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

Chapter 51 Haicheng is ruined
After leaving the palace, Wu Wai was still thinking about how to form a royal guard.

Jinyiwei was the most terrifying intelligence and assassination agency in the Ming Dynasty. It could be said to be an intelligence assassination agency that could stop children from crying at night. Although it was exaggerated, its reputation was still very resounding.

Even folk stories in this play do not forget to add this scandalous name, but most of them are villains.

In the past few months in Xiamen, Wu Wai not only inquired about information and made friends, but also got to know this.

It is worth mentioning that the Jinyiwei actually existed in the Qing Dynasty, but it only existed for a year before its name was changed. During the Qianlong period, a well-known big shot also appeared.

Those people from various religions and horse racing merchants can indeed develop into the peripheral organization of Jin Yiwei, but the internal members still have to use those with professional skills, preferably from the military.

However, even if the king agrees to secondment from the army, it will probably arouse the vigilance of the generals in the army, and they will have to think of a way.

Wu Wai thought deeply and walked out of the palace gate.As soon as he went out, Zhang Ashan, who was standing guard in person, quickly greeted him with a respectful expression.

Seeing this, Wu Wai was stunned for a moment, a little strange, but he didn't pay much attention because he had something on his mind. He returned the gift with his hand and left in a hurry.

Not to mention that Zhu Yijiong in Xiamen built a royal guard in advance because he was worried about the factional disputes in the army.

In addition, the northern and southern armies of the Ming Dynasty attacked at the same time. The southern armies commanded by Xu Jin crossed the strait on naval warships and arrived in Haicheng County on the same day.

"Xu Zhen, look!"

In front of the army formation, Xu Jin, the commander, rode slowly.At this time, the deputy commander Lin Liang, who was also riding a horse but was half a step behind, pointed at the top of the gate of Haicheng County. There was a corpse hanging there. The corpse was still wearing a tattered Qing court official robe, just exposed to the sun. Under the scorching sun.

Around the county town, the victims who were leaning on the city wall or on the roadside were frightened and fled in all directions when they saw the arrival of a large number of "official troops".

There were also some who didn't run away, but they had either turned into corpses or were too hungry to run any further. They could only look at Xu Jin's "official army" blankly, waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.

When Xu Jin saw him, he stretched out his hand and Lin Liang rode forward.Xu Jin whispered a few words to him, and Lin Liang nodded, dismounted and led a group of soldiers to run towards the victims who were paralyzed on the roadside waiting to die.

Because he was far away, he couldn't hear what Lin Liang said. He only saw him taking out pancakes and other dry food, which attracted a group of hungry and helpless victims to grab it.

However, as soon as Lin Liang drew his knife, the victims suddenly became quiet again.

After a long time, Lin Liang returned with his soldiers. He cupped his hands towards Xu Jin who was on horseback and said, "Xu Zhen, the general has already inquired and cleared us. The person hanging on the wall is the former Haicheng County Magistrate. These stupid people I don’t know his name, I only know that he is Mr. Sang.”

"And they are all common people in Haicheng County. They were all victims of the disaster who escaped from General Lin... er, it was General Lin. The people are ignorant and call everyone king. They are all victims of the disaster who escaped from General Lin. Because General Lin took away all the food in the county, even the county magistrate of Haicheng was killed by him."

"In addition, the Puppet Qing Dynasty does not care about the life and death of these disaster victims, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only stay here, living in confusion and fending for themselves."

"Ha, then Lin Jun is just a bandit in troubled times, but he is also worthy of being called a general?" Xu Jin sneered.

Lin Liang heard this and quickly agreed: "What Xu Zhen said is true. How can Lin Jun, a mere bandit, be called a general?"

"...Okay, let's go to the city first! Send an order to bury all the unknown corpses in this county on the spot. As for Magistrate Sang, let him be buried together! Don't let this county be destroyed by our Ming Dynasty." There’s a plague down there.”

After scolding, Xu Jin began to order the aftermath. During the war, if the corpses were piled up and not buried, a plague would easily break out over time.

Plagues in ancient times often followed the army, because the ancient army had the most deaths and had the worst sanitary conditions.

Xu Jin rode a horse and looked around Haicheng County. This trip was in vain. It seemed that he had conquered the county without any effort, but the dilapidation of the county was beyond Xu Jin's imagination.Not to mention the entire territory of Zhangzhou, even if half of it is like this, then there is no need for Ming Dynasty to continue to send troops to Zhangzhou.

We can't afford this logistics alone. Fortunately, His Highness the Supervisor of the Kingdom has foresight. As long as we take Haicheng from the south, the main route of advance is still from the north.

Otherwise, according to his way of thinking, Ming Dynasty will definitely fall into the quagmire of Zhangzhou.

At that time, if the Qing army reacts, even if he does not die, he will be beaten back to Taiwan and become the second in command of the Zheng family.

After Xu Jin led his troops to Haicheng County, he ordered the burial of the unclaimed corpses, and also sent people to report the situation in Haicheng County to Xiamen urgently. At the same time, he requested Xiamen to urgently transfer a batch of food for use. Relieve victims.

This is not because Xu Jin is kind-hearted, it is simply because Haicheng County was so severely harmed by Lin Jun that the entire county was almost empty.

If we don't get some food for disaster relief and raise refugees, what will the Ming Dynasty do with Haicheng County?
Even if it is an important border town, it must have people living in it in order to function!

……

The first year of Yonghe in the Ming Dynasty (the 60th year of Kangxi), September 22.

Just when Xu Jin on the South Road was very busy with the garrison and reconstruction work in Haicheng County.

Yang Gong's Northern Route Army controlled the second town of the headquarters, plus Liu Guoji's third town, and Zhang Yue's [-] troops.

Carrying a dozen red cannons disassembled from naval battleships and gunpowder bullets, they walked along the Daiyun Mountains for many days and finally arrived at the boundary of Anxi County at the end of the month.

Zhu Yijiong's Ming Dynasty currently has few qualified craftsmen, and those in the army can at best produce a grenade.It can only be said that it is very difficult to make artillery by hand, especially a large-tonnage artillery like the red cannon.

Just looking at the map, Anxi County is located to the north of Xiamen and Nan'an, and seems to have no connection with the Jinxia defense line.The Qing army could completely ignore Anxi and come directly to fight Tongan.

But actually, that’s not how it is seen.If the Qing army really dared to cross over directly to attack Tong'an and then march into Xiamen, Zhu Yijiong would probably laugh out of his dreams.

The Daiyun Mountains are quite long, and Anxi County is located in the southeastern extension of the Daiyun Mountains. The terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east.The average altitude of the higher places is about a thousand meters. There are occasional valley sections, which are also narrow and intricate. There are also rivers that intersect in the basin and divide it.

As long as heavy troops are stationed in the dangerous areas and fortifications are built, tens of thousands of Qing troops can be resisted.

In other words, Fujian seems to have this advantage. It is full of mountains. [-]% of the province is made up of mountains and river valleys, making it difficult to attack and defend.

Therefore, Fujian has also been known as an indisputable place for military strategists since ancient times.

Because it is too troublesome to break in from the outside, we can only wait for the world to seize it, and then suppress it with the force of thunder.

In fact, except for the Han Dynasty who really sent troops to destroy Fujian, few other regimes were able to forcibly conquer this land, and most of them had to make forced landings.

The Qing court's garrison in Fujian, except for Zhili Province, also ranked first in the country, with more than 7 troops.

Who makes this place not only an important town in Taihuan, but also too complicated?

　Everyone should know about that big shot in the Imperial Guard during the Qianlong Dynasty!
