Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 167: Offense and defense (6)

On the banner of Zhenfan, Zhou Shixiang could see clearly that the embroidered on the banner was a golden dragon, but when Duke Xiang of Song next to him saw it, he said that it was not a dragon, but a python. The so-called five-clawed dragon and four-clawed python, Shang Kexi, as a Han vassal king in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, naturally dare not use the bright yellow five-clawed dragon as his robe, if he really uses the five-clawed dragon as his flag, then he will be the emperor himself. The state soldiers didn't come to fight Yongli, but came to fight him, the king of the Yueyue domain.

Under the banner of the Dragon Town, the four-claw group, the King of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, was surrounded by hundreds of palace guards. These palace guards were all veterans of Liaodong. . The cotton armor was inlaid with iron pieces on the thick cotton and fixed by copper nails, which looked like a cotton coat. Guangdong Province is at a high temperature at this time. These royal guards dressed like this are really suffering, but if you look closely, except for the Han water on the forehead, none of the guards are uncomfortable, and none of them are impatient. They should be elites in a hundred battles. Just like that.

Shang Kexi was wearing gold and entered the Han army with a blue flag, so the flag-colored clothes in the army were all inlaid blue. Scattered battalion green flags are inlaid around, and the flags are fluttering, so majestic. The seat of the King of Pingnan is also a good Mongolian horse, with a black body and white hooves, which is much more conceited than the white cloud of the prince Shang Zhixin.

Along with Shang Kexi, in addition to the guards of the palace, there were more than a dozen generals and officers under the command of King Pingnan, including Dutong, Deputy Dutong, Xietong, Han army chief officers, and deputy generals, each standing on both sides. Press the saber, hold your chest high.

The Governor-General of Guangdong also sent staff, but it was Hu Guoli, a general who led the example of the Governor's Yamen. This time, King Pingnan personally led his troops to expedition, and Li Ruitai rarely dispatched his pacesetters. Although there were only 600 people, they were the essence of the Guangdong Green Camp.

Hu Guoli is also a strong general. He was born as a pirate. He was a pirate abroad during the Chongzhen period of the previous dynasty. When Hongguang was recruited by the Ming Dynasty government in Guangdong, he became an official army. After Li Chengdong led the Qing army to break Guangzhou, he led his troops to surrender. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Li Chengdong returned to Ming Dynasty anyway, but Hu Guoli did not follow him. Instead, he led his troops to abandon his officials and threw himself into the sea to watch the situation. When Li Chengdong was defeated and the Qing army re-entered Guangdong, he, a Qing general who did not "follow thieves", was naturally reused. However, his pirate status is not in the eyes of the two princes, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, but the new governor Li Suitai has a good eye on him. Under the deliberate promotion, he is now a 3-rank sergeant, directly leading the supervising pacesetter, in Guangdong. Green Camp already has a foothold.

The Governor's Mansion has sent pacesetters, and Jingnan King Geng Jimao has no reason not to go out and help. Xinhui is the gateway to Guangzhou, and its gains and losses are directly related to the overall situation of Guangdong. Otherwise, Li Dingguo would not have attacked this place for a long time with tens of thousands of troops last year. In the final analysis, a new meeting cannot be lost. Although Geng Jimao is young, he has grown up in the army since he was a child and is no stranger to military affairs. Therefore, when the news of Xinhui's fall came, he couldn't sit still and went to Pingnan Palace in person to see Shang Kexi at the worship of the younger generation. In the end, Shang Kexi used the honor of King Pingnan to fight in person. Although Geng Jimao was based in Guangzhou, the palace of Jingnan still selected a team of soldiers for King Pingnan to dispatch.

Geng Jimao adjusted the number of soldiers in this team to be smaller than Li Suitai's pacesetters, only 500 people, but they were all authentic elites of the Han army of the Zhenghuang Banner. The leader of the Jingnan palace is Geng Zhongde, the cousin of Geng Jimao's father Geng Zhongming, and the king of Hepingnan, Shang Kexi, who is also an old acquaintance. When he was in the Dongjiang River, the monk Kexi once fished and eaten in a pot.

Geng Jimao is young and vigorous, but Geng Zhongde is mature and prudent. Although he has the pride of my Geng family who is also a vassal king~www.NovelMTL.com~, he still respects Shang Kexi, an old acquaintance. This respect is not so much respect for King Pingnan as it is for Shang Kexi, who can fight wars. After all, since the death of Geng Zhongming, the Geng family who can lead the army on their own has basically withered away. It is this prince, if not The queen mother in Bauhinia City only let the emperor speak for the sake of the late emperor and the deceased Dorgon, otherwise the throne of the Geng family would have disappeared eight shots earlier.

Leading an army to fight is not a child's play, and it is a major event related to the overall situation of Guangdong. Geng Zhongde knew that his talents were limited, so he consciously led the five hundred bannermen under his command to obey the orders of King Pingnan without complaining.

When Shang Kexi was on the road, he already knew that Bao Shizi was sending troops to attack Xinhui. He didn't interfere too much. First, he wanted his son to be able to personally command the battle, accumulate some experience, and establish the authority of the Prince of Pingnan. Come; secondly, I want to see the strength of the Taiping Army in Xinhui City.

After arriving at the barracks, the man had not dismounted, but he heard the order to withdraw troops. Shang Kexi took a glimpse, picked up the mirror and looked at Xinhui City. The green camp that was attacking the city in the mirror was retreating in embarrassment. The Taiping army above is cheering.

Upon seeing this, Shang Kexi was furious, his heart was angered, his face was black as charcoal, he hated to put down the telephoto lens, and without turning his head, he sent an order to the guards: "Blow the trumpet, call the soldiers of this family to press up, and make a new vow today. Yes!" (To be continued...)
