Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202 The World Shakes ([-])

Before Zhu Chenggong raised his troops to attack Zhangzhou, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan in Zhoushan began to attack Zhejiang.At this moment, because the security regiment captured Jiangning City, it changed the general situation of the world and restrained many people.

In the original history of Qiu Tianxing's previous life, in July this year, Su Song Admiral Zhang Tianlu of the Tartars left the Chong'an Fenshui Pass, and the general army entered Haimen, Baozhou Prefecture. When they went out of Dinghai, several armies joined forces to attack Zhoushan.Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan went into the sea to attack Wusong, restraining the main force of the Tartars.University scholar Zhang Kentang, Anyang General Liu Shixun, Dangbei Bo Ruan Jin, Zuo Dudu Zhang Mingyang and others stayed behind.After Zhoushan fell, more than [-] soldiers and civilians on the island died.In the end, under the great loss of strength, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan could only take King Lu to Zhu Chenggong. The next year, King Lu Zhu Yihai went to supervise the country and title himself.

However, due to the rise of the security regiment, the Tartars' forces were greatly restrained.Su Song's admiral Zhang Tianlu deployed heavy troops in Changzhou, and Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Chen Jin also sent a general to deploy Ma Jinbao in Huzhou, so the plan to attack Zhoushan was temporarily shelved.Moreover, after the news of the fall of Jiangning and the death of the regent spread to Zhejiang, Zhejiang began to become unstable.One is a famous political city, and the other is No. 1 in the imperial court. Without one of the two, there will be turmoil, let alone the loss of both?
At the same time, the fall of Jiangning also affected Zhu Chenggong in Fujian.Jin Li, who had defeated Zhu Chenggong in Quanzhou Prefecture next year and regained most of Zhangzhou Prefecture, was also transferred to Changzhou Prefecture at this time. I am afraid that the two will have no chance to fight.

When Zhang Mingzhen's spies collected these two pieces of news from the mainland, the spies were ecstatic and hurriedly reported the information to Zhoushan.After learning this important information, Zhang Mingzhen hurried to the residence of the King of Lu, and asked someone to inform Zhang Huangyan, the servant of the Ministry of War, to go to the residence of the King of Lu.

"My lord, the city of Nanjing has been restored!"

After meeting King Lu Zhu Yihai, Zhang Mingzhen said excitedly.

"What? The city of Nanjing was recovered? Who recovered the city of Nanjing? Is it Zhu Mingyan?" Zhu Yihai said loudly.At this moment, he was extremely excited. The former imperial capital of Ming Dynasty had been restored, but he didn't know anything about it. Who did this?
"It wasn't Zhu Mingyan. The spies reported that it was the security group. At the end of last year, the security group took troops from Luzhou Prefecture and captured Nanjing City."

As soon as Zhang Mingzhen finished speaking, Zhang Huangyan walked in, and he happened to hear this sentence.

"Nanjing recovered?" Zhang Huangyan exclaimed.This is really great news!The imperial court struggled in Zhoushan for several years but still couldn't go ashore, but it was unexpected that this little-known security group took down Nanjing City.At first he thought it was Zhu Chenggong who had gone north.

"My lord, brother Hou Fu. Once the city of Nanjing is underway, the general situation in the south of the Yangtze River will change!" Zhang Huangyan first greeted Lu Wang and Zhang Mingzhen, and then said.

"Haha, Brother Xuan Zhu, this is really God Blessing King Lu! The changes in Nanjing must have caused the Tartars to panic, and the surrounding forces are about to move to Nanjing. This is a great opportunity for our army to go ashore!" Zhang Mingzhen smiled at Zhang Huangyan Said.

Hearing what his two generals said, King Lu was also very excited. He has lived enough on the island, and now he finally has the opportunity to return to the shore.

"Brother Hou Fu. Although the situation is very good, our army is not well-organized and lacks equipment. It may not be smooth to go ashore rashly. In my opinion, it is safer to send people to the shore to instigate the anti-Tarist fighters to revolt, and then the imperial army will land ashore again. .” After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Huangyan said.

"What Xuan Zhu said makes sense, so let's send Hu Bo Ruan Jin to do it."

After some discussion, the three monarchs and ministers finally decided to land from Ningbo Mansion, because Zhoushan is the closest to Ningbo, and the landing is also the most convenient.Of course, the Tartars also knew this, so they deployed heavy defenses in Ningbo Mansion.In order to allow the imperial army to land smoothly, it is necessary to recruit righteous men and raise the banner of rebellion in Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou, Jiaxing and other places in eastern Zhejiang.Fortunately, both Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan and King Zhu Yihai of Lu believed that the great cause of resisting the Tartars is now very good. With the pearls and jades that the security team captured Nanjing in front of them, I believe that the officials and gentry in eastern Zhejiang who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Tartars will rise up one after another.

After the discussion, the Lu Dynasty began to operate one after another.Taking advantage of the panic of the people in Zhejiang and the opportunity of the officials in Zhejiang to waver again, Hu Bo Ruan Jin drove his troops to and from various places, weaving a big net, and waiting for an order, several governments in eastern Zhejiang immediately fell into turmoil Among them, the imperial army can land safely at that time.Officials in Shaoxing, Ningbo and other prefectures and counties have heard about the actions of the Lu Dynasty court, but they acquiesced in these small actions.

In the eyes of these Tartar officials in eastern Zhejiang, after the bandits occupied Jiangning, the regent suddenly collapsed. This is God's will.If it weren't for the sudden collapse of the regent, the imperial army would definitely have gathered at the city of Jiangning to wipe out the bandits occupying Jiangning.But because of the sudden collapse of the regent, the imperial court needs to redistribute power. Even if it is to appease the regent's followers, it will take time, and this time is indeed what the gangsters need most.In a few months, using the wealth of Jiangning Mansion, the strength of the bandits will expand several times.

"Maybe God's will is not on the court's side, maybe this world will be the same as the Northern and Southern Dynasties?" Many officials thought so.Not only the officials of the Tartars, but also the landlords and gentry who had surrendered to the Tartars and paid taxes for the Tartars began to support the King of Lu again.Although the repeated failures of the King of Lu regime over the past few years have made them lose confidence, but now the overall situation of the anti-Tartar cause is so good that they can't help being tempted.Although under the rule of the Tartars, I was also well-clothed and well-fed, and even the high taxes were borne by those mud-legged people, but the bun and the clothes felt uncomfortable no matter how I looked at them.Either because they are moving forward, or because they want to speculate, or because they miss the tax exemption policy of the previous dynasty for officials and gentry, in short, the Lu Wang regime operated very smoothly in the eastern Zhejiang provinces.

When Zhu Chenggong's offensive in Zhangzhou Mansion came, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan knew that the opportunity had come.

Therefore, within a few days, more than a dozen rebel armies in Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Ningbo, and Taizhou raised the banner of King Lu, all of which were secretly supported by officials, landlords, and gentry.The total number of these more than ten rebels was tens of thousands, which instantly caused turmoil in the four prefectures in eastern Zhejiang.

Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian who was stationed in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, hastily dispatched Meile Zhangjing and Wu Rujie to lead an army of more than [-] troops into eastern Zhejiang.In order to defend against the landing of King Lu's army, Wu Rujie stationed heavily in Ningbo Mansion.It's just that Zhang Mingzhen revised his plan at this time, and changed it to land from Taizhou Prefecture to avoid the army of the Tartars in Ningbo Prefecture, and sent Dangbei Bo Ruan Jin to lead a partial division to land in Shaoxing.One is real and one is false, one is positive and one is strange, and the Tartars suddenly lose sight of one thing and lose another.In addition, the intensified rebel army in the four prefectures also restrained the Tartars' great energy.Therefore, Zhang Mingzhen successfully led an army of more than [-] to land in Taizhou.The four prefectures in eastern Zhejiang suddenly became violently turbulent.

The world is like a game of chess, if the security team makes a move in the center of the chessboard, it will affect the four corners.On the other hand, the morale of the anti-Tartar forces in the frontier was greatly boosted. While expanding their forces, they also restrained a large number of Tartar troops, giving the security team valuable time to grow.

The capture of Nanjing by the security regiment was like a kindling, lighting up the lamp of hope in the hearts of many righteous men who resisted the Tartar forces.
