Chapter 153 The fire is too hot, the water is too cold!
The sky is burning!
How hot the sky is!
The dozen or so soldiers who protected Zeng Qizhao were still fierce just now, as if they were going to fight, but now they were hesitant and all looked at their master.
Of course, Zeng Qizhao was also afraid of the fire, but he could not surrender... Can the second ruthless man in Guangdong surrender? How many people did he kill when he broke Guangzhou and Wencun? Many of them were probably the beloved relatives and friends of Prince Zhu San and Grandson Zhu San!
Zeng Erruthless man was not allowed to peel the skin in their hands? Compared with this fragmented way of death, Tianhuo Shao is not so terrible!
At this moment, the people outside the yard seemed to find Zeng Qizhao hiding in the yard, so they shouted loudly: "I heard that the Qing Yao inside, we will only kill Zeng Yaotou, hand over Zeng Yaotou, and everyone else can survive... Otherwise, they will be burned to death with the sky fire!"
Zeng Qizhao's personal soldiers were even more shaken. The Guangdong people outside only wanted to kill Zeng Yaotou... Zeng Yaotou was a good slave to the Qing emperor. He was not afraid of death and could be buried with glory after death.
Zeng Qizhao knew that there would be a lot of danger, but he was not willing to sit and wait for the fire, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and shouted: "Hey, what kind of man is afraid of? Follow me and everyone fights out!"
All his personal soldiers under him had been kind to him and were used to obeying him as a ruthless man. They immediately picked up guys, as if they were about to fight desperately, but no one would take the lead.
Well, Zhao Du said that he followed him out, so he would rush first!
And was Zeng Qizhao a slave of the Qing Dynasty or a ruthless person among the slaves? He was still very cruel. When he saw that the people below were afraid, he rushed out with a big knife. But as soon as he arrived outside the gate, he found something was wrong!
At this time, the door was full of Ming soldiers and villagers holding sharp blade muskets, all of whom were gritting their teeth. One of them was wearing a robe with a collar red colored cloth stained with blood and a Portuguese helmet looking very fierce, and he was holding a musket without a fuse in his hand and aiming at Zeng Qizhao alone.
Zeng Qizhao also found that he was the only Qing soldiers outside the yard... His personal soldiers were still hiding in the yard and never came out!
The second ruthless man in Guangdong was about to summon his subordinates to come out and fight desperately when he heard a "bang" sound, and the gate of the yard behind him had already been closed.
"He is Zeng Yaotou!"
"He is Zeng Yaotou, the deputy general at the Qing Luhu Gate..."
"Master Tianbing, hurry up and catch Zeng Yaotou!"
Just when Zeng Qizhao was thinking about whether to climb over the wall and go back to the yard, the Qing people in Huangpu Village were already identifying him - Huangpu Village was originally an international trade village, and the residents in the village were either business or boat riding. Zeng Qizhao, the deputy navy general, didn't believe in his skills in boat riding, so he rented a boat from Huangpu Village when he went to Guangzhou and Humen. So many people in Huangpu Village knew him!
Zeng Qizhao, who has been recognized, knows that he is not going to be able to do well. He is the second ruthless person in Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty! He is definitely full of enemies in Guangdong, and at least millions of them will be said to be! If you want to catch him, you will not be able to peel it off!
So the man surnamed Zeng wanted to find someone to kill him, but who had a quick musket in his hand? Especially a few Jinyi's personal soldiers were holding the English flintlock rifle that was handed over from the Great Oriental. They didn't need to light the ignition rope. They aimed at Zeng Yaotou's knees and broke Zeng Yaotou's kneecap on the spot.
The reason why I hit my knees was that I led the troops to capture Zeng Qizhao's Ling Zongjun, and I had to catch them alive!
I have to catch Lingchi back and live!
Seeing Zeng Yao's head being knocked to the ground, Ling Zongjun, who was so excited that he was about to sing, yelled: "Catch the alive... don't kill it, you will have to cut it into pieces!"
"knew!"
"Catch the living..."
"Thousands of cuts!"
A group of Jinyi's personal soldiers and villagers agreed and surrounded him. It was really useless to stab him with a sharp knife, but the wooden stick, broom, feces and forks were hit on him... First hit him with a broken hand and foot, and then you can catch him alive!
......
The scene where Zeng Yaotou was beaten to death by someone and was captured alive. Shang Zhixin, who was standing in front of the Dragon King Temple on the north bank of the Pearl River, could not see clearly, but he could still see how the more than a thousand elite soldiers of the Green Camp under Zeng Qizhao were wiped out under the joint attack of Zhu San Taisun's Jinyi personal army and the troubled people in Huangpu Village.
Although Zhu Sanming's army suspected of mastering the magic technique and could use "smoke technique" and "fireball technique", if there was no rebellion by the troublemakers in Huangpu Village and helped the Ming army fight together, Zeng Qizhao could still use the terrain of Huangpu Village to fight and retreat at the same time... But once the troublemakers in Huangpu Village rebelled, Zeng Qizhao would be dead!
This Huangpu Village is a big village, and it is also a "water thief village". Most of the villagers drive boats and transport, so every household has muskets and swords, and the strong men in the village can search for a few exercises.
In addition, this village has become rich because of the sea trade since the Southern Song Dynasty, so every household has built very solid houses, and many houses have also built gun-fired towers... They can place guns from a high place to block the roads in the village.
Therefore, the unlucky people in Huangpu Village turned against each other. Zeng Qizhao, the second most ruthless person in Guangdong, had no choice but to die.
After capturing Zeng Qizhao alive, the unlucky people from Huangpu Village and the landed Jinyi soldiers rushed to the west pier of Huangpu Village.
The west wharf of Huangpu Village faces Haizhu Island, and it was originally a freight wharf. The goods transported from Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Hunan along the Pearl River system were generally unloaded at the West wharf, while the imported goods from Lingdingyang were unloaded at the wharf east of Huangpu Village. Zeng Qizhao, who came from Guangzhou City, left all the navy ships he was on at the West wharf, leaving only a few soldiers guarding the ships. He also ordered that these ships not be allowed to leave the wharf before he boarded the ship.
As a result, when the soldiers on the ship discovered that Zeng Qizhao had been killed and his hands and feet were captured alive, it was too late and there was no time to set sail. The young soldiers of Jinyi's personal army and the righteous people in Huangpu Village had already rushed onto the ten wooden boats and seized them all. The sailors of Qing army soldiers on the ship were either killed and captured or forced to dive into the water... But this is the Pearl River! The Jiangnan is wide and cool, and how can they swim from Huangpu Village to the north bank of the Pearl River without the nature of the sky?
Shang Zhixin, who was standing outside the Dragon King Temple on the north bank of the Pearl River, felt almost cold when he saw this scene, as if it was not someone else who fell into the water, but himself!
"I'm going against it, I'm going against it, I'm going against it..." Shang Zhixin's voice was trembling.
It would be enough to lose a Huangpu village alone. Now even Zeng Qizhao, the second ruthless man in Guangdong, has caught up with him, and more than a thousand elite soldiers and ten large ships on Huangpu Island have been lost after Zeng Qizhao.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that the people on Huangpu Village and the south bank of the Pearl River are all called rebellion, and they all joined the title of Zhu San Taisun... The Guangdong people outside Guangzhou are unreliable, so are the Guangdong people in Guangzhou reliable?
When Shang Zhixin was making things difficult for more than 100,000 residents in the outer city of Guangzhou, his fourth brother, Shang Zhijie, who was appointed as the deputy commander of the Pingnan Prince's Palace Banner Army, suddenly shouted: "No... Haizhu Island is in danger, and the rebels are heading to Haizhu Island on the boat on the west pier of Huangpu Village!"
Haizhu Island is located in the water of the Pearl River in the south of Guangzhou City. There is a large temple named Cidu Temple on the island. After Shang Kexi took down Guangzhou, he erected cannons on the wall of Cidu Temple, turning it into a water fortress protecting Guangzhou City.
But there are not many defenders in this fortress now, only a few dozen elderly gunners and less than a hundred old men's infantrymen.
According to Shang Zhixin's original plan, Zeng Qizhao's troops would retreat to Haizhu Island to defend after fighting Huangpu Village.
But unexpectedly, Zeng Qizhao, the second ruthless man in Guangdong, was gone after being beaten once. Who should I ask to guard Haizhu Island?
