Chapter 235: Entering the City, Copying the Big Family......
Ten days passed in a flash, and half of the land of Denglai had changed color.
The so-called: In the dream, there are vague motherly tears, and the city head changes the king's flag, that's it.
When the Manchu army entered Denglai, one state and county after another surrendered without a fight, and the officials there either abandoned the seal and left, or turned into Manchu officials.
The Qing army was like a march all the way, and did not encounter the slightest resistance. Now it has surrounded Fuzhiye County in Laizhou, and the vanguard has reached Huang County in the west of Dengzhou City. And Li Shutai also captured Jiaozhou without blood, and then the army approached Laoshan.
Yes, the Qing army came directly to Laoshan Mountain, not the Fushan front site that was the foundation of the Zheng army in Jiaozhou. The reason is that a Laoshan mountain blocks most of the space between Fushan Qiansu and Jimo County, leaving only a narrow passage near Jiaozhou Bay on the west side.
And the flat land of about ten miles was blocked by a few small but strong fortresses, so Li Shutai would not lead his army to fight. Although he had not personally experienced the power of the fortress, he was not deaf. He knew that Abatai, his Guo Luomafa had touched a bag in Jinmen.
Therefore, he just wanted to find a trail from the huge Laoshan Mountain Range that was not proposed by Zheng Jun, bypass Zheng Jun's defense line, and kill inside. Even if they can't gain a firm foothold, they can kill and burn a big blow and destroy the enemy's war potential.
You must know that the summer grain is about to be harvested.
Therefore, Li Shuitai, who entered Jiaozhou, did not easily attack Jiang Zhebu, but stopped his troops and let Liu Zeqing quickly attack the surrounding prefectures and counties.
Now Liu Zeqing has entered Laiyang, and the soldiers have all gone straight to Haining Prefecture south of Qishan (Yantai).
The Qilu Green Banner Army, or the Qing Army, this time in the Battle of Denglai, was to attack from multiple directions, creating the greatest pressure on the Zheng Army, forcing the Zheng Army to divide its troops like the same, so that Zheng Zhibao could not gather troops to fight the Green Flag Soldiers head-on.
It can be said that the war strategy was very different from the earlier war strategy of rushing to a decisive battle with the main force of the Ming army, because the Manchu Qing recognized the strong combat effectiveness of the Zheng army.
The ability of white-knuckle combat is put aside, just look at Zheng Jun's guns, and fight a frontal battle. The losses of the Manchu Eight Banner soldiers will not be small, and the Green Flag soldiers will be given in vain.
This Qilu's Green Flag soldiers are either recruited recruits, or Liu Zeqing is a demoted general, and his combat effectiveness is very limited.
Banaha was afraid that after they fought with Zheng Jun, Qilu's tens of thousands of Green Banner soldiers would be wiped out.
That's something that can make the Tartars feel distressed to death.
Tens of thousands of people, scattering the territory can control the boss. No matter how wasteful it is, it is still precious to the current Manchu Qing language.
As for the Manchurian Eight Banners he is currently leading, there are quite a few of them, but they are used to fight Laizhou and Dengzhou, not to fight Zheng Jun's guns and cannons.
Solve Zeng Ying first, and then greet Zheng Jun, this is a choice that the Manchu Qing had to make after hitting the bag many times in Jinmen.
The strong defense of the fortress and the small number of defenders needed in it forced the Qing army to temporarily retreat, and they could not think of a suitable way to crack it now.
You want to say why not use the siege, not for a long time? Didn't you see it as a 'suitable' solution?
The Tartars don't have enough troops to control the territory now, so what can they do to encircle them for a long time?
With Jinmen as an example, Li Shutai can pack tickets, as long as Zheng Jun is given enough time, they can build the Fushan front into the second Jinmen.
Therefore, we cannot be in a hurry to deal with Zheng Jun, nor can we be indifferent. It is the first thing to consume their war potential.
Killing people and burning grain is what he should do in a hurry.
But this is for Li Shutai, not what Jiang Zhe thinks. Jiang Zhe, who was in front of Fushan, is now preparing to go on an expedition.
And his target is not the Lingshan Acropolis opposite Jiaozhou Bay, but directly skips Denglai and inserts into Qingzhou.
Late May.
Just when the seventh small group of green flag soldiers raised their hands and obediently walked into the prisoner camp, Jiang Zhe personally led dozens of big sand boats and a centipede boat to the south under the blowing of the sea breeze, crossed Lingshanwei, Xiahezhai and other places, and arrived at Rizhao.
Surprisingly, they found a small slow sand boat on the sea, and the people on it panicked when they saw them, and quickly turned the bow of the boat and ran towards the sunny Shijiu Island.
"Intercept it!"
Jiang Zhe ordered without thinking about it.
Although the Manchus had the absolute upper hand in Qilu, it was only on land, whether it was the Zheng family fleet on Zhifu Island, or the sand boat gang that traveled between Jinmen, Qilu and Jianghuai, in the process of driving offshore, a major task was to observe whether there were strange ships and shipyards along the coast.
Resolutely nip the Manchu Outer Sea Division in the bud.
The centipede ship quickly increased its speed, and they were really like a dragon flying out of the sea, flying the flag of the sea of dragons, rushing straight towards the target.
The little sand boat turned around and turned back the first moment they spotted the Panlong Yunhai flag, because they knew that their small body was no match for the Zheng family's sailors. Not to mention the centipede ship, even any big sand ship can smash it.
And how can a sand boat compete with a centipede ship? Although the former also has oars, but the number is small, it is really much worse than the centipede boat.
Surprisingly, when the man on the small sand boat found that he could not escape, he did not simply raise the white flag, but began to desperately return fire with the few muskets and crossbows on the ship, and several archers and musketeers also stood on the side of the ship and fired at the centipede boat. Regardless of the effect, just courage, it is still worth affirming.
When a persuasion is answered by a spear and arrow, the centipede ship immediately returns the color, so that they will not get used to their opponents.
Cannons erupted with rage.
The two were less than a hundred meters apart, and the shells whizzed towards the small sand boat in an almost direct manner. Moreover, this is near the sea, and the wind and waves are much smaller than those in the open sea, although it is impossible to maintain 100% accuracy, and two shells fell into the sea, but four shells still hit the hull of the enemy ship, causing great damage.
The Centipede ship had twelve guns on one side, and this was only half of the firepower. But don't want to beat the small sand boat yet.
Two shells hit the side of the small sand boat, creating two holes that were not too big or too small, causing the people on board to exclaim. And the rudder was also broken.
There is no suspense in such a battle.
It's completely Lao Tzu beating his son.
Jiang Zhe looked at the ship and sneered, he wanted to see what was on the ship, and what people were behind the ship.
He instructed the left and right to capture the small sand boat, and then walked back to the cabin. It's just that his orders are doomed to fail.
When a big sand boat sailed to the side of the small sand boat and boarded the bridge board, a team of Zheng Jun jumped onto the small sand boat with knives and guns, and a scream soon sounded in the boat.
When Jiang Zhe arrived, he saw that corpses were already on the deck of the ship.
There are not only those courageous men, but also some cardamom girls in their twelve-thirteens.
"Boss, I'm afraid we're running into human traffickers."
An officer told Jiang Zhe, who squatted down and looked at the face of a girl with a breathless breath, not surprisingly, the circle was full of beauties.
"Is it necessary?"
There are so many refugees in Lianghuai, and how many women like this are inside, is it necessary to transport people from the north?
Moreover, people are still dead.
Whether it is the man on the outside, or the women inside the man, they are all dead.
Jiang Zhe always felt that something was wrong when he looked at him, what kind of secret was this to keep, these men wiped their necks so simply, this is amazing.
But now it is the first to take Rizhao and sweep away the gentry and rich men who have committed treason and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, although this matter is foggy, but it has to be postponed.
"Draw the faces of these people at once. Bring all the corpses and enter the county seat of Rizhao, pay attention to find a few servants to let them see. ”
That's all Jiang Zhe can do.
The battle with this small sand boat is just a small episode today, Jiang Zhe's ultimate goal is to take Rizhao - Rizhao is a dispensable small county town, which is neither a transfer station for the Qing army, nor a material reserve for the Qing army, but a small county town that has just hung up the Tartar flag for a few days, and the county order is still the original county order.
Jiang Zhe's dispatch of troops to fight Rizhao did not have too great military significance, but it had a lot of political significance-this was to warn other prefectures and counties that from the moment you betrayed the clear and clear, everyone was an enemy.
The Tartars were cruel to the enemy, and the Zheng army was equally cruel to the enemy.
If the Qing army can enter Denglai and kill Zheng Jun's nose, then Zheng Jun can also fight back to the territory of the Qing army.
You gentry have surrendered to the Tartars in order to protect your own interests, so now, can Zheng Jun also reap your interests logically?
So, don't think that after surrendering the Tartars, you will have peace of mind. That's!
Even if Zheng Jun can only harass along the coast, it can still make many people cry, right?
In this way, the practical significance is not very large, but the impact will not be less.
When the main force of Zhifu's Qilu Zheng Army was contained, Jiang Zhe felt that he was lucky to come to fire the first shot of the 'counterattack'.
After the ship sailed into the Shijiu Island Village, thousands of Zheng Jun swaggered off the boat, waving flags along the way, and rushed straight to Rizhao City unhurriedly. When the soldiers reached the sunshine, they saw a group of Ding Zhuang in disheveled clothes standing at the head of the city.
These people don't seem to have high morale and are poorly armed.
Not to mention the guns, even Tugong Jiang Zhe didn't find a few.
Putting down the binoculars, Jiang Zhe shook his head at the city defense of Rizhao County, and at the same time was a little happy, he felt that the battle would be easy. Perhaps the fall of the city could be completed in a matter of moments.
Everything was as Jiang Zhe expected.
When the guns rang out, these Ding Zhuang had no courage to fight in the city! I don't know if any of them were killed, but they all turned and fled.
Then the battle was over, and the whole process was without the trouble of Jiang Zhe sending people to blow up the city gates.
"It's in the city, it's in the city, it's in the big house......" Zheng Jun shouted.
