In the city of Fuzhou, Chen Bao has lost his initial enthusiasm, and he mixes in the city every day to play with the soldiers.

In the open space below the city tower, the soldiers who had changed their defenses and repaired formed a circle, watching Chen Bao inside waving a water and fire stick. Where the tip of the stick hit, a touch of dust was raised, and there was a wind between shouting.

The soldiers applauded and clapped their palms vigorously, not to flatter the officials, but to do a good job.

Chen Bao put away the stick and listened to the admiration around him, which was quite useful. But then he threw the stick and said angrily: "Shrinking in the city all day long, watching those people who call Hanako to cut down trees and build sheds, where is this war, it is simply angry." It is said that Hou Xuanyan of Jiading is a great hero, hum, how did he get to our Fuzhou and become a girl without a seed. After besieging the city for so long, I didn't dare to attack the city once, so I knew to cut down trees outside to play? ”

A recent soldier joked: "Hehe, this kid hasn't met us for a long time, otherwise where did he get such a big name, speaking of which the Manchu Qing Dynasty was blown so mysterious, it seems that it is also because the Han people in the north are too weak." If we hit Fujian, maybe we have already counterattacked outside Shanhaiguan, and it will be his turn to get the prestige of his surname Hou. ”

Although Chen Bao was confident, he had not yet reached the point of conceit, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "Duoduo, Hong Chengchou, Li Shutai, and Wu Sangui are all heroes for a while, so why did they lose in his hands one by one." ”

Just as they were bragging, the city suddenly screamed, Chen Bao's eyes lit up, picked up the blade and shouted: "Could it be that they are finally willing to attack the city?" After saying that, he climbed up the tower with his men.

The scene downstairs made Chen Bao's mood fall to the bottom in an instant, the suburbs of the city were already full of enemy reinforcements, and there was no end in sight. Shi Lang was also in the city tower, and the gloom in his eyes was even worse, the enemy's reinforcements appeared here, which meant one thing, the prince was defeated.

In addition to their own 20,000 soldiers and horses, the rest of the soldiers and horses in Fujian are in the hands of the prince, if they are defeated, what will they take to hold Fuzhou?

Even if Zheng Zhilong plays well in Liangguang, once the nest is lost, he will be beaten back to his original form in an instant. Fuzhou is where he has settled down, and all kinds of firearms factories, shipyards, and ports and wharves are all in Fujian, and once he loses this old nest that has been in business for several decades, what will he do to support the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Guangzhou. Thinking of this, even Shi Lang, who had always been calm, became a little anxious.

Fortunately, the Northern Expeditionary Army under the city still did not attack the city, and it used to be 60,000 Zhejiang soldiers cutting down trees and building sheds, but now it has become 160,000. The suburbs of Fuzhou have been cut bare, but the people in the city no longer have the calmness and calmness they began with.

Chen Bao stepped forward to find Shi Lang, clenched his fists and asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

"Wait, Ping Guogong must give up Liangguang, he will come back." Shi Lang seemed to be cheering himself up, and he didn't know if he could wait until Zheng Zhilong returned to Fujian. You must know that in Liangguang, there are 130,000 Hunan soldiers who can fight and bite Zheng Zhilong to the death. But Shi Lang can only say this, at least he can give his subordinates a little confidence. At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong insisted on going to Liangguang and mixing in the troubled waters, but Shi Lang was against it. In his opinion, since he intends to tear his face with the imperial court, it is better to negotiate directly with the Manchus, and take advantage of the fact that the Manchus and the Northern Expeditionary Army were fighting in Xiangyang, Sichuan and Shu, and directly stab Hou Xuan from behind.

But Zheng Zhilong didn't have the courage, he still chose to wait, waiting for the new emperor to come out. In Shi Lang's opinion, this is extremely stupid, a doll emperor in the backyard of the deep palace, whether he is male or female, is not up to others. The Zheng family was born as a pirate, and he always wanted to wait and see when he encountered something, waiting for others to go up first and pick up the bargain in the back. As everyone knows, now it is not a battle between pirates, but a competition for the world, how can this kind of strength win.

When Chen Bao and the others heard Zheng Zhilong's name, their spirits lifted, especially when they heard that he might come back to rescue, and they regained some confidence.

In the big camp under the city, Hou Xuanyan finally looked forward to his army, and everyone in Zhejiang was happy. The camp was full of laughter and laughter as if it had been celebrated in advance, and it seemed that before the siege battle was fought, they were already sure that they could win.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Jiaji said happily: "Guogong is really a god and a man, no wonder he said that he wanted to take us to Fuzhou City for the festival, it turned out that he had already prepared." ”

Hou Xuanyan has never known how to write modestly, so he was able to say gloomily: "I, Hou Xuanyan, have spoken a slang when I have spoken, a mouthful of spit and a nail, and I am talking about the word Xinyi." ”

The faces of the generals in the tent were slightly embarrassed, and Zhu Dadian said with a little silly smile: "Guogong, Fuzhou is already a turtle in the urn, when will you start attacking the city?" ”

Hou Xuanyan saw that his subordinates didn't even cheer, knowing that it was because most of his words on weekdays didn't count, but fortunately, he was not angry when he was in a good mood, waved his hand, and said: "This is not in a hurry, you first follow the Zhejiang soldiers to dig the soil." ”

"Digging?"

The generals of the Shuizi camp looked confused, first cut down trees and then dug the soil, did they really want to build a city outside Fuzhou City and consume them to death?

Qian Sule had already begged for a clean dress from the Shuizi camp at this time, freshened up, regained his former elegance, and said with a smile: "You don't know, Guogong cut down trees and built sheds, but he actually wanted to cover the excavation of tunnels and prepare to blow up the city wall of Fuzhou underground. ”

Only then did the generals suddenly realize that it was too simple for more than 100,000 people to dig a few tunnels, and even if the city knew about it, there was no way to guard against it. After all, there is a huge disparity in troops, and this method is a good and proper method. Hou Xuanyan still learned from Zhang Huangyan, and when they fought Wuchang, they used this bad move. But that time it was through the fog, but this time it was because of the large number of people. Although everyone thinks that Fuzhou City can be taken by force, this is not a big city, after all, Fujian is located in the southeast, there are few wars, and there are few decent cities at all. Fuzhou was only established in the first year of Hongwu, when the world was already peaceful, and the imperial court would not spend this unjust money to build a city in the southeast corner. That being said, if you can blow up the city walls, it will be a notch lower.

Hou Xuan's Zhejiang soldiers have besieged the city for so long, and they have already played several tunnels, but they don't have gunpowder. This difficulty was solved after the arrival of the Shuizi Battalion, which has always been the battalion with the most firearms, and there are more such things as gunpowder than anything else.

"Zheng Sen was defeated in Shuangxi Town, and his soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses, and there were no threatening men and horses in Fujian in a short period of time. We are not in a hurry, and we will slowly take Fuzhou, and we will be safe. If they want to turn the tables, unless Zheng Zhilong gives up Liangguang and rushes back to Fujian, but at that time, Xia Wanchun and 130,000 Hunan soldiers followed him. This battle has been fought so far, although we have not won all of them, but we are already invincible. Hou Xuanyan pointed to Zhu Dadian and Wu Yi and said: "The first merit should be recorded in your Shuizi Battalion, Shuangxi Town will be determined in the first battle, and I will ask for credit for you after returning to the dynasty." ”

When the generals of the Shuizi Battalion heard this, the smile on their faces was even stronger, since Hou Xuanyan said that he had merit, where would he still use it. After he returned, he did it himself with an edict. Everyone knows that it is impossible for a half-year-old doll to interfere in government affairs. Xuanyan, the prince of Yueguo, is the master of the current imperial court, and he is the master of his word.

-------

In Zhaoqing Mansion, Guangdong, the news of Zheng Sen's defeat in Shuangxi Town came, and Zheng Zhilong's face was cloudy.

When he was showing his strength in the two cities, his lair was occupied, and Zheng Zhilong was furious.

"Jiannu Tartars have jumped up and down the mountain over the years, making such a big noise, I really think they are a group of characters, it turned out to be a group of silver-like pewter spearheads, and they were weak when they met Hou Xuanyan. The dog Tartar was fierce and invincible at the beginning, how could he not even drag Hou Xuanyan's soldiers and horses, what a bunch of waste! With a bang, the cup in Zheng Zhilong's hand fell to the ground, and the glass cup from Fanzi fell to pieces.

He originally listened to his son Zheng Du's words and sent people to get in touch with the Manchus, hoping that Tatar could help him hold back Hou Xuanyan's Northern Expeditionary Army. Zheng Zhilong himself was sure that the Manchu Qing could hold it back, and it was even possible to cross the Yangtze River and capture Jinling and Suzhou. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was unable to hold Hou Xuanyan back, so he still transferred an army of 100,000.

At present, it has become a difficult situation for him to ride a tiger, and if he returns to Fujian, his business in Liangguang for so long will be in vain. The money and grain, baggage, and men and horses invested were all lost, and there was no profit at all, and there were heavy losses. Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong had a headache, nothing could make a greedy pirate sad more than the word heavy loss. Even if he is the Pirate King.

Although Zheng Zhilong's flesh hurts, he has not lost his mind, and he himself knows that if he loses Fujian, he will have nothing. Even if he escaped to the sea and lost the vast Shenzhou Continent, his trade route would become extremely narrow. The best outcome is to become a true pirate king, making a living by robbing at sea.

After being the king of Fujian for so long, Zheng Zhilong certainly didn't want to be beaten back to his original form, and his power and wealth in Fujian were far from being comparable to that of a pirate.

"Pass the order and prepare to withdraw the troops." Zheng Zhilong's eight words were almost squeezed out of his throat.

Zheng Cai in the tent hurriedly said: "Father, what about Liangguang?" ”

"I said withdraw to Fujian, are you deaf?" Zheng Zhilong suddenly roared, and fell to his knees in the bluffing tent.

Even if Fuzhou is lost, they still hold the remaining six prefectures in Fujian, where they have their foundation, and Zheng Zhilong believes that he still has a chance to fight. Because although the Manchu Qing Dynasty let go of a water battalion, there will never be any more Northern Expeditionary Army, in that case, even if the Manchu Qing are weak, they can cross the river to fight. He is a pirate, and he has such blood in his bones, and at this time, he is still calculating the strength of others. As everyone knows, it is dangerous to base one's life and death on the judgment of others.
