Zhao Ming had to admit that Zhu Yihai's choice was actually very correct.

When Zhao Ming occupied Zhejiang and was named Queen of Wu Yue, Zhu Yihai realized that Zhao Ming was no longer his subordinate and ally, but became his threat and potential opponent.

If Zhu Yihai raised an army to seize the throne when Zhao Ming was looking forward to it, he would be sure that Zhao Ming would not be able to watch him seize the throne and would inevitably interfere.

For the king of a different surname, Zhao Ming absolutely did not want to see a unified and powerful central court appear.

Therefore, when Zhu Yihai chose Ajige to go north, Zhao Ming launched an army to calm the crisis when he sent troops in Hebei, it can be said that he was carefully considered.

At this time, the only one who sent troops was to confront the Longwu court. The Qing Dynasty was divided and there was no time to take into account the internal struggles of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Mingren was in Hebei and it was difficult for him to influence the disputes.

At this time, Zhu Yihai only needed to defeat Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Yihai believed that with the combat power of the Jiangbei Army, he would definitely be able to defeat Zhu Youjian's army and regain what belonged to him.

By then, as long as you quickly seize Nanjing and let Zhu Youjian die in a bad life, Zhu Yihai will ascend the throne and take over the Nanjing court.

At this time, Zhu Yihai had already started a war with Zhu Youjian, but Zhao Ming was dragged in Hebei as Zhu Yihai expected and could not return to Jiangdong for a short time.

At Dagukou, the Wuyue Army's ships had limited transportation capacity and could only transport so many people at a time. It took more than ten days to travel between the Bohai Sea, so the retreat speed was extremely slow.

This made Zhao Ming sigh. It seemed that he would still have to take down Shanhaiguan. If he had left the land, he would have been withdrawn by now.

Since you don't leave for a while, you have to withstand Ajige's attack.

Ajige was extremely angry at Zhao Ming's destruction of the flag farm, releases the flag slaves, and emptying Tongzhou.

At this time, the statistics of the Qing officials had already come out. Ajige suffered a huge loss this time. Tongzhou lost 200,000 stones of food, 50,000 cotton coats, 8,000 pairs of military boots, 300,000 taels of silver, and countless swords and weapons.

In addition, there were more than 600 destroyed flag villages along the eastern coast of Zhili, more than 1,000 bannermen were killed, countless casualties were injured in coats, 150,000 stones of food, 400,000 taels of silver and more than 70,000 livestock, and more than 400,000 flag slaves escaped.

Such huge losses not only made Ajige look disgraceful, but also made the Eight Banners of Manchu and Han extremely dissatisfied with Ajige.

Although Fulin did not win any battles when he was in Beijing, Zhao Zamao at least did not enter Hebei.

Now that Zhao Zamao has entered the capital, he has not only arrived in Beijing, but also destroyed their manor. Naturally, everyone will feel that Ajige is not as good as Fulin.

This made Ajige both ashamed and angry, leading an army of 100,000 to launch a fierce attack on the Wu and Yue army.

The Qing army bombarded heavily by bombardment, and the infantry rushed fiercely. The battle was very fierce. However, the Wu Yue army held sharp weapons in their hands, leaned against the sea, and had naval gun support. The firepower was too strong. The Qing army rushed several times, but the bodies left behind were all over the ground, and they were repelled by naval guns.

The Qing army attacked dozens of times, but all ended in failure. Ajige, who was known for his bad temper, was also cured and could only watch the Wu Yue army evacuate the people.

This was undoubtedly a torture for Ajige. He even hoped that he would come to a little more boat and quickly transport the beast Zhao Zamao away.

On the night of March 10, nearly a hundred warships approached Dagukou under the cover of night.

Behind the defense line, there was a real person holding a musket and a vigilant on the front line. On the dock, the brigade was dressed neatly, carrying a square quilt, with a kettle and a grenade hanging around his waist, and holding a musket in his hand, lined up in a long line and boarded the warship.

"Your Highness, it's time to leave!" Xie Qian said to Zhao Ming, who was standing on the fort.

Zhao Ming tightened his cloak and ordered: "Transfer all the heavy artillery from Dagu Fortress, and then blow up the turret with gunpowder so that he can go straight to Dagukou next time."

Xie Qian immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will accept the order!"

After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he swung his cloak, stepped down from the fort, and headed towards the dock.

At the fourth update, all the Wu Yue troops who were staying at Dagukou boarded the warships. At this moment, the Dagu Fort suddenly burst out with a loud "boom".

In the Qing army's tent, Ajige, who was wearing only one underwear, hurriedly picked out the tent and looked at the direction of Dagukou, and his face twitched.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zamao exploded the fort!" A Qing general reported urgently.

Azig looked gloomy, so he immediately let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Let Doni recover Dagukou!"

~~~~~~~

March 11, Nanjing.

Just as Zhao Ming was taking a warship and evacuating Dagukou, the Jiangbei army crossed the Yangtze River and rushed towards Nanjing.

The Longwu Dynasty was actually uneasy about Zhu Yihai. Zhu Youjian sent a large number of Jinyiwei to monitor the Jiangbei Army's every move.

When Zhu Yihai raised his troops in Yangzhou, Zhu Youjian immediately learned the news and ordered the army to closely guard the south bank and block the Jiangbei army from crossing the river.

The Jiangbei army was blocked by the imperial guards in Jiangbei for several days. Just when the imperial guards on the south bank were slacking off, Li Chengdong ordered his subordinates to prepare a large number of rafts and small boats, plant torches on them, and use the river wind to put the rafts and small boats down from the old river mouth.

The rafts and boats with torches were blown by the wind and went downstream, and the flames reflected the red river.

The South Bank Imperial Army misjudged that the Jiangbei Army crossed the river from the mouth of the old river, and the south bank artillery bombarded the South Bank, and the army followed the fireboat downstream to block the Jiangbei Army from landing.

Li Chengdong then led elite troops to cross the river by boat. When the imperial guards discovered, the fleet had arrived at Longtan Town on the south bank. The soldiers in Jiangbei took the opportunity to land, and the imperial guards in Jiang were killed and dispersed.

When the imperial guards on the south bank learned that the Jiangbei army crossed the river, they immediately dispersed.

Less than three years ago, the Ming Dynasty had internal strife. Ajige took the opportunity to go south and defeated more than 100,000 troops of the Longwu Dynasty. Zhao Ming also surrounded and annihilated a large number of imperial guards in Zhenjiang and other places, and incorporated tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty defeated troops.

This caused the Ming Dynasty to lose more than 100,000 elite troops. Now, after the newly recruited imperial guards, although they have been trained for several years, they have never participated in the war. They are not the opponent of Jiangbei tigers and wolves. As soon as the Jiangbei army crossed the river, the defense line on the south bank suddenly collapsed.

After Li Chengdong successfully landed, Zhu Yihai immediately led the main force across the Yangtze River, and more than 100,000 northern Jiangbei troops arrived in the outer city of Nanjing.

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to stand in Nanjing and wait for Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan to lead his troops to help, but Zhu Yihai obtained a lot of flowering bullets from Wuyue Kingdom. He broke through the outer capital in one day, and the forward approached the inner capital Shence's gate.

At this time, the sound of cannons rumbled in the east of Nanjing.

Zhu Youjian, wearing a yellow robe, quickly headed west with the support of the eunuchs. Countless eunuchs, ministers, concubines, and guards behind him were surrounded by them, and hurriedly walked between the red palace walls.

Since restoring Nanjing, Zhu Youjian has always regarded himself as the Emperor of Zhongxing and compared himself to Emperor Gaozong of Song. He did not expect that he would flee Beijing in a panic now.

Zhu Youjian was held and walked forward quickly, his expression was quiet, and he felt like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang who was fleeing in panic, almost shed tears.

He Tengjiao followed Zhu Youjian and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. When you retreat to Huguang and reorganize your forces, the army will definitely recover Nanjing and eliminate the rebels!"
