Chapter 135: The Fall of Eastern Zhejiang


In the first month, the land of eastern Zhejiang is cold and cold.From the official road to the south of Shaoxing Mansion and Ningbo Mansion, a large number of Qing soldiers marched southward.On the road in front of the Qing army, the corpses of the Ming army could be seen everywhere, and behind them was the land of eastern Zhejiang, where thick smoke was billowing out.In front of the Qing army, inside and outside a large camp, covered with corpses, the watchtower in front of the camp gate fell to the ground, the wall and the horse rejection pile were overturned, and the wooden piles were scattered.Most of the tents in the camp were burned or splattered with blood, and the ground was littered with knives, guns, shields, corpses of Ming soldiers, and military flags emitting green smoke.After the Qing army captured Yanzhou in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River, bypassed the Ming army's river defense, and attacked Jinhua, Boluo attacked Jinhua City, but was blocked by Zhu Dadian under the city.Seeing that he could not quickly capture Jinhua and insert himself into Taizhou, Bolo immediately changed his strategy and left more than 10,000 Qing troops to monitor Jinhua City, while he personally led 30,000 Qing soldiers to advance eastward and enter Shaoxing, preparing to outflank the main force of the Ming army on the front line of Fuchun and Qiantang.After Zhu Yihai learned that Yanzhou had fallen and the Qing army had invaded Jinhua, he knew that the river defense could not be defended.So the main force of nearly 100,000 Zhejiang troops fought a race with the 30,000 Qing troops outflanked from the flanks.100,000 Zhejiang soldiers retreated south in a hurry, wanting to flee to Ningbo before Boluo cut off the retreat of the Zhejiang army, and then rebuild the defense line to resist.On the fifth day of the first lunar month, at the beginning of the Battle of Zhenjiang, Zhu Yihai fled into Ningbo Mansion before Boluo killed Huiji.At this time, the whole line of Jiangfang collapsed, Duoduo led the army to chase to Shaoxing, after the division in Boluo, more than 100,000 Qing troops, poured into eastern Zhejiang, and began to ruthlessly pursue the Ming army.On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Boluo chased to Ningbo, after Wang Zhiren broke off, Yu Yin County was defeated by the Qing army, 30,000 Ming troops suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers scattered and fled, or fled east into the sea, to the Zhoushan Islands, or to the west into the Siming Mountains.The benevolence of the prince of Yueguo, who was defeated and captured, cried bitterly, "Zheng Zhilong, who is bad for the world, the elite of the northern soldiers are all gathered in Zhejiang, and the army of Fujian is 100,000.Today's defeat is the only death!

”Seeing that Wang Zhiren did not surrender, Bolo asked Wang Zhiren to be hanged, abandoned his body by the Yin River, and was later collected by the local people and buried on the bank of Dongqian Lake.The Qing army occupied eastern Zhejiang, university scholars Xie Sanbin, Song Zhipu, Fang Fengnian and others surrendered, military generals Chen Xueguan and others also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Dai and others saw that things were not good, fled into the area ruled by the Qing army, followed the Qing system to shave their hair, and regarded themselves as the "remnants" of the Ming Dynasty.With the main force of the Qing army entering eastern Zhejiang, the anti-Qing situation in Zhejiang immediately collapsed, which discouraged many anti-Qing people, either surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, or shaved their hair to become a Shunmin, Shaoxing and Ningbo Prefectures, completely fell into the hands of Duoduo.On the ninth day of the first month, Duoduo ordered Boluo to continue the pursuit, the Qing army caught up with the Zhejiang soldiers again in Fenghua, Fang Guoan and Bolo fought for a while, then led the army to continue to run south, the Ming army was defeated by the Qing army again, the scholar Zhang Guowei, Dali Temple Shaoqing Chen Qianfu, did not keep up with the army, was trapped in Fenghua County, committed suicide and martyrdom, and died with nearly 100 people.Bolo fought successively, chased Zhu Yihai closely, did not catch him, and never rested.The Qing army pursued all the way, and when it reached the Fengshuling of Tiantai Mountain at the junction of Ningbo and Taizhou, it was ambushed by Zhang Mingzhen and lost nearly 1,000 people before it stopped the pursuit, and the Zhejiang soldiers barely stood firm on the front line of Gaozhou.At this time, less than 40,000 soldiers and horses fled into Taizhou of 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers, and half of them were killed or defeated by the Qing army, and the losses were heavy.The battle of eastern Zhejiang has been carried out here, and there seems to be no suspense, although the terrain of Maple Ridge is dangerous, it is unrealistic to stop the Qing army from attacking and blocking the Qing army.Duoduo waited in Ningbo for Bolo to catch Zhu Yihai's news, but he didn't want to receive the news that the former army was ambushed, which made Duoduo, who didn't plan to take action in person, lead his troops to leave Ningbo, preparing to sweep Taizhou and Wenzhou in one fell swoop, sweep away the Ming army in Zhejiang, and prepare for the capture of Fujian.…… Taizhou Mansion, on Maple Ridge, in the Ming military camp.Zhu Yihai, Fang Guoan, Zhang Mingzhen and others were discussing the situation and found that they were really at a loss.The difference in strength is too great, the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang is not the opponent of the Qing army at all, relying on the remnants of eastern Zhejiang, it is powerless to turn the tide of the war.At this time, when several people were discussing, the one-eyed Fang Shiyan suddenly came in and said in a panic: "Your Highness, Duoduo is here!"

”Zhu Yihai's face sank, revealing a hint of panic, "So fast!"

”Maple Ridge is located at the eastern foot of Tiantai Mountain, west of Xiangshan Port, close to the harbor, and the terrain is dangerous.At this time, Zhu Yihai and others stood on the top of the mountain, looking north, only to see a stream of people like a giant python in the distance, entering the Qing army camp under the mountain.Everyone looked at the Qing army and saw the Eight Banners soldiers in various colors of armor entering the camp, thousands of Qing troops had entered the camp in front, and the Qing army still couldn't see the tail behind, and Zhu Yihai and others had hard faces."

How's that okay?"

The surrounding ministers were a little panicked.Zhu Yihai said: "Now I can only ask Fujian for help again!"

”The current strength of the Zhejiang soldiers can no longer change their own fate, and only the intervention of external forces can stabilize the situation.Now the closest to the Zhejiang soldiers is Fujian, Zhu Yihai can't think of any other way, he can only hope that Fujian can see the truth of the cold lips and teeth and send troops to reinforce it.Zhang Huangyan immediately clenched his fists, "Your Highness, the minister is willing to go to Fujian, Chen said that it is very powerful, and he begs Fujian to send troops!"

”Zhu Yihai looked at Zhang Huangyan and said, "Please leave this matter to Aiqing." ”Zhang Huangyan saluted solemnly and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the minister will do his best to persuade Fujian!"

”After speaking, Zhang Huangyan immediately turned around, left the mountain, made a little preparation, and went straight to Fujian.Zhang Mingzhen watched the Qing army's strength increase greatly, and expected that Fengshuling would not last long, and Zheng Zhilong might not send troops, so he suddenly hugged his fists, "Your Highness, this place will be guarded by the ministers, and Your Highness will quickly move to Wenzhou."

If things don't work, you should enter Fujian, or go out to sea!

”Zhu Yihai waved his hand and said, "No, I want to stay here!"

”Zhang Mingzhen, Fang Guoan and others: "Your Highness is the prince of the country, you can't afford to lose, as long as Your Highness is here, there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty, and please ask Your Highness to move, you can't let the soldiers sacrifice in vain!"

”Zhu Yihai was teary-eyed when he heard this, so he fled to Wenzhou under the escort of Fang Guoan.…… At the foot of the mountain, in the Qing army camp, many Qing generals stood outside the tent to welcome the arrival of Duoduo."

Lord Yu!"

Bolo and the others saw Duoduo coming over surrounded by the white-armored cavalry, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.Seeing this, Duoduo waved his hand, "Take this king into the camp!"

”In the big tent of the Qing army, Duoduo sat upright, and Bolo and others stood on both sides."

What is the situation now?"

”Bo Luo hurriedly said: "Back to the prince, the barbarians are based on the mountains and block the way of our army, but the prince will give me some time, and I will definitely defeat the barbarians!"

”Duoduo frowned slightly and said: "Act faster, shoot people to Fujian, stabilize Zheng Zhilong, and when Zhu Yihai is defeated, this king will clean him up and destroy Fujian in one fell swoop!"
