Hong Chengchou had a long talk with Zhao Liangdong and analyzed various possibilities.

The imperial court must punish Zhao Liangdong, otherwise it will not be enough to calm the anger of the government and the opposition.

Zhao Liangdong's scapegoat was decided from the moment he returned from the fiasco, just to see how much the crime could be reduced.

Hong Chengchou will definitely try his best to protect Zhao Liangdong.

But whether he can keep it or not is not up to him to decide.

Zhao Liangdong was naturally a little disheartened.

However, he also knew that this was not Hong Chengchou's problem, mainly because there was Ao Bai.

Even if Hong Chengchou's recital is written in a daze, Ao Bai can be exposed as long as he presents a letter at the same time.

"You should keep a low profile these days, stay in the house and don't go out."

Hong Chengchou said this, which is tantamount to placing Zhao Liangdong under house arrest in disguise.

Zhao Liangdong also knew that Hong Chengchou was for his good, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I won't make trouble for you anymore." ”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said, "I'm also tired, let's go down." ”

...

...

Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Anlong, was overjoyed when he heard the news of Zhao Liangdong's fiasco.

It's too time for this fire to burn, Hong Chengchou and Ao Bai are restless, right?

The Qing court repeatedly urged Hong Chengchou to attack Sichuan, but this time it was really a fiasco, where is the face of the Qing court? What is the face of the little emperor of Shunzhi?

Wu Sangui wants to see how this farce ends.

At the beginning, Wu Sangui was defeated and returned, and the two cubs Hong Chengchou and Zhao Liangdong were sneering.

Now, when things fall on me, I can't call out.

Now Wu Sangui feels more and more that his decision to Guiyang immediately is very wise.

If you continue to stay in this big dye vat, you may not know how to be yin.

Anlong is a good place, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Old Piff Hong can't control him!

Once it can be said to be an accident, and twice it has to be reflected.

It seems that the Ming army did have two strikes.

In these days in Anlong, Wu Sangui has been thinking about where to go in the future.

Although the Qing court suffered several defeats in succession, after all, the volume was there.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will still be a situation in which the Qing army will continue to encircle and suppress the Ming army in a short period of time.

Therefore, Wu Sangui will not break away from the Qing army in the open in a short period of time.

As long as he was under the banner of the Qing army, Wu Sangui would be able to get a steady stream of supplies from Anlong.

The next step is to wait and see.

What Wu Sangui hopes most is that the world will be in chaos again, and it is best to be chaotic to the extent of Chongzhen's last years.

Only in this way can a careerist like him have a chance to play.

Back then, he kept swinging between the three regimes of the Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties, and made enough profits with a Guanning army and a Shanhaiguan.

How could this have been possible if it weren't for troubled times?

Generally speaking, Wu Sangui's plan is to fish in troubled waters.

Only if the water is mixed enough can he play to his advantage.

How do you strike this balance?

Wu Sangui felt that as long as the Ming army could take any of the provinces of Huguang and Guizhou, it would be regarded as the beginning of chaos.

Of course, it was much more difficult for the Ming army to capture Huguang than it was to capture Guizhou.

But the stakes are just as great.

Huguang is the granary of the world.

If Huguang can be taken, it will no longer be a problem for the Ming army to explode troops in a short time!

At that time, it was time for Wu Sangui to play.

He doesn't mind being a rookie.

The rogue army is good, the rogue army can break through any bottom line, and it can rob and replenish the needs of the army without any scruples.

...

Zhoushan, Shuangyu Port.

The first flotilla returning from Fuso has already entered the port.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the food and firearms unloaded from the ship, and was in a very good mood.

After this experience, the road is considered to be clear.

If there are no accidents, you can get a certain amount of supplies through business Fusang in the future.

In order to gain a foothold in Zhoushan, the Ming army had to be sustainably supplied.

In addition, Zhang Huangyan suggested that a few more strongholds should be established near Siming Mountain to form a corner with Siming Mountain.

In this way, if Siming Mountain is attacked next time, the rest of the places can be supported in time and will not suffer too heavy losses.

After all, Shuangyu is at sea, and sometimes it is too late to react.

Zheng Chenggong is more supportive of this.

It's just that Zhang Huangyan has to worry about the location.

You definitely can't choose a county like Yuyao.

Such a goal is too obvious, and the Qing army will definitely not allow it, and will attack at all costs.

In the case of isolation, even if you take these cities, you will not be able to defend them.

It can only be a mountain like Siming Mountain, which is dangerous to defend and not too obvious.

"Damu, here are a few places I have chosen, you can take a look."

Zhang Huangyan is very familiar with eastern Zhejiang, and has preliminarily drawn up several places for the map.

"This is Shuangniu Peak, this is Woniu Ridge, and this is Hump Ridge."

Zhang Huangyan said eloquently: "They are all first-class and suitable places for building cottages. They are not far from Siming Mountain, and they can help each other. ”

"Brother Cangshui's matter of the soldiers, can you think about it?"

Zheng Chenggong is still very confident in Zhang Huangyan's location, but the matter of this soldier still needs to be discussed carefully.

The garrison of Shuangyu is barely enough, and it is definitely impossible to divide people to station.

There are a lot of soldiers on the island of Zhoushan, but do you really have to transfer them from so far away?

Zhang Huangyan seemed to be able to see what Zheng Chenggong was thinking, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this big tree. There are many people who are willing to join the army. ”

Zheng Chenggong was surprised: "Are the thousands of people you brought back from Yuyao last time?" ”

"Yes and not all."

Zhang Huangyan said proudly: "Yuyao, Shaoxing, Huzhou, Jiaxing." I sent people to lobby in these places, and many people were willing to join the Ming army. ”

Zheng Chenggong said with emotion: "It's still your brother Cangshui's big face. If I lobbied, I was afraid that people would ignore me. ”

Zhang Huangyan was a little embarrassed and said: "Da Mu is serious. I also had the cheekiness to write a few handwritten letters and ordered people to sneak into the city and lobby around. There were also many refusals, but in the end, the effort was not in vain. ”

After a pause, Zhang Huangyan continued: "What I want is to find an opportunity to move these people to the island first, conduct training for a period of time, and then issue them basic blades, and find an opportunity to send them ashore and let them occupy these mountains." ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded in agreement.

He also felt that it was necessary to train the people as necessary.

Otherwise, even if they were given blades, they would not have been able to fight.

Isn't it equivalent to giving in vain in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army?

It's just that for a while the consumption of food on the island will surge.

But it's worth it in the long run.

Only when there are more strongholds like Simingshan can they pose a full threat to the Qing army.

More importantly, it can open up the wisdom of the people and allow more people to join the ranks of the anti-Qing movement.

"Brother Cangshui, just let it go. I will support this to the end! ”
