After hearing this, Ce realized that Wang Kun was really loyal to the Emperor of Heaven and respected those who were loyal. He did not go to the storage area to the south. Instead, he took them to the west and stopped at the door of a large wooden house. This was originally Deng Aqi's wooden house. Deng Aqi was very lively and liked to live in tents with soldiers, so this house became vacant.
Wang Kun and his party have nothing but the royal majesty they represent, and the most important thing is ostentation. Seeing that this wooden house is quite spacious and can be regarded as a decent house in the camp, the faces of the group of people gradually look better. Wang Kun blinked in front of the house, thought for a while and said in a deep voice,
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the 600,000 taels have already arrived in Zhaoqing. We estimate that it will only be in the next few days. I'm afraid Xiong Luzhou will deliver it to you."
Lu Ce smiled and said, "That's good."
Seeing Wang Kun¡¯s appearance, Lu Ce did not restrict the activities of this group of people. As long as it did not affect military activities, he only allowed them to visit and wander in the army. The modern military structure of the Pioneer Battalion, the literacy night classes held every night, and the high-spirited spirit all amazed the military supervisor. Of course, what caught his attention the most were the muskets and cannons.
"weapons are even more amazing. Although I have a bird cymbal, compared to the '29-type rifle', it is as straight as a toy ear. This gun can shoot people at 400 paces, and can penetrate poplars at 300 paces. It is not hindered by wind or rain." .The gun weighs no more than nine pounds"
"This cannon is small and light. It can be dragged by four horses and travel hundreds of miles a day. It can shoot four or five miles, and it will be destroyed within two steps of landing! The Tatar cannon is strong, but this cannon is far stronger than the Tatar cannon." If you can get ten gates, then the capital will be safe and fearless. If you get fifty gates, Tartar will be conquered"
After Wang Kun arrived at Xianying, he kept patrolling and writing reports every day. Lu Ce only didn't allow the soldiers to put their weapons in his hands and let him look at him as he pleased, and didn't bother to care about him.
After waiting for another three days, Xiong Wencan finally delivered a hundred boxes, totaling 600,000 taels of silver. Since Xiong Wencan boarded the Nanhai Kingdom's pirate ship, promotion and wealth were not a problem. Now that the Holy Grace has favored him and he has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, he just feels that the eternal achievement of "recovering the southwest" will be smashed on his head, so he is even more determined and Pang. Ning and Lu Ce are a nest of snakes and rats.
He did it with great fanfare, lest people didn't know that Lu Ce, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, was the one who recruited him.
The mighty team together with Yinzi were not only the sergeants from the Beijing camp who came from afar. There was even more playing of the drums and gongs. There are even some officials from Guangdong and Guangxi who sense that the trend is changing. He also came with the governors of the three provinces. On the official road from Leizhou to Lianzhou. There was an endless stream of small official sedan chairs decorated with flowers. It was so lively that it felt like a festival.
?? Qian Wencan, the Prince of Hell in the Nanhai Kingdom, dare not float away. The 600,000 yuan and one tael shipped are quite a lot. Half of the 600,000 liang is Pang Ning land. But for this grand "Recruitment Conference". Pang Ning could not participate due to his status as a "registered rebel". He took Fuses and Li to drink in the tent.
Lu Ce had a good attitude after receiving the money. He entertained the officials of the Ming Dynasty with enthusiasm. If someone is soft-spoken, others will be soft-handed. On October 24, the Allied Forces of the South China Sea State of Yinzi moved north again. The horn of attack was blown again.
The Pioneer Battalion and the "Marine Corps" were divided into three groups: Lu Ce led the "Xiong Zi Banner" and "Wei Zi Banner" to attack "Lingshan County" in the north; Pang Ning led the Pohai Battalion and a bunch of cannons from the Navy to slowly attack Walk. Go get "Yulin State" in the north and west. Zhao Yuan divided "Shan Zi Banner", "Hu Zi Banner" and "Zi Si" to attack "Rong County" in the northwest.
at this time. The local soldiers in Guangxi are gathering more and more. The number of soldiers and horses following Sha Dingzhou's orders even exceeded one hundred thousand.
Lost the dragon in the field behind the stone screen soldiers. Sha Dingzhou gathered the main force near Nanning Mansion. While constantly deploying troops and generals. Prepare to counterattack the Nanhai people with absolute advantage. However, his tusi management is complicated. The mountain road from Yunnan-Guizhou to Guangxi is not easy to walk. The troops have not yet been assembled. So he hasn't started attacking yet.
Although his military strength is not enough to attack the Nanhai people, he does not think that the 10,000 Nanhai people have the strength to attack him.
The three places Lu Ce attacked this time were all in the "Xunyu Plain" on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi. This plain is an important production area in eastern Guangxi, some distance away from Nanning Prefecture. Shadingzhou has 30,000 troops stationed in this area. If the two cities Pang Ning and Zhao Yuan attacked were the belly of the Xunyu Plain, then the northern part of Lingshan County was the eastern throat of the Xunyu Plain.
The Xunyu Plain is surrounded by mountains, and the entry and exit throat to the east is crucial. If Lu Ce captured "Lingshan County", he could go north to seal off the connection between "Xunyu Plain" and Nanning Prefecture, and eat up the 30,000 native soldiers in this area.
There are too many native soldiers, and a decisive battle will result in a large number of sacrifices of soldiers regardless of victory or defeat. Lu Ce hoped to eliminate the effective forces of the Yi people piece by piece during the movement, instead of letting the Yi people break up and gather together to fight the vanguard battalion. However, there were very few cavalry in the vanguard battalion, and even if they could defeat the enemy, they would not be able to pursue many of them. The only way out is?What to do? "
Lu Ce asked, "Are you scared?"
Zhao Ban pointed to a high ground three or four miles east of the county seat and said, "Master, if we set up artillery over there, we can hit the county seat. Or we can go around from the south and set up on the slope to block the horses, so the war elephants can't rush up. As long as the first If you withstand the first wave, you will win later."
Deng Aqi glanced at Zhao Ban angrily and cursed loudly, "What bullshit idea? The slope is so gentle. You have 2,600 guns and 60 cannons mounted to blast. The war elephants can't rush up, but there are more than 10,000 people behind." The barbarians are charging forward! More than 2,000 people are worth 16,000 barbarians. Even if we can win, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat them."
Deng Aqi cursed angrily, "I haven't married Han Yan'er yet, and I don't want to die."
Zhao Ban frowned and shouted, "Han Yan'er likes you? You look like a scoundrel!"
Deng Aqi rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Is it possible that the "Ten Immovable Generals" also like Han Yan'er? I heard that Han Yan'er likes handsome men!"
Seeing the two bastards circling around him, Lu Ce frowned and cursed, "What a mess! Deng Aqi, do you still remember the several deception exercises at the beginning of the year? Deceive them to go to Xiang Zeye." "
Deng Aqi was stunned for a moment, looked at the city wall in the distance filled with Yi soldiers, and licked his lips. Seeing his nervous look, Zhao Ban said proudly, "Master, I'll do it. There's no way this scoundrel can do it. I'll do it!"
Deng Aqi chuckled and said with a smile, "Come on, it's in vain that I helped you with so many ideas. You can't even deceive a maritime merchant's daughter, but you can also deceive more than 10,000 Yi people?"
Zhao Ban's face turned red and he spat angrily, "In the middle of the war, you are still here to cause trouble, drag me down and behead me!" Having been hurt by Deng Aqi, Zhao Ban was really losing his momentum. Zhao Ban added, and said, "How do you understand? I don't want to lie!"
Deng Aqi blinked his eyes and laughed, "How can you not deceive your enemy? I will show you today what deception is!"
