Ma Degong's hands were trembling slightly, revealing the extreme tension and uneasiness in his heart.
All the officers are also similar.
"General, Bashan has led the Manchu troops out of Zhenjiang City and is here."
Ma De stood up triumphantly. He clenched his fists with both hands and felt that even his legs were shaking. He made a fist and punched his legs several times, making a clanging sound when he hit his skirt.
"How many have come?"
"It should be that the two thousand and five hundred yuan are here."
Ma Degong walked around in circles, trying to relieve the tension in his heart.
"grown ups?"
"Can we do this?"
When Ma Degong heard his subordinate's hesitant and doubtful words, he solidified his idea. He shook his head and said, "If a person dies, his eggs will fall into the sky. If he doesn't die for tens of millions of years, there will be no turning back when he draws his bow. Let's do it!"
"Everything will go according to plan soon."
"Go, life or death is up to you, wealth is in the sky, let's give it a try!"
The generals gritted their teeth, nodded with difficulty, and then retreated.
Zhenjiang Water Camp is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Everyone is very nervous, but as Zhao Sheng said, the Manchu Tatars are not invincible. In the past few months, the Ming Dynasty King's Division has wiped out three thousand Manchu Tatars piecemeal in Jiangnan.
, there are countless green camps.
If we add in the Han banners, green battalions and other soldiers that were destroyed in Huguang Jiangxi and Xuhuai Shandong, the Ming army would have annihilated tens of thousands of Qing troops in just a few months.
"The Tatars also carry a head on two shoulders, and they only have two fists and legs, not three heads and six arms. They will still disembowel themselves with one knife. We are not fighting these two thousand and five thousand Tatars alone. There are countless people on Jiangzhou a few miles away.
The imperial camp is there, and reinforcements can come at any time. We are just bait, and the main force is the imperial camp!"
This is a huge jam.
Calculating mentally but not intentionally.
The chances are great.
The risk is not small, but the return is higher.
Ma Degong and others have no way out, and the situation in the past few months since surrendering to the Qing Dynasty has actually made him secretly dissatisfied. He and Tian Xiong captured Emperor Hongguang and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
He was already the commander-in-chief when he was serving under his command. However, after he was transferred to the Qing Dynasty, he was first promoted to commander-in-chief, then deputy general, then commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, then deputy general of Xiezhen, and then deputy general of the navy.
The number of soldiers they lead is getting smaller and smaller. Now the Zhenjiang Water Camp they lead has only a thousand soldiers.
And now Yan Jinglue, Chen Jin and others are not even planning to give him a chance, they are trying to force him to death.
The birds are gone and the bows are hidden.
Horse hooves.
Bashan arrived with 2,500 Eight Banners stationed in Jiangning, accompanied by Chen Jin, the admiral of Caojiang and the governor of Anhui, Zhang Dayou, the governor of Jiangning, and Chen Tai, the governor of water transportation.
"Cheer up and don't reveal your secrets," Ma Degong warned.
He took people to greet him outside the camp.
The Eight Banners soldiers rushed to the camp gate very arrogantly.
"Ma Degong, the deputy general of Zhenjiang, paid homage to Chen Junmen, met with Chen Butang, met with Zhang Fuyuan, and met with Badutong."
Bashan looked at this guy with disdain, who couldn't even figure out his surname Guarja.
Chen Jin was very embarrassed. He took a look at the Zhenjiang water camp and saw that it was still neat and tidy, with no chaos at all. He was a little satisfied.
"Jiangzhou has been lost, and the Ming Navy has arrived on the island. They may rush to Xijin Ferry to seize the beach and land at any time. The manager is afraid that your camp will not be able to defend it, so he has specially invited the deputy commander of Bashan to come for reinforcements."
Bashan said very rudely, "You guys give up the camp and station yourself aside to help with defense. We will leave this place to our Manchurian flag soldiers."
Ma Degong looked at Chen Jin and said, "Junmen, my brothers are very determined to fight and are willing to fight to the death for the imperial court. Why don't we ask Badutong's flag soldiers to station behind us and guard the formation for us, so that we can be at the front?
When we are all dead, we can ask Batu Tong to come to the top."
Chen Jin was a little surprised, thinking that Ma Degong was a good slave.
Ma Degong patted his chest and said excitedly, "The army should know that I captured Hongguang and surrendered to our court in Wuhu. It would be extremely easy for the Ming Dynasty to trick me. I will never be able to repeat the same fate with Wu Shengzhao, Li Chengdong and others in this life.
This life can only be devoted to the Qing Dynasty to the end!"
Bashan nodded, "I guess you are sensible, but although you are loyal, you are no match for the Ming thieves, so you are still on the side to help defend. This important crossing is still left to us to guard."
Chen Jin also said, "Vice-General Ma, please put the overall situation first. Your loyal admiral also understands. Please hand over."
Ma Degong pretended to be aggrieved and agreed, "Please invite Batu Tong, Chen Junmen, Zhang Fuyuan and others to enter the camp first. At the end, the general will allow our camp troops to withdraw in an orderly manner and hand over some of the armor and baggage in the camp."
For you guys."
"Hurry up, don't delay things." Bashan was impatient.
"The general understands, but I still ask the Manchu soldiers to wait outside first, go out first and enter later, so that there will be no chaos. Otherwise, if the camp is small and thousands of people squeeze in, it will be even more chaotic."
Chen Jin didn't think much at this time, so he only brought some servants into the camp.
What he is more concerned about now is how many shore defense artillery pieces there are in the Zhenjiang Camp, how many floating cities and water fortresses there are, how much gunpowder there is, and so on.
More than a hundred Eight Banners followed and entered the camp.
The horse leads the way and everything goes as usual.
There were more than 2,000 Eight Banners left waiting impatiently outside the camp, asking the Zhenjiang water camp soldiers to get out of the camp first before entering.
While the Eight Banners were waiting, Ma Degong's general Xie Xiao also brought them tea, steamed buns, etc., "Manchu adults, thank you for your hard work. Please wait here for a while. After the camp troops come out, we will
Come on, it’s been a long wait.”
The flag soldiers were quite satisfied with the sensible Han soldiers, so they dismounted one by one, sat casually on the ground, took the tea and steamed buns and started eating.
In the early winter of November, the sun was beating down on my body, which was quite warm.
In the camp.
Ma Degong led Chen Jin, Bashan and others all the way to his Chinese army tent in the camp.
Ma De invited a few people into the tent and arranged their soldiers outside.
"I will go and hand over all the account books of the camp's artillery, ammunition, forts, etc. Please wait a moment." Ma Degong withdrew with a polite look on his face.
After turning around and walking not far, I entered a tent.
"The fish has taken the bait, hurry up and fire up the cannon!"
Ma DeGong roared excitedly.
There were several artillery pieces prominently placed in the military tent. Ma Degong was also a ruthless man. If he wanted to rebel, he would do it to the bottom.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I didn't expect these people to be so easy to deceive. They deceived a governor, an admiral, a governor and a governor in one go. Damn it, it's crazy."
"With this, isn't it worth a prince?"
His servants in the tent were also excited and immediately lit the cannon fuse.
Several cannons roared at the same time. These artillery pieces had been moved and hidden near the Chinese army's tent. There were a lot of them, and they had already aimed at the Chinese army's tent.
In order to enhance the lethality, the cannon was filled not with iron ball lead bullets, but with small lead bullets. A larger lead bullet was loaded on the outside. When the cannon was fired, countless large and small lead bullets were shot out.
out like hail.
It's only a few dozen steps away.
The cannons hidden in several military tents fired at the same time, spraying fan-shaped spray towards the Chinese army's tent.
Chen Tai, Chen Jin, Bashan, and Zhang Dayou in the Chinese army's tent, as well as more than a hundred Eight Banners guards outside, were immediately swept away.
When he heard the sudden sound of cannons, Chen Jin's face changed drastically and he felt something was wrong. Bashan rushed out immediately, but it was too late.
This was a sure-fire plan for Ma Degong. To be sure, more than a dozen cannons of various sizes were adjusted and hidden here.
What's even worse is that this guy is so insidious that he is even afraid that he won't be killed by the explosion, so he has hidden and stored many boxes of gunpowder in the Chinese army's big tent in advance, covered them with things, and surrounded the Chinese army's big tent.
The shells swept by like hailstones.
Finally the buried gunpowder was ignited.
With a loud rumbling sound, the entire Chinese army's tent was first blown to pieces, and then exploded into the sky by buried gunpowder.
Chen Jin, the three of them, and the more than one hundred and eight banners outside the tent, could not escape, and they were all destroyed by the bomb.
This shattering explosion and the rising flames were also signals to Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou.
After hearing the continuous explosions, Admiral Ruan Jin, who was in charge of the navy, drew his sword without hesitation and ordered the entire army to attack.
More than four hundred battleships, including thirteen Big Bird battleships with more than thirty-six cannons, began to rush out of the harbor. The sails of these battleships were all painted with huge nine-headed birds.
The Nine-Headed Bird Battleship is now a Class A battleship in the Ming Dynasty Navy. It has a double-layer gun deck and thirty-six cannons. Although there is still some gap between it and the sailing battleship of the Ban people, at the moment, for the Tatars, it is already
It's too advanced.
There are many smaller battleships surrounding the Nine-Headed Bird.
There are even many sampan-type small gunboats. This kind of small boat is equipped with a steerable gun on the bow, stern, and middle of the boat. The gun is not big, that is, it can fire one-pound shells, but this kind of gun is
It can rotate and turn without blind spots, has a fast firing rate and is flexible in action.
Although it is small, it is quite powerful. It can be controlled by a few people. If you follow the Nine-Headed Bird, it will be even more powerful.
The sound of artillery in the camp alerted the Eight Banners outside the camp gate, and they stood up in leaps and bounds.
The soldiers from the Zhenjiang water camp here were still shouting, "There may be a fire in the gunpowder store." While calling them, they quickly ran towards the camp.
The Tatars also realized something was wrong and shouted to get on their horses. Some people just rushed in with their swords.
The camp gate was also quickly closed at this time.
Behind the camp gate, many camp soldiers had secretly gathered at some point. They held out their bows and blunderbuss, and attacked the running flag soldiers without hesitation.
"Inverted!"
"Zhenjiang Camp Mutiny!"
The Tatars also saw something was wrong and shouted loudly.
They never expected that the Zhenjiang camp would turn against them.
What's even more frightening is that the admiral Chen Jin, the deputy capital Tong Bashan and the governor of Jiangning Zhang Dayou have all entered the camp.
"Hurry up, sir!"
The assistant leader Etun is Bashan's deputy general and the second-in-command of the Eight Banners stationed in Jiangfang. He did not enter the camp just now, but stayed outside the camp.
At this time, he already understood what a terrible thing had happened. He jumped on his horse, raised his sword and shouted loudly, ordering the Eight Banners to launch an attack quickly. They must immediately attack the camp and rescue Du Tong and others.
The brave Jiangning Eight Banners began to rush towards Shuiying.
Ma Degong's men had already made arrangements. They had previously hidden many armored soldiers in tents near the camp gate, and had also transferred many guns from the coastal defense batteries here.
When the cannon in the camp fired, they quickly closed the camp door and pushed the cannon out.
Gunslingers and archers also immediately ran up the fence, archery towers, etc. to take advantageous positions. Facing the rushing Eight Banners, they were even more nervous and excited to fight back!
