Chapter 720

At Dagukou, the Wu and Yue army set up a large camp here.

After Fan Wencheng chased Tongzhou, he saw Zhao Ming's intimidation, and the 10,000 troops stopped in Tongzhou and did not dare to march forward.

Without the interference of the Qing army, Zhao Ming built a solid camp in Dagu, while sending Li Yuanyin and others to attack everywhere, sweep away nearby prefectures and counties, break through flag villages, kill flagmen and coat soldiers, rescue a large number of flag slaves, and come to Dagukou.

At this time, more than 100,000 people, tens of thousands of livestock, as well as a large amount of food and military funds, but every day, the Wu Yue army still led a large number of flag slaves into the camp.

Nearby: Some flag slaves who could not stand oppression also killed the leader of the flag village and took the initiative to come and lean on their heads.

Seeing Zhao Ming messing around with Hebei, a large number of flag farms and flag fields were destroyed, both Ajige from Beijing and Fan Wencheng from Tongzhou were anxious.

What Zhao Ming did seriously damaged the interests of the bannermen. As the emperor of the Chongwu Dynasty, Ajige was unable to protect the interests of the bannermen, which inevitably made the bannermen dissatisfied with him and affected the stability of his throne.

When Ajige and Fan Wencheng were anxious, nearly a hundred large ships at Dagukou Wharf were rushing and sucking soldiers and carrying supplies and the people.

Reinforcements from outside the pass came down from the ship, more than 100,000 people, more than 200,000 stones of grain, countless silver and military funds, were waiting to be shipped onto the ship and then transported outside the pass.

Zhao Ming was in Dagukou, and was busy transporting the people and food away, but Fan Wencheng was so anxious that he couldn't even pull out his shit.

On February 10, he received the imperial edict to seek peace from the king. He first led 7,000 cavalry back to Beijing from Jingxing, and then transferred to Tongzhou to meet with Fan Wencheng.

Only then did Fan Wencheng pluck up his courage to march eastward and march to Tianjin, but because his troops were not superior, he dared not leave.

On the 11th, Duoni, who was against Jiang Xiang, also led 7,000 cavalry to arrive. The Qing army's troops reached 24,000. Fan Wencheng once again set out to advance eastward.

This time, the Qing army advanced to Dagukou and set off a camp five miles away from the Wuyue army.

However, the Qing army still did not dare to attack, but just climbed their eyes and watched the fleet transport the people and food away.

The Dagu Fort was originally built by the Qing army to defend against the Wu and Yue army, but now it has become a stronghold of the Wu and Yue army.

At this time, Zhao Ming boarded the fort and reached out to take the Thousand Mile Mile Mile from the guards to watch. Xie Qian next to him said, "Your Highness, there are currently more than 20,000 Tartars, half of which are cavalry!"

Zhao Ming observed the Qing army camp for a while, and saw the cavalry running, he immediately ordered: "Tell Li Yuanyin not to go out of the camp soon. All the troops released will be taken back!"

Xie Qian nodded and then said, "Your Highness, the reinforcements mobilized by Ajige should arrive one after another in the near future. What is your plan? Will the army evacuate after the people and materials have been transported?"

Zhao Ming took the thousand-mile mirror and looked back at the people gathered on the beach, as well as the mountain of supplies, and smiled and said, "First transport the population and supplies, then continue to stick to this place, fight and send warships to break the attack from it, and restrain the Tartars! I am alone, and Ajige's elite can only stay in Hebei to deal with the orphans. In this way, the opportunity to the south will come!"

Earlier, Zhao Ming had sent people to Jiangbei to contact Zhu Yihai, invited Jiangbei soldiers to attack Xuzhou, and asked the Wu Yue army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to attack Shandong through Jiangbei.

Zhao Ming's intention was to disrupt Hebei, restrain Ajige's elite troops, and create opportunities for the southern line.

This time, even if Zhao Ming cannot destroy Ajige, he will still severely damage him, avenge Jiangbei and avenge his previous shame.

"I understand!" Xie Qian immediately bowed his fists.

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he picked up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and found another army coming from behind the Qing army camp. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

"The Qing soldiers are coming again!" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice, and then ordered: "The people and materials must be evacuated at a faster pace!"

Gu Yanwu behind him said: "Your Highness, it takes time for the fleet to travel outside the pass and Dagukou, and more than 100,000 people, as well as a large amount of livestock and supplies. It cannot be transported in a short time. It will take at least one month for me!"

Zhao Ming put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, turned around and looked at Gu Yanwu and said, "Transport people first, then transport supplies and livestock."

Then he looked at Xie Qian and said, "I ordered the soldiers to strengthen the defense line, and the number of Qing soldiers gathered more and more. It won't take long to attack."

"Yes! I will obey the order!" Everyone took the order together.

On February 16, two Qing army infantry attacked Shanxi rushed to Dagukou one after another.

At this time, the Qing army gathered in Dagukou had as many as 80,000.

On the 27th, with the Wu Yue army surrounded by Dagukou, Ajige, who had been unable to hold back, led an army of 10,000 with a roar, and joined Fan Wencheng. The Qing army's strength reached 90,000.

If some coatings were added, there would have been more than 100,000 people.

When Ajige arrived at the Qing army camp, he first scolded Fan Wencheng for being unfavorable in the battle. However, Ajige was not as slanderous as Dorgon. He was quite kind, and he just scolded him a few words and did not take Fan Wencheng for his crime.

Hebei was so harmful to Zhao Ming. Almost all the banners and villages in six or seven counties east of Beijing were destroyed, with many casualties and injuries to the bannermen, and all the food and military funds in Tongzhou were transported.

The emperor generally cannot bear such responsibility. If he bears it, it will seem incompetent and will be hated. If Dorgon had found a scapegoat, he would definitely find a scapegoat to kill it to relieve the loss of the Eight Banner nobles.

Although Ajige was irritable and irritable and liked to kill, he was relatively thin and knew that Fan Wencheng was responsible for him, so he just scolded him a few words and felt embarrassed to take action.

After the reprimand, Ajige then personally mobilized his troops and began to launch an attack on Dagukou. However, the Wu and Yue army built perfect fortifications, and the heavy artillery support from the Dagu Fort, the Qing army's attack was soon defeated.

Azig was furious when he saw this, but he was a general who was the one who killed the field. After knowing that using brute force was useless, he stopped attacking, stared at the blood-filled eyes, and looked at the big ships, picking the people away.

By the end of February, most of the people and supplies in Dagukou had been transported away, and at this time, the heavy artillery that Ajige was waiting for finally arrived.

On the 27th, the Qing army's hundreds of heavy artillery were lined up and began to bombard Dagukou and destroy the fortifications of the Wuyue Army. The casualties of the Wuyue Army suddenly became heavy.

At this time, Zhao Ming stood in front of the sand table in the Dagukou Fort.

"Your Highness, after Ajige's shelling, he will inevitably start a fierce attack!" Xie Qian said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ming frowned and asked, "Nearly one month has passed, is there no news in the south?"
