Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The Anqing Water Camp was established in the fourth year of Shunzhi, and played a great role in suppressing the Jin and Wang rebellions in Jiangxi. The current commander of the water battalion is Cao Jukui from Gaoyou, Yangzhou, with nearly 200 ships of various sizes and more than 3,600 sailors. In addition to Shuiying, Anqing City has a green battalion from Nanyang, Henan, with a number of about 3,000 people, led by Wang Meng, the chief soldier of Nanyang. In addition, there are 200 Manchurian armored soldiers under Gushan Echenba Bushdayu.

Wang Meng was originally the deputy general of Zhang Chao, the chief soldier of Nanyang. Zhang Chao accompanied Prince Jian to the south to conquer Guangdong and surrendered to the Taiping Army. He is now the Brigade School of the seventh town of the Taiping Army. From the town general to the brigade school, battalion officer, and Weiwei, from top to bottom, officers and soldiers in this seventh town are almost all from the green battalion of the Qing army, so they are called "green hat town" by other towns. .

When the news of the fall of Nanjing came, Babushdayu panicked. This man was the grand-nephew of Emperor Taizu's founding five ministers, Wenshun Gong He Heli. After the Qing army entered the customs, Babushdayu only went to Datong with the British Prince Azig, and he never brought any troops. This time Yue Le brought him because his sister Wu Lianghai was Yue Le's side Fujin.

All the troops in Anqing were no more than 6,000 people, so Baboushdayu naturally couldn't afford to lead his troops to recover Nanjing, but he didn't know whether he should continue to stay in Anqing or leave this dangerous place quickly.

No matter how incompetent Baboushdayu was, he knew that Anqing was a place to be captured by the Yangtze River. At present, Nanjing in the lower reaches was lost, and Jiangxi in the upper reaches was also occupied by the Taiping army. It would not be long before the Taiping army would attack Anqing. At that time, he may not be able to go even if he wants to.

Fortunately, just when Babusdayu was lying in Anqing, the Guangdong Admiral Tang Sanshui and the Jiujiang commander Chen Yuan retreated from Ruichang in the west of Jiujiang. There were more than 70 boats with them. More than 3000 soldiers.

Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan still didn't know about the great changes in Nanjing, and when Babusdayu told them the news, the former burst into tears on the spot, while the latter turned pale with fright.

After crying bitterly, Tang Sanshui knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Babushdayu, asking Eezhen to lead them to recover Nanjing, rescue Prince An, and kowtowed until his forehead was bleeding.

Baboushdayu felt Tang Sanshui's loyalty and was very sorry. Cao Jukui, Wang Meng, and Chen Yuan were worried that they were going to die, lest they be really hot and would take them to Nanjing to die. Fortunately, Mr. Ezhen is very rational. After praising and comforting the Admiral of Guangdong, he euphemistically said that the significance of defending Anqing is more important than retaking Nanjing. He also said that the emperor has already arrived with a large army, and it will not be long before the troops will come to the Yangtze River, and there will definitely be a time when they will show their lives.

After Tang Sanshui heard it, he looked unwilling, but in the end he sighed deeply, expressing that he would obey Eezhen's orders. But as long as Eezhen gives an order, he, Tang Sanshui and the three thousand disciples he brought from Guangdong will go through fire and water for Da Qing!

Chen Yuan also bite the bullet, his head is still hanging. Jiujiang was his defense zone, but he fled without fighting. If Tang Sanshui hadn't persuaded him, he would have fled in disguise and went incognito. But even if he has a heart to atone for his sins, he is very worried that the court will still bring justice to him after knowing that he is in Anqing.

Until now, Chen Yuan couldn't understand how Tang Sanshui could come to Anqing with such peace of mind. Speaking of which, he, the Guangdong Admiral, is more guilty than himself!

Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out, he could only guess whether Tang Sanshui had a strong backing in the court, or else this person wouldn't be so strong.

The more than 3,000 soldiers brought by Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan undoubtedly strengthened the strength of the Anqing defenders, making Babusdayu dispel the idea of ​​giving up Anqing, and instead decided to stick to it. He ordered the East City to be vacated to accommodate the Guangdong soldiers brought by Tang Sanshui, and he also opened the Anqing government treasury, and rewarded each of the Guangdong soldiers with 5 taels of silver to encourage them to continue to serve the Qing Dynasty. As for Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan, Babushdayu held a banquet at the government office that night, and asked several famous brothel women from Anqing to sit with them. The banquet was toasting wine and rewarding silver, and they wanted to bail the two of them to the court. Tang and Chen were moved to the point that they had to be a bull and a horse for Babushdayu.

One good news after another, Tang Sanshui and the others just arrived, and another Qing army arrived in Anqing, but it was ordered by Prince An, Yue Le, to go to Wuhu to chase down the Zhejiang bandits.

When Jin Lian entered the city, he was very embarrassed. When he set out from Nanjing, Yue Le allocated him 5,000 soldiers, but there were only 500 people left.

Baboushdayu thought that Jinli was attacked by the Taiping army, but he didn't want Jinli but smiled bitterly and said that he had never met the Taiping army at all. This made Babushda Yu wonder how Jinli's loss was so great without encountering the Taiping Army.

At the wine table, Jin Li told Babushdayu the truth. It turned out that after he led his army to Wuhu to defeat the air, he chased the Zhejiang bandits all the way westward, and won a lot of money, beheading thousands of Zhejiang bandits, and the rest of the Zhejiang bandits fled. But just when Jin Li was in high spirits and commanded all the ministries to wipe out all the Zhejiang pirates~www.NovelMTL.com~ came the news that Nanjing was lost. That night, Bao Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Hebei, ran away with his troops, saying that he was heading for Nanjing, not to mention that he was destined to surrender to the Ming army.

Wang Yizheng, the chief soldier of Shandong, and Liang Jiaqi, the chief soldier of Fu and Suppression, were still benevolent and righteous. They waited for two more days to confirm that Nanjing was really lost. Prince An Yuele and the governor of Liangjiang Lang Tingzuo were also captured. Return to Ming. But he was still kind, he didn't attack Jinli, he just monitored him. Come to think of it, once the two get in touch with the Taiping Army, it will be time for them to turn their faces and accept their names.

The Jinli headquarters only had 600 armored Han troops brought from Fujian. At this time, all the cities and towns in Wuhu and Ningguo knew the news that Nanjing had been recovered by the Ming army. military. It can be said that Jin Li's 600 Han troops have been surrounded by the Ming army, and it is difficult for him to do anything.

Tuhai suggested that Jinli immediately withdraw to western Zhejiang and join up with Tong Guoqi, governor of Zhejiang. This way, it is better to join forces to advance, or retreat to Hangzhou, which can always contain the Ming army. In the future, after the emperor's army crosses the river to retake Nanjing, the crime of defeating the army will always be worth the merits and demerits.

However, Jin Li shook his head and refused to go to Zhejiang. He thought that if Nanjing was lost, Fujian and Zhejiang would be under the Taiping Army's front, and there were Zheng Army along the coast, so going to Zhejiang would be a dead place. The smart way is to cross the river north immediately, or go to Yangzhou, or go to Anqing.

Tuhai is only a person under his banner who treats sins, so he can't be the master of Jinli. Immediately, Jin Li led the Han army back to Wuhu, grabbed dozens of boats from Dangtu Shui Shi, who had already returned to Ming Dynasty, and crossed the Yangtze River. Originally, Jin Li was going to go to Yangzhou in the lower reaches, but on the way, he was attacked by a group of Mongolian soldiers pretending to be thieves, and more than 100 people were lost. Hearing that there are many thieves activities ahead, Jin Li was worried that he would not be able to support Yangzhou, so he turned to Anqing. After walking on the road for four days, after four days of trepidation, I finally saw the city wall of Anqing. (To be continued.)
