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

Chapter 95

Huyuan Creek originates from Hushan in Pujiang County, hence the name Huyuan.A long time ago, Huyuan River was a water trade road connecting Pujiang, Tonglu, Zhuji, Fuyang and other places.

This is also described in detail in the "Sikuquanshu".

The Eighteen Crossings in Huyuan are actually far more than the Eighteen Crossings, and there are many fast currents on the beach, making it difficult for large ships to pass. Only bamboo rafts are convenient and fast.

It is said that when the First Emperor visited Kuaiji from the Huyuan Water Road to the south, he also took the Huyuan Bamboo Raft.During the Anti-Japanese War, there was even a transportation platoon here with a total of more than 300 units, which transported a large amount of military supplies to the front line.

Huang Sheng, the admiral of Zhejiang, came down from the bamboo raft. The Pujiang magistrate who had been waiting on the bank hurriedly came forward and said with a flattering face: "Master Dutai came to Pujiang in person to conquer the Ming thieves this time, and Master Futai decided to encircle this area on all sides." Strategy, even if the Ming thieves are lucky enough to get Fujian, they will all be turned into powder under my powerful Qing force!"

"At that time, Lord Dutai personally conquers the Ming thieves and achieves this unparalleled feat. The emperor will definitely be very happy. I will congratulate Lord Dutai in advance."

Although the Pujiang magistrate was just flattering, he cleverly combined with reality.And although his boss was actually Tu Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, he knew how to assess the situation and knew that it was the admiral Huang Sheng who came to Pujiang in person.

In this case, I only need to express my gratitude to Master Futai, and then I will lick Master Dutai completely.

Not to mention, what he does is quite useful. Who doesn’t like to hear good words?
Huang Sheng was very helpful to the Pujiang magistrate who was so nice and well-spoken, and even gave him a rare compliment.

As soon as the Pujiang County Magistrate heard Huang Sheng praise him, he immediately worked harder. He nodded and bowed his head to welcome Huang Sheng into the county. He looked like a domestic slave and kept licking until the heat was almost done. Then he took advantage of the situation and invited Huang Sheng to the Yamen for a banquet.

Huang Sheng entered Pujiang County to drink, eat meat and have sex, but the [-] troops he led were unable to enter the city.

It's not that the Pujiang County Magistrate is deliberately making things difficult, it's just that Pujiang County is so big. If [-] troops are really sent into the county, the entire Pujiang County will have to be demolished.

It's a pity that the Pujiang magistrate didn't think so, but the [-] troops outside the city didn't think so.

They only saw that the admiral was invited to drink and eat meat in the county, while they could only endure hunger and cold outside the county.

Originally, if it was just like this, then who made Huang Sheng the admiral?
However, the magistrate of Napujiang insisted on taking action. Although it was impossible for the [-]-strong army to enter the city, in order to please Huang Sheng, the Zhejiang admiral, when allocating the station, he not only made a special trip to arrange the final arrangements for Huang Sheng's [-] supervisors. Good area.

He even sent his own master to personally lead a team carrying wine and meat to work in the military camp of Supervisor Biao.

After all the showmanship, I don't know if Huang Sheng's supervisor was flattered, but the tens of thousands of Hangzhou recruits were all furious.

As the soldiers normally recruited by the capital of Hangzhou, most of them were not forcibly recruited, but Tu Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, had promised them three meals a day, and they would have one meal every day and even pay.

As a result, now that they have come to Pujiang County, the Ming thieves have not even met yet, and this differential treatment has already started.

Those officers and soldiers drank wine and ate meat, but these brave soldiers, let alone doing it, might not be able to eat three meals even if they were thin. Most of them were extremely thin, and even mixed with a lot of moldy rice.

It has only been one day, but the [-]-strong army is already full of resentment, and there is nowhere to vent their frustrations...

……

On December 28, I stayed in Pujiang County for two full days.

Huang Sheng's face was glowing, and he got up comfortably from the arms of the county magistrate's concubine. He immediately tidied up and then officially led his army south to encircle and suppress the Ming thieves.

All right!This is another person who doesn't know how to fight, or in other words, is a person who talks on paper.

Surrounded from all sides, even if you don't speed up the march, you actually stay in one place for more than two days, not even to replenish your rest, but just to drink and eat meat.Not only Huang Sheng's [-] Hangzhou Army, but also the Qing armies of the other four armies, Quzhou, Chuzhou, Wenzhou, and Taizhou, also stopped and went. It's not that they deliberately delayed, it was simply that the quality of the army's soldiers was too poor. .

Just talking about the food of the Green Camp Army, the food they usually eat is not good, and there is almost no smell of meat. In addition, the superiors are desperate for money and money, so it is good to live by the money they can get.

There was no food or pay, so the soldiers naturally neglected to practice. Even the officers knew this, so they usually did not practice as much as they could.

This physical fitness has naturally declined, and in addition, these four armies also brought many young recruits who were worse than the Green Camp.

These recruits are not so much recruiting soldiers as they are free civilian laborers who fight part-time. They are basically civilian laborers during normal times.

If you do this, you can't walk fast enough. On average, Dai Kun, the fastest walking soldier in Wenzhou, can only march twenty miles in an average day, and then either he can't walk or it gets dark.

The border of Jinhua Prefecture is more than 200 miles away from Wenzhou Prefecture. Calculated in this way, the Wenzhou General Soldier would not be able to reach Jinhua Prefecture in less than ten days.

Good guy, Yang Gong just learned the old slave's fighting style, but he didn't want the Qing army to play harder than him, so he directly gave him a perfect replica of the Saar Hu from back then.

"Report, Mr. Dutai, an army of Ming thieves has been spotted ahead!" Huang Sheng's army had just left Pujiang County when they received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry.

Huang Sheng was a little surprised. He was leading an army of [-] people south this time. It was enough for the thieves not to retreat and defend, but they actually dared to come to the door and seek death?

However, the army of Ming thieves could take the initiative to attack, and Huang Sheng naturally did not want to give up this great feat of movement. In his opinion, the so-called [-] Ming thieves defeated a hundred thousand Fujian officers and soldiers was simply a rumor spread by the common people.

If the Ming thieves were really that powerful, by the time they entered Zhejiang, the whole of Zhejiang would already be in their possession, so why would they need to move around?

Therefore, Huang Sheng was not only completely justified at this moment, but he was also thinking in his mind whether it would be better to capture the Ming thief general alive or captive in this battle.

Time soon came to noon. In the last few days of the 60th year of Kangxi and the first year of Yonghe, the armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties gradually began to come into close contact with each other.

Although there was still two miles between the two armies, strictly speaking, the battle had already begun.

Because they were outside the city or fighting in the plains, they could catch up with them within two miles of each other in a dash.

At this time, if one side suddenly retreats without completely defeating the other side, it will definitely turn into a major rout.

This Zhejiang admiral is at least a little more knowledgeable about military affairs than the previous Fujian governor, but only a little.He did not place the incompetent recruits in the front army, but chose a mixed and matched method to supervise the recruitment and formation of troops together.

In the afternoon, the two armies continued to advance. Yang Gong did not hesitate anymore and immediately issued the order to fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

Several loud noises echoed over the battlefield, and a large cloud of white smoke immediately rose from the Ming army's artillery position. The pungent smell of sulfur instantly filled the Ming army's formation and lingered for a long time.

A total of ten black bullets flew out of the smoke towards the Qing army's formation, and then fell into the Qing army's position at an unimaginable speed and powerful kinetic energy. The Qing army's cannons were trying to advance forward. In the team.

"Oh!"
