It was rainy for several days, and the Ming army could not attack the city, but on the city of Hangzhou, the Qing army was still tightly defended.On the city wall, the Qing army wearing robes patrolled back and forth with spears, and in less than half an hour, the soldiers walked back and forth several times.In the city of Hangzhou, the governor's mansion, the guards on duty at the gate stood straight.A carriage stopped in front of the yamen, the soldiers lifted the curtain, and a general walked out and strode into the palace.Ma Guanghui walked through the hall quite proudly, and when he came to the lobby, Zhang Cunren was sitting and talking with people."
Nakado-sama!"
After Ma Guanghui came in, he saluted Zhang Cunren.Zhang Cunren looked at him and asked casually: "Ma Junmen, how is the city defense?"
”Ma Guanghui smiled and said: "Zhongtang rest assured, it is solid!"
”Zhang Cunren smiled, and still instructed in a deep voice: "Zhu Yihai is eager to capture Hangzhou, and Ma Junmen must not be careless, and prevent the thief army from attacking the city at night." ”Ma Guanghui hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zhongtang, rest assured, the humble post has already arranged for the soldiers to patrol day and night, and will not give the thief army a chance!"
”Zhang Cunren saw that he was full of confidence, so he didn't say much, stretched out his hand to let him take a seat, and then turned his head to a Manchu official sitting on the right and said: "Huang Yushi can tell the prince that the soldiers in Hangzhou are full of food, and the thieves cannot attack the city because of the rain for days, and it will not be a problem for Hangzhou to hold on for several months." ”The Qing official's name was Huang Shu, and he was an envoy sent by Mandahai to Hangzhou to understand the situation in Hangzhou."
With the words of Zhongtang, the lower officials will be able to explain to the prince."
Huang Shu arched his hand.Zhang Cunren lowered his voice, "Huang Yushi, the imperial court has been operating Jiangfang for several years, so Zhao Zamao's division entered the Yangtze River, didn't Jiangfang play a role?"
Zhang Cunren saw that Man Dahai specially sent someone to inquire about the situation in Hangzhou, and knew that Man Dahai might be entangled by Zhao Ming and could not get out, and guessed that the Jiangnan side might not go well.Huang Shu looked at the fact that there were no outsiders, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Lord Zhongtang, Zhao Zamao's boat is strong, and the prince's side is indeed not going well."
However, Zhao Zamao is powerful, and it is only powerful in the water, so Lord Zhongtang does not have to worry.At present, the prince is about to redeploy his forces, as long as there is no problem on the side of Lord Zhongtang, the prince's side will take some effort at most, but in the end, he will definitely be able to defeat the Haikou in the end. ”Zhang Cunren's heart sank, knowing that he had guessed correctly, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.Ma Guanghui was also heartbroken, and continued: "Huang Yushi, in the past, Zhao Zamao was all over the sea, and my Qing army couldn't catch a single hair of him.This time Zhao Zamao entered the Yangtze River, which can be said to be an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty, and asked Huang Yushi to tell the prince that he must seize the opportunity and slaughter Zhao Zamao.If this thief is allowed to enter the sea again, my Qing Dynasty will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating in the future!
”Ma Guanghui said very sincerely, he put Zhao Ming together, and desperately hoped that Zhao Ming would be killed by Man Dahai.Huang Shu said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zamao went deep into the Yangtze River, and the prince transferred elite troops to seize the two forts of Wolf Mountain and Fushan, preparing to mobilize heavy artillery to block Zhao Zamao's retreat, and at the same time transfer the Poyang Lake Water Division to the east.As long as Zhongtang and Ma Junmen stick to Hangzhou, Zhao Zamao will not withdraw from the Yangtze River, and when the transfer of the prince is completed, Zhongtang and Ma Junmen will wait for the news of the prince's victory!
”Zhang Cunren bowed his head and said: "Zhao Zamao is a problem for the henchmen of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Yushi told the prince that Hangzhou is worry-free for the time being, and the thief army cannot come in, so the prince can concentrate on dealing with Zhao Zamao." ”In Hangzhou, it has been rainy for several days, and the water level of various rivers and streams has risen.On the 15th, in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, nearly 10,000 Ming soldiers wearing robes and hats stood by the river, and the rising river water had already passed through the soil bags that held back the water."
Duzhen, it's time!"
A thousand households hurriedly climbed to the high place and saluted with fists.The rain was left along the robe, and under the hat, Wu Zhaosheng's face was cloudy, he clenched the handle of the knife, and then released it after half a sound, and finally ordered in a deep voice, "Let's start!"
”Thousands of households hugged their fists, turned to leave, not long after, a loud noise suddenly came from the river, "boom" sound, the soil bags and soil were lifted away, the blocked river, suddenly rushed out, like ten thousand horses galloping.In the west of Hangzhou, in the upper reaches of Dongtiao River, there was also a loud noise, and the surging flood suddenly rushed down the river.The Dongtiao River flowed from the northwest of Hangzhou to Taihu Lake, and the Ming army intercepted it upstream, and at the same time built a dam downstream to block the river channel and prevent the flood peak from flowing to Taihu Lake.In the lower reaches of Dongtiao River, south of Deqing County, a cavalry galloped to the river, turned over and dismounted, "Dashuai, Hongfeng still has half an hour, and he will arrive in Deqing!"
”The old handsome Zhang Mingzhen shook his cheeks, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked at the river in the distance, and a tumbling white wave rolled in a few miles away.Seeing this, Zhang Mingzhen did not hesitate, and immediately waved his hand, and the officers around him suddenly roared loudly, "Ignite the fire, blow up the embankment!"
”The embankment, which had been half-opened, was suddenly blown open, and the flood peaks poured out of the gap and rushed south.At the same time that Dongtiao Creek was blown up, many streams in Hangzhou were burst, and the main force of the Ming army had moved to the north embankment of the Qiantang River in the north of Xiaoshan.Here, the general Fang Guoan, leading tens of thousands of horses, is sweating like rain digging the river embankment, and the embankment has been loosened.In the evening, the Ming soldiers on the river embankment suddenly exclaimed, "It's coming!"
The tide is coming!
”In the ears of the busy Ming soldiers, they suddenly heard a faint sound of thunder, and everyone stood up, only to see that on the east side of the river, a white wall rose higher and higher, which made many soldiers frightened."
Hong Feng is also here!"
Suddenly, there was another commotion among the Ming soldiers on the embankment, and the flood peak lowered from the upstream rushed like thousands of horses.To the north of the Qiantang River, there is an endless, low-lying Taihu Lake basin, which has been threatened by the upstream flood peaks and the eastern tide for generations, and every breach has caused huge losses.During the Ming Dynasty, there were many floods, a flood in Wanli every three years, it destroyed more than 80,000 acres of farmland, drowned more than 3,000 people, and the Ming Dynasty for Zhejiang, facing this threat, also frequently organized manpower and material resources, built river embankments and sea ponds.Fang Guoan looked at the flood peaks rolling upstream, and looked at the tide pouring in downstream, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, and suddenly shouted urgently, "Quick, blow up the embankment!"
”In the city of Hangzhou, Zhang Cunren, Ma Guanghui and Huang Shu had a very happy conversation, and after the two assured Huang Shu that Hangzhou was worry-free, Huang Shu was anxious to return to Zhenjiang to resume his life, so he said goodbye to the two.Although it was raining, Zhang Cunren and Ma Guanghui still sent Huang Shu outside the governor's palace.The Qing soldiers held an umbrella for Huang Shu, and Huang Shu hugged his fists and said: "Zhongtang, Ma Junmen, don't work to send each other!"
”Zhang Cunren said: "Huang Yushi has a safe journey!"
”Huang Shu was about to say goodbye, but the whole person was suddenly stunned, and suddenly heard a faint muffled thunder in his ears.Ma Guanghui and the others also heard the voice, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said a little nervously, "What sound?"
”Zhang Cunren and the surrounding Qing troops all frowned, and at this moment, a cavalry galloped in the rain, rolled over and dismounted, and said with a frightened face: "Lord Zhongtang, the big thing is not good, water, there is water outside~" Zhang Cunren and Ma Guanghui are both veterans, and the whole person was slightly stunned, and reacted instantly.Zhang Cunren's face turned pale instantly, "It's not good, it's a water attack!"
”Ma Guanghui trembled with fear.
