After the annexation of the Zhoushan Squadron, the newly established Zhoushan Squadron quickly cleared the influence of Fang Xipeng's old troops, and all the troops were transferred to Jinlan, Xiboni, Seogwipo, Ezodi and other North and South Overseas Governor's Offices. The few remaining old men who had flirted with Zheng Jun for a long time stayed.In addition to clearing out the restless elements, the newly established Daqushan Dudufu also focused on strengthening the construction of the Dou Shipyard, Wanliang and Shizimen Forts. After the construction of the new base gradually became normal, the once silent Zhoushan branch The fleet has also become active again in the Eastern Ocean, Gray Turtle Ocean, and Putuo Ocean.

"Idiot, I just found out now, it's too late." Listening to the increasingly dense sound of golden drums in the Qing army's water village, Yan Daoji standing on the [Lujiang] showed a look of disdain, and then said coldly The tone ordered. "Raise the signal flag and order [Huayu] and [Tanshuihe] to bombard freely"

On May 42, the 22nd year of the Yongli calendar, the gunboats of the Zheng Army, which came via Cezishuiyang and Hengshuiyang, appeared outside Dinghai Port after bypassing Xixianyu and Dapanyu. The sea village was completely turned into a sea of ​​flames.During this period, the few remaining warships in Dinghai Town tried to rush out of the water village and approach Zheng Jun's gunboats, but they were destroyed and repelled one after another under Zheng Jun's not very intensive artillery fire.Seeing that the only means of counterattack could not be effective, the remaining [-] or so Qing soldiers abandoned their stronghold and fled, fleeing into the city of Qianhusuo (Note: Changguo County, Dinghai County) left over from the Ming Dynasty to defend and wait for help.

"Notify Yin Tongzhi to disembark." Yan Daoji followed the figure of the Qing army who had thrown away his helmet and unarmored, and ordered at the same time. The Yin Tongzhi he said was the instructor of the Boy Scouts Battalion and the Kunlun No. [-] of the Boy Scout Second Town. Yin Long, the battalion officer of the Second Standard Long Spear Battalion, in a sense, this Yin Tongzhi is one of Yan Daoji's teachers, but obviously Yan Daoji doesn't have much respect for him. "Tell him that the Qing army has fled into Changguo City, and it's up to him next."

The second regiment of the Youlongxiang Division was strengthened to the front line of Zhoushan after the formation of the Zhoushan Squadron. Its main purpose was to follow the ideas of Fang Xipeng and Zhou Yunlong to use it in raids and harassment operations in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. They were all dragged to Zhoushan Island by Yan Daoji without opening in other places, obviously planning to play a big ticket.

However, as a standard regular army, Yin Long's department only has one sentry meter, three three-inch guns and six two-and-a-half-inch guns. It is a little difficult to build a city of thousands of households built with soil and bricks. It must be known that the Changguo City built in the Ming Dynasty was built on the basis of the Changguo County City in the Song Dynasty. Small is small, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. .

Precisely because he had known the characteristics of Changguo City in advance, Yin Long, who was psychologically prepared, ordered before his feet actually set foot on Zhoushan Island: "Notify Liang Yijian (recommended by friend manson in 2003) to lead the fifth post and the artillery post to control the old Sangu. In the area around the village, wait for the regimental fingers, the middle base, and the two sentry posts to enter."

The young regiment joined the army and turned away. Yin Long thought for a while and then issued another order: "The first post controls Fengfu Gate (East Gate), the second post controls Wenming Gate (South Gate), and the third post controls Taihe Gate (west gate) and the fourth post control Yonganmen (north gate)

In fact, because Zheng Jun's advancing speed was not very fast, some clever Qing troops did not follow the brigade and escape into Changguo City. These people are obviously lucky because they fled to the mainland by small boats or only relying on bamboo rafts or planks. The Qing army will soon fall into the dilemma of having no food and grass and heavy troops outside due to reasons such as the sudden failure to store food and fodder, the evacuation of the sea ban and the emptiness and helplessness in the city.

It is true that the Qing army was short of food, but Zheng Jun, who needed to transfer grain and fodder through Dongning, also faced an unsustainable predicament. For this reason, Yin Long's troops launched a tentative attack on the second day after landing.However, although the direct-fired two-and-a-half-inch artillery pierced through the iron-clad city gate, it could not prevent the Qing army from filling it up with bricks and stones. Had to drop it halfway after dropping a few bodies.

"Now we can only compare with who's family has more food." Hearing the introduction from Yin Long, Yan Daoji's expression was very bad, but he finally suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and discussed with Yin Long . "Give me the center post and I'll take them ashore to get some food back"

Obedient and listening, Yin Long certainly understood the subtext of the other party's unfinished business, so he decided: "I'll give you the fifth whistle!"

So Yan Dao and his troops carrying two outposts sailed from Xiangshan Port to Huangdun Port, and landed at Qiaotouhu in the north of Ninghai. They fired their guns all the way and made a stance to attack Ninghai County. Turning to Meilin in the northwest, they captured this almost undefended town in one fell swoop, plundered nearly a hundred grain stores and large households, and had a population of nearly a hundred men and women.By the time the Ninghai garrison arrived for inquiries, Zheng Jun had already returned to the sea with his harvest.

In fact, as early as May 23, Shaotai Road in Qingning asked for help from the governor's yamen in Hangzhou and the admiral's yamen in Shaoxing.However, the Zhejiang navy did not recover immediately after the attack on Taiwan was destroyed. Since then, the remnants of the department have been attacked repeatedly by Zheng Jun, and most of the units that survived by chance are also dilapidated, so they have no power to rescue the besieged Dinghai Town.

On May 26, the admiral of the Zhejiang Army Division who led [-] reinforcements arrived in Ningbo and commanded the troops to enter Zhenhai.

Although the remnants of Dinghai Town in Changguo City tried several times to break out of the encirclement, Zheng Jun was unable to attack the city, but he was able to block the escape route of the Qing Army with new-style firecrackers.The Qing army rushed from the left, but was defeated repeatedly. Although it saved a lot of rations, by May 29, the Qing army in Changguo City, with only [-] people left, was still in a situation of running out of food.

"My lords, the brothers below have already started to eat the rotten flesh of Paoze who died in battle. If we don't want to find a way out, even if Zheng Jun doesn't attack the city, we will starve to death here." At this point, we are trapped in Changguo City The loyalty of the Qing army to the Qing court has disappeared. "Or the adults are kind enough to distribute the hidden rice to the brothers. This may last for another two days."

"What's wrong, you bald Chen, what do you want to do?" Hearing that he was going to touch his own cheese, General Youying immediately jumped up. "If you want to throw yourself into Haini, I will give you the gift right now. Come here, take off his hat, pull him out and behead him to show the public." Panic. "Where is the person? Come here!"

"My lord, don't bark, you won't even be able to come." Chen Mi (recommended by friend fengjluo), the head of the bandit Chen Baldzi, smiled coldly at the stern general, and then pushed the door, only to see that the outside of the house was full of people holding hands. The soldiers with knives and guns looked at everyone in the house with red eyes. "We just want to survive, and let the adults decide."

The generals of the green battalion in the room looked at each other, and after a while Jiang Changwen (recommended by friend manson in 2003) stood up, walked to Chen Mi's side, turned to his colleagues who were still sitting there and said, "I know some Hang’s family, I’m different, my guy steals people behind my back, so it’s okay if you don’t want such a family.”

"It's better to die than to live." Someone took the lead, and then naturally others followed suit. No, the general manager here also stood up. "The imperial court can't care about your life and my life. I have to find a way by myself. At this time, my family can't care about it either."

"Through the ages, the only one will die." Another chieftain stood up. "I don't want to die either."

Watching his peers slowly walk to the opposite of him, Dinghai Town's highest-ranking lieutenant general sat on the ground like a deflated pig urine bubble. After a long time, he took off his saber and threw it on the ground: "Surrender! I'm afraid that Zheng Jun won't give up if he surrenders."

"I'm going out of the city to negotiate with Zheng Jun." Chen Mi interrupted the lieutenant general. "If I can't come back before the time is up, the big guy will rush out and fight for the last time." Hundreds of Qing soldiers around him looked at Chen Mi who volunteered silently, and Chen Mi swept his eyes like a torch. Scan the officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death in front of you. "But before that, hand over the rest of the rice so that everyone can have their last meal."

On the first day of June, the Qing army in Zhoushan, which had been out of food for four days, was forced to surrender, and was then driven south to attack the Changshi naval camp.When these new attached troops who didn't even change their clothes appeared in front of the Changshi Qing army, the shock caused can be imagined.

On the third day of June, Zheng Jun pulled out the Changshi Navy Battalion again.Affected by this series of failures, in order not to cause more losses, the governor of Zhejiang Province, Shi Lin, ordered the towns of the original navy to abandon the sea and land, and once again reiterated the strict implementation of the order to seal the sea and move the border.

However, there is a saying in Zhejiang that there are eight mountains, one water and one field, and most of these very few plains are located in the coastal areas. The implementation of the border relocation order not only caused Zhejiang to lose nearly [-]% of its tax revenue, but also caused people's turmoil and high prices. , The people who were relocated and the people in the receiving area had various conflicts such as fighting and conflicts over land and water sources. Some people in later generations commented on this as "the people are tired."

Under such circumstances, many people even voluntarily fled to the island to wait for Zheng Jun's shelter.What's more, what makes Zhejiang province even more unbearable is that Zheng Jun made an inch of progress and continuously drove the newly attached army to plunder Haiyan, Zhapu, Pinghu, Jinshan, Chuansha, Cicheng, and Shangyu. Yandang Mountain and Tiantai penetrate into the inland of Zhejiang Province
