After the year of Yiyou, the entire Jiangnan anti-Qing Dynasty fell into a low ebb, and there were few more than ten righteous armies that originally occupied several large cities and were active in the provinces of Nanzhili.

After the initial fierce resistance and the slaughter of millions of scholars, all the rest of the Qing court had already shaved their hair, and the foundation of Qing rule was gradually solidified.

At that time, after the anti-Qing resistance in Jiangnan entered a trough, in order to survive, the remnants of the rebel army from all walks of life approached Chen Zilong and Wu Yijun, who were active on Taihu Lake, making the Taihu rebel army more than 20,000 people and becoming the main force of the anti-Qing resistance in Jiangnan.

Chen Zilong and Wang Yan have an old relationship, so the Heaven and Earth Society fully cooperates with the Taihu Lake Rebels, and even the general rudder of the Heaven and Earth Society is located on Taihu Lake.

The water village of the Taihu Righteous Army is located on Xishan Island, which is the largest island on Taihu Lake, with a radius of more than 80 miles, and there is a Xishan town on the island, with nearly 100 fishermen.

The Taihu Rebel Army was based on Xishan Island, surrounded by large and small islands as outposts, and its power encompassed the entire waters of Taihu Lake, and even affected Suzhou Prefecture and Wusong River.

The righteous army relied on the advantage of the water to thwart the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army several times, so that the southern Zhili provinces, unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, unwilling to shave their hair, have gone to work, originally only 100 households on Xishan Island, has now gathered nearly 150,000 people.

All over the south of the Yangtze River, people who did not want to shave their hair fled to Taihu Lake one after another, but in this way, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, who ate horses and chewed, and the money and food consumed every day became a huge amount.

On Xishan Island, thousands of boats docked around the island, and hundreds of fishing boats shuttle on the sparkling lake, making the scene spectacular.

Cultivated land on Xishan Island is scarce, and fishing has become the main source of food for the military and civilians, but the fish and shrimp caught every day can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the daily consumption of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.

At this time, in a mansion in Xishan Town, Chen Zilong, Wu Yi, Hu Weizong, Jiang Tianyi, Wu Yishan, Yu Shizhong, Yu Taichu, Xia Wanchun and other leaders of the rebel army and people from the Tiandihui gathered in the courtyard.

Xia Wanchun got up and walked to the center, saluted slightly, and said to everyone: "Teacher, chief helmsman, generals, Fang today, the situation is clear at a glance, the Qing court gathered troops in the south of the Yangtze River, its soldiers are strong in the east and weak in the west, and my Ming Dynasty is just the opposite, the advantage lies in Huguang, now the state of Chu collects 100,000 people from the Shun army, and the Qing soldiers fight in Jingchu, once it wins, then I will turn the situation around." According to the Heaven and Earth Club, Duoduo transported grain and grass to Huguang, and the students thought that my Taihu Righteous Army was already short of food, and robbing this grain and grass could solve the urgent need. Moreover, if we rob this batch of grain and grass, it will make the Huguang Qing soldiers lack food, and the chances of the Duke of Chu will increase by a few percent. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zilong and Wu Yi glanced at each other, and both of them nodded, and said approvingly: "Xiao Yin's words are very much in line with my wishes, this batch of grain and grass, we must rob it, even if it can't be transported back to Taihu Lake, it must be burned with fire." ”

Yu Taichu saw that the righteous army agreed to rob the grain, so he got up and said: "Chen Gong, heaven and earth will find out that this batch of grain and grass is now hidden in Suzhou City, with 500,000 stones, and it will be loaded on ships in early March, entering the Yangtze River from the canal, and sending it to Huguang. The Qing court attached great importance to this batch of grain and grass, so there was a general soldier Yang Chengzu who led 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard it, and the guard was very tight. ”

"Five thousand green battalions, I'm afraid of what he will do, according to a certain point of view, just send troops to defeat Suzhou, isn't it okay?" After hearing this, the general Yu Shizhong got up and said.

"Yishi must not be rude~" Wu Yi heard this, reproached slightly, and then looked at Yu Taichu and said: "Zizhang, there is a lot of information about the Heaven and Earth Club, I don't know if I have any suggestions." ”

When Yu Taichu heard this, he said casually: "Wu Gong, in fact, what General Yu said, it may not be impossible, recently the Qing troops have been mobilized, and several troops and horses near Suzhou, such as Wusong General Li Chengdong, Admiral Cao Xingcun, Changzhou General Zhang Yingmeng, Wuxi General Fan Shaozu and other departments, have hurried to Jinling, so that the Qing soldiers near Suzhou are thin, maybe they can suddenly attack it. ”

When Chen Zilong, Wu Yi and the others heard this, they exchanged glances with each other, "If that's the case, you can have a fight and give it a try." ”

The generals of the rebel army, Yu Shizhong and Wu Yishan, suddenly felt a burst of joy on their faces when they heard this, but Jiang Tianyi suddenly got up and asked, "Hall Master Yu, why did this Qing soldier be transferred to Jinling, but what did Duoduo do?" ”

When Yu Taichu heard this, he shook his head, "After Xia left Jinling, the Qing troops began to move, so I don't know the intentions of the Qing soldiers yet, but Aoki Tang has a secret sauce close to confidential within the Qing court, and there will definitely be news to the general helm later." ”

As soon as Jiang Tian heard the words, he didn't say anything more, Xia Wanchun frowned and said: "Teacher, the students think that Duoduo gathers troops to reinforce Huguang, or go south to eastern Zhejiang. It has only been more than a month since Luck Dehun entered Chu with 100,000 soldiers, and Duoduo should not increase his troops in Huguang, so the students thought that the Qing soldiers might have to attack eastern Zhejiang! ”

When Chen Zilong, Wu Yi and others heard this, their faces changed, and at this moment, a man walked into the courtyard, he whispered a few words in Hu Weizong's ear, and then handed over a letter to him.

When everyone in the courtyard saw this, they knew that there must be important news coming, and Hu Weizong opened the letter, watched it for a while, and immediately changed his face.

"Chief helmsman, but what's the news from Jinling?" Seeing this, Chen Zilong couldn't help but ask.

Hu Weizong put the letter away, and then nodded: "Gong Chen, Xiao Yin's guess is completely correct, Duoduo will send 200,000 troops, and within three days, he will attack eastern Zhejiang." ”

When Chen Zilong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, "His Royal Highness King Lu last year, raised three armies, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked Hangzhou, and was defeated by the Qing soldiers, and there were eleven captured deputy generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, and garrisons reached forty-eight members, if you add the people killed in battle, the losses of soldiers and horses under His Royal Highness King Lu can be described as extremely heavy."

"Yes~" Wu Yi nodded, and said with a melancholy face: "Since the defeat last year, the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang have not taken another step across Qiantang, and they have not recovered their strength so far, and their morale is low. At this time, Duoduo attacked eastern Zhejiang, and His Royal Highness King Lu may not be able to hold on~"

Chen Zilong stood up, walked a few steps in the courtyard with some anxiety, and said to everyone: "The policy of the imperial court is to defend the east and attack the west." Eastern Zhejiang and Fujian were originally horns of each other, but His Royal Highness King Lu was unwilling to surrender to the Son of Heaven, and the Qing army attacked eastern Zhejiang, and the imperial court may not be fully supported. ”

When Hu Weizong heard this, he got up and said: "The top priority is to inform His Royal Highness King Lu of the news of the Qing army's attack on eastern Zhejiang, so that the Zhejiang soldiers can take precautions as soon as possible, and in addition, we must inform the imperial court and let Your Majesty know the seriousness of the situation." The Heaven and Earth Society has a lot of contact with Yu Jinyiwei, and can quickly send the news to Fujing, but King Lu still needs Chen Gong to send someone to go. ”

"Teacher, the student is willing to take a trip to eastern Zhejiang." Xia Wanchun saluted.

Seeing this, Chen Zilong nodded, "The situation is urgent, then Xiao Yin will go immediately." ”

Xia Wanchun bowed and retired, and Chen Zilong said: "In addition, we still need to think of delaying Duoduo to send troops to buy time for King Lu and the imperial court to deal with it." ”

As soon as Jiang Tian heard this, he got up and said: "Then hit Suzhou, 500,000 stone rice grain is not a few, I don't believe that Duoduo will not save it." ”
