It was not until the end of the leap month of June that the general matter was initially resolved. Except for Chaozhou Prefecture, other prefectures and counties in Guangdong have already been dominated by Zhu Hongsan. As for Chaozhou Prefecture, it is not the time to turn against Zheng Zhilong. He will be captured in Beijing in August next year, and then it will be a good opportunity to annex Zheng Zhilong.

Zhu Hongsan finally made a move to prepare for the northward journey. Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong took out their best teams and formed an expeditionary army of 7,000 people. They said they were disdainful of the Qing army, but after all, the Eight Banners of Manchus were blowing trumpets outside the window - famous, so they were also well prepared. Basically, the ones who were brought to the front line were non-commissioned students, and there were no new recruits who had joined the army for half a year in these 7,000 people.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the team they selected, and it was painful. Most of these were company-level officers. If the casualties on the front line were too large, it would be a damaging force. So Zhu Hongsan warned them to reduce casualties.

The two knew what was going on and promised to bring the army back intact. After expressing their determination, they led the team on board. Zhu Hongsan spent a lot of money this time. There was a total of five newly built 800-ton sea ships in the shipyard, all of which were brought with them. There was another one here just launched and had not yet been conducted in the sea trial, and Zhu Hongsan sent them out.

Zhu Hongsan held Yan Qingshan's hand and said, "My father-in-law, this is all about the son-in-law. Don't lose all of it. Do you want your grandson and Wan'er to live in Nanyang?"

Yan Qingshan patted Zhu Hongsan with his bear paw-like hand and said, "Son-in-law of the country, don't worry, if you have such a big ship, I can't beat you, and I will be your last name." After that, Yan Qingshan boarded the ship and led the team to set off.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the five large ships and ten 400-ton merchant ships filled with soldiers, and silently said in his heart: Never encounter a typhoon, this is all my capital.

Yan Qingshan and his party went smoothly. When they passed by Fujian, Yan Qingshan fired several shells like a demonstration outside the Kinmen Sea. Zheng Zhilong was so scared that he quickly ruled the martial law and sent more than a dozen warships to follow him for a long time.

The officers and soldiers under his command asked Yan Qingshan whether to sink these small boats? Yan Qingshan thought that this time he came out to help his son-in-law go north to fight, and it was really hard to explain when he was working with Zheng Zhilong. So he ordered Quanfan to leave quickly.

All the ships Yan Qingshan brought out this time have been transformed into sails, combining the advantages of Western soft sails and Chinese hard sails, so the speed is far above those wide ships, and they will be lost after an hour.

With Yan Qingshan rushing all the way, the fleet finally arrived at the Yangtze River Estuary on the tenth of July. The Yangtze River Estuary in the Ming Dynasty was much wider than that in later generations. It was fifty miles wide in Haimen County to the north to Baoshan District to the south.

Yan Qingshan stayed in Baoshan for a day and went ashore to find several fishermen as guides. The water conditions of the Yangtze River are complicated and there are many sandbanks. It is easy to get stranded without looking for a guide.

After inquiring from the guide, Jiading County was now a ghost, and the Qing Dynasty had slaughtered the city twice. After receiving the news, Yan Qingshan advised Zhao Guodong not to go. After all, Jiading County is still a distance away from the riverside, and the naval artillery is not that far away.

However, Zhao Guodong could listen to Yan Qingshan's advice and insisted on going to Jiading. Yan Qingshan could not put down Zhao Guodong's 3,500 men at the mouth of the Liuhe River on July 15, and left him five troop transport ships. The other ships headed north to Jiangyin.

The Qing Dynasty gunners had seen such sharp murderous weapons. In their eyes, they just had to shoot out solid shells, and other sky was destined. So after hearing the loud noise of the five large ships on the opposite side, the Qing Dynasty gunners were still looking at the sky stupidly, hoping to see the trajectory of the shells so as to avoid solid shells.

But what greeted them was more than a thousand sub-ammunitions dropped from the sky. After the gunpowder was fully accelerated, each sub-ammunition as big as an egg could easily tear the bodies of these fools. For a moment, the Qing army's artillery positions were wailing everywhere.

Unexpectedly, there were two waves of strikes next, and there were no living people on the entire artillery position after these three volleys.

Yan Qingshan looked at the effect and was very satisfied. This new type of shell was so cool. He then ordered: "Five shots of shrapnel shots at the city gate!"

Now there are Qing troops outside the north gate of Jiangyin County, and Jiangyin County is a very large county town. These Qing troops knew that those who went in first would definitely get some good things, so they were blocked at the north gate and could not enter and could not get out. At this time, the shrapnel bullets above their heads arrived, and they immediately bleeded all over the ground. Because the number of people was too dense, many lead bullets had to penetrate three or four people before they could remove the force. After five volleys, the gate of Beimen was cleared. It was not that there was no one else, but that there was no living person.

Yan Qingshan has never seen dead people, but he has never seen such collective massacres today. Just now, there were seven or eight thousand Qing troops at the gate of the city, and now they have all been beaten to death. Only a dozen or so guys, who are not sure whether they are unlucky or lucky, hugging their broken legs, and their intestines are wailing.

Yan Qingshan, the robber leader who killed countless people, couldn't help swallowing and thought to himself: "Damn it, my cheap son-in-law made this thing really domineering."

At this time, the 3,500 army that had just arrived on the dock were also stunned. It was the first time they saw naval artillery firing, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful. Qian Yong said in his heart: "It seems that this money is not spent in vain, and the speed of killing people is faster than our army."

At this time, Yan Qingshan's loud voice on the boat started shouting: "Qian Yong, what are you looking at? Haven't you entered the city yet?"

Qian Yong cursed Lao Shui Mouse and ordered his team to gather and go in from the north gate. He saw the killing of the braided hair.

When passing the north gate, many people vomited. After all, seven or eight thousand people were beaten and their intestines were broken, and their stomachs were rotten. This smell was definitely not good. The army paid attention to the queue, but when you were walking in a straight line, you suddenly found that there was half of the intestine or half a skull under your feet, which could calm down.

Qian Yong looked at the platoon leaders who had vomited and couldn't help but curse: "Don't look at the feet, just look ahead, listen to the order!"

This command was very effective. No matter what strange sounds were made under the feet, these people just listened to the drum commands and walked into the city in a straight manner.

Entering the city is much better than entering the city gate. It’s not that there are no dead people in the city, but the death of cold weapons and the death of hot weapons is incomparable. At this time, the Qing army in the city finally found that a group of rooster-like troops rushed in outside the city gate, taking neat steps, and there were drums beating beside them.

The Qing army, the northern local beggars, had seen such European troops, and they were stunned for a moment.

Qian Yongke, regardless of whether they were stunned or not, shouted after entering the range: "Rise the gun, prepare, shoot!"
