The self-disintegration of the Zhejiang army broke Zhou Shixiang's thoughts of walking the Yangtze River. Without the cooperation and help of the Zhejiang army, the hundreds of Qing army navy and dozens of ships who relied on Jiujiang to surrender wanted to capture Anqing, which was guarded by land and water troops. , and then transporting the four main towns of the Northern Expedition to Nanjing is no doubt a nonsense.

I only hate that King Yanping has withdrawn too quickly. If he is still in the area of ​​Zhenjiang, Zhou Shixiang would have to get in touch with him anyway, to let him know that Jiangxi in the upper reaches has undergone earth-shaking changes. As long as the Zheng army's huge fleet strayed across Zhenjiang, the Taiping army would go to Nanjing by land, and no matter how delayed they were on the road, they would not be afraid of the Tatar chief army. Because as long as there is a Zheng army on the river, the Tatar chief army will have to look at the river and sigh, unable to enter the city of Nanjing.

Without the threat of the Shunzhi army, Zhou Shixiang could calmly deal with the Qing army in Nanjing. After all, he had the trump card to conquer Nanjing—the Taiping army in his previous life left a successful example of taking the Stone City by blasting the coffin in the history books. He did not need it. Innovate, just copy what you need. Under the auspices and improvement of Tie Yi, blasting technology has now become a magic weapon for the Taiping Army to break the city. If the city gate is weak, it will be blasted with a medicine bag, and if the city gate is strong and thick, it will be blasted in the hole, just like Xinhui City and Liuzhou City, the city wall will collapse in one fell swoop. As long as there is enough gunpowder, no matter how strong the city gates in this era are, no matter how solid the city is, it will become the possession of the Taiping Army.

Unfortunately, the question now is not whether Nanjing can win, but how to get there.

The disintegration of the Zhejiang Army made the generals of the Taiping Army silent. I heard that the Zheng Army defeated Nanjing, and most of the generals in the hall rejoiced, because King Yanping refused to cooperate with the Taiping Army several times. In this way, it was even more so when the King of Jin went east to Guangdong, which made King Yanping's impression on the generals of the Taiping Army very bad. Many people thought that Zheng Yanping was too selfish. This time he launched the campaign to go north and enter the river. I am afraid that he has a self-reliance, at least. There is also the idea of ​​​​not wanting to respect the king of Tang and starting a new one. If Zheng Yanping can join forces with the Taiping Army to go north, one from Jiangkou, one from Jiangxi, and land and water, the Qing army will not be able to stop it even if it grows ten heads. It's a pity that Zheng Yanping was too confident, believing that he was the number one naval division in the world, with more than 100,000 soldiers, but he ended up with a disastrous defeat. As for Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, who was often talked about by the Zhejiang Army and the commander who was compared with the "Three Loyalties of Lingnan", the Taiping Army admired and sympathized with him.

The intelligence about the Zhejiang army is almost public. The Ming army knows it, and the Qing army knows it even more. The composition of the Zhejiang Army is very complicated. The soldiers are mainly fishermen and farmers along the coast, as well as traders, craftsmen, and actors. Although it is the Zhejiang Army, there are also many people in the army from southern Zhili, even Henan and Shandong. These people were not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty before joining the Zhejiang Army, but they defected to the Zhejiang Army with their blood, and followed the Dingxi Empress Zhang Mingzhen and the Minister of War Zhang Huangyan and the Tartars in a **** battle to the end.

However, the Zhejiang army has always been oppressed by the Qing army in the Zhoushan Islands. Money and food are scarce, weapons are lacking, and even the stomach is not full. Naturally, there is no training. Therefore, every time it fights with the Qing army, the Zhejiang army will lose more and win less. . Even so, the Zhejiang army still insisted, even if the base Zhoushan was occupied by the Qing army, they still retreated to Jinxia under the leadership of Zhang Huangyan and continued to fight with the Qing army. They would rather die than surrender. This time they entered the Yangtze River with the Zheng army. , is the vanguard of the whole army. People with lofty ideals, Han Jiayinger These words are most suitable for those ordinary people of Ming Dynasty who participated in the Zhejiang Army and insisted on resisting Qing Dynasty. Young, remembered!

"Did King Yanping not notify Zhang Shangshu when he retreated? The Zhejiang army had tens of thousands of troops and occupied so much territory, so it just disintegrated?" Li Zhicui was a little unbelievable. As the Qing court's Jiangxi censor, he There is a way to know the results obtained by the Zhejiang Army in the left provinces in the south of the Yangtze River after the Zheng Army entered Jiangsu in a large scale, so it is difficult to believe that the Zhejiang Army collapsed like this.

Zhou Shixiang did not answer this question because there was no information on this, but it was obvious that Zheng Yanping had abandoned Zhang Huangyan, otherwise why would the Zhejiang army disintegrate on its own in Tongling. In addition to despair over the future and extremely low morale, Zhou Shixiang could not think of any reason why the Zhejiang army, which had made great achievements in Jiangnan Zuo, collapsed overnight. The intelligence of the Ministry of Military Intelligence made it clear that the Zhejiang army disintegrated without any battle or even contact with the Qing army.

When Dong Changqing heard Zhang Cangshui's name when he was in Huizhou, "the head can't stand against the sky, and the feet can't step on the ground."

"After the battle, the autumn wind laughs at the beautiful things, but the savages offer their own yellow flowers. I have seen the old age of iron bones and frost, and don't send the golden heart to bring the rain to slant."

After reciting a poem by Zhang Huangyan that he heard from others, Dong Changqing suddenly knelt down in front of Zhou Shixiang and pleaded earnestly: "I hope the commander will send troops to rescue Duke Cangshui, or Duke Cangshui will fall into the hands of the Qing army!"

Li Zhicui frowned: "Rescue the Zhejiang Army? How to save it? We can't even get past Jiangbei, how can we go to the Yinghuo Mountains to save Zhang Cangshui?"

"Zhang Shangshu serves the country and the people, and is a hero of my Han family. How can I not save him!" Zhou Shixiang got up and looked around the generals, and then said to Li Zhicui, "Who said that we can't get through Jiangbei? Not only can we go to Jiangbei, but Nanjing You can also go to the city!"

"How to get there!" the generals asked in unison.

Zhou Shixiang didn't speak, but focused his eyes on Suna's face.

"Master?" Suna was stunned, wondering what the master meant when he saw him.

Gui Yongzhi has been a staff teacher for decades, and he has an exquisite heart. Seeing this, if he understands something, he said, "Could it be that the commander wants to touch the Manchu soldiers in the army?"

"It's not touching the past, it's just right and swaggering in the past!"

Zhou Shixiang's plan was very simple. Naturally, the main force of the Taiping army could not cross the river, but the Manchu soldiers and Mongolian soldiers in the army could go, because as long as they changed into the clothes of the Qing army, they would be full-fledged Mongolian soldiers!

Zhou Shixiang quickly made arrangements and ordered the Manchu soldiers and Mongolian soldiers of the Northern Expedition to be transferred out to form a Manchu and Mongolia special action team. In addition to rescuing Zhang Huangyan's remnants of the Zhejiang Army and picking them up, the task of the Manchurian Special Action Team also has a more important task, which is to destroy, destroy, and destroy again!

The yamen, military camps, post stations, food and grass transportation lines, local gentry, and post soldiers of the Qing army in the Qing Dynasty... As long as it is related to the local government rule of the Qing Dynasty and the people, things and institutions of the Qing army, they are all from the Manchu and Mongolian special action teams. Target.

Take advantage of the identity of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, the prestige of the Manchu and Mongolian Great Tartarians in the hearts of local officials and green camps in the Qing Dynasty, the fear of those officials and soldiers for the Great Tartarians, the backwardness of communication means in this era, and the fundamental nature of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I don't know that there are a large number of Manchu and Mongolian surrendered soldiers in the Taiping Army. (All known have been wiped out), Zhou Shixiang ordered the Manchu and Mongolian special action team to create panic in Jiangnan Left and Jiangnan Right, paralyze the Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan, cut off the Qing army The flood road caused the Qing army in Nanjing to become deaf and blind.

"The ultimate goal of the Manchurian and Mongolian Special Action Team is to make the Qing army in Jiangnan distrust the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. No one believes in the Eight Banners soldiers. The Qing troops in various places are suspicious of each other. No one communicates between the counties, and no one communicates, so that there is no government in the entire Jiangnan!"

"I ask all the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers to show their former prestige, get into the stomach of the Qing army, stir them up, and tear them apart!"

The task of setting up the Manchu and Mongolian special action team was handed over to Suna and Wang Fuchen, because they had the most Manchu and Mongolian soldiers.

Zhou Shixiang had no doubts about the loyalty of the Manchu and Mongolian Special Action Team, because the military law of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was harsh. During the war, Shangguan and his subordinates would be executed. Moreover, the Mongolian soldiers had a Manchu prince, a county king, and Wu The amount is really, the capital, the co-leaders, the ginseng leaders, and the lives of the Manchu soldiers. And those Manchu soldiers who surrendered, tens of thousands of Manchu women and children in Guangzhou Mancheng watched them from the sky.

The Qing court could spare those Han officials who surrendered to the Taiping army, but it would never spare these Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, because their existence and actions were the greatest threat to Manchu rule.

"If you don't follow me, they have to follow Jidu!"

Of course, when Wang Fuchen and Suna selected the Manchu and Mongolian special action team, they still paid attention to the placement of officers. There were a small number of Han officers in the action team, and the Manchu and Mongolian officers were also used as partners to ensure that the action team would not go wrong.

There were 16 Manchu and Mongolian special action teams sent to Jiangnan for activities. There are as many as a hundred people in other ministries, and as few as dozens of people, including 96 real Manchu soldiers.

After receiving the task, these former Manchurians quickly disappeared in the land of Jiangnan. They didn't even bother to make the customs documents, because what came out of their mouths was their identity proof, which was the biggest guarantee for their safety.
