After receiving Duoduo's order, the Shandong Zhunta Army immediately moved south. Read the full text of the latest chapter

Zhun Ta is now in Dezhou, the total number of Qing troops in Shandong reached an astonishing 30,000, the army came all the way along the Grand Canal, straight to Xuzhou, its menacing. Although Zhun Ta is said to be inlaid with a white flag and a solid mountain, it is not a person with a white flag, but it is loyal to Dolgon, and Duoduo is the presidential system of the Manchurian Three-Way Army, and I heard that he was going to attack Nanming, and he did not have half a word of nonsense.

After Liu Zeqing retreated without a fight and completely abandoned a large area of land and people, local rule was in chaos. There were local officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there were local governments set up by the army, and the people's hearts were in turmoil. After the Qing army took advantage of the weakness to enter Shandong, it encountered fierce resistance from officials loyal to the Dashun Dynasty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, especially the local gentry who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing army adopted a severe policy of repression against Shandong, and Zhunta scattered all over Shandong with 30,000 horses, but it was not so easy to assemble for a while, and it was not so easy to attack Xuzhou.

But Xuzhou didn't know this.

On March 20 of Hongguang in the Ming Dynasty, Xuzhou Shi Kefa received an urgent military report that a cavalry of Jiannu had arrived in Pei County, and the Qin army stationed there almost did not take any resistance measures, and quickly retreated to Xuzhou.

Pei County is a place in the original rivers and lakes, and it is the land of fish and rice in the north. There are three rivers in the territory: Dushan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Fengshui, Qingou, Turbidity River and Grand Canal, and further south is the Yellow River, which is not suitable for light cavalry rush. It's a pity that there have been many droughts, and the lakes and rivers have dried up, which is a smooth road for the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry.

Soon, this Qing cavalry hit the edge of the Yellow River and began to set up collection boats to cross the river one after another.

And Xuzhou is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and it is immediately exposed to the enemy.

Gao Jie's place of governance was in Xuzhou, and the Qin army was up and down, with a total of 100,000 men, women, and children. When he marched into Henan this time, almost all the elites of the generals were taken away, and although there were many people and horses left in Xuzhou, there were no more than 10,000 real soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was extremely poor.

Standing on the city of Xuzhou, you can already see the ships of the Qing army coming and going on the Yellow River, unloading a war horse and a cart of baggage onto the riverbank, no one knows when they will attack the city, and how many men and horses will come

。

Panic spread in the city, and in the morning of the same day, the gentry and big families of the entire Xuzhou city poured out of the city gate with their families and fled to the south. By noon, ordinary people also began to join the ranks of the fleeing, until they went down, and the Qin army that stayed in Xuzhou also began to move.

At the beginning, Qin Jun didn't actually think about giving up Xuzhou. The enemy situation is unknown, and Jiannu is notorious, so the generals in the army feel that it is appropriate to send Mrs. Xing and Major General Gao Yuanjue to Yangzhou first. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if the lady and the young general fall into the hands of Jiannu, the problem will be serious.

The situation of the war in Henan was unknown, and Mrs. Xing also felt that it was a little dangerous for her and her son to stay in Xuzhou, so she handed over the defense of Xuzhou to Shi Kefa, and ordered her subordinates to listen to the orders of the Shi Pavilion Department and go out of the city.

After all, it is the wife of the chief military officer and the major general of a town, Gao Jie has robbed the place since he entered the Jianghuai area, and accumulated a huge amount of property. Moreover, these things are all Qin Jun's family foundation, and they must not be discarded. So, the treasury was opened. The team carrying luggage was mighty and dragged out for more than ten miles.

When she left, she misunderstood the ordinary soldiers of the Qin army, thinking that the army had lost the battle and wanted to flee, and there was a roar, and the entire Qin army rushed out of the city with their families. For the escape, the Qin army did not have any psychological burden, they went from Shaanxi to Henan, then from Henan to Shanxi, and finally fled to Jianghuai, and it was the normal state of the army to move thousands of miles.

Tens of thousands of men, women, and children rushed south like an avalanche, mingling with the people, completely out of control.

Shi Kefa, who was stationed in Xuzhou and supervised the Northern Expedition, was in a dilemma. He didn't know anything about what was going on in Henan. But he knew that if he abandoned Xuzhou this time, not only would the Northern Expedition military operation be completely bankrupt, but after losing this strategic place, he was afraid that Jianghuai would not be able to hold it. In fact, the best move at this moment is to rectify the order of Xuzhou by thunder means and defend the city. Jiannu is not good at attacking fortifications, and has never taken a big city under the previous southern invasions.

As long as you hold on for a while, until Jiannu's morale is depressed, and Gao Jie's army comes back to help, maybe you can get a big victory.

But at this time, Shi Kefa panicked, and his heart was in chaos. Unlike his political opponent Ma Shiying, who has commanded the army abroad all the year round, and has been trained to understand the world, his eunuch journey has been very smooth, even if he later cooperated with Lu Xiangsheng on the battlefield, but he has no interest in military affairs, and he is still a layman.

When Jiannu attacked, he felt that he could take the lead in the first battle before the enemy had crossed the Yellow River, and attacked it halfway, and felt that for the sake of safety, it was better to organize men and horses to defend the city

。

Two thoughts were intertwined in my heart, but for a while, I couldn't make a decision.

In fact, at this time, Shi Kefa still had more than 300 personal soldiers on hand, and when Mrs. Xing left Xuzhou, she only went to the gold and silver in the treasury, and the grain, grass, armor, and ordnance were too much and not easy to transport, so they were all left. At this time, there are still many poor people in the city who stay at home because they have nowhere to escape, and if they are given weapons at this time to defend Xuzhou, there should be no problem.

But Shi Kefa hesitated, and by the next morning, Jiannu had already crossed the river and went directly to Xuzhou City.

The city was in chaos, Shi Kefa was completely stunned, and there was only one sentence in his heart that was shouting repeatedly: "Xuzhou is over, the Northern Expedition is over." Xuzhou is over, the Northern Expedition is over......"

"Shousuke, go, go, it's too late!"

"But...... Where can the old man go? ”

Seeing that Shi Kefa had fallen into chaos and lost his soul. Several family members glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped forward, surrounded him out of the city, and ran wildly.

Xuzhou, which was not defended, fell into the hands of the forward troops of Zhunta in this way.

The most important cities of the Central Plains, the gates of the Jianghuai and Southern Ming Hongguang regimes were opened.

……

"Zhun Tower actually went south......" After hearing the news of the fall of Xuzhou, Sun Yuan was shocked, and couldn't help but slap himself, a thousand mistakes, all my fault, I actually forgot about Shandong Jiannu.

In fact, in real history, after Gao Jie was killed in Henan and the rest of the army was dispersed, the people of Xuzhou were in turmoil, and the whole army retreated, which made Jiannu choose a cheaper.

This time, because he saved Gao Jie, saved Qin Jun, and changed history, he was suddenly relieved. I thought there should be no problem on the Xuzhou side, but I didn't want the enemy to suddenly kill.

Unexpectedly, Shi Kefa and Mrs. Xing of Xuzhou threw this strategic point to Jiannu without firing an arrow.

The loss of the gateway to northern Jiangsu, the whole situation suddenly became bad.
