Chapter 124 Departure to King Yanping

Chapter 124 Let’s go and go to King Yanping! (Please subscribe!)

After the Zhangzhou siege, the battlefield in southern Fujian gradually became quiet.

Behind the silence, new large-scale battles are often brewing.

"Lord Du Tong, you must not waste your time fighting!"

In the yamen of Quanzhou City, which had been looted by Zheng Kezang, Wan Zhengse persuaded Fuzhou General Hu Qiyuan not to fight with Zheng Kezang in the field.

Wan Zhengse clearly understands the combat effectiveness of the Guards, and there is no difference between fighting in the field and committing suicide.

He thought that he had finally reached a tacit understanding with Zheng Kezang, so that he would not harass Zheng Kezang in Quanzhou, and Zheng Kezang would not disturb him. As a result, when Hu Qiyuan and the two Tatars from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty came, he forced him to send troops.

, really angry!

As a first-class loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, he could not let the second master of the Eight Banners die.

For this reason, he had to fool Hu Qiyuan, all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!

"Since I became the land admiral, I have found that the combat effectiveness of the green battalion soldiers is low. Eighty-eight of them cannot fire a bow. Half of them have never practiced shooting. When they are in battle, they do not wait for the thieves to get close, so they swarm and shoot indiscriminately."

"I estimate that the 10,000 green battalions are not as good as the 1,000 Eighth Banner Heavenly Soldiers!" Wan Zhengse concluded that this lie was somewhat excessive, but it did not affect Hu Qiyuan's enjoyment.

"Hahaha, Admiral Wan, why not be so humble? I have heard that the pirates of the Ming Dynasty are most afraid of you. They say that every soldier has a raging army, and a den of generals is raging. With you here, it doesn't matter even if the Green Battalion's soldiers are weak in combat!" Hu Qiyuan did not.

Being blown away, he lost his judgment and decided to force Wan Zhengse to send troops to fight.

As if it aroused bad memories, Aze trembled violently.

"Don't forget, the pirates have sorcery and we can't defeat them! I have nightmares every night when I think of their charge." The soldier with sly eyebrows shuddered.

It was only autumn, but thinking about the way the Guards fought, they felt cold all over.

"Besides, there are many mountains in Zhangzhou. If we attack rashly, we will easily be ambushed." Wan Zhengse tried his best to deceive, and he fought hard for the peace of Zhangzhou!

It sounds reasonable, but Hu Qiyuan has doubts: "Admiral Wan, isn't this just standing still?"

"Aze, no big deal, the whole family will run away together. I heard the villagers got some good news!" A Liang said mysteriously.

What a good thing!

Therefore, no matter what Wan Zhengse said, Hu Qiyuan was determined to attack.

Wan Zhengse did not answer, but pretended to have an idea: "Lord Dutong, I have a plan!"

Hu Qiyuan was very interested, "Admiral Wan, what's the plan?"

The sly-eyed soldier glanced around: "What are you afraid of? We are surrounded by our own people! Tell me, the Master of the Eight Banners asked us to fight pirates, what should we do?"

"I suggest siege as the main task and attack as a supplement. That is to say, we should no longer blindly attack Zhangzhou, but instead prepare a good defense and let the pirates attack us." Wan Zhengse said seriously.

He didn't dare to stop him, lest he be wrongly accused of colluding with pirates.

"Offensive as a supplement means not just defense. If the pirates come to attack me, I can take the initiative to attack in order to maximize the enemy's ability to kill the pirates on land. I will use defense and counterattack." Wan Zhengse shook his head.

He looks like a defensive master.

"What's the news?" As soon as they heard something good happened, other soldiers also became interested.

"How about we run away together? I am familiar with the sentry posts in this camp!" There is strength in numbers, even if you are a deserter.

Aze, a soldier from the Green Camp, shook his head. He didn't want to take this risk, "A Liang, being a deserter will harm your family, and if you are caught, we will all die."

This idea is very tempting, but Wan Zhengse dare not do it.

After some common people heard that the Guards had withdrawn from Quanzhou City, they still did not give up and went to Quanzhou Port every now and then to try their luck. Unexpectedly, Wan Zhengse arrived.

Moreover, the Green Camp soldiers are basically local people, so they can be sure to catch them when the time comes.

How about killing Hu Qiyuan on the march?

However, Hu Qiyuan brought 2,000 Han Eight Banners and 30,000 Fuzhou Green Battalion. He did not come to be a coward with Wan Zhengse. He came to perform meritorious service.

The sly-looking A Liang was from Quanzhou Prefecture, and the news that Zheng Kezang was looking for help in Quanzhou with a lot of money had long been spread among the people.

To be honest, his thinking is a natural match for Nalan Mingzhu, which is a pity.

"Aze, have you heard that the Master of the Eight Banners is going to take us to fight the pirates!" said a green soldier with a rat head and a rat brain.

"We can fight as long as the Master of the Eight Banners tells us, what else can we do?" Aze was a tall man, but his words were more Buddhist.

"Based on the reports of the officials who escaped from Zhangzhou City on the food storage situation in the city, I concluded that Zhangzhou City will definitely run out of food in as little as five months and as many as seven or eight months. At that time, the city can be conquered in one fell swoop with minimal losses. This siege will be the main task.

."

After the land allocation was confirmed, those who failed to go there regretted it to death.

"There are so many people here, why did you forget what the Admiral told you?" A Ze said in a low voice.

Talking about the latter, Wan Zhengse's complexion became worse and worse. The official level was overwhelming, not to mention that the Eight Banners were already superior to others.

He, Hu Qiyuan, came to train in person, and now Bai Wanzhengse had nothing to say.

He knew he would have to face Zheng Kezang sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

However, under the camp, it seemed to be in full swing and there were some different emotions.

Then, he raised his index finger to his lips to signal his partner not to talk nonsense.

This little soldier, known as Aze, has a strong back and a strong back, and is considered a rare strong soldier in Fujian.

Hu Qiyuan was in high spirits and training his troops, while Wan Zhengse was gloomy and drank to drown his sorrows.

Other soldiers who talked quietly were also obviously hesitant. The risk was too great and they might as well serve as soldiers and feed themselves.

In the Quanzhou camp, the three main arms of the Green Battalion, the bird gunners, the sword and shield bearers, the spearmen, and the Fujian Green Battalion, were practicing intensively.

Hu Qiyuan is in his forties, has unlimited energy, and still wants to make progress!

Although the Han Eight Banners cannot have an unlimited limit like the Man Eight Banners, there is always hope for more meritorious deeds.

The punishment for deserters in the Qing Dynasty was very severe. If someone escaped in the military camp, he would be hanged directly.

It turned out that these people were the soldiers who had fled with Wan Zhengse before. Wan Zhengse had already given them hush money, and they had never made it public.

"It's just a group of pirates. We have 60,000 soldiers in Fujian during the Qing Dynasty. No matter how many pirates there are, there will only be 10,000 pirates. Mr. Wan, are you related to the pirates?" Hu Qiyuan said in a strange way. He was already very serious about Wan.

Save face.

The 60,000-strong army was well-organized. In the Qing Dynasty, they were considered to be elite soldiers. They sharpened their guns in battle and were unhappy. Didn't Wan Zhengse say that the green battalion soldiers were of no use?

Besides, in this era, the Manchu Eight Banners might not be as strong as him as the Han Eight Banners!

With no other choice, Wan Zhengse could only sigh and watch Hu Qiyuan organize an army to march into Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Immediately, Ah Liang told them the good news about the land allocated to Zheng Neng in the Ming Dynasty.

These people were tempted and took their families to run away. Whether they went to Yizhou Island or Luzon Island, they could escape the war and live and work in peace and contentment.

"King Yanping's army is in Zhangzhou now. It's not too late for us to bring our families to join them!" A Liang said beguilingly.

Just now, he was called a pirate, but in the blink of an eye, he was now called King Yanping. It seems that the deserters from the green camp changed their minds very quickly.

"Let's go!" Even Aze was tempted.
