Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the seventh day of May in the third year of Wuding, Emperor Wuding Zhu Youge promulgated in Fujing the imperial edict to return Duyingtian and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. The imperial edict and festival and ax were delivered to Zheng Kezang four days later at an expedited speed of five hundred miles. hands. www Facing Emperor Wu Ding's intention to overwhelm the host, Zheng Kezang made a clear response. Later, at the ceremony of going out to sacrifice the flag and swearing in the flag held in the outskirts of Yingtian, Zheng Kezang never mentioned the Southern edict. Zhao, once again put forward the slogan of expelling the Tartars and restoring China

The thin river mist faded away bit by bit under the sunshine, and the Xun soldiers who secretly fell asleep in the middle of the night also woke up listlessly at this moment, but before they rubbed off the eye feces at the corners of their eyes, A ignorant shadow appeared in the blurred vision.Looking at the shadow of the boat that seemed to cover the sky and cover the sky, it took them a long time to wake up, they yelled, turned their heads and ran away.

"The big thing is not good, the sea, the sea is going against the river"

Through the distributed binoculars, I saw the scruffy Qing soldiers running wildly on the north bank from a distance, and Huang Chuxu, who came to the front-line command in person, showed an incomprehensible smile on his face: "Show the flag and order the teams to dispatch The flag bearer went ashore to guide the shelling, and then notified the brigade, ready to go ashore after the shelling."

The rumble of cannons announced the arrival of Zheng's army. Therefore, on May [-], the day when Kangxi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City officially learned the news that the Zheng regime's Northern Expedition was imminent, an unprecedentedly large Han army was The figure boarded the land that has been occupied for more than half a century.

"Quick, the sentry is going to the left." Although Zheng Jun's navy has already landed many times, it is the first time that nearly [-] troops have landed. No wonder the military law department directing traffic is busy sweating a lot. "The horse team keeps to the left, that's right, it's you, see if the road on the ground is clear, it's the limestone row"

"What the king said is good, it is better to change the plan." Looking at the people on the beach who landed on their backs, it was not their turn to land on a certain ship, and two former classmates were standing on the side of the ship and talking in a low voice. "Obviously everything has been calculated, but when it comes to landing, it's still a mess."

"I can't blame the staff office for this matter." Li Shun, who had just been transferred from the second-class staff officer in the staff office to the commander-in-chief of the second division of the Yongwei Army, of course wanted to excuse his work. "We have only 13 people after we have exhausted our family resources. The Qing army has almost the same strength along the front line of the river, not to mention the reinforcements in the deep Qingjiangpu, Xuzhou, Luzhou, and even Shandong, Henan and other hinterland provinces. , the Office of the General Staff will naturally try its best to avoid confrontation with the Tartars."

"Brother Ping Da, I understand the reasons you said, and the division explained it before the war." Qian Kan, commander of the third regiment of the second division of the Yongwei Army, shook his head. "What I mean is, why don't you choose a few more places to land on this river beach that is hundreds of miles away, and tens of thousands of troops are piled up together. How can you stretch it? Isn't it a mistake?"

"No way, who made the navy unable to completely clear the warships of the Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River?" In fact, Li Shun also knew that this could not be blamed for the navy's unfavorable combat. It must be known that there are many tributaries on both sides of the Yangtze River. There are many small rivers in the river, and even the flat-bottomed red single boats of the Yangtze River Fleet dare not chase them at will. "In case the enemy splits up, it will be damaged to some extent." Li Shun explained casually. "Although the speed of transshipment is relatively slow, there is also the advantage of being a group. At least if the enemies of Yangzhou and Taizhou attack halfway, they will not be able to eat us."

"Ma Qi, a turtle with a shrunken head, does he dare to attack halfway?" Qian Kan dismissively pointed to the direction of Yangzhou City. "It is estimated that Governor Ma has not yet figured out where our main force is."

Qian Kan's words reveal the fact that although Zheng Jun is racing with thousands of sails this time, in fact, the direction of attack also has a priority.Among them, more than 2 people from the four divisions of Chizhou Daying did not cross the river at all, threatening the 10 Qing troops in Anqing, Lujiang, Wuwei and other places with a gesture of intimidation, and did not dare to support the Eastern Front at will. The Division and the Third Division of the Longxiang Army of the Eastern Fleet bluffed in the direction of Tongzhou, Taixing, and Haimenting, forcing the Qing army in the above-mentioned areas to occupy the city, unable to rescue Yangzhou. As for the remaining [-] divisions with nearly [-] people, all Used in Yangtai's face, respectively from the Yangtze River (Yizheng), Diaojiadu (Gaogang District) and other places meandering across the river, ready to solve the threat of the Qing army's Yangzhou camp in one fell swoop.

"Actually, I don't think it's a good thing for the main force of the Qing army to hide in Yangzhou City." Li Shun disagreed with Qian Kan's point of view. "After all, Yangzhou is a water zone, and it is very inconvenient to attack the city. The Qing soldiers have been operating for a long time. If we are trapped under the city, and the Qing soldiers from outside will come in droves, then our army will be passive."

"That's true." Qian Kan pondered for a while and agreed with Li Shun's point of view. "It's better to lure them out to fight, but I'm afraid that Ma Qi will not see the situation clearly and decide to stay the same to cope with all changes, that would be bad." The two were talking, when suddenly there was an earth-shattering cheer from the shore, Although the cheers resounded through the sky, Qian Kan couldn't hear what was being cheered clearly, so he ordered. "Come here, go and ask, what are you crying about?"

After a while, the excited Ma Bian ran back from the flag bearer on the boat: "My lord, good news, the Yangtze (Yizheng) has been captured."

"Yangzi?" Li Shun came from the center after all, but just laughed as soon as he thought about it. "Hu Mei and Hu Zhenxiao are nimble. This way, the connection between the Qing captives in Yangzhou and the enemies on the western front has been cut off. When the Tiger Guards take Taizhou again, this old boy Ma Qi will be the turtle in the urn."

"This is indeed good news, but if our [-] troops cross the river, the south of the Yangtze River will be empty. If Jiangpu (Pukou) and the enemies of Liuhe take advantage of it and go south, this will be a repeat of the old story." Qian Kan said pretending to be worried. He said, in fact, he knew in his heart that there were two groups of soft-sail gunboats from the Eastern Fleet cruising the Yingtian section of the river day and night, and the Qing troops in the two places would never have the courage to put all their eggs in one basket. "The first division of the Huben Army should continue to advance westward, attack Liuhe, occupy Pukou, and threaten Chuzhou."

When Li Shun heard this, he was overjoyed and joked with Qian Kan: "Brother Gu Xiong's tone, why is he still a commanding officer now? I think it's a big humiliation. The king should at least appoint brother Gu Xiong as the first-class staff officer." Yes, no, no, the first-class staff officer is still too young, and Sun Tongqian has to let him go sooner."

Qian Kan looked at Li Shun dumbfounded, and was about to fight back, but when he saw Li Shun talking, his expression froze suddenly: "Okay, Qian Gu Xiong, are you deliberately trying to send the brothers from the Huben Army to the western front? Go fight to stop them, so as not to let them share the victory of conquering Yangzhou, I can't see it, you are quite insidious."

Seeing Qian Kan's ugly face, Li Shun laughed again: "Just kidding, kidding, but you really should enter the staff office, unfortunately, your suggestion is late, the staff office has long planned to let the Huben army two The division is heading towards Chuzhou to wipe out the threat on the western front, your thoughts are in vain, it is not worth it, it is not worth it."

Of course, Qian Kan understood what Li Shun meant by being unworthy. It was nothing more than saying that he was not worthy of exposing his bad intentions but wasting his efforts in vain. This was also a complete slander, but he also knew that this was definitely Li Shun's joke. So I put on a straight face in cooperation: "Director Jun, I thought you were an old classmate, an old friend, but I didn't expect you to be a different person when you entered the staff hall. This kind of joke can be taken."

"Angry?" Li Shun took off the iron helmet that was distorted by laughing. "Soldiers are dangerous and wars are dangerous. It has only been twenty years since I entered school in Jiayin year. Half of my classmates have died on the battlefield. There are only a few of you and me left behind. It may not be possible to escape the continuous flames of war. Not only today, but also in the future How can I remember"

Qian Kan didn't expect Li Shun to say such a thing, and the thought of teasing him faded away, and his tone became ethereal: "Yes, yes, it's been 20 years in the blink of an eye, you and I I have also changed from a child to a middle-aged man, but this battle is getting bigger and bigger, I don't know when it will be peaceful, maybe"

Speaking of this, Qian Kan paused, and whispered softly: "The yellow sand wears golden armor in every battle, and it will never be returned until it breaks Loulan."

"Driving a long chariot and breaking through the gaps in Helan Mountain. Aspirations to eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, laughing and talking about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu thirsty. Waiting to start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky." Li Shun also responded with Yue Fei's Man Jianghong. "Chaotianque, Chaotianque, brother Gu Xiong, do you think the king will stand in place of Ming after the first phase of the Northern Expedition?"

"You and I can guess what the king is thinking." Qian Kan also took off his iron helmet and held it in his arms. "But I guess it's almost too soon. You and I know what the descendants of the Zhu family have been like in Dongning in the past few decades. Among other things, the brothers who died in battle these years cannot agree to let them wait underground." The corpse takes its place."

"Anyway, the Zhu family is still orthodox in the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of the hearts of the people in the world, the king always has some concerns."

"Is the human heart better than a knife?" Qian Kan sneered. "The Qing captives entered China with the barbarians. Why should they stabilize the country? It's not about killing people, killing people and changing the color of the country, that's all."

"That's right, with a knife in one hand and righteousness in the other"

"My lords," the two were talking, when the helm of the ship came forward to report. "Just received the flag of Yin Zishou, ordering this ship to be the first ship of the Second Division of the Yongwei Army, and immediately land on the shore."

The military order was like a mountain, Li Shun immediately interrupted what he hadn't finished, quickly put on the iron helmet, and gave a serious order: "Then follow the order of Lord Duguan, and immediately land on the shore. Qian Guanzhi, order your subordinates to prepare."
