Shang Kexi looked back at Mi Sihan, "Master Mi, look at this..."
Now Mi Sihan is the imperial minister in charge of the military affairs of suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Fujian provinces! Shang Kexi is happy that King Pingnan just has more soldiers in his hands.
Mi Sihan knitted his brows and nodded: "The Second Young Master and Military Advisor Jin are right... The Emperor also said in his imperial message that we must capture the Third Prince Zhu! As long as we can win, it will be considered a great achievement for us!"
Kangxi did not say that he could exchange the city of Guangzhou for Prince Zhu. The price was too high no matter how you looked at it!
However, Shang Kexi still breathed a sigh of relief, "The Emperor is really a wise man!"
Mi Sihan added: "Moreover, the emperor also said in the court letter that the subordinate officer is responsible for supervising the military affairs of Guangdong and Fujian provinces. He not only controls the soldiers in Guangdong, but also manages the soldiers in Fujian! If there are not enough soldiers in Guangdong, there are also soldiers in Fujian. Soldiers are available!”
"But over there in Fujian..." Shang Kexi frowned deeply. He didn't understand what Mi Sihan meant. This Mi Sihan wanted to run away!
We can't let him go, otherwise if Guangzhou is really lost, he will be solely responsible for it!
Mi Sihan didn't know what Shang Kexi was thinking, so he hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will personally go to Fujian to supervise the troops! I don't believe it. I am an imperial minister who arrived in Zhangzhou. Geng Jingzhong, Zhao Desheng, Huang Wu and the others dare not send troops!
In addition, Xiaguan can also join forces with the red-haired ghost! "
"Join forces with the red-haired ghost?" Shang Kexi was stunned, "Is this really feasible? The government won't..."
"No, absolutely not!" Mi Sihan waved his hand, "The emperor is wise, he knows who is the most serious problem of our Qing Dynasty! Besides, what the red-haired ghost wants is just trade in Hong Kong. Is there anything he can't agree to? ? At worst, we can learn from Japan and build a Nagasaki port."
Hearing what he said, Shang Kexi already understood that Kangxi had given instructions to unite the Dutch Red Mao Yi in the imperial mail to Mi Sihan. Otherwise, Mi Sihan would not dare to do this even if he had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
Shang Kexi then asked Mi Sihan: "What about Guangdong..."
Mi Sihan stood up immediately after hearing his question, and the expression on his face became extremely serious. At the same time, he took out a yellow-covered folder from the inner pocket of his sleeve, and then said loudly: "King Pingnan It’s a pleasure to accept the order!”
Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, stood up, walked to Mi Sihan, lifted his robe, knelt down, and said loudly: "My slave Shang Kexi congratulates you for receiving the imperial edict!"
Mi Sihan did not read the imperial edict aloud in front of everyone, but handed the document directly to Shang Kexi and let Shang Kexi read it by himself.
The reason why he did this was because this edict was a court message, also called a letter edict or a letter edict. It was a secret edict. Only designated people can see it, others are not eligible to see it.
Shang Kexi took the decree, knelt on the ground and read it respectfully, then exhaled, his old face finally showed a happy look, and then he was helped up by his two sons, and then he turned around, smiled and said to everyone: "By the grace of the Emperor!" At this point, he bowed his hands to the void very respectfully, "This king will take charge of the military affairs of Guangdong Province after Mr. Mi goes to Fujian to supervise the army... Of course, there will be more to go up. Master Mi is restrained!"
This attitude is really encouraging. Even if Emperor Kangxi gives him a imperial letter to control the military affairs of Guangdong Province, he still has to highlight Mi Sihan's status... If he really kills Prince Zhu San , the biggest credit belongs to Mi Sihan, of course.
Of course, Mi Sihan was extremely satisfied with Shang Kexi's attitude, so he smiled and said to Shang Kexi: "Your Majesty, I need a light carriage to rush to Fujian this time, so I can't take all of my imperial envoys and military guards with me." Now. Wu champion!"
When Wu Sanwei, who looked like a fierce Zhang Fei, heard Mi Sihan calling him, he jumped out suddenly and shouted: "The general is here!"
Mi Sihan once again shocked this guy who likes to be surprised. This guy is really unpleasant! He's ugly, speaks loudly, doesn't know how to flatter you, and stares at you with his big eyes at every turn.
But Mi Sihan had nothing to do with him. He is the "Sai Zhang Fei" who is personally called "Zhang Fei". Isn't that what Zhang Fei is? If Mi Sihan has an opinion, he is questioning the emperor's words!
But he didn't want to keep this vulgar man by his side, and it was impossible for him to go to Fujian with thousands of "Green Uncle" soldiers from the north. It would be too slow to lead them, so it would be better to take only three or four hundred riders, with light carriages and simple followers, and go to Yanling Pass to meet up with Deng Zhong who was digging a corner of Xushun Gongfu there, and then rush into Fujian.
Deng Zhong went to Chaozhou on the orders of Kangxi to recruit some Xushun Gongfu banner troops who knew Hokkien and Chaozhou dialect, and went to Fujian to help Shi Lang. Before he left Beijing, he also received an oral instruction from Emperor Kangxi, asking him to obey Mi Sihan's control. Kangxi also told Mi Sihan about this in his imperial mail.
So Mi Sihan just took this opportunity to keep Zhang Fei in Guangdong to "make meritorious service".
"Wu Zhuangyuan," Mi Sihan smiled and said to Wu Sanwei, "you have been nagging me to make contributions to the court, and now the opportunity has come! You will stay on the Chaozhou front line and lead the alliance I left behind. Guard the army, follow King Pingnan to suppress the bandits and perform meritorious service!"
Wu Sanwei was a martial arts champion. After high school, he got a first-class bodyguard on the same level as Kong Sizhen, a third-level military position. If he could flatter people, he would have become a general soldier by now.
So now he not only has no way to stay with the leader, but he doesn't even have the attitude of being reluctant to leave. He bowed carelessly and said: "General, I will obey the order!" Then he handed over to Shang Kexi and said with a silly smile: "Your Majesty. , let’s give the last general a head start!”
Seeing his attitude, Shang Kexi was also a little bit dumbfounded. Why did these two hundred and fifty look a bit like the Manchurian Heavenly Soldiers from twenty or thirty years ago?
However, Shang Kexi still wanted to encourage this number 250, nodded and said: "Well done, you will definitely be the first in this battle!"
Wu Sanwei was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for using me!"
Shang Kexi then turned his attention to his second son Shang Zhixiao: "Second brother, since you advocate an all-out attack, then you must be the leader of the front team!"
"Amma, my child is willing to join the front army!" Shang Zhixiao also loudly accepted the order.
"Your Majesty," Shang Kexi's military advisor Jin Guang also stood up at this time, "that Zhuge Yao Dao has many tricks and tricks. The second prince is still young and might be deceived by him. The old minister is willing to send troops with the second prince."
"This couldn't be better!" Shang Ke nodded happily, "Second brother, Wu Zhuangyuan, military advisor, I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers to go forward as the front line of the three armies!"
Shang Kexi's previous plan was to move forward step by step - this was the strategy Hong Chengchou used at the beginning when he fought the Battle of Songjin, building the camp first and then moving people. Every day, people were sent out of the Mianhuzhai camp to repair the camp ten miles away. The construction lasted for ten and a half months. After the new camp was repaired, the whole army moved there together, and then the next camp was built. It is a total of sixty or seventy miles from Mianhu Village to Jieyang County, and it is enough to build six camps. Even if one camp takes half a month to repair, six camps will only last three months.
Three months later, the army was forced to Jieyang City!
At that time, Shang Kexi will be able to destroy the outside of Jieyang Island into a white field even if he does not take the initiative to attack the city and sends out a small team of cavalry to cause destruction around Jieyang Island every day.
Can a small Jieyang island still persist?
As for the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu who sent troops to attack and so on, Shang Ke was happy and not worried. They were just retreating steadily. He advances step by step, so even if he retreats, he can resist step by step. Even if each large camp can only consume 500 people from the opponent, six large camps can consume 3,000 people from the opponent.
How many three thousand people can there be on Jieyang Island now?
If Zhu Heji had not respected martial ethics and did not abide by international rules based on strength, surrendered and seized Macau, opening the door to Guangzhou, this strategy would have been commendable. Even if Zhu Heji had sweet gunpowder and Molotov cocktails, it would not have been possible. Hard to win.
But even if this steady situation is broken by Zhu Heji, Shang Kexi is not that easy to deal with!
He said calmly to Shang Zhixiao, Wu Sanwei, and Jin Guang: "Although I will be divided into three groups: front, middle, and rear this time, the distance between these three groups cannot exceed five miles. In fact, it is still all the way. Divide into three teams, just to facilitate the march and to expand when encountering the enemy. Therefore, the three of you must not advance rashly or be tempted by the enemy. If you encounter an enemy's small team, just drive it away. If you encounter a large group, set up a stronghold. Get down to camp, hold on to the spot, and wait for the entire army to arrive!"
