Chapter 224: Sweeping Shandong


When Zhao Ming was about to feel Haizhou in Mandahai, he led the fleet north and took Rizhao County, which was near the sea in Xinzhou.The Ming army opened a warehouse to release grain, responded from far and near, and gathered tens of thousands of people.Zhao Ming did not stop at Rizhao, and the fleet sailed along the coast of Shandong, all the way north.In this battle, Zhao Ming had a clear direction, that is, he went all the way north, and finally killed in the sea of Tianjin Wei.Zhao Ming was wearing armor and a red cloak, standing upright on the bow of the ship, letting the cold sea breeze blow his robes, and many soldiers on the ship saw it, and they all sighed, the handsome man was really mighty.Zhao Ming shuddered and sneezed, "Mom, it's so cold!"

”It's late October, the weather is getting colder, and the fleet may need to spend the winter in Shandong."

Where ahead?"

Zhao Ming asked loudly.Guo Zhong took out the chart, looked at it, looked up and said, "Dashuai, it's almost Dengzhou!"

”Dengzhou was originally an important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty to support Liaodong, and a large number of materials, money, food, soldiers and horses were transported from Dengzhou to Guanwai.At the beginning of the later period of Chongzhen, the Ming army gradually lost all the cities outside the pass, Dengzhou lost its original role, and after the Qing army entered the customs, Dengzhou City was even more useless, and the whole city was gradually abandoned.As soon as the Ming army fleet went north, it divided troops along the way to attack Rizhao, Jiaonan, Jiaoxian, Rushan, Wendeng, Fushan and other places.On the sea, the Ming warships lined up, the gunners pushed the artillery out of the cannon window, smashed towards Dengzhou City, a large number of Ming troops rushed into the harbor by boat, boarded the dock, and launched a momentum attack on Dengzhou City under the cover of artillery.Jinan Mansion has long been rumored, Shandong Governor Fang Dayou is panicked, he only has one Fu Biao at hand, it is not enough to defend Jinan, and he has no strength to resist Zhao Ming's attack.Inside the governor's yamen, on a cold day, Fang Dayou's head was sweating, and his hands were shaking and he was writing hard, "Haikou is menacing, breaking the sunshine and Jiaonan, and now it is trapped in Dengzhou, and the soldiers are approaching Jinan."

The people of Shandong are not attached to the people's hearts, there are Yuyuan thieves in the west, Gaoyuan Kou in the east, and now there are Haikou bandits, and the thieves are rising, and the situation is worrying.Shandong is the way of grain transportation, and is close to Hebei, if Qilu changes color, such as a sword through the chest.There are only 3,000 people under the command of the minions, plus a battalion of Ke Yongsheng, who is unable to drive out the pirates, and is willing to ask the regent to send tens of thousands of real Manchuria and gallop south in the starry night. ”After writing the beating report, Fang Dayou breathed a sigh of relief, he called his subordinates, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, hurry up this performance, expedite it for eight hundred miles, and send it to Jingshi!"

”In late October, there was a heavy snowfall in Hebei, and it was snow-capped for thousands of miles.In the snow-covered wilderness, several cavalry galloped rapidly, and a majestic city appeared in front of them.The cavalry galloped to the city gate, presented the customs clearance disc, the defender sergeant immediately moved the horse away, and the cavalry roared into the city of Beijing.The horses galloped through the streets, startling the people to dodge, and everyone talked about it, not knowing what was going on.The last time I was in such a hurry, it was a Baylor in Manchuria who was beheaded by the Ming army, who died this time?

The cavalry galloped all the way to the yamen of the military headquarters, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, grabbed the steps, and shouted urgently, "Urgent military situation, report to the regent immediately." ”The Manchu regent Dolgon, who was in the palace at this time, was furious.Zhao Mingshi entered the Huaijiang River, captured Huai'an, and robbed all the grain that was originally going to be transported to Beijing, which caused the price of grain in Beijing to soar, which made the Eight Banners and the people complain, and made Dolgon very angry.When Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the supply of grain was to rely on the rice and grain transported from the south, and after the Qing army occupied Beijing, hundreds of thousands of dependents of the Eight Banners gathered in the city, and there was no production, and the grain also had to be supplied from the south.Now that Cao rice has been robbed by Zhao Ming, the price of grain in Beijing has doubled, and it is difficult to celebrate the New Year, and the government and the opposition are very dissatisfied."

Hong Chengchou, a dog minion, swore to promise the king that he would guard Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the king wanted to ask him, isn't Lianghuai his defense area?"

Dolgon was furious, and already wanted to take down Hong Chengchou and replace him with another governor.In the public house, many officials lowered their heads, and everyone was as quiet as a cicada, knowing that Hong Chengchou and Man Dahai might be unlucky.However, everyone did not dare to gloat, Haikou entered the Yangtze River, fought in western Zhejiang, killed Boluo, the general of Zhengnan, and annihilated 50,000 Qing troops, and everyone did not dare to take Hong Chengchou's position.Dol Roll was extremely angry in his heart, he was not only angry that Hong Chengchou did not guard Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but a sense of fear rose in his heart.This kind of feeling, Dolgon did not have before, losing a land, eating a defeat, is not terrible, what is terrible is that he and the Manchu court, there seems to be no way to solve the opponent.Recently, Dol Roll received a series of beating reports, Man Dahai drove Huai'an from Yangzhou, Zhao Tiebang fled to Haizhou, and when Man Dahai arrived in Haizhou, Zhao Tiebang fled to Shandong.The opponent maneuvered at sea, the Qing army could not detect the movement of the Ming army at all, did not know where the next attack target was, only when the Ming army landed, can we know where the Ming army attacked, but when the main force of the Qing army rushed over, the city had fallen, and the Haikou had entered the sea, so that the Qing army was exhausted.This made Dolgon suddenly feel that the seemingly powerful Eight Banners actually had weaknesses and opponents that could not be solved.Dol Roll felt a little uneasy about this.At this time, an official hurriedly entered the public room, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Regent, Shandong Governor Fang Dayou is in a hurry!"

”Hearing that it was an urgent report, Dolgon's brows furrowed, and after a moment's hesitation, he took the fold.On October 14, the Haikou fell into Rizhao, on the 17th in Jiaonan, on the 18th in Jiaoxian, and on the 22nd in Wendeng.Dolgon's face was gloomy, he opened the emergency report and hurriedly read it, only to feel a dizziness in his head, he leaned on the table, and suddenly became furious, "The pirates are rampant!

”"Regent, how is Shandong?"

Fan Wencheng asked boldly.Dolgon's chest rose and fell, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Haikou have captured Denglai, and the bandits will attack Qingzhou, and the situation in Shandong is mostly eroded." ”When Fan Wencheng and the others heard this, their faces also changed greatly, Shandong is close to Beizhili, if it is occupied by the Haikou Bandits, it will not only cut off the Cao Yun, but also threaten Beijing, and the layout of the Great Qing Kingdom will be completely disrupted."

Regent, the minions think that the top priority is to quickly increase troops in Shandong to defeat Haikou!"

Fan Wencheng immediately clenched his fists.Dolgon was pacing back and forth in the hall, when he suddenly stopped, and in anger he ordered, "Tell the king's will, reprimand Mandahai, and ask him how to lead the soldiers."

Then he ordered the commander of the escort army, Jueluo Bahana, Bei Zi Yuele, and the Han army was white-flaged and solidified the mountain stone Tingzhu, and the commander led 20,000 elites to go south under the starry night. ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, ask for a booklist) ()
