The commander of the water camp in Qingguazhou was Duduobi, the capital of the Zhenghong Banner in Manchuria. His father, Wu Erji, was the first Niu Luzhangjing, the second commander of the Zhenghong Banner. Zhao Lujiao, the general of the Ming Chongzhen Dynasty, shot an arrow when he was in Zunhua. killed.

After the sound of the cannon on the river, Duobi knew that the Ming army was definitely attacking the Beixinzhou fort. Although there were 4,000 defenders on Beixinzhou, Duobi didn't know how many troops came from the Ming army. If the Beixinzhou fort was lost, then the water camp in Guazhou would be exposed to the range of the Ming army's artillery fire. Don't even think about leaving the port even if you don't even have a boat from Zhoushuiying. The situation was really like that. Duobi couldn't imagine how the emperor would deal with him. For this reason, he immediately ordered the Han army and the green camp, and urged the water camp to immediately go out to the port to reinforce Beixinzhou. In any case, the Ming army could not be allowed to occupy the main points on the river.

After discovering that the Qing army's water camp had left the port, Zhang Huangyan immediately ordered the navy to turn up and down to meet them.

On the northern new state, the two brigades of the Taiping Army First Town who landed on the island fought bravely under the command of deputy general Zhu Qinglai. Dozens of people held giant trees and shouted horns to break open the gate of the Qing army camp on the left side of the fort. The Taiping army swarmed up, and Yang Guangxiao, the deputy general of the Qing army in North Xinzhou, led his own soldiers to resist stubbornly. The muddy ground on the island was full of people fighting. At the end of the battle, Yang Guangxiao saw that the reinforcements could not break through the Ming army navy, so he abandoned the army and hid in a secret place on the island.

After seeing the legendary thief, Yang Guangxiao knelt down and asked to surrender, but Zhou Shixiang waved his hand and ordered his guards to throw him down the mountain and fall to his death. Afterwards, an order was issued, and the Qing army who surrendered without fighting shall be used; those who surrendered without fighting shall not be accepted.

Zhang Huangyan commanded the navy to hold the Duobi unit firmly. Although the Ming navy had stronger sailors than the Qing army, the Qing army had more ships. The two sides were tied, and the casualties were heavy. Later, Duobi discovered that the Qing army on the island had been defeated, and the Ming army had used the island's artillery to bombard his fleet, so he had to order a retreat.

In this battle, the Ming army lost 3 sea ships, 41 civilian ships and 1256 soldiers; the Qing army lost 57 large and small warships and more than 1640 soldiers. More than 780 people were killed in the first town of the Taiping Army who landed on Beixin Island, and more than 1,000 were killed by the Qing army.

After the original plan to capture Beixinzhou, the Ming army will continue to attack the Guazhou water camp on the north bank to completely remove the tumor, so that the Jiangbei Qing army cannot cross the river. However, due to the large losses of the navy and the fatigue of the soldiers, Zhang Huangyan ordered the army to withdraw. Northern Xinzhou was guarded by two brigades of the first town and one of the Zheng Army, with a total of 5,800 troops, and the deputy general Zhu Qinglai personally sat in the town.

......

Just as the Ming and Qing sides were fighting on Beixinzhou Island and the nearby river, Yu Xin and Wei Dalong rushed to the wooden floating camp of the Qing army with more than 700 soldiers and more than 30 boats. The wooden floating camp is a floating dam made of tying giant trees. The surface of the dam is filled with soil and can accommodate 500 soldiers, 40 cannons, and the four corners are spires.

Wei Dalong first took people to dive into the water, quietly observed the structure of the wooden floating camp, and then returned to the boat.

Yu Xin didn't wait for Wei Dalong to take a breath, and asked him eagerly: "How? Brother Wei!"

"It's a rope, it's much easier than the iron chain of the rolling dragon!"

Wei Dalong exhaled and rubbed his frozen hands. His hands were red, and his face was even more red, not because of the cold, but because of excitement.

"Then **** them!"

Yu Xin personally led four sand boats and charged straight towards the wooden floating camp. The Qing soldiers found them and fired immediately. The four boats immediately retreated out of range, then turned their bows and rushed forward again. The Qing army fired again. The boat was shot, and the remaining three boats retreated. They turned their heads and rushed again. The Qing army was no longer fooled, and the two sides confronted each other.

At noon, the cannons could not be heard in the downstream direction. Yu Xin estimated that Zhang Shangshu and Gan Hui had completed the task, so he ordered all the ships to move forward together. Seeing this, the Qing army opened fire again. Yu Xin ordered to fight back. Dozens of ships were fired at full force, and the momentum was amazing.

"Bang! Bang!" A few times, the wooden floating camp was hit, and the wood and earth and rocks flew together, but the Qing army was not afraid. Unexpectedly, a scene that terrified the Qing soldiers happened. The originally thick wooden city structure began to disintegrate, and it continued to drift with the river.

"The city is scattered, run away!"

The Qing soldiers on the wooden floating camp quickly put down their boats and retreated to the north bank. It turned out that while Yu Xin lured the Qing army to spend artillery shells, Wei Dalong and others dived and cut the ropes of the Qing army's wooden floating camp. With one more hit from the cannon, the wooden floating camp will naturally disintegrate. Once the wooden city is disintegrated, no matter how many Qing troops there are and how fierce the artillery is, it will not help.

Yu Xin and Wei Dalong successfully completed the task of destroying the wooden floating camp of the Qing army, but the price paid was not small. There were 13 more than 30 ships and only 400 soldiers of more than 700 soldiers.

After the Qing army navy retreated into the Guazhou water camp, the artillery batteries on the ship and on the shore randomly bombarded the river surface. It sounds very powerful, but it's all useless and a waste of guns.

Zhou Shixiang rewarded meritorious soldiers in Zhenjiang City, and praised Gan Hui, Yu Xin, Guo Faguang, Wei Dalong and other generals.

Gan Hui said humbly: "The Guogong has won the prize! The reason for winning this battle is that the Guogong has a lot of trust, let go and make great use of me and wait."

Yu Xin, Guo Faguang, Wei Dalong and other generals were excited, and even meant to despise the Tartars. Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan, who was sitting beside Zhou Shixiang, shook his head slightly, and said to them with a stern face: "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. Have you forgotten the lesson of Nanjing City? Forgot the days of fleeing upstream?"

Hearing what Lord Shang Shu said, Yu Xin was immediately ashamed, as were Guo Faguang and Wei Dalong.

Zhou Shixiang got up and chuckled lightly, indicating that Lord Shangshu doesn't have to do this, he should be happy after winning the battle.

Zhang Huangyan eased his expression and said, "Although there are losses in the water camp in Guazhou, Tartar, but the system is still in place. If you don't pull it out one day, it will always be a nail.

Zhou Shixiang nodded and said: "If you control Beixinzhou, the Tartar water camp will not be able to come out. The goal has been achieved, and it is good to be able to wipe it out, but if the losses are heavy, it will not be worth the loss. I have ordered the Huguang Aid and Suppression Corps to take the Yangtze River water. The teacher has come, and when the army arrives, the Tartar water camp will be pulled first, and then the decisive battle with Fulin Xiaoer." After speaking, he bowed to Zhang Huangyan again, "At that time, Lao Shangshu will have to work hard."

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly avoided this ceremony and said: "Huangyan is a scholar, and the Duke of Guo led the entire army to advocate righteousness and restore Ming, and restore my southern capital. He has made great contributions to Daming, and even more graceful to our Zhejiang army. The matter of killing Tartar, I Since the start of the army, I have assumed my own responsibility, and I will not refuse if the prince does not say it!"

Zhou Shixiang asked Ge Yi to take Gan Hui and others to a banquet, and sat down with Zhang Huangyan to talk about the Zheng Jun soldiers. After the Taiping army broke through Nanjing, they rescued more than 5,000 soldiers of Zheng Jun, and more than 10,000 family members. The female family members who could be recovered were all recovered, and most of those who could not be recovered were dead. The family members are now settled in Nanjing, and there are more than 5,000 Zheng Jun soldiers and 2,000 also settled in Nanjing, and the rest are compiled in the Jiangnan Navy. It can be said that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The main force of the Jiangnan Navy is composed of Zheng Jun soldiers, accounting for half, the remaining half is the Zhejiang army, and the other half is the Taiping army.

Zhou Shixiang frankly told Zhang Huangyan what he meant. He wanted to keep the soldiers of Zheng Jun in the Taiping Army. This Yu Xin also wanted to do the same. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang wanted to ask Zhang Huang to send a letter of divorce to Jinxia, ​​and persuade the king of Yanping to agree to Gan Hui, Yu Xin and other Zheng Jun soldiers to stay in Jiangnan.

As for the Zhejiang army, Zhang Huangyan had talked to Zhou Shi long ago. The Zhejiang army only had more than 2,000 people left, with many family members. They were not good at land warfare and had no territory, so it was difficult to develop alone. Just as after the death of Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, Zhang Huangyan led his ministries to entrust his subordinates to Yanping, so the Master Shang Shu also took the initiative to join forces with the Taiping Army at this meeting. Zhou Shi was relatively unwilling to ask for this, so he agreed, and it was precisely because Zhang Huangyan offered to join forces that the Jiangnan Navy Division was established. this causal relationship.

Zhang Huangyan was a little hesitant. According to his understanding of King Yanping, he probably would not let Gan Hui and Yu Xin stay in the Taiping Army, but he still agreed to leave the letter and tried his best to persuade Yanping.

"I don't know what Yanping's plan is, whether he should join the Yangtze River at the invitation of the minister of the state and serve King Tang together, or attack Dasu and recover FJ Zhang Huangyan and secretly sigh, because he thinks that Yanping is mostly unwilling to serve King Tang.
