After the annexation of the Zhoushan team, the newly established Zhoushan detachment quickly cleared the influence of Fang Xipeng's old department, and a number of generals were transferred to Jinlan, Xiboni, Seguipo, Ezo and other northern and southern overseas governors, leaving only a very small number of old men and horses who had long been with Zheng Jun. In addition to eliminating the unstable elements, the newly established Daqushan Governorate also focused on strengthening the construction of the Daodou Boat Yard, Wanliang, and Shizimen Forts, and when the construction of the new base gradually became regular, the once-dormant Zhoushan Squadron was once again active in the Eastern Ocean, the Gray Turtle Ocean, and the Putuo Ocean.biquge.info

"Idiot, I'm only finding out now, it's too late." Listening to the increasingly dense sound of golden drums in the Qing army's water village, Yan Daohe, who was standing on the [Lujiang], showed a look of disdain, and then ordered in a cold tone. "Raise the signal flag and order the [Huayu] and [Tamsui River] to shell freely"

On May 22, the 42nd year of Yongli, the gunboats of the Zheng army that came from the Zhangzi Shuiyang and Hengshuiyang appeared outside the Dinghai Port after bypassing the West Crab Island and Dapan Island, and after another half an hour, the Qing army's Dinghai Sea Village completely turned into a sea of fire. During this period, the few remaining warships in Dinghai Town tried to break out of the water village and get close to the Zheng gunboats, but they were destroyed and repelled one after another in the not very dense artillery fire of the Zheng army. Seeing that the only means of counterattack could not be effective, the remnants of more than 600 Qing troops abandoned the village and fled, and fled into the Changguo Guarding Thousand Households City (Note: Changguo County, Dinghai County) left over from the Ming Dynasty to wait for help.

"Inform Yin to disembark." Yan Daoji's eyes followed the figure of the Qing army who lost his armor, and ordered at the same time in his mouth, the Yin commander he was talking about was Yin Long, who had served as a teacher in the boy boy camp and the battalion officer of the Kunlun second standard spear battalion belonging to the second town of the boy scout, in a sense, this Yin commander was still one of Yan Daoji's teachers, but obviously Yan Daoji did not have much respect for him. "Sue him, the Qing army has fled into Changguo City, and it's up to him next."

The second regiment of the Youlongxiang Division was strengthened to the Zhoushan line after the formation of the Zhoushan detachment, and its main purpose was to follow the ideas of Fang Xipeng and Zhou Yunlong for raiding and harassing operations in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.

However, as a standard configuration of the regular army, Yin Longbu only has a gun sentry counting three three-inch guns and six two-inch and a half guns, such firepower is considerable in the field combat of a thousand people, but it is a little difficult to deal with the Qianhu City made of dense rammed earth and bricks - it must be known that the Changguo City built in the Ming Dynasty was built on the basis of the Changguo County in the Song Dynasty, which is small and small, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was precisely because he had understood the characteristics of Changguo City in advance that Yin Long, who was mentally prepared, ordered before his feet really set foot on Zhoushan Island: "Inform Liang Yijian (recommended by book friend Manson 2003) to lead the fifth outpost and the artillery army to control the area of the old Sangu Village, and wait for the regimental commander, the middle base, and the baggage two outposts to be stationed." ”

The young regiment joined the army and turned away, Yin Long thought for a while, and then issued another order: "The first sentinel controls the Fengfu Gate (East Gate), the second sentinel controls the Wenming Gate (South Gate), the third sentinel controls the Taihe Gate (West Gate), and the fourth sentinel controls the Yong'an Gate (North Gate), and the sentinels must not let the enemy in the city wander through the townships."

In fact, because the advance speed of the Zheng army was not very fast, in fact, some of the clever Qing troops did not flee into the city of Changguo with the brigade, but took advantage of the convenience of the Zheng army's naval forces to control the whole island and the strength of the naval division to control the vast sea areas such as Hengshuiyang, Zhangzi Shuiyang, Qitouyang, Jintang Waterway, and Luotou Waterway, or fled to the mainland by small boat or only by bamboo rafts and wooden planks. Due to the ban on the sea, the evacuation of the people, the emptiness and helplessness in the city, and the dilemma of having no food and grass inside and heavy troops outside.

It is true that the Qing army was short of food, but the Zheng army, which needed to transport grain through Guò Dongning, was also faced with the dilemma of not being able to last, so on the second day after the landing, Yin Long's troops launched a tentative attack. However, although the two-and-a-half-inch cannon fired directly penetrated the iron-clad city gate, it could not prevent the Qing army from refilling it with bricks and stones, and the attack under the cover of artillery fire was met with stubborn resistance from the Qing army's bird guns and bows and arrows, and had to abandon halfway after dropping a few corpses.

"Now I can only compare who has more food around them." Hearing Yin Long's briefing, Yan Daoji's face was very bad, but he finally suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and discussed with Yin Long. "Give me the base posts, and I'll take them to the shore to grab some food and come back"

Obedient and listening, Yin Long of course understood the subtext of the other party's unfinished meaning, so he decided: "I'll give you the fifth whistle too!" ”

Therefore, Yan Dao and his troops carrying the two sentinels sailors landed in the north of Ninghai from Xiangshan Port to Huangdun Port at Qiaotou Hu, and fired anti-aircraft artillery all the way to make a posture of directly attacking Ninghai County, but after Suyan Gonghe went south a section of the river, he suddenly turned to Meilin in the northwest, captured this almost undefended town in one fell swoop, plundered the grain store and the grain stored by large households of nearly 100 stones, and the population was nearly 100 men and women. By the time the Ninghai defenders arrived in a hurry, Zheng Jun had already returned to the sea with the harvest.

In fact, as early as 23 May, Qingning Shaotai Dao asked for help from the Governor of Hangzhou and the Governor of Shaoxing. However, the Zhejiang Navy Division was not able to recover immediately after the fall of the attack on Taiwan, and the remnants of the division were repeatedly attacked by the Zheng army, and most of the units that were fortunately preserved were also dilapidated, so they had no strength to rescue the besieged Dinghai Town.

On 26 May, Admiral of the Zhejiang Army Division, who arrived in Ningbo with 5,000 reinforcements, commanded his troops into Zhenhai, but the Qing army, who were looking forward to the sea, could not find a boat to carry them and were forced to stay in Zhenhai and watch the town of Dinghai fall in the ordeal.

Although the remnants of Dinghai Town in Changguo City also tried to break out of the siege several times, although the Zheng army was unable to attack the city, it was able to block the escape route of the Qing army with a new type of firecracker. Although the Qing army saved a lot of rations, by 29 May, the Qing army in Changguo City, which had only more than 400 men left, still fell into a situation of running out of food and waiting to be fed.

"A few adults, the brothers below have already begun to eat the carrion of the dead robes, and if they don't think of a way out, even if Zheng Jun doesn't attack the city, we will all starve to death here." At this point, the loyalty of the Qing soldiers trapped in the city of Changguo to the Qing court has disappeared. "Or the adults will be kind enough to give the little rice that they have hidden to the brothers, and this may last for two more days."

"It's the other way around, you bald man, what do you want to do?" When he heard that he was going to move his own cheese, the general of the right battalion immediately jumped up. "If you want to throw yourself into the sea, Lao Tzu will fulfill you now, come here, take off his crown, pull him out and behead the public." The general howled for a long time, but he didn't see the soldiers rushing as he wished, and he immediately panicked. "What about people? Someone's coming! ”

"Don't scream, don't come, don't come." The general manager of the bandit Chen Bald (recommended by the book friend fengjluo) looked at the general who was fierce inside and outside, smiled coldly, and then pushed the door, only to see that the soldiers outside the house were all soldiers with knives and guns, looking at everyone in the house with red eyes. "We just want to live, and we ask the adults to call the shots."

The green camp generals in the house looked at each other, and after a while, Jiang Changwen (recommended by book friend manson2003) stood up, walked to Chen Mi's side, turned his head and said to his peers who were still sitting there: "I know a few people who take care of their families in Shaohang, I am different, my mouth is stealing people behind my back, don't want such a family." ”

"It's better to die than to live." Someone took the lead, and then someone naturally followed suit, no, a general here also stood up. "The court can't take care of you and me, I have to find a way to do it myself, and my family can't take care of it at this time."

"The only death through the ages is difficult." Another Toji stepped forward. "I don't want to die."

Watching his peers slowly walk to their opposites, Dinghai Town's highest-ranking lieutenant sat on the ground like a deflated pig's urine bubble, and after a long time, he untied his saber and threw it on the ground: "Descend, surrender, I'm afraid that Zheng Jun's side will not stop."

"I'll go out of the city to negotiate with Zheng Jun." Chen Mi interrupted the adjutant general's words. "If I can't come back before the time, the big guy will rush out and fight for the last one." The hundreds of Qing soldiers around him looked at Chen Mi who volunteered silently, and heard Chen Mi sweep the officials in front of him who were greedy for life and afraid of death with a torch-like gaze. "But before that, hand over the rest of the rice so that the big guys can have their last meal"

On the first day of the sixth month, the Zhoushan Qing army, which had been without food for four days, was forced to surrender, and was immediately driven south to attack the Changshi Water Division battalion. When these new annexes who didn't even change their clothes appeared in front of the Changshi Qing army, the shock caused can be imagined.

On the third day of the sixth month, Zheng Jun uprooted the Changshi Water Division Battalion. Affected by this series of failures, in order not to cause more losses, Shi Lin, the governor of Zhejiang Province, ordered all towns of the original water division to abandon the sea and land, and once again reaffirmed the strict implementation of the order to close the sea and relocate the border.

However, Zhejiang is known as the saying that there are eight mountains, one water and one field, and this very small number of plains are mostly in the coastal areas, and the implementation of the relocation order not only caused Zhejiang to lose nearly 30% of its taxes, but also caused various contradictions such as turmoil in people's hearts, soaring prices, and conflicts between the relocated people and the people in the receiving areas over land and water.

Under these circumstances, many people even took the initiative to flee to the island to wait for Zheng Jun's containment. Moreover, what made Zhejiang Province even more unbearable was that the Zheng army had to advance inch by inch, and continuously drove the new annexed army to plunder Haiyan, Zhapu, Pinghu, Jinshan, Chuansha, Cicheng, and Shangyu
