Nima, watching Wu Sangui gouge out his eyeballs stiffly, buddy, I was really scared.

As for him saying that he was going to kill me, I was really not afraid.

"Come on, kill me! Anyway, Lao Tzu won this battle, and it was worth it to die. Hahaha! ”

I laughed heartily, my heart filled with joy.

You must know that before this, I had never dared to fight, I always felt that I didn't know martial arts, and I would definitely lose the war.

It wasn't until the end of this battle that I realized that fighting a war is not the same as fighting, fighting a war depends on strategy, and fighting depends on force.

As soon as I finished speaking, dozens of arrows suddenly shot towards Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui kept resisting with a knife.

"Hurry up!"

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth angrily and shouted, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Zheng Chenggong has already been killed, if he doesn't leave, he will only have a dead end.

He threw his eyeballs on the ground with a thud, and then, escorted by the soldiers, the prancing horse galloped wildly.

As soon as he left, Zheng Chenggong ran over and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, we won, we won!" ”

Although Zheng Chenggong was happy, I didn't relax in the slightest, but said: "It is said that 'it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord'." Although we broke the siege of Wu Sangui's 100,000-strong army, if we don't capture him today, I won't be reconciled! ”

After speaking, I got on the horse again and chased after Zheng Chenggong and others.

However, at this time, Wu Sangui had already fled, and we couldn't catch up at all, so we could only turn the horse's head and return to Ningde City.

After returning to the city, the soldiers of the Ming army shouted long live to me, and the whole morale reached its peak.

Not to mention these soldiers, even Zheng Chenggong, who has been in a hundred battles, didn't expect that my buddy and I would be able to break Wu Sangui in this ruined battle.

And after this battle, I myself am full of confidence.

But instead of celebrating the accomplishments, I gathered the crowd together to discuss what to do next.

The opinion of Zheng Chenggong and others is that although the battle has been won now, the Ming army lacks supplies, and if it continues to fight, it may not be able to hold on.

Their advice does make sense, but buddy, I don't think so.

In my opinion, the morale of the Ming army is now booming, and Wu Sangui's main force has been lost, although he previously occupied the three cities of Jinhua, Lishui, and Quzhou.

But there are not many soldiers and horses in these three cities, and we can take them down in one go.

At the same time, taking these three cities can push the defense chain of the Ming Dynasty more than 300 kilometers north, which is of great strategic significance.

In view of this, he once again ordered the three armies to storm Lishui.

I thought that Wu Sangui was hiding in Lishui and it should be difficult to capture the city, but it only took two days for Tian Wen, the defender of Lishui, to obediently go out of the city and surrender, and then the army occupied Lishui and continued to attack Jinhua in the north.

The situation in Jinhua is the same as that of Lishui, because there is no heavy guard, the Ming army broke through the city in less than half a day, and I personally killed the generals who defended the city.

After taking the two cities of Jinhua and Lishui, the morale of the Ming soldiers was even higher.

Without waiting for my agitation, Zheng Chenggong and others went straight to Quzhou in three ways.

As an important military town in northern Zhejiang, Quzhou had far more soldiers defending the city than Jinhua and Lishui.

The three-way army attacked for more than ten days, but it was impossible to take it.

What's even more fucked up is that because the battle line is too long and the fighting time is too long, the Ming army can't keep up in terms of supplies.

For a while, I was neither advancing nor retreating.

At this very difficult moment, the person who went north to Shengjing to deliver taxes to the Manchus came back and came to me to tell me that Dolgon had sent troops to Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui was said to have led troops from Hangzhou to the north overnight to relieve the siege of Shanhaiguan.

Hearing this, buddy, I was overjoyed, and immediately asked the soldiers to stop the siege of the city, and then sent a messenger into the city to meet Zhou Jie, the guard of Quzhou, and the buddy wanted to talk to him.

After the messenger sent the letter in, the Quzhou guard Zhou Zhuo appeared on the tower of the city.

At first, he was still with me, saying that he would not surrender even if he was killed.

But after I told him that Wu Sangui had gone north to Shanhaiguan and that Quzhou would not receive any support at all, his heart was full of turmoil.

Seeing that he was still wavering, my buddy and I resorted to a bitter trick and invited his old mother outside the city over.

Zhou Jie's old mother is a typical traditional Chinese woman, and after hearing her son's rebellion against the imperial court, she stood under the city crying and scolding.

In the end, under the emotional offensive of the old mother, Zhou Jie, like those murderers who desperately resisted, shed deep tears, and knelt on the city tower and said regretfully: "Mother, the child is sorry for you, the child is sorry for the emperor!" ”

After saying that, he opened the gates of the city, rushed out, and pleaded with me.

Dude, I wanted to kill him, but for the sake of his old mother's face, I let him live and put him in prison.

In this way, in 20 days, I not only broke the main army of Wu Sangui, but also recovered the three towns of Jinhua, Lishui, and Quzhou, and the morale of the Ming soldiers reached an unprecedented peak.

And I myself was full of confidence, and returned to Fuzhou with the triumphant division!

……

When the news of my triumph reached Fuzhou, the whole court was shaken, and the civil and military officials could not believe that Emperor Chongzhen could actually lead troops to fight.

And the moment my buddy stepped into the court, everyone's eyes changed completely.

They found that I was no longer the indecisive Chongzhen I used to be, but an iron-blooded monarch who ruled martial arts and was decisive in killing.

However, the buddy did not rest in the joy of the big victory, but began his next plan.

Although three important towns were recovered, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty, and there was no money and food for marching and fighting.

Now Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou and other places are still under the control of Wu Sangui, and the north of the Yellow River is firmly occupied by Li Zicheng.

If the Northern Expedition wants to regain these lost territories, the first thing to do is to have enough backup supplies.

But now the only place where supplies can be found is Taiwan.

According to historical records, the Netherlands occupied Taiwan for many years, and the silver taels that were robbed at sea alone were enough to cover the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty for a year.

Moreover, Taiwan has never suffered the baptism of war, and the fertile fields are fertile for thousands of miles, and if they are developed, they will be enough to feed the army of the entire Fujian Province.

So after returning to Fuzhou, I decisively made a plan to enter Taiwan.

But what I didn't expect was that the day before I commanded the three armies and prepared to attack Taiwan, Mu Tianbo suddenly came to Fuzhou.

Seeing Mu Tianbo coming, I didn't slack off in the slightest, so I asked him what was going on.

Mu Tianbo said to me nervously: "Your Majesty, after Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, he quickly took Meizhou, Jiazhou, Ya'an and other places. And now the Yi Tusi of Daliangshan has also taken refuge in Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong's army is about to cross the Jinsha River into Yunnan, Yunnan's original strength is insufficient, and some soldiers and horses were transferred to Fujian before, so Tianbo hopes that the emperor can transfer some soldiers and horses to Yunnan, otherwise Yunnan may not be able to resist! ”

Hearing this, buddy, I was shocked!

Because I have been busy dealing with Wu Sangui before, I have forgotten about Zhang Xianzhong's overlord, but I didn't expect him to attack the Jinsha River. You must know that if you cross the Jinsha River, you can go straight to the military strongholds of Yuanmou, Luquan, and Yongren in the north of Kunming.

Once the military strongholds of Yuanmou, Luquan, and Yongren were destroyed, the entire city of Kunming would be in vain.

Thinking of this, I could only endure the pain and return all the soldiers who were transferred from Yunnan to Mu Tianbo.

Although the soldiers from Yunnan were transferred, Mu Tianbo was still worried that Kunming would be broken by Zhang Xianzhong, so he asked me if I could send soldiers and horses from the five provinces south of the Yangtze River to support Yunnan.

To be honest, buddy, I also want to send troops to support, after all, it doesn't do me the slightest benefit that Yunnan is breached.

But right now, I have just recovered the three towns of Quzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the five provinces south of the Yangtze River are all clinging to the recaptured cities, and they can't go to Yunnan at all.

And at present, there is no money in the treasury at all, and even if the army goes to Yunnan, it will not last long without backup supplies.

The only way is to wait for me to recover Taiwan and get supplies, and then rush to Yunnan.

In the end, I was ashamed to tell Mu Tianbo that he should wait a little longer, and when I recovered Taiwan, I would immediately rush to the aid of Yunnan, telling him to resist Zhang Xianzhong's southward movement and never let Yunnan be attacked.

Mu Tianbo agreed to my request, knelt on the ground and told me that even if Mu Wangfu went bankrupt, Zhang Xianzhong would not let Zhang Xianzhong take Yunnan.

Hearing him say this, buddy, I was very moved, and I was convinced of the description of Mu Tianbo in the history books, he was indeed a loyal minister

After Mu Tianbo left, I appointed Zheng Chenggong as the main general, Chen Jinnan as the deputy general, and dispatched 100 warships of the Zheng family and 10,000 elite sailors to personally set off from Xiamen with troops and go straight to Taiwan!
