After the meeting was dispersed, Zhang Mingzhen returned to his residence and summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Dang Hu Bo, Ruan Jin, Ping Lu Bo, Zhou Cuizhi, and Zhang Huangyan, the right Yushi, ...... Although their official positions were both civil and military, most of them were generals with military power, and if they mobilized all their forces to strike a thunderous blow, they would have a great chance of defeating those armies that agreed with Zhu Yihai's title of emperor.

"Please calm the anger of the Marquis of Dingxi, if our army is angry with each other, it will definitely make the relatives painful, and the enemies will be happy, and you must not act like this." Zhou Cuizhi persuaded hard.

In his early years, he was a fake Japanese who was rampant on the sea, that is, a pirate who pretended to be a Japanese Japanese pirate, and later returned to Zheng Zhilong, and became a member of his generals.

"I don't want to get angry, I'm just forcing them to stop." Zhang Mingzhen said: "If the prison country is called the emperor, there is an endless unsolved situation between the Tang Dynasty, since ancient times, there are no two masters of the country, and the blood between Tang and Lu will never stop, Zhang Kentang also wants to bargain with others by opening the temple to claim the emperor, it is really a child's naïve insight." ”

The civil officials always think about the righteous name, the court is in the right place or something, but Zhang Mingzhen knows that strength is the most important thing, the strength of King Lu's regime is too far behind, and rashly claiming the emperor is likely to cause a civil war...... Speaking of which, Zhang Kentang still took it for granted, and was provoked by the villain in the middle, so he made this stupid move, once Zhu Yihai became the emperor. King Lu's regime is about to face great risks, and Zhang Mingzhen must prevent this from happening no matter what.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate...... Ruan Jin is the same as Zhou Cuizhi. I also do not agree with returning to Ningbo.

If Zhang Mingzhen's troops returned to Ningbo, they would have to give up the fruits of victory during this period. will also be infamous as a criminal, and Zhang Mingzhen uses force to deter, in case the other party refuses to give in, the development of the situation will be unpredictable, and finally evolve into a large-scale fire, completely destroying the little family foundation that King Lu's regime has worked so hard to save.

Zhang Mingzhen hesitated a little, and after pondering for a while, he asked Zhang Huangyan's opinion.

There is no perfect solution to this matter. Zhang Huangyan hesitated slightly, and said slowly while thinking about it: "If our army returns to Ningbo Mansion, in general, it will do more harm than good...... The moon is dizzy and windy, the foundation is moist and rainy, everyone can know that they have just won a battle. We're in chaos here, and Tang Fan doesn't know what the chaos will look like, so let's wait and see. ”

The appearance of a halo around the moon is a sign of wind. The foundation stone of the pillar is wet, which is a sign of rain. In times of crisis, everyone can work together, and after winning the battle, they start to make their own small calculations. It turns out that the hidden contradictions are about to be exposed...... The Ming army was surrounded by mountains, and the scale of the Lu king's regime was very small. The internal situation is still so chaotic, and the situation within the Longwu Imperial Court is much more complicated, so the best way now is to brake quietly and wait for changes.

……

Tan Tai's more than 20,000 Qing troops were scattered on the east and north sides of the mountainous area of Ningzhen, plus some green battalion soldiers under Ma Guozhu, carried out crazy burning and looting in various parts of the Yangtze River, Danyang, Wujin, Liyang and other county towns and Ningguofu were successively bloodbathed, slaughtering tens of thousands of people and robbing countless grains in just ten days.

Among them, Li Chengdong's department is the most active, his general Ma Bao these days to collect the remnants of the defeated generals, and gathered more than 2,000 people, in the Ningguo Mansion City for three days and three nights before collecting the knife, as if back to the "Yangzhou Ten Days" and "Jiading Three Massacres" carnival, the whole city was burned, the people blood flowed like a river. (Li Chengdong worked very hard in the "Ten Days in Yangzhou" and the "Three Massacres in Jiading" two massacres.) ）

However, in general, due to the limited strength of the Qing army and the urgency of time, although they looted grain and burned houses everywhere, they could only destroy the villages and towns near the cities and roads, and compared with the tens of millions of Han Chinese in Jiangsu, they killed only a small part of them, far from achieving the goal of the scorched earth policy.

Tan Tai set his sights on the Yangtze River.

If he could open up the Yangtze River and turn Jiangsu into a Qianli Zeguo, his plan would have succeeded, but after working for several days, he found that the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were flat, the water was deep and wide, the water network was criss-cross everywhere on both sides, and there were huge reservoirs such as the Yangtze River estuary and Taihu Lake to discharge floodwater, and the plan to flood the south of the Yangtze River could not be realized at all...... Tan Tai bit the moon and had no way to eat, and finally opened two tributaries indiscriminately, flooding tens of thousands of acres of fields, and hurriedly retracted back to Nanjing City, repaired the city defenses, and prepared to hold on for a long time.

The situation in Zhejiang is much stricter.

The main force of the Chu army was successively transferred to the mountainous area of Ningzhen, and only one unit of Tongcheng Battalion was left in Zhejiang, plus Chen Bangfu's Guangxi soldiers, according to the Xianxia Ancient Road to prevent the Qing army from converging in Zhejiang and Fujian, there was not enough strength to launch a counteroffensive, and the Qing army in addition to Tian Xiong's troops, there were also more than 10,000 people and horses left by the Eight Banners garrison in Hangzhou and Tan Tai, which had a local advantage in strength and had plenty of time to destroy.

After receiving the news of the defeat in the Battle of Ningzhen, the Qing army withdrew from the south and west of Zhejiang, abandoned Yanzhou Mansion, Jinhua Mansion and part of Chuzhou Prefecture and Quzhou Prefecture, and retreated to the northern part of Hangzhou Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Huzhou Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture...... Because these rivers originate in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang, there is a high gap between them and the lower reaches of the northern Zhejiang Plain, and the season coincides with the rainy summer, huge floods immediately swallowed hundreds of villages and towns, submerged 1.6 million acres of farmland, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

After the flood, the affected state capitals were thousands of miles away, and the total number of people killed in Zhejiang and Jiangsu was nearly 300,000, which unveiled the heavy memories of the gentry and people in Jiangnan...... In the years between the time Duoduo went south to Dolgon's shaving order, millions of people in the Jiangnan area were slaughtered, and under the threat of butcher knives, everyone could only shave their hair and braids in order to survive, and they had been bearing the heaviest taxes in the country, but once the Manchus could not control the zhì shape shì, they were the first to raise butcher knives against them. (Similar to Anhui, the Ming Dynasty did not have Jiangsu, and the name was borrowed only to make it easier for the reader to understand.) ）

If you don't resist, you'd rather die!

From Yanzhou Mansion to Jinhua Mansion, from Chuzhou Mansion to Quzhou Mansion, the people from all over the country launched riots, killed the Manchu Qing officials, and opened the city to meet the Ming army, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan sent troops in time, while pursuing the Qing army, while recovering the lost territory, occupying Jinhua Mansion in central Zhejiang, the west of Taizhou Mansion, and the northeast of Chuzhou Prefecture, further expanding the control range of the Lu Wang regime, and the original narrow territory along the sea became a plump spindle shape.

Teng Shuanglin also took the lead, divided his troops into Quzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and part of the Prefecture Capital, actively carried out disaster relief, and Zhang Mingzhen's army did not interfere with the river water, but secretly fought for territory, plus Wang Deren, who was active in northern Zhejiang, the Longwu Imperial Court still had a slight upper hand.

At this time, Chen Bangfu behind him dropped the chain.

Chen Bangfu's Guangxi soldiers were stationed in Xianxia Zhuguan, stayed in the ravine for several months and suffered a lot, and with the help of the Zhenxiao soldiers, the Zhou Liang Gongji Department of the Fujian Qing Army has not been able to take advantage of anything, and was forced to retreat to the Twenty-Eight Capital...... The battle of Ningzhen won a complete victory, Wang Deren swept around Taihu Lake, and the Tongcheng battalion grabbed a large piece of territory in a row, which made Chen Bangfu look enthusiastic and heartbeat, and also divided two thousand troops into the south of the state capital, and occupied several county towns such as Longquan and Qingyuan without bloodshed, but Zhou Lianggong seized this opportunity, suddenly launched a counterattack, captured the four passes on the Xianxia Ridge in one fell swoop, and drove straight into Zhejiang along the Xianxia Ancient Road, Teng Shuanglin hurriedly returned to the army, and set up a defense line in the Jianglang Mountain area at the end of the Xianxia Ancient Road, blocking Zhou Lianggong at every opportunity. The collapse of the entire line of defense was avoided.

At this time, they received a military order from Wang Kefan, transferred the city camp and Chen Bangfu's headquarters to change guards, and must strictly guard the Xianxia Ancient Road, and ordered Chen Bangfu himself to go to Nanjing to participate in the ceremony of worshiping the tomb of filial piety.

"Well, I'm not going." Chen Bangfu was very short of breath and weak in heart, and said to Teng Shuanglin: "The last general has just lost the battle, Liang Guogong doesn't know yet, if he sends it to the door himself, his old man will be angry, what if he cuts off my head!" ”

"Hey, manly man, if you lose the battle, you have to admit punishment, you can't be a turtle with a shrunken head! If you lose Xianxia Zhuguan, your family should not bear the responsibility, and I am also at fault for speaking of it, so let's write a letter to Wang Junmen for you, and say that if you want to beat and punish us, how about it? Teng Shuanglin has been fighting side by side with Chen Bangfu these days, and his impression of him is okay, after all, there are too few people who can fight in the Ming official army, Chen Bangfu's Guangxi soldiers have guarded Xianxia Pass for several months, and there is no merit and hard work, as for Chen Bangfu once sent someone to assassinate Wang Kefan, Teng Shuanglin did not know.

"In that case, thank you Teng Shuai." Chen Bangfu couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and agree.

Xianxia Pass was defeated, most of his troops were defeated, after the defeat of the remnants of the army, there were still more than 6,000 people left in the whole army, including less than 1,500 armored soldiers, the strength of Yan zhòng was damaged, under the power of the Chu army's great victory, there was no capital to support the army to protect itself, so he could only obediently go to Nanjing.

After the defeat of his troops, he was resting, and he was a swordsman, I was a fish and meat, and it was useless to bring more soldiers and horses...... At the beginning, he should not have been fascinated by ghosts and tricked to assassinate Wang Kefan, this matter is likely to have been exposed, and it is more auspicious to go to Nanjing.
