At this time, it is naturally too late to send troops.

Chen Yan is the rat poop in the broth pot, although it looks inconspicuous, but a pot of good soup has been harmed, and just a letter bought the Shandong governor Fang Dayou and the Shandong general Liu Zeqing at the same time. Shandong is not better than other places, in addition to Zhili, Shandong is close to Beijing, and I don't want Shanxi, Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, there are Taihang Mountains to block, from Beijing to Shandong is a horse Pingchuan, whether it is Fang Dayou or Liu Zeqing are mediocre people, greedy for life and afraid of death, not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also drunk and dreaming of death, once the Qing army goes south, then the whole Shandong must be the first to bear the brunt, with Liu Zeqing's 30,000 troops, it is not enough to see at all, over the years the Qing army entered the Kou, Shandong is the most seriously affected place, Liu Zeqing has always avoided without fighting, and he can hide as far as he can.

At this time, he couldn't hide if he wanted to, because, this time, the Qing army was not looting, but occupying, directly occupying the city of Beijing, and the entire Zhili had fallen under the control of the Qing army. Don't even think about it, it's either death, flight, or surrender! Die? No, I haven't lived enough, and I can't give up the glory and wealth; Escape? Even if he fled to Nanjing, he couldn't afford to bear the guilt of losing his land and land, and he would still die; If you can't do neither, then you can only surrender.

Chen Yan's letter of persuasion made it very clear that as long as the two of them surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and dedicated Shandong to the Qing army, the high-ranking official Houlu was at his fingertips, Fang Dayou could be promoted to the governor of Zhili, and Liu Zeqing was naturally the best candidate for the future governor of Shandong.

With such a good thing, the two people naturally want to just hold on, after getting the assurance of Chen Yan and Dolgon, the two began to act, Liu Zeqing first sent people and horses, controlled the entire canal, stopped all the boats, and stayed in Shandong, and then, according to Xu Yifan's order, began to lead the main force of Shandong Town to Dongchang Mansion to quickly approach, from Jinan to Dongchang, but hundreds of miles away, ten days, the army was brought to Dongchang Mansion.

Dongchang Mansion, the Qing army is already the third day of attack, countless soldiers, towards the Dongchang Mansion continues to attack, Dongchang Mansion is not only different from the Daimyo Mansion, and almost all the cities in the Central Plains are very different, this opportunity is the north of the Yangtze River, the only city surrounded by water, the entire Dongchang Mansion is located in the Dongchang Lake, the lake is wide, only the east lake is slightly narrower, in a hurry, on the canal, there are many boats, but there are no warships, and even if there are warships, most of the Qing army is not familiar with water, It is absolutely impossible to deploy its hands and feet here, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and almost all the Qing troops did not expect that there are still states and counties like Jiangnan in the Central Plains.

Ao Bai and Wu Sangui requisitioned almost all the large ships on the canal to carry people, and launched a fierce attack on Dongchang Mansion.

The check bolt is not a good stubble, an order, all the artillery of Dongchang Mansion was transferred to the east gate, above the city, towards Dongchang Lake launched a wild bombardment, a shell, smashed to the warships on the lake, these ships of the Qing army are just boats looted from the canal, how can they be compared with the warships on the Yangtze River or the sea, a few shells fell on the warships, the entire warships were smashed into tatters, and even began to leak in the eyes, Dongchangfu various styles of artillery were sandwiched together, no less than thirty, Shooting on the head of Dongchang Mansion is condescending, and it can hit six or seven miles away, covering the entire Dongchang Lake under artillery fire!

Ao Bai and Wu Sangui patronized the troops, but they forgot that the Tianwei Army was not the local garrison in Shandong, it was the most well-equipped elite division of the Ming Dynasty, what bird guns, three-eyed eye guns, those shoddy firearms are not, but when it comes to artillery and muskets, there are a lot, so many shells fell, in an instant, there were seven or eight ships capsized in Dongchang Lake, the Qing army fell into the water like dumplings, constantly struggling in the water, and there was a terrible cry for help in the mouth!

Even Ao Bai and Wu Sangui's boat was hit by several shells, even the mast on the boat was smashed by the cannonballs, the ship board smashed out a few holes, there was no sail, like this kind of big boat with two or three hundred people, rowing only by the oars, it was a joke, the whole boat because of the shelling, became violently shaken, whether it was Ao Bai or Wu Sangui, they are all northerners, not good at water, in the two or three zhang deep Dongchang Lake, seeing the boat so shaking, the face that has already been under has changed, Wu Sangui will be a dog planer, Ao Bai is a person who can't even dig a dog, and now his hands and feet are already sore.

If you want to cross Dongchang Lake in one fell swoop and launch an attack on Dongchang Mansion, how easy is it?

In one day, at least nearly 1,000 people fell into Dongchang Lake and became water ghosts, and dozens of boats on the lake sank.

The next day, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui changed their tactics, pushed the red-coated cannon to the edge of Dongchang Lake, and began to attack the edge of Dongchang Mansion, this position is the narrowest place in the waters of Dongchang Lake, only about three miles away from the city wall of Dongchang Mansion, plus less than two hundred zhang of water, but four miles away, the red-coated cannon is full of power, but it can barely cover Dongchang Mansion, with the red-coated cannon as a cover, the Qing army launched an attack on the other side of Dongchang Lake again, however, this time it was still in vain!

The musket battalion of more than 400 people lined up on the shore, constantly firing at the Qing army, making it impossible for the Qing army to break through this last line of defense, especially the cavalry, who had just arrived on the shore from the lake to the shore, and wanted to launch an assault, but there was no way to let go of the speed, and they could only be beaten passively!

However, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui are not in a hurry, but some small casualties, compared to the casualties under the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, this is just a small appetizer, the good show is still to come, Ao Bai has already received Duoduo's secret order before sending troops, and the main force to capture Dongchang Mansion is not his own Zhenglan Banner and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, but someone else!

This other person, naturally, is Liu Zeqing, who has secretly rebelled against Manchuria, and is now completely kept in the dark, he knows that Xu Yifan's military order has been issued for more than ten days, and the officers and soldiers of Shandong Town are used to assist him in defending Dongchang Mansion, he Chazhu and Xu Yifan are one left and one right, as long as they are stubbornly resisted in Dongchang Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion, then Henan and Shandong behind him will be foolproof!
