work, he actually repaired in Sanshui, as if he wanted to fight.

The two sides lined up near the landscape. Ding Chukui ascended to the top and looked at it, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he said secretly: "Guangxi wolf soldiers." ”

Ding Chukui saw a lot of soldiers, dressed in animal skins, stepping on straw sandals, and wearing various headdresses on their heads and faces, mostly made of bones. It seemed like a savage air was pervading.

Exactly what he was worried about.

Although Ding Chukui had never fought in the southwest, he also knew that regardless of the rebellious An clan and the Sha clan. is still the head of the imperial court, the Wa clan, the Qin clan, and the people led by them are essentially Tusi soldiers. It's just that it's called differently everywhere.

The quality of these Tusi soldiers far surpassed that of ordinary soldiers, and even the bandits and pirates under his command were probably very inferior.

Ding Chukui knew very well in his heart that the soldiers under his command could only fight in two, one of which was the Ding family army he brought from Henan.

The Ding family army is a capable general recruited by Ding Qirui when he first supervised the Central Plains to protect the Ding family in Yongcheng. At the time of Liu Chaoyong's change. Ding Chukui used these soldiers as the foundation, recruited the local people of Yongcheng, and assisted Ma Shiying in assessing Liu Chao's rebellion to have the capital to make a comeback.

Now this army is regarded as a treasure by Ding Chukui, and he is naturally unwilling to lose a slight, but now there are only about 5,000 people, and all the officers are from Yongcheng, Henan.

The other is Li Guo's department.

Li Guo can kill from the dead address of Ganzhou, and he can already see Li Guo's ability, not to mention that Li Guo's department is a cavalry, and everyone else is full.

Hard-fought battles, not to mention whether they can win or not, the casualties after victory alone are not something they can bear.

"In this battle, we should outwit and not attack." Ding Chukui said secretly in his heart.

But how to outwit it, Ding Chukui couldn't think of anything for a while, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Please General Lin come over." ”

In just a few moments, Lin Cha came.

A pirate is not the same as a pirate. Among these pirates, there are many people who just want to go ashore temporarily, like Zheng Zhilong to study, but there are also people who feel that being a pirate is not a long-term solution, and really want to be an official soldier.

And Lincha is one of them.

"The last general will meet Lord Ding." Lin Cha said: "I don't know if the adult is called the end of the future, I don't know what to do?" ”

Ding Chukui said: "I heard that General Lin and Lin Jiading are the same clan? ”

After hearing this, Lin Cha said with a wry smile: "If yes, yes." If it's not, it's not. Lin is a big surname in Fujian, and almost everywhere there are people in Fujian, there are people with the surname Lin. If the surname Lin is the same clan, then they look down on the Putian Lin family too much. ”

"Putian Lin." Ding Chukui said: "Lin Jiading is the Putian Lin family? ”

"Exactly." Lin Cha said: "My Zhangzhou Lin clan is also a big clan, but it is not as powerful as the Putian Lin clan." ”

The Putian Lin family was also a well-known family in the Ming Dynasty.

The Putian Lin family has a long history, not to mention anything else, how many Jinshi were in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it is a Jinshi heirloom. Therefore, the door of the house is quite high and unconventional.

Fujian Lin family hundreds of years ago, it was also a family, but it was only a few hundred years ago, the world was chaotic, and now hundreds of years later, they just look at each other more, even if the ancient clan consciousness is strong, they will not regard the entire Fujian surname Lin as their own family.

Ding Chukui said: "No matter what, you and Lin Jiading still have some origins. I have one thing for you to do, as long as it is done, I will allow you to be the general soldier of Guangdong. ”

Lin Cha's heart jumped suddenly. Therefore, the value of the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty has greatly shrunk compared to the Chongzhen Dynasty. But no matter how Zhang Xuan said that it has shrunk, a chief military officer is beyond the reach of Lin Cha, who has just surrendered.

"Mazu bless, I did this vote." Lin Cha said secretly in his heart. He said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, please." ”

Ding Chukui said: "So, so. ”

Lin Cha understood. Although he felt that it was dangerous, he already felt that it was not impossible to do so, and the gambling nature of the pirates made Lin Cha decide to make this vote.

"What do you generals think?" Lin Jiading looks polite, has a clear voice, and his eyes sweep everyone like lightning.

Lin Jiading held a letter in his hand, this letter was a letter from Lin Cha, and the family style of the Putian Lin family mentioned above expressed his admiration. Then he said that the Lin family of Zhangzhou and the Lin family of Putian have the same origin, and then said that he had no choice but to defect to Guangzhou in the face of the Zheng family, and later learned that this Guangzhou is not orthodox, and he wanted to switch to Yongli, and he was worried that Yongli would not be accepted. even implies between the lines that his actions do not represent himself. There were a lot of people behind him.

It makes people can't help but think about it. In the end, he said that he wanted to talk to Lin Jiading, and the place he made an appointment was also a flat land. But there is nothing to ambush.

"The adult's magic is thousands of miles away, how to make your own adult decision, I just obey the order." After one person said it, the other generals said it one after another.

It's just that there is a slight hint of irony in the tone, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't hear it.

When they do this, they also understand what kind of person Lin Jiading is.

For the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the best way to command was that the civil officials presided over the grand strategy, and the military generals just obeyed orders.

Lin Jiaen is a representative of this kind of thinking, so in his opinion, these generals are not capable of pointing fingers at strategy at all, so what he asks is just superficial work, if anyone takes it seriously, it is called unlucky.

So these people also understand that naturally they don't talk much, but they just go along with it.

Lin Jiading nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just go for it." ”

"My lord, by all means." Lin Jiading still has a few diehards. They admonished, "My lord, beware of thieves and deceitfuls. ”

Lin Jiading sneered and said: "I'm not afraid of fraud, it's better if he has fraud." ”

If this appointment is a trap. Lin Jiading speculated that it was just a heavy deployment of troops near this small plain, ready to attack at any time. Take his Lin Jiading's life.

But such terrain is destined to be unsuitable for ambushes.

It's easy to go from an ambush to a storm.

Such a situation is also very suitable for Lin Jiading's thoughts. For no other reason, he also wanted a big fight. After all, a quick solution in such a situation is also what he expects.

Of course, what he expected was to defeat Ding Chukui in a big battle and return to the court with victory. Instead of being ambushed, he began to prepare.

Only with complete preparation would he dare to take this risk.

For a while, the two sides looked light, and they didn't know how many secret hands were arranged. I just want the other party to not know, this kind of taste of wanting to cover up makes the beginning of this war with a funny feeling.

The sun and the moon passed, and the day was only twelve hours, and under such intense preparations, it passed quickly. When the sun rises high on the second day. The appointed time has come.

Lin Cha took a deep breath. Secret passage in the heart; "Whether this vote can be made or not depends on this one." He led dozens of people with him, all of whom were short and swarthy, and they were good hands on the ship. I just don't know how much strength this ship's good hands can exert on the ground. ”
