The Qing court's naval divisions south of the Yangtze River, which were barely able to take the stage, were probably divided into three parts, all of which were led by the Manchu people without exception, and the people of the Han army banner were deputies.

These three parts, if they are divided according to their strength, the coastal waterproof division in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is the strongest, after all, people are fighting in the sea, not comparable to the small shrimp in the pond, and the opposite is Zhoushan Lu Jianguo, the leader of the Ming restoration forces in eastern Zhejiang, without two brushes, he has long been defeated by the Zhoushan Ming army.

The second is the Manchu Taihu Lake Water Division, this team was originally competing with Wu Risheng and Chen Zilong on Taihu Lake, and was the main force to break through the Taihu Lake Water Village, so it has a certain combat power.

Its commander was Manchuria, with the Yellow Banner Meler, Ezhen Saharcha Clan Titatimu, and the deputy commander was Liang Huafeng, with 200 large ships, 300 small boats, and more than 10,000 soldiers.

The last is the Jiangshui division located in Zhenjiang, this force was originally Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing's Ming army and navy were absorbed, the largest number of people, the strongest, but since this force defeated Zheng Hongkui, it has never fought, and the people and horses have been constantly transferred as land divisions, and in the end there is only an empty shelf left, and even the quota of 5,000 people has been eaten to only more than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

The leader of this group is still the Manchurian Yellow Banner Jialazhang Jingzhen Guerjia Clan Bashan, and the deputy commander is the Han Banner people Guan Loyalty.

In August, Lu Jianguo entered the Yangtze River, and after the filial piety tomb was sacrificed in Jinshan Temple, there was a great earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River, which was tantamount to announcing that the restoration forces would come back sooner or later, and they had the ability to come back, which greatly inspired the hearts of the people of Jiangnan Restoration Vision.

The Qing court was extremely vigilant about this, and Hong Chengchou had already sensed the turbulent undercurrent in the south of the Yangtze River.

In order to prevent the Haikou from making noise again, and at the same time to ensure that the transportation is not cut off, the two major water divisions in the south of the Yangtze River, the Taihu Lake Water Division and the Jiang Water Division, were placed in Zhenjiang.

Since the opening of the Grand Canal, the north, especially the Jingshi, has to rely on the grain produced in the south, and the Grand Canal is used to transport north.

Although the population has been reduced by nearly half after more than ten years of war in the north, and the Qing court is also focusing on restoring production in the north, natural disasters have occurred frequently in the north over the years, coupled with the Eight Banners horse race, the north is still very chaotic.

Recently, due to natural disasters in Shandong, the Qing court did not provide relief, and the Yuyuan Army was stirred up, which shows that the north still needs blood transfusion from Jiangnan.

Hong Chengchou was preparing for war in the south of the Yangtze River, and he also needed the Qing court to transfer weapons, armor, green battalions, and eight banners across the river.

Hong Chengchou hurried to prepare for war, and the plan of the Ming army to blockade the Yangtze River was also in full swing.

The beacon tower is an important means of transmitting military information in ancient times, originally mainly to guard against nomadism in the north, the Great Wall line of the enemy's situation, then smoke during the day, ignition at night, the platform is connected, in a very short time, the news can be transmitted from the frontier to the imperial capital.

Before, it was the Ming army in Jiangxi and Huguang who built beacon towers on the front line to prevent the Qing soldiers from suddenly entering the army, and now it is Hong Chengchou who sets up beacon towers along the river, he may just want to know the movements of the Ming army's naval division earlier, but from this small change, it can also be seen that the situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties has slowly reversed.

When a group of Qing officials stood at the head of Jiangning City and saw a little bit of beacon fire, the river outside Zhenjiang City was already under fire.

The naval warships of the Lu Jianguo have 500 large ships, nearly 100 small boats, and 20,000 soldiers.

The Qing court garrisoned 6,000 troops in Zhenjiang City, and there were more than 600 large and small warships in the water village outside the city, with 10,000 soldiers.

In the dark night, the two sides did not dare to organize a large-scale battle, the Qing army did not dare to come out in the water village, and the Lu Jianguo side sent only two No. 1 Fu ships for naval battles, each carrying 28 heavy guns, to bombard Zhenjiang City.

Not every warship of the Ming army was equipped with artillery according to the regulations of the naval division, and the fact is that most of the Ming army were warships except for a small number of ships equipped with cannons.

The same is true for the Qing army, after all, it all follows the rules, and the Qing army does not have so many artillery.

These two No. 1 fortune ships are the treasures of Lu Jianguo's town army, the strings of the ship are facing Zhenjiang City, the red-clothed cannons roar, and the head of Zhenjiang City is frightened.

After the shelling lasted for half an hour, the Ming army took advantage of the darkness to rush to Guazhoudu upstream and anchored.

Zhenjiang Water Battalion, Qingjiang Waterproof Division and Taihu Water Division, there are 1,200 flag soldiers, and there are more than 11,000 green battalion soldiers.

Hong Chengchou's task for the two major sailors was to block Haikou from approaching Jinling, but last night Haikou had already broken through the Zhenjiang River and arrived at Guazhou in the upper reaches.

In this way, the Qing army's naval division, which was originally in the upstream, became the downstream, and the Ming army occupied a favorable terrain.

Liang Huafeng and Guan Xiaozhong did not recommend pursuit, Bashan was repaired by the Ming army before, and he didn't dare to express his position, but the Manchu general Kakam thought that he had to go to war and couldn't let the Ming army run to Jiangning.

The Manchus were worried that the Han people would not do their best and secretly surrender to the light, so they would send Manchu commanders such as Bashan and Kaqam to lead the sailors in the future.

Although Guan Xiaozhong and Liang Huafeng are Han Banner people, they are not Manchus after all, if the Qing Dynasty is defeated, the Han people can still be their big officials in the future, but the lives of the Manchus are difficult to protect, and the future is absolutely not to be considered.

Since Hong Chengchou confessed that he could not let the Haikou enter the hinterland of the Yangtze River, then the Kaqam must follow, as soon as the Han people saw the hard bones, they shrank back, but the Manchus had to face the difficulties of the Qing Dynasty.

At that moment, he used 500 banner soldiers as a superintendent, drove more than 10,000 green battalion soldiers onto the ship to fight with the Haikou, and declared that anyone who retreated from the battle would be killed directly, and he would not be merciful at all.

10,000 green battalion soldiers, at the urging of the flag soldiers, boarded the ship, Liang Huafeng, as the actual commander, ordered the soldiers to hang the battle flag on the boat and sail out of the water village first.

The Tithamliuba Mountain guarded the village, and led 500 flag soldiers to board the ship to supervise the battle, but the water is not as good as the land, and the flag soldiers can be cut with a knife when they encounter deserters on the land, but on the river, this supervision battle is obviously ineffective.

Nearly 500 warships of the Qing army went out of the water village and hung up full sails, fortunately the wind direction was right today, otherwise the boat could be washed to the mouth of the Yangtze River by the river and not with the wind.

In the early morning, Guazhou crossed, Lu Jian Guo Zhu Yihai wore a crimson four-clawed dragon robe, wore a winged crown, a jade belt on his waist, and stood on the boat with a sword in his hand, looking at it by the railing, only to see countless warships coming in the direction of the Qing army's water village, and the Qing army's sailors were putting on a decisive battle posture.

Zhu Yihai waved his hand, and the soldiers on the bucket immediately hung the battle flag on the mast, and the drums on the Dafu boat were erected. \u000b The two sides approached, the water battle began, the red-coated cannon with the longest range, the first to fire, the two sides separated from each other, they desperately fired artillery, the iron bullet smashed into the river, and the water column gradually became more than three feet high.
