The news that King Lu Jianguo broke the Manchu Qingjiang waterproof division in Zhenjiang soon spread to Nanjing, and at this time, the Dongting water division plundered Guazhoudu, and the Guazhou fort that was destroyed by King Lu in August was destroyed again by Man Dazhuang before it was repaired.

In late September of the third year of Longwu, King Lu and Man Dazhuang met in Yizheng County, east of Nanjing, with more than 1,000 boats and 30,000 troops, and a great earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River.

According to the original plan, the two armies took advantage of the defeat of the Manchu Jiangnan naval division and the inability of the Qing army to compete with the Ming army on the river, swept the Qing army's batteries along the river, and completely destroyed the Manchu Qing River defense, so that the Ming warships could enter and leave the Yangtze River at any time.

The Ming army took Yangzhong, Jingjiang and other sandbanks in the middle of the river as temporary water villages, and the warships went around, cutting off the Manchu Cao transportation on the one hand, and attacking the weak points of the Qing army everywhere, destroying all the batteries along the river.

For a time, the Yangtze River was on fire everywhere.

The Ming army warships maneuvered, the east and the west, the Qing army everywhere was worried, the Manchu Qing changed the south of the Ming Dynasty to Jiangnan Province, nearly a thousand miles along the river, more than 30 counties in ten prefectures, from Chizhou Mansion in the west, to Songjiang Mansion in the east are within the attack range of the Ming army.

Although the Qing army still has 130,000 people in the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to divide the troops to control so many places, and those small counties are less than 1,000 people to guard, and the Ming army has 30,000 sailors, and they attack it together.

In Jiangning City, Hong Chengchou couldn't sleep and eat, and the Qing officials and green battalion soldiers in the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River couldn't sleep, they were worried that they didn't know when, the Ming army suddenly killed the city and asked for their heads.

Hong Chengchou also has no countermeasures for this, his previous decades of experience, whether it is against thieves or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, are in the north, for this kind of boat combat, mobile raids, is confused, can only write to Duoduo, "Since August Haikou entered the Yangtze River, the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River have been floating, and now Haikou has entered the Yangtze River, breaking my boat division, and recruiting Huguang rebels to help, the Yangtze River is no longer owned by my Qing Dynasty." The only way to do this is to pretend to negotiate peace, so that the thieves will withdraw from the Yangtze River, and then reorganize the river defense, I hope that the prince must promote this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the three years of work in the south of the Yangtze River will cover the eastward flow, and the Jiangnan Thousand Miles Road will be served by the net scarf, which is not owned by the Holy Dynasty. ”

Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, every place can become the Ming army's attack point, Hong Chengchou in order to deal with it, while urging Duoduo, he can only send the Eight Banners cavalry to monitor along the river.

At this time, the Eight Banners still maintained the majestic wind on land, the iron hooves were rolling, galloping on both sides of the Yangtze River, but the Ming army took a boat, saving time and effort, and the Eight Banners ran with the boat every day.

The Ming warships attacked along the river, the fast boats attacked everywhere, the Eight Banners cavalry was exhausted, the Ming army sailed from the shore by boat, shot arrows at the Qing cavalry who were monitoring the shore, and provoked from time to time, the Eight Banners jumped like thunder, but there was nothing to be done, the cavalry was the overlord on land, and the water was a landlubber.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners could only pull out their horses and leave, but they did not go far, like a piece of stinky plaster, clinging to the Ming army's sailors, monitoring from a distance, they did not go into the water, and did not let the Ming army go ashore.

Fortunately for Hong Chengchou, in addition to destroying the Jiangfang forts, the Ming Army's naval division did not attack the city, which also made him more sure that the Ming army must have a plan, but the Ming army's blockade of the Yangtze River This is a Yang conspiracy, above board, that is, he saw the weakness of the Manchu Water Division, and Hong Chengchou knew that there was no way.

The stars have changed, time has passed, and the threat of the Ming army to the local area, Hong Chengchou has not yet been solved, and another problem has been put on the table.

The economy in the north was destroyed, the people's livelihood withered, Shandong made a fuss about Yuyuan thieves, more than 100,000 flag people in Beijing who were not engaged in production to be raised, the ships of the Ming army were blocked on the river, the ships going north were blocked in Zhenjiang, the ships going south were blocked in Yangzhou, the Cao Yun had been completely cut off, and the Manchu Qing court had issued an edict to reprimand him and ordered him to resume the Cao Yun as soon as possible, which made his old horse even more sad and white-headed.

October Shuo, the Winter Clothes Festival, in the blink of an eye, came to the beginning of winter, and Jiangning City became cold and depressed as if it was winter.

At this time, a person came in from the city gate, and his image was a little embarrassed, it was Yan Congnian, the big treasurer of Qing Yongchang, who was captured by Man Dazhuang in Tongling more than a month ago, and he was released back to Nanjing by the Ming army this time.

The Ming army entered the Yangtze River, and the transportation was blocked for more than half a month, and the canals of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang were crowded with merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north, most of which were ships of Jin merchants.

The Ming army was active on the Yangtze River, food was the key, and some of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River secretly provided a batch of food for the Ming army, but the Ming army was 30,000 people, and the consumption was really huge.

It is also inconvenient for the Ming army to transport grain from Huguang, the grain ship is not a warship, the Qing soldiers can't beat the sailor, it is no problem to bully the grain ship, every time the Ming army transports grain, it has to send a boat to escort it, Huguang has grain from time to time, and the Ming army occasionally breaks a small county, but the grain is still scarce.

Man Dazhuang urged grain to Huguang several times, and Lu Jian had few people in the country, and he also needed grain and grass, so Wang Yan hit the idea on Jin Shang.

Jiangnan is rich in products, the Grand Canal blocked countless cargo ships, for merchants to lose a huge amount of money every day, these materials in iron, copper, grain can be embargoed, but silk, cotton, porcelain, tea, the Ming army can extort a sum, and then let go.

Yan Congnian was put back to give a suggestion to Fan Yongdou and other Jin merchants, asking them to buy roads with grain or silver from Jiangbei.

Not long after, Yan Congnian came to Nanshi.

In the past, most of the materials in Jiangnan were sold to the north, and there was a stable market, but now as soon as Caoyun was broken, there was only smuggling and selling to the Ming Dynasty merchants in Huguang and Jiangxi, or colluding with the maritime merchants in eastern Zhejiang to sell to Japan and Korea through the power of King Lu.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty saw that the transportation was cut off by the Ming army, and the materials in Jiangnan had nowhere to sell, and if they did not sell to them, the merchants in Jiangnan had nowhere to sell.

In the entire South Market, most of the shops have closed, and only a few are still open, but if Caoyun continues to be broken, it is estimated that sooner or later it will be closed.

As the chief treasurer of Qing Yongchang, Yan Congnian was very familiar with the situation in Nanjing, and this depressed scene surprised him a little.

He watched all the way to a large store, the plaque of the store was shining with three big characters "Qing Yongchang", and the walls on both sides of the door and the flags were written with a big "dang" character, which was also golden and full of copper smell.

Nanjing, as the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, has a large population, and I don't know how many princes and nobles, nobles, and ministers gathered here, and with the Ming Dynasty being beaten to the southwest, these old men of the former dynasty in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty must have a hard time, and the pawn family business is inevitable.

Qing Yongchang will do business, most of the shops around him are closed, and his pawnshop is the most prosperous, and he can easily pocket the treasures accumulated by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty and more than 200 years.

Yan Congnian walked into the shop and knocked the small window of the counter a few times, and after a while, the window opened, and a high-spirited voice came out, "What should you do, bring it." ”

"It's me." Yan Congnian frowned, and said angrily.

He was not in a good mood, he was imprisoned by the Ming army for almost a month, and he looked at other people's faces every day, but he didn't expect that just when he came back, a pawnshop guy dared to make a face with him.

"Hey~ You're happy with me, aren't you?" The people inside seemed even more impatient than him, "I don't care who you are, love it, don't you deserve it." ”

With a "pop", the small window was closed directly.

Qing Yongchang is a Qing imperial businessman, the relationship between the government and the government is in place, Governor Hong has no less gifts, only one of them can do pawn business in the whole street, others open a pawnshop, and they will be smashed directly, and if they enter the Qing Yongchang thing, other pawnshops in the city cannot accept it, otherwise it will not give Qing Yongchang face, and the rules of the imperial merchant will be broken, so the guy doesn't have to worry at all.
