Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Look at you little bastards, you have traveled three thousand and hundreds of miles, and you haven't finished walking for almost two fucking months!

This is not a march, but a stroll on horseback. Luggage, dry food, and coated servants will help you carry it. There are post stations wherever you go. The food and drink are served in the place. It is more comfortable than a fucking official going out of Beijing to take office. How dare you complain!You are going to throw the faces of the Baqi disciples clean! "

Near the junction of Guangdong and Hunan provinces, outside a ferry called Luojiadu, the person who scolded and reprimanded five hundred Eight Banners soldiers who were dismounting from their horses was the Nanjing bandits of the Qing Dynasty. General Tuhai.

After he got Emperor Kangxi's order, he did not hesitate at all. After explaining the errand in hand, he immediately ordered five hundred and eight banner soldiers, plus five hundred banner slaves accompanying the army, and then joined the two hundred bannermen led by Deng Zhong. The "Huo Lei" Han army and dozens of Shi Lang's soldiers, totaling more than 1000 people, set off from Beijing immediately, not daring to delay along the way, and finally caught up with the 11th day of September in the [-]th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty , into the territory of Guangdong.

Because after leaving Chenzhou, Hunan, the marching team was urged by Tu Hai to be in a hurry, and they even ran out of the "fast speed" of eighty miles a day, so when Tu Hai led the team across the Hunan-Guangdong border, they arrived in Lechang County, Shaozhou, Guangdong. At Luojiadu, the officials from Guangdong who came to greet him had not yet arrived.

In fact, this is the effect that Tu Hai wants to pursue. He has to give the officials in Guangdong a warning first, and let them know that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers are as swift as the wind when they move!

In addition, if you come a day and a half earlier, you can also rectify the "paper tiger" Eight Banners soldiers under you, so as not to show your stuff in front of a group of Guangdong officials.

So Tuhai is currently "rectifying" his paper tigers!

But to say that these Eight Banners soldiers are paper tigers is actually a bit unfair.Whether this is a paper tiger or not depends on who you compare it with?Compared with the generation of Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers who swept the world more than 20 years ago, this group of Eight Banners Young Master Soldiers are indeed paper tigers.

But compared with the Eight Banners soldiers who were beaten all over the place by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during the Daoguang and Xianfeng years, these Eight Banners soldiers in the Kangxi year are actually not bad.

They all rode their own horses along the way... Not only did they not need to take a sedan chair, but all 500 of them were fine along the way, and none of them fell off their horses.

This horsemanship is still very good!

In addition, these Eight Banners soldiers can also carry their own armor and weapons.They just asked the banner slaves to help carry luggage, carry dry food, and take care of the horses.

Also, on the way to Guangdong, Tuhai continued to assess the riding and foot shooting of the people below... and he used the standard clear bow with full bow strength to shoot arrows.

The results of the assessment were also satisfactory, but none of the arrows missed the target, and it was basically possible to achieve seven or eight out of ten.

The archery skills of this group of people are not bad!

Their formations are also pretty good... Whether it's marching or charging formation, they all have a decent shape.

Of course, these five hundred and eight banner soldiers are all carefully selected elites, all of them are physically strong, strong and mighty, and they are not those big smokers later.

As far as this group of guys is concerned, it must be nonsense to say that they are invincible heavenly soldiers, but it is still in line with reality to say that they are qualified feudal soldiers.

It is precisely because they still have two brushes that they can stun the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, the invincible tiger skin.

If it was changed to the gang of grandpas in the Daoguang and Xianfeng years, they would not be able to pretend to be heavenly soldiers... No matter how cowardly Wu Sangui is, he would not be overwhelmed by a group of big smokers with cages and birds!

Oh, and, today's "second generation of banners" and "third generation of banners" are also more honest than those under the flag during the Daoguang and Xianfeng years.After all, they were all brought up by the gang of ruthless people who entered the customs and conquered the world. Those ruthless people have killed a lot, and all of them have serious violent tendencies, and they beat children hard.

And Tuhai specially selected honest children among the five hundred honest children, in order to be a good discipliner.

So this group of honest children were reprimanded by Tu Hai, and all of them hung their heads in shame, and none of them dared to speak back.

Seeing that the "Second Generation of Banner" and "Third Generation of Banner" were quite honest, Tu Hai seemed to calm down a little, and said loudly: "Okay, it's almost time, hurry up, eat and drink, and let go Let me take care of everything that needs to be fucked up. Then get dressed neatly and lead the horses to line up here!"

Hearing what he said, the group of "Second Generation Banners" and "Third Generation Banners" breathed a sigh of relief as if they had received an amnesty, and then shouted loudly: "Hey!"

This response of "嗻", really roared with such an aura of shaking the earth!

Tuhai nodded in satisfaction, and said in his heart: "It's kind of like that! The Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers also had the same taste!"

……

When the group of "highly imitated Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers" under Tu Hai's hands were being trained by his grandsons, Wang Shangzhidian of Pingnan, General Sun Yanling of Dingnan, Princess Kong Sizhen of Dingnan, Governor Jin Guangzu of Guangdong, Governor Liu Bingquan of Guangdong, Xue Zhang of Guangdong Tixue , Yan Ziming, the admiral of Guangdong, Zu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Gao Lei, Deng Guangming, the deputy governor of Xushun Gongfu, and others have already rushed to Luo's family.

The chief academician Tu Hai personally took command and dispatched troops!

And there are five hundred and eight banner heavenly soldiers!

How dare the leaders on the ground in Guangdong dare to neglect?Except for those few who were too busy with military affairs to leave, everyone else rushed to Lechang County on the Hunan-Guangdong border early in the morning to wait for your arrival.

But how could they have imagined that the Eight Banners Celestial Soldiers led by the great scholar Tuhaitu were "as fast as the wind".While they were still waiting slowly in the county town, Luojiadu's Xun Shouzong flew to Lechang County, and reported to a group of Manchu officials in the city that General Ningnan Jingkou and the Manchurian Heavenly Soldiers had arrived. The news of arriving at the Luojiadu ferry on the Wu River.

This is a terrible situation, these high officials in Lechang City, including Sun Yanling's family tigress Gege, all got on their horses and galloped to Luojiadu with only a few guards and entourage.

Before the group reached the ferry, they heard the sound of sobbing bugles. When they looked up, they found hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners lined up in an open space on the north bank of Luojiadu!

It is very majestic and majestic with unfurled flags and flags, bright armor, strict formation, dazzling swords and guns.Just looking at it from a distance, the only words in the minds of this group of Han army bannermen or Han bureaucrats are "heavenly soldiers are invincible".

This is not just the thinking of these people. Now the Qing army on the ground in Guangdong, regardless of whether it is the Han army, the green battalion or the Minzhuang, as long as they see these five hundred "paper tiger heavenly soldiers", they all have the same idea for safekeeping.

And when they went to the battlefield, as long as the Heavenly Soldiers were behind them, their power to cut people would be doubled, and their fear of death could be reduced by [-] to [-]%.

Hehe, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners are still so amazing!

Moreover, Tu Hai has more than these five hundred "Paper Tiger Heavenly Soldiers", he also has another secret weapon - the Sugar Fire Thunder!

Looking back at the hundreds of Manchurian Heavenly Soldiers who had already cheered up, even the expressions on their faces were ferocious, and they were short of writing the word "ruthless" on their faces, Tu Hai finally showed a satisfied expression, and then Turning around again, he shouted: "Deng Zhong!"

"The humble job is here!" Deng Zhong held a black iron ball in his hand and stood far away from Tu Hai, but he still heard Tu Hai's call, but he didn't step forward, but answered from a distance .

"Get ready for fire mines!"

"Whoo!"

Chapter 198 Alright, now the Qing Dynasty has won!

What Deng Zhong held in his hand was the "sugar fire thunder". The shell of the fire thunder was cast iron, and it was filled with two taels of gunpowder, one tael of sugar, and one or two broken iron nails.

Among them, the sugar and gunpowder were all ground into powder, and they were fully mixed together, and a large number of rusty iron nails were mixed... The reason for doing this was Shi Lang, Deng Zhong, and the best sugar workers in Zhangzhou. There is also a pastry chef who spent nearly a month and tried it out!

At the beginning, they mixed granulated sugar and gunpowder directly and ignited it, but it didn't have much power.Later, I thought about using granulated gunpowder to do it, and hydrated the gunpowder and sugar together.But it's not very good. If there is less water, the saccharification will not boil, and if there is too much water, it will become soup.

As for putting the sugar on the fire and adding gunpowder... the dim sum master who was forced to do this has become a loyal Qing Dynasty, so he didn't insist on doing it anymore.

In the end, there is a manufacturing method of mixing powder, adding iron nails, and then putting iron balls... The power of the fire and thunder produced in this way is not bad.After all, the main ingredient of gunpowder is fire nitrate!Moreover, iron nails and iron shells have their own rust, and rust is a catalyst.

However, this powdered sugar powder is easy to detonate, coupled with powdered gunpowder and a large amount of catalyst... There are two problems.

One is that it is too easy to explode, a single spark can explode!

Second, it is too easy to get wet.Both white sugar and fire salt are very susceptible to moisture. If they are boiled into "military sugar cubes" in large pieces, there will be less water-absorbing surfaces and it is easy to prevent moisture.But if they are ground into powder, it is too easy to absorb water.If it turns into a puddle of water accidentally, it will not explode.

On the way from Beijing to the south, Deng Zhong encountered two explosions of unknown cause, both of which occurred in Zhili. horse.

So when the team crossed the Yellow River, the "fire and thunder soldiers" under Deng Zhong's command no longer dared to take the risk of continuing to march with those fire mines that might explode at any time, so they secretly used the water from the Yellow River to make firearms in Beijing. Dozens of fire mines were all soaked, making them completely ineffective.

When this matter got to Tuhai's ears, General Ningnan Jingkou was so angry that he even had Deng Zhong tied up and pretended to be beheaded.

Later, Shi Lang, who went south with the army, said a lot of worthless good things, and then spared Deng Zhong's life.But Deng Zhong was still asked to buy sugar and gunpowder in Wuchang with his own money, and asked a blacksmith to cast dozens of hollow iron balls.

But Deng Zhong also learned to be good, and he no longer dared to stuff sugar, gunpowder, and iron nails into the iron shell, but packed them separately for transportation.No more accidents happened this time, but after entering the humid south, Deng Zhong encountered new troubles—white sugar is too easy to get wet, and it is difficult to dry after getting wet, and it is easy to agglomerate.

In the end, Deng Zhong had no choice but to take the clumped white sugar to the cook to get rid of, and then buy it at his own expense, and store it carefully after buying it.

This road is almost too difficult to die. Deng Zhong and Deng Dashen led it!

Now that he has finally arrived in Guangdong, Deng Dacan, who has learned how to preserve white sugar, grinds powdered sugar with his own trembling hands in the barracks at Luojiadu to defend the flood, and assembles a fire mine.

At this moment, I was reciting a "fire-avoiding curse" that I asked the Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple in Beijing, and holding a fire thunder that I assembled myself, I appeared in front of Shang Zhidian, Kong Sizhen, Sun Yanling, Jin Guangzu and others who rushed over. in front of.

Tu Hai didn't let Deng Zhong's men idle, but asked them to build two earth barriers parallel to the Wuhe River on the north bank of Luojiadu.

After Shang Zhidian, Kong Sizhen, Sun Yanling, Jin Guangzu and others crossed the Wuhe River and saw the majestic power of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners who "immovable as a mountain", they were led by Tu Hai to the back of the two earth barriers and squatted down together listen.

Seeing that everyone was squatting down, Tuhai yelled: "Deng Zhong, light the fire!"

"Whoo!"

Deng Zhong responded first, and then lit the fire rope with the torch in his hand.After clicking, of course, he turned his head and ran, and ran behind a barrier of earth.As soon as he squatted down, he saw a woman with pretty and attractive features, fair and tender skin, rosy lips, and an indescribable charm between her eyebrows and eyes.The woman was also squatting there, and when she saw Deng Zhongbun approaching, she smiled at him.

When Deng Zhong was wondering who this woman was, a gloomy voice suddenly rang out, "What are you looking at? You dog slave, why don't you kowtow when you see the princess?"

Ah, she is Kong Sizhen, Princess Heshuo Dingnan!

Just as Deng Zhong was about to kneel and kowtow, a loud noise came from the direction of the river beach!

This is the sugar fire thunder exploded!

Now Kong Sizhen was not in the mood to wait for Deng Zhong to kowtow, and stood up in front of Deng Zhong suddenly.Only then did Deng Zhong realize that this woman's figure looked better than her face. Although it was covered by clothes, it could still be seen that the figure was protruding forward and backward...

"This general Ruanfan's beauty is not shallow!" Thinking of this, Deng Zhong raised his eyes and looked at the hat on the head of a tall man standing beside Kong Sizhen...it was still red, with a ruby ​​top!Needless to say, this man must be "General Ruanfan" Sun Yanling.

"Okay! With the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers on the line, and Huo Lei that is as powerful as Zhuge Shenlei, we have won this time."

Feeling very stable, of course the "General Soft Rice" Sun Yanling!Emperor Kangxi had already promised in his court mail that as long as he conquered Guangzhou, he would be crowned King Dingnan!

Instead of inheriting the father-in-law, Kong Youde, King Dingnan, but "making" King Dingnan!

In this way, he will be able to get rid of the title of "General Ruanfan" in the future, and justifiably ride on Kong Sizhen to do his best.

At the thought of stepping on the tigress, Sun Yanling felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

In fact, this tigress has nothing to do to him, she is beautiful, her family has money, status and connections, and there is a big school district house in the second ring road of Beijing where you can run horses, and her parents are both dead, and she has no brothers and sisters to fight for the family property ...

Although before marrying Sun Yanling, she didn't know who broke her body, and she was no longer a virgin, but after marrying Sun Yanling, Kong Sizhen was still a woman.

If there was anything wrong with her, it would be that she had a bit of a temper.But she wouldn't beat Sun Yanling with her hands, at most she would just scold him a few words.

However, this tigress still turned to Sun Yanling at the critical moment, helping him move to the official position of a Guangxi general.This position is equivalent to the garrison general of Manchuria, the top leader in Guangxi, and he is also an "indefinite general".Other Manchurian generals had to leave after working for a few years, but his Guangxi general could continue working forever. What a beautiful thing!

But Sun Yanling is not satisfied...

The dissatisfied Sun Yanling had already moved to Tuhai's side at this time, with a flattering smile on his face, "General Tu, now that the imperial court is under fire and thunder, there is no need to be afraid of the traitors in Guangdong. It is better to enter the army as soon as possible to regain Guangzhou, and we will also be able to fight back." So that the emperor can feel at ease earlier!"

Tu Hai said in his heart: "You want to capture Guangzhou as soon as possible so that you can become King Dingnan sooner?"

"General Dingnan," Tuhai said with a smile, "the emperor has never felt uneasy about those clowns in Guangzhou City... His request to us is not to take Guangzhou earlier, but to take it steadily and firmly." Go to Guangzhou and kill the rebels!"

"Your majesty is really wise," Sun Yanling could only change his words with a flushed face, "Stay calm, making the rebels invulnerable is the best policy!"

Tu Hai nodded, and said again: "In addition to sending my own official to lead the five hundred and eight banner heavenly soldiers and hundreds of Huo Lei soldiers to the south, he also dispatched [-] green battalion elites from the northern provinces of Guangdong, led by Admiral Sun from Gansu, We can arrive at the end of October at the latest. By then, the weather in Guangdong will be cool, and Deng Shenling has prepared enough fire mines, and Admiral Shi has also rectified the Xijiang Navy. Can't beat Guangzhou Fucheng?

In addition, what the emperor values ​​most is not the city of Guangzhou, but the people of Guangdong!The emperor said that the chaos in Guangdong this time was caused by the false third prince Zhu and his party's undead intentions, but the internal cause was that Oboi and King Nanjing's coastal relocation caused too much damage to the people, and it was unnecessary.This is to kill one enemy and damage one hundred!

What the emperor meant was not only to regain Guangzhou, but also to regain the hearts of the people in Guangdong!Therefore, the emperor will soon issue a decree to cancel the coastal relocation of Guangdong and Fujian provinces.At the same time, in order to appease the hearts of the people in Guangdong, the emperor also asked us to do a good job in the Guangdong provincial examination this time.

After the rural examination is completed, the powerful clans in Guangdong will naturally support the imperial court in suppressing bandits.With their support, can Zhu San rebel against the party have a chance to survive?Hahaha……"

Chapter 199 Zhou Peigong, hurry to Guangzhou for the exam!

As soon as Tu Hai mentioned the Guangdong Provincial Examination, Xue Zhang, a Xuezheng student in Guangdong who had shrunk to the side and couldn't talk to him, immediately became energetic and tried his best to join him, waiting for Tu Hai to ask questions with a smile on his face.

Seeing his hospitality, Tu Hai smiled and asked: "Xue Tixue, how are you preparing for the provincial examination in Guangdong? When will the examination start? I heard that Cantonese people don't like studying very much in Beijing... Is this the case?"

Xue Zhang quickly replied with a smile: "General, you are right. Cantonese are indeed not as good at studying as Jiangnan, my hometown. But not liking reading doesn't mean you don't like winning the exam! The quota has doubled compared to previous years, this is the great grace of the emperor! Therefore, scholars from Guangdong will definitely come to take our provincial examination, and no one will go to Guangzhou to take the general examination for rebels."

"What? The traitor's meeting?" Tu Hai was amused by Xue Zhang's words, "It's already this time, and the third prince Zhu still has the mind to toss about this?"

"Isn't it?" Xue Zhang said with a smile, "It's only a territory of a dozen counties, and it's not enough to pass the provincial examination. It's arrogant to have to take the general examination! Such rebels will have no future. "

While talking, Xue Zhang also took out a copy of the "Imperial Examination Notice" issued by the Guangzhou Xingshizi Mansion from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Tu Hai with a smile, "General, look at this, they also sent secret agents to Guangdong, This kind of notice is posted all over Fujian, and I heard that some places in Hunan and Jiangxi are also posting it."

"What's more?" Tuhai took the notice that Xue Zhang handed him, and squinted his eyes for a while, "You can take the exam without cutting your braids...why did you want to go with the emperor? This false prince Zhu Hechi seems to have some insight!"

Xue Zhang said with a smile: "It's useless to be knowledgeable. Now scholars all over the world have long been interested in the Qing Dynasty, and no one will go to Guangzhou to catch up for the exam."

"Really?" Tuhai stroked his beard, then looked back at the people around him, "What do you think?"

"General, the grassroots have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

As soon as Tu Hai finished speaking, he saw a man in his early forties, with a fair face and three beards, wearing a green cloth gown and a small melon cap, walking out from behind Kong Sizhen, and then gave Tu Hai Hai knelt down.

"Who is this person?" Tu Hai was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Why did such a grassroots appear? How did he come to this general? And... there is no hidden thunder in this grassroots body, right?"

When he was doubting, Kong Sizhen had already spoken, "Lord Tu, he is Fu Honglie. He used to be the magistrate of Qingyang, Gansu Province, and also served as a magistrate in Shaozhou Prefecture. He was dismissed and sent to Wuzhou because of his conviction. The slave family thinks he is a talent." , so let him be a master."

"Oh..." Tu Hai nodded, and said in his heart: "It turns out that it's the idiot Fu who became an official and lost his fortune and was sent to the army!"

"Fu Fool" is Fu Honglie's nickname. The reason why he has such a nickname is of course because he is a bit stupid.

When someone else became an official, it was "Three-year-clear magistrate, [-] snowflakes in silver". He, a fool, was a magistrate, but instead of getting [-] snowflakes in silver, he saw that the people in Qingyang, Gansu Province were too poor to pay taxes. He actually used his own family's money to subsidize it... As a result, he was bankrupt when he became an official!

Of course, no one would say that he was stupid if he wanted to get a bigger official and work harder to get him back.

But just when Emperor Kangxi was about to reward him with a fat vacancy to make up for the money, this fool went up to impeach Wu Sangui for his conspiracy... Where did Wu Sangui provoke him?Even if Wu Sangui really planned something wrong, it is not something an official of his level can intervene.

As a result, Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to dismiss him and question him. As a result, he was accused of a severe crime of beheading. Fortunately, he was granted an amnesty, so he was sent to Guangxi to serve as an army.

Look, this official was bankrupt, and he was also filled with troops!

This is not a fool, who is a fool?

"Fu silly... Fu Honglie, right?" Tu Hai glanced at Kong Sizhen, instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, "Say what you have to say."

"Master Xie Tu," Fu Honglie kowtowed to Tu Hai again, "Cao Min thinks that knowing oneself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles! I don't know what's going on in Guangzhou now. So the fake imperial examination for rebels is a way for the court to detect thieves." It is a good opportunity to learn secrets...Caomin is willing to take the risk of pretending to be a candidate from Jiangxi, and go deep into Guangzhou to find out.

In addition, Caomin also wanted to take this opportunity to copy the list of candidates who passed the fake Jinshi examination.In this way, after the thieves are suppressed and the bandits are wiped out, the imperial court can arrest people according to the list, so as not to let a traitor slip through the net! "

"Isn't this too loyal?" Tuhai looked at Fu Honglie and murmured in his heart, "You idiot has become a high-ranking official to this point, how can you be so loyal? You don't want to take the opportunity to seek refuge in a hypocritical Is it a part-time job?"
