Chapter 781: Vulnerable to a single blow
Half a month later, the calm and quiet Guangzhou city finally welcomed the belated imperial envoy of the Huangmen.
In fact, the eunuch was shocked when he knew that Hao Fenglou was also in Guangzhou. He was so leisurely that he became nervous again.
The man's actions were very fast. After two days of arrival, he immediately begged the Empress and said that the Empress Dowager and His Majesty missed the Empress Dowager very much and should set off immediately.
Empress Liu naturally knew what he was thinking, and the two sides hit it off. There was such a hidden danger in Guangzhou City, so let others take care of other things. After all, it was not safe for the two princes to stay here, so she flew into Feng Jie and moved quickly under the guards from Jinling and the three thousand officers and soldiers from Guangdong.
As soon as Empress Liu left, the governor Liu Yan and the commander Wang Meng were still worried. They were always paying attention to Hao Fenglou, fearing that this kid would not be good for Empress Liu. Guangdong was not Jiangxi after all, and the place in Jiangxi was prosperous. However, Guangdong looked at it, but the industry and commerce were developed. Who knew whether Hao Fenglou would make another trick in Guangxi in Guangdong, and that the rebellion would kill the queen again, and then the sky would fall.
Because many troops were mobilized to protect the queen, Guangzhou was a little empty, which gave Liu Yan and Wang Meng a chance.
As soon as the queen left, the two of them immediately got together. Wang Meng seemed a little anxious and went to see Liu Yan from time to time. Liu Yan seemed calm and calm. He glanced at Wang Meng and said, "Guangzhou is empty, it is natural to transfer the new army at the Pearl River Port to the city. After they entered the city, they attacked the headquarters of Hao Fenglou that night, regardless of life or death!"
Liu Yan's face became murderous. Since he had made up his mind, he didn't plan to turn around. It would be good to be able to capture alive, but he couldn't catch it alive. Then he simply broke the slaughter.
The court's patience for Hao Fenglou has reached its limit. Although they are unwilling to start the war at this time, if Hao Fenglou can be killed now, then Lang San will inevitably fall into a situation where there is no leader without such a backbone. Even if King Dingnan presides over the overall situation, the morale of the Lang San army will definitely fall to the extreme in the army. Since that is the case, then you might as well give it a try.
Wang Meng has been restless these days. After hearing Liu Yan's words, he calmed down. He glanced at Wang Meng deeply, and finally said with a heavy emphasis: "Okay, just do it!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A secret order has been quickly passed to the Pearl River Port. The difference between Xiangshan Guards and other guards is that they are an important gateway to Guangzhou, and there is a sea patrol here. At the same time, in order to prevent pirates, the court also established a Xiangshan Guard camp here, with 5,000 troops, close to the full amount. A few years ago, the Emperor Yongle innovated the guards of the world, and the Xiangshan Guards became a popular commodity, so they selected the young and strong guards of Guangdong to form the Xiangshan Guards and trained with muskets day and night. Since then, this has become the most dependent force on the Guangdong Commander Command.
Originally, such an elite army was set up in this inconspicuous place. It was a bit incredible. Therefore, some people speculated that the Emperor Yongle was probably because of his determination to pass the throne to the crown prince, and the prince Zhao's vassal state was in Guangzhou. In order to suppress King Zhao, the current Xiangshan Guard was found.
This speculation is widely circulated, but it is not groundless. Emperor Yongle cultivated the prince like this, and the prince was supported by all officials. If this country is not the prince, who else could there be? However, the two qualified princes, one in Qingzhou, had the opportunity to be banned half a circle, and the other in Guangzhou, used Xiangshan Guard to intimidate King Zhao. To a certain extent, for a father, it is not a very favorable arrangement. As the commander Liu Yan, the commander of Xiangshan Guard, it can be seen that the commander Liu was also a hero in the Jingnan army. However, this kind of brother did not fight east and west, but stayed in Peiping and assisted the prince in participating in the defense of Peiping. In this way, the matter was clear. He was the prince's man, and a prince's man held elite troops in his hand, just under the eyes of the king of Zhao. It has to be said that Zhu Di's arrangement could be seen by everyone.
Now, the prince is dead and Yongle has passed away. Although Liu Yan has an old age with the prince, he now only has one identity, that is, Mingchen. He has only one mission to guard Xiangshan, to guard against pirates.
Liu Yan is indeed quite capable, and the Xiangshan Guard looks a bit like that. Now a secret order has been heard, but Liu Yan is a little embarrassed.
The commander-in-chief was urgently transferred to Guangzhou. Given the current situation in Guangzhou, Liu Yan knew even a fool. What these people were going to do by themselves. They wanted to make themselves their swords and kill Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou is now a vassal king granted by the court. That's fine. He still has a father in Lang Son. There are more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line of Lang Son and Guilin. If he kills Hao Fenglou himself, will he give up?
But Liu Yan had no choice but to delay the order for several days. After several urgings in Guangzhou, he couldn't even leave. He was so cautious that he deliberately spread some rumors in the army, saying that it was his mission to enter Guangzhou this time, and sent these orders back to his hometown for his family to keep them properly. Liu Yan was afraid of being out of the grind and killing the donkey. He had no support in the court. He really had to settle the accounts in the future. He had some evidence. Although he knew that the effect of this evidence was minimal, he still kept it.
On that night, Liu Yan, who was staying in Xiangshan Camp, was restless.
On the other side, dozens of large ships had arrived at Xiangshan Port, and the commander of the Shenmao Guard, He Jian, was on the sea ship at this moment.
Those who came with him were five thousand Divine Mechanics officers and soldiers.
These five thousand people are already waiting for the battle at this moment. Since Hao Fenglou set off for Guangdong, the army has set off at Haifang Port, setting sail all the way to the Pearl River Port.
"Send the order, put down the landing boat, go ashore, and attack immediately!"
The big ships were anchored one after another, and then small boats were put down in the dark. Many people were fully armed and slipped down the cables and boarded the landing craft directly. Although these people were wearing military uniforms, they were covered with a black cloak behind them. The hood on the cloak covered their heads, and no one made a sound. They just started to move quietly.
Regarding this login, in fact, Tsing Ce Mansion had already had targeted training plans a few months ago. At this time, both veterans and new recruits were very familiar.
He Jian also boarded the landing craft. Each landing craft, such a flat-bottomed boat, was rowing towards the beach in the distance by a dozen people.
On each ship, there is a small team officer. The small team officer has a detailed map of the Pearl River Port, and the maps indicate the location of the attacks of their respective teams. These maps were naturally mapped by the Military Information Department through premeditated surveys. Each team officer can immediately understand it after looking at the map.
This is why the Lang Son Army has a tradition of night classes. Officers must know how to calculate, understand military orders, and understand maps. Otherwise, if they don’t know big words and can’t even calculate, how can they effectively complete the formulated tactical mission?
The flat-bottomed boats began to rush to the beach along the tide, and then the teams began to gather. Everyone found their respective teams according to the pre-arrangement in the darkness according to the signal lantern.
No order is needed, each team started to set off.
In the darkness, with the bleak moonlight, a battle is about to begin.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
boom……
With a loud bang, the flames rushed into the sky.
An outpost located in Xiangshan Camp was immediately swallowed by flames. It was obvious that someone directly attacked the outpost with his hands. Then, before Xiangshan Guard could react, the sound of muskets immediately came from the Xiangshan Town and the camp.
Smack sex...
The explosions came again and again, and under the night sky, it was like New Year's fireworks, and Xiangshanwei was stunned.
They would never have imagined that they would be attacked by enemy forces here, and the Xiangshan Guards began to fall into chaos. Although they were training with muskets, the most deadly thing about the new army was that they needed enough preparation time for attacking and defense. They held muskets in sporadic places, loaded with lead ammunition and medicine bags. Even if they barely released a few guns, it would be impossible to achieve any effect.
On the left wing of the camp, teams of Shenmao guards began to face the shore. They became dense long snake formations. While moving forward, they took turns firing guns and pressed step by step. On the other side, there was another military horse, holding sharp blades and short guns, cleaning the periphery of Xiangshan Guards.
If Xiangshanwei had to be described in one sentence at this time, then the only thing that could come in handy was probably the four words "vulnerable to a blow".
That's right, it's just vulnerable. If they were given enough time to let them play the trick of queuing up with the Divine Mechanic Guard, perhaps they could still cause some casualties. Now, this Xiangshan Guard, whose organizational response ability is far from that of the Hao family army, has no power to fight back.
