Eunuchs don't, although this book doesn't make money, but it will definitely be finished. Starting today, the update will be resumed, set a goal first, two updates a day this month, 60,000 words.

Jingjiang River, known as Ma Da Sha in ancient times, was originally a lonely mountain in the river, for thousands of years, the surging river carried a large amount of sediment to precipitate under the mountain, and gradually there was a sandbar appeared, and slowly the sandbar became bigger and bigger, becoming an island in the river. With the land, there is a population to live, Chenghua seven years, should be the governor of Teng Zhao to the imperial court, the seal said that Ma Dasha "lives in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, chokes the gateway of the river and sea, defends the whole Wu, enough to weigh the town". In November of that year, it was approved by the imperial court. In order to pray for Ma Dasha to Qinghai Yan from now on, peace and tranquility, Emperor Chenghua agreed to set up a county and give the name Jingjiang.

Of course, as an isolated island in the middle of the river, Jingjiang County cannot be compared with Jiangyin, which is separated by a river, in terms of population and area. And because there are rivers separated by them, when a raging wave of resistance broke out in Jiangyin and other places on the south bank, Jingjiang was in a rare peace, which made He Qiu of Qingzhi County secretly rejoice. However, before he could be happy for a few days, a fleet suddenly went upstream from the downstream and came to the Jingjiang River.

There are only tens of thousands of people in Jingjiang County, and all the errand soldiers in the county town add up to less than 100 people, how can they compete with an army of thousands of people? When the third town of the Chongming Army landed on Jingjiang under the leadership of Liu Zhaoji, He Qiu decisively ordered the surrender of Kaicheng.

The Jingjiang River was captured without a single shot, which surprised Liu Zhaoji, and he appeased He Qiu, the magistrate of the county who took the initiative to surrender, and sent a ship to Chongming Island, and then announced the military control of the whole island, and sent ships to patrol along the island and occupy the wharf.

Although Jingjiang is an isolated island in the middle of the river, it is also a large island with a length of 70 miles and a width of 30 miles, which is not much smaller than Chongming. Moreover, the island is only less than a mile away from the north bank of the Yangtze River, and a raft can cross the waterway between the Jingjiang River and the north bank. Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold on the island, you must always be vigilant to guard against the attack of the Qing army from the north shore. Although the Qing army on the north bank of the Yangtze River had just been defeated by the Chongming naval army, there were still tens of thousands of troops, which were strong and had to be defended.

Therefore, Liu Zhaoji ordered to control all the ships on the island, strictly block the waterways, and sent a large number of small soldiers to and from the north shore to investigate the enemy's situation.

Ren Siqi's mission to the Third Town was to guerrilla in the Zhenjiang area of Changzhou and to rescue the righteous people of Jiangyin. Jingjiang County, as an island in the middle of the river, is a good base for the third town, which has a large number of boats. Based on the Jingjiang River, troops can be sent up the river to raid and plunder the Zhenjiang River in Changzhou. However, considering that Jingjiang Island is too close to both sides of the Yangtze River and is vulnerable to attacks from both sides by the Qing army, it is acceptable to use it as a foundation for a short period of time, and it is difficult to defend it if a large number of Qing troops attack.

After Liu Zhaoji took full control of Jingjiang, he immediately sent people to get in touch with Jiangyin on the south bank. For Jiangyin City, the arrival of the Chongming Army can be described as a timely rain.

Since the uprising on the first day of leap June, the righteous people of Jiangyin have persisted for more than ten days under the leadership of Chen Mingyu and others, and the people of the four townships have responded one after another, and completely annihilated the 300 Qing soldiers sent by Zong Hao, the prefect of Changzhou. However, Chen Mingyu and others knew that more Manchu troops would be sent one after another to suppress the righteous people of Jiangyin. Now most of the Ming Dynasty is occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Ming court has also been destroyed, and the small Jiangyin is not worth mentioning at all under the iron hooves of the Eight Banners, but the righteousness is there, although he will not regret it! For the sake of the hair on the head, in order not to become a barbarian, what is the point of death? From the day he started to act, Chen Mingyu thought about what might happen to him in the future, but he was not afraid at all.

But although he is not afraid of death, Chen Mingyu does not want the people of the city to die with him, since he decided to raise righteousness, he must try to achieve victory, so these days, Chen Mingyu and other leaders of the righteous army together to organize the righteous people in the county, investigate spies, train the army, recruit food, build ordnance, while actively sending people to contact the Ming army from all sides to seek support.

There are two Ming troops closest to Jiangyin, one is the Chongming army, and the other is the Songhu deputy general Wu Zhikui and Zhendong Bo Huang Fei department, Chen Mingyu sent people to these two departments for help, but I didn't expect that the people who asked for help set off for help A few days ago, the news that the Chongming army captured Jingjiang came, which made Chen Mingyu overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to Jingjiang by boat with heavy gifts, and invited the Chongming army to enter the city.

Liu Zhaoji sent Yingzheng Sha Qianli to lead a thousand soldiers into Jiangyin City to assist Chen Mingyu in defending Jiangyin, but he still led most of the army to stay in Jingjiang.

At this time, there were rebellions in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and Su Songchang had righteous people in all provinces to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and half of the main force of the Eight Banners in Jiangnan was in Nanjing, and the other half was in Hangzhou. However, in the huge south of the Yangtze River, the troops in Duoduo's hands alone could not take care of it at all, so he had to order the main force to concentrate on the rebellion in Suzhou along the canal to ensure that the canal line was not lost. As for the remote Jiangyin and other places, they were suppressed by the local officials themselves.

At this time, there were still nearly 20,000 people in the main force of the Eight Banners in Duoduo's hands, but the hot weather in the summer in Jiangnan had already made these invincible warriors complain, and many warriors suffered from heat stroke after staying in the house all day long and sweating, not to mention sending troops to suppress the rebellion. In desperation, Duoduo could only let Liu Liangzuo out and send him to suppress rebellions in various places.

Since the capture of Nanjing, Duoduo began to reorganize the more than 200,000 surrendered green battalion soldiers, dismantle the old and weak, and send various generals to defend everywhere. However, Liu Liangzuo, Li Benshen and others, who had outstanding prestige in the surrender army, were wary of them, and firmly pressed Nanjing and controlled them in their own hands.

Liu Liangzuo was originally one of the warlords of the four towns of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and he originally controlled tens of thousands of troops, Li Benshen was Gao Jie's nephew, and after Gao Jie's death, his subordinates would each respect Li Benshen. With the reorganization of the various subordinate armies, Liu Liangzuo and his wife have lost the power to control the army, and in the case of Liu Liangzuo, there are only more than 3,000 troops left in their control. Now as the war intensified, Duoduo had to send Liu Liangzuo out.

Liu Liangzuo led his troops from Nanjing, marched to Danyang first, suppressed the rebellion in Danyang, and then rushed to Jintan, killed thousands of righteous people in Jintan, and arrived at Changzhou Mansion on the 15th day of the leap month, and joined Zong Hao, the prefect of Changzhou.

At this time, Zong Hao was anxious, Zong Hao was a sixteen-year jinshi of Chongzhen, and he was appointed as the prefect of Changzhou for surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for less than two years, which made Zong Hao grateful to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. When the news of the Jiangyin riot came, Zong Hao immediately sent 300 soldiers to Jiangyin to suppress it, but who knew that the army sent was annihilated. Zong Hao was furious and continued to mobilize troops, but he was only a prefect, so where did he have the right to transfer troops? There are still more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers in Changzhou City, but to ensure that the state city is not lost, how can it be easily dispatched, just when Liu Liangzuo led the soldiers to come, which made Zong Hao overjoyed.
