The little Yuan camp, who was wandering in the communication between the three provinces, moved, abandoned the banner of the rebel army, and raised the banner of the official army. Yuan Shizhong transformed from a leader of the rebel army and became a general under General Denglai.

The team of more than 20,000 people was divided into two groups, and seven or eight thousand people went to Tancheng, while fifty thousand people stayed in Pizhou.

The team to Tancheng was led by the old scholars. They were all the people who were obedient to the people of the Ming Dynasty and were forced to rebel by the current world. They rebelled just to survive. When a new way of life appeared in front of them, these people went on a new path without hesitation. Even though this road was not guaranteed at all, their desire for stability in their bones made them resolutely choose to face the danger.

From Yuan Shizhong's standpoint, you can call them ungrateful, but in this world, you cannot misunderstand this feeling.

The 15,000 people who stayed in Pizhou were the main force and vassals of Xiao Yuanying who believed in Zheng Zhilong's promise. They were the foundation of Yuan Shizhong in Xiao Yuanying. It was naturally different from the old scholar's wave of people.

In the face of insufficient evidence to consolidate, Zheng Zhilong's "empty white teeth" could not touch them.

Who made the reputation of the Ming Dynasty worse than the broken paper that wiped the butt in this era?

Even after Yuan Shizhong was recruited, he ignored the orders sent by Denglai and Jinan to enter Yanzhou. Zheng Zhilong did not pile up the promised money, grain and soldiers in front of him. Even if Yuan Shizhong had accepted the recruitment, he would not listen to the hello.

However, it is winter now, the canals are frozen, the rivers and seas are frozen, and the ships cannot arrive at all. Zheng Zhilong had no way to ask for money, grain, and military weapons from Jinling, so he could only use chariots and horses to transport a large number of money, grain, and soldiers from Jiaozhou Bay to Pizhou. How can this be completed in the short term?

As for where the military, armor, money and food in Jiaozhou Bay come from, it is obviously Zhifu Island.

The Fushan Mountain in front of Jiaozhou Bay is roughly Qingdao in later generations. This place is a port that is not frozen. The port is wide, the water is deep, the waves are small and the flow is gentle. In addition, the warm current of the Yellow Sea passes, which is the tributary that is mentioned above that the Black Tide divides into the Bohai Sea. It is not silted or frozen all year round.

Zheng Zhilong had long been jealous of his eyes, but he had no reason to touch it before, so he gave up. Now the great excuse is in front of him, how can there be no reason to use it?

He took the opportunity to hold the Fushan front in his hand, plus the corners of the mountain, and Dengzhou City, which only existed in his plan but had not yet touched in reality. As long as he held these points in his hand, Jiaodong would not be able to escape his Zheng Zhilong's grasp.

As for whether anyone in the Denglai government is worried about this, haha, what if Zeng Ying and others just see the traces? Isn’t the most important thing now to fight the Tartars?

As for the Qing army's offensive, Li Zicheng made a comeback.

The Ming Dynasty had such internal and external troubles, and then could there be any care about Jiaodong?

As mentioned earlier, the 180,000 army was defeated in Zhuxian Town, and Li Zicheng immediately surrounded Kaifeng City again. Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly transferred Hong Chengchou to the south to supervise the army to suppress the bandits and make meritorious service.

But I didn't expect that the Donglin Party members were full of talents, and just when Kaifeng City was in a dilemma again, a yellow Shu popped up again.

This person was from Huizhou. Bingzi received Zhejiang Examination and Ding Chou as a Jinshi. He was appointed as the Chief Promoter of Kaifeng, Central Plains. He came up with a clever plan - to replace the army with water, break the Yellow River embankment, and attempt to flood the peasant army.

The flood was ruthless, so naturally it really forced Li Zicheng to retreat. However, countless people in eastern Henan also suffered.

Huang Shu is amazing, the Donglin Party is powerful! Because this flood caused all the relatively rich Henan Plain. In addition, the Yellow River water flowed back into Kaifeng City, and countless residents in the city were killed and injured, and even damaged the city walls, resulting in no strong city in the Central Plains to reach Li Zicheng's army in the future. But that's all a story.

Now, Huang Shu's brilliant strategy of "using water instead of soldiers" saved Hong Chengchou's efforts, because Li Zicheng withdrew his troops back to Nanyang, and in a short period of time it was also Yang Wenyue and the great power of the tiger. Hong Chengchou's troops stopped directly at the Daming Mansion, the southernmost tip of the northern Zhili. After only a few days of rest, bad news came again in the north.

After the Qing army defeated the Ming army's blockade in Jizhou, they went south in Tianjin and along the canal, seemingly going to attack Qilu again. But as Jiang Zhe expected, after breaking the Hejian Prefecture, the Qing army did not go straight into Dongchang Prefecture, but rushed into Zhending Prefecture southwest. As a result, they bumped into a big bag in Shenzhou. Niulu Zhang Jingbayala, Pushuo, Ayantu and others all died in the battle.

However, after hearing the news, Hong Chengchou had already raised troops to help Shenzhou.

Although he hurriedly led his troops south, he had his old general Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen, who could fight and fight. He was not weak in the Qing army when he was defending the city.

Abatai led the Qing army to break through the border and enter the frontier. Emperor Chongzhen naturally thought of Hong Chengchou at this time. Compared to Fan Zhiwan, Hong Chengchou was obviously more trustworthy. He immediately threw Li Zicheng to Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei and others in southwest Henan. He didn't care whether these two people could bear it or not.

Bai Guangen and Bai Tengjiao were defeated in Jizhou, and Tang Tong was recruited by the emperor into Yanjing. In the huge land of North China, at this moment, except for Hong Chengchou's troops, the remaining Ma Ke, Xue Dizhong and other Lu troops in the Ming army were all vulnerable.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The Battle of Hejian was that Xue Dizhong was easily attacked by the Qing army, so that the generals of Shanhai, China Association, Western Association, Changping, Tongzhou, Tianjin, Baoding and other lines fled and collapsed. The Hejian Prefecture lost foreign aid, and the people were in a state of turmoil. The power of mobilization was also lacking. How could they resist the offensive of the Qing army that was completely unrestrained?

The magistrate Zhao Qi, the magistrate Yan Yunshao, the commander of Hejian Guard Zhao Dingxin, and the magistrate Chen Sangu were all killed in battle.

Abatai then rushed into Zhending Prefecture, but in Shenzhou, he met his old opponent Cao Bianjiao, and failed to defeat him repeatedly. Then he was blocked by Wang Tingchen in Zhaozhou. He saw that the other Ming troops had been controlled by Hong Chengchou. Seeing that Hong Chengchou's troops were really capable, they surrounded him again under the emperor's strict order. Seeing that the situation was not good, Abatai turned around and rushed into Dongchang Prefecture of Qilu. The first one to be broken was Lin Qingzhou.

The latter is a prosperous place on the Grand Canal. When Dorgon's army came last time, he had a full feast here. But now that Abatai comes again, the profit is a little shivering.

The mangrove-going Qing Tartars then started killing people. The people within dozens of miles were all searched and killed, with corpses as mountains, and all the government offices and houses were burned down. The scene was so tragic that it was hard to bear to see them.

After Abatai captured Linqing, the Qing Dynasty divided its troops into many groups and captured cities and land everywhere. Abatai himself personally led a group of troops to confront Hong Chengchou.

A large number of refugees fled south, and Yanzhou was shocked several times in a day, and even Nanzhili was shocked.

In this case, Zheng Zhilong's revenge on Xiao Yuanying was no longer gossiping. The officials and gentry in Yanzhou called for reinforcements day and night. If you don't want to replenish Xiao Yuanying, then go and fill in Yanzhou City by yourself.

There are not only royal princes in that place, but also the Confucius family in Qufu. How could we sit down and watch the Qing army invade and ignore it?

However, when the house was raining all night, the threat of the Qing Tartars was approaching. Suddenly, the Central Plains general Liu Chao, a general who helped Bian, killed more than 30 censors Wei Jingqi, who returned home, and killed the juren Qiao Mingkai and Wang Qizhen, the chief trainee, and reported that Yongcheng surrendered and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing the news, all the rebels near Yongcheng were willing to be subordinate to Liu Chao. Henan Governor Wang Han rushed to Yongcheng to attack Liu Chao, and the troops stationed in Dongguo. The gentry in Yongcheng was practicing state affairs. Ding Kuichu, Zhang Xing and others took the night to open the north gate to welcome Wang Han's army into the city and fought with Liu Chao. However, what was ridiculous was that the result of this battle was that the Wang army was defeated and the Governor Wang Han died in battle. Liu Chao's voice was shocked!

Bad news came into Qilu in a series of streams, and the officials, gentry and people lamented relatively. In addition to sighing and helplessness, they could only speed up the transportation of food, grass and equipment to Pizhou in order to feed Xiao Yuan camp so that Yuan Shizhong could quickly march to reinforce Yanzhou.

Of course, no one knew that Zheng Zhiguan, who was in secretly whistling from Zheng, first hit the wall with the King of Lu in Yanzhou these days, and then left Qufu City with a gray face...
