On March 2 of the second year of Longwu, Chen Zilong gathered more than 1,000 boats and 15,000 righteous troops and rushed to Suzhou.

On March 3, the vanguard of the Taihu Rebel Army attacked Yu Shizhong and killed under the city of Suzhou.

As soon as Duoduo issued an order, he ordered the Seven-Way Army to sweep eastern Zhejiang, and Chen Zilong attacked Suzhou, which really annoyed him.

As soon as his army retreated, the Taihu Righteous Army began to attack the states and counties controlled by the Qing Army, he sent troops to relieve the siege, and the Taihu Righteous Army escaped into the vast Taihu Lake again, making him tired of coping with the Qing Army.

The rebels have not attacked Suzhou once or twice, if it was in the past, Duoduo could not be saved, but this time in the city of Suzhou, there are 500,000 stone of grain that the Qing court is preparing to transport to Huguang.

Suzhou City was lost, and the Qing soldiers could fight back, but the food was gone, and he couldn't muster so much military food for a while.

In the north under the rule of the Qing court, the plague of the rogue has been plagued for many years, and the entry of the Qing soldiers into the customs is another scourge, and the people's livelihood has long withered, and the grain grown is not enough for the north to consume.

The land south of the Yangtze River was originally rich and the land of fish and rice, but since the Qing soldiers went south in April last year, the war has been continuous, and the harvest of last year is basically over.

This year's seeds are just ready to be planted, and if you want to harvest grain, you have to hold out until summer and autumn at the earliest, so in the next few months, it will be difficult for the Qing soldiers to obtain a large amount of rice grain.

The grain and grass in Suzhou City were extremely important to the Qing court's war situation in Huguang, so Duoduo must not watch the grain and grass fall into the hands of the righteous army, but Duoduo was unwilling to change his plan to sweep eastern Zhejiang.

In the military tent, Duoduo walked back and forth, weighing in his heart for a while, and only after a while did he call a henchman into the tent, "Quickly order Wu Song to supervise Wu Shengzhao and order him to rescue Suzhou, this king does not require him to defeat Chen Zilong, as long as he can contain the thief army and not break through Suzhou." ”

Wu Shengzhao has more than 10,000 Qing soldiers in his hands, plus Yang Chengzu's troops, and the original defenders of Suzhou, the strength of the Qing army is close to 20,000, which is comparable to the strength of the Taihu Righteous Army, but the equipment of the Qing army is better than that of the righteous army, and it is still the defensive side.

And even if Suzhou was broken by the rebels and took away his rice grain, only he could sweep eastern Zhejiang, slaughter a few cities at will, and get a lot of rice grain, so he was slightly relieved and led the soldiers and horses to prepare to cross the river.

The Seven Route armies set off separately, and Duoduo crossed the river from the line of Liuhe Tower, Fuyang, and Yanzhou.

At this time, Duoduo was originally going to collect boats, but he soon found that the river, which seemed to be nearly ten battles wide, was actually close to exhaustion.

Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province, the water is abundant over the years, but this year it is close to exhaustion, the Qing camp immediately spread out, the Qing Dynasty Ming, this inheritance of the will of heaven also.

These rumors were naturally spread by Duoduo, but the effect was indeed very obvious, and the morale of the Qing army was more than doubled again.

Just when Duoduo's army arrived at the Liuhe Tower, Fang Guoan also led the soldiers and horses to the south bank of the Qiantang River.

At this time, he had already seen the Qing soldiers bathing in the river and washing the war horses, which suddenly made his mood fall to the bottom, Xia Wanchun's words were true, and the Qing soldiers could really jump into the water.

For a while, Fang Guo's peace of mind was chaotic, and without the Qiantang natural insurance, how should this river defense be defended?

At this time, he summoned the Jiang defense general, and immediately roared angrily: "The river has dried up to this point, why don't you report it?" ”

Chen Xueguan, the general of Jiangfang, explained resignedly: "The general is angry, the last general sees that it has entered the spring rain season, thinking that it will rain soon, and the last general did not expect that the Qing soldiers will suddenly kill, the last general~~"

"A military event, what do you think?" Fang Guoan was furious, pulled out his waist knife, and stabbed Chen Xueguan directly in the abdomen, and said angrily: "You have ruined the great affairs of the general, and it is not a pity to die." ”

After Fang Guoan killed the chief officer of the river defense, he hurriedly took out 20,000 horses from Shaoxing to guard the precarious river defense.

At this time, Xia Wanchun got in touch with the Heaven and Earth Society in Shaoxing City, and then learned that Duoduo divided into seven armies and swept eastern Zhejiang, but Fang Guoan wanted to transfer Shaoxing soldiers and horses to guard the river defense that could not be held at all, and he suddenly sighed in his heart.

In the palace of King Lu, Xia Wanchun admonished again, "Your Highness, Duoduo came in seven ways, thousands of miles of river defense, one was broken, and the whole line was collapsed."

At this time, it is really unwise to guard the river! The minister thought that instead of resisting its seven roads, it was better to gather the troops of the river defense and surround it all the way. As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt its five fingers. As long as His Royal Highness sticks to Shaoxing, and then lets the Duke of Yue and the Duke of Xingguo lead their troops outside, and break through them one by one with superior forces, the current situation in eastern Zhejiang may not be irreversible! ”

When Uncle Zhang Guojun heard this, he reprimanded again: "Son, dare to talk about military affairs? When the two armies face each other, there is no reason to let the enemy enter the country. Your Royal Highness, the river defense can not be abandoned, once the river defense is abandoned, the Qing soldiers can drive straight in, arrive at the city of Shaoxing, the son of this is to put His Royal Highness in danger, his heart can be punished. ”

King Lu listened to Zhang Guojun's words, and he naturally didn't dare to let the Qing soldiers surround him in the city, and he didn't want to accept Xia Wanchun's words.

On March 7, Duoduo commanded the troops and horses, crossed the river in a big way, and in the direction of Yanzhou, Bellebolo broke through first, and soon after, the defense line deployed by Fang Guoan on the south bank of the Qiantang River suddenly collapsed, and the Qing army's seven armies all crossed the Qiantang River.

There are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang, but the quality of these soldiers and horses is not at all a grade compared with the Qing soldiers.

After the defeat of Hangzhou last year, the Lu Wang's regime of 100,000 horses, only more than 40,000 people withdrew to the south bank, and the huge sense of crisis after the defeat made the Lu Wang's regime desperately expand the army by more than 100,000, so that the soldiers and horses reached 200,000, but it is not just to pick up arms, put on the battle robe can be called the army.

The vast majority of the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang could only be regarded as farmers who took up arms.

The rout of Jiangfang is inevitable in Xia Wanchun's eyes.

At this time, the defeated soldiers of the front line returned to Shaoxing one after another, and the soldiers and horses in the city increased to 30,000 people, Xia Wanchun persuaded King Lu to kick the city to boost morale, and then quickly asked Fujing for help, but King Lu heard that Duoduo was approaching Shaoxing, and left Shaoxing that night under the escort of the guard Zhang Mingzhen.

The next day, Duoduo received the news and personally commanded the pursuit of his soldiers and horses.

After the defeat of the Duke of Yue, he led 7,000 soldiers and horses back to Shaoxing, and halfway through, he heard that the king of Lu had abandoned the city and fled, and immediately surrendered to the Qing court.
