But the final result was that Zheng Sen was stunned and surrounded Ying Tianfu for nearly a month.

Shengsheng waited until the Qing reinforcements from Jiangxi, Xuzhou and other places arrived to encircle the Zheng army...... In the end, more than half of the 100,000 troops were killed and wounded, and they fled in disarray, and since then for seven or eight years, they have been sluggish.

This is not counting, after Li Dingguo's "two famous kings" in the remnants of the Great West, the morale of the righteous troops in the west was great, and countless Ming troops who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty had returned to the right, Li Dingguo had been put into Yongli at this time, and Zheng Sen was a legitimate colleague, but Li Dingguo asked Zheng Sen to jointly send troops several times, but Zheng Sen refused. Li Dingguo even proposed marriage to increase mutual trust, but Zheng Sen also refused.

As a result, Li Dingguo was unable to support himself, and only attacked Huguang, but was defeated.

Since then, there has been no decent situation or opportunity for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that Zheng Sen held the largest anti-Qing resources at that time, but his inaction directly led to the demise of the anti-Qing forces.

Zheng Sen's situation is actually very similar to Shi Kefa of the Hongguang Dynasty.

The million-strong army of the Hongguang Dynasty collapsed quickly without a blow from the Qing army, although there were reasons for the Zhengzhi fainting and the princes of the four towns being deceitful, but Shi Kefazhi's great talent, indecision and inaction were the main reasons.

Shi Kefa and Zheng Sen are the same kind of people, they are loyal ministers, but they are not a good leader, at least a leader without vision.

Thinking about it, this is also reasonable, the Zheng family was born as a pirate, has no strategic foresight, and is complacent in a corner, which greatly limits the pioneering and enterprising spirit of Zheng Sen's forces.

Wu Zheng had such a clear understanding of Zheng Sen, how could he trust Zheng Sen to cooperate with him in the Northern Expedition?

Therefore, Wu Zheng categorically rejected Zheng Sen's joint proposal, not wanting to pin his hopes for the Northern Expedition on Zheng Sen.

Because Wu Zheng has clearly determined in his heart from the intelligence of the south in the past few years and his understanding of Zheng Sen's actions in history, Zheng Sen is a pig teammate. You can shout slogans while drinking, but you must not entrust your life.

And tonight, when he learned from Zhu Yihaikou that Yongli Dynasty and Zheng Sen actually launched such a conspiracy against themselves to dig up their corners, Wu Zheng was undoubtedly angry.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

……。

But Wu Zheng is still hesitating, to change from uniting all the forces that can be united to eliminating a former "friendly army" force, which requires great strategic determination, and even more courage to face the Qianfu pointed out, because Zheng Sen is a courtier of Yongli. Because of the civil war, it will always be unpopular.

Wu Zheng couldn't convince his own people.

Throughout the day, three very different logics emerged.

The two Zhang (Zhang Guowei and Zhang Huangyan) objected, and they resolutely did not agree to take action against "their own people" before the success of the Northern Expedition, even if the other party did it first, but they agreed to control the conflict in the same way, no, to be precise, to control the conflict in one locality and one area in the way of others. Such as...... Assassination of Zheng Sen.

Wu Zheng was very surprised, the two gentleman-like figures, and even more admired the important person who assassinated the other party to warn the other party.

Mo Zhizhi also objected, his reason was not abrupt - no money!

When Wu Zheng's forces are not rich, everything is waiting to be revived, the stall is too big, there is no way, 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day!

But Wu Zheng's forces have never flinched because they have no money. There is the credit of Mo Obsession, but it is not only the credit of Mo Obsession, just like the Yixing Dynasty, even if it is given two or three characters like Mo Obsession, it can't be like Wu Zheng's power, because the mud can't support the wall.

This is not mean, but whenever there is something to be supported in the Yixing Dynasty, Wu Zheng would rather be a powerful minister who is cursed by the world, rather than completely parting ways with the clan.

Xiong Rulin abstained and did not express his position, although he didn't know what he thought in his heart, but his attitude also quite showed that between the favor and the opposition, he was closer to the favor, because at this time, Wu Zheng was in the minority.

Ma Shiying agreed, but his official position has not yet reached the level where he can participate in voting, so he can only watch it, in the words of later generations, to attend.

Wu Zheng has a sense of depression, he doesn't blame Erzhang for opposition, starting a war, it is indeed necessary to be cautious, especially the "internal" war, Wu Zheng has not been able to really get rid of the Ming family, not because the strength to break free is not enough, but there are too many Ming ministers in Wu Zheng's forces.

These people are loyal ministers, there is no doubt about it, such as Erzhang, such as Qian Sule and Huang Daozhou, although they have decided to decouple from the Ming family, but this does not mean that they still have inextricable concerns about the Ming in their hearts, which is the object of allegiance they have fought for for half their lives, or even most of their lives.

How can it be easily cut in two?

Wu Zheng thoroughly experienced Cao Cao's embarrassment, and also realized Cao Cao's helplessness, the Han family could not be supported, but Han Chen was still there!

This is a tear, a tear in the human heart.

There can be good and evil, right and wrong, in people's hearts.

But Masaji only has enemies and me!

Wu Zheng didn't insist anymore, he chose to compromise.

But Wu Zheng's heart is by no means a compromise.

Compromise is to ease the disunity of internal opinions and prevent tears.

Wu Zheng took a roundabout way, and the war could not be waged, so there would be a sudden and inevitable ...... Encounters!

Wu Zheng is not a person who must repay him, but Yongli Dynasty and Zheng Sen did touch Wu Zheng's bottom line.

The harm caused at the moment is indeed not big, but if you don't fight back, who dares to say that the harm will not spread and expand?

Wu Zheng is just a prince, and Yongli is, the emperor!

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

The other party's hand has already reached into his home, Wu Zheng can't bear it, and he doesn't want to bear it!

So, Wu Zheng went to the small gray building.

Ling Song An began to gather all kinds of information about the south.

Wu Zheng is planning, regardless of the matter of the matter, to forcibly move on Nan.

To Wu Zheng's surprise, a battle report that was expected but came at the right time made his "retaliatory action" logical!

……。

Early the next morning, Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin brought good news.

Wang Deren is dead!

More than 800 large and small ships were captured, including 16 gunboats, the largest of which was loaded with 64 new guns, which were almost comparable to the main ships of Zhang Mingzhen's naval division.

Listening to Zhang Mingzhen's review, Wu Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for Wang Deren's defenselessness, or if he didn't expect Wu Zheng to make a sudden move, then the consequences of the two sides fighting with all their might might not be something Wu Zheng could bear.

But this also made Wu Zheng secretly glad that if he hadn't made a quick decision and this matter dragged on, then Wang Deren's growing sailors would form an invisible restrain to Zhoushan and Wusong's sailors.

The ships of the three naval divisions were stationed too close together, and in the event of a conflict, the consequences would be unpredictable.
