Chapter 117: Return to Jintang Island


On the Fuchun River, the Qing army sailed in unison, and the sails shot to the south bank like arrows by the north wind.The Ming artillery bombarded and splashed the water column, but it could not be stopped, and the Qing ships rushed to the shore.A large number of Qing ships and rafts smoothly rushed to the river beach, and the Ming soldiers stood on the earthen wall, and the arquebuses were brushed up one by one, waiting for the Qing army to rush in.Thousands of green battalion soldiers, all over the river beach, Liu Liangzuo waved his knife with great joy, "Brothers, kill me!"

”The Qing soldiers screamed and rushed forward, and suddenly a burst of shells fell, and in the dense crowd, like ploughing, smashed the Qing soldiers on their backs, leaving behind stumps and wounded soldiers wailing."

The red flag of the straight lady thief, Lao Tzu is your ancestor!"

The Qing soldiers who charged were smashed by the Hongyi artillery of their own people on the north bank, suffered heavy losses, and their morale was instantly discharged.The Qing army did not carry out infantry and artillery coordination training, Liu Liangzuo landed on the shore here, and Kong Youde was still firing artillery bombardment, and a round of artillery bombardment overturned nearly 100 green battalion soldiers, and the Qing troops who were impacted retreated to the shore one after another, scolding the grandson of the red flag for being blind.Seeing this scene, Duoduo withdrew the clairvoyant mirror, his face was gloomy, and Kong Youde next to him saw it, felt embarrassed, and hurriedly ordered the artillery team to stop the bombardment.The artillery of the Qing army on the north bank was extinguished, and behind the earthen wall on the south bank, Wu Zhaosheng, a general of the Ming army, glanced at the beachhead, and the Qing army had begun to establish a beachhead to defend against the counterattack of the Ming army, and at the same time to meet the men and horses behind to cross the river."

General, let's fight!"

I saw more and more enemy soldiers on the river beach, and thousands of households next to him rushed to the road.Wu Zhaosheng waved his hand violently and roared angrily, "Shoot!"

”On the earthen wall, the arquebus flames flickered, the smoke was filled, and half of the body behind the wall was buried in the iron bucket underground, and with a loud bang, the explosive bag was thrown out and shot at the beachhead.The Qing soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block, and then the Qing troops continued to go ashore, and from the boats and bamboo rafts, pushed down the shield carts, moved down the small artillery carts, fired explosive bags to return fire, and the battle gradually became fierce.On the north bank, Duoduo picked up the clairvoyant mirror again, Liu Liangzuo's green battalion soldiers had already landed on the north bank, as long as the Ming army could not beat them back and drive them into the river, the Qing army would continue to cross the river, and half of the battle to cross the river would be won.On the front of dozens of miles, a number of Qing troops crossed the river at the same time, hundreds of small boats, thousands of rafts, loaded with soldiers, rushed to the south bank, even if all the troops in eastern Zhejiang were deployed on the south bank, Duoduo was also confident that he would break through the river defense, not to mention that the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang only invested half of the men and horses to defend the Qing army to cross the river.Bolo stared at the boats shuttling on the river, "Lord Wang, this time the barbarians will be destroyed!"

”Duoduo is also full of confidence, "In the face of strength, the struggle of the barbarians, but to delay the time of destruction, the general trend will not change, and when eastern Zhejiang and Fujian are destroyed, this king will be able to spend the summer in Beijing with peace of mind next year." ”~~~~~~ Jintang Island, Liegang Wharf, a small fortune boat, docked on the shore, and as soon as the boat stopped, Zhao Ming jumped off the boat.After Zhao Ming saw Zhang Mingzhen, he galloped quickly, met King Lu and Fang Guoan who went south in Taizhou, informed them of the truth, and conveyed the holy decree of Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu.Zhu Yihai understood that it was Zheng Zhilong who was doing the ghost, but there were still some people in eastern Zhejiang who didn't want to stop.At this time, the wolf smoke rose north, and the river defense warned many people, so many people suggested that they should directly enter Fujian and avoid the Qing army.Zhao Ming and the others tried their best to stop it, Qian Sule, a scholar from the university, and Zhang Huangyan, the imperial historian of the right capital, shouted: "Your Highness, have you forgotten the matter of Anzong?"

”Hongguang Dynasty, died in the internal tilt, Zuozhen rebelled in the east.The Donglin Party originally wanted to use Zuozhen to overthrow Ma Shiying and Emperor Hongguang and seize power in Nanjing, but they didn't want Zuozhen to be defeated by Huang Degong in Wuhu, and at this time, the Qing army suddenly moved south, causing the collapse of the entire river defense and the rapid demise of the Hongguang Dynasty.King Lu's face was gloomy when he heard this, but he still accepted Zhang Huangyan's suggestion, received the holy decree of Emperor Longwu in Taizhou, and issued a decree in eastern Zhejiang, announcing that he would go to the position of supervising the country, serving Longwu as Zhengshuo, and as the crown prince, he continued to call on the military and people in eastern Zhejiang to resist the Qing Dynasty.At that moment, King Lu urgently ordered the army to return north, but Zhao Ming did not accompany him, but decided to return to Jintang Island.The last time Duoduo crossed the river in a hurry, the Qing army was not well prepared, and was blown up by the bombing bag again, so he retreated to the south bank.This time, Duoduo came prepared, and it was actually very difficult for the Zhejiang army to block the Qing army.Zhao Ming originally counted on the Tang and Lu alliances, and when the Qing army attacked eastern Zhejiang, the Longwu court would be able to send reinforcements, but now it seems that the Longwu court was controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and if he didn't stab him from behind, he would be Amitabha.Now, most of the Longwu court can't count on it, so it can only rely on eastern Zhejiang to fight against the Qing army, and the situation can be said to be not optimistic.Now that Duoduo has been preparing for several months, he must have prepared all kinds of equipment, and after the fried bag was used once, the Qing army thought that it would not be of much use.After all, it's just black powder, mixed with some cotton, and the power is not very great, and the Qing army may have mastered how to make fried buns.In this way, when the Zhejiang army faced the Qing army, there was no advantage at all, as long as 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners crossed the river, the river defense would collapse, and the Zhejiang army would be defeated.On the dock, Chen Mingyu, Ma Shiao and others came to greet them, and when they saw Zhao Ming getting off the boat, they all said happily: "Bo'an!

Checkmate!

”Zhao Ming waved his hand with a serious expression, "Let's go, let's go back and talk about it!"

”In the stockade, Zhao Ming sat in the middle hall, and the others sat down on both sides.After Yan Yingyuan left, Jintang Island took Zhao Ming's horse as the leader, and he finally had a piece of his own territory.At this time, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Duoduo is attacking eastern Zhejiang, with the strength of eastern Zhejiang, it may not be the opponent of the Qing army, we have also rested on the island for nearly half a year, it is time to contribute to the world!"

”Everyone in the hall discussed for a while, and Wang Deshun hugged his fists and said: "General, you can lead us to do it!"

”"The general just commands!"

Liu Si, Li Zhongming, Guo Zhong and others expressed their positions one after another, Zhao Ming was very relieved to see this, he can be regarded as having his own descendants.Seeing this lofty ambition, Zhao Ming said loudly: "Jiannu is powerful, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting along the line of Fuchun and Qiantang, and if we throw our people into it, we will have to defeat half of it in one day, and we won't be able to make a ripple when we die."

However, we are not useless, although Jiannu is strong, it is not without weaknesses. ”Ma Shiao said in a deep voice: "How is the general going to fight?"

”Zhao Ming stood up and asked, "Is there a map?"

”Chen Ming hurriedly asked someone to get a map, Zhao Ming immediately unfolded it, and then said, "Everyone come and see." ”When everyone came around, Zhao Ming pointed to the map and said: "Now Zhedong only has the power to defend, and it is very capable of defeating the Qing army in the front, so it can only be passively defended."

Then there are only two results in the battle of eastern Zhejiang, one is that the Qing army breaks through the defense line to occupy eastern Zhejiang, and the other is that the Qing army is tired and stops attacking.However, it is obvious that the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies a vast area, and its troops, material resources, and financial resources are several times that of eastern Zhejiang. ”When Ruan Mei heard this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Then we won't lose!"

”Zhao Ming glanced at him, "That's not necessarily, it's not like we don't have a chance." ”Saying that, Zhao Ming pointed to the map and continued, "If Zhedong wants to tide over the crisis, there is only one way, which is to carry the Qing army head-on, break through in other places, wait for other battlefields to take a turn, and force the Qing army to retreat." ”Saying that, Zhao Ming stood up, "I have already suggested that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, like the imperial court, ask the official army of Gannan and Huguang to launch a counterattack, but the imperial court is now controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and may not send troops, so we can't pin all our hopes on the imperial court, and we have to take action ourselves." ”The strategy that Zhao Ming said is very simple, and everyone can understand it, that is, dragging it head-on and breaking through on the flanks.It's just that ordinary people use this trick on a battlefield, but Zhao Ming uses several provinces as a battlefield.This makes everyone still a little frightened, and the reason why Zhao Ming can have such a big picture is mainly a matter of vision, as a later generation, the overall situation is naturally stronger than these, and people who don't even know what China looks like.Ma Shiao said in a deep voice: "I don't know what action the general wants to take?"

”Zhao Ming pointed his finger at the Yangtze River, "Let's enter the Yangtze River and scare the turtle grandson of Duoduo!"
