"This year has passed, I'm afraid there have been a lot of changes, right?"

Ma Feng knew that there was something in his words, how could Shi Lang not hear it.

"The emperor's body is not what we as slaves should think about. However, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he should live forever. ”

Ma Fengzhi wanted to laugh when he heard it.

This Shi Lang is still quite good at pretending.

What the Son of Heaven is ordered by heaven, and the nonsense of longevity is also said.

Since ancient times, emperors have been short-lived ghosts.

Don't say long live a thousand years old, even not many people have lived past fifty.

Although Shunzhi is young, it is said that his body bones have never been tough, and he is infected with wind and cold every once in a while.

This kind of weak body is okay on weekdays, after all, there are so many people who are waiting for you carefully, and there will be no big problems.

But in the past year, the world has been turned upside down by the Ming army, and Shunzhi has no idea at all?

That's impossible!

Ma Fengzhi felt that it was already a miracle that Emperor Shunzhi was not angry to death.

The reason why he asked these questions was naturally not that he cared about the life and death of Shunzhi, but because he cared about the redistribution of power within the Qing court.

Ma Fengzhi actually had a plan, if there was a change in the court situation, he would immediately join a powerful banner lord and serve as a lackey.

Although Shunzhi has children, he is just a doll.

Since ancient times, the lord Shaoguo has suspected that once Shunzhi dies violently, the result will be chaos.

Surely countless princes will jump out to compete for the throne.

Daming still has a primogeniture inheritance system to be constrained there, so don't think about it too much.

There is no such rule in the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty began in the bitter cold land outside the fortress, believing in strength.

Whoever has to be hard will listen to whomever he wants.

If it weren't for Dolgon's soft-heartedness, the throne would not have fallen to Shunzhi.

Of course, Shunzhi is not the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and the eldest son of Huang Taiji is Haoge.

This also proves that the primogeniture system is useless in the Qing Dynasty.

So once Shunzhi is angry to death, then who will succeed to the throne is an extremely exciting thing.

Ma Fengzhi naturally wanted to have the merit of supporting, so he inquired like this.

However, it seems that Shi Lang is not very clear, so Ma Fengzhi is also interested in not asking anymore.

...

...

"Your Royal Highness, it's not good!"

The soldiers rushed into the garrison and shouted in panic.

Zheng Jing was reading the report, and when he saw this, he frowned and asked, "What happened?" Why is there such a panic. ”

"His Royal Highness, it is General He Bing, General He has sent an urgent report, please pay attention to Nanjing. Shi Lang may not focus on Hangzhou, but will bypass Hangzhou and storm Nanjing. ”

I have to say that He Shouyi is very cautious, which Zheng Chenggong appreciates very much.

However, he felt that it was unlikely that Shi Lang would make a detour to attack Nanjing. Because this is equivalent to going around a long distance, and the supply line will be very long.

Unless there is a possibility, that is, to follow Zheng Chenggong's original path to the Yangtze River.

Zheng Jing thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to believe it than not to believe it.

This kind of thing, once confirmed, is devastating.

If Zheng Jing didn't prepare early, it would be too late to make a temporary decision.

It's not possible to detour by land, just by water.

There is no need to worry about the upstream in the hands of the Ming army, and Zheng Jing only needs to worry about the downstream if he wants to worry.

In other words, as long as Zhenjiang is worry-free, then Nanjing is worry-free.

After thinking about it, Zheng Jing decided to personally lead the troops to Zhenjiang.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Zheng Jing wants to ensure that Nanjing is worry-free before his father returns.

Therefore, it is the safest way to send troops to Zhenjiang to garrison.

"Pass my general order and send 10,000 troops to Zhenjiang!"

There were 15,000 defenders in Nanjing, and Zheng Jing's transfer of 10,000 of them meant that only 5,000 people were left.

This seems to be a bit risky, but after Zheng Jing's analysis before, Shi Lang can only take the Zhenjiang line if he wants to make a detour to attack.

So it's actually safe.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and only by keeping Zhenjiang and Nanjing can we be safe.

...

...

However, it was said that Yu Qi, Wang Ermazi, Li Shishi, Gan Hui and his party returned to Dengzhou by boat.

As soon as they entered the city, they began to discuss how to arm the defenses.

Wang Er Mazi is the most positive.

The First Battle of Jiaozhou impressed him too deeply.

"Big brother, I don't think we can fight hard, we must try to disperse the forces of the Tartars. An army of 100,000 people, like locusts, must be eaten all the food along the way. If we can't consume their forces in advance, it's too hard to fight. ”

Gan Hui nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the advantage of the Tartars is that they are strong in their soldiers. The situation of Jiaozhou City is also a little special, it is too small. The situation in Dengzhou will be much better, but I still don't recommend blindly fighting the Tartars in Dengzhou City. ”

In fact, from the very beginning, Gan Hui felt that he should retreat to Dengzhou.

It's just that Wang Er Mazi has been insisting, and it's hard for him to say anything.

Now that the matter has come to this point, he has to say something, otherwise he will lose Dengzhou even if he repeats the mistakes of the past, and the efforts they made before will be in vain.

"In General Yigan's opinion, how can we consume the Tartars' forces in advance?"

Yu Seventy asked for advice very seriously.

"You can send an army as bait to lure the Tartars into chasing them and luring them into an encirclement to kill them."

Yu Qi nodded and felt that it was feasible.

But who should be the bait?

Yu Qi is not easy to say this, after all, Li Shishi and Gan Hui are guest soldiers and are here to help them.

Yu Qi didn't want them to do this bait.

"The stakes are high, and we have to think about it in the long run."

Yu Qi wanted to say a round word, but Li Shishi preemptively said: "What is there to think about in the long run, I'll be the bait!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all cast respectful glances at Li Shishi.

"General Li Gaoyi!"

Yu Qi exclaimed: "But it is extremely dangerous to fight in the field with the Qing army, General Li looks..."

"It's nothing. It's a big deal that I bring more firearms, and although I can't beat the tartars to the ground, at least there is no problem in getting out. ”

Li Shishi looked very confident, patting his chest and reassuring.

He's certainly not blindly confident.

Because he has the best fire in the world.

The actual combat advantages accumulated from repeated actual battles made Li Shishi very sure that he could retreat after completing the task of luring the Qing army.

"That being the case, Yu will fully cooperate with General Li, and General Li can tell Yu if he needs anything."

"I need broken silver, the more the better."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Li Shi doesn't want guns, cannons, but he wants to break silver, what kind of trouble is this.

"Broken silver?"

"Yes, I have a trick!"

Yu Qi nodded.

Believers do not doubt, suspects do not need.

Since he chose to believe in Li Shishi, Yu Qi naturally had no reason to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay, I will order someone to send the broken silver to General Li as soon as possible."

"I need some gunpowder, the more the better."

Li Shishi already had a preliminary idea in his heart, and now he just needs to perfect it.
