Chapter 387: Shi Lang's Trick (Third Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
Zheng Jing is not an indecisive person. But it's a really hard thing to decide.
Hangzhou is important, but Nanjing is even more important.
Before leaving, his father specially instructed him that Nanjing must not be missed.
After all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the symbolism is too great.
However, if Zheng Jing did not send troops, relying only on the 5,000 troops in Hangzhou, it would be impossible to withstand Shi Lang's onslaught with his toes.
It's so hard.
Just when Zheng Jing was in a dilemma, his own soldiers reported that He Shouyi, the chief soldier of Siming Mountain, asked to see him.
Zheng Jing was ecstatic for a while.
It's really a drowsy and someone handed me a pillow, it's really good!
He Shouyi saved Zheng Chenggong last time, and he can be said to be kind to the Zheng family. Zheng Jing naturally kept it in mind all the time.
It's just that I can't imagine that it's too late to repay the favor, but now I have to use the other people's literary network again
That's it, after this time, he will personally plan a banquet to thank He Shouyi.
"Come in!"
Zheng Jing tidied up his robe, and then straightened the small crown to ensure that there was no problem with his appearance.
After a while, He Shouyi was brought in.
As soon as he saw Zheng Jing, He Shouyi arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince He Shouyi." ”
Zheng Jing hurriedly smiled and said, "Last time I said goodbye, I haven't seen each other for a long time. Come and show Mr. He the tea. ”
"Mr. He, sit down."
He Shouyi nodded, lifted the hem of his robe and sat down.
"Presumably General He also knows, Shi Lang is a thief and thief, and he learned that the main force of our army went to Jiangxi to help in the war, sent troops to attack Ningbo and Shaoxing, and now he has the idea of Hangzhou."
Zheng Jing sighed and said: "This son of the world is worried, but the situation in Nanjing, General He also knows, until the last resort, these 20,000 people can't move." ”
"That's what I'm here for."
He Shouyi said in a deep voice: "There are still more than 10,000 people in Siming Mountain, and if all the reinforcements are in Hangzhou, they should barely be able to hold on." His Royal Highness King Chung should be back soon, right? ”
Zheng Jing said gratefully: "It's really good to be like this. Father should be back soon, and He Zongbing should be about the same as long as it drags on for half a month. ”
"Shi Lang is fierce and cunning, General He still has to be more careful."
"Don't worry, I will fight steadily and steadily, and I will never fight."
"Your Highness, I still remember something. Ma Feng knew that this person must be on guard. ”
"Ma Fengzhi from Chongming Island?"
Zheng Jing still has some impressions of Ma Fengzhi.
This person was neutral when the Zheng family launched the battle of the Yangtze River, and neither blocked nor supported the Zheng family's sailors.
Now that Nanzhili and Zhejiang are divided into half by the Ming and Qing dynasties, Ma Fengzhi is watching the fire from across the strait and does not express his position at all.
In fact, this attitude made Zheng Jing hairy.
After all, you don't know when this vicious dog will suddenly pounce on you and bite you.
Judging from the current situation, if Ma Fengzhixing's troops attacked, the Ming army would fall into a situation where the enemy was attacked on their backs.
Hey, I just hate that I didn't take the heart to clean him up at that time, leaving such a big hidden danger.
"This person is two-faced, and I'm worried that he will be bad for His Royal Highness."
"This son has written it down."
Zheng Jing nodded and said, "No matter what, I will not transfer the army away from the Nanjing Zhenjiang defense line." ”
...
...
On Chongming Island, Ma Fengzhi played with the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.
It's really good.
Ma Fengzhi has always loved jade, and he has also studied the types of jade.
This white jade bracelet is obviously produced in the Western Regions, and it is a high-quality seed material.
"General Shi gave me this piece of good jade, which makes me feel ashamed."
Sitting next to Ma Fengzhi was none other than Shi Lang.
After suffering several defeats in a row, Shi Lang was scolded by Lang Tingzuo.
Although there is no big loss, it is indeed quite humiliating.
Shi Lang carefully analyzed the reasons, mainly because he believed too much in the infantry combat ability of the army under his command.
This army was built from the ground up for water warfare.
During that time, Shi Lang ate and lived in Longjiang Shipyard, and Shi Lang would ask about a piece of wood as big as a mast and as small as a side chord.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Lang formed a sailor second only to the Zheng family.
Now it seems that there is actually a problem with the direction of the operation.
From the beginning, there should not be frequent land battles, but through the division of sailors.
Of course, there is no regret medicine to buy at this point, but Shi Lang can make the future battle arrangements clear.
The first thing he thought of was Ma Fengzhi.
Since Zheng Chenggong can launch the battle of the Yangtze River and fight all the way to Zhenjiang and Nanjing, why can't Shi Lang?
Didn't he Shi Lang deserve such a big victory?
But if you want to start the battle of the Yangtze River, Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River must be in your own hands, and at the worst, you have to let Ma Fengzhi remain neutral.
But Shi Lang must have rushed to persuade Ma Fengzhi to join him directly. After all, Ma Fengzhi has too much black history, and if he is not allowed to really see each other honestly, Shi Lang will still feel a little empty in his heart.
If you want to buy Ma Fengzhi, just relying on a bracelet is definitely not enough, Shi Lang just uses him as a stepping stone. What really bought Ma Fengzhi was the official position.
Jiangning Admiral Guan was loyal because he died in battle, and his official position was vacant.
Ma Fengzhi's current official position is Admiral Su Song.
Although both are admirals, they are very different.
After all, one is the rich Nanjing, and the other is the barren and remote Chongming Island.
Shi Lang didn't believe that Ma Fengzhi was not moved.
Of course, Nanjing is still in the hands of the Zheng family, and this Jiangning Admiral has the meaning of painting cakes.
But as long as Nanjing is defeated, won't this official position fall on Ma Fengzhi's head as a matter of course?
"Admiral Ma, where is this, beautiful jade with a gentleman. According to Shi, Admiral Ma and this jade pendant are very compatible. ”
Shi Lang said very solemnly, and Ma Fengzhi's face did not change and his heart did not beat.
It's like he's really a decent gentleman.
In fact, he was so obscene that even Liang Huafeng, the general soldier of Su Song, who worked with him, couldn't stand it anymore, and found a reason to "recuperate".
"In that case, so-and-so took it."
Ma Fengzhi squinted his eyes and accepted the jade pendant, which was regarded as a recognition of Shi Lang's sincerity in this trip.
Of course, the negotiation has just begun, and how we can talk about it depends on what Shi Lang will come up with next.
"Admiral Ma should have seen it these days, Zheng Thief transferred troops to Jiangxi, Nanjing generation is empty, if you send troops to attack, you can get it."
In order to convince Ma Fengzhi of this, Shi Lang specially added: "Shi plans to lead his troops to feint and attack Hangzhou to attract Nanjing thieves to come to help." In this way, Nanjing's troops will be even more empty. Shi Mou led his troops to enter from the mouth of the Yangtze River and smashed Nanjing! ”
Now that the Qing army is losing and retreating, it has been suffering defeats, and it really needs a big battle to boost its morale.
Shi Lang is actually gambling, and if he wins the bet, he will completely become the number one military general in the heart of Emperor Shunzhi, and will retain an important position in the next few years.
"General Shi is treating Ma as his own."
Ma Fengzhi said with emotion.
