On the east bank of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, there are corpses of green camps, broken guns and flags, and unowned war horses covering the earth.

In this battle, the Qing army had 15,000 troops lined up against the river, and only more than 4,000 people fled. Three generals of the Qing army, Ma, got the merits, Yang Chengzu escaped, and Tian Xiong was captured by Zhao Ming.

Part of the Ming army stayed on the east bank to clear the battlefield and harvested the heads. Part of the army crossed the Grand Canal and rushed straight to Zhenjiang.

The Zhenjiang defenders were frightened by the battle on the east bank of the canal. Seeing that the Qing army was defeated and more than 20 artillery were smashed by the Zhenyuan. The county magistrate and the Qing army guarding the city immediately fled westward. The Ming army occupied Zhenjiang without any blood.

Zhenjiang is an important node in the canal transportation, and the city is rich. In addition, there are many ships.

Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming fought all the way to Zhenjiang, and Wang Deshun ran over, "General, a large amount of food, money, and military funds were found in the city!"

Li Chengdong raised his eyebrows, showed joy, and said seriously, "This must be divided!"

Zhao Ming had a boat, and he crossed Taipingying first across the river, so Taipingying's advanced Zhenjiang City.

"Divid your mother!" Zhao Ming was unhappy when he heard that he wanted to split, but his face did not show it. Instead, he wiped the blood on his face, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is not panic, the most urgent thing is that we must gather our troops, head west, and head straight to Nanjing! As for the capture, you can have someone count it first and then divide it later!"

There were only two Qing soldiers in Jiangnan who could fight, one was Xuzhou Town, and the other was Luzhou Town left by Huang Degong. Li Chengdong had just defeated Yang Chengzu of Xuzhou Town, Tian Xiong of Luzhou Town, Ma Degong, and the remaining Green Camp soldiers were not his opponents.

Now that the elite Qing army in Jiangnan is defeated in Zhenjiang, it is the time when Li Chengdong and Zhao Ming show their skills. If the Qing army from other places arrives, they will have no chance again.

Li Chengdong nodded when he heard this, "General Zhao is right. Let's send troops to Nanjing now!"

Zhao Ming said, "Marrior Li waits for me for a while!"

Li Chengdong frowned slightly. You are the one who wants to send troops, and you are the one who has to wait for them. Are you teasing me?

Zhao Ming continued to explain: "Nanjing is the location of Taizu Tomb, I need to prepare it!"

During the Tang and Lu struggle, in order to fight against Emperor Longwu, Zhu Yihai made a slogan to restore Jinling first and worship Xiaoling as the emperor. It can be seen that worshiping Xiaoling will inevitably obtain huge political capital. How could Zhao Ming let go of this opportunity to gain capital?

Li Chengdong, a capricious butcher covered in blood, can be the general, and Zhao is only a guerrilla man, which is really unreasonable.

Before Li Chengdong knew Zhao Ming's intention, he waved his hand, "Then you hurry up, I'll let the forward go first!"

Zhao Ming looked at Li Chengdong with contempt, bowed his hand, and came to the city with Wang Deshun, and ordered: "Go and collect all the white cloths in the city, then tear them into pieces, and distribute them to the soldiers as white clothes."

On the east bank of the Grand Canal, the Ming soldiers who were clearing the battlefield cut down all the heads of the Qing army. They didn't bother to lightly. They tied three heads with small braids and threw them directly into the car, and took away the weapons, armor and loaded them onto a large ship.

When Zhao Ming also came out of the city when he cleared the soldiers on the battlefield and crossed the river to the west bank.

Li Chengdong was about to send someone to urge him, but he saw Zhao Ming riding on a horse, which attracted the attention of the soldiers.

"Marrior Li, let's go!" Zhao Ming was wearing exquisite fish scale armor, heart-protecting mirrors on his chest, white cloak behind him, phoenix winged helmet on his head, white cloth tied on his helmet, and a white body covered in white, holding his fist in a sexy manner.

Li Chengdong's muscles twitched on his face. This guy asked me to wait for an hour just to change his outfit. Seeing that he was clean, he probably took a shower before coming out.

Zhao Ming was originally planning to kill Tian Xiong with a stick, but he was attracted by his good armor, so he retracted some strength, but knocked Tian Xiong unconscious, and then stripped off his armor.

Zhao Ming is tall and strong, and wearing the general's armor, his aura is immediately different, and he can compete with Li Chengdong.

"Let's go!" Li Chengdong said unhappily, then looked at the soldiers of Taiping Camp behind Zhao Ming. Everyone was covered in shame and frowned, "What's going on?"

Zhao Ming said: "Didn't you say it? You want to worship Xiaoling!"

Li Chengdong frowned and said, "You are well prepared!"

Li Chengdong thought that Zhao Ming was only loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he paid so much attention to details. He actually didn't say much about the Ming Dynasty, nor did he respect Zhu Yuanzhang, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhao Ming came to He Wencheng by horse and smiled and said, "Brother Chang Geng, I want to worship Xiaoling and Taizu. Please help me write a sacrifice to you!"

He Wencheng shook his feather fan, nodded slightly, and said with a deep meaning: "Brother Bo'an, this move can inspire the morale of the people. Since Brother Bo'an does not dislike my writing style, I will be ugly."

When Zhao Ming saw He Wencheng responding, he became excited. This time I will definitely be famous all over the world!

In the east of Nanjing City, the inner city of Shence Gate, Hong Chengchou, who had just left the city for a day, led another 10,000 Qing troops to withdraw back to Nanjing City.

Ten thousand Qing troops rushed into the city in a hurry, which shocked the people in the city. They didn’t mean to destroy the pirates, why did they come back so soon? Could it be that the Qing army was defeated?

Just as rumors spread in Nanjing, Hong Chengchou hurriedly ordered martial law in the city to strictly investigate the detailed work of the army. The army quickly deployed defenses. At the same time, he urgently sent troops out of the city to Wuhu and Anqing, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he sent fast horses to central Zhejiang to report the situation in Jiangnan to Duoduo.

Previously, Zhao Ming occupied Chongming and invaded the Yangtze River. Hong Chengchou understood Zhao Ming's intention and believed that he could deal with Zhao Ming, so he never wrote to Duoduo.

Now, the situation is different. Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong have the ability to shake Jiangnan, so he has to report truthfully, but he still does not ask Duoduo to return to help immediately.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was not so cold. The Qing army soldiers were busy carrying arrows, wood, stones, turtle oil and other objects on the city wall that was more than three meters wide, preparing equipment to guard the city.

Just in the city, when the Qing army was busy, a Ming army whistle cavalry appeared in the wilderness in the distance, and then more figures gradually appeared behind him.

The guards on the city soon discovered the figure in the distance, and their hearts trembled. The Ming army actually dared to come to Nanjing City. The guards stared blankly at the wilderness. After a while, they came to their senses and suddenly shouted anxiously, "There is an enemy! Go and report to the central hall!"

When Hong Chengchou arrived at Yaofang Gate, the Qing army above the city was huddling by the wall, looking out of the city, and talking a lot.

Commander Du Biao, who was guarding Hong Chengchou, couldn't help but frown and shout, "The Lord Zhongtang is here!"

When the Qing soldiers heard the sound, they turned around one after another. Hong Chengchou saw the look of fear on their faces, and his heart was shaking, frowned, and quickly walked towards the city wall.

Outside the city, nearly 10,000 Ming troops had already reached the city. Thousands of Ming soldiers, all wearing mourning, each carrying two heads, walked three hundred steps away from the city wall, threw the heads in his hand to the ground, and five tall hills had already piled up.

"Is this?" The Qing officials who followed Hong Chengchou to the city were immediately frightened when they saw this. Not only were they, but also the Green Camp soldiers guarding the city, were all terrified.

After all, Hong Chengchou was the old supervisor. After all, he had seen some trouble. Seeing that everyone behind him was uneasy, he shouted angrily: "Don't panic, this is a pirate's act of disrupting our morale, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
