Han’s Son is Not a Slave

After Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi hurriedly reported that Zheng Jun might invade the Yangtze River, Shunzhi and the interior ministers were very frightened, and immediately ordered the Qing troops from Zhejiang and Jiangsu to be stationed to strengthen the defense of coastal prefectures. Jiangxi, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces dispatched troops and horses, under the unified command of Prince An, Yue Le, to reinforce Jiangning in batches, and at the same time urged all ministries to prepare for personal expeditions quickly, scheduled for July 15. Because Zheng Jun might invade the Yangtze River, Shunzhi did not dare to delay his personal expedition, otherwise, if Nanjing was lost, the situation would be out of control.

When the Qing court dispatched troops on a large scale, after collecting grain and salaries in the Wenzhou area, the Zheng army moved the boat northward, preparing to enter the Yangtze River and capture Nanjing. When Wenzhou went north to Zhoushan, the King of Yanping County issued an decree: "The officers and soldiers on an expedition should not be without internal consideration; if they travel with their families, they will naturally obey. The officers and soldiers of the generals of Xunzhen, who had the idea of ​​being a family when they were in Yongzhen, had already dispatched soldiers and household officials to rush boats to carry their relatives; ."

After the decree was promulgated, Yanping specially assigned Zhongjing Bo Chen Hui and Xuanyi's former town Chen Ze to lead the navy to protect the ships of the female family members and act with the army. With this order, Zheng Jun's officers and soldiers were all delighted and encouraged, but the ladies and ladies who were seasick suffered.

Some of his subordinates had persuaded Yanping to inappropriately enlist women in the army, but Yanping said that he would go north to the Yangtze River and seize Nanjing with great certainty. As a result, the Qing army was taught by Doni ②℉length ②℉Wind ②℉wen ②℉, ww w.c→ The main force of fwx.ne√t has been blocked in Yungui by the Taiping Army, and they will not be able to get out in a short time. The Qing army garrisoned in Nanjing was very weak. According to the information provided by people who have recovered from the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the Eight Banners of Manzhou garrisoned in the Nanjing area were only a small team led by Aung Bangzhangjing Kakamu, with less than 1,000 troops, and the rest of the troops. Most of them were green camps. Although there were many people, they could not resist Zheng Jun at all. I am strong and the enemy is weak. As soon as Nanjing is over, the Zheng army will take Jiangnan forever. He Fang’s wife will damage the morale of the army.

Ordered to march with his family, firstly, Yanping was so confident in capturing Nanjing that he never considered the danger of failure; secondly, he learned from the past. When Yanping led the army abroad, the Fujian Qing army took advantage of it many times to enter, causing all the family members who stayed in Jinsha to be killed and injured, which seriously affected the military's morale. Attack again. When the Zheng army went north last year, there were many worries in the army. After a year of rest and preparation, and the fact that Guangdong supported the Tang Dynasty to supervise the country, Yanping had no time to delay in capturing Nanjing to worship Xiao Mausoleum and occupying the righteousness. Therefore, there should be no worries in the army. In this way, after the capture of Nanjing, there is no need to send someone back to pick up the family.

After Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan joined forces north, they first arrived in the Dinghai area of ​​Zhejiang Province in May. After two days of fierce fighting, they wiped out all the Qing troops guarding the area, captured Dinghai Cannon City, and burned more than 100 Qingshui Division ships. After capturing Dinghai, the Zheng army on the one hand created the illusion of attacking Ningbo Prefecture in Zhejiang Province, attracting the Qing troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to come to aid, and on the other hand, they divided their troops to attack the coast of Fujian to confuse the Qing army in Fujian.

Dasu, the Qing court's interior minister in Fujian, was confused by Zheng's actions and ordered the coast to shrink. The Guangdong Taiping Army in the south also launched an attack on Fujian again. Although the scale of the attack was small, it contained the Qing Army in southern Fujian, which made Dasu even more panicked. Zhejiang asked for help, and at the same time sent an emergency report to Beijing.

Tong Guoqi, governor of Zhejiang Province in the Qing Dynasty, judged that Zheng Jun's massive northward movement was not just for the purpose of raiding the coast of Zhejiang to collect grain, but it was possible to enter the Yangtze River and invade Jiangning City, so he sent 800 miles to Beijing for expedited, and sent people to Jiangning at the same time. The report asked Lang Tingzuo, the governor of the two rivers, to quickly deploy the Yangtze River defense line, so as not to be easily entered into the river by Zheng Jun.

On June 19, after more than a month of tactical confusion, Zheng Chenggong finally led 160,000 troops and more than 3,000 large and small ships, heading north from Dinghai, heading north in three routes, led by Admiral Gan Huitong. In the army, Zheng Chenggong personally led the generals in the center, and the commander-in-chief, Chen Wenda, set off in a mighty manner to head towards the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Jun entered the Yangtze River this time, and the scale of the ships was huge. Its navy was dozens of times more than that of the Ming army in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Qing army was far worse, so that the coastal Qingshui Division saw Zheng Jun's battleship from a distance and fled. Don't dare to fight. Ma Fengzhi, the admiral of Wusong in the Qing Dynasty, even supported his troops to wait and see, and he would not surrender without fighting.

However, when the Zheng army went north with such momentum, there was a scum in the army. Before entering the Yangtze River, Ma Long, the former town of Zheng Jun's army, surrendered to Zhapu, Zhejiang. There were five ships with Ma Long, including two water sling boats, two double-canopy boats, one underwater boat, soldiers and their families, men and women. There are more than 140 famous people, but the equipment they carry includes thirteen red cannons, forty-five bronze cannons, ten three-eye guns and shotguns, and forty-two barrels of gunpowder. Eighty-nine catties, one thousand six hundred and sixty-three iron bullets in red, one hundred and eighty-two barrels of iron bullets, a total weight of eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine catties, and one hundred and five barrels of broken iron. The barrel weighs 5,190 jin in total, with forty-two iron armors, twenty-six iron armors, nine iron hand shields, nine iron skirts, fourteen iron shield nests, as well as cotton helmets, armor, and knives. , arrows, spears, shields, etc.

Although these five ships only had more than 100 people, the number of offensive artillery and self-defense iron armor was quite astonishing, which also gave a glimpse of the strength of Zheng Jun. After Ma Long surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he quickly informed the Qing army of Zheng Jun's plan to enter the Yangtze River to seize Nanjing. Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi was even more shocked when he heard about it, but according to the time, Zheng Jun has entered the mouth of the Yangtze River. The city depends on whether Lang Tingzuo, the governor of Liangjiang, takes his warning seriously.

In Xipu, Luyuan, Changshu, Jiangsu, in the residence of Qian Qianyi, a great man in the literary world, Maoxiang, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, and his wife Dong Xiaowan came to visit.

When he saw his teacher, he took the opportunity to bow down sincerely: "Master Zongbo, the students greet you!"

"Bijiang, hurry up, hurry up!"

Seeing the visit of the students, Qian Qianyi, over seventy years old, was very happy, he stepped forward to help Mao Xiang up, took his hand and entered the house. Madam Liu Ruzhi also came up to greet her, pulling her sister Dong Xiaowan by the Qinhuai River in the past. Seeing Xiaowan lost so much weight, her eyes instantly turned red. Dong Xiaowan also hadn't seen Liu Rushi for many years, and the woman's family was easy to fall in love, and her eyes were hazy.

Qian Qianyi is very enthusiastic. Although he is called the teacher of Maoxiang, his wife and Maoxiang's wife are sisters, so they do not hold long ceremony. In the conversation, it is natural to mention the recent wars.

"Then Zhou Shixiang was really alive when Wu Mu was alive, and he was even more impressive than the King of Jin back then!" Qian Qianyi was quite excited.

Mao Xiang also said with emotion: "Yeah! In just four years, first it was Haha Mu, Shang Kexi, Li Suotai, Wu Liuqi, etc., then Jidu, the prince of Tartar, and this year it was Roto and Xian Guoan, tsk tsk, In four years, the Tartars reimbursed one Manchu prince, two Han vassal kings, one governor, two governors, five Gushan Ezhen, six Dutongs, two admirals, tens of thousands of soldiers, and countless green battalions of the Han army. Such a brave person is a scholar, and the students really admire him, this person is really a hero who God gave me to restore the Han family!"

"Bijiang doesn't know anything, sir, since he learned about the war between Guangdong and Guangxi, his whole person is different than before. I used to see him sighing and sighing, but now he is very wordy, talking non-stop all day long. , as if those battles were fought by him." Liu Rushi covered his mouth and smiled.

"No wonder Pijiang has become what it is now. It turned out to be learned from Mr. Dong." Dong Xiaowan also said with a smile.

"What do you know? Since Jiashen, my Han family has lost all its clothes. You don't know what it means to be absent from the homeland and interrupted by tradition. Over the years, this old man really regrets the past.

Qian Qianyi suddenly blamed himself, Maoxiang and Liu Rushi were busy comforting him, saying that the past is over, and there is still a chance to restore his clothes today, so why should he blame himself.

Qian Qianyi wiped his tears: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately there is Li Dingguo first, then Zhou Shixiang, they are all heroes of my Han family."

Seeing this, Maoxiang hurriedly changed his words and said instead: "The student heard that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the battle in Guangxi was fought under the command of Shizhong, a general under Zhou Shixiang. This person is from Zhejiang. A native of Yuyao, a descendant of Qi's army, when Lu Wang Zhu Changpi faced off against the Qing army on the Qiantang River, this man wrote a blood letter to ask for battle, but was beaten 100 times by Zhu Changpi in public. Hundreds of people fought **** battles with the Qing army, and finally took dozens of men to Fujian to fight Longwu. In the blink of an eye, this person has become a general of the Taiping Army today, and he has won such a big victory!"

After hearing this, Qian Qianyi sighed: "So, heaven will not destroy my Daming, nor my Han family. It's a pity that these heroes were unappreciated back then, otherwise, why would the Tartars take over my Daming country? "

"At the moment, the main force of the Qing army can't come out in the southwest. Although the emperor has abandoned the country, Zhou Shixiang and Zhongzhenying have jointly established the kingdom of Tang Wangjian." Speaking of this, Maoxiang suddenly stopped, thinking that the teacher has always supported Yong Historically, Guangdong and Guangxi now support the Kingdom of Tang Wangjian. I wonder if the teacher has an opinion on Guangdong.

How could Qian Qianyi not see what the students were worried about? He shook his head and said, "After so many years, you and I should also see clearly, is what I've been doing all these years really for the sake of restoring my eyesight? No! After Longwu, everything this old man has done is not to restore the sight, but to restore the clothes of the Han family!" He grabbed the money rattail behind his head, and said with great disgust, "This old man is in his seventies. Now, do you really want to bring such an evil thing to see the ancestors!"
