Chapter 147: Duoduo retreats


February 18, noon, Lime Mountain.The earth-shattering shouts and rumbling explosions have been going on for more than half a month.Under normal circumstances, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong could not be the opponents of Kong Youde and the 40,000 Qing army, but the Ming army relied on the lime mountain and defended it by the mountain, which was equivalent to defending the city, and it was difficult for Kong Youde to defeat the Ming army.By the time Kong Youde arrived in Nanjing, Zhao Ming had already completed the relocation of the camp and built simple fortifications on the lime mountain.A Ming army, entrenched in Nanjing, did not leave, the impact was really bad, after Kong Youde arrived, without the slightest hesitation, he ordered the Qing army to attack.For many days, the Qing army continued to attack, and the Ming army guarding the mountain occupied a high place, and continued to shoot and suppress with bows and arrows and firearms.The war tempered the army, and those soldiers who had just been recruited grew rapidly in the war, especially Zhao Ming's Taiping Battalion, which made rapid progress in the war and gradually became more elite.At this time, the Qing army, which had been frustrated in the attack, retreated again, and after a short gathering, they were ready to launch the next attack.Zhao Ming stood at the top of the mountain, looking down at the retreating Qing army at the bottom of the mountain, but he was very worried and looked a little melancholy.Not long ago, Zhao Ming had learned that the Qing army had captured Shaoxing and Ningbo, the prince of Xingguo was killed in battle, and the Qing army had invaded Taizhou.The Ming army in Zhejiang suffered heavy losses under Duoduo's attack, and Zhu Yihai had already retreated to Wenzhou, and he didn't know what the situation was.Xia Wanchun stood beside Zhao Ming, "The general is worried about the situation in Zhejiang?"

”Zhao Ming nodded, then shook his head again, "I'm really worried about Zhejiang, but I'm even more worried about Fujian!"

”Xia Wanchun frowned slightly, "Could something happen in Fujian?"

”Zhao Ming glanced at Xia Wanchun, although Xia Xiaoyin was wise, but after all, he didn't open his eyes, how could he know that Zheng Zhilong was stupid and incomprehensible, and he was very likely to clear it at this time."

The Qing army has entered Taizhou, and the soldiers are close to Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong will face the threat of the Qing army.I don't think this person has a sense of loyalty, he only values the selfish interests of the Zheng family, and I am worried that he will vote for it!

”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice.Xia Wanchun was a little unconvinced: "The land of Fujian, surrounded by mountains on three sides, faces the sea on the other, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not conducive to the gallop of the Qing army.Zheng Taishi has 100,000 male soldiers, rich and rival the country, he may not be able to fight, will he not be Cao Cao, but directly take refuge in Jiannu?

”Zheng Zhilong's strength is not weak, Fujian is the base camp of the Zheng family, it has been operating for more than ten years, and it is fully capable of fighting, and Zheng Zhilong has the capital to do Cao Cao.The Zheng family had soldiers and money, and it was possible to help the Ming Dynasty defeat the Manchus first, and then replace the capital.Zhao Ming is not easy to explain, in history, Zheng Zhilong did directly surrender."

Zheng Zhilong's eyes are narrow, if he were Cao Cao, he would have already sent troops to rescue!"

Zhao Ming sighed and said, "Now I can only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can hold Wentai, so that the Qing army cannot directly threaten Fujian, so that Zheng Zhilong feels that there is still room for maneuver, and he will not immediately do something wrong that everyone is angry with." ”Zhao Ming is not loyal to the Ming Dynasty in his heart, he has the world in his heart, if Zheng Zhilong wants to be Cao Cao, Zhao Ming is not against it, after all, he will do things for Cao Cao, and if Zheng Zhilong is willing to do things for the world, the situation will not collapse to this point.Zheng Zhilong is obviously not as good as Cao Cao, if Cao knows that someone compares Zheng Zhilong with him, I'm afraid he won't be happy, this is simply an insult, and Zhao Ming must be hacked to death.With Zheng Zhilong's businessman nature, he must pursue the maximization of interests, if Fujian is not directly threatened by the Qing army, he should not surrender to the Qing army, but if the Qing army is in Fujian, it is difficult to say.If Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Longwu was killed as in history, the Ming Dynasty would really become a lump of mud and could not be supported.Therefore, now is a very critical time node for the Ming Dynasty.If Zhu Yihai can't stand it and let the Qing army approach Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong surrenders to the Qing Dynasty, then the situation will develop along the original track."

General, the gunpowder is running out, and there are not enough arrows."

Wang Dana held on to his helmet, climbed up the mountain, and suddenly reported.Zhao Ming stopped talking to Xia Wanchun when he heard this, reached out and took the mace, and said in a deep voice: "Then prepare to fight in close quarters and drive Qinggou down." ”After a fierce battle with Kong Youde for more than half a month, the Ming army suffered great losses, and they fought continuously, and the ordnance consumption was extremely great.The arrows and gunpowder were gone, and even the war knife was curled up after a few consecutive slashes.The Ming army had no supplies, it all relied on capture, and the equipment could not be replenished when it was consumed, and the situation was already very difficult, but Zhao Ming decided to continue to hold on, hoping to share the pressure for Zhu Yihai and prevent Duoduo from defeating Zhu Yihai and attacking Fujian.~~~~~~ eastern Zhejiang, a spring rain came unexpectedly, with a hint of chill.At the foot of Huiji Mountain, deserted villages and rice paddies are shrouded in a haze.A Qing army of more than 10,000 people marched in formation on a slightly muddy road and was speeding north.The leader of the general is General Zhunta, not long ago, he was still fighting in Taizhou, but now he was ordered to go north and return to the south of the Yangtze River.After being blocked in Maple Ridge for more than half a month, Duoduo's army finally defeated Zhang Mingzhen and entered Taizhou Mansion.Just when the Qing army came to Taizhou, besieged Zhang Mingzhen in Fucheng, and prepared to break through Taizhou, enter and occupy Wenzhou, and use it as a base to attack Fujian and force Zheng Zhilong to surrender, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong broke through Nanjing Waiguo, worshiped Ming Xiaoling, Jiangnan was boiling, and the news that the righteous army was swarming again came to the Duoduo camp.This made Duoduo extremely shocked, but he didn't expect the Ming army to actually attack Nanjing Waiguo, which made him start to worry a little that the Ming army really invaded Nanjing.Nanjing's political significance is huge, once it is recovered by the Ming army, I am afraid that Jiangnan will rebel, Zhejiang will rebel again, and then the Duoduo army will be trapped in Wentai.Duoduo began to worry about this situation, but after all, he had already sent Kong Youde to lead 40,000 elite soldiers back to help, so although Duoduo was worried, he did not order the withdrawal of the army.And just as he hesitated, a news came to his ears, which finally made Duoduo have to give up and continue to besiege Zhu Yihai's plan, and decided to lead the main force north to return to Jiangnan.This decisive news was that the remnants of the Shun army accepted the Ming Dynasty's appeasement, changed its name to the Loyal Battalion, and more than 300,000 people launched the battle of Fuchu in Huguang, and Tong Yanghe, the governor of Huguang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, urgently asked for help.Although Zhao Ming made a big enough movement in Jiangnan, and even invaded the outer Guo of Nanjing, Duoduo knew in his heart that Zhao Ming did not have many troops, as long as his army could stabilize Jiangnan as soon as he arrived.In the land of Huguang, the remnants of the Shun army accepted the command of the Ming Dynasty, but it was a problem for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Although the Qing army defeated the Shun army continuously, it has to be admitted that the Shun army was stronger than the Ming army.The Ming army basically did not dare to fight in the field of the Qing army, but the Shun army fought with the Qing soldiers in the field in a stone, Tongguan and other places.Although these battles ended with the victory of the Qing army, the Shun army was indeed a threat.Now the Huguang Shun army surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, more than 300,000 people counterattacked Hubei, and Hubei only had 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops, once the 300,000 Shun army occupied Hubei, and then took advantage of the emptiness in the south of the Yangtze River, down the river, and Zhao Ming cooperated, it would be a mortal threat to Duoduo.Zhao Ming made trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, and the loyal battalion launched the battle of Fuchu, so that Duoduo finally made up his mind to retreat.In mid-February, Duoduo left Bolo behind, led a partial division, guarded eastern Zhejiang, continued to fight against the Zhejiang soldiers, and returned north with a large army.This is after the front army of 10,000 Qing troops, a large number of Qing troops marched mightily, Duoduo rode on his war horse with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the army?"

”"Lord Wang, it's almost time to Shaoxing!"

The general next to him said.Duoduo Yin Owl's eyes showed murderous intent, "Zhao Manzi is bad for this king's big thing, he knows that this king will return to his master, and he will definitely escape to the sea!"

Ordered Zhun Tower, let it go day and night, take the lead in rushing to Songjiang, try to recover Chongming, transfer artillery to block the channel, this king wants to destroy Zhao Manzi, has relieved the hatred in his heart. ”(Thanks and go with the wind ii of 1000, the tip of the little monster of Ultra, thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, ask for a book list.) )()
