At noon, the Qing army suddenly exerted force, the Qing army in Jiangbei attacked Rizhao Port, and the Qing army in Denglai besieged Rizhao City on three sides - there were fortress groups built along the way from Rizhao City to the harbor, and the artillery had a long range and great power, and the Qing army did not dare to touch it.

Rizhao City, the artillery of the Datong Army fired first, and the sound of a round of fire salvo sounded immediately, and Rizhao did not lack a factory for manufacturing guns and gunpowder, and greeted the Qing soldiers vigorously - there were mines on the soles of the feet to explode, and there were cannons smashed down at the head of the city, and the oncoming guns were as dense as raindrops, and the artillery of their own side returned fire but they were weak, and the fire guns in their hands were not easy to use, and the green battalion soldiers were knocked down one by one.

"Brothers, the sunshine trade is big, and there is silver in the city, rush in and make a fortune!" The officers were hoarse and morale-boosting, and the Green Battalion soldiers were bold and rushed forward with a roar, but they certainly couldn't make a fortune, and Shen Shoulian, the director of the General Colonial Bureau, had already fled to Ryukyu with the silver in the treasury.

"Sons, the northern captives ruined my clothes and hairstyle, they are the enemies of Huaxia, rush up and kill them!" Zhang Ruoqi and a group of gentry also led the village soldiers to help the Qing army, these guys were more ferocious than the green battalion soldiers, and they rushed forward with dead and wounded, but they forgot the big pigtails on the back of their heads.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, the Qing army and the township soldiers rushed through the first trench regardless of the heavy casualties, the guns of the Datong army could not stop the flow of people like a tide, the first breastwork was immediately lost, the living soldiers withdrew into the fortress to continue fighting, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted, and they crossed the second trench and strangled together with the Datong army behind the second breast wall - the green battalion soldiers had never been so desperate when they were Ming troops before, why did they suddenly change their sex? Hao Shaoqi shook his head, ordered his soldiers to "blow the trumpet, and the whole army launched a counterattack", and raised his shield and axe to the front.

The military horn sounded, the Datong army shouted and rushed to the Qing army, Wu Dalang patted Zhang Wensheng next to him, "If you don't have a guy in your hand, you can quickly load the sword", pulled out the ancestral treasure knife and jumped out of the chest wall - Zhang Wensheng dared to shoot the firecracker, but he was afraid of seeing blood, and the work of killing chickens at home was done by his wife, and he hurriedly installed the sword, but his legs were like pouring lead and he couldn't move a step.

"Cowardly man, others have gone up, and you are still stupid!" Zhang Wensheng's ass was kicked hard, and when he looked back, Chuncao was standing behind him with a walking gun, and he was so frightened that he ran forward.

The eldest brother rushed too fast, and he disappeared when he entered the enemy group, fortunately, there was Wu Dalang in front, this guy had practiced martial arts, and he was the leader of the militia squadron, so it was right to follow him - Zhang Wensheng was very good at calculations, but he didn't want this to be a hand-to-hand combat, Wu Dalang only cared about killing himself, how could he take care of him, a Qing soldier with a pockmarked face suddenly pounced, and the bright sword stabbed to his chest, Zhang Wensheng's heart was cold, he closed his eyes and raised his gun to parry, and he heard a click in his ears but no pain, When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Qing soldier was stupid with the broken sword, Zhang Wensheng instinctively raised the gun and stabbed it directly, and practiced this action repeatedly every year in the Spring and Autumn Exercise, and now it really came in handy, and the Qing soldier fell to the ground in pain.

"Beiyu, the ancestor is here, aren't you afraid of the destruction of heaven and earth?" An old man covered in blood struggled to his feet, holding up the tablet of Confucius in his hand.

"You dare to call me Beiyu, go to death!" Zhang Wensheng was a little excited to kill someone, and another straight stab stabbed the old man down, and he was a little sober when blood splashed on his face, the old man may be a showman, maybe he is still a lifter, how can I kill a scholar!

"Sectarian Zhang, are you waiting for death? Kill the enemy. Wu Dalang cut down a few Qing soldiers in front of him, and shouted to pull Zhang Wensheng back to reality, he howled in pain, raised his gun with red eyes and followed behind Wu Dalang.

The melee was close to dusk, the corpses under the city of Rizhao were all over the place, the screams were endless, the green battalion soldiers could not withstand the long-term white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat, the city was smashed by a round of flowering bullets, the nerves finally collapsed, and the army fled backwards - the day finally passed, but the battalion soldiers and militia lost more than a thousand, and the port was also fighting fiercely, it was impossible to send reinforcements, and it was impossible to fight again, the Datong army retreated to the third breastwork, and the thousands of people stranded in the city also gathered to prepare to retreat.

The Qing army resumed the offensive in the afternoon of the next day, this time the gentry's village soldiers did not appear, their weapons were poor, lack of training, more people died, they must have been scared - the Datong army retreated to the city root defense, the people in the city also poured into the city wall to participate in the battle, the cannon fire was more violent, the Qing soldiers rushed all the way to the third trench with casualties, and jumped down in a panic to avoid the rain of bullets, but unexpectedly this trench was deepened and widened after the moat dried up, and it was easy to climb out and difficult to climb out.

"Throw a thunderbolt into the ditch and burn these thieves." Hao Shaoqi gritted his teeth and roared, the ditch was covered with dry grass poured with fire oil and gunpowder in advance, and a thunderbolt was thrown over and a raging fire ignited, and thousands of Qing troops crowded in the ditch had nowhere to escape, the screams were endless, the smell of burnt skin and flesh was diffused everywhere, and the Qing army behind was so frightened that they were scattered, and they crawled and fled.

As night fell, the city of Rizhao was also on fire - it was better to burn their homes with their own hands than to leave them to the enemy, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city bid farewell to Rizhao City with tears and retreated in a long line to the port.

Hao Shaoqi walked silently with a pole, Wu Dalang and Zhang Wensheng drove a carriage past him, he glanced at the spring grass and Jin Lian on the car, patted Wu Dalang on the shoulder, and then turned his head and asked his brother-in-law: "Are you still afraid of war?" ”

"I'm not afraid, but I don't want to kill!" Zhang Wensheng raised his head and replied.

The team had traveled less than ten miles to join the militia who had come to meet them, and further on there was a group of their own bastions, and they could return safely.

Rizhao Harbor is now a huge fortress, with five wide and deep circular trenches extending to the sea, behind each trench there are breastwalls, fortresses, strong and tall fortresses at dangerous places and junctions, and heavy artillery on the turrets at the commanding heights. All the people of the Datong Federation are soldiers, and the citizens have the responsibility of guarding their homes, and the fire gun is labor-saving and easy to use, men, women, and children will play, and when the war comes, everyone is vying to fight, and the defenders quickly swelled to 60,000, and Newkhov and Saigo Youjiang also selected from 30,000 foreign immigrants and sailors from various countries to form 5,000 volunteers to participate in the war - Hao Shaoqi led his troops to withdraw safely, and the Rizhao army and people cheered thunderously, and the confidence of repelling the Qing army doubled.

Rizhao Port was as solid as a rock, and the Jiangbei Qing army of Tuo and Li Jiantai was broken and bloodied, and Ke Yongsheng was not comfortable fighting Rizhao City, losing 3,000 people and only getting a piece of ruins. There were less than 50,000 people together, and Dolgon's edict to urge the war had arrived, and after complaining with Tuo Dafa, he ordered the two armies to attack together, and to take Rizhao Port at any cost.

The Qing army went crazy, swooped down on the port with dense guns, and paid more than 3,000 lives for five days of fierce fighting, and finally conquered four trenches and three breastwork, but the green battalion soldiers fought more and more weakly, and the above set of fighting methods was nothing more than to send them to death, then everyone had to find their own way to survive, and a green battalion of more than 1,000 people shouted "Shandong people do not fight Shandong people", and surrendered to the Datong army.

The besieging side surrendered to the besieged side, this is a new thing, Wang Fang and Sun Fuhu were interested, and immediately found the Qing army guerrilla questioning, this guy is an old camp bastard, he patted his chest when he entered the door and said, their team came from Huai'an, and they never did anything that hurt the heavens and reason, his name is Zhao Erbao, he is Liu Dashuai's Caozhou fellow countryman, when Liu Dashuai and Datong were good in the past, he also escorted the Datong caravan, and now Liu Dashuai was brought to Beijing by the Tartars, and the brothers were also split into pieces, everyone didn't want to do it for a long time, if the Datong army was paid in full, I guarantee that I can bring a few more people over.

Zhao Guerrilla then complained again: "The weapons issued by the Dongyu are simply nonsense, so the guns are either blown up or the flintlock machine cannot be burned, and the guns are still broken when they are touched, and they bragged that the 5,000-pound camp cannon is like flying, and the place where the cannon falls is a piece of erosion, and the brothers are tired and tired to drag the cannon here, and they can't shoot a few times a day, but your guns are accurate and fast, and the brothers don't want to die again." ”

It turned out to be Liu Zeqing's descendant, this is easy to do, Sun Fuhu said with sympathy and comfort: "Liu Dashuai and I are very familiar with me, but unfortunately I was confused for a while, how can I listen to Dongyu's nonsense and enter Beijing, raising the flag is a fart, and if there is no soldier in his hand, it is the meat on the board, I am afraid that Lao Liu will not come back, brother, you are right, you should find a way out earlier." ”

"Who said it wasn't, it's a pity that Liu Dashuai is such a good person, my lord, I'll do it with you, whatever you say."

"We have established a new rule here, when we see a civil official called sir, and when we see a military attache called a chief, we are not allowed to call adults indiscriminately in the future," Wang Fang waved his hand, looked at Zhao Guerrilla with a look of pity and said, "However, the Datong Army only recruits citizens as soldiers, brother, you might as well find a job first, and then become a soldier after you have survived enough years to obtain citizenship." ”

"What do you mean by a citizen?"

"It is a person who can straighten his waist and be a man without being oppressed by the court and the government."

"I want to be a citizen, but I don't know anything but to be a soldier, my lord, no, sir, is there a way to become a citizen right away?"

"Then there is only military merit, and it must also be a prominent merit."

Zhao Guerrilla slapped his thigh and shouted: "I have made military merits, and the brothers of the Green Battalion are panicked and don't want to fight again. ”

That night, the elite of the 5,000 Datong army launched a counterattack, Zhao Guerrilla led his men to the front, and when approaching the enemy camp, he suddenly let out a strange scream, and the Qing army immediately collapsed on the whole line, and the Datong army chased and killed twenty miles and returned victoriously - Liu Zeqing's old foundation has this ability, and when it is dangerous, he will disperse, and then he can get together.

After this battle, the Qing army no longer had the fighting spirit and began to work without contribution, but Dolgon had no time to take care of them - Shandong was in big trouble.

Compared with the Jiangbei Qing Army, Denglai Qing Army, Shandong Qing Army is more unlucky, Yimeng two mountains are Shandong Datong Army operating for many years of old nests, the people are united, the weapons are fine, there are camps and fortresses in dangerous places, the Qing soldiers are beaten everywhere in the mountains, every day dead people, it is not easy to conquer a camp, the opponent also ran in advance, running around for a month to exhaustion, but the results are few, Shandong Governor Ding Wensheng, the general soldier Bai Yongfu was scolded by Dolgon in a hurry, and he sent troops into the mountains for reinforcements.

The rear of the Qing army is empty, the time for the external counterattack has come, Sun Erkui led the cavalry from Mengyin, sneaked hundreds of miles to Jining City, Bayanha with more than 200 full soldiers to open the city gate, Datong Iron Cavalry swarmed in, disarmed 2,000 green battalion soldiers, more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers stationed in Jining carried their families, originally planned to fight to the death, but saw Bayangha and his group relieved, with his wife and children out of the camp to surrender. Sun Erkui's sneak attack was successful, and he burned down the wharf and water pass, and the captured boats were also loaded with stones and sank to the bottom of the river, and then went up more than 100 miles north along the canal, causing great damage along the way, and the canal was not navigable for three months after this catastrophe.

Ding Wensheng learned that there was an accident in the canal, and felt cold air on his neck, and immediately ordered Bai Yongfu to lead the army back to help, but it was not easy for the Qing army to go, Liu Qian and Liu Tichun's former association set up an ambush halfway, and annihilated Bai Yongfu and more than 2,000 horsemen who had entered the ambush circle in one fell swoop. Bai Yongfu was defeated, the Qing army was in turmoil, they fled to the mountains, were intercepted and killed by the militia along the way, Ding Wensheng fled to Tai'an to collect deserters, more than 50,000 Qing troops entered the mountains, and less than 40,000 came out.

On August, the joint Asian fleet arrived in Rizhao, not only brought a large amount of food, but also transported Peng Dashun's 20,000 new troops, the morale of the Rizhao army and the people was greatly boosted, and they took the initiative to attack, the Qing army fought hard for nearly two months, the food and salary supply was intermittent, the morale was low and had no intention of fighting, and Tuo personally led the army to counterattack, and was killed by the chaos, Li Shuitai and Ke Yongsheng saw that the general trend had gone, and each led the remnants to flee in embarrassment - the Rizhao defense battle was a complete victory, and the Shandong Datong army reversed the defeat.

At the time of the fierce battle in Shandong, the situation in other battlefields also changed dramatically:

Beizhili, Zhou Yuji did not get the nickname of "Zhou Tiepan" in vain, and quickly built a defense line about 100 miles long from north to south to the east of Huailai, and then gritted his teeth and did not retreat, Shi Tingzhu and Banaha repeatedly attacked, but were bitten by Zhou Yuji, and when they came back to their senses and found that they had been deceived, Hou Shijie's Buyi Town and Jin Guoding's Gun Cannon Second Town had been covered and killed. The combat strength of the three old troops of the Datong Army was too fierce, and the Qing army could not resist and fled to Juyong Pass, but the Buliu Town of Haishan succeeded in the sneak attack and conquered the Badaling of Beiguan, and Shi Tingzhu and Banaha had to retreat into the south entrance and never dared to leave the pass again.

In Henan, Chen Yongfu, director of the Bureau of Soldiers and Horses, sat in the Tiger Prison Pass, led the defense army to defend and not retreat, Azig continued to attack in vain, Zhang Ding led the army to come to reinforcements, the two chess opponents, the battle was difficult to distinguish the winner for several days. Azig gnawed on the hard bones, and simply concentrated the elite of the Eight Banners to attack the newly reorganized Bu 17 Town Wang Tingchen Department and Bu 18 Town You Renjun Department, Wang Tingchen and You Renjun were of course not opponents, and they were beaten and fled, but Zhang Ding also took the opportunity to defeat the 30,000 Henan Green Battalion soldiers, and Azig had to turn around and fight with Zhang Ding again. At this time, Tie Biao's Bujiu Town suddenly entered Guide Mansion, Qin Hu's Buqi Town also defeated the Qing army of Zhangde Mansion, Azig was attacked on three sides and retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Henan Prefecture south of the Yellow River was all lost - Azig was angry after the defeat, and scolded the Green Battalion soldiers for being a waste and only worthy of fighting thieves, he reported to Dolgon that if he did not replenish enough Eight Banner soldiers, he could only hold Zhangde Mansion.

Nanzhili, Datong and the Qing War together, the old marshal Du Wenhuan took the lead, Cao Bianjiao, Hu Dawei two in one fell swoop to conquer the city of Chizhou, and then along the south bank of the Yangtze River eastward, the target is directly to Wuhu, the Qing army Zhang Tianlu, Bu Congshan and other departments hurriedly reinforced, blocked the way of the Datong army in Tongling, the two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days, it was difficult to distinguish the victory. The old marshal made a ruthless move again, sent Li Dingguo's cavalry five towns to attack Jiangbei, Datong iron cavalry swept all the way to Luzhou City, Bu Congshan led the army across the river to help, and met with Datong iron cavalry in Lujiang on a narrow road, 20,000 Qing army green battalions were wiped out, and Bu Congshan also died in the chaos. When the news of the defeat reached Nanjing, Duoduo did not panic, pinched the elite of the Eight Banners in his hands, but threw a large number of green battalion soldiers into the battlefield, and at the same time encouraged the literati and gentry to defend the famous religion. The green battalion soldiers in the front fought more and more, and there were gentry in the rear who raised the banner of "helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the captives and protect my famous religion" to make a rebellion, and the five towns of the cavalry came from the north, and they could not withstand the continuous battles in the hot weather, and the men and horses continued to fall ill, and the Datong army could not support it until the end of July - the strength of the three towns of the infantry and cavalry was not enough to take Nanjing, and Du Wenhuan was forced to order the whole army to retreat to Anqing, and at the same time urged Ma Guangyuan to end the war in Zhejiang as soon as possible.

The battlefield in Zhejiang is like a farce, Ma Guangyuan led the main force to conquer Fujian, and the temporary presiding over military affairs was the former Wuxuan School chief teacher Xi Mao Yuanyi, who had just been transferred to Jiangxi, learned that the Qing army had entered Jinhua Mansion, Mao Yuanyi transferred the only Ren Shouzhong in his hand to the new sixteen towns in Zhejiang, and sent people to Hangzhou to comment, but Bolo hid in Shaoxing, and Zhang Cunren also avoided it - Bolo and Zhang Cunren were also very aggrieved, and Belle Luck Dehun was ordered to replace Duoduo to preside over military affairs, and when he arrived in Nanjing, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and found that Jinhua Mansion was still in the hands of Zhu Dadian, a scholar of the Lu Dynasty. immediately led Li Chengdong, Gao Jinku and other green battalion soldiers to suppress, but it didn't take long for Dolgon to regret it again, and ordered Duoduo to stay in Nanjing, and Lucketthun returned to Beijing to resume his life.

Nanchang and Hangzhou can not dialogue, the Datong army can only prepare for war, according to the meaning of Nanchang, Zhu Dadian has a very bad reputation, in the governor of Shandong, the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Fengyang, the governor of the United States of Shandong, the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Fengyang, after cutting officials back to Jinhua's hometown, and even if the slaves are harming the township, this kind of person is left to fend for himself, and the Datong army can just hold its own territory. Ren Shouzhong was very obedient, stationed in Quzhou Mansion City and did not move, but the garrison Gao Yigong found that the Qing army that entered Jinhua was the soldier of Gao Jie, a rebel general of the Chuang Army, and he couldn't bear the new hatred and old hatred, so he made an appointment with Quzhou garrison Wang Deren to kill Jinhua Mansion City, and the miscellaneous soldiers of the two could not beat the Qing army. Ren Shouzhong had to send troops at this time, he was not afraid of the green camp Qing army, with 10,000 new troops against 50,000 Gao Jie's remnants did not fall behind, and won a small victory, Bolo's face could not be hung up, and he personally led the army from Shaoxing to aid Jinhua, and Ma Guangyuan also arrived at this time, the two sides were evenly matched and were not sure to win, and began to look at each other, and then tacitly attacked Jinhuafu City, the Ming army defending the city could not withstand the onslaught of two strong armies, Zhu Dadian ignited gunpowder and blew himself up when the city was broken.

The Datong army and the Qing army attacked the city at the same time, the sword was about to be fired, Ma Guangyuan suddenly led the army to run, the Qing army happily received the whole city, but within a few days it suffered from the epidemic, three or four hundred banner soldiers died in Jinhua, including the fierce general Tulai, Bolo was so frightened that he threw down the green battalion soldiers and led the Eight Banners Army to flee to Hangzhou as if he were dead.

During the epidemic in Jinhuafu, both sides had no intention of fighting again, and Ma Guangyuan and Bo Luo coincidentally led their main forces to aid Jiangnan - that is the main battlefield.
