This is actually the main reason why Shaoxing Prefecture does not recognize Zhu Youjian, and of course their respective interests are also one of the key points.

So much so that later both sides turned against each other and killed each other's envoys, and the fire and fire were incompatible.

However, although Zhu Youjian encountered a nail in Shaoxing Prefecture, he was not discouraged. According to his ideas, this was a great opportunity. He believed that there were Lu Jianguo and Zheng Zhilong's troops to fight against the Qing army. As long as he moved to Ganzhou or Hunan, he could control the troops transferred from Ganzhou, Huguang, Guangdong, Yunnan and Guizhou to compete with the Qing army nearby, thereby regaining lost territory.

This idea should be correct. However, before his plan was implemented, it was opposed by Zheng Zhilong, He Tengjiao and others, and the fetus was still in the womb and turned into a bubble.

Zhu Youjian repeatedly asked Zheng Zhilong to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops with the navy, and attacked Nanjing while the Qing Dynasty Jiangning Prefecture (Nanjing) stationed troops to assist Hubei, but they were all rejected.

These powerful figures under Zhu Youjian just regard Zhu Youjian as a tablet and do what they want to do in the name of Zhu Youjian, but I am embarrassed to do what they don’t want to do, and my strength does not allow it.

Therefore, since Zhu Youjian could not mobilize Zheng Zhilong's army from Fujian to Jiangxi, He Tengjiao, whom he had high hopes, sent elite soldiers from Hunan to Jiangxi to welcome him, was completely lost.

However, Hong Chengchou of the Qing Dynasty transferred Ke Yongsheng, Gao Jinku and other troops to Jiangxi to cooperate with Jin Shenghuan troops to fight, and successively captured Ji'an, Ganzhou, Nan'an and other prefectures.

The reversal of the situation in Jiangxi was attributed to Zheng Zhilong and He Tengjiao's selfishness. It not only directly led to the fall of the Longwu court, but also had a great impact on the development of the situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty later.

At this time, the Qing army occupied the entire eastern Zhejiang and the southeast, and two routes broke into Fujian. The Longwu Dynasty was already in danger.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is over.

The main reason why Wu Zheng did not go to Fujian and chose Shaoxing Prefecture was that this was the main reason why Zheng Zhilong, a family in the Longwu Dynasty, absolutely did not allow Wu Zheng to rise.

Wu Zheng had to rely on Zheng Zhilong to survive from nothing. Instead of being a lackey of a warlord and powerful minister, he would be more comfortable in Shaoxing Prefecture.

At least, there are righteous people like Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan in Shaoxing Prefecture who control the government.

Facts have also proved that Wu Zheng’s choice was correct.

The first round of armistice negotiations between Shaoxing Prefecture and the Qing court came to a difficult process and ended in an unhappy manner. The demands of both sides were too related.

The Qing court asked the Ming army to withdraw from Yingtian Prefecture, and the borders between the two sides were fixed on the front lines of Changzhou and Jiangyin, and at the same time, a non-aggression treaty was signed, with a validity period of ten years.

Wu Zheng not only did not want to withdraw from Yingtian Prefecture, but also wanted the Qing army to withdraw from Zhenjiang Prefecture. The two sides used the Yangtze River as the boundary, and the non-aggression treaty could be signed, but the time needed to be shortened to three years.

The gap between the two sides is too big to basically not make peace.

It is said that "if you can't get things on the battlefield, don't think you can get them at the negotiating table."

The war broke out again on both sides, but in this war, both sides had control over it and did not break out on the front line of the Yangtze River, but instead transferred the main battlefield to Shaoxing Prefecture, namely Pinggang Mountain.

The Qing court believed that a decisive battle in the short term was impossible. The court could not mobilize more than 100,000 troops to oppress the front line of the Yangtze River. In addition, without a powerful navy as a vanguard, it was very difficult to break through the Yangtze River. Instead of wasting important troops on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it was better to transfer to Fujian, destroy the Longwu Dynasty first, and then turn around to destroy Shaoxing Prefecture.

This central idea was caused by writing a letter to the Qing court thousands of miles away from Hong Chengchou in Zhenjiang. It has to be said that Hong Chengchou was indeed afraid of being beaten three times by Wu Zheng. He even thought not to fight with Wu Zheng again in his life.

The reason why the Qing court adopted Hong Chengchou's opinion was that the Qing court was indeed unable to achieve its strength and could not mobilize more troops for a while. In addition, the Qing court did value Hong Chengchou. In the end, Hong Chengchou had a great influence in the Qing court. As we all know, among the Ming ministers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou had the highest official position, and these surrendered ministers united around Hong Chengchou in unison. This is called joining together to keep warm.

Therefore, when Dorgon ordered to fight and talk, there was no substantial offense and defense along the Yangtze River. At most, the two sides of the shore artillery fired at a symbolic number of rounds to show its deterrence.

The real battlefield is in Pinggang Mountain.

In the past ten days, Duoduo transferred 16,000 reinforcements from Taizhou and Wenzhou, and at this time he had an army of 40,000.

However, Pinggang Mountain Village only has more than 12,000 troops, and of course, there are nearly 10,000 people, of which the number of strong men is about three or four thousand.

The Ming army was naturally at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but the terrain of Pinggang Mountain Village could not be won by the number of people.

Duoduo also did a lot of homework these days. He sent dozens of scouts from the surrounding area to climb the mountain, trying to attack the mountain village from top to bottom.

But the problem is that Pinggang Mountain is not an independent mountain. It already belongs to the Siming Mountains. The endless mountains are impossible for the Qing army to find a way to sneak attack and break through. Not only that, many of the dozens of scouts sent were missing because they were lost and could not find their way back.

In desperation, Duoduo gave up the idea of ​​taking a shortcut, so he arranged troops and decided to make a breakthrough.

He divided the 40,000 army into three parts, and 10,000 people from both sides of the left and right wings climbed up the mountain from both sides of the corridor, and 10,000 people broke through head-on, leaving more than 10,000 people to form a reserve team to deal with the unexpected.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the battle suddenly broke out.

After all, the power is great. Although the corridor is narrow and small, it is not enough to allow ten thousand Qing troops to attack from the front to surge up, the mountains on both sides of the corridor can accommodate large troops to climb up the mountain.

The Ming army had to deploy heavy forces on the mountains on both sides, because once the Qing army reached the top of the mountain, it would expose the entire mountain village to the enemy's overlook, which would be a real disaster.

Although the Ming army has top-down terrain advantages in the defense of the mountain, there are many difficulties.

Not to mention the dense trees, they have hindered the rolling stones and beating trees, and even arrows cannot pass through without restraint. This also gives the enemy the possibility of blocking them.

The frontal attack deployed by Duoduo turned into a feint attack, and the main battlefield moved to two mountains.

In the first battle, the Ming army suffered a great loss. The enemy surged from the bottom of the mountain, and the weapons in the Ming army almost did not cause much damage to it.

So in the end, the entire army had to appear from the position and charge downward, and then drove the first wave of enemies back to the forest at the foot of the mountain to eat dirt.

As a result, in half a day, the Ming army suffered a thousand casualties.

During a short rest, after learning that the enemy was preparing to attack from both sides of the mountains, Chen Sheng and others gathered together to discuss urgently.
