Chapter 466: You Live or Die
The army led by Yuan Jixian has already arrived in Ganzhou.
The water network of Ganzhou Mansion is dense, which is very suitable for water divisions.
Therefore, this time, Yuan Jixian brought all the Jiangxi sailors, ready to teach the rebellious Gui Wang Army a hard lesson.
Judging from the shape, Ganzhou Mansion resembles a turtle. Gan County is located on the flank of the turtle.
Zhangshui goes all the way south to Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong. The key point of defense here is Meiling. As long as Meiling is held, the rebels can only look at the pass and sigh.
In the other direction, it is in the south direction, adjacent to Longchuan in Guangdong.
Dingnan is located in the position of Gumi, and if the rebels intend to attack from Gumi, they must pass through Dingnam.
Yuan Jixian only needed to order the army to hold Chengling and Shenxian Ridge to block the rebels' approach.
Blocking these two directions, the rebels on the Cantonese side had nothing to fear.
It's just that Jiangxi also borders Fujian.
Judging from the current signs, Zheng Zhilong's rebellion is just short of that layer of window paper.
Once Zheng Zhilong pierced the layer of window paper, he would not hesitate to cooperate with King Gui to launch a fierce attack on Jiangxi.
The attack on Jiangxi from Fujian was also generally in two directions.
The first is to choose to march from the direction of Yanping Mansion, all the way through Shunchang, Jiangle, Jianning, and enter the territory under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Jianchang Mansion through Baizhangling.
To defend against a possible attack by the rebels, Yuan Jixian had to leave some of his men in Jianchang. Although the jurisdiction of Jianchang Mansion is not large, it is the east gate of Jiangxi, and it cannot be lost.
If Jianchang is broken, Fuzhou Mansion and even Nanchang Mansion will be in danger.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong can also choose to march directly from Tingzhou Mansion to attack Ganzhou. Ruijin is located on the right wing of Ganzhou Mansion, across the mountain from Changting.
If the rebels want to enter Ganzhou from now on, they must attack Ruijin.
Therefore, Yuan Jixian also needs to leave people in Ruijin.
In this way, it seems that Yuan Jixian still has a lot of points to defend.
However, fortunately, there are more than 100,000 troops in Jiangxi, and it is still possible to defend in four directions.
Yuan Jixian himself also temporarily set up the governor Xingyuan in Ganxian County, and expressed his resolute attitude to the army.
This battle must be won.
......
......
The fire within the Zheng family came very quickly.
Zheng Zhilong arranged in advance to take the lead in attacking, and he sent troops to besiege Zheng Hongkui's mansion and forced Zheng Hongkui to hand over his military power and obediently obey.
But Zheng Hongkui is not a bully, he organized the guards in the palace to resist desperately, but he was uncompromising.
Zheng Zhilong was a little annoyed and angry for a while.
Why is this younger brother of his own who is unreasonable?
He did this for the good of the Zheng family, why did the fourth brother oppose him everywhere?
Although Zheng Zhilong is a cold-blooded and ruthless person, he can't kill Zheng Hongkui directly.
But the problem now is that Zheng Hongkui is very uncooperative, and if he continues to consume it, he may have a lot of dreams at night.
At this time, one of Zheng Zhilong's henchmen suggested that Zheng Zhilong burn a kind of poisonous weed that was dizzy and threw it into the yard, so that all the people in the yard would be stunned. In this way, Zheng Hongkui and his family members will all lose their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and Zheng Zhilong can easily send troops to attack them.
Zheng Zhilong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this suggestion.
He didn't want to hurt Zheng Hongkui's life, and stunting him was obviously the best way.
As soon as he said it, Zheng Zhilong immediately ordered the burning of this poisonous weed unique to Fujian and immediately threw it into the yard. Zheng Hongkui, who organized the defense in the mansion, obviously did not expect that his brother would use this method to force him to comply.
I didn't even react when I saw countless ignited poisonous weeds thrown into the courtyard.
By the time he reacted, it was too late.
Although this poisonous weed is not lethal, it has an extremely strong stunting effect.
If you cover your mouth and nose directly with a wet tissue, it will have a delaying effect, but if you inhale the air like this, you will soon pass out.
Sure enough, Zheng Hongkui's men fainted one after another. Even Zheng Hongkui was not immune.
It took less than a moment for Zheng Zhilong to clear all obstacles.
He ordered his subordinates to break into the door and tie up all Zheng Hongkui's subordinates.
These people are only temporarily unconscious or will wake up, Zheng Zhilong doesn't want these people to wake up again.
In the end, Zheng Zhilong came to Zheng Hongkui's side.
He sighed and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you understand, it's for the good of the Zheng family to be a brother." This was the case when he accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and now he is cooperating with the Qing court and King Gui. Only the interests of the Zheng family are the most important. Everything else can be sacrificed. ”
At this point, Zheng Zhilong also knew that it was impossible for him and Zheng Hongkui to return to the time when they were intimate in the past. After this incident, he will confine Zheng Hongkui alone in the mansion, serving delicious food and drink. But Zheng Hongkui's most important thing, military power and freedom, will be deprived.
Zheng Zhilong will disperse the military power that originally belonged to Zheng Hongkui to a few henchmen, so that his biggest heart problem will be relieved.
The next day, everyone up and down in Nan'an City learned the news of Zheng Hongkui's house arrest. Some of the Zheng clansmen who were originally preparing to try to fight against Zheng Zhilong relented and asked for Zheng Zhilong's forgiveness.
For these people, Zheng Zhilong chose to forgive.
After all, the current war ahead is tight, and it is not the time for internal friction. He first relieved Zheng Hongkui of military power in order to serve as a warning to those who opposed him to see clearly the cost of doing so.
As long as these people can get lost, Zheng Zhilong can still open the net.
Of course, there are those who are stubborn.
These people think that Zheng Zhilong is inferior to his brother and prisoner brother.
They entangled all the forces they could fight for and directly attacked Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
Zheng Zhilong was not afraid at all.
His mansion was built like a royal palace, and it was fully fortified.
If any cat or dog can threaten him, he will be a fool for so many years.
A great battle unfolded in the city of Naman.
Although the coalition forces opposing Zheng Zhilong were numerous, they were not well equipped with firearms, especially heavy weapons such as cannons.
This disadvantage was evident when attacking Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
Zheng Zhilong ordered people to use firearms, and took turns to suppress the coalition forces with cannons and firearms, and the coalition forces suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
By the time the coalition forces finally built a ladder on the courtyard wall of Zheng Zhilong's mansion, most of the main force had already died.
But they still chose to fight to the end.
They are all natives of Fujian, and they must not watch Zheng Zhilong drag Fujian into a point where they will never recover.
Gradually, some of the coalition forces climbed over the courtyard wall and entered Zheng Zhilong's mansion.
They engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Zheng Zhilong's descendants.
At such a close distance, firearms could not exert their power, and both sides relied on their blades in their hands.
The swords clashed with a crisp sound, and no one wanted to back down, and it was a battle that no one could afford to lose.
