On the ninth day of the first month of March, the commander of the king of Xingguo Zhiren ordered the sea division to leave the port to the north.

On the tenth day of the first month, the Qing army of Raozhou Mansion broke through Guangxin Mansion, and the 3,000 Ming troops of Guangxin Mansion were wiped out, and no one surrendered.

As a result, the Qing army echoed with Duoduo and Fang Guoan's remnants along the way, and they were connected.

The backyard of Shaoxing Mansion was copied and was surrounded by the Qing army on both sides.

This situation has not changed because of the arrival of Wu Zheng, and in history, Shaoxing Mansion was also broken in this way.

Zhu Yihai, who was in charge of the country at that time, also turned to the sea in this way, organized a wandering government, and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty.

From there, Qian Sule and his brothers and only son traveled to Fuqing and Wenshi, and continued to contact the rebels in various places to resist the Qing Dynasty until two years later, when the army was defeated and died in Langjiang.

But now, because of the arrival of Wu Zheng, many things have changed.

The supervisor of Shaoxing Mansion is no longer Zhu Yihai, who is bent on getting rid of the dangerous wall.

Although Shaoxing Mansion is surrounded on both sides, there is also a place for Hangzhou Mansion to breathe.

Moreover, the Ming army has also raised troops to the north to attack Songjiang and Suzhou.

This is the current situation in Shaoxing Prefecture, where there is both danger and opportunity.

As long as the restoration of Yingtianfu, then you can rely on natural dangers, at least fight against the Qing court across the river, and relieve the breath of hanging for Nanming, who is already terminally ill.

But Duoduo did not give Wu Zheng much time, and after meeting with the Qing army that came from the west, he quickly waved his army to Taizhou, and sent another division to attack Wenzhou.

This is the momentum and style of beating the water dogs, and Duoduo at this time no longer cares about the resistance of the Ming people.

……。

Wu Zheng didn't think his strategy was wrong.

In his opinion, since he is already a dead horse, he might as well be a live horse doctor, but the result is nothing more than a dead end, he can't save the world's Ming people, at least he can save his relatives and friends, because there is still Pinggang Cottage.

Wu Zheng believed that even if the Northern Expedition failed, he would have enough time to lead his troops back to Shangyu, and with the troops in his hands, at least in Pinggang Mountain, he could organize a strong anti-Qing force, and then slowly infiltrate the surrounding areas in order to rejuvenate.

Therefore, from this point of view, Wu Zheng has no burden on this hasty Northern Expedition in his heart.

Just fight with all your heart.

This is probably the first time that Wu Zheng has planned and commanded a battle of tens of thousands of people on his own.

The mistakes are obvious, but there is also much to be said about the thinking.

When Wu Zheng ordered the two roads to break north, he did not forget to order the Lu Zhiyu Department to move to Ningguofu.

This is not a feint, but a plan of fiction and reality.

Lu Zhiyu's army has 10,000 people, although it is a surrender, but after Wu Zheng spared no expense to spend money, the current morale is also screaming.

Coupled with the myth of Wu Zheng's successive battles, these soldiers are now all supporters of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng's order to Lu Zhiyu was that if the Qing army ignored it, then occupy Ningguofu, and at the same time go north along the river to force Yingtianfu.

If the Qing court transferred the Qing army from Huizhou Prefecture and Anqing Mansion to the north to reinforce them, then they would fight to the end regardless of the cost.

Because there were not many Qing troops in Huizhou and Anqing, the total number of troops stationed in the two prefectures was only three or four thousand.

The Qing troops originally stationed there were reduced to the lowest number due to the transfer of Duoduo's subordinates.

This also shows that the strength of the Qing army is not endless.

It is with this in mind that Wu Zheng actually divided the Northern Expedition into three routes, but the real main direction of attack was Suzhou Mansion.

And that is the home of Qian Sudian and Xia Wanchun.

……。

When Wu Zheng led a large army to the city of Songjiang, the walls of Songjiang were already full of defenders.

A look of being ready for battle.

Of course, Wu Zheng would not attack immediately, although he didn't look down on Wu Shengzhao, a reckless three-surnamed family slave.

However, in such a situation, it is undoubtedly beneficial to the situation that the army can surrender without a fight.

The meeting between the two sides was in the afternoon of the same day.

At this time, there is no need to hide people's eyes and ears, the Ming army is besieging the city, Suzhou Mansion itself is difficult to protect, do you still need to worry about leaking the news?

Therefore, the place where the two sides met was five miles outside Songjiang City, under the noses of the armies of both sides.

It's a real sight to behold.

"Dare to ask, but in front of Amber?"

Wu Zheng was stunned by such a polite sentence.

After carefully glancing at the five big and three rough men in front of him, Wu Zheng replied: "That's right, it's someone Wu." ”

Wu Shengzhao was also stunned.

It's a misalignment of language and role.

Of course, Wu Zheng did it on purpose.

But obviously Wu Shengzhao wouldn't understand, he just felt a little abrupt and didn't understand why he was suddenly embarrassed.

But he still relied on his instinct and shouted: "Lin Anbo, Wu has contacts with Shaoxing Mansion and Fujian anyway, what do you mean by suddenly leading the army to attack today?" ”

Wu Zheng casually dusted off his red official uniform and said, "This official came today to welcome Governor Wu anyway." ”

Wu Shengzhao said angrily: "Are you so welcoming? ”

"There is no way for this official, now that the Ming army is on the Northern Expedition and is attacking Suzhou, you said that Songjiang Mansion is on the left side, which makes people very uneasy. The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly. Wu Dudu should be able to understand this truth, right? ”

Wu Shengzhao was angry and asked, "In this case, what official title is Shaoxing Mansion going to give to Wu?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Songjiang General Army." ”

"Finished?" Wu Shengzhao waited for a long time, and saw that Wu Zheng didn't mean to speak again, so he asked.

"Hmm."

"Just a general soldier? Don't even have a knighthood? ”

Wu Zheng nodded and confirmed again, "Hmm." ”

Wu Shengzhao was a kind of crazy excitement, and he asked tremblingly, "Do you know what officials the Qing court gave me?" ”

"Governor Susongdu."

"That's right, then why did Shaoxing Mansion only give a Songjiang general soldier, this is a few officials, how much real power?"

This is really not accurate, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, sometimes big and sometimes small, light or heavy, this is like the commander of later generations, a security regiment can be called a commander, a military region, also called a commander.

Therefore, although Wu Shengzhao was originally a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't know what the value of the total army given by the Shaoxing Mansion was?

Wu Zheng said: "Just count according to the number of people under the command of Wu Dudu." ”

Wu Shengzhao said angrily: "It's the same Ming army, the Longwu Dynasty gave Wu someone the official title of Wu Bo and General Pingjiang, Shaoxing Mansion is too insincere, don't talk about it, leave!" ”

After speaking, he arched his hand, didn't even bother to glance at Wu Zheng, and turned away.

Wu Zheng waited for him to get on his horse before he said loudly: "Governor Wu, this official is not here to bargain with you with a large army. You said that if the official ordered the siege of the city today, how sure would he be that the city would be broken? At that time, will the official take you as a prisoner and imprison you, or will he let you go south to join the Longwu Dynasty? ”

Wu Shengzhao's chest was burning with anger, but there was no way to vent it.

No matter how reckless he was, he also knew that he really wanted to fight with Wu Zheng at this time, whether he could win or not, and the most important thing was to cut off the way to Shaoxing Mansion.
