Chapter 114: Finally to Fujian

In the battle of Hutou Town, Guo Zhiqi didn't feel anything unusual at all.

Or Guo Zhiqi followed Xu Du to march, and he didn't feel anything along the way. It can be said that from Guangxin Mansion to Jinhua City, although it took nearly ten days. But on the whole, Guo Zhiqi did not feel the pressure of the battle.

It's just a battle ahead, so there's a slight pause.

But after a day or two, I suddenly opened up and moved on. Then when they meet the next Qing army, they pause again. In no more than three days, you can move on. It's just that there are more wounded soldiers from the bricks in the front to the back.

It's just that whenever you can't move forward, you can hear the rumbling of artillery in front of you. It was like rolling thunder, and it seemed to be a few miles away from the front line, so the sound of shouting and killing could not be heard clearly. Only the smell of gunsmoke and the sound of artillery fire can give people a hint of the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The further east you go, the closer you get to Jinhua, the longer you seem to stay.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins." A burst of chanting came from afar, even if it was several miles away, it also reached Guo Zhiqi's ears.

Guo Zhiqi couldn't help but ask the people around him what was going on. Naturally, no one knew, and it took a while for the news to spread. However, it was Xu Du who repelled Li Chengdong under Jinhua City, forced Li Chengdong to retreat ten miles back to the camp, and withdrew the Dongyang Jiangnan camp.

Among them, the hardships and hardships at the time of the battle naturally need not be said. Although Li Chengdong was only a small setback, not a big victory, the Jinhua defenders were able to join forces with Xu Dusuo's troops.

The soldiers of the Jinhua Army tried everything and finally got the result they wanted.

As for whether there are people waiting to come, they didn't come after all, and those who want to see them don't see them after all, such a tragicomedy of voices. There is no need to dwell on it.

Although the war in Jinhua still continues, it has entered a new stage.

For Guo Zhiqi, his mission has also had a new development. He doesn't need to be in the Xu Du army anymore. Because in Jinhua City, there is already someone from the Zheng family, that is, Chen Ding.

For Chen Ding, once the siege of Jinhua is solved, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

At the time of the siege of Jinhua City, everyone was united. Let Jinhua City be under siege and hold on. But now that Xu Du arrived, he took over everything in Jinhua City strongly. Xu Jiaying, Zhang Xianbi has no opinion on this. Not to mention Xu Du's qualifications and abilities, just say that Xu Jiaying is Xu Du's younger brother, and Jinhua City is where Xu Du's foundation is located. Most of them are Xu Du's old departments, and they don't have the heart to resist Xu Du at all.

This is a happy situation, and the only person who is not happy is Chen Ding.

Xu Du simply disarmed Chen Ding's subordinates.

Chen Ding suddenly became an idler, if it weren't for Xu Zhizhi, Zhang Xuan still had a little idea about Zheng Chenggong, and he didn't want to do things too much, plus Chen Ding still had some credit in the battle of Jinhua City. Only then did Chen Ding leave more than 100 personal guards. However, he didn't want to keep him in Jinhua, and it happened that Guo Zhiqi was going to Fujian as an envoy, so he let them go together.

Chen Ding was also born as a scholar, and he talked about the New Year with Guo Zhiqi.

Guo Zhiqi is a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and Chen Ding is a Jinshi in Chongzhen's seventeenth year, although the age difference between the two is not big. Even they were raised in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. But because the junior sergeant is different in age. Chen Ding wanted to call Guo Zhiqi Nian.

To be honest, Chen Ding was also worried about the situation in Fujian.

After the defeat in Nanjing, Chen Ding's contact with the Zheng clan center was not too much. When Xu Du relieved him of his military power, he still had some resentment in his heart, but after seeing Guo Zhiqi, his mind was worried about what the pattern would be after the defeat of the Zheng family, so he naturally wanted to go back to Fujian.

He asked for a merchant ship from Xudu, and went east with Guo Zhiqi, first from the Dongyang River to Nanxi, and then abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and went to sea from Wenzhou, as for the sea. With the Zheng clan's strength at sea, no matter how they can send them to Quanzhou.

It's just that Guo Zhiqi is still a little worried, and said: "I heard that Li Chengdong went south and attacked the three prefectures of Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Chuzhou, and the connection between Jinhua and these three prefectures has also been cut off. ”

Guo Zhiqi brought relatively few people, and he wanted to be simple and obedient, disguised, and pass through these places. But Chen Ding brought more than 100 soldiers, and this posture was too different from what Guo Zhiqi had prepared before.

Chen Ding smiled lightly and said: "Brother Guo Nian underestimated my Fujian Palace, don't say anything else, don't say anything, if it's too warm, Taiwan, and in the territory of the three mansions, he will go down the river, enter the Qiantang River, and go to sea from Hangzhou, and my Fujian Mansion can also do it properly." It's just that I'm afraid that you will be frightened, so I changed this path. Rest assured, my Min Wangfu purchases a large number of goods in these three mansions all the year round, and the relationship is very hard, even if Li Chengdong is powerful, it is impossible to clean it up within ten days. ”

Money is a god.

The Zheng family is in charge of the maritime trade network, and the people who want to make money in the sea are indispensable to the Zheng family.

Even Guo Zhiqi estimated that among the Qing army, there were also people who were looking for deals with the Zheng family. This kind of network is there, and some people are released, and it is not unaware of it.

Chen Ding saw Guo Zhiqi nodding, but asked, "Brother Guo, but I don't know what Brother Guo is here?" ”

Guo Zhiqi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the words Chen Ding had just used. Chen Ding did not use the Zheng family, but used the Min Wangfu. To be honest, there are very few people in the Zheng family who claim to be so self-proclaimed. Especially after Zheng Chenggong took the throne, this is even more so.

Gain

The throne of King Min was sealed by the Xia Dynasty. Since Zheng Chenggong has a heart of self-reliance, he naturally wants to dilute the relationship between him and the Xia Dynasty.

Guo Zhiqi said lightly: "Actually, there is nothing to do, it's just that Your Majesty wants to rebuild the old good." ”

Chen Ding nodded and said, "I see." The two sides didn't say much, and they didn't know if they believed it.

Under Chen Ding's arrangement, the journey was smooth. Nothing went wrong. Although Guo Zhiqi was worried along the way, he only settled down after taking a boat out of the Yongning River and entering the sea.

As I thought before, as soon as I went to sea, I immediately contacted the sailor of the Zheng family.

Although the Zheng clan is losing and retreating on land, the Zheng clan is still a well-deserved overlord in the East China Sea. There is simply no one to challenge. After Guo Zhiqi changed to a sea ship, he arrived in Quanzhou in two days.

It is true that the provincial capital of Fujian is Fuzhou, but the core of the Zheng family has always been in Quanzhou, or it is not Quanzhou, but Anping. That is, Zheng Zhilong's mansion built in Nan'an like a small city.

As soon as Guo Zhiqi and Chen Ding arrived in Quanzhou, Chen Yonghua came to greet them.

In the Battle of Xiangyang, Chen Yonghua, as a bystander, observed the before and after of this battle, and heard the news of Zheng Chenggong's defeat in Nanjing, and could no longer sit still. hurriedly came back, met Zheng Chenggong, and told him everything he knew about Xia Jun's fiction and reality. The purpose is also very simple. just wants Zheng Chenggong to change his attitude.

It's just that it failed.

Hearing that Chen Ding and the envoy of Xia Jun were coming, he was overjoyed.

He rejoiced in two things, the first was that his father was out of trouble. Before Chen Ding was trapped in Jinhua City, Chen Yonghua was also worried day and night. How can you not be happy to get out of trouble at this moment, and secondly, it is Guo Zhiqi's envoy this time. Chen Yonghua felt the sincerity of the Xia Dynasty.

It is impossible to say that Zheng Chenggong's mind can be changed by external force.

But anyone who can be called a hero has one characteristic, that is, he stalemates his own opinions and does not conform to the vulgar trend. Zheng Chenggong is such a person, although the situation is difficult now, and he is in difficulty both internally and externally, it is extremely difficult to get Zheng Chenggong to change his original mind.

In such a predicament, Zheng Chenggong plucked up the courage and tried to unify the internal power of the Zheng family. It even took the initiative to weaken the power of the opposing parties. Naturally, the other party is unwilling to back down. In this way, the situation within the Zheng clan is even more complicated and weird.

Chen Yonghua didn't know how to persuade Zheng Chenggong for a while. I don't dare to say anything at will, for fear of being taken advantage of. I can only hope that external forces will break the game.

Under the arrangement of Chen Ding and Chen Yonghua, Guo Zhiqi did not waste much time at all, waited for a day in Quanzhou, and then took a boat to Anping City, and almost as soon as he arrived in Anping City, he was received by Zheng Chenggong. It seems that Zheng Chenggong has been waiting for a long time.
