Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were looking at him, and the "Ming" flag fluttered on the Qiantang River on the other side.

Yangzhou was lost, and Nanjing was lost. All kinds of rumors come in a variety of ways, and it is inconvenient to be true or false.

Zhai Zhe did not have the news of the blockade army, this kind of news cannot be blocked, it is better to know earlier than later, and the psychological impact should be eliminated as soon as possible.

For most of the month, Ning Shao's army Chen Bing did not advance an inch on the Qiantang River. Several generals in the army were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and only Zhai Zhe looked calm. After several generals who asked for war were reprimanded, they obediently retreated, and no one knew what he thought.

"Bang-bang-bang!"

In the middle of the month, the tide of the Qiantang River is magnificent, and the waves soar into the air, and the splashes fall and smash on the reef to raise layers of smoke. A column of warships left Guanhaiwei and had to stop when they arrived at the location of Lihai, and Zhang Cheng, a guerrilla of the sailors, was a native of Shaoxing and knew the Qiantang River and Zhejiang Sea well. If the warship wants to enter the Qiantang River, it is afraid that it will have to wait for five or six days before the tide recedes.

Three days ago, the Ningsheng General Military Office conveyed an order that Chen Huwei, the Taizhou Naval Division, arrived at Zhoushan Island, and the Ningshao Naval Division's guerrilla Zhang Cheng came to the waters of Xiaoshan to wait.

"It's good to come a few days earlier, my lord went to the Qiantang River at the end of last month, but he was blocked by Fang Guoan, the chief soldier of Zhejiang."

"I'm afraid that my lord didn't think about what to do, and if he attacked Hangzhou, he would become a rebellion of the imperial court, and if he didn't capture Hangzhou, he couldn't go north."

Zhang Cheng was talking with several familiar generals of the navy, and there were various opinions in the army. Zhang Cheng's sailor is a streamlined veteran of Lao Ning Shao's sailor, and he doesn't get along much with Zhai Zhe on weekdays, and he is particularly bold in his discussions.

This is the state of the various departments in the Ning Shao army. Zhai Zhe didn't give an order, and the others could only guess wildly.

The warship docked at Lihai, and Zhang Cheng went ashore to personally meet Zhai Zhe at the Xiaoshan barracks to state the military situation.

No one could have imagined that in the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhai Zhe was playing a casual game with Liu Suifeng. In the past year or so, Zhai Zhe's Go level has risen extremely fast, and Liu Suifeng has lost more than he won when he played against him.

Seeing that the black pieces in the chessboard were divided into pieces by white, Liu Suifeng had to retreat to a corner to survive.

"This game of chess is lost!" Liu Suifeng looked helpless and prepared to throw.

"Wait!" Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand to stop him.

"This chess has not yet reached the end of the game, and if it is not the end, how can you give up lightly."

Liu Suifeng was a little embarrassed, and said: "The chess strength of adults, I am clear, the start is excellent, if I can't flip the mid-game struggle, no matter how long the support of the later chess games is, it is inevitable that I will lose." ”

Zhai Zhe stared at the chessboard for a long time, and suddenly said, "What if you and I change chess?" ”

Liu Suifeng's face showed displeasure, Zhai Zhe's statement was insulting his chess skills.

Zhai Zhe said unintentionally, seeing Liu Suifeng's face, he knew that he was too much, threw down the white zi in his hand, and said with a smile: "You are not as good as me at the beginning, and I am not as good as you in fighting and calculating, which is a chess skill of equal strength." But there is one thing, I am better than you, I am more patient. I didn't know that in the middle of the game, you will have to fight for every inch of land, and in the end, you will lose a little advantage in the opening game, so you will lose more and win less. Now I only use a defensive position in the middle game, and when you rush to reverse the shape shì and make mistakes in the rash attack, the record is slightly better than before. ”

"Adults are smarter, but they are far inferior to others!"

Liu Suifeng's words are not entirely flattery.

Go is a thing that must be laid in the early years, and there is a saying that if you don't become a national player at the age of 20, you will have no hope for life. Zhai Zhe only started to learn Go seven years ago, the initial style of chess is aggressive, in recent years slowly learned to be mellow, offensive and defensive freely, although not to become everyone, in terms of leisure and pastime, is already a first-class player. He often plays against Jiangnan Shizi, and there are not many people who are better than Zhai Zhe in chess.

Zhai Zhe sighed, pointed to the chess game, and said, "Now that I'm in your situation, how can I give up easily!" ”

Only then did Liu Suifeng know that although others were playing against each other, his heart had already flown to the battlefields in Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places.

"All the generals want to capture Hangzhou? That's the stupidest thing to do! Zhai Zhe got up and took out the map of Jiangfang from the table behind him, spread it out, and said in detail: "After the loss of Yangzhou, Jiangfang is useless, and the only hope to hold Jiangnan is in Nanjing, but it is not up to me." At that time, the alliance of Lanyuan was because of a prime minister like Li Gang, and the Ming Dynasty was able to hold the capital after the Wara Rebellion, and it was also because of the crown prince Taibao like Yu Qian. ”

"The battlefield is nothing but a continuation of the court!" Zhai Zhe pressed his palm on Nanjing's city defense map.

Liu Suifeng's brain was like thunder, and Zhai Zhe's words were deafening, which actually made him feel empowered.

In the past few years, Zhai Zhe has become more familiar with the government and politics, which makes him feel that he is gradually suspicious.

"If the emperor and Ma Shiying can defend Nanjing, I will naturally be able to persuade Fang Guoan to follow the example of Zong Ze and the king of Qinqin. At that time, the Qing captured 100,000 troops to the city of Beijing, and it took a month or two for King Qin's soldiers and horses to arrive. But now......" Zhai Zhe spread his hands, "the emperor ran away first, and the courtiers who stayed behind had already wanted to surrender, what am I going to do there?" Will you be sold again like Lu Gong? ”

Speaking of this, Zhai Zheqing was a little excited, hehe laughed, and his voice was a little sour, "Gao Qiqian, who framed Lu Gong back then, is working as a prison soldier in Beijing after escaping from Beijing, Ma Shiying is currently at odds with the Donglin Party, what am I going to do there?" Will they let me into town? ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Liu Suifeng's gaze passed through Zhai Zhe's fingers, and the two words "Nanjing" written with a red pen were as bright as blood. Because it is a Beijing teacher, it is marked with a red pen.

"Who can be an ally of Ning Shao Military Town?" Zhai Zhe leaned over and moved the map with his finger, and said to himself: "The three towns of Jiangbei have been surrendered, so only Wuhu Huang Degong, Zhejiang Fang Guoan, Fujian Zheng Zhilong, Huguang and He Tengjiao, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, are left. ”

"If the adults attack Hangzhou, there will be no allies!" The willow responds with the wind.

So he never persuaded Zhai Zhe to attack Hangzhou, this is the government, if he is a thief, he doesn't have to have so many scruples, so he persuaded Zhai Zhe to enter Shaanxi.

"Nanjing, please surrender, such as Qian Qianyi and others in the city of Nanjing are very famous people in the Donglin Party, they have surrendered, the gentry from all over the country have found an example, my 40,000 soldiers and horses in Suzhou, Songjiang and other places are not alone in the depths, self-defeating."

Seeing that there are all cities, and his fingers surround the battlefield, Zhai Zhe gets rid of impatience, like a fish swimming in the water, he likes the battlefield, just like when he first entered the grassland. He has been preparing for several years, not to mention that taking down Hangzhou City is as easy as finding out what to do, and he is still a little sure, but not now.

"Unless the emperor is in the hands of an adult." Liu Suifeng grasped the key to it.

"I'm afraid this emperor won't be able to do it." Zhai Zhe stared at the islands along the coastline of Zhejiang and answered him casually.

"Another new king!?" Liu Suifeng's heart jumped, he didn't think Zhai Zhe thought so far.

Fang Jin's voice came from outside the tent, "My lord, Vice General Xiao has returned with his wife and son." ”

Zhai Zhe frowned as if he was thinking about something difficult, and it took him a long time to react, and he ordered through the tent door: "Order Vice General Xiao to enter the camp and wait, and Mrs. and Gongzi will go back to Ningbo directly." ”

After the order was conveyed here, Fang Jin came to tell again: "The sailor guerrilla Zhang Cheng asks to see him." ”

Zhai Zhe folded the map and said, "Order him to come in." ”

When Zhang Cheng entered the account, he saw the chessboard that was opened, and he was slightly surprised, he didn't expect his own adults to be so leisurely.

"Lord Qiqi, the river tide is turbulent, and the sailor ships can't move forward when they reach Lihai, so they can only wait for another four or five days before the tide recedes before entering the Qiantang River."

"Hmm!"

"The 20,000 Fujian sailors withdrew from the Yangtze River estuary and arrived at the Haining Health Station the day before yesterday, but they were also blocked by the river tide."

"The Fujian sailor is here, you don't have to come, lead the troops back to Guanhaiwei and defend Zhoushan."

Zhang Cheng was even more surprised, but he didn't dare to ask more, and replied: "Obey!" "Could it be that Ning Shao's army is no longer in the Qiantang River, or is it a three-day detour to Cong Fuyang?

In the following days, Zhai Zhe issued several orders, ordering Zuo Ruo to lead 9,000 infantry soldiers of his headquarters to Zhoushan Island by sea ship with great fanfare, Zhang Mingzhen led 5,000 soldiers and horses of his headquarters to return to Shipu, and led 12,000 infantry to camp at the foot of Tongjun Mountain in eastern Zhejiang in the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, leaving only 15,000 Chinese troops in front of the Qiantang River.

On the way to the march, Feng Qin met the cavalry of Che Feng and drove back with eight carriages and treasures, and ordered him to return to the camp of the Chinese army in Xiaoshan.

Now no one knows what Zhai Zhe wants to do, except for himself.

After meeting Zhai Zhe, Che Feng told in detail what he had seen and heard along the way, and then reported the detailed amount of silver and wealth.

Zhai Zhe took out two thousand taels of silver to reward the light horse, and the rest of the wealth was handed over to Zong Mao for accounting.

On the 22nd, Ma Shiying led a thousand remnants of the army to escort the Empress Dowager Zou, that is, Huang Daozhou and other ministers to Hangzhou, Liu Suifeng was ordered to visit Hangzhou, and Ma Shiying ordered Ning Shaojun to garrison the Qiantang River and wait for orders. Until this moment, the news from all over the south of the Yangtze River was clear and reached Zhai Zhe.

When the Qing soldiers arrived at the city of Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang fled to the barracks of Huang Degong in Wuhu, and Ma Shiying came to Hangzhou through Guangde Mansion and lost the capital to Zhao Zhilong, a garrison who was ready to communicate with the Qing soldiers early.

After the death of Gao Jie, Huang Degong's troops were the most prosperous, and he defeated Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying's hope of saving one, hoping that Huang Degong would defeat the Qing soldiers and turn the tide of the war. For Zhai Zhe, he inevitably has a hint of precaution.

Zhai Zhe didn't see that he was in a hurry at all, if it weren't for Xiao Zhiyan, Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin who had come to life with him in the grassland to fight against the Qing Dynasty, if it weren't for Li Zhi'an who saw him desperately rescue Lu Xiangsheng, I don't know if anyone would secretly suspect that he was preparing to join the Qing army.

The 42,000 foot soldiers of Ningshao Military Town were stopped in front of the Qiantang River for a full month. In this month, almost all of Jiangnan was under the rule of the Qing army, and the gentry of various prefectures, cities, counties and counties offered countless surrenders.

Liu Suifeng stayed in Hangzhou and interacted with Ma Shiying, Fang Guoan, and Zhang Bingzhen as representatives of Ningshao Town.

As the only person who understands Zhai Zhe's intentions, he is the most suitable person.
