In the first year of Baokang in the Ming Dynasty and the 36th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, on May 25, after sending half a division to take over the county seat of Jianli, the main force of the Zheng army of five divisions and the four thousand new attached troops of Cao Zhongying, the deputy general of Guiyi, arrived at Sha (Tou) City, an important Yangtze River port in the southeast of Jingzhou.

However, due to the early implementation of the strategy of clearing the wilderness in Shanahai, Zheng Jun did not find useful materials such as rice and medicine in Sha (Tou) City, which is known as "Jia Yu Yunei". But Shanahai did not expect that Zheng Jun quickly requisitioned bricks and tiles and other building materials that he could not transport away for a while, and with great patience, he built a camp in a step-by-step manner near Shifang Nunnery, which is four miles northwest of Guanyinji in Shashi City, Jingjiang Embankment (also known as Wancheng Embankment, Wan'an Embankment).

"My lord, the situation is not good." Tong Gui, the deputy commander of the left wing of Jingzhou, looked at Shanahai with some uncertainty. "Zheng Wei personally led a large army to come, and he should have rushed to attack Jingzhou, so as not to be attacked by the imperial army inside and outside, but now, Hai Wei has taken time to put on a posture of long-term siege, I am afraid that there is a big problem."

"Lord Tong, you are wrong, Hai Rebellion is a siege, it is clearly to build another city outside Jingzhou City," Barda, the deputy commander of Jingzhou's right wing, anxiously unbuttoned the top buttons of his official uniform. "I think the sea is forcing us to besiege the city."

Barda's statement is not unreasonable, because although Zheng's army approached Jingzhou, it did not besiege the city, which is unique in the history of Chinese warfare for thousands of years. Not only that, but Zheng Jun was using the cement that the Qing court spies could not really understand and the building materials obtained on the spot to build the city quickly, which was obviously aimed at the Qing army, which had a considerable proportion of horse troops.

"I think it's the same reason, when the time comes, our horse team can't be used, and the grain road will be intercepted, and the battle situation will become hard consumption." Tong Gui smashed it, smashed it, and said thoughtfully. "We have lost the granaries of Jiangnan and Hunan again, no matter what, we can't consume Hai Rebellion, and when the grain runs out, Zheng Rebel will be able to force us away without blood."

"I'm afraid this is just one case," added Chen Zhiqing, the co-leader of the Han Army's Blue Banner. "If we think about it deeply, if we retreat in order to avoid running out of food, then there is only one way to besiege the city and storm it." When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped, that's right, the besieging side must pay an extremely heavy price. "When the time comes, we will attack its strengths with our own shortcomings."

"It's all to blame for Helu, this bastard." Barda suddenly ignored the presence of the chief officer Shanahai, and scolded Helulai, who was not present. "It's been four or five years since this battle, and he, a bastard, hasn't cleaned up the sailor camp yet, and he can't even compare to the standard sailor battalion, so he's really dizzy to make money."

"Hugh is messing around, it's no wonder that Helu is here." The Shana Sea opened its mouth very peacefully. "The flag camps are all systematic, the emperor did not give extra soldiers, how many somersault clouds can he and Lu turn out, and they don't have the same way to make a dojo in a snail shell."

Shanaheng's words are not to excuse Helu, you must know that the Jingzhou Banner Battalion only has 4,000 soldiers at the most" After fighting with the Zheng army for so many years, there have been losses, and Beijing has replenished it, but the establishment has never increased. And not long ago, because of the establishment of a garrison in Chengdu, the general rowed away more than 1,000 war veterans, although he received more than 1,000 Beijing flags from the Nerfo army, but it was just to supplement the combat power, and now it seems that the most important sailor battalion has not gained the slightest, and it is still a hundred step armor, a hundred raising soldiers, and the scale ♀ of five river boats is okay to bully the merchant fisherman on the river, and it is very difficult to deal with the water bandits, not to mention the elite sailors of the Zheng army.

Since the root cause of this problem is on the head of the wise and martial Kangxi, as soon as Shana Heng said it, the flagmen present were silent, and after a long time, Tong Gui slowly spoke: "It's too late to say anything now, unless Chuanzhong can send a large fleet, otherwise saying anything will cut off the back road of continuous sea reversal." ”

"What's the use of a large fleet, you don't know the news of the fiasco of the Naval Division's battalion, the key is that you have to have artillery to confront the sea adversity." Balhu yelled again. "But the regulations of the imperial court are strictly forbidden firearms, and we only have fifty gunners in Jingzhou, can we expect Old Man Wu to conjure up a large fleet with ships and cannons all at once."

Because it involved the fundamental national policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Shanahai glared at the unabashed Balhu very dissatisfied: "Okay, let's not talk about some useless, let's think about what to do now." ”

"What to do, cold salad!" Balhu replied disapprenously. "Hai Reverse doesn't say 30,000, as long as we concentrate our men and horses to go out of the city to fight, Zhu Qin's kid won't laugh off his big teeth." The Zheng army of the five divisions has more than 30,000, and the eight banners and green battalions of the Qing army in Jingzhou add up to 123,000. "Only obediently wait for the army of the king of Pingjun to arrive, let's join forces to besiege and besiege at any cost."

"It seems that this is the only way." With a sigh, Shana said quietly. "We must also immediately urge the governor's side to speed up the transfer of grain from southern Henan." But then something suddenly occurred to him. "Damn, it's still early for the summer harvest, Zheng Wei sent troops at this time, and his heart is extremely vicious"

Zheng Kezang couldn't hear the curses of Shanahai, and in a place where Zheng Kezang couldn't even see it, Qiancao Xing, which had just been reorganized into a shipping company, and the original Yangtze River shipping company received a heavy political task - Zheng Fan asked them to transport a batch of important "materials" to Longkou (where the poured water river flows into the Yangtze River) by deducting taxes. Now that this batch of "goods" has arrived at their destination safely, these water people who were lucky enough to get away in the screening have finally let go of their hearts for more than half a month.

"The owner, with this list, we have been fortunate for more than half a month, and the surname Zheng is black-hearted."

The sailors who still remember the thrilling disintegration of Caoxing naturally did not have a good impression of the mastermind behind the executioners, but the shipowner, who still had to do business under Zheng Fan, was busy correcting: "What nonsense, rambling to say that this list can resist the ship board tax in the future, but it is really not worth it, and it can be related to the government, and it will be convenient for us to sail on the river in the future." ”

"The owner, I'll just talk nonsense, if we sneak into the water, and then go to the Daqing realm to tell them what we have loaded, is there a reward of thousands of taels of silver, hey, the owner, didn't I say it's nonsense, why did you open it." Oops, stop fighting, stop fighting. ”

"It's light to hit you a few times, you don't want to think about it, whose ground are we begging for a living on now, and you don't want to think about the old team at home, is it possible that you want to implicate them." The puffing shipowner put down the guy in his hand. "It's also for your good to hit you a few times, you are old and on the boat, don't you know the virtues of the Qing soldiers. In the past, I reported that people with empty mouths and white teeth were not allowed to be the opposite. Even if you believe it, you can't say that you will lose your merits and use your head for military merit. The owner snorted. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't involve the big guys. ”

"The proprietor is right," the sailor who was beaten in vain thought that it was really like that, and his thoughts of revenge and profit faded, and then he was busy giving himself two mouths. "Look at my stinky mouth, I just want to be wealthy, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's go back, regardless of his Daming, Daqing or Dazheng, we won't go inside"

The civilian ships and merchant ships that transported the "goods" have returned, but they can't reach it in a short period of time if they don't want to participate, the battle of Huguang is related to the Ming Zheng Guoyun, they still have more "goods" to transport, and the materials related to it are a non-scale number, so they have to be fortunate for a while.

Looking at the shadow of the sail that was gradually moving away, the "goods" who had been preliminarily reorganized also left the temporary ferry port where people had turned on their backs, and headed to the inner 6 lines of the north, and while traveling, one of them also asked the guide sent by the local garrison: "Have you checked the situation in the west, has the Qing army retreated cleanly, and there are no horses left on the road?" ”

"Back to my lord's words, the Qing army brigade has indeed gone to the west, and it should have been led by the king's brigade, but on the way to the west, there are Qing cavalry and horses, and the township warriors in An6 and other places are also very active, covering the road, our people can't go deep, and we can't be sure that the Qing army didn't leave a hand."

The person who asked the question frowned, and then relaxed, yes, it doesn't matter if you can't infiltrate here, as long as the Qing army appears in Jingzhou, there must be a clipper ship to send the news back, and when he makes another move, it will be too late to think about it, but it is very important to conceal the truth and falsehood and cover the eyes and ears of the Qing army.

"When you go back, you will sue the horse commander, we will not do anything about it, just wait for the king's order, but don't let the Tartars find out that I have arrived, otherwise this drama will be smashed."

"This humble duty is saved, my lord just rest assured, the third division of the Yongwei Army and the first division of the Shesheng Army have formed a coalition army, and they are clarifying the area between Huangpi and Xiaogan piece by piece, and will never let any captives show up the Iron Cavalry Army and Hussar Army."

Iron Cavalry and Hussars? That's right, these are Zheng Kezang's two horse army divisions transferred from Jiangnan, and they are also the only horse army divisions formed by Zheng Jun, equipped with Mongolian horses, southern Japanese horses, and Taixi horses from the two major horse farms of Jeju and Green Island in Zheng Domain. However, due to the problem of training, in fact, these two divisions can only be regarded as mounted infantry divisions, but Rao is so, at a critical time, if a key place appears, it is enough to turn the tide.

"It's not just the Iron Cavalry and the Hussars." Le Minyue, who was under the command of the first division of the Iron Cavalry Army and concurrently the commander of the cavalry, showed a certain look on his face. "The army of this domain has poured out, and it is so important that you horse control must not be able to afford it."

The guide sent by the Third Division of the Yongwei Army was violently excited, and his face became stern: "I have been taught by my humble duty."
