Chapter 118 Earth Fissure

Originally, he thought that the situation in the southeast depends on the ability of Zheng Chenggong, Fujian, but now it seems that Chen Wen from western Zhejiang is more capable of making the role of the southeast. Especially in this battle, the Qing Dynasty lost so many Eight Banners Army, even if it was just the Eight Banners Army of Han, it was enough to cause the Qing Dynasty to suffer considerable trauma.

"I finally saw this day, but I can't be too anxious. I have to see everything clearly before making a decision..."

……………………

Throughout June, the southeastern officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was lost. Instead, the Golden Palace in Beijing was very lively. Almost every day, some new jokes were spread to the market through the complex network of relatives of the Eight Banners of Manchu.

The four provincial capitals failed to suppress the Han army and the Eight Banners were almost wiped out. Only more than a thousand people successfully fled back to Hangzhou, and they were all officers with horses, Goshha and cavalry. The main force of the Qing army led by Li Benshen was not much better. They escaped back to Guangxin Mansion by luck and barely blocked Chen Wen's military attack with foreign things Hong Chengchou learned from the Jesuits in Beijing. It was really a mess.

Shi Tingzhu died, a first-class "Jinnihafan". Gushan Ezhen, who was inlaid with red flags in the Han army, was beheaded in public by the Ming army at the city of Guangxin Mansion. When this report was sent to Beijing, even the powerful people of the Qing Dynasty were dumbfounded. When the report describing the details of the decisive battle was sent to the imperial case in Shunzhi, there were even condemnations in the court that killed Hong Chengchou and Liu Zhiyuan.

Hong Chengchou had no problem with planning. Generally speaking, this level of calculation would almost be a complete victory. However, the Ming army he encountered this time was so unreasonable that the Ming army finally defeated it completely through field battles. In fact, it can be said that Hong Chengchou and Liu Zhiyuan had tried their best, but what the Qing Dynasty's powerful people saw was a crushing defeat, so someone must be responsible for it. Liu Zhiyuan was still responding to the mistakes, while Hong Chengchou completely underestimated the enemy in terms of planning, and not severely punishing it is not enough to be a warning for future generations.

However, the final decision on this matter was still in Shunzhi's hands, especially after Shunzhi returned to the harem to discuss with Empress Dowager Bumubutai, he immediately rejected all impeachments against Hong Chengchou and issued an order to arrest the entire family of Liu Zhiyuan, the Han army in the Han army in the red flag of Gushan.

The reason is nothing special. The noble kings who were in the Qing Dynasty were almost dead when they entered the pass, and no one among the civil servants and generals could compare with Hong Chengchou in terms of ability. Now Hong Chengchou can barely defend the front line. If it were someone else, I am afraid that the next 800-mile rush they received would be Chen Wen sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River.

Since this is the case, Liu Zhiyuan can only be the scapegoat. In fact, this is the second Pingnan General who was imprisoned this year. Who will take over the Eight Banners in Hangzhou and how to complete the Eight Banners in Hangzhou? These courts still need to continue to discuss and weigh the trade-offs in Beijing, but this is not what the people in Beijing are concerned about.

"I heard that it was the Empress Dowager who asked the Emperor to spare Hong Chengchou. It seemed that there was something that they couldn't explain clearly. It was said that when Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager accompanied him for a night before making the decision."

In the corners of the city, two sworn brothers from different surnames in the cottage gathered together, saying the true or false jokes that they popped out of the master's mouth, but the sound was as thin as a mosquito, as if they were afraid that others would hear it. The Baoyi who heard this knew that the son of his brother's master's elder sister was in the Four Left Wing Banners of Jiangning, Jiangnan, and was far more informed about Jiangnan than him, but he also knew some things.

However, because the Jiangnan Green Camp went south to help Zhejiang, dozens of men from Suzhou and Songjiang gathered here in a village on the banks of the lake, and the person in charge was Qian Yingkui, a former colleague of Yu Shizhong.

"Brother Yu had already gone south to Jinhua more than a year ago. Marquis Anyuan knew that we were waiting to fight the Tartars here. Now that Marquis Anyuan defeated the Eight Banners Army, we must not fall behind.

"Brother Qian, just say it. Everyone will listen to you if you do it!"

Seeing that there was no objection from others, Qian Yingkui shouted to everyone: "Suzhou and Songjiang have many lakes such as Dianshan Lake and Yangcheng Lake, and rivers are connected. We will be the official army in the future. We will form a boat army here, and we will not join Taihu Lake and Zhang San and his group of 'legs' bandits. Just do this to kill the Tartars, so that the whole world can see the courage of our Susong men!"

"Just do it!"

"Everyone is waiting for this sentence, kill the Tartars!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the emperor, and Marquis Anyuan is mighty!"

“…”

Half a month later, Qian Yingkui, the leader of the anti-Qing rebel army in Songjiang, called himself General Pingnan to raise an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Although it was two years earlier than in history, the situation in the southeast had greatly improved. Qian Yingkui contacted a large number of men who were determined to fight against the Qing army at the beginning of the rebellion, and the momentum spread throughout Susong's two prefectures in almost an instant. Almost overnight, the Qing Dynasty was in the most critical area in the south of the Yangtze River, and wars were everywhere.

The Southern Luezhe Jixu in the Ming Dynasty

In the winter of Xinhai, the six wonders of Wuxi were written in Qingzhou Prefecture

Cao Conglong's "Rule"

In the twelfth month of the fifth year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Conglong, the Minister of War, was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang. At that time, Zhejiang's army had tens of thousands of troops, and the king's territory was only one of Jinhua's palaces, and the soldiers were only seven thousand. Although they reported many good news, they were actually as dangerous as if they were exhausted.

Conglong'yin' led the cabinet chief Shen Chenquan to instigate the Zhejiang King's Army to enter Taizhou in the east. However, Jinhua is located in western Zhejiang, with Hangzhou in the north and Quzhou in the west. Both places are places where the enemy troops gather. In the past, Conglong's plan was not completed, and while the king's army was advancing west to defeat the enemy's governor Chen Jin, he brazenly made a "disaster" in Luochengyan Yan's Baitou Army in Jinhua, so that the king's army was forced to give up the siege and return to the army to quell the "disaster".

The army returned to the army and led the captive horses to Baolingchi in Wucheng. People praised them all. After Long did not think about his own mistakes, he was willing to tie up and released the prisoners. The "yin" formed Liu Cheng to rebel again, and the king's army defeated him again and was imprisoned in the city.

By the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Yongli, Shentangyuan was defeated, Chen Jin died, Quzhou was restored, and Li Dingguo's two famous kings spread throughout Zhejiang. Conglong felt uneasy and felt guilty, so he hanged himself in a place where he was under house arrest.

Some people say: If there is no such "disruption", it would be not difficult for the King of the King to restore Jiangxi. If you go downstream, Nanjing can be restored, which is a pity.

Four provincial capitals

In April of the seventh year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, the enemy used Hong Chengchou as the Southeast Administration and gathered troops from four provinces to encircle and suppress the King's Army in Zhejiang. Hong Ni made many cunning plans, and the King's Army was almost in trouble between Jin and Qu...

In May, the Qiantang Navy broke into Lanxi, and the commander of Gushan Ezhen Shitingzhu, Liu Zhiyuan raided Jinhua, and led by Liu Guangbi, the general of the culprit of Jinhua's murder, to break through the southwest of the city wall. Yin Yue, the general of Jinhua, held on with only 20% of the enemy's troops for one night. The king's army rushed more than a hundred miles to return to the rescue. He arrived at dawn, defeated in one battle, chased for dozens of miles, and captured more than 6,000.
