The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 357 The Filial Piety of Shang Zhijie (Seeking a Reward)

So, for whatever purpose!
After this battle, none of the Qing troops who participated in the massacre and looting near Guangzhou around the New Year's Eve in the past year would die.

What Zheng Chenggong said was correct, the casting of Jingguan really hurt the peace of heaven.

That being the case, then don't cast Jingguan, let's just kill him directly!
On the 11th day when the Ming army besieged Gaozhou, Zhu Hongyu had already set off with the main force of the Ming army to attack Guangzhou.

In fact, the main force of the Ming army took a bubble outside the high-level, frightened the Gaozhou defenders with a group of heavy artillery, and then slipped away.

The one left outside the high-rise city is only a partial division, at most it has more artillery.

Li Guangyuan, who was in charge of attracting the attention of the Qing army by pretending to be the main force under the city of Gaozhou, received a report from the sentry cavalry.

Shang Kexi led the army to come, at this time the distance from Gaozhou was less than [-] li.

The forward sentry cavalry of the two sides have already made preliminary contact!
Immediately ordered the troops to withdraw immediately after the break, and turn to the Pearl River Estuary by water.

The partial division of the Ming army stationed under the city of Gaozhou began to evacuate in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan.

A field artillery was moved onto the ship, and each unit boarded the ship according to different formations.

The fleet sailed away, the action was very smooth!

When Shang Kexi led his army to kill outside the city of Gaozhou, what he saw was such a scene.

The city wall of Gaozhou City was bombed into a mess, and the brick cladding layer outside the city wall had cracked and fallen off in large sections.

The rammed earth layer inside was exposed!
There was even a section of the city wall, even the rammed earth layer was blown away a large part.

At the head of Gaozhou city, a few large flags with Qing characters fluttered weakly, and they were full of traces left by the smoke and fire.

Gaozhou City looks like it has been spoiled!

But the camp of the Ming army outside the city was already empty!
Shang Kexi rushed to the bank of the Jianjiang River with his personal guards, and watched as he went down the river, but before he went far, he could see the Ming army fleet with sail shadows.

Shang Kexi's complexion is not very good-looking!
Obviously, the Ming army is molesting them!
Seeing that Shang Kexi was unhappy, the counselor beside him flattered him.

"My lord, if you ask me to tell you, this is nothing more than the prison of the Ming thief!"

"Once you meet the lord, you'll just run away!"

Shang Kexi just hummed lightly, and his complexion improved a little.

But the slightly better complexion was also fleeting, and a dignified and thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Suddenly, Shang Kexi looked at the Ming army fleet swaggering away, said with a flick of the horsewhip.

"Not good, Ming thief's goal is Guangzhou city!"

"The reason why they pretended to attack Gaozhou is to attract my Qing's attention!"

"Send the army, prepare to withdraw immediately!"

Shang Kexi was about to order the withdrawal of the troops immediately, but Shang Yong, the commander of his personal soldiers, persuaded him.

"My lord, the brothers rushed hundreds of miles from Guangzhou to Gaozhou. They basically marched in a hurry and never stopped."

"Those who can't return to the teacher immediately, brothers need to repair!"

"Furthermore, even if a human can grit his teeth and persevere, a war horse can't stand it!"

Shang Kexi roared angrily.

"damn it!"

"The bright thief who should be killed, what a fuck!"

"For this expedition, I almost dispatched all the troops in Guangzhou. Guangzhou is empty!"

"No, it can't be repaired, order the army to return to the division immediately!"

Shang Kexi also knows that the army is exhausted now, but his family members, even his wealth and life are all in the city of Guangzhou.

There must be no accidents in Guangzhou!

The Qing army had just arrived in Gaozhou, and before they had time to recuperate, under Shang Kexi's forced order, they began to return the same way.

The Qing army moved very quickly, especially the cavalry among them. Under Shang Kexi's military order, they rushed all the way to Guangzhou at a faster speed than when they came.

Although, the turning speed of the cavalry does have a great advantage over the infantry.

But compared with the Ming army, which has the advantage of the sea and can use water to run the army, the speed is slower than 01:30.

Furthermore, the main force of the Ming army could have set off from Gaozhou to attack Guangzhou a long time in advance.

In fact, Shang Kexi just ordered the Qing army to return to Guangzhou, and Zhu Hongyu led the team to the Pearl River Estuary.

The forts set up by the Qing army at the mouth of the Pearl River were vulnerable!
Under the overwhelming bombardment of the main fleet of the Ming army, Humen, Shajiao and other forts quickly fell.

The Ming army's fleet and transport fleet began to drive straight down the Pearl River and head towards Guangzhou!
The forts along the Pearl River want to resist!
However, under the overwhelming firepower of the Ming army's naval guns, the forts along the line were pulled out one by one.

In the end, there is no more daring to resist!

Furthermore, the surface of the Pearl River Estuary is very wide.

If it weren't for the sake of the army's retreat, the Ming army would have passed without having to gnaw off the forts one by one.

The artillery range of this era cannot block the entire Pearl River!

Moreover, the news of the Ming fleet's invasion of the Pearl River was rushed to Guangzhou by the Qing army with eight hundred miles.

……

In Guangzhou City!

A delightful bedroom in Pingnan Palace!

On the large carved huanghuali bed, Shang Zhijie hugged Shang Kexi's concubine who had just entered the room, and worked hard for him to have another brother or sister.

The concubine is pretty and still very young, but Shang Kexi is old, with more energy than energy.

Shang Zhijie, who has always been filial, is very willing to help his father take care of the "aunt" who he can't take care of.

As for why he takes care of him in Shang Kexi's bedroom, of course he is filial and doesn't want his "aunt" to go to his courtyard exclusively.

How tiring!

It's just how nice my father's bedroom is, with a big bed, and it's not far from "Auntie"'s side courtyard.

And because generally no one dares to enter Shang Kexi's study room, he is not afraid of being disturbed.

Just right!
Anyway, Shang Zhijie said that it was definitely not for excitement!

Enjoying the tenderness of the beauty, Shang Zhijie, who was indulging in the bed, narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside.

Shang Zhijie's complexion changed drastically, he was afraid that his father had returned, so he withdrew in spite of his little brother's protest.

He quickly put on his clothes, took Shang Kexi's concubine through the window and left.

He and his concubine parted ways in the garden of Pingnan Prince's Mansion, and Shang Zhijie headed towards his own courtyard, thinking that he must go to take good care of his "aunt" again tonight.

At this moment, an Eight Banners soldier under the Pingnan Prince's Mansion strode up to Shang Zhijie and said.

"My lord, my lord, Ming thieves have invaded the Pearl River, and the forts at Humen and Shajiao have all fallen!"

"The navy of the Ming army is mighty and immeasurable, and they are coming towards Guangzhou!"

After hearing the news that the Ming fleet had invaded the Pearl River and was heading for Guangzhou, Shang Zhijie's face quickly turned pale.

Even the little brother with a horny head softened instantly!
"This... this, this!"

Shang Zhijie opened his mouth and said stutteringly.

"what is the problem?"
