Xiao Yuan's battalion, which was wandering at the intersection of the three provinces, moved, abandoned the banner of the righteous army, and raised the banner of the official army. Yuan Shizhong went from being the leader of the righteous army all the way to becoming a general subordinate to the general army of Denglai.

The team of more than 20,000 people was also divided into two, seven or eight thousand people went to Tancheng all the way, and 15,000 people stayed in Pizhou.

The team going to Tancheng is led by Lao Xiucai, who is a good obedient person of the Ming Dynasty, and a person who is forced to rebel by today's world. They rebelled just to survive, and when a new way of life appeared in front of them, these people embarked on a new path without hesitation. Even if this road is not half secure, the desire for stability in their bones makes them resolutely choose to face the danger.

From Yuan Shizhong's standpoint, you can scold them for being ungrateful, but in this world, you can't help but understand this feeling.

The fifteen thousand people who remained in Pizhou were the main force and vassals of Xiao Yuan's camp, and those who could not trust Zheng Zhilong's promise. They can be regarded as the foundation of Yuan Shizhong in Xiao Yuan's camp. It is naturally different from the old Xiucai people.

In the absence of enough evidence to consolidate, Zheng Zhilong's 'empty mouth and white teeth' can't move them.

Who made the credibility of the Ming Dynasty in this era inferior to a piece of broken paper that wiped his ass?

Even, after Yuan Shizhong recruited An, he ignored the orders sent by Denglai and Jinan to aid Yanzhou, Zheng Zhilong did not pile up the promised money, food and soldiers in front of him, even if Yuan Shizhong had already accepted Zhao'an, he would not listen to the greetings.

However, now it is winter, the canal is frozen, the rivers and seas are frozen, and the ships cannot arrive at all. Zheng Zhilong also had no way to ask Jinling for money, grain, and weapons, so he could only use chariots and horses to transport a large number of money, grain, and soldiers from Jiaozhou Bay to Pizhou. How can this be done in the short term?

As for where the money and food for the soldiers in Jiaozhou Bay came from, it was obviously Zhifu Island.

The Fushan front on the east side of Jiaozhou Bay is roughly Qingdao in the later generations, this place is an ice-free port, and the port is wide and deep, the waves are small and the current is slow, and the warm current of the Yellow Sea passes through, that is, the Kuroshio branch out of the tributary that is biased to the Bohai Sea. No silting or freezing all year round.

Zheng Zhilong had already looked at it, but he had no reason to touch it before, so he gave up. Now that a great excuse is in front of him, how can it not be used?

Taking the opportunity to hold the front of the floating mountain in his hand, plus the corner of the mountain, and Dengzhou City, which only exists in his planning, but has not yet been touched in reality, as long as these points are held in his hand, this Jiaodong will not be able to get rid of his Zheng Zhilong's grasp.

As for whether anyone in the Denglai Mansion is worried about this matter, hehe, what if Zeng Ying and the others just see the traces? Isn't the most important thing now to fight the Tartars?

As for the Qing army's offensive, Li Zichengke made a comeback.

The Ming Dynasty is so troubled by internal and external troubles, can it still take care of Jiaodong when the time comes?

As mentioned earlier, the 180,000 army was defeated in Zhuxian Town, and Li Zicheng immediately besieged Kaifeng City again, and Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly transferred Hong Chengchou south. Supervise the division and suppress bandits, and make meritorious contributions to crimes.

But I didn't want the Donglin Party to be full of talents, and when Kaifeng City was in trouble again, a yellow shu popped up again.

This person is from Huizhou. Bingzi lifted Zhejiang, Ding Chouden Jinshi; Awarded the Central Plains Kaifeng Governor. He came up with a clever plan - to replace the army with water, break the embankment of the Yellow River, and try to flood the peasant army.

The flood was ruthless, so naturally it really forced Li Zicheng back. However, hundreds of people in eastern Henan also suffered.

Huang Shu is amazing, the Donglin Party is powerful! Because this great flood caused all the disasters in the relatively rich eastern Henan Plain. At the same time, the water of the Yellow River poured into Kaifeng City, and the residents in the city were killed and injured innumerable, and even damaged the city wall, so that there was no strong city in the Central Plains in the future to reach Li Zicheng's army. But that's all for later.

Now, Huang Shuyi's clever strategy of 'replacing soldiers with water' has saved Hong Chengchou's strength, because Li Zicheng has withdrawn his troops back to Nanyang, and it is also a matter of Yang Wenyue and Hu Dawei for a short time. Hong Chengchou's troops and horses stopped directly at the southernmost Daimyo's mansion in Beizhili. It's only been a few days since the bad news came from the north.

After the Qing army defeated the Ming army's interception in Jizhou, it was in Tianjin, along the canal all the way south, and it seemed that it was going to attack Qilu again. But it was really as Jiang Zhe expected, after the Qing army broke the Hejian Mansion, it did not go straight to Dongchang Mansion, but went southwest to Zhending Mansion. turned out to hit a big bag in the Deep State. Niu Lu Zhangjing Bayala, Pushuo, Ayantu, etc., were all killed in battle.

However, after hearing the news, Hong Chengchou had already raised troops to help Shenzhou.

Although he hurriedly led his troops south, he had two old generals, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen, who could fight and fight. Stick to the city, but not weaken the Qing army.

Abatai led the Manchu army to break through the border and enter the fortress. Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Hong Chengchou at this time, and compared to Fan Zhiwan, it was obvious that Hong Chengchou was more trusted by him. immediately threw Li Zicheng to Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei and others in southwest Henan. It doesn't matter if these two people stand it or not.

Bai Guangen and Bai Tengjiao were defeated in a battle in Jizhou, Tang Tong was recruited by the emperor into Yanjing, the huge land of North China, at this moment, in addition to Hong Chengchou's department, the rest of the Ming army, Xue Dizhong and other road troops, which were all vulnerable.

In fact, it is.

The battle between the rivers was that Xue Dizhong was easily attacked by the Qing army, so that the general troops of Shanhai, Zhongxi, Xixi, Changping, Tongzhou, Tianjin, Baoding and other roads who followed the Qing army fled one after another. Hejian Province has lost foreign aid, people's hearts are fluctuating, and its own mobilized forces are also lacking, how can it resist the offensive of the Qing army, which is completely unchecked?

The senator Zhao Ting, the prefect Yan Yunshao, and the commander of Hejian Wei made Zhao Dingxin and the county magistrate Chen San all died in battle.

Abatai then entered the Zhending Mansion with his troops, but met his old rival Cao Bianjiao in Shenzhou, and he was unable to overcome it repeatedly. Then there was a blockade in Zhaozhou by Wang Tingchen, and then saw that the other Ming armies had been controlled by Hong Chengchou, and saw that Hong Chengchou's troops were really capable of fighting, and they were forced by the emperor's strict order to surround them one after another. Seeing that the situation was not good, Abatai turned east again and entered the Dongchang Mansion of Qilu, and the first to be broken was Linqingzhou.

The latter is a prosperous place on the Grand Canal, where the last time Dorgon's army came, it was here that it was full of money. But now that Abatai is back, the benefits are a little chilling.

The Manchu Qing Tartars, who were mad, then killed people indiscriminately, and the people within dozens of miles around were searched and killed, the corpses were like mountains, and all the official offices and houses were burned down, and the scene was so miserable that people could not bear to witness.

After Abatai captured Linqing, the Manchu Qing divided their troops into multiple routes and attacked cities and plundered land everywhere. Abatai himself personally led a group of soldiers and horses to confront Hong Chengchou.

A large number of refugees fled south, and Yanzhou was shocked every day, even Nanzhili was shaken.

In this case, Zheng Zhilong's appeasement of Xiao Yuanying, that is, no one gossips anymore. The Yanzhou gentry called for reinforcements day and night, if you don't want to appease Xiao Yuan's camp, then go and fill Yanzhou City yourself.

There is not only a clan prince in that place, but also the Qufu Kong family. How could you sit idly by and watch the Qing army attack?

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the threat of the Manchu Tartars was imminent, but the Central Plains suddenly came to the aid of Liu Chao, the general soldier of Bian, to kill more than 30 members of the family of Wei Jingqi, who had returned to his hometown, and killed Qiao Mingkai and Wang Qizhen, the chief trainee, according to the news that Yongcheng had rebelled against the Ming.

The rebel armies near Yongcheng were all willing to belong to Liu Chao after hearing the news. Wang Han, the governor of Henan, hurriedly marched into Yongcheng to fight Liu Chao and garrisoned Dongguo. The gentry of Yongcheng practiced state affairs, Ding Kuichu, Zhang Xing and others opened the north gate at night to welcome Wang Han's army into the city and fought with Liu Chao in the streets. However, the ridiculous thing is that the result of this battle was the defeat of the royal army, and the governor Wang Han was killed in battle. Liu ultrasonic power earthquake!

Bad news came to Qilu one after another, and the gentry and people lamented relatively, and in addition to sighing and helplessness, all they could do was to step up the transportation of grain and grass equipment to Pizhou, in order to feed the little Yuan camp, so that Yuan Shizhong could quickly march to reinforce Yanzhou.

Of course, no one knows that Zheng Zhiguan, the commander-in-chief of the Zheng family's secret whistle, first hit the wall at King Lu in Yanzhou these days, and then walked out of Qufu City with an iron face......

"Dare to look down on your grandfather, Kong Yinzhi, you can wait for me! Grandpa, I can't spare you......"
