In 1649, the fifth year of Longwu, the fifth day of the first month.On the official road leading from Ningde County to Fuzhou, more than 40,000 Zhejiang soldiers marched quickly along the road.The main force of the Ming army walked on the official road, and on the ridges of the road on both sides, it was also the marching infantry army, and the teams of men and horses meandered, like a big python swimming forward.In the middle of the army, under a Phnom Penh royal flag, Zhu Yihai wore a scarlet dragon robe, a winged crown, and rode slowly.Zhao Ming was wearing silver armor, a red cloak, a mace, riding a miscellaneous horse to follow the side, and more than 100 generals behind him, the military power was very strong.Everyone rode on horses, looking ahead, the Ming cavalry scouts in the distance came out, exploring the way for the army, and countless infantry troops in the near distance did not walk in a straight line, but bent the march, and the eyes were all moving helmets, dense armor and soldiers.Straight-line marches, when attacked, are easy to be divided and surrounded, and when marching in Zhejiang, they usually march in an "S" shape.The advantage of this marching formation is that it can take care of both the end and the end to prevent being cut off by the enemy, and in the event of an attack, the various units can quickly join each other to form a battle formation, gather the largest number of troops in the shortest possible time, and prevent deserters and non-commissioned soldiers from falling behind.Later generations of the Taiping Army, as well as the People's Liberation Army, used this formation when marching.The various units of the Ming army meandered forward, and the ranks stretched for several miles, and the scene was extremely spectacular.At this time, under the banner of Daxu, Zhao Ming was riding proudly on a miscellaneous horse, introducing the terrain in front of Zhu Yihai.At the beginning, Zhao Ming killed Zheng Zhibao in Fujing, fled alone, and walked the road from Fujing to Zhejiang with both feet, so he was quite familiar with the terrain of Fujian."
Your Highness, there is Lianjiang County ahead!
This is where our battlefield is chosen!
”Zhao Ming lifted the mace, pointed ahead and said.Zhu Yihai asked: "Why did you choose this place for field battles, how sure are you Bo'an!"
”"Your Highness will know when you see it!"
Zhao Ming smiled and said: "The minister is at least sixty percent sure!"
”Saying that, Zhao Ming saw a hill in front of him, so he said, "Your Highness, please come with me!"
”After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he pulled the reins of his horse, broke away from the marching team, increased his speed, overtook the infantry in front, and galloped towards the distant hills.Fujian is mountainous and lacks arable land, many hilly forest areas have also been developed, and many terraced fields have been reclaimed, and the hills are not high, but Zhao Ming and his party galloped along the path for a while before climbing to the top of the hill.At this time, Zhao Ming and the others stood up, and Zhu Yihai looked down and seemed to understand Zhao Ming's intentions.Zhao Ming reined in the miscellaneous horses, in front of the hill where they were located, there was a slope several miles long, the slope was reclaimed into layers of terraced fields, and under the slope, there was the beach of the Lianjiang River, and the water of the Lianjiang River was like a belt, meandering and flowing below the terraced fields.Zhao Ming pointed to the terraced fields that were waterlogged because of the rain, and said to Zhu Yihai and others: "Your Highness, I will wait for Chen soldiers to be on the terraces, the Qing army will cross the Lianjiang River, gather on the river beach, and then launch an upward attack.If they rush up the ridge, the road will be winding, and if they charge down the field, they will get stuck in the mud.At this time, our army will shoot it with firearms and bombard it with artillery, and it will definitely be able to resist the attack of the Qing army!
”Zhao Ming chose Lianjiang as the place to fight with the Qing army, mainly because he took a fancy to the terrain near Lianjiang, and maybe he could help the Ming army win a great victory in Sanhe.Zhu Yihai looked at the terraced fields at his feet, and couldn't help but bow: "Bo'an chose this place, maybe it is more suitable for a decisive battle than the city!"
”Zhao Ming then continued: "As long as we block Duoduo's frontal attack in Lianjiang, the Qing army will not be able to attack for a long time, and when the army is tired, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qing army by sending a fresh army to outflank the Qing army's rear road from the sea and cut off the enemy's grain route!"
”Zhu Yihai and the generals of the Ming Army, after listening to Zhao Ming's words, they all raised their spirits."
Your Highness!
Governor!
Balefire!
”On the hill, Ding Weiyue suddenly pointed to the other side of the Lianjiang River and shouted loudly.Zhao Ming and the others hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, on the west bank of the Lianjiang River, there was thick smoke rising up, and the pillars of smoke rose to the sky, passing in the direction of Fuzhou one by one.This must be the Qing army on the other side, after discovering the Ming army, the beacon fire warned Duoduo."
Order the army to stop, immediately arm!"
Zhao Ming's expression was dazed, and he immediately gave the order.The horn sounded, and the Ming soldiers marching on the road seemed to be spurred on, and they all raised their speeds, according to their respective duties, seized the hills on the west bank of Lianshui, and then quickly built fortifications to prepare for the attack of the Qing army.At this time, everyone watched the beacon fire spread to Fuzhou, knowing that soon after, Duoduo would inevitably lead the troops to arrive, and their expressions became solemn.Zhu Yihai controlled the somewhat restless war horse, pulled the reins of the horse with his hand, turned around, glanced at the generals, and said in a solemn voice: "Zhuqing, this battle will be won!"
”Many generals looked solemn, clasped their fists one after another, and responded in a deep voice, "We must win!"
”~~~~~~ Fuzhou, Duoduo temporarily traveled.At this time, outside the city of Fuzhou, the military tent spread, more than 100,000 Qing troops gathered here, and countless Qing soldiers and soldiers haunted it.In the palace of Duoduo, the Han Dynasty was reporting to Duoduo that the Qing army had attacked Anping City."
Will you burn Anping City?"
Duoduo frowned slightly, and there was some unhappiness in his tone.The Qing army had many regulations on looting, and the proceeds of seizures, bannermen, and the Manchu court were to be distributed according to a certain proportion.However, the Qing soldiers, after each robbery, will naturally not be so honest, and the owners of each banner will also hide a part of it, and will not hand it over to the Manchu court.Han Dai hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, the rebels in the city are stubbornly resisting, and the warriors will inevitably miss in the battle!"
”Duoduo knew that it must have been Han Dai and others who killed and burned the city in order to cover up the amount of looted property.This made Duoduo a little dissatisfied, but he did everything, and according to the custom, Han Dai wanted to prepare one for him, so he didn't want to continue to pursue it.The soldiers of the Eight Banners were rarely happy, and Duoduo, as the commander, naturally couldn't help but cherish the soldiers.However, despite this, Duoduo was still a little annoyed in his heart, Han Dai and others robbed it, but they also killed many of Zheng Zhilong's family members, and even his wife was insulted and committed suicide, which was really excessive.Duoduo said with a calm face: "How about the seizure?"
”Han Dai was quite excited: "Lord Wang, a huge amount of money has been seized, there are 20 million taels of silver alone, and 300,000 stones of grain, the Zheng family in Fujian is really rich!"
”Duoduo raised his eyebrows, and his anger at the killing of the Zheng family disappeared in an instant, and he said in surprise: "It's so huge!
”After saying that, Duoduo immediately ordered: "Send someone to guard it closely, and send heavy guards to Beijing later!"
”With so many captures, not only the Manchu finances could be greatly improved, but also the Eight Banners who participated in the war, and he himself could also receive extremely rich rewards.Just as Duoduo was rejoicing, at this time, a general hurriedly came in, "Master!
”Seeing that he was flustered, Duoduo was quite dissatisfied and said, "Why are you flustered?
”"Master Qiqi, Zhao Manzi led tens of thousands of troops, left Ningde, and killed Lianjiang!"
The general said hurriedly.Duoduo raised his eyebrows, his face showed surprise, and then he was furious, "What a Zhao Zamao, I really don't know how to die!"
