At the end of September, Zhu Cihong confirmed the news from the Korean envoys, believing that the Manchu Qing was indeed divided, and analyzed the strength of the Qing army, and found that Dolgon's troops and horses were already overstretched, and most of the 150,000 troops in Lianghuai and Shandong were surrendered by the Ming Dynasty, so he decisively decided to send troops.

In recent years, the Qing army mainly fought against the Western Wei Dynasty, and the elite soldiers were all deployed on the Western Front, while most of the men and horses on the Southern Front were the original Jiangbei Ming Army.

These soldiers and horses, except for Xuzhou Town, which has a strong combat power, the rest are just local chickens and dogs.

At this time, the Manchu Qing sent an envoy over again, promising the land of Lianghuai to instigate the Ming army to attack Wei, which made the Ming court further think that the Manchu Qing were weak-minded.

In view of the fact that Huang Taiji and the Ming Dynasty negotiated peace that year, the Ming Dynasty was put together.

Zhu Cihong proposed to receive the two Huai first, but the Manchu envoy was vague, which strengthened Zhu Cihong's determination to send troops.

This time, he not only had to send troops, but also overshadowed the Western Wei in the limelight.

To this end, Nanjing quickly formulated a plan, contacted the old generals of the Ming Dynasty, promised to be a high-ranking official, and instigated Jiang Xiang to occupy Hedong and block Gao Yihuan's eastward expedition, and then the Ming army quickly collected Lianghuai and Shandong with the help of Neiying, and Beizhili was in the bag.

On September 28, after Zhu Cihong worshiped the tomb of filial piety, he directly crossed the river to the north.

Before that, the Ming army had already begun to act, first the 20,000 river waterproof division, rushed into the Huaijiang River, outflanked the back road of the Qing army on the south bank of the Huaijiang River, and then the Ming army in Jiangbei and Wuchang Zuozhen, and the troops were divided into three routes for the Northern Expedition.

100,000 soldiers and horses in Zuozhen, attacked Shouzhou, Yingchuan, Huoqiu, and then went north to seize Bozhou and Guide, Huang Degong 50,000 soldiers and horses, out of Hefei to collect Fengyang, Sizhou, Gao Ming 100,000 troops, out of Yangzhou, captured Huai'an, and then joined forces with Huang Degong to collect Xuzhou and enter Shandong.

Zhu Cihong, under the escort of 30,000 Japanese troops, followed behind the three-way army to boost the morale of the Ming army.

At the beginning of October, the official road in Jiangbei was full of soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, as well as people escorting supplies.

Although the Qing army had been prepared against the Ming army, most of the green battalion soldiers in the rogue Jiangbei were grass on the wall, and the wind blew on both sides, which still caused the rapid collapse of the Qing army's defense line.

When the Jiangbei Qing army moved south in Azig, they surrendered to the Manchus in droves, but after surrendering to the Manchus, the Manchus failed to destroy Nanjing.

When they were the Ming army, they were the elite of the four towns and the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, but after they defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they became the lowest-ranking green battalion soldiers.

The Ming army made a multi-way northern expedition, Huang Degong was the fastest all the way, killed to Fengyang in three days, and with the help of Neiying, he broke the city in one day, beheaded the rebel general Tian Xiong, and the rebel Ma Degong only led more than 1,000 tragic soldiers to flee north to Xuzhou.

Gao Mingyu all the way, but also all the way like a bamboo, the army is approaching the city of Huai'an. Seeing that the situation was not good, seeing that Huai'an was about to be surrounded, he handed Huai'an over to Tong Tulai and Jin Li to guard, and he withdrew across the Huaijiang River overnight and retreated to Xuzhou to organize the second line of defense.

Among the three roads, only Zuozhen 1st Road, something went wrong, and Zuo Liangyu died of illness on the road not long after he left Wuchang.

Zhu Cihong let Zuo Mengeng attack the lord, and appointed the scholar Jiang Yueguang to supervise the division, and the left army continued to go north after a short stop in Shouzhou.

In the past two years, Zuozhen's strength has further declined, and after Nanjing trained the forbidden army, money, food, and ordnance were piled up on the forbidden army, and it was difficult for Zuozhen to have food and clothing.

With the increasing number of soldiers and horses in Nanjing, Zuozhen could not support the army and respect itself, when Zhu Cihong transferred Zuozhen out of Wuchang in the name of the Northern Expedition, Zuozhen could only obey Nanjing's orders.

This is because Nanjing already has the ability to clean up Zuozhen, and second, Zuozhen really can't stay in Wuchang.

Wuchang's people's strength has been exhausted, and the soldiers of Zuozhen have not changed their armor for several years, have not been issued shoes, have not eaten enough, do not move their nests, and have no to eat.

In mid-October, in less than half a month, the Ming army quickly cleared the Qing army's stronghold on the south bank of the Huaijiang River and completed the encirclement of Huai'an.

On the south bank of the entire Huaijiang River, only the hard bone of Huai'an remained, and the Ming army besieged the city on three sides and prepared to attack.

At this point, Nanjing has completed the goal of the first stage, and the collection of Huainan has become a foregone conclusion.

This made Zhu Cihong's confidence soar, and he did not follow the army, but rushed to Huai'an City, ready to personally command the army to attack the city.

In the early morning of October 15, nearly 200,000 Ming troops had been assembled outside Huai'an City, and the naval warships on the river and the Ming army artillery on land roared in unison, and nearly 100 Hongyi cannons smashed Huai'an City.

Hongyi cannons smashed cannonballs one after another into the city wall, and the masonry on the city cracked, leaving deep pits one after another.

At this time, the artillery of the Ming army roared, and the cannonballs roared and smashed into the city wall, and the wall exploded small flowers composed of stones and dust, and smashed into the moat, and a column of water immediately splashed in the river.

In a moment, Huai'an City was bombarded by hundreds of iron bullets, and the entire section of the city wall was shrouded in smoke and dust in an instant, and the Qing army on the city suddenly screamed again and again.

Huai'an City, facing the Huaijiang River in the north and the canal in the west, the Qing army mainly defended the southeast and southeast sides.

At this time, the city wall was full of gunsmoke, and the person responsible for the defense of the southern city was the red flag and the real gold on the mountain, he was dressed in red armor, and was guarded by several soldiers, standing on the city wall, and the Qing soldiers of the brigade next to him were running, and in the artillery fire, all kinds of materials were carried on the city wall.

Under the shelling of the Ming army, the city wall was already a mess, and there were wounded and wailing wounded soldiers everywhere.

At this time, Jin Li led a group of generals, walked through and on, walked to the edge of the city wall, saw the Ming soldiers, who were out of the camp and lined up, gritted his teeth and said: "Go and let Xu Dingguo send 3,000 people to the southern city!" ”

Outside the city, the Ming soldiers formed a formation according to their duties.

Their newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the soldiers of all departments are full of spirits and are ready to gnaw the hard bone of Huai'an.

Suddenly, there was a cheer in the military array, and Zhu Cihong's Huangluo umbrella cover and the honor guard of the Son of Heaven appeared in the eyes of the soldiers.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Without the generals taking the lead, the military formation erupted in a tsunami-like cheers, which made Zhu Cihong even more excited, and the whole person rode a war horse, as if he was drunk, and constantly raised his horsewhip in response to the soldiers.

Everywhere Zhu Cihong, who was wearing gold armor, passed, the soldiers of the Ming army all paid attention to salute and shouted, which made people's blood boil.

Zhu Cihong wandered for a while and returned to the Chinese army, when the war drums beat up, Huang Degong waved his war knife forward violently, and shouted loudly: "Attack!" ”

The Ming army outside Huai'an City suddenly swarmed towards Huai'an City like a flood that burst out of the embankment.

In Beijing, the regent's residence, officials and officials went in and out in a bit of a panic, sending all kinds of news to Dolgon.

At this time, in Dolgon's study, Dolgon threw a beating report on the ground, and easily smashed a bucket of chicken bowls in the Chenghua years.

As soon as the news came from Azig, it was difficult to get down to Pujin Pass quickly, and the news came from Nikan's side that Zhu Cihong drove his own expedition and swept 300,000 troops south of the Huaijiang River.

Now that Huai'an is besieged and Nikan retreats to Xuzhou, the situation on the southern front has become critical.

Zhu Cihong, a stinky boy who has not dried up, actually dared to take the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty, it was simply beyond his strength, and he was purely looking for death. However, Dolgon couldn't draw up troops to teach Zhu Cihong, who didn't know the height of the sky, a lesson, which made Dolgon furious

Hong Chengchou, who was standing on the side, waited for Dolgon to finish venting, he couldn't help but stand up, knelt on the ground, and said bitterly, "Lord, I am fighting on two fronts in the Qing Dynasty, and my troops are stretched, and the prince is defending everywhere, so there are not enough troops everywhere." The prince has to make a choice! ”
