The supplies in Huai'an City and the canals were swept away by the Ming army, and the people inside and outside the city also took their families and took their boats.

If the boat couldn't hold it, it would hike to Haizhou.

People generally do not want to leave their hometowns, but Zhao Ming forced them, and the other is worried that the Qing army would come back and massacre. In such a large Huai'an, almost nine out of ten families were empty.

Zhao Ming left Li Huazhong and others behind, continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Lianghuai, and appointed Xu Jue as a magistrate. He wrote a blank check on behalf of the court, planted nails in Lianghuai, and often harassed the Qing army, making peace in the Huaii, and undermined the strategy of the Qing Dynasty's stability in the rear.

The Ming army swept across the Huai River and seized a large number of supplies and ships. The fleet expanded to more than 1,200 ships, and the number of personnel increased by tens of thousands. They retreated from the Huai River in a mighty manner.

Most of the captured canal ships were inland river ships and could not leave the coast. Zhao Ming then ordered Xu Fuyuan to lead a part of the canal ships to sail along the coast and transport the people they were carrying to Chongming. Some of the remaining ships transported the materials to Kaishan Island, and some of them went north along the coast and arrived in Haizhou.

Haizhou, which is Lianyungang area, was the Lianyungang area. When Zhao Ming and others sailed all the way, more than 200,000 people had gathered on Yuzhou Mountain Island.

Yuzhou Mountain Island was called Yuzhou in ancient times. At this time, there was not a large amount of mud and sand, and Yuzhou Mountain was not yet connected to the mainland. It is a considerable island.

When everyone met with Haizhou, their confidence increased and they found their own advantages.

When they went deep into the land, the Ming army in the East China Sea could not defeat the Qing army, but the coastal maneuvered, but the Qing army had no choice but to deal with the Ming army in the East China Sea.

For a moment, everyone was quite excited and got together to talk.

At this time, in the temporary hall, everyone's faces were full of excitement. Zhao Ming sat upright in the middle hall and said proudly: "The Qing army deployed defenses to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I will attack Lianghuai. I will attack Shandong. We will drive directly to Hebei. When the Qing army returns to the capital, I will attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang again! See what Dorgon can do to me!"

Wang Chaoxian and the general agreed, "The general is right. It is impossible for Qinggou to defend us if he wants to defend us!"

The autumn harvest of Lianghuai was just over 2019, and the food was piled up on Yuzhou Mountain Island, and everyone tasted the sweetness.

What is opposite is that the two Huai Rivers are in ruins and displaced people are everywhere.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhao Ming actually had some hidden worries. Although the harassment could restrain the Qing army, it could not gain a foothold in the mainland and would also ruin his reputation.

Zheng Chenggong occupied Xiamen but failed to recover the coastal areas and established a solid stronghold on the land. One reason was that he could not stand firm and could not defeat the Qing army. The other reason was that in order to raise troops and obtain food, Zheng Chenggong collected heavy taxes on the occupied land, which made the Fujian people who originally supported him gradually lost their will and slowly changed their attitude.

Zhao Ming needs to be vigilant about this, and the method he took was to offend a group of people and win over a group of people.

The two Huaihe Rivers were quite rich for Shandong, and they were the food and salt production area of ​​the Qing court. Zhao Ming had to destroy it and would not have any concerns. Shandong was quite barren, and the Qing army could not collect money and grain, and the local people hated the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Ming was thankless when he plundered, so there was no need to offend the Shandong people.

In Shandong, Zhao Ming was not prepared to adopt the strategy of the two Huaihe Rivers, but was preparing to break the city, so he climbed up and called for money, grain, and weapons to support Shandong's anti-Qing forces.

At this time, everyone was quite excited in the hall, but a general hurried in and reported: "The Grand Marshal, Mandahai is coming to Haizhou to cross the Huai River. Xuzhou and Guide Qing troops have also turned to the east, leaving only fifty miles away from Haizhou."

Before he finished speaking, another scout entered the hall, rushed in, and knelt on one knee and said, "Report! Report to the Qing army in Yanzhou, Shandong, Yizhou and other places in Shandong, and rushed straight to Haizhou."

Zhao Ming and the generals heard the words, but they were very calm. The army was stationed on Yuzhou Mountain Island. Even if the Qing army came, everyone was not worried.

At this time, Xia Wanchun bowed and said, "Master, it seems that our purpose of mobilizing the Qing army has been achieved!"

Zhao Ming nodded slightly: "Xiaoyin, you are the supervisor of the imperial court, so you can go to Caozhou and contact the Yuyuan Army."

Xia Wanchun bowed and said, "A few months ago, Liu Zeqing sent someone south to express his intentions. His general Li Huajing was already in the Yuyuan army. I will convince the Yuyuan army to cooperate with the commander and disrupt Shandong."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, and then said to his clerk Wang Jiaqin: "Diyi, you can go to Gaoyuan County and contact Xie Qian, the leader of Gaoyuan Army, and I will invite him to Qingzhou to meet him."

Wang Jiaqin clasped his fists and said, "Students receive the order!"

Zhao Ming then glanced at everyone, "The rest of them followed the commander along the coast, first went to Rizhao, then attacked Jiao County, attacked Dengzhou, Laizhou, and finally entered the Bohai Sea!"

When the generals heard the words, they immediately clasped their fists together, "The last general will take the order."

Guo Zhong bowed and said, "I will go and prepare the fleet!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand and smiled and said, "No, don't be busy, it's not too late to leave when Mandahai arrives."

Everyone realized that the army was stationed on the island, and even if the Qing army chased after them, they could not do anything to them.

One day later, the Qing army in Xuzhou first arrived in Haizhou, and then the Qing army in Yizhou and Yanzhou also advanced to the northern suburbs of Haizhou.

After learning that Zhao Ming had entered the Huai River, Mandahai discussed with Hong Chengchou and immediately went to Yangzhou and mobilized 30,000 Qing troops to head north.

After his army arrived in Gaoyou, he met Kong Xigui who fled from Huai'an, and was immediately shocked and angry.

The Huai River is very close to the Yangtze River. Even if Zhao Ming attacked the Huai generals, the Qing army in Jiangbei could easily reinforce quickly and could rush to control the city in a few days. But who would have thought that Huai'an City would be captured by Zhao Ming without defending for a day.

This made Mandahai furious and wanted to kill Kong Xigui. Kong Xigui hurriedly explained and slandered that someone in the city opened the city and surrendered, so he abandoned the city in a hurry.

Mandahai pursued Huai'an in anger, and Zhao Ming had already withdrawn. He heard that a Ming army was in Haizhou, so the army headed north and rushed to Haizhou County.

Along the way, Mandahai rode his horse and galloped. Along the way, there were dilapidated villages, burned houses, and refugees fleeing everywhere.

This made Mandahai's muscles tug. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming was so cruel that he could also attack the Han people.

On October 16, the Qing army in Jiangnan led by Mandahai arrived in Haizhou, and the Qing troops drawn from all over the country arrived one after another. Five or sixty thousand Qing troops had gathered near Haizhou.

At this time, the Qing army had just set up camp, and Mandahai beat drums and gathered generals to discuss how to capture Yuzhou Mountain Island. A scout came in and reported urgently: "Report to Master Beile, Shandong Yizhou Prefecture urgently, the pirates attacked Rizhao, opened warehouses and released grain, and gathered tens of thousands of local thieves."

Mandahai, who was sitting upright in the middle of the tent, heard the muscles on his face twitching unconsciously. He covered his face with both hands, lowered his head in dejectedly, and was silent for a while. Then he kicked the desk in front of him over and roared wildly, "Zhao Zamao, you are straight!"
