pinched the request for help document from the beginning to the end, Zheng Chenggong easily changed it to a surrender letter, and directly shot people into the city. On www.biquge.info second day, Guan Xiaozhong immediately sent the messenger to explain, and Zheng Chenggong did not use this to bargain further, but showed a generous attitude.

Zheng Chenggong besieged Jiangning, but Li Zhichun and He Wangsheng, who were still in the army when they were in Zhenjiang, had already left.

As a direct Zhejiang economic strategy, Li Zhichun wanted to mobilize all kinds of rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, among which Qian Yingkui from Suzhou and Songjiang had been specially contacted by him before, but he hesitated a little whether to go or not this time.

"Is this true?"

"The whole Taihu Lake has been spread, can there be a fake?"

The conversation with Li Zhichun was a Confucian scholar from Suzhou Prefecture, named Pingyuan. said that he was a Confucian student, but now he is the leader of the anti-Qing rebel army, but the number of his rebel army is a bit small, there are dozens of men, and they are all fellow villagers and clansmen.

Because he is a Confucian student, Li Zhichun attaches great importance to it, and this time he specially came over on the way to mobilize Qian Yingkui, but who knew that he heard such a big bad news.

"If you want to say that the king of Huiji County is different, if you agree with the Yanping Domain, you can send the head of the old battalion like the Nantang Battalion to go out and come across the sea to fight the Su Song Water Division, and the result is to win. Nantang camp, that's the old camp head brought down by the king of Huiji County from Dalan Mountain......"

Pingyuan's face was longing, and Li Zhichun's face was not good-looking. did not inform Chen Wen in advance, this is what he warned Zheng Chenggong, because Chen Wen has the advantage of being close to the water compared to the Fujian Ming army that came from the sea, but Zheng Chenggong still told Chen Wen. The most terrifying thing is that not only Zheng Chenggong told Chen Wen, but Chen Wen actually sent an army north to help contain it, obviously his instigation before was not heard by Zheng Chenggong at all.

Zheng Chenggong now has reached the general trend of recovering Nanjing, and Chen Wen still has to face the Eight Banners Army in Hangzhou, at least most of the south of the Yangtze River is untouchable. There is Zhang Huangyan in the upper reaches of Nanjing, that is a scholar, Li Zhichun believes that this person can always listen to a thing or two, but Zheng Chenggong made it clear that his own idea is bigger, and it may not be possible to make it possible this time to drive the tiger from the front door and enter the wolf at the back door.

This time, Zheng Chenggong's army was led north, in order to block this unfriendly warrior of the gentry before Chen Wen had accumulated enough strength to start sweeping Jiangnan. Now their influence on Zheng Chenggong is obviously very small, in the future, Zheng Chenggong will play the banner of the Northern Expedition, and the army will encroach on Huaidi, and the demand for goods is naturally indispensable, and they cannot develop to the south.

In addition, Qian Yingkui, this is the leader of the rebel army that he has gone to recruit many times before, but now he is mixed up with Chen Wen's subordinate Ma Xin. What this means, I'm afraid it's even more detrimental to them.

Li Zhichun's worries obviously did not affect Pingyuan. At this moment, Confucian scholars had already admired the Ming Army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and they didn't notice that Li Zhichun's face was getting more and more ugly.

"Early this morning, the students also heard that the king of Huiji County defeated Yue Le, the prince of An, in Hangzhou and beheaded his people......"

"What did you say?!"

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Pingyuan just told Li Zhichun about the rumors coming from the market, but Li Zhichun stood up all of a sudden, his face pale, as if a sudden illness was coming. But in the next second, Li Zhichun's face suddenly turned back, and even faintly showed a hint of joy.

………………

Li Zhichun went all the way south to take advantage of the momentum of Zheng Chenggong's victory in Zhenjiang to stir up the anti-Qing movement in the entire south of the Yangtze River. In contrast, He Wangsheng returned from Zheng Chenggong's army only ten days after leaving Zheng Chenggong's army, and he was ready to camp under the city of Nanjing with a righteous army.

These days, He Wangsheng has actually been running in Nanjing and Zhenjiang, and the Ping Yitong he had contacted before, as well as Zhang Chongfu, Wu Yonggong, Wei Ben and others also arrived soon, if it weren't for those private contacts or the rebel army that was formed, it took some time to organize, and they would have come to the city of Nanjing.

It's just that this time he came with this group of dozens of small leaders who could talk, but what appeared in front of He Wangsheng was a military camp that was completely different from that of Zhenjiang, so that He Wangsheng once thought that he was in the wrong place.

On the riverside, groups of Fujian Ming troops held simple fishing rods and nets, catching river fish on the river bank and in small boats on the shore. Beside them or behind them, one after another, half the aged, or only a few years old, the anticipation on their faces, whenever a river fish is caught or netted, it does not arouse the cheers or envy of those children.

At this time, those men of the Ming army who had no armor or weapons on their bodies, but looked like soldiers, would show a smile of relief, especially when they saw the children pointing to the fish in the bamboo basket or wooden basin and making that childish and innocent sound.

There was an exception to this, the man was holding a javelin and pulling his trouser leg down the riverbank, as if he was searching for something. After standing still for a moment, he immediately plunged into the water, and when he raised the javelin again, a huge river fish was stuck in the tip of the spear.

"Good means!"

Although the fishing and fishing on the riverside have attracted the attention of many bear children, more bear children have played war games in the open space between the camp and the riverside.

The bear children chased and fought, and a few of them even passed by He Wangsheng. The group of children ran over, followed by a bear child with two snot canisters hanging from him, and soon a shout of scolding came from behind him.

"Stinky boy, go out and run crazy before the wind and cold are good, my mother won't beat you out of bed today!"

The woman in the distance chased after her with a broom, and the corners of He Wangsheng's mouth trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything, but just led the group to continue to move towards the military camp in the distance according to the half-grown man who had just asked.

Soon, He Wangsheng and his entourage arrived close to the left of the camp gate. Compared with the riverside, this place is more lively, many small traders outside the camp are selling goods, and naturally there is no shortage of bargaining among the housewives, but on one side is the Jiangnan dialect, on the other hand is Hokkien, chickens and ducks speak, often have to use gestures.

At the gate of the camp, a guard was lazily leaning against the camp gate, but on the other side it was empty, but there were many men and women's clothes hanging on the walls of the barracks, as if waiting to dry and wear.

Walking to the front of the camp gate, the guard seemed to be standing and squinting, He Wangsheng went up and coughed, the guard raised his eyelids, glanced at He Wangsheng's official uniform, and said impatiently without asking.

"Don't go inside if you want to see the king, go around and ask others."

After that, his eyelids drooped again, and he seemed to be squinting again, and he didn't know what kind of physical labor this guy did last night, so that he couldn't lift his spirits when he stood guard today.

He Wangsheng was the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and now he is the soldier of the Yongli Imperial Court.

Other people's territory, besides, they who represent the interests of the southeast gentry are still in the honeymoon period with Zheng Chenggong, so naturally there is no need to do anything for some trivial things. Even He Wangsheng only thinks that there are more old officials of the Ming Dynasty who have come to the world or seclusion recently, but what he has seen and heard along the way really makes him a little incomprehensible.

"Is this the Yanping Clan showing weakness to the Tartars in the city, so as to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"Not like that."

I really don't want to, what I saw along the way didn't look like a military camp at all, but more like a simple, dilapidated town rising from the ground, otherwise how could there be so many women and children.

What's more, along the way, except for some impatient detectives who came forward to inquire when they just entered the search range of the Fujian Ming Army's Tanma, no one questioned their identities along the way, at most some doubtful glances flashed, and then they were diverted by things such as wives, concubines, children, or livelihoods.

"Why has it only been ten days, and the mighty army in Zhenjiang with strict military discipline and forbidden orders has become such a ghost with a wife and children hot kang head?!"

………………

He Wangsheng bypassed the camp in Qianfeng Town with doubts in his heart and went to Zheng Chenggong's main camp. It's just that he doesn't know at this moment that his doubts are now where Zheng Chenggong is worried and helpless.

"If the soldiers' families want to eat fish, can't it be finished by letting the auxiliaries catch them, and can they use the soldiers?"

Zheng Chenggong was very angry, this is not the first day of such a thing, two days ago, the household official Yang Ying patrolled the camp, and as a result, he saw Yu Xin's Qianfeng Town soldiers leaving their posts without permission and running to the river to catch fish. At that time, he called Yu Xin to scold him, but after a few days, Qianfeng Town is still like that, and the same is true of other battalions, as if the families of the riverfish of the Yangtze River will not be able to survive without this mouthful.

Since the 9th of May, the advance arrived close to Yifengmen, and the siege of the city officially began on May 12, and it is now May 22, and Zheng Chenggong's army is only a short eleven days under the city.

At first, it was okay, the various departments acted according to the order, rode everywhere, secretly sentry everywhere, and the golden drum in the city was also endless, and the training never stopped for even a day. However, when the families of the soldiers arrived at the city of Nanjing, the atmosphere in the army changed drastically almost overnight.

When the family entered the camp, the joy of reunion was first, mixed with the tears of the families of the fallen soldiers in Gua and Zhen. Reunion is a happy event, but the Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for peace, and the funeral must be specially organized.

In the first few days of the seventh day, the battalions were full of families and relatives and friends of the fallen soldiers wearing linen and filial piety, and paper money was scattered all over the camp.

Zheng Chenggong won two great victories in Guazhou and Zhenjiang, killing a large number of Qing troops, but his own losses were very few, and the exchange ratio was very gratifying. But looking at the camp again, it is as if the Fujian Ming army has just experienced two devastating defeats, and God knows why the "fiasco" Fujian Ming army ran to Nanjing City to do funerals.

After the funeral, the joy of reunion began to be reflected in all parts of the camp, and there were even happy events such as marriage and worship.

It's no wonder that after two great victories, many soldiers of the Ming army who were not familiar with them began to make friends with more robes, and the wedding date had been set before, but in today's atmosphere, it is naturally not good to miss the auspicious day. Blowing, playing, and singing are indispensable, and it is inevitable to set off firecrackers to celebrate and celebrate, and there is joy everywhere, and the atmosphere of slaughter in the army has disappeared.

Zheng Chenggong's army is claimed to be 170,000, but in fact there are tens of thousands of troops, and there will only be more family members than this number, not less than this number. Suddenly there are so many family members, what a big market this will be, since the Ming army sentinels themselves also have needs, there is no intention to stop them, the surrounding small traders will naturally come to make a windfall, make some quick money to live.

As for fishing and other things, it is a manifestation of the soldiers' conscious and voluntary efforts to improve the living conditions of their families, and it is inevitable today.

All of this is inevitable, but the twelve hours of the day never change. The wife and children are hot on the kang, patronizing these, patrolling, training, these things naturally have no time, and the overall sloppiness has intensified until today.

"If this continues, the army will not have the will to fight, how can it be done. Tomorrow we will start to rectify military discipline, and if we can't do it, we will send the families of the soldiers back to the ship! ”

When He Wangsheng arrived, Zheng Chenggong was angry at the generals. Along the way, the military discipline of Zheng Chenggong's main camp was still relatively clean, probably because it was right under Zheng Chenggong's nose. But the other places were so miserable that He Wangsheng also had the idea of speaking on the road, but as soon as he entered the big tent, he heard Zheng Chenggong's generals objecting to this, so he didn't intervene.

"My lord, if you can't see your family on the side, I'm afraid the soldiers will be dissatisfied."

It's not like Zheng Chenggong hasn't heard similar words, but every time he patrols the camp, the report he gets is like this, which really makes him unbearable. But the military spirit is like this, and it must not be disobeyed, otherwise if something happens in the camp surrounding the city, it will be a complete matter.

In an instant, Zheng Chenggong even remembered the old incident of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming Army murder veterans. The army is a group with extremely strict requirements for military law and discipline, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, Chen Wen faced a situation similar to his current situation, the difference is only that if you don't pay attention to your body for a long time, you will be sick for a long time and there will be no medical treatment for a long time, while the other is a sudden illness, if you can't take medicine at the first time, you will die immediately!

"Go back and clean up military discipline and tell your subordinates, if you can't patrol and drill normally, your family will go back to the ship."

The generals were ordered to leave, and Zheng Chenggong had a brief meeting with He Wangsheng. The rebels camped on the side, which was a good arrangement, but the current situation changes are more worthy of exchange.

"My lord, the lower officials have been everywhere these days, and the people of Jiangnan have all cheered at the victory of the king's division, and the situation is very gratifying."

"What He Shilang said is very true, it just so happens that this king has also received a few good news, and he is about to talk about He Shilang." Zheng Chenggong took out a few letters and information on the table, and began to talk to He Wangsheng one by one.

"This king received a good report from Zhang Shangshu, and now the Wang division of the army has recovered Ningguo, Taiping, Chizhou, Guangde Prefecture and Wuwei Prefecture, and is now appeasing the people everywhere."

"A few days ago, Li Jingluo sent someone to send military information, saying that the king of Huiji County sent troops to Songjiang and defeated the local Su Songshui division, and Liang Huafeng's thief was only spared. In addition, there are rumors that the king of Huiji County won the field battle under the city of Hangzhou and beheaded Yue Le, the prince of An. ”

Zhang Huangyan's success is what He Wangsheng and they are looking forward to, and the results of their efforts are indispensable. But the latter thing made him feel a little complicated, but as soon as the rumor came out, He Wangsheng calmed down a little, especially the fleeting arrogance between Zheng Chenggong's eyebrows, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"There is also a copy that was delivered just before the military meeting, saying that the Governor of Tartar Caoyun was ordered to put together a group of rabble and wanted to go south to relieve the siege of Nanjing, but on the way, the guy actually jumped off the boat and committed suicide......"

It is rare for the Qing army to be afraid of war, but it just proves how strong Zheng Chenggong's momentum has reached now. In any case, these are all good things, and now that the situation of the Ming army is very good, even if there are some unsatisfactory places in it, He Wangsheng feels that this is not intolerable.

At noon, Zheng Chenggong's main camp held a banquet for He Wangsheng and his rebels as usual. At the same time, in the urn city of Jubaomen, a defeated army that had lost its armor and lost its armor entered it, and was being strictly inspected by Ma Guozhu and the high-ranking officials of the defenders such as Tithami and Guan Xiaozhong.

Among them, a military general riding a variegated war horse looked at the tall city wall from afar and couldn't help but sigh.

"Nanjing, after a big turn, is back again."
