Chapter 216 Three into the Yangtze River (Part 1)

What do you want to destroy the country and the family? There is my teacher at the head of the lake in Xizi.》

The sun and the moon hang in the clan’s tomb, and the Yue Family Temple is halfway through the universe.

I am ashamed to divide the su hands into three seats and plan to borrow a branch of my heart.

In the future, the light carriages on the East and Zhejiang Road will not be the raging waves!

Zhang Huangyan's "Dialogue in the Hometown in August"

………….

southeast.

In November, Zhang Mingzhen, the general under the command of King Lu, and Zhang Huangyan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War of the Supervisor, met with Gan Hui, the Zheng Chenggong army, and Chen Liu recovered Zhoushan. After the Ming army entered the city, they found that only six households were left in the city. Before the Qing army massacred the city, the people in Zhoushan City had more than 18,000 yellow lists and a population of 90,000.

When Zhang Mingzhen was young, he was upright and generous, with great strategy, and had ambitions. He traveled to the capital. Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Dongchang, was invited as a guest of honor and had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. At the end of Chongzhen, he served as the deputy general as a guerrilla in Shipu, Taizhou. In the summer of the first year of Hongguang, Nanjing and Hangzhou were successively lost. At that time, Qian Sule, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Justice of Nanjing, and others raised troops to support King Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and the king of Lu, was in charge of Shaoxing, and Zhang Mingzhen went to the sea. After King Lu retreated into the sea, Zhang Mingzhen always followed his entourage. Later, Zhoushan fell, and King Lu went to Xiamen with Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan to rely on Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong was a staunch supporter of the Longwu regime, and was dissatisfied with the opposition between King Lu and the Longwu regime after the reign of the country, but he was still treated with courtesy by King Lu, and arranged for him to live in Kinmen.

King Lu lived behind Kinmen, and Zhang Mingzhen led his troops to stay in Zhoushan for a wait. In the third year of Lu Jianguo (the first year of Yongli), he welcomed King Lu to return to eastern Zhejiang. The following year, he joined forces with Ruan Jin to attack Huang Binqing, the general of Zhoushan named in the Fenglongwu period. Huang was destroyed by Ruan Jin and Chenhai. Zhang Yinglu officially stationed in Zhoushan. After that, he led troops into the Yangtze River three times with Zhang Huangyan and others, hoping to recover the lost territory of the Ming Dynasty, but returned because of weak troops.

This is the third time that the Ming army recovered Zhoushan, and it is also the third time that the Qing army massacred Zhoushan by Zhoushan. Since the arrival of King Zhu Yihai of Lu, the people of the Ming family along the coast fled to Zhoushan in large numbers. In addition, the Ming army general Yue, who followed King Lu to sea, had a large population of Zhoushan, so that the food on the island was not enough for the people to eat.

The Qing army captured Zhoushan three times, and each time it occupied it, it slaughtered the city three times. There were as many as 400,000 people in Zhoushan who died under the butcher knife. This time, the Qing soldiers took advantage of Zhang Mingzhen's opportunity to attack Songjiang and suddenly crossed the sea to attack. After the Qing army entered the city, they would kill everyone. The Qing generals made an appointment to kill until the rooster crowed. As a result, when the Qing army arrived at Liujiaao on Zhoushan Island, they heard the rooster crowing and stopped killing people. It was because of the rooster crowing that the last six families in Zhoushan were saved.

After the Qing army massacred the city, they retreated. The Ming army recovered nothing more than an empty city, an empty city full of corpses. Under the whisper of the sea breeze, the stench of the dead people filled the entire Zhoushan Island.

………

Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, did not stay on the island when Zhoushan City was broken, nor did he attack Songjiang with Zhang Mingzhen. Instead, he went to Xiamen to ask Zheng Chenggong to send troops to help. After learning that Zhoushan City was broken, Zhang Huangyan was anxious. At his repeated requests, Zheng Chenggong sent his general Gan Hui and Chen Liu to lead 5,000 naval officers and soldiers to help Zhoushan.

After the navy led by Gan Hui and Chen Liu arrived in Zhoushan, Zhang Mingzhen had previously led his troops to recover Zhoushan. Zhang Huangyan was worried about the lives and death of the people in Zhoushan. As a result, as soon as he stepped on the land of Zhoushan, he smelled a disgusting smell in his nose. He knew what was happening on the island in an instant. He couldn't help but clench his fists with his hands, and his veins were protruding. He was indignant.

In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army marched southward and successively defeated Yangzhou, Nanjing, Jiading, Hangzhou and other cities. Some civil and military officials in Ningbo fled in panic, while some planned to surrender. The twenty-five-year-old juren Zhang Huangyan stepped forward and joined the army. At that time, Qian Sule, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Justice, led a crowd to gather at the City God Temple in the Mansion. Zhang Huangyan resolutely participated and proposed to serve the king and gather his troops to promote righteousness. He also submitted a letter to Tiantai to ask King Zhu of Lu to go north to supervise the country and be appointed as Hanlin editor. Later, the Qing army broke into Qiantang. Zhang Huangyan then fled to the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian with the King of Lu to the coast of Zhoushan.

In May of the first year of Longwu (the third year of Shunzhi of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty), the Qing Dynasty's general Beile Boluo took advantage of the opportunity to break through the Qiantang River, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Yiwu, Jinhua and other cities successively lost. The royal family of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Prince Le'an, Prince Chu, and Prince Jinping died in Jinhua.

After the Qiantang River defense line was broken by the Qing army, King Zhu Yihai of Lu had no choice but to go out from Taizhou to Zhoushan under the escort of Shipu Zhang Mingzhen. Hearing that the King of Lu fled to Zhoushan, Zhang Huangyan immediately rushed back to his hometown in Yin County, bid farewell to his father, stepmother, wife, and children, and resolutely embarked on the road to follow King Lu and his ranks.

The King of Lu originally wanted to gain a foothold in Zhoushan, but the general of Zhoushan, Huang Binqing, the captive Hou of Suo, was granted by Emperor Longwu, refused to accept King Lu and his party. There was no way out. King Lu had to flee to Changyuan, Fujian. Soon, King Lu went to Xiamen to rely on Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Mingzhen stayed in Zhoushan for a while. After the situation was settled, Zhang Huangyan, who was awarded the right assistant censor by King Lu, immediately returned to Zhejiang and Zhoushan areas, and organized the recruitment of rebel troops with Zhang Mingzhen, and actively planned the battle to march into the Yangtze River.

In the autumn of the seventh year of Yongli (the tenth year of Shunzhi of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty), Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan led the army to the north from Fujian on a boat and arrived at the estuary of the Yangtze River in September. Local people responded one after another, and the Qing Jiangning Governor Zhou Guozuo had to lead the army to Shanghai in person. Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan led the Ming army to station in Sanjiansha, Baisha, Pingyang and other places on Chongming Island, set up camps and actively contacted the mainland's Fuming forces, but did not immediately launch the Battle of the Yangtze River.

In the first month of the eighth year of Yongli (the eleventh year of Shunzhi), almost at the same time as Li Dingguo launched the Xinhui Campaign in Guangdong, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan led the Ming army to enter the Yangtze River estuary in batches, rushed through the Qing army's flood control area to reach Guazhou, Zhenjiang. The Ming army landed on Jinshan and seized ten Qing army's anti-risk cannons, gunpowder, money, grain and other items. Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan, and general Liu Kongzhao led 500 soldiers to the Jinshan Temple, and went southeast to worship Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, wrote poems and expressed their graces, and cried:

Ten years of a lonely minister across the sea, and the beauty of Zhongshan is really good.

The flag of Que Shou Yi was just out of Chu, and Yanyun’s feathered edict had already spread to Fujian.

The king's heart was choked, and the elders were tearful and wept.

Looking south at Xiaoling, the soldiers in Xiaoling are covered with mourning clothes, and the dragon centre is seen.

Zhang Mingzhen's Haishi stayed in Zhenjiang for two or three days. After the Qing Dynasty's Governor Ma Guozhu, who was stationed in Nanjing, discussed with the Manchu and Han officials stationed in Nanjing, urgently sent the admiral to lead troops from Pukou and reinforce Yizhen and Guazhou; Ashihaha Fannikan led troops from Longtan to rescue Zhenjiang. Before the Qing army arrived, the Ming army returned to the boat to head east. On the sixth day of March, Zhang's Ming army landed on the 400th in the 400th in the Yangzhou Prefecture Lu Si, defeated the defending Qing army, and seized the Dahe Camp garrison seal. This is the first battle to enter the Yangtze River.
