Nearly a month has passed, Zheng Zhilong has not had close contacts with the local officials and gentry in Denglai, and he has not put on the appearance of a corporal of Lixian to wander around in Denglai; Second, I didn't send someone to Beijing to do some inside and outside, so that I could dredge my joints. And just like painting the land as a cage, except for a trip to Dengzhou, people stayed on Zhifu Island.

He didn't bother to talk to those gentry, it was completely unnecessary.

When his 'wolf ambitions' are exposed, these people are his enemies.

Zheng Zhilong's moves, Zeng Ying saw it in his eyes, and Emperor Chongzhen also saw it in his eyes.

"......" was speechless for a while, and Chongzhen held the piece sent by Denglai's fast horse.

But he also completely let go of his vigilance against Zheng Zhilong.

Because in the context of today's times, how can anyone who really cares about the world turn a blind eye to the gentry and officials? Don't you see that even Zuo Liangyu is related to the Donglin Party, and I am always entangled?

Whether it is Zeng Ying or Emperor Chongzhen, no one will treat Zheng Zhilong as a second stunned person who doesn't understand fart. The only explanation can only be that people are loyal ministers and have no intention of chasing deer.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know that he was too lazy to be false and polite with the Denglai gentry, and he was interpreted like this. I can only say that it was a beautiful misunderstanding.

After March 12, the ice melted in the North Sea, and the Zheng family fleet on Zhifu Island immediately set sail, joined Shen Tingyang's department, and entered the sea with pieces of white sails.

While hurrying away, Zheng Zhilong still muttered, the situation of the Songjin War was really messed up by Zheng Sen.

Because he remembered that in the battle of Songjin in the official history, Hong Chengchou was captured at the end of February.

Because the food in the city was exhausted, and the Qing army outside was besieged, there was no possibility for the army to come to the rescue. If so, there are those who are not determined to make two or five boys and sell the entire Songshan City.

In addition to his own family, a cadre of civil and military officials in Songshan City, Hong Chengchou and an ancestor Dale did not die, and the rest of the Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Qiu Minyang, and thousands of loyal officers and soldiers were all executed by Huang Taiji.

Zheng Zhilong saw that he had already led the army to Denglai, but he had been doubting whether Hong Chengchou could wait until he arrived. And if Hong Chengchou still repeats the mistakes of history, it will be no loss to him. On the contrary, I can let go of this matter and go into battle more easily.

Juehua Island, which he fancies, is a good stronghold, if he takes root there, even if Wu Sangui takes the old road in history in the future, with this island, it can be stuck in the neck of the Manchu Qing and make Dolgon unbearable to death.

As long as you spend your strength to build a few fortresses on the island, see if the Manchu Qing can attack Juehua Island in winter?

It can even become Zheng Jun's new army training ground!

But Zheng Zhilong waited on Zhifu Island until mid-March, and there was no news of Songshan's breach outside the customs.

This made him muttered a little in his heart, Hong Chengchou, a big traitor, can he still be a good person in this life?

During the Mengyuan period, the sea transport was divided into spring and autumn, which is really not unreasonable. Going up the wind, it only took five days for Zheng Zhilong to see Shanhaiguan.

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

The sound of war drums came out from afar, and on the shore of Shanhaiguan, Qiu Minyang personally came to greet him, and Ma Ke and Bai Guangen also followed. However, Fan Zhiwan sat firmly in Shanhaiguan and was reluctant to move.

In later generations, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen's names were not very loud, and many people were classified as mediocre generals after looking at them.

But at this time, Bai Guangen is okay, but Ma Ke is a good general who is recommended by everyone, and he is known for daring to fight, second only to Cao Bianjiao.

"Last year, the Songjin War, the name of the noble son spread the nine sides, and he was a young hero. When I saw Zheng Gong today, I knew what a tiger father and no dog son were. ”

Qiu Minyang was born in a courtesy person, and he was able to rise from a person to the current governor of Liaodong, but he was not comparable to a dustless Confucian. He knew very well what the meaning of the Zheng group's military force now represented, what it meant for the situation outside the customs and for the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Zheng Zhilong is willing, with the strength of the Zheng Group, it is easy to rebuild Jiangdong Town at sea. Although the situation outside the border and the strength of the Tartars are very different from those of thirteen years ago.

But Zheng Zhilong's strength is not comparable to Mao Wenlong's original? The Zheng Group, which has been able to raise its own army for more than ten years, has hundreds of large and small warships under its command, and has more than 3,000 ships, it is very important if it really wants to serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly.

The sedan chair carried people, Zheng Zhilong seemed to be modest, but in fact he unceremoniously accepted Qiu Minyang's praise. Zhongcheng praised it. Children still need to be trained. No, after a trip to the border, I saw the battle, and I knew the benefits and disadvantages of the soldiers, so I grew a lot. I also know the truth of misleading the country by talking about the country and rejuvenating the country by hard work. ”

As soon as Zheng Zhilong's eight words came out, Qiu Minyang immediately thought so.

Later, he and Ma Bai exchanged salutes. Ma Ke and Bai Guangen were respectful when they faced Zheng Zhilong, as if they were seeing the old minister, not a chief military officer who was nominally at the same level as them.

This shows that neither of them is stupid.

"From the old slave to the present, it has been more than 20 years since the construction of the prisoners. The sharpness of its minions caused the war to be in China. There are millions of bones in the land of Liaodong, and the souls of the north are all over the country. He led the beasts to eat people, fierce and brutal, slaughtering cities at every turn, and the evil deeds are too numerous to write.

Kill my Chinese nobles, invade my fertile land in China, this sea of blood is deeply hateful, and it is difficult to wash away the hatred at this moment after pouring all the water of the three rivers. Although Zheng is a Fujian, he has the determination to fight to the death with Jianyu. The righteousness of this world is also. ”

Fan Zhiwan held a meeting to discuss the strategy of entering Songjin, no matter what he thought in his heart, horizontally and vertically, this shelf should be put out. Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen would not be willing.

Zheng Zhilong did not know anything about the geography of the Western Liaoning Corridor, and remained silent after giving a speech. only listened with his ears, and he didn't care about some floods and dangers, he only knew that Huang Taiji's main force was still in Songjin. Because in today's era, it is really difficult to cooperate between the navy and the army.

The range of artillery was too short to cover land at all.

Fan Zhiwan just thinned his mouth today, and what he said was some.

Because, even if it is close to the coastline to provide land support, it is also the flat sand boats under Shen Tingyang that can be used. The sand boat is not afraid of running aground. Zheng Zhilong's bird boat and blacktail boat have a deep draft, and it will be a big trouble if they run aground.

Zheng Zhilong had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter how fanciful Fan Zhiwan said, except for expressing his attitude, he would only obey orders.

Ma Ke and Bai Guangen are also similar to him.

In this battle array, did the Ming army listen to their command?

Fan Zhiwan still dares to follow them straight into Songshan? Isn't he Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting? It's not Zheng Zhilong!

After the previous fiasco, to be honest, whether it is the two of them, or Wu Sangui, Li Fuming, and Tang Tong, they actually have no hope for the siege of Songjin.

The current war is more about making a show. It is best that they can attract the attention of the main force of the Qing army on the southern front, and then Zheng Zhilong leads the sailors directly into Songshan City, whether it is to transport grain into Songshan City, or to respond to the withdrawal of Hong Chengchou and others, it is the result of the top!

As for Emperor Chongzhen's idea of the siege of Songjin, it is purely wishful thinking.
