At the end of January 1952, when Li Dingguo was stationed in Hengyang, Sun Kewang personally came from Guiyang to Yuanzhou, Hunan.

On the third day of the second month, Sun Kewang officially ordered that the king of Xining should be reminded of the continuous monthly campaign, and the two famous kings were allowed to lead his troops to garrison Guilin, rest and recuperate, and pass through Guangxi.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, Sun Kewang ordered the former generals Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong to rush to Yuanzhou with 40,000 troops to cooperate with him to attack Huguang.

On 12 February, Sun Kewang felt uneasy and dispatched Qi Sansheng, the chief soldier of the Longxiang Battalion, who was formerly under Li Dingguo, to Sichuan to cooperate with Liu Wenxiu in attacking Sichuan.

Under Sun Kewang's suppression in many ways, Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses were reduced from the original 120,000 to only 50,000 at once.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, Sun Kewang led 170,000 soldiers and horses to attack Baoqing, which was guarded by Tunqi, the great general of Qingdingyuan.

Nikan left 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and later led 30,000 Eight Banners cavalry to attack Li Dingguo, although the Eight Banners cavalry was almost killed.

But in Baoqing, nearly 100,000 Han Eight Banners and Green Camp troops were still established.

On the 10th, Sun Kewang launched a full-scale attack on the Qing army, and the Qing army divided into routes to meet it, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

The Qing army lost 20,000 casualties and retreated to Baoqing. Zhenghuang Banner, two Mongols, Mel, Zhangjing, Wei Zheng, and Wu Jingjing, were killed in a fierce battle.

Although Sun Kewang was victorious, the Western Army under his command suffered many casualties.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers could not defend it, Sun Kewang sent troops to build eighteen wooden villages outside Baoqing City, surrounded by two layers of fence wood, and dug two ditches outside, making the outside of Baoqing City a chess and star column, like an iron bucket.

It is bound to force the Qing soldiers to the point where the grain and grass are cut off and the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the city is conquered.

……

Lin Xishan led five or six hundred warships to the north and came to the sandbar around Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Here is "the only way to go by the seaway", "south to Dinghai, north to Wusong, all can be reached by a tide, and the junction of Gaijiang and Zhejiang"

Hearing that Zheng Jiajun was coming, the local people in Shazhou responded one after another.

The officials in Shanghai even openly held the Shanghai county magistrate hostage, and even wanted to open the door to welcome Zheng Jiajun.

The Zheng family army was menacing, and the Qing army in Chongming City had limited strength and did not dare to fight at all.

Lin Xishan knew that time was pressing, so he ignored Chongming City, and just left 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Sanjiansha, Barnyard Sand, Pingyang and other places around Chongming Island, set up camp, and actively contacted the forces of Restoration to besiege Chongming City.

Lin Xishan led the army into the mouth of the Yangtze River by boat, and Ma Fengzhi, the commander of the Qing Susong, did not send troops to obstruct it, and the Zhengjia Naval Division successfully rushed through Wolf Mountain and Fushan into Jiangyin.

Standing by the river and looking at the mighty fleet, Ma Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately he didn't intercept it, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.

Thinking of this, Ma Fengzhi recalled that a few days ago, his subordinates took Zheng Chenggong's name post and said that a messenger wanted to see him.

At that time, he was scared half to death, although Ma Fengzhi was still working for the Qing Dynasty.

But since the successive defeats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the myth of the invincibility of the Jurchens has been shattered.

Ma Fengzhi clearly understands that in this world situation, no one dares to say that who can sit firmly in this world!

Hearing that Zheng Chenggong's envoy was visiting, Ma Fengzhi still didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately respectfully invited Chen Yonghua in.

When Chen Yonghua saw Ma Fengzhi, he held his head high, and said with a humble and arrogant attitude: "Lord Ma, my lord will send a large army to pass through Jiangdao in the near future, and please make it convenient for your lordship, don't stop it!" ”

Ma Fengzhi inevitably had some lack of confidence, and said: "A certain person was sent by the imperial court, and I am afraid that I have to do it." ”

Chen Yonghua said earnestly: "Master Ma, know the times and be a good man!" Now that you are working for the Manchus, victory is easy to say. Once defeated, not only you, but also your family will not be able to protect you! Lord Ma, can you have the confidence to defeat my lord's army of more than 200,000? ”

Ma Fengzhi trembled, and the Manchu army of more than 100,000 was defeated by the Zheng family's army.

Hundreds of thousands are not opponents, just their more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers, where will they be opponents!

Ma Fengzhi hurriedly said with a weak heart: "Don't dare, don't dare, sir, please stop being angry." Although he was stupid, he would never dare to be an enemy of your army. It's just that, as Mr. said, there are young and old in the family, and I hope that Mr. can also give me a way out! ”

Chen Yonghua smiled when he heard this: "It's so easy, you can't hear it, you can't hear it." Although it is not a great achievement, it should be a big mistake! ”

Ma Fengzhi immediately understood when he heard it, and hurriedly drank it: "Mr. Xie's guidance, Jinbao understands!" ”

Chen Yonghua saw that Ma Fengzhi would not stop the Zheng family's fleet, said goodbye to him, and set off again to meet the next target.

Seeing the huge scale of the Zheng family's fleet, Ma Fengzhi's vice admiral Li Zichun was also amazed.

"My lord, look at it like this, the Zheng family army is going to attack Ying Tianfu. Once Ying Tianfu is captured, Zheng Chenggong is afraid that he will no longer tolerate a Qing general like an adult? Adults should plan ahead! ”

Ma Fengzhi smiled slightly and said: "I already know this in my heart, Minghe doesn't have to worry!" ”

Look at it like this, this Tartar doesn't have this number of days to sit firmly!

But who will the world fall into in the end?

Zheng Chenggong? Sun Kewang? Li Dingguo?

If Zheng Jiajun can successfully conquer Yingtianfu, Zheng Chenggong will have a bit of Ming Taizu's luck.

As long as Zheng Chenggong can occupy Ying Tianfu, he can also gamble on him!

Qing Susong Admiral Ma Fengzhi did not move, and waited and watched.

On the first day of the first month of March, more than 700 ships of the Zheng family and more than 60,000 troops sailed to Jiangyin.

Xu Long, the commander of the former army, hurriedly waved the banner and announced to the Chinese army: "There is a Qing army in front of you!" ”

In order to block the Zheng fleet, the Qing guerrilla general Zuo Yunlong used iron chains and ships to form a defense line called "Rolling River Dragon", and at the same time there were three floating camps on the river (also known as Mucheng).

When Lin Xishan heard the report, he shouted: "If someone doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, then give the boss a hard beating!" It must be understood what will happen to those who dare to resist our army! ”

As the flag waved, Lin Xishan's military orders spread layer by layer.

The front of the Zheng family fleet launched an attack on the floating camp, and the cannonballs opened fire desperately as if they didn't want money, and the shells covered the entire river, and the smoke and fire illuminated the river red.

In less than half an hour, the Zheng Jiashui Division fired nearly 400 shells.

Before the Qing army could counterattack, the floating camp was directly burned.

More than 400 Qing soldiers were killed or wounded, and more than 30 Qing soldiers were captured after falling into the water.

The iron rope and ships were also cut off by artillery fire, Xu Long led nine lock ships to rush through the defense line, and sent small boats carrying more than 3,000 rattan armor soldiers to land on the shore beach and attack the Qing army's Jiangyin fortress.

The Jiangyin fortress of the Qing army is at the edge of the river pass, built with horizontal stone covering earth, there are 40 artillery pieces in it, gunpowder canisters can not be counted, and 500 soldiers can be hidden.

The Zheng Jiajun Tengjia soldiers jumped off the boat, held a big knife, and rushed desperately to the shore.

In the waist-high water, Xu Long roared angrily: "Quick, quick, fast." If you don't want to die, climb ashore quickly! ”

Seeing that Zheng Jiajun was preparing to land on the shore, Zuo Yunlong ordered to aim the muzzle of the cannon at the shore and personally fired the cannon, killing five or six people of Zheng Jiajun.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers still dared to resist at this time, Lin Xishan shouted, "Fight back, fight back, fight hard!" ”

The artillery on the fleet, which had been silent for a while, opened fire again, and the roar of more than five hundred guns swept the fortress aside.

The Jiangyin fortress, which had just fired a few shells, was on fire.

Under the cover of artillery, the Fuji Army divided into two columns and forced a landing.

The first column, of about 2,000 men, launched a fierce assault on the fortress.

Another column, about 1,000 men, rounded the front and made a detour to the rear and launched an attack.

The artillery fire was continuous, and the Qing soldiers were unable to launch a counterattack at all.

Seeing that Zheng Jiajun was already close to the fortress, Zuo Yunlong ordered the soldiers to rush out and start hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that there was no possibility of victory, the Han Qing soldiers did not want to accompany Zuo Yunlong to work for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and one person shouted the order to surrender, and suddenly hundreds of people echoed in unison.

The Han Qing soldiers rushed forward to capture Zuo Yunlong alive, escorted him to Xu Long and surrendered.

Dozens of cannons were seized from the fortress, and all the river fortifications painstakingly managed by the Manchu Qing collapsed. (To be continued.) )
