Along the way, the vast fleet was very spectacular, attracting many pairs of eyes.

However, in just one day and one night, the fleet passed Suqian.

The gentry and people of Southern Zhili, who were originally scared by the Eastern Captain's powerful killing power, were all excited when they heard that they were the army of Prince De of the "God of Fire" who went south to fight against the enemy.

God bless you!

Don't be afraid now!

There were even Yishu who led Yibing Township to help, and Ren Guogan was one of them. He was a juren during the Tianqi period. After learning that the Donglu had invaded the territory, he gathered the soldiers in the village to build a village to protect himself. When he heard that Prince De led a large army through Suqian, Ren Guogan hurriedly brought food and grass to comfort the army.

When he arrived by the Yellow River, he saw that the fleet was really incredible!

More than a hundred thousand stone canal boats lined up in a row, with baffles standing on the waist, and arrow holes in the baffles. More than ten boats were connected into one, one by one, one by one, and one by one was biting and one by one. The one behind was not far apart. This huge fleet of ships flowed down the center of the Yellow River. When they were on the shore, they could vaguely see the name of each boat's eyes burned with fire iron.

Ren Guogan didn't know that in fact, when the carriages and horses he led were still ten miles away from the fleet, they had been targeted. If they hadn't discovered through the camera that they were all Han people, they wouldn't be able to get close to the river at all. They wouldn't be allowed to row a boat to get close to the fleet.

"Who is coming!"

Listening to the shouts coming from the boat, Ren Minyu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, quickly shouted loudly.

"After the Suqian Juren Ren Guogan heard that Prince De led his troops south to fight against the enemy, he came to reward the army, and there was also an urgent military information to report to the Prince!"

Reporting to the military situation again!

Zhu Guoqiang naturally welcomed the righteous men who reported the military information. Their presence along the way saved him a lot of effort, and at least he could grasp the movements of the Qing army.

"Criminal, after Dorgon arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, he seized Qinghe County first. Although Huaian Prefecture retreated all the ships in Hebei to the south bank, and even on Hongze Island in Hongze Lake, Qinghe County has several shipyards, more than 10,000 ship craftsmen and a large number of ship materials. At present, Dorgon sent a large army to kill and capture the people in Hebei, and built ships in Qinghe, with great momentum of crossing the river and heading south..."

The reason why Ren Guogan led Ding Zhuang to come was to report the military information. After all, Suqian is in Hebei and may be defeated by the Eastern Captains at any time. Although most of the people in Suqian have retreated to the south bank, it is their home. Now that the prince has arrived, he feels much more at ease.

"shipbuilding……"

The information provided by Ren Guogan made Zhu Guoqiang raise his eyebrows. This is really not like the Qing army.

I actually learned how to build a ship.

Is shipbuilding very fast?

"Criminal Master, Dorgon not only built ships in Qinghe, but also deployed the Red Barbarian cannons on the Yellow River embankment of Qinghe. According to the news that the villain heard that the prince brought troops over, he arranged artillery teams on the river. The villain heard that whenever a ship passed through the river, the Donglu would shell the river boats. The Donglu's artillery team was extremely powerful and even hit the shells to Matou Town at the mouth of Hongze Lake on the other side."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a long time.

Build ships and build turrets!

This Qing army is a bit strange!

In fact, what Zhu Guoqiang didn't know was that the Qing army's actions were more helpless, especially when setting up artillery teams on the river bank, he forced them to do so. After the news that Abatai was shot and killed thousands of people by gunships under Xuzhou City reached Dorgon, he immediately arranged artillery teams on the river bank to stop the Ming army's gunships from sneak attacks.

"Dorgon's reaction was very fast. He set up a fort not only to prevent me from shelling the river, but also to avoid attacking the river when the Yellow River is strong. It also blocked our way into Hongze Lake. This is equivalent to helping Abatai. We can't enter Hongze Lake, so we naturally cannot enter Huai River. Abatai is really like entering the uninhabited land."

After thinking about it for a while and understanding the other party's intention, Zhu Guoqiang continued to ask.

"Are there any trends of Abatai?"

"Criminal Master, someone said yesterday that Abatai had already arrived at Suzhou two days ago. I believe that Suzhou has been defeated by them now. Now they are probably in this position..."

Looking at the location marked on the map, Zhu Guoqiang frowned.

On one side is Dorgon from Qinghe, and on the other side is Abatai from Zhongdu!

Both sides must be guarded, but I have so many troops!

"Where has Hong Chengchou been?"

In order to block the Qing army, Chongzhen not only ordered Nanzhili to recruit local tyrants to defend the city, but also ordered Hong Chengchou to lead 100,000 troops south, but their speed was really touching! It was not a big deal for Hong Chengchou. First, his army had just assembled, and second, because they were mixed infantry and cavalry, and they marched only for dozens of miles a day.

"Just just passed Linqing..."

Obviously, Hong Chengchou's side means that he can't move forward.

Besides, even if he led his troops over, it is still unknown whether Hong Chengchou can beat Dorgon.

"The prince, the Donglu now has two troops, pointing directly to Zhongdu and Huai'an. If the Beizhi expected it was not bad, they would definitely have set their sights on Huai'an. Huai'an, especially the Qingjiangpu, is the throat of the canal transport. The accumulated grain of grain in this period of time every year is less than two or three million stones. Since the Donglu broke through the wall, they have been running all the way. Even a large town with a population of millions like Linqing can be spared, and they must be able to get it quickly!"

As soon as Chen Wudi finished speaking, Qian Degong also hurriedly said.

"Criminal, it doesn't matter how much rice is in Cangcao. Besides, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River here. Beizhi thinks the most embarrassing thing is Abatai's army. After they have passed Suzhou, it is not impossible to go straight to Zhongdu, cross the Huaihe River, or even threaten Nanjing!"

"That's right, the prince, although there is a lot of grain, but even if he robs it, how can he transport it back to Liaodong? Besides, if they just grab the grain, they can grab a lot on the north bank. If we keep a close eye on Dorgon, if he doesn't move, should we keep staring at him here? At that time, Abatai will be in a state of no one!"

"Criminal Master, General Qian said very much. I thought Abatai would definitely go south after conquering Suzhou, and take the opportunity to destroy Zhongdu and Nanzhi. As for Dorgon, although he would wait for an opportunity to cross the river, he could not threaten the hinterland of Nanzhi for the time being, so the most threatening is the Donglu led by Abatai."

"But now the Qing army's artillery is locked at the mouth of the lake. If you want to enter the Huai River, you have to pass through the mouth of the river! But there is a Donglu artillery team blocking the mouth of the river!"

Listening to everyone's analysis, Zhu Guoqiang stared at Suzhou and Huaian on the map.

Things are a bit tricky!
Chapter completed!
