After entering the customs, the nobles of the Eight Banners actually don't have much desire to fight, they already have clothes to stretch out their hands and eat to open their mouths, and they don't have to work, so they don't enjoy it, what kind of war do they fight.

But this year's failure, coupled with the cold winter, makes them seem to be back outside the border.

The Gushan, Jiala, and Niulu of the banners are good to say, their family has a great business, and they can continue to enjoy happiness for a while, but the bannermen are miserable, 221 stone of grain, and it is still rising, and the silver they robbed is all cheaper than those grain merchants.

At this time, in the Eight Banners camp in Yongding, outside Beijing, many bannermen complained, if they had been suffering outside the customs, it would be nothing, because they not only said what to say, but naturally there were no complaints, but after entering the customs, they lived a good life for a few years, so even if the current situation is better than when they were outside the customs, they are not satisfied.

In the past, the Qing court recruited people to fight in the south, although the banners were not disgusted, but they did not particularly hope to be able to draw themselves, but this time, they were very enthusiastic, and they were all looking forward to going south to loot a wave, otherwise the family would really not be able to hold on.

The news of the imminent departure to the south has spread within Qiding, but there is still no explanation of how many people will come out and who will go.

For a while, the camp tent was noisy, and at this moment, a string of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a group of cavalry galloped from the snow and entered the camp directly.

Seeing this, Najia La'e really saw this, and then said loudly: "The regent ordered, go and rob the Southern Dynasty, let's go to the white flag and leave half of it, I am lucky, I have won an extra place for you, let's go to three and stay two, a few of you cattle will be recorded in my account for random inspection, and those who are in the middle will immediately pack up and go south with me, and if you don't win, don't complain, and if you grab something in the flag, you will also be divided." ”

After saying that, Najia Lae Zhen turned over and dismounted, entered the big tent, and several Niu Lu glanced at each other, and immediately rushed in.

After a while, the five Niu Lu came out of the tent, and each was surrounded by their own bannermen, some of them were dejected, and some of them resounded with a burst of cheers around them, "Grab the Southern Dynasty!" "Grab the Southern Dynasty!"

Food and scarcity aroused the animalistic nature of this group of beasts, and the voice of the chosen ox Lu sounded everywhere, "Go back quickly and prepare, prepare your bows and arrows and horses, bring your own clothes, and prepare to set off at once." ”

Qi Ding, who was able to go south, looked excited, the Southern Dynasty was a court murderer, but he didn't go to war this time, not to attack the city for a decisive battle, I grabbed something and ran, and your two little short legs can still catch up with me.

The flagmen immediately returned to the tent one after another, picked up the guys, led the two war horses and went out to the camp gate, and the sound of "robbing the Southern Dynasty, robbing the Southern Dynasty" echoed in the camp with the neighing of people and horses.

Soon the Manchurian Eight Banners that were drawn in each camp began to gather, and many clothed servants also led their horses to accompany them, and the men and horses left Beijing and went south to Baoding, where the Mongolian Zasak Banner and the Karaqin Three Banners were already waiting.

Mongolia that surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are not many people, Tiancong nine years Huang Taiji inventory population, according to the example of Manchuria to set up rules and build a banner, the original Karaqin Department and the remnants of the East Tumut Department of the strong men are only 16,953, the Southern Dynasty is now difficult to rob, not a last resort, Mongolia is not willing to fight for the Qing court, but not to rob and not to rob, not to rob the winter.

Lianghuai, outside Huai'an City, heavy snow is falling, the soldiers of the brigade are active on the river, chiseling the ice with nails, Zhang Mingzhen led a group of soldiers to stand in the north of the river, and the heavy snow covered him with a thick layer.

After King Lu was recruited into Nanjing, Zhang Mingzhen was appointed governor of Jiangbei, supervising the military of Jiangbei and responsible for the defense of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangbei.

During the Xiaoice River period, the weather was too cold, coupled with the Yellow River rushing north, the water volume of the Huai River decreased, and the Huai River actually froze this year, which represents the entire north of the Yangtze River, for the Qing cavalry, it is a horse and a flat river.

King Lu's sailor has withdrawn from the Huai River and went to Chongming to station, so as not to be frozen in the river, and he needs to cooperate with the Dongting sailor to protect the river defense.

The Huai River is frozen, and the defense line originally relied on by the sailors has become a fictitious one.

Zhang Mingzhen looked at the river with a heavy face, and the soldiers above were busy for a while, and suddenly they all got up and ran back to the shore a little clumsily.

It turns out that the soldiers of Shandong and Lianghuai are better, and the weather is abnormal for not a year or two, and some of them have been this bird climate since they were born, so they don't feel anything, and the Zhejiang soldiers in the south are a little unbearable, and their cheeks are red from the cold, and their hands and feet are not good, and many people also have chilblains.

It's only fucking in Lianghuai, and if you go further north, not all the eggs will be frozen.

The soldiers ran back to the riverside, and a thousand households came over to report to Zhang Mingzhenyu in a white breath: "Governor, it's all buried." ”

"Then try!" Zhang Mingzhen nodded and said in a deep voice.

Qianhu hugged his fists, then turned around and walked to the river, ordered someone to light the fuse, the primer wrapped in a strip of cloth, and the white smoke flickered with firelight, and Zizi rushed to the middle of the Huai River.

A series of explosions sounded, and on the surface of the river, broken ice splashed, like a white mist rising from the sky, and the entire ice surface was trembling, shaking out the cracks.

"Governor, it doesn't matter what the use is! The Huai River is thousands of miles away, and it can't be prevented at all, and this ice has exploded today, and it will form a whole piece tomorrow morning. Ruan Jin, the general on the side, said.

"It's just a matter of doing my best, and there's no other way to do it right now, so I can only hope that it won't snow." Zhang Mingzhen raised his head, and snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on his face and beard.

In late November, the weather became colder and colder, and most of the Ming soldiers patrolling along the Huai River were hiding in the piers.

On the night of the 25th, near Lianshui County in the east of Huai'an, in the Ming army pier north of Maluo Town, a pile of firewood crackled and burned, and the Ming army with a small flag inside and the two people of Maluo Town sat together, napping against the inner wall of the pier, and the outside world was a snow-white, although it was three watches, but it was almost no different from the daytime.

At this time, a team of 300 cavalry on the opposite side of the river suddenly appeared, and to the west was Huai'an, which was heavily defended by Zhang Mingzhen, and the Qing soldiers did not intend to touch it, but chose the Lianshui area in the middle as the breakthrough point.

In early October, the Qing troops began to assemble in Baoding, and then the troops were divided into two routes, one led by Azig and entered Henan to join the king of Liangshun, and the other led by Nikan, passing through the already frozen Yellow Flood area, and killing into Lianghuai.

At this time, the fire in the pier platform was flashing, and a few wild dogs outside kept barking, and the Zhejiang soldiers in the pier platform heard the sound and moved, and most of them continued to nap.

Xiaoqi reacted and kicked a soldier next to him, "Climb up and take a look." ”

The soldier looked reluctant, for Zhejiang people, it was really fucking cold, he really didn't want to leave the fire, he didn't want to lift the blanket.

"Damn, on such a cold day, you said that the Tartars are human beings or not people, so they are not afraid of the cold?" The soldier scolded and stood up.

"People live in the bitter cold land of the north, how can they compare with me? You fucking less bullshit, look what's going on! Xiaoqi took a wooden stick to stir the fire, looked up at the soldiers who climbed up, and scolded.

"Yes, yes." The soldier said while crawling, as soon as he showed his head, a gust of cold wind blew him shivering, "Ouch, no, this weather, I can't even hold a knife, if I run into ~~~"

Xiaoqi lowered his head and stirred the flames, waiting for him to finish, but suddenly he heard a "poof" sound, and a feathered arrow shot directly through the soldier's throat, the soldier's face was twisted, his hands covered his neck, he fell down from the ladder, and fell heavily on the fire.
