Since that day, the Qing army inexplicably won the victory in the battle of Hengshuiyang, the Qing army arrived at the Luotou Gate west of Zhoushan City in the afternoon, and divided half of the troops to stay on the ship to prepare to intercept the Ming army that returned to Zhoushan, and the other battalions quickly completed the landing under the leadership of the Han army's Zhenglan Banner Jia Lazhangjing Chen Dianmo and others, and arrived at the city of Zhoushan the next day and began to attack the city.

It was the early morning of the second day of September, and as the commander of the expedition to Zhoushan, Jin Li sat under the banner of the Chinese army to facilitate the command of the siege troops.

Although it was learned from the mouths of the captives that the defenders of Zhoushan were weak, these days, with their courageous fighting and suppression of firepower, the Qing army, which had an absolute superiority in strength, was still unable to advance an inch.

On the sea, the Ming army heard the news of the return fleet, trapped under the city of Zhoushan on land, as the commander of the Jin Li, can only strictly order the Qing fleet to defend to the death, at the same time, launched a round of almost uninterrupted offensive against Zhoushan City, in a vain attempt to completely crush the defenders of Zhoushan by virtue of the superiority of troops.

It's just that even so, under the artillery fire and hard fighting of the Ming army, the Qing army besieging the city was still powerless. In this way, it was not until yesterday that Jin Li saw the possibility of winning.

On the first day of September, Jin Yunyan, the chief officer of the Chinese army under Zhang Mingzhen, who was among the Zhoushan guards, saw that the gunpowder in the city was exhausted, so he surrendered the city. Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanji, the chief of the city patrol, also went out of the city to surrender to the Qing. The two officials in charge of guarding the city reported all the details of Zhoushan City to the Qing army in exchange for the capital to steal their lives, and this also made Jin Li aware of the crucial military situation that the gunpowder in the city had been exhausted.

Since there was no more gunpowder in the city, the artillery used to destroy the siege equipment and cover the dead soldiers of the Ming army was useless. Seeing this, Jin Li immediately ordered the Qing army to dig tunnels while erecting ladders to attack the city, trying to use this to kill into Zhoushan City.

However, even if there were city guard officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the fighting spirit of the Ming army did not diminish at all. After beheading Qiu Yuanji's son and spreading the four gates, the morale-boosting Ming army fought hard at the head of the city, thwarting round after round of offensives of the Qing army that attacked the city overnight, until this time.

Jin Li knew that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhoushan City was always an important coastal defense place along the east coast of Zhejiang.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang set up Zhoushan to guard thousands of households on this Zhoushan Island; In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Xinguo Gongtang and inspected the coastal cities, changed Zhoushan to guard thousands of households to Dinghaiwei, and garrisoned troops; In the 20th year of Hongwu, Dinghaiwei was moved to the east gate of Xiangshan, and Zhoushan was relocated to Dinghai Zhongzhong and Zhongzuo; After Zhengde and Jiajing, the Japanese were seriously troubled, and the coastal defense was particularly heavy, and the city of Zhoushan was also renovated many times, and it was also known as Yanguan.

After Jiashen, Huang Binqing, who was then a general of Zhoushan, went north to King Qin and was appointed as the general of Jiangbei and stationed in Anqing. Later, he was introduced by Huang Daozhou to Emperor Longwu, and was named Su Lubo, and returned to Zhoushan, where he has since been self-defeating.

During this period, including Zhang Guozhu's attack on Zhoushan and was defeated by Ruan Jin, Zhoushan has experienced many wars and infighting, and the owner of this city has also changed from Huang Binqing to the king of Jianguo Lu, but it has never been captured by the army, and the integrity of the city is much higher than that of many prefectures and counties in the interior. In particular, Lu Jianguo took this as the back, and vigorously strengthened the city defense, and set up a large number of artillery positions as a way to defend the defense, which was by no means so easy to dig up.

The gunpowder in the city has been exhausted, and the siege equipment of the Qing army has arrived under the city, and the Qing army has greatly restrained the limited energy of the Ming army by constantly sending soldiers to climb the ladder to attack the city.

Since yesterday, the Qing army has been digging continuously, and after a whole night, the officer in charge of supervision reported that the tunnel under the western city wall has been excavated, and as long as the pre-buried wood is burned, the city wall will completely collapse without support. And the critical moment is right now!

"The city has fallen!"

The words of the Qing army in front fell, and with a rumbling collapse, Jin Li stood up and watched the collapse of the west wall of Zhoushan. The smoke and dust dissipated, and a gap several zhang wide appeared in front of the eyes of the Ming and Qing armies.

"All the troops! Kill all the thieves, the children in the city and the goods, you can take them yourself! ”

Jin Li gave an order, and the long-awaited Qing army rushed into the city from the gap. Previously, the Qing army dug the city, and the Ming army was not unaware, but the strength was limited. After the gunpowder is exhausted, the defense of the city wall is already the limit, how can there be more troops out of the city to block the exit of the tunnel, or dig ditches in the city to counteract.

Igniting the wood in the tunnel, in order to prevent accidental injury, the Qing army's attack stopped, and the Ming army knew that it could no longer defend the city wall, so it had to retreat into the city under the leadership of Liu Shixun, the general of Anyang, Zhang Mingyang, the governor of the capital, and Ma Tai, the general soldier of Zhongzhen, preparing to fight to the death.

………………

Under the Xuejiao Pavilion of the residence of Zhang Kentang, the first auxiliary minister, Zhang Kentang was wearing a python suit, wearing jade around his waist, and sitting facing south.

At this moment, the shaking and loud noise of the collapse of the city wall had been heard, and Zhang Kentang's wife, concubine, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and the servant women in the family were making their final farewells.

The Qing army has already invaded the city, and it is impossible to repel it with only 500 soldiers and thousands of brave soldiers, but if it falls into the hands of the Qing army, it will inevitably be ravaged, and it is only delusional to die quickly.

The farewell ended quickly, and after saluting Zhang Kentang, these ladies of the Zhang family threw themselves into the water in turn, and ended their lives cleanly, leaving only innocence in the world.

Under the pavilion, Su Zhaoren, a student of Zhang Kentang and the director of the Ministry of Rites, stood sideways here. Originally, he had come to discuss government affairs with Zhang Kentang, but now that the city had been broken, he was not sure that he would be able to return home smoothly, so he asked Zhang Kentang for a sword and waited for this last moment.

"Teacher, Su Zhaoren is one step ahead."

After that, Su Zhaoren pulled out his sword, held the sword across his neck with both hands, exerted the strength of his whole body, and after spurting out a cavity of blood, he fell to the ground, and there was no longer life.

"Sir, he will die one day in the affairs of the state, and the trillion people should be pioneers."

Su Zhaoren was dead, but the oath he had made seemed to still be in Zhang Kentang's ears, he forcibly suppressed the tears that had been rolling in his eyes, summoned the old servant who had followed him for many years, walked to Su Zhaoren's body, and sprinkled a glass of water and wine on the ground.

"Yintang, wait for the old man for a moment."

Back in front of the stone table, Zhang Kentang worked hard to write, and after writing "Desperate Poem", he calmly hanged himself under the pavilion.

The false name is twenty years old, and the evening is empty and sad.

It is difficult to return to the Jing Festival, and the song is righteous and continues to Wenshan.

Jun En did not repay the hatred of the disciples, and the ministers did not lose in overcoming difficulties.

Leave it with the history pen of Qianqiu, and the word "crown" should not be deleted.

The Snow Pavilion is in the residence of Zhang Ken and was built for it. Plum trees are planted on the left side of the pavilion and pear trees are planted on the right side, and the branches and leaves intersect. At the beginning of spring every year, the flowers are in full bloom, the two ends are connected, the flowers are as white as snow, so the name is "Snow Jiao", which is the place where he reads and rests on weekdays. Zhang Kentang tasted and said: Xuejiao Pavilion should be the place where it is a different day, and it is as he said.

………………

At the same time, Dong Zhining sat in the official hall during the military department.

Many years ago, he contacted Wang Jiaqin, Zhang Mengxi, Hua Xia, Mao Jukui, Lu Yuding and others to contact Qian Sule, a member of the criminal department, to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty in Ningbo, and was called "Ningbo Six Crazy Students" by the people of the time

Many years ago, he conspired with Wang Jiaqin, Huaxia, Tu Xianchen, Yang Wenqi, Yang Wenzan, Dong Deqin and others to contact Wang Yi and Huang Binqing, and recovered Ningbo in one fell swoop

Many years ago, he served in the military department, befriended Wang Yi, Feng Jingdi and others, and often contacted the mainland rebels in an attempt to recover Zhejiang......

But later, Wang Jiaqin, Hua Xia, Tu Xianchen, Yang Wenqi, Yang Wenzan, Dong Deqin and others were executed and died because of the leak over the wall; Feng Jingdi was arrested last year and died unyieldingly; Zhang Mengxi participated in the battle of Siming Lake and was not in the battle; And Wang Yi was also captured in the Battle of Siming Lake, and a few days ago there was also news that he was martyred in Dinghai.

Most of his friends and comrades back then have already taken up righteousness, but at this moment, Zhoushan City is broken, and he has no reason to steal his life!

Pulling out the sword, Dong Zhining looked up to the sky and roared, and slashed a bloody mark on his neck, and went with his old friends......

………………

In the north of Zhoushan City, a residential area belonging to the soldiers of the guard.

During this period, Liu Shixun, Ma Tai and other generals were all killed in battle, and even the soldiers and volunteers were also killed and wounded. Zhang Mingzhen's brothers, Zhang Mingyang and Li Xigong, led the last few hundred people to make a final effort to take advantage of the narrow terrain of the road.

The Qing troops who entered the street quickly retreated after paying a small number of casualties, only to send people to roughly surround the area. Now that the city of Zhoushan has been broken, there are places everywhere that can be looted, and the Qing army is naturally unwilling to fight to the death with the Ming army in this place where the poor ghosts live, after all, those who can hold on to the present are those who will die, and no one wants to die in the first second of victory.

The Qing army had retreated, and the exhausted Li Xigong sat on the ground, covering the wound in his abdomen with his hands, gasping for breath.

"Can you hold on?"

Hearing Zhang Mingyang's words of concern, Li Xigong immediately nodded, but he didn't have the strength to continue to say something.

At this moment, there were very few shouts of killing in the entire Zhoushan City, and there was all the wild laughter of the Qing army and the angry scolding of the people. Zhang Mingyang and Li Xigong still have the last few hundred people, but almost all of them are people, and they can still support a moment by using the terrain of this place, if they rush out, they are afraid that they will be killed by the Qing army in an instant.

If you can't kill the city, you can't repel the Qing army, and staying here is just a helpless move with no other way, if you can replace a few Qing troops, it will be worth it. Those who can persist until this moment are all worthy of such belief, because only in this way can they do their last part for their relatives who are bound to die in the massacre of the Qing army.

Soon, another group of Qing troops entered this narrow neighborhood, and Zhang Mingzhen, Li Xigong and others beckoned the volunteers, picked up their weapons and prepared to rush forward to do the final fight. But at this moment, Li Xigong stood there dumbfounded, and even his right hand covering the wound on his abdomen slipped down.

"General Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xigong swallowed his saliva and looked at the Qing army in front of him advancing in formation, his face full of disbelief.

"It turned out to be a mandarin duck formation, how is this possible, could it be that even Chen Dashuai has lowered the tartar?!"

………………

That night, Zhoushan City had been completely captured, and the officials who stayed here in the Lu Jian Dynasty surrendered, died, or killed, and even the last group of resisters were wiped out by the rebuilt Tibiao Zuo Ying, and the people in the city were handed over to the Qing army who killed in the city.

On the morning of the next day, the Ming army, which was trying to return for reinforcements, found that the city was broken, so they no longer attacked the Qing army, but chose to lead the fleet south after a while, and Chen Jin also sent the Qing army to catch up, hoping to gain something.

At this moment, it was already night, and in the camp of the Qing army outside the city, the banquet to celebrate the achievement was still going on. Everywhere was the Qing army drinking and eating meat, they were wandering in the middle of the banquet, and even those officers were no longer in control, because they were busy boasting about their martial arts and flattering the officials, after all, no matter how strict the officers were, they would not sweep the morale of the soldiers at the celebration banquet, and it was a matter that deserved to be coldly shot.

In Chen Jin's big tent, a group of generals at the top of the pyramid of the Qing army in Zhejiang were discussing the merits of the battle with Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

Watching everyone discuss their merits with Chen Jin, Jin Li just sat at the banquet and laughed without saying a word. In this battle, he is the commander, and the Eight Banners Army is the most important in the Qing army, and he and his subordinates will definitely be able to get the largest share of the credit, otherwise even Chen Jin, the banner man of the Han Army's Blue Banner, will not agree, so there is no need for him to go out and offend people.

In the afternoon, Ma Jinbao, the general soldier of Jinhua in Taizhou, finally belatedly came to the news that the Ming army of Tiantai Mountain besieging Linhai County had been completely defeated, Yu Guowang was killed, and Chen Wen was only spared.

At that time, Jin Li read the report expressionlessly, but his heart was full of sneers. The task of this war horse Jinbao is to be the president of the Qing army on the southern front of the siege of Zhoushan, who knows that this idiot was actually held in Taizhou by the two Ming armies for so long, until Zhoushan was captured to defeat these two Ming armies, it seems that this fortune boy who is going to bleed again, otherwise how can Chen Jin, Xiao Qiyuan and others tolerate him?

The discussion is still continuing, in this battle, in fact, the merits of each department are not too much, the lucky capture of Ruan Jin, won the victory of the battle of Hengshuiyang, although it is impossible to write it on the performance of the meritorious service, but the credit is bound to be evenly divided.

There is nothing worth mentioning about the siege of the city, but after the city was broken, the last resisting Ming army defeated the Qing army several sieges, but the result was that the rebuilt Zuo Battalion wiped it out cleanly, which surprised the generals.

However, the war in Zhoushan has completely ended, and all that remains is to hunt down the King of Jianguo Lu and the remnants of the Ming army, and return to Hangzhou to enjoy these lootings. Of course, the news from Fujian still makes him feel unoptimistic, but Zhejiang should no longer have a Ming army in formation, and it will not be over if it sends troops to help suppress it next year, isn't it?

As a general of Pingnan and with the title of Gushan Ezhen, Jin Li knew very well that Chen Jin's thoughts should not be much different from him. However, the Eight Banners of Hangzhou Garrison have been mobilized this year, and next year will definitely be aided by the Green Battalion soldiers, after all, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are also the servants of the Qing Emperor, and the emperor will not be happy if these of their kind are injured too much.

While Jin Li was thinking about the war in Fujian, a messenger of the Qing army, led by Chen Jin's personal soldier captain, walked in, fell to his knees at once, handed over the document to the personal soldier captain, and forwarded it to Chen Jin.

After reading the letter, Chen Jin couldn't help but be furious after being stunned for a moment, and slapped the letter on the table at once, which frightened those Qing army generals and fidgeted.

Chen Jin had already sat down and was lucky, Jin Li stood up, opened the letter, and swept through three lines and two lines, and was also stunned on the spot.

"In August of the eighth year of Shunzhi, Chen Wen, a big Lan thief, led 7,000 thieves to invade Dongyang County, and hundreds of thousands of thieves ...... in October."

“……”

“…… The rebellion of Xu Du and Yin Can has reappeared today, and Jinhua Mansion is in an emergency! ”

It's just that the payment is not the name of the Jinhua prefect or the local garrison general, but it is written by Li Zhifang, the governor of Jinhua Mansion.
