Zheng Zhilong is now from the admonition, especially for the young general Liu Guoxuan's upper, middle and lower three strategies, he accepts it all.

Because he has always appreciated Liu Guoxuan, this young man joined their Zheng Jiajun at the age of fifteen, wise and brave, repeatedly made military exploits, and refined the character of courage, perseverance and tenacity, Zheng Zhilong was most impressed by him, his ancestor worship, root-seeking consciousness and pioneering concept are relatively strong, in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, the thesis on martial arts, talent and morality, is comparable to Shi Lang, Shi Xian's brothers.

Especially this time to worship the marshal, Zheng Zhilong was even more impressed by Liu Guoxuan. He didn't expect that this young man was not only brave and brave, but also a good hand at charging into battle and fighting, but also had a splendid mind, a good strategy, and knew how to govern the country and secure the country, which was really rare.

It seems that Zheng Zhiguan really gave him a good idea, and let him take the stage to worship the commander and command the three armies of Ma Bu. In the past, he was just asked to be a military general who led the army, which was really a bit condescending. This is a full talent, not to mention the stage to worship the handsome, even to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, can also be deserved.

"Hahaha......" Zheng Zhilong listened to Liu Guoxuan's admonition, Long Yan Dayue, "Aiqing is really my Zhou Yafu." ”

Zheng Zhilong was happy, and immediately rewarded Liu Guoxuan with a Shang Fang sword, and asked him to be responsible for dispatching the sailors and the three armies on the shore to fight against the Ming army with all their might.

Meanwhile. Zheng Zhilong is also determined to do a big job, first of all, to be a good emperor, to start to work hard, conscientious, personally handle the government, go to the court on time, do it personally, take the lead in fulfilling frugality, and his diligence is no less than that of Emperor Chongzhen.

Then he sent a decree to reduce all kinds of taxes and servitude for the common people, let the six departments of the cabinet vigorously develop the people's livelihood, provide relief to the victims, increase food and salaries for the officers and soldiers in the army and the officials of various yamen, and the treasury was not enough to take the lead in opening up sources and saving resources, raising donations, increasing the taxes of the rich, and taking out two-thirds of the gold, silver and jewelry that their Zheng family had accumulated for many years, just like Emperor Chongzhen used internal funds back then.

In addition, in order to recruit talents, we have posted notices everywhere, recruited talents, and offered various temptation conditions such as high-ranking officials, networked talents, and implemented the strategic project of rejuvenating the country with talents.

These measures really worked, as if a dying person was injected with a booster, and the whole of the Great Southern Empire suddenly became energetic, from the emperor Zheng Zhilong, down to the civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians, etc., and they were shocked at that time.

Liu Guoxuan was born poor, influenced by Hakka thought, and he was upright, he hit walls everywhere and endured all the hardships, but this also trained his tenacious and resolute character, since joining the Zheng family, he has become like a person, so he is grateful to Zheng Zhilong and misses the emperor's grace.

Soon he ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 20,000 sailors. After more than 300 large and small warships, as well as dozens of red-coated cannons, food and ammunition, etc., Liu Guoxuan personally led the army to advance by land and water, and went out of Fujing to the southeast coast to kill, and arrived at Funing County, which was the area of Ningde City in later generations.

The soldiers and horses no longer went forward, because Liu Guoxuan knew that now the enemy was strong and I was weak, and it was not appropriate to take the initiative to attack, he adopted the strategy of defending as the attack, and his 100,000 horses had a new army, including some Beijing battalion soldiers, and now the strength of the Great Southern Empire was seriously insufficient.

Of course, he understands the truth that soldiers are good but not many, so Liu Guoxuan advocates active defense rather than taking the initiative to attack. In Funing County, he stepped up military training, training men and horses day and night, and he went to the scene every day to supervise the men and horses and sailors on the shore, and sometimes personally commanded the drills.

The generalissimo Liu Guoxuan, who held the sword of the Son of Heaven, was like this, and none of the other generals dared to slack off. For a time, the 100,000 army was in full swing......

After Zheng Chenggong left, Lin Yi's men basically stopped fighting and waited for news of Zheng Chenggong.

At this time, the three dukes of Jiangyin sent a beating, saying that their soldiers had reached Xianxia Pass. On the way, the siege of the city and the fortress, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the Ming army is invincible, the southern army hears the wind and descends or looks at the wind and escapes, except for Xianxia Pass.

The southern army here surrendered according to the pass, Xianxia Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, stretches for hundreds of miles, locks the throat of Fujian and Guangdong, since ancient times, the soldiers must fight, they attacked for several days, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and did not take the city of Xiaguan, Jiangyin Sangong specially asked the prisoner for his guilt.

After Lin Yi finished reading this excerpt, of course he would not cure the crime of the three princes of Jiangyin because of this, knowing that they were good at defending the city, but not good at attacking the city, and he knew that Xianxia Pass was indeed steep and dangerous, and it was not bad compared with Shanhaiguan, which is known as the first pass in the world. If you don't pay a certain price and don't pay some strategies, it's impossible to open this level.

But now he was waiting for news from Zheng Chenggong, so Lin Yi directly issued a fold instruction, suspended the attack on Guancheng, and stationed outside Guancheng to stand by, and then ordered someone to send this fold away.

Xiao Ying was worried: "Brother Lin, Zheng Zhilong, can he surrender, will Zheng Chenggong succeed this time, if they detain Zheng Chenggong or slaughter him, wouldn't we be here with stupid wives and other men?" A month or three months, this is equivalent to raising carbuncles. ”

"Since ancient times, we have known that soldiers are not belligerent, how can we succeed if we don't try? I believe that Zheng Chenggong has his own strategy, let's wait for good news. ”

Lin Yi didn't say much, for the sake of Zheng Chenggong's face, he wanted to give Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui a chance. If they really don't know the current affairs and are unwilling to accept Zhao'an, then they will be exterminated together, which can be regarded as doing their best.

For Zheng Chenggong's trip, Lin Yi also has a certain degree of certainty in his heart, even if Zheng Chenggong can successfully rebel against Zheng Hongkui, it is not worth the trip, as for what Xiaoying is worried about, Lin Yi is of course worried, tiger poison does not eat children, Zheng Zhilong will lock Zheng Chenggong up at most, not to kill him, in addition, Zheng Chenggong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what kind of person is Zheng Zhilong's father and son, you can't just look at historical records, only look at the facts.

Now the only thing Lin Yi can do is 800,000 horses and Chen soldiers around Fujian, causing an encirclement of the Great Southern Empire, such a high-pressure situation will help Zheng Chenggong lobby his uncle and father to let them accept the imperial court's recruitment, if the war in Fujian can be resolved peacefully, it will be a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, it has been attacking the heart and attacking the city. Regardless of the situation, leniency and severity are wrong, and war is only a last resort.

Theoretically speaking, Zheng Zhilong can surrender to the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, he was able to accept Emperor Chongzhen's recruitment, and now he should be able to accept his recruitment of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he is cornered, this is entirely possible.

Now Zheng Zhilong is already in a situation of isolation and helplessness. If the Ming army attacked from all sides, it would reach his Fujing in less than a month, and the troops would be under the city. In such a situation, Zheng Zhilong, as the founder of the Great Southern Empire, should know where to go, and he will definitely consider it carefully.

The sea area of Xiamen, Fujian. Zheng Chenggong's ship sailed here from the Taiwan Strait, and the naval fleet of the Southern Army and the red-coated cannons on the shore batteries had already discovered such a ship and aimed their guns at this ship.

Zheng Chenggong ordered his subordinates to play their own banner. Of course, a ship is not here to start a war, it is a flag, and there is a family flag of Zheng Chenggong, and none of these southern troops dare to fire at it.

Someone has already reported to the guard Zheng Hongkui here, Zheng Hongkui heard that Zheng Chenggong was coming, he was first surprised and delighted, and then gritted his teeth: "This kid dares to come back, let him report to the door!" ”

In this way, Zheng Chenggong's ship docked in Xiamen, and Zheng Chenggong took Tagawa Makiko and more than a dozen other people to get off the boat. The southern army general told them that Zheng Hongkui was waiting for him in the Shuai Mansion and asked him to report to the door.

Zheng Chenggong knew that his uncle was angry. Whoever it is, he won't be angry when he encounters this, his son opposes Lao Tzu, this is a big rebellion, and he has rebelled against the three outlines and five constants. Zheng Chenggong had already prepared, so he calmly took Makiko Tagawa with his expression, and more than a dozen fast horses galloped to the door of the Shuai Mansion.

The soldiers of the Southern Army were heavily guarded, after Zheng Chenggong dismounted, more than a dozen relatives were all blocked out, Zheng Chenggong was like no one around, he took Tagawa Makiko and shouted his name, passed before the forest of sword and axe hands, calmly walked under the crossed knife and gun racks, and strode to Zheng Hongkui's big tent.
