Chapter 171 Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease

In the morning, Zhu Yihai opened his eyes and found that it was already very late.

"Why don't you go to sleep again, Your Highness?"

Little Huang Ji was lying on her side with her hair disheveled, her head propped on one jade arm, and she kept looking at him.Zhu Yihai looked at that face, feeling a little regretful in his heart, he was a little too indulgent last night.

If this little Huang Ji really wanted to harm him, she would have died a hundred times earlier if she slept too much after the indulgence last night.

But the current situation seems to show that Xiao Huang Ji has actually passed the test, and she really has no intention of harming him?
"I didn't expect it to be this late."

Little Huang Ji said considerately, "Since the Northern Expedition, Your Highness has been working hard on military planes, and your whole body has been tense. It's rare to relax. That's why you sleep so deeply. I guess His Highness hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time, right?"

Zhu Yihai pinched her face, "Indeed."

The room was full of refreshing fragrance, Zhu Yihai restrained himself and got up quickly.

Little Huang Ji got up too, wiped Zhu Yihai's body and changed her clothes.

After Zhu Yihai tidied up, he looked at the lazy little Huang Ji, stretched out his arms and hugged her, then turned around and left with a kiss.

Little Huang Ji stood there in a daze, a blush flew across her face.

After a long time, she turned around and returned to the bed, and pulled out the white silk from under the quilt, on which a bright red plum blossom was in full bloom. Looking at this red flower, she was fascinated again.

Jian Guo saw her laying out this square of white silk last night, and also saw this flower, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to it.

Putting away the white silk, Xiao Huangji stroked her stomach, hoping that the seeds would take root and sprout.

······
Zhu Yihai walked out of the house and found that it was already noon.

Yang Boxing was waiting for him on the corridor in the courtyard, "Your Highness."

Zhu Yihai nodded, Yang Boxing followed behind, and said softly, "Your Highness stayed in the little Huangji's room last night, and I felt a little sudden."

Zhu Yi laughed as he walked by the sea, "Didn't you, General Yubayashi, arrange for two maids to guard the room all night last night?"

"I'm thinking about His Royal Highness's safety. After all, Su Lubo is not reliable. I think that His Highness should go to Tokyo to send some servants and palace servants to serve the nobles."

It seems that he was also worried that Huang Ji would harm Zhu Yihai last night, so he asked the eunuchs and maids to come over there, saying that he was serving the nobles, but in fact it was to prevent the situation like last night from happening again.

"You arrange it yourself." Zhu Yihai didn't object, and he actually regretted it a little in the morning.

There was already a small town on Xishan Island, with many fishermen and some shops and workshops. Huang Fei led the army to come here earlier, and built some temporary houses, etc., but they were dismantled in a hurry and were not demolished.

After Zhu Yihai came here, he also used this as his base camp. Now all kinds of money, food and materials moved from Suzhou and other cities are also transferred here. There are even field hospitals, recuperation camps, weapon and armor workshops, repair shops, etc. built here.

When they came to the front hall, Xu Shiqi and many other military planes and privy secretaries arrived. Seeing him, Chen Qianfu laughed and came up to report, "Suzhou City was taken back by the 'attack' of Tu Guobao last night, and my father, Li Yuchun, etc. also defeated us one after another." Garrison soldiers and horses in towns such as Wujiang and Zhenyi."

"Where is Boluo?" Zhu Yihai asked.

"According to the night of not accepting returns, Boluo has arrived in Jiading."

Chen Qianfu, who was in charge of intelligence, told Zhu Yihai that from the analysis of intelligence, Boluo seemed to be planning to go to Shanghai Baoshan along the way, and cooperate with Wu Shengzhao and Li Chengdong to take down Chongming and capture King Yiyang back to Beijing.

"In Chongming, has King Yiyang not replied yet?"

After Zhu Yihai went north, he sent envoys to Chongming more than once to remind them that the Qing army was going to attack them this time, and he also hoped that King Yiyang could unite and resist the captives at this time, let him retire and return to his throne, and come to join them.

But there has been no reply, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Huang Fei committed suicide in defeat, Wu Zhikui is now "defeated and surrendered to the captives", even Huang Binqing has switched to Zhu Yihai, and the Yiyang King of Chongming can be said to have lost his fortune.

Now he doesn't have the slightest strength to compete with Zhu Yihai for the position of supervisor, Zhu Yihai can offer him such a good condition, let it go, he just wants him to abdicate and return to the feudal domain, and come to court, such a condition, he has not yet agreed.

"What should we do next?" Xu Shiqi asked.

This time going north, it can be said that the results exceeded expectations, especially after taking down Suzhou, which can be described as exciting. Even if they voluntarily gave up, the money, food and materials obtained were quite impressive.

Not only did the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expedition now save a lot of money, enough to pay and food for a long period of time, even the equipment has been greatly improved.

"Continue to go north." Zhu Yihai looked at the map and pointed to Changzhou Road.

"Your Highness, it's not safe to go further north. Boluo has already followed us, and Doduo is still in Nanjing. If we go further north, after we enter Changzhen, it is equivalent to actively entering Doduo, Boluo, etc. The encirclement circle, this pocket is already very small. The multi-banner elite, especially their cavalry, are very maneuverable. If we are not careful, we may be attacked by their main force, and the consequences are unimaginable."

Since the Northern Expedition, they have won many battles, but they have not fought any real tough battles. Basically, they have hit more and hit less, and they have not really conquered tough battles.

Whether Zhujiazhuang wiped out the five hundred Tatar cavalry or captured Suzhou City, they were all tricks.

But now that Boluo and Duoduo are here, they are accidentally overtaken by their Eight Banners elite. With their current strength, they are absolutely unable to resist.

Regardless of the fact that the Northern Expeditionary Army organized eight towns, tens of thousands of soldiers, and more than [-] war assistants, even if it was [-], it is impossible to beat the main force of the Qing army now.

"I think it's still early, and there is still room for movement. First go northward along the canal and sweep Changzhou. On one side is Taihu Lake and on the other side is the Yangtze River. We have a navy, so we don't have to worry too much about being surrounded. As long as we don't love fighting, we can finish the sweep." Just leave, and the Tartars can only look at the water and sigh."

Zhu Yihai is getting bolder and bolder now.

Of course, he is not completely arrogant. Now there are many soldiers in the Northern Expedition, and there are many defeated soldiers and civilians who are willing to follow them. If they take them with them, they may end up just like Huang Fei and the others. They will never escape the pursuit of the Qing army. .

So his plan is divided into two steps, select some elites to sweep Changzhou, further weaken the Jiangnan surrender forces, and also support those volunteers who raised the flag. The other one is to take over Chongming's King Yiyang and others.

There are still a lot of people over there. If they can be subdued, they will be able to successfully obtain Chongming Jingjiang, two large islands at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and use them as the Jiangnan anti-captive base.

Some of the remaining troops were sent to Huzhou, Guangde and other places to seize the opportunity to mobilize, and some began to settle in Taihu Lake and other mountainous areas and lake islands to prepare for a long-term war of resistance and establish anti-captive bases.

On the whole, although the Qing army occupied the south of the Yangtze River, they did not have enough strength to sink to the towns, let alone the mountains, lakes and seas.

"I suggest that these two generals should be responsible. Your Highness can return to Haining via Taihu Lake, and then return to Shaoxing by sea." Xu Shiqi suggested.

This Northern Expedition has been very successful.

There is no reason for Zhu Yihai to stay all the time. During the Northern Expedition to the Eight Towns, some of them will stay, and some of them will also be evacuated to the south. Of course, Zhu Yihai, the supervisor of the country, should return to Shaoxing, Tokyo to sit in charge.
