Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 170: Kill Fukangan, and then accurately spread rumors from multiple angles!

Melee,

People on both sides kept falling to the ground, which was very tragic.

Li Ergou knocked down the charging cavalry with one shot, and then rolled on the spot to avoid having his head sliced ​​off by a roaring cavalry sword.

Liu Wu, on the other hand, ordered his men to push out all the remaining 6-pound cannons.

There are still more than a dozen guns!
The artillerymen were crazy. They didn't care about the correct operating procedures. They just jammed the fuse and lit the fuse.

aim?nonexistent.

The shotgun quickly failed to keep up, and there was no time to transport it from the rear.

One gunner stuffed the silver and copper coins in his arms into the barrel of the cannon, and the others immediately followed suit.

Even the knife handles and spear heads on the ground were stuffed in.

Facing the five or six Qing cavalry who rushed over, they lit the fuse.

This shot is worth 50 taels!
The effect was great, everyone fell to the ground!

Chaos, the entire battlefield turned into a mess.

The muskets rarely fired anymore, and everyone was gritting their teeth and fighting hand to hand.

There are many Qing soldiers, and they have formed an encirclement. They are slashing with swords and spears and gradually compressing them.

At this time, the sound of cow horns was heard in the distance.

……

Fukang'an turned around and saw an army of several hundred men wearing green camp uniforms appearing in sight.

The flags are flying and the drums are beating rhythmically.

"Nanjunmen, which battalion is this?"

"Looking at the flag, it seems to be Jinshan Camp."

"Did you adjust it?"

"Your Majesty has never issued a military order to mobilize the Jinshan Battalion. They are moving out without authorization." Nan Yunsheng's face was a little distorted.

"Perhaps they saw the fierce fighting here, and they wanted to earn some military merit." Fukangan was not angry.

He felt in his heart that if this bold green battalion dared to take credit, they would be heavily rewarded after the war.

The bravery of the Green Camp soldiers can only be encouraged, not discouraged.

In the entire Jiangnan Lvying, only raising bids and raising bids are still a little energetic, and the rest are just messing around.

Fukang'an held up his telescope and observed the surrounded "rogue thieves". He was in a good mood and said:
"In one more hour, the battle will be over."

"Nanjunmen, you have suffered a great loss in raising the bid. We must quickly replenish our troops after the war~"

Seeing no response, Fukangan turned his head and looked displeased.

I saw Nan Yunsheng standing on the saddle, looking left and right.

"Nanjunmen, are you juggling? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Futai, I'll lend you something."

Nan Yunsheng's telescope was lost while supervising the battle.

He rudely took away Fukangan's telescope from him.

Fukang'an was stunned, then his face darkened, and he was ready to scold this old guy for not understanding the dignity and inferiority of officials.

But suddenly I heard the old guy yelling strangely:
"It's a lie. These people are not Jinshan Camp. Jinshan Camp does not have so many soldiers and cannot get out of such a formation."

……

A mile away, Lin Huaisheng, wearing the robe of a Qing military attache, raised his saber:

"Cover on both sides, don't let anyone go."

"Inform Wusimai's cavalry team and prepare to intercept any fish that slip through the net."

"As ordered."

The captains stood on the right side of their respective formations, loudly directing the actions of the musketeers.

Li Yu's last chess piece finally landed on the chessboard.

Under the banner of Caobang grain ship, the two fully-organized musketry battalions of Xishan Island were transported here with light equipment (the baggage was not accompanied by artillery).

The fleet departs from Taihu Lake and has two route options to reach the Huangpu River.

The first is to take the Grand Canal first, then enter the Yangtze River, and finally sail into the Huangpu River.

The second is to go directly east, pass through Wujiang River, Suzhou River and enter the Huangpu River.There are narrow rivers all the way.

Lin Huaisheng’s department is taking the second route.

Caobang is very familiar with this waterway, and Tan Muguang personally manages the battle.

This 1000-man elite musketeer team has become the biggest variable on the battlefield.

Except for the 3 people in the three musketeers designated by Lin Huaisheng, the rest spread out in teams to cover the battlefield.

To the beat of the drums, stride forward.

After walking to 200 meters, he stopped loudly under the captain's order.

"Raise the gun and let go."

A deafening gunshot woke up the two sides who were fighting bloody battles.

Rifled guns, miniguns, and familiarizing yourself with movements that become muscle memory.

Lin Huaisheng was pleased with the Li's Musketeers' first battlefield performance.

Keep reloading, keep shooting, as cold as a machine.

The sound of gunshots was almost constant and smoke filled the air.

Nan Yunsheng died, a mini bullet penetrated the iron helmet, and his blood spurted Fukangan's face.

……

In the encirclement, Li Ergou wiped the blood on his face and laughed loudly:
"Our reinforcements are here, kill these idiotic officers and soldiers."

There were less than 300 people alive, and they were all frantically trying to kill the fleeing Qing troops.

In the distance, Lin Huaisheng loudly ordered:

"The whole army will advance 50 steps before shooting and shrink the encirclement."

The Musketeers obeyed the order and walked out of the smoke-filled area, their vision suddenly became clearer.

Gunfire rang out again, killing Qing troops from a distance.

There is no wind today, so after a few rounds, we move forward a few dozen steps to ensure that our vision is not obscured by the white smoke of gunpowder.

The Qing army was like cutting wheat, falling one crop after another.

The bid-raisers and bid-raisers were all screaming for their lives, and their morale collapsed.

In the feudal era, once any army was broken up, there was no possibility of regrouping and fighting again in a short period of time.

The Li family's army was killing them vigorously, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.

Liu Wu and others, who were worried about being accidentally hit, also raised their flags and huddled in one place.

Until, I watched one of my own walking around.

Wang Liu's eyes filled with tears, and he kept chanting, win, win.

There were not even one Zao Ding out of ten who started the uprising in Jiangbei.

It feels like a different world, war is so cruel!
He was both grateful that Li Yu finally took action, but also a little resentful as to why he didn't take action earlier.

In fact, Lin Huaisheng would not tell him that they were already in place yesterday afternoon, sitting quietly in the boat, and did not go ashore until today to fight.

Because Li Yu had promised before leaving that he was not allowed to show up until the last moment.

Lin Huaisheng thought it was to ensure a foolproof victory, but in fact this was only one of the factors.

……

The 100-horse team that Wusi bought rushed over.

Along the bank of the Huangpu River, the swords were shining brightly, and heads rolled in everywhere they went, blocking the Qing troops who wanted to jump into the river to survive. ,

They rushed back and forth repeatedly and drove the Qing army to a depression.

Lin Huaisheng's heart moved and he held up Nan Yunsheng's head and shouted:

"Nanjunmen is dead. Surrender without killing."

Anyone who hesitates or thinks of forming a formation to resist will be shot with a round of musketry.

Especially when you raise your gun, you can hit a large area!

Fukang'an was hiding among the soldiers. He had lost his lightning rod helmet a long time ago and was in a very embarrassed state.

"Tiger Wings, my officer is here."

Heila, the leader of Sauron's left wing, rushed over with five tribesmen to protect him.

"Lord Dutong, what is going on?"

"Stop talking and rush out while protecting me. I recommend you all to be promoted to the third level."

Lin Huaisheng saw this group of conspicuous people, riding a war horse, charging left and right.

At first glance, it seems that the big fish wants to break out.

Especially Huheila, who was very good at archery. He could shoot left and right and many of the musketeers around him were killed.

This thing is so flexible, it can accelerate and turn at the same time.

At first glance, he is the MVP of the losing team.

"Come here, all the gunmen, have you seen it? Let's fight together." Lin Huaisheng pointed at him.

Five gunmen and five assistant shooters ran forward for dozens of meters, guessing that the shooting range was enough.

The deputy shooter squatted down, held the barrel of the gun, blocked his ears with cotton balls, and steady his steps.

There was a dull sound of gunfire, and flames spewed out.

A mile away, Fukang'an fell off his horse in response.The power of raising the gun is terrifying, but loading is too laborious.

Also, the deputy shooter's shoulder is uncomfortable and his expression is painful.

"Lord Dutong, are you okay?" Huheila screamed and jumped off the horse.

In fact, he was also shot. An extremely small iron ball entered his shoulder and his movements were weak.

……

Lin Huaisheng mobilized a musketry team and ran quickly to block this group of "big fish".

At the same time, the flag was raised for Wu Simai to intercept and kill.

Wu Si was eager to kill, holding a spear under his arm, and rushed over.

Two arrows flew towards him, and he was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. A plum blossom arrow penetrated the cotton armor shoulder guard.

At the same time, a cavalryman fell from his horse and was shot through the face.

It can be seen that Sauron is good at shooting.

"Du Tong, you go first." Huheila helped Fukangan onto a war horse and whipped him hard.

The war horse was in pain and ran wildly.

After running a few hundred meters, he barely missed the arriving musketeers.

After a salvo,

The war horse was shot and fell to the ground whiningly. Fukangan stood up, rolled around, and drew out his saber.

"Put down your sword and kneel down," shouted a musketeer.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty with a yellow flag, and the governor of Jiangsu Province, Fukang'an. Long live the Qing Dynasty, and long live the emperor. Kill!"

What responded to him was the roar of five muskets. Fukangan, who rushed forward with a knife, was shot continuously and fell to the ground.

Even the exquisite armor could not block the direct fire from such a close musket.

Several bayonets were stabbed into the wound and rotated.Mainly because I was afraid that he would cheat his death, after all, this was the biggest fish today.

A musketeer picked up his saber and slashed it to the neck~
……

The Qing army collapsed across the board, and the surrendered troops were driven into a depression.

Lin Huaisheng quietly asked someone to bring a few still intact artillery pieces over. It was impossible to release the more than 1000 Qing troops remaining in the depression.

Guns fired and they were all killed.

Not only that, a military order was also issued:
"Clean the battlefield and hit all the corpses."

Li Jiajun's bayonets were stained with blood on a large scale for the first time.

Not to mention, many fish that slipped through the net were discovered during this process.

Screams and sporadic gunshots sounded from time to time, which continued until the sunset.

Areas where bodies are piled up too thickly,

Li Jiajun directly pushed the artillery and shouted: "Pretend to be dead, we are going to fire."

Under tremendous psychological pressure, some people suddenly jumped up from the pile of corpses and ran away.

No surprise, he was shot and jumped into the street, making a last hit.

The 200 Zaoding who survived were also tempered and reborn, becoming fierce soldiers.

He no longer had the timidity and humility of being a cook. He picked up a spear on the battlefield and stabbed the corpses one by one.

The Huangpu River is deserted.

The people all around for more than ten miles had fled, and as far as the eye could see, there was deathly silence.

Lin Huaisheng summoned Li Ergou, Li Dahu, Liu Wu, and Wang Liu, and announced the lord's next order:
"You and your brothers will board the ship and return to Xishan. The Lord wants to see you."

"I will complete the next task for you."

The few people were extremely exhausted, said goodbye in a hurry, boarded the ship and disappeared into the night.

The victorious Li Jiajun took off half of their uniforms, revealing the civilian uniforms underneath.

They raised a banner of "Jiangnan Salt Army" and headed south with a smile.

Five miles away from the battlefield, Cai Lala camped on the spot, very arrogantly.

Lin Huaisheng was actually among them.

The other half, still wearing their uniforms, headed west to camp.

……

At this time, Lijiabao.

Jia Xiaozhen, a scholar who is good at writing books and whose pen name is "Xiao Xiaosheng", is holding a notebook to record the instructions given by his lord.

The eyes show admiration, the micro-expressions are just right, shock, admiration, enlightenment~
It’s hard to imagine that a serious person’s expression can be so flexible and vivid!

"...the purpose of increasing propaganda was to panic people in the south of the Yangtze River. 6000 officers and soldiers died in the battle, admirals and governors died in the battle, and even the mythical Sauron soldiers of the Qing Dynasty died in the battle."

"It is important to point out the rich background of the bandit and emphasize the conspiracy theory."

"Rumor one is that this is a rebellion within the Eight Banners. The noble Lower Five Banners want to drive out the corrupt Upper Three Banners by force, conquer the upper ones, and seize power."

"Rumor [-]: The chief helmsman of the Tiandihui who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty was a foreign Jinshi from the British Empire and received support from five European countries. Foreign guns, cannons and ships have reached the south of the Yangtze River to avenge Emperor Hongguang."

"Rumor [-]: The gentry in Jiangnan united with local officials and wanted to break away from the Qing Dynasty, use Jiangnan's money to support Jiangnan's soldiers, and establish their own Yangtze River Delta empire."

"Lord, why do you make up so many stories?"

"Ah, because human beings are self-righteous and often only believe what they want to believe. Only by spreading rumors from multiple angles can we ensure the universality of the audience and accurately hit every group."

……

Jia Xiaozhen solemnly recorded it in his notebook and left in a hurry.

As the mouthpiece of the rebel group, he was responsible for drafting the text.

Liu Qian's intelligence organization was then responsible for the dissemination.

Including but not limited to, distributing printed cheat sheets, passing them from person to person in teahouses, and from person to person in brothels. Brother, let me tell you a secret, but you can’t tell anyone else~
In less than half a month, the news was spreading in Su, Song, Chang, and Tai four mansions.

The more things the government prohibits talking about, the harder it is to stop it.

The main theme is the more forbidden the more exciting, the reverse psychology!

What's more, there are thousands of coolies at Xujiang Wharf, who will tell every ship when they see it docking.

"Shopkeeper, it's for your own good. Please don't walk along the Huangpu River during this period."

"Why pinch?"

"The officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed the bandits, 6000 people died, and the water of the Huangpu River turned red."

"Hiss, is it true or false?"

"If you don't believe me, go to the government and ask."

As a result, merchant ships carried the news along the Grand Canal, eventually achieving exponential spread.

……

"There is civil unrest in Changzhou County?"

"Yes, there were more than 100 people with red tassel guns, claiming to be members of the Red Gun Club. They stabbed two wealthy households to death, robbed hundreds of taels of silver, and ran away."

"Then what's going on in Changshu County?"

"A local Qingpi who had just been released from prison gathered more than 20 people to seek revenge. He killed the whole family of the prisoner and called himself the King of Yu. He ran away to Luocao in Yushan Mountain."

Li Yu looked at the handwritten copy of the official documents with a suspicious look on his face.

There are similar civil unrest everywhere in Taicang Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture, and most of them have secret gang backgrounds.

The smoke is spreading?What about the promised prosperous period of Qianlong?
He couldn't help but knock on the table and asked:
"Liu Qian, was it you?"

"Not really."

"Is that what the White Lotus Sect did?"

"The high officials have wronged the Nu family, but this religion really has no instigation." Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!White Lotus Saint Pan Saiyun appeared outside the house with a smile.

Seeing that Li Yu was still suspicious, she pointed to the sky seriously:
"I swear to Maitreya Buddha, the slave family didn't know anything about it. The focus of our sect's current work is really not in Jiangnan."

"Well, what's the purpose of Miss Pan's visit?"

"When buying firearms, the more the better. Give cash or give it to others."

Li Yu avoided the topic and said with a smile:
"Where are you, the White Lotus Sect, planning to cause trouble? Let me know beforehand so that I can be mentally prepared."

"Hubei Hanyang Mansion, seize the grain!"

……

Li Yu stared at this unpredictable woman with sharp eyes.

Pan Saiyun looked serious and explained:
"The food shortage is so severe that a heavy snowstorm lasted for half a month after the new year, and there were no livestock or crops left. Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the seven prefectures at the junction of Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi will not be able to survive the autumn harvest."

"Okay, Miss Pan is sincere and will not give in to women. 1500 matchlock guns, matching lead gunpowder, can be delivered within three days."

Pan Saiyun stood up and gave a solemn salute.

What she said was true. The price of food in Yunyang Mansion had increased fourfold.

Local large-scale farmers have begun to hesitate to sell, claiming that there is no food to sell.

Crisis is a business opportunity for some people!
As long as you are cruel enough, you can make a lifetime of money in a few months!

Even the food reserves in Woniu Village, Bailian Zongtan, cannot last more than three months.

In the Wudang Mountains to the west, believers and miners have begun to dig wild vegetables and roots, mix them with rice and cook porridge to satisfy their hunger.

Otherwise, many people will starve to death.

Leader Hong was wise and wise, sized up the situation, and immediately announced a plan to seize food with arms. Rather than starve to death, it would be better to die under the sword of the officers and soldiers.

People can die in battle, but they cannot starve to death!
At this point, Li Yu and Master Hong cherish each other.

When you are desperate, you should first remember that you are a human being!

Everything else has nothing to do with you, you just need to try your best to survive!
