The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 250
The Qing army was defeated, and the cavalry of the Restoration Army went out in pursuit.

The cavalry chased the north, and the Tartars fled in embarrassment!
What blood!

Zhu Hongyu was eager to try, but was held back by Wang Ruxian beside him.

The corner of his mouth twitched, Zhu Hongyu suppressed his impulse, and just quietly watched the changes on the battlefield.

When the battle was over, Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and gave an order.

"Order the whole army to immediately enter Foshan, control all the craftsmen in Foshan, and not let one go!"

"Let's prepare for the retreat in advance. Calculate the time. Shang Kexi will return to Guangzhou soon!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu's order was issued, and the Liberation Army quickly took control of the entire Foshan Town.

Then start arresting people door to door!

As a center of handicraft industry in Foshan, every household is full of skilled craftsmen.

Zhu Hongyu didn't want to let go of any of these skilled craftsmen.

Many craftsmen fled to the countryside, only to be captured by the Restoration Army.

The Liberation Army stopped in Foshan and stopped advancing to Guangzhou.

If Zhu Hongyu wanted to take a stroll down the city of Guangzhou, it wouldn't be a big problem, it could be done.

Now in Guangzhou, the Qing army does not have a field force that can stop the advance of the recovery army.

But there is really no need for that!
Now the Liberation Army has collected a lot of people and craftsmen along the coast.

For the time being, it has reached the limit of what the Liberation Army can absorb and digest.

Going for a walk around the city of Guangzhou, apart from stimulating the Qing court, has no other benefits.

In addition, Shang Kexi is expected to return to Guangzhou soon, Zhu Hongyu doesn't want to go to the city of Guangzhou to take risks at this time to find excitement.

After collecting all the craftsmen in Foshan, the recovery army began to withdraw in an orderly manner!
Heading south all the way!

……

After Shang Kexi received the news that Macau and Humen were attacked and attacked by the Ming-British coalition forces, he was already preparing to withdraw his troops from South Australia.

But the soldiers and horses under his hands, including the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, total tens of thousands!

An army of tens of thousands of people cannot be withdrawn just by withdrawing.

It takes time to make arrangements and preparations for food and supplies, and the order in which the troops evacuate before and after.

Moreover, due to the war in Nan'ao, it was a joint operation between Pingnan Palace and Jingnan Palace.

He is happy to withdraw, but he has to discuss it with Geng Jingzhong no matter what!
In addition, Shang Kexi feels that the defenses of Macau and Humen are quite strong, and nothing will happen for a while.

So, he was not in a hurry!
However, Shang Kexi had just slowly arranged the retreat and was about to leave.

He received news that Macau and Humen were broken one after another.

Then, Shang Kexi couldn't sit still anymore, and ordered the army to return to Guangzhou immediately without further delay!
Humen doesn't matter, but the fall of Macau is absolutely unacceptable to Shang Kexi.

However, just after he led the team to Jieyang, Chaozhou, the Qing army was defeated in Tanzhou Town, the eldest son Shang Zhixin was killed, and the news that the Qiqianping Nanwangfu Fan's flag soldiers were wiped out came again...

When Shang Kexi heard the news, his eyes went dark and he almost fell off the horse.

He endured his grief and ordered all the cavalry to march quickly to the aid of Guangzhou regardless of the infantry.

There must be nothing wrong with Guangzhou!
Although Shang Zhixin was the eldest son, he grew up in the capital and was regarded as a playmate by Emperor Shunzhi.

The two father and son don't spend much time together!
To say how deep the relationship between the two is, it would be bullshit.

Besides, Shang Kexi is quite capable of giving birth, and has given birth to dozens of sons, and even more than a hundred grandchildren.

So, Shang Zhixin's death, although Shang Kexi is heartbroken, it is not unacceptable!
However, one must know that Shang Kexi's other children and grandchildren all settled in the city of Guangzhou!
In case the city of Guangzhou is breached by Ming thieves...

It's equivalent to being kicked out of the nest, good guy, the group will be wiped out immediately!

For a wolf king, the death of a cub is nothing, but if all the cubs are wiped out, then the calf is over.

Back then, before he voted for the Man Qing, the Man Qing conquered Phi Island and massacred the city, and Shang Kexi's cubs had already been wiped out once by the Man Qing regiment.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of a cub being wiped out again!
Driven by this, Shang Kexi led the cavalry from Pingnan Palace to Guangzhou day and night!

I don't know how many war horses were exhausted along the way, but Shang Kexi didn't stop at half a step, constantly asking the soldiers under his command to march faster.

Since they are all cavalry, their marching speed is very fast!

When the Restoration Army broke through Foshan, Shang Kexi had already reached the vicinity of Huizhou Prefecture.

And still galloping day and night, heading for Guangzhou!

……

In the city of Guangzhou, Jin Guangzu fell into absolute panic when he heard the news of Foshan's defeat from the sentry.

The face is full of fear visible to the naked eye!

Foshan was defeated in the blocking battle, and the thousands of green battalion soldiers he managed to get together were defeated by the Ming army, and the Ming army invaded Foshan.

After the news spread, the entire Guangzhou mansion was in panic.

You know, Foshan is not far from Guangzhou!

"My lord, you need to make up your mind!"

The prefect of Guangzhou, Tong San and other officials gathered together and spoke.

Jin Guangzu rubbed the center of his eyebrows in pain, and said.

"You can't fight in waves, you can't fight in waves!"

"Let's shrink our troops, keeping Guangzhou is the top priority!"

"Wait for Pingnan Wang and his old man to lead his army back to help, and then talk about counterattacking the Ming army!"

"What's more, send a letter to the Pingnan Palace, asking the Palace to summon the Eight Banners soldiers again and prepare to help defend Guangzhou!"

Jin Guangzu's decision was very conservative.

Everyone responded one after another.

At this time, no one dared to propose to take the initiative to meet the Liberation Army!
The Qing army in Guangzhou retreated inside the city of Guangzhou, and the Qing army led by Shang Kexi galloped back to aid Guangzhou day and night.

There is still a long way to go!

Under such circumstances, after engulfing the craftsmen in Foshan and dismantling a large number of professional machinery, the Liberation Army retreated southward in an orderly manner.

Along the way, I didn't encounter any interception!
Due to the availability of waterways, the speed of advance and withdrawal of the Liberation Army was very fast.

When Shang Kexi led his troops back to Guangzhou, the Guangfu Army had already withdrawn to the front line of Xiangshan, and deployed defenses in place, preparing to stop the Qing army.

Buy time for the transfer of a large number of people and materials!
……

Outside Guangzhou!

Jin Guangzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the prefect of Guangzhou, Tongpan, and Shang Kexi's other sons, such as Shang Zhixiao, Shang Zhijie and others all gathered outside the city.

Welcome the returning army led by Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi himself.

A puff of smoke appeared at the end of the horizon!
Then there was a crowd of people in the dark!
The sound of the horse's hooves trampling the ground rang in everyone's ears.

It seems that God is thundering, venting his anger!

The flags were fluttering, and the big banner representing the identity of King Pingnan was very conspicuous.

The scene of thousands of troops and horses galloping forward is quite frightening.

The knights on horseback were all dusty and tired, but they wore cotton armor, held swords and bows, and looked fierce.

An aura of iron and blood killing is coming!

Many civil servants outside Guangzhou who had never seen such a scene were trembling, almost incontinent.

However, such a scene also made the bewilderment and fear of the "Ming-British Allied Forces" in the hearts of Qing officials quietly disappear without a trace.

With such a great army in the Qing Dynasty, why be afraid of mere foreigners and ugly people?
