Chapter 189 Don't Be Afraid, Ama, Be Filial! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Shang Kexi listened to the emperor's edict to beg you today, and arrested you without letting go!"

"It's still gratifying, we will beg you to be punished!"

"Follow the order to hunt down thieves! Follow the order to kill thieves."

"bang bang bang"

On the Xiaolan Ferry battlefield, this morning was really lively. The sound of waving flags and shouts almost overwhelmed the sound of flintlock fire. Except for the people from the Shang family, everyone else, whether they were members of the Wang family army or The Cantonese who watched the excitement were all shouting "Bongzhao begs for thieves" with their throats open!
This yelling had a blow to the morale of the Shang family's army, which almost surpassed that of a flintlock!

This is probably the case of being aggressive and guilty of being a thief—the people on Shang Kexi's side, whether they are the flag soldiers under the vassal state or the green battalion soldiers, all have no "ism" and only know that they are working for the Shang family and the Qing emperor.So when they learned that the Shang family was going to send troops to attack the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, they were already uneasy.

King Pingnan sent troops to fight the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, alas, this should not be done!
They are all from the Qing Dynasty, so why did they fight?

At least one of them is a traitor, right?Otherwise, both sides are loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and there will be no fight.

Since at least one party is a traitor, who is more like a thief?Is Wang Fuchen still gratifying?
I'm still afraid to think about this matter, once I think about it, the more I think about it, the more wrong it is, no matter how I think about it, it seems that it is still gratifying and more dangerous.
It's fine if the battle goes smoothly, but if it doesn't go well, the hearts of the people below will be even more empty, and they are afraid that they will be buried with Shang Kexi, an old thief!
Now this battle is not going well, it can be said that it is a bad start!A small ferry has been gnawed for a long time, and there are thousands of casualties without being shot down, and an ambush. Looking at the firepower density of this shotgun, there may be thousands of enemy troops ambushing in Xiaolan Village, right?
Moreover, Wang's army's shotguns seemed numerous and fierce, and the Shang's army and green battalion soldiers rushing forward were knocked down one by one, causing heavy casualties!
Under such circumstances, suddenly there are people everywhere shouting "I will beg you under the imperial edict", can Shang Kexi's banner soldiers and green battalion soldiers who have read (listened to) "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" well not panic?Can the mentality not collapse?
Not only did they panic, but even Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan panicked.

They both have a guilty conscience!Although they all thought that what Wang Zhongxiao did in Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning counties was enough to be a rebellion.But what about themselves?Sending troops to attack the army under the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi without requesting an order, and even sending troops to Guangxi under the order of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Is this not a rebellion?
This kind of behavior is even worse than dismantling the land of powerful landlords, demolishing the border walls along the coast, and forming a [-] township army!
So it seemed natural for Emperor Xiaomazi to issue an edict to crusade against the Shang family. It's just that the edict to punish the thieves came a little sooner?At this speed, it is too late for eight hundred miles to fly!

Just as Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan thought something was wrong, the slogan "Follow the order to punish thieves" came from their left and right like a tsunami.The two quickly turned their heads to look over, only to find that two long snake formations with wide fronts appeared on their left and right wings at some point!

These two long snake formations are both composed of pikemen and pikemen. The pikemen are in the center, which excludes a very dense formation, and their shotguns are equipped with knives on their muzzles, which are shining in the sun. It's a little creepy.

In addition, those shotguns looked a little strange, as if they didn't have matchlocks!Are they all "self-generating muskets"?

Before they recovered from the panic of being outflanked on both wings, the situation on the front of the battlefield changed again.The shotgun soldiers who were ambushing Xiaolan Village and the woods on both sides of the village just now rushed out and quickly formed a "long snake formation" on the paddy fields and official roads outside the village!The Guangdong soldiers who had pretended to be defeated before also turned around and came back, following behind the "long snake formation", there was a huge area, all of them were soldiers wrapped in red scarves, and they were all shouting "Follow the imperial edict to punish the thief"!
On the battlefield, the Shang Family Banner Soldiers and the Green Battalion Soldiers didn't have the courage to confront the enemy surrounded by three breadcrumbs. Looking around, there was a tragic scene of defeat everywhere.The red front line composed of Guangdong township soldiers tightened and tightened. As they advanced, they used amazing volleys of guns to drive away the panic-stricken Shangjia Army and Green Battalion soldiers. The Shangjia soldiers and the green battalion soldiers wearing red-tasseled straw hats fell face down, like an ant's nest in the water, they saw the crowd tumbling down.

Before Shang Zhixiao could react, the Li Lan next to him would show up. Seeing that something was wrong, he turned his horse's head silently, and sneaked away with his own soldier Geshiha.

"Second Master, Li Junmen has escaped!"

"Second Master, let's run too!"

"Second Master."

It was Shang Zhixiao's soldiers and Geshha who reacted faster. Seeing Li Lan run away, they all yelled to remind Shang Zhixiao to run quickly. He took the reins of his horse and ran to Xiaolan Ferry.

Shang Zhixiao was dragged to the ferry like this, he did not run alone, there were people beside him carrying his "Three Armed Command" flag and "Dutong General Flag"!

These days, generals have to carry banners and golden drums when they are in battle. Wherever the generals go, they can go there with the flag and recognize the flag.So once the general flag and recognition flag disappear or run away, at least the people below will be shaken in the army. In the current situation, it will collapse directly.

On the battlefield, there was a huge shout of "lost! Defeated!", and the panic and hustle and bustle swept across Xiaolan Village to the north bank of Xiaolan Waterway!
There is also a ferry on the north bank of the Xiaolan Waterway, where Shang Zhixiao and Li Lan still left 3000 or [-] people. They saw the big rout on the south bank, and heard "lost, defeated" and "obtaining thieves under the imperial edict", and they were all caught up in it. flustered.And there are many Shunde people watching the excitement near the ferry, some of them are clamoring loudly, and some are running to their own villages——you have to report it quickly, but I am glad that this old thief is finished!

The sky in Guangdong is about to change!
Shang Zhixiao finally rushed to the edge of the pier at Xiaolan Ferry under the protection of his personal soldier Goshha. It was already a mess, and the two boats moored by the pier were already full of people who could run faster than Shang Zhixiao. The army was defeated.

One of the boats has been snatched by Li Lan's men and is slowly sailing away from the pier. The other boat is in a mess because it is full of people and has no one to direct it. It is impossible to leave the pier at all. It looked like it was about to turn over.

Shang Zhixiao's Goshha chief was a ruthless man, so he simply drew his bow and arrow, and shouted: "Get off the boat quickly, let the second master go first!"

While shouting, start shooting arrows!
The other Shang Zhixiao's Geshha and his own soldiers were also unambiguous, and they all took up their bows and arrows and shot at the ferry!
The arrow skills of this group of people are still very good. The sharp arrows swept away like raindrops, sweeping away the rows crowded on the ferry, and all of them fell into the water with a plop. The ferry was immediately empty. Shang Zhixiao Then he was led onto the ferry, and a group of vicious Goshha and his own soldiers followed, paddling desperately with spears and knives in their hands, and slowly rowed the boat to the north bank.

Seeing this scene, the generals of the Shang family and the soldiers of the green battalion on the pier couldn't help cursing angrily.

"Shang, you are not a thing! Run away first, and kill your own people."

"Shang Zhixiao, you fucking kill your own people without mercy!"

"Everyone with the surname Shang is not a human being and should be killed"

"M, the one with the surname Shang is the traitor!"

"Yes! They are traitors. They should all be killed!"

"Let's surrender to the royal army!"

"Surrender, surrender."

"Wang Zhijun, we surrender!"

Shang Zhixiao has not yet reached the north bank, and the Xiaolan pier is already shouting "surrender!"Even those who didn't call for surrender didn't dare to fight any more, but threw away their weapons and armor one after another, and began to swim across the river.

All of a sudden, the Xiaolan waterway was full of braided heads.

This is no longer a defeat like a mountain, but a landslide!

How could Shang Zhixiao, who had returned to the north bank of Xiaolan Waterway, still want to fight?run away
The sky in the inner city of Guangzhou is about to collapse!
It hasn't completely collapsed yet, because the news of the fiasco in the Battle of Xiaolan has not yet spread back to Guangzhou.

But Chen Shikai, the chief soldier of the Humen navy, had already fled back to Guangzhou with the remnants of the Humen town, and reported the bad news that Wu Sanwei and Aobai were ordered to ask for favor, and the soldiers were about to arrive.

Now Guangzhou is empty, and the main force is fighting fiercely with the Wang family's Guangdong soldiers on the Xiangshan side, and they can't get out for a while.And the Humen Navy suffered a disastrous defeat in Lingdingyang, and Wu Sanwei and Aobai were about to march along the Pearl River waterway.

How can this be good?

In the nine halls of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, the half-blind Shang Kexi put on the cloth face armor that he hadn't worn for many years, and sat on the throne with a waist knife in his hand, as if he wanted the king to conquer him personally.

I don't know whether to go to Chaozhou or Shaozhou?

Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Guangdong, Fu Honglie, the prefect of Guangzhou, Jin Guang, Shang Kexi's great military adviser, and Shang Kexi's sons, Shang Zhilian, Shang Zhisheng, Shang Zhizuo, Shang Zhiguang, Shang Zhiyu, and Shang Kexi's two old brothers Shang Kexi Monk Kele, everyone rushed here in a hurry, where are they all talking to pay attention to Shang Kexi!

"My lord, the city of Guangzhou is strong, and there are tens of thousands of subordinates in the city. Among them, there are [-] to [-] who can still fight to the death!"

"Ama, hurry up and call back the second brother from Xiangshan. The second brother took away all the elite soldiers of the feudal clan. As long as the second brother's soldiers come back, Guangzhou will be as solid as gold!"

"Ama, let's negotiate a peace! Let Fourth Master Wu and Grand Master Ao give them whatever they want, as long as they don't want Guangzhou."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's negotiate a peace! Now the world seems to be surnamed Wu"

"Fifth, what nonsense are you talking about? You are rebelling!"

"Old Ninth, our Ama has sent troops to attack the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Isn't that a rebellion?"

"How can it be a rebellion to attack the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi? The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is not the emperor!"

"This is rebellion!"

"No, it's not a rebellion"

Shang Kexi's sons were able to come up with ideas, and actually brought the topic to the issue of "rebellious nature"!He was so happy to hear that he didn't say anything, how could he rebel if he was so loyal to Qing Dynasty?Even if he sent troops to fight Wang Fuchen, it could not be classified as rebellion.Because it was Wang Fuchen who rebelled first - he and his son shared the land, built private soldiers, changed the official system, and cut taxes. This is all rebellion!
"Stop it! Damn it," Shang Kexi, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, let out a roar, choking off the sons who were arguing. end!"

After being yelled at by him like this, the people below did not dare to say anything, they just looked at Shang Kexi timidly.

"Boss, boss!"

Shang Kexi yelled twice, but no one answered, and after a while, he heard Shang Kexi's second brother Shang's cute voice: "Fourth brother, your eldest is not here."

"Didn't come? The sky is falling and he still doesn't come?" Shang Kexi became even more angry when he heard it, "Fourth, fourth, bring a few people to bring your elder brother to me!"

The "fourth" that Shang Kexi calls is of course not himself, but his fourth son, Shang Zhijie.

But still no one paid any attention to him, and it was only after a while that people said: "Ama, fourth brother didn't come either."

Shang Kexi was taken aback for a moment, already feeling something was wrong, "What about the old twelve and fourteen? Are you here?"

"Never come"

"What?" Shang Kexi immediately knew something was wrong.

Shang Kexi has quite a lot of sons, but not all of them lead soldiers. There are not so many soldiers to lead them. Only five sons, Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao, Shang Zhijie, Shang Zhiying, and Shang Zhihuang, are leading soldiers.

Now Shang Zhixiao is away with his troops, but the four sons of the soldiers in Guangzhou did not come to the meeting of Jiujiandian. What do they want to do?what are you doing?
When Shang Kexi knew it was bad, someone outside the main hall suddenly shouted: "My lord is bad, my lord, my second lord has been defeated!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Li Lan, the admiral of Guangdong, being supported by two or two personal soldiers, and rushed into the hall even crawling on the ground. Not good", his head and face were covered with sweat and cement, his coat was soaked, and his hat didn't know where it went. After rushing in, he threw himself on the ground and cried loudly: "My lord, my lord, we were given by Wang Fuchen. defeated."

"Wang Fuchen?"

"What? Didn't he go to beat Sun Yanling?"

There was an exclamation in the hall.

"He, he didn't go to beat Sun Yanling!" Li Lanyong said in a hoarse, crying voice, "My lord, the minister of the king has issued an edict to lead troops to attack you! He led an army of [-] to [-] in Xiaolan An ambush was set up at the ferry, and a half-way crossing was made for us, and we were defeated! The second master and the last general had to fight to the death, and the second master was picking up the remnants of the soldiers, and asked the last general to come to Guangzhou to report first. My lord, you have to make up your mind quickly! "

"Ah? He, he, he..." Shang Kexi couldn't hold back anymore, "It's impossible! This old man is so devoted to Da Qing! This old man has done so many things for Da Qing, killed so many people, Offending the whole of Guangdong, why did the emperor listen to the slander of that treacherous minister Wang Fuchen?"

"My lord." Zhu Guozhi was also frightened by the news. If Wang Fuchen obeyed the imperial edict, it is still gratifying, then if he hangs out with Shang kexi, is he considered a traitor?This is to destroy the Nine Clans!

He stammered and said, "It's still, let's quickly ask Mr. Da to discuss the countermeasures!"

Shang Kexi was already slumped on the throne, nodded, and just wanted his elder brother "cute" Shang Kei to invite Shang Zhixin, but Li Lan interrupted again: "You don't need to invite, I Da Gong and Fourth Master, The twelfth master and the fourteenth master have already arrived at the palace."

"Here?" Shang Kexi was taken aback.

Li Lan nodded: "I saw them when I came in. They are leading their own soldiers into the mansion!"

"What? Leading the soldiers into the mansion?" Shang Kexi was taken aback, "What do they want to do? Where are they?"

"We're almost at the Nine Halls"

As soon as Li Lan finished speaking, several palace guards guarding outside the nine halls rushed in, and one of them was still shouting: "My lord, my lord, something is wrong, my son, fourth master, The Twelfth Lord and the Fourteenth Lord brought troops to the Nine Halls."

"Bah! Bah!"

Two gunshots were heard immediately, followed by Shang Zhixin's loud voice: "Ama, don't be afraid, Haier Zhixin is a filial son, and you are here to be a filial son by bringing soldiers into the mansion!"

Be a filial son?Be a filial son, right?
Everyone in the hall was speechless, is this how filial sons are now?

While he was speechless, Shang Zhixin was already carrying two pistols, three brothers in strong coats and a group of personal soldiers, and came in aggressively from outside, accompanied by Shi Li Tianzhi, the head of the palace.

"You, what do you want to do?" Shang Kexi asked loudly.

"I will be a filial son!" Shang Zhixin replied, "Ama, didn't Li Junmen tell you? The emperor has issued an edict to punish you. You have been punished by the court, how can you be a prince? Are you going to rebel? ?”

"I, I, I"

Shang Kexi was speechless for a moment, he has been crusaded, can he still be a prince?Certainly not!Unless you rebel!

"Ama, since you can't be the prince anymore, who will be the prince?" Shang Zhixin patted his chest, "Then it's only me! I'm the eldest son, or I Da Gong. I can only be the prince! Ama, Don't worry, I am a filial son, and I will never let you go! I will immediately play to the emperor and ask him to spare your life!"
