In November, the weather became colder, and the Ming army stopped in Shandong and did not continue north.After Zhao Ming led the army to arrive at the coast of Shandong, he found that the Manchu Qing army in Shandong was very thin, not that there was no garrison, but that the garrison was mostly some green battalion soldiers with worrisome combat effectiveness, and it was okay to deal with ordinary bandits.Moreover, the Qing army plundered Shandong several times that year, and after Dolgon invaded Shandong, he slaughtered 180,000 people in Jinan at one time, and took 300,000 or 400,000 Shandong people as slaves and more than 100,000 head of livestock.Later, Abatai invaded Shandong, herded horses in Shandong for half a year, plundered everywhere, committed heinous crimes, and took away three or four hundred thousand people and countless livestock before leaving.For these reasons, the Manchu rule in Shandong was very unstable and unpopular.Earlier, during the Hongguang Dynasty, the people of Shandong heard that Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing army and the Qing army entered the customs, so they immediately supported the King of Ji to resist the Qing Dynasty and recover most of Shandong.After that, the Shun general Zhao Yingyuan rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Qingzhou, launched the Qingzhou Rebellion, and supported the Ming Dynasty clan to resist the Qing Dynasty.Now most of the large and small rebel armies in Shandong have been extinguished by the Qing army, but the people of Shandong have enmity with the Qing army, and as soon as the main force of the Qing army leaves, a group of rebels will emerge.Among them, the Caozhou Yuyuan Army and the Gaoyuan Army at the junction of Jinan and Qingzhou are the most powerful.The activities of the Yuyuan Army and the western part of Shandong, in the west of the canal, had the secret support of Liu Zeqing, the former Ming Dynasty Dongpingbo, and his nephew Liu Zhiyu, and the generals Li Huajing, Zheng Longfang, Yao Wenchang and others, all secretly joined the Yuyuan Army and became the main leaders of the rebel army.After Zhao Ming asked Xia Wanchun to go to Caozhou, Liu Zhiyu and Li Huahua rebelled under the pseudonym, led more than 20,000 people, and successively conquered Caozhou, Dingtao, Chengwu, Dongming and other places.Gao Yuanjun is a righteous army that arose in central Shandong after the shaving order, and its leader Xie Qian, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and was called the first giant in Shandong by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Zhao Ming sent Wang Jiaqin to contact Xie Qian, and immediately received Xie Qian's response.In addition to these two powerful rebel armies, there were dozens of rebel armies ranging from a few hundred to a thousand people, which also responded to the Ming army.This made Zhao Ming, who was originally prepared to kill all the way to Tianjin Wei, decide to do a big job in Shandong.Shandong Province, the eastern region, stretching into the sea, Denglai two provinces are surrounded by the sea on three sides, the terrain is narrow, and the territory is mountainous, which is conducive to defense and warship maneuvering, which is not conducive to the penetration of the cavalry of the Qing army, and it is a place where it can be used.At the end of October, Zhao Ming fell into Dengzhou, broke Laizhou, at the beginning of November, and Gao Yuan's army joined the city of Qingzhou, and broke through the city of Qingzhou, the eastern part of Shandong was all anyway, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty only left Jinan, Wuding, Yizhou, Yanzhou and other places were still in the hands, and the situation was completely erosive.Outside the city of Qingzhou, the Ming army opened a warehouse to release grain, and the righteous army from all walks of life in Shandong, the copycat bandits, and the heroes of the green forest gathered in Qingzhou, and the momentum was huge.Standing at the head of Qingzhou City, looking up, there are people in all directions, different costumes, all kinds of weapons, Qingzhou, Denglai's righteous army, squire guards, bandits, miscellaneous armed forces, all dispatched, there are tens of thousands of people.At the same time, the 20,000 Qing troops who went south from Beijing, under the leadership of Jueluo Bahana and Bei Ziyue Le, rushed to Jinan City and joined forces with the governor Fang Dayou.On the other hand, the Qing army, under the leadership of Man Dahai, pursued to Rizhao and had just recovered the county seat.After Man Dahai got the news of Zhao Ming's entry into the Huaijiang River, he hurriedly led 30,000 horses to the north to reinforce him, and then chased from Huai'an to Haizhou, and from Haizhou to Shandong.Because of the hurried departure, the army did not carry much food, and Lianghuai was destroyed by the Ming army, so after Mandahai chased Haizhou, there was no food, and the army could only stop in Haizhou, until the follow-up military food was delivered, he only killed into Shandong and chased to Rizhao County.It's just that at this time, the situation in Shandong has been eroded, and every time Zhao Ming breaks a place, he opens a warehouse to release grain and gather the people, which makes the rebels swarm all over the country, and there are so many bandits that the Qing army dare not look at it.At this time, in the camp of the Qing army in Rizhao County, Man Dahai heard that Zhao Ming had captured Qingzhou, and he couldn't help but jump like thunder, and the generals in the tent bowed their heads one after another, not daring to speak out.When everyone in the tent fell silent, a soldier suddenly reported outside the tent: "Qi Beile Ye, the imperial envoy has arrived outside the camp." ”Man Dahai's heart sank, the imperial court sent an envoy over at this time, it would definitely not be to come to commend him, it would definitely be a reprimand.Manda Hai got retribution, his cheeks were agitated, and his heart was ashamed, but he had no choice but to invite the messenger into the handsome tent!
The Manchu envoy was Sun Zhiqi, a native of Shandong who hung the title of secretary of the military department, and he was ashamed because he attached to the shaving order, and even the Han officials in the Manchu court looked down on him, and excluded him, so that he could not gain a foothold in Beijing, and the shaving order was implemented, and Dol Luo still needed to thank him, so he found him an errand to pass the decree.Sun Zhiqi entered the tent and greeted Mandahai, and when Mandahai knelt down, he immediately unfolded the edict and read aloud: "The general of the expedition to the south of the country, Dorobelle Mandahai, said: Erzhen guards the south of the Yangtze River, holds more than 100,000 male soldiers, and spends thousands of dollars and food, and the Haikou breaks into the Huai River and robs the grain, where are the soldiers?"
Haikou broke through Shandong County, where are the soldiers?
Now he has ordered the commander of the escort army, Jueluo Bahana, to lead an army of 20,000 to the south to help Er, and he should quickly break through the Haikou, and he can still succeed as the general of the expedition to the south!
If Lu Province is eroded, let the pirates run rampant, and they will be severely punished!
”After Sun Zhiqi finished reading, he saw that Man Dahai's face was gloomy, and reminded: "Lord Belle will take the order!"
”Man Dahai was ashamed and indignant in his heart, his cheeks bulged, and he kowtowed to accept the order.…… November 10, Qingzhou Mansion.After winter, the north was cold and frozen, and the Qing army reinforcements entered Shandong, Zhao Ming's army stopped in Qingzhou and did not take advantage of the situation to recover Jinan.At this time, although the weather was cold, but for the Qing army, it was a piece of cake, the Qing army that entered Jinan, and the Mandahai that chased into Shandong, was very likely to invade Ludong, so the Ming army and the righteous army did not dare to be careless.Both sides felt that a big war would break out on the land of Shandong, and everyone was vigilant and cheered up.On this day, Zhao Ming was talking with Xie Qian and the others, but a scout rushed into the temporary festival hall."
Dashuai, there is an urgent report ahead!"
The scout is on one knee.Zhao Ming was roasting with Xie Qian, and when he heard the words, he stood up, "What's the matter?"
”"The righteous army in front has reported that two Qing troops are coming to Qingzhou!"
The scout looked up and said urgently.
