In the past 20 years, the Quanzhou Bay between Dazhui Island and Dashan Island is dotted with merchant ships or small fishing boats. The area is generally lonely, and often there are only a few or two seagulls dancing contentedly under the sound of the waves.

However, the situation today seems to be a little different. When the sky was slightly bright, a group of murderous warships suddenly broke into this sea area, so that the soldiers of the Qing army who occupied the Dongyue Temple site on Caoban Island as a beacon tower watched from a distance. I was a little dumbfounded when I saw it, and after a long time, I panicked and ignited the wolf smoke that I had prepared a long time ago.

Seeing the beacon fire soaring into the sky, Gu Yunxue on the handsome ship couldn't help but frowned, and then asked Ma Ying, who was much younger than him, "Admiral Quan, are you going to send someone to the island to take over this enemy post. "

"No need," Maying responded calmly. They had already sent people to clean up when they arrived at the sea off Quanzhou last night, so why would they wait for them to sound the alarm now? "I just want them to inform them. The two rivers and bays are so vast. I also want to see how the Qing captives guarding Quanzhou will react." Speaking of this, Maying ordered. "Under the banner, the Jiazi team will act according to the original plan"

Originally, when Lin Sheng set up the cross-sea combat plan, he only interrupted the small-scale raids by the Penghu and Lukang teams, and the final destination was Funing Bay in the north, but the report was made by Zheng Kezang. In this battle, he added the three regiments of the Lu Division with a stroke of a pen. In this way, what was originally a single operation of the Navy Division became a joint operation, and Lin Sheng, who had more cards, was also courageous, so he abolished the plan to go north. , re-decided to implement the strategy of attacking Quanzhou Bay.

After the flag was sent out, the five thousand-material blessing boats left the brigade, disregarding the Qing army earthen watchtowers in Guncheng and Yangdai, and went up the Jinjiang River, firing guns and cannons all the way, with a terrifying momentum.The Qing army had a total of 5000 garrisons in Quanzhou Prefecture, half of which were troops from Fujian and Jiangxi. Although the total number of troops was quite large, they had to defend the coastal counties of Jinjiang, Tong'an, Hui'an and Xiamen Hall. Troops are limited.Hearing Zheng Jun's aggressive attack, Lahuaha of Zhangquan Road in Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria was frightened, and tried his best to prevent the guard general Pu Sheng from Jiangxi Zuolu from sending troops to meet the enemy.Pusheng was a guest army, and he had no intention of fighting at all. Hearing Lahuaha's blockade, he naturally had his heart in his arms, so five thousand Qing troops chose to defend the city under the intimidation of hundreds of Zheng troops. Several sentries were sent out of the city.

The army in Fucheng did not move, and the more than 2000 defenders in Jinjiang County naturally did not dare to attack easily, so Zheng Jun was able to land calmly.Afterwards, Sun Youlao, who unified the command of the land division, decided to split the two divisions of the Zuohuwei Second Regiment and the Right Yongwei Third Regiment into sentry units. After strengthening the artillery and adding some sailors, they split up against the red Attack the forts in the closed area such as Tongtang, Hankou, Huakou, Shangguo, Baogai, Hongtang, and Chidian.

Some landlord groups loyal to the Qing court practiced armed forces and tried to resist, but they soon collapsed under the attack of Zheng Jun's artillery and deer guns; some local wealthy households thought that Zheng Jun was just looting, and tried to reward them for peace, but they were also driven out by force. They headed towards the sea; there were also those who couldn't figure out the direction and tried to play the flag of the Ming army, but they were eventually disarmed by the Zheng army and escorted to the sea.

At this time, after hearing the news, the Qing army in Hui'an hurriedly assembled the garrison troops along the line to reinforce them, but they were blocked by the first regiment of Zuo Yongwei who landed on the front line of Luoyang Bridge. The artillerymen were smashed in front of the artillery, repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Xigang. Fortunately, this is the area ruled by the Qing army. Although the defeated Qing army lost their helmets and armor all the way, they finally escaped because the Zheng army had no intention of pursuing them. Shengtian, but after this change, the Qing army who fled back to Hui'an never dared to attack again. It was not until the reinforcements from Xinghua arrived that they followed southward tremblingly.

The victorious Zuo Yongwei First Regiment immediately appeared outside Quanzhou City, and flaunted a Beijing temple built with hundreds of Qing army heads. Seeing this scene, the unpredictable Quanzhou defenders became more and more afraid to attack. After showing off their power, Zuo Yongwei turned to the sea and surrounded Donghai Fort and Gunchengbao. But before the battle started, some elders in the fort came out and surrendered. It turned out that the Qing troops who guarded the two places had all fled back after the alarm was issued. Quanzhou City.

"Zhang Qizhong (recommended by friend zjf5532) what are you doing?"

The ex-Qing army sailor who was mopping up at the woman trembled in fright when he stopped drinking, but when he looked back, he saw a class leader of the Lu division with the rank of eighth-rank Xiuwu deputy lieutenant embroidered on his sleeve, staring at him, he couldn't help laughing He let out a sigh, and said in Nanzhili official dialect: "Matou, no, it's nothing, didn't you help this little sister-in-law and get something?"

"Take things? I think you feel that you are living too comfortably and want to eat army sticks." Although Zhang Qizhong couldn't understand the strong Hokkien dialect, this kid knew it must be something bad, so naturally he didn't dare to answer. At this time, he listened to the monitor's orders. "You go to the Jinjiang area with the leader of the Tian group to explore, you are a thief, let's make such a big noise here, don't let the black tiger who came back to his senses come to his heart."

Zhang Qizhong said with a mournful face: "Ma Tou, can someone else go? I'm a sailor, and I can still splash in the sea. I'm on land now."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The team leader surnamed Tian kicked Zhang Qizhong's ass. "Countless, if it wasn't for the lack of manpower, what would I want you to do? Don't say anything. If you can't keep up, you will be treated as a deserter."

Seeing Tian Tou's unfriendly eyes with those of his soldiers, Zhang Qizhong swallowed, grabbed the temporarily assigned bird gun, and hurriedly followed, but cursed softly in Wu Su's soft language as he walked: "What's the matter, isn't it that I am surrendering my troops? If you have the guts, let me run back, and you have to do a few more games."

As soon as Zhang Qizhong looked up, he suddenly saw a Zheng Jun staring at him, so frightened that his face suddenly became serious, a joke, he really didn't use the courage to escape from under the noses of five swordsmen with a blunderbuss fight it.

A few people sometimes walked along the road, sometimes along the field path, and sometimes crossed several streams and ditches. Gradually, the hustle and bustle went away from them. Zhang Qizhong wanted to ask the leader of the field team to stop several times, but several times he stopped because of fear. He thought about it, but in the end he couldn't help it: "Tian Xiuwu, where are we going?"

The head of the Tian group was also tired from walking, so he stood still and motioned for several soldiers to stop: "Didn't you talk to Squad Leader Ma just now?"

"I heard it, but I can't go all the way to Jinjiang City." Zhang Qizhong just finished speaking when he saw several soldiers glaring at him, so he hurriedly bowed. "This is not my offense. The elder brothers are veterans in the army. Naturally, they know that it is one thing to inquire about the enemy's situation, and another thing to stop the enemy."

Having said that, several Zheng Jun seemed a little moved, so Tian Tou thought for a while and asked, "What is your charter?"

"The inland is so open, even if the Qing army comes out of Jinjiang City, is it possible that we can still guard the four gates? Even if they are scattered to the four gates, can we definitely rush to report back to the brigade in front of the Qing army?" Zhang Qizhong shook his head. "With the sun and the moon, it's good to estimate the approximate path, but just in case someone has a cavalry team"

"What are you talking about so much?" Tian Tou stared. "Say something useful."

"Yes, it's useful to say something." Zhang Qizhong pointed to the small village looming in the distance. "Our boats don't come in many, and the ones that can be transported back are only one or two thousand, but it doesn't matter if we make the noise bigger. Those big villages can't do anything with just the six of us, but we can't deal with this kind of three or two households. The Nomura is easy to catch."

"Go fight Nomura," a swordsman on the side raised his eyebrows. "What's the point of this, is it harming the common people?"

"No, what I mean is to drive them all to the county seat. The common people won't be scared by it. Just spread the word." Zhang Qizhong chuckled. "I'm also from there, and I have a sense of the temper of those officials. I believe that seeing so many people fleeing for refuge, I'm not sure how to exaggerate our strength. Maybe I'm too scared to move casually. "

"This may make sense." Tiantou thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Zhang Qizhong's suggestion, but he still had a question in his mind. "Can just a few of us create such a big momentum?"

"There is a saying that a bandit's faults are like combing, soldiers' faults are like a grate, and officials' faults are like shaving." Zhang Qizhong gritted his teeth. "Burn and kill in one sentence." Zhang Qizhong then paused. "You don't need to loot the first village, burn it first, light it up and let the Qing army in Jinjiang City take a look first, then set fire to it, then set it on fire, and wait until the third village, we will loot and burn it again."

In fact, as long as the soldiers have seen blood, none of them are merciful. Tiantou and the others sneered at Zhang Qizhong before because this kid is a second-class citizen in the Zheng army. Without the officer in charge, he was naturally a little moved.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Zhang Qizhong teased him again. "It's said that there are more men than women in Dongning, so we won't rob anything but a woman. According to the Trinity System, how much more money can we spend at most?"

Tian Tou was still a little hesitant, but several veterans who were not married by themselves or their brothers were already jealous. Under their interference, Tian Tou just asked one more question: "Then how will you explain to the officer when you go back?"

"It's simple, just say that they helped the Qing army beat us, so they burned the house and robbed women as punishment."

In fact, many things depend on whether to do it or not, not on how to explain it in the future, so Tian Tou, who made up his mind, finally made a decision: "Then do it, but don't do it too much, it's all bitter haha."

The fire finally ignited, and the soaring black smoke caught the attention of the Zheng army and at the same time surprised the Qing army guarding Jinjiang: "What, Haini has already attacked Houyang, and it is only ten miles away from the city. It won't work, send an order Go down, guard the four gates, and don't let the spies enter the city."
