Jiangnan, after Zhang Cunren was defeated and committed suicide and the 50,000 Qing army was destroyed, the strength between the Ming and Qing dynasties reversed.At this time, in the hands of Man Dahai, there were only 130,000 troops left, which was an excellent opportunity for the Ming army.The boundary of Changzhou Prefecture, opposite Jiangyin City, the Yangtze River is in the heart of the Yangtze River and Jingjiang.In the vast river, there are many warships, hundreds of warships of the size of Donghai Town, neatly and orderly arranged in the water village, the Ming army fast ships on the river shuttle back and forth, inspect the Yangtze River, and occupy the waterway.After the Ming army captured Hangzhou, Zhao Ming's goal of containing Mandahai had been achieved, and the army retreated to Jingjiang and peeked into Wujin County, the capital of Changzhou.At this time, Zhu Yihai's army had already entered the city of Huzhou and stormed Huzhou City, Li Chengdong's original task was to cover the flank of the army, and now he was not willing to be lonely, and actually killed Xuancheng, the capital city of Ningguo, which was only more than 150 miles away from Wuhu and more than 300 miles away from Nanjing.In this way, Mandahai was extremely passive, with Zhu Yihai commanding 100,000 troops in the southeast and besieging Huzhou, Zhao Mingshui's division across the Yangtze River in the east, threatening Su Songchang, and Li Chengdong threatening Wuhu and Anqing in the southwest, making him suffer from enemies on many sides and be passive everywhere.Outside the Jingjiang Water Village, a big boat is loaded with wine, delicacies, and money, close to the Jingjiang Wharf.In this battle of Fuhang, Zhao Minger entered the Yangtze River and restrained more than 100,000 troops in Mandahai, and Zhu Yihai had the opportunity to capture Hangzhou, which can be described as a great contribution.Zhang Huangyan was ordered by Zhu Yihai to come to Jingjiang to reward Donghai Town, and at the same time discussed with Zhao Ming about continuing the attack."
Hahaha~" Zhao Ming stood on the dock, saw Zhang Huangyan get off the boat, and greeted him with a smile from afar, and politely arched his hand, "Zhang Gong!"
”Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "How can you work hard to welcome the country?"
”"Zhang Gongnai is the envoy of His Royal Highness, I want to welcome him personally!"
Zhao Ming smiled slightly, and turned to one side, "Zhang Gongying, please!"
”"There is labor!"
Zhang Ming cheered up and saluted, and then walked to the camp with Zhao Ming.Along the way, the two exchanged a few words, from which Zhao Ming learned the specific process of Zhu Yihai's capture of Hangzhou, and Zhang Huangyan also learned about the deeds of the East China Sea army fighting the Yangtze River.After entering the camp, Zhao Ming set up a banquet in the big tent to entertain Zhang Huangyan, many Donghai Town generals sat with him, during the banquet Zhang Huangyan suddenly stood up, hugged his fist to the sky, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness has a word, the country is loyal and brave, the gods are mighty, the second into the Yangtze River, the defeat of Jiannu, with thousands of people, contain the 100,000 army of slave chiefs, outstanding meritorious service. ”As he spoke, Zhang Huangyan raised his glass and said excitedly: "Today, His Royal Highness, this official is only using this cup to greet the soldiers!"
Please!
”"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The generals of the East China Sea stood up in unison, raised their wine glasses and shouted, "Please!
”After speaking, they all raised their heads and drank them all, sat down again, and then ate and drank.Zhao Ming also had a drink, "Gong Zhang is here, in addition to rewarding the soldiers, do you have something to explain?"
”Zhang Huang said: "Since the Jiashen State Change, Guozuo has moved south, Jiannu swept across the Central Plains, invaded the south of the Yangtze River, and the troops reached Minyue, and we and other ministers of the Ming Dynasty died in the sea.Since the national change, my Ming Dynasty and Jiannu have fought several battles, defeated more and won less, and the territory has been lost again and again, and today His Royal Highness has returned to Hangzhou, changing the decline of the lost land, which can be described as a reversal of the situation.Now, with the fall of Hangzhou and the shaking of the Jiannu army, it is a good time to take advantage of the situation to hit the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River. ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "Hangzhou was captured by my Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness's troops and Huzhou, the Qing army in Jiangnan must be shaken and unable to fight against me, it is indeed a good opportunity for my dynasty."
However, Hangcheng was occupied by our dynasty, and Manchuria must have been shocked, and Dolgon was determined to send elite troops thousands of miles to help, so there was not much time left for us. ”Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "The words of the Duke of the Kingdom are exactly what His Highness means.Zhejiang is based on me, Wang Shi shakes Jinling, and Jiannu must not tolerate it, so he will definitely send troops.Therefore, His Royal Highness's intention was to take advantage of the fact that the Qing army's reinforcements had not arrived, seize the opportunity, and launch a fierce attack on the enemy in the south of the Yangtze River. ”Zhao Ming basically supported this idea, taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army reinforcements had not arrived, he would hurt Mandahai, which was conducive to the later confrontation with the Qing army reinforcements.However, Mandahai is not muddy, there are more than 100,000 troops can be deployed, if the Ming army is greedy for merit and fails to defeat Mandahai, and the Qing army reinforcements arrive, it may lead to the defeat of the Ming army, and even lose the results of the battle of Fuhang.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Your Highness's intentions, I basically agree, but the enemy of Wuchang and Nanchang will go south, and it will only take half a month to reach Jinling, and even faster, so I think I can take advantage of the situation to attack, but the target should not be too big, when it can be achieved in half a month, if it cannot be reached, it must be given up, turned to defense, resist the Qing army reinforcements, and protect the results of the battle of Fuhang." ”Zhao Ming's meaning is that Hangzhou is lost, Jiangnan is in crisis, Man Dahai must ask the Qing court for help, and the goal set by the Ming army must be a goal that can be achieved before the Qing army's reinforcements arrive, and if it cannot be achieved, it must also be given up immediately and transferred to the defense to deal with the Qing army's reinforcements.Zhang Huangyan bowed slightly, "I don't know what Guogong thinks, what goal our army should set for?"
”After Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, he spit out three words: "Su Songchang!"
”Suzhou, Songjiang and Changzhou are the three relatively wealthy state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also relatively developed handicraft industries.Zhao Ming has coveted the three provinces for a long time, if he can get the land of the three provinces, in Songjiang, that is, the Shanghai area of the later generations, start a treaty port, the goods of the entire Yangtze River water system can be transported to Shanghai through the waterway, will definitely bring Zhao Ming a large amount of wealth and resources.Zhang Huangyan smiled and said: "The Duke and His Royal Highness have the same opinion.This time, I came on the orders of His Royal Highness, hoping that Guogong could capture Wujin County.In this way, His Royal Highness attacked Huzhou, Guogong occupied Wujin, the east of Taihu Lake, Su Songchang Sanfu, and Jiaxing, which were in the bag of Daming. ”Su Songchang, as well as Jiaxing Mansion, although the plains are the majority, but the river network in the territory is vertical and horizontal, and the west is Taihu Lake, the north is the Yangtze River, the east is the sea, the south is Hangzhou Bay, there is water on all sides, it is the place where the Ming army can occupy and have a chance to gain a firm foothold after it is captured.Zhao Ming and Zhu Yihai both take a fancy to this, and it can be said that the heroes see the same thing.However, this Su Song is often a place of anointing, and it needs to be made clear who will be defeated and who will be defeated.Zhao Ming held his own merits, and he was not polite, he looked at Zhang Huang and said, "Since His Royal Highness has an order, I will take Wujin."
However, Mandahai garrisoned a lot of troops along the river, and I need to transfer the troops of Ningbo and Shaoxing to the north to capture Susongchang Sanfu. ”Zhao Ming meant that Ningbo and Shaoxing, which were recovered by him, did not want Donghai Town, but asked Su Songchang Sanfu as a reward for his dispatch of troops this time.Zhang Huangyan was not surprised, there was a certain tacit understanding between Zhu Yihai and his commanders.Moreover, although Su Songchang is rich, after occupying it, he still needs to be able to hold it, and among the commanders of the Zhejiang system, only Zhao Ming's army is strong and has the ability to hold Su Songchang's three mansions.If Donghai Town is in Susongchang, it is equivalent to holding the northeast direction of Zhejiang for Zhu Yihai, and even if the Qing army reinforcements arrive, and Donghai Town threatens Zhenjiang, the Qing army will definitely not dare to attack Zhejiang with all its might, which is conducive to Zhu Yihai digesting the results of the battle of Fuhang.Zhang Huangyan hesitated slightly, then arched his hand and said: "I will tell His Highness for the Duke of the Kingdom!"
”"Hahaha~" Zhao Ming immediately laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhang Gong, drink this cup full!"
