In February 1653, at a gloomy noon, the Hai'an Brigade of the Han and Tang Groups launched an attack on the city of Hangzhou, and the troops were divided into two routes.

They took advantage of the high tide and went up the Qiantang River.

They didn't say hello beforehand, and they didn't care about the frightened fishing boats on the river and the pedestrians running back and forth on the riverbank, so they swaggered towards the city of Hangzhou.

The action is really brutal and rough.

In the current time and space, the siltation of the Qiantang River is also very strict, and with the help of high tide, it may be possible to pass hundreds of tons of sea vessels. But this depth is not more than 1,000 tons, this is specially tested by the special agents, and the Haian team members who are familiar with Hangzhou City have also introduced it.

Their logistical support ships had to be anchored in the waters of the estuary, and they were all whales of thousands of tons.

Above them, all the personnel were dispersed to other warships, except for those who were necessary to stay behind.

At this time, the two sailboats began to show their skills, they were brisk and steady, like two little rascals, with two teams of thugs, rushing to their respective targets.

Of course, the Hai'an Brigade of the Hantang Group had a general understanding of the basic structure of Hangzhou City.

The construction of the city wall in Hangzhou reached its peak when Zhao Gou went to Hangzhou to establish the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, a large number of city walls were built, of course, to save lives and resist the invasion of Jin soldiers.

When Zhao Gou first came to Hangzhou, he was still very poor, so he could only set the palace on Phoenix Mountain, first, the scenery here was good, and secondly, this was the commanding heights of Hangzhou at that time, which was convenient for him to control the whole city.

Zhao Gou was completely cost-effective and labor-saving, and built on the ruins of the imperial palace of earlier dynasties, when there were only three gates in the entire inner city of the imperial palace: Hening Gate, Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate.

In that side of the world, you can still find the remains of the city wall at that time in the area of Wansong Academy.

As the capital at that time, Hangzhou's population doubled, so it had to expand the urban area outward.

There are 13 dry city gates and 5 water city gates in the outer city walls of Hangzhou. The east city tower of the dry city gate has the door, the tide gate, the security gate, the new door, the Chongxin gate, the Dongqing gate, and the Genshan gate; The city tower on the south side has the Jiahui Gate; The city tower on the north side has Yuhang Gate; There are Qianhu Gate, Qingbo Gate, Fengyu Gate and Qiantang Gate in the west.

In addition, there are five water gates, namely Baoan, Nanshui, Beishui, Tianzong, and Yuhang.

Why was the Water Gate built in particular?

This is not only for the needs of customs and defense, but also for the needs of domestic water, water conservancy and irrigation and boat transportation in the city.

In ancient times, the river in Hangzhou was passed through the guò water gate out of the city, and this time and space made the Hantang Group happy that the Qiantang River, the West Lake, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal were actually connected!

What a fascinating water system it is! Even if they have to dredge it again in the future, if their small and medium-sized sea vessels can enter freely...... How wonderful.

After the death of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty explicitly prohibited the construction of city walls, and many of the 21 city walls in Hangzhou were destroyed.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the warlord Zhang Shicheng occupied Hangzhou, so he replaced and abolished some city gates, and the city gates of Hangzhou became 13: Qingbo Gate, Yongjin Gate, Qiantang Gate, Yuhang Gate, Hening Gate, Qingping Gate, Tianchong Gate, Beixin Gate, Genshan Gate, Qingchun Gate, Qingtai Gate, Yongchang Gate, and Houchao Gate.

The Hai'an Brigade of the Hantang Group took a photocopy of an ancient children's drawing map, and went directly to Hangzhou City, you can't expect any correct distance ratio and correct direction on it, a qiē is approximate.

At the beginning, combined with the information sent back by the agents, they made a plan to attack Wangjiangmen and Houchaomen directly from the Qiantang River, but a member of the Haian team said that they could also divide a team to capture Qingchunmen, which is a commercial area with many docks, and he has been there by sea ship before.

The Hai'an Brigade carefully studied it, and after clarifying that most of the sea ponds in the Wangjiangmen and Houchaomen wharf areas were built out of large stones, it was decided not to consider Qingchunmen for the first time, and it was better not to harass the commercial area, and to use it as a battlefield.

Of course, this qiē will be talked about when the time comes, and a qiē is still approximate.

After making a relatively complete plan at that time, Sun Yu, the captain of the Haian Brigade, took off his hat, crossed his scalp and said: "Hehe, what kind of plan is this we made, it will make people laugh when it is passed out." ”

Kong Mingming, the captain of the Haian Marine Corps, said disdainfully: "Whoever can make reasonable arrangements on the ancient map, I will call him Big Brother!" ”

Therefore, this battle has always been a battle to be talked about when the time comes.

According to the information sent back by the secret service members, the Tartars did not directly arrange for their own men to guard the city gates, and their original army was stationed on the edge of the West Lake, where they circled a large area of land as a military camp.

After their army set out, the 3,000 to 4,000 men and horses they left behind were at the mercy of a scattered group.

The main force, about two thousand men and horses, remained in the original barracks, and they picked the best place to live.

The rest is basically a few everywhere, basically in some important places.

The agents calculated that it would take about half an hour for their main force to get from the barracks to the city gates.

Before the war, they had two options in their plan, one was to attack the docks directly and then annihilate the Tartars in the city of Hangzhou, which was designed with a clear purpose and a simple process.

Closed city gates are all annihilated, they can't do it, thirteen city gates, it's a headache to think about it.

The second is to set the battlefield in the dock area to attract the Tartars out of the city.

Even if they were to close the gates and concentrate on defense, the Haian Brigade could feint and attack the city wall, which was less than seven meters high, so that the Tartars could also be attracted to the designated place.

This design minimizes damage to the city and avoids possible street fighting.

But the process is a bit more complicated, and it also requires good coordination between the two fleets.

Captain Bowie, who was the logistics captain and staff officer, strongly supported the second option, saying:

"The second is the most reasonable. Whether the Tartars could go out of the city to fight or go to the city walls to defend the city depended on whether they could afford to lose the city.

You've all seen their military discipline requirements, right? If you lose this city, their officers will die! Therefore, the Tartars' motivation to fight is very strong!

In addition, we have two divisions, a total of 3,500 marines, and once separated, we will have 1,650 ...... each."

Captain Kong Mingliang immediately corrected in a low voice: "It's 1,750 ......."

Captain Bowie said strangely, "Yes, 1,750?" Then, in the eyes of the Tartars, there are only these people, and they will not be afraid of us, so whether they go out of the city to fight, or concentrate on defending the city, it is certain, just right, we can go ashore a little slower and arrange ......"

In the end, everyone agreed with him because it was very convincing.

They don't have to show weakness, it's really just these people.

At noon on this day, the tide of the Qiantang River rose as promised, and they rushed into the mouth of the river rudely and savagely.

According to members of the maritime security team who have been here, they will go up for more than an hour, about three to five kilometers.

The two sailboats lowered their sails and reduced their sailing speed.

In this way, the two fleets of sailing ships behind them could barely keep up with the help of the north wind.

Captain Sun Yu and others were using binoculars to observe both sides of the Qiantang River.

Captain Bao Wei said, "You see, the land south of the Qiantang River is really desolate...... In later generations, a little bit of reclamation, a little bit of development, there is the famous Xiaoshan......"

Captain Bao Wei is actually a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang, after retiring from the army, he did some small business, the most wonderful business was to sell BP machine-type money detector, nine yuan to buy goods, he sold to twenty yuan, and sold thousands of units at once.

After that, it wasn't so good, in his words, there were too many similar businesses.

At this time, he put down his binoculars, pointed to the tidal flats on the north bank of the Qiantang River, and said: "Look, if there is no sea pond, even if we have an assault boat to go up, we will have to walk hundreds of meters of mud, and it will be very difficult to walk......

Captain Sun Yu said, "This tide hasn't risen to the highest level, has it?" Can the river overflow? ”

Captain Bowie said: "I remember coming here when I was a child, and I came in at high tide, and I saw such tidal flats at that time...... It looks like it's a long way to go......"

All kinds of small fishing boats on the Qiantang River were frightened, some of them were swinging their oars quickly, some adjusting their sails, and desperately leaning on the river bank, as if they could come to grab them.

The two fleets ignored them and kept moving towards the goal guided by the maritime security team!

After the fall of Nanjing by the Tatars, Zhejiang bore the brunt of the attack and was the next target.

After they quickly took Hangzhou, they formed a stalemate with the remnants of the Ming army of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, for a while.

In August 1645, King Lu once attacked Hangzhou, but failed.

In November of this year, Lu Jian Guo Jin named Fang Guoan as the Duke of Yue Guo, Wang Zhiren as the Duke of Xingguo, and built an altar to worship Fang Guoan as a general to control the army.

On 19 December, Zhu Yihai personally went to Xixing on the banks of the Qiantang River to reward the army, and each soldier was rewarded with two coins of silver, "to cross the river and capture Hangzhou."

On the 24th, Fang Guoan, Ma Shiying, and Wang Zhiren sent three general soldiers to lead more than 20,000 troops to cross the river from Zhuqiao, Fancun, and Liuheta in Wugu to Zhangjiashan, Wuyun Mountain, Bapanling and other places, approaching the capital city of Hangzhou.

Zhang Cunren, the governor of the Tartars, and Mele Zhangjing, Zhu Mala, Ji Xiha, Hetuo, the general soldier Tian Xiong, Zhang Jie and other troops divided their troops to meet the attack in three directions, and the Ming army was defeated, with 11 deputy generals captured, and 48 generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, and garrisons.

After the failure of this battle to cross the river and attack Hangzhou, the ambition of the generals of the Lu Jianguo regime suddenly disappeared and slowly withdrew from the Ming Continent.

After this, Zhang Cunren, the governor of the Tartars, attacked the Southern Ming forces several times and became famous.

Then he called himself sick and returned home.

But history has changed here, at this time, due to the unexpected rise of Zheng Cai, the puppet Yongsheng Bo of Fujian, he disrupted the Tartar step-by-step appointment, the original governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, had to take charge of Zhejiang, and the original governor's office had to be moved from Quzhou to Hangzhou. It is in the strategic defensive phase.

The Tartars reactivated Zhang Cunren and appointed Meljangjing Jumala as a military assistant.

Last year, Zhang Cunren died of illness in office, and Mele Zhangjing Jumala temporarily grasped the military and political affairs, until the king of Pingnan and the king of Xuanjing County were come.

Meljangjing Jumala fully cooperated with the military work of King Pingnan and King Doni of Xuanjing County.

He gained the trust of the king of Pingnan and the king of Xuanjing County, Doni, and left him with the elite to defend the city.

At noon on this day, he comfortably finished his lunch and let people build a charcoal stove.

The air humidity in Hangzhou in winter is high, and the indoor temperature is low, which naturally seems a little humid and a little cloudy, so it becomes unusually cold.

This seems to have become a rule, because of the wet, because of the damp and damp, because of the tide and yin, because of the yin and cold.

Rain, tide, wetness, cloudiness and cold have become an indisputable chain of Hangzhou's winter life, and it has also become an irresistible pain in Hangzhou's life.

In fact, he himself believes that compared with this cold in Hangzhou, it is far less good than the dry cold in the north.

In his hometown in the north, Melerzhangjing Jumala is happy to go outside in winter and exercise in the cold wind

It's different in Hangzhou, where the eerie cold has a pain that pierces the bone marrow.

Especially in the dark night, covered with a thick quilt, I still can't feel the warmth I deserve, and I always feel that there is a cold air in the quilt, Yan zhòng said, this cold air is the cold that penetrates a qiē and penetrates into the skin and invades the bone marrow, as if the cold air is the kind of cold that runs between the skin and flesh, until the next day, the skin and flesh on the body are painful and very uncomfortable.

How can this be endured? There were a few cold leg cramps in the middle of the night, and the pain made Meljangjing Jumala so painful that he had to press a thick blanket or regenerate a charcoal stove......
