Since that day, the Qing army inexplicably won the Battle of Hengshuiyang. In the afternoon, the Qing army arrived at the Luotou Gate west of Zhoushan City. Half of the troops were distributed to continue to stay on the ship to intercept the Ming army returning to Zhoushan. The other camps quickly completed the landing under the leadership of the Han army's Zhenglan Banner Jialazhangjing Chen Dianmo and others, and arrived at the city of Zhoushan the next day and began to attack the city.

It was already the early morning of the second day of September. As the commander of the campaign to Zhoushan, Jin Li was under the banner of the central army to facilitate command of the siege troops.

Although I learned from the prisoners that the Zhoushan defenders had weak military strength, the Qing army, which had an absolute advantage in military strength, could not make progress over the years with their brave fighting and firepower suppression.

The Ming army came to the sea and was trapped at Zhoushan City on land. As the commander, Jin Li could only launch an almost uninterrupted attack on Zhoushan City while strictly ordering the Qing army fleet to defend against each other, trying to completely crush the Zhoushan defenders with their superior strength.

But even so, under the artillery fire and hard fighting of the Ming army, the Qing army was still powerless to attack the city. In this way, it was not until yesterday that Jin Li saw the possibility of victory.

On the first day of September, Jin Yunyan, the general of the central army under Zhang Mingzhen, among the Zhoushan garrison, saw that the gunpowder was exhausted, so he surrendered to the city. Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanji, the chief of the city patrol, also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The two officials in charge of the city guard reported all the details of the city's city to the Qing army in exchange for capital to survive. This also made Jin Li learn about the crucial military situation of using out of gunpowder in the city.

Since there is no gunpowder in the city, the artillery used to destroy siege equipment and cover the Ming army's dead soldiers is useless. Seeing this, Jin Li immediately ordered the Qing army to approach and dig tunnels while sieging the city with a ladder, trying to use this to break into Zhoushan City.

However, even when the city guard officials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army's fighting spirit did not diminish at all. After beheading Qiu Yuanji's son and telling the four gates, the Ming army, whose morale was motivated, fought hard on the top of the city, defeating the Qing army that had attacked the city overnight, until this time.

Jin Li knew that during the Ming Dynasty, Zhoushan City was always a major coastal defense area along the eastern coast of Zhejiang.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a Zhoushan guarding Qianhu Station on this Zhoushan Island; in the 17th year of Hongwu, Xinguo Duke Tang He inspected the coastal cities, changed Zhoushan guarding Qianhu Station to Dinghai Guard, and stationed troops to guard them; in the 20th year of Hongwu, Dinghai Guard was moved to the east gate of Xiangshan, and Zhoushan was relocated to Dinghai Zhongzhonghou and Zhongzuo Station; after Zhengde, after Jiajing, the Japanese plague was severe and the sea defense was particularly important. Zhoushan City was also renovated many times, and it was even known as Yanguan.

After Jiashen, Huang Binqing, who was then the general of Zhoushan ginseng, went north to serve the king and was appointed as the general of Jiangbei, and was stationed in Anqing. Later, he was recommended by Huang Daozhou to Emperor Longwu, and was named Sulubo, and returned to Zhoushan. Since then, he has been in power here.

During this period, including Zhang Guozhu's attack on Zhoushan and Ruan Jin, Zhoushan experienced many wars and internal strife. The owner of the city also changed from Huang Binqing to the king of Lu, but he was never captured by a large army. The integrity of the city was much higher than that of many prefectures and counties in the mainland. Especially the Lu State used this as a means of success, and vigorously strengthened the city defense and set up a large number of artillery positions to be used as a defensive method, which was not so easy to dig.

The gunpowder in the city has been exhausted, and the Qing army's siege equipment has approached the city one after another. By constantly sending soldiers to siege the city, the Qing army greatly restrained the Ming army's limited energy.

Since yesterday, the Qing army has been digging continuously. The whole night has passed. The officer in charge of supervision has reported that the tunnel under the city wall to the west has been excavated. As long as the pre-built wood is burned, the city wall that has lost its support will completely collapse. And the critical moment is at this moment!

"The city collapses!"

As the Qing army in front finished speaking, with a rumbling sound of collapse, Jin Li stood up and watched the collapse of the city wall in the west of Zhoushan. The smoke and dust disappeared, and a gap several feet wide appeared before the Ming and Qing armies.

"The whole army attacks! Kill all the bandits, and the children and the wealth of the city are all available for you!"

At Jin Li's order, the Qing army, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed into the city from the gap. The Ming army did not know about the Qing army's previous move to dig the city, but its military strength was limited. After the gunpowder was exhausted, guarding the city wall was already at its limit. No more troops could go out of the city to block the exit of the tunnel, or dig ditches in the city to counterattack.

The wood in the tunnel was lit up, and in order to prevent accidental injury, the Qing army's attack stopped. The Ming army knew that it could no longer continue to guard the city wall, so they had to retreat into the city under the leadership of General Liu Shixun, Governor Zhang Mingyang, and General Ma Tai, Zhongzhen General Ma, and preparing to fight to the death.

……………………

Under the snow-jani Pavilion at the residence of Zhang Kentang, the Grand Secretary of the Lu State's imperial court, Zhang Kentang was wearing a python suit, wearing jade on his waist, and sat in the south.

At this moment, the vibration and loud noise of the collapse of the city wall have been heard, and Zhang Kentang's wives, concubines, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and servants at home are saying their final farewell.

The Qing army had already attacked the city, and it was impossible to repel it with just five hundred warriors and thousands of brave soldiers. However, if it fell into the hands of the Qing army, it would inevitably be ravaged. I am afraid that death would be a delusion.

The farewell ended soon. After saluting Zhang Kentang, the female members of the Zhang family threw themselves in turn, went to the water, and ended their lives cleanly, leaving only innocent people in the world.

Under the pavilion, Zhang Kentang's student, Su Zhaoren, the head of the Ministry of Rites, stood here. He originally came to discuss government affairs with Zhang Kentang, but now the city has been broken, and he cannot be sure that he can return home smoothly, so he asked Zhang Kentang for a sword and wait for the last moment.

"Teacher, Su Zhaoren is one step ahead."

After saying that, Su Zhaoren drew out the sword, held the sword in both hands and crossed it over his neck, and used all his strength to push the sword across. After gushing out a burst of blood, he fell to the ground and no longer had a rest.

"Sir, the country will die in the future, and the people will be the pioneers."

Su Zhaoren is dead, but his former oath seems to be still in Zhang Kentang's ears. He forcibly suppressed the tears that had been spinning in his eyes, called the old servant who had been following him for many years, walked to Su Zhaoren's body, and scattered a glass of water and wine on the ground.

"Yintang, wait for me for a while."

Back at the stone table, Zhang Kentang wrote quickly, wrote "The Desperate Poem", and calmly hanged himself under the pavilion.

The name of the empty name has been ruined for twenty years, and the evening is empty and sad to learn from the garden.

The return of the difficult poem is like the Jing Festival, and the sings and righteousness continues the Wenshan Mountain.

The king has not yet repays his kindness and his disciples' grudges, and the ministers have no faults to overcome difficulties.

Keep it for thousands of years of history, and don’t delete the word "clothing and hat" easily.

Xuejiao Pavilion is built in Zhangkentang's residence. Plum trees are planted on the left side of the pavilion, pear trees are planted on the right side, and branches and leaves intersect. Every year in early spring, flowers bloom, and the two ends are connected, and the flowers are as white as snow, so it is called "Xuejiao", which is where he usually reads and relaxes. Zhangkentang once said to people: Xuejiao Pavilion should be a place where the festival ends in the future, and it is as he said.

……………………

At the same time, Dong Zhining, the chief of the Military Affairs Office, sat upright in the official hall.

Many years ago, he contacted Wang Jiaqin, Zhang Mengxi, Huaxia, Mao Jukui, Lu Yuding and others with others. Qian Sule, a member of the Ministry of Justice, raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Ningbo, and was called "Ningbo Six Crazy Students" by people at that time.

Many years ago, he conspired to contact Wang Yi and Huang Binqing with Wang Jiaqi, Huaxia, Tu Xianchen, Yang Wenqi, Yang Wenzan, Dong Deqin and others to revive Ningbo in one fell swoop. Later, Huang Binqing made an appointment but was betrayed by Xie Sanbin, which is known in history as the "****** War Battle"

Many years ago, he served as a military officer, and had a good relationship with Wang Yi, Feng Jingdi and others. He often contacted the mainland rebel army and tried to restore Zhejiang...

But later, Wang Jiaqin, Huaxia, Tu Xianchen, Yang Wenqi, Yang Wenzan, Dong Deqin and others were killed because of the incident of overtaking the wall; Feng Jingdi was arrested last year and died unyieldingly; Zhang Mengxi participated in the Battle of Siming Lake and was lost in the formation; and Wang Yi was also captured in the Battle of Siming Lake, and a few days ago, there were also news that he died in Dinghai.

Most of the friends and comrades who were good at that time had already died. At this moment, Zhoushan City was broken, and he had no idea of ​​living a secret life!

Drawing out the sword, Dong Zhining whistled to the sky, and struck a blood mark on his neck, leaving with his old friends...

……………………

In the north of Zhoushan City, there is a residential area belonging to soldiers in the garrison.

During this period, Liu Shixun, Ma Tai and other generals were all killed and injured, and even the soldiers and the volunteers were killed and injured. Zhang Mingzhen's brother Zhang Mingyang and Li Xigong led the last few hundred people to use the narrow terrain of the road to make their final efforts.

After a small amount of casualties, the Qing army quickly retreated out, but sent people to surround the area roughly. Zhoushan City is now broken, and there are places where plunder can be robbed everywhere. Naturally, the Qing army is unwilling to fight the Ming army to the death in this place where the poor are living. After all, those who can persevere until now are repaid with the will of death, and no one wants to die a second before the victory.

The Qing army had retreated, and the exhausted Li Xigong sat down on the ground, covering the wound on his abdomen with his hands and gasping heavily.

"Can you still hold on?"

Hearing Zhang Mingyang's concern, Li Xigong immediately nodded, but he had no strength to continue saying anything.

At this moment, there were very few shouts of killing in the entire Zhoushan City, all of which were laughing from the Qing army and scolding from the people. Zhang Mingyang and Li Xigong had the last few hundred people, but they were almost all civilians. They could still hold on with the terrain here for a while. If they rushed out, they would be killed by the Qing army in an instant.

It is not possible to kill the city or fight back the Qing army. It is just a helpless move that can be done without any other means. If it is possible to replace a few Qing army, it will be worth it. Those who can persevere until this moment will repay this belief, because only in this way can they do their last part to their relatives who will die in the massacre of the Qing army.

Soon, another team of Qing troops broke into this narrow block. Zhang Mingzhen, Li Xigong and others greeted the brave men, picked up their weapons and prepared to rush forward for the final battle. But at this moment, Li Xigong stood there in amazement, and even his right hand, which was covering the wound on his abdomen, slid down.

"General Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xigong swallowed and looked at the Qing army in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

"It turned out to be the Mandarin Duck Formation. How is this possible? Did even Marshal Chen surrender to the Tartars?!"

……………………

That night, Zhoushan City had been completely captured, and the officials who remained here in the Lujian Dynasty surrendered, died, or killed. Even the last group of resisters were eliminated by the rebuilt Tibiao Zuoying. As for the people in the city, they were handed over to the Qing army who entered the city. I think these men would be worth the trip.

The next morning, the Ming army, who was trying to return to the aid, found that the city was broken and no longer launched an attack on the Qing army. Instead, after a while, he chose to lead the fleet south. Chen Jin also sent the Qing army to chase him, hoping to gain something.

It was already night now, and the banquet for celebration was still in the Qing army camp outside the city. The Qing army was drinking and eating meat everywhere. They were unrestrained during the meal, and even the officers were no longer in charge, because they were busy boasting about martial arts and welcoming Shangguan. After all, no matter how strict the officer was, he would not sweep the soldiers at the celebration banquet, and that was a matter of cold guns.

In Chen Jin's tent, a group of military generals at the top of the pyramid of the Qing army in Zhejiang were discussing the merits of this battle with the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

Seeing everyone discussing merits with Chen Jin, Jin Li just sat in the table and smiled without saying a word. In this battle, he was the commander of the Qing army, and the Eight Banners Army was the most important. He and his subordinates would definitely be able to get the biggest share of the merits. Otherwise, even Chen Jin, the bannerman of the Han army's Zhenglan Banner, would not agree, so he did not need to go out and offend people.

In the afternoon, Ma Jinbao, the general general of Jinhua in Taizhou, finally came news lately. The Ming army besieged Linhai County, had been completely defeated. Yu Guowang died, and Chen Wen was spared only.

At that time, Jin Li finished reading the report expressionlessly, but his heart was full of sneer. The mission of this war horse Jinbao was to be the president of the Qing army on the southern front that besieged Zhoushan. Who knew that this idiot was actually entrusted by the two Ming troops in Taizhou for so long, and it was not until Zhoushan was captured that he defeated the two Ming troops. It seemed that this boy who was scattered money and treasure would be bleeding again. Otherwise, how could Chen Jin, Xiao Qiyuan and others tolerate him?

The merits are still continuing. In this battle, the merits of each department were actually not much different. Ruan Jin, a lucky prisoner, won the victory of the battle in Hengshuiyang. Although it is impossible to write it in the memorial to report the merits, the merits will inevitably be divided evenly.

There is nothing worth mentioning about the siege. However, after the city was broken, the last rebellious Ming army defeated the Qing army several sieges, but the rebuilt part of the Luang Camp eliminated it neatly, which surprised the generals.

However, the war in Zhoushan has completely ended, and the rest of the remnants of the governor Lu King and the Ming army, as well as returning to Hangzhou to enjoy these looting matters. Of course, the news from Fujian still made him feel unhappy, but Zhejiang should have no longer had a built-in Ming army. Isn’t it enough to send troops to help suppress the enemy next year, right?

As the General of Pingnan and has the title of Gushan'er, Jin Li knew very well that Chen Jin's idea should not be much different from him. However, the Eight Banners in Hangzhou have been mobilized this year, and next year, the Green Camp soldiers will definitely be assisted by Fujian. After all, the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are also slaves of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor will not be happy if their similar types have been damaged too much.

Just as Jin Li was thinking about the war in Fujian, a messenger from the Qing army came in under the leadership of Chen Jin's personal captain, fell to the ground, handed the documents to the personal captain, and submitted them to Chen Jin.

After reading the letter, Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but become furious. He immediately slapped the letter on the table, which scared the Qing generals so much that they were frightened and restless.

Chen Jin had already sat down with luck, Jin Li stood up, opened the letter, swept through three lines, and was stunned on the spot.

"In August of the eighth year of Shunzhi, Dalan thief Chen Wen led 7,000 bandits into Dongyang County. In ten months, hundreds of thousands of followers..."

“…”

"…Xudu, Yin Can's rebellion has reappeared today, Jinhua Mansion is in urgent need!"
