Chapter 171: Battle Huzhou Chen Gong retreated at night

As early as August, Fang Guoan cooperated with Wang Zhiren and other troops to recover Fuyang, Yuqian and other places, and once approached Hangzhou, but failed to succeed.

Zhang Cunren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty, said in a report to Dolgon, "The traitors Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren crossed the river from Fuyang to invade Hangzhou. The deputy generals Zhang Jie and Wang Dingguo were sent to encircle and suppress them, beheading 4,000 people, and the remaining thieves were entrenched in Fuyang. He also ordered Dingguo to chase it back, defeated Fang Guoan, captured his son Fang Shiyan and others, and beheaded him. ”

Fang Guoan had previous failures, and naturally had an understanding of the combat power of the Qing army in Hangzhou, but the Lu regime was eager to go down to Hangzhou in order to gain the prestige to fight against Emperor Longwu.

He listened to Xia Wanchun's words of persuasion, and was silent for a while, and only after half a sound did he say: "His Royal Highness has sent 100,000 troops, if he has not made an inch, he will retreat to the south bank, he will be ashamed of the world, and the people's morale can not be vented, even if he retreats from the army, he must win for a while!" ”

When Xia Wanchun heard this, his face couldn't help but be stunned for a while, knowing that King Lu's regime had lost his heart in order to seize the throne, and he was in a hurry, so he persuaded him as he wanted, but he was only a scholar in a middle school, and he was also close to the Longwu court, so King Lu's regime naturally couldn't listen to his words.

Fang Guoan saw that Xia Wanchun was silent, and he knew some of his thoughts, but sometimes, people always couldn't help themselves, even if he knew that he might be defeated, but the current situation of King Lu's regime did not allow him to retreat easily, and there was also a trace of luck in his heart, so he said: "If you can't go to Hangzhou before the 25th, you will definitely persuade King Lu to withdraw your troops, and before that, please ask Xiao Yin to tell Chen Gong that he must stick to Huzhou no matter what, and don't make the Qing army support Hangzhou." ”

Xia Wanchun had no choice but to respond, and he didn't meet King Lu, so he hurriedly returned to Huzhou.

Chen Zilong has been guarding the city for four or five days, and when he saw Xia Wanchun returning, he hurriedly asked about the situation in Hangzhou, but Xia Wanchun said: "I'm afraid I will be defeated." ”

Chen Zilong was shocked when he heard this, he knew his talent as an apprentice, and knew that he would not say this out of thin air, so he hurriedly asked the reason, and Xia Wanchun told him what he had seen and heard outside Hangzhou one by one.

"The dispute between Tang and Lu is not the blessing of the national dynasty!" Chen Zilong quickly agreed with Xia Wanchun's judgment.

Tang and Lu broke up, and from the perspective of the position, the Lu Jianguo regime was on the front line of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, providing a barrier for the Longwu regime to the south.

The power of Lu Jianguo was weak, and he should have relied on the Longwu regime in Fujian, backed by the southeast, and Xu Tu was enterprising, but because Lu Jianguo insisted on fighting against the Longwu court, Zhedong lost the support of Emperor Longwu, and Zheng Zhilong, who was unwilling to send troops out of Fujian, was even more happy in his heart, and he finally had an excuse to stay still.

In the land of eastern Zhejiang, against the Qing troops in the south of the Yangtze River, the defense was still insufficient, but the Lu Wang regime was in a hurry to attack Hangzhou, and failure was inevitable.

"Let's stay until the twenty-fifth day!" Chen Zilong couldn't help but sigh, the country's fortunes were sluggish, and the times were not smooth, all he could do was to hold Huzhou and avoid King Lu's army from being attacked by the Qing army on both sides, hoping that they would not be defeated too ugly.

Outside the city of Huzhou, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde shelled Huzhou every day, except for the first few days when the infantry army stormed the city, but these days rarely attacked the city, so that the pressure on the defenders was suddenly reduced.

Kong Youde's army is an old thief who has followed the north for many years, very elite, Chen Zilong was very worried, whether he could hold until the 25th, and now seeing that he no longer stormed the city, he was relieved, but Xia Wanchun felt that the situation was a little abnormal and had doubts.

Many people in the rebel army believe that this is Kong Youde after the initial siege failure, feeling that he could not break through Huzhou in a short period of time, and did not want to have too many casualties among his subordinates, so he changed the siege strategy, but Xia Wanchun felt that it would not be so simple, the internal law of the Qing court was strict, especially for the treatment of Han generals, if the order was advanced, and the order was retreated, if there was a slight disobedience, he would suffer heavy punishment.

On the night of the twentieth, Xia Wanchun was depressed and couldn't sleep, so he followed the city to look, but he met a warrior in a night suit, climbing up with a rope, and was just taken down by the soldiers.

The warrior did not resist, only said that there was something important to report to Chen Shilang, and Xia Wan Chun was curious, and then brought him to Chen Zilong. Chen Zilong asked, and the martial artist saluted: "Heaven and Earth will meet Chen Gong at the beginning of the Qingmu Hall. ”

Hu Weizong was ordered by Wang Yan to return to Jiangnan to form the Heaven and Earth Society, and incorporated a lot of rivers and lakes in Caoyun, and the remnants of the Jinyi Guard who happened to be withdrawn from Nanjing City were also active in Caoyun, so he carried the silver taels taken out from Yangzhou and incorporated them into the Aoki Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society.

These Jinyi guards are all good at espionage and espionage, and now with the support of money, some of the relationships that had been abolished were suddenly re-established, so that the Heaven and Earth Society would soon gain a foothold in Jiangnan.

This time, Yu Taichu came to see Chen Zilong, but it was Hou Fangyu who was lurking beside Hong Chengchou who spread the news that Duoduo intended to let Kong Youde contain the Huzhou defenders, and he personally led the water division to attack the rebels' water village on Taihu Lake.

Chen Zilong and Xia Wanchun listened to Yu Taichu's story, and their hearts were suddenly shocked, Xia Wanchun immediately admonished to withdraw from Huzhou and protect the water plug, but Chen Zilong hesitated in his heart, worried that the army of King Lu of Hangzhou would be defeated by the Qing army because of his withdrawal from Huzhou.

Seeing this, Yu Taichu said: "The Heaven and Earth Society has already reported to King Lu quickly, and the Boluo Army outside Xianxia Pass has also secretly returned to Hangzhou, and it is no longer meaningful for Chen Gong's soldiers and horses to guard Huzhou!" ”

When Chen Zilong heard this, he sat down dejectedly, although he had already prepared to face failure, but when failure came, he couldn't help but feel gloomy for a while.

That night, Chen Zilong ordered his soldiers to plant more flags in the city, and put straw men to defend the city, so he evacuated Huzhou with the righteous army overnight and returned to Taihu Lake.

One day, Duoduo led the sailor to Taihu Lake, he thought that Chen Zilong was still in Huzhou, and the Taihu Lake water plug was only guarded by Wu Yi and a small number of righteous soldiers, and led the big boat to the water village, but he didn't want Chen Zilong to return a day early, and set up an ambush, with hundreds of small boats full of firewood, grass and fire oil suddenly killed from the reeds, the Qing army could not turn around, and suddenly hundreds of ships were burned, the Qing army was defeated, and Duoduo fled from Taihu Lake in a hurry.

In the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture, although the army of King Lu got the news of the Heaven and Earth Society, it failed to attract attention, and even the righteous soldiers of the Heaven and Earth Society who went to report failed to see the leading general, so they were sent back.

Soon, Boluo's army was killed from the west, and the army of King Lu, which was not dominant, was suddenly defeated, and the general Fang Guoan was the first to flee, and 100,000 horses were suddenly defeated.

After this battle, there were 11 deputy generals captured in King Lu's army, and 48 generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, and garrisons.

After the failure of the battle of crossing the river and recovering Hangzhou, the ambition of the Lu Jianguo regime suddenly disappeared, and basically turned to the river to defend against danger, and no longer had the determination to forge ahead.
