When the Qing army in Zhejiang concentrated almost all its mobile forces to besiege Zhoushan, Zheng Chenggong from Fujian led his troops into Zhangzhou Prefecture, west of Xiamen.

On May 25, the fifth year of Yongli, Zheng Chenggong led his army into the Cizhao in Haicheng County, Zhangzhou Prefecture. On the second day, Wang Bangjun, the general of Zhangzhou of the Qing army, led 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to confront the Ming army. Zheng Chenggong believed that the Qing army would inevitably be arrogant and underestimate the enemy, so he decided to ambush the Qing army at the Cizhao.

The Qing army was not suspected of being cheated, and the entire division attacked the Cizhao Society and surrounded Zheng Chenggong. Although the Qing army struggled to break through with the advantage of cavalry, Zheng Chenggong also took out his trump card - the Qijia Soldier, which he had prepared long ago.

The vine armored soldiers in Zheng Chenggong's army were in groups of three, one holding a rattan card to cover, one cutting horses, and one cutting people. Under the fierce attack of the Ming army, the Qing army was defeated, and Wang Bangjun led the defeated army to flee, and the Ming army won the victory in the Battle of Massachusetts.

In the fifth year of Yongli, after Zheng Chenggong won the Massacre Victory, he wiped out Chen Chun, a pirate who surrendered to the Qing army in July, and led his troops to Zhangzhou in September. Faced with Zheng Chenggong's army, the Qing army in Fujian sent deputy general Chen Shangzhi to lead his army to help Zhangzhou, and joined Wang Bangjun's troops to confront the Ming army in Qianshan area.

On September 25, the Qing army took the lead in attack. The Ming army used Wang Xiuqi, Rongqi Town, to help Lin Sheng and Su Mao to wipe out the Qing army's vanguard in one fell swoop. Then, they prostrated Ding Town, rushed forward to the town, and attacked the town, and attacked the right town. The Qing army was corpses everywhere, Wang Bangjun and Chen Shangzhi fled in a panic and fled back to Zhangzhou City, which was for the great victory of Qianshan.

In November of the fifth year of Yongli, with Zheng Chenggong winning consecutive battles in Zhangzhou, the Qing army in Fujian was forced to send Fujian Admiral Yang Minggao to lead thousands of cavalry and infantry to the south to reinforce the Qing army in Zhangzhou. Since the Qing army must pass through Quanzhou to support Zhangzhou, Zheng Chenggong was preparing to block the Qing army in the Quanzhou area.

Zheng Chenggong led his troops across the strait and camped in the Xiaoyingling area. Yang Minggao ordered the Qing army to divide into three groups and launch an attack on Xiaoyingling. At the same time, he sent a Qing army to detour from Hongjian Mountain to the rear of the Zheng army, in an attempt to encircle the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong personally commanded the Ming army to fight bravely. The Qing army was defeated and defeated. Yang Minggao even fled. The Qing army was responsible for surrounding the border. The Qing army was progressing smoothly at the beginning. The Ming army was in charge of rushing to the town and the Yougang camps were unable to fight. Lai Qibing Town fought hard and barely stabilized the front. Later, Gan Hui led Qinding Town to arrive and fought hard with the towns. The Qing army was defeated on the whole line. The Ming army joined forces and chased them to Macuo Lane and returned, which was known in history as the great victory in Xiaoyingling.

Just as Zheng Chenggong won consecutive battles on the Fujian battlefield, a team of six or seven hundred men was moving in the mountainous area of ​​Dongyang County, Jinhua Prefecture. Under the leadership of the leader of the walking team leader, these men singed and sang in accent.

We are all sharpshooters.

Each bullet destroys an enemy,

We are all flying troops,

Even if the mountains are high and the water is deep.

In that dense woods,

Gay camps are arranged everywhere.

On the high hills,

There are countless good brothers of us.

No food, no clothing,

The enemy came forward,

No guns, no cannons,

The enemy creates it for us.

We grow here,

Every inch of land is our own,

No matter who wants to take it away,

We will fight him to the end.

...

The leader of this team was Chen Wen, and at this moment, he led the advance troops under his command to sing the famous anti-Japanese song "The Song of the Guerrillas". Of course, as the shameless Wen Copyright, while taking out this song, Chen Wen also changed the name to "The Song of the King of the Dalanshan Kings Division" in a veiled manner, which is also a kind of remembrance to those who died in battle.

This song "The Song of Guerrillas" is brisk and full of revolutionary optimism. In the current crisis, the officials and soldiers of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain were still working hard to restore Jiuzhou.

Even the word "Chen Wen" that was once considered not very suitable for the times was praised by Wang Jiang and Sun Yu. After all, the word "Come" is still a like-minded person at present, which is very consistent with the spirit of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, especially the common ambitions when Wang Jiang and Wang Yi rose up.

After Chen Wen took out this popular revolutionary song in later generations, not only the soldiers of Nantang Camp liked it, but even the officials of the old camp would sing a few lines when they had nothing to do. Only Wang Jiang was inconvenient to speak in front of the officials under his command due to his status as a governor. However, Chen Wen knew very well that in private, Wang Jiang also liked this song very much, and occasionally hummed a few lines after work.

After setting off from the temporary old camp on Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wen led the advance troops to sing this song every day. From the moment, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Chen Wen clearly remembered that on the way to retreat from Dalan Mountain to Xinchang last year, while protecting the people's retreat, the Ming army was only floating around about ten miles a day.

This time, in addition to the entire army attack in the first game of Nantang Camp, the cavalry, firearms, engineers, artillery, and military medical teams of the central army were all accompanied. Wang Jiang also sent some officials from the old camp under the control of Sun Yu to prepare to rule after capturing Dongyang County.

Although the actual number of people is less than 700, there are definitely not a small number of military supplies. But even so, from Tiantai Mountain to now, it has always been on the mountain road, and the advance force has always been around twenty-five miles. If it is traveling on the plain terrain, the marching speed should be faster.

Recalling the theory that human marching speed was directly determined by combat will that people had seen on the Internet in later generations, Chen Wen secretly sighed, "Modern people are truly not bullying me."

Nantangying had previously won two battles in the southern part of Siming Mountain, and this march aimed at regaining lost territory, and its morale was already very high. Chen Wen always set an example and insisted on walking with his soldiers. In addition, this advanced unit had reached a height that was almost impossible for the army of this era to reach in terms of morale. All of this also infected the old camp officials who were traveling with him, making the march extremely fast.

During this expedition, Chen Wen's purpose was to recover Jinhua Prefecture and use it as a base to continue to deal with the Qing army.

There is a saying that the golden horns and silver edges are rotten, the go is the case, the shops are the site, and the guarding places are the same. If we look at this, Jinhua Mansion is definitely not an appropriate base. Didn’t Yin Can, who had not gained a foothold in Jinhua not long ago?

Moreover, in a secret talk before besieging Tiantai County, Yu Guowang also expressed his opposition to this plan. Although his reason for his opposition was to restrain the Qing army on the southern front, assisting him in regaining lost territory after Zhoushan defeated the Qing army, and if Zhoushan was lost, if Chen Wen and him cooperated with each other, it would be enough to open up a new base for the Lu Jianguo in Taizhou. Once Chen Wen sent troops to Jinhua, Zhoushan would be powerless to win or lose.

However, on the one hand, Chen Wen felt that the task of using the Spanish phalanx he taught to Yu Guowang to restrain the thousands of southern Qing troops. On the other hand, due to his previous encounter in Siming Mountain, he had a great sense of distrust of the various units of the Ming army in Tiantai Mountain, and the issue of needing to cooperate with Zhoushan Ming army after changing territory with the Qing army.

So, Chen Wen had a big fight with Yu Guowang for a day and a night. After Wang Jiang, who was originally highly expected by Yu Guowang, showed a very trust in Chen Wen's strategic vision, he forced Yu Guowang to give up and continue to persuade Chen Wen. The plan to besiege Tiantai County that had been formulated before was implemented according to the original plan.

The reason why Chen Wen chose Jinhua was not only related to the positioning of the army under his command, but also more importantly, through the fog of history, the impact he saw on Zhejiang Defense Office during the months of besieging Zhoushan.

In order to siege Zhoushan, the Qing army transferred the Hangzhou Eight Banners, which was originally stationed in Hangzhou, to Dinghai to fight Zhoushan, and also dispatched the Governor Biaoying to assist in the defense of Ningbo to prevent the Ming army from sneaking into Ningbo and cutting off the retreat of the Qing army. At the same time, the Zhejiang-Fujian Governor Biaoying, which was formerly stationed in Quzhou Prefecture, was also ordered to go to Dinghai. In addition, after Ma Jinbao, the Jinhua General, was appointed as the president of the southern line, many of the Jinhua Town Biaoying and Chuzhou, Quzhou and Yanzhou green camps were also transferred to Taizhou. In this way, the Qing army in the entire Zhejiang had no troops to use for maneuver.

And there is actually a bigger problem here, that is, at this moment, the Qing army in Hangzhou, Jinhua and Quzhou were seriously insufficient, and even to the point where they were too short of defense to the prefectures and counties.

Suppose that if a strong Ming army suddenly entered, the Qing army in these three prefectures was unable to deal with it. Then, for Chen Wen, the rest was the multiple-choice question of choosing one of three.

If we talk about influence, we should naturally choose to attack Hangzhou. Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang and has the greatest influence. Moreover, its wealth is one of the best in Zhejiang. Recovering this place has a crucial impact on the overall situation of Zhejiang's anti-Qing. Moreover, it should not be a problem to support an army of nearly 10,000 people with the wealth here.

But things are both sides, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Hangzhou has a super influence and a developed economy. In addition, it is the garrison of the Eight Banners, the Admiral Biaoying and the Governor Biaoying, and his family are all here. If Chen Wen attacked here, he would inevitably be furiously counterattacked by the Qing army back to assist, which was completely unbearable for him, who had only more than a thousand people.

If you want to be second best, it is Quzhou. Quzhou is located at the intersection of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. It is as its name suggests, and its prosperity is only ranked behind Hu, Jia and Hang. Moreover, this place is the garrison of the Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the impact of the capture of this place is equally significant.

But Quzhou is a thoroughfare, and it is definitely common to be besieged by the Qing army in several provinces. Moreover, another part of the main force of the Qing army in the southeast is now encircling and suppressing anti-Qing armed forces in Jiangxi, which were called the four major bandits by the Qing Dynasty. Whether it was attracting the Qing army or attracting the Jiangxi rebel army, it was not a good thing for Chen Wen.

Of course, there is also the most important point. The area he is in here is Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou Prefecture. If you go to Hangzhou, you have to pass through the entire Shaoxing Prefecture. If you go to Quzhou, the nearest route is passing by Jinhua. This cannot guarantee the suddenness of the attack, so the answer is the last one.

Jinhua was called Wuzhou in ancient times. However, in the Ming Dynasty, this place was synonymous with strong people's customs. However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with the performance of the Qi family army trained by Qi Jiguang with miners from Yiwu and Dongyang counties in Jinhua Prefecture in the Jiajing Anti-Japanese War, this place was also recognized as a place where good soldiers were produced. After that, the Ming court recruited troops here many times to deal with internal and external troubles, and even reached the point where the population of the entire Jiangnan surged, and the number of people here decreased sharply.

The Nantang camp under Chen Wen was originally trained in the name of rebuilding the Qi family army. The long-term brainwashing made every member of this army firmly believe in psychological positioning that they were part of the new generation of Qi family army. And to this day, their performance is worthy of this.

Then, a rebuilt Qi family army returned to the military-building place of the old Qi family army decades ago, which is also an effective strengthening in the psychological positioning of the soldiers.

Moreover, this place was also the place where Wang Yi was thinking about regaining it, and even planned to siege Xinchang, Sheng County, and even Jinhua. As a general trained by Wang Yi, Chen Wen felt that it was a good thing to fulfill his will for this Shangguan who would never choose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to these spiritual reasons, although Jinhua is far inferior to Hangzhou and Quzhou in commercial terms, it is located in the Jinqu Basin and has a large amount of land. In addition, the massacres of this place when the Qing army headed south, the chaos during Yin Can's anti-Qing, and the hard work of Ma Jinbao, a famous professional land scraper player in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there is a lot of abandoned land, which is used to repay the pensions of the fallen soldiers, the new system to support the implementation of preparations, and the expansion of the army. It is probably enough.

As for the Qing army's return to aid and being in the four battles, Chen Wen felt that it was only the soldiers who could block the water and soil. Zhejiang could not find a better place as a base, so it could only be like this.
