On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is a time for people to gather as a family to celebrate the New Year and enjoy the harvest of the previous year.But this year, this year is not easy for the Han nation.Beijing fell, Nanjing changed hands, the Qing army had attacked eastern Zhejiang, the heavy feeling of the country and the death of the family, and the sadness of the destruction of the family made 1646, the New Year of the second year of Longwu, particularly bleak.The people have no intention of celebrating the New Year, and the army still needs to fight.In the early morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong joined forces, and the army advanced rapidly along the south bank of the Yangtze River.The cavalry of Li Chengdong's former army was dispatched everywhere to show the eyes of the army.For a time, I saw that beside the Yangtze River, the dense forests were all Ming soldiers in armor and soldiers, and the river was all over the river, transporting grain and grass materials, more than 10,000 troops, stretching for several miles before and after, extremely spectacular.Under the banner of the two-pole big sword, Li Chengdong sat proudly on horseback, and Zhao Ming held a big stick in parallel with him, but he looked like his follower, like his general.This made Zhao Ming very unhappy, but he was helpless, Li Chengdong was the chief military officer, Zhao Ming was just a guerrilla general, plus his armor, it was the result of killing Chen Rui, it was the armor of the garrison, it turned out that it was quite eye-catching among the small soldiers, and he could go to a bunch of deputy generals, generals, and guerrillas, and he was immediately close to each other.Behind the two of them, each general followed, and Li, Zhao, Wang, Yan, Ruan, Zhang and others each recognized their flags, followed closely behind, hunting with the wind.In the army, each flag represents a general, a soldier and a horse, each general carries a weapon, urging the horse behind, quite a bit of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the army, the conquest of the taste of the subordinate.At this time, Zhao Ming introduced Li Chengdong while walking: "Twenty miles ahead, it is Zhenjiang, where the South Grand Canal is connected to the Yangtze River.As long as our army occupies this place, it can cut off the transportation, and the grain from Huguang and Jiangxi will not be able to be transferred to central Zhejiang through Zhenjiang, and Duoduo will inevitably be anxious. ”Li Chengdong bowed slightly, but then frowned and said: "Most of the elite of the Qing army are going south, but in the territory of Nanzhi, it is not that there are no elite soldiers of the Qing army, and there are a few people and horses that the commander knows.Now that most of Nanjing knows the movements of our army, Hong Chengchou will definitely react, Zhenjiang is an important place, he will not be unguarded!
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "No matter whether the old thief Hong is guarded against it or not, we have to fight this battle!"
”Li Chengdong's cheeks twitched, he didn't answer, and said half-loudly: "I don't know what the situation is in eastern Zhejiang, Jinhua City should be able to hold it, right?"
”Speaking of the situation in eastern Zhejiang, Zhao Ming was worried, "Jinhua is only blocking the road of the Qing army to Taizhou, maintaining the continuous connection between eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, and in the case of unfavorable war in eastern Zhejiang, His Royal Highness can also retreat to Taizhou and Wenzhou."
What I'm worried about is that Bolo's soldiers will monitor Jinhua with a small number of troops, and the army will directly outflank the rear of His Highness, so that the Jiang Defense Army can only pull out their legs and run south, panic~."
Report!"
As he spoke, a horse came galloping.Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming immediately reined in the reins of the horse and pulled the war horse to the side of the road, and the cavalry ran against the flow of people, flew off the horse, and reported urgently: "Handsome!"
More than ten miles ahead, east of the canal, there are a large number of Qing soldiers behind the river!
Prevent our army from approaching Zhenjiang!
”Hong Chengchou really made a move, knowing that Zhenjiang was the key to this battle, and sent soldiers and horses to stop it.Zhao Ming asked anxiously, "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy army have?"
”"Returning to General Zhao, the inferior and others found the enemy army and wanted to go forward to investigate, but they were driven away by the enemy's rangers, killed for a while, did not dare to approach, only looked from a distance, and saw that the other party was arrayed against the water, extremely strict, more than 10,000 people."
Scout reports.Li Chengdong asked, "Can you see the banner clearly?"
”The scout hugged his fists, "Dashuai, there are three general flags, and the banners are Tian, Ma, and Yang!"
”The general army was a rare species in the Ming Dynasty, and there were no twenty members in the country earlier, and the late Ming Dynasty began to be indiscriminately sealed, but it was also a top military attaché, and it could still be recognized.Li Chengdong was silent for a while, and the generals all gathered around, and after a while, he said: "This Tian, Ma, Yang, if Ben Shuai is not mistaken, Tian is Tian Xiong, Ma is Ma Degong, and Yang should be Yang Chengzu." ”Zhao Ming's face sank, "Is it a plot against Huang Jingnan and handed over Emperor Anzong to Tian Xiong and Ma Degong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?"
”Last year, Emperor Hongguang fled to Wuhu, entered the camp of Huang Degong, Bolo, Nikan and Liu Liangzuo chased him, when the two armies faced each other, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong colluded with the Qing army, and the secret arrow shot Huang Degong, causing Huang Degong to commit suicide in defeat.After the defeat of the Ming army, the two immediately entered the camp and captured Emperor Hongguang, wanting to exchange for wealth, Tian Xiong carried Hongguang on his back, and Ma Degong hugged Emperor Hongguang's feet tightly behind, for fear that the glory and wealth in his hands would fly away.Emperor Hongguang cried and begged the two of them, but to no avail, so he bit Tian Xiong's neck with hatred, and his clothes were full of blood.Emperor Hongguang was extremely resentful, but these two people had no shame and dedicated Emperor Hongguang to Duoduo.When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were many traitors, some of them saw the general trend and went to the Qing, some were afraid of death and surrendered, and some were for the future, but in order to surrender to the Qing, the two of them first secretly promoted the boss who trusted them, and then personally tied up their emperor to surrender to the Qing, which is really unique.Even if such a person is cut with a thousand knives, he can't atone for his sins, and he can't eliminate the hatred in Zhao Ming's heart."
Yes, it's two of them!"
Li Chengdong nodded, but he was not as indignant as Zhao Ming, but said: "These two people are Huang Degong's subordinates, and their soldiers and horses are very strong, and their strength is not inferior to that of their own commander.As for Yang Chengzu, he was originally a general of Luo Rucai's troops, and later took refuge in Xingpingbo, and belonged to Xuzhou Town with Ben Shuai, and his soldiers and horses were also very capable of fighting. ”As he spoke, Li Chengdong asked people to take the map, and everyone dismounted, squatted on the ground, and spread out the map to check it carefully.After the fall of Nanjing, all the household registration and atlases of the imperial court fell into the hands of the Qing army, and some of the maps used by the Ming army now were not lost, and some were redrawn by heaven and earth.This map is redrawn, although rough, but the information is very comprehensive, the terrain along the Yangtze River, the Qing army garrison, are marked on the map.Li Chengdong said: "Ben Shuai just said that although the real Manchuria went south to Zhejiang, Jiangnan was not without the elite of the Qing army.The three divisions of Tian, Ma and Yang were the elite soldiers of the Qing army.The scout said that there were more than 10,000 people, and Ben Shuai estimated that it should be 10,000 people, and they lined up with their backs to meet Ben Shuai, which was difficult to fight!
”When the generals heard this, their faces became solemn, among the four towns in Jiangbei, Gaojie Town and Huang Degong Town were the most capable of fighting, and the generals did not expect to meet the elite of the three Qing troops so soon.Li Chengdong's general Yan Keyi said: "Marshal, the elite of the three Qing troops, lined up with their backs to the river, looking at the posture, and thinking that we will take the initiative to attack, so I am afraid that it is difficult to have a chance of winning, so it is better to retreat to Jiangyin first."
Relying on the city, see the reaction of the Qing army!
”Li Chengdong was a little moved, he knew the three Qing armies, and he also knew his strength, the chances of winning were indeed not high, and even if he won the battle, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses.Zhao Ming frowned slightly, listening to the tone of Li Chengdong and the others, he didn't seem to want to fight, his face sank, looked at everyone, and said coldly: "Li Dashuai, don't forget, the purpose of our coming here is to relieve the siege of eastern Zhejiang and force the Qing army in central Zhejiang to return to the division."
Now that you meet three traitors, you will retreat back to Jiangyin City and wait for someone to save you?
”Zhao Ming said sarcastically, and then said solemnly: "Now Zhedong is waiting for us to rescue, we have to create a momentum in Jiangnan, how can we do it without fighting a tough battle?"
Li Dashuai said that these three Qing armies are all elite, that's right, defeat them, who else can stop us?
If we lose, if we retreat, we do not achieve the goal of letting the Qing army retreat, eastern Zhejiang will be finished, Fujian will also be finished, and the world will be finished, where will you shrink at that time?
”Zhao Ming glanced at everyone, waved his fist and shouted angrily, "This battle, we must fight!"
”Li Chengdong was indeed a little hesitant, he didn't expect that as soon as he showed such a hint of meaning, Zhao Ming took the opportunity to play, and his cheek muscles couldn't help twitching, "Zhao Bo'an, who is a straight thief, Lao Tzu didn't say to withdraw!"
”After Zhao Ming finished speaking, everyone was in a lot of spirits, and finally said Li Chengdong.Li Yuanyin listened to Zhao Ming's words, and turned his elbow out again, "Father, what General Zhao said is reasonable!"
We are now the hope of Zhedong, if we retreat, what will the world do?
”Li Chengdong's face was gloomy, he stood up unhappily, puffed up his chest, and said with annoyance: "Ben Shuai didn't agree with Yan Keyi's suggestion, what are you doing, are you all a coward for Ben Shuai?"
