Zheng Zhilong, who had no intention of confronting the Qing court at all, had already secretly made a surrender agreement with the Qing court.

Wherever the Qing army went, the Zheng family troops stationed at various key points all retreated.

As a result, the door of Fujian was opened, and in these months, the Ming army of the Longwu Dynasty almost did not fight a decent battle with the Qing army, and the Qing army went straight into Fujian like a tour of the mountains and rivers, and Jianning, the capital of the Longwu Dynasty, was easily exposed to the Qing army.

Under the arrangement of the Zheng brothers, Zhu Yujian led his ministers to retreat to Fuzhou, and survived.

However, the Qing army's entry into Fujian in two ways indicates the irreversibility of the situation, not to mention that the Zheng brothers secretly colluded with the Qing army, and the defeat of the Longwu Dynasty was doomed.

Above the court, people's hearts are scattered, everyone is looking for a way back for themselves, and few people are giving advice to Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian, who did not have Huang Daozhou by his side, was so anxious at this time that he was busy making another faint move.

Ignoring Zheng's obstruction, he insisted on taking the thousands of Ming troops who had withdrawn from the original "Imperial Expedition" from Fuzhou to Yanping, preparing to venture to Hunan.

But how could the Zheng brothers do what he wanted, and they had already sent someone to inform Duoduo of the situation.

The day after Zhu Yujian left Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilong ordered a change of flag and officially surrendered to the Qing court.

As a result, it means that the entire territory of Fujian has fallen into the hands of the Qing army.

The people of the time sighed about this, "The death of Fujing died because of Zheng Zhilong's payment." ”

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong openly broke with his father and resolutely led his troops south to get out of the sphere of influence of the Qing army.

……。

Set sail from Hangzhou Bay to Fuzhou Port Channel.

Along the coastline, hundreds of ships compete for the current, and thousands of warships sail.

Judging from the flag, it is the Daming Dragon Banner that Zhoushan Shui Shi is accustomed to.

The Zhoushan Water Division was subordinate to the Longwu Dynasty and borrowed its name to reinforce, which was a way that Wu Zheng came up with.

After all, there was an armistice agreement with the Qing court, and Wu Zheng didn't want to destroy it.

It is not that they want to be "friendly" with the Qing court for a long time, but the situation is pressing, the Northern Expedition has exhausted most of the Mo family's financial resources, and the imperial court is simply unable to support another large-scale war in the short term.

Facing an enemy whose strength was several times or even dozens of times that of his own, Wu Zheng could only choose to lie down and taste his courage.

Wu Zheng led a small army, cavalry, infantry and sailors, a total of only 8,000 people.

There is no way, at this time, there are only a handful of "giant ships", and the load is only 800 stone (referring to the warship, the load of the merchant ship is far more than that).

Not being able to load more, coupled with the fact that there were too many people, would also cause alarm in the Qing court.

More importantly, Wu Zheng's strategic concept was not to revitalize the Longwu Dynasty, which was impossible, and if he did, he would inevitably face the Zheng Zhilong brothers directly, which was even more inconsistent with the interests of the Qingtai Dynasty and himself.

Wu Zheng just wanted to let the Longwu Dynasty exist, and contain Duoduo for himself, even if it was for another year and a half, so that he could have time to train the army and straighten out internal affairs.

At this time, the zodiac week has calmed down a lot.

Wu Zheng kept his faith and led the reinforcements south, which made him feel relieved.

It's just that he thinks that the number of people is too small.

What can 8,000 people do?

In the face of nearly 200,000 enemy troops on both sides, these 8,000 people may not be enough.

In the past two days, Huang Daozhou has been annoyed by Wu Zheng for no less than ten trips.

Of course, Wu Zheng couldn't tell him that he had no intention of supporting the Longwu Dynasty at all, so he could only explain: "There are not enough warships to carry more troops, and the Qingtai Dynasty is facing the threat of the Qing army in Jiangbei and Shaoxing Mansion, so it can't send more warships south." ”

Such an explanation naturally can't deceive Huang Daozhou, but Huang Daozhou also understands that the strength of the Qingtai Dynasty is not an opponent who has to kill each other, and he risks being attacked and transposed, and Huang Daozhou believes that Emperor Longwu and himself will do the same as Wu Zheng.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that Huang Daozhou is sad in his heart, and at this time, the clan can't be twisted into a rope, Da Ming...... How can you not die?!

"Zhen Guogong, please change the landing location."

Looking at this stubborn old man, Wu Zheng was a little annoyed with him, in the past two days, he stuck to himself like gummy, constantly giving advice, but Wu Zheng knew that in history, this old man was bewitched by the students who had surrendered to the Qing court, and buried tens of thousands of troops in Wuyuan, and even he himself was captured by the Qing army, and then killed.

This was also one of the main reasons for the rapid demise of the Longwu Dynasty.

If it weren't for the appearance of Wu Zheng, Huang Daozhou went to Ying Tianfu to ask for help, and now at this time, Huang Daozhou would have stayed in the prison of the Qing army and waited for death.

Therefore, Wu Zheng is very disgusted with such a person who is not familiar with military affairs, who comes to dictate his combat strategy, and leaves professional things to professional people to do.

Wu Zheng himself rarely participated in the specific operations of the naval division, and only indicated strategic objectives, how could he let Huang Daozhou participate in commanding tactics?

"Lord Huang, you should stay in the cabin and wait for news." Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Come on, escort Lord Huang back to the cabin." ”

"Zhenguo Gong...... Zhenguoren, you listen to me finish speaking. "Huang Daozhou struggled desperately," the old man said. ”

Wu Zheng always respects this old man, and Wu Zheng maintains a respect for everyone who adheres to the idea of resisting the Qing Dynasty to the end.

Sighing, Wu Zheng waved his hand to rebuke the guards, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Huang Daozhou gasped and said: "The old man went north to Yingtianfu so far, it has lasted more than a month, when the old man left Jianning, His Majesty was swearing to fight in person, but when the old man did not arrive at Yingtianfu, he heard that His Majesty had withdrawn to Jianning. And the latest battle report, the Qing army Li Chengdong has captured Jianyang. Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou looked left and right, ran to the map on the case, pointed to the map and said: "Jianyang is close to Jianning, from the latest news, now that the Zheng family has descended to the Qing Dynasty, if Your Majesty does not escape from Jianning, then he will be captured by the Qing army, if so, even if Zhenguo Gong goes to Quanzhou and Siming Prefecture to land, he will not be able to rescue my emperor." Then we can only think that His Majesty has a choice to escape from Jianning, so that only by changing the landing location can we rescue His Majesty in time. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou exchanged tears, and knelt down to Wu Zheng, "Although the life experience of Zhenguo Gong is doubtful, Zhenguo Gong also recognizes himself as a Ming family, and he is also a clan, so he should watch and help each other......!" ”

Wu Zheng was a little moved, when he heard that Jianyang had fallen and Zheng Zhilong had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Zheng already knew in his heart that this trip was meaningless.

Without the support of the Zheng family, Zhu Yujian is nothing.

If you want to achieve the goal of the Longwu Dynasty to contain Duoduo for yourself, it is no longer possible, then this trip is useless.

Wu Zheng wanted to withdraw to Hangzhou at that time.

But firstly, Huang Daozhou's bitter pleading, and secondly, he also heard Zheng Chenggong break with his father and go south.

This made Wu Zheng have a glimmer of hope in his heart, for Zheng Chenggong's deeds of resisting the Qing Dynasty, it has been confirmed by history, so if Zhu Yujian can be rescued and Zhu Yujian is handed over to Zheng Chenggong safely, the fall of the Longwu Dynasty can be avoided.
