On the Nanjing side, the Prince of Yanping County was undoubtedly deceived. The victories in the two wars of Guazhou and Zhenjiang and a large number of prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River made him make a wrong judgment. He even believed that the Qing army in Nanjing would surrender a month later. .
On the one hand, Lang Tingzuo, the governor of the two rivers in the Qing Dynasty, said "please surrender" in the name of allegiance to the Jiangnan Admiral, so as to delay the troops; on the other hand, he mobilized all available troops from the nearby areas at the cost of giving up some states and counties, and at the same time sent a hundred thousand urgent requests to the Qing court for help. Play sparse. Before Zhou Zuo's reinforcements arrived, Lang Tingzuo, Shuo Erhui, Ga Chuha, Guan Xiaozhong and others knew that their strength was invincible and did not dare to go out to fight.
The first reinforcements to arrive in Nanjing were 4,000 soldiers led by Liang Huafeng, the commander-in-chief of the Suzhou Navy. Liang Huafeng first reunited with Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangning, in Suzhou. Later, when he entered Danyang, he received four consecutive dispatches from Governor Lang Tingzuo to help Nanjing.
Knowing that Nanjing was in critical condition, Liang Huafeng sent troops overnight and arrived in Jurong County on the morning of the 26th. At this time, Jurong had already surrendered to Zheng Jun after paying the money, and the place was hilly and luxuriant, so Liang Huafeng suspected that Zheng Jun would have an ambush in Jurong, and ordered a strict guard to search forward.
After passing the dangerous place, Liang Huafeng breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to his subordinates: "The pirates are too careless, and Jurong does not put any troops at risk in such dangerous places. If they deploy thousands of troops here, I will not be able to pass. "
In the middle of the night, Liang Huafeng led his troops to the city of Nanjing. Lang Tingzuo was overjoyed when he heard that Liang Huafeng was coming to help, and hurriedly ordered to open the Zhengyang Gate to let Liang Jun enter the city. Since then, during the large-scale "siege of the city" by the Zheng army, the Qing troops stationed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places rushed to Nanjing one after another.
The plan includes: 300 infantrymen led by Xu Dengdi under the command of Admiral Su Song;
Jinshan Battalion General Zhang Guojun led 1,000 infantry soldiers;
The navy right battalion garrison Wang Dacheng led 150 infantry;
500 officers and soldiers stationed in Hangzhou Xieling Yatali and others;
Zhao Guozuo, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Angbangzhangjing Kekui stationed in Hangzhou sent 500 armored Manchurian soldiers stationed in Hangzhou to lead 500 Manchurian soldiers in the garrison of Huangqi Gushan Dayadali and Jialazhangjing Tong Haonian;
Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi sent Fubiao guerrilla Liu Chengyin to lead 500 elite soldiers;
Hezhou Vice-General Lai Tianguang led 600 troops;
Dangtu guerrilla Jiang Qing led 260 troops;
Wuhu General Zhao Zhen led 480 troops;
......
During the siege of the city, Qing troops from the upper and lower reaches of Nanjing continued to enter Nanjing through the Zheng Army line of defense. In Anqing, Qing'an Prince Yue Le also sent 1,600 troops to help by boat, and actually entered Nanjing City under the eyes of Zheng Jun's navy. For the first and second half of the month, more than 10,000 reinforcements entered Nanjing, and reinforcements from Shandong, Henan, and Jiangnan continued one after another.
On July 16, Emperor Shunzhi, who had left Beijing to go to the south of Beijing to go on a personal expedition, received an urgent report from Lang Tingzuo, and ordered the minister of the interior, Dasu, to be General Annan. , and ordered the governor of water transport to supervise troops to go to the rescue when Kang was able. Kang Deshi was forced by the imperial decree and his life was at stake, so he had to go to Gaoyou to help Nanjing. However, he had already been frightened by Zheng Jun, thinking that if he did not die from the enemy, he would die from the law, so on July 28, he was on the way from the ship. Jump into the water to kill yourself.
The king of Yanping County knew nothing about the successive arrival of reinforcements from Zhou Zuo in Nanjing. All the army generals thought that when the time came, Nanjing would surrender when the city opened, so the army was slack. The vanguard entrenched Yu Xin's battalion under the city of Nanjing. Everything in the battalion was exposed to the eyes of the Qing army on the city, and there was no defense at all. The soldiers in the army are in groups of three or five, and they just go to the riverside for fishing every day for fun. Guan Xiaozhong and others saw Zheng Jun soldiers densely packed along the Yangtze River on the top of the city, and there were not many soldiers in the camp to be alert.
Lang Tingzuo and Ang Bang Zhang Jing Shuo Erhui thought that this was Zheng Jun's intentional showing of weakness, so as to lure the Qing army to attack, and they did not agree to Guan Zhong's request to fight. In addition, some generals also thought that they had finally used the fraudulent surrender to gain a month for Nanjing. Reinforcements from various places continued to arrive, and the situation became favorable for the Qing army. They might as well continue to delay. People's hearts will drag on for a while longer. At that time, the imperial army may not be far from Jiangnan. As long as Jiang Ning insists, he may not be able to last until the arrival of the emperor's army. If you take the initiative to attack the city now, you will not even have the opportunity to delay time.
When there was a debate in Nanjing over whether to take the initiative to attack, Yang Ying, the household official of the Wang vassal of Yanping County, outside the city, discovered that Yu Xin's subordinates from Qianfeng Town had left the floodplain to fish by the river while inspecting the battalions. The king of Yanping County. King Yanping did not take this matter to heart after he got the report. As long as Yu Xin was in charge of his subordinates, he could go fishing by the river with his soldiers, and the soldiers remained in the camp. However, Yu Xin did not pay attention to this matter. As time went by, more and more voices in Jiangning City asked to take the initiative to attack, because the movements of the Ming army outside the city did not seem like a trick to lure the enemy.
As for the Zheng army, not only did the Yu Xin army disperse, but the rest of the army also completely lost the appearance of an army. Including the central army of the Yanping king Zheng Chenggong, the Zheng army of each army not only expanded their camps like Yu Xin's army, but also cast nets and fished on the riverside. Fishing, and no longer strictly interrogate traders, allowing people to come and go. Some Zheng Jun camps are even more lively like a market. Traders and farmers near Nanjing go to Zheng Jun camp every day to go to the market to sell eggs, cloth, rice wine and other items to Zheng Jun. This situation was quickly detected by the Qing army. At first, Lang Tingzuo and the others didn't believe it. Later, they sent someone dressed up as a vendor to scout the Zheng Jun camp, and they passed the checkpoint easily without being carefully checked by Zheng Jun. Some of the Qing army's meticulous work dressed up as vegetable sellers even boarded the Zheng Jun navy ship by the river. As soon as they got on the boat, many women gathered around to pick and buy their vegetables.
Zheng Jun outside the city is so absurd, and the voice of taking the initiative to attack naturally rises, but Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangning, is firmly opposed to the battle, thinking that the movement of Zheng Jun outside the city is too strange, and he does more mistakes, so he might as well wait. Some Qing army generals who had participated in the battles of Guazhou and Zhenjiang also did not agree to fight. Those generals who escaped from Guazhou and fled back to Nanjing in Manchuria were even killed and did not agree to go out of the city to fight Zheng Jun to the death.
Guan Zhongzhong, who tried his best to fight, could not get the approval of most people. When he was anxious, Liang Huafeng stood up and thought that when he went out of the city to fight back and killed Zheng Jun, he was caught off guard. Liang Huafeng suggested that the 500 armored Manchurian soldiers stationed in Hangzhou led by Gushan Daya Dali and Jia Lazhang Jing Tong Haonian who had just arrived in Nanjing would go out of the city to attack the Zheng army, but Daya Dali and Tong Haonian disagreed, believing that they only had 500 armored soldiers. In case of annihilation, there will not be enough Manchu soldiers in Nanjing to suppress the green camps of the Han army.
Guan Zhongzhong was so angry that he quarreled with Daya Dali. As the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Zhenjiang, Guan Zhongzhong killed 4,000 Manchu Eight Banners soldiers in the first battle, which led to the corruption of the war in Jiangnan. If he spared him, he could basically be sure of looting the family and destroying the family. For this reason, Guan Zhongzhong must not sit back and wait for the opportunity. He tried his best to lobby Governor Lang Tingzuo with Liang Huafeng, requesting to go out of the city to attack Zheng Jun.
"The pirates under the mark are not like soldiers at all, but rather like refugees, rabble, no military discipline, just need a surprise attack, the pirates will definitely be defeated!"
Lang Tingzuo hesitated again and again, and was finally persuaded by Guan Zhongzhong and Liang Huafeng, but he refused to send 500 armored Manchu soldiers brought by Daya Dali from Hangzhou to attack the city, and only ordered Guan and Liang to lead their cavalry out of the city. At dawn the next day, Liang Huafeng led more than 500 cavalry troops out of Yifeng Gate, and Guan Zhongzhong led more than 1,000 troops out of Zhongfu Gate, and suddenly attacked Zheng Jun's camp~www.mtlnovel.com~Yu Xin thought that Yifeng Gate was located there. It is remote, and the front of the city wall is covered with reeds. It seems that no one can come and go, so it is not fortified. I did not expect the Qing army to attack from this. Liang Huafeng personally led 500 cavalry directly to the front of Yu Xin's camp. The arrows flew in unison, and the sound of killing was loud. Most of Yu Xin's soldiers woke up from their sleep and were shot to death before they could engage in the battle. In the panic, the rest of the soldiers fought with the Qing army before they even had time to put on their armor. Many iron-clad soldiers were shot to death by the Qing soldiers.
Seeing the soldiers galloping to the gallop, they heard the clanging of gold and iron in their ears, and their soldiers retreated steadily. Yu Xin stopped drinking back and forth, but he could no longer command effectively. newly captured. The Qing army was victorious at the beginning of the battle, and the troops camped outside the city.
Hearing that Yu Xin was defeated, Zheng Chenggong was shocked. According to the change of the situation, he redeployed the army, and took the Guanyin Mountain to Guanyinmen area as the assembly point to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qing army. He sent Yang Zutong from the left pioneer town to help Yao Guotai from the right town, Yang Zheng from the back force town, and Lan Yantun from the Qianchong town to mount the mountain to support the horns. Right Tiger Guard Chen Kui lined up to meet the enemy at the foot of the mountain; he himself supervised Right Tiger Guard Chen Peng and Youchongzhen Wanlu to respond at Guanyinmen; the latter Admiral Wan Li, Xuan Yi Zuozhen Wanyi and others blocked the road at the head of the bridge; the Right Admiral Ma Xin, Xuan Yi's back town Wu Hao, Zhengbing town Han Ying squatted by the waterway; Zuo Chong town Huang An was in charge of the navy to prevent the Qing army from attacking by water.
