Chapter 49 Heshen is here to ask for a monthly pass)
The sea breeze is gentle, and the carriages and horses are scattered.
Chaozhou Prefecture, located in the south of the world, is now the coolest and most comfortable season. Even in the broad daylight, it doesn’t feel hot when it is rushing to the sun. On the flat ground on both sides of the road, there are large areas of late rice that have matured and are waiting for harvest, and sugarcane fields that look like short-legged bamboo forests—all are good places for ambushing the road!
On the official road leading to Jieyang County from Chaozhou Prefecture City, a team of cavalry from unknown places were walking.
There are more than 300 cavalrymen in total, all of whom are cold hats and jackets. They also carry bows and arrows, long swords, and are arrogant. The first cavalry also holds a yellow dragon flag with red edges. People who have some knowledge of the Qing army system will immediately know their origin when they see the costumes of the cavalry and the yellow dragon flag inlaid with yellow dragon flags. They should be the eight banner soldiers who are said to be invincible in the legendary heavenly soldiers. Judging from the color of the flag, they should be a group of heavenly soldiers with yellow flags inlaid!
The Eight Banners soldiers were divided into two rows, protecting the seven mule and horse carts in the middle and walking slowly. Most of the seven mule and horse carts were used to carry luggage, and the boxes on them were piled up with big bags and small bags, and they were all tied tightly with hemp ropes. I don’t know what it was?
But there was a carriage located in the middle of the convoy. The horses pulled the carriage were fat and strong, and smooth. The driver sitting on the shaft of the carriage was also dressed as a flag soldier, sitting there straight and waving his whip proudly. You could tell at a glance that he was a trained coachman, and he could not be so arrogant whenever he hired on the street!
The knight who was walking around these two carriages looked very energetic. The most eye-catching one was a tall man riding a very majestic long-legged horse. The man also wore a yellow jacket that was dazzling enough in Guangdong!
In the Qing Dynasty, not anyone could wear the yellow jacket. It was only the imperial guards or the ministers and slaves who were asked by the emperor to wear it.
This burly man in a yellow jacket was neither an imperial guard nor a minister and slave in a yellow jacket issued an order by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty... but Zhu Hesheng, the grandson of Zhu San!
Zhu Hesheng is using a plan now!
He is not the brave but the wise and talented Zhu Hezhi, Zhu Hetong, who is more wise than Zhuge and talented. Facing the Beixi Bridge, which is heavily defended by Qing Yao, of course, he cannot attack with brute force alone. Instead, he must use tricks to attack!
And his smart way is to use makeup to attack!
On October 15th, he led his ranks Guo, Lao Hulin, and 300 elite soldiers selected from the Dananshan Rebel Army and the big boss Hui's personal soldiers to board a clutch and quietly leave Dahao. Then he took the sea route first, then entered the Han River, and went to the shore in the ocean south of Chaozhou Prefecture.
After they got ashore, they met with Daboling, who had arrived first. Daboling had prepared seven mule and horse carts, waiting for Zhu Hesheng and the others in an abandoned temple in Fuyangdu.
After the two sides successfully met, Zhu Hesheng put on a yellow jacket, pseudonym the third-class guard of the imperial front, Niu Hulu. Heshen, and rode a long-legged foreign horse borrowed from Qiu Hui. It looked like a Manchu heavenly soldier!
The three hundred elite soldiers who followed him also changed into a copycat hat and jacket, rode a short-legged Dian horse, brought high imitation Manchu bow, Guandong knife, and two grenade hammers on their belts, which was quite like that.
Then the group took the token of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion given to him by Yang Qilong, and went straight to Beixi Bridge in Jieyang County.
And the Beixi Bridge...of course, it is very cautious, no less than the tiger's den and dragon pond!
The one who was ordered to garrison here was Li Chenggong, the general of the Central Army under Liu Jinzhong, the general of Chao Town.
This Li Chenggong is not an ordinary Qing Yao, he is a native of Tieling!
Tieling!
That is Li Chengliang's hometown, and Li Chengliang and Li Chengliang are from the same clan. Li Chengliang is from the Cheng generation, and Li Chengliang is also from the Cheng generation. They are brothers from the same clan. Although Li Chengliang is the youngest among the generation, and is almost one hundred years apart from Li Chengliang, his generation is still the same generation.
And who is Li Chengliang? That is the Gan Ama of Nurhaci, the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty!
So Li Chenggong should be Nurhaci's uncle in terms of seniority... If we count on this seniority, Emperor Kangxi didn't know whether to kowtow or call him "Grandpa" when he saw him?
However, after Nurhaci became rich, he turned against his father, so Li Chenggong was not involved in any way.
When the Later Jin soldiers conquered Tieling, his father asked Nurhaci, the unfilial nephew, to be a coat slave of Zhengbai Banner.
Moreover, Dad Li's servant was a servant for a lifetime, and it was not until Li Chenggong's generation that he turned around and made a comeback and passed the Wu Jinshi.
Because Li Chenggong was an old Baoyi from Tieling and a "noble relative" of the Aisin Jueluo family. So after he became a Wu Jinshi, his career was relatively smooth. He first became a guard, and later he was sent to the Chaozhou Liu Jinzhong army to become a central general... Nominally, he was a subordinate of Liu Jinzhong, but in fact he was sent to see Liu Jinzhong.
Liu Jinzhong also knew that Li Chenggong was the "noble relative" of Emperor Kangxi, so he had been coaxing him. In recent years, he had given him many opportunities to make contributions, so he hoped that he could make contributions and be promoted as soon as possible.
But this guy is not very lucky and can't seize the opportunity. He is honest and doesn't know how to falsely report his achievements or kill good people, so he never ends up taking any part in the competition!
However, this time Liu Jinzhong was quite confident... He led eight battalions to the Jieyang County to ambush the city.
Fengmingshan, the dog official who was in charge of Chaozhou Prefecture, who turned Zhu Qipao into Zhu San's grandson Zhu Hezhi, also led up to 1,500 civilian regiments to help the battle.
The imperial envoy Mi Sihan also transferred four red cannons to him - they were all old cannons cast by Xiong Wencan when he was Prime Minister of Guangdong and Guangxi Military Affairs and Guangdong Governor. It was so durable!
In addition, the imperial envoy Mi Sihan also mobilized the 800 flag soldiers from Xushun Gong’s Mansion to place them in Puning County, not far from Jieyang County, and were equipped with war horses... As long as Jieyang County fights, Deng Guangming and Zhang Mengji will immediately lead the 800 flags to kill!
Yan Ziming and Zhang Haiyang also led 5,000 governors and model soldiers to guard the Guiyu Capital, and they would also come to help as soon as possible.
So no matter how hard you lose this battle!
Since he couldn't lose, Liu Jinzhong handed over the important task of guarding Beixi Bridge to Li Chenggong. He also allocated Li Chenggong a thousand Green Camp soldiers and 500 Regiment Ding, and gave him two red cannons.
How can one thousand five hundred people and two cannons be held?
As long as you keep it, you can blow it, and you can blow it away no matter how hard it is.
This time, Li Chenggong also became interested and used all his thoughts to formulate a defensive strategy. He divided the 1,500 people in his hand into three parts, and 500 Green Camp soldiers set foot in the north of Beixi Bridge and guarded the bridgehead.
Five hundred Green Camp soldiers set foot down the village on the south side of Beixi Bridge, and also guarded the bridgehead.
There were also five hundred Minzhuang and his team arranged the bridge deck and also managed dozens of fireboats.
The two cannons were placed in Nanzhai and Beizhai, both facing the surface of the North River in Rongjiang.
As for Li Chenggong himself, he was in the Beizhai camp. While waiting for Qiu Hui's navy to die in high spirits, he asked his nephew and personal soldiers to take Li Rucai, the general, to set up a checkpoint on the official road north of Beixi Bridge to collect money - greed or greedy!
Although Li Chenggong is an honest man, he will not falsely report his military achievements, nor will he kill good people and take credit, he will still be able to embezzle and accept bribes. Even if he is not greedy, his nephew, who is twenty years older than him, has been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years and is nicknamed Li Nucai, who is nicknamed Li Nucai, will teach him how to be greedy!
