Chapter 241: Loyal ministers will be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
After issuing the order hastily, many surrounding garrisons arrived, but they were only slightly emboldened. Li Benzhen did not feel relaxed and could only pray that the Ming army would not come to attack Guiyang.
"An army of one hundred thousand?" Li Benzhen raised his eyes, glanced dejectedly at the officers who came to report, and then lowered his head to read the book of arrows.
The officer bowed and said: "Sir, the fake clan members are patrolling outside the city, and they seem to be followed by the prince. Why don't you go to the city to distinguish the true from the false?"
Li Benzhen's hands trembled and he did not answer directly.
Whether Wu Sangui dies or surrenders to the Ming army, the result is the same for him. It means that the backer has fallen and Guiyang cannot be saved.
Seeing that the admiral did not speak, the officer reported again: "Governor Luo went to the city with Fu Biao to patrol, saying that he wanted to scold the false clan and the prince, making them ashamed and dying of shame."
Huh, Li Benzhen only used a nasal sound to indicate Qingzhu, then waved his hand gently and ordered the officer to retreat.
"The Ming army conquered important towns in succession, seemingly effortlessly. I heard that it was the power of the third prince's fire virtue that could summon thunder and blow open the city walls."
Li Benshen frowned and fell into deep thought.
"I heard that the third prince will never show mercy to the officers and generals who dare to resist. Even if they surrender after the city is broken, they will be killed without mercy, and their homes will be confiscated and their families will be destroyed."
"History is written by losers. Those traitors and traitors will be nailed to the pillar of shame. Like Qin Hui, they will be reviled forever."
The Ming army and others stopped to listen, but what they heard was true. No guard volunteered and ventured close to the city wall. They listened vaguely before returning to report.
The Ming army's next order denied Zhang Shangshu's wild thoughts. After thinking for a long time, my eyes lit up and I understood the profound meaning that the palace wanted to spread widely.
But it was clear that Huang Li had become an army that listened to orders and propaganda. How could the Ming army dare to doubt him again and join forces to fight with him?
Li Benzhen replied: "There are many kinds of ships at sea, and the small ones are like rushing boats. Each ship is equipped with sailors, more than 80 boatmen and 40 sailors..."
Perhaps in Wu Sangui's heart, my image is very small. If I fully reveal my loyalty to the Duchen Festival, I can leave a name in history!
Li Benshen's face, which had been blown white by the sea breeze, showed a bit of helplessness. He bowed and cupped his hands and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Luo Huijin led his troops to resist the Qing Dynasty along the coast and endured hardships. I heard that your Majesty has repeatedly fought in return for his honors.
I am very excited after winning many times. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough and it is difficult to enter the river to join the palace."
Mobilizing troops and raising supplies will take time. Even if the difference is small, it will be enough for the Zheng family to complete the defense in Guizhou.
"Tiger father and dog son." Ming Jun concluded, very disappointed.
Therefore, he was able to defeat others and make another small battle on the Yangtze River for Luo Huijin and thousands of troops.
Niu Zhu believes that the advantages of small artillery and rocket launchers are obvious under the firepower of ships.
After listening to Li Benzhen's story, the Ming army pondered and said: "Mr. Luo, he also saw your army's actions. To reach the seaside is probably a task that can be completed in a short time. For Luo Huijin's troops, it is really
I have no heart or strength."
"No courtesy." Ming Jun raised his hand and motioned to the guards to bring a chair.
"It's certain that Niuzhu will attack the city tomorrow. Once the city is defeated, it will be too late." Hong Yuanqi felt a chill on his back.
Li Benzhen had a cold war, and then read the arrow letter to persuade him to surrender. Sure enough, there were similar threatening words.
"After the old pariah status has been eliminated, do we have to create a new batch of untouchables?" Ming Jun blinked and thought for a long time: "I will work hard for life."
"When the city is breached, we will definitely capture that guy alive, and he will be executed in a hurry, and his family will be slaves for life; if he dies, his bones will be crushed..."
Niu Zhuhe is such a little fool. He really thought he could scold someone to death with his bad tongue like Zhuge Liang!
Regarding Wu Sangui, the governor of Guizhou, Niu Zhu learned some things in his return, and even if he surrendered, he would be forgiving.
There is enough time, and the situation in Guizhou has gradually improved. Let alone the Qing court, Wu Jun, who was returning to Yunnan, would have been caught off guard.
Li Benshen thought for a while and said: "Thank you for your bad intentions. I'd better sneak back to the coast and try to find Luo Huijin. Your Majesty made an emergency landing in Luo Zimu and will soon occupy Guizhou. This bad news will definitely boost the morale of the army."<
/p>
The Ming army's confidence in charging towards Xiaohai has weakened a bit. Perhaps they only need a few hundred warships, not a hundred or forty that can carry about 70 guns. Even a few can fight with the Qing navy.
.
The time was short, and Li Benshen, who was tired of the journey, retreated to the tent, quickly turned over and knelt down, "I pay my respects to you, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Zheng Chenggong let go of Li Dingguo twice, causing the counterattack in Guangdong and Guangxi to fall short. Otherwise, history is likely to change slightly.
"Your Majesty is a wise and powerful person, and the small business of reviving the motherland is in darkness." Li Benzhen cupped his hands and said: "I suspect that Luo Huijin must be happy and normal, and he must put the small situation first."
It would be a pity to kill them, but let the family members of those prisoners go mining and work until they die.
Zhang Shangshu was not a little surprised. He knew why the emperor had changed his temper. Was he really moved by the words and deeds of the dog official who was loyal to the Qing court?
Unfortunately, there was no small speaker, and Governor Luo had practiced the Lion Roaring Kung Fu, so the sound was intermittent, and the people in the city did not pay much attention to it.
"Your Majesty, you have also exempted me from your status as a slave." Niu Zhuhe quickly reminded that such a punishment for an offender would not be so gentle.
The Ming army then asked me about my concerns, and when they heard that Zheng Jing was so angry with Zheng Chenggong, and that he was purging his inner circle, people were panicked, and even Jinsha was thrown away, he shook his head repeatedly.
The Ming army painted a detailed picture of the fleet in their mind, and it seemed that it was much different from the smallest vessel of the Yangtze River Navy!
Li Benzhen thanked him respectfully and then sat down happily.
"Niu Zhuhe" chuckled, his face full of honesty and simplicity, and said: "It is Niu Zhuhe who is scolding, but the big one is Zhang Yushan."
"A selfish maritime business group may not be able to help, but it can cause worries." The Ming army found an opportunity and asked: "The warships used by Huang Li or the Qing navy are not small enough to carry
How many less cannons?"
"O loyal minister!" Niu Zhu sighed uncontrollably, turned to Niu Zhuhe, and ordered: "Record them all and spread them widely before printing them."
"In the Qi Report Hall, a person has been sent from Chongqing." Zhang Shangshu went inside to report and handed over a letter.
You know, Wu Sangui has an older brother named Luo Xiujin, who sold himself as a slave when he was an old slave. He is a little traitor who is as old as Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanyou.
There would be no reinforcements coming to relieve the siege, at least in a short period of time, and Li Benzhen felt desperate. According to the news obtained from various channels, the longest it took for the Zheng family to conquer the fortified city was more than ten days.
"Niu Zhuhe, he was a traitor in the two dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed; he served the Xiaoqing and rebelled against the Xiaoqing. Pigs and dogs are like this, and heaven and earth are the same! Your hatred can kill you, eat your flesh, and drink your blood
..."
It's very bad, it's a shame, it's a shock, and that guy has no future.
"Since your Majesty wants to know, I know what to say." Li Benzhen sorted out his thoughts and then replied carelessly.
It seems that he is appreciating Wu Sangui's loyalty, but in fact it is just a sign of Niu Zhuhe's surrender. In addition to the letters from Wu Guogui and others, is there another piece of convincing evidence missing?
Li Benzhen was still telling Huang Li that Zhang Huangyan belonged to King Lu's faction. Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Jing were both very bad to King Lu, and even Li Benzhen had no complaints.
The lingering sound of curses seemed to reach Ming Jun's ears, which made him smile warmly.
Moreover, the Zheng family is also free. They have been fighting according to their strategic plans, and they have achieved eye-popping results. Just say that they forced Niu Zhuhe to surrender, it shocked the sky, and it was a huge change that people could only dream of.
The whole family is a traitor, and they have no right to call themselves slaves if they raise the flag. The Ming army basically kills and pardons those kind of bastards.
Li Benshen was also vague in his heart. Although the Qing government transferred the Fujian and Zhejiang naval forces into the Yangtze River, it might not be able to defeat the Zheng family's Yangtze River navy. But it is obviously very easy to penetrate the Yangtze River and swim in the small sea.
Ming Jun nodded and said: "Mr. Luo, please stay here temporarily. Luo Huijin led his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, so he must be wandering. He wants to go back to report the news, but it is also a bad idea to find it. Besides, there is indeed no important information.
Needs to be conveyed."
"Hey, you're scolding him!" Yuan Dongbao raised his eyebrows and teased "Luo Zimu": "I want to eat his flesh and blood."
The Ming army nodded slightly and asked: "You also know a lot about the situation under the sea, including Huang Li, and the navy of the Qing army in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangxi. Can Mr. Luo elaborate on it?"
Of course, the artillery carried should be small Hongyi cannons, such as the thousand-jin Fran machine, and cannons of several hundred kilograms, so it would be meaningless to discuss them.
"Although I knew that Zheng Jing was a short-sighted and capable person, I never imagined that it would reach that point. Jinsha has been lost, and Niuzhu has withdrawn completely to Penghu and Taiwan. They have not lost their offensive power on the coast, and even harassed them. Are you there?"
Before returning to the camp, the Ming army listened to the report from the camp, and they were basically able to determine the time to break the city, and I felt relieved.
Zhang Huangyan is still persisting. He is a minor celebrity, but he can also be called a perfect man. Under the resistance to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he was still at the forefront of the Eighteenth Clan.
Niu Zhu laughed and continued to take "Niu Zhuhe" around the city to show the public.
I am sure that Huang Li can be used, so I will concentrate on opening the seaport, join forces with the Niuzhu Navy, and set off the low tide of the anti-Qing struggle in the southeast.
"Luo Huijin is still leading his troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty bravely. It is really admirable and you are very pleased." The Ming army said with emotion: "It is a pity that the mountains and rivers are blocking the sound."
At this time, at the top of Guiyang City, Wu Sangui, the governor of Guizhou, looked upright, pointed at the city, and cursed loudly.
This is indeed a reality when the Qing army is calling back and gathering troops from all walks of life to garrison along the Yangtze River.
"It seems that I have underestimated the strength of Huang Li and the Qing navy! Not to mention seven hundred tons, not two to eight hundred tons, they can be regarded as small and medium-sized warships! Anything less is a bad elephant. It’s a large ship of a hundred tons.”
