At the beginning of July, there were Manchus in the north and Zheng Zhilong in the south.

On July 3rd, Chuzhou was regained and lost, and Jierharang's troops approached the mouth of the Xijiang River and looked across the river from Jiangning. On the 5th, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi joined forces to attack Xiangyang. The loyal battalion fought back, blocking Yinxi and asking for help, saying that the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in Xiangyang.

Zheng Zhilong raised the whole Fujian division and attacked Zhaoqing Mansion. The Zhengjia Navy Division took advantage of the night to go north along the coast and attacked the important town of the Songjiang Navy Division, Zhang Mingzhen was caught off guard, and after losing seven or eight warships, he rushed to meet the enemy. Zheng Zhilong is known as the edict of Empress Xiaoyixiang, avenging Empress Zeng and crusading against the traitor Hou Xuanyan.

The battle reports from all over the world were transmitted to Jinling together, and the people were panicked, as if it was the end of the world. Hundreds of officials gathered in the Regency government to ask how to meet the enemy.

Jiangpu City is an important town nailed in the north of the Yangtze River, looking across the river from Jiangning. After a non-stop artillery bombardment for half a day, the not very high city wall has long been riddled with holes, and the cannonballs, boulders, and arrows that hit the city are like life charms, harvesting the lives of the people in the city.

At the third watch, the Qing troops, who had been bombarding since the evening, finally stopped shelling. The city gate has long been in vain, there are more and more footsteps in the streets and alleys, the sound of weapons hitting more and more intense, the sound of arrows cutting through the sky is also more and more sharp, mixed with the sound of people falling to the ground in a row, screams, moans, wails, as well as women's screams, children's frightened cries, so that the originally silent night, suddenly noisy. The people who survived, under the butcher's knife of the Qing soldiers, stretched their necks and waited for the other party's butcher's knife to fall, not even screaming, in the raging artillery and crossbow arrows just now, they did not fall, which shows the tenacity of life, but at this moment, in the face of the butcher's knife, they did not have any resistance, which shows the fragility of life.

There were also people who hid under the bed tremblingly, hoping to delay their lives for a while, but it was useless, and the soldiers who broke in did not hesitate to raise their butcher knives, only to hear the sound of sharp blades smashing into the bones with a puff, and then everything was calm, the only change was that the smell of blood in the air was slightly stronger.

"The people of the south are untamed, capricious, and unwilling to sincerely belong to my Qing Dynasty, and there is no men, women, and children in the city."

The one who spoke was a Han man, named Liu Zhong, who was the general of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Banner, and was previously Gao Jie's subordinate. After Gao Jie's death, he surrendered to Duoduo and became the vanguard of the Manchu southward movement.

Four Qing soldiers, one man and one arm, escorted the two Ming officials to Liu Zhong's side. One of them is Huang Yi, the commander of Jiangpu County, and the other is Jiang Qin, the general who led the troops. Both of them were stained with blood, and there was a deep scar on the face of Huang Yi, the county commander. It was as if someone had cut a furrow in his face, and half of his face was deeply sunken. The scar was still fresh, and the white flesh was dripping with blood, and it looked extremely terrifying.

"Even you two petty officials with sesame mung beans dare to resist the heavenly soldiers?"

Liu Zhong used to sit in Jiangbei with Gao Jie, Jiang Qin happened to recognize him, laughed, and scolded: "Liu Zhong, your former master Gao Jie, although he is a bastard, he is still a bit of a temperament. When it comes to your dog's legs, you are willing to be a dog for the Tartars, wagging your tail and slaughtering your compatriots to please your master, which is really a shame for your ancestors. ”

Liu Zhong's originally cruel eyes showed a trace of shame, but he was immediately left behind: "I think you don't know how to write dead words." ”

Huang Yi and Jiang Qin looked at each other and smiled, and said loudly: "People are born to die, thanks to you, the two of us will be praised by all generations from now on." I'm just afraid that you won't have a good end, Yangzhou Caishikou, there is a seven-foot-long bronze man, who is scolded by passers-by every day, I see that you are fat and fat, and Grandpa Guo may not be willing to give up so much copper water, and use a mud to paste you, kneel in front of our tomb, and help you repay a little evil. ”

Liu Zhong's anger soared, he drew his knife and was about to cut, the two looked at each other, tilted their heads back with great tacit understanding, bumped into each other's heads, and fell to the ground in anger. Liu Zhong slashed into the air with a knife, and a trace of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes. It is said that the southerners are cowardly, when did even the two petty officials have this kind of toughness...

On the outskirts of Jinling, Hou Xuan played an armor and ordered soldiers and horses on the outskirts of the city. There are 20,000 people in Jinling to defend the military area, and it is still possible to guard the city and wait for the return of the Houtu battalion. However, Hou Xuanyan refused to give up Jiangbei Prefecture, and decided to cross the river to fight despite public opinion. The world is afraid of the Manchurian like a tiger, in fact, it is just frightened by the traitors, try to ask the Central Plains, several cities were built by them.

A high platform was built on the outskirts of the city, and the handsome flag was fierce in the wind, with the word "Yue" written on it.

The soldiers in the audience are neat, although the number is small, but the momentum is strong enough. This is the elite soldier of the elite soldiers, who were drawn from various battalions and used to guard Jinling.

Hou Xuanyan raised his voice and said: "Jiannu outside the border once again hit Jiangnan, last time Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou were the tigers, and this time it was Zheng Zhilong, who supported him. After shouting for so long, the Northern Expedition of the founding army can finally give it a try. I will personally lead the six divisions, plough the court and sweep the caves, and cross the river in the near future.

Whoever falls into captivity in the north shall not be killed, as long as he is willing to submit to submission and change his braids into Hanfu;

Anyone who coerces the public to fight and resists the Northern Expedition a little, regardless of Hu and Han, regardless of the officials and the people, will be killed without mercy;

Those who violated our military law during the Northern Expedition were severely punished and never tolerated. ”

The three armies responded in unison, and the momentum shook the city of Nanjing, and the people in the city heard it.

In the second year of Longwu, on the sixth day of the seventh month, Hou Xuanyan swore by the river and led the army to cross the river.

On the water surface of the Yangtze River, thousands of sails work together, break the waves, go to the opposite bank of the river, and see wolf smoke in the distance, rising from the town and village.

When they reached the shore, there were many corpses of the people, and they were nailed to the ground by arrows on the way to the river. Before he died, he still maintained the posture of running to the river, Hou Xuan Yanrao was used to seeing this kind of scene for a long time, and every time he saw it, he was still angry.

The vanguard of the Qing soldiers in the village is searching for food in the nearby villages, breaking down the doors and lighting fires. Seeing the warship that suddenly appeared by the river, he was immediately frightened, and he was about to flee for his life with the things in his hand.

Several firecrackers rang out, and the accuracy of the shot was extremely limited, especially as they scurried into the village and soon disappeared. The young general in front waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to chase deeply, and waited for the army to land.

No one expected that the Ming army on the other side would choose to cross the river, and all the Qing soldiers were waiting for Zilharang's order to cross the river to fight in the south of the Yangtze River. In their opinion, the Ming army has always been on the defensive, always afraid of them coming to attack.

Jiang Jianxun is on the left, Zhang Huangyan is on the right, and Hou Xuanyan is in charge of the Chinese army. After the three armies disembarked, they set up their positions and moved forward.
