The Dashun army, which lost Li Zicheng, although it supported Li Zijing as the leader and Gao Guiying as the queen mother and continued to fight in various places, has completely become a plate of scattered sand.

In particular, Hao Shaoqi quickly degenerated and became the one with the worst military discipline in the Dashun army.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, Azig did not continue to pursue the Dashun army in the deep mountains, but aimed the spearhead at the remnants of You Shilu in the Jiujiang area.

Complete the final blow to You Shilu, and then join Yang Chengying in the south of the Yangtze River.

The eleven general soldiers of the You Shilu Department, plus the second generation of You Gongji, Azig still needs some time.

At the same time, Yang Chengying has completed the complete occupation of Yangzhou Mansion.

After destroying the remnants of Yang Yufan and Li Chengdong, Yue Cheng went up the river and joined Yang Chengying in Yangzhou Mansion.

On the first day of February, Yang Chengying set up a formation along the river and began to use tactics against the artillery positions on the south bank.

This trick is called "borrowing a cannon from a bamboo raft".

Yang Chengying sent people to organize the people, set up bamboo rafts along the river, and then threw them into the river.

The Ming troops on the other side did not know the details at all, and as soon as they saw the bamboo raft, they opened fire, and smashed the bamboo raft with round iron bullets.

Every once in a while, a round will be released to stir up the sensitive nerves of the Ming army on the south bank.

When they slackened, it was a good time to cross the river.

The Liaodong Army seized the time to rest and prepare for the attack.

And Yang Chengying was busy and went to the Yuewang Temple outside Yangzhou City to worship.

The cigarette smoke is swirling, the shrine of the Yue Wang Temple is majestic and magnificent, and the admired Yue Wang Ye sits behind the shrine with a calm face.

The plaque on the head reads four words of Dou Da - return my rivers and mountains.

In front of the god platform, the guard Zu Zepei respectfully offered the offering, Yang Chengying brought a bowl of clear water and a bunch of pure grass with a solemn expression, respectfully worshiped the god case, and then knelt down and kowtowed, and recited words in his mouth.

Although he wanted to live for a long time, he killed too much. It is hoped that Yue Wumu, who is loyal and upright, will have a spirit in the sky and lead the souls of the dead in this land to the underworld.

After the three kowtows, Yang Chengying got up and took two steps back, straightened his back, changed from a pious ordinary person back to a commander of Rong Ma, and said, "Come in."

As the words fell, the guards standing in a neat array in the courtyard of King Yue's temple rushed in, each holding a tablet.

They carried the heroes of both sides who died in this battle, including Shi Kefa and Liu Zhaoji.

There are also platoon commanders, company commanders and pioneers who have died on their own side.

The tablets are placed on the other shrines of the Yuewang Temple, and one dials out and the other goes in, and it seems that it will never stop.

There are too many killings here.

From Gao Jie's evil deeds, to the gathering of the five general soldiers outside Yangzhou, to a big battle between the Liaodong Army and the rest of Gao Jie.

Just when Yang Cheng used a bamboo raft to test the enemy's firepower and prepare for crossing the river, there was still a lot of quarrel in Nanjing about whether Emperor Hongguang would move the capital.

The most fierce opposition was naturally Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party in the Southern Ming Dynasty at this time.

Qian Qianyi quoted scriptures, analyzed the stakes, and righteously persuaded Emperor Hongguang not to move the capital.

Emperor Hongguang didn't read much, and he was stunned.

But he was not stupid, he knew that he was waiting to die to stay, so he pretended to agree first, and then found Ma Shiying to discuss a solution.

Ma Shiying said: "Emperor Chongzhen wanted to retreat south, but he hesitated, and finally died in the coal mountain. Now, Your Majesty must not hesitate any longer, otherwise he will end up in the same fate as Emperor Chongzhen."

"I also know, but if I don't say goodbye, it will cause panic among the ministers, who will I rely on in the future?"

Faced with the real situation, Emperor Hongguang was worried.

"Your Majesty, do you know Emperor Tang Ming? An Lushan and Shi Siming saw that they had entered Chang'an, and Emperor Tang Ming decisively went to Shu overnight, not only survived, but also returned to Chang'an."

Ma Shiying said: "Now Yang Chengying is a disciple of An and History, and His Majesty went out of the city overnight to Hangzhou to temporarily avoid the edge. If everything goes well, why not be Song Gaozong? If it doesn't go well, you can still move forward to Fujian."

"Aiqing's words make sense!" Emperor Hongguang slapped his face happily

。

Judging from the map, the Hongguang regime nominally owns half of the country, and can completely follow the example of Song Gaozong.

The two gentlemen and ministers took it for granted that it was impossible for Yang Chengying to lead the army to pursue all the time, otherwise the logistical pressure would be very great.

On the eve of the two monarchs and ministers discussing and fleeing.

Nanjing's Chang'an Gate posted two pairs of words, intended to mock the current situation.

The first pair: King Fu is drunk and has not woken up, and it is all nonsense right away. The shogunate's triumphant song has been suspended, and I still listen to the changes in Ruanzhong.

The second pair: The good fortune is over, just look at the donkey before and after the horse, Chongji is ruined, and He Lao is in the east and west.

These two pairs of words are very exquisite, "Ma" refers to Ma Shiying, and "Ruan" refers to Ma Shiying's henchman Ruan Dayue. "Donkey" refers to Lu Jiude, "Jie" is Zhang Jie, the confidant of Shangshu and Ma Shiying, and "Zhan" is Li Zhan, the imperial history of Zuodu.

It means that Ma Shiying's gang of guys made the foundation of the Hongguang regime unstable, and the ground shook.

The person who wrote these words was none other than Qian Qianyi, who had more than enough success and more than failure.

It's all at this time, and Qian Qianyi hasn't forgotten to step on his political enemies.

In the end, Emperor Hongguang wants to face, and the implementation of the plan is temporarily suspended.

This delay will be until the fifth day of the second month.

On that day, Emperor Hongguang did not go to court, but watched a play for a day.

In the sound of warblers singing and dancing, the Liaodong Army on the north bank was in full swing preparing to cross the river.

They cut down trees and made small boats.

At the beginning of the war, Shi Lang commanded the navy to first remove the firepower points that had been reconnoitred on the opposite bank. The boat, driven by local fishermen, carried the soldiers of the Liaodong Army to the south.

For this reason, many Liaodong troops jumped into the Yangtze River in the cold wind to familiarize themselves with the water in advance.

On the opera stage, the whole "Journey to the West" is being staged, with a total of six books and 24 folds.

Sun Wukong's movement and leaping, beating the demons, provoked the Hongguang Emperor and the ministers who watched the play to applaud again and again.

People of insight saw it differently, the golden hoop stick in Sun Wukong's hand was actually the baton in Yang Chengying's hand.

Under the command of Sun Wukong, the monkey monkey grandson fought hard against the heavenly soldiers. But it was the heavenly soldiers who suffered, because the monkey monkey grandson practiced hard to kill the enemy.

Ma Shiying didn't come to see the play, he stayed in the cabinet.

After a month, Ma Shiying finally received the news of You Shilu's death.

Since then, there has been one less fierce opponent, and he is very excited.

"Great, I can finally call Tu Fei back and assist the southern soldiers in guarding Zhenjiang." Ma Shiying said happily.

"Ge Lao, Yang Chengying Chen Bing Jiangbei, at this time, he was only transferred to the Shui Division, is it too late?"

Ruan Dayue asked cautiously.

This sentence really asked Ma Shiying.

To say that the Hongguang regime is really nonsensical, at such an urgent time, there is no perfect post station system.

You Shilu was completely dead before he got the news.

Is it in time?

It's definitely too late.

On the eighth day of the first month of February, Yang Chengying pretended to sacrifice the Yangtze River and announced that the army would cross to the south.

The navy destroyed the batteries along the coast at the first time, and then covered the crossing of the river by small boats.

Almost at the same time, Yue led an army to the west and crossed the river at Longtan.

There was originally a Liaodong Army there, but Yang Chengying deliberately transferred it away in order to confuse the enemy. made the defense of Longtan about equal to nothing, and let Yue Xuan cross the river without much effort.

No matter what time it is, Yang Chengying is prepared with both hands.
