296 Under the city of Huainan
Zheng Zhilong was completely persuaded by Zheng Zhibao, and the sentence 'coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes', so that Zheng Zhilong did not hesitate to order a huge fleet to send a huge fleet along the rolling sea, towards the north, and finally stayed at the sea not far from Nanjing City, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, just stayed on the ship, waiting for the Manchu army to attack.
As for whether there will be any changes in the middle, it is not something that Zheng Zhilong can think of, besides, for the future of the Zheng family, for the dream of the first family of the Ming Dynasty, let alone 10,000 horses, I am afraid that even if he presses the entire Zheng family, he will be willing, after all, for a hero like him, anything that can obtain huge benefits is worth fighting
Just when the Zheng family in Fujian Province had plans for their future, the land of Jiangbei, Huainan City, was a panicked voice, at this time in Huainan City, there was no peaceful atmosphere of the past, whether it was on the head of the city, or in the middle of the city, there was a dilapidated scene everywhere, even if someone passed by, they were in a hurry, as if fleeing for their lives.
There are only two things that can make a city change so dramatically, one is natural disasters, and the other is war, although natural disasters are powerful, they rarely appear, and the only thing left is war, and only human beings themselves can have such great power, create heaven and earth, and destroy heaven and earth.
At this time, it was the seventh day that the Manchu army surrounded Huainan City, standing on top of the city, looking at the Manchu army slowly retreating under the city, Huang Degong couldn't help but shake his body a little, and since the morning, he hasn't even eaten. Staying on the city wall, commanding his soldiers to begin to resist the attack of the Manchu Dynasty, facing the powerful Manchu soldiers, creating the Yellow Army soldiers who were already tired and abnormal, so that the city head was in danger several times. Fortunately, even with Huang Degong's remedy, he finally turned the corner, but he was too tired to do it, but he gritted his teeth and did not sit down, but stood there reluctantly holding on to the city wall, in order not to let the soldiers around him see his weak appearance.
By this time, he was already the last hope of all Ming troops. If even he showed weakness, I am afraid that his soldiers would not be able to hold on, although in the face of the endless attacks of the Manchu army, the fall of Huainan City was only a matter of time, but he still wanted to hold on, and he was still looking forward to the moment when the turning point came.
The battle has been fought so far, to be honest. Huang Degong already regretted it a little at this time, if he hadn't underestimated the Manchu army at the beginning. If he thinks that the Manchu army is nothing more than that, but delays for a period of time, so as to be fully prepared, maybe he will live better now, but unfortunately, there is no regret in the world. Huang Degong is not the kind of person who regrets his life after making a mistake, he is just a little lost, thinking that after his death, Nanjing City will definitely be captured by the Manchu army. And the Yongli Imperial Court, which he and others had worked so hard to establish, was completely wiped out, and he couldn't even get a posthumous title, so he had to sigh 'Creation makes people'.
When the soldiers of the Yellow Army in Huainan City were congratulating themselves for surviving again and defending the city, there were also some generals in the camp of the Manchu army opposite, with happy expressions on their faces, waiting excitedly, looking forward to something.
Soon, I saw a group of knights coming from a distance along the official road, and after seeing this group of knights appear in front of them, these people hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to an old man in the middle of the group of knights, "Subordinates and others greet Lord Hong," as soon as these people finished speaking, they saw the old man on the horse, slowly got off the horse, walked in front of everyone, and said with a gentle face, "All your lords, please get up, it is really an honor for you to come so far to greet this official, and this official will work with you in the future, I also ask you to help this official in the future and work hard for the strength and prosperity of my Qing Dynasty. ”
This old man is Hong Chengchou, after he fled from Shaanxi to Beijing, after Fan Wencheng's parents came to the door, he finally came out of the mountain again, today is the time for him to arrive at the Jiangbei front, and these officials are all subordinates who came to greet him.
This time, in order to be able to completely take the land south of the Yangtze River, it can be regarded as a large enough capital, not only let Azig bring all the 30,000 Manchu Eight Banner Army stationed in Xuzhou City, but also all the Han troops that can be requisitioned and transferred together, and Hong Chengchou is the chief officer of these Han armies, the governor of the Han army's military affairs and salary, it can be said that this is really a high-powered position, if it weren't for Dolgon's trust in Hong Chengchou very much, he would never be able to do this position, so, This is also when Hong Chengchou was in Beijing, he asked the members of the Nightingale who followed him if he wanted him to make some small moves in it, such a key position, if he really wanted to make some small moves, so as to slow down the attack speed of the Manchu army, or sabotage the Manchu army's plan to move south, it would be a simple matter.
While politely talking to many subordinates around him, Hong Chengchou walked towards the barracks where the Han army was stationed, because the Manchu army and the Han army were not harmonious, so the two armies were not stationed together, but stationed separately, so these people who came to greet Hong Chengchou were some Han generals, and there were no Manchu generals, and the most active people around Hong Chengchou were two generals surnamed Liu, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo.
Speaking of which, these two people are indeed a little unlucky, originally after they saw that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was powerful, they thought of their own clever plan to surrender to the Manchu court, in order to be able to get the same treatment as Wu Sangui or Hong Chengchou, but what they didn't expect was that at the beginning, the Manchu court did attach great importance to their surrender, and after they united to defeat Gao Jie, they also received some rewards for this, but here, their good days came to an end.
When I negotiated with Huang Degong, they became the conditions for negotiation, of course, the later negotiations were not established because of Huang Degong's perfunctory, but later, after the Manchu army was blocked by Huang Degong, and because of this, they also lost troops and generals, they became the object of complaint from the Manchu generals, especially the British Prince Azig, who thought that it was the existence of the two of them. made Huang Degong's resistance so tenacious, and he was very tired of the two of them.
If that's all, it's nothing, in order to make up for the losses of the Manchu Eight Banner Army, since the Manchu army came to Huainan City, all the siege tasks were completed by the two of them. For a time, the soldiers under the two suffered heavy losses, and even the two of them, under the persecution of Azig, had to charge in person with armor on, and for a while the two were completely miserable, and later, if it weren't for the two of them to save their lives. And if they had to eat enough croton like self-harm, and almost died in the thatched house, I am afraid that the two of them would have already returned to the west by now.
Therefore, when they greeted Hong Chengchou this time, the two were very surprised, after all, they thought that they were their own people with Hong Chengchou, after all, they were both Han Chinese, and they were both Ming ministers who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As long as the two of them get along with Hong Chengchou, at least they won't have to be the same as before in the future. is so bullied, after all, compared with Azig, although Hong Chengchou is a little low, but the actual power is not smaller than him, and when the time comes, with Hong Chengchou in front, they will be able to be much easier.
Some rejoice. Then there will definitely be people who are worried, at this time, following behind everyone, a general has a gloomy look on his face, as if he owes someone a huge amount of money. This person is the biggest speculator in the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui.
Looking at Hong Chengchou, who was talking easily with everyone in front of him, Wu Sangui's heart was like a thousand-year-old ice, wow, wow, wow, at this time, he complained from time to time in his heart, "Why didn't you die, why didn't those people in Shaanxi kill you, but let you escape unharmed, why, why." “
It's a pity that his question is destined to have no answer, no matter how much he complains, now Hong Chengchou is standing in front of him so well, not only that, but now he has become his top boss, thinking of the ordeal he will take the initiative to suffer in the future, Wu Sangui can't wait to pull out the sword on his waist at this time and stab him to death with a sword, but unfortunately, he just thinks about it, and doesn't dare to really put it into action, not only does he not dare to act, he knows that from today onwards, he will live with his tail between his legs, and all this, It was all for the impulsive decision he made when he was in Henan.
At that time, he thought that if he took Hong Chengchou with him, he would become a burden to himself, and if Hong Chengchou had been restraining himself on his head, it would be a very bad influence on himself, so he didn't run away with Hong Chengchou, he thought that without his help, Hong Chengchou would either die in the chaos or be caught by the Shaanxi Ming army, either killed on the spot, or imprisoned, and never thought that Hong Chengchou would reappear in front of him one day, But things in the world are so strange, the more you want to achieve, he doesn't give it to you, the more you are afraid of achieving it, but he is destined to let you achieve it, which is probably the wonder of fate.
When Hong Chengchou stepped into the main account of the Chinese army that belonged to him, those who followed him were very interested in saying goodbye and leaving, at the beginning, Hong Chengchou was still a little puzzled, but after he opened the main account, he saw the gifts that were full of open space, only to know the intentions of those people, speaking of which, these Han generals are indeed a group of poor people, of course, poor people must have their hate, from the beginning of their refuge in the Manchu court, the identity of a traitor can not escape, originally they thought that after taking refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, can be a fox and a tiger and become a master, but they are wrong, not all traitors are Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, without Hong Chengchou's talent and Wu Sangui's strength, these people are just some cannon fodder that can be consumed for the Manchu court, and, because it is different from history, the Manchu court did not easily seize the world as in history, so many traitor generals who should have shined have died before they leaked their heads, so, The appearance of Hong Chengchou made these people who wanted to survive or have other ideas see the light of hope, so how could they not make good use of such a good opportunity?
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Lord Hong to be so loved, and before he came, he had already received so many people, if the humble position was not mistaken, these gift boxes contained some valuables, I am afraid that the humble man who has been in charge for a lifetime can't afford to buy any of them, so, this time, Lord Hong can really be regarded as making a fortune." Seeing the scene in front of him, when Hong Chengchou was still stunned, the Tsing Yi subordinate on the side, that is, Jiang Zheng, a member of the nightingale, had already said with a smile.
This time, in order to have an accident, Hong Chengchou brought people dressed as members of the Nightingale, which is actually Hong Chengchou's way of showing his determination in Shaanxi.
After listening to the joke of Jiang Zheng, the man in Tsing Yi, Hong Chengchou didn't take it seriously, but said with some pity, "It's a pity that this is such a good opportunity, if you can seize this good opportunity, Hong will be able to use his identity to control the Han army under his command, in this way, you only need to deal with the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, as long as the 30,000 Manchu elite soldiers are eliminated, the entire Manchu court will be broken an arm, and they will come out to defend outside Beijing in the future, and they will no longer have the ability to attack." In this way, it is only a matter of time before you want to eliminate them, but unfortunately, now you not only have no way to break their arm, but also make them stronger, if they are really taken by the Manchu Qing court, I am afraid that when the time comes, you are trying to eliminate them, it will be really difficult, and even if it is not good, it will be you who will become dangerous at that time, if that happens, I am afraid that Hong will also be affected by you. ”
"Hmph, don't worry, Lord Hong, these things you said will never happen in our Shaanxi, not to mention that the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied a Jiangnan, even if he occupies all the land of Huguang, as long as our Lord Shi is there, sooner or later one day they will be driven out of the Guannei, so, now Lord Hong should still think about it, if you can cooperate with the Manchu court's plan to go south without harming more people, you know, Lord Shi said that he should go to avoid the Manchu army in Jiangnan knowing that they are killing on a large scale, After all, these are our blind dates, and we can't protect them enough, and we can't let them suffer more damage. Jiang Zheng, a man in Tsing Yi, said.
