On the seventh day of the fifth month of the third year of Wuding, Emperor Zhu Youge of Wuding promulgated the edict of the capital Yingtian and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in Fujing, and the edict and the festival and the Yue were sent to Zheng Kezang's hands four days later. In the face of Emperor Wuding's intention to seize the throne, Zheng Kezhang made a clear response, and then at the swearing-in ceremony held on the outskirts of Yingtian, Zheng Kezhang never mentioned the edict of the south, but only wanted to call for the righteousness of the nation-state, and once again put forward the slogan of expelling the Tatars and restoring China

The thin river mist faded little by little under the sunlight, and the flood soldiers who had secretly slept in the middle of the night also woke up sluggishly at this moment, but before they could rub off the eye droppings at the corners of their eyes, there was a shadow of ignorance in their blurred vision. Looking at the seemingly overwhelming shadow of the ship, it took them a long time to wake up and scream, turn around and run.

"The big thing is not good, the sea, the sea has crossed the river against the river"

Through the clairvoyant mirror, I saw the sloppy Qing army and flood soldiers running wildly on the north bank, and Huang Chuxu, who personally came to the front line to command, showed an inscrutable smile on his face: "Raise the flag, order each team to send flag men to go ashore to guide the artillery bombardment, and then notify the brigade to prepare to go ashore after the shelling."

The rumbling cannon fire announced the arrival of the Zheng army, and on May 13, the day that Kangxi in the Forbidden City's Yangxin Palace officially learned that the northern expedition of the Ming Zheng regime was imminent, an unprecedentedly large Han army ascended the land that had fallen for nearly half a century.

"Quick, Sentry to the left of the road." Although the Zheng Junshui Division has already had the experience of climbing 6 many times, the 6 climb of nearly 100,000 troops is the first time in the world, no wonder the military law department commanding the traffic is busy sweating profusely. "The horse team goes on the left, yes, it's you, see the road clearly, it's the lime row"

"It's still the king's good saying, the plan is not as good as the change." Looking at the appearance of the people on the beachhead of Deng 6 turning over on their backs, before it was the turn of Deng 6 on a certain boat, two former classmates were standing on the side of the boat and talking quietly. "Obviously, it's all calculated, but when it comes to going ashore, it's still a mess."

"I can't blame the General Staff Office about this." Li Shun, who had just been transferred from the second-class staff officer of the General Staff Office to the commander of the Second Division of the Yongwei Army, naturally wanted to excuse his work. "We have exhausted our family and only have 130,000 people, and the Qing army has about the same strength on the front line along the Yangtze River alone, not to mention the reinforcements from the hinterland provinces of Qingjiangpu, Xuzhou, Luzhou, and even Shandong, Henan, etc., which are located in depth, and the General Staff Department naturally has to make every effort to avoid hard consumption with the Tartars."

"Brother Pingda, I understand the truth you said, and I also explained it in the division before the war." Qian Kan, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Yongwei Army, shook his head. "I mean, why don't you choose a few more places on the 6th of these hundreds of miles of river beaches, and tens of thousands of troops are piled up together, how to stretch out, isn't it a mistake."

"There's no way, who made it impossible for the sailor to completely clear the warships of the Qing army in Jiangbei until now." In fact, Li Shun also knew that this could not be blamed on the unfavorable operation of the naval division, and he must know that there were many tributaries on both sides of the Yangtze River, and there were many small rivers with vertical and horizontal forks, and unknown small rivers abounded, and even the flat-bottomed red single boats of the Yangtze River fleet did not dare to pursue them at will. "If the enemy is divided, it will be more or less damaged." Li Shun explained casually. "Although the degree of transfer is slower, but the integration of the group also has the benefit of the integration of the group, at least if the enemy of Yangzhou and Taizhou is attacked halfway, they will not be able to eat us in one bite."

"Ma Qi, this shrunken-headed turtle, does he dare to attack halfway?" Qian Kan pouted disdainfully and pointed in the direction of Yangzhou City. "I guess that the Governor Ma hasn't figured out where our main force is."

Qian Kan's words revealed a fact, that is, although Zheng Jun was racing with thousands of sails this time, in fact, the direction of attack was also divided into primary and secondary. Among them, more than 20,000 people in the four divisions of the Chizhou battalion did not cross the river at all, and threatened Anqing, Lujiang, Wuwei and other places with a posture of leading and not daring to support the eastern front at will, while the fourth division of the Longxiang army of the Yangtze River Fleet and the third division of the Longxiang army of the Dongyang fleet bluffed in the direction of Tongzhou, Taixing, and Haimenting, forcing the Qing army in the above-mentioned areas to hold the city and unable to rescue Yangzhou, as for the remaining 18 divisions of nearly 100,000 people, all of them were used in front of Yangtai, respectively from Yangzi (Yizheng), Diaojiadu (Gaogang District) and other places to cross the river. Prepare to solve the threat of the Yangzhou battalion of the Qing army in one fell swoop.

"Actually, I don't think it's a good thing that the main force of the Qing army is nested in Yangzhou City." Li Shun did not agree with Qian Kan's view. "After all, Yangzhou is a water network area, it is very inconvenient to attack the city, and the Qing prisoners have been in business for many years, if we are trapped under the city, the Qing captives from the outside line will come one after another, and then our army will be passive."

"That's just as well." Qian Kan pondered for a while and agreed with Li Shun's point of view. "It's better to draw it out, but I'm afraid that Ma Qi can't see the shape clearly, and the resolution will not change to change, which will be bad." The two were talking, when suddenly there was an earth-shattering cheer from the shore, although the cheers resounded in the sky, but Qian Kan couldn't hear what he was cheering for, so he ordered. "Someone, go and ask, what are you howling about?"

After a while, Ma Ben, who was full of excitement, ran back from the flagbearer on the ship: "My lord, good news, I have won the Yangtze (Yizheng)." ”

"Yangtze?" Li Shun came down from the center in the end, but he just slapped his thoughts and laughed. "Hu Meihu Zhenxiao, this kid is very good with his hands and feet, so the connection between the Qing prisoners in Yangzhou and the enemy on the Western Front has been cut off, and when the Tiger Guards take Taizhou again, then Ma Qi, the old boy, is the turtle in the urn."

"This is indeed good news, but our 100,000 troops cross the river, Jiangnan will be empty, in case Jiangpu (Pukou) and the enemy of ** take advantage of the situation to go south, this is a repetition of the old story." Qian Kan pretended to be worried and said, in fact, he knew in his heart that there were two teams of soft sailing gunboats of the Oriental Fleet cruising day and night on the Yingtianduan River, and the Qing troops in the two places definitely did not have the courage to make a desperate bet. "The First Division of the Huben Army should be allowed to continue to advance westward, attack **, occupy Pukou, and threaten Chuzhou."

When Li Shun heard this, he immediately joked with Qian Kan happily: "Listening to Brother Gu Xiong's tone, why is he still a commander now, I think it is a great condescension, the king should at least appoint Brother Gu Xiong as the first-class staff officer, no, no, the first-class staff officer is still too young, and Sun Tongyi has to let Xian a day earlier." ”

Qian Kan looked at Li Shun with some tears and laughter, and was about to fight back, but when he saw Li Shun talking and talking, his face suddenly froze: "Okay, you Qian Guxiong, did you deliberately want to send the brothers of the Tiger Ben Army to the Western Front to fight and block, so as not to let them share in the exploits of conquering Yangzhou, I can't see that your kid is quite insidious." ”

Seeing Qian Kan's ugly face, Li Shun laughed again: "Joke, joke, but you kid should really enter the staff hall, it's a pity, your construction is late, the staff hall has long planned to let the two divisions of the Huben Army go to Chuzhou to clear the threat of the western front, your mind is in vain, it's not worth it, it's not worth it." ”

Of course, Qian Kan understood what Li Shun meant by being unworthy, it was nothing more than saying that he had exposed his bad intentions but his efforts were a little worthless, but this was also a complete slander, but he also knew that this must still be Li Shun's joke, so he also made a face with cooperation: "Superintendent, I thought you were an old classmate, an old friend, but I didn't expect you to become a different person when you entered the staff hall, this kind of joke is okay."

"Angry?" Li Shun took off the iron helmet that had been crooked from laughing. "The soldiers are in danger of war, it has only been 20 years since the year of Jiayin, half of the students have died on the battlefield, leaving a few of you and me, and we may not be able to escape this continuous war.

Qian Kan didn't expect Li Shun to say such a thing, the original intention to tease faded at that time, and the tone of his voice became ethereal: "Yes, yes, it's been twenty years with a flick of your fingers, and you and I have changed from childish to middle-aged, but this battle is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know when it will be peaceful, maybe"

Speaking of this, Qian Kan paused and said softly: "Huangsha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken." ”

"Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. Li Shun also responded with Yue Fei's Man Jianghong. Chaotianque, Chaotianque, Brother Gu Xiong, you said that after the first phase of the Northern Expedition, will the king stand on behalf of Ming? ”

"How can you and I speculate on the king's thoughts?" Qian Kan also took off his iron helmet and hugged it in his arms. "But I guess it's fast, in the past few decades, you and I know what the descendants of the Zhu family are like in Dongning, not to mention anything else, the brothers who have died in battle over the years can't agree to let their corpses live in their places underground."

"Anyway, the Zhu family is still orthodox in the former Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of the hearts of the people in the world, the king always has some concerns."

"Is the human heart better than a knife?" Qian Kan sneered. "Qing captives entered China with Yidi, why did they sit firmly in the country, they didn't rely on killing, killing people's heads, killing the country and changing color, that's it."

"That's right, a knife in one hand, benevolence and righteousness in the other"

"Two adults," said the two men, as the ship's helmsman came over to report. "I have just received the flag of the Yinzi ship, and I ordered this ship, as the ship of the Second Division of the Yongwei Army, to dock at once.6

The military order is like a mountain, Li Shun immediately interrupted his unfinished words, quickly put on the iron helmet, and ordered sternly: "Then follow the order of the Lord of the Metropolitan Commander, immediately dock, Qian Commander, order your subordinates, ready"
