Although Shana Hai led most of the troops to escape, in order to transport the troops as much as possible in a hurry, most of the grain, straw, ordnance, artillery, etc. were abandoned in Jiangnan. Therefore, after his troops retreated across the Yangtze River, they were afraid that Zheng's army would take advantage of the victory to pursue, so they abandoned Huangzhou, Hankou, Xiaogan and other places, and hurriedly retreated to An6 and De'an to prepare troops and horses.

The Qing army retreated, and the people of Huangzhou Mansion decisively abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and sent people across the river to ask the Zheng army to surrender. However, the emissaries who came in a hurry could not find anyone who could call the shots-Wu Shu was terminally ill and had few days to live; Although Cui Ping, the defender of Wuchang, is meritorious in protecting Wuchang, he is also involved in Liu Ning'an's rebellion, and he is clamping his tail tightly to be a man, so he naturally can't take care of everything; As for Wang Xinhua, he was neither a descendant nor a guest army, and he couldn't even enter Wuchang City, so naturally he couldn't call the shots - so he had to be trapped in Wuchang City like a headless fly.

Fortunately, this group of messengers did not wait long, and those who could call the shots came from Anqing.

On September 17, the third day after Shanahai withdrew from eastern Hubei Province, Yuan Fu of the Cabinet, Scholar of Wenhuadian University, Young Master of the Crown Prince, and Bo Honglei of Xinchang entered Wuchang (Ezhou) as supervisors, and immediately took over the military power in the hands of Wu Shu.

Hearing that Hong Lei arrived, Cui Ping hesitated for two days, and then rode Jian from Wuchang County to Hong Lei to plead guilty. Hong Lei personally greeted the door, and staged a live drama of cherishing talents for the country and employing people without doubt. Subsequently, Cui Ping, who was grateful, personally guided the main force of the Zheng army into the city of Wuchang.

After entering Wuchang, Hong Lei met with Wang Xinhua for the first time, because his troops were hit hard by the Shana Sea before, so Wang Xinhua at this time was respectful in front of Hong Lei, and took the initiative to hand over the defense of Yueyang to Zheng Jun. In this regard, Hong Lei smiled and accepted, but Wang Xinhua was dumb and had a bitter remark about eating Coptis chinensis.

Hong Lei knew Wang Xinhua's careful thoughts, so after receiving a group of envoys from Huangzhou Mansion who begged to be attached, he used the power of the superintendent to promote Wang Xinhua to the position of acting Huguang General Army, and ordered him to lead the two divisions to the north and advance to the line of Huangpi and Xiaogan, so as to prevent the comeback of Shanahai.

Wang Xinhua had three divisions at this time, and only let him lead 10,000 people north, obviously to weaken his strength, but Wang Xinhua also understood that this was Zheng Kezang's punishment for his lack of success after occupying Yueyang, so he didn't dare to resist and obediently led his troops north. The remaining 5,000 people of the Wang Department were combined with the 2,000 remnants of Cui Ping's army to form two new divisions, led by Cui Ping to the north. Cui Ping, who was appointed as the deputy chief of the acting Huguang Army, also lived up to Hong Lei's expectations, and with the support of the Yangtze River Fleet of the Naval Division, the first soldiers regained Hanyang Mansion without bloodshed, and then recovered Hanchuan and Chuyang (Honghu and Xiantao) all the way.

However, when the battle reached this point, although the Qing court was unable to fight again because of the loss of troops and land, and the lack of food, Zheng Fang was also faced with the situation of being ruined inside and outside the city of Wuchang Mansion, and more than 100,000 victims were waiting to be fed. As a result, the two sides licked their wounds, and the Huguang War of that year came to an end.

Just as Hong Lei appeased the people of Wuchang with work for relief, Wu Shu, who had run out of oil and lamps, finally gave up and returned to the west. When the news reached the ears of Zheng Kezang, who was leading the troops to attack Anqing, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but mourn, personally presided over the Yao sacrifice, and gave this veteran who was loyal to Zheng Fan and determined to resist the Qing Dynasty "Wu Jing" The first class nickname, and ordered his son Wu Keng to attack the Marquis of Huaiyuan and accept him as a guard, so as to set an example for the whole army and the new generals.

After paying tribute to Wu Shu, Zheng Kezang, who re-packed his mood, changed Wuchang County to Exian County, and ordered Hong Lei to move Jiangxia County and Hanyang County attached to Guo in the south of the two prefectures, among which Jiangxia County was built in Jinkou and Hanyang County was built in Hannan. Immediately, Zheng Kezhang changed Hanyang County to Huarong County, and dispatched the Yangtze River Fleet to Exian, Huarong County, Jiayu County, and Yueyang Mansion.

On 22 September, a war report from Guangxi came that He Qian's troops and the first division of Longxiang's army first took Liuzhou and then Nanning, and all parts of Guangxi surrendered one after another, and the advance of Zheng's army had already invaded Guizhou. When Zheng Kezhang heard the good news, he immediately changed the governor of Guangdong, Chen Mengwei, to the governor of Guangdong, and Gu Tongshan, the governor of Jiangxi, to be the political envoy of Jiangxi, and ordered the governor of Hunan, Lu Xuefang, to be transferred to Guangxi, and Wu Shu's brother Wu Qian to be transferred from the Governor of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court to the governor of Hunan

There were many good news in the southwest battlefield, but the most critical Anqing battle did not make any progress. Anqing city north of Longshan, east lake west south of the river, the overall terrain is the same as Yangzhou, Zheng army can not use excavation tactics to force into the city wall, so they have to use the new annex army to fill the moat first, but close to the way of attack. However, the Qing army in Anqing City was abundant, and Wang Weizhen, the governor and admiral, also strengthened and renovated the Anqing city wall several times, so although the Zheng army was densely artillery, the soldiers used their lives, and spared no effort to drive away the new annexed army, but they were unable to take the fortified city.

Zheng Kezhang was very anxious in the face of the food and straw materials consumed like a splash, and the Zheng army was also demoralized day by day because of the heavy casualties in the siege. Zheng Kezhang had no choice but to change the attack to a siege, and at the same time, in order to blast open the city wall of Anqing, Zheng Kezhang also ordered the transfer of large warships of the Oriental Fleet regardless of the possibility of running aground.

When the huge figures of the 7,000-material "Tongshan Island" and the 7,500-material "Nanao Island" appeared on the surface of the Anqing River, the Qing army generals and colonies standing at the head of Anqing City were shaken. Although the large warship could not sail into Anhui, Zheng Kezang's belief that he would definitely conquer Anqing had been transmitted to their minds, and everyone was secretly asking themselves how long the isolated city could hold out in the case of foreign aid being cut off and struggling to support the crisis, and whether it was necessary for them to go all the way to the dark for the Qing court.

Seeing the fluctuation of people's hearts, Wang Weizhen, who was born in the blue flag of the Han army, became anxious and became ill, and finally fell ill under the non-stop shelling of the Zheng army day and night. Since Wang Weizhen, who was loyal to the Qing court because of the Ming and Zheng's policy of liquidating traitors, was unable to see things, the suspicious and suspicious domain Tai Amin wanted to preside over the overall situation. But although Amin is an authentic Manchurian sect, the problem is that there are more people with a higher status than him in the city, and there are as many as seven or eight people with the title of general soldier alone, and there are two or three people who are ranked as the first rank of the governor of the expedition.

As a result, Amin's self-proclaimed act of acting governor and admiral caused great dissatisfaction. But Amin did not restrain at all, but in the name of collaborating with the enemy, he detained two general soldiers who opposed him, which caused public anger. The high-level leaders of the Green Flag Army, who originally had no intention of secretly communicating with Zheng Jun, now had to send an envoy to contact him in order to protect himself.

In this way, according to the results of the loss of sincerity to Zheng Fang, in the middle of the night of October 13 in the third year of Wuding, four Qing army commanders and adjutant generals led pacesetters and battalions to join forces to rebel, and the troops who were still loyal to the Qing court set fire in the city. In the chaos, I don't know who opened the gates of Anqing and led Zheng Jun into the city. Because Zheng Jun did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy in the middle of the night, and was deeply afraid that it was the Qing army's plan to lure the enemy into the depths, he only controlled the five city gates and the connected city walls of Zhenyang, Zhenhai, Kangji, Zhengguan, and Jixian, and did not penetrate into the city.

But this is enough, after the dawn, the Qing army that has now controlled all the gates of Zheng Jun knows that the general trend has gone, and they have abandoned their troops and begged to surrender, and the city is full of people who have committed suicide, and Wang Weizhen, who is still lying on the sickbed, was dedicated to Zheng Kezang's car by his cronies. The sick and dying governor and admiral begged Zheng Kezhang for mercy with tears in his eyes. Given that it was the first begging Qing court to surrender, Zheng Kezhang granted him amnesty for propaganda purposes and subsequently sent him to Yingtian for treatment. At this point, the Battle of Anqing and the entire Northern Expedition of Zheng Fang came to an end.

Zheng Kezhang left the two divisions of soldiers and horses under the command of Huainan General Xi Daping, guarding Anqing, Susong and other places, and organized the captured and surrendered Qing army into an engineering army under the supervision of a division, and drove it to build a new city between **, Chuzhou, and Jiangpu to prepare for the future national capital and the base of the Northern Expedition.

It's a pity that Zheng Kezang's idea came to naught with the Huanghuai flood in the second year, and finally he weighed again and again and did not stop the construction project, but only reduced the amount of work, and took the new city as the provincial capital of Jiangbei Huainan, named after the old name of Chuzhou, Xinchang, and merged into Chuzhou, Hezhou and the old land of Hezhou and Jiangpu, **, Tianchang, and Xuyi counties that were originally subordinate to Yingtianfu and Sizhou Zhili Prefecture.

Of course, by the time Xinchang Mansion was officially established, it was already the end of the fourth year of Wuding.

After doing this, Zheng Kezhang sent two divisions to replace the third and fourth divisions of the Longxiang Army on the Huguang front line to return to the defense, and the remaining twelve went to Chizhou and Taiping to rest and recuperate, and then Zheng Kezhang personally took the captured Qing army to return to Nanjing and offer the noon gate. Zhu Cijiong, the king of Shucheng, who had no choice but to accept the position of the emperor's nephew, trembled and accepted Zheng Kezang's sacrifice at the noon gate, and then instead of the lingering sick Emperor Wuding, Zheng Kezhang was awarded the title of Taishi and Taifu, and because of Zheng Kezang's merits, Zhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin were posthumously awarded Zhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin as the king of Yue, and Zheng Kezang's biological mother Chen Zhaoniang was the first lady and the princess of Yue.

On October 20 of the third year of Wuding, the civil and military officials under the Zheng Fan sect persuaded the table to invite Zheng Kezhang to replace the Ming family to ascend the throne as the emperor, but Zheng Kezhang refused to allow it on the grounds that the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren were loyal to the Ming family. Two days later, the people of Nanjing and Jiangnan once again pleaded with Zheng Kezhang to ascend to the supreme position, but Zheng Kezhang refused again on the grounds that the Tartars had not yet been expelled.

In this regard, Zheng Kezhang personally convened hundreds of officials, explained the situation and ideas, appeased the ministers without worry, and promised that after a little peace inside and outside and a sound system, he would stand on behalf of Ming, so that Zheng Fan, who intended to act as the founder of the country, temporarily suppressed his boiling thoughts.

However, Dai Ming's momentum has been created, and the whole of China and even the foreign domains have already known that Ming Zuo is not eternal, and in this case, the news that the deposed prince Zhu Ciene died violently due to excessive alcohol and typhoid fever could not be effectively cured, everyone took it for granted
