At this time, I'm afraid no one will be merciful.

It was almost unwritten for the Northern Expedition Army to not keep the captives of Tartars, and the soldiers also had no energy to guard the captives because they wanted to attack!

The fleet of ferries sailing out of the canal to the south appeared on time when the last Tartar was stabbed to death by the river.

The fleet is very large, with more than a thousand ships.

All the ships in Huai'an Prefecture were requisitioned overnight, but fortunately, Huai'an Prefecture never lacked ferries and sailors.

In the former Daming Huaian and Dahe Guards, they all had their own shipbuilding stations and military workshops. Which merchants in Huai'an do not have ten, eight, and more than six hundred stone cargo ships?

The more than a thousand ferries were so large that even Wu Zheng, who had personally formed the three navy masters of Zhoushan, Wusong and Chenqian Mountain, was not only a surprise, but the fleet stretched for dozens of miles. In other words, it had reached the intersection with the Yellow River and had just left Huai'an Prefecture.

Under the orders, the soldiers on the shore began to board the ship, and the scene was in chaos.

There is no way, maintaining order at this time is a joke, even in later generations, even if the disciplined army is not possible.

The soldiers gathered along the coast. As long as a boat came, they would leave the musket in their hands on the shore and wading onto the boat. The urgency seemed to have countless gold and silver to pick up on the other side.

This made Wu Zheng, who had been watching, feel sad. Brothers, do you know what you are going to do?

....

It was finally bright.

The second wave of the Qing army's 5,000 people had already set off. When they reached the middle of the river, they had already discovered something was wrong on the other side.

At this time, at least more than 200 ships on the southern bank were filled with Northern Expedition soldiers, and it can be said that each was seriously overloaded.

In fact, Wu Zheng also saw this, and he also ordered Song An around him, "Go and stop them quickly. What if the ship capsizes when it reaches the heart of the river?"

Song An replied with a wry smile, "Young Master... At this time, even if you go to stop it yourself, it will not work... Besides, if the ship really overturns, it will be afraid that it will not drown them."

Wu Zheng was stunned, so he stopped talking.

Song An's words make sense. Compared with land combat and water combat, the Northern Expedition Army took a big advantage. Even if it was a little "unbearable", it was still a cheaper one.

If you don’t take advantage of it, you’re a bastard!

But this scene was not terrified to the Tartars in the river. They did not realize that they were not good at water.

On the contrary, they were excited that these southern barbarians were finally willing to duel head-on with us.

Perhaps, they knew that they were not good at water, but they died at the gunpoint of the Northern Expedition Army on the shore and did not even see the face of the Northern Expedition Army clearly. It would be better to face the battle head-on, even if they were dead, they would be happy.

No matter what the Tartars thought, their response was to accelerate the rushing towards the south bank.

This surprised Wu Zheng and the generals on the South Bank. It turns out that there is really no stingy in the world and not afraid of death?

Wu Zheng even asked Song An worriedly: "Is it because Dorgon has trained all the two flags under his command to become good water?"

Song An was also a little nervous, "Then... should the young master order to retreat and stop the attack?"

Wu Zheng's face changed and he raised his foot and kicked Song An in the ass, "You kid has been with me for so many years, and you can't even hear the right and wrong words? Can swimming be learned by the Northern Landrail in ten or eight days... Go and pass the order quickly, the forward will meet the enemy, launch an attack in advance, and there is no need to wait for the subsequent fleet."

Song An acted as a gesture to rub the kicked place and sent a command to the sound.

Lu Jincai and Yue Xiaolin, the two Wu Zheng, could not help but follow him, "Prince... When will we board the ship?"

Wu Zheng pointed to the river several miles wide and said leisurely: "There are enough people waiting for death, so let's cross the river!"

Lu Jincai and Yue Xiaolin were both stunned, but the reactions of the two were different.

Yue Xiaolin was more thoughtful than Lu Jincai, so he lowered his head to ponder Wu Zheng's words.

But Lu Jincai was a rash man. He asked carelessly: "What the prince means is that our army has died enough or the enemy has died enough before crossing the river?"

Wu Zheng turned around suddenly, glared at Lu Jincai, and cursed: "You're so full of food, you're so crazy? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

After saying that, he strides towards the shore.

Lu Jincai was scolded so much that the monk was confused. He raised his hand to touch the back of his neck and asked Yue Xiaolin: "Have I said the wrong thing?"

Yue Xiaolin replied angrily, "No, you took the wrong medicine!"

....

It's an unusual battle, no, battle.

Strictly speaking, this is a water battle, an unusual water battle.

It is said that it is unusual because water war generally refers to the battle between warships, but today's battle, there are almost no fighting between warships.

Compared with the more than 3,000 people who attacked the enemy in the first wave, the number of the second wave was nearly twice as high as 5,000 people.

Six thousand troops are also a force that cannot be abandoned even for a powerful dynasty.

What's more, the flag army, Dorgon's direct lineage, and the top of the Qing Dynasty.

Can it be abandoned easily?

Of course not!

In this battle, Dorgon was sick and had arrived in Pei County, but he was unable to go to the front line to command.

The deputy commander of the front line is named Chen Jin.

This is a Han man, but also a hardcore traitor.

His ancestral home is Jinzhou. During the Chongde (Huang Taiji), he voluntarily submitted to Qing Dynasty and awarded the title of Niulu Zhangjing, and added half of his future.

After the Han Army flag was established, it was awarded the Niulu Ezhen, the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.

In the first year of Shunzhi, the deputy director of the Inner Court was appointed as the governor of Denglai.

Then he pacified the uprising of Liu Zeqing, the former general of Qingzhou.

The following year, Zhang Guang, a civilian army, was wiped out in Laizhou.

For these two contributions, he was promoted to Governor General of Caojiang, and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Recruitment and Pacification, and was stationed in Jiangning (Yingtian Prefecture).

In the third year, Jiangning formed a rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty in secret, and was ordered by Chen Jin to close the city gate and search the whole city, and captured and killed more than 800 rebel army and implicated more than 800 people.

When reconciling the merits, the Qing court had already moved him to the Governor of Fujian, Zhejiang, but did not expect that Wu Zheng had to break through Hangzhou Prefecture and set up an ambush and injured Duoduo, and later repelled Duoduo's counterattack, forcing Duoduo to lead his army to "turn" along the Qiantang River.

Therefore, the way to the south was cut off, and Chen Jin, the "Governor of Zhejiang Fujian", had a name but no one could return to Shuntian Prefecture for a temporary "unemployment".

When he was extremely depressed in his unemployment, he joined Dorgon in order to regain his rank, becoming Dorgon's loyalty, in exchange for Dorgon's appreciation and regain power.

Dorgon did not treat him badly. Although he was the deputy general, the real command of the two banners under Dorgon and the tens of thousands of troops was actually given Chen Jin, a Han man, to command it. This is one of the few examples.

Chen Jin's official hat was indeed stained with the blood of countless Han people.

Therefore, he was more cruel to the Han people than to the Manchus. The Manchus wanted to enslave the Han people, and Chen Jin wanted to kill all the Han people he disliked.
