In the temporary line of the governor of Liangjiang, although the master had not yet arrived, the members of the Soviet Province who were standing in the lobby still had a steady attitude of watching their eyes and noses, and did not dare to whisper at will. However, although there was no communication between them, the relaxed or solemn expressions on the faces of the people present could give a preliminary glimpse of their inner thoughts.

After a while, Ma Qi, the governor of Liangjiang, finally came out of the back hall and sat down in a steady seat amid the sound of seeing the great handsome.

When the noise subsided, Ma Qi cleared his throat and said: "The sea rebellion does not attack the city, but sets up a large camp in the Yucao River in the northeast of the city and the Baodai River in the southwest of the city, what is the reason?" ”

"Back to the words of the marshal," Yangzhou prefect E'an came out first. "Although Xiaguan is a literary journey, he still understands the situation under his rule, although Yangzhou chokes the canal, but the grain route of the sea is not the only one." The water network around Yangzhou is reaching, among which there is the Yunyan River (note: Tongyang Canal, the earliest called Hangou), and the northbound river in addition to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal also has the Kuanchang River connected to the Yunyan River, not to mention that even the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal itself is under the control of Zheng Junhong's single boat. "So the lower officials think that Hai Reverse may feel that Yangzhou is not a key point that cannot be bypassed."

"Shuai, the lower official thinks what Lord E's words are very true." Jiang Ningbu's political envoy 6 Ying, who was standing on E'an, hurriedly added. "The summer harvest is coming soon, and the sea will inevitably fight a decisive battle to completely base northern Jiangsu, because of the calculation of grain and the enemy." 6 paused. "Now there are only 10,000 soldiers led by Lord Oroshun in Taizhou City, and the city is narrow, in case the main force of the sea goes to it, in case Taizhou is lost, the passage for the sea to the north will be opened."

"Could it be that the 6 adults mean to let the big marshal go out of the city to fight?" Hua Shanjian, the former commander of the forward battalion, the deputy commander of the Han Army with a white flag, and the current governor of Jiangbei, Hua Shanjian, deliberately instigated Ma Qi to send troops to reinforce Taizhou, and was immediately in a hurry, so he jumped out in a hurry to accuse. "Not to mention that Hai Wei still has a large army outside the city, even if one of the wings is broken, but kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800, then our army will not be able to rescue the neighboring cities one by one, what's worse, in case Hai Wei is stimulated by this and attacks Yangzhou again, what will we do to defend the city?"

"What Hua Junmen said is very true," Zhang Rikang, the chief soldier of Guide Town, Henan, who reinforced Yangzhou as the governor of the expedition, echoed. "Nowadays, the red single boats of the sea rebellion haunt various waterways outside the city, especially on the canal, and most of our army are composed of soldiers from the north, and they are not familiar with water warfare, so even if our army defeats the sea rebellion, it may not be able to cross the canal and talk about western aid." Speaking of which, Zhang Rikang, who didn't want to turn the stubborn defense into the stubborn guard, proposed a construction that Ma Qi couldn't accept at all. "If you must go out of the city to fight, it is better to choose the target on the front line of the Baodai River, and defeat the Zheng army with one heir, or you can lead the army to the west, and after converging the Anqing camp and the various armies of Feng (Yang) Ying (Zhou) and Lu (Zhou), then counterattack back."

"Withdraw from Yangzhou? How this makes. "The old master of the Provisional Governor's Palace, the salt transportation of the two Huaidu, made Guo Qishan's head shake like a rattle." Although the position of Yangzhou is not important after the sea reverse uses the transportable salt river and the Kushiba River, the city defense of Yangzhou is strong, and it is still a thorn in the eye of the sea reversal, so there is no reason to give up. "Guo Qishan said this not because he was really so loyal and patriotic, but in fact, he was worried that the road to the west was far away, and if he was sniped by Zheng Jun, he would be beaten with chickens and eggs, so he pretended to be heroic." The purpose of our stubborn defense of Yangzhou is to contain the sea rebellion and prevent it from advancing northward, so as to gain time for the northern army to gather and move south, and for this reason, it is better to lead the sea rebellion to the city of Yangzhou. ”

"It is clear from the survey that there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the two large camps outside the city." Liang Youdao, the governor of the army and the chief soldier of Yanzhou Town, thought that the civil system was too simple to look at. "There are 20,000 in Yangzhou City, how can we capture the camp that Haiwei has built, besides, we used to defend the city, but now it is going to become an attack, how to solve this equipment, how can the cannon on the city be moved, you adults are afraid to take it for granted."

"This can't be, that can't be done, you don't necessarily have to watch the sea attack the neighbors and turn Yangzhou into an isolated city."

"That's it!" Mazi had to intervene, otherwise the confrontation between the two sides would turn into an attack on each other. "You all know what you mean, it's nothing more than one to respond to all changes with the same, and the other to take the initiative." Ma Qi naturally ignored Zhang Rikang's construction, and the reason was very simple, although he was the governor of Liangjiang and Anhui was also a jurisdiction, but Anhui now had a new governor, and he ran away on the one hand, and on the other hand, Kangxi would not be happy. "The two have their own merits, and the official will not comment on them one by one, but the emperor means to let me wait to be nailed in Yangzhou, which must not be mistaken." Hearing this, the faces of the faction advocating not sending troops were overjoyed, but Ma Qi's words took a turn for the worse. "However, to hold Yangzhou, it is not just a matter of not only closing the door without a fight, but also having to keep Taizhou, Gaoyou Prefecture and other places, so it is still necessary to fight a dozen and suppress the sea to make it difficult to advance northward." Mazzie ordered. "Huajunmen, you immediately dispatch troops and horses"

Although Yangzhou is rich in the world, Yangzhou City is actually not big, and Zheng Jun's camp on the first line of the Yucao River is in the east of Yangzhou Beiguan, the north of Dongguan River network area, its east by the ancient canal, north by the Yunyan River, west and Yudai River connected, just formed a natural protective position. However, although there was a barrier of the water system, the Zheng army did not relax the construction of the camp, on the contrary, before the main force of the Zheng army withdrew from the siege, 20,000 or 30,000 people dug soil and mud together, and built a relatively strong small city in a short period of time with locally available building materials and cement brought by Zheng army.

On May 24, the day after Zheng's army withdrew from the siege, the small city finally attracted a moment of inspection.

"Lord Hu, Lord Governor ordered your troops to be killed from Shugang immediately"

With Ma Qi's order, the Shugang garrison composed of the right battalion of Hebiao and the left battalion of Caobiao took the bird gunners as the vanguard and condescendingly killed from the northeast, while the main force of the southern line based on the newly built supervision and promotion also followed the attack from the direction of Beiguan and Dongguan, and killed the Zheng army with great momentum.

Although the momentum of the Qing army was strong, it had to stop in the face of the natural moat of the Zheng army. At this time, Zheng Jun's artillery fire took the opportunity to open fire. Because the Qing army could not disassemble the heavy Hongyi cannon arranged at the head of Yangzhou City, it had no power to fight back under the three-and-a-half-inch (12-pound) bombardment of the Zheng army, and from time to time saw the simple rafts overturned by the aftermath of the shells and the Qing army falling into the water like dumplings, fortunately, whether it was the Yudai River or the Yunyan River or even the Yucao River was not too wide, and the water flow was not urgent, although the Qing army was unbearable, but the losses were still within an acceptable range.

However, just when Ma Qi and other spectators thought that the Zheng army was not enough, the Qing army that came ashore was shot by the artillery of the Zheng army, which was more numerous, and when they saw the Zheng army camp shrouded in white gunpowder smoke shoot an astonishing number of fiery red flames, no one took any chance on the battle.

"My lord, there is nothing to be done anymore, so let's order the battalions to withdraw." Although he couldn't see the scene of the slaughter on the front line clearly, Hua Shan still repeated the old tune with some heart. "There are few soldiers in the city, so don't waste the battle."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to knock Zheng Juncheng head-on," 6 Wei, who was standing beside Ma Qi, was also a little frustrated, but he still refused to admit defeat after fighting with one force, and instead raised yì again. "To make Taiwan, it is better to take advantage of the sea rebellion to attract my attacking army, send a self-righteous attack to smuggle across the ancient canal, and copy it from the sea."

Seeing that Ma Qi was moved, Hua Shan immediately persuaded: "Dashuai, the red single boat of the sea reversal has not yet appeared, don't do it"

Ma Qi was terrified and immediately ordered: "Mingjin, withdraw the troops." ”

Thus the attack came to an end, and of course Mazi did not intend to shut himself up, adding: "Sending out flood sentry to attack and disturb every day, especially at night, must not stop the two sea camps"

With the Zheng army pointing to the west, Sizhou's Tianchang, Xuyi and Chuzhou's Lai'an and other places either expelled the green camp to join the Zheng army or simply the green camp shaved its head and changed its banner to revolt, so although the tiger army was not much, but for a time the momentum was still quite large, and the Qing army had to be forced to retreat in the city of Chuzhou.

Of course, the retreat of the Qing army in Anhui was destined to be only temporary, because it was still unclear whether the Zheng army on the first line of Wuhu and Chizhou in the south of the Yangtze River would go north, so Wang Weizhen, the governor of Anhui and the governor of Anhui, did not lightly order the Qing army in Anqing, Luzhou, Hezhou and other places to move westward, but the Qing army in Fengyang, Sizhou, Yingzhou and other places on the second line had already received orders and was marching to Chuzhou day and night

On May 25, the second day of Ma Qi's unsuccessful attack on the Zheng military camp on the first line of the Yucao River, the Zheng army conquered Gaoyouzhou, and most of the 3,000 defenders in the city surrendered except for a few who fought to the death. On the same day, the first division of the Tiger Wing Army, the vanguard of the Zheng army, entered the city of Baoying, and the gentry in the city, who could not bear the exploitation of the county and the green battalion soldiers, opened the city gate to welcome the Zheng army, and the Zheng army seized the county seat of Baoying without a fight.

The more important victory came from the city of Taizhou, where the Zheng army concentrated eight divisions of 40,000 troops to storm Taizhou, and the Qing army defending the city put up a desperate resistance under the leadership of the new Jingkou general Eluoshun and Shi Baozhen, the Yanxun imperial historian. However, the battle of Oroshun finally could not stop the heavy artillery bombardment of the Zheng army, more than 10,000 defenders collapsed, Oroshun was seriously wounded and captured, Shi Baozhen had to lead the remnants to surrender, and the Zheng army opened up the supply channel to the north, and then the Qing army in Xinghua, Dongtai and other counties surrendered when they heard the news

On 28 May, the Qing court issued an edict to mobilize the green flag soldiers stationed in Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places in Xuzhou and other places to go to Huai'an and Fengyang by two routes.
