In 1649, the fifth year of Longwu, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

On the official road leading to the Fuzhou in Ningde County, more than 40,000 Zhejiang soldiers marched quickly along the road.

The main force of the Ming army was walking on the official roads, and on the ridges of the roads on both sides, they were also marching infantry. The teams of people and horses were winding and twisting, like big pythons swimming forward.

In the middle of the army, under a large gold-edged king flag, Zhu Yihai was wearing a screech dragon robe, wearing a winged crown, and riding a horse slowly.

Zhao Ming was wearing silver armor, a big red cloak, carrying a mace, and following along with a miscellaneous horse. More than a hundred generals were following behind him, and his military power was very powerful.

Everyone rode on horseback and looked forward. The Ming cavalry scouts in the distance went out to explore the way for the army. There were countless infantry soldiers nearby, but instead of going straight, they were bent in marching. They saw a crowded helmet and densely packed soldiers wearing armor.

When marching in a straight line, it is easy to be divided and surrounded when attacked. When marching in Zhejiang, it usually advances in an "S" shape.

The advantage of this marching formation is that it can take into account both the beginning and the end to prevent being cut off by the enemy in half. When encountering an attack, the units can quickly connect to the front and tail to form a battle. In the shortest time, the largest number of troops can be gathered, and the deserters and soldiers can be prevented from falling behind.

Later generations of Taiping Army and the People's Liberation Army used this formation when marching.

The various units of the Ming army marched forward, and the team stretched for several miles, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

At this time, under the banner of Dazhe, Zhao Ming was riding on the mao horse and was introducing the front terrain to Zhu Yihai.

When Zhao Ming killed Zheng Zhibao in Fujing, he fled alone, and walked the road from Fujing to Zhejiang with his feet, so he was quite familiar with the terrain of Fujian.

"Your Highness, Lianjiang County is ahead! We choose this for our battlefield!" Zhao Ming picked up the mace and pointed to the front and said.

Zhu Yihai asked: "Why choose this place to fight in the field? How confident are you to be Bo'an!"

"Your Highness will know after seeing it!" Zhao Ming smiled and said, "I am at least 60% sure!"

As he said that, Zhao Ming saw a hill ahead and said, "Your Highness, please follow me!"

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he pulled out his horse's reins, left the marching force, accelerated, surpassed the infantry in front, and galloped towards the distant hills.

Fujian is mountainous and lacks arable land, and many hills have been developed. Many terraced fields have been reclaimed. The hills are not high. However, Zhao Ming and his party ran along the path for a long time before climbing to the top of the hill.

At this time, Zhao Ming and others stopped their horses and stood up. Zhu Yihai looked down at the bottom, as if he understood Zhao Ming's intention.

Zhao Ming tied the Zamao Ma. In front of the hill where they were, there was a slope that was several miles long. The slope was reclaimed into layers of terraced fields. Below the slope was the beach of Lianjiang. The Lianjiang water was like a belt, flowing windingly under the terraced fields.

Zhao Ming pointed to the terraced fields that were accumulated due to the rain and said to Zhu Yihai and others: "Your Highness, we are on the terraced fields. The Qing army crossed the Lianjiang River, gathered on the river beach, and then launched a back attack. The Qing cavalry could not exert their combat power, and they would be restricted by the terraced fields. If they rushed along the ridge of the field, the road was winding, and if they went down the field to charge, they would fall into mud. At this time, our army fired it with firearms and bombarded it with artillery, which would be able to withstand the Qing army's attack!"

Zhao Ming chose Lianjiang as a field place to fight with the Qing army, mainly because he took a fancy to the terrain near Lianjiang, and might help the Ming army to fight a Sanhe victory.

Zhu Yihai looked at the layers of terraces under his feet and couldn't help but nodded: "Boan chose this place, perhaps it is more suitable for the decisive battle than the city!"

Zhao Ming then continued: "As long as we block Duoduo's frontal attack in Lianjiang, the Qing army could not capture it for a long time and when the army was tired, we would send a powerful army to encircle the Qing army's retreat from the sea and cut off the enemy's food route, and we would definitely defeat the Qing army!"

After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Zhu Yihai and the generals of the Ming army all raised their spirits, who had no confidence at all.

"Your Highness! Governor! Beacon!" On the hill, Ding Weiyue suddenly pointed to the other side of Lianjiang and shouted loudly.

Zhao Ming and others hurriedly looked up and saw thick smoke rising from the west bank of Lianjiang River, and smoke pillars rose to the sky, passing them to Fuzhou one by one.

This must be the Qing army on the other side. After discovering the Ming army, Fenghuo warned Duoduo.

"Send the order to stop the army and set up defense immediately!" Zhao Ming's expression stern and immediately shouted.

The sound of trumpets sounded, and the Ming soldiers marching on the road seemed to be encouraged. They all raised their speed and seized the hills on the west bank of Lianshui according to their respective duties, and then quickly built fortifications to prepare for the Qing army to attack.

At this time, everyone watched the beacon fire spread to Fuzhou. They knew that soon after, Duoduo would definitely lead his troops to come, and his expression became solemn.

Zhu Yihai controlled the somewhat restless war horse, pulled the reins of the horse, turned around, glanced at the generals, and said in a solemn voice: "You guys, this battle will be won!"

Many generals looked solemn, clasped their fists and responded in a deep voice, "I will win!"

~~~~~~~

Fuzhou, Duoduo's temporary headquarters.

At this time, outside the city of Fuzhou, military tents spread, and more than 100,000 Qing troops gathered here, and countless Qing soldiers appeared.

In the Duoduo Palace, Han Dai was reporting to Duoduo that the Qing army's attack on Anping City was captured.

"Where are you burning Anping City?" Duoduo frowned slightly, his tone a little unhappy.

The Qing army had many regulations on robbery. The seizure of the income, the flag soldiers, and the Qing court, must be distributed according to a certain proportion.

However, after every robbery, the Qing soldiers naturally would not be so honest. The owners of each banner would also keep some of them privately and would not hand them over to the Qing court.

Han Dai hurriedly explained: "Prince, the rebels in the city resist stubbornly, and the warriors will inevitably fail during the battle!"

Duoduo knew that it must be Han Dai and others, so he killed and burned the city in order to cover up the amount of property he robbed.

This made Duoduo a little dissatisfied, but he did everything, and according to the convention, Han Dai wanted to prepare a copy for him, so he didn't want to continue pursuing it.

The Eight Banners soldiers were rarely happy. As the commander, Duoduo naturally had to cherish his soldiers.

However, despite this, Duoduo was still a little angry. Han Dai and others robbed him, but they also killed many of Zheng Zhilong's family members. Even his wife was insulted and committed suicide, which was a bit too much.

Duoduo said calmly: "How is the seizure?"

Han Dai said excitedly: "Prince, you have seized a huge 10,000 yuan, and the silver alone is 20 million taels and the food is 300,000 stones. The Zheng family in Fujian is really rich enough to rival a country!"

Duoduo raised his eyebrows, and his anger from the murder of the Zheng family disappeared in an instant. He said in surprise: "It's so huge!"

After saying that, Duoduo immediately ordered: "Send someone to guard closely, and then send heavy troops to Beijing!"

With so many seized, not only did the Qing Dynasty finances be greatly improved, but the Eight Banners who participated in the war also received extremely generous rewards.

Just as Duoduo was overjoyed, a general hurried in, "Master!"

When Duoduo saw him panic, he said dissatisfied: "What's the matter panic?"

"Report to Master, Zhao Manzi led tens of thousands of troops to leave Ningde and kill to Lianjiang!" The general said in a hurry.

Duoduo raised his eyebrows, looked surprised, and then he became furious, "What a good Zhao Zamao, I really don't know how to die!"
