Wang Xinyu carefully arranged the operation, which was originally to destroy the granary of the Qing army, but accidentally changed his plan and assassinated Hong Chengchou, the culprit of the Manchu rule in China.

The news of Hong Chengchou's assassination was sent to Qiongzhou Island early the next morning.

"Lord Jingluo!" Hong Chengqian was born in a personal guard, and Daniel Zhang, who was picked up by Hong Chengqing, cried and fainted.

The relatives and soldiers hurriedly surrounded them, pinched and fanned the wind, and smeared Daniel Zhang's temples with valuable gold oil produced in Nanyang, and after a while, Daniel Zhang slowly woke up.

By the way, this panacea balm is also one of the luxury goods sold to Wu Sangui by the Nanyang Company, and the Nanyang spices, the Eight Banners special offerings, the Nanyang Double Happiness cigarettes, the Nanyang transparent glass and other precious goods, are deeply loved by the Qing royal family, nobles, officials, gentry and big businessmen, especially the southerners, and the panacea that can prevent mosquito bites is a must-have.

"Lord Jingluo! You promoted the youngsters! But you're gone! Hateful thief! I, Zhang, swear that I must kill all of you rebels and thieves! Daniel Zhang cried so much that he was like his dead father.

"General Zhang, people can't be resurrected after death, Lord Jinglu has made a great contribution to my Qing Dynasty, and we will remember it!" General Jingnan Hahamu comforted, "What we have to do now is to fulfill the will of Lord Jinglu, we can't capture the thief's big city, so we will destroy their farmland, water conservancy facilities, wharves, iron mines and small cities!" Set fire to their plantations! Don't they like to eat something called chili? We take the pepper seeds and burn them all in one fire so that they can't eat it! ”

Next, the Qing army began to wreak havoc on Qiongzhou Island, destroying farmland everywhere. The wheat field planted in the tenth lunar month on Qiongzhou Island was saddled, and the Qing army entered the wheat field and trampled on it, turning all the wheat fields upside down, and finally released horses to eat all the seedlings. Subsequently, the Qing army went to destroy various plantations and farmlands such as tea forests, pepper fields, vegetable fields, watermelon fields, and fruit forests. The dam on the creek river was dug up by the Qing army. The waterwheels on the river were smashed and the irrigation canals were damaged.

Daniel Zhang came to a tea forest in a palanquin, watched the Qing soldiers swing an axe to cut down the tea trees, and he personally got off the palanquin, picked up an axe to chop the tea trees, and while chopping, he cursed in his mouth: "Reverse thief!" Coar! Aren't you very good at running? When our king comes, you will all run away! But if you can run, the monk can't run the temple! Lao Tzu has destroyed all your things, see what you eat and what you use next year! ”

After all, his legs were not good, and Daniel Zhang, who was scolding, suddenly stood unsteadily, and the axe was cut empty. A dog ate and fell into the tea field, falling into a mouth full of mud.

"My lord! My lord! Several pro-soldiers hurriedly helped Daniel Zhang up.

Everywhere the Qing army went, all the empty villages were destroyed by the Qing army, whether it was a bamboo building or a brick and wood house, they were all burned to ruins by the Qing army.

In the jungle, a pair of blood-red eyes stared angrily at the Qing army outside, these were local people hiding in the mountains and forests. When they saw that their hard-working homes were destroyed by the Qing army, everyone was heartbroken.

"Dog Tartar! Dead Tartars! If you burn down our home, we will definitely take revenge! Wang Xiaohu, a local hunter boy, looked angrily at the Qing soldiers outside.

Father Wang Liufu said: "As long as the Tartars dare to enter the mountain." We'll let them know we're awesome! ”

A small group of Qing troops entered the mountains to find the iron ore developed by Wang Xinyu. As a result, after the Qing army entered the mountains, they tasted the power of the local people. Inside the mountains and forests, on the mountain roads. Traps and traps are everywhere, which can shoot deadly poisonous arrows at any time, and even the stream water has been poisoned by the local people. The Qing army walked around the mountains, but not only did they not find Wang Xinyu's iron ore mine in Qiongzhou. On the contrary, he lost his troops in the mountains and had to withdraw from the mountains in disgrace.

The Qing army set fire to the mountain again, wanting to burn the mountain forest. However, Hainan's tropical rainforests are very humid, mossy and abundant. The Qing army set fire to the surrounding mountains and forests with fire oil, and after burning a little woods, the fire gradually extinguished when it encountered the damp forest in front of it, and failed to expand the area. In fact, even if the mountain fire was not extinguished naturally, it was impossible for the Qing army to burn all the mountains and forests in Qiongzhou, and the locals who retreated to the mountains cut down a forest and formed a firebreak when they saw the Qing army setting fire to Shaoshan Mountain. Even if the fire spreads, the locals have already drawn water and can extinguish the fire at any time.

The mountain was set on fire and failed, and the Qing army destroyed other facilities.

The wharves outside the city of Haikou, Lingao, Wenchang and other places were all wreaked havoc by the Qing army, the stone road leading to the wharf was dug by the Qing army, the wooden trestle was set on fire by the Qing army, the underwater wooden piles supporting the bridge deck were cut down, the floating wharf on the sea was also burned or sunk by the Qing army, the empty warehouse on the side of the wharf was burned to ruins, and even the ruins and broken walls were knocked down.

Qiongzhou City, Haikou City, Yazhou, Wenchang and other large cities could not be conquered by the Qing army, but many small cities, the Ming army could not defend them, so they could only transfer all the soldiers and civilians in the city, leaving the empty city for the Qing army. As a result, after the Qing army entered these small cities, they began to destroy the city walls, setting fire to the houses and yamen in the cities.

For a time, all parts of Qiongzhou Island were on fire, the city villages were completely destroyed, farmland orchards and plantations were destroyed, and the local economy of Qiongzhou was seriously affected and suffered heavy losses.

But the Qing army did not retreat in its entirety, the third town of the Nanyang Ming Army Mountain Army composed of the local Miao Li people, the officers and soldiers of Wolverine Town, with the cooperation of the local people, went out of the mountains at night to harass the Qing army, or set up ambushes on the way of the Qing army, or set traps. The Ming army in the city also found an opportunity to attack the Qing army and annihilated many Qing troops.

Zheng Yun is still brewing a bigger plan: when the Qing army withdraws, he will lead the army to attack. Others were half-crossed, and she waited for most of the Qing troops to get on the boat, leaving only one tail on Qiongzhou Island, when the Ming army attacked, cut off the tail of the Qing army, and left it on Qiongzhou Island. Originally, her attack plan would not have succeeded, Hong Chengchou actually had the next step: deliberately releasing the news of the withdrawal of the army, destroying it everywhere, and then the Qing army pretended to retreat, luring the Ming army out, and setting up an ambush on the way. If the Ming army did not attack, the Qing army would retreat. However, Hong Chengchou was accidentally assassinated before he could make further arrangements, which made it impossible for the Qing army's plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Thousands of miles away in Anping City, Wang Xinyu sat at the top of the castle in the Yanping King Assembly Hall, and there was Hong Chengchou's head on the table in front of him.

The speed of the catamaran is indeed very fast, and it only took three days and three nights to sail from the Leizhou Peninsula to Dongfan. The head of Hong Chengchou cut off by the Einsatzgruppen was also sent to Dongfan.

In fact, the catamaran sailed for three days and three nights from the Leizhou Peninsula to Dongfan, which is slow, and the fastest only takes more than 30 hours! It's just that the ship is fully loaded, and it carries more than a hundred people and twenty war horses. For the sake of safety, and in order to prevent the strong man who killed Hong Chengchou from being too uncomfortable during the journey, the ship sailed slowly.

"Good death! Deserve! Hahaha! Wang Xinyu laughed heartily. Since he came to this era, first Zhou Lianggong, then Gao Jinku, the general soldier of Qiongzhou, then Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong, Xu Chenggong, and Li Zhizhen, the general soldier of Guangzhou, and then Li Dingguo killed Mu Zhan with his own help. Then sniped the first-class Gongdingxi generals Ai Xinga and Dorobezi, and the battle of Jiangnan killed the son of Wuxun King Feiyangu, Hewu, forced the Qing army veteran Luo Keduo to commit suicide, captured and killed the Hangzhou general Songkui, captured and beheaded the traitor Cai Yurong, and more than ten famous generals of the Qing court died directly or indirectly in their own hands, but these previous results were not as exciting as killing Hong Chengchou.

Since Hong Chengchou descended to the Qing Dynasty, he has done his best to contribute to the Qing court. He vowed to let the Qing court rule the world and turn all Han people into Manchu slaves, only in this way, he was scolded by his mother. Spurned by his younger brother, he can find psychological balance when he betrays his relatives, and only by doing more ruthlessly than his master treats the Han people who resist, can he be appreciated by his master. From the master where to get the hereditary title. So Hong Chengchou really started to do this.

It can be said that without Hong Chengchou, it would be impossible for the Qing court to easily occupy the entire north, nor would it be impossible to occupy the entire south so quickly.

Every time I think of it, someone later established Hong Chengchou's patriotic education base. Wang Xinyu's heart was furious. Now the head of Hong Chengchou, the "hero who promotes national integration", has fallen into his own hands, which is simply very happy!

"Give Cai Jiuyi a great credit to them! Cai Jiuyi and Fang Huicheng, who personally killed Hong Chengchou, were each rewarded with two thousand taels of silver, and they were crowned marquis! Wu Tiancheng and the other three were each rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and they were feuded! All the members of the rest of the action team will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver each, and thousands of households will be sealed! The families of the five members of the action team who died in the battle received a pension of 1,000 taels, and their son was named the general manager! Immediately plan to play the fold, this king is going to play the court to ask for a reward! Wang Xinyu said loudly. Although he already has great power, if he wants to give others the title of marquis and uncle, he still has to ask for the imperial decree. Yongli's face still has to be given, and it can't be done too much.

Even Zheng Cong applauded Hong Chengchou's beheading: "Master Cai killed Hong Lao Thief, good killing!" It's a pity that there are still many people on this list of ministers who are at large! ”

"Little prince, rest assured! As long as we work together, these ministers will not end well! Wang Xinyu nodded.

At this time, another catamaran sent a battle report from Qiongzhou, saying that the Qing army was clearly preparing to withdraw, and at this time the Qing army was wreaking havoc on the island.

The second catamaran speed, carrying two messengers, was extremely fast, leaving two days later than Cai Jiuyi's boat, and arrived in Qiongzhou half a day late. This is the benefit of the two catamaran clippers in Wang Xinyu's hands, in this era when there are no radio waves, the war report is transmitted by people, with this fast sea transportation tool, you can grasp the battle report in advance, make adjustments in time, and seize the opportunity over others. This kind of ship, which cost a lot of money to build, is very useful.

"It looks like the Tartars are going to withdraw their troops from Qiongzhou!" Wang Xinyu shook his head again and again when he heard the news.

"What a shame!" Zheng Cong sighed, "Originally, we were going to leave the Tartars on Qiongzhou Island, but now the Tartars are going to run away!" Xiao Wang estimated that Hong Laogou must have smelled something bad before withdrawing the army! I just hate that this old dog died one step too late! ”

"It must be Old Dog Hong!" Wang Xinyu pointed to Hong Chengchou's head and said indignantly, "This old dog has a keen sense of smell, it is estimated that he withdrew his troops because he felt bad, and he also sabotaged the construction of our island!" It's hateful! Before this old dog died, he did his best for the Tartar! It's a pity that we were too cheap for him, so we cut him with a knife, and didn't catch him and torture him slowly! ”

"The matter has come to this, and our plan to annihilate the Guangdong Green Camp has also come to naught! This will be very detrimental to our future attack on Guangdong! I don't know if there is a chance to kill Shang Kexi, this old turtle! Zheng Cong said worriedly.

"Let's settle the account slowly! This old tortoise, I will destroy his whole clan! Wang Xinyu said. All the ministers must be eliminated, especially Shang Kexi, who has already been on Wang Xinyu's list of exterminations! He secretly vowed to kill all the men of the Shang family one day, so who would brazenly establish the Shang Kexi Memorial Hall in the future? However, Wang Xinyu is not worried that Shang Kexi will not die, and believes that with the development of the situation, Wu Sangui is likely to oppose the Qing Dynasty in advance, and Shang Zhixin will also rebel at that time. However, Shang Zhixin's first rat at both ends was shaken between Wu Sangui and the Qing court, and when that time came, he could unite with the Wu army to attack Shang Zhixin and fight to return to Guangdong.

However, it is gratifying to destroy Shang Kexi, that is a later matter, and now we must first pacify the internal strife between Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi.

"Brother-in-law, it's almost the New Year, let's send troops to Xiamen a year ago to pacify those two traitors! In this way, we can have a good year with peace of mind. Zheng Cong proposed.

"It's also strange, Zheng Xi's transport fleet originally went back and forth in fifteen days, but now fifteen days have passed, and Zheng Zheng's transport fleet hasn't come yet? Originally, my plan was to wait for the arrival of the Zheng raid fleet, we captured their people, and then sent troops to Xiamen Island under the banner of the Zheng raid transport fleet, so as to pacify the two thieves. Now it's also strange, why hasn't Zheng raided the fleet yet? If not, we will wait a few more days, and if we can't wait for Zheng's fleet, we won't wait. Wang Xinyu stood up.

"What about the head of this old dog?" Zheng Cong asked, pointing to Hong Chengchou's head.

"Hang it on the gates of the city! When we go back to Jiangnan, take the head of the old dog to Jiangnan and let it be displayed! In the future, the head of the traitor and the second minister will be used as the Beijing view, and the head of this old dog can be placed on the top! Wang Xinyu said.

Another three days passed, and Wang Xinyu finally waited for Zheng Xi's transport fleet.

In the waters west of Anping City, a flying clipper patrolling boat spotted a fleet of ships under the banner of Zheng Xian heading towards Dongfan Island. The clipper immediately returned to Anping City and reported the incident to Wang Xinyu.

"Excellent! The order went down, and immediately lowered the banner of the Qiongzhou Army and Zheng Cong Yanping Wang's Army! Change to the banner of the king of the eastern capital! Welcome Zheng Xi's fleet in! Wang Xinyu gave an order.

In the major ports of Anping City and the Taijiang Inland Sea, all the banners of the Qiongzhou Army and the King of Yanping were lowered and replaced with the banner of the king of the eastern capital of Zheng Raid, and the banner of the dead Zheng raid general Cao Conglong was also played.
