There is nothing in the world that makes you happier than getting promoted and making a fortune!
Tong Yangjia is very happy. He is thirty-nine years old this year. He is from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army. He has just been appointed by the regent as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for his meritorious service in conquering Fujian and Guangdong.
The relationship between the Tong family and the Aixinjueluo family is extraordinary.
The Tong family was originally a Jurchen, named Tong Jia. When the Ming Dynasty became powerful, the surname was changed to the Han surname Tong. Nurhaci, the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty, served as the son-in-law of the Tong family. Tong Jia was Nurhaci's Yuan concubine. Their eldest son was Chu Ying, and their second son was Daishan.
Many historical books even call Nurhaci Tong Nurhaci.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty became stronger, the Tong family submitted a request to the Qing court to restore the Manchu surname Tong Jia. At that time, the Tong family was very powerful, with disciples and gang members all over the court, known as the "Tong Ban Dynasty". The Qing government divided the Tong family into
Two, one is incorporated into the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria; the other is organized into the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.
Tong Yangjia was incorporated into the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army. This was a good job! Huang Taiji organized and trained the Eight Banners of the Han Army, but he did not trust the Han people, so he recruited many Manchus to serve as high-ranking officials in the Han Army Banner, especially the banner masters of the Han Army.
, they must all be Manchus. Tong Yangjia’s cousin Tong Tulai is the leader of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.
As a Manchu slave who had won the trust of his master, Tong Yangjia made a small contribution and was immediately named Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He was extremely happy.
Li Chengdong, whose courtesy name is Tingzhen, is from Shaanxi and is nicknamed "Li Hezi". He is not very happy.
He was originally a subordinate of Gao Jie from the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he followed Prince Duduo of Henan to the south and made countless military exploits. Later, he went south to Fujian and participated in the battle to defeat Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He sacrificed his life and rushed to the front. He thought he was the leader.
With such a great contribution, if you don’t make him a governor, you should at least be a governor.
It's a pity that he is a Han Chinese with good roots, and he only knows how to fight. He is not good at establishing good relations with the princes and princes of Manchuria. It is a bit difficult to be a governor and a governor!
The reward from the regent has come down, and the governor of Guangdong is under the control of Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Li Chengdong wanted to kill people when he was unhappy. He had killed many people. When he was a bandit, he killed officers and soldiers;
Admiral Li first participated in a massacre: The Tenth Day in Yangzhou. That time he played a supporting role, and the protagonist was Aisin Gioro Dodo.
Later, he felt that being a supporting role was not enough, so he became the protagonist: Jiading Santu.
The Qing army issued an order to shave their heads, but the people of Jiading refused to obey. The squire Hou Dong once led the gentry and people of Jiading to revolt. Li Chengdong led 5,000 troops to attack the city and massacre it, killing more than 30,000 people in one go. This was a massacre; a few days later, the righteous soldier Zhu
Ying gathered more than 2,000 people from the surrounding area who had been spared the massacre, and retook Jiading. Li Chengdong returned to Jiading, killed all the residents of Gelong and Waigang towns outside the city, and then went to Jiading city. The corpses piled up like mountains.
The second massacre; more than 20 days later, Wu Zhifan, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Ming Dynasty, led the remaining troops to recapture Jiading. Li Chengdong returned to attack Jiading for the third time and killed more than 20,000 people. This was the third massacre.
He wanted to kill someone, but he didn't dare to kill Tong Yangjia yet. He could only endure it and stare at his smooth pigtails.
Tong Yangjia went to Li Chengdong to talk to him: "Tingzhen, the regent has treated us so well, we should repay the favor even more and attack the pseudo-Ming regime in Guangxi as soon as possible."
"Yeah," Li Chengdong snorted in a neutral tone.
Tong Yangjia knew that Li Chengdong thought the official was too young, so he immediately threw out a piece of cake: "If Tingzhen can achieve military exploits this time, I will definitely report to the regent and make Tingzhen governor of Guangdong."
Li Chengdong became energetic: "The last general will fight to the death."
Tong Yangjia nodded: "In this case, I will wait for the good news from Tingzhen in Chaozhou."
??
This time when Li Chengdong came to fight in Guangdong, he only had 4,500 veterans. Later, he merged and surrendered the troops and expanded it to more than 20,000 people, led by generals Li Yuanyin, Du Yonghe, and Hao Shangjiu. This is his direct army. In addition,
There are also more than 30,000 surrendered troops led by Wu Yibo Shifu, who was originally under Zheng Zhilong, and Shi Lang, Liang Li, Huang Ting, Cheng Sheng, Hong Xishan, etc.
A total of more than 50,000 troops marched toward Guangzhou.
He was not in a hurry to attack the Ming army in Guangzhou. He first sent Shifu and Geng Xianzhong to lead hundreds of large and small ships to exterminate the "sea pirates" in Shunde County.
Shi Fu's navy was very capable of fighting and quickly eliminated the "sea pirates", solving the army's worries.
Li Chengdong praised Shi Fu on the surface, but in his heart he was even more afraid of Shi Fu.
He had a small number of direct descendants and had long wanted to annex the more than 30,000 Zheng Zhilong surrendered troops. Unexpectedly, these Fujian guys were very united and formed a small group centered on Shi Fu, Hong Xishan and others. He could not find an opportunity for a while.
Get started.
Li Chengdong informed the regent, saying that the southern soldiers under Zheng Zhilong were "vulnerable and incapable of fighting and defending."
After winning the battle, people still say bad things. It’s unjust!
When he arrived in Guangzhou, Li Chengdong was reluctant to waste his direct lineage and let the descendants take the lead.
He first asked the surrendered general Shi Lang to attack Qixing Gang of Longmen. Yan Tianfeng, the Marquis of Pingdong in the Ming Dynasty, was waiting for him. Shi Lang defeated him in one battle and suffered a loss of 600 troops.
Li Chengdong saw that the terrain in the Qixinggang area was dangerous, so he ordered the surrendered generals Liang Li, Huang Ting, and Cheng Sheng to lead 15,000 troops to attack in a detour from Yingde in the north. Unexpectedly, Yingde was blocked by the Huangshui River from Guangzhou. The Zhongyong Marquis Yang of the Ming Dynasty
Huai, guarded the Huang River. Yang Huai also asked Lincha, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and Sungui, the Marquis of Dinghai, to borrow some sailors, artillery, and boats, and built an inland water camp with two to three thousand men to harass the Qing army across the river. Liang Li and others
They had no choice but to recruit people from their own navy and build a water camp. The two sides fought over each other across the Huangshui River, and each suffered more than a thousand casualties.
Li Chengdong saw that Yingde could not be defeated for a while, so he ordered Hong Xishan to surrender and attack the front line of Luofu Mountain. Luofu Mountain was high and steep, and Hong Xishan lost more than 800 soldiers.
When Li Chengdong saw that he couldn't get any bargains on land, he simply came from the sea. Aren't you Fujian people good at naval warfare? Shi Fu, go ahead and fight Dongguan, Xin'an, and Nanhaiwei. These places are all close to the sea.
Shi Fu's navy and the navy of Ming Fu Ming Hou Lincha and Dinghai Hou Sungui fought for a long time and occupied several small islands, each with thousands of casualties. In the end, the cold war was stopped for the time being. It turned out that Shi Fu and Lin Cha had previously
Both of them served as naval generals under Zheng Zhilong, and they are not direct descendants of Zheng Zhilong, so they have some friendship.
They fought back and forth, but all their subordinates died, so it was better to persuade them to surrender. So the two sides had a cold war and stopped fighting. You persuaded me to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and I persuaded you to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. A battle to persuade them to surrender began.
