PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Youshui Yichuan", and add this chapter for him.

"Is it to write down his name, in Chang Linwei's roster, so there is a thought ......." Song An said.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "No need...... After his death, he mourned but to comfort his family, but he had no family...... Who will remember his name, his exploits...... Forget it, for himself, where can he not rest in his homeland when he dies? I think that if he has a spirit in heaven, what he hopes most is nothing more than a great victory for our army! ”

Song An nodded and said, "The young master is right...... By the way, Chang Linwei sent a message from Fujian....... ”

Wu Zheng interrupted impatiently: "Good news or bad news? If it's bad news...... Then take it slowly, let me be quiet first. ”

Song An stepped back silently, he understood that Wu Zheng's words were cold, but his heart was agitated because of the changes in Hengyang.

When Song An slowly retreated to the door, Wu Zheng suddenly said, "It seems to be bad news...... Let's talk about it. ”

Song An walked back again and said softly: "Zheng Sen, the king of Yanping County in Yongli, slaughtered thousands of aborigines of the Potbelly Kingdom in the west of the Eastern Domain, and the King of Potbelly intended revenge, so he secretly colluded with the Dutch Red Hair, and wanted to use the power of Waifan to attack the King of Yanping. ”

The Potbelly Kingdom is not actually a kingdom, it is just a primitive community of local natives, among which there are as many as a dozen tribes, with a population of 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Why is it not a real kingdom, because it does not have a country name, and the "Potbelly Kingdom" is actually given to it by Dutch red hair.

Ten years ago, the Dutch occupied the northern part of the Eastern Domain, where Zheng Sen is now.

After the occupation, in order to connect with the south, the Dutch planned to build roads, so that naturally it was inevitable to clash with the local natives, and after several battles, the natives who used primitive weapons naturally could not defeat the Dutch who were equipped with firearms, and after that, the natives were subdued, so they reached an agreement with the Dutch to submit to the Dutch dominance.

Two years later, war broke out again, and the Dutch sent troops to destroy more than a dozen villages, killing thousands of people, and then a priest made another agreement with the warring tribes. Since then, the kingdom of Potbelly has almost always been subject to Dutch rule.

But the natives had their own beliefs, and they did not accept Christianity, and this contradiction broke out again three years later, but the result was not suspenseful, and the Dutch suppressed them by force.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the two sides have been fighting and fighting, but one thing is certain, compared with Zheng Sen, an "outsider", the natives are more willing to accept red hair.

And because Zheng Sen urgently needs to expand his territory and rule, he must expand to the south, otherwise, he can't afford to raise the thousands of people and horses brought from Fujian and Guangdong, so Wu Zheng was not very surprised after hearing this, and he could even say that he understood! It's just that this method is too overbearing.

In Wu Zheng's impression, although Zheng Sen is not broad-minded, he is not a bad person, and he will not do such a bloody thing.

Even if you want to occupy the land of the aborigines, coexist with the aborigines or expel them, you can still get cheap labor, so why kill them?

"Have you verified?"

Song An nodded and said, "It's the news from Chang Lin Wei, who went to Dongfan Island with the young master and stayed behind, and the matter should be true...... However, it is impossible to verify how many people were killed for the time being. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The number of people killed doesn't matter anymore...... This Zheng Sen, don't you know the current situation? He has thousands of troops, if the Dutch red hair joins forces with the local natives...... This matter should not be underestimated, and sent someone to send a letter to the King of Jin, asking him to prepare a partial division, in case there is a change on the island, it is also good to go to sea in time to reinforce Zheng Sen. ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng got up slowly, paced back and forth twice, looked up and said: "Let Yangzhou Mansion allocate silver, build a seven-foot monument at the original site of Hengyang Town, and engrave the names of the victims...... In order to motivate the morale of the people in the surrounding provinces to resist the Qing Dynasty. "Wonderful

"Yes." Song An responded, he sighed in his heart, and sure enough, the young master was still entangled in the changes in Hengyang.

"Since Erhan has promised to go out, then ...... Under the government office, add a garrison position, and let the Yangzhou government appoint Liu Fang, which can be regarded as justified. ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng actually thought about it, similar to Chi Erhan, thinking that Liu Fang was just a local prankster who happened to meet him, and he was old, it was difficult to correct his already formed thoughts, and give him a garrison errand, which should be a reward for his achievements in this battle, but in fact, Wu Zheng had already drawn the garrison out of the Northern Expeditionary Army sequence without revealing the mountain, that is to say, the garrison was only a civilian armed force under the local government.

But even Wu Zheng and Song An didn't know at this time that what died under Liu Fang's hands was a prince of the Qing court, a county king, and even more genuine and real money than the two famous kings of Li Dingguo.

It was precisely because of this incident that the Qing court did not hesitate to spend blood and money to attack Hengyang for thousands of miles, intending to kill Liu Fang and avenge Doni and Rocodor.

And this, but in disguise, made Liu Fang a success, so that overnight, Liu Fang went from a splash to a hero in the limelight.

It's really a hero who doesn't ask where he comes from!

Song An reminded: "Young Master, ...... that Jiang Xuan?" ”

Wu Zheng grinned, "Doesn't this guy seem to be a good person...... But after all, it was an uprising before the battle, and I told Li Guo and Liu Tiren that they should be rewarded how they should be rewarded, and I don't interfere in the personnel of Guangxinwei, but people ...... You have to watch it tightly, don't go to Tartar again in a few days. ”

"Yes."

……。

On this day, a cavalry battle broke out outside Haizhou City.

Since Wu Zheng returned to Shaoxing Mansion for six years, it is the first time that a cavalry duel of this scale has been held.

Of course, this is also because there is no cavalry in the Northern Expeditionary Army sequence.

In the face of the anger of the banner-filled soldiers in the city, Jishiha and Lanbai had to compromise and allow the cavalry to go out of the city to meet the battle.

The two thought about it, thinking about defeat before the battle, thinking that in case the battle was lost, their cavalry could return to the north gate and enter the city, and even if the enemy pursued, they could only follow, as long as the defense on the city wall was properly arranged, with the speed of their own cavalry, they would definitely be able to retreat into the city one step ahead of the enemy cavalry.

Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, at the north gate of Haizhou City, 3,600 Qing cavalry rushed out and divided into two roads outside the city, from the east and west, one to the artillery position of the Wusong battalion, and the other road was ready to meet the wind and thunder cavalry and delay, so as to cover the front road of the surprise attack on the enemy's artillery.

This kind of deployment was originally a last resort by Ji Xiha and Lan Bai, but in fact it was in line with the principle of "surprise" in the art of war.

Whether it was Qian Qiaogong or Lu Zhiyu, they didn't expect the enemy in the city to take the initiative to attack.

This made the artillery position, which was supposed to lag behind, almost close to the wind and thunder cavalry of the former army.

When the enemy cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the city, the Northern Expeditionary Army was taken by surprise, of course, this refers to the Wusong Guard Artillery Regiment in the Lu Zhiyu.
