Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "If Your Majesty wants the remnants of the Jiangbei Navy, I will never stop you."

Zhu Cilang pondered for a while and said, "No need, I have no intention of forcing it. It's not sweet to force melons, I still understand this principle."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cixuan looked at Wu Zheng for a long time and finally said, "If you come here just for this matter, I... agree."

Wu Zheng worshiped and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness for your family. I also want to say something to Your Majesty... Your Majesty has this love."

Zhu Cilang said lightly: "I am just for my people and have nothing to do with you."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "I understand, I will leave!"

When Wu Zheng turned around and turned around, Zhu Cixuan suddenly said, "If I exchange this for you, what if I change this matter to you?"

Wu Zheng turned around and said, "Please speak with your Majesty."

"The north and the south are watching and helping each other to resist the Qing army." Zhu Cixuan thought for a while and added, "You can't resist within five years."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised and slowly came back to his taste.

Zhu Cixuan asked for help so fresh and refined, which made Wu Zheng admire him.

As for the five-year agreement, Wu Zheng had no objection. In Wu Zheng's opinion, five years of the Northern Expedition may not be enough. If Zhu Cilang does not get entangled with him, he will be Amitabha.

Wu Zheng took a breath and replied: "I... obey the order!"

Zhu Cilang slowly stretched out his hand, "A gentleman promised."

Wu Zheng walked back a few steps, reached out and high five, and said, "A gentleman promise!"

....

The Palace of Rouyi.

Zheng San bowed in Zhu Ma's ear and said, "Princess, Duke Zhenguo has safely left Hongwu Gate."

Zhu Mai sighed, "Why did he come?"

Zheng San shook his head and said, "I only know that the Duke Zhenguo humiliated the chief minister Qian Qianyi in front of His Majesty and the Dukes. He slapped the chief minister and kicked him. The chief minister was carried to the imperial doctor for treatment with blood on his face. After that, the Duke Zhenguo and His Majesty played against each other in Hanliang Hall for half an hour. All the ministers were waiting outside the hall, and no one knew what the report was.

Zhu Mai said angrily: "I'm still so impatient, still so arrogant and domineering... He really thinks that Your Majesty can indulge him like this?"

Zheng San whispered: "But in the end, Your Majesty did not punish Duke Zhenguo."

Zhu Mai looked at Zheng San.

Zheng San quickly slapped himself gently, bowed to apologize and said, "Your Highness, I am talking too much."

Zhu Mei sighed softly and said, "Let's disperse all the Ye Xiaoxiao. If you can make peace like this, it will be considered that God blesses me to go to the court."

"Here."

....

The next day, Qian Sule, Chen Zilong, Wang Yi and other sixteen ministers jointly wrote a letter.

He advised the emperor and amnesty the rebels to show the mercy of the state and the emperor.

The emperor adopted the advice of his ministers and immediately issued an order that the family members involved in the rebels in Jiangbei could be punished for death and could not escape the crime of living. All of them were confiscated into slavery and did not speak to Songjiang to serve as a coolie, and they were punished by labor.

As a result, the Songjiang government accepted the first batch of "immigrants".

....

If the battle is for the sake of face, it is a battle to the death.

Both the Qing court and the Yixing Dynasty had almost all the troops that could be mobilized at this time and recruited all the strong men who could be summoned to fight this war that should not have happened at the moment.

The initiator, Wu Zheng, Duke of Zhenguo of Yixing Dynasty, has returned to Songjiang.

According to the promise reached with Zhu Cixuan, the Jinshan Guard of the Northern Expedition Army began to march towards Zhenjiang Prefecture, and the subsequent Hangzhou Guard of the subsequent Hangzhou Guard had also set off from Hangzhou Prefecture.

As Wu Zheng expected when he met with Wang Zhiren, the war began with a bloody battle.

As soon as the Qing army started the war, it crossed the river surface over a hundred miles with 20,000 troops in Yingtian Prefecture and Zhenjiang.

There were nearly 800 large and small artillery guns on both sides, and they participated in the confrontation from the beginning, and thousands of boats were rushing across the Baili River.

The huge and hot projectiles hit the water, stirring up huge waves and raising a mist of water.

Although the shells at this time did not have the explosive power of the shells in later generations, their potential energy was still powerful. All the ships hit by them were destroyed and people were killed, causing chaos in the sky.

The two sides sailed near the center of the river and attacked the fire ships. The closer they were to shoot the crossbows. Until the two sides were in a stalemate, the soldiers began to jump onto the other side's ships and began to fight.

The war has been an endless war of attrition from the beginning.

The rolling Yangtze River devours the lives of soldiers on both sides regardless of their enemies.

One day, the wreckage of ships and the bodies of the dead were almost covered with the river.

Under the night, the remaining fires, together with the clear moon, reflected the battlefield's wretchedness and misfortune. From time to time, there was a faint sound of Shen Yin, who had not yet died, intermittently and extremely painful.

What is the ultimate love between Chu? The destruction of Qin has not yet calmed down.

The wind is clear and the horns are strong, and the sunset is bright.

Whiteness rewards the country, and spears and ships conquer life and death!

Hu Zuo has eternal regret, and a moon is coming to the city.

Wang Zhiren used 20,000 naval troops to force the Qing army to cross the river.

On the first day, the navy killed more than 2,700 people.

It is not that the Qing army's water battle capabilities have already crushed the Ming army, but that this all-round and large-scale crossing of the river made Wang Zhiren's navy unable to concentrate on one or one side to fight.

The navy's dispersed and blocked tactics made the navy unable to exert its maximum combat power.

This is the fundamental reason why more than 2,700 people were killed on the first day, but the Qing army still suffered much more casualties than the navy.

The Qing army attacked 20,000, 3,000 vanguards were crippled, and the main force lost more than 20%, with a total of more than 6,000 casualties.

Among them, more than 3,000 people died in battle, mainly because they fell into water and drowned or disappeared during the war.

Wang Zhiren felt that it was not good. The intensity of the Qing army's attack was far beyond imagination, so he rushed to the court for help.

At the same time, he fought for help from Songjiang Wu.

At the first time, Wu Zheng transferred Jinshanwei westward to replace Dantu and surrounding defense.

This strengthens the land defense between Zhenjiang and Dantu.

At the same time, Wu Zheng ordered the Zhoushan Navy to reach Jiangyin, but did not continue to advance westward.

This is when Wu Zheng was worried that the Qing army would set up another battlefield to attack Jiangyin from the direction of Jingjiang after being blocked from the attack of Yingtianfu and Zhenjiang.

At this time, the Qing army in Jiangbei was known as a 100,000 army, but the main force was less than 60,000.

But these 60,000 people have already overwhelmed Yixingchao.

Wu Zheng could not imagine what would be the deterioration of the battle situation if the Qing army appeared on the river in the direction of Jiangyin.

Wu Zheng did not dare to mobilize the Zhoushan Navy to advance westward to reinforce Wang Zhiren.

In addition, Wu Zheng believed that according to the previous agreement with Wang Zhiren, who was unacceptable to the orders of the outside king, once Wang Zhiren could not withstand, he would give up the obstruction corresponding to the direction of Tianfu, and make every effort to defend the direction of Zhenjiang, and allow part of the Qing army to be blocked by the defenders of Yingtianfu.

Therefore, Wu Zheng did not realize that the complexity of human hearts is ultimately unpredictable.

It was another two days of fierce fighting, and when the battle stopped on the third day, Wang Zhiren could no longer hold on.

There were 20,000 navy personnel, more than 40% of the casualties, and more than half of the warships were damaged.

It is no longer possible to form a blockade corresponding to the entire river from Tianfu to Zhenjiang.
