When Zhao Ming was about to feel Haizhou in Mandahai, he led his fleet to the north and took down Rizhao County, Linhai, Xinzhou Prefecture.

The Ming army opened warehouses and released grain, responded from far to near, and gathered tens of thousands of people.

Zhao Ming did not stop in Rizhao, and the fleet sailed north along the coast of Shandong.

In this battle, Zhao Ming's direction was clear, that was, he went north and finally went to the sea of ​​Tianjin Wei.

Zhao Ming was wearing armor and a big red cloak, standing upright at the bow of the boat, allowing the cold sea breeze to blow on his robe. When many soldiers on the boat saw it, they all sighed that the general was really mighty.

Zhao Ming shivered and sneeze, "Mom, it's so cold!"

It is already late October, and the weather is getting colder, and the fleet may need to spend the winter in Shandong.

"Where is ahead?" Zhao Ming asked loudly.

Guo Zhong took out the chart, looked at it, and looked up and said, "Master, you're about to arrive in Dengzhou!"

Dengzhou was originally an important stronghold for the Ming Dynasty to support Liaodong. A large number of materials, money, grain, and horses were shipped from Dengzhou to outside the pass.

Starting from the late Chongzhen period, all the cities outside the pass were gradually lost, and Dengzhou lost its original function. After the Qing army entered the pass, Dengzhou City became even more useless, and the entire city gradually became deserted.

As soon as the Ming army fleet headed north, they divided their troops along the way to attack Rizhao, Jiaonan, Jiaoxian, Rushan, Wendeng, Fushan and other places. The generals of Dengzhou had already received news and the defenders were ready for battle.

On the sea, Ming army warships lined up, and the gunners pushed the cannons out of the cannon window and smashed towards Dengzhou City. A large number of Ming army rushed into the harbor on a boat and boarded the dock. Under the cover of the cannons, they launched a powerful attack on Dengzhou City.

Jinan Prefecture was already in a panic, and Shandong Governor Fang Dayou was in a panic. He only had one tutor on hand, and he was not good enough to defend Jinan and had no strength to resist Zhao Ming's invasion.

In the Governor's Office, it was cold and Fang Dayou's forehead was sweating, and his hands were shaking, writing quickly, "The pirates are coming in a raging way, breaking Rizhao, Jiaonan, and now they are trapped in Dengzhou, and the troops are approaching Jinan. The people of Shandong have not yet been attached to the hearts of the people. There are bandits in Yuyuan in the west and Gaoyuan in the east. Now there are pirates attacking again. Now there are pirates attacking each other, and the situation is worrying. Shandong is the way to transport food, and is close to Hebei. If Qilu changes color, it is like a sharp sword piercing the chest. There are only 3,000 soldiers under the command of the slave. He is also in charge of Ke Yongsheng's army. He is unable to drive out the pirates. He is willing to ask the Regent to quickly send tens of thousands of Manchus and run south at night."

After writing the beating newspaper, Fang Dayou breathed a sigh of relief. He called his subordinates and ordered urgently: "Hurry up, send this memorial to the capital for 800 miles!"

In late October, there was heavy snow in Hebei, and it was covered with snow for thousands of miles.

In the silver-covered wilderness, several cavalrymen ran rapidly, and a majestic city appeared in front of them.

The cavalry ran to the city gate and presented the pass-through documentary. The defenders immediately moved away from the horses, and the cavalry roared into Beijing.

The war horses galloped on the streets, which shocked the people to dodge one after another. Everyone was talking, not knowing what was going on.

Last time I was so anxious, it was a Manchurian Beile who was killed by the Ming army. Who died this time?

The cavalry rushed to the War Department's Office, quickly turned over and dismounted, rushed up the steps, and shouted anxiously, "Emergency military information, we must report to the Regent immediately."

Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, was furious in the royal palace.

Zhao Ming entered the Huai River, captured Huai'an, and robbed all the grain that was originally to be transported to Beijing, causing the price of grain in Beijing to soar, causing the Eight Banners and the people to complain, which made Dorgon very angry.

When Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the supply of grain was based on rice and grain transported from the south. After the Qing army occupied Beijing, hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners' family members gathered in the city, but they did not do anything to produce, so the grain also relied on supply from the south.

Now that the grain rice has been robbed by Zhao Ming, the grain price in Beijing has doubled, and it is difficult to celebrate the New Year, and the government and the people are very dissatisfied.

"Hong Chengchou, a dog slave, vowed to promise me that I would guard Jiangsu and Zhejiang well. I want to ask him, isn't Lianghuai his defense zone?" Dorgon was furious and wanted to take Hong Chengchou down and replace him with another governor.

In the public housing, many officials lowered their heads, and everyone was as quiet as a cicada. They knew that Hong Chengchou and Mandahai might be in trouble.

However, everyone did not dare to gloat. The pirates entered the Yangtze River, fought in western Zhejiang, killed Boluo, the general of the Southern Conquest, and annihilated 50,000 Qing troops. No one dared to take Hong Chengchou's position.

Doergun was extremely angry. Not only was he angry that Hong Chengchou did not defend Jiangsu and Zhejiang well, but a sense of fear arose in his heart.

This feeling was not terrible in the past. It was not terrible to lose a place and suffer a defeat. What was terrible is that he and the Qing court seemed to have no way to solve the opponent.

Doergun recently received beating reports one after another. Mandahai drove Huaian from Yangzhou, and Zhao Tiebang flew to Haizhou. When Mandahai arrived at Haizhou, Zhao Tiebang flew to Shandong again.

The opponent was maneuvering at sea, and the Qing army was completely unable to find out the direction of the Ming army and did not know where the next attack target was. Only when the Ming army landed, could they know where the Ming army was attacking. But when the main force of the Qing army rushed over, the city had fallen and the pirates had entered the sea again, causing the Qing army to run away.

This made Dorgon suddenly feel that the seemingly powerful Eight Banners soldiers actually have weaknesses and unsolvable opponents.

Door Gogh felt a little uneasy about this.

At this time, an official hurriedly entered the public room, knelt down and saluted: "Regent, Shandong Governor Fang Dayou urgently reported!"

Hearing that it was an urgent report, Dorgon frowned and hesitated for a moment, but hesitated and took the memorial.

Recently, Shandong has been reported to be beaten almost every day. On October 14th, the pirates were trapped in Rizhao, Jiaonan on the 17th, Jiaoxian on the 18th, and Wendeng on the 22nd. Wherever the pirates passed, the local areas were corrupt, and the rule established by the Qing Dynasty collapsed one after another.

Dorgon had a gloomy face and opened the emergency report and hurriedly read it. He felt dizzy in his head. He held it on the table and was furious, "The pirates are rampant!"

"Regent, how about Shandong?" Fan Wencheng asked with courage.

Dorgon's chest was undulating, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The pirates captured Denglai, gathered bandits to attack Qingzhou, and the situation in Shandong was mostly corrupt."

When Fan Wencheng and others heard the words, their faces changed drastically. Shandong was close to Northern Zhili. If it was occupied by pirates, it would not only cut off the canal transportation, but also threaten Beijing. The layout of the Qing Dynasty would be completely disrupted.

"Regent, the slave thinks that the most urgent task is to quickly increase troops in Shandong to defeat the pirates!" Fan Wencheng immediately clasped his fists.

Dorgon paced back and forth in the hall, suddenly stopped and ordered anger, "Transfer the will of the king, scolded Mandahai, and asked him how to lead the troops. He then sent the commander of the guardian Jueluobahana, Beizi Yuele, the Han army's commander Gushan Shitingzhu, and the commander of the Han army, led 20,000 elite troops and went south at night."
