"General Rong, five days ago, Xinfeng Bo had led 8,000 new soldiers from Jiangzhong to Changsha," the Hengyong Chengui Dao Yamen in the city of Hengzhou has now become the Hunan General Military Mansion, and Mao Hongyan, who is the Hunan General Army, listened to the report of his staff officers with a solemn face at the moment. "The Qing Dynasty Hunan political envoy Rong Ahe and Changsha prefect Du Gui closed the city and defended the city, and Xinfengbo was short of troops, so he led troops north to attack Yueyang as soon as he couldn't attack, and it seemed that he intended to join Yueqing Bo first."

"Wang Xinhua wants to borrow the power of the gunboats of the Yangtze River Naval Division." Lin Kang, who served as Mao Hongyan's staff officer with the title of first-class staff officer of the Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, immediately pointed out the other party's intentions. "However, if you can lead the water division into the eight-hundred-mile Dongting, it will still be quite beneficial to cut off the connection between the Qing army of the two lakes."

"But we can't let the enemy in Changsha put our army on the back." Feng Hui, the former general staff of the Zuohu Guard Division, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Daozhou Division, thought that the actions of Wang Xinhua and Hong Gongzhu would cause the Qing army to threaten the Zheng army on the southern front from the two directions of Baoqing and Changsha. "Even if it's a bluff, it's better to make the Qing prisoners dare not go out of the city."

"Our army is only 40,000, and the number of veterans in Dongning is only 11, and there are only 20,000 people who participated in the Battle of Shaoguan and entered southern Hunan. Regarding Feng Hui's proposition, Guiyang Shidu controlled Gu Le, but expressed opposition. "The enemy of Changsha is just a plague of moss, and now the key is to attack Baoqing and Yongzhou in the west, and cut off the road for the Hunan Qing captives to go south to reinforce Guangxi, so that Changhuabo can take advantage of the momentum of Guilin and go straight to Liuzhou, and drive the Qinglu in Guizhong to the mountains of western Guangxi, so as to block the western flank of our army."

"Didn't the king transfer Zhou Zhenghe's Zuo Funing Division?" Feng Hui has her own calculations. "Just free up a division to go north." Feng Hui looked left and right, and when he saw that no one responded, he recommended himself. "If a few adults don't want to miss the Battle of Baoqing, then let the Daozhou Division go north."

Mao Hongyan, who had been listening to it for a long time, raised his eyelids at this time: "There is no joke in the army, do you dare to make a military order?" ”

Feng Hui chuckled and said: "If you want to say that you want to take Changsha City, Xia Guan doesn't dare to play this guarantee, but if you just contain the Changsha defenders and prevent them from attacking the flanks and rear of our army in the north and south, Xia Guan still dares to make this military order." ”

Mao Hongyan didn't say much, just asked the staff officer on the side to hand over the pen and paper, Feng Hui did it overnight, Mao Hongyan didn't look at the military order after taking it, and casually put it aside and ordered Feng Hui: "You can go by yourself." ”

Feng Hui retreated after giving a military salute, Mao Hongyan looked at his back, and then said in a condensed voice: "Order Zhou Zhenghe and his troops to speed up and take over the defense of Chenzhou, Hengzhou and other places within five days, and the rest of the divisions will immediately rectify, first take Baoqing and then Yongzhou, and expel the mulberry to the official to the mountains of Xiangxi."

The large-scale changes in the hinterland of China finally reached through various channels**, and the overjoyed Dipasang Gyatso immediately sent an envoy to the Dzungar tribe, who arrived at Yilibari (Ili) at the end of August of the 33rd year of the Kangxi reign, and immediately canonized Tselu Alabutan as the Great Khan of Dzungar west of the Altai Mountains. After the mediation of the first party, the uncle and nephew, who were once enemies, reached a harmony. In the name of the Great Khan of Dzungar east of the Altai Mountains, Galdan rekindled his ambition to seize Khalkha Mongolia and Monan Mongolia by taking advantage of China's civil strife.

In order to match Galdan's ambitions, Sangyel Gyatso ordered the Yellow Lama who was lurking in Inner Mongolia and other places to spy on the military intelligence of the Qing court in Gansu and Monan Mongolia. However, these Huangjiao lamas were actually very inqualified as military spies, so the information that the Jungger people were preparing to make a comeback quickly gathered into Kangxi's hands.

Kangxi was very angry that the Dzungars were preparing to take advantage of the fire to rob, but in view of the experience of the Jin Dynasty's death in Mongolia, he did not dare to take it lightly, so on the one hand, the Qing court sent Shangshu Bandi of the Li Fan Yuan to Qinghai through Shaanxi and Gansu, intending to convey the news of peace to the Dalai Lama, on the other hand, he ordered Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi and other places to strengthen the green battalion to prepare for the enemy, and at the same time, the reorganized Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade were also arranged to Gubeikou and Dushikou.

But what gave Kangxi a headache was not only the pressure of the Jungger people, Zheng Kezang's early years in the northeast of the Fuqi now also played a greater role, in the face of Shengjing, Jilin and other places of the Eight Banners horse team of the Qing Army, Zheng Jun took advantage of the characteristics of the vast and sparsely populated Northeast to carry out a wide range of guerrilla operations, so that the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army repeatedly failed, tired of running for the Qing army's various leaders, assistant leaders, defense complaints, as a last resort, Kangxi could only order to include the wild Jurchen from all over the flag (garrison), Then these wild Jurchens were recruited to participate in the suppression of Zheng's guerrilla forces in the northeast, and went to Horqin and other places to "prepare for the border".

"The news from Zhendongbao that the Qing prisoners suddenly strengthened the efforts to clear and suppress the Guanwai branch of the Ministry of Staff, and several horse teams of our army thought that the Qing prisoners had broken through, and the personnel were seriously killed and wounded, and some of the rescued people were also slaughtered by the Qing prisoners." After receiving the request of the staff division, the officers and men of the Northern Fleet, who were gearing up, finally got the permission of Chu Jin, who was the commander of the fleet, at this moment. "In order to plan for the actions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Kanto region, the king agreed to the establishment of the General Staff Office and authorized the fleet to attack Lushunwei and other places again." Chu Jin paused. "However, the naval corps of this fleet is limited, so this officer has decided"

The weather in September in the northeast was already very cold, but the coastal areas had not yet been completely frozen, so Zheng's gunboats were able to force into the bay and shell the shore very close to the coast.

In the face of the Zheng army's artillery fire, several artillery forts of the Qing army did not show weakness, desperately spitting out hot projectiles, but unfortunately, the caliber and range of the Qing army's artillery were relatively close, and they only hit the shore and beach to stir up a few waves of sand and mud, which could not cause the slightest casualty to the Zheng ships at sea.

Of course, seemingly harmless artillery fire can also cause damage when Zheng Jun ascends the 6th, for this reason, the regimental commander who commanded the operation, Tian Xu, shook a shot, taking advantage of several artillery forts of the Qing army in Jinzhou Bay to be attracted by the artillery fire of the Zheng army's ships, and the 6th unit of the Deng 6th took a small boat and landed safely on the unattended beach a little farther away.

After more than two hours, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Zheng army and the artillery equipped with it were continuously sent to 6 places, and at the same time, a wooden trestle bridge built by the middle base soldiers was also extending into the sea, and the big action of the Zheng army finally attracted the attention of the Qing army. However, seeing such a large team appear behind him, the Qing army, which was attacked by the enemy, could only piece together less than half of the troops to meet the enemy.

Before the time came, more than 500 Qing army vests roared towards the Zheng army and sailors who had been waiting in formation. The Zheng army immediately launched artillery fire, but due to the fast horses of the Qing army, the Zheng army's artillery bombardment effect was not very good. Seeing that the Qing army had broken through the limit of eighty paces and rushed straight forward, the officers of the Zheng army's infantry team did not have time to order a salvo, and dozens of fire dragons eliminated in the 6th division of the Zheng army were shot together under Tian's arrangement.

At this moment, the Qing army was about to shoot a round of bows and arrows and dismounted and rushed into the Zheng army's formation, when they suddenly encountered the baptism of gunpowder arrows flying in all directions, and immediately caused chaos - although the gunpowder arrows shot by the Zheng army may not be able to penetrate the cotton armor on the men and horses, but the violent sound and light effect still frightened the Qing army's mounts - taking advantage of the confusion of the Qing army's shape, the Zheng army first used a loop to line up guns, and then used a gun formation to decisively assault. The Qing army, which lost its impact, was first hit by the projectiles that split their heads and covered their faces, and then they encountered seemingly endless bullet assassinations, and they were knocked unconscious at once.

Although a few brave soldiers of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai still rushed into the gun array to kill and wound the sporadic Zheng officers and soldiers, more Qing troops either died in the first battle or fled to the rear in despair, and were knocked to the ground one by one by Zheng shooters in the stunned eyes of the spectators who stayed at their own artillery forts.

At this time, the Qing court set up in the Xiongyue area, the deputy capital of Xiongyue, Wu Deng, had already been reported, and immediately dispatched the Qing army from Gaiping, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Lushun, Fengcheng, Xiuyan and other places to come to the rescue. In view of the arrival of the Qing army one after another, the Zheng army did not take advantage of the situation to attack Jinzhou City, but only destroyed the coastal defense fortification, removed the shore fire artillery and ammunition and materials, and left.

For the sudden departure of the Zheng army, the unknown Wu Deng'er did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, but just as the Qing army in Xiongyue was on full alert for the comeback of the Zheng army, the Northern Fleet crossed Niuzhuang and rushed to Jinzhou, and once captured the county seat of Suizhong, blocking the connection between the northeast and Beijing. The deputy capital of Jinzhou, who had just woken up from a dream, reported to the Liaodong general Qiuketuo at this time, but the Xuanketuo, who was born in the clan, had nothing to do about it, so he could only order the eight banners stationed in Liaodong to immediately assemble in Niuzhuang and Jinchuan Mansion (Jinzhou). However, due to the snowfall and other reasons shortly afterward, the Qing army was unable to recover Suizhong immediately for a while, so that the news inside and outside the customs was interrupted for more than a month.

Kangxi, who received the news of the interruption of Yuguan's customs declaration, was very angry, and he immediately ordered Yuguan to attack Jinzhou. At the same time, Xuanketuo, who knew that the big thing was not good, used the excuse that Jilin could not use troops in winter, and urgently transferred back 100,000 troops to help Jilin, and then personally supervised the Eight Banners Brigade to attack Jinchuan Mansion in the wind and snow. In view of the fact that the Bohai Bay had frozen and the Qing army was menacing again, Tian had to drive the people in the city to take the initiative to evacuate Suizhong, so in the end, what was actually recovered was an empty city

Zheng Jun's actions reminded Kangxi that in order to prevent Zheng Jun from once again playing the trick of using the main force to climb 6, the Qing court had to garrison more troops on the front line in Tianjin, so that not only the food supply in the Gyeonggi area became more and more tight, but more importantly, the Qing court, which was overstretched in terms of troops, had to use the method of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall to withdraw a large part of the troops dealing with Jungger to stay in Gyeonggi, so that the Qing court was forced to implement a policy of shrinking defense on the northern front in the case of confrontation on the southern front!
