    "General Pingnan of the Qing Dynasty asked General Li Huabao of the Hongwu Army to come out and speak!" "My master has something to ask General Li Er, if he dares to come out and fight?!" The sun had just jumped out of the skyline between the river and the sea, and the Qing army  Then people, horses, vehicles, artillery, and baggage began to pour out of various camps in a steady stream, like streams continuously gathering into the wilderness outside Shanghai County.  People shout and horses neigh, sentries and horsemen roar to and fro to deliver orders, the sound of drums and trumpets is endless, and flags and streamers are like a forest and a sea.  Bolo¡¯s headquarters troops and horses, including the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies of the Eight Banners, were all dispatched. The total number was close to 10,000, of which more than 4,000 were cavalry, and the rest were infantry.  His troops and horses were naturally arrayed in the center and back of the entire Qing army's line.  In front of the main formation, twenty cannons capable of firing eight-pound cannons, and fifty small Hongyi cannons firing three-, five-, six-, and seven-pound cannons were arrayed in front of the Chinese army¡¯s formation, with stars holding the moon.  Generally, there are ten four-wheeled millstone artillery carts placed in the center as escorts. The artillery carts made of wrought iron are equipped with Shenwei General cannons weighing three to four thousand kilograms. These artillery are all heavy artillery that can fire more than ten kilograms of shells.  Behind the artillery carriage, artillery carriages and gunpowder carriages were densely lined up.  A huge handsome flag was placed on a Yuan Rong chariot. This chariot was carefully built by Liu Chanji and Jiangnan merchants in accordance with the patterns in the Military Bei Zhi and by finding Jiangnan master craftsmen. It was specially made to honor Pingnan General Bolo.  .  On the side of Yuan Rong's chariot, a woven gold dragon banner hung high on a nest chariot, announcing to the entire battlefield that the general's main formation was here.  And Yuele, the king of Anjun, played the role of raiding and holding down the formation for Boluo. More than 10,000 of his men were arranged at the rear of the entire front.  He has less than 4,000 soldiers and horses in his headquarters, and the rest are recruited by him along the way.  But these more than 3,000 people are all cavalry of the same color. Not only do everyone ride a horse, many of them are equipped with two horses.  They wore iron-inlaid cotton armor and lightning rod helmets, and many people also wore Nanzhong breastplates over the cotton armor in a showy manner.  Unlike Boluo's men who wore tiger spears, knives, maces, giant axes, horse lunges and bows, which were cold weapons with the characteristics of the Eight Banners, many of Yue Le's men carried firecrackers on their backs. In the pattering spring rain, they were very  It was carefully wrapped in a tung oil cloth gun jacket.  The Baya La soldiers and close servants beside Yue Le carried fire blunderbuss on their backs, and horse blunderbuss were hung on their horses. Dozens of Baya La soldiers leaders and domestic slaves also carried short fire blunderbuss around their waists.  The remaining thousands of soldiers and horses were also neatly dressed. The cavalry wore long body armor with embedded armor leaves and iron helmets for arms and hands, while the infantry wore folded turbans on their heads.  Or wear a red hat and waist-length armor.  Short hoods vary.  This type of short nails basically has no nail leaves inside, and only some nail bubbles are nailed on the surface. At least everyone has nails.  The spearmen all wear red waist-length armor, and the sword and shield soldiers all wear red cotton armor.  Looking from a distance, it looks like a burning cloud.  These were all collected by Yue Le from the surrendered soldiers and horses along the way since he went south.  Compared with Bolo and others' style of accepting no matter what comes as long as they surrender, Yue Le is much more picky.  Therefore, in comparison, the number of his troops and horses is much inferior to that of Boloturg and others.  However, when it comes to quality and momentum, Bolo has no advantage at all.  Today, Boluo invested more than 100,000 people in one breath, and the first enemy invested 50,000. Behind Yue Le, there were 80,000 horses assembled in formation, ready to fight at any time.  Between the two fronts, countless handymen were carrying back and forth like ants in the drizzle in the muddy ground. Ladders, cannons, gunpowder, and various siege equipment were slowly moved in the midst of their hoarse slogans.  move forward.  "This damn rain in the south of the Yangtze River!" Bolo shook the water drops on his poncho bitterly. From time to time, water droplets dripped from the brim of his helmet, affecting his vision.  "Master, I have asked. The rain will stop after a while. As long as the rain stops, the army can be dispatched!" The leader of the slaves around Bolo was very sophisticated and had already guessed what his master was thinking.  If the rain doesn't stop, the artillery of the army cannot fire normally, affecting the display of firepower.  The artillery could not suppress the firepower set up by the Hongwu Army in the artillery fort on the opposite side, so the Qing soldiers and horses would not be able to rush forward, and the swords, guns and equipment in their hands would naturally be of no use at all.  On both sides of Bolo's main formation are the soldiers and horses who are responsible for the task of leading the enemy this time.  The generals, deputy generals, guerrillas, and generals of each town recognized and commanded the flags one by one. The flags were soaked by the rain above the large and small square formations.  According to the current military system of the Green Flag Army, a town has a general army and a headquarters of about several thousand people. The rest are the deputy generals, generals, guerrilla soldiers and horses in the town, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion. Even if they have empty quotas, they will receive empty pay.  , and don¡¯t dare to be as unscrupulous as before. After all, after everyone changed their banners, it is obvious that the current master is very different from the previous one.  In the old Zhu family, the boss had neither money nor food, and he didn¡¯t even have a knife in his hand.?, so we can only let them do all kinds of nonsense.  Later, Lao Li, the second shopkeeper, came. Although there was no shortage of money and food, he was not the boss after all, so naturally everyone was a bit reluctant.  But now this new braided boss has a very sharp knife in his hand. If you don't obey, he will treat your whole family to eat flat noodles immediately.  Those who are obedient and work hard will be rewarded with money and food by their bosses.  Dozens of large and small square formations, seven or eight general soldiers, and dozens of deputy generals and staff led their respective troops, and a front line stretching for dozens of miles was opened outside Shanghai County.  There were messengers flying from Bolo's main formation to deliver orders to various military formations.  Soon, the noisy roars of tens of thousands of people echoed in the wilderness.  "General Pingnan of the Qing Dynasty asked the second general of the Li family if he dared to come out and fight?!" "General Li, is it possible that after your eldest brother died, your family no longer had a son who dared to fight?" A series of provocative and insulting words  , passed through the rain and fog, and spread to the county town.  On the dock by the river, Li Huamei also heard the faint sound of shouting. She smiled and asked Li Huabao who came to see him off: "Second brother, how are you? Are you angry or not?" "Are you so angry?!" Li Huabao  He showed a look of resignation in front of his sister, "My father has taught me a long time ago that a master should not start an army out of anger, and a general should not go to war out of anger. The master also said that as a general, you must first learn not to be angry, and then learn to be angry to death.  . I have given an order that if they want to scold them, let them scold them in the rain. No matter how much they scold us, we will not get a hair off us. We can just sit around the stove and drink hot soup and sip tea, waiting for them to get tired of scolding.  It's too cold. If we come up again, we'll use the calibrated artillery guns to treat them to something hot! " "You're so tired! Master Liu will be angry if he sees you like this!  "One Buddha is born and two Buddhas are born." "Sister, you are wrong. The master is from the Taoist sect and has nothing to do with the Buddha!" ??After a few words, Li Huamei led the people to climb up the mountain.  Plum number.  "Haosheng guarding the city. I'll take care of those annoying guys in the river and come back to help you!" "Sister, just don't worry!" Li Huabao put away his expression and saluted his sister solemnly.  Today, Bolo¡¯s attack was divided into two groups: land and water.  Although the momentum on land is great, it is not the main battlefield.  His main purpose is to go to the Huangpu River.  Every time the Qing army attacked Shanghai, they were bombarded by land and water artillery fire from the river, county towns, and commercial areas.  This time, Boluo became ruthless and mobilized all the ships on the canal east of Zhenjiang and Nanjing, and on the canal south of Huai'an, Huaiyin and Yangzhou, and entered the Yangtze River and turned into the Huangpu River.  He wanted to use the absolute advantage of numbers to first destroy Li Huamei's naval fleet, cut off one wing of Shanghai County's defense system, and then attack Shanghai.  Who is Li Huamei?  That's the legend who caught the boat cannon during the Zhou Dynasty!  How could you not see the purpose of the densely packed boats of various sizes on the river that almost covered the entire river?  What's more, her husband-in-law is Shi Lang, who has lived in a pirate den since childhood, and is very familiar with all kinds of activities on the water.  In her opinion, Bolo's little thoughts were just childish.  "Want to use a large number of ships to fight with the general on a narrow river, consuming my artillery and sailors, and then use a fire ship to go down the river and burn my ship? What a good idea!" Standing on the bridge  Li Huamei sneered as she faced the wet and slightly salty river wind.  "Sign the flag, and the fleet will come up to meet them! Since they are here, we have to sing a few words in harmony!" Led by the Aomei, twelve ships of various sizes went upstream and followed the wind, facing the huge Qing army on the Huangpu River.  The fleet left.  "We really spent a lot of money. There are more than a dozen gunboats, hundreds of large and small sand ships, and thousands of canal ships. Even if there are only 50 soldiers on each ship, there are at least 50,000 or 60,000 people!" Li Huamei observed the distance through the telescope.  Qing fleet.  "Princess, I'm afraid there are more fire ships than war ships in these ships!" Fathead Fish was already the captain of Li Huamei's personal soldiers. He also held a telescope in his hand to observe the enemy situation on the opposite side.  "Hmph! I want to learn from our Admiral Zheng's tricks, but if you do this trick in front of where to buy, isn't that selling water by the river and overestimating your capabilities?!" Li Huamei had already discovered that many ships in the fleet looked like  It is fully loaded, but the waterline is very high. It is obviously not heavy food such as grain and cannons, but only reedwood, fish oil, sulfur and other flammable materials.  What's more, among the undulations of the waves, you can vaguely see the dark prows of these ships with iron hooks and nails, which makes it even more certain that they are fire ships.  "If you want to burn the warship, fine! Let's see who among us is Cao Mengde!" Li Huamei gave the order, and the fleet accelerated its speed and rushed straight towards the Qing fleet.  "This scarlet-winged tiger is still so fierce!"He Ming saw many ships here, but he was not afraid at all. As expected, all of Liang Guogong's children are outstanding!  " In the middle of the Qing fleet, on a large tugboat, the commander of the Qing navy, Manchu Zhenglan Banner Mele Zhangjing Eheli, stood steadily on the bow, also holding a telescope to observe the oncoming attack from downstream.  The fleet of Li Huamei arrived. The plum blossom flag on the Aomei was fluttering fiercely in the river wind, making it clear at a glance that this was Li Huamei¡¯s ship. ¡°Today, I will defeat this scarlet-winged tiger of yours and report it to you.  The grace of the master has reduced the hatred of my Uncle Turg!  ¡± Eheli is the nephew of Turge and the grandson of Eyidu. They both come from the Niu Hulu clan. (Did you see that the Niu Hulu clan not only produced Heshen and Master, who have a bad reputation, but they are also great people.  There are still many. Otherwise, it would not have become one of the eight noble surnames in Manchuria, and it was one of the four major families in the Qing Dynasty, alongside the Hesheli family, the Tong family, and the Fucha family.  He moved to Jia La Ezhen. He went to Huguang from Prince Zheng. He was defeated by the Ming army and was awarded the title of director of the capital Zhongcheng.  He defeated Zheng Chenggong twice. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Zheng Chenggong invaded Fujian and stationed in Haicheng. General Jin Li of Pingnan asked Yi's army to attack. He ordered General Eheli to attack with 1,500 troops.  They succeeded in joining forces and defeated them, then attacked Haicheng and defeated the successful soldiers. (Some people have said, isn't it said in literary and artistic works that the Qing army is good at riding and archery, but not good at water warfare? How can it defeat the people who are famous for their navy?  Zheng Chenggong? This is why you have been misled. How did the Qing army come from a fishing and hunting tribe in the Northeast? How could they hunt for pearls, hunt otters, and catch salmon?  The scene where he gets seasick after getting on the boat is pure nonsense from the director) It is because of this uncle-nephew relationship, and because Eheli also made great achievements in Tashan, and was promoted from Niulu Zhangjing to Mele Zhangjing.  His uncle Ildon snatched the job. Today, the character who had defeated the Yanping County King twice in history was about to meet Zheng Sen's sister-in-law. I don't know if Li Huamei would give Fu Songwan.  Such a bad breath in his history? ! That Yildeng is not an ordinary person. He was born in Xiangbaiqi Manchuria. Not only was he the son of E Yidu, but he also served as a bodyguard of Nurhachi in September of the third year of Tiancong.  Zhangzi Island was under the jurisdiction of the old Ming general Mao Wenlong. Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan. Commander Yildeng captured the area, sank it, and captured his people. In October, he attacked Longjing Pass from the Ming Dynasty.  In August of the fifth year, they attacked Dalinghe City. Ildeng made the east side of the city and built a strong fort around it.  Defeated the enemy. In August, the general Yu Hongchengchou moved between Chen's troops at Songshan and Xingshan, and ordered the ministers of Beile to intercept the Ming soldiers.  , met thousands of Ming soldiers sneaking out from Xingshan, killed them, and then reached Gaoqiao; met more than 600 Ming soldiers from the south of Xingshan, and fell into ambush. The Ming soldiers moved their camp up to Songshan.  Cao Bianjiao invaded the imperial camp at night, and Turge took the lead in shooting at the enemy. Ilden and the internal minister Xihan organized their troops to resist, but Bianjiao was defeated.  Eheli is from the Tashan family, so he may not be able to compete with his biological uncle Ildon! "Master, let's let the fire ship come up from behind. We are going with the current and against the wind, so we can set fire to her Li Huamei!"  "Eheli's subordinate, Jia Lazhangjing Alinbao walked from the stern to the bow and asked Eheli to fight. "Wait a minute.  Li Huamei hadn't gone deep enough and set the boat on fire too early. She could turn around and escape at any time.  Where are we now?  " "Master, just ahead is Lujiazui.  Look, isn't that the fort we set up along the river?  There are more than a dozen artillery pieces of various sizes, and four to five hundred people are guarding them.  " "Send people ashore and tell them that when Li Huamei's fleet comes over and sees our ship exchanging fire with Li Huamei, a tigress, we will launch an artillery attack from the shore.  " "Master, their cannon may not be able to sink Li Huamei's ship. It would be good if it can hit it!"  "Alinbao was very clear about the quality of the forts he set up, and he looked embarrassed. "You stupid slave!  "Eheli was in a good mood and cursed with a smile. "Don't your master know what the quality of those artillery pieces is?  I asked people who are familiar with this section of the river. The river in this area is shallow, with a lot of sand and shoals.  The big ship under Li Huamei must be very careful when walking, as it will run aground if you are not careful.  The fort opened fire on the shore, not necessarily to hit them, but only to harass them, eh?  .  .  .  .  .  "Eheli used both hands hard and made a weak gesture of strangling someone. Alinbao nodded. "Master, this slave understands!  When they fire cannons on the shore, the Nanman navy must be careful to avoid them. If they are not careful, they may run aground.Just wait for us on the boat to open fire or join the gang!  " " Then go quickly?  !  "The flag waved, the suona sounded, and the formation of the Qing fleet began to change. Dozens of gunboats moved to the left and right wings, and more than a hundred small boats rushed out of the fleet like hyenas, galloping across the river.  Most of these boats are long dragons and fast crabs, all of which are recruited from the canal and river defense camps in Lianghuai and other places. In addition to the sailors driving the boats, there are mainly a dozen people carrying guns.  The Qing soldiers are on board. Their mission is to wait for Li Huamei's naval fleet to approach, then rush into the fleet and bombard the deck of the navy ship with their guns, killing the sailors on the deck. "If any of you slaves are lucky,  The princess who overthrew Liang Guogong with one shot, the emperor's father, regent and master in Beijing will also give you a red belt around his waist!  "This is what Eheli said to the gunmen during the pre-war mobilization. Cao Zhenyan's fame and wealth has now become a huge benchmark within the Qing Dynasty, especially within the Eight Banners. Everyone wants to achieve great military exploits, and then  He transformed into a master in a blink of an eye. Now that such a huge military achievement is in front of him, how can he not make the gunmen jealous? Even the sailors who are driving the ship are full of energy.  Oh, you slave, you have no rules!  Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to say hello to your old master, but why are you so presumptuous?  !  " In Shanghai County, the officers and soldiers of Hongwu opened their voices and loudly responded to the Qing army's challenge. Li Huabao heard a lot of secrets about the Li family and the Nurhachi family in Tieling from his uncle Li Peiting. In the past, it was just a talk after dinner, but today he was  Used as a weapon to "irritate people to death".
