By this point in the Jiangnan Campaign, the contradictions between the Manchu Qing court and the Ming army had intensified to the top.

Liu Liangzuo dared to let Yan Yingyuan enter the camp and let him go, which was already self-defeating.

Zhai Zhe deliberately revealed this news to Manren, he didn't know how Bolo would deal with this matter, but at least there was a glimmer of hope to make Liu Liangzuo desperate.

The Ming army under the city of Nanjing stepped up the siege of the city, and Zheng Zhilong was about to arrive, on the one hand, he was pretending, but what Zhai Zhe really wanted was to let Bo Luo withdraw from Nanjing. Today is the last chance, which is a relief for the Qing court and for himself. He needs to reorganize his troops and horses, settle Jiangnan, and prepare to train an army that can fight with the Manchurian field, instead of relying only on defending the city and sneak attacks to win by luck like now.

The city defense of Nanjing is strong, and the grain and grass reserves in the city are sufficient, and if these soldiers and horses are only besieged for half a year, they may not be able to capture it as they wish. The morale of the newly recruited rebels came and went quickly, and once they suffered heavy casualties under the city of Nanjing, this momentum was gone, and the gains and losses in Jiangnan were unpredictable.

Moreover, Zhai Zhe had no confidence in Zheng Zhilong, and from the fact that he wanted the official position of governor of Fujian and Guangdong, it was clear that this person was not interested in Nei 6. Once the situation turns into a stalemate, or worsens, it is very likely that Zheng's sailors will return to Fujian again.

You can be lucky once on the battlefield, but if you always count on the blessing of the god of luck in war, you will eventually taste the bitter fruit once.

In the middle of the night, Zhai Zhe approved a silk robe and stood more than ten miles away overlooking Nanjing City.

He did not bring generals, only his own soldiers followed.

"Nanjing City!" He looked at the fortified fortified city dozens of miles away. In his memory, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, no one could successfully go on the Northern Expedition from the south to the north, and he was trying to become the second person. The affluence of the south of the Yangtze River is satisfying, and the banks of the Qinhuai River have consumed the vigor of many literati, what should he do to arouse the ambition of the Han people.

He wandered alone, trying to think.

Night.

He did not return to the barracks and was still waiting.

Zheng's sailors received supplies at Wusongkou today, arriving in Nanjing one day later than expected. Zheng Zhilong was grinding and chirping, and Zhai Zhe knew that he and Hong Chengchou had been secretly in contact. He wasn't sure if the Zheng clan had sent information into Nanjing City, but as long as Zheng Zhilong wanted to, he would definitely be able to find a way, just like he could have someone report Liu Liangzuo in the city. Wang Zhiren's sailors strictly guarded against the Qing troops crossing the river on Jingjiang Island and Yangzhong Island.

If Bolo doesn't leave the city tonight, I don't know how many days the war in Jiangnan will last.

The night was deeper, and the autumn dew gradually calmed all Zhai Zhe's anxiety.

No matter what the outcome is, he can only bear it, because his strength is not strong enough to dominate the battlefield. Now that he has a fertile ground to thrive, he will be able to nurture a towering tree that can thrive if he is given time.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, and a knight was startled by Fang Jin, who suddenly appeared in the darkness, dismounted and said, "Fang Qianhu! ”

"What's the matter?

"There is an emergency military situation!"

Zhai Zhe heard the conversation between the two, but he kept standing still, he knew what the news was, but he was not excited or in a hurry, he was just looking up at the complicated stars in the night sky.

"Report, the Qing army went out of the north city gate and went to the Yangtze River.

"Order Zuo Ruo, Feng Qin and Che Feng to pursue." His voice was calm and unwavering, and he said the answer that he had memorized for a long time.

Outside the north gate of Nanjing, tens of thousands of soldiers carried scattered torches out of the city.

Liu Liangzuo traveled with the Jurchen battalion, and his soldiers and horses were left last. After Bolo disposed of him today, he didn't dare to stay in the city for another day. Zhang Tianlu led the sailors of Wuhu and Chizhou down the river and docked at Jiangpu Port on the opposite bank. The Qing captives in Nanjing City were connected with Azig in the north of the Yangtze River, and thousands of boats of all sizes had been prepared on the other side of the Yangtze River, and when the fire on the river bank was rising, they would immediately cross the river.

There was a sound of fighting under the thin starlight, and the Qing captives retreated to the river bank after Li Chengdong and Liu Liangzuo surrendered their troops.

Zhai Zhe listened for a moment and returned to the camp.

The whole camp was noisy, the reaction of the rebels was not as fast as the regular soldiers, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments were still in line, and such soldiers and horses could only scare and scare the Qing soldiers, and they could only fight when defending the city.

The bloody battle by the river continued until early in the morning, when the Jurchens boarded the ship and left, leaving Liu Liangzuo's soldiers and horses last.

When the sky was bright, the troops who blocked the attack saw the Jurchens pulling their sails away, so they panicked and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.

At that time, the gate of Nanjing was wide open, and the gentry in the city cut off their braids and went to Zhai Zhe's barracks to ask for surrender. Some people were taken away by Hong Chengchou, and these people were not qualified to be taken away, but were exempted from the pain of leaving their homeland

The rebels went to the north bank of the river to clean up the battlefield, but Zhai Zhe was not in a hurry to enter the city.

Waiting until Shen Shi, Zheng's sailors appeared in the middle of the river, and Zheng Zhilong and Wang Zhiren went ashore at the same time and went to the camp outside the city to meet Zhai Zhe.

The two have known each other for a long time, but this is the first time they have met. Zhai Zhe is a head taller than Zheng Zhilong, and he looks much younger than Zheng Zhilong. One is a radiant old man, the other is a mighty young general, and in fact they are two old foxes.

Zheng Zhilong did his best this time, followed by his henchman general Shi Fu, his brother Zheng Cai and his son Zheng Sen. Lieutenant General Zhai Zhejun is also on the list.

"General Zhai!"

"Marquis Zheng!"

The two are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and the affectionate Cheng Dù almost got a hug.

"Master Hou is here to scare away the Qing soldiers in Nanjing!"

"I'm ashamed to say that I was late with my army, and I couldn't catch up with the battle with Dongyu."

"It doesn't matter, on the day of the Northern Expedition, Lord Hou will definitely let the Qing captives flee."

Zhai Zhe smiled brightly, like a girl without scheming, so that Zheng Zhilong couldn't figure out what kind of person he was for a while.

"Please enter the city!"

"I haven't made an inch, how dare I be glorified, General Zhai first!"

Both of them were resigning, and finally decided that Zuo Ruo and Zheng Cai would each lead a pair of soldiers and horses and include them in the city to recover Nanjing.

This is a favor that Zhai Zhe sold to Zheng Zhilong, at least within this year, he needs the cooperation of Zheng's sailors to defend the Yangtze River, and be able to go up the Shuojiang River to recover Wuhu, Chizhou and Anqing. Zheng Zhilong is not interested in these places, but Zhai Zhe needs them.

The city of Nanjing was dilapidated and deserted, and no people took to the streets to welcome the return of the Ming army. The squire in the capital of the Ming Dynasty only cared about himself a few months ago, and there was no change after a few months.

When they left, they looted all the gold and silver treasures in the city, and many people were hiding in their homes and grieving.

Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong each sent 5,000 soldiers and horses into the city to put up a list of people, which was a tacit balance.

All parts of Jiangnan can be owned by Zhai Zhe, but Nanjing is different, this is preparing for the return of the Tang Dynasty. Zheng and Zhai Zhe have always respected each other from the beginning, because they both want something from each other, and they have common resistance.

Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong sat at the same table and jointly confirmed the agreement reached by Liu Suifeng in Fuzhou Mansion more than half a month ago.

"Fujian and Guangdong belong to the Zheng family."

"Nanzhili and Zhejiang belong to the Zhai clan."

Except, of course, Nanjing.
