Once the main force of the Qing army went south, 100,000 flag soldiers were in charge of the rebels in Jiangnan, Jiangyin and Taihu, they were all dangerous. Therefore, before the main force of the Qing army arrived, they must all be transferred underground and hidden in lakes and rural areas, so that the Qing army could not find it before they could survive.

If they still defend the city, the main force of the Qing army would inevitably be destroyed when they arrived, so it was time to save Jiangyin.

Of course, if you just hide, you will be able to be destroyed by the Qing army in the end. So in addition to hiding, the rebels also need to seize the right time to fight back.

When to hide and when to fight back, the leaders of the rebel army need to make a judgment.

Zhao Ming looked at everyone, "What I mean is to send someone to inform Zhejiang and Fujian to prepare early, and we took advantage of Duoduo's arrival to make a big fuss, seize food, and then hide in lakes and mountains. The main force of the Qing army arrived in Jiangnan, and Duoduo's army could not find us, so they would inevitably lead their troops south. After the Qing army headed south, Jiangnan was empty, so we would take advantage of the opportunity to fight. At that time, the official army got our news and was ready, and we attacked Duoduo's rear road. Duoduo was in a dilemma and would inevitably retreat."

Wu Yi said: "What about Duoduo's retreat?"

According to Zhao Ming's intention, Zhejiang East only needs to defend and not defeat the Qing army. The Jiangnan rebel army raided the Qing army's rear, causing the Qing army to retreat.

This has lowered the requirements for the Zhejiang-eastern government troops, and the people of Jiangyin can still hold on for several months. The Lu governor's troops should not have any problems if they defend for a period of time.

As long as the Qing army could not capture for a while and the rear was threatened again, Duoduo would inevitably retreat. However, after the Qing army retreated, 100,000 flag soldiers would be in charge of Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan rebel army would be encircled and suppressed.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Then we will burrow into the mountains and forests again!"

Wu Yi frowned slightly, "Boan means to hide it again?"

Zhao Ming nodded, "Yes, the main force of the Qing army returned to the aid, so we hid it. As soon as they left, we came out again! I told him to advance and retreat in this strategy, and the enemy went away and I disturbed me!"

Wu Yi thought about Zhao Ming's eight-character strategy and his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "The meaning of Bo'an is that the Qing army goes south, we will leave, and when the Qing army comes back, we will hide. After doing this a few times, the southern official army was trained, and we have been through a long battle formation, while the Qing army was trapped and there was no chance to reverse the situation."

Wu Yi narrowed his eyes. Zhao Ming's method was quite vulgar, but it was very suitable for the rebel army.

Hou Dongzeng said: "If this is the case, we must prepare enough food to hide and afford to consume!"

Wu Yi said: "So we must take down Suzhou and seize the food and grass of the Qing army!"

Zhao Ming said: "Not only that, we need to let the golden sound of Huizhou. Jiang Tian attacked Ningguo Mansion and sent operators to promote righteousness at the junction of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and release the wind. The Tiandihui will cooperate with the Lu Jianguo in Zhejiang to restore Hangzhou, direct Boluo's attention to the south, and create opportunities for the navy to rescue Jiangyin. Jiangyin raised the first righteous flag and rescued the Jiangyin defenders. The morale of the Jiangnan Yishi was greatly boosted. At that time, we would definitely respond to the rush of Jiangnan, which would mobilize the people of Jiangnan, and make the countryside our world. Only in this way can we have a steady supply and be able to consume it."

Cheng Bi went to eastern Zhejiang alone and took Zheng Sen's token to Zhoushan Island. The island's guard Huang Binqing was the general conferred by Emperor Longwu and had agreed to lead the fleet to pick up Zheng Sen.

A few days ago, Cheng Bi had news, but Zhao Ming didn't know how to rescue him.

Li Yuanyin's arrival gave Zhao Ming an opportunity. Suzhou is a big city in Jiangnan. If it can be attacked, it will inevitably shock Jiangnan and attract Boluo's attention, so that he will have the opportunity to rescue Jiangyin.

...

In August, the Jiangyin defenders had been holding on for more than two months, and with the arrival of Kong Youde and Shen Zhixiang, Jiangyin finally ushered in its final moment.

After the Han army's Zhenghong Banner and Zhengbai Banner arrived in Jiangyin, they immediately set up red barbarian cannons to bomb the city. The cannons bombarded for nearly ten days, and finally collapsed a large section of Jiangyin City.

Only when the people of Jiangyin lean on the city wall can they withstand the Qing army's attack. Now that the city wall collapses and the Qing army rushes into the city, the people will definitely not be the opponents of the Qing army, and the city is doomed to fall.

The Red Cannons were originally a powerful weapon for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Qing Dynasty, but Kong Youde and others invested in the Qing Dynasty, causing the Ming Dynasty to lose this advantage.

In the past, the Ming army was not good at field battles, and they could defend the city by relying on artillery to bombard the Qing army. However, the Qing army had no choice but to use the Red and Barbarian cannons, but the Ming army had no choice but to have the advantage left by the Ming army. If they could not defeat the field battles, they could not defend the city, so they were completely passive.

Jiangyin City was collapsed by the Zhenghong Banner, and the city fell. Just in front of you, Boluo exhaled a sigh of anger in the large tent of the Qing army's central army.

A small Jiangyin city has been blocked by him for more than two months. If he can't take it, he really can't see anyone.

Fortunately, all this is finally coming to an end.

After the shaving order, rebellions continued in Jiangnan, which made Boluo very worried. As long as Jiangyin was destroyed, it would be able to attack the arrogance of the rioters.

Prince Yu's troops are coming soon. He must eliminate the rebellious forces in Jiangnan before the main force of the Qing army arrives, and cannot affect Prince Yu's southern expedition.

The Qing court did not expect that if Boluo could handle the chaos in Jiangnan, then his father Abatai would be proud in front of the court, and Boluo would also become the most shining star among the third generation of Manchuria!

With such a temptation, how could Boluo not do his best to drive Jiangyin City away?

"The city wall has collapsed for a long time, and the chaotic people in the city are building up soil to defend the streets, but I don't think they can hold on for long." King Kong Youde of Gongshun talked and laughed, and he really showed his face this time.

Liu Liangzuo had been attacking for several months and could not capture it. As soon as the red flag arrived, Jiangyin was shaking, which really gave him a face.

"Seeing Jiangyin City can not only crack down on the arrogance of the rioters, but also free up 100,000 troops. It will not be difficult to eliminate other rioters at that time!" Shen Zhixiang also smiled.

Boluo, who was sitting in the upper head, was slashing the pork head with a knife. After hearing the two of them, he laughed out loudly and said with a rare slight laugh: "Yes, when the enemy in Jiangyin is cleared, I will be able to free up more than 100,000 troops. At that time, the Taihu water thief will be no longer a problem."

"Of course Beile is right. A group of unruly people who are trying to compete with the Qing Dynasty are simply seeking death!"

Boluo brought a large piece of fat and oily pork to his mouth, took a bite, suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "By the way, is there any news about that Zhao Ming and Zhao Boan?"

Zhao Ming left a deep impression on Boluo. This man had to do something every once in a while. Now he didn't hear about him, so he was really not used to it.

"I don't know, it seems that I'm still making small fuss in Taihu Lake, and it won't be a climate!" Liu Liangzuo said.

Boluo smiled when he heard this, and was about to eat and drink, but suddenly he saw a general hurriedly step into the tent, and without saying hello, he threw himself straight to Boluo. He came to him and bent down, and whispered.
