When the soldiers of Taiping Camp executed prisoners, the results of the Battle of Chongming were quickly counted.

At this time, Li Zhongming and Ruan Mei led a team of soldiers and came out of the city with grain bags.

Ruan Mei said a pity: "General, half of the food was burned, and only five thousand stones were stolen."

Li Zhongming said: "Ala found 30,000 taels of Tibetan silver, jewellery and antiques from the Eight Banners soldiers, the county treasury, and Liang Huafeng's mansion."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, and won the battle and captured the city. The money was indeed fast enough. Thirty thousand taels and three boxes of jewelry and antiques were enough for a battalion of soldiers to pay a year.

The more the Ming Dynasty fought, the poorer the poorer the Qing army fought, and the stronger the Qing army fought, which has a lot to do with this.

Compared to money and grain, Zhao Ming was also concerned about other things, so he asked: "How about the equipment being seized?"

Now many soldiers in Taiping Camp have spears and put on a bamboo hat and went to the battlefield. Their equipment is so poor that they can't even compare to the strong landlord armed forces.

Ruan Mei said: "The soldiers are still counting, and many of the weapons have been stolen by the rebels! These people have no rules and cannot fight. They shouldn't bring them here!"

Ruan Mei pointed to the rebels who were picking up the bodies of the Qing army in the distance and picking up weapons, a little angry.

Chongming was basically defeated by Taiping Camp. The rebels rushed to the ashore after seeing the city breaking down. If the soldiers of Taiping Camp had not entered the city first, the treasury might have been occupied by the rebels.

Zhao Ming looked at the rebels who were walking through the corpses in Manye, and waved his hand with a smile, "Forget it, let them go. I took out the Qing army's corpses today, and I dared to fight with the Qing soldiers the next day. Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Ruan Mei followed Zhao Ming's gaze and looked at her shoulders, and suddenly screamed, "Damn it, I was hit by a bird gun!"

A lead bullet teared Ruan Mei's cotton armor on her shoulder. Ruan Mei didn't notice it. Zhao Ming reminded him that he felt a huge pain and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Zhao Ming hurriedly ordered: "Please come here."

This time on the expedition, Zhao Ming also brought Li Langzhong and Li Zhizhi out and asked them to help treat the wounded.

Soon, Doctor Li came over with the medicine box, tore open Ruan Mei's armor, and helped Ruan Mei get the bullet and bandage it.

Soon, the results of the Chongming Battle were counted. In this battle, 2,100 enemies were killed, including 2,000 Green Camp soldiers, 100 Mongolian Zhengbai Banners, 100 pairs of iron armor, 400 sets of cotton armor, more than 1,600 battle jackets, 100 scimitars, 400 Miao knives, 1,66 spears, 60 horse spears, 300 bows and arrows, 2,000 arrows, 15 bird guns, 120 horses, and various equipment such as gunpowder, short axes, shields, etc.

In this battle, Zhao Ming made a lot of achievements, directly making up for the embarrassing situation of insufficient military equipment in Taiping Camp.

However, the Ming army soldiers were also very injured, with 301 soldiers killed, almost all of them were injured, and the Japanese warriors were also hacked to death by Mongolian cavalry.

Zhao Ming asked the soldiers to clean up the bodies, cremated them uniformly on the beach, and then took some ashes, and asked the soldiers to hold them in cloth, tied them to their waists and brought them back. As for the bodies of the Qing soldiers, they were stripped naked and threw them into the water to feed the fish.

Chongming Island is the entrance to the Yangtze River, and military farming can be carried out on the sandbank. Zhao Ming is preparing to control this place, so the Qing army's corpses were cleaned to avoid epidemics.

The battle of Chongming boosted the morale of the rebels who followed him, and the confidence of the army increased. He no longer worried that the Qing army would be unable to defeat. After rebels who had been long, he hoped to attack a few more cities.

Of course, I dare not touch the city, but I can fight a small county town.

In view of the lack of rules of the rebel army, Zhao Ming summoned many rebel leaders on the Zhenyuan Circle to discuss matters and make three rules to make them obey orders, not to rob supplies, not to kill and rob the people at will, destroying the reputation of the rebel army. As for the seized spoils, they will be distributed uniformly after the war.

This battle made Zhao Ming's prestige even higher. The rebels all obeyed Zhao Ming and repeatedly said that they were willing to obey orders, but Zhao Ming followed his horse's leadership.

At this moment, Zhao Ming did not hesitate, and left behind the pirate Gu Sanmazi to guard Chongming Island, so he led a large army, gongs and drums, and his troops were sent to Nanjing.

After winning the first battle, the army was full of morale. Zhao Ming left more than 600 people to guard the island, led 5,000 people to advance along the river, and reached the mouth of the Wusong River, and attacked the Qing army's water camp, seized more than 20 ships, burned the water camp, and continued to advance westward.

The fleet was walking in a vast way on the river. At night, the boat was lit with torches. The lights were brightly lit on the river, and the people on both sides of the strait watched. For a time, the Jiangnan region was shaking, and many gentry secretly sent food to reward the army and were willing to act as internal supporters.

I was afraid of comparison in everything. The gentry in Jiangnan enjoyed many preferential treatments in the Ming Dynasty, but was still dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty. Only when the Qing Dynasty came did I turn my back and miss the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of policy, the Qing court won over officials and gentry in Liaodong and northern regions, and used the stolen land to give some benefit to some of the people who surrendered in the north. They canceled the three salaries and allocated the land of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state to win people's hearts, but they suppressed the gentry in Jiangnan, which damaged the interests of the gentry in Southeast. Therefore, after the shaving order, Jiangnan's counterattack was so fierce.

In order to cross the Qiantang River, Duoduo mobilized many ships to enter Zhejiang, making the already weak Qing navy even weaker.

Zhao Ming led the fleet into the Yangtze River. Along the way, gentry informed him. The navy swept across the Qing army's water camps and forts along the Yangtze River.

The army attacked the ferry when it saw it, and burned it when it was shot. If it couldn't be shot, it bombarded with giant cannons. The tall body of the Zhenyuan and the roaring cannons on the side made the Qing army feel the power of the strong ships and sharp cannons in advance.

Along the way, the army was clamoring, as if afraid that the Qing army would not know that the army entered the river. Zhao Ming's bluffing made the Qing army along the coast dare not fight easily.

After the Qing army captured the city of Jiangyin, because the Qing army massacred the city, there were no people in the city, leaving only one Qing army garrison.

At this time, the Qing army garrisons along the Yangtze River, all cities received news that Zhao Ming had entered the Yangtze River. However, the Qing army did not take the initiative to attack, but guarded the city one after another.

Zhao Ming's army was on the river, and the Qing army had no choice but to do anything to him on the shore. Moreover, Zhao Ming captured Chongming one day, which showed that the Ming army had good combat effectiveness. The Qing army in each prefecture had the responsibility to guard the city and thought about defending its own defense zone. As long as the Ming army did not attack it, everything would be fine. Taking the initiative to wipe out Zhao Ming was at great risk and profits, and the Qing army could not go into the water, so it was not very motivated.

At this time, the Qing soldiers climbed up the city wall in panic at the top of Jiangyin City. They saw ships covering the river and couldn't help but take a breath. The soldiers of the Green Camp exclaimed that it was Zhao Tiezan who was coming!

Zhao Ming had long since released news that if a large army is coming to the city, those who dare to fight with weapons will be killed without mercy.

The Qing army combined the general and the magistrate, but could not defend it at all. Resistance was death. The Qing Dynasty wanted to kill people again after abandoning the city and fleeing the Qing Dynasty. So they simply raised a white flag and surrendered and ordered people to open the city gate.

The fleet docked north of Jiangyin City. The soldiers of Taiping Camp looked up at Jiangyin City. Looking at the city tower with the word "Jiangyin" engraved, the triangular yellow dragon flag was thrown down, and a bright flag was raised, and tears were flowing down.

More than 100 Qing troops guarding the city, surrendered without fighting. Zhao Ming and his soldiers re-entered Jiangyin City. There were still bones that had not been cleaned up in the corner of the street, which reminded everyone of the days of defending Jiangyin.

Taiping Camp opened into the city, and the soldiers looked at the place where they had fought, and felt mixed feelings: "It's almost half a year, and I've finally come back."

At that moment, Zhao Ming led people to worship, and the souls who died in Jiangyin were killed in battle, and the soldiers of Taiping Camp were crying. At this moment, Wang Deshun suddenly came to report, "General, a large number of people came to the south, it seems to be Taihu rebels."
