Zhu Youlang entered Baling City surrounded by a group of civil and military personnel.

He is still very satisfied with the performance of the Tiger Benjun.

Compared with the youth of the first war, the Tiger Ben Army is now able to take charge on its own.

Although it is not as elite as Li Dingguo's hundred battles, it can already steadily overwhelm the green battalion of the Qing army.

It is believed that with the continuous enrichment of combat experience, the combat power of the Tiger Ben Army will become stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, there is also a small shareholder who has fled to the inner city and resisted stubbornly. Then the minister sent men to annihilate them. ”

Li Dingguo was very aware of the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Dongyu.

Whether it is a real captive or a traitor in the green camp, as long as there is stubborn resistance, nothing will be left.

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "It's hard to become the king." ”

In fact, since Zhu Youlang came to this world, he has not seen the street battles of this era with his own eyes.

He was still somewhat curious about this.

It's just that street fighting is really dangerous.

There is a saying that it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and he knows that Li Dingguo will definitely persuade him desperately not to put him in danger.

That being the case, Zhu Youlang didn't try.

Anyway, taking Baling City is the most important thing for the Ming army. As long as the city is broken, these Qing soldiers in the city will be a dead end, nothing more than early death and late death.

Zhu Youlang is now looking forward to the situation on Li Laiheng's side, to see if this fierce general can lock up the Qing army's sailors and prevent the Qing soldiers from escaping from Dongting Lake

Nanjing, garrison house.

Zheng Chenggong's injury will be recuperated for a few days, and although he has not fully recovered, he can already get out of bed and walk around.

Of course, this is inseparable from Zheng Jing's careful service. Changing the medicine, boiling the medicine, and feeding the medicine were all done by Zheng Jing in person, and he did not fake it to others.

Zheng Chenggong saw these in his eyes, and he was naturally very pleased and proud to have such a filial and good son.

Calculated carefully, Zheng Jing is already eighteen this year. Zheng Chenggong has always treated him as a child, but in fact, Zheng Jing has reached the age where he should be sharpened.

Zheng Chenggong has already made up his mind at this moment to take Zheng Jing with him in future battles, and personally guide him by word and deed.

Compared with the preaching of Confucianism, Zheng Chenggong believes in this practical way more. He couldn't hope that his son would follow his old path again, and if Chongzhen hadn't been so shaken in his last years, Zheng Chenggong would probably still be working as a prisoner in Nanjing's Guozi Prison. That's not a good thing for someone who is committed to doing great things.

After a long period of stability, the whole person will be tired and lose his enterprising spirit.

Or this kind of day of licking blood from the knife edge can inspire people's fighting spirit.

"Father, Zhang Benbing said that the captives in Yangzhou have been frequently mobilized recently, and it seems that there is going to be a big move."

Zheng Jing took Zheng Chenggong for a walk in the small garden of the garrison mansion, and said in harmony as he walked.

"Yangzhou?"

Zheng Chenggong was still a little surprised.

Although it is an important town along the canal, its military significance has not been too important. At least compared with a gateway like Zhenjiang, the status is much worse.

The reason why he chose to attack Anqing first before was because Anqing's Qing soldiers were stronger and more, and he could only sleep peacefully if he defeated Anqing.

But now it seems that he was indeed negligent in Yangzhou.

"Zhang Benbing, where can you say that Dongyu transferred the soldiers from?"

"I heard that Huai'an Mansion and the eastern generation of Zhejiang have it."

Zheng Jing thought carefully and said: "The generation of eastern Zhejiang doesn't need to think about it, it must be the soldiers and horses of Lang Tingzuo, Guan Xiaozhong, and Shi Lang. As for Huai'an Mansion, the child couldn't guess it for a while. ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded silently.

Don't say that Zheng Jing can't guess, he can't guess it for a while.

It should be said that the Qing court's forces in Jiangnan were mainly concentrated in Nanjing and Hangzhou. There should not be many soldiers and horses in Huai'an and Yangzhou. It seems that there are still some details that he does not understand thoroughly, and he needs to strengthen the collection of intelligence in the future.

"Jing'er, if you are asked to lead the troops, do you think it is better to fight Anqing first, or to fight the provinces in eastern Zhejiang first?"

Somehow, Zheng Chenggong just wanted to ask Zheng Jing's opinion on this matter.

Zheng Jing was shocked when he heard this.

Why did his father ask him this question all of a sudden?

There is a way that the Son does not speak of the Father.

Even if he really felt that his father was a little wrong in handling this matter, he couldn't just say it, right?

If you don't save face for your father, isn't that unfilial?

Seeing Zheng Jing's helpless expression, Zheng Chenggong cleared his throat and said, "What? Don't dare to say? You stinky boy, you don't have to save face for your father. Say what you have to say! ”

Some careful thinking was pierced by Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Jing's face turned red.

"Father, the child doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, your father will forgive you for your innocence."

Zheng Chenggong said it to this point, and it would be a bit hypocritical for Zheng Jing not to say it again.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Back to my father, if the child leads the troops, he should attack Zhedong first." ”

Zheng Chenggong chuckled in his heart, and then asked, "What is the reason?" ”

Zheng Jing took a deep breath and said, "Zhoushan is certainly one thing. After all, eastern Zhejiang is too close to Zhoushan. Especially in Ningbo, it is to cross the sea. But more importantly, Hangzhou is another important stronghold in the southeast. Now that we have taken Nanjing, if we take Hangzhou again, Dongyu's control of Jiangnan will directly collapse. This is what can't be brought by taking Anqing Mansion. ”

He said so much in one breath, and then carefully observed Zheng Chenggong's expression.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was not annoyed and angry, Zheng Jing's hanging heart was put down.

That does make sense. It was my father's negligence. ”

Lang Tingzuo's position was granted by the Qing court as the governor of Liangjiang.

This position can be regarded as second only to Hong Chengchou, and he is a real feudal official.

Lang Tingzuo can mobilize all the troops of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel is also a matter of his words.

Lang Tingzuo lost Nanjing, and he could also use Hangzhou as an alternative place, where he could give orders and dispatch troops.

This is also the fundamental reason for the frequent actions of Huai'an and Yangzhou governments recently.

If Zheng Chenggong had chosen to attack eastern Zhejiang, perhaps the whole situation would have been different.

It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world, and what has happened can no longer be changed.

What Zheng Chenggong can do now is to expand as much as possible while stabilizing his territory.

But now that the Qing soldiers have become vigilant, it is unlikely that they will take Hangzhou quickly and smoothly.

can only take a steady and steady route, slowly figure it out.

However, Zheng Chenggong is still very happy to be able to understand this truth.

This also proves that his son Zheng Jing is indeed very visionary.

In other words, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

In the future, he should still refer to the opinions of others instead of acting arbitrarily.

"Father, there is one thing that children don't know whether to talk about or not."

Zheng Jing saw that Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood, and plucked up his courage to say.

"Say it."

"Father, the child wants to go to Zhenjiang to garrison and share his father's worries!"

Zheng Jing said loudly
