Chapter 223: The Crazy Manda Sea


The supplies of Huai'an City, as well as the boats on the canal, were swept away by the Ming army, and the people inside and outside the city also took their families and took the boat away.The boat could not be loaded, so they went to Haizhou on foot.The people are generally reluctant to leave their hometowns, but once Zhao Ming is persecuted, and second, they are worried that the Qing army will come back and slaughter them.Zhao Ming left Li Huazhong and others to continue to resist the great cause of the Qing Dynasty in Lianghuai, and wantonly sealed the official Xu Jue, he wrote empty checks on behalf of the imperial court, planted nails in Lianghuai, and often harassed the Qing army, making Lianghuai unpeaceful and destroying the Manchu Qing Dynasty's strategy of stabilizing the rear.The Ming army swept both sides of the Huai River, seized a large number of supplies and ships, expanded the fleet to more than 1,200 ships, increased the number of personnel by tens of thousands, and withdrew from the Huai River.Zhao Ming immediately ordered Xu Fuyuan to lead a part of the boats to sail along the coast to transport the people to Chongming, and some of the remaining ships transported supplies to Kaishan Island, and some of them went north along the coast to Haizhou.Haizhou is also the Lianyungang area, when Zhao Ming and others sailed all the way to Haizhou, more than 200,000 people had gathered on Yuzhoushan Island.Yuzhou Mountain Island was called Yuzhou in ancient times, at this time the sediment has not been accumulated in large quantities, and Yuzhou Mountain has not yet been connected to the mainland, it is a considerable island.Everyone will learn from Haizhou, and they are all confident and have found their own advantages.Deep on land, the Ming army in the East China Sea could not defeat the Qing army, but the coastal mobile attack harassed, but the Qing army had no way to take the Ming army in the East China Sea.For a while, everyone was quite excited and got together to talk.At this time, in the temporary festival hall, everyone's faces were excited, Zhao Ming sat in the middle hall, quite complacent: "The Qing army will defend Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the commander will fight two Huai, deploy two Huai, this commander will fight Shandong, we will drive directly to Hebei, and when the Qing army returns to defend Beijing, the commander will fight Jiangsu and Zhejiang again!"

See what Dolgon can do to me!

”Wang Chaoxian and other generals echoed: "The marshal is right, the coastal defense is thousands of miles, and it is impossible for Qinggou to prevent us!"

”Lianghuai has just been harvested in autumn, and on Yuzhou Mountain Island, the grain is piled up, and everyone has tasted the sweetness.In this case, the two are eroded, and there are displaced people everywhere.Zhao Ming saw that everyone was happy, but he actually had some hidden worries in his heart, although the attack could contain the Qing army, it would not be able to gain a foothold on the mainland, and it would also ruin his reputation.Zheng Chenggong entrenched in Xiamen, but failed to recover the coast, and established a solid stronghold on land, first, he could not stand on his own and could not win the Qing army, and second, Zheng Chenggong collected heavy taxes on the occupied land in order to raise troops and obtain food, so that the Fujian people who originally supported him were gradually unable to do so and slowly changed their attitude.Zhao Ming needs to be vigilant about this, and the method he adopted was to offend a group and win over a group.Lianghuai is quite for Shandong, relatively rich, is the Qing court's grain, salt production area, Zhao Ming must destroy, and will not have scruples, and Shandong is quite barren, the Qing army can not collect money and grain, the local people hate the Manchu Qing, Zhao Ming is thankless to search, there is no need to offend the people of Shandong.In Shandong, Zhao Ming was not ready to adopt the strategy of Lianghuai, but was ready to break the city, so he ascended to the heights and shouted, providing money, food, and ordnance to fund the anti-Qing forces in Shandong.At this time, everyone in the hall was quite excited, but a general hurried in and reported: "Dashuai, Manda Hai to cross the Huai River, is coming to Haizhou, Xuzhou and Guide Qing army, has also turned eastward, only fifty miles away from Haizhou. ”Before the words fell, another scout entered the hall, rushed in, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Report!"

Qi Yu Marshal, Shandong Yanzhou, Yizhou and other places of the Qing army south, straight to Haizhou. ”Zhao Ming and the generals heard this, but they were very calm, the army was stationed on Yuzhou Mountain Island, and the Qing army was a million, and everyone was not panicking.At this time, Xia Wanchun said: "Marshal, it seems that our goal of mobilizing the Qing army has been achieved!"

”Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "Xiao Yin, you are the imperial court supervisor, so you will go to Caozhou and contact the Yuyuan army." ”Xia Wanchun arched his hand and said: "A few months ago, Liu Zeqing sent people to the south, saying that his general Li Huajing was already in the Yuyuan army, and I would persuade the Yuyuan army to cooperate with the commander and disturb Shandong." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and then said to his subordinate scribe Wang Jiaqin: "Di Yi, you can go to Gaoyuan County and contact Xie Qian, the leader of the Gaoyuan Army, and ask him to meet him in Qingzhou." ”Wang Jiaqin hugged his fists and said: "The student takes the order!"

”Zhao Ming immediately glanced at everyone, "The rest of the people, follow Ben Shuai along the coast, first go to Rizhao, then hit Jiaoxian, attack Dengzhou, Laizhou, and finally go straight to the Bohai Sea!"

”When all the generals heard this, they immediately clenched their fists together, "The last general will take the order." ”Guo Zhong saluted and said, "Humble duty, let's go and order the fleet to prepare!"

”Zhao Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not busy, when Mandahai arrives, it's not too late to leave." ”Everyone reacted, and the army was stationed on the island, and even if the Qing troops from all walks of life chased after them, they could not help them.A day later, the Qing army in Xuzhou first arrived in Haizhou, and then the Qing troops in Yizhou and Yanzhou also entered the northern suburbs of Haizhou.After Man Dahai learned the news of Zhao Mingshi's entry into the Huaijiang River, after consulting with Hong Chengchou, he immediately went to Yangzhou and mobilized 30,000 Qing troops to go north.After his army arrived in Gaoyou, he met Kong Xigui, who had fled from Huai'an, and was immediately shocked and angry.The Huaijiang River is very close to the Yangtze River, even if Zhao Ming attacks the Huai generals, the Qing army in Jiangbei can be quickly reinforced, and the city can be controlled in a few days, but who wants Huai'an City to not hold on for a day, it was broken by Zhao Ming.This made Man Dahai furious and wanted to kill Kong Xigui, but Kong Xigui hurriedly explained, slandering that there were people in the city who opened the city and surrendered, so he abandoned the city in a hurry.Mandahai angrily pursued to Huai'an, Zhao Ming had withdrawn, he heard that a Ming army was in Haizhou, so the army went north and drove Haizhou County.Along the way, Mandahai galloped on horseback, full of ruined villages, burned houses, and displaced people fleeing in all directions.This made the muscles on Man Dahai's face move, but he didn't expect Zhao Ming to be so ruthless and be able to attack the Han people.On 16 October, the Qing army in Jiangnan led by Man Dahai rushed to Haizhou, and the Qing troops drawn from various places arrived one after another, and 50,000 or 60,000 Qing troops had gathered near Haizhou.At this time, the Qing army had just set up camp, and Mandahai was ready to discuss how to capture Yuzhou Mountain Island, but a scout came in and reported urgently: "Qi Beile Ye, Shandong Yizhou Mansion urgently report, Haikou attacked Rizhao, opened a warehouse to release grain, and gathered tens of thousands of thieves." ”In the center of the big tent, Man Dahai, who was sitting upright, heard the words, the muscles on his face immediately twitched unconsciously, he covered his face with both hands, lowered his head for a while, was silent for a while, and then kicked the desk in front of him violently, grabbed and roared, "Zhao Zamao, straight to your mother!"
