The situation in Zhejiang is even more complicated than Zheng Chenggong imagined.

After taking Hangzhou, the Ming army marched further south, but met strong resistance from the Qing army.

The Qing generals led by Shi Lang set up ambushes in many mountain docks, causing Zheng Chenggong's troops to suffer some small defeats.

Although the loss of troops was not much, the frustration caused by the resistance was still a little difficult to accept.

Zheng Chenggong found that the topography of Zhejiang is really ever-changing.

West Zhejiang and East Zhejiang are not the same, and South Zhejiang and North Zhejiang are also different.

The part of the border between southern Zhejiang and Fujian is very similar to the hilly and hilly areas in Zheng Chenggong's impression, which also increases the difficulty of the army's march.

Lang Tingzuo and Shi Lang are like bed bugs that can't be killed by a hammer, and the more they are hit, the more they will fight back wildly.

Coupled with the outbreak of the disease in the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong was worried that it would spread to the whole army, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

This is not a joke, if the whole army is really infected with the epidemic, it will be a catastrophe.

After returning to Hangzhou, Zheng Chenggong met He Shouyi and Zhang Huangyan.

In March, the warm breeze in Hangzhou is gusting, and the city is full of greenery and blooming flowers.

Zheng Chenggong's mansion is no exception.

Zheng Chenggong was surprised when he saw the two of them: "What, Brother Cangshui and Brother Shouyi are here?" ”

He Shouyi pretended to have a displeased expression on his face and said, "Why, His Royal Highness King Zhong doesn't welcome me here?" ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled bitterly: "How come." Last time, if it wasn't for Brother Shouyi's helping hand, this king would have been trapped outside Hangzhou. ”

This is true. At the beginning, Zheng Chenggong's lone army pursued the "defeated" Guan Allegiants and fell into the ambush circle set by Lang Tingzuo and Shi Lang.

After fighting for a long time, Zheng Chenggong found it difficult to break through, and he was ready to repay the country with death.

At this time, He Shouyi, who came from Siming Mountain, suddenly killed with his soldiers.

The addition of the new force caught Shi Lang off guard and finally collapsed.

Zheng Chenggong also successfully won Hangzhou and made great contributions.

It is not an exaggeration to say that He Shouyi is Zheng Chenggong's life-saving benefactor.

"Haha, these are the things that the last general should do."

He Shouyi laughed loudly.

Zhang Huangyan coughed and said, "Don't hide it, we came this time to tell Da Mu about a big thing." ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Your Majesty sent someone to Nanjing to inform us that now that Changsha has been recovered, the whole Huguang has planted a bright flag!" ”

"Ahh

Zheng Chenggong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "This is great. ”

He clenched his fists and said, "I said a long time ago that Anqing was going to fight." Now it's okay, Huguang and Nanzhili are separated by Jiangxi. As long as you take Jiangxi, it will all be opened. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "Yes, now it seems that Damu chose to fight Anqing right." ”

"Your Majesty also intends to take Jiangxi, so let us cooperate with the use of troops and strive to take Jiangxi in one fell swoop."

Zhang Huangyan said excitedly.

"It's all back, it's all back!"

Zheng Chenggong's eyes were a little moist.

Once the Ming Dynasty was squeezed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only two provinces remained, and it was almost out of breath.

Now it's finally time for Da Ming to fight back.

Daming's confidence is still there, so there is a chance to make a comeback.

Now is the perfect time to pick up on this!

"After taking Jiangxi, you can march to Liangguang and Fujian."

No one knows better than Zheng Chenggong the importance of controlling coastal cities.

Controlling the right to go to sea is equivalent to controlling sea trade, and there is a steady stream of money in the pocket.

It was too difficult to raise an army just by collecting agricultural taxes and miscellaneous merchant taxes.

Or collect sea tax the fastest.

That's how the Zheng family started.

In comparison, the current Liangguang and Fujian are richer than before, and Zheng Chenggong has long been greedy.

Of course, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and you can't eat a fat person in one bite.

It's better to take Jiangxi first and then consider these things.

"In this way, let Shi Lang live for a few days, and then lead a large army to kill him and take his dog's head when this king and His Majesty take Jiangxi."

There is no doubt that Zheng Chenggong hates Shi Lang very much. But this hatred did not reach the point of getting carried away.

Zheng Chenggong is still able to control his emotions, and excellent self-control is also what a commander of the army needs.

"One more thing..."

Zhang Huangyan hesitated for a moment and said: "King Lu wants to come to Nanjing, but I can't decide this matter alone, so I want to come to Damu to discuss with you." See if you can do it. ”

Zheng Chenggong's face was also gloomy when he heard this.

King Lu was the object of Zhang Huangyan's original support.

Although King Lu does not have the name of God, he is one step away from claiming to be the prison and the emperor.

At that time, the Zheng family supported Emperor Longwu, and there was a lot of trouble with Zhang Huangyan.

However, Yongli later gained the unanimous support of the anti-Qing forces, and the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan eased.

Now it is not an unreasonable request for Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, to go to Nanjing.

After all, I have been adrift at sea for a long time, and I am very eager to step on land.

That feeling of being grounded makes people feel very comfortable and secure.

Nanjing is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is very humane for King Lu to want to go to Nanjing.

But Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan had to consider another level of issues.

That is the opinion of the Son of Heaven on this matter.

Yongli is now the co-lord of the world, what does it mean for a vassal king to take the lead in entering Nanjing before the Son of Heaven entered Nanjing?

What's more, this vassal king has also been a prisoner?

Does this vassal king want to compete for the throne of the Great Treasure? Do Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan want to find another master and seek a meritorious contribution from the dragon?

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate now, the main thing is that people are terrible."

Zheng Chenggong sighed and said: "In case the official is impeached and attacked, then the king and Brother Cangshui will really have a hard time getting along with themselves." ”

"Yes, so I didn't promise His Royal Highness King Lu, I want to ask Damu's opinion. Now it seems that it is better to wait. ”

"Wait, when the Son of Heaven enters Nanjing, His Royal Highness King Lu will enter the city and the officials won't say anything."

"Then I'll send someone to tell King Lu."

"Hmm."

"By the way, His Royal Highness said that he wanted to come to Hangzhou!"

Zhang Huangyan suddenly remembered something and said very excitedly.

"What is he here for?"

Zheng Jing stayed in Zhenjiang well, why did he come to Hangzhou?

"His Royal Highness said that he would be filial."

When Zhang Huangyan said this, Zheng Chenggong's eyes turned red.

There is nothing in this world like flesh and blood.

Blood is thicker than water!

"Let him come."

Zhenjiang has Gan Hui stationed in Zheng Chenggong, which is reassuring.

As for Zheng Jing, it plays more of an inspiring role.

He is the same as he is not there.

"The children have grown up, and the burden on your shoulders can be lifted a little."

Zhang Huangyan said with emotion: "I really hope that the moment when Daming will return to the world will come sooner." At that time, we can make an appointment with friends to enjoy the West Lake together. ”

"Well, we'll be able to wait until that day."
