With Wu Xingzuo and others killed, captured and fled, the battle of Chaozhou has come to an end, knowing that with only a few thousand troops can not resist the waves of the Zheng army's back, the Chaozhou Mansion chose to hang himself, the remaining Qing army surrendered after seeing the Zheng army's tight formation, and the Qing army on the front line of Faguang Temple also fled later, so far the Zheng army finally won the final victory of the battle of Chaozhou.

However, Zheng's victory in Guangdong will not change the current dire situation.

As early as 13 July, Kangxi, who was personally driving the expedition, led 50,000 troops and horses from Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places and forbidden brigades to arrive in Jiangning, including the Eight Banners Forward Battalion, the Tiger Gun Battalion, and the Xiaocai Battalion, although the hot weather in Jiangnan made the above-mentioned departments temporarily unable to continue to march, but then the troops gathered from Anhui, Jiangxi and other places made the Qing troops stationed in Jiangnan more than 80,000, and what made the Ming and Zheng sides even more uneasy was that the nearly 60,000 Qing troops deployed in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang were able to completely get out of their hands and go south.

On July 27, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Qing armies that went south arrived in the Wentai area under the typhoon, and except for one section of the Zheng army on the Taiping line, the rest of the troops went straight to the Ao River and garrisoned Cangnan. However, due to the rugged and difficult terrain of the South Yandang mountains, the Qing army was unable to break through the Zhejiang-Fujian border for a long time, and could only continue to exchange flesh and blood for Cai Yuan's book and retreat.

In view of the fact that it was very difficult to march directly into Funing, the Qing army was forced to detour through the Xianxia Pass, which was also difficult to travel, but the Qing army on the western front had not yet entered Fujian, and the town of Shaowu in Fujian, which was regarded as an internal response, was broken by the left and right Yongwei troops who marched west from Fuzhou, and Nanping, Shunchang, Shaowu, Jianyang, Pucheng and other places fell into the hands of the Zheng army one after another. Mao Hongyan, the general soldier of Fujian, immediately gathered recruits in western and northwestern Fujian and formed four divisions, Shaowu on the left and right, and Nanping on the left and right.

The Qing army also tried to march into western Fujian from southern Jiangxi, but Wang Xinhua led two reorganized divisions of more than 10,000 people from Ninghua to cross Wuyi Mountain to attack the stone city in southern Jiangnan, and then Kening Duzhou, the whole army of Ningdu Camp defending the city was annihilated, and then Wang Xinhua defeated the Ji'an Battalion, Xingguo Battalion, Wenying Battalion, Yongzhen Battalion, Henggang Battalion and other troops under the command of the general army of Nangan Town, and forced the city of Ganzhou.

Because there are two green camps in Jiangxi, most of which Jiujiang Town has been transferred east to Jiangning, and the rest have to deter western Jiangxi to prevent the resurgence of the rebel army, so Yu Chenglong, who is also the commander of the Jiangxi Marine and Land Division, can only go to Fuzhou to supervise the battle in person on the one hand, and ask for reinforcements from Hubei and Hunan provinces on the other hand. However, the Zhenxi Battalion, Hexi Battalion, Suining Battalion, Chang'an Battalion, Baojing Battalion, Zhenxi Battalion, Hexi Battalion and other units in the green camp of Hunan Province have already entered Guangdong one after another, so they are unable to provide large-scale assistance to Jiangxi.

However, Wang Xinhua made a strategic mistake at this time, in order to obtain the position of the Jiangxi general army promised by Zheng Kezang, he did not take advantage of the lack of troops of the Qing army in southern Jiangxi to expand the occupied area, but instead ran into the head of the army under the fortified city of Ganzhou. On 17 August, in view of the influx of Qing reinforcements, Wang Xinhua was forced to retreat from the direction of Huizhou and Changzhou to western Fujian to hold on.

On August 20, as the midsummer in the Jiangnan region was coming to an end, Kangxi led his troops to leave Jiangnan and head to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, Kangxi arrived in Hangzhou, and immediately held a military meeting, deciding to attack Xiangshan and Taiping first, and the rest of the armies were divided into two routes in Zhejiang, two roads in Jiangxi, one road in Guangdong, and five roads to besiege Fujian.

The boss gave an order, and the Qing army suddenly felt like a chicken. On September 11, the good news first spread from Taiping to Hangzhou, and under the repeated attacks of the Qing army, the Dongtou Governor's Office was forced to withdraw its troops in Taiping and evacuate all the people. In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Qing army, Kangxi Qianjin was the backbone, and immediately promoted Hua Shan, the deputy general of Taizhou Town, who commanded the battle, as the deputy commander of the Han army with a white flag. As a result, the Qing army on the front line became more and more crazy.

On September 13, on the day that Zheng Kezhang defeated Wu Xingzuo's troops, the Qing army finally approached Xiangshan County on the South Road after paying a great price. However, in order to counter the aggressive posture of the Qing army, the Zheng army immediately landed again in northern Jiangsu and wreaked havoc on the Lianghuai salt fields before leaving under the watchful eyes of the remaining defenders of Langshan Town.

From 14 September to 17 September, Zheng's Northern Fleet continuously shelled Penglai, Huangxian, Fushan, Ninghai, Haiyang, Jiaozhou, Dengzhou, and other places, and sent troops ashore to plunder the population. In this regard, Sang E, the governor of Shandong, who had served as Jiangning Weaving, on the one hand, ordered the town of Dengzhou in Luying to be strictly defended, and on the other hand, he reported to Hangzhou and Beijing at the same time, but he praised in the excerpt of the previous performance, which was a manifestation of Zheng Junqian's poor donkey skills, intended to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and Shandong had the ability to protect itself.

On 19 September, the Qing army launched a landing operation against Zhoushan with the retained and rebuilt naval units of the Yangtze River Naval Division, the Taihu Naval Division, and the Jingkou General Naval Division. The Zhoushan detachment of the Zheng army immediately mobilized all the soft sail gunboats and set sail and intercepted the Qing boats and ships in the northwest sea of Tanxu Mountain and Dabai Mountain. In the end, the Zheng army defeated the small ships with the big ships, and the more artillery defeated the less artillery, sinking and destroying 29 Qing ships in one fell swoop, capturing the other 15 and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers on board, and the rest of the Qing army's boats and ships fled in all directions, taking advantage of the fact that the Zheng army was able to escape when they were not able to resist when they pursued their companions, but the Qing army's attempt to forcibly land in Changguo, Daishan and other places came to naught.

The second fiasco of the sailor did not dispel Kangxi's fighting spirit, and he was very generous and forgave the deputy capital commander of Jingkou and others who commanded the naval battle, but at the second moment of the Shen hour, an urgent military report from Guangzhou was transmitted to the Hangzhou Palace, which immediately caused the monstrous anger of this "holy monarch and master". Kangxi changed his face from Kuanren two hours ago, ordered Wu Xingzuo to be arrested and brought to Beijing for trial, and Zhu Hongzuo, the governor of Guangdong, was appointed acting governor of Liangguang and Jiang Youliang, the secretary of the Guangdong domain, and the Jiangning general Bo Ji was transferred to the general of Guangzhou, and Miao Zina, the commander of the Jiangnan Land Division, was promoted to the general of Jiangning.

After the anxious disposal of Guangdong officialdom, Kangxi, who knew that Guangdong was unstable, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to transfer Chongqing and other towns in Sichuanzhong Green Camp to Hubei, Linyuan and Anyi towns in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou Green Battalion to Guizhou, and Yunyang Town, Yichang Town, and the remaining Green Flag troops in Guangxi and Hunan to aid Guangdong

In the early morning of 21 September, as soon as the mist on the Qiantang River was dispelled by the rising sun, eight second-class cruisers of the Zheng Army's Zhoushan Detachment appeared outside Zhapu Harbor -- the so-called second-class cruisers were the 3,000-class two-masted soft-sailing gunboats with the largest number of equipment in the Zheng Army; according to the classification criteria set by Zheng Kezang himself, two-masted gunboats with 3,000 to 4,000 materials were called second-class cruisers, three-masted gunboats with 5,000 or 6,000 materials were called first-class cruisers, and only double-deck gunboats with more than 7,000 materials could be called cruisers. As for the higher-level battleships, they are still only in the minds of Ma Yuan and other shipyard ambassadors.

As soon as Zheng Jun's cruising ship appeared, the Nanwan Fort and Zhapu Fort built by Zhejiang Province after the Battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province opened fire desperately, and the fierce artillery fire formed a column of water on the river surface that rushed to the sky. Although the Qing army's artillery fire was lost, Yan Daoji, who was under the command of the [Daishan], was unwilling to use wooden gunboats to confront the Qing army's stone forts, so he led the boat south, and continued to swim towards the waters of the Qiantang River outside the sight of the Qing army.

The Qing army on the Zhapu side did not know about Zheng's movements, and as soon as they saw Zheng Jun disappear from the binoculars, they complacently wrote a cursive document announcing that they had repelled the attack of Zheng's sailors and caused most of Zheng's boats to catch fire. However, as soon as the messenger on the fast horse entered the city of Hangzhou from the Luosi Gate (Qingtai Gate), the sound of thunderous cannons sounded outside the Wangjiang Gate and the Houchao Gate.

Although the citizens of Hangzhou have experienced the baptism of the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than a year, the naval division of the Zheng army in the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not go back to the outside of Hangzhou and carry out the artillery bombardment.

In addition to the Wangjiang Gate and Houchao Gate, which were being shelled, the gates of Baiguan (Wulin), Bazi (Genshan), Zhengyang (Fengshan), Luosi (Qingtai), Qingbo, (Yongjin, Qiantang, and Taiping (Qingchun) were filled with fleeing people, so that the Qing army, which was originally preparing to close the city gate to prevent the Zheng army from taking advantage of the weakness, could not close the city gate, and finally could only disperse the people with sticks.

After the Zheng army shelled for half an hour, the Qing army's imperial artillery team reacted as Kangxi went south, and they all used the largest caliber and the longest range of General Wucheng Yonggu to shoot at the Zheng army on the river.

Although the Zheng army sailors were defeated, it was a great sin to expose Kangxi to the threat of artillery fire, and the governor of Zhejiang, Fan Chengxun, and the officials of Zhejiang Province ran to Kangxi in panic to ask for guilt, and at the same time implored Kangxi to move to Suzhou in order to be safe. However, Kangxi was stubborn and had to stay in Hangzhou, so Fan Chengxun had to ask Mingzhu, who was with the army, to come forward to persuade him.

Of course, Mingzhu understood that Kangxi, who had a good name, was worried that someone would say that he would flee in fear, so he asked Kangxi to go south to Shaoxing. Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and did not hesitate to adopt it, that night, Kangxi's royal car crossed the Qiantang River to Xiaoshan, and in the next two days, more than 80,000 Qing troops accompanied by him went south, among which the green battalions in Jiangxi, Anhui and other places will go directly to the Xianxia Pass line through Jinhua, and the green battalions in Shandong, Zhili and other places will also go south to Wentai to strengthen the offensive in southern Zhejiang.

And just when the Qing army was moving south, the Zheng army that entered Guangdong successively conquered the counties of Huizhou, and the troops pointed directly at the city of Guangzhou. Wu Xingzuo, who did not know that he had been removed from his post and investigated, disregarded the Qing army from Gao Leilian and other places to enter the guard, and the Zheng army of the two divisions of Qiongzhou took the opportunity to land on the Leizhou Peninsula, and then swept southwest Guangdong, forming a situation of encirclement with the Zheng army on the east road.
