Chapter 477: A Brilliant Move

However, Zheng Sanhu did not order the withdrawal of troops.

So much has been lost now, and if you withdraw, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

He decided to make a desperate gamble and gather all his forces to attack once.

It's a bit like the psychology of a gambler, the more you lose, the more you want to earn back. fantasizes that you can do a stud, but the reality is often a loss.

Zheng Sanhu is indeed a person with a lot of experience in commanding troops, he understands that the entrance of the water village is narrow, and if you want to give full play to the maximum power of the water master, you must blast the entrance of the water village open.

Therefore, he ordered the object of the shelling to be changed, and all the guns of the Fu ships were aimed at the gate of the water village.

With an order, the artillery roared, and countless lead bullets flew to the gate of Shuizhai Zhai.

Although the hit rate of the Furlong cannon at this distance is not high, it can't stand up to shoot a lot.

Zheng Sanhu gambled all his resources on this battle, only hoping to break through the gate of the village in one fell swoop and kill all the imperial troops in the water village.

But the effect was not as good as he thought.

The gate of the village was blown open, but when the naval warship was advancing, it found that the fortune ship that had been sunk before was just sinking near the gate of the water wall.

And with the draft of the Zheng's sailor large fortune boat, it is impossible to pass through this water.

The scene was very awkward for a while.

Zheng Sanhu finally tried to blow up the gate of the village, but he couldn't enter the water village, and everything he did before seemed so useless.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his heart.

His own soldiers on the boat were panicked.

The main general of the two armies fainted, how can this battle be fought?

At least before Zheng Sanhu wakes up, he will definitely not be able to fight.

As a last resort, the rebels had no choice but to retreat as a matter of long-term consideration.

...

...

Zheng Chenggong did not expect the rebels to retreat.

So much so that he did not seize the best time to pursue.

You must know that although the draft of the large fortune boat cannot pass through the waters near the gate of the water village, small boats such as long boats and fast crabs can.

In other words, the rebels could not get in, but the Denglai Marines were able to pursue them.

But he missed the best opportunity, and Zheng Chenggong had to give up the pursuit.

The battle situation was so stalemate, which was really unexpected by Zheng Chenggong.

He found that Zheng Sanhu was much more difficult than the last battle of Jiushan Island.

And the strength of the Zheng family's sailor naturally needs not be said. Even if the Denglai Sailor occupies the right time, place and people, he only fought with him for a while.

Zheng Chenggong was carrying on his shoulders the rise and fall of the entire Denglai Water Division, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly.

You must know that Zheng's sailors are the best at gang jumping and counterattacking in adversity. If you take it lightly, it is likely that it will be the court that suffers.

So Zheng Chenggong decided to think long-term.

And he also has some attention in terms of the big battle situation.

General Huang Degong Huang seems to have achieved an all-round advantage, while his father has been in a situation of passive beating.

This is a good thing, but Zheng Chenggong's mood is very heavy.

He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like for his father to be defeated and captured and escorted to the capital. He couldn't imagine what it would be like when father and son met again.

Killing relatives in righteousness is easier said than done.

Anyway, that person is also the father who gave birth to him and raised him.

On the other side is the imperial court, the monarch's father, and the righteousness.

The most painful thing in the world is to choose between them.

The only thing Zheng Chenggong is glad about is that he did not directly confront his father.

Huang Degong and General Huang did the work for him.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to imagine...

...

...

Nanjing Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace East Warm Pavilion.

Zhu Cihong looked at several war reports from Jiangxi and looked at the map at the same time.

From the very beginning, he paid great attention to the Battle of Kiangsi.

First, this is a good opportunity to cut off the forces of Zheng Zhilong and King Gui in one fell swoop. Second, it can also allow the new army recruited by Yuan Jixian to hone their skills.

After all, veterans are made by fighting, not by training.

Only a soldier who has seen blood is a real soldier.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

If this henchman is not solved, Zhu Cihong will not dare to let go of the Northern Expedition.

Judging from the current war situation, the imperial army has the advantage on all fronts. Whether it was King Gui's rebels or Zheng Zhilong's sailors, they were all beaten and had the strength to parry.

Of course, there are reasons why the soldiers of the three armies used their lives, but also because King Gui and Zheng Zhilong went against the sky and lost people's hearts.

Zhu Cihong heard that there had been a mutiny in King Gui's army, and King Gui ordered him to be severely suppressed, and all the mutinous soldiers were executed, and their heads were transported back to Guangzhou to be hung in the city for public display.

I really don't know how King Gui did such a disheartening move.

As for Zheng Zhilong, it is not much better. From the moment he openly raised troops, there were more and more people within the Zheng family who opposed him.

Although Zheng Zhilong imprisoned these people. But there were still people who managed to escape.

According to the secret whistle report of the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory in Ningbo, Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother Zheng Hongkui is now hiding in the Ningbo Water Village.

This Zheng Hongkui is also a figure, and his status in the Zheng family is second only to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong was able to force Zheng Hongkui away, which is enough to prove the depth of contradictions within the Zheng family.

At the moment, although Zheng Zhilong can't be said to be a betrayal of relatives, it is not much better.

And the imperial court naturally occupies the absolute righteousness.

What Zhu Cihong has done since he ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne has been seen by all the subjects of the world.

It may be a bit too much for such an emperor to say that he is comparable to Yao Shun, but it is absolutely no problem to say that he is the master of Zhongxing.

And what about King Gui and Zheng Zhilong? What did they do for the Ming Dynasty? Why are they arguing with Zhu Cihong? Who gave them courage?

Zhu Cihong's eyes fell on the location of Guangzhou.

There is no doubt that the location of King Gui's lair is the next step for the Ming army to capture.

Taking this place can not only greatly destroy the morale of the rebels, but also allow the Ming army to complete the siege of Zheng Zhilong.

Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang. At least from the land, Zheng Zhilong has been completely surrounded.

He had no choice but to flee by the sea.

Zhu Cihong's ambition is naturally not just to drive Zheng Zhilong to the sea. But it's a crucial step.

Today, most of Taiwan is still in the hands of the Dutch.

If Zheng Zhilong is forced to leave Fujian, then it is very likely that they will compete with the Dutch for territory in order to gain a foothold.

This is of course what Zhu Cihong is willing to see.

With the strength of the current sailors of the imperial court, it is not enough to defeat the Dutch.

But Zheng's sailors can.

If he can recover Taiwan by the hand of Zheng Zhilong, it is indeed a good choice for Daming.

Da Ming could take advantage of the opportunity of Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch to join the Northern Expedition, and then turn around and fight Zheng Zhilong after restoring the Central Plains homeland.

At that time, the strength of the imperial court's sailors is bound to be even stronger, and it is easy to defeat Zheng Zhilong, who is in a remote corner.

This is the direction that Zhu Cihong hopes for the development of the situation the most. As for whether it will really develop in this direction, it is not certain.
