After Zheng Chenggong received the holy decree, he immediately discussed with Zhang Huangyan about reinforcing Shandong.

The Son of Heaven ordered him to send at least 5,000 reinforcements to show the court's love for the people.

In Zheng Chenggong's view, if you want to reinforce Shandong, it is most suitable to take the waterway.

"Brother Cangshui, now Xuzhou and other places are still in the hands of the Tartars, and if we attack it, it will be too much consumption. And it's going to attack Jiangxi soon, and I can't distinguish too many people in this area. It's better to send someone directly to Dengzhou by boat. Anyway, Denglai is all coastal, and the sailor also has a port and wharf to dock. ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded when he heard this.

"That's what I mean. It's just Damu, who do you think is the most suitable person to go to Shandong? ”

Today's Yu Qi is a good propaganda point, just like Jiang Yang and Jin Shenghuan back then.

If it is used well, it may be possible to let the Manchu rule rise up, even if it can't shake their rule, it can also make it lose a layer of skin.

"This king wants Gan Hui to lead the troops."

Zheng Chenggong said without hesitation.

"In the first battle of Zhoushan, Gan Hui carried too many things. He had been blaming himself for it, even though it wasn't because of him. So this king wants to give him a chance to prove himself. ”

Zhang Huangyan bowed slightly.

"General Gan is brave and invincible, and he will definitely be able to complete this task."

At this time, Zheng Jing, who had been serving by Zheng Chenggong's side, suddenly said: "Father, the child is willing to go with General Gan." ”

Zheng Chenggong didn't expect Zheng Jing to take the initiative to ask for his life, and he was taken aback.

"What kind of fuss are you making up for this kind of thing."

"Father, General Gan can go, why can't the child? It's all about doing things for Daming, do you have to divide the high and low? ”

There was no one else in this room except Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, and Zheng Jing did not hide it.

"In the days I spent with General Gan, I learned a lot. Now, if Shandong can open up the situation, it will be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty's recovery plan. Children can't just sit in Nanjing and do nothing! ”

Zheng Jing said very sincerely, and Zheng Chenggong was also very moved when he heard it.

In fact, he has always attached great importance to the cultivation of successors, and Zheng Jing should go out to experience and experience now that he is older. How could he grow up with Zheng Jing in captivity all the time?

Zheng Chenggong is not worried about Zheng Jing befriending the general.

Because Gan Hui and these generals were personally brought out by Zheng Chenggong, he has full confidence.

Zheng Chenggong hopes that Zheng Jing can win over and cultivate some of his own henchmen.

In this way, Zheng Jing will take over his mantle in the future, and he will be able to quickly stabilize the situation and avoid chaos.

"Jing'er, have you thought clearly? Leading troops to Shandong is not as simple as defending the city in Zhenjiang, and the situation may be very dangerous. ”

Zheng Jing had already made up his mind, and at this moment he patted his chest and promised: "Father, rest assured, the child will definitely take care of himself." With the assistance of General Gan, the child will not disappoint his father. ”

Zheng Chenggong patted Zheng Jing's somewhat immature shoulder and praised: "Good boy." ”

Zhang Huangyan was also very pleased.

I remember that when he first met Zheng Jing, this child was still a little timid.

But after more than a year of tempering, Zheng Jing is now able to take the initiative to fight.

Although it is not yet to the point where it can be on its own, the speed of growth is really gratifying.

At this rate, Zheng Jing will be able to become a pillar of the country like his father Zheng Chenggong sooner or later.

"Shizi, the old man has something to tell you."

"Shibo, please speak."

Zheng Jing turned to Zhang Huangyan with a very respectful attitude.

"The situation in Shandong is still unclear. But no matter what, the prince must protect himself. If the situation is not good, you can retreat in time. Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. ”

The reason why Zhang Huangyan said this was because he was worried that Zheng Jing was too young and didn't know how to be flexible. 139 Chinese

On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly.

Even the most experienced generals have their time to lose.

It is not an unseemly matter to make timely adjustments according to the situation and preserve strength.

Zhang Huangyan had an intuition that the Qing court would definitely encircle and suppress Qi, even if the Son of Heaven and Zheng Chenggong sent reinforcements to help, the Ming army would still suffer in terms of absolute strength.

In this case, if you can go against the trend and completely control Shandong, it is naturally the best, but if you can't fight it, it is also a choice to save the vital force.

Zheng Jing has always admired Zhang Huangyan very much, not only because Zhang Huangyan spoke for him, but also because Zhang Huangyan was dedicated to the country.

He arched his hand at Zhang Huangyan and said, "Shibo, don't worry, I will not act recklessly." ”

"That's fine."

Zhang Huangyan nodded with satisfaction, looking at Zheng Jing as if he were his own son.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Jing and was also very proud, his son has finally grown up, and he can share his worries.

Although he couldn't help but worry a little about Zheng Jing, Zheng Chenggong still wanted to see his son grow up.

"Father will personally see you off!"

...

...

As soon as the matter was ready, Zheng Jing led more than 20 large ships to the north.

Each fortune ship can seat two or three hundred people, don't look at the total of less than 10,000 people, but this is indeed the elite of the elite of the Ming army.

There is no father in the world who does not love his son.

Zheng Chenggong is the same.

He personally selected the sharpest and most powerful ships, and the sailors led by Zheng Jing could be described as strong ships and guns, even the sailors that Shi Lang had formed now could not match.

Since Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou were now in the hands of the Manchus, Zheng Jing ordered to stay as far away from the coastline as possible to avoid too many battles with the Manchu army.

The purpose of their trip was to aid the rebels, not to fight with the Manchu army in Nanzhili.

It's important to prioritize. When the Ming army gained a firm foothold in Shandong, it could join forces with the army in Nanjing to besiege Yangzhou and Huai'an at any time.

It will be easier to take this place then.

Due to the distance to sea, the fleet encountered few ships along the way, not even merchant ships.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea.

For the average person, this is a bit lonely.

Zheng Jing is the son of Hai, so he naturally has no discomfort about this.

Gan Hui's mood was also very excited.

He waited for a long time, and finally waited for this opportunity to lead the troops into battle.

His Highness still trusts him.

More importantly, His Royal Highness the Prince is also in the army that reinforces Shandong this time. In this way, the morale of the whole army can be greatly boosted, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be stronger.

In the past, Gan Hui didn't go much to the north, and when he went to Zhoushan, he was the northernmost one.

This time, it gave him a chance.

He found that the northern sea was very different from the southern sea, and the biggest difference was that the northern sea was more ferocious, and the huge waves crashed against the crew who splashed on the deck.

Even Gan Hui, who had lived on the ship all his life, felt a little dizzy, let alone Zheng Jing.

It should be no problem to look at the direction of the wind, just hope that there is no storm.
