Historically, the Qing army showed its fangs until the Jiangnan was basically pacified, and took the opportunity to launch a new round of massacre and looting under the pretext of shaving the hair and changing clothes.

To put it bluntly, the matter of shaving hair and changing clothes is not only for cultural brainwashing and national identity, but more so for robbery and reshuffle land annexation and alleviating the financial pressure of the Qing Dynasty.

If you directly kill your own people, you will lose your heart. Moreover, if you don’t have a guiding program and kill randomly, you will not be able to stop killing in the future, and eventually it will lead to the dynasty’s self-destruction and death.

Use shaving or not to draw lines to distinguish the most tolerant people from those who have some ideas, realize the united front, unite the majority at every moment, and attack a small group of people.

After killing a small group, you can draw a new line by cleverly setting up a name to complete a new united front, pointing out new enemies, and ensuring that you only deal with a very small number at every moment, and the chance of success will be greatly increased.

Shaving your head but not shaving it just happened to become the name of this temporary united front, and the specific content is not important.

It is not difficult to understand after understanding this logic. When Duoduo appears in front of him, he will take out the shaving order in advance to use it. It is normal.

No matter what, "it is better to kill and rob" is less popular than to rob without shaving your head, and it is better to take the people's hearts than to rob without setting up a name.

The military situation was like fire. Duoduo only took one night to figure out the truth, and Qian Gang made up his mind. The next morning, he ordered Zhang Cunren and Wanyan Yechen to implement it immediately.

...

The Ming army opposite Duoduo naturally had a slower reaction speed. At least the Duoduo's army had just started to hold a hair shaving order in five counties in Changzhen. If they didn't shave their heads, they would catch the strong men and confiscate their property. The Ming army around Jiangyin, Jinshan Temple and Nanjing would not know about this situation.

The first person to notice something was wrong was Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong from Jinshan Temple. Who made them the target of Duoduo attacking?

The number of strong men captured by Duoduo suddenly increased, and the organizational strength became increasingly strong. Zheng Chenggong's soldiers could immediately understand it.

Not to mention, Duoduo's trick to quench thirst was really effective in the first few days. The Zheng family's army guarded Jinshan Temple and shot at the high-intensity beach, and soon suffered a lot of casualties.

Although there were a large number of casualties on the Duoduo Army, all the civilians who built the dam were arrested. From a distance, a group of black people could attract firepower.

Zheng Chenggong's soldiers fired at the position bunker through dozens of feet of river, and could not see the opposite target clearly. A large amount of firepower wasted on these strong men, so they diluted the firepower to attack the Qing army's archers, resulting in the Qing army being able to output flexibly and effectively.

At the critical moment, Zheng Chenggong had to ask for permission to abandon the beachhead position and guard the mountain temple to death.

Zhu Shuren was actually a little dark at the beginning, and he thought that he should resist the enemy at the beach when landing. In the past two days, he personally took the navy to patrol the Yangtze River and observed the offensive and defensive battle patterns of the Zheng family and the Qing army close by. Only then did he realize that this style of fighting is indeed easy to suffer losses.

The main reason is that the firearms of this era are generally too close to the range. If it is a modern war, the firearms often have a range of hundreds or thousands of meters, then the defending soldiers in anti-landing operations can hide in solid fortifications far away from the mud of the beaches like the Normandy beach.

In other words, if Zheng Chenggong's soldiers had guns with such a long range today, they wouldn't have to risk going to the beach to block them. They could just hide on the mountain of Jinshan Temple and shoot at the river beach, and they could block the beach.

Unfortunately, the firearms of this era do not have this range and there is no danger to defend on the beach. If you want to block the enemy, you have to stand on the beach and shoot at the target.

The biggest advantage of the defense side has changed from shooting to counterattack. They can first hide in the dangerous place of Shan Temple and allow the enemy to land first, but only a small part of the enemy's vanguard troops will immediately launch a counterattack. Taking advantage of the local number of people being pushed by the entire defense army, the offensive party, who had just arrived ashore and had not yet stabilized, pushed the offensive party, who had just stepped ashore and had not stabilized, down the Yangtze River again.

After thinking about it, Zhu Shuren sent someone to give Zheng Chenggong new instructions: given that the enemy's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, some beachhead positions can be abandoned as appropriate and replaced with flexible defense, that is, allow the enemy's front troops to rush to the beachhead by chance, but they must not be able to gain a foothold and attack and counterattack in time!

As for the scale of elastic defense, Zhu Shuren also drew a red line: Any area where the beachhead fortifications has not been destroyed by enemy artillery fire is not allowed to retreat!

It must be a wooden fence for the fortification. The rammed earth wall was completely blown and flattened by Duoduo's red cannons before it can retreat! Otherwise, even if only three-foot-high rammed earth residues are left, soldiers must squat down and hide behind these damaged bunkers to export! This is to prevent any section of the riverside bunker from falling into the hands of the enemy and become an obstacle for the Ming army to charge forward in the future.

After all, you have to attack halfway through, so you can't let the landing enemy find a low wall as a cover as soon as they get ashore!

Zheng Chenggong thought about it and admitted that his elder brother was right. In addition, Zhu Shuren sent him three or five thousand more troops as reinforcements, and his weapons and ammunition were sufficient, so Zheng Chenggong continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

While giving the order to the end, Zhu Shuren also gave a letter earnestly, explaining the reasons for his arrangements with great sincerity:

This time, he was determined to kill the soldiers under Duoduo completely! Therefore, every enemy must be consumed as much as possible. If you don’t take advantage of these defensive battles to consume more Duoduo, the Ming army will have to kill them in the offensive field battle in the future, and the Ming army will pay much higher.

Although Zheng Chenggong has suffered orders of magnitude casualties in Jinshan Temple, and the number is increasing every day, the exchange ratio is pretty. Even if it is not as one-to-three exchange ratio as Nanjing City Defends Battle, it is definitely more than one-to-two. This number has not yet been counted as the strong men enforced by the Qing army.

If it were in field battles, the current Ming army might not be able to fight such a good casualty exchange ratio.

Zhu Shuren also mentioned one thing in his letter: He firmly believed that it would be best to consume some of the remaining ammunition in Jinshan Temple and try his best to consume. In the future, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army will soon weaken with the exhaustion of materials. At that time, even if the Ming army is fighting in the field, it should be able to make a good exchange comparison.

...

After the Ming army of Jinshan Temple received the promise of his superiors to turn the position of defensive defense into flexible defense, the Qing army under Duoduo finally saw obvious progress.

After the Ming army's beachhead positions were destroyed by artillery fire, the Ming army did not fill in human life and repair it. Instead, they directly gathered the troops behind the destroyed fortifications and moved them to positions that had not been destroyed by artillery.

After fighting for so many days, the Duoduo army's artillery finally saw hope. After seeing the fortifications of its own slaughtering enemy positions, the enemy would no longer repair it. For a while, the morale of the Qing army's artillery rebounded, and the artillery was more vigorous, and the planning for ammunition consumption gradually became extensive.

After all, the previous shelling was too unfulfilled, especially when attacking Nanjing, where they bombarded one by one, and then they fought to carry soil and stones to repair it.

As the fortifications of the Ming army gradually collapsed, in the first two days in late November, the Qing army attacked the beach several times, and thousands of people once gained a foothold.

However, Zheng Chenggong followed Zhu Shuren's latest instructions and immediately organized a backlash, leading tens of thousands of Ming troops out of Jinshan Temple. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qing army had not yet established a stable foothold, he rushed wildly and forced the Qing army to disperse with the advantage of four-for-one, one-five-one.

The Qing army had only more than 2,000 people to the beach every time. Due to the traffic conditions, more people could not land at the same time. Tens of thousands of people from the Ming army came to fight hand in hand, and the Qing army was unable to go around and fight, and they were blocked together to fight to the death. Even the artillery lost its function. The random artillery would only cause casualties between the two armies.

During the repeated battles of the Qing army, another Man Eight Banners Jiala and a Meng Eight Banner Jiala died in battle. One of them, Wanyan Yechen, who was personally supervising the battle, was shot by the deputy banner master, and was slightly injured.

Ordinary soldiers are naturally even more miserable. Every time they are backlashed, at least hundreds of elite soldiers will die directly, and the rest will jump into the river and flee back, and they will be shot in the river. If it weren't for the Qing archers on the south bank and the Qing army's crossbowmen who were desperately suppressed, the Ming army would have unstable foothold on the north bank and it would be difficult to expand the results of the battle, so the Qing army would have suffered more losses.

After a few days, during the tug-of-war at Jinshan Temple, the Qing army suffered a total of thousands of losses. Although the Ming army also suffered losses, the retreat route was always smooth, and reinforcements and supplies could be transported in through the Yangtze River, so morale was always stable.

After fighting several tough battles of elastic defense, Zheng Chenggong's military talent was once again discovered. He was becoming more and more skillful and keen in commanding the front-line battles, and became more and more perfect than when he blocked the Qing army in Bijiashan, Tashan and other places more than two years ago.

Considering that Zheng Chenggong is only twenty-one years old this year and only nineteen in the last war, it is normal to grow up like this at this age. In time, he will definitely become a famous general.

...

As the first wave of cardiac-enhancing effect brought by the Qing army's hair shaving order was dragged over, around November 25, the adverse reactions of the hair shaving order finally began to explode and gradually became known to the Ming army's camp.

To be precise, in the five counties controlled by the Qing army, there were small-scale resistance and commotion on November 23 and 24, as well as local scholars who were unwilling to be shaved and organized servants to flee, and conflicts with the occupying army.

It only took time for the message to be transmitted, and the Qing army would also intercept and blockade. The commotion in Jurong, Wujin and other counties was learned only in 25 days respectively.

It is also ironic that the people in these places were originally unable to expect or be loyal to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Every day after dinner, they would criticize the corrupt and corrupt officials of the court and plunder the people's wealth. It is similar to later generations' online criticism. Every day, they would say they would be moist when they were unhappy every day.

As a result, they were ruled by the Qing army for less than ten days. Because the Qing army hastily issued a hair shaving order and killed people and plundered, they couldn't stand it. After comparison, they found that it seemed that the Ming Dynasty was still easy to mess around.

Although the original rule of the Ming Dynasty was indeed trash and almost treated the people as dogs, it was even harder to be dogs in the Qing Dynasty.
