The commander of the Qing Army in Guangxi is Sun Yanling, but everyone knows that Sun Yanling is just a cover. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info A son-in-law brother with great ambitions and talents, he dreams of taking over Kong Youde's title of King of Dingnan all day long, and he also thinks that if he marries Kong Sizhen, he can take over the title of King of Dingnan as a matter of course.

It's a pity that Kong Sizhen's loyalty to the old witch of Xiaozhuang far exceeds his loyalty to his cuckold husband. Poor Sun Yanling didn't get a single original item, and he wore a big stack of green hats on his head.

Kong Sizhen can be said to be loyal to Shunzhi who took away her for the first time, after Shunzhi's death, she obeyed Bumu Butai's arrangement, and tried every means to make trouble for the three major vassal kings, eager to help Emperor Xiao Mazi solve all the vassal kings immediately, how could she let her useless husband be the king of Dingnan.

Even if the imperial court can send the title of King of Dingnan to Guangxi again, it will not be Sun Yanling's turn. In that year, it was Lian Guoan who "recovered" Guangxi and drove away Li Dingguo, the highest status and highest prestige in the Guangxi army, followed by Li Ruchun, and then Kong Sizhen, so it was impossible for him to take Sun Yanling's turn.

This time, the Guangxi Qing army came to the rescue of Guangdong, the nominal commander Sun Yanling, in fact, it was Kong Sizhen who held the military power, and the generals under his command were Sun Yanji, Wang Yongnian, Ma Xiong, Liu Yanming, Xu Hongzhen, Xu Shangyuan, Meng Yimao, Hu Tongchun, Li Yidi, and the military advisor was Fu Honglie.

However, the most prestigious line Guoan, Li Ruchun and Wen Ruzhen in Guangxi did not come, line Guoan and Li Ruchun are already old, line Guoan's son and daughter are full of contradictions with Kong Sizhen, naturally it is impossible to send troops, so they used the excuse of sitting in Guangxi to guard against Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, and also to guard against Wu Sangui, so they did not send troops.

The strength of the Qing army in Guangxi was more than 3,000 people in the Eight Banner Army of the Han Dynasty in Dingnan Wangfu, more than 1,000 people in the Eight Banner Army of Manchu and Mongolia in Guangxi, and more than 15,000 people in the Green Camp Army in Guangxi.

In addition, there is the prince of the Qing court who came down from Hunan, and the king of Shuncheng County, Leer Jin, all of whom are all Sege. Leerjin led 3,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banner Army, 6,000 Han Eight Banner Army and 20,000 Green Battalion Army to enter Guangxi from Lingqu, and then went down the river to Guangdong.

At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, and there was no Beijing-Guangzhou railway, so the army wanted to enter Guangdong from Hunan, either by the Ganzhou waterway or by the Guangxi Lingqu. Of course, you can also take Shaozhou to enter Guangdong, that is, the route through which the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway passed in later generations. However, the terrain of Shaozhou is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Le Erjin, who has a large number of cavalry, is worried that his cavalry will be attacked by the Ming army in the mountainous area, and the cavalry will not be able to exert its power in the mountainous area, so he will take the near and far, and take the waterway to detour through Guangxi into Guangdong.

Kong Sizhen's brigade was in front, and Leerjin came relatively late, and there were still five days to go behind Kong Sizhen.

In the camp of the Qing Army in Guangxi, Kong Sizhen, who was dressed in military uniform, was discussing with the generals of the Guangxi army.

"General! Chattered! Something is wrong! A spy hurriedly came to report, "The new meeting in front has been occupied by Haikou Mingchao!" ”

Xinhui was an important stronghold of Guangxi leading to the city of Guangzhou, Xinhui controlled the two waterways of the Tanjiang River and the Xijiang River, as long as Xinhui was occupied, it would be difficult for the Qing army to enter Guangzhou from the Xijiang River by water. When Li Dingguo attacked Guangzhou, it was also after the defeat of Xinhui, and all plans came to naught.

Kong Sizhen was shocked: "Xinhui lost? How did thieves bypass Guangzhou to Xinhui? ”

The spy replied, "The thieves came from the sea!" ”

Kong Sizhen asked suspiciously: "Doesn't it mean that the people of Xinhui are all loyal martyrs of the imperial court?" How did they not resist? Back then, they were not afraid to resist the western thief Li Wei for eight or nine months, how could they be defeated so quickly today? ”

The spy replied with a sad face: "The people of Xinhui have resisted! Who knew that the pirates were so mad that they brazenly bombarded the city wall with their cannons, regardless of the women and children, the old and the weak! That's miserable! I heard from the people nearby that when a row of shells went down, hundreds of people were killed! The people of Xinhui couldn't stop it, and they were attacked into the city by thieves, and the thieves slaughtered the city! Poor Xinhui, the whole city was slaughtered, not even the women and children were spared! ”

Wang Xinyu first killed more than 7,000 people who stubbornly resisted, and then loaded the people of Xinhui on a boat at night and sent them away, the whole city of Xinhui was empty, and the Qing army spies and the surrounding people did not know, and thought that the whole city of Xinhui was slaughtered.

Kong Sizhen has always been grateful to the people of Xinhui, because Li Dingguo, who killed her father, was defeated in Xinhui! Hearing that the spies said that the whole city of Xinhui was slaughtered, Kong Sizhen actually cried loudly: "Poor Xinhui people, the whole city is loyal and martyred!" They helped the slave block the western thief Li Yi, and they also helped the slave to take revenge, but it was a pity that they were poisoned by the thief! ”

Sun Yanling saw his wife crying loudly, crying so earth-shatteringly, this straw bag boy brother was so frightened that he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.

Kong Sizhen saw that her husband, who was not angry, was like a wooden man, and she didn't know how to use this incident to build momentum at all, and she was already angry in her heart, but the play had to continue, so she cried so much that her head was crooked, her mouth foamed, and she fainted.

"Gege! Chattered! A group of loyal minions and generals gathered around.

Sun Yanling pinched Kong Sizhen's middle point, and after a while, Kong Sizhen slowly woke up.

"Gege, please mourn! The people of Xinhui, the whole city is loyal to the martyrs, so it is natural to play the court and build a martyr's workshop for the people of Xinhui! Sun Yanling comforted Kong Sizhen and said.

Who knew that Kong Sizhen "bah" Sun Yanling's face, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her eyes were wide with anger, and she pointed at Sun Yanling and shouted: "Build a martyr's fang?" Is it useful to say this now? The thieves killed the people of Xinhui, and the top priority is to avenge the people of Xinhui! Someone! Fetch a white cloth for the old lady! The old lady wants the whole army to wear filial piety, and the sword is pointed at the new meeting! ”

Fu Honglie stepped forward and arched his hand: "Gege, the Haikou harmed the people of the Qing Dynasty, and now our army is playing the banner of avenging the people, this is the victory of the mourning soldiers!" This battle of Gege will definitely eradicate the great trouble of my Qing Dynasty and make a miraculous achievement! ”

Kong Sizhen glanced at Fu Honglie with satisfaction, and thought to herself: My husband who is not angry, it would be good if this slave was half smart!

The Qing army in Guangxi found a large number of white cloths, and the whole army wore filial piety, and played a big banner with "revenge and hatred" written on it, and killed it in a mighty way towards Xinhui City.

Originally, there were no people in Xinhui City, and nothing could be looted under Xinhui, which dealt a great blow to the morale of the Qing army. However, Kong Sizhen's army was stricter, and he did not rely on slaughtering cities and plundering the people to improve morale, not to mention that the soldiers in Guangxi were fierce and good at fighting, and many of them were wolf soldiers composed of local mountain people, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong.

Kong Sizhen's own Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty came from Wuzhen Chaoha in Kong Youde's era, and was later compiled into the Tianyou Army. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty seized almost the entire world, the Tianyou Army became the Eight Banners Army of the King of Dingnan and Han.

The Qing army was approaching Xinhui City, and the Qiongzhou army was already in full battle.

"Look at these tartars, it's ridiculous! Actually played the banner of avenging the people! It's just ridiculous and generous! The reason why the people of Xinhui resisted Wang Shi was not because they were frightened by the butcher's knife of the Tartar? They also have the face to play such a banner? Don't talk about the people of Yangzhou, Jiading, and Nanchang, just say how many innocent people did the Tartars kill in Guangzhou in the nearest Guangzhou? Pointing to the banner raised by the Qing army, Wang Xinyu sneered.

Yao Qisheng stroked his beard and smiled: "Kong Sizhen said that he wanted to avenge the people of Xinhui, which is still understandable. Kong Youde died at the hands of the King of Jin, and the people of Xinhui helped the Tartars to repel the King of Jin, and Kong Sizhen was indeed grateful to the people of Xinhui. ”

Jiang Zhiping said: "How did I hear that Sun Yanling is the green hat king of Guangxi?" ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone in the city laughed.

Wang Xinyu smiled and nodded: "Sun Yanling has a lot of green hats on his head, but well, he wore those green hats, and he still felt that they were very glorious, you think, the first green hat was given to him by the Tartar Emperor Fulin, this green hat, how glorious!" Wearing it on Sun Yanling's head, he felt faced! ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed even more.

The Qing army camped three miles away, arranged positions, dug trenches, and auxiliary troops went to build siege weapons and prepare for the siege. However, the Qing army did not dare to approach the river, and there were six British fourth-class cruisers, more than a dozen fifth-class cruisers, and a large number of Fuchuan-type gunboats moored on the river.

Xinhui was close to the river on one side, and the Qing army could not even surround it on three sides, so it could only surround one side, and the other two sides were half surrounded by half.

On and off the city, the two sides confronted each other for five days, the Ming army and the Qing army looked at each other from afar, and no war broke out in these days, and they were at peace with each other, but everyone knew that a big war was already on the verge of breaking out.

The Qing army set up four barracks outside Xinhui City, two in the north and two in the west. In fact, Kong Sizhen didn't expect to be able to trap the Ming army with a powerful sailor at all, she just wanted to scare the Ming army away, and it would be enough to pass through the Xinhui.

There is a fleet on the river to contain the Qing army, and the Qing army's attack line has become very single, leaving only the west side to attack, and the Qiongzhou army does not need to deploy too many troops on the other two sides, as long as a few observation posts are left to prevent the Qing army from sneaking attack. Since the Qing army could not spread out, this was very beneficial to the defenders.

In fact, Fu Honglie also discovered this problem, and he made a suggestion to Kong Sizhen: "Gege, the slave feels that this battle is very unfavorable to us!" The thieves held on to the city, and they still had gunboats on the river. We can't use our forces, not to mention the east, we can't use the south and the north, so we can only attack the west. Also, the thieves have fortified a number of fortresses on the city walls, which may increase our siege casualties. ”

Kong Sizhen said: "The matter has come to this, we must fight this battle!" If you don't fight, King Pingnan will be finished! The king of Jingnan has been destroyed by the seamen, and the king of Pingxi is a troubled person of the court, but this king of Pingnan is loyal to the court! He also asked to withdraw the domain, such a loyal minister, how can I not save it? ”

"It's just that these fortresses are very weird! According to the observation of the minions, when our army is attacking the city, with these fortresses, our army's siege troops will be attacked from three sides, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses! Fu Honglie pointed to the fortress at the head of the city and said.

Kong Sizhen sighed: "Zhongmou, you don't know, although Shang Kexi is loyal, but Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, has a different heart!" The slaves have been found out! If our army can't enter Guangzhou, I'm afraid that Shang Zhixin, a dog who eats inside and out, will surrender to Minggou! Then Guangzhou will be finished! General Hahamu is also finished! ”

"Gege, are we going to make a detour from Shaozhou? Inform the king of Pingnan, and say that his son has different intentions, and let the king of Pingnan be careful of his son? Sun Yanling proposed.

Kong Sizhen shook his head and said, "Shang Zhixin has long had a different heart!" The Pingnan Mansion is full of his people! Several eyeliners of the slave faction were actually killed by him! This letter is also bold! What's the use of a few people we send? As long as the army can't go to Guangzhou, how many people we go to will die in vain! ”

In fact, Kong Sizhen is quite powerful in both her judgment ability and her intelligence department, she has long known that Shang Zhixin is an unstable factor, not to mention Wu Sangui in the southwest, these two guys are not loyal to the imperial court!

Kong Sizhen still has a leg of monk Zhixiao, and she has always wanted to help Shang Zhixiao seize the position of the prince of Pingnan. And Shang Zhixiao's ability is much worse, as long as he becomes the king of Pingnan, Kong Sizhen has a way to weaken his strength until he finally withdraws the domain.

Now it is Xinhui blocking the way of the Guangxi army, Kong Sizhen has decided to attack it no matter what the cost! In order to be loyal to the imperial court, she can pay any price, just to repay the emperor's kindness.

After five days of preparation, the Qing army finally began to attack the city.

This time, in fact, the Ming army was very good to fight, because not only the Ming army had the protection of the city wall, but also the Ming army did not have the upper hand in the comparison of troops, the Ming army had 13,000 soldiers, 30,000 auxiliary soldiers and people, and 10,000 sailors on the river, adding up to the total strength of the Qing army, especially the number of soldiers was not much less, and there were sailors and gunboats to cooperate.

It's just that now Wang Xinyu doesn't want to take the initiative to attack in order to reduce his own losses, Kong Sizhen is coming to attack the city, so let her meet under the city and break the bloodstream.

The Qing army began to attack the city, and as soon as the sky was bright, rows of shield carts suddenly appeared in the early morning mist and pushed towards the Xinhui city wall. In the camp of the Qing army, the drums beat loudly, and groups of Qing soldiers rushed out of the camp, lined up at a position of 1,000 steps in front of the city wall, and blocked the road in front of the city gate. The rattan soldiers were in the front, the pikemen were in the center, the archers and musketeers were in the back, and the horse repulsion pistols were placed in front of the formation to prevent the Ming army from going out of the city and charging into battle.

"Good fellow, more than two hundred shield carts came at once!" Wang Xinyu put down the binoculars and said.

At the head of the city, a three-pounder, four-pounder and six-pounder guns stretched out from behind the battlements and aimed at the shield wagons of the Qing army, which were slowly advancing.

The distance is still far away, and if you fire artillery to bombard the shield car at this time, the effect is very poor. The Qiongzhou army did not open fire rashly, but braked quietly, waiting for the shield car of the Qing army to approach.

When the shield cart entered and was still two hundred steps away from the city wall, Wang Xinyu ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

At the head of the city, a cannon spat out fireballs, and black cannonballs swirled and flew towards the shield car array. The shells fired at a distance of only two hundred paces pierced into the formation of the Qing army in rows. In the blink of an eye, several shield carts were hit by shells, and the shield carts that were shot were like children who had been hit hard, and they were crooked to the side, paralyzed in the middle of the road, the wooden planks on the shield carts were torn apart, and dozens of Qing soldiers were crushed under the flying shells.
