The recovery of Jiasong and the recollection of Fuxing in Fujian on 28 August made the Qing court breathe a sigh of relief, and the troops of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, which were about to enter Zhejiang, were transferred back to western Jiangxi, together with the green camps of Hubei and Hunan provinces, to besiege the anti-Qing rebels in western Jiangxi. However, the Qing court was worried about the comeback of the Zheng army, so it did not remove the military strength of the Jiasong line, so that southern Jiangsu was still not worried, but the defense of eastern and southern Zhejiang was weakened to a dangerous stage.biquge.info

On 30 August, after a slight delay, the rested Zheng army decisively moved south, and the Zhoushan detachment first destroyed the fort set up by the Qing army in Zhaobaoshan, and then the Zheng army of four divisions landed and conquered Zhenhai, Cixi, and Yuyao and surrounded Ningbo.

"Lu Renyu (recommended by book friend ar12) You are so bold, you dare to come back alive!" Li Duo, the prefect of Shaoxing, looked at the ragged appearance of the former Yuyao Zhixian (note: Yuyao belonged to Shaoxing rather than Ningbo during the Ming and Qing dynasties) who knelt under the hall, and instead of sympathy, his face was disgusted. "Come on, escort this guy who abandoned his post and fled to the provincial capital, and wait for his fate!"

"My lord, the lower officials have been wronged." Seeing the official who was about to pounce and arrest him, the old man of the former county magistrate shouted loudly. "The lower official didn't abandon his post and run away, the lower official didn't abandon his post and run away!"

"It's not that you abandoned your job and ran away, so how did you appear in Shaoxing?" Li Duo asked. "It should be martyred in the same city!"

Looking at the boss in front of him who was bent on putting himself to death, the resentment in Lu Renyu's heart was self-evident, but the knife handle was in the hands of others, so he couldn't help but respond with a low voice: "The sea is attacking the city, and the lower officials are supervising the battle in the city, but the gentry in the city, Zhuo Wenyuan (recommended by the book friend Baima Black Tan), led the family to pretend to defend the city, but turned against him, and the lower officials were accidentally captured for a while, and it is really not that the lower officials are unwilling to serve the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Hehe," Li Duo sneered. "It's a good one to be captured by the sea rebellion, I didn't expect Lord Lu to tell jokes like this, okay, it's really good, it turned out to be a betrayal of the lord and sought glory, and became a fellow party of the sea rebellion, what about the people, if you don't take this thief, when will you wait!"

"My lord, the lower officials are not rebellious!" Lu Renyu, who was pressed to the ground by the officer's annoiac hands, cried out in pain and aggrieved. "The reason why Hai Reverse put down the official and came back is because there is a message for the lower official to pass on, no," looking at Li Duo's cold gaze, Lu Renyu knew that the other party was convinced that he had betrayed the Qing court, and in order to save his head, he hurriedly explained. "It's not the persuasion that the adults think, yes, it's the sea that took away the dean of Shuangpu and asked the court to put his son back"

Hearing this, Li Duo's face turned pale, and then he made a gesture to disperse the officials, and the officials let go of their hands when they saw this, and the freed passer-by A couldn't stand the ups and downs of his mood, and suddenly sat down on the cold ground of the second hall of the government.

"Hai Reverse took away Huang Zongxi?" Li Duo walked up to Lu Renyu and leaned down, sweeping this seemingly humble former subordinate with a chilling gaze. "Still asking the imperial court to release Huang Baigu? It's wishful thinking! You should go back and sue the sea now, and don't have such sweet dreams! ”

"The people of Hai Rebellion said that as long as the imperial court releases Huang Baigu's family, they are willing to release the flag soldiers captured in the previous two attacks on Taiwan and this battle of Jiaxing." Lu Renyu said hesitantly, seeing Li Duo's face changed greatly, a trace of happiness suddenly appeared in his heart. "In addition, the sea rebel doesn't want us to answer, they also know that the adults have no right to answer, they just want the lower officials to tell the adults, and then the adults will report it step by step, and the lower officials don't have to reply."

Li Duo snorted coldly, he understood that his intention of trying to hide and eliminate the situation in the bud had been seen through by Lu Renyu, so he had to slow down his facial expression, and said to Lu Daxian Ling with a pleasant face: "So it seems that the official has wronged the elder brother, but I am afraid that the boss will still be held accountable for the loss of land, so the elder brother will go to wash up first and change his clothes, I am afraid that the news will be sent to the provincial capital by the elder brother himself."

Due to the large number of troops in eastern Zhejiang, and the troops in northern and southern Zhejiang could not be transferred for a while, only the rest of Dinghai Town, Zhenhai Division Battalion and Zhenhai Xiecheng Garrison in Ningbo City, and the Ningbo Xiecheng Garrison with a total strength of 1,300 people, were completely unable to stop the Zheng army's troops, so on the seventh day of the ninth month, that is, only five days after Zheng Jun's troops came to Ningbo, this important town in eastern Zhejiang fell into the hands of Zheng Jun. Immediately, Zheng Jun went down to Fenghua and entered Shangyu, and for the Qing court, after southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, eastern Zhejiang fell into a state of erosion.

At the beginning of the landing of the Zheng army, the Zhejiang Province side that received the report had speculated a lot about the intention of the Zheng army, some people thought that the Zheng army was still in northern Zhejiang, some people thought that the Zheng army was to follow the strategy of Wu Guo's three roads and was not afraid, and some people thought that the Zheng army's previous capture of northern Zhejiang was a bluff

All kinds of opinions were debated, so that the commander-in-chief Prince Jian Yabu also fell ill in the city of Hangzhou, and had no choice but to override public opinion, and personally led 30,000 Qing troops from northern Zhejiang to the south to reinforce Ningbo, and at the same time sent a telegram to Beijing asking the Qing army in Jiangsu to continue to stay in Songjiang in order to assist in the nearby defense of Jiaxing and other places.

However, it took time for the 30,000 Qing troops to return to Hangzhou from Jiaxing, and the waterway of the Qiantang River was blocked by the Zheng army, so the Qing army could only bypass the Fuchun River, and naturally the pace could not be fast, and the reinforcements of Wenzhou Town, Haimen Town, and Huangyan Town had to overcome the undulating coastal hills in southern Zhejiang and the rivers during the period, so the speed was also extremely slow.

On 14 September, the Qing army on the northern front regained Shangyu, and two days later regained Yuyao, just when the Qing generals below Shi Lin thought that this was another bloodless march to northern Zhejiang, the main force of the Zheng army, four divisions of about 11,000 combat soldiers, set up a formation at Zhangting, west of Cixi, to welcome the arrival of the Qing army.

Listening to the report of the Tanma, Shi Lin swept the military attaches in front of him, and asked humbly: "The sea rebellion has retreated step by step in northern Zhejiang, but now it is in the battle formation of Zhangting, and it seems that he wants to fight with the real swords and guns of the official army. ”

Chen Shikai, the commander of the Zhejiang Land Division, touched his flowing white beard and responded: "Controlling the army, the lower officials thought that the sea rebellion was just to see that there were few people in the headquarters, and now from the mouths of the fleeing gentry, it can be seen that the sea rebellion is carrying population and materials, and it is necessary to block the soldiers of the official army and continue to act." ”

Chen Shikai, who had the highest status, made a judgment, and the generals on the side also echoed him: "If the official army sits idly by and does not fight, once the population of Ningbo is moved, the sea will naturally retreat, but if this is the case, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the emperor to the imperial court." ”

When it comes to Kangxi, the corners of Shi Lin's mouth twitched slightly, he can be the governor of a province, he naturally has connections in Beijing, of course he knows, because of the great joy of recovering the south and north of Zhejiang and the great compassion of Zheng Jun's re-attack on Ningbo made Kangxi, who was in a hurry to spoil his concubine just a little better, return to the sickbed again, so if he can't take back Ningbo, there seems to be no suspense whether the seriously ill Kangxi will take him under the knife.

Although he understood what the consequences were, Shi Lin still had some doubts in his heart, if he couldn't solve it, he didn't dare to send troops to fight in the war: "The sea is not more than 10,000 people, how can you have such a big courage to dare to block three times the enemy?" Besides, the towns of Haimen and Huangyan are inevitably also sending reinforcements to the north, so isn't Hai Wei afraid that the back road will be lost during the confrontation with the official army? ”

"I'm afraid the Haimen towns on the southern line can't be counted on too much." Chen Shikai is a veteran and naturally has a lot of experience. "Not to mention the obstruction behind the mountains along the way, that is, the towns of Haimen and Wenzhou do not avoid danger and hinder the arrows, but in case the sea is as disturbed as Xinghua is between Wentai, I am afraid that the head and tail of the South Route Army will not be strong."

Chen Shikai himself did not expect to be able to say a prophecy, in fact, at the moment when he spoke, the Zheng army Fubo fleet sailed into the Oujiang River again, and shelled Yongjia City, at the same time, another group of Zheng gunboats also bombarded the water village of Haimen Town at the mouth of the Shujiang River, and the third regiment of the Hailongxiang Division also sent a number of sentry posts to land to make a large-scale offensive posture, forcing the two places to Hangzhou and Xiangjun to report to the front of the army respectively, although the Qing army of the three towns to aid Ning did not immediately turn around and return to help, but the speed of advancing to the Fenghua line inevitably slowed down.

"Hundreds of splint gunboats are rampant across the sea, and the sea frontier is shaken a little, and the whole line is warned." Shi Lin sighed. "The old general is right, if there are really police in Wenzhou and Taizhou, it is impossible to count on the Fujian side that has just been rejuvenated, and the Southern Route Army has only one way to turn back, so that the sea can concentrate on dealing with this army."

"As for the combat power of the sea reversal, Xia Guan knows a little bit about it." As a guest general, Yang Jie, the commander of the Jiangnan water and land forces, seemed to recall something. "When Zhu Jin committed Fujian, Xia Guan was the acting governor of the Fujian Lu Division, and he fought with him." In order to set off his skills, Yang Jie couldn't help but exaggerate Zheng Jun's strength. "The sea rebellion was extremely brave back then, and made good use of artillery, and Liu Guoxuan, the head of the rebellion, defeated the official army with artillery fire several times, although Liu Guoxuan has died of illness now, but now there are many sea rebellion firearms, and its combat power may not be worse than back then." Yang Jie was talking, and suddenly saw Chen Shikai's displeased eyes, and he suddenly smiled. "However, the strength of Zhejiang's soldiers is also famous in the world, and this army has a threefold advantage, and the sea will not be enough to strike."

Shi Lin didn't notice the eye contact between Yang Jie and Chen Shikai, so when he heard that Yang Jie, who had fought with Zheng Jun, thought that this battle could be fought, he put his mind at ease: "Since the sea is rebellious, the official army will give them a lesson, come and give an order to the whole army, tomorrow the fifth watch meal, the whole army should fight bravely to kill the enemy, if you can annihilate the sea rebellion in one fell swoop, this official will ask the court for credit, want to fight for a wife and son, and show his skills."
