The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 185

Five days later, Jiang Tao asked the navy to send Jiang Dazhuang a hundred Huaxing Type I infantry guns, as well as a large amount of ammunition and explosives.

With a batch of artillery, it became easier to attack the city. Jiang Dazhuang sent [-] troops to attack Guangdong. Suddenly, the whole of Guangdong was in panic, and more and more of Shang Zhixin's men surrendered.

"Wang Shirong is a duplicitous thing!"

Shang Zhixin almost gnawed his gums. Relying on the terrain, he mobilized his troops to resist desperately, and it was impossible to tell the winner for the time being.

A few days later, when Wu Sangui learned about this, his face was blue and red with anger. When he ascended the throne, Shang Zhixin did not come to congratulate him.

At this moment, Jiang Tao's special envoy came: "Guangdong is now owned by Daming, anyone who dares to rob it, King Huaxing will send 50 troops to retaliate, and there will be no end to death!"

Hearing the naked threat, Wu Sangui was so angry that he almost moaned, his eyes widened and he roared: "I'm so frightened, come here, throw this person out!"

"No! The emperor calm down!" Xia Xiangguo and Hu Guozhu hurriedly tried to persuade him, it must be irrational to start a full-scale war with Daming as soon as he ascended the throne.

Wu Sangui snorted heavily, and shouted with a gloomy face: "You bully people too much, you don't need to bear it any longer!"

"Very good, farewell!" The special envoy sneered and strode away.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Sangui suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sullen face: "Okay, tell King Huaxing, repeat again and again, this time, I will give Emperor Ming face, next time, hehe."

The special envoy left without looking back, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were very ugly.

"Let's talk about it, no matter what method is used, as long as King Huaxing is killed, I will not hesitate to award more rewards." Wu Sangui roared hoarsely when he saw the special envoy walking away.

"Your Majesty, I have sent more than a hundred masters. As long as King Huaxing shows up in the wild, he will not be spared."

Xia Xiangguo let out a long sigh in his heart, and retorted Hu Guozhu: "Your Majesty, King Huaxing seldom takes orders, and it is extremely difficult for strangers in the Ming Dynasty to make mistakes. It is not a good idea to directly assassinate King Huaxing, but it will anger King Huaxing. In fact, now that the Three Kingdoms are at the same level, the Emperor does not have to worry about it. Keep a low profile and train the army, and wait for the protracted war between the Qing Dynasty and King Huaxing, and our emperor will deal a fatal blow to King Huaxing, the world can be settled, and the traitors can be eliminated."

Wu Sangui snorted, and said unkindly: "What if King Huaxing attacks us first?"

"It doesn't matter. If King Huaxing attacks me, it will be a protracted war. The Manchu Qing will not miss the opportunity. After all, the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful now, just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms. We can follow the story of the Three Kingdoms and formally fight with the Manchus. Form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty and deal with the traitors of the Ming Dynasty with all our strength!"

Hearing Xia Xiangguo's persuasion, Wu Sangui felt much better, and said with a smile: "Okay, we will train another 20 troops immediately."

"Your Majesty, the treasury is already empty, I'm afraid we won't be able to train enough troops!" Xia Xiangguo said worriedly.

Wu Sangui stopped laughing immediately, and stared at Xia Xiangguo expressionlessly. Xia Xiangguo didn't dare to show off, and expressed his thoughts: "I have some ideas. First, I can make more "Western money"; Showdown food and silver, after all, the black tiger army will confiscate their fields when they arrive, and the emperor will train the army for their sake; third, order Burma to pay tribute, or send troops to attack and plunder; fourth, double the commercial tax .”

All of them are ways of making money. Wu Sangui was overjoyed and nodded his head in agreement. For him, as long as he can keep his throne, he will be polite to others. Besides, he didn't show his money to the common people.

In fact, he didn't know that showing money and grain to Haoqiang was equivalent to showing money and grain to tenants, but even if Wu Sangui knew, he wouldn't bother, after all, the training of the army was the first.

After all this, the life of the powerful landlords in the Great Zhou was not easy, and they unscrupulously increased the rent of their tenants, while the lives of ordinary people became more difficult, and many people were forced to become thieves.

They heard about Ming's policy, and looked forward to the arrival of the Black Tiger Army day and night. At this time, the guerrilla leader Jiang Tao sent appeared, and the poor people rushed to join them, but the time did not arrive, and no major riots were launched.

When Jiang Tao learned of these situations, he scolded Xia Xiangguo endlessly, wishing he could have his skin cramped. As a result, more than 2000 million people were living in dire straits.

He almost ordered a full-scale attack on Wu Sangui, but it was very likely that this would make the Qing Tartars cheaper, and it would conflict with his established strategy. He secretly swore that even if Wu Sangui died of old age, he would crush Wu Sangui, a big traitor, to ashes. Xia Xiangguo, an idiot, has so much money to make, there is a ghost to use.

But Jiang Tao didn't expect Burma to be a soft bone, and gave Wu Sangui a lot of money and food, which was really beyond his surprise.

Presumably the people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were similar. Jiang Tao suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavier. Now the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 1st Marine Divisions have been formed and are undergoing intensive training. Jiang Tao After thinking about it, there were still three months to go, so he immediately ordered the various ministries to prepare for the 7th, 8th, and 2nd divisions, all of which will be trained in the Jiangning area.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer, the Han people were bleeding, how could he turn a blind eye to it, and when the navy came back, he was going to launch a big battle, this time regardless of the casualties, he had to fight a bloody road.

………………

It was already June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Five warships of about [-] tons appeared on the sparkling sea. Chen Dajiang was standing on one of the warships. I have heard of it.

However, he knew King Huaxing's difficulties, one was to make the navy familiar with naval warfare, and the other was for money.

But when he was on the vast sea, he realized how ridiculous the previous training was. A few days ago, the five cruisers under his command failed to stop a smuggling boat that was one size smaller, and escaped in a burst of gunpowder smoke.

Hearing the wanton laughter of those veritable pirates, Chen Dajiang felt a stabbing pain in his heart, and shouted to the soldiers under his opponent from embarrassment: "If you can't even defeat the small group of pirates, then you don't have to go back."

All the sailors were also ashamed, and when they heard the roar of the navy general, they were all silent, and they cheered secretly in their hearts, and they could no longer be ashamed.

Chen Dajiang secretly rejoiced that he obeyed the prince's instructions and did not touch Zheng Jing's fleet for the time being, otherwise he might suffer heavy losses.

He originally thought that a fleet with such powerful firepower would be able to sail across the seas. Only now did he realize the vastness of the sea and the large amount of uncertainty, so he became more cautious.

In a few days, Chen Dajiang's fleet missed again. After observing, it was all because he couldn't judge the escape direction of the enemy ship. Five warships can completely surround the enemy ships in four directions, and the other one is on the periphery, filling in the loopholes at any time."

After another two days of training, they finally encountered three armed merchant ships of more than [-] materials on the vast sea, and they were Western ships.

Seeing only five miles apart.

Seeing that the other party did not flee, but did not slow down, Chen Dajiang was overjoyed. It seemed that the ship was coming from Japan. He was really arrogant. He ordered the Seawolf-class cruisers under his command to line up and opened the gun cover. 100 cannons Showing his fangs, this time, he's going to get off to a good start!

Otherwise, after returning home, he would lose face as an admiral after spending countless ammunition and gaining nothing.
