After pinching the documents for help, Zheng Chenggong easily changed it to a letter of surrender, and directly shot into the city. The next day, Guan Qizhong immediately sent the envoy to explain. Zheng Chenggong did not use this to further bargain, but instead showed a generous attitude.

Zheng Chenggong besieged Jiangning, but Li Zhichun and He Wangsheng, who were still in the army when they were in Zhenjiang, had already left.

As the Zhizhe Strategic Strategy, Li Zhichun naturally wanted to mobilize various rebels in Jiangnan. Among them, Qian Yingkui from Suzhou and Songjiang was specially contacted by him before, but he hesitated whether to go or not to go this time.

"Is this a matter of utmost certain?"

"The whole Taihu Lake has spread all over, can there be fake?"

The conversation with Li Zhichun was a Confucian scholar from Suzhou Prefecture, named Pingyuan. He was said to be a Confucian scholar, but now he is the leader of the rebel army in the Qing Dynasty. However, his rebel army is a little small, with only a few dozen men, and they are all fellow villagers and fellow villagers. They usually make a living by fishing in Taihu Lake. If they find opportunities, they will go to find the left-behind Qing army or the yamen runners who urged the Qing government to conduct a stake. It is actually no different from many small rebel army.

Because he was a Confucian scholar, Li Zhichun attached great importance to it. This time he went to mobilize Qian Yingkui to come here specially, but who knew that he heard such a big bad news.

"If you want to say that the Prince of Kuaiji is different, you can send the old camp who started like Nantangying to move out and cross the sea to fight Susong Navy, but you won. Nantangying, that was the Prince of Kuaiji who brought the old camp from Dalan Mountain..."

Pingyuan looked longing, and Li Zhichun's face immediately became unfavorable. He did not notify Chen Wen in advance. This was what he had warned Zheng Chenggong, because Chen Wen was as close to the water than the Fujian Ming army that came from the sea, but Zheng Chenggong actually told Chen Wen. The most terrifying thing is that not only Zheng Chenggong told Chen Wen, Chen Wen actually sent troops north to help restrain him. It was obvious that his previous instigation was not heard by Zheng Chenggong at all.

Zheng Chenggong's general trend to recover Nanjing has come. Chen Wen still has to face the Eight Banners Army in Hangzhou. At least most parts of the south of the Yangtze River cannot be affected. There is Zhang Huangyan in the upper reaches of Nanjing. He was a scholar. Li Zhichun believed that he could always listen to this person, but Zheng Chenggong clearly stated that his own idea was even bigger. If he didn't do it this time, he might just drive the tiger and enter the wolf in the back door.

This time, Zheng Chenggong's army was led north, so they blocked this martial artist outside before Chen Wen accumulated enough power to sweep Jiangnan. Now their influence on Zheng Chenggong is obviously very small. In the future, Zheng Chenggong took the banner of the Northern Expedition and the army eroded into the Huai land. Naturally, the demand for wealth and goods was inevitable and could not develop southward. If it were not done well, they would have to cut their flesh from the gentry in the southeast. Who made them owe to too much?

In addition, Qian Yingkui was the leader of the rebel army that he had gone to recruit many times before, but now he is mixed with Chen Wen's general Ma Xin. What this means is probably even more unfavorable to them.

Li Zhichun's worries obviously did not affect Pingyuan. At this moment, the Confucian scholars were already impressed by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and did not notice that Li Zhichun's face became increasingly ugly.

"This morning, the students also heard that the Prince of Kuaiji defeated Prince An Yue Le in Hangzhou and killed him..."

"What did you say?!"

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Pingyuan just thought it was telling Li Zhichun the rumors that came from the market. Unexpectedly, Li Zhichun stood up suddenly, his face turned pale, as if an emergency disease was coming. But the next second, Li Zhichun's expression suddenly turned back, and even a hint of joy appeared.

……………………

Li Zhichun went south to take advantage of the momentum of Zheng Chenggong's Zhenjiang victory to heat up the anti-Qing movement in the entire Jiangnan. In contrast, He Wangsheng returned in just ten days after leaving Zheng Chenggong's army, and even brought a rebel army to camp under the city of Nanjing in a blatant manner.

These days, He Wangsheng has been running around Nanjing and Zhenjiang. Pingyitong, which he had contacted before, as well as Zhang Chongfu, Wu Yonggong, Zhunben and others, were all here soon. If it weren't for the rebels who contacted privately or formed, it would have taken some time to organize and would have arrived at the city of Nanjing long ago.

However, this time, he came with dozens of small leaders who could speak, and what appeared in front of He Wangsheng were military camps that were completely different from those in Zhenjiang, so that He Wangsheng once thought he had gone to the wrong place.

On the riverside, groups of Fujian Mingjun were holding simple fishing rods and fishing nets to catch river fish on the river bank and small boats on the banks. Beside or behind them, one after another, half a year old, or a few years old, showed expectations. Whenever a river fish was caught or came online, it would not arouse the children's cheers or envy.

Every time this time comes, the Ming men who have no armor or weapons on their bodies, but they are war soldiers will smile with relief, especially when they see the children pointing at bamboo baskets or fish in wooden basins and making the sounds of childish and innocent childish sounds.

There is an exception here. The man held a javelin and rolled his legs down the river bank. He seemed to be searching for something. After standing for a while, he immediately stabbed into the water. When he raised the javelin, a huge river fish was inserted on the tip of the gun.

"Good means!"

The fishing and fishing on the riverside attracted the attention of many naughty children, but more naughty children played war games in the camp and the open spaces on the riverside. At first glance, it looked very chaotic and completely disorganized. But after looking carefully, it seemed that they were still deliberately imitating the Zhenjiang victory not long ago.

The naughty children chased and fought, and several of them even passed by He Wangsheng. The group of children ran over, and a naughty child with two snot cans was chasing closely behind him. Soon, a shout came from behind him.

"Boy, I'll go out and run wild before the wind and cold has recovered. Today I won't beat you up!"

The woman in the distance chased after him with a broom. The corner of He Wangsheng's mouth trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just led the group to continue to advance towards the military camp in the distance as the half-baby pointed just now.

Soon, He Wangsheng and his party approached the camp gate. Compared to the riverside, it was even more lively. Many small vendors outside the camp were selling goods, so naturally there was no bargaining from housewives. On one side, it was Jiangnan dialect and Minnan dialect. When chickens and ducks were talking, they often had to use gestures.

A guard was sleepy by the camp gate, but there was no one on the other side. Instead, there were many men and women's clothes hanging on the wooden camp wall, as if they were waiting to dry and have enough clothes for them.

When he walked to the camp gate, the guard seemed to have been standing and squinting. He Wangsheng went up and coughed. The guard raised his eyelids, glanced at He Wangsheng's official uniform, and said impatiently without asking.

"If you want to see the king, don't go inside, go around and ask others."

After saying that, his eyelids drooped again, and he seemed to be glaring again. He didn't know what physical labor this guy did last night, so he couldn't even get up at the guard today.

He Wangsheng was the young minister of Taipu Temple during the Chongzhen period, and now he is the Minister of War Regents registered by the Yongli court. Seeing that this soldier was quite disrespectful, the leader of the rebel army around him had to make a statement, but was stopped by He Wangsheng.

Other people's territory, and they represent the interests of the Southeast gentry, are still in the honeymoon period with Zheng Chenggong, so there is no need to do anything for some trivial matters. Even He Wangsheng only thought that many old Ming officials who had come to the world or lived in seclusion recently, so this was the case. However, what he saw and heard along the way really made him unable to understand.

"Is this Yanpingfan showing the enemy to the Tartars in the city that they are weak, so as to lure the snake out of the hole?"

"It's not like it."

I really don’t think that what I saw along the way was completely different from a military camp, but it was more like a simple, dilapidated town rising from the ground. Otherwise, how could there be so many women and children?

What's more, along the way, except for when I first entered the search range of the Ming army of Fujian, I encountered some impatient probes and asked them, no one questioned their identity along the way. At most, there was only a few doubts about their identities, and then they were diverted from things such as their wife, concubine, children, or livelihood.

"Why did the army in Zhenjiang have been so strict and prohibited, and the mighty army that has been banned has become such a ghost look like a wife and a child who is warm on the kang?!"

……………………

He Wangsheng bypassed the camp of Qianfeng Town with full of doubts and headed for Zheng Chenggong's main camp. But at this moment he didn't know that his doubts were now what Zheng Chenggong was worried and helpless.

"Isn't it enough for the soldiers to catch fish if the soldiers want to eat fish? Is it necessary for the soldiers to go?"

Zheng Chenggong was very angry. This was not the first day. Two days ago, Yang Ying, the household officer, visited the camp, and saw Yu Xin's vanguard's soldiers leaving their posts and running to the river to catch fish. At that time, he called Yu Xin to scold him. However, the past few days have passed, and the Qianfeng Town is still the same, and other camps are the same, as if the Jiangyu family members who have lost this Yangtze River will not be able to survive.

Since the vanguard approached Yifeng Gate on the ninth day of the fifth month, the siege of the city officially began on May 12th. It is May 22nd day. Zheng Chenggong's army has only been under the city for only eleven days.

Fortunately, the troops followed the orders, and rode around, secretly whistling everywhere, and kept on the city, and never stopped training for a day. However, when the families of the soldiers arrived at the city of Nanjing, the atmosphere in the army changed drastically almost overnight.

When family members enter the camp, they first feel the joy of reunion, mixed with melons, and the tears of the families of the fallen soldiers in the battles in the town. Reunion is a happy event, but the Chinese people pay attention to being buried in peace, so the funerals must be held in a large and special way.

During the first seven days, the battalions were filled with families and relatives and friends of the fallen soldiers wearing mourning clothes, and paper money was even scattered throughout the battalion.

Zheng Chenggong won two great victories in Guazhou and Zhenjiang, killing many Qing troops, but he suffered very few soldiers, and the exchange rate was very gratifying. But looking at the camp, it was like the Fujian Ming army had just experienced two devastating defeats. God knew why the "defeated" Fujian Ming army ran to Nanjing City to hold a funeral.

After the funeral, the joy of reunion began to be reflected in all parts of the camp, and there were even many happy events such as marriage and swornship.

It is no wonder that in the two great victories, many Ming army soldiers who were originally unfamiliar began to make friends with more robes. Naturally, in the current atmosphere, they naturally did not miss the auspicious day. Playing and singing is indispensable, and it is inevitable to celebrate firecrackers. There is joy everywhere, and the solemn atmosphere in the army has disappeared.

Zheng Chenggong's army is known as 170,000, but in fact there are tens of thousands of troops. The family members will only be more than this number, not less than this number. Suddenly there are so many more families, and this will be such a big market. Since the Ming army's surveillance also has demands and there is no intention to stop them, the small vendors around him will naturally come to make a fortune and make some quick money and live a life.

As for fishing, it is also inevitable that the soldiers voluntarily improve their family's living conditions.

These are inevitable, but the twelve hours of a day have never changed. My wife and children are warm-up kang, and they are all busy with these things, patrol and training, and naturally they have no time to do these things. The overall dispersion has become increasingly intense, until today.

"If this continues, the army will not be determined to fight, so how can it be done? The military discipline will be purged tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, send all the soldiers' families back to the ship!"

When He Wangsheng arrived, Zheng Chenggong was getting angry at the generals. Along the way, Zheng Chenggong's main military discipline was relatively purified, probably because it was under Zheng Chenggong's nose. But other places were really terrible, so that He Wangsheng also had the idea of ​​making suggestions on the way. But as soon as he entered the tent, he heard Zheng Chenggong's generals object to this, so he did not interfere.

"King, the soldiers will be dissatisfied with their families because they cannot meet each other."

Zheng Chenggong has heard of similar words, but the reports he received every time the camp patrol were like this, which really made him unbearable. However, the morale of the army is so good that it should not be disobeyed. Otherwise, if something happens in the camp around the city, it will be completely a big deal.

In an instant, Zheng Chenggong even remembered the old story of the veterans of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The army is a group with extremely strict requirements on military law and discipline. The thousand-mile dike was destroyed in the ant hole. The situation Chen Wen faced at the beginning was similar to his current situation. The only difference was that if he did not pay attention to his body for a long time, he would be ineffective and would have no medicine for a long time. The other was that he had a sudden illness. If he could not take medicine at the first time, he would die immediately!

"Go back and purify military discipline, tell your subordinates who can't patrol normally and who can't go out for a squad, and who will go back to the boat."

After all the generals took the order and left, Zheng Chenggong held a brief meeting with He Wangsheng. The rebel army camped on the side, and this matter was easy to arrange, but the current situation was more worth communicating.

"The king, the emperor has been everywhere these days, and all the scholars and people in Jiangnan have cheered and cheered for the victory of the king's army. The situation is very gratifying."

"What Mr. He said is very much. I happened to receive some good news and was about to talk to Mr. He." Zheng Chenggong took out several letters and information on the table and began to speak to Mr. He one by one.

"I received the good news from Shangshu Zhang. Now that the royal army that has entered the upper reaches has recovered Ningguo, Taiping, Chizhou, Guangdezhou and Wuweizhou, and are now pacifying the scholars and people from all over the country."

"A few days ago, Li Jingluo sent someone to send military information, saying that the Prince of Kuaiji sent troops to Songjiang and defeated the local Susong Navy, and Liang Huafeng's thief was saved only. In addition, there are rumors that the Prince of Kuaiji won the battle in the field under the city of Hangzhou and killed Prince An Yue Le."

Zhang Huangyan's success was what He Wangsheng and the others expected, and the result of their efforts was indispensable. But the latter incident made him feel a little complicated. However, as soon as the rumor came out, He Wangsheng calmed down a little, especially the fleeting arrogance between Zheng Chenggong's eyebrows, which made him feel relieved.

"There is another one that was delivered just before the military discussion, saying that the Governor of the Tartars was ordered to piece together a group of mobs to go south to rescue Nanjing. As a result, on the way, the guy jumped off the boat and committed suicide..."

It is rare for the Qing army to fear war, but it also proves how powerful Zheng Chenggong has reached. No matter what, these are good things. The situation in the Ming army is now very good. Even if there are some unsatisfactory aspects, He Wangsheng felt that this was not intolerable.

At noon, Zheng Chenggong's main business held a banquet to welcome He Wangsheng and his rebel army as usual. At the same time, in the jar city of Jubaomen, a dusty and abandoned defeated soldier entered the city and was undergoing strict inspections by senior defenders such as Ma Guozhu, Titicacum, and Guan Xiaozhong.

Among them, a general riding a variegated war horse looked at the tall city wall from afar and couldn't help but sigh.
