Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 701

In mid-April, the battle first started in Chizhou Prefecture.

After Jin Shenghuan occupied Anqing, the Qing army focused on managing Chizhou, that is, to prevent the Ming army from going east, and prepared to use this as a basis to counterattack Anqing and regain this important town in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

The Qing army garrisoned [-] troops here, and the town was built by the Han army banner, Gushan, and the amount of real gold.

Emperor Longwu personally led Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, Sun Shoufa and others to the expedition, and the influence of the emperor's personal expedition caused an uproar in the south of the Yangtze River in an instant.

Although Long Wu did not communicate with Wang Yan, when Long Wu knew that Wang Yan did not accept his edict to attack Henan, but gathered heavy troops to live in Wuchang, there was still a certain tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers.

Long Wu also knew that it was still difficult to deal with Hong Chengchou with Jiangxi's military strength, so he also acquiesced to Wang Yan's refusal, and very tacitly handed over the left wing of the army to him, the former humerus minister.

The Jiangxi Ming army was divided into two groups. Longwu led Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, with a total of 2 troops as the central army, and went straight to Chizhou. The dispatched Dai Zhifan is equivalent to advancing in three directions.

The Ming army aggressively attacked the south of the Yangtze River. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who reversed the unfavorable situation since the Hongguang Dynasty, Longwu's prestige in the world is still very high.

As soon as the proclamation came out and the soldiers and horses arrived, the Chinese army quickly broke through the Qing army's stronghold in Chikouhe, and all the counties and towns along the way surrendered, forcing Jin Li to retreat to Guichi City, and Sun Shoufa, the right-hand army, also won the first battle.

Huizhou Mansion was originally one of the important anti-Qing bases in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin Sheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Youdu Yushi of the Inspectorate, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Jiang Tianyi also persisted in the mountains for nearly a year. The people's willingness to fight against the Qing Dynasty was very strong.

The Son of Heaven's personal conquest greatly boosted the hearts and morale of the people. Sun Shoufa entered Huizhou Prefecture, and uprisings broke out in Qimen, Wuyuan, Yixian and other places. To Suining, Zhejiang.

At the same time, in the city of Shanghai, the common people openly wore net scarves, and the government servants hijacked the county magistrate to open the city. The Qing general Wang Jing fled without a fight. Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the situation and occupied Shanghai. , rushed to Hong Chengchou for help.

But at this time, although there were 15 Qing soldiers in Jiangnan, the Ming army came in several routes, and there were many places to defend. Hong Chengchou was doing his best to deploy Jiangning's defenses, thinking about how to defeat the enemy, and where he could spare troops to rescue them. I can ask Jiangning for help again and again.

The Qing army was divided into two groups in the south of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, Hong Chengchou in the south, and Duoduo in the north.

When the fighting was raging on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the war in Jiangbei was also imminent.

In addition to Duoduo's 10 bandit suppressing army in the north of the Yangtze River, plus the Jiangfang Battalion on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the local Green Battalion garrison, his strength exceeds [-], but he dare not take it lightly.

The Lu Wang army in the east of Yangzhou still poses a threat to him, but it is his old enemy Wang Yan who really makes him vigilant.

The Battle of Yang left him a deep shame, so when he found out that Wang Yan had gathered more than [-] troops in Wuchang and could enter the country at any time, he took his troops back to Yangzhou and prepared to go west to resist Wang Yan.

This time the Ming army came in a hurry, and the emperor raised his troops in anger, but the Manchus were not fully prepared, and they were all half-baked.

This battle is related to the national fortunes of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Qing wins, Dorgon is still the overlord of the world, Ming wins, North and South confront each other, and offense and defense are different.

Dorgon is far away in Beijing, but he also pays close attention to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. He has repeatedly issued edicts, warning Duoduo, Hong Chengchou and others that this war is related to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty and the ownership of Jiangnan, so that the Qing army must be united. Work together to defend against the enemy, and make a bunch of promises, as long as Jiangnan is guarded, not only high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but also all green camp officers with more than a thousand generals will raise the flag.

But if anyone dares to preserve their strength and does not go all out to communicate with the Southern Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty will definitely punish them severely.

Jiangbei, Luzhou Prefecture, Shucheng County.

After Anqing was occupied by Jin Shenghuan, the Qing army operated a stronghold in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Jiangnan was Chizhou Prefecture, Jiangbei focused on operating Hefei City, and Shucheng was the outpost city of Hefei City.

Because this pool is close to the area controlled by the Ming army, it belongs to the front line. Since the second half of last year, it has been reinforced.

The whole city is three feet high and one foot and three feet wide. There are enemy towers and horse faces on the city, a moat under the city, sheep and horse walls were built, and deep trenches were dug.

At the head of the city, various artillery configurations are relatively complete, and the only thing lacking is the lack of troops.

In order to encircle and suppress Xie Qian, Duoduo had mobilized many soldiers from the western front, so the troops on the western front were relatively empty, and Shucheng was just an outpost, whose function was only to warn and delay for a period of time. If too many troops are eaten, it is not worthwhile.

The defender of Shucheng is Li Shuitai of the Zhenglan Banner. He had already reached the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Melerer when he entered the customs. When Wang Yan won the battle, Dorgon thought of Li Sutai.

If he had been more vigilant back then and trapped Wang Yan to death in Yangzhou, where would the Qing Dynasty have caused so much trouble.

Li Sutai also said that the defeat in Yangzhou was entirely the responsibility of Zhunta. Once the guy died, he had to bear the responsibility for the defeat. He was promoted again and again, and he had a chance to win the blue flag Gu Shan Erzhen, but now he is being promoted as Jialazhangjing, leading 300 people as cannon fodder.

As the war progressed to the fifth year, the combat power of the Eight Banners declined and the number of banners decreased, which made the Manchu Qing change their previous tactics.

The composition of 300 people in Shucheng is basically the same as that of other cities. The main force is the 5000 green battalion soldiers, and a Niulu Zhenglan Banner is responsible for supervision and monitoring.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is surging, and the war is approaching, and the air is filled with anxiety and heat before the storm.

Li Soltai was also very worried. There were more than 5000 horses, which made him feel uncertain. Fortunately, there were enough equipment and food in the city, which gave him a sense of security.

At this time, on the top of the city, Qing soldiers stood beside the wall, soldiers patrolling the city came and went, and all kinds of equipment covered the top of the city.

Two green battalion officers were standing by the wall, chatting against the wall, and one of them said: "I heard that fighting has already started on the south and east sides. This time the south seems to be the emperor's own conquest. It's very aggressive. When do you think our side will fight?" Woolen cloth?"

The other person glanced at him angrily, "You have a long life to spare! The man is just eating and drinking, why are you still looking forward to the war?"

The officer laughed when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "I'm not out of my mind. I'm worried about when Xi Mian will kill him. Our little people are not enough to fill Wang Xianggong's teeth..."

The officer was talking, but the listener suddenly stood up straight and reminded: "Master Eight Banners is here."

The officer quickly stopped leaning against the wall and stood up straight.

At this time, a group of blue-armored Eight Banners soldiers came to patrol, and two generals stood by the wall. When they were far away, they were about to say a few words, when someone in the city suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack."

When the two heard the alarm bell at the top of the city, they quickly turned around and looked outside the city. They saw smoke and dust billowing in the southwest direction, and the flags were faintly visible. One of them couldn't help cursing: "Zhao Wu'er, you're a fucking crow's mouth."
