PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "I am a big giant".

At this time, I am afraid that no one will be merciful.

It was almost an unwritten rule that the Northern Expeditionary Army did not leave Tartar prisoners, and at the same time the soldiers did not have the energy to guard the prisoners, because they were going to attack!

The convoy of ferries sailing out of the canal to the south appeared just in time when the last Tartar was stabbed to death by the river.

The fleet is very large, numbering more than a thousand ships.

Overnight, all the boats in Huai'an Province were requisitioned, but fortunately, there was no shortage of ferries and sailors in Huai'an Province.

The original Daming Huai'an and Dahe Erwei have their own shipyards and military workshops, but the merchants of Huai'an, which one does not have ten, eight, and more than 600 stone cargo ships?

More than 1,000 ferries, the scale is so large, even Wu Zheng, who personally formed the three major sailors of Zhoushan, Wusong, and Chen Qianshan, is not only at a glance, but the fleet stretches for dozens of miles, that is to say, this side has reached the confluence with the Yellow River, and that side has just left Huai'an.

Under the sound of orders, the soldiers on the shore began to board the ship, and the scene was chaotic.

There is no way, maintaining order at this time is a joke, even in the later generations, no matter how disciplined the army is, it is impossible to do it.

The soldiers gathered along the shore, and as long as a boat came, they left their muskets in their hands on the shore, and waded into the water, and the urgency seemed to have countless gold and silver to be picked up on the other side.

This made Wu Zheng, who had been watching, feel sad in his heart, brothers, do you know what you are going to do?

……。

The sky finally dawned.

The second wave of 5,000 men of the Qing army had already set out, and by the time they reached the center of the river, they had already found that something was wrong on the other side.

At this time, on the south bank, at least more than two hundred ships were already filled with soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it can be said that each of them was seriously overloaded.

In fact, Wu Zheng also saw this, and he also gave an order to Song An beside him, "You go and stop them, what if the boat capsizes in the heart of the river?" ”

And Song An replied with a wry smile, "Young Master...... At this time, even if you try to stop it yourself, I'm afraid it won't be easy...... Besides, the ship is really about to capsize, and I am afraid that they will not be able to drown. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, so he stopped talking.

Song An's words are reasonable, compared with fighting on land and fighting in the water, the Northern Expeditionary Army has taken a big advantage, even if it is a little "unbearable", but it is cheap after all.

It's a bastard if it's cheap!

But this scene was not frightening to the Tartars in the river, they did not realize that they were not good at water.

On the contrary, they were excited, and these southern barbarians were finally willing to fight us head-on.

Perhaps, they know that they are not good at water, but they died under the guns of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the shore, and they didn't even see the face of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Whatever the Tartars thought, their response was to hasten towards the southern shore.

This made Wu Zheng and the generals on the south bank very surprised, dare to love, is there really anyone in this world who is not stingy and is not afraid of death?

Wu Zheng even asked Song An worriedly: "Could it be that Dolgon has trained all the two banners under his command to be a person of good water?" ”

Song An was also a little nervous, "That'...... Does the young master want to give the order to retreat and stop the attack? ”

Wu Zheng's face changed, and he raised his foot and kicked Song An's buttocks, "You kid has been following me for so many years, and you can't even hear the right and the back?" Can a northern landlubber learn to swim in eight out of ten days...... Hurry up and give the order, the striker meets the enemy, launches an attack in advance, and does not have to wait for the follow-up fleet. ”

Song An made a gesture and rubbed the place where he was kicked, and went to answer the order.

Lu Jincai and Yue Xiaolin, the two of Wu Zheng's personal entourage, couldn't hold it back, "Lord Wang...... When are we on board? ”

Wu Zheng pointed to the river several miles wide and said leisurely: "There are enough people waiting for death, let's cross the river!" ”

Lu Jincai and Yue Xiaolin were stunned, but their reactions were different.

Yue Xiaolin's mind was more thoughtful than Lu Jin's wealth, and he lowered his head to ponder Wu Zheng's words.

But Lu Jincai was a reckless man, and he asked aggressively: "Does the prince mean that our army has died enough people or the enemy army has died enough people to cross the river?" ”

Wu Zhenghuo turned around, glared at Lu Jincai, and scolded: "Have you eaten it, are you in the brain?" Are you as stupid as you? ”

After saying that, he strode towards the shore.

Lu Jincai was scolded so much that the second monk was confused, raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, and asked Yue Xiaolin, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Yue Xiaolin replied angrily, "No, you took the wrong medicine!" ”

……。

It was an unusual battle, no, a campaign.

Strictly speaking, this is a water war, an unusual water war.

It is said to be unusual because water warfare generally refers to the battle between warships and warships, but in today's battle, there are almost no warships fighting.

Compared to the more than 3,000 people in the first wave of the enemy's attack, the number of the second wave was nearly doubled, with 5,000 people.

An army of six thousand, even for a powerful dynasty, is a force that cannot be discarded.

What's more, it is the banner army, the descendant of Dolgon, the top meat of the Manchu Dynasty.

Can it be discarded?

Of course not!

In this battle, Dolgon was ill, and although he had arrived in Pei County, he had not been able to command the front line in person.

The deputy commander of the front-line command is called Chen Jin.

This is a Han man, but he is also a hardcore traitor.

His ancestral home is Jinzhou, and he took the initiative to surrender during the Chongde (Huang Taiji) period, and was awarded the title of Niu Lu Zhangjing, and added half of his future.

After the formation of the Han Army Flag, the Han Army was awarded the Blue Flag Niu Lu Zhen.

In the first year of Shunzhi, the deputy director of the Inner Court was awarded the governor of Denglai.

Subsequently, Liu Zeqing, the former Ming general of Qingzhou, was pacified.

The following year, Zhang Guang, the People's Army, was exterminated in Laizhou.

With these two merits, he was promoted to the governor of Caojiang, and Hong Chengchou, who was then a scholar of Zhaofu University, and stationed in Jiangning (Yingtianfu).

Three years later, Jiang Ningming secretly formed a rebel army to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and was ordered by Chen Jin to close the city gate and search for the whole city, killing the rebels and implicating more than 800 people.

At the time of the ceremony, the Qing court had already moved him to the governor of Fujian in Zhejiang, and did not want Wu Zheng to break through the Hangzhou Mansion at that time, set up an ambush to injure Duoduo, and then repelled Duoduo's counterattack, so that Duoduo had to lead the army along the Qiantang River to "turn in".

As a result, the way to the south was cut off, and Chen Jin, the "governor of Zhejiang and Fujian", had no real name, and could only return to Shuntianfu to temporarily "relax".

When he was extremely depressed, in order to regain his high position, he threw himself into Dolgon and became a diehard loyalist of Dolgon, in exchange for Dorgon's appreciation and regaining power.

Dolgon did not treat him badly, no, although he was a deputy general, but the real command of the two banners under Dolgon's command and tens of thousands of troops was actually commanded by Chen Jin, a Han man, which is also one of the few examples.

The top of Chen Jin's official hat is indeed stained red with the blood of countless Han people.

Therefore, his ruthlessness towards the Han people is especially better than that of the Manchus, who want to enslave the Han people, and Chen Jin wants to kill all the Han people he doesn't like.

But the heart of such a man is extremely cruel and at the same time extremely humble, and he is terrified day by day that he is not a man, for fear that he will not do well enough, and will attract Dorgon's punishment and abandonment.
