The same is true for Shaoxing Mansion.

Fenghua only lasted two days, and the Qing army easily broke through the city gate, and the 3,000 Ming troops in the city were scattered.

This can't be blamed on the soldiers, in the face of the attack of 30,000 Qing troops, it is already good to be able to hold for two days, and they can't be more demanding.

Duoduo did not stop for another day, and then gave the order to march on two routes, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shangyu.

All the way through Chenxi to Fenghui, south of Fenghui is Lingnan, that is, Pinggang Mountain, north of Fenghui, is Wuzhuang.

The other way, through the post pavilion to Yonghe, points directly to Shaoxing Mansion.

The Ming troops along the way only existed on the scale of 100 households, and they retreated to Shaoxing Mansion one after another.

The Qing army was like entering a no-man's land, almost like when it went south to break through Nanjing.

However, there is still a difference, the Qing army no longer slaughtered the city.

It is not that the Tartars learned leniency from Han Confucianism, but that they already have reverence in their hearts.

This awe comes from the resistance and strength of the Ming people.

In many cases, countering evil with evil is the real way to deter the enemy.

This is like replacing defense with offense, and only by making the other side jealous is the real way to protect the people in the occupied areas.

Wu Zheng went on a northern expedition from Hangzhou and Jiaxing, and won successive battles, defeating and annihilating no less than 80,000 Tartars.

And for the captives, there was never too much leniency.

To kill to stop killing, so far, except for the Ming army, there has not been a single prisoner of the Eight Banners who can leave alive.

This kind of ruthlessness, even the murderous Tartar can't help but think about it, if one day he becomes a prisoner, will he be tortured and killed by the Ming army for slaughtering the Ming people.

This is different from the popular saying at this time, which prevailed at this time, and only by obediently surrendering the city could we avoid being slaughtered by the Tartars after the city was broken.

This argument is very marketable, and it can confuse ordinary people, and even some local officials believe it.

But in fact, only by desperately resisting and beating the Tartars can they be in awe.

This point has been hinted at since the time of Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition.

Since the breakthrough of Taizhou, the Qing army has been silent about the slaughter of the city from top to bottom.

The Ming army that followed Duoduo surrendered to the army, and they didn't dare to do anything nonsense.

However, this did not affect the Qing army led by Duoduo to advance in the direction of Shaoxing Mansion like a bamboo.

Shaoxing Mansion is weak, really weak.

This weakness refers to the physique of the people of Shaoxing, the literati are in charge, the military ministers are in decline, and the most people in Shaoxing Mansion are literati and inkmen.

However, the integrity of the gentry of Shaoxing Mansion is no less than that of the people of Jiangyin.

After the Qing army entered the Kou Shangyu realm, the Second Route Army was stubbornly blocked in the post pavilion and Fenghui, and could not go further.

In a certain respect, compared with Jiangyin, the situation faced by the military and civilians in Shaoxing is more difficult.

Jiangyin is based on the city and guards, but Shaoxing Mansion is surrounded by small counties in addition to Shaoxing City, and the southeast place, there are very few wars, the city is not high, some county city walls are not more than one zhang high, and even some are in disrepair for a long time, and they have long been dilapidated.

The Ming army was not only outnumbered, but more difficult was that there was no danger to defend.

But the Ming army still did it.

They will be more than two armies, delayed in the post pavilion and Fenghui for three days, unable to move forward.

Yiting is a small town with a population of just over 10,000 and a radius of only ten miles.

But its position is very important, and if it is breached, the Qing army will go straight into the hinterland of Shaoxing.

Originally, Zhu Yujiao transferred two guards with a total of 6,000 people to garrison, but after Chen Sheng took the initiative to lead his troops to Fenghui, Zhu Yujiao transferred the second guard where Fenghui was stationed and transferred one guard to enrich the defense force of the post pavilion, so the post pavilion had 9,000 Ming troops.

Its commander was Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department at the time.

Zhang Huangyan's military talent was almost none, but his appeal was strong, and he ceded military command to Liao Zhongping, and he was responsible for recruiting and dispatching troops.

In just three days, the number of conscripts was as high as 5,000.

Although it was a farmer who had just put down his hoe, in the era of cold weapons, plus the defense of the city, these 5,000 people came in handy, which was enough to make the Qing army stop under the city.

For three days, the small city of Yiting was not moved by the Qing army's 15,000 men.

But the resulting casualties were also considerable, nearly 4,000 casualties, compared to less than 2,000 casualties of the Qing army.

Zhu Yujiao hurriedly transferred 3,000 people from the last guard of Shaoxing Mansion to rush to the post pavilion and stabilize the defense.

And the battle of Fenghui is a little easier.

Pinggang Cottage, there is a cavalry, after successive expansion, there are already 1,500 people.

He was trained by Qian Qiaogong for two months, and he also participated in the Battle of the Three Realms.

It's no longer in the category of rookie rookies.

Coupled with the training in the past few months, it has begun to take shape.

There were 3,000 infantry in the cottage, in addition to the 1,000 people left behind, Chen Sheng brought 2,000 people, plus 3,000 people in Shaoxing Mansion, Fenghui's Ming army numbered 6,500 people.

The Tartars who came to attack were 10,000.

Fenghui City is even smaller, with a radius of only six miles.

But it has the advantage that it has only one passage from Pinggang Mountain in Lingnan, and this road passes through Fenghui City.

And Fenghui City is not on the official road from Chenxi to Shaoxing Mansion, which means that the Tartars marching into Shaoxing Mansion can actually ignore Fenghui and directly pounce on Shaoxing.

But if the Tartars really did this, the Ming army of Fenghui would be able to cut off the back of the Qing army.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Qing army could only stumble on Fenghui, intending to pull out this nail and clear the obstacles.

Thus, a vicious battle broke out in hysteria on both sides.

If it weren't for Chen Sheng placing 1,500 cavalry in the direction of Dingzhai in the northwest of Fenghui in advance, and assaulting the middle of the Tartar at a critical moment, I am afraid that Fenghui would really not be able to defend Fenghui.

The Tartars who attacked Fenghui had no cavalry, and they scratched their ears and cheeks for the elusive cavalry of the Ming army, and gritted their teeth with hatred.

But the human legs can't catch up with the horses' feet, so they can only watch the Ming cavalry disappear every time.

After three days of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted.

At this point, a temporary stalemate was invariably entered.

Shaoxing Mansion Palace.

Zhu Yujiao was rumored to see Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu.

"King Lu, you leave Shaoxing and retreat to Hangzhou Mansion."

Zhu Yihai was stunned, he had a lot of trouble with some officials these days, in order to retreat.

Shaoxing Mansion has a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, all the way to Pingchuan, how can it be possible to stop more than 30,000 troops from Duoduo?

Even a military idiot can probably understand this truth.

But the problem is that if Shaoxing Mansion is headed by Zhu Yujiao, although she is a little woman, she has the support of a group of important ministers such as Qian Sule, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Huangyan, etc., Zhu Yihai can't really influence the decision-making of the imperial court, so it's just trouble!

But since yesterday, Zhu Yihai and others have stopped making trouble.

The Ming army was in Yiting and Fenghui, and Shengsheng blocked the Tartars for three days, so that the Tartars could not move forward.

This made Zhu Yihai and the others feel that Shaoxing Mansion could still hold it.

With this hope, it is natural that there will be no trouble.
