In the Haiyan Hall in the back garden of the Yamen of the Inner River Governor of Huai'an Prefecture, An Bulu, who had just taken over as the governor of Jiangsu by the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, was squinting and listening to the squeaky Kunqu Opera, as the thoroughfare of the nine provinces in the past, the Kunqu Opera team in Huai'an City was not inferior to those top horns in Suzhou City and Beijing City, and it was no wonder that the governor of the ticket friend listened to it with a smile.

Now that the river governor is not abandoned, the Cao governor has also moved to Jining, the Jiang governor is trapped in Yangzhou City, and the entire Huai'an Mansion is an Bulu, and naturally no one is uninterested in disturbing the poor hobby of the Fuyuan Lord.

However, the guest still came, and saw a personal soldier Goshha running in front of Ambulu in three steps and two steps, first a thousand, and then a slightly panting report: "My lord, it has been verified, and the sea reverse has indeed retreated?"

An Bulu's eyes suddenly opened, and a fine light shot out instantly: "Please come to discuss with Mr. Lu!" ”

At this moment, Ambulu couldn't listen to it, and when several generals and deputy generals from other towns who came to aid the Soviet Union did not arrive, he grabbed the personal soldiers who reported the news and asked carefully about the investigation. But the more he asked, the more gloomy An Bulu's face became, and it wasn't until all the people from his subordinates who came to report that he returned to the house with a solemn expression and changed into formal clothes and walked to Santang.

In the voice of the lower officials and the Zhongcheng, An Bulu sat on the handsome seat, he swept the people who bowed down, and raised his hand slightly: "Let's all get up and speak." ”

Although the soldiers of the Zheng army once came to the city, after all, the large-scale bloody battle had not yet officially broken out, so all the generals did not have helmets and armor, and they could not hear the clanging sound when they turned over in official robes.

After waiting for a few general soldiers to get up, Ambulu slowly spoke: "The sea rebellion by the canal has retreated south, so this official invites all the adults to discuss it today, how to deal with this matter, several adults also know, the official has never been very familiar with the affairs of the army, and also asked a few adults to give more advice, so that the official will not make a mistake in his busy schedule and miss the emperor's major affairs." ”

A few general soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one spoke for a while, seeing this scene, An Bulu coughed lightly with some displeasure, so Wen Youdao, the chief soldier of Zhili Daming Town, took the lead in coming out and said: "Since Zhongcheng said so, the lower officials will have the courage to speak." ”

An Bulu nodded, and listened to Wen Youdao say: "Xiaguan has spied on the barracks of Haiwei many times, and its strength is far more than that of our army's towns, but now he has retreated without a fight, and his plan is very suspicious. ”

"Appeasement platform, the lower officials think that Lord Wen's words may be reasonable." Lu Wen, the chief soldier of Caozhou Town, Shandong, hugged his fist at An Bulu from the seat he was standing on. "But Xia Guanxian, Hai Reverse has been in the city for a few days to harvest the summer grain outside the city, so it seems that even if Hai Reverse is not short of grain and grass, there is also the meaning of the enemy because of the grain, if you don't respond, I am afraid that the entire summer grain will no longer be owned by the state, as for the autumn grain," Lu Wen shook his head. "It seems that don't think about it this year."

If it is really as Lu Wen said, then Zheng Jun is already in an invincible position, and as a former official who has just left Beijing, he clearly knows that the grain in Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places is not even enough to supply Beijing, let alone support the long-term battle of Jianghuai.

"There is some truth in Lord Lu's words." Amblum said slowly. "Hai Rebellion has the support of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is not afraid of breaking the Jianghuai, and the imperial court uses troops on all sides, and the grain and straw are very tight, so there is really no strength to supply the war between the two Huai for a long time." Amblum paused. "In this way, there is only a decisive battle out of the city."

"No," Chen Baoru, the deputy general of the Caodu Central Battalion, hurriedly persuaded. "Zhongcheng can't be taken lightly." Chen Baoru explained. "Although the siege of Yangzhou has been around for a long time, the horse system platform is looking forward to it, but now that the Ganxi Incident has occurred, the imperial court has no more soldiers and horses to reinforce Jiangsu for a while, and we have become the only force.

A bean-sized cold sweat oozed out of An Bulu's head, Chen Baoru was right, once Huai'an's 40,000 Qing troops lost the field battle, Huai'an, Xuzhou, and Haizhou, the two prefectures and prefectures, would no longer have the strength to resist the Zheng army, and I am afraid that even half of Shandong and half of Henan would fall into the flames of war, and I am afraid that it would be even more impossible to clean up.

Dou Mengqi, the general of the conscription general and the deputy general of the left battalion of the river channel, knows very well that if you want to dye your top red, you always need blood, so he does not support the tactics that cannot be defended: "Then you can't sit back and watch the sea go against the sea and calmly collect two Huai grains, otherwise even if the emperor will not punish us for this, these more than 40,000 mouths will eat us to death and eat us to death." ”

A few generals, you say a word, I say a word, each holding one end, it is nothing more than cautious or hasty progress, Ambulu is distressed by this, he really does not have the talent to command the army, I don't know how to choose, for a while he gave birth to Kangxi to ask for another army to send another army to lead the two Huai armies in the future.

After hesitating for a long time, Ambulu coughed lightly, and the generals who knew that the superior had made a decision finally stopped fighting, and at this time he listened to Ambulu's order: "Whether the sea reversal lures me to the south is not yet certain, but the Huai'an soldiers are related to the safety of the three provinces of Sulu and Henan, so they can't fight in waves.

On June 18, the Zheng army abandoned Baoying, and the main force of the army withdrew to Gaoyou, while still remaining small units in Yancheng, Dongtai, and Xinghua counties. But this time, Zheng Jun seemed to have lost his eyes again, and Ambulu, who was still unable to reach a unified opinion, continued to hold on to his troops, so Zheng Kezhang thought that the time was ripe for action.

On June 19, the Maqi Xiangu Canal and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which climbed to the head of Yangzhou to observe the movements of the Zheng army, were haunted by Zheng Jun's boats and boats, and they were constantly day and night, Ma Qi was very worried about this, but because there was Zheng Junhong's single boat shuttling on the canal, the Qing army could not get close to check, so he did not know the purpose of Zheng Jun's transfer of ships, and in the end Ma Qi could only comfort himself with the fact that this was Zheng Jun's grain ship.

On 20 June, the northbound fleet arrived at Gaoyou for the first time, and Zheng's army used the Yangtze River Fleet to cover Gaoyou Lake and sent troops to board the ship. On that day, the boats on the lake continued to flow, and in just one day, a division of soldiers, horses, and all equipment were transported to the west of the lake.

Huxi, yes, but Huxi. Since Tianchang County, which belongs to Anhui Province, and Gaoyou Prefecture are only separated by a lake of more than ten miles, Zheng Kezhang planned to take advantage of Zheng Jun's advantages in the transportation of sailors to carry out a successful transfer. In the next two days and one night, Zheng's army crossed a total of 30,000 troops with four divisions and 10,000 new annexed troops, and then these 30,000 troops marched westward to the foot of the Great Wall of Heaven. In order to cover up the whereabouts of this westward advancing force, Zheng Kezhang inspected the three armies under Gaoyou City many times. Since the total strength of the Zheng army was still more than 40,000 at the moment, the Huai'an Qing army did not have the slightest action of the Zheng army, and was still stranded under the city of Huai'an, but only sent a small force to try to recover Yancheng, but was ambushed by the cavalry troops of the first and second divisions of the Xuanwu army. The Qing army, which had lost hundreds of people, immediately retreated to Huai'an City, and from then on, except for a few scattered outposts, it no longer dared to send troops and horses at will.

On the other hand, the 30,000 people of the Zheng army marched day and night, first converged the two divisions of the Tiger Ben Army in the north, and then went straight to the city of Chuzhou, Song Ju woke up one night and found that he had been surrounded by the superior forces of the Zheng army, and he was suddenly shocked, he couldn't imagine how the Zheng army descended from the sky, but the matter had come to this point, and he had to fight hard to defend Chuzhou.

The Zheng army, which was marching quickly, rested on the spot for two days, and then joined the two divisions of the Longxiang army from Jiangpu, with a total strength of 50,000. In addition, the large-caliber short guns dismantled from the naval gunboats arrived with the arrival of the Long Xiang army, and the preparations for the siege of the city were completely completed. Now that everything has been prepared, the Zheng army, which is afraid that the direction of Gaoyou will change, will attack on the same day.

Although Song Ju relied on the city wall of Chuzhou to resist stubbornly, but in fact Chuzhou's city defense was not complete, and the reason why the Tiger Army did not conquer it before was mainly because there were only 10,000 people in the two divisions of the Tiger Army at that time, and Xi Daping, who commanded the operation, did not want to lose too many troops in the siege. Now, the Zheng army not only has the main force of eight divisions, but also has 10,000 new annexed troops as cannon fodder.

In the process of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the troops who have just changed the court are usually the most ferocious, and these former green battalion soldiers under the command of Zheng Jun are no exception, under the coercion of Zheng Jun's guns, these new annexed troops burst out of one hundred and twenty points of combat power, from morning to night, the onslaught is not stopped, and it has attacked the head of Chuzhou three times, although it was finally driven down by the Qing army, but it also caused great losses to the Qing army.

Of course, the greater losses came from the ferocious artillery fire of the Zheng army, because most of the artillery carried by the Qing army in the Song Dynasty was about 3,000 catties of marching artillery, so in a short period of time it was impossible to move to the city by manpower alone, and only more than ten rusty old artillery guns on the city of Chuzhou could not fight back against the continuous artillery fire of the Zheng army, after being shelled many times, the four corner towers and twelve nests in the head of Chuzhou City were on fire, some of the battlements were shattered, and all the exposed targets on the city wall were swept away by the projectiles like rain, and the Qing army was forced to dodge in all directions. The morale of the military was extremely low.

By the time Zheng Jun's powerful four-and-a-half-inch (44-pound) short cannon came close to fire, the Chuzhou city wall, which had long been cracked, finally collapsed. The Huari (Dadong) Gate was directly hit by a cannonball, and the cannonball with great kinetic energy not only tore apart the city gate, but also cracked and collapsed along with the obstacles behind the city gate.

However, Song Ju still desperately commanded the Qing army to fill the defense, and the Qing army, which had committed unforgivable sins under Lai'an City, also knew what would await them once the city was broken, so they ignored the stubborn resistance of a qiqi and drove the new annexed army that attacked the city overnight out of the city again. However, when these former robes finally could not be attacked, the Qing army itself was exhausted.

In the early morning of June 30, the Zheng army launched a strong attack again, this time the six main divisions attacked the six gates of Chuzhou respectively, and the Qing army, which had consumed too much energy in the battle overnight, finally could not stop the attack of this new force, and the six gates changed hands one after another, and the battle immediately spread to the city, although the Qing army resisted vigorously, but finally failed to stop the advance of the Zheng army.

On the afternoon of July 1, the Zheng army finally attacked the Chuzhou Prefecture, and Song Ju and Chuzhou Zhizhou, who had no time to commit suicide, were captured alive, and more than 330 members of the general and deputy general of the green battalion in the remaining towns were captured either by death, and 30,000 Qing troops were wiped out

Out of the group, Tai Xinma, back on the 16th.
