The Anqing Water Camp was established in the fourth year of Shunzhi and played a great role in suppressing the rebellion of Jin and Wang in Jiangxi.
The current chief soldier of the water battalion is Cao Jukui, a native of Gaoyou, Yangzhou, with nearly 200 large and small ships and more than 3,600 sailors.
In addition to the water camp, there is a green battalion from Nanyang, Henan Province in Anqing City, the number of which is about 3,000 people, and the leader is Wang Meng, the general soldier of Nanyang.
In addition, it is the 200 Manchurian armored soldiers under Gushan Ezhen Babush Dayou.
Wang Mengyuan was the deputy general of Zhang Chao, the general of Nanyang, Zhang Chao went south with Prince Jian to conquer Guangdong and surrendered to the Taiping Army, and is now the B Brigade Brigade School of the Seventh Town of the Taiping Army.
This seventh town from the town generals to the brigade school, battalion officers, and guards, from top to bottom, whether officers or soldiers, almost all of them were born in the green battalion of the Qing army, so it was laughingly called "green hat town" by other towns.
When the news of the loss of Nanjing came, Babush Dayou panicked, this person was the nephew of the five founding ministers of Emperor Taizu, the meek prince He Heli.
After the Qing army entered the customs, Babush Dayou only went to Datong with the British prince Azig, and never led troops again.
This time, Yue Le brought him in, but because his sister Wu Lianghai was Yue Le's side blessing.
All the soldiers and horses in Anqing are only 6,000 people, and Babush Dayou naturally can't think of leading his troops to recover Nanjing, but he doesn't know whether he should continue to stay in Anqing or leave this dangerous place quickly.
No matter how incompetent Babush Dayou is, he also knows that Anqing is a place that must be captured by the Yangtze River, and now Nanjing in the lower reaches has been lost, and Jiangxi in the upper reaches is also occupied by the Taiping army, but it will not be long before the Taiping army will inevitably attack Anqing, and at that time, he may not be able to leave even if he wants to.
Fortunately, just when Babush Dayou was sitting in Anqing, Tang Sanshui, the governor of Guangdong, and Chen Yuan, the general soldier of Jiujiang, retreated from Ruichang on the west side of Jiujiang, and they came with more than 70 boats and more than 3,000 soldiers.
Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan didn't know about the great changes that had taken place in Nanjing, and when Babush Dayu told them the news, the former cried on the spot, and the latter turned white with fright.
After crying bitterly, Tang Sanshui knelt on the ground and couldn't stop kowtowing to Babush Dayou, and asked Ezhen to lead them to recover Nanjing and rescue Prince An, so that his brain was bleeding.
Babushda especially felt Tang Sanshui's loyalty, and he was very embarrassed.
Cao Jukui, Wang Meng, and Chen Yuan were worried about dying, lest they would be really bloody, and they would really take them to Nanjing to die.
Fortunately, Lord Ezhen was very sensible, and after praising and comforting the governor of Guangdong, he euphemistically said that the significance of holding Anqing at the moment was more important than retaking Nanjing.
The emperor has already led a large army to come, 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 this, he looked unwilling, but in the end he still let out a long sigh, indicating that everything was under Ezhen's orders.
But as long as Ezhen gave an order, he Tang Sanshui and the 3,000 soldiers he brought from Guangdong were determined to go to Tang for the Qing Dynasty Chen Yuan also stubbornly stated, his head was still hanging.
Jiujiang is his defense area, but he fled without a fight, if Tang Sanshui hadn't said to move him, he would have absconded in disguise and gone incognito.
But even if he has the heart to atone for his sins, he is also very worried about whether the court will still have to punish him after knowing that he is in Anqing.
Until now, Chen Yuan couldn't understand how Tang Sanshui could come to Anqing so calmly.
Speaking of which, he, the governor of Guangdong, is more guilty than himself Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out, so he could only guess whether Tang Sanshui had some excellent backstage in the court, otherwise this person's heart would not be so big.
The more than 3,000 soldiers brought by Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan undoubtedly strengthened the strength of the Anqing defenders, so that Babush Dayou dispelled the idea of giving up Anqing and decided to hold on instead.
He ordered the Dongcheng to be vacated to accommodate the Cantonese soldiers brought by Tang Sanshui, and also specially opened the Anqing Mansion Treasury and gave the Cantonese soldiers a reward of five taels of silver to encourage them to continue to serve the Qing Dynasty.
As for Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan, Babush Dayou held a banquet in the government that night, and found a few famous Qinglou women in Anqing to sit with them.
The good news came one after another, Tang Sanshui and their front feet had just arrived, and another Qing army rushed to Anqing, but it was ordered by Yue Le, the prince of An, to go to Wuhu to pursue and suppress the solid mountain and Zhenjin Department of Zhekou.
When Jin Li entered the city, he was very embarrassed.
When he set out from Nanjing, Yue Le allocated him 5,000 soldiers, but there were only more than 500 left.
Babush Dayou thought that Jin Li was attacked by the Taiping Army, but he didn't want Jin Li to smile bitterly and said that he had not encountered the Taiping Army at all.
This made Babush Dayou very surprised, he didn't encounter the Taiping Army, why was Jin Li's loss so big.
At the wine table, Jin Li told Babush Dayu the truth.
It turned out that after he led the army to Wuhu to fight the air, he pursued Zhekou all the way to the west, and won a lot of money, killing thousands of Zhekou, and the rest of Zhekou scattered and fled.
But just when Jin Li commanded all the troops to sweep away all the Zhejiang Kou, the news of the loss of Nanjing came.
That night, Bao Zhao, the chief soldier of Hebei, ran away with his troops, saying that he was going to Nanjing, needless to say, he must have surrendered to the Ming army.
Shandong general soldier Wang Yizheng and Fu Suppression general soldier Liang Jiaqi were still benevolent, they waited for two more days, and when it was confirmed that Nanjing was really lost, Prince An Yue Le and Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo were also captured, and the two of them immediately led their troops to announce that they would return to Ming anyway.
But he was kind, he didn't attack Jin Li, and only monitored him.
Come to think of it, once the two get in touch with the Taiping Army, it will be the time for them to turn their faces and start to submit their names.
At this time, Wuhu and Ningguo all over the large and small cities already knew the news that Nanjing was recovered by the Ming army, and all the officials of all sizes announced that they were anyway, and the original green battalion soldiers also became the Ming army.
It can be said that Jin Li's 600 Han army has been surrounded by the Ming army, and it is difficult for him to do anything.
Tu Hai suggested that Jin Li immediately withdraw to western Zhejiang and join up with Tong Guoqi, the governor of Zhejiang, so that whether the army was advancing or retreating to Hangzhou, it would always be able to contain the Ming army.
In the future, after the emperor's army crossed the river and regained Nanjing, the crime of defeating the army could always be offset by the merits.
Jin Li shook his head and refused to go to Zhejiang, he thought that once Nanjing was lost, Fujian and Zhejiang would be under the front of the Taiping army, and there would be Zheng troops along the coast, and it would be a death to go to Zhejiang.
The smart way is to cross the river and return to the north immediately, or go to Yangzhou, or go to Anqing.

Tu Hai is just a person who treats crimes, and he can't be the master of Jinli.
At that moment, Jin Li led the Han army back to Wuhu, robbed dozens of boats of the Dangtu Water Division, which had returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and crossed the Yangtze River.
Originally, Jin Li was going to Yangzhou downstream, but on the way, he was attacked by a Manchurian soldier pretending to be a thief, and more than 100 people were killed.
Hearing that there were many thieves in front of him, Jin Li was worried that he would not be able to hold out Yangzhou, so he turned to Anqing.
After walking on the road for four days and worrying for four days, I finally saw the city wall of Anqing. oshow7 t1706231537:
