On the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there are corpses of the green camp everywhere, broken guns and broken flags, and ownerless war horses, covering the land.In this battle, the Qing army of 15,000 people, lined up with the back of the river, only more than 4,000 people fled, the three members of the Qing army, Ma Degong and Yang Chengzu escaped, and Tian Xiong was captured by Zhao Ming.One part of the Ming army stayed on the east bank to clean up the battlefield and harvest heads, and one part crossed the Grand Canal and went straight to Zhenjiang.The defenders of Zhenjiang were frightened by the battle on the east bank of the canal, and saw the defeat of the Qing army, and were smashed by the Zhenyuan more than 20 cannons.Zhenjiang is an important node of Cao Yun, the city is rich, in addition, there are many ships.Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming fought all the way to Zhenjiang, and Wang Deshun ran over, "General, a large amount of grain, silver, and military funds have been found in the city!"
”Li Chengdong raised his eyebrows, showed joy, and said seriously, "This must be divided!"
”Zhao Ming had a boat, and the Taiping camp crossed the river first, so the Taiping camp advanced Zhenjiang City."
Split your mother!"
Zhao Ming was unhappy when he heard that he wanted to divide, but he didn't show it on his face, but wiped the blood on his face, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is not panicking, it is imperative that we gather people and horses, march westward, and approach Nanjing!"
As for the seizure, you can let people count it first, and then divide it later!
”There are only two Qing soldiers in Jiangnan who can fight, one is Xuzhou Town, and the other is Luzhou Town left by Huang Degong, Li Chengdong just defeated Yang Chengzu in Xuzhou Town, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong in Luzhou Town, and the rest of the green battalion soldiers are not his opponents.Now that the elite of the Qing army in Jiangnan has been defeated in Zhenjiang, it is the moment when Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming show their skills, and if they wait for the Qing army from other places to arrive, they will have no chance.When Li Chengdong heard this, he nodded, "General Zhao is right, let's send troops to Nanjing now!"
”Zhao Ming said: "Li Dashuai wait for me for a moment!"
”Li Chengdong frowned slightly, it is you who are going to send troops, and you are the one who is waiting for you, what about teasing this handsome?
Zhao Ming continued to explain: "Nanjing is where Taizu's mausoleum is located, I need to prepare!
”During the Tang-Lu dispute, Zhu Yihai played the slogan of recovering Jinling first and worshipping the filial piety tomb as the emperor in order to fight against Emperor Longwu.Li Chengdong, a capricious butcher covered in blood, can be the chief soldier, and Zhao is only a guerrilla, which is really unreasonable.Li Chengdong didn't realize Zhao Ming's intentions, and waved his hand, "Then you hurry up, I'll let the striker go first!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at Li Chengdong with disdain, arched his hand, and came to the city with Wang Deshun, and ordered: "You go and collect all the white cloths in the city, and then tear them into pieces and distribute them to the soldiers to make silk clothes." ”On the east bank of the Grand Canal, the Ming soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield cut off all the heads of the Qing army, and they didn't care about the light, and the three heads were tied with pigtails and thrown directly on the car, and the weapons and armor were also taken away and loaded on the big boat.When the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield and crossed the river to the west bank, Zhao Ming also came out of the city.Li Chengdong was about to send someone to urge, but he saw Zhao Ming galloping over on horseback, which attracted the attention of the soldiers."
Li Dashuai, let's go!"
Zhao Ming was wearing a fine fish-scale armor, a heart guard on his chest, a white cloak behind his back, a phoenix-winged helmet on his head, a white cloth tied to the helmet, and he was full of vegetarian clothes and hugged his fists angrily.The muscles on Li Chengdong's face twitched, this guy asked Ben Shuai to wait for an hour, just to change his outfit and see that he was clean, and it was estimated that he took a shower before coming out.Zhao Ming was originally going to smash Tian Xiong to death with a stick, but he saw that he had a good armor, so he withdrew some strength, just smashed Tian Xiong unconscious, and then stripped off his armor.Zhao Ming is tall and strong, and when he wears the armor of the general soldier, his momentum is immediately different, and he can compete with Li Chengdong."
Let's go!"
Li Chengdong said unhappily, and then looked at the Taiping camp soldiers behind Zhao Ming, everyone was vegetarian, and couldn't help frowning: "What's going on?"
”Zhao Ming said: "Didn't you say it?
To worship the tomb of filial piety!
”Li Chengdong frowned and said, "You are well prepared!"
”Li Chengdong thought that Zhao Ming was just loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he paid so much attention to details, he didn't really care if he was Ming Ming Dynasty, and he didn't respect Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't pay so much attention to it.Zhao Ming came to He Wencheng's side with a horse and said with a smile: "Brother Chang Geng, I want to sacrifice to the tomb of filial piety, worship Taizu, you can help write a sacrificial text!"
”He Wencheng shook his feather fan, bowed his head slightly, and said with deep meaning: "Brother Bo'an, it is a feat that this move can inspire the morale of the people.Since Brother Bo'an doesn't dislike my writing, then I'll be ugly. ”Zhao Ming saw He Wencheng responding, and his heart became excited, this time I will definitely move the world!
In the east of Nanjing, in the inner Guo Shence Gate, Hong Chengchou, who had just left the city for a day, led 10,000 Qing troops to withdraw to Nanjing City.10,000 Qing troops rushed into the city, causing the people in the city to be suspicious, not to say that they were going to exterminate the pirates, why did they come back so quickly, could it be that the Qing army suffered a defeat?
Just when rumors spread in Nanjing, Hong Chengchou hurriedly ordered that martial law should be imposed in the city, and the army should be carefully investigated, and the army should hurry up the deployment, and at the same time urgently send men and horses out of the city to Wuhu and Anqing in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time send fast horses to Zhezhong to inform Duoduo of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.Previously, Zhao Ming occupied Chongming and attacked the Yangtze River, Hong Chengchou understood Zhao Ming's intentions and thought that he could deal with Zhao Ming, so he never sent a letter to Duoduo.Now, the situation is different, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong have the ability to shake Jiangnan, so he has to report truthfully, but he still did not ask Duoduo to return immediately.On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather is not so cold, and the soldiers of the Qing army are busy carrying arrows, wood, stones, fire oil and other things on the city wall that is more than three zhang wide, and preparing the equipment to defend the city.Just on the city, when the Qing army was busy, in the wilderness in the distance, a Ming army sentry appeared, and then more figures gradually appeared behind him.The guards on the city soon found a figure in the distance, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble, the Ming army really dared to kill the city of Nanjing, the guards stared at the wilderness in a daze, and suddenly shouted urgently, "There is an enemy!"
Hurry up and report to the middle hall!
”When Hong Chengchou rushed to the gate of Waiguo Yaofang, the Qing soldiers at the head of the city were hugging the wall, looking out of the city, and there were many discussions.Seeing this, the commander of the capital standard on the guard Hong Chengchou couldn't help frowning and shouting, "Lord Zhongtang has arrived!"
”When the Qing soldiers heard the sound, they turned around one after another, Hong Chengchou saw the fear on their faces, and his heart couldn't help but froze, frowned, and walked quickly to the city wall.Outside the city, nearly 10,000 Ming troops have been killed under the city, thousands of Ming soldiers, all dressed in plain clothes, each carrying two heads, walked to the city wall 300 steps away, threw the heads in their hands on the ground, and five high hills have been piled up."
What is this?"
The Manchu officials who followed Hong Chengchou to the city were immediately frightened when they saw this, not only them, but also the green battalion soldiers who defended the city.After all, Hong Chengchou is an old superintendent, and he has seen a little battle, and when he saw that the people behind him were not calm, he immediately shouted angrily: "Don't panic, this pirate is messing with our army's heart, and reinforcements will arrive soon!"
