The Jiangnan Navy under Wang Yi's command was the core of the Yangtze River Defense of the Qing Dynasty. In the past few years, Wang Yi has also completed the tasks assigned by the Manchu master, and it has "excellent achievements". However, Wang Yi knew that most of his achievements were from boasting. After Zheng Chenggong entered Zhoushan, the United States retreated to Sijiao Mountain, and even Chongming gave up. However, the Yangtze River waterway was severely silted, and the sandbanks were constantly silting, and the navy never gave up on detection. Therefore, he had been fighting with the Jiangnan Navy of the Qing Dynasty, which created Wang Yi's record of "retreating the Eastern Blades repeatedly and killing indefinitely."

At least when he set out from Zhenjiang, Wang Yi was still motivated to make achievements, because in the information he received, the Zhoushan Ming army was mainly attacking Ningbo, Zhejiang, while the Ming army at the estuary of the Yangtze River came to fight Qiufeng. It has to be said that Zheng Chenggong did a lot of play under Ningbo City.

Among the Zheng Fan soldiers who were feinting attacking Ningbo, many of them held flags of the United States Marine Corps and Army, wore the Chinese new military uniforms and the short hair caps, which made Doni from Nanjing and Yue Le from Jinhua think that Ningbo was the allied forces of the Ming and Qing dynasties. This is also due to experience. The two sides cooperated continuously in the southwest, and the same should be done in the southeast. The military order Wang Yi received from Nanjing was to "according to the southeast pirates on the sea pirates and assisted Su Song in reviving Chongming."

Obviously, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army in Zhoushan was much easier to fight than the Dongfan. From the beginning, it was believed that Wang Feng could complete the task. Don’t be able to take advantage of the Zheng family in the Yangtze River because of the tight battlefield in Fujian and Zhejiang. This created a wonder in the history of the Ming and Qing wars. Both sides were underestimated and believed that the other side was vulnerable.

"Another day has passed!"

Zheng Chenggong stood outside the Chongming Fortress, watching the first ray of sunshine rise from the east, and the top of the fortress was still raised by the Qing Dynasty flag. The fortress, which had been completely cut off inside and outside, remained motionless. The messenger sent in was chopped up and threw it out. Zheng Chenggong did not understand where the Qing army insisted on its beliefs. They were of the same clan, but they were of a different clan. They promised their high-ranking titles and rewarded them with rich rewards. What else should they insist on? Are they really loyal to the perverts of the ugly captain?

quack!

The clenched fists made a rattle sound, and Zheng Chenggong glared at the fortress. The fortress was not far behind, and the retreat was unstable. Moreover, the defeat in the first battle had a great impact on morale and military morale. All he could do now was to bet on the water battle and win. A burst of rapid footsteps came from behind, interrupting Zheng Chenggong's thoughts. Looking back, he saw Gan Hui, and two scholars covered in wet mud. Gan Hui said loudly: "Prince, the pseudo-Qing Jiangnan Navy has arrived!"

Zheng Chenggong's eyes widened for a moment, and his hand grabbed Gan Hui's shoulder, and asked incrediblely: "Are you serious?"

Gan Hui couldn't believe that the man in front of him was King Yanping who carried the banner of the Southeast Anti-Qing Dynasty on his shoulders. He hurriedly supported Zheng Chenggong and asked, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Chenggong rubbed his eyes and said, "It's nothing, Gan Hui, our opportunity is here. Whether we can open the gates of Jiangnan depends on this water battle!"

Zheng Chenggong knew very well that the Qing army's Jiangnan Navy rushed to the estuary of the Yangtze River in Chongming so quickly, that is, the Qing army did not know the strength of the army under its command. If he knew, even if he knew half of it, he would not come. The Qing army's arrogance gave him a chance, and Zheng Chenggong secretly vowed to seize this opportunity!

The Jiangnan Navy set out from Zhenjiang and went downstream. After passing Jiangyin, the channel deflected to the southeast, and it was even smoother. Although it was not as fast as it was coming in the morning and evening, it arrived in less than three days. However, the weather in Jiangnan in winter became worse. Lightning teared the sky on both sides of the Yangtze River. The instant bloom always lit up all kinds of ships on the channel. It started to rain heavily and the wide river surface was surging. Zheng Chenggong looked at the bad weather and rushed towards the warships by the river and shouted: "This is God's help, God, you finally opened your eyes!"

Wang Yi was as excited as Zheng Chenggong in this matter. Zheng Chenggong was happy because the bad weather could cover up a lot of things. The plan to encircle the Jiangnan Navy is easier to succeed, while Wang Yi was excited because such bad weather was more likely to raid Zheng's anchorage in Chongming.

It was raining heavily. Even during the day, the river was still dark and it was hard to see clearly from a mile to a distance. Qing army sailors paddled hard, and the neat sound of trumpets and the noise of the paddles slapped on the river were all covered by heavy rain. Wang Yi stood on the bow of a ship and looked at Chongming Island in the distance. Chongming County and the port were shrouded in lights, and there were two strings of pearl-like highlights between the port and the channel, connecting them into a line. Wang Yi knew very well that it was the alert ship set up by the Zheng army.

"Rise the flag and break into the port, don't get entangled with the enemy!" Wang Ying ordered loudly. He felt that he had won the lead and won half of it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Zheng army's guarded ships fired their artillery first, awakening all the ships around Chongming. Then the ships guarded at the port crashed into the fire regardless of their concern. The bow artillery of the two armies continued to fire. The Qing army's array was tight, and all the ones charging forward were Gale warships, artillery bombarded, collided, and the Yuegang boarded first, directly breaking through the Zheng army's blockade. The Gale ships slowly moved a little, and seven or eight fire ships rushed into Chongming port and knocked out balls of fireballs.

Between the endless fire, nearly ten ships rushed out like phoenixes in the fire. The sails and cables on the ship were already on fire, and there were busy people everywhere. These were the Gale warships inherited by the Ming army in Zhoushan from the Lu Jianguo era. The only nine remaining ships rushed out of the port full of flames and headed downstream. Wang Feng ordered the port target to be abandoned and pursued.

In history, Wang Yi was regarded by the Qing Dynasty as a general who was good at fighting, and repeatedly defeated the Eastern Band, but he could not make any decent achievements. Wang Yi saw the opportunity now. As long as he captured a few Gargan ships built by the Eastern Band, it would be an undestroyable record. The Jiangnan Navy pursued along the river, and the lights illuminated the main channel of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Chenggong held a simple sword and sat cross-legged on the bow of a sampan, allowing the cold rain to flow through the hat and into the armor. Zheng Chenggong closed his eyes and recalled the last time he entered the Yangtze River in the cold wind. It was more than ten years ago, in Wuhu and Tongling. That time, he was wearing armor and drove a sampan to sweep the rebels of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was just a vibrant young man, and so was Li Mingxun. More than ten years have passed, and the authority of the two is no longer comparable, and the achievements of the two are the same.

"It's time to end all this. In this battle, Zheng Chenggong will definitely be the best in the world!" Zheng Chenggong secretly swore in his heart.

The sound of the trumpet passed through the sea, and the deep sound hit Zheng Chenggong's eardrums, awakening the Yanping King who had been dormant for a long time. He stood up and looked at the river. There were only seven warships led by Gan Hui, and behind the butt were nearly a hundred laughing warships. Zheng Chenggong only took a look and knew that this was the main force of the Qing Dynasty Jiangnan Navy.

At this time, the main fleets of both sides had sailed to the central waters of Chongming Island. The large-scale early island movement in Chongming ended in the 17th year of Chongzhen. In the north, because of the embankment built by the United States and the gentry of Jiangnan, the coastline was fixed, but there was no embankment on the south side of the island. The southern line of the main channel was silt, and there were a large number of ports and rivers connected to Chongming. Now Zheng Fan's sampan is arranged in these reeds, with a sound of a sound

The cannons rushed out, with more than 200 ships rushing towards the Qing army's Jiangnan Navy ship. In addition to the oarsmen, the main iron army of Zheng Chenggong leaned on. These strong soldiers in iron armor hooked the Qing army's ship with grappling hooks, climbed up, and rushed into the crowd with their swords. This caused a bloody storm. Three or five soldiers cleaned up the upper deck of the ship in less than half a quarter of an hour, and the bodies and broken fingers on the ground were all over, like a god of killing.

The porcelain mines filled with gunpowder were thrown to the lower deck, blowing the Qing soldiers and paddlers below into a bloody and bloody state. When the survivors were confused, the killing gods had already jumped off and killed them hard. On some warships, the Qing army's counterattack was very strong. The iron man jumped off the deck and was hit by a coercion gun. He failed to charge several times, so he threw down the grease-filled pot, ignited it and abandoned the ship.

The Qing army in the warship was burned and screamed. Many people threw away the oars and came out of the oars. However, they were assassinated by the Zheng army guarding outside. Although the Ming army in Zhoushan had a slight record in the years of fighting in Zhoushan, life was really hard because they were blocked. At this time, they had the upper hand and became even more cruel. They deliberately did not attack the large Qing army ships that were sank, blocked all entrances and exits, and even threw some Qing troops that jumped out back to the fired ships, allowing them to be burned and choked to death.

The water battle in Chongming lasted for the whole afternoon. The heavy rain gradually stopped, but it could not destroy the war. The thunder disappeared, and was replaced by the rumbling cannons. Under the command of Zheng Chenggong, none of the large warships of the Qing Jiangnan Navy had escaped. The main ship led by Gan Hui broke through the Qing army group and went upstream. At the Chongming port, Su Song's troops were attacking Chongming. The Gallie warship led by Gan Hui directly overturned various troop transport ships loaded with soldiers and supplies on the water.

At the end of November of the 12th year of Yongli, the Zheng army defeated the Qing army's Jiangnan Navy in Chongming. After winning, they attacked directly along the Yangtze River. In early December, they arrived at the Guazhou Ferry Crossing. The Qing army's Jiangbei army had already arrived, but was defeated by the Zheng army and annihilated more than 2,000 enemies. These reinforcements were all from the flood land of the Green Camp in Jiangbei. After the elite troops in Jiangnan were drawn, these those who were temporarily driven to Guazhou were serious weak soldiers. After defeating the enemy, the Zheng army sent a fleet to burn three floating wooden cities, cut off the Hengjiang iron lock, and completely broke the Qing army's river defense fortifications. After Guazhou was restored, the Zheng army won the first surrender of the Qing Dynasty - the governor of Caojiang Zhu Yizhu.

The Zheng army followed the situation and landed in Zhenjiang Prefecture on the south bank of the Yangtze River. In the Yinshan area, the main force of the Zheng army defeated the reinforcements led by the governor of Jiangning of the Qing Dynasty. This battle made the Zhenjiang city guard lose their will to resist. The defender and the prefect sacrificed Zhenjiang City. With the help of the great victory in the downstream, Zhang Huangyan had already led the vanguard to the city of Nanjing. Zhang Huangyan did not win the expected "arrangement" and had to continue to go upstream to appease and surrender to all places.

The moment he entered Zhenjiang Prefecture City, Zheng Chenggong truly felt the favor from God. He had confirmed that he had the most important opportunity in his life. The morale of the Zheng army was greatly improved, and the next step was to march into Nanjing. However, Zheng Chenggong knew that fighting was just a worst strategy, and Xuanfu was the best strategy. After entering Zhenjiang Prefecture, Zheng Chenggong personally inspected the entire mansion and held a military parade at Ganlu Temple, ordering that soldiers were strictly restrained and robbery were prohibited.

"Zhenjiang surrenders first, which is the beginning of restoration. We should use Zhenjiang as an example in the world!"

The military parade was announced and the Yan army showed people. The two major political attitudes made the Zheng army unstoppable in Jiangnan. In addition, Zhang Huangyan and other gentry were running around in Jiangnan to comfort them. The effect was significant. The "returners from north to south of the Yangtze River followed one after another. Jurong, Chuzhou, Yizhen, and other cities successively surrendered, further igniting the anti-Qing Dynasty craze in Jiangnan.

Songjiang Prefecture, Baimaogang, Hongdouzhuang.

The small farm is hidden by the Yangtze River, and the tall thatched grass and willow forests hide the Hongdou Village. There are very few people entering and leaving here. The villagers around only know that the one living in the farm is a high-ranking official who lives here, and the people who come and go are scholars. The master likes to talk to a handsome Taoist the most, and occasionally you can see the two boating in the surrounding waters.

The ignorant villagers did not know that this secluded official was Qian Qianyi, who was among the top five in the list of traitors. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Qian Qianyi quickly surrendered and received attention from the Qing Dynasty. He entered Beijing as an official. However, as Jiangnan knelt down and surrendered, the horse bones like Qian Qianyi bought with a daughter no meaning. Qian Qianyi was not Hong Chengchou, who was good at suppressing and pacifying, and this old man who could only talk was useless. Qian Qianyi returned to Jiangnan from Beijing, was discouraged and completely disappointed with the Qing Dynasty, so he "formed a party day and night, and tied the operation department". Qian Qianyi was arrested many times, but he had many relationships in Jiangnan and had a deep foundation, and was rescued repeatedly.

The new army of dragon and tiger are old feather forests, and the eight kings are full of plants and trees

The sun is surging with the three rivers, and the stone horse is neighing with the wind and the nine realms are shady

Sweep the holes of Jinling and return to the ground lungs, bury Hu Zisai to comfort the heart of heaven

When he heard that Zheng Chenggong defeated the Qing army navy in the Chongming waters, Qian Qianyi wrote a poem in his study. He was extremely excited when he was sixty years old, but he felt that he would eventually have the day of "snowing injustice".

"Master, the Taoist of Jiushan is here." Shutong whispered outside the door.

Qian Qianyi stood up and saw a handsome Taoist coming in. It was Liu Rushi. She was given to Chen Zilong, who was running for the cause of anti-Qing, and Chen Zilong died on the road to anti-Qing. Liu Rushi heard that Qian Qianyi contacted all the people in Jiangnan to fight against the Qing Dynasty and appeared next to Qian Qianyi again, but the two were no longer husband and wife.

"Host, please see how I wrote this poem?" Qian Qianyi asked.
