Liu Liangzuo's face was a little solemn.

According to his original plan, after taking Jining Prefecture, he went north along the canal and went straight to Linqing.

But now, not only has Jining Prefecture not been able to take it, but it has lost a lot of troops. It's really a loss of rice to steal chickens, and it pays off the wife and the soldiers.

But since the rebellion was launched, there was no turning back, so I could only go on hard.

After a battle with the Yongwu battalion of the Shence Army, Liu Liangzuo found that the strength of this new army that had just been trained by the imperial court was far stronger than he imagined.

Linqing is far more important than Jining Prefecture, and the number of officers and troops stationed there will only be more than Jining Prefecture.

At this time, it is unwise to rush north, no matter how you look at it.

If you don't continue to go in the direction of Linqing, you can't stay where you are. It is likely that the army pursued by the imperial court is already on the way, and to continue to stay here is to wait for death.

There was a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier behind him, and Liu Liangzuo couldn't think of a good way for a while.

"Otherwise, let's just turn around and kill Denglai."

Liu Zeqing's eyes sharpened, and he said loudly.

"Denglai?"

Liu Liangzuo was stunned.

"Since the land route can't be reached, let's take the sea route!"

After all, Liu Zeqing has been the chief soldier of Shandong, and he knows the overall situation in Shandong very well.

"Now in order to prevent the Qing army from going south, the imperial court will definitely deploy heavy troops in the Texas generation. In comparison, the forces in the direction of Denglai will definitely be weak. ”

Liu Zeqing paused for a moment and continued: "Didn't Kong Youde and the others descend to the sea in Dengzhou back then. Now we just need to go to Tianjin, and the journey is closer. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

After Liu Zeqing's analysis, Liu Liangzuo also felt that it was a very good choice to go to Dengzhou and take the sea route to Jinmen.

The imperial court would not have calculated that they would suddenly turn around and go east.

But not long after he was excited, he frowned and said, "Are there so many ships in Kedeng Prefecture now?" ”

30,000 is not a small number, and it would take a thousand ships to load all these people into a ship. If it is placed in the Apocalypse year, when the Denglai Water Division was just established, this is certainly not a problem. But now that the Denglai Naval Division is long gone, Liu Liangzuo is very worried that Dengzhou will not have enough ships for them to float to the sea to escape.

"There may not be so many warships, but there are fishing boats."

Liu Zeqing smiled and said: "We are not fighting a naval battle, we can take any ship!" ”

That's right! They are only here to escape for their lives, and it doesn't matter if they are warships or not. If there are not enough warships, they will grab fishing boats, Liu Liangzuo will not believe it, and there will be no boats for 30,000 people in Dengzhou.

"Okay, that's it. Brother Zeqing, let's go to Dengzhou! ”

......

......

"Emperor, good news, good news!"

Zhu Cihong was looking through a copy of the notes sent by Ji'an Mansion in Jiangxi Province, and Liu Chuanzong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi, ran in ecstatically.

Zhu Cihong rarely saw Liu Chuanzong lose his temper like this, so he put down his hand and said in a deep voice: "But it's from Shandong?" ”

Zhu Cihong thought that Huang Degong and the Shence Army had joined forces to defeat Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, and said in his heart that this was nothing, so why should he be so excited?

"Emperor, it's not good news from Shandong, it's Henan, Henan. Kaifeng is recovered, Kaifeng is a great victory! ”

Liu Chuanzong knelt on the ground, held the good news high above his head and said: "Slave and maid, congratulations to the emperor, Kaifeng has been restored!" ”

Zhu Cihong's heart moved.

Not long ago, Gao Jie just killed Xu Dingguo in Suizhou, and Kaifeng has been laid down in the past ten days?

Zhu Cihong expected that the strength of the Qing army in Henan would be very weak, but he did not expect it to be so weak. Kaifeng is second only to Luoyang in a big city, and Gao Jie's easy capture of Kaifeng proves that the Qing army really does not have many troops in Henan.

Zhu Cihong picked up the music and unfolded it, and the more he looked at it, the more pleased he became.

It turned out that Gao Jie used the gunpowder bombing method secretly taught by Zhu Cihong when he attacked and opened the seal.

Facts have proved that this improved version of the method of acupoint attack is very useful, according to Gao Jie's original words: the wall of Kaifeng City was blown down in more than a dozen places.

If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Gao Jie's recital was exaggerated. But Zhu Cihong won't.

Because only he knows the power of gunpowder to blow up the city.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Nanjing, it used black powder to blow up the city, and blew up the city wall that the red-coated cannons could not open, thus occupying Nanjing.

Although Kaifeng is also a Xiongcheng, the strength of the city wall is certainly not as strong as Nanjing.

Since Nanjing's city wall can be blown up, it is not uncommon for Kaifeng's city wall to be blown up in more than a dozen places.

Although Zhu Cihong knew the power of black powder to blow up the city, he had not tested it in actual combat after all. This time, Gao Jie used this method to win Kaifeng, which was equivalent to letting Zhu Cihong eat a reassuring pill.

In addition to reporting the victory, Gao Jie also asked the Son of Heaven to make an order in a sincere and fearful tone, whether to continue to go north.

Zhu Cihong is still very satisfied with this.

It is really rare for Gao Jie to be able to be unassuming at the time of a big victory and put the court and the Son of Heaven first.

It doesn't matter if he really thinks so in his heart, as long as he does it on his face, he is worthy of commendation.

The Northern Expedition, of course, was to continue. Kaifeng one gram, Luoyang, Huaiqing, Weihui can be captured, if the northern part of Henan is taken, Shandong, Henan can be connected. Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty took Shanxi, Guanzhong, relying on these provinces alone, would not be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty, who owned most of the world.

Of course, Zhu Cihong was not blindly optimistic that Gao Jie could plough the court and sweep the holes, smash the Yellow Dragon, and restore Shenjing.

Although the main forces of the Qing army were all transferred to attack Shanxi and Shaanxi, there must still be a lot of troops left near Gyeonggi. Because Emperor Shunzhi has moved the capital, Dolgon and Hauge are also there, and there are at least tens of thousands of elites stationed in Gyeonggi.

These people are not the Green Battalion Army, but the elite soldiers of Manchuria, and their strength is still very strong.

In addition, Henan and other places have to divide troops to garrison, even if Gao Jie attacks Gyeonggi, it is already the end of the crossbow.

Once the battle line is stretched, there will be problems with food supply. Gao Jie was tired of fighting the Qing, but he didn't have any advantage.

Of course, it is possible to try to push troops to the outskirts of Beijing, so as to deter the Manchu court and make them throw themselves into the trap.

"Hey, hey! Hello! Sanla jewelry is shining, and the sea lives up to the fishman. How can you be afraid of the wind on the boat, and the sun is red! To touch the pearl seabed drill, to pull the big fish to hurry up the canopy. ”

Early in the morning, the fishermen in Hongluo Bay, the capital of Dengzhou, raised their voices and shouted fishing songs to go out to sea to fish. For fishermen, it is a matter of course to eat the sea by the sea. Although it is very hard to go out to sea to fish, fishermen call it the Ten Evils: the so-called wind is frightened, and there is no wind to shake; There was rain, and there was hunger; hot weather, cold weather; The feet are rushing, and the shoulder blades are provocative; The three bars are pulled, and the old and young are crying.

But it's enough to work hard for a full meal a day, and to survive in troubled times.
