I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 14 Qing troops arrive in Taiwan
Kangxi 60th year, May [-]th.

Jueluo Manbao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, arrived in Quanzhou and ordered the governor Lu Youlong to sit in Quanzhou and mobilize troops and supplies to support the military.

Manbao only stayed in Quanzhou for one day, then galloped south and arrived at Xiamen.He also consulted Lan Tingzhen, the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao Town, to join forces in Xiamen to discuss countering the rebellion.

Mid-May.

When he heard that the Governor-General was about to arrive in Xiamen, Shi Shibiao said: "This important place has entrustment, and I can do it."

He then told Langmiao: "Taiwan is decided by the public. The emperor appointed his son to succeed him as a commander. Now it is not easy to live in peace. He will live and die without being able to see his ancestors. He will lose his loyalty and filial piety, and his family reputation will be ruined." You are a heroic spirit, and you should remain silent!"

Next May.

The Manbao arrived in Xiamen, where Lan Tingzhen met his troops, and the documents regarding the advance of the army arrived. The agreement was agreed upon, and the Manbao was overjoyed and said, "I have transferred this king, and he has won the platform!"

Even after President Tingzhen crossed Taiwan, he gathered [-] land and sea soldiers and [-] ships, and joined forces with Admiral Shi Shiqiao to attack them.

Governor Manbao personally led the group discussion in Xiamen and together with the generals decided on a three-way advance plan.

early june.

Master Xing, Manbao Gong built a seaside to send it to him.

Tingzhen was very excited and calmly said to the governor: "The grass bandits are not enough to bother us. If they land on the other side, we can report them and put them down."

The fleet sailed for five or six days and arrived at Penghu. They set up camp near the new city and garrisoned troops. They also distributed food to support the Penghu officers.

Every day, Admiral Shi Shiqiao sent small boats out to the sentries.

……

this day.

Deer gate.

The two sentries on duty at the tower were chatting in Zhangzhou dialect out of boredom.

"I'm telling you! That wife of Wang Wu is really... Tsk, she can make water come out when you pinch her!" (Just think of this as Zhangzhou dialect...)
"What does it have to do with you, Zhang San, when water comes out of someone's mouth? Also, don't lie to me that I haven't seen her. Did we hear that her woman looks like a donkey, and water comes out of her mouth when she pinches her?"

"Don't believe me, I'm telling you... Wait a minute, I need to pee urgently, so I have to go to the hut! I'll tell you when I get back."

"Okay, you go ahead! I'll take a look at the post for a while... huh? What is that?"

"Ah? What what?"

After hearing this, the man who was about to go to the latrine didn't know why, so he turned around and asked.

But the other party ignored him at all, and instead stared straight at the telescope placed on the sentry tower.

This thing is used to see the sea. It can see much farther than a person.

This guy was a little confused, so he turned around and saw a few black figures on the sea, which looked like...

"That's... a boat? And it's a small boat? It's too far away to see clearly..."

This man's eyes were almost narrowed to a slit, but he still couldn't see clearly.

But behind him, the man looking into the telescope gradually had a look of panic on his face: "That flag... is not good! It's the Qing army! It's the Qing army's navy sentinel boat. Hurry, go and report it to the king!" The Qing army is coming to kill us!"

"This...I haven't gone to the latrine yet!"

"What the hell, hurry up and go!"

In a flurry, the two sentries hurriedly rode the mountain horses assigned to them by Zhu Yijiong and galloped towards the rear towards Anping Town.

It only takes less than a day.

King Zhu, who was located in the valley north of Fucheng, received the news. King Zhu, who had been prepared, immediately issued instructions.

"Whoever comes, please immediately ask Yang Gong, Huang Dian, Li Yong, Wu Wai, and Zheng Dingrui to come to the big tent to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

……

Penghu Island.Shi Shibiao and Lan Tingzhen, the two chief counterinsurgent officers, were discussing matters in the main tent of the camp outside the city.

Originally, Lan Tingzhen wanted to go to the city.But Shi Shiqiao stopped him and said, "How can a general be separated from his soldiers?"

And beside the two of them, there are many staff members who are responsible for counselors on military affairs.

The group of people just gathered around a table, looking at the rough and scrawled map of Taiwan on the table, and discussing the next strategy.

"Shi Junmen, based on my opinion, we should divide our troops into three groups. Head all the way to the south, go to Dagougang, and go directly to Fengshan County, the base of the rebel army. Go all the way north, enter Tamsui Hall, and join the Tamsui Battalion to defend Chen Ce. Join forces and go south. Then attack one group and march into Luermen. In this way, if the three groups attack together, the bandit army will be defeated!"

Lan Tingzhen talked eloquently, which made Shi Shibiao's eyelids twitch.

Isn't this the three-way attack plan personally planned by the governor in Xiamen?

If you want to please and flatter the Governor, we won't stop you, but you can't do it so forcefully!

Shi Shiqiao took a deep breath. Considering that the other party was on the same level as him and had just been praised highly by the governor in Xiamen, he still didn't say anything too harshly.

"What Mr. Lan said is reasonable. However, at this time of year, the south wind is strong, and Dagou Port is located directly south of Taiwan. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for the South Route Army to park here."

"Although there is a slight wind break on the north road, Shangdanshui is more than a hundred miles away from Fucheng. In addition, the Tamsui camp has few soldiers and there are Zhuluo counties in the middle. It is difficult to move southward."

"If you want to launch an army to quell the rebellion, you still have to start from Luermen."

"But we don't know whether the bandit army is real or not. Would it be too risky to land at Lu'ermen rashly?"

Lan Tingzhen was not really stupid, and also raised her own concerns.

"This is indeed extremely worrisome..."

Just when the two were in a dilemma, a messenger suddenly rushed into the tent.

"Report! My two lords, we captured a boat outside the island. There were two people on the boat who claimed to be the commander of the trapped thieves. When they heard that the army had arrived in Penghu, they deliberately fled back, hoping to attract thieves with their promises."

"what?"

Shi Shibiao was a little surprised.

"Junmen, this is because God is helping me!"

Lan Tingzhen was very happy.

Shi Shibiao shook his head: "No, if you come and go, you will definitely target (spies)."

However, Shi Shibiao did not immediately order the arrest, but instead invited the two people back to the camp.

Then he took Lan Tingzhen with him and invited the two people to drink and eat meat in the camp, euphemistically calling it "catching the wind and washing away the dust."

The two people had no doubt that he was there, and they were soon fed a lot of evil.

Shi Shibiao had already prepared and took the opportunity to make some lies.

These two people were so drunk that they didn't know what to say and what not to say, so they just told everything about the island.

"So it turns out that the rebel army was divided internally. Du Junying's troops went south and took away nearly half of the main force of the rebel army..."

Shi Shiqiao, who returned to the main tent and sobered up, looked at the map on the case, "In other words, in Taiwan's capital city, the number of thieves who can fight is not more than ten thousand? Haha, it is simply self-destruction!"

Lan Tingzhen was convinced: "Yes! Now we don't have to worry, we can just go straight to Luermen and Huanglong!"

"Huanglong? A bunch of thieves, are you worthy of being called a dragon? Are you still asking Taizu to give you thunder from heaven in his dream?"

Shi Shibiao sneered, "As expected of a mob, do you even believe in such things as pretending to be gods and ghosts?"

Lan Tingzhen nodded and suggested: "However, Shi Junmen, there is nothing to worry about with this rabble. However, they can gather 30 people, which shows that the people are boiling with resentment, and killing too many people will be useless. When the rebel army is calmed down, a notice to calm the people will be posted. By then, The people will be at peace."

"As it should be!"

　Shi Shiqiao was strict in running the army, and he always shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.He was a famous general in the early Qing Dynasty.
