Chapter 234 The hall jumps into the river in the picture!
It was late at night and it was getting hot.
Fires were pouring into the sky on the water of the Xijiang River outside Qingqi, as if everything floating on the water was burning, and even the water was burning.
The fire also spread from the water to the land. The Qingqiyong Water Village, which stood on the east bank of Qingqiyong and the north bank of the Xijiang River, was also burned to a sea of fire.
And the Qing Dynasty soldiers were defeated again!
Late at night after Tuhai lost the land war on Guichengdu, a fire on the surface of the Xijiang River ruined the Xijiang Naval Division, which was not very powerful in the Qing army. This was the second time that Shi Lang, a naval general, was defeated by Kangxi!
But like last time, General Shi Lang still doesn’t have to be responsible for the defeat. “The defeat is the mother of success”!
And Wu Sangui took the blame for the failure this time alone!
Once Wu Sangui rebelled, Hunan would lose. In addition, Tuhai had already suffered a crushing defeat in Guicheng before, Guangdong would also lose, and the waterway to Guangxi was blocked by Zhu Hetong. The Xijiang Navy had no way to escape, and it was inevitable that it would be destroyed.
Therefore, Shi Lang's Xijiang Navy is meaningless, and his next battlefield is probably the Yangtze River.
Besides, how many days has the Xijiang Navy been opened? How could it be that the Ming army navy, which has "pirate foundation"? Although Zhu Hetian's navy has not been opened for a long time, they now occupy the two "pirate nests" of Chaozhou and Guangzhou. The father-in-law is Hui Qiu Hui, the current "pirate king" boss of Chaozhou. His former son was the last one-pirate king of Chaozhou, Susuli, and Zheng Sandai Zheng Jing and Lei, Qiong and Lian's three-man government One Piece Chen Shangchuan as allies, and also controls the small international trade city of Macau and the international trade village Huangpu Village. It really requires ships and people, and people can be used to recruit armed civilian ships to participate in the war.
Now, most of the ship sailors in the hands of Su Zhanshan and Yu Xiaoqian, the two naval commanders, were temporarily summoned. However, these temporary sailors and ships were better than Shi Lang's Xijiang Navy to defeat them than the landlady navy in Guangdong. How could they smuggle?
Besides, there is also a military advisor Zhuge who "knows the best of fire attack" on the Ming army's navy!
Although this military advisor Zhuge may not be able to fight water, they will set fire! He directly transferred ten "Sky Fire Ships" and threw the "cocktail-type hot turbulent oil" prepared by Zhu Hetong onto the head of the Qing army fleet. Even if the boat cannot be smashed, after the "oil cylinder" cracked on the water surface, the hot turbulent oil inside could float on the water surface and burn it. It would be difficult for the people on the boat to dive and escape!
If the "oil cylinder" just hits the Qing army warship, then the ship is over. The "cocktail" prepared by Zhu Hetian is sticky and it is sticky and burns!
However, Shi Lang was still smart and saw the Ming army's sky fire in Fujian. He knew that the thing was powerful, and even the Dutch's "speedboat" was affected.
So when he saw the other party getting on the sky fire, he immediately knew that it would not work. So he made a quick decision and took a group of old brothers Hu Jian to abandon the boat and even wanted to burn the water camp!
Anyway, if he doesn't burn it, he will be captured by the Ming army. As long as he keeps his old brothers, he will not be afraid that there will be no admiral of the Yangtze River Navy.
Now Emperor Kangxi has no navy talents, and he, Shi Lang, has the experience of "fighting repeatedly after repeated defeats"!
Moreover, Shi Lang did not get nothing during this trip to Guangdong. He had a sugar powder rocket without explosions.
That was picked up in the Qing army camp in Guicheng Capital last night. At that time, two were picked up, all of which were under Deng Zhong's custody. Deng Zhong was worried that he might have an accident, so he asked someone to give one to Shi Lang.
In this way, as long as one of them is safe and sound, he can send this "magic weapon" to Beijing for the emperor and Zhang Zhenren to study it carefully.
Because he saved his old brother, he picked up another life-saving magic weapon, and he also expected that he would be highly valued after Wu Sangui sent troops to Huguang.
So Shi Lang was in a good mood while running away, but he was almost humming a little song.
However, his happy escape did not last long. When the day was bright, he met the brigade of defeated soldiers who escaped from the west of Qingqiyong on the east bank of Qingqiyong near Suijiang.
These people were a little embarrassed when they were defeated. They all lost their armor and were in a mess, and they all became frightened birds.
As long as you hear the harsh sound of "hehehehehehehe" in the air, you will panic, become a mess, and escape.
On the other side of Qingqiyong, there were also Ming army pursuers holding torches. The number of people was unclear, but the number of torches must be quite large, and they were densely packed. The pursuers also set up turtledove-footed muskets from time to time and fired a row of guns on the east bank of Qingqiyong.
Although there will not be much casualties, every time the gunshots are fired, the Qing army on the east bank of the river will panic.
Weapons, armor, luggage, etc. have been thrown everywhere. Some soldiers and generals who don’t know whether they are injured or too tired and cannot walk are sitting on the side of the road crying loudly and listen to their accents. They should be from northerners, and most of them don’t know how to speak Cantonese. They want to cut their braids and pretend that they are ordinary people. They have no chance to be captured by the Ming army. If they don’t beheaded, they have to go to work hard labor!
However, Shi Lang would not worry about the life or death of these gangsters. The only thing he cares about now is Tuhai Tu Zhongtang.
That is the chief grand clerk who is deeply trusted by Emperor Kangxi! Even if he suffers a defeat, with Wu Sangui helping him take the blame, at most he will be dismissed and remained. Moreover, with Wu Sangui's army, Emperor Kangxi also needs a capable and reliable important minister to guard the Yangtze River. This Tuhai is the only choice!
For Shi Lang, the more important thing is that Tu Hai has been having a good time with him these days. What if someone else’s boss is not easy to get along with?
So Shi Lang, who found that Tuhai was defeated a little badly, was a little anxious and hurriedly led his subordinates to search for him. While searching for him, he shouted with his subordinates in Minnan Mandarin: "Master Tu, where are you?"
As a result, they shouted all the way until dawn, and the group ran to the Sui River, which was filled with defeated Qing troops. They didn't look for Tuhai, but instead met Sun Yanling who was about to collapse.
Sun Yanling was on the banks of Suijiang under a group of guards from Goshha. He thought he had no boat and could not swim. He was jumping and scolding him!
"Who is so fucking unethical? He won't drive the boat back. Fuck you, this is not a way out! Princess, I'm going to die, how can you live?"
When Shi Lang heard Sun Yanling's scolding, he understood why so many people were blocked on the banks of Suijiang. It turned out that someone left him on the banks of Suijiang in case of emergency, all the more than ten wooden boats that drove to the other side, and then abandoned the boat and landed on the shore and ran away.
But that doesn't matter. Isn't the problem with the old brothers from southern Fujian under Shi Lang, all of whom are priests from their ancestors? Can they be blocked by a small river?
So Shi Lang quickly found Sun Yanling who was jumping and cursing, and asked, "General Dingnan, do you know where Lord Tu is? Lord Tu has not died for his country, right?"
When Sun Yanling saw Shi Lang and his old Fujian pirates, he knew that they were saved. He looked surprised. He quickly stepped forward and held Shi Lang's big hands full of calluses. "Shi Junmen, I saw you so good. The boats are on the other side. Lord Tu, Deputy General Sun, and Ma Junmen are blocked on the south bank of Suijiang!"
Shi Lang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if Lord Tu is still there, but Lord Tu is still there, it's okay if the boat is on the other side. I'll send someone to swim over and drive the boat back!"
Hearing Shi Lang's words, Sun Yanling was so happy that he cried and shouted: "Sir Tu, Master Tu, there is a way out. People from Shi Junmen can all be water and can swim across Suijiang."
Sun Yanling was crying and pulled Shi Lang and ran to the bank of Suijiang. However, before he could reach the water, he heard a clamor in front of him.
"Not good! Tu Zhongtang jumped into the river!"
"Save people quickly, Tu Zhongtang jumped into the river"
