At night, the sky is full of stars. This is a scene that will never be seen in later generations of China.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the starry sky above his head and thought of his relatives and friends in his previous life, he hadn't remembered his previous life for a while. But tonight he had to remember, because tonight was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen!

I miss my relatives every festive season. There's really nothing wrong with this verse.

Without telephones and networks, in today's classical era when the vast majority of people can't leave their counties in their lives, you can understand the loneliness and sadness of "being alone in a foreign land as a stranger".

But the complete opposite of his sad mood at the moment was the joy of the officers and men in the army.

Whether it is a black soldier, a Japanese dwarf, or a refugee or a homeless person in Denglai, or other soldiers, what is uprooted from home, what is known to be alone, it is not as attractive as a good meal.

Zheng Zhilong, who spilled a lot of silver, how could he forget Chinese New Year's Eve?

In addition to the lack of wine, pigs, sheep and cows, chickens, ducks and geese, big fish and prawns, although they are all slaughtered and dead, they are all dead things, but today they are taken out to reward the army, which also makes the whole army very satisfied.

Not to mention the brave and bald soldiers pulled out by Zheng Zhilong against Zhifu Island, it is the Qingzhou Ming Army under Li Shiyuan, who has not had such a vast Chinese New Year's Eve for many years.

Zheng Zhilong was still very worried about whether the Qing army would take the opportunity to attack, but the fact is that the Qing army outside was honest.

Abatai's strategy from Eshuo has already made a decision to attack Zou County - with the second son Bo and Zhen to lead 5,000 troops to Jining Prefecture, and a large number of money, grain and materials of the Northern Route Army have arrived in Jining City, which is the harvest of the Qing army in Beizhili. Then tens of thousands of people were transferred from Daijiaji, and together with 20,000 troops in their hands, they approached the outside of Zou County.

It takes time to prepare.

Although the Qing army still surrounded Daijiaji, the main direction of the Qing army's attack had changed.

Dai Jiaji's Qing army quietly transferred a large number of troops at night, and the remaining commander of the Qing army, Zhun Ta, held 10,000 soldiers and eight banners in his hands, even if he was not bluffing, he could not let Zheng Zhilong notice that something was wrong.

What's more, the Qing army has always been 'on the offensive'.

Turg used the darkness as a cover to pile up the improved shield cart at the gate of Dai's family, which was very "cumbersome", but it was also very effective.

After pouring buckets of cold water on these shield carts, they were kept the ice sculptures on the second day. The sturdy ones even the Hongyi cannon "gnawed" and could not move.

Especially in Nanying, there is not even a single Hongyi cannon there, and there is no power to stop it. I could only watch the Qing army push the transformed shield cart and easily come to the gate of Nanying. Then the defenders of the southern camp also suffered a lot in the battle of muskets and crossbows.

The Tartar's bow and arrow were fierce and vicious, and the aim was unusually high, either in the middle of the door, or in the neck, or in the chest, so it can be said that as long as they were shot, the mortality rate of musketeers was quite large.

Although they could not break through the camp wall, they could see that it was profitable, and they would not give up this advantage, and they sent some marksmen out every day, and even learned to use grenades to counter Zheng Jun.

In such a contest, the Qing army took the initiative and also had an advantage, and the fault was not that the effect was too slow, but it was really a clever strategy to break the Dai family set.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's side is far from the point of sitting back and relaxing.

Looking at the Tartar camp lit by bonfires outside, the Qing army's cold arrows against cold guns every day, Zheng Zhilong was not afraid. I even think it's good to spend it like this. It's just the beginning of the New Year, and if you want to see the spring flowers bloom, it will be at the end of February and the beginning of March, and the time is still long.

How could so many Qing troops keep surrounding Dai Jiaji? Why did the Tartar army enter the fortress? Isn't it the one who specifically dealt with him Zheng Zhilong?

Burning, killing, and plundering is the purpose of the Tartars.

Zheng Zhilong is conceited that he doesn't have that much weight, so he makes Tartar work so hard.

If the Tartars always "play" like this to spend time with Zheng Jun, it proves that they have given up their plan to eat themselves.

This tartar can't afford to pay for the casualties.

It's the best.

Zheng Zhilong boasted that he was not a natural talent, and things were too complicated, but he would be dizzy.

Tie the hard village, fight in a dumb battle. With the advantages of guns and artillery, the advantages of money and food, the flow of violent soldiers and the war idea of shaving his head are the most suitable for Zheng Zhilong to learn from at present.

Engaging in too many sports wars and playing too many tricks is not suitable for him.

Just like the current war ......, he has learned a lot of lessons.

Although the battle is not over yet, Zheng Zhilong has already begun to reflect. He felt that he was not suitable for this kind of war, or that the initiative outside the customs before was completely in his own war was more suitable for him. As it is now, it is really difficult to play with the Tartars under the condition of insufficient strength.

"Let's go, go to the wounded camp."

Coming down from the wall, Zheng Zhilong came to the wounded camp. It was the home of one of the largest wealthy families in the town, with a hundred and ten houses, large and small, and now all of them were wards for wounded soldiers. Their food is also the best in the whole army.

The sanitary conditions were already very demanding, but Zheng Zhilong could still faintly smell a smell of blood, and there were bursts of moaning. The medics are no longer busy. The wounded soldiers in the day have long been dealt with. Only a group of apprentices were busy, and they had to prepare hot water at all times, clean the wounds and change the dressings of the wounded soldiers, clean the utensils, and arrange the medicines in case of emergency.

There were 100 wounded soldiers treated here, some light and some severe, and several wounded soldiers with minor injuries were sitting in the courtyard, and when they saw Zheng Zhilong coming, they hurriedly stood up and set up, and Zheng Zhilong hurriedly stopped them. The commander of the medical battalion who was trustworthy also rushed over with a military doctor, and Shi Li met Zheng Zhilong.

"How are the soldiers?"

"The rest are okay, even the more than ten people who were seriously injured, I am afraid that they will not be able to save them, the injuries are too serious, and they are powerless to do anything." This battalion officer is a medical officer from Zhifu Island, who is a doctor in the Zheng family's fleet, and he has seen a lot of life and death on the sea. But now he speaks with gloom.

Time passed day by day, and when the Lantern Festival came, the Qing army outside the Dai family set suddenly moved.

On the watchtower, Zheng Zhilong held a monocular and looked at the other side, with a smile on his face - the Qing army was evacuating.

Immediately send troops to destroy the shield car ice sculpture outside the wall, and ask Zhou Yi to lead the men and horses out with him. The commander wants to know the exact actions of the Tartars. ”

Zheng Zhilong gave orders again and again, and then happily went home with the others.

The Tartars can take the initiative to withdraw their troops, no matter what the reason is, it shows that the Tartars really gave up their plans to eat Dai Jiaji.

Does this mean that his own life is absolutely safe?

For a time-traveler who is greedy for life and afraid of death, this is the most wonderful gift.

But what will the next battle look like?

"Let's all talk about it, what do you want to do when this Tartar relieves the siege of the Dai family?" Zheng Zhilong looked at the location of Qingzhou on the map.

There is a map hanging on the wall, and the location of Ziyang Castle is prominently marked, and the cities in all directions are also marked.

On all sides, east and west, north and south, no matter how you look at it, the breakthrough of the Tartars can only go east.

"Marshal, in the opinion of the last general, the Tartars are now either going out of our army, or going east." Li Shiyuan said first.

"Our army has its own horse-probing sentry horse, and if the Tartars want to trick our army out, it will not be so easy. The students are afraid that the Tartars will be ruthless and go to Ziyang, Zouxian, and even Qufu, and if someone is sent for help from there, our army will ......."

Compared with Li Shiyuan, Jiang Zhe undoubtedly considered it more deeply. And as soon as these words came out, everyone present felt uncomfortable except Zheng Zhilong.

It was easy to see the Tartar retreat, and he breathed a sigh of relief, if he "took the initiative" to rescue, he would really have to jump into the fire pit again. But you can't save it, the three places have their own merits, and they can't be ignored.

Only Zheng Zhilong was very sad on his face, but he firmly believed in his heart that the Tartars would not really do anything to the Kong family. As for Ziyang and Zou County, the strength of the defenders is not weak.

"Marshal, our army has been engaged and confronted with the Tartars before and after, and the soldiers have been tired for many months. Can't you save ......" Gan Hui ignored the prince of the Zhu family, the sage of Confucius and Mencius, and opened his mouth to say.

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Li Shiyuan, and then at Jiang Zhe, Tan Si and others, each of them had a bad face, and I don't know if it was because everyone knew that the army would be in danger after leaving Daijiaji, a base that had been operating for a while, or because of Gan Hui's words.

"Ahem. General Gan understands that he loves the soldiers, but he ......, but please be cautious. Tan Si said with some embarrassment. But his embarrassment was the smile in Zheng Zhilong's heart, is this person okay, not pedantic and stubborn.

A group of people really can't think of a good way to do it. Once that happens,......, there's no way, there's no way.

Fight, fight and win; If you don't fight, Zheng Zhilong seems to be unable to afford the crime. There are all the people here, there are civil and martial arts, but if you look at me, I look at you, and I can't see a single flower.

At this moment, when a group of people were at a loss and helpless, suddenly a guard outside hurriedly came to say: "Commander, my lords, I don't accept the Zhou team officer to see me at night!" ”

A group of people were stunned, Zhou Yi came back so soon?

"It's not going to come in yet."

Then everyone saw Zhou Yi with an anxious and shocked face.

"What's going on out there?" Zheng Zhilong asked with a fixed mind.

"Back to Dashuai, Abatai went south. The Tartar army gathered, and a few days ago they had already captured Zou County, and General Yuan and the Meng family did not know whether they were alive or dead. A fire broke out in the city and was badly damaged, and then the Tartar soldiers and horses bypassed Ziyang and went straight to Qufu. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Zou County is broken, ruined, and the Meng family ...... Finished? Tan Si's face immediately turned as white as wax.

"What?" Zheng Zhilong's head was a little dizzy, "What does Hong Chengchou do to eat?" Abatai has a maximum of 30,000 soldiers, and there are so many supplies and grains and grass to escort him, and the soldiers and horses under him Hong Chengchou are all muddy? ”

Zheng Zhilong roared. There was even a sense of betrayal in his heart, Hong Chengchou, a bastard, must have no strength, and he saved his life at the beginning.

"The villain followed the Tartar for several miles, and then scattered all his men, and one of the groups met the messenger from Ziyang." Zhou Yi paused, and said: "However, in the opinion of the villain, the marshal doesn't have to worry too much about General Yuan and the Na Meng family. There were 7,000 soldiers and horses of the small Yuan battalion in Zou County, even if they were defeated, the Tartars were also killed and wounded, and General Yuan could not escape with the Meng family. And the Tartars are so brutal and vicious that if General Yuan and the Meng family had been captured, they would have been hyped up long ago. I haven't heard of his words now, so I haven't caught it. Moreover, although Zou County was seriously damaged, Meng Lin in the north of the city was still safe and sound. ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart was full of wordless chagrin. Why do you believe in Hong Chengchou so much?

Damn, I worked hard to come here to brush up on my reputation and credit, although I must have saved a lot of lives, but the key is myself, don't get into trouble without eating mutton.

Old Master Meng, there are still cards on the bright side, although Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously dissatisfied with his thoughts, seriously disliked him, deleted one-third of the book "Mencius", and the rest was rigidly promulgated throughout the country, but by the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Ming also recognized it.

In the end, it is the sub-sage of Confucianism, and then there is an unspeakable obscurity with the Ming Dynasty, and the Meng family is destroyed, and the impact will also be there. At the same time, the Zou County Warden is Yuan Shizhong, who is 'recommended' by Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong's trouble will not be small.

Zheng Zhilong let out a long sigh.

I thought so much in the blink of an eye. But Zhou Yi's next words were like a "life-saving elixir", telling him to "come back to life".

As long as Meng Wenyu doesn't die, as long as Meng Lin doesn't destroy it, then everything will be easy to do.

"Yes, yes. Team Zhou's words are reasonable, Team Zhou's officials are reasonable......" Tan Si shouted excitedly, as if the whole person had caught a life-saving straw for the person who was about to drown.
