Perhaps Zheng Chenggong would not have all out, but there was one person who would, that is Zhao Sandao. He keenly grabbed Yue Le and asked to surrender the antler, and prepared to put a trap on the two Zhejiangs, which were still in Yue Le's hands, and control it in the hands of the United States. Unfortunately, since the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not a main war zone, Zhao Sandao's army is not large.

A reinforced regiment of 3,000 infantry plus 4,000 armed sailors were all under Zhao Sandao's command. Fortunately, he had a boat, and even more fortunately, Yue Le, who was determined to provide him with a harbor to go ashore anyway.

But Zhao Sandao's luck is not just that. When he was about to set off, the first wave of reinforcements in the base camp had arrived, but it was a fleet mainly composed of battleships and heavy patrols. The commander of the fleet was Li Mingxun's eldest son Li Jundu. Last year, he and Simmons defeated the challenge of Western colonists at sea and sent prisoners from various countries to the base camp. After the negotiations, Li Jundu led the fleet to Nanyang again, but wanted to Xuanwei all parties. Over the past year, he went to Siam, Zhenla, Guangnan, and received letters from Annan and Myanmar, which completely disintegrated the maritime anti-China alliance established by the Dutch.

Originally he was going to Shandong, but he was delayed in order to convince his stubborn mother to go to his husband's side. Now he appeared in Zhejiang and brought ten main warships that could shock Yanping's vassals, as well as a brigade of marines and armed sailors. In the end, Li Jundu and Zhao Sandao's troops combined, with 15,000 people, appeared in Haining Port.

This is the home port of the Southeast Navy of the Qing Dynasty. It has been controlled by Yue Le, and all the artillery weapons on the ship have been unloaded. The sailors have been disarmed and taken care of. Only the sailors are waiting for dispatch on the ship.

"Aisin Jueluo Yuele, see Your Highness!" If you were facing Zhao Sandao, Yuele might not have kneeled down, but the person in front of you was Li Mingxun's eldest son, who was already a prince-level person.

Li Jundu has seen many kings, sultans and princes in Nanyang over the past year, but this is the first time he has seen the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He is only sixteen years old and has experienced extraordinary demeanor. He raised his hand to signal Yue Le to get up. Yue Le stood up and looked at Li Jundu and said, "How lucky I can see Your Highness's noble face."

"Please get up with Your Highness Yue Le. You are a person who is very wise and righteous. Anyway, I will report it to my father truthfully if you have made merits." Li Jundu said.

If Zhao Sandao agreed to Yue Le, he was a little unbelievable, but Li Jundu's promise would be full of power. Yue Le immediately thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness and reward. I have already prepared a banquet in Haining City..."

Li Jundu waved his hand: "No need. After the land brigade arrives ashore, I will lead the army to attack. Your Highness Yue Le will also prepare for it. Your Highness needs help in this operation."

Yue Le hurriedly said, "I'm following the order of Your Highness, so I'll send someone to Hangzhou to prepare to welcome Your Highness."

Li Jundu said directly: "If we don't go to Hangzhou, the place we are going to is Jiaxing. Whose territory is there now?"

Yue Le knew that Li Jundu was asking him about the current situation and immediately said: "The Ming army fought a bloody battle in Suzhou and is still resting. I believe that it will go south in the past two days. Jiaxing has no established troops, but it is still large... It is still under the control of the Qing Dynasty."

"Okay, now you do two things." Li Jundu said seriously.

Yue Le quickly said yes, and Li Jundu directly ordered: "First, send 500 people from the Eight Banners under your command to issue a customs defense document, led by Zhao Sandao, as the pioneer, take down Jiaxing City first.

If we hand over the command of the Hangzhou Daying to Luo Keduo, I will send two thousand troops to Hangzhou with him to control the Eight Banners soldiers and the Hangzhou Daying’s materials and supplies.”

"Your Highness, are you going to go to war with the Ming court? I am willing to lead the army as the forefront and serve the new dynasty." Yue Le asked first.

"No, no, no, you are wrong. Unless you receive an order from my father to announce the illegality of the Nanjing court, the Ming army in Jiangnan belongs to the same alliance as us, that is, allies of the China Alliance. Allies will not fight. I led my army here not to fight, but to control more territory in Liangzhe. Do you understand?" Li Jundu asked.

Of course, Yue Le didn't understand how important Jiangnan was. The main premise of the Ming court's control of Nanjing was that the main force of the Qing army was involved in the southeast war zone, and the main force in the north was trapped in Qingzhou. This was obviously the Ming court's advantage in the Eastern Federation. How could the Eastern Federation not resist?

"Yes, Your Highness, I will cooperate with you with all my strength." Yue Le could only obey the order.

Li Jundu nodded, took a document from the clerk and said, "Very good, you should mark this surrender book."

Yue Le was shocked: "Your Highness, we are sincere anyway."

Li Jundu said: "Of course, I know you are anyway, but before the rebellion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was settled, external propaganda must be your surrender. I will treat you with any standard. All the private property of the Qing army can be protected. You can also take out a reward of 500,000 taels of gratitude from the Hangzhou Treasury. If a family member, a wife is young in Zhejiang, you can also send it to Sijiao Mountain by boat first, and I will release everyone to free, but for the Ming court, you must say that you surrender.

Yue Le, you should be clear that the greatest wish of the traits and lackeys in the Nanjing court is to be recognized by the United States and become allies of the United States. Therefore, they killed Manchus and Mongols as much as possible in Jiangnan, and performed more than anyone else in anti-Qing. However, because of the territory, we may have conflicts. If we fight side by side with you, we will be labeled as "collecting the Qing Dynasty and attacking the Allies." If you are our prisoners, even if there is a conflict, they will be the traitors of the United States army to liquidate the traitors. Do you understand?"

Yue Le focused his attention and felt even more solemn. He thought that Li Jundu was only a 16 or 17-year-old young man, but he had already supervised the troops across the sea and land. Moreover, he had not fought and followed the post-war events. He was both proficient in military affairs and understood politics. What was really terrible. What was even more terrifying was the man who trained such a young hero. Thinking of this, Yue Le sighed: "Hey, I was defeated in the Qing Dynasty."

Let’s talk about Zhang Cunren who was indeed a minor blow at the city of Suzhou. Lang Ting was alone and knew that he would not be able to avoid death by surrendering. He simply held on to the end and delayed for a few days. Zhang Cunren originally wanted to get the support of the main forces of the green camps in southern Zhejiang first, and then go to Zhejiang to attack Yue Le, but he never thought that the scouts would pay their respects, and that if the troops occupied Jiaxing, he could only lead the army south.

Because there was no enough ships to raise, Zhang Cunren ordered the army to go along the canal, and the ships carried baggage and marched back. After traveling south for a day and a night, he had already reached the junction of Suzhou and Jiaxing. Zhang Cunren pointed to the small boats that kept flocking to the south and said, "I thought it was fake for the chaos in Jiaxing, but seeing these many gentry and civilians fleeing, it must be true."

Gao Di clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I have just entrusted several ships and asked. The one who controlled Jiaxing was not the Qing army but the Eastern Army soldiers."

"Dongfan soldiers?" Zhang Cunren laughed after hearing this: "Just, the Easternfan soldiers are either in Shandong or Fujian. Where are the Easternfan soldiers at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"Maybe it came from Sijiao Mountain?" Gao Di asked.

Zhang Cunren shook his head: "We have mastered Jiangnan for a short time, and the news may not be arrived. Even if we arrive, Sijiao Mountain is just a place where navy troops gather. How can we have the courage to attack Zhejiang and enter Jiaxing? Furthermore, the Qing court and Dongfan are as deep as the sea. How could Yue Le let Dongfan get ashore?"

"But those people are indeed said to be Eastern soldiers." Gao Di said.

A civil servant next to Zhang Cunren said, "Maybe the Governor, it may be the Yanping vassal soldiers in Zhoushan. In previous years, Yanping vassal soldiers went ashore to loot, mostly because of the name of the Dongfan."

When Zhang Cunren heard this, he felt nervous. He knew the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Qian Qianyi, and Zheng Chenggong was the king's title. If he led his army ashore, the two Zhejiangs might not be able to get into his own hands. Thinking of this, Zhang Cunren hurriedly ordered: "General Gao, you should lead the vanguard first, and I will lead the central army. Then we will arrive. We must not let Yanping's vassal get involved in Liangzhe."

After saying that, Zhang Cunren didn't care about his hard work and personally urged him to go to the battalions. The army was moving at a fast speed. By the afternoon, he had already entered Jiaxing. Seeing that he could not arrive in Jiaxing before dark, Zhang Cunren was rushing to see if the army was camping, suddenly a sound of guns and cannons came from the south, especially the sound of cannons was very heavy, like the landslides and the earth was cracking. It must be a heavy cannon with a large caliber. Zhang Cunren listened carefully and confirmed that it was the direction of Jiaxing. He quickly ordered Jiang Fang: "Go quickly and tell Gao Di, go and don't have a conflict with Yanping."

After a while, the explosion disappeared. After a while, Gao Di and Jiang Fang came back together. Gao Di reported: "Sir, it's not Yanping's vassal, but real Dongfan soldiers. They wore wool fleece, flintlock spear or bayonet. Although the clothes were not as good as we saw in Shandong, Dongfan was the same. They arranged in a horizontal line and warned us that shooting was a commonly used company-level volleyball tactic in the East."

"Did you see clearly?" Zhang Cunren was still unwilling to believe it.

Gao Di said: "It's not just because they saw it clearly, they also sent an envoy to contact him. Bei Yi originally wanted to see his coach, but the guy said that their coach was Li Mingxun's eldest son, deputy commander of the Southeast War Zone, a prince of the title, and a governor of the Bible. He was not a match for his duties, so he asked our army's commander to go."

"The eldest son of Li Thief?" Zhang Cunren was stunned when he heard this and said, "Has they already received the news?"

Gao Di said: "Not only were the Eastern Band soldiers, but the Eastern Band envoy also said that Yue Le had surrendered to them!"

After hearing this, Zhang Cunren was shocked. He did not expect such an ending. He rushed to Jiaxing overnight. When he arrived at the city of Jiaxing, he found that the Golden Dragon Banner of the United States had been hung on the city. Zhang Cunren sent an envoy into Jiaxing and obtained Li Jundu's permission, and the two sides met outside the city.

Jiaxing City is located on the plain of the Yangtze River Delta. It is flat and visible outside the city, so there is no fear of anyone causing trouble. When Li Jundu appeared in front of Zhang Cunren in a general costume, Zhang Cunren was slightly stunned. He thought about it and took the tribute first, but he did not kneel down: "Zhang Cunren, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang of the Ming Dynasty, met His Highness."

"Zhang Cunren? The last time I heard your name, I was in a letter written to me by my father, saying that you are very capable. If it weren't for you, maybe we would have won a long time ago. How could we save the Qing Dynasty and come to save the Ming Dynasty again?" Li Jundu was not polite at all.

"What Your Highness said is that the subordinates have been in a state of confusion for more than 20 years. Only when they are old can they realize loyalty and righteousness and orthodoxy. Therefore, they lead the army to make up for the mistakes of the first half of their lives, and they lead the army to fight and hope to make meritorious contributions." Zhang Cunren tried his best to be neither humble nor arrogant.

Li Jundu shook his whip and asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing this time going south?"

Zhang Cunren took a step forward and said in a straight voice: "Nature will restore Liangzhe for my Ming Dynasty and wipe out the Hulu."

Li Jundu turned his body and Yue Le took a step forward. Li Jundu said: "Don't bother Lord Zhang anymore. Yue Le, the Prince of An of the Qing Dynasty, has led Zhejiang's 6.5 million gentry and 140,000 Qing troops to surrender to our country. Liangzhe is no longer a land of fallen, but the territory of our United States."

Zhang Cunren looked at Yue Le in disbelief. Yue Le was dressed as a civilian, followed by two gun-carrying soldiers, like prisoners, and showed the signed surrender letter. After reading it, Zhang Cunren said, "Liangzhe is originally my hometown of the Ming Dynasty, how can you occupy it for you?"

Li Jundu smiled, looked up at Zhang Cunren's scalp, and sneered: "Look at your green-skinned head, you will know that you have not long ago. Anyway, you still don't know the alliance signed by our country and the Ming Dynasty. Because the Qing Dynasty jumped and the traitors were in trouble, most of the mainland of China and the Ming Dynasty worked together to protect the enemy. The alliance stipulates that the land occupied by the Qing Dynasty was the land of China, and the former land of the Han family would be owned by whom who was revived. Liangzhe asked our country to surrender, and naturally it would be the land of our country."

Zhang Cunren was naturally not familiar with the alliance, but he also knew that in order to take charge of the military power of the Ming army, Li Mingxun respected Emperor Ming as the patriarch of the Chinese nation and the supreme leader. He hurriedly asked: "The only official can go to Nanjing to ask for an order to let the emperor leave the country."

"Emperor, is that emperor in Nanjing? I only know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my uncle, was captured by the traitor Wu Sangui, and how did he appear in Jiangnan? Is he the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Is he still recognized by the head of state of our country? Similarly, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, and you Zhang Cunren, are you and other four people considered Ming ministers and Han generals? They also have to be recognized by the head of state of our country." Li Jundu said with neither humility nor arrogantness.

Zhang Cunren knew that the situation in front of him was not something he could control. He turned around and wanted to leave and asked for help from Nanjing. He said, "It is not yet known who belongs to Liangzhe, but there are 100,000 tigers in Jiangnan. The gentry and people are in harmony with Liangzhe, so they may not be able to return to one another."

Li Jundu smiled and said, "You lead the army to fight, provoke conflicts, break up the war, and lead to the breakup of the alliance. You, Zhang Cunren, are the culprit!"

After hearing this, Zhang Cunren forced himself to leave and returned to the military camp. Gao Di said, "Sir, I have already investigated it. There are only less than 3,000 Eastern Army soldiers in Jiaxing, and our army is more than 30,000. As long as you give the order, you can pacify Jiaxing."
