Chapter 232 Attacking Zhejiang (1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "He Qing read: In the past, Yue Wu Mu said that civil servants did not love money, military ministers did not hesitate to die, and the world was at peace. When the Ming Dynasty was revived, officials who were close to the people should adhere to ethics; loyal and brave generals would sacrifice their lives and forget about death. Today

Yan Pinglu has entered Fujian and is invincible. He has revived his career and is waiting for a new glory. Tens of thousands of tigers are stationed in Zhoushan, with arrows on the strings, and they must be fired. I just wait and see your dragon soaring into the sea. There is no end to the sky and water. Zhu Hengjia

Handwriting. June 18, the 24th year of Chongzhen.

He Tengjiao, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, put down the immortal letter (a letter written by the emperor) written by Zhu Hengjia to himself, and immediately understood that His Royal Highness Jian Guo could not wait any longer and wanted to attack Zhejiang from Zhoushan as soon as possible to coordinate with the Ming army in Fujian.

Since the last battle in Changsha, when the 180,000-strong army was defeated by Kong Youde's 90,000 Qing army, He Tengjiao has understood that he is not a general and is not good at commanding and fighting.

Professional affairs were left to professionals, and he ordered Zhejiang Admiral Yang Huai, the Zhongyong Marquis, to take full command of the war in Zhejiang.

Yang Huai was an old man from Prince Jing's Mansion. He had served as Zhu Hengjia's personal guard. He had always resolutely implemented the orders of Prince Jing, who was in charge of the country, and immediately formulated a strategy to capture Ningbo Mansion.

He ordered Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, to pacify the Xibo Dynasty, and led the generals Zheng Lin, Li Yingjie, and Fu Wenhuan to lead 15,000 troops to land at Longshan and attack Cixi County;

Generals Wang Xing, Yu Long, Ruan Jie, and Wei Bin led 20,000 troops, landed at Qiancang, and attacked Xiangshan County and Chang Guowei. Together with Hu Bo and Ruan Jin, they led Du Zixiang, Li Rubi, Huang Dazhen, and Gu Zhong.

Generals Luo Yunzhang and Bao Guoxiang led 30,000 troops, landed at Dinghai, and attacked Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture.

??

"General, are you here?"

"Well, tell the brothers to be alert and patrol the beach every hour."

At the Longshan Station of Guanhaiwei in Ningbo Prefecture, General Wang Sheng of the Qing Dynasty was inspecting the fort. This fort was newly built and equipped with eighteen three-thousand-jin general cannons and eighteen thousand-jin Fran machine guns. The muzzles of the guns were facing the beach.<

/p>

Wang Sheng was originally a subordinate of Feng Jingdi, the minister of the Lu Supervisor State. Later, he betrayed Feng Jingdi and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He also brutally dismembered Feng Jingdi. His reputation spread all over the street, so there was no way out.

He knew that others could descend on him, but if he wanted to descend on him, he would definitely die, so he tightened the defense of Longshan Station very tightly. He placed a lot of resisting horses and iron caltrops on the beach, and even buried a lot of unknown origins.

Where did you get the bomb?

The troops of Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Chaoxian landed at Longshan Station in the dark of night. These two men were both former members of Lu Jianguo and had always had a bad relationship. Yang Huai put these two men together with the intention of keeping them in check.

"Use, defend, and slowly integrate" the old Lu army was a clever plan given to Yang Huai by He Tengjiao, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. He understood it and put it into practice.

"Marquis Dingxi, I heard that the general guarding Longshan is Wang Sheng, the thief. The last general is willing to be the vanguard and take his head as a sacrifice to Feng Shilang." Wang Chaoxian had a very good relationship with Feng Jingdi, Wang Yi and others, and wanted to do something for him.

Feng Jingdi takes revenge.

Zhang Mingzhen has always been resentful of the fact that the dynasty made a quarrel in advance and forced Lu Jianguo to abdicate. He was unwilling to let him perform meritorious service. "Ping Xibo, you are the deputy commander. You should not go into danger easily. You should let other generals take the lead."<

/p>

"The last general is willing to take Wang Jin's dog's head as a sacrifice to Feng Shilang!"

Zheng Lin, Li Yingjie, and Fu Wenhuan requested in unison that these three people were also former members of the Lu Supervisory State and hated the king to the core.

"Stop fighting, the three of you will go together," Zhang Mingzhen yelled.

The three generals led five thousand soldiers and horses towards the fort. At first, they were lucky and did not encounter the Qing troops patrolling the sentries.

"Boom!"

A soldier accidentally stepped on a bomb buried by the Qing army on the beach, covered his feet and screamed in pain.

The explosion woke up the Qing troops in the fort, and Wang Sheng immediately ordered bonfires and lanterns to be lit, and cannons and cannons to be fired on the beach.

"Brothers, avenge Shilang Feng! Kill with me!"

Zheng Lin drew his sword and charged towards the fort, followed closely by Li Yingjie and Fu Wenhuan.

There were three thousand of Wang Sheng's men in the fort, and they resisted stubbornly under Wang Sheng's bullet pressure.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Guns and artillery were like thunder, and the Qing army's forts were built extremely solidly. From night to early morning, the Ming army was unable to attack.

Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Chaoxian's army arrived. They asked about the whole story and decided to attack the heart first.

"Brothers in the fort, listen up. We are here to avenge Shilang Feng. We will only kill Wang Sheng. The one who surrenders will avoid death!"

Many of the defenders in the fort were Feng Jing's old troops. They were angry at Wang Sheng's murder of Feng Jing and dared not speak out. They were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Wang Sheng.

When Wang Sheng saw the demeanor of his subordinates, he couldn't help but look ashen.

"Kill", Chao Chao first jumped up to the fort with two swords in hand. Zheng Lin, Li Yingjie, and Fu Wenhuan followed closely and quickly took control of the fort and captured Wang Sheng.

"Dingxihou, Pingxibo, I was forced." Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and begged desperately.

"Dog thief", Chao Chao first swung his knife and wanted to chop him, but Zhang Mingzhen stopped him and said, "If I chop him with one knife, wouldn't it be an advantage to him? Let's wait until we get to Cixi."

The Ming army also captured Guanhaiwei and Cixi County.

??

In a small courtyard on Dongjie, Cixi County, 70-year-old Liu Dahai is lying leisurely on the imperial chair, sipping fragrant tea. People who pass seventy are rare in ancient times, and it’s time to enjoy life!

This tea was given by Zhao San, a young apprentice who worked as an executioner in the county government. The young apprentice was a good person and knew how to respect his master. He also had a good job, high income and leisure. He only worked for three months in the autumn a year. Unfortunately, he was too busy.

Stupid, I haven't learned many of my unique skills. I can only cut off heads with one knife, and I can't even remember the skills of stripping flesh, cutting lotus roots and silk, etc. No matter how much I teach you, I can't remember them.

"Bang", the courtyard door was opened, and several soldiers walked in.

"Are you 'Liu Yidao'?"

Liu Dahai trembled: "It's just the little old man's humble name."

The leader of the Ming army sentry Chang was very happy: "Come with us, the commander-in-chief invites you!"

Zhang Mingzhen met with Liu Dahai, and without any hesitation, he directly took out ingots of silver, which amounted to twelve taels, and said, "If you kill a man for us, cut off his feet with 3357 knives, the silver will be yours; if you cut off one knive less, I will take it from you."

life".

When Liu Dahai heard the words of punishment, he took a breath and said, "My dear, how much hatred is this!" He shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, the rules of our business are to kill a maximum of ninety-nine people in our lifetime, otherwise we will be punished by heaven. Xiao

We already have enough, I don’t dare to kill anymore!”

"Damn it, are you going to do it or not?"

Wang Chao first drew the knife and put it on Liu Dahai's neck.

As soon as Liu Dahai saw him, he was convinced that if he didn’t kill someone, he would be killed!

"I'm willing to do it, but I don't know who this person is?"

"That's Wang Sheng, the traitor who murdered Feng Gongjing!"

When he heard that Wang Sheng was going to be killed, Liu Dahai was overjoyed, "Traitors are not considered human beings and are not among the ninety-nine people. This young man is willing to do this."

Ling Chi is a skillful job. Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the maximum number of cuts in Ling Chi was 3357, but in fact, there were only three people in the Ming Dynasty who could actually cut this number, Liu Jin, Zheng Yan and Yuan Chonghuan.

Feng Jingdi's reputation for loyalty is known throughout Zhejiang. Although Liu Dahai is the executioner, he also deeply hates Wang Sheng.

He asked his apprentice Zhao San to tie Wang Sheng to a pillar. Originally, if the prisoner's family members took care of him, they could pour some hemp powder into it, but Liu Dahai only stuffed a hemp walnut in Wang Sheng's mouth to prevent him from swearing and disturbing him.

Work on your own.

For the first blow, Liu Dahai slapped Wang Sheng's heart with his left hand. He held the knife with his right hand and made a dexterous turn. "First blow, thank you," his apprentice Zhao San shouted.

"The second knife, thank you!"

"The third sword, thank the ghosts and gods!"

From then on, Zhao San would yell at Liu Dahai every time he made ten cuts.

During this period, Wang Sheng was also fed several bowls of gruel to maintain his life.

He was so tired that he was sweating all over his body and his limbs were weak. He glared at the apprentice fiercely, "You kid, I told you to study hard, but you didn't study. This made me, master, still have to suffer this at my age!"
