During the first month of the year, the wind in eastern Zhejiang is cold.

From the official road heading south from Shaoxing Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture, a large number of Qing soldiers marched southward.

On the road in front of the Qing army, the bodies of Ming army that were killed could be seen everywhere, and behind them was the land of eastern Zhejiang with thick smoke.

In front of the Qing army, a long camp inside and outside was covered with corpses. The watchtower in front of the camp gate fell obliquely to the ground, the village walls and horse-rejected piles were overturned, and wooden piles were scattered.

Most of the tents in the camp were burned or splashed with blood. The ground was filled with knives, guns, shields, Ming army corpses, and military flags with blue smoke.

After the Qing army captured Yanzhou, which was in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River, bypassed the Ming army's river defense and entered Jinhua, Boluo attacked Jinhua City, but was blocked by Zhu Dadian.

Seeing that he could not quickly capture Jinhua and entered Taizhou, Boluo immediately changed his strategy and left more than 10,000 Qing troops to monitor Jinhua City. He personally led 30,000 Qing troops to advance eastward and entered Shaoxing, preparing to encircle Fuchun and Qiantang main force of the Ming army.

After Zhu Yihai learned that Yanzhou had fallen and the Qing army invaded Jinhua, he knew that the Jiang defense was unaware.

So nearly 100,000 Zhejiang troops fought a race against the 30,000 Qing troops who were surrounded from the flanks.

Hundreds of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers retreated south in a hurry, hoping to escape to Ningbo before Boluo cut off the Zhejiang army's retreat route, and then rebuild the defense line and resist.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, just when the Zhenjiang Battle began, Zhu Yihai rushed into Ningbo Prefecture before Boluo arrived in Kuaiji.

At this time, Jiangfang collapsed across the board, and Duoduo led a large army to chase him to Shaoxing. After Yu Boluo met, more than 100,000 Qing troops rushed into eastern Zhejiang and began to ruthlessly chase the Ming army.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Boluo chased to Ningbo. Wang Zhiren was defeated by the Qing army in Yin County. Thirty thousand Ming troops suffered heavy losses. The soldiers fled in all directions, either fled east into the sea, heading to the Zhoushan Islands, or heading west into the Siming Mountains.

The king of Yue State was defeated and captured, crying loudly, "Zheng Zhilong, the one who ruined the world, gathered all the elite soldiers in the northern part of Zhejiang, and the army in central Fujian was 100,000. If one army was not sent to help, how could the Zhejiang soldiers alone be able to fight? Today's defeat, the only one who dies!"

Seeing that King Zhiren refused to surrender, Boluo asked the King Zhiren to hang him and abandoned his body by the Yin River. Later, he was taken away by the local people and buried him on the banks of Dongqian Lake.

The Qing army occupied eastern Zhejiang, and Grand Secretary Xie Sanbin, Song Zhipu, Fang Fengnian and others surrendered. Military generals Chen Xueguan and others also joined the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that something was wrong, they fled into the Qing army's ruling area, followed the Qing system and regarded themselves as "remnants" of the Ming Dynasty.

As the main force of the Qing army entered eastern Zhejiang, the situation of the anti-Qing Dynasty collapsed immediately, which made many anti-Qing people discouraged. They either joined the Qing Dynasty or shaved their hair to become Shunmin, Shaoxing and Ningbo, and completely fell into the hands of Duoduo.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Duoduo ordered Boluo to continue pursuing. The Qing army caught up with the Zhejiang soldiers in Fenghua again. Fang Guoan fought with Boluo for a moment and led the army to continue to flee south. The Ming army was defeated by the Qing army again. Grand Secretary Zhang Guowei and Chen Qianfu, the young minister of Dali Temple, did not follow the army and were trapped in Fenghua County. He committed suicide and died for the country. Nearly a hundred people died together.

Boluo won consecutive battles, chasing Zhu Yihai closely, and never rested until he caught him.

The Qing army pursued all the way. When they arrived at Fengshuling, Tiantai Mountain, which borders Ningbo and Taizhou, they were ambushed by Zhang Mingzhen and lost nearly a thousand people. They stopped chasing. The Zhejiang soldiers barely stood firm on the front line of the Kaizhou.

At this time, there were less than 40,000 Zhejiang soldiers and the soldiers fled to Taizhou, and half of them were killed or defeated by the Qing army, causing heavy losses.

There seems to be no suspense when the Battle of East Zhejiang ends here. Although the terrain of Fengshu Ridge is dangerous, it is unrealistic to block the Qing army if it wants to stop the attack of the Qing army.

Duoduo was waiting for news that Boluo had captured Zhu Yihai in Ningbo, but he did not expect to receive news that the front army was ambushed. This made Duoduo, who had not planned to take action personally, lead his troops to leave Ningbo and prepare to storm the Taipei and Wenzhou in one fell swoop, clearing the Ming army of Zhejiang in one go, preparing to seize Fujian.

...

Taizhou Prefecture, on Fengshuling, inside the Ming army camp.

Zhu Yihai, Fang Guoan, Zhang Mingzhen and others were discussing the situation and found that they were really helpless.

The strength difference is too big. The Ming army in eastern Zhejiang is no match for the Qing army at all. Relying on the remaining troops in eastern Zhejiang, it is impossible to turn the situation around.

While several people were discussing, the one-eyed alchemist Yan suddenly picked up the tent and said in panic: "Your Highness, Duoduo is here!"

Zhu Yihai's face darkened, and a hint of panic appeared, "So quickly!"

Fengshuling is located on the eastern foot of Tiantai Mountain, west of Xiangshan Port, close to the seaport, and has a dangerous terrain.

At this time, Zhu Yihai and others stood on the top of the mountain and looked northward. They saw a stream of people like giant pythons in the distance entering the Qing army camp under the mountain.

Everyone stared at the Qing army and saw the Eight Banners soldiers in various armors entering the camp. In front of the Qing army, thousands of people had entered the camp, and behind the Qing army still couldn't see the tail, and Zhu Yihai and others looked ugly.

"What should I do?" The ministers around were a little panicked.

Zhu Yihaidao: "Now we can only ask Fujian for help again!"

The current strength of Zhejiang soldiers can no longer change their own destiny. Only with external forces intervene can the situation be stabilized.

Now the closest to the Zhejiang army is Fujian. Zhu Yihai can't think of any other way, so he can only hope that Fujian can see clearly the truth that the lips are dead and teeth are cold and send troops to reinforce.

Zhang Huangyan immediately clasped his fists, "Your Highness, I am willing to go to Fujian. Chen said it is amazing, beg Fujian to send troops!"

Zhu Yihai looked at Zhang Huangyan, "I'll ask my dear to this matter."

Zhang Huangyan bowed solemnly and bowed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to convince Fujian!"

After saying that, Zhang Huangyan immediately turned around, left the mountain, made a little preparation, and went straight to Fujian.

Zhang Mingzhen saw the Qing army's troops increase greatly, and expected that Fengshuling would not last long, but Zheng Zhilong might not send troops. Suddenly, he clasped his fists seriously, "Your Highness, let me guard here, and your Highness moves to Wenzhou quickly. If things are not good, you should enter Fujian or go out of the sea!"

Zhu Yihai waved his hand and said, "No, I want to stay here!"

Zhang Mingzhen, Fang Guoan and others said: "Your Highness is the national crown prince. You must not lose anything. As long as your Highness is here, there will still be hope for the Ming Dynasty. Please move your highness and not let the soldiers die in vain!"

Zhu Yihai burst into tears when he heard the words, and then fled to Wenzhou under Fang Guoan's escort.

...

At the foot of the mountain, in the Qing army camp, many Qing generals stood outside the tent to welcome Duoduo.

"Prince Yu!" Boluo and others saw Duoduo coming over surrounded by white-armored cavalry, and hurried forward to salute.

Seeing this, Duoduo waved his hand, "Take me into the camp!"

In the Qing army's tent, Duoduo sat upright, and Boluo and others stood on both sides.

Duoduo said, "What's the situation now?"

Boluo hurriedly said, "Report to the prince, the barbarian is in charge of the mountain and block our army's way. But the prince gives me a while, and I will defeat the barbarian!"

Duoduo frowned slightly and said, "You should move faster. Please go to Fujian, stabilize Zheng Zhilong, and after defeating Zhu Yihai, I will deal with him and destroy Fujian in one fell swoop!"
Chapter completed!
