On the Yangtze River, warships shuttled, and troops from Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guizhou arrived near Yangzhou one after another.After Zhao Ming sent an order to all towns to go on a northern expedition, and ordered each town to send elite soldiers to accompany him, all the feudal domains responded positively.If you don't be active, you can't do it, Zhou Guogang is a minister, the regent is in full swing, and he uses the Northern Expedition as an excuse to mobilize the army.Who would dare not obey this?
If he dared to refuse to send troops, Zhao Ming would immediately be able to deduct him from a big hat and take the opportunity to seize his domain and abolish his title.For a time, outside Yangzhou, the military camps were all over the place, and the sound of Tiannan and Haibei came from the camp.At this time, Zhao Ming was wearing a dragon robe, wearing a wing crown, and a black coat, standing at the head of Yangzhou City, overlooking the army outside the city.Gu Yanwu said when he was in college on the side: "Your Highness, after all parties received the order, they have already sent troops to come.Now the King of E, the King of Tang, the King of Yue, Jin Shenghuan, and Gao Yigong's men and horses have been stationed outside the city of Yangzhou. ”Zhao Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhu Yulu actually came so early?
”Gu Yanwu said: "It is estimated that I am worried that the imperial court will use the excuse of abolishing the feudal domain and does not want to be honest, so I rushed here actively."
Counting the footsteps, Jin Shenghuan of Ganzhou is much closer than him, but it is the army of the Tang King who rushed to Yangzhou first. ”Zhao Ming smiled with satisfaction, "Count him as acquaintances!"
”Gu Yanwu continued: "However, there are not many soldiers and horses sent by the Tang King, only three thousand, and they are not elite. ”"What about the King of Yue and the King of E?"
Zhao Ming asked.Gu Yanwu said: "They came very early, but they didn't send many soldiers and horses.Combined, the three feudatories have only 10,000 soldiers, which is not as good as Jin Shenghuan's family. ”Zhao Ming was in a good mood and waved his hand, "Forget it!"
The Lone King had no hope and relied on them to fight. ”Zhao Ming looked at the military camp stretching outside the city, the dense crowd, and immediately asked: "How many soldiers and horses are there from each domain, have the military departments counted them?"
”Gu Yanwu said: "According to the preliminary statistics of the Ministry of War, there are 3,000 Tang Domain, 3,000 Hu Domain, 3,000 Yue Domain, 10,000 Jin Shenghuan, 10,000 Gao Yigong, 6,000 Yuan Zong, 6,000 Hao Shaoqi, 10,000 Han Naval Division, and 10,000 Yanping Naval Division.In addition, the king of Dingxi, also led 10,000 soldiers and horses, boarded the boat in Huguang, and arrived in Yangzhou in less than half a month.There were more than 70,000 soldiers from each domain. ”"Li Dingguo also sent troops!"
Zhao Mingxi said, "That's a good feeling!"
Just come to Yangzhou for the New Year!
”The Eastern Qing army was about 300,000, and Zhao Ming mobilized 70,000 feudal soldiers, and then mobilized 300,000 forbidden troops, and there was no problem in sweeping away the Eastern Qing Dynasty.For a while, Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel good, and when all the soldiers and horses arrived, he immediately sent troops.In 1659, the third year of Yongli, the first month of the new year.As the regent of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming accepted the worship of the envoys of Ryukyu, Annam, Japan and other countries, as well as the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.After the worship, Zhao Ming held a banquet and reviewed the forbidden army and the soldiers of the towns on the outskirts of Yangzhou.The prestige of the Ming Dynasty shocked the envoys of various countries, and also made the ministers bow down, and the regent was as powerful as the sky.In the third year of Yongli, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival has just passed.Zhao Ming sacrificed to the sky in the suburbs of Yangzhou, and issued "Seeking to Build a Slave to Restore the God of Beijing", telling Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, saying: "Yizong is alive, Han Zuo is gradually declining, and the slave takes advantage of my gap to steal the artifact, and it has been sixteen years now!"
”"In the past, slave soldiers went south, and the lives of the people and the cultural uniforms were almost wiped out.Lonely in the southeast, unswerving, saving the country will fall, rebuilding the district of summer, and half of the country. ”"Now the southern kingdom has been decided, but the northern kingdom is still a slave.The people of Shandong and Hebei were suffering from enslavement, and the people were hanging upside down, often crying at night. ”"Lonely is entrusted by the emperor to act on behalf of heaven, vow to restore Han Xinjiang and save the people of Li.""
Yan Zhao Qilu Han Wei, the homeland of the Han Dynasty.In the solitary view of the universe, they are all ministers, and they are not ministers. ”"Lone is to lead the six divisions with his own family, and several ways go hand in hand, Gong Xingtian punishes him to ask for Jiannu!""
Wang Shi went north, restored Han Xinjiang, Yan Zhao Qilu Junjie, when the back of the heavens and men was checked, and follow the general trend of the world, entangled the strong disciples, responded to the Wang Shi, and discussed the slaves together!""
Today, the army is marching north, and those who raise the city and descend will not be held accountable for their mistakes, and those who dare to lead the army to resist the king's division and shave their hair on the left side will be immediately beheaded.""
Each has its own announcement, and the salty envoy knows it."
As soon as the text was issued, the world shook, and the Ming army, which had already assembled in Jiangbei, immediately marched to the front line.300,000 forbidden troops, 50,000 feudal soldiers, high morale, overwhelmingly marched to Xuzhou, at the same time, 20,000 sailors, set sail from Chongming, mighty pounced on Beijing.An army of 370,000, falsely claiming to be 800,000, rolled north, shaking Qilu.For a time, on the Grand Canal from Yangzhou to Huai'an, the warships blocked the river, and the army on both sides of the river, plus the people, marched for hundreds of miles, and the momentum was extremely huge.The Ming army launched a large-scale northern expedition, and all parts of the Eastern Qing Dynasty immediately fell into panic, the king of Luoyang and Liangshun, trembling, and Yue Le, the general of Xuzhou, closed the city gate tightly and held on.Azig in the city of Beijing couldn't help but be furious when he saw the Ming Dynasty inscription.At this time, in the imperial palace in Beijing, Azig sat in front of the desk, with a pot of pig's head meat in front of him.Fan Wencheng and the others knelt down in front of them and kowtowed for the final persuasion: "Your Majesty, now that the Ming army is strong, please ask the emperor to show weakness to Zhao Zamao!"
”Azig chewed with a hideous face, put the fat in his mouth with a dagger, and said hideously: "Since Taizu raised his army, my Great Qing Kingdom has never been timid in the face of barbarians. ”Seeing this, the crown prince Bolehe said angrily: "Father.In this case, then please ask your father to allow your son to lead the Manchurian iron cavalry south, and let Zhao Zamao know how powerful my Manchurian warriors are!
”Azig was actually under tremendous pressure, but as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't panic and couldn't let his courtiers see his timidity.The tremendous pressure, sometimes overwhelming Azig, can only be relieved by eating constantly.At this time, Azig stuffed another piece of fat into his mouth and said with a smile: "No!
Put all the soldiers and horses into the city, and defend them.The army of Zhao Zamao is the army of princes who have patched together, and these people may not really surrender to him.As long as I hold Beijing, Zhao Zamao's army will not be able to attack for a long time, and there will be changes within them.Also, Wu Sangui will definitely bring his army to rescue me. ”Azig also knew in his heart that with the strength of the Qing army, he could not go head-to-head with Zhao Ming.Now, his only chance to win is to drag it out and wait for Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming to attack.At this time, Wu Sangui, who was pinned on by Azig, had already left Chang'an, led 50,000 cavalry, and left Jiayuguan in the west.Azig's opponent Zhao Ming arrived at the front line in Xuzhou out of Yangzhou, and nearly 400,000 Ming troops had gathered under the city of Xuzhou.The camp of the Ming army spread for fifty or sixty miles, as far as the eye could see, and the flags fluttered, covering the sky and the sun.The camp was crowded with people, and the voices of people and horses were endless, and the momentum alone was scary enough.In the city of Xuzhou, the Qing soldiers had never seen such a big battle since the war with the Ming Dynasty, and they were terrified.Yue Le stood at the head of the city, holding the battlements and looking out, before the battle, most of his morale had been drained······ ()
