Four years ago, the Ming army used Korea as a base to plunder Shandong and the coastal areas of Beizhi, and the Ming army's naval division had the ability to organize tens of thousands of troops to raid the Qing army from the sea.

Historically, Zheng Chenggong set out from Jinxia and went north along the coast, where he organized a siege of Nanjing with a claim of 100,000 people.

It shows how powerful the sailors of the Ming army were at that time, and at the same time, even the Western European powers in the Age of Discovery were difficult to organize such a battle that spanned thousands of miles.

The Ming army invaded the Qing Dynasty, the whole grand strategy, Wang Yan attracted head-on, Dai Zhifan was responsible for flanking and outflanking, and in the small battlefield of Xuzhou, the Ming army adopted the same strategy, led by Dai Zhifan 130,000 foot cavalry, frontal onslaught on Xuzhou, Man Dazhuang led the water division, inserted between Beizhi and Shandong, cut off the continuity of the two places, and captured Jinan, in order to force the Qing army in Shandong.

Why not go ashore directly from Tianjin Wei and attack Beijing? Dolgon knew that the Ming army was powerful, and no matter how urgent the battle in Shanxi or the south was, there were always nearly 30,000 Qing troops in Beijing who did not move, and the Ming army was to prevent a surprise attack from the sea.

However, after all, the strength of the Qing army is already at the end of the crossbow! If he can defend Beijing and deter Beizhi, he can't control Shandong, take care of one thing and lose the other, and always find opportunities for the Ming army.

The origin of the Five Loyal Army is still in Qingzhou, Shandong. Although the Zhao Army and the Shandong Righteous Army, in the end, thousands of people escaped the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, but the original backbone of the Five Loyal Army was undoubtedly the Shandong Righteous Army.

Time flies, ten years have passed, the original 1,000 people of the Zhongyi Battalion have withered away, especially during the change in Fujian, Wang Wei and the Zhongyi Battalion died in order to protect Emperor Gaozong, and there was little left of the old man in Shandong.

This time to fight Shandong and Henan, the old men in Shandong in the Ming army have already boiled.

Qin Shangxing and Zhao Shenkuan, who were ramping the Ma army, were the leaders of the Shandong Righteous Army, and they expressed to Wang Yan early on that they wanted to participate in the operation to recover Shandong, but because of the needs of the Heluo battlefield, Wang Yan did not agree to their request.

The Ma army must appear in Heluo, so that the Qing army will feel that the Ming army is mainly attacking the Central Plains, and Qin and Zhao did not go to make it, but among the remaining old people in Shandong, there are still a few people who can make it.

Qian Yifeng of Qingzhou, he was born in Xiucai, after Wang Yan arrived in Guangdong, he turned to a civilian position, knew the affairs of Qiongzhou, and was later promoted to the capital transfer envoy, Guangdong according to the inspection envoy. Because he was transferred to a civilian position, he had fewer opportunities for meritorious service, so his current grade and title are lagging behind Liu Shun.

When he heard the news that the imperial court was going to recover Shandong, he wrote to Wang Yan several times, saying that for so many years, what he was most worried about was whether the clansmen were still there? Is the ancestral tomb intact? For ten years, he could only see these scenes in his dreams, and hoped that Wang Yan would let him take a look.

When Dai Zhifan stormed Xuzhou, the East China Sea Division, under the leadership of Man Dazhuang, quietly set sail from Haizhou, bypassed the Shandong Peninsula, and came to the mouth of the Yellow River.

The Yellow River was originally to the south, confluence with the Huai River and then into the sea, but a few years ago, when Xie Qian and the Yuyuan Army rose, the Qing army dug the Yellow River and let the water of the Yellow River rush northward in order to exterminate the Yuyuan Army, flooding Caozhou and other hundreds of miles, exterminating most of the Yuyuan Army, and the Yellow River was also diverted and poured into the Yellow Sea from the north.

On the night of 18 March, more than 500 warships of the East China Sea Division arrived at Laizhou Bay.

The Qing army in Shandong was mainly concentrated on the front line of Xuzhou, and the rear was extremely empty, only Jinan still had some troops, so the naval division did not hide, and directly anchored in the sea near Qingzhou, and only waited for dawn to go ashore and pounced directly on Jinan.

At ten o'clock in the night, the sky was full of stars, and the sea was very calm, Qian Yifeng stood at the bow of the ship and did not return to the cabin to rest.

"Prison Army, are you thinking about the old things in Qingzhou?" Man Dazhuang walked out and stood next to Qian Yifeng.

Qian Yifeng said with a smile, "Du Fu once wrote a poem" outside the sword suddenly spread to collect Jibei, and the first time I heard it, I was full of tears. "This official is luckier than him, he can personally participate in the recovery of his homeland, and he has no regrets in this life!"

"Prison Army, the change in Qingzhou has been ten years!" Man Dazhuang listened to his words, and he also felt some feelings in his heart, "We finally survived!" ”

"yes!" Qian Yifeng couldn't help touching the beard on his face, and in a blink of an eye, he was already middle-aged.

The two sighed on the big boat, but a sentinel boat of the Ming army cruising on the shore suddenly noticed the movement, and a soldier on the boat said and exclaimed, "Hey, there seems to be someone on the shore." ”

"Where? I didn't look at it. "The little flag leading the team on the boat looked over when he heard the sound, but he couldn't see clearly in the black light!

Several other soldiers looked at it, but they didn't find anything abnormal, and couldn't help laughing, "I said you are not luminous?" It's dark, there's someone there! ”

The soldier who spoke out first was said by everyone, and then he couldn't see anything, but he thought it was really wrong, and he touched his head a little embarrassed, and wondered: "Is it really me who is dazzled?" ”

"Alright, let's paddle back!" Xiaoqi waved his hand and prepared to burrow into the cabin.

At this moment, people on the shore suddenly shouted in unison, "At sea, watch out for fireboats!" As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden killing sound on the shore, and the flames soared into the sky.

The little flag was shocked, he didn't have time to think about it, he pulled a soldier over, and shouted: "Call the police, let the fleet raise the anchor!" ”

The sailors of the Ming army, who were moored on the seashore, had already discovered the movement at this time, and Man Dazhuang walked to the side of the ship and asked loudly, "What's the situation?" ”

"Dudu, there's movement on the shore!" The officers and men on the ship shouted in unison.

"What's going on?" Man Dazhuang asked repeatedly.

"I don't know, there's firelight, and shouts of killing!"

Man Dazhuang's face sank, and he ordered loudly: "Raise the anchor first, raise the sails..."

After the Ming army fleet left Haizhou, it was discovered by local fishermen when it was in Dengzhou, and then informed to the Qing court's government, and the Dengzhou guard immediately reported to Jinan.

Jinan was guarded by Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong, and Wang Zhongqing, the general soldier of Shandong.

This Wang Zhongqing was originally only a defender in the Dengzhou area, because when the Ming army pretended to be a Japanese and plundered the coastal area of Shandong, many places in Shandong were broken by the Ming army, but only Wang Zhongqing's Dengzhou suffered less losses, so he was favored by the Qing court and gradually became the general army of Shandong.

He has been in Dengzhou for a few years, and his governance is not bad, especially since most of his subordinates' families are located in Dengzhou, so Dengzhou is very close to him and can report news to him.

After getting the news, Wang Zhongqing knew that something was wrong, and the Ming army was taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing army in Shandong was fighting in Xuzhou, and wanted to outflank Jinan and cut off Ma Guanghui's back road.

After Wang Zhongqing discussed with Fang Dayou, he decided to ambush at the mouth of the river first, preparing to take advantage of the darkness of the night, and the Ming army ships could not move after they anchored, so he planned to attack the Ming army warships with small boat fire.

He has been defending the sea in Dengzhou for several years, has experience in this area, and once used this method to burn several large ships of the Ming army.

This time, he originally wanted to wait for the evening to be later, and most of the Ming troops were asleep, so he let the soldiers take a small boat full of firewood and firewood, close to the Ming army's big ship, and then let the Ming Dynasty's sailors be destroyed with a fire, but he didn't want him to be preparing, but another group of men and horses suddenly appeared on the shore, and warned the Ming army, ruining his good deeds.

"Junmen, what should I do if I am discovered?" A green battalion general said, pressing his knife.

"Military Gate, there is a group of men and horses that are killing on the shore!" Another general panicked.

Wang Zhongqing gritted his teeth, "The one who loaded the oil and firewood immediately attacked the Ming boat, and the others fought with the town!" With that, he drew his sword and led a group of Qing troops standing on the shore to kill the fire behind him.

On the naval warship, many soldiers suddenly began to shout, "Fire! Fire! "Dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared on the shore, and one of them collided with a Ming Dynasty fortune ship, and a burst of flames immediately rose.

At this time, the sailors understood what was going on, it was the Qing army that wanted to sneak attack and attack them with fire, but fortunately, someone warned them in advance, and the Ming warships had already anchored and raised their sails.

The chaos on the shore lasted for most of the night, and when dawn came, it quieted down.

In the early morning, the Ming army sailors who left the shore came to the shore again, and there was still the destruction of the fireboat last night on the sea, but there was no trace of the Qing army on the shore.

Man Dazhuang stood at the bow of the boat a little annoyed, last night the Qing army sneak attack failed, but he was startled, he almost capsized in the gutter, and because of the panic, the Ming army collided with many ships and the Qing army burned, so that he lost four boats and injured more than ten boats.

"The Qing army on the shore seems to have withdrawn." Qian Yifeng frowned and looked at the shore.

"Humph!" Man Dazhuang snorted coldly, "If they don't leave, let me catch them, Lao Tzu will skin them!" ”

While the two were talking, a group of people suddenly poured out from the woods on the shore, wearing cloth clothes, holding turbans, and holding weapons of various colors, among which there were also flags interspersed, on which the characters "Wang" and "Ming" were written.

This should be the man who warned the sailor last night, and the equipment should be the rebel army active in Shandong.

"The sea is the king of Chu's men and horses?" A rebel general on the shore rushed to the beach and shouted.

Man Dazhuang naturally didn't have to hide his identity, and an officer on the ship replied: "We are the Daming East Sea Division, and we are controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" After speaking, he added, "Where did you come from?" ”

The general on the shore did not answer, but rode back, and after a while, he heard only the crowd on the shore jubilant. Those righteous soldiers waved their weapons excitedly, thundered with joy, and some even shed tears of excitement.

Seeing this, Man Dazhuang immediately sent a boat to pick up the leader of the rebel army on the boat.

Not long after, several of the rebel generals came from the boat, Man Dazhuang and Qian Yifeng stood on the deck, the latter saw the person who came up, suddenly stunned slightly, and blurted out: "Shijie? ”

A leader who came up was stunned immediately when he saw Qian Yifeng, and two lines of turbid tears flowed down.
