Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, who received the holy decree, quickly set off for Zhoushan Island.

Zheng Chenggong's advantage lies in the naval division, and if he wants to attack Nanjing, he naturally has to give full play to the combat power of the naval division.

The best choice is to go up from the Yangtze River Shuojiang River, which is the route of the Battle of the Yangtze River not long before Zheng Chenggong.

In fact, that failure was still a big blow to Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong once doubted whether he had made the right choice.

But after the adjustment of these days in Shuangyu, his mentality has returned to normal, at least he will no longer feel inferior.

The attack on Yuyao made him realize the essence of the Qing army.

These Qing troops seem to be strong, but in fact they are strong on the outside.

As soon as it hits them, they will collapse at the touch of a button.

Zheng Chenggong decided to try again.

Where you fall, you get up.

Even if you can't get up, at least you can contain the Qing army of the Jiangnan generation and give Your Majesty more space for the Eastern Crusade.

Compared with the last attack on Nanjing, this time the Ming army had Zhoushan as a springboard to avoid the fatigue caused by the long journey.

Zheng Chenggong learned the lesson of the last defeat and settled the soldiers' families on the main island of Zhoushan.

In this way, the soldiers will not be afraid of their families.

The last time Zheng Chenggong was defeated, he underestimated the difficulties and underestimated the enemy.

If Zheng Chenggong had been more cautious at the beginning, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.

However, the situation is not too bad now, at least the main force of the Ming army has not suffered much loss, and it has been replenished to a certain extent.

Zheng Chenggong was full of confidence in this trip to attack Jinling.

On the contrary, Zhang Huangyan was very cautious, and whether it was the raising of grain and grass or the mobilization of soldiers, it was considered from the perspective of long-term operations.

After completing the oath, the Ming army sailors officially set off from Zhoushan Island to Chongming Island

Admiral Ma Fengzhi of Susong has been in a very good mood these days.

At the beginning of the year, Zheng Chenggong led his troops to attack, and Ma Fengzhi, who was guarding Chongming Island at that time, was shocked.

He sent an envoy to Zheng Chenggong's army to express his attitude that as soon as Zheng Chenggong took Nanjing, he would immediately defect and surrender to the Ming army.

Prior to this, Ma Fengzhi would adopt an inactive approach, neither obstructing Zheng Chenggong nor helping.

At that time, Su Song's general soldier Liang Huafeng led the troops and was not on Chongming Island, so he was able to act arbitrarily because Ma Fengzhi could act arbitrarily.

His eyes on people are still very vicious, and Zheng Chenggong also attacked the city all the way, and even took Guazhou, Zhenjiang and other important towns.

But Zheng Chenggong was young in the end, and fell into the delaying tactics of the Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo and the Jiangning Admiral Guan Allegiance, and finally defeated Jinling.

Seeing this, Ma Fengzhi also changed his face greatly, and continued to be a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, leading his troops to intercept Zheng Chenggong's sailors.

But of course, he can't work too hard, just put on a show. Who would have expected that the Qing court would be rewarded for meritorious deeds after the fact, in addition to Lang Tingzuo and Guan Xiaozhong, Ma Fengzhi and Liang Huafeng were also among the rewards.

Picking up a credit for nothing, Ma Fengzhi was naturally very proud.

Sure enough, in troubled times, it is the royal way to hold military power.

As long as you don't go too far, there is room for things to turn around.

In the realm of Su Song, Ma Fengzhi is the emperor of the earth.

Compared to land, Ma Fengzhi prefers to stay on Chongming Island.

Here the emperor is far away and isolated from the outside world, which is more convenient for him to be powerful.

Ma Fengzhi even brought some servants to the island to sing music for him.

Ma Fengzhi was so happy listening to it that he would even dress up and sing with the singers.

Today he just listened to a song about the West Chamber, it was the time to be full of warm thoughts, and he wanted to turn the clouds and rain with the concubine, who expected that the uninteresting general soldier Liang Huafeng asked to see him.

Although Ma Fengzhi was extremely unhappy, he could only let Liang Huafeng in.

"Lord Admiral, something is wrong!"

As soon as Liang Huafeng entered the house, he hurriedly walked up to Ma Fengzhi and hugged his fists and said, "Zheng thief is here again!" ”

Ma Fengzhi was taken aback.

"Zheng thief, Zheng Chenggong?"

"Who else can there be besides Zheng Chenggong."

Liang Huafeng sighed and said: "Sailor warship, look at this battle is no smaller than at the beginning of the year!" ”

Ma Fengzhi gasped.

Didn't Zheng Chenggong stay in Shuangyu Port some time ago, why did he suddenly come to Chongming.

"Didn't Zheng Thief attack Yuyao some time ago, and Admiral Ben also felt that his focus was on the eastern coast of Zhejiang."

Ma Fengzhi's brows were furrowed together, not to mention how gloomy his mood was.

"Who knows. Pirates are pirates, and I think he doesn't change his life and wants to get a big ticket. ”

Liang Huafeng's analysis is the Tao, but Ma Fengzhi is the head of listening.

The last time Zheng Chenggong attacked, Ma Fengzhi played a slippery head, which can be regarded as fooling.

But this time, Zheng Chenggong can't eat this set again.

If Ma Fengzhi can't give Zheng Chenggong a satisfactory answer, the two sides will inevitably meet each other.

What's more, compared with the last time, this time Ma Fengzhi also has the chief soldier Liang Huafeng by his side.

This is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is dedicated to the Qing court.

If Ma Fengzhi showed closeness to Zheng Chenggong, Liang Huafeng would definitely be the first to jump out and object.

It's too hard to do.

Damn, I can't let him have two days of peaceful birthday.

"Lord Admiral, did you tell the soldiers to load the red-clothed cannons and shell the thieves?"

"Wait!"

Ma Fengzhi hurriedly stopped.

"I don't know what the purpose of Zheng Thief's attack this time is, we should always figure it out."

Liang Huafeng was surprised: "What is there to figure out." Zheng thief's plan is nothing more than the city, money, and food. None of them can be left to him. ”

In Liang Huafeng's opinion, it is enough to fight, and it doesn't matter what to do.

Ma Fengzhi couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he was about to suffocate.

In fact, in the final analysis, the positions of the two are different.

Liang Huafeng is the main battle faction, and Ma Fengzhi is the wall-riding faction.

Two people can't pee in a pot at all.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles."

Ma Fengzhi wanted to stabilize Liang Huafeng first, so he preached in a deep voice.

"No matter what you say, you still have to find out what the enemy is really doing. Susong is an important town, and Chongming Island is the gateway to the Yangtze River estuary. If we rashly attack and be used by the thieves and lose Chongming Island, then I am afraid that you and I can't bear the responsibility. ”

Liang Huafeng said in his heart, it turned out that the Admiral was worried about the defeat and responsibility, and wanted to defend it.

This is also human nature.

"Otherwise, the last general will first send someone to find out what the thief is doing before deciding whether to defend or take the initiative."

Liang Huafeng said it to this point, what else can Ma Fengzhi say.

He had no choice but to get off the donkey and say along the way: "In this case, it will be hard for General Liang." ”

In fact, he couldn't wait for Liang Huafeng to go out and fight a battle as soon as possible, and it was best to die at sea.

In this way, Ma Fengzhi can negotiate with Zheng Chenggong.

Otherwise, there is such a flute in the middle, and it is too uncomfortable to advance or retreat.

"The Admiral's words are serious, and the general will do it."

Liang Huafeng hugged his fists and turned to leave
