At the same time that Gao Guiying and Li Yan's army was advancing eastward, the 100,000 Ming army led by Mu Tianbo and Song Xiance was also in full swing eastward from northern Guangxi, and they had united with the local Ming army to take the northern part of Huguang in one fell swoop.

After taking the southern part of Wuhan, the troops pointed directly to the Jianghuai area, and after joining the troops of Liu Zeqing and the three dukes of Jiangyin, they advanced southward.

This road of soldiers and horses is also snowballing bigger and bigger, and it has also hit northern Fujian. The reinforcements from the North and the South are added together, and now the Ming army in northern Fujian has exceeded 300,000.

As soon as Lin Yi's soldiers and horses arrived in the eastern waters of Fujian, they received compliments from all over the country, almost all of which were good news. Now Gao Guiying and Li Yan's soldiers and horses have reached Fujian, completely driving away the Portuguese colonists, and their men and horses have developed rapidly, even Li Dingguo's men and horses plus the integration of the southern army, and now they have more than 200,000 men and horses.

In the north, more than 300,000 troops such as Song Xiance, Mu Tianbo, Jiangyin Sangong, and Liu Zeqing have already reached northern Fujian.

Lin Yi's way, even the soldiers and generals on the shore of the water division plus the captured prisoners of the Southern Army, are added together, and now there are more than 200,000.

Lin Yi calculated that the Ming army in the west, north and east of Fujian was combined, with a total strength of nearly 800,000.

Lin Yi looked at the situation in front of him, and it would take another month at most. The sailors of the Western Route Army and his sailors will be able to achieve an ironclad encirclement on the sea, and when the time comes, a million heroes will besiege the Jingshi of the Great Southern Empire, and Zheng Zhilong will already be the turtle in the urn.

But for Zheng Zhilong, although this person is extremely evil, in order to take care of Zheng Chenggong, and also for the sake of the people in this area, who are less affected by the war, Yi is still willing to pacify the main thing and exterminate it as a supplement.

So he found Zheng Chenggong to discuss countermeasures.

"Success, how should we fight the next battle?"

Zheng Chenggong is so smart, he instantly understood Lin Yi's intentions, because the battle has been very clear now, the Great Southern Empire is only left with a small land, a few lonely cities, and it is not able to confront the Ming Army at all, this battle is very easy to fight, directly enter the army, the fall of the Great Southern Empire is only a matter of time, and this time is not far away. The reason why Lin Yi asked him this was not because he had no strategy, but because he took into account his father Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Chenggong immediately knelt on the ground, "Lord Jianguo, you can fight how you want to fight, please give an order, Chenggong is willing to be a forerunner." ”

Lin Yi smiled, "This prison country knows that success is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it never doubts your loyalty, but this prison country still hopes that the king of Nan'an will confess his guilt and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, your father and son will be reunited, the family will be reunited, and the people will end the suffering of the sword soldiers as soon as possible, and return all living beings to peace." Don't know if there is a good way to succeed? ”

Zheng Chenggong was very grateful, "Thank you for the grace of the Prison Lord, our Zheng family should be loyal to the imperial court when we receive the emperor's grace." It's a pity that my father was fascinated by his mind for a while, and he did something rebellious, thanks to the fact that the Lord of the Prison Country did not abandon him, and the Lord was kind to our Zheng family...... There is a plan for success, but I don't know if it is feasible?

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zheng Chenggong said that his third uncle Zheng Hongkui loved himself the most. When he was studying in Nanjing Guozijian, through his teacher Qian Qianyi and his teacher Liu Ruyi, he had many contacts with this third uncle, and Zheng Hongkui was the chief soldier in Zhenjiang at that time. In his spare time, Zheng Chenggong also followed his third uncle to learn martial arts, their uncle and nephew talked about everything, Zheng Chenggong was most willing to accept his third uncle, even better than his father, Zheng Hongkui was once loyal to the imperial court, unswerving to the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why he came to this point today is also a last resort. Zheng Chenggong plans to lobby his third uncle Zheng Hongkui first. If he can surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then their uncle and nephew will go to Beijing to persuade their father Zheng Zhilong, so that he can change his mind and confess his guilt.

Zheng Chenggong told his thoughts frankly without concealing them.

Lin Yi also knows something about Zheng Hongkui and his people, and he did not follow Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in history. Instead, he followed Zheng Chenggong to embark on a road to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so Lin Yi adopted Zheng Chenggong's strategy after thinking about it, and he also believed that Zheng Chenggong could kill his relatives in righteousness.

However, Lin Yi is still worried about Zheng Chenggong's safety, although Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui are father and son, uncle and nephew, and their blood is thicker than water. But in an era when imperial power is greater than everything, family affection seems so delicate. I don't know how many people in history have turned against each other because of power and interests, fathers and sons, husbands and wives have become enemies, and fratricide is too numerous to mention.

And Lin Yi also knows that in history, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son have taken different paths. Therefore, Lin Yi planned to let Zheng Chenggong bring more people. And he is ready to personally pick some elite soldiers for him to take with him, and help him at a critical time, so as not to suffer accidents.

"There are adults who love so much, and there are no regrets about success. If you resign successfully, you will become a benevolent, and if you don't worry about adults, it is enough to have Kiko to accompany me. Too many people are cumbersome, many inconveniences in action, the success of this trip is less than a month, at most three months, if this period is exceeded, there is no news of success, the Lord of the Prison sent troops to his heart's content, and leveled Fuzhou and Nan'an. Zheng Chenggong politely declined.

"Again, I hope you can succeed." Lin Yi didn't look reluctant.

After the plan was decided, Zheng Chenggong took Makiko Tagawa and traveled lightly. With only a dozen retinues and a dozen horses, they got on a medium-sized warship, of course, they had to take the waterway, and the waterway was also close, and they came to the area of Zhangzhou and Xiamen......

In view of Zheng Chenggong's strategy, Lin Yi ordered Gao Guiying, Li Yan, and his troops and horses to temporarily stop attacking the southern kingdom and wait for news from Zheng Chenggong.

Fujing, the capital of the Great Southern Empire, was later known as Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.

At this time, as the emperor of the Great Southern Empire, Zheng Zhilong could no longer sit still on the dragon chair. The imperial banquet in the palace, the three palaces and six courtyards, and the three thousand beauties in the harem, he can't take care of all of them, because now his Great Southern Empire is suffering defeats everywhere, and the situation is precarious. From the west to the north to the east, from the shore to the sea, there was news of the defeat, and now his dragon books were piled up, all of which were urgent documents for the defeated players.

In the year since he became emperor, there is now only one Fujian left in the territory he controls.

The original Fujian was the center, extending to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liangguang, Jianghuai basin and Huguang area. How vast the area is, it is almost worth half of the Ming Dynasty. But he didn't expect that under the attack of the Ming army, his so-called heroes with millions of soldiers and thousands of generals turned out to be so vulnerable.

He had to be worried, and now he realized that the emperor was not easy to be, and he even had some sympathy for Emperor Chongzhen back then, and he could feel Chongzhen's situation back then, and the most intolerable thing was that his biological son Zheng Chenggong actually rebelled against him and openly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Zheng Zhibao's people were all wiped out.

Taro Miyamoto's 800 Oriental samurai were all killed, and the Oriental people were unreliable. The Portuguese colonists fled with their tails between their legs. The battleship of Hongmaozi suffered a defeat in Zhoushan, and then went around the sea and went back. Who can be counted on to retreat from the enemy now?

Looking at these civil and military officials, Zheng Zhilong slapped the Dragon Book case loudly, and he couldn't wait to overturn the Dragon Book case all at once. Of course, it is to scold these officials for being incompetent, unable to share my worries, and eating my money in vain.

The civil and military officials below didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and they were scolded like grandsons.

At this time, his adviser Li Guozhu came out of the squad and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister has a book." ”

Li Guozhu is the son of Li Dan. Li Dan is an overseas Chinese in the cherry blossom country, his ancestral home is also Quanzhou, and he has lived in the East for a long time to do business. When Zheng Zhilong was not yet famous, he followed his uncle to mix up, and before he got into business, Li Dan had become the most powerful local maritime businessman, and later Li Dan became Zheng Zhilong's godfather.

It was Li Dan who made Zheng Zhilong's maritime road. It can even be said that if there is no Li Dan, there is no Zheng Zhilong today.

Zheng Zhilong knew the kindness of Li Dan, thanked Li Dan for his kindness, regarded Li Dan's son Li Guozhu as his own brother, and after being called the emperor, he was crowned as an important minister.

Seeing Li Guozhu speak, Zheng Zhilong's face looked much better, "Aiqing, this chapter is played quickly." ”

"Your Majesty, at present, the morale of the Ming army is at its peak, our army has been defeated one after another, and it has become an unstoppable thing for the Ming army to come from all sides. With our current strength is no longer enough to confront the Ming Dynasty, we foolishly think that it is better to move the capital to Taiwan, drive away these red hairs, and occupy the treasure island, in order to develop and grow, and then try to achieve the Ming Dynasty. As for success, after all, he is young and vigorous, and he will definitely come back. ”

"Your Majesty, no." Zheng Zhiguan, the head of the household, said, "If we withdraw, the Ming army will inevitably follow, and the waves in the Taiwan Strait are high and the sea is deep, and there are more red-haired ships with strong guns. ”

When it comes to Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Zhilong clearly shows this young general in his mind, he joined the army at the age of fifteen, and he is not yet twenty years old this year, but he has made great achievements, and has become a general in the army who can command thousands of troops and horses, and stand alone.

Xianxia Pass is foolproof, don't look at the menacing Ming army in the north, when they reach Xianxia, they are the end of the strong crossbow. However, the two Ming armies on the west and east sides are not easy to deal with by sea and land, so it is really not possible, so I will drive the expedition in person.

In addition, when Li Guozhu's timing is incomprehensible, it is not a road, to develop overseas, temporarily avoid the edge, don't look at the difficulty of dealing with the Ming army, it is still a matter of cleaning up the red hair, Zheng Zhiguan is just difficult to leave his homeland.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong did not immediately express his position, but agreed to withdraw from the dynasty in the future.

When he arrived at the harem, his wife Tagawa came to see him with small steps, and bowed down suddenly: "Your Majesty, the concubine asks Your Majesty for peace." ”

"Well, I'm exempt." Zheng Zhilong waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is news of Sen'er......"

"Don't mention him to me! This son of ......" Zheng Zhilong trembled, "They are all good sons raised by you!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the concubine is guilty, please forgive Your Majesty." Tagawa was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.

"Let's go, let's go." Zheng Zhilong's face was impatient, and a few days later, Tagawa moved out of Fujing and returned to Zheng Zhilong's hometown in Nan'an Prefecture......

Zheng Zhilong finally decided, adopted Zheng Zhiguan's strategy, sent the generals Gan Hui and Zhong Bin to garrison Xianxia Pass, and transferred back the junior general Liu Guoxuan to order him to be the generalissimo of the navy and army, and immediately took the stage to pay homage.

Nineteen-year-old Liu Guoxuan returned to Fujing, received such a holy decree, flattered, he had repeatedly made military exploits, and as a general commanded thousands of troops and horses, but the generalissimo of the navy and army soldiers and horses He felt that the burden was too heavy and he was not competent. But the holy order could not be disobeyed, and he could only kneel on the ground and thank Long En.

After taking over the handsome seal, Zheng Zhilong asked Ji Liu Guoxuan, how to withdraw from the army, and Ji will be released? Liu Guoxuan gave Zheng Zhilong three strategies, the upper, middle and lower, the upper policy is to follow the way of Yao Shun and do things that are obedient to the people; The middle strategy is to open up the way and recruit talents. The next strategy is to block the soldiers and the water to the earth. The upper policy can be long-lasting, the middle policy can be strong, and the lower policy is just expediency. Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed when he heard this.
