1648 (five years and two years of Qing Shunzhi), Lu Ruoteng, governor of Nanming Zhejiang, and others came back, and Zheng Chenggong attacked again after accumulating strength. Zheng Chenggong's Ministry mainly comes from four aspects: first, a few generals who follow him, such as Hong Xu and others; Second, people with lofty ideals recruited from Fujian coastal areas, such as Gan Hui in Haicheng and Langdon in Zhangpu; The third is to follow Zheng Zhilong's descent to the Qing Dynasty, and to attack Guangdong and Guangxi with the troops of Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong. 1648, Li Chengdong returned to Fujian from Guangdong anyway, such as Shi Lang (then called Shi Lang), Hong Xishan and Huang Ting. Fourth, a few generals of the Qing army stationed in the southeast coast who still cherish the idea of the motherland came back from difficulties. Generally speaking, Zheng Chenggong can treat these generals from different backgrounds equally, but this is the only way. In particular, the military organizations have been carefully reorganized to prevent the generals from being arrogant. This is the decisive measure he took after summing up the lessons of the imperial court's appeasement since Hong Guang and Longwu. It is precisely because of the extremely strict military organization and discipline that Zheng Chenggong became a real commander-in-chief, not a nominal ally. Tongan Campaign 1648 (two years in the fifth year of Qing Shunzhi), on the 10th day of April, Zheng Chenggong led an attack on Tongan County, Fujian Province. The deputy commander of the Qing army, Lian Biao and the guerrilla refractive autumn led the troops out of the city to meet them, and they were defeated and entered the city. On the 18th, Zheng Jun, Enemy at the Gates, Zhang Xiaoling, Lian Biao, and the upright official refracted Qiu and fled the city with beaten army. After entering the city, he ordered his daughter to appoint Ye as Tongan county magistrate and Chen as Oracle, called on all students to resist him and suggested that the people pay wages. At this moment, Lin Cha, the company commander who had served for the establishment of Shaowu regime by Tang Wang Zhu in Guangzhou, fled from Guangdong and reported that the emperor had been established in Guangxi, Huguang and other places. Zheng Chenggong raised his hand and said, "I have a monarch who can work!" " "Arrange the table sweetmeats to worship the south, and serve the eternal calendar from now on. He sent Jiang, a calligrapher of Longwu, to Guangdong by sea with their poems, and reported to the court their anti-Qing situation along the coast of Fujian, expressing his willingness to cooperate with things and seek revival under the leadership of the court.
In May, Zheng Jun besieged Quanzhou; In July, Chen Tai, the general of Jingnan in the Qing Dynasty, Jin Chen, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Zhao Guozhuo, the magistrate of Fujian, turned to Tongan, and Zheng Jun was defeated, resulting in numerous casualties among commanders and soldiers. Soon, the Qing army reinforcements arrived in Quanzhou, went to solve the siege of Quanzhou and returned to the sea. In the same year, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, the general commanders of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, set out to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Jiangxi, and Li Chengdong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, also invested in the Li Yong regime, which made the momentum of fighting against the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight soar for a while. Unfortunately, most of the anti-Qing forces have become local struggles without tacit understanding and fragmented. Soon after, the Qing court suppressed the forces of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Jiangxi. The following year, Li Chengdong's army in Guangdong also perished.
1649 (six years and three years of Qing Shunzhi), Zheng Chenggong changed Li Yong to Zhengshuo; Li Yong named him "King of Yanping" (King of County), and from then on some people called him "Zheng Yanping". In the battle of Tide (1649), in October, Zheng Chenggong decided to send troops south. In addition to attacking the Qing army in southern Fujian, he also planned to subdue towns and villages along the way as food sources. More than a month later, Zhangpu, Xiao Yun and other places were captured by the Qing army, and villages such as Dahao and Xiamei were also settled; 1 1 month, Zheng Jun attacked Zhaoan, but decided to turn to eastern Guangdong and conquer uncooperative sporadic troops from fenshuiguan to Chaozhou. In May of the following year, Chaoyang and many surrounding cottages were conquered for the first time. Hao Shangjiu, commander of Chaozhou County, fought against Li Chengdong in 1648 (the fifth and second year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty), but attacked Shi Lang, Zheng Hongkui and other departments and rejected Zheng Chenggong's request of "allied forces". When Zheng Jun attacked Xinxu Village, he sent his troops to make things difficult and made enemies with Zheng Chenggong.
1650 (the seventh and fourth years of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty) In June, Zheng Chenggong's army arrived in Chaozhou, and he sent troops to attack Hao Shangjiu on the grounds of "unclear position". Hao department fell and retreated to Fucheng, and Jieyang, Puning and Huilai counties fell into the hands of Zheng Jun. Soon, the Qing army invaded Guangdong again. Hao Shangjiu was caught between Scylla and Charybdis, but in a rage, he sent the Qing army into Chaozhou City to resist Zheng. Zheng Jun besieged Chaozhou City in March, and faced with the problem of food aid, so he had to retreat to southern Fujian in August. Xiamen fell in 1650 (the seventh and fourth years of Qing Shunzhi), and Zheng Chenggong's uncle (first brother) Cai Zheng and Zheng Lian's troops owned Xiamen. After Zheng Chenggong returned to Minnan, in order to strengthen his own strength, he used Zheng Lian as an excuse to extort money in Xiamen and hurt the people. Take Shi Lang's advice and take Xiamen in a planned way. In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, Zheng Chenggong took the opportunity of Cai Zheng leaving Xiamen to visit Zheng Lian. Zheng Lian was unprepared and was assassinated. Soon, when Cai Zheng learned of Zheng Lian's death, he was even more afraid of fighting with Zheng Chenggong. After returning to Xiamen, he surrendered all the military power. Since then, it has received some troops from Hezheng, and actually gained Xiamen and Jin as base areas. In November of the lunar calendar, two kings, Qingpingnan and Jingnan, led tens of thousands of fighters into Guangzhou; Zheng Chenggong ordered his uncle Zheng Zhiguan to stay in Xiamen. /kloc-in October/February, Zheng Chenggong arrived in Jieyang, Guangdong, and joined forces with Zheng Hongkui; He said that he would lead his troops south, and Zheng Hongkui would lead his troops to guard Xiamen. In the same year, accompanied by Ceng Ying and others from the Cabinet Department, King Lu came to Xiamen to take refuge in Zheng Chenggong and was placed in Kinmen.
165 1 (eight years of Qing Shunzhi and five years of Li Yong) In the first month, Zheng Chenggong arrived in South Australia. On February 25th, Zheng Jun's fleet was caught in a storm near Yanzhou Port. Zheng Chenggong's main ship almost disintegrated and capsized, and almost all the vessels on board, including Ding Lu, were lost. According to records, even food could not be prepared on the ship at that time, and Zheng Chenggong himself was even hungry for two meals. It was not until the next afternoon that the wind and rain gradually subsided that Zheng Chenggong's main and auxiliary ships could return to the shore to meet the fleet. This is the biggest disaster that Zheng Chenggong himself encountered at sea. Afterwards, Zheng Chenggong also rewarded two main and co-pilots of China warships.
165 1 year (eight years and five years of Qing Shunzhi) In March, Zheng Jun arrived in Guangdong Daxing Station (now Huidong, Guangdong). On the other hand, Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, learned that Zheng Chenggong's main army had gone to Guangdong, and Xiamen-Zhangzhou's defense was loose, which seemed to have an opportunity. He ordered Ma Degong, Wang Bangjun and others to attack Xiamen. Ma Degong held Zheng Zhibao hostage in Nan 'an, and ordered him to hand over the ship to ferry the Qing army to Xiamen, and successfully defeated Zheng Jun at sea. In the face of the attack of the Qing army, Zheng Zhiguan, who was in charge of Xiamen's defense, was afraid before the war and only cared about carrying property to escape on a private ship. It made the Qing army break Xiamen quite easily and plundered the savings and equipment of the Zheng family. Due to the sudden accident, Mrs. Dong and Zheng Jing, the eldest son of Zheng Chenggong, only had time to escape from the sea with their ancestral tablets. After the successful sneak attack, the Qing army had no intention of staying in Xiamen to fight Zheng Jun, so it returned to the inland with a large number of trophies. Just then, Zheng Hongkui, who rushed to Xiamen to help, was besieged by Ma Degong's returning army at sea, but Ma Degong threatened to kill his mother and brother (Zheng Zhilong). In desperation, he had to let go. Soon, Zheng Chenggong learned of the attack on Xiamen, Guangdong. At first, he insisted on working hard in the south, but in the end, because the officers and men were homesick and cried everywhere, they had to move back to Xiamen. After recovering Xiamen, he was held accountable and beheaded his uncle Zheng, afraid to fight and escape; Zheng Hongkui, on the other hand, surrendered the relieving power, retired to Baisha, dongshi town, and stopped asking about politics. In the same year, in May of the lunar calendar, General Zheng Hongkui, Shi Lang, fell again. The Battle of Zhangzhou (1652) On the first month of the lunar calendar, He Wenxing, commander of the Qing Haicheng, surrendered to Zheng Chenggong. In February, Zheng Jun attacked Changtai, and the Qing Dynasty sent Jin Chen to lead the army to rescue him. The two armies fought at Jiangdong Bridge. Zheng Chenggong, who is familiar with the topography of southern Fujian, arranged many ambushes near Jiangdong Bridge, defeated Jin Chen, wiped out most of the Qing army and won the battle of Jiangdong Bridge. Soon, Changtai was captured. After conquering Changtai, Zheng Chenggong assembled an army to attack Zhangzhou Fucheng, surrounded by layers. In April, in order to solve the siege of Zhangzhou, the Qing dynasty raised hundreds of ships to invade the mansion, and the attack could be saved. Zheng Chenggong sent more than 0/00 warships from Chen Hui and Zhou Ruihe to meet him. Yu Chongwu defeated the Qing army and won the battle of Chongwu. Zheng Jun won a great victory at sea, so the pressure on Zhangzhou City increased instead of decreasing. However, the defenders in Zhangzhou were also quite tenacious, which made the siege situation last for half a year. In a few months, the water and food in Zhangzhou city have been exhausted, and countless foot soldiers and people have starved to death. It is said that at that time, the soldiers and civilians in the city competed for food with each other, and even people who had food at home were afraid to cook, because once they were found to have lit cigarettes, people would be robbed, and it was even said that some people ate human flesh. In history, "the people in the city feed themselves, the people die eight times, and the soldiers and horses are hungry." In September of the same year, the general of the Qing army, Gushan Ejinajin, led an army of 10,000 people to Fujian and entered Quanzhou. Zheng Chenggong ordered the lifting of the enemy's siege of Zhangzhou. Zheng Chenggong arranged troops in Jiangdong, trying to ambush Jin Lijun by defeating Jin Chen, but was caught by Gionee Gushan, and the two armies started a scuffle. Zheng Jun's prefect of Huangshan Mountain, Chen Feng of the town, Hong of Youxianfeng Town, Qinding Town and Youzhenshou Town were all killed in the fierce fighting. After losing the battle, Zheng Jun had to retreat to ensure the safety of Haicheng and Xiamen. The Qing army recovered Nanjing, Zhangpu, Pinghe and Zhaoan. After the siege of Zhangzhou in the Battle of Haicheng failed, Zheng Chenggong ordered his troops to defend Haicheng and returned to Xiamen in 1653 (ten years and seven years of Qing Shunzhi). Hou Zhangmingzhen of Dingxi suggested that the Qing army should take advantage of the fact that its main forces were concentrated in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and lead the former navy to the Yangtze River to "smash its confidant", which made the Qing side in a dilemma. Zheng Chenggong agreed to this proposal and may have provided some boats, food and equipment. This autumn, Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Huangyan and others led the navy to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In April, Li Jing mobilized land and water officers and soldiers to prepare to attack Haicheng County and Zhongzuosuo (Xiamen). On the 28th, under the command of Li Jing, the Qing army camped in Zushantou and began to attack Haicheng. On the first day of May, Zheng Chenggong sent troops to Haicheng. On the fourth day, Li Jing mobilized hundreds of spears and guns to bombard Zheng Jun's position, and many of Zheng Jun's spears and fences were damaged. The next day, Chen Kui of Houli Town and Zhang Ye of Houchong Town saw that passive beating was not the way, and asked for active attack. Zheng Chenggong agreed with them. As soon as the Qing army saw that Tai was leaving the camp, it was immediately subjected to intensive artillery fire. Zheng Chenggong ordered the retreat and persisted. The Qing army continued to bombard with spears, and the newly-built spears and other fortifications near Zhenyuan Village were razed to the ground. Zheng Junbing lost the barrier, and all the officers and men were surprised. Zheng Chenggong ordered the excavation of crypts to hide, and at the same time boosted morale. In order to further strengthen the determination of the soldiers, Zheng Chenggong personally braved the dense gunfire to climb the towering enemy platform to observe the enemy's position. He judged that the Qing army was about to launch an all-out attack after two days of spearing. That night, he sent artifact towns He Ming and Hongshan to bury a lot of gunpowder in the river ditch where the two armies were at loggerheads, prepare the fuse and send it to standby.
After nightfall, the Qing army kept firing. On the seventh day of the fifth drum, Li Jing ordered green camp soldiers to take the lead under the cover of empty guns, followed by Manzhouli soldiers, who rushed in to fill the river and reached the gate, with arrows raining down in an attempt to enter the city at one fell swoop. After dawn, Zheng Chenggong saw that most of the soldiers had crossed the river and immediately ordered He Ming and others to light the fuse. The gunpowder buried along the river broke out at the same time, and the smoke covered the sky. Most of the Qing soldiers who just crossed the river were burned to death. Gan Hui took the opportunity to sweep the army and made a mess of the Qing army. Seeing that the defeat had been decided, Li Jing hurriedly ordered the soldiers to force the civilian worker to carry guns and flee back to Zhangzhou overnight. Zheng Chenggong's victory in the Battle of Haicheng dealt a heavy blow to the Qing army in Jinli and restored the low morale caused by Zhangzhou's defeat.
After the war in Haicheng, Li Jing was recalled to the capital by the Qing court. Qing and Zheng are once again deadlocked. 1653 (ten years and seven years of Qing Shunzhi) In May of the lunar calendar, after the Qing army was defeated twice, Emperor Shunzhi named Zheng Chenggong as "Hai Chenggong", but Zheng Chenggong did not accept it. In August, the two sides made peace with Anping Hongzhi, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Zheng Jun was able to take a leave of absence and make a little rectification. 1 1 month, the emperor shunzhi sealed it again and promised to put soldiers in a house (the state capital), but Zheng Chenggong still refused to accept it.
1654 (eleven years of Qing Shunzhi and eight years of Li Yong), Zhanghouming Town in Dingxi saw that the Qing army had concentrated its troops in Fujian, and the defense of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was bound to be empty; So he invited a teacher from Zheng Chenggong, led hundreds of warships to the north and captured the area south of the Yangtze River. The division of the Northern Expedition in Zhangming Town attacked along the Yangtze River and reached Jinshan Temple, threatening Nanjing City. However, due to lack of backup, I had to return to Li. In February, the Qing court sent a special envoy to Zheng Chenggong, promising to cede the place to Xinghua, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou. Zheng Chenggong refused again on the grounds that "there are many soldiers and horses, and there are not enough places to save." In August, the Qing dynasty sent envoys to discuss; Zheng Chenggong's brother Du Zheng and Andrew are also among the envoys. Zheng Chenggong said that "the Qing Dynasty had no sincerity" and "as long as I was not summoned, my father would be honored to be in North Korea", and once again rejected the conditions put forward by the Qing Dynasty and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. Li Dingguo, the king of Xining in Nanming, contacted Zheng Chenggong, hoping to jointly attack Guangdong from the east and west, so that the forces of the Ming Dynasty could be integrated; If we go north along the Yangtze River and attack Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, the great cause of rejuvenation can be expected. Zheng Chenggong sent Lin Cha and Zhou Rui to the Western Expedition, but he postponed his appointment with Li Dingguo for some reason. As a result, Li Dingguo fought alone. Although Zhaoqing was recovered, it was still defeated outside Guangzhou. Li Dingguo had high hopes for the joint Northern Expedition, and even promoted the marriage between Li and Zheng Lian to consolidate the alliance. But to Li Dingguo's great disappointment, Zheng Chenggong missed this great event because of his repeated victories. In the same year, Liu Guoxuan, the commander of Zhangzhou in Qing Dynasty, surrendered to Zheng Chenggong and led Zheng Jun into Zhangzhou Fucheng. Zhang Shiyao, a general town in Zhangzhou, saw that the tide was running out, and all the following officials surrendered to Zheng Jun. In December, Zheng Jun divided his forces to attack and captured five counties, namely Tong 'an, Nan 'an, Hui 'an, Anxi, Yongchun and Dehua, and the army entered Xinghua.
1655 (the 12th year of Shunzhi in Qing dynasty, the 9th year of Li Yong), due to the far distance between the forces of Li Yong and Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong was authorized to set up six officials, and was allowed to appoint official positions, including one military attache and six civil servants. Every time Zheng Chenggong pays homage to an official, he invites Ning Jing, Shu Gui and other members of the Ming royal family to watch the ceremony to show respect for the system. Zheng Chenggong also renamed Xiamen (then known as Zhongzuosuo) as "Siming House" and built a martial arts school to personally supervise the officers and men's practice. In September, General Dingyuan and Prince Zheng Qinwang of the Qing Dynasty led 30,000 troops into Fujian, and prepared to attack Xiamen with the troops stationed in Fujian. Zheng Chenggong consolidated the defenses of Kinmen and Xiamen. At the same time, the dispatch department will also lead the boat division to attack in two ways, all the way up to Zhejiang and all the way down to Guangdong. It is difficult for the Qing army to take care of both the head and the tail. In the north, Zheng Jun won Lien Chan and attacked Zhoushan. Although Zheng Jun once marched south to Jieyang, he was defeated by the Qing army reinforcements and suffered heavy casualties.
1656 (13th year of Qing Shunzhi, 10th year) In April, various water forces were mobilized to attack Xiamen, which was solemnly created in the waters around Weitou, and the Qing army was defeated. Zheng Jun won the battle of Quanzhou. 1February, Zheng Chenggong's troops won the battle of Huguoling in northeast Fujian. 1654 (11th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty and 8th year of Li Yong), Zhang Houming Town and Nanming Dingxi Supervisor led troops into the Yangtze River estuary three times. In January, Nanming Army went up the river and reached Guazhou and Jinshan near Zhenjiang. In April, Nanming Army entered the Yangtze River again until Zhenjiang and Yizhen (now Yizheng, Jiangsu), which was a step closer to Jiangning. /kloc-in October/February, Zhang Mingzhen and others led more than 400 warships to the Yanziji area in the north of Jiangning. The Qing army was ready. After a fierce battle, the Ming army returned to Chongming Island. Although the "exploration" of the Yangtze River did not achieve great results, the maritime guerrilla warfare adopted by Nanming made the Qing army completely passive and helpless.
In order to consolidate the defense of Jiangning and other places, in 1655 (the 12th and 9th year of Qing Shunzhi), the Qing court moved the "killer weapon"-the red cannon stored in Jiangning warehouse to Zhenjiang Fort. The Qing court did not expect that a larger-scale battle of the Yangtze River was coming. During the period of 1658 (15th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty and 12th year of Li Yong), the Qing army concentrated its main force on encirclement and suppression of Li Yong regime in Yunnan, Guizhou and Nanming, and its defense in the southeast was relatively empty. Zheng Chenggong predicted that Jiangning's defense was weak and decided to use this favorable fighter plane to attack Jiangning with all his strength. In August, he led the fleet from Zhoushan to the north. However, Zheng Chenggong's fleet has been active in Fujian waters for a long time and is not familiar with Zhejiang waters. In addition, when it sailed to Yangshan (now Dayangshan Island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province), it was hit by a typhoon. From August 9th to 1 1 day, the storm never stopped.
Facing the strange sea area and the sudden typhoon, Zheng Chenggong's fleet suddenly fell into a desperate situation. Ships are vulnerable in the huge wind and waves, some are directly buried in the belly of fish, some are scattered and drifting, and some are stranded on the mainland coast. Zheng Jun's officers and soldiers and their families suffered heavy casualties. More than 8000 people drowned, including Zheng Chenggong's concubine and three sons. This strong typhoon prevented Zheng Chenggong from going northward and temporarily resolved the crisis faced by the Qing army. Main entries: Zheng Chenggong's northern expedition and preparations for the northern expedition in Nanjing campaign 1659 (sixteen years of Qing Shunzhi, thirteen years). On April 19, after more than half a year's rectification and recovery after the Yangshan disaster, it was heard that in February of the first year, the Qing Dynasty mobilized troops to attack the Yunnan-Guizhou-Li Yong regime, so Zheng Chenggong made another large-scale northern expedition. On May 13, Zheng Chenggong once again led a great army from the coast of Zhejiang to the north. At this point, Zheng Jun * * * has more than 3,000 large and small ships, with more than 0,000 horses/kloc-0,000, and 8,000 fighters. First, capture Dinghai (now Zhoushan, Zhejiang), destroy the Qing navy's Dinghai navy, burn more than 100 ships, basically eliminate the Qing army's maritime power, and relieve the worries of marching into the Yangtze River. In June, in order to curb the three-way siege of Li Yong regime in Nanming by the Qing army, Zheng Chenggong cooperated with Zhang Huangyan and led the 83rd Battalion170,000 amphibious troops to northern expedition. Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expeditionary Army, which besieged Nanjing, went hand in hand with land and water. Soon, Jiao Shan and Guazhou were captured, and Zhenjiang, an important gateway of the Yangtze River, and its counties were also captured. On June 26th, Zheng Chenggong's vanguard troops arrived in the suburbs of Nanjing, and on July 12, the siege of Nanjing was completed. At the same time, Zhang Huangyan led troops along the river and occupied 22 counties including Taiping, Ningguo, Chizhou and Huizhou. The Qing court was surprised to learn that.
The emperor shunzhi was so angry that he threatened to order a personal expedition. On the eighth day of July, Emperor Shunzhi ordered the Minister of the Interior, Da Su, to be General Annan, and unified forces to reinforce Jiangnan. During the success of Zheng Chenggong's Enemy at the Gates, the atmosphere in Nanjing was very tense. The Qing army counterattacked Lang Zuoting, burned the houses near the city wall outside Nanjing, and moved all the residents within ten miles of Nanjing into the city. Secondly, put up notices to reassure people, send troops to check closely, put an end to internal affairs, and severely punish those who take the opportunity to rob and make trouble. Finally, we should step up the storage of grain and grass, buy weapons and repair ships. In addition, we also need to repair paddles, ropes and other items, recruit helmsmen and sailors, and prepare for future land and water counterattacks.
At this time, when Zheng Chenggong worshipped the Ming tombs, he also let the soldiers drink to celebrate. He was carried away by the temporary victory and confused by the tactics of the Qing army, which delayed the war for a month. Lang, the governor of the Qing army trapped in Nanjing, seized the opportunity of Zheng Jun's soldiers to "quench their thirst by drinking poison" for their birthday and to command the Qing army to attack by land and water. 1659 (16th and 13th years of Qing Shunzhi) On July 24th, KaKa Mu, Nanjing Supreme Commander of Qing Army, formed a mixed formation of Eight Banners Army and green camp Army. The land soldiers were divided into three roads, and the water soldiers were divided into one road. They fought a decisive battle with Zheng Jun outside the city. At the same time, Jiangsu Governor Jiang sent soldiers to help. The specific attack direction is as follows: the first way is the Qing army, which besieged the main force of Zheng army in Mufu Mountain from six directions: northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and northwest. On the second road, the Qing army attacked the shogunate from the west. On the third road, the Qing army attacked the Shogun Mountain from the north, waiting for an opportunity to burn Zheng's ships on the Yangtze River and cut off their way back to the river. On the fourth route, the Qing army, led by the prefect Guan Zhongyi, set out from the waterway and attacked the ships on the Zhengjun River. The Northern Expedition was a fiasco. The Qing army bombarded Zheng Jun's camp with artillery, and then directly launched a charge. The cavalry also dismounted and fought on foot. In less than half a day, many camps of Zheng Jun were successively breached by the Qing army, and the rest of the people and horses fled to the river. Zheng Jun's navy commanded Huang An and his men to fight to the death, while covering the retreat of the defeated soldiers who fled from the shore and their families, and rescued thousands of Zheng Jun soldiers who jumped into the river and fled back from the water. In the fierce battle, Zheng Jun's navy lost more than 500 ships. However, they finally resisted the water offensive of the Qing army and covered the remnants of the army to evacuate to the ship, avoiding the tragedy of total annihilation.
Zheng Chenggong rushed back to Jinmen and Xiamen, but Zhang Huangyan was isolated and retreated from eastern Zhejiang, and the Northern Expedition finally failed.
