Chapter 509: The Great Water Almost Washed Over the Dragon King Temple
The flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and it was really a family who didn't know a family.
Fortunately, there was no filth, otherwise the injuries were in the hands of these rebels, and it was called an injustice.
When Sun Jiaji changed in Chun'an Town, he was disheartened by the current situation of the court and decided to return to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown Yuyao, he found that the Sun family had already died.
After asking the villagers, Sun Jiaji learned that after he and Xiong Rulin raised the banner against the Qing Dynasty and pulled a team to leave Yuyao, the Qing army occupied Yuyao soon after.
A squire surrendered and came out with Sun Jiaji.
So the Sun family was killed by the Qing army, including Sun Jiaji's widowed mother, wife, and a son and a daughter.
Sun Jiaji rekindled the fire of revenge in his heart, and began to gather the township party in Yuyao again, preparing to organize a group of men and horses to take revenge on the Qing army that had moved to Ningbo.
Sun Jiaji is famous, his grandfather is Sun Ruyou, a scholar of Dongge University during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also a ten-year jinshi of Chongzhen, so there is a call for mechanics, plus Shaoxing Mansion has been recovered, and Yuyao has no Qing army.
Soon, Sun Jiaji assembled a team of 1,000 people.
No, at this time, the mutation is reborn.
Originally, after Wu Zhengguang recovered Shaoxing Mansion, he adopted Fang Guoan's suggestion, with Wang Deren as the main general, Jin Shenghuan as the deputy general, and the troops sent to Ningbo Mansion, with Li Ruhai as the main general, and Chi Erhan as the deputy general, to attack Jinhua Mansion.
At this time, when the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion was almost completely annihilated, the two armies successfully occupied Erfu, and even the Jinhua defenders fled when they heard the news.
I didn't want the Qing army in Jinhua Mansion to see that the Ming army was strong, and after taking the initiative to withdraw from Jinhua Mansion, it entered Taizhou to the east, and joined the Qing army in Taizhou and the remnants of the Qing army that retreated from Ningbo Mansion, and then launched a counteroffensive against Ningbo Mansion.
Wang Deren and Jin Shenghuan had a dispute at this time, Wang Deren wanted to hold on, but Jin Shenghuan insisted on withdrawing the army, he thought that the Qing army was twice as strong as his own, and he didn't want his descendants to be lost in Ningbo Mansion.
As a result, the two had a violent quarrel, and finally Jin Shenghuan led his troops to retreat alone.
Wang Deren's troops were unable to support themselves, and after holding for two days, they could only retreat because of the great damage.
Ningbo was recaptured by the Ming army for less than ten days before it fell again, and the first to bear the brunt was Yuyao, which was adjacent to Shangyu.
Sun Jiaji brazenly led this team that had just been assembled to face the Qing army's vanguard in Yuyao, and lost most of it in the first battle.
After learning from the pain, Sun Jiaji understood that he could only return to the Qingtai Dynasty for revenge.
But the remnants of the command of many people could not bear to abandon, so more than 100 people crossed the sea by boat, because at this time the Qingtai Dynasty was fighting with the Qing army on the Yangtze River, so Sun Jiaji led people to land from Songjiang Mansion, and then through Taihu Lake to Yixing, Liyang, and then turned north, until Wu Zheng met.
Wu Zheng was shocked when he heard this, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren successively abandoned Ningbo Mansion, according to Sun Jiaji, this matter was five days ago, but why did the two not report to Hangzhou Mansion, and even Chen Sheng of Shaoxing Mansion did not report to him.
In any case, even Sun Jiaji had already met him, and the messenger from Shaoxing should have arrived earlier than Sun Jiaji.
Wu Zheng asked Sun Jiaji: "How many Qing troops are there in the Qing army that attacked Ningbo Mansion?" ”
"No less than 20,000 people."
No, Wu Zheng feels that something is wrong, the main force of the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion has been completely wiped out by himself, where are so many Qing troops in eastern Zhejiang?
Even if Taizhou, Jinhua, Ningbo and the prefecture capitals are added, the strength of the four prefectures will not exceed 10,000 people.
Moreover, the Qing army in Ningbo Prefecture was routed by the Li Ruhai Department instead of the whole army retreating first.
According to the strength of the Qing army deployed in eastern Zhejiang at that time, it was impossible to gather 20,000 people even if it was full.
Wu Zheng faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Danyang is close at hand, and Wu Zheng has no time to think about the abnormal situation in Ningbo Mansion.
……。
The reason why Wu Zheng chose to break through to Danyang was because there were foreign musketeers in Danyang, as well as musket recruits who survived the battle of Dantu that day.
At that time, Wu Zheng was saddened by the casualties of musket recruits, and insisted on transferring more than 1,000 musketeers to the rear of Danyang for repairs after the Battle of Dantu, and at the same time let foreign soldiers train them.
And this unintentional deployment at that time can be regarded as a solution to Wu Zheng's temporary crisis today.
Looking at the Danyang city wall, which was already visible, Wu Zheng let out a sullen breath.
This matter is too strange, and it is already an ironclad fact that there are spies in the court, which is not surprising, and Wu Zheng expected it.
Ying Tianfu was ruled by the Qing court for more than two years, and it was strange that there were no spies.
But it is surprising that the spy is at the top of the imperial court.
You must know that the courtiers of the Qingtai Dynasty who now hold great power have all traveled thousands of miles from Shaoxing Mansion.
This is also the reason why Wu Zheng never doubted that they would be bought by the Qing court.
Even if there were differences in political views and suspicions from time to time, Wu Zheng did not go to that side to speculate on their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Zheng was already reflecting in his heart at this time, this time the layout was likely to fail, using Dantu to attract the main force of the Qing army, landing in Jiangbei with a water division, and launching a second assault on Yizhen, which was originally a wonderful move.
There are a lot of Dantu troops, more than 2,000 people left before Wu Zheng, plus three or four thousand remnants of Xia Wanchun, and more than a dozen artillery pieces, it should not be difficult to defend against the strong attack of 10,000 Qing troops.
Once the Qing army's attack is frustrated, the Jiangbei Qing army will definitely reinforce it.
Because it is easy to cross the river to attack, but to cross the river and retreat, it will be difficult, once retreated, it will be bitten by the defenders, and when it really comes, I am afraid that seven or eight of the ten Qing troops will have to float on the river to feed fish and shrimp.
Even if Wu Sangui sees through this and ruthlessly breaks his arm to survive, I am afraid that Hong Chengchou will not agree.
Taking a step back, if the Qing army in Jiangbei is really ruthless and does not reinforce and can destroy the Qing army on Jiangxin Island, it will also be a strategic victory, so that the Ming army will not be able to face the threat of the Qing army on Jiangxin Island, that is to say, the Qing court has lost the best springboard to the south, and the situation of confrontation between the two armies across the river can be truly realized.
Another important point is that at the time of the victory in this battle, it is not a problem to capture thousands of Tartars and exchange them with Hong Chengchou for the remnants of the Zhenming army.
Wu Zheng's abacus is very loud, but in fact, as the saying goes, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
Wu Zheng did not take into account three points, one is that the important ministers in the court are spies of the Qing court, not to mention the bottom line of the negotiations of the Qingtai Dynasty, and he also encircled himself in a trap and was almost captured by the Qing cavalry, but this is not the most important, the important thing is the second point, Wu Zheng did not expect that the Qing army in Jiangbei would be desperate, and at the same time launched an all-out attack on Zhenjiang and Dantu, that is to say, the enemy was attracted, but what was attracted was the enemy pouring out, which was not something that the defenders of Zhenjiang and Dantu could bear, What's more, the Zhenjiang garrison was also transferred by Chen Zilong with thousands of people, and at this point, Wu Zheng made a mistake in decision-making.
The third point, which is also the point that Wu Zheng is most worried about and regrets, is the 10,000 soldiers of the Xingguo Gong's Renshui Division Assault Instrument.
