Chapter 25 Fishing in troubled waters

Outside Jiangyin City, Liu Liangzuo's troops had nearly 100,000 people surrounded the city, and the military camp spread, and torches were dotted, just like nebula in the universe.

On the Yangtze River, Qing army ships shuttled through and surrounded the city on all sides.

The townsman in Jiangyin City can still defend with the city, and once he leaves the city, he will definitely not be a match for the Qing army.

If Jiangyin City had enough food and supplies, and the people were guarding enough, it wouldn't matter if they kept it. However, when the shaving order came suddenly, Jiangyin's righteousness was also very sudden, and there was no careful planning. It was entirely because the villagers came to Jiangyin to guard it out of righteous indignation, and did not make much preparation.

If the city does not have enough food, supplies, and troops, you will be able to last for three or four months at most, and the food will be exhausted.

Faced with the disaster of Jiangnan and wantonly trampling on the dignity of the gentry and people in Jiangnan, the gentry and people in Jiangyin were willing to die, and they had no intention of living, but just to tell Jiannu that the people in Jiangyin were dissatisfied, and Zhao Ming's words made Yan Yingyuan change his mind.

The purpose of Jiangyin's righteousness is to protect the dignity of the ancestors, to drive away the Tartars, to restore China, and to ensure that the world is not stained with filth.

For example, today, there are many like-minded people who are fighting against Jiannu. Hope has not been completely cut off. Jiangyin cannot give up hope and must survive and do more to restore the country and mountains.

If the land is left and the land is lost, the land will be lost; if the land is left and the land will be lost!

The people of Jiangyin want to break through, move towards places where they are still resisting, and continue to resist the Qing Dynasty.

After the Qing army occupied Nanjing, they could have issued an edict to determine the world. However, Jiannu miscalculated the situation and implemented the hair shaving order, which led to the war between the Ming and Qing dynasties becoming a dispute between China and the barbarians. Many gentry and people who had no feelings for the Ming Dynasty raised the Ming flag again in order to fight against Jiannu's hair shaving order and national oppression policy, and supported the Han regime of the Ming Dynasty to fight against Jiannu.

According to Zhao Ming's memory, after the surrender of the four towns in Jiangbei, Zuo Menggeng also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Anqing. Zuo Town General Jin Shenghuan asked to collect Jiangxi for the Qing Dynasty. Soon the army attacked Nanchang and occupied northern Jiangxi. The Qing army controlled the outside of the pass and the entire Yellow River Basin, plus the two Huaihe River, Huguang and most of the Jiangnan area, while the Ming army still controlled the vast areas of eastern Zhejiang, western Zhejiang, southern Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guizhou.

Although the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage at this time, the wrong decisions of the Qing rulers caused the rise of rebels from all over the south of the Yangtze River, which indeed brought a chance to the Southern Ming.

Historically, after the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty lost a world-recognized communist ruler. The Longwu court established in the south and the Lu governor of Zhejiang and eastern Shandong were hindered each other and did not seize this opportunity. The Jiangnan rebel army fought on their own and was defeated by the Qing army. The Jiangnan anti-Qing struggle ultimately failed.

Zhao Ming asked for orders to go out of the city for help. In addition to winning a glimmer of hope for Jiangyin and changing the outcome of Jiangyin, he also hoped to organize the anti-Qing forces in Jiangnan and preserve some anti-Qing fire.

Even if you establish a loose organization like Tiandihui in advance, it is better than fighting each other.

If all the righteous men in Jiangnan were killed by the Qing army, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to the Qing army's rule over Jiangnan and would not be conducive to the Ming army's counterattack.

In history, Jiangyin was able to hold on to the defense of Jiangyin City for 81st days, Zhao Ming didn't have to worry about it. All he had to do was to unite the anti-Qing forces in Jiangnan for the remaining two months and find reinforcements for Jiangyin.

Outside Jiangyin City, Liu Liangzuo's men were preparing siege equipment overnight.

A hundred thousand army besieged a small Jiangyin city. After fighting for half a month, it could not be defeated, which made Boluo, the general appointed by the Qing court to take charge of Jiangnan, very angry.

As one of the four towns, Liu Liangzuo, who had been through war for a long time, was blocked by a group of villagers, and he really couldn't afford to lose this person.

At this time, Boluo Gang suppressed the rebel army in Kunshan and killed more than 20,000 people. When he returned to Jiangyin, he saw that Liu Liangzuo had not yet captured the city, so he no longer gave him face and beat Liu Liangzuo's board in public.

This made Liu Liangzuo very embarrassed and angry, but he did not hate Boluo who beat him, but hated the rebels in the city, and decided to break Jiangyin and get back his face.

Therefore, Liu Liangzuo was desperate and decided to dispatch most of his elite troops to rush to build siege equipment and do his best to attack the city.

The Qing soldiers were busy, and everyone was ready to fight, waiting to enter Jiangyin, loot and robbing, and do whatever they wanted.

At the third anniversary, the sky was gloomy and the clouds were dark and low. The Qing soldiers who had been busy in the middle of the night whispered for a while and then fell asleep.

There was silence in the Qing army camp, with only the sound of torches blowing by the wind and the footsteps of patrol soldiers.

In the Qing army commander's tent, Liu Liangzuo, who had just been slapped, stood in front of the sand table with a pale face, holding the sand table with both hands, and discussing the siege with his generals, "The cannon has arrived. Zhang Tianfu, you will arrange personnel tomorrow to set up a cannon to bombard the city."

Zhang Tianfu's muscles twitched on his face, showing a fierce look, "Mr. Xie, the general, gave Mo. He will give Mo. He will have a chance to avenge his brother. Please rest assured. Mo. He promised to knock out a gap for the general."

Zhang Tianfu's brother Zhang Tianlu was directly picked to death by Zhao Ming during the first siege of the city, which made Zhang Tianfu full of anger.

Liu Liangzuo nodded with a calm face and looked at his younger brother Liu Liangchen, "Liangchen, after the artillery bombards the gap, your troops will supervise the battle behind you. Those who dare to retreat but fail to advance will be killed, and no one is the exception."

Many green camp generals couldn't help but shiver. Liu Dashuai was beaten with a slap on his face and started playing.

"Receive the order from a humble position!" Liu Liangchen held his fists and accepted the order.

Liu Liangzuo glanced at everyone and saw that many generals were still obedient. He nodded slightly and waved his hand, "Okay, you guys go and rest!"

Everyone bowed and then left together. Walked out of the tent. Liu Liangzuo's sinister wooden light stared at the sand table, his face full of anger, "I will definitely wash away the shame and break through Jiangyin, without leaving any chickens and dogs."

At the fourth update, the Qing army camp was in bleakness, and the soldiers were already asleep, resting their energy to prepare to attack the city early in the morning. There were only a few teams of soldiers left in the camp still patrolling.

Zhao Ming and more than 20 people fell down the city with ropes and quietly touched the southeast. They were soon blocked by the Qing army's camp.

"General, what should I do now?" Wang Deshun's Adam's apple squirmed, swallowed his saliva, and looked extremely nervous.

The others behind them also looked around with tens of thousands of Qing troops in front of them, and more than 20 of them were about to pass through the camp, which was trembling to think about.

Zhao Ming didn't say anything, and in everyone's shocked eyes, he started to use his hands and broke the wooden fence as thick as his arms.

Wang Deshun swallowed his saliva, "Is this guy still a human?"

After a few strokes, Zhao Ming made a big hole and then got in first.

In the past few days, the rebels killed many Qing troops and obtained many Qing troops. In fact, they were the Ming troops and armor. Zhao Ming and others accompanied them to join the Qing army and entered the Qing army's camp.

At this time, they were walking through the camp and were about to leave the camp, but suddenly a team of people flashed out in front of them, and the general led the army shouted loudly: "Who dares to break into the important materials!"

Zhao Ming and others were hiding the patrol teams with torches all the way in the camp. They didn't expect that after wandering around, they actually arrived at a heavily guarded place.

Wang Deshun and others were shocked, and Zhao Ming narrowed his eyes, "We are patrolling!"

The boss on the opposite side pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, stared at Zhao Ming and others with a cold look, and said coldly: "Night number!"

Wang Deshun, Cheng Bi and others had sweat on their foreheads, their faces were ashamed, and they were panicked, "It's over, it's over, we have a big night call!"

Zhao Ming held his courage, looked calm and composed, and kept walking forward. The other party immediately drew his sword and roared, "Stop!"

"Your ancestor!" Zhao Ming suddenly drew his sword and rushed forward with a quick step, "I will deal with you, unfilial descendants for your ancestors."

"Someone touches the camp!" The leader immediately shouted, but then a cold light flashed and his neck cooled. His vision quickly became wider. His head was flying in the air. He saw the fierce man holding a knife slashing into his hands, as if he had entered a no-man's place.

In an instant, the head fell to the ground and saw his Qing soldiers scattering in surprise and their eyes fell into endless darkness.

"General, what should I do if I'm exposed!" Wang Deshun was so anxious that his forehead sweated.

"Since that's the case, then make a big deal to get into troubled waters!" Zhao Ming pulled up a torch without hesitation, threw a pile of flammable forage, and a fire suddenly ignited.

In the Qing army camp, there was a burst of exclamation. Liu Liangzuo, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly heard someone outside the tent report: "The general is not doing well, the enemy attacked the camp, and the baggage caught fire!"

Liu Liangzuo was shocked and hurriedly got up, roaring: "Go and put out the fire quickly and get me armor!"

On the other hand, Boluo was also awakened. The Southern Barbarians in Jiangyin City actually dared to leave the city, which surprised Boluo. These people are quite good at fighting.

Boluo put on his clothes and armor, walked out of the camp, and saw the fires rising into the sky in the Qing army camp, he was not worried. Anyway, the deaths were all Han people.
