Zhu Hongsan saw that the Zheng family's fleet did not keep up, and completely relieved. Although he is not afraid of a battle with the Zheng family, he can win it according to his estimate, but the consequences are too serious. Now the strategic form of Nanzhili and Zhejiang is too good, basically there is no Qing army, plus the eastern part of Zhejiang is a righteous army, only a few prefectures and cities are in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the ruling foundation is very weak, this time is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition to occupy Nanjing.
But if there is a conflict with the Zheng family, it will benefit the Manchu fishermen, after all, the Zheng family is weak, and there are more than 200,000 troops there, and Zhu Hongsan can't pacify the Zheng family without one to two years of effort. And the Manchus in the north will take advantage of the opportunity when they were dragged by the Zheng family to ease their breath. After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty now controls most of China, and its overall strength is still above Zhu Hongsan, who only occupies one province, so ignoring the Yongli regime of the Zheng family and Huguang, he will go all out to defeat the Qing army in Nanzhili, and then occupy the richest provinces in China, Zhejiang and Nanzhili, and use the money and resources of Nanyang to drag the Manchu Qing down, which is Zhu Hongsan's grand strategy.
So just now, when Zhu Hongsan saw the Zheng family's sailors approaching, he immediately ordered his warship to fire a warning gun and drive away the Zheng family from a distance.
After passing through the most dangerous Quanzhou Mansion is Fuzhou Mansion, from this point on, there is basically no force on the sea that can threaten the Guangdong Navy, and some small pirates have seen from afar that a fleet of this size has already run away, and they dare to pick up the tiger's whiskers.
When passing through the sea off Quanzhou, Cao Fang asked on the side: "Emperor, there is Fuzhou Mansion in front, do you want to go and see Princess Yuyang?" β
Thinking of his precious daughter who was suffering from life, Zhu Hongsan sighed, he had never suffered such a big loss in his life, his wife was killed, his daughter was arrested, and now he has a child.
Now listening to Cao Fang talk about the sad thing, Zhu Hongsan shook his head slightly, "No need, now that Xiao Yu'er is pregnant, she should be about to give birth, so don't go." How is Li Yuanyin doing to my daughter? β
As Zhu Hongsan's favorite daughter, Zhu Yu naturally has secret agents from Dongchang and Jinyiwei by his side. Cao Fang heard Zhu Hongsan ask and quickly replied: "Back to the emperor, Li Yuanyin is very good to the princess, the old slave has inquired, Li Yuanyin had several wives and concubines and children in his early years, but they all disappeared in the war, so he is very respectful to the princess, Li Chengdong is also ready to find him a few concubines, but they were all resigned by Li Yuanyin!" β
Hearing that Li Yuanyin was good to his daughter, Zhu Hongsan felt a lot better.
"Humph! This Li Chengdong really doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and he dares to find a woman to compete with my daughter for a husband! β
Cao Fang observed the words and saw that Zhu Hongsan was angry, and asked in a low voice: "Emperor, Li Chengdong killed the queen, do you want to..." β
Zhu Hongsan heard that Cao Fang was going to kill Li Chengdong, now is not the time, now his own power is really weak, if there is no Li Chengdong, a typical existence of a daughter who buys bones, who will dare to take refuge in himself in the future? Li Chengdong not only can't move, but also has to give him high-ranking officials to support him!
"No, Li Chengdong don't move, you give the order to ensure that Li Chengdong is absolutely not in danger!" At this time, if something happens to Li Chengdong, it must be counted on Zhu Hongsan, so it is necessary to ensure that Li Chengdong is alive and well.
After passing through Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian is Fujian's Funing Prefecture, which is close to Zhejiang, and after that, it enters the war zone, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang has not yet formed a solid rule. But after all, it entered the war zone, so the fleet had to replenish fresh water and fresh vegetables at the Beacon Gate Water Village outside Funing Prefecture. After all, the fleet has 50,000 people, and the daily consumption is still considerable.
Beacon Gate Water Village is one of the five major water villages in Fujian, built in Yongle 28 years, under the Fujian Division, but after more than 100 years of military equipment and slack, Beacon Gate Water Village is less and less important to the imperial court, in the orthodox years only one left to keep the general guard. However, in the Jiajing period, the rise of the Japanese invaders, the role of the beacon gate water village was highlighted. In June of the 26th year of Jiajing, the imperial court sent Zhu Kun, the right deputy capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, to inspect Zhejiang, and concurrently to supervise the military of Fujian's five prefectures: Fu, Xing, Zhang, Quan, and Jianning. In March of the 28th year of Jiajing, Zhu Kun inspected the coastal defense situation in Funing, and selected Dongchong Aoli Village to build Guanjing Yangshui Village. That is to say, with the Fenghuomen Water Village as the center, the Liujiang Water Village in the north and the Guanjing Yang Water Village in the south, so that the north and the south are connected into one gas. The water village is about to be built, but Zhu Kun will not be an official, and he was arrested by Jiajing and cut off his head before the water village was built.
After the pacification of the Japanese Kou, the Fenghuomen Water Village took the old road again, and the imperial court had no money during the Chongzhen period, and of course this useless coastal defense unit had to be abolished, and hundreds of thousands of post guards were dismissed, and these hundreds of people were missing? Therefore, the Beacon Gate Water Village was completely abandoned.
It was not until Zhu Hongsan occupied Guangdong and sent a fleet to Zhoushan as a base to prepare for a counterattack on Nanzhili, in order to guard against the Zheng family forces in Fujian, the Fenghuomen Water Village was used again by the Guangdong Navy, and now it has become a relay station on the sea route between Zhoushan and Guangdong, and there are 200 sailors stationed in the water village all year round, as well as two small gunboats of 100 tons.

bsp; Beacon Gate Water Village had already received the news that the fleet was coming, purchased a large number of fresh vegetables, and waited until the fleet arrived and began to ship.
The fleet stayed here at the Beacon Gate for three days, and it was not a good thing to travel long distances by ship in this era, and the sailors of the navy could do it, but the other more than 20,000 army soldiers could not stand it.
By the time the repairs here were completed, it was already 20 September, and the Guangdong Navy began to anchor and set off, officially entering the Zhejiang Theater.
Close to Fujian is the Wenzhou Mansion of Zhejiang, this place belongs to the south of Zhejiang, the main battlefield of Zhejiang is in Shaoxing, Taizhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Jiaxing in the east of Zhejiang, Wenzhou here is quite peaceful. Several Qing army posts along the coast saw the black convoy and fled in fright, probably going to Fucheng to report the news. Zhu Hongsan didn't care about them, his primary goal was Zhoushan.
Further north, Taizhou and Ningbo, two places where the rebels resisted fiercely, and several fishing villages along the coast appeared to have been burned down, and the fishermen did not know where they went. When passing by Changguowei, Ningbo Prefecture, Zhu Hongsan saw that the entire Changguo County was burned, and it was dark from a distance, and he didn't want to look like a living person.
Zhu Hongsan didn't know what it was, so he pointed to the ruins and asked Zhang Huangyan beside him: "Xuanzhu, you are from Ningbo, where is that place?" It looks like a city! β
"Your Majesty, what you said is Changguowei, don't look at it as just a guard, this place was a county seat at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and it was changed to a guard in order to prevent the Japanese in the Hongwu period, this place originally had more than 20,000 people, and it was a prosperous county, but I didn't expect it to become a ghost now, and it seems that there is no living person!"
Zhu Hongsan remembered that he asked Jinyiwei to assist the rebels in eastern Zhejiang, Songjiang and Changshu, how could there be assistance like this?
Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Lide, the commander of the Jinyi Guard on the side, and asked, "Qian Fatty, didn't I ask you to send weapons to the rebels?" β
Qian Lide complained bitterly, the emperor said so back then, but within a few months, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was in Ningbo to supervise the country, and the emperor reduced his support for the righteous army in order to let the Manchu Qing go south to eliminate the king of Lu. But Qian Lide dared to say these words, isn't this trapping the emperor in injustice!
Qian Lide gritted his teeth, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has limited funds, in addition to eastern Zhejiang, there are also northern provinces, Jiangxi, Huguang and Jinyiwei support, so there are fewer here in Ningbo!" β
Zhu Hongsan listened to Qian Lide's reasoning, and suddenly remembered that he secretly ordered not to support Zhedong back then, just to borrow Man's hand to eliminate King Lu, but afterwards he forgot to resume aid to Zhedong, and now he remembered when he heard Qian Lide say this. But now that he is surrounded by civil officials, Zhang Huangyan, a native of Ningbo, is still looking at himself, and he is really embarrassed to admit that he ordered it, and there is no choice but to let Qian Lide carry the black pot.
"Humph! Qian Lide, now that the war is about to start, I will remember you first, and I will settle accounts with you after the end! Zhu Hongsan said simply, but he didn't expect Zhang Huang to listen to it because Qian Lide did not follow the emperor's order to aid eastern Zhejiang, and when he saw the burned Changguo county town in the distance, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Qian Lide for his inaction, resulting in countless casualties among the people of eastern Zhejiang!" β
Zhang Huangyan said this, but Zhu Hongsan was embarrassed, Qian Lide was executed according to his orders, and he couldn't push his subordinates out to block the gun, so that he would work for himself in the future, and he would not be the same as the unlucky emperor Chongzhen.
"Xuanzhu, I have already said that now is not the time, and I will talk about it later!"
"But Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people in eastern Zhejiang died tragically under the sword of the Qing army because they had no weapons, what should they do? Please ask Your Majesty to severely punish Qian Lide! β
Seeing Zhang Huangyan kicking his nose on his face, Zhu Hongsan was a little unhappy, he had already made it clear that he wanted to protect Qian Lide, couldn't this Zhang Huangyan see it?
"Xuanzhu, don't say it, I have my own decision!"
Qian Lide saw that Zhang Huangyan was still unrelenting, and he had to cure his own crimes, not only did he resent in his heart, but since you Zhang Huangyan didn't leave me a way to live, then don't blame me.
Qian Lide said on the side: "Lord Zhang is so unrelenting, I don't think I'm worried about the people of eastern Zhejiang!" Are you still nostalgic for the days when Ningbo accompanied King Lu? β
Qian Lide's words were ruthless, although everyone present knew that Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was killed by Zhu Hongsan, but on the surface, it was still necessary to say that Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, died of illness. But now Qian Lide said that Zhang Huangyan is still missing King Lu, is he going to do something to betray Zhu Hongsan?
Zhu Hongsan's eyelids jumped when he heard Qian Lide say this, he was most afraid that his subordinates would not be loyal enough to him, and if he found out, he would definitely kill the wrong person and not let it go.
"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Hongsan said it lightly, and he was happy twice, but those who are familiar with him know that this guy is a typical smiling tiger, and now he has moved to kill.
