Dolgon's departure south was unexpectedly good news.

The regent of the Qing Dynasty and the regent of the Ming Dynasty met again. Unlike last time, the previous time it was Dolgon who took the initiative to go south, and this time he was completely forced out.

Outside the city of Huai'an.

Two scattered detachments of cavalry came from the fertile fields to the west, whirling outside the Ming artillery array, both leaving and not approaching. Looking at the skillful skill of the cavalry in controlling the horses, you know that it is the Mongols.

Yuan Qizhou pointed there with an axe and scolded: "If there is a seed, come and breed" Unfortunately, the Mongols could not hear his roar clearly, and even if they could hear it clearly, they could not understand his Jiangnan dialect.

The Hongyi artillery of the Ming army never stopped roaring, and there was no Ming army besieging the city under Huai'an.

Since the Ming army was defeated by the Qing cavalry in the siege of the city the day before yesterday and returned, Zhai Zhe completely returned the military command under Huai'an City to Feng Qin.

He basically completed the expected strategic layout, but he did not command a specific battle for a long time. The regent of the Ming Dynasty can no longer lead his own guards into battle to charge as he did in previous years, specifically when it comes to the coordination of infantry and cavalry, the layout of the battle line of bird soldiers and artillery, he is not half a little bit behind.

After Feng Qin took over the battle, he ordered the soldiers to rest in the camp for three days. Of course, the artillery of the Ming army did not stop roaring during these three days.

Zilharang fought like this, and Dolgon was speechless when he arrived in Huai'an. Without rebuking Zilharan too much, he immediately ordered two cavalry out of the city.

The cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia cruised outside the artillery positions of the Ming army, and chose the opportunity to harass the Ming army with cavalry shooting, but they were never allowed to engage the Ming army infantry in short combat. Bolo led the cavalry with the yellow flag to advance between the Ming army's camp and the canal, in an attempt to block the Ming army's supply line from Gaoyou Prefecture to Huai'an.

After handing over the affairs, Zhai Zhe spent most of his time hiding in the camp, and having him in charge here was also to put pressure on Dolgon.

Just after the third day, Chen Huwei led 5,000 sailors to enter the Huai River by sea. After the Qing soldiers suffered a small loss, Dolgon ordered the artillery to set up batteries on the river bank to block them. The rivalry between the Ming and Qing courts in Huaiyang has become white-hot.

After Chen Huwei settled the sailor camp, he went ashore to meet the regent.

He is a little blesser than a few years ago, his small belly is shy, but his fierce image has not changed. Bao Guang led him to the Chinese army. Feng Qin and the others were commanding the siege battle after the rest, and there was no general from the Huai'an base camp to receive him.

In July, walking in the sun for half an hour was hotter than holding the stove in the house in winter.

Zhai Zhe leaned against the south gate of the largest main tent to enjoy the coolness, he held a banana fan in his hand and shook it, where did he seem to be directing a big war related to the fortunes of the country, but like an idle official.

Chen Huwei saw it from afar, and quickly crossed Bao Guang and ran towards the big tent, Fang Jin, who was guarding Zhai Zhe's side, saw his coming, stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to stop it, when he saw Chen Huwei kneeling and knocking: "See the prince"

Zhai Zhe put down the pu fan, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Chen Huwei, you are blessed."

Chen Huwei knelt on the ground and moved forward a few steps closer: "Although the last general is a little fat, he can still follow the prince with a knife to kill the enemy" He grinned with white teeth, looking a little calm.

"Do you still dare to draw your sword and face the Qing captives like you did back then?"

"Why don't you dare" Chen Huwei raised his eyebrows, "The last general has been rusty all over Ning Shao for the past two years, and he has been waiting for the call of the prince." ”

"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that attacking the Huai River is not as good as attacking the Beijing Division......"

"Chen Huwei" Zhai Zhe shouted.

Chen Huwei's words came to an abrupt end.

Zhai Zhe's voice softened again: "You are guarding the Huai River, as long as you can cut off the waterway of the Huai River, even if you have made a great contribution." ”

"Obey," Chen Huwei replied.

In recent years, Chen Huwei has been called the anti-Japanese in eastern Zhejiang, which is actually to prevent Zheng Zhilong. According to the submission sent by the Maritime Department and the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang, there were nearly 100 large and small naval battles on the route from Zhejiang to the Japanese Kingdom, sometimes a dozen pirate ships with Fujian and Cantonese accents. When Chen Huwei first arrived in eastern Zhejiang, he often went into battle in person, pursued thousands of miles, and once chased to the sea near Fuzhou and defeated a group of pirates.

Zhai Zhe knew in his heart that Zheng Zhilong's final surrender was not only due to Ma Shiying. Without Chen Huwei's bravery, how could Zheng's sailors bow their heads.

Zhai Zhe's eyes swirled on Chen Huwei's face, Chen Huwei grinned at the regent, not afraid or weak-hearted, just like the bandits who followed Zhai Zhe from the water gate of Hangzhou into the bloody battle in the city.

"Well, when this battle is over, I will give you another chance to remember your merits" Zhai Zhe couldn't bear it.

God only knows how many maritime merchants Chen Huwei has eaten in Zhejiang over the years. Which maritime merchant dares not to give Chen Zongbing a heavy gift? The people who died in the waves of the sea could not send back evidence, but the notoriety of "Chen Yanwang" passed on by maritime merchants was by no means groundless.

Zhai Zhe pointed at Chen Huwei with a pu fan, and said word by word: "Remember, I want you to block the Huai River near Huai'an, not to let the supplies enter the city, and not to let the soldiers and horses in the city retreat to Xuzhou."

"Don't worry, the prince" Chen Huwei patted his chest, "The military order handed over to the last general will never go on a business trip"

The sound of artillery and guns came suddenly from miles away like a torrential rain.

"General Feng is killing Tartars," he grinned excitedly, like a shark smelling blood.

Zhai Zhe said: "In five or six days, Shi Fu's sailors will go north by sea, and you clean up the nearby fishing boats and bandits, so as not to leak the news." “

Chen Huwei's smile was put away, "Shi ......, Shi Fu?" ”

Zhai Zhe's face sank like water.

"Not bad"

"Where is he going?" Chen Huwei's expression stiffened.

Zhai Zhe did not answer.

"Go back and get ready."

Fang Jin's muscular arm was slightly relaxed, and Chen Huwei easily reminded him of the hungry wolf on the grassland.

Chen Huwei got up and retired.

Chen Huwei's credit is big enough, and no one among the sailors can suppress him. If he is a law-abiding person who knows how to advance and retreat, Zhai Zhe doesn't mind ordering him to go north. If he hadn't caused so many things, he would have been promoted to general a long time ago.

But he is Chen Huwei, Chen Huwei, who has never changed his bandit style.

Shi Fu's huge fleet went north, and Meng Kang led 3,000 foot soldiers to accompany him.

The Ming court was completely empty in Jiangnan.

This is the battle that determines the fortunes of the country, and I believe that there are many people with undead hearts who hide in the shadows and rub their hands, but as long as the dust of the Northern Expedition is not settled, no one dares to jump out.

Gu San Mazi and Shi Lang were on the main ship of the vanguard fleet, and the other wooden ships were following them.

Although they prayed and fought for it, they were still in disbelief when the regent's secret order really reached Chongming Island. Since the departure of the sailor's warship, Shi Lang has never been stable on the warship, the young man is restless, and the cold air of the sharp knife is pressing.

Gu San Mazi is like a chattering old lady: "Shi Lang, this time I went north, there was no obstacle to the naval battle, but it was not just a naval battle" The chattering people are generally not ruthless enough, nor are they black enough.

Shi Lang said ruthlessly: "Uncle Gu, along the way, you have said it dozens of times, I, Shi Lang, will die in Dengzhou if I have to bear the trust of the regent."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the prince didn't hand over the military order to the north to Chen Huwei, it was really handed over to General Shi" Gu San Mazi risked his head and did not hide his thoughts. It was done, and he did not receive the blessing in vain. What is the specific inside story, he is not in the mood to explore it again.

Shi Lang's black face turned red: "Although Mr. Chen is brave, the last general is not bad, what Mr. Chen can do, the last general can also do"

After getting along for a few months, Gu San Mazi liked this young man a little.

Shi Lang has never forgotten his impulsive request for life when he met the regent half a month ago, he thought that the regent could hand over the Northern Expedition to the Shi family, and he had some credit for it.

"After the end of the Northern Expedition, the last general decided not to return to Fujian, and the last general will continue to attack Liaodong from the sea"

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Gu San Mazi sighed.

More than 100 naval warships departed from Chongming Island and sailed north along the ocean-going route, all the way calm. Five days later, when they arrived in Shandong waters, they did not see a single fishing boat or pirate along the way.

Shi Fu and Meng Kang were on the main ship of the Chinese army, which was convenient to discuss the battle plan after boarding the 6th.

The Ming army planned to take Dengzhou first, and then Jinan, and cut off the canal waterway at the right time.

As soon as it was getting dark, the wind suddenly picked up on the sea, and the big ship swayed with the waves. Fortunately, the ship was full of veteran sailors who had sailed far away, and Meng Kang's subordinates had also trained on the ship, so they did not feel too much discomfort.

Shi Fu was worried, and he stretched out his palm and placed it in the air, as if trying to grasp the writhing lines of the wind.

"It's going to rain tonight."

Meng Kang replied angrily: "Don't talk about rain, even hail can't be delayed, if we stay at sea for one more day, the risk will increase by one point." ”

Shi Fu retracted his hand and nodded silently.

Meng Kang meant that it was dangerous for the Qing captives to know their intentions. Shi Fujiu walked on the sea, knowing that the danger of the sea was unfathomable, tens of thousands of people were floating on the sea, don't accidentally give them all to the Sea Dragon King, that is called a loss of money.

Shi Fuchu fought in concert with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and had great respect for Meng Kang, and asked, "Are you close to Dengzhou Port now?" ”

Meng Kang said disdainfully: "You and I add up to nearly 20,000 people, and the Dengzhou garrison is only 1,000 people. ”

Shi Fu whispered a few words to the soldiers behind him, and ordered the soldiers to raise the flag on the high mast. If it's late at night, they exchange messages by signaling lights.

The sailors turned the sails, and the big ship increased its speed in the gale. The soldiers stood on both sides of the ship with their bird guns on their shoulders, silently watching the churning water.

The bump of the wooden boat suddenly became bigger, and Meng Kang had to hold the bow of the boat with both hands to maintain his balance.

Shi Fu shouted loudly: "Chief Meng, you can go to the cabin to rest, and when you dock, I will call you again."

The sea water never stopped surging, as if there was an unknown monster hidden underneath, Meng Kang looked at it for a moment, felt a little dizzy, and was not reckless, holding the rope into the cabin.

Entering the cabin, Meng Kang ordered his soldiers to take out their huge shields and small axes. The shield was newly made of stainless steel by a craftsman he was looking for in eastern Zhejiang, and it could block half of his body when placed in front of him.

"Dengzhou, I'm coming"
