The bows and arrows, firecrackers and artillery of the Ming army in Fujian caught the main cavalry of the Qing army by surprise, and batches of Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies and cavalry of the Green Battalion were killed and fell from their horses, "killing more than 1,000 people, and the rest of the army was defeated", and there was a great chaos for a while.

At the same time, the Iron Man Army, which was still fleeing to the two wings just now, turned back to kill, and the rout that intercepted the Qing army was slashed and slaughtered again.

At the beginning of the war, the situation was completely adjusted, and the officers of the Eight Manchurian Banners, such as Bao Jintai, the leader of the Yellow Banner, the Saltai attached to Heshuo, the second-class light car Captain Menggetu, the Yellow Banner Xiao Cavalry School Bahari, and the Zhengbai Flag Xiao Cavalry School Ahani, were all hacked to death, and even the Guan Allegiants who pressed the rear were also dispersed by the rout.

The front army has been completely defeated, but Guan Allegiance has not given up, no matter how fast the infantry of the Ming army runs, it is not as good as the cavalry, so he retreated backwards, while reining in the rout, until he retreated to the slope of the Silver Mountain, he finally suppressed the position, reorganized the team, and the whole army dismounted and lined up.

The cavalry had proved useless, and despite the allegiance, he still did not believe in evil, so he simply took out the array foot combat that the Manchurian Eight Banners were good at. Unexpectedly, the Eight Banners Army abandoned their horses and fought on foot, and the Fujian Ming army, which was pursuing after the victory, immediately rushed up as soon as they regrouped, as if they were afraid that the Qing army would escape.

The Eight Banners Army, which failed in the cavalry charge, entered the stage of infantry combat and could not change, and the unilateral massacre had appeared for the third time.

The commander abandoned the army and fled, and the Qing army, which had lost the infantry battle, collapsed, and fled to the rear in a hurry, scattering the Han gunners, gunners and green battalion soldiers behind the formation. The rout of the Qing army fled down from the slope of Yinshan Mountain, the slope was steep, the wild escapees lost their front hooves, and the pieces were tripped by the rout soldiers who fell in front, and so on, rolling like a flood of angry waves, and the rout soldiers further behind stepped on the dead and wounded accomplices and continued to rush down the slope, and for a time the death and injury were not counted just by stampeding.

Under the slope of Yinshan Mountain, it is the typical terrain of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with narrow roads and ravines. The Qing army fled down, but unexpectedly, it rained heavily at this time. For a time, "those who cross the ditch die in the ditch, and those who cross the river die in the river", which is miserable. The Ming army that caught up was in Fujian all the year round, and had long been accustomed to the rain and mud in the south, and it was another massacre when it landed.

On the way back, the Qing army "filled the ravines and scattered corpses all over the field", and the Eight Banners Army was cut down and killed, and even the green camp was left.

A few days ago, Guan Xiaozhong set out from Nanjing with an army of 15,000, and when he fled back, only 37 Qing troops from the 300 Qing troops of the Changzhou Green Battalion participated in the battle, and only 80 cavalry of the 500 soldiers of the Zhenjiang Green Battalion escaped, and the infantry was wiped out. Only 140 of the 2,000 Jiangning Left Wing Four Banners and 2,000 Han Army Eight Banners led by Guan Xiaozhong fled back to Nanjing, and everyone was "terrified, and the planners retreated."

The Qing army fled, and all the horses, camels, armor, bows and arrows, and firearms they carried were captured by the Fujian Ming army. In this field battle of nearly 50,000 people between the two armies and the Fujian Ming army, in addition to a few injuries in the front, the Fujian Ming army was seriously injured and killed only a few people, which was a unique exchange ratio in the history of Ming and Qing wars.

The surname of the country is mighty!

………………

Zheng Chenggong relied on the flexible use of iron army and firearms to play the Eight Banners Army in the palm of his hand, swept away the Eight Banners Army in the south of the Yangtze River, and sounded the clarion call for the last major counteroffensive of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history.

It's just that it is only the ninth year of Yongli, Li Dingguo is still in Guangdong, Sun Kewang still controls a large area of land in Yunnan, Guizhou and southern Huguang and parts of Guangxi, and the grass on the wall in the southeast and the remnants of the Qing army are trembling under the huge pressure of Chen Wen. Everything, perhaps, is no longer what it was in history.

The Qing army lost the field battle, and the civil and military officials in Zhenjiang Fucheng were heartbroken, so they had to surrender to the city. Zheng Chenggong ordered Zhou Quanbin's right military guard and Huang Zhao's Houchong Town to enter the city to assist in defense, and the engineer Feng Chengshi was the commander of Changzhen, and the prefect of Zhenjiang was retained, setting up the ruling frame of Zhenjiang.

On April 25, Zheng Chenggong personally inspected the city of Zhenjiang and held a military parade in Ganlu Temple outside the north gate, strictly ordering Zhou Quanbin and Feng Chengshi to appease him, taking it as an example to the world, forbidding soldiers to disturb the people, and even more so not allowing the provincial government officials to disturb the gentry and the people. As a result, Zhenjiang Fucheng "is not easy to wanton, and the people do not know the soldiers", and the nearby cities "followers one after another", and Jurong, Yizhen, Chuzhou, Liuhe and other cities have returned one after another.

The next day, Zhang Huangyan led a small army westward to recruit the counties between Zhenjiang and Nanjing. On April 28, the pacification of Zhenjiang was completed, and Zheng Chenggong convened a military meeting to discuss the recovery of Nanjing.

However, the meeting was attended not only by the commanders of the Fujian Ming Army, the senior officers of the general army, but also the two civilian officials, Li Zhichun of the Zhizhejiang Economic Strategy and He Wangsheng, the squire of the military department.

"Zhenjiang is down, and our army should recover Nanjing as soon as possible. The itinerary of the officers and soldiers, which is the fastest in water and land? ”

The main force of the Qing army was defeated, and it no longer posed a threat, so when we went to Nanjing Baili, we naturally had to consider the question of how to get there.

Hearing Zheng Chenggong's question, Gan Hui, the commander of the general under his command, replied angrily: "The last general thinks that when he takes advantage of this great victory and loses his soul, he has no time to prepare. The soldiers are fast, and they should be driven straight by land, day and night, to force Nanjing. If the captives block it, they can also go down with one blow; If the captives do not flinch, besiege their cities, and break their counties first, then the lonely city will not be attacked. If it is a waterway, the wind is not smooth at this time, and the time will be delayed, and the reinforcements of the captives will be gathered, and the city will be fortified, and it will take more effort to capture it. ”

Gan Hui is one of the most trusted generals under Zheng Chenggong, and he advocates marching by land, and Zheng Chenggong also secretly praises himself. However, at this moment, several other generals objected, and the reason used was nothing more than "My division has come from afar, and I am not accustomed to water and soil, and there are many heavy soldiers." He also said, "It was raining heavily, and the ditches were full, which was not conducive to the march." ”

Zheng Chenggong saw the tragic situation of the Qing army a few days ago, and the heavy rain did cause the casualties of the Qing army to rise sharply, but the muddy roads were also a great obstacle to the march.

It's okay to not adapt to the water and soil, but it's true that the weight is too heavy. This time, Zheng Chenggong can be said to have poured the reserves of the Fujian Ming Army, with more than 3,000 warships, more than 100,000 war auxiliaries, and even more amazing weapons and equipment.

Historically, one of Zhang Mingzhen's troops was to be reorganized into the former army of the domain, and he was dissatisfied, and surrendered to Zhapu during Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition. There were only five ships in total, and more than 140 soldiers and their families, "but the equipment they carried included thirteen red-coated cannons, forty-five bronze cannons, ten three-eyed guns and shotguns, forty-two barrels of gunpowder, weighing 1,889 pounds in total, 1,663 iron bullets in red, 182 barrels of 182 iron bullets, weighing 8,899 pounds in total, 100 barrels of iron chips, weighing 5,190 pounds in total, forty-two pieces of iron armor, twenty-six iron armors, nine pairs of iron shields, nine iron skirts, and fourteen pairs of iron shelters. There are also cotton armor, knives, arrows, spears, rattan cards, and the like. ”

Even if it was four years earlier this time, after the sea trade with Zhejiang and the ordering of weapons and equipment, the family background was only slightly inferior, and the weapons and equipment carried by Zheng Chenggong were not less than in history.

If the land route is against the current and not downwind, in order to prevent the Qing army from blocking, it is necessary to carry a large number of weapons and equipment, if the weapons and equipment are transported by water, the soldiers will take the land route, the journey will be slowed down by the sailors, but it is the original intention of losing speed. But if you don't carry weapons and equipment, it will be a fiasco if the Qing army is not able to do well, and your previous achievements will be wasted.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to adopt the advice of the generals, and the whole army marched by water, using a slender boat to travel this hundred miles.

After the military discussion ended, everyone dispersed, and Li Zhichun and He Wangsheng also returned to their temporary residences. The two had discussed how to march before, but they were in a dilemma. On the one hand, by land, the army flaunts its might all the way, and it can increase its propaganda efforts and create a greater momentum, but on the other hand, it is inevitable that the army will cross the border and disturb the people. What's more, if the momentum created is not good, it will become a wedding dress for Zheng Chenggong, and they are the leaders who are cocooning themselves. And when you take the waterway, you don't have to think about these things at all, and you will naturally be at peace with what happens.

On the matter of military affairs, Zheng Chenggong did not ask Li Zhichun's opinion too much. Zheng Chenggong has led the army for many years, and he was defeated repeatedly in his early years, so of course he knows the results of a layman commanding an insider. But Li Zhichun is a strategy, and this time it is Zheng Chenggong that he attracted, so he will naturally be dissatisfied with this. It's just that Guazhou and Zhenjiang won two battles, Zheng Chenggong is in full swing, and the civil officials are naturally not tough enough to speak.

"The two great victories in Guazhou and Zhenjiang, especially the battle of Zhenjiang, the Eight Banners Army in Nanjing was wiped out, and we should also call on the righteous troops from all walks of life to conspire together."

"As it should be, with the water, it is also necessary to win over more. He is a civil official, a scholar of our country, not a warrior of the Yanping Domain and the Huiji Domain. Now that he has the army of the Marquis of Dingxi in his hands, he should try to turn this army into the basic force of our civil officials, rather than a vassal of the Yanping Domain. ”

After Zhang Mingzhen's death, Zhang Huangyan took over Zhang Mingzhen's descendant forces, and his generals Luo Yunzhang and Ma Long also had considerable combat experience.

In history, this army was reorganized into the former army of the domain, because the commander-in-chief Chen Liuyu was in Zhoushan at that time, and the Zheng army was powerful, and he still held the key point of grain and grass, Zhang Huangyan had to do so. Now, Zhang Mingzhen died early, Chen Liuyu has not yet arrived in Chongming, and a few months after Zhang Huangyan took over, Zheng Chenggong was also preparing for the Battle of Nanjing, and he became less interested in forcibly collecting his army.

"That's exactly how it should be."

Li Zhichun agrees with He Wangsheng's statement, and they have been doing it recently. Moreover, Li Zhichun was already in the Lu Jian Dynasty, and Zhang Chongfu, one of the anti-Qing people in their group, was also the soldier of the Lu Jian Guo Dynasty, and his relationship with Zhang Huangyan was not small, and he was naturally closer.

"In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the liaison with the Huiji Domain."

"The letter has been sent out, and through the relationship of his father, he can always make friends with the Huiji Clan. Moreover, if the Yanping Domain recovers Jiangnan, the Huiji Domain may not be happy, so it is just right to start from here. ”

Last year, the defeat of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou garrison, the killing of Hong Chengchou, the recovery of Jiangxi and Jiangxi provinces, and the two feudal domains of Shang Geng were all fought by Chen Wen with one hand and one foot, and even Sun Kewang regained the southern part of Huguang because Chen Wen forced away Fan Wencheng so that he could get that large piece of land without a fight, otherwise Sun Kewang could recover the southern part of Huguang so quickly?

It can be said that the general trend of the Ming army's counteroffensive south of the Yangtze River was single-handedly rolled up by Chen Wen, and after more than half a year of recuperation, Chen Wen's army was ready to recover Jiangnan. Even the Qing army in Jiangnan was left with only one way to be captured. But at this moment, Zheng Chenggong floated thousands of miles to pick peaches, but any ordinary person would be angry, and even swords against each other.

"I'm afraid it's not necessarily, but extreme dissatisfaction."

Speaking of this, Li Zhichun laughed, and then said: "It's good to be dissatisfied, just use the contradiction between the two to divide it." Moreover, it is also beneficial to be friendly with the Huiji Domain, the Qin Domain is powerful, and only the Huiji Domain can not be inferior to him. Moreover, the Yanping Domain won the south of the Yangtze River, and the benefits of sea trade, and the strength may soon be able to catch up with the Huiji Domain, and the current layout is better than the temporary cramming. ”

The Ming Dynasty controlled the military generals, talking about a large and small system. According to their layout, in Jiangnan, Zhang Huangyan is the big and small of Zheng Chenggong; In the southeast, Zheng Chenggong is the big and small of Chen Wen; Among the various departments of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Chen Wen is the one who controls Sun Kewang.

In this way, through layers of constraints, the generals will be subject to civilian officials, which is their purpose. As for Chen Wen's unkindness to scholars, Zheng Chenggong was a pirate with a still strong nature, and Sun Kewang was even more of a rogue, and he needed to be restrained to ensure the interests of the southeastern gentry.

There is only one thing, Qian Qianyi, the old slippery head, is unwilling to come forward to preside over the overall situation, otherwise with the relationship between him and Zheng Chenggong, it will be much easier to help Chen Wen over the years than the two of them singing black and white.

"No matter what, Jiangnan is about to recover, and sooner or later we will be able to drive the Tartars out of our Daming."

"That's right, but the more this is the case, the more we should try to preserve the vitality of the scholars."

After the end of the military discussion, the army soon set off from Zhenjiang and went to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the land of Longxing of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Ten days later, on the ninth day of the seventh month, the striker arrived outside the Fengyi Gate in Nanjing. On July 11, he led dozens of generals, including Gan Hui, Yu Xin, and Wan Li, to "go around Zhongshan and tread the terrain" under the protection of hundreds of personal guards. Twelve, Zheng Chenggong led Li Zhichun to the following civil and military sacrifices to Taizu.

Crying and laying the Lie Zongbi, Ling Gan Hui and Yu Xinzha Lion Rock; Wanli, Yang Zuzha on the second bridge mountain; With Weng Tianyou as the rescue, Yuyi Fengmen wants to go; Guo Yi, Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen, Tun Han West Gate, Lian Lin Ming, Lin Sheng, Huang Chang, Wei Xiong, Yang Shide camps. He also ordered Chen Peng, Lan Yan, Chen Kui, Cai Lu, and Yang Hao to set up in the southeast corner and camp by water; Liu Qiao, Huang Ying, Yang Zheng, Dai Jie, and Liu Guoxuan are stationed in the northwest corner, with the mountains as the base, and the battalions of Zhou Rui and Lin Cha. He also ordered Zhang Ying, Chen Yaoce, and Lin Xishan to camp in Miaoshan, and even Zhusu Town to guard the successful camp. Each set up antlers to look, deep ditch wooden fence defense.
