King Jing of the Supervisor of the State issued an order to Huang Zongyi, the censor of the left deputy capital: In the past, the king of the Song Dynasty, Duke Xiang, had a good name but no real reality, and the Shi family ridiculed him. Gongchang said that he established a king so that the world would benefit from it and the world would be free from harm; and Yun, when I came out to serve as an official, it was for the world, not for the king; for all the people, it was not for one surname. How can I be limited to the friendship of my old master and abandon the common people of the world! The establishment of the chieftain in Liaodong abolished my imperial line and insulted me. Clothes and crowns. This is a shame that this dynasty has not seen in hundreds of years, and a danger that China has not seen in thousands of years! There is no blood-blooded person who would not feel sad and gnashed his teeth against the slave chieftain. I and the Lu vassal have the same roots, and they attack each other. , making the whole world laugh. Every time I think about this, my heart breaks with pain, and I find it difficult to sleep with worry. Or I may ask why I don’t abdicate and let the talented people go to Lu, and I will stick to my wish, but how can millions of tigers survive? What’s more, I will supervise the country, and Guangdong, Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Chu will all be included in the territory. ; Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Henan, there are many actions. The people were born in water and fire, and they restored the majesty of the Han officials. How can we harm the country because of false fame? I hope that the public will take the world into consideration, and forget the feelings to persuade Lu. If the two vassals are reunited, it will be a great honor for the country. When I heard that the Duke was hiding in the mountains and forests, he wrote a book and established his theory. I dreamed of seeking virtuous people, but I waited for a long time. Qin Zai’s special edict.
Edict
January of the 24th year of Chongzhen
Treasure
In Huangfu, Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, Huang Zongxi, a great scholar of the generation, read this edict that Zhu Hengjia admonished him. He felt ashamed and ashamed. After a long while, he said to himself: "What King Jing said is that I should go to Zhoushan immediately to persuade the old people." The Lord will abdicate and become a feudal lord."
In order to force Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, to abdicate and join the feudal vassal, He Tengjiao, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, specially asked the great scholars Qian Qianyi, Huang Zongxi and others to persuade him. Qian Qianyi readily agreed and wrote many times to persuade Lu. Unexpectedly, Huang Zongyi refused to agree.
Huang Zongxi was an old minister of Zhu Yihai. He once raised troops in eastern Zhejiang to support Lu, and accompanied Zhu Yihai on a voyage to endure hardships. The relationship between the emperor and his ministers was very deep. Although he now lives in seclusion at home, he has never forgotten Lu in his heart. He is also a great Confucian, and he attaches great importance to honor and integrity. Now that the old master is weak, many civil servants and generals of the Lu vassal have abandoned Lu and returned to Jing. Huang Zongxi is afraid that if he persuades Zhu Yihai to abdicate and join the vassal, he will be scolded as a traitor seeking glory.
He Tengjiao begged several times, but Huang Zongxi refused.
Zhu Hengjia was furious when he heard about this, and wanted to beg you to persuade him. If you refused, he would scold you severely and persuade you.
Thus, there was this edict admonishing Huang Zongyi.
The edict is very straightforward.
First, let's accuse Huang Zongyi and use Huang Zongyi's words to refute Huang Zongyi. Didn't you say that being an official is not for the emperor, but for the people of the world? Your relationship with King Lu is a personal relationship; abdicating the throne to become a vassal and uniting the anti-Qing forces will be beneficial to the people of the world. How can you imitate Song Xianggong and forget the great righteousness of the country for the sake of a ridiculous reputation?
Then he reasoned and defended himself. Now that the Tatars are powerful, they must unite with the outside world. As for why Gu didn't abdicate to King Lu? Gu also wanted to give up the position of supervising the country to King Lu, but his subordinates refused, but millions of tigers refused. What's more? Moreover, Gu Gu helped the country to regain several provinces, which was a meritorious service, but the King of Lu did not. Therefore, the only choice was for the King of Lu to abdicate and become a vassal.
The last step is recruitment. I heard that you are writing a book at home and say, stop writing, come and join Gu. Gu has always dreamed of having a great talent like you. He has been standing in Changsha for a long time, waiting for you.
??
He Tengjiao, Zhang Kentang, Qian Bingji, Chen Jiamo, and Zha Rulong held another meeting of the Zhoushan Big Five against Lu Jianguo.
"He Gong, there are also Qiu Yuanji, the Minister of Rites, Ni Sanlan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Li Shimi, the Minister of Taipu Temple under the Lu vassal, who are willing to submit to King Jing of the Supervisor."
"He Gong, the generals Zhang Yunfei, Yin Wenju, Cai Yingxuan, Tu Denghua, commander-in-chief Jin Yunyan, deputy generals Zhou Shili, Zhou Mingchen, deputy general Zheng Guohua, garrison Wang Peiyuan and other troops who had previously surrendered to Lu Fan have all been arranged."
"He Gong, the first general of the Dynasty under Lu Fan, and the second general Ruan Mei agreed to secretly cooperate with our army to force Lu Fan to abdicate."
He Tengjiao nodded, very happy, this is all good news.
Suddenly, a feminine voice sounded, "He Gong, according to my official opinion, whether Lu Fan will abdicate or not does not depend on Lu, but on Qing."
He Tengjiao took a look and saw that it was Zha Rulong, "Oh, why did Zha Xunyan say this?"
Zha Rulong smiled: "The Qing army wiped out the Dalan Mountain rebels and stationed heavy troops in Dinghai. They must have the intention to invade Zhoushan. The Nalu vassal was already extremely weak, but it still refused to abdicate. The plan was to sit on the mountain Watch the fight between tigers. If both our army and the Qing army are defeated, he can seize Zhoushan and make a comeback. Therefore, this battle with the Tatars must not only be won, but also must be won with the smallest loss. In this way, Lu Fan abdicated It’s a foregone conclusion.
"We are going to fight," He Tengjiao was stunned. "If this governor is not good at fighting, I will entrust it to Marquis Zhongyong and Marquis Fuming. I will be cheering for them from the rear!"
??
"Everyone has finished drinking this cup, and the governor is waiting for news of your triumphant return in Yin County." Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, raised his glass to toast his subordinates.
Xiao Qiyuan, Tian Xiong, Ma Jinbao, Zhang Jie, Wang Shen, Ma Xin, and Zhang Guoxun all drank it in one gulp.
The Qing army had just wiped out the Dalan Mountain army, and its morale was booming. Chen Jin decided to go all out and take advantage of the situation to level Zhoushan.
The troops were divided into two groups. One group was led by Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, with Jinhua's general troops and horses, and Zhang Jie, the Dinghai general's army, set out from Dinghai to attack Jintangshan Island and Daxieshan Island; the other group was led by Tian Xiong, the Zhejiang admiral. Taking Taizhou Commander-in-Chief Ma Xin, Wu Song Navy Commander-in-Chief Wang Shen, and Chinese Army Vice-Admiral Zhang Guoxun, they set out from Qitou and headed straight for Shenjiamen on Zhoushan Island.
There were 20,000 Qing soldiers in each of the two groups, and the total strength of the Qing army was about 40,000.
Zhoushan's Jing army, Zhongyong Marquis Yang Huai, and Fu Ming Marquis Lincha each had a land division and a naval division of 20,000. They also merged and lured Huang Binqing and Lu Jianguo's 20,000 troops and horses to surrender, with a total strength of more than 60,000. It seems that there are more people than the Qing army, but in order to prevent Lu Jianguo from occupying the magpie's nest, 20,000 people have to be left to monitor Lu Jianguo, so the army that can be used on the battlefield is also 40,000, which is comparable to the Qing army.
Lin Cha said to Yang Huai: "Marquis Zhongyong, the Qing army is coming in two directions. How about you and I each take 20,000 people and meet the enemy separately?"
Yang Huai thought for a while and replied: "Shenjiamen is located on the main island of Zhoushan, which is the most important. You, the Marquis of Fuming, will lead 30,000 troops to guard Shenjiamen, and I will take 10,000 horses to guard Jintang Island and Daxieshan Island. Wait until you defeat the enemy.
, come and meet me again."
Lin Cha was shocked: "Marquis Zhongyong only brought 10,000 troops to guard the second island. It is too dangerous. It is better to bring more troops."
Yang Huai smiled: "As long as Fu Minghou can defeat the Tatars in the direction of Shenjiamen as soon as possible and join me, my place will be as stable as Mount Tai. The military situation is urgent, and I am the commander-in-chief. I have the final say and act immediately."
Yang Huailing's general Li Rubi led 5,000 troops to guard Jintangshan Island. He and his general Du Zixiang led 5,000 troops to guard Daxieshan Island. Lin Cha then led Wang Xing, Yu Long, Huang Dazhen, and Huang Yuqi with 30,000 troops and horses.
Fighting against Tian Xiong, the Qing governor of Zhejiang Province.
??
More than three hundred Qing warships rushed from Dinghai to Jintangshan Island.
On the largest ship, Dinghai Commander Zhang Jie was reporting the war situation to Governor Xiao Qiyuan.
"Futai, here is Jintangshan Island. If we capture this island, we can capture Cengang in the west of Zhoushan and advance towards Zhoushan."
The commander of the Qing Army on the West Route was Xiao Qiyuan, but the commander was Zhang Jie, mainly because Zhang Jie was good at water warfare.
"Okay, take this island as soon as possible and capture Zhoushan."
Seeing the Qing army's warship approaching, Li Rubi was as calm as a mountain. He was a former general of the Daxi Army. When he followed the Eight Kings, he had experienced countless bloody battles. He waved his right hand and said, "Fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Sixteen giant cannons from the Ming Army's Jintangshan Fort began bombarding.
"Why did you fire the cannon? Aimed at the blast", "Quickly, raise the barrel of the cannon", Zhang Dazhu, an old gunner, pointed at him, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer, squinted his eyes, and fired a cannon with his own hands.
.
"Boom!"
A huge cannonball hit a bird ship of the Qing army and immediately burst into flames.
"Shot!"
There was cheering in the fort.
"Did you see that? Just aim and shoot for me!"
Zhang Dazhu shouted majestically. In fact, only he knew clearly that he was aiming at a Haicang ship. Somehow, he shot the bird ship.
The Ming army's artillery sank several Qing warships, but the Qing army had too many warships, so they sailed closer and closer and began to land.
"Kill!"
After Jinhua General Jinbao led thousands of his men to land, they rushed towards the Ming Army Camp in Jintang Mountain on the island.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Bang! Bah! Bah!"
The Ming army's archers and gunmen shot down every Qing army.
"Run it for me!"
Ma Jinbao became fierce and led the team himself, and countless Qing soldiers rushed up with shields.
"Well done!"
Li Rubi laughed loudly. He was a powerful general in the Daxi Army. He had a team of 500 old brothers under his command. They had been recuperating in the mountains and were not deployed. Now is the time to use them.
"Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to our country. If you are still alive after this battle, I will give each of you a wife to carry on the family line!"
After saying that, Li Rubi didn't waste any time. She held two swords and rushed to kill the Qing army. Five hundred elite soldiers followed closely, all like wolves and tigers.
The Ming army had been recharging its strength for a long time, but it was still condescending. The Qing army was exhausted from the long battle and could not resist.
"Push!" Li Rubi stabbed another Qing soldier. When she saw a Qing general running down the mountain, she chased after him and chopped him off with a knife.
Ma Jinbao was running for his life when he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind his head. He hurriedly shrank his head, and with a "pop" sound, his helmet was cut off, and he rolled and crawled down the mountain.
Li Rubi was in hot pursuit, and Ma Jinbao had no choice but to escape on the boat. The Qing troops on the boat fired artillery to provide cover, and Li Rubi just stopped the pursuit and returned to the camp.
Xiao Qiyuan frowned: "I didn't expect the Ming army on this island to be so brave, such a powerful enemy that is rarely seen in my life!"
Zhang Jie suggested: "Futai, it is difficult to get off this island for the time being. It is better to attack Daxieshan Island, and then capture Zhoushan from Daxieshan Island."
"Well, let's take a detour to Daxieshan Island!"
When the Qing army attacked Daxieshan Island, Zhongyong Hou Yang Huai and his deputy Du Zixiang led five thousand Ming troops to resist desperately. However, the Qing army had too many people, and Daxieshan Mountain was not as steep as Jintang Mountain, so it gradually became unable to resist. p>
"Commander, please send a signal to Marquis Pinglu for support," Du Zixiang said to Yang Huai.
Small Xieshan Island behind Daxieshan Island is stationed with 4,000 troops from the former Lu army generals, Pingluhou Zhou Hezhi, general Ruan Jie, and Wei Bin.
Zhou Hezhi fled from Wenzhou Sanpan to Zhoushan with three thousand soldiers and horses. After being forced to surrender by the Jing army, He Tengjiao placed him on Xiaoxieshan Island. Ruan Jie and Wei Bin were also placed here after they were persuaded to surrender by Dingyuan Marquis Shi Zhongfang. These people were all surrendered generals of the Lu Army. Yang Huai was not at ease and did not dare to use them. Now that the situation was critical, he had no choice but to send a signal for three people to come for reinforcements.
After seeing Yang Huai's distress signal, Zhou Hezhi summoned Generals Ruan Jie and Wei Bin, "Both of them are former members of the Lu Army like me. We have to fight to show others that they are not the only ones who kill Tatars."
”,
Ruan Jie and Wei Bin happily agreed.
Zhou Hezhi's 3,000 men were all pirates and were good at water warfare. Although Ruan Jie and Wei Bin only had 500 men each, they were both elite veterans who had fought with Lu Jianguo in Fujian and Zhejiang. The three generals led seventy ships and attacked the Qing fleet. They were unstoppable and caused the Qing soldiers to panic for a while.
Zhang Jie, the commander-in-chief of Qing Dinghai, was also skilled in water warfare. He quickly stabilized his position and led a hundred ships to meet the three generals.
The Qing army had more ships and gradually regained the upper hand, but its offensive on Daxieshan Island slowed down.
??
Lincha, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, sailed away from Shenjiamen Port in Zhoushan with more than 400 warships. He was worried about Yang Huai's safety, so he wanted to find the east route for a decisive battle with the Qing army as soon as possible, and then return to support Yang Huai after defeating them.
"Enemy attack!"
The Ming army's sentry ship sent a signal.
Tian Xiong's fleet appeared in sight, with more than 300 ships, and the formation was quite neat.
Although Tian Xiong was the commander-in-chief of the Qing Army on the East Route, he was commanded by Wang Sui, the commander-in-chief of Wu Song Navy. He was not stupid. He knew that he was an amateur in water fighting, so he simply gave it to Wang Sui to command.
"Turn right and seize the wind direction!"
Wang Shen hoisted the flag and commanded the warship to turn slowly. The wind direction at this time was very favorable to the Qing army.
Lin Cha picked up his telescope and observed carefully, and found that many of the Qing's warships were actually sand ships. Such ships are suitable for sailing in coastal waterways with shallow water and sandy beaches. They are generally used as transport ships and are not suitable for ocean operations.
.
It seems that in order to attack Zhoushan, the Tatars collected all the ships they could.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The subordinates asked Lin Cha for instructions: "Commander, the wind is not in my favor now. Do you want to change the formation?"
Lin Cha smiled and said: "No, the wind direction in the nearby sea area is unpredictable. One hour it was a favorable wind, and the next hour it was a headwind. Don't worry about it and form a formation to meet the enemy!"
Lin Cha was very confident. He had 30,000 people, but the enemy only had 20,000. He had about a hundred more ships than the enemy, and many of the enemy's ships were civilian ships temporarily recruited. Naturally, the training was not as good as his own. As for the wind direction,
Well, haha, who can say for sure about God?
"Seize the wind and sail the boat!"
"Array!"
"Attack!"
Flags were issued one after another.
On the left wing, 120 ships of the Ming army Wang Xing's department faced off against the 100 ships of the Qing army Zhang Guoxun; on the right wing, 120 ships of the Ming army's Yulong department faced off on 100 ships of the Qing army Ma Xin's department; in the middle, Lin Cha and Huang Dazhen,
Huang Yuqi's 160 ships fought against the Qing army Tian Xiong and Wang Shen's 100 ships.
The wind direction of the Qing army was favorable, and the Ming army had many ships, so it was difficult to kill them at once.
"Dafu Ship, attack!"
Lin Cha hoisted the flag, and ten new No. 1 Dafu ships attacked the Qing army.
This new type of Dafu ship adopts a double-layer plywood design and can accommodate more cannons. The ordinary No. 1 Dafu ship has two red cannons and eight Qianjin Fran cannons, while this type of ship has four red cannons.
, the twelve thousand-pound Fran machine cannons are Lin Cha’s “ trump card .”
However, although this kind of ship's gun fire is fierce, its speed is slow. Therefore, other ships are usually used to entangle the enemy ship first, and then used during a melee between the two armies.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavy guns on the ten new Daifuku ships set the Qing ships on fire one after another.
"Huh?"
Tian Xiong's face began to turn pale.
"The wind has changed!"
Suddenly there was a strong wind, and the southwesterly wind suddenly turned into a northeasterly wind. The wind direction became favorable to the Ming army, which further enhanced the Ming army's advantage.
"Wow!"
Near Tian Xiong's ship, the mast of a clipper ship fell down, and the scarred hull began to tilt and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Marshal Tian has killed countless people in his life, including rebels, Qing troops, Ming troops, and innocent people. People who kill like crazy understand the fragility of life better than others.
He didn't want to die, and he finally became the admiral of Zhejiang, and his concubine at home was still waiting for him.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Tian Xiong's boat quickly turned around and fled to the rear.
As soon as they saw Marshal Tian escaping, Wang Shen, Ma Xin, and Zhang Guoxun lost their fighting spirit and fled the battlefield one after another.
Lin Cha was worried about Yang Huai's safety and rushed to Daxieshan Island with his fleet.
As soon as he saw Lin Cha's fleet, Xiao Qiyuan knew that nothing could be done and ordered a retreat. Chased by the Ming army, Xiao Qiyuan fled in defeat.
In the Zhoushan naval battle, the Ming army suffered 3,000 casualties and wiped out 10,000 enemies, achieving a great victory.
??
"Report to Governor Xian, our army is victorious!"
In the Governor's Mansion of Zhoushan City, He Tengjiao was anxiously waiting for news with Zhang Kentang, Qian Bingting, Chen Jiamo, and Zha Rulong, and finally received the news of victory.
"Oh, how big are the losses of our army?"
"The loss was not big, with 3,000 casualties."
"Okay, okay", He Tengjiao's face turned into a flower with joy.
Zhang Kentang, Qian Bingti, Chen Jiamo, and Zha Rulong all stood up and saluted, "We congratulate the governor!"
He Tengjiao also stood up and returned the gift, "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! Congratulations to King Jing, the governor of the country!"
"Hahaha", there was laughter in the Governor's Mansion.
Amidst the thick laughter, He Tengjiao's gaze was deep and directed towards the Putuo Island where Lu Jianguo was stationed in Hua.
