In May of the eighth year of Yongli, Zheng Tai's fleet returned to Zhongzuo one after another, and the goods sent to Japan, Korea and Ryukyu for sale had already been loaded into Wenzhou, and those who returned directly to Fujian were either used by the Fujian Ming army for their own use, or resold to local merchants in Fujian, as well as Chinese merchants and Taixi merchants in Nanyang. 【】

The resale was only a temporary dock, and the goods for personal use had already begun to be moved off the ship, among which the last batch of armor and weapons brought back from Zhejiang was the most important, and Zheng Chenggong specially sent a large group of personal soldiers to supervise it to prevent loss and damage.

Just when the wharf was busy, a group of green battalion soldiers got off the sea ship under the supervision of Zhou Quanbin's Houchong Town and headed for the camp assigned to them.

“…… The special order of Ru Guan Xuanyi Qianzhen is also in charge of the iron horse, and the name of the minister is Xing. ”

This Qing army was the previous Zhoushan Green Battalion, Chen Wen killed the soldiers of the Tibiao Battalion, and the act of killing the Tian Ambition to sacrifice the martyrs of Siming Lake caused great panic among Ba Chenggong and his subordinates, and even feared that Chen Wen would break the contract, so he simply set off without even packing up a lot of belongings. After leaving Zhejiang, they took a boat all the way south, and soon arrived at the Zhongzuo Institute. And when the deputy general of Zhoushan, Ba Chenggong, bowed down in front of Zheng Chenggong and accepted the appointment and name, this Mongolian man and the green battalion soldiers under his command also officially became a member of the Fujian Ming Army.

Ba Chenggong, now Ba Chenxing was taken down by Zheng Chenggong's staff to receive military uniforms and other things, and Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai, two cousins, talked about this trip to Zhejiang.

"Brother, Chen Wen really defeated the Eight Banners Army with less?"

"If this is true, it is in Siming Lake. Now that I think about it, it was also the tens of thousands of unjust souls who asked for their lives four years ago, and they really responded to the old saying, it's not that they don't report it, but the time has not come. ”

After receiving this answer, Zheng Chenggong was silent for a moment before turning to Zheng Tai and asking, "It's unimaginable that Zhejiang's armor is so strong. But now that I think about it, it was also the Tartars' cavalry advantage that could not be brought into play, and it was limited by the terrain. ”

"That's true, but the foolish brother has seen Chen Wen's sand table and heard him say that Siming Lake is surrounded by hundreds of miles, either plains with water networks or large areas of mountains and forests. Although Siming Lake is a lake, it is not big, the surrounding terrain is flat, and there are very few rivers. However, Chen Wen's infantry was too fierce, and Na Dasu was not unjustly defeated. ”

"I see." Zheng Chenggong nodded. "Now that Chen Wen has no military pressure on the northern front, is it to enter Hangjiahu and fight a decisive battle with the Tartars in the south of the Yangtze River, or to enter Jiangxi in the west and make a difference with that Hongheng, does he mention it?"

Hearing Zheng Chenggong's question, Zheng Tai shook his head and said, "No, as soon as the Zhoushan incident came out, I was not embarrassed to ask him again." ”

Being able to force a cavalry general like Ba Chenggong to submit is a great thing for the Fujian Ming army, but this matter of snatching food from the tiger's mouth is indeed not conducive to the relationship between Chen and Zheng Alliance. After last year's large purchase and the receipt of goods in the first half of this year, just reselling the goods back and forth should be able to make a profit of nearly one million taels this year, and this is also the reason why Zheng Tai must give Zhoushan to Chen Wen.

Zhoushan, for the Ming Army in Zhejiang, is the gateway to the sea, dominating the door of other people's homes, don't think about buying and selling seriously.

"These Zhejiang-made weapons and equipment are all very sophisticated, and they are indeed much stronger than those purchased from Japan."

"Exactly." Speaking of this, Zheng Tai suddenly remembered something. "Brother Fool went this time and saw huge waterwheels on the banks of the Dongyang River. I heard Chen Wen say that it is a hydraulic workshop, and the rough processing of weapons and armor is done there, which is far faster than manual work. ”

"Oh?"

This matter attracted Zheng Chenggong's attention, especially when Chen Wen's order could be completed so quickly, and when he got the answer, he began to think about getting these things up in Fujian. But after thinking about it, he now only has half of the territory of Zhangzhou Mansion, and the water resources are not comparable to Chen Wen, who dominates the eight prefectures in eastern Zhejiang. What's more, there is also the problem of raw materials.

"When we regain some lost ground, we can do this too."

"That's what the foolish brother thinks, too."

"In that case, the Iron Man Army must also hurry up and train. At the end of the year before last, we lost a lot of veterans, and the Geng family's dog cubs were still stuck in Quanzhou and did not leave, which is really hateful. ”

Zheng Chenggong's dislike of Geng Jimao, in addition to the traitors and the battle of Tong'an at the end of the previous year, the peace between him and the Manchus from last year to this year was originally intended to take this opportunity to enter the Manchu occupied areas and loot more resources to enhance their strength.

That's what he did in history, but the original timeline Geng Jimao was not in Fujian, and now the vassal king of the Jingnan Domain has regarded Fujian as his own territory, so that although the mobile troops of the Qing army in Fujian have been beaten into by Chen Wen, the Geng family's army has interfered with Zheng Chenggong's looting plan again and again, making his harvest really low. It can even be said that if it were not for the development of sea trade with Zhejiang, the negotiation of peace would also be able to open up part of the market in Fujian, and this negotiation would be a complete loss-making transaction.

"Big Wood, are you sure this Iron Man Army is useful? I don't think there's a horse chopping knife in Zhejiang. ”

This cousin of his is proficient in all kinds of business matters, but he is really not good at training and using soldiers.

"Don't worry, this is the case with the Mo Knife Formation in the Tang Dynasty, I have specially reduced the blade by one foot, in order to facilitate practice. The cavalry of the Shang Geng family must be like chopping melons and vegetables. ”

Zheng Chenggong's confidence soon infected Zheng Tai, the latter thought carefully, the general tactics of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were the same, and now they can defeat the Qing army repeatedly, the Great Western Army has war elephants and Luo Luo, and the Zhejiang side is the Mandarin Duck Array and the Spear Formation, the rattan armor soldiers in their hands are also shining in the fifth year of Yongli and the sixth year of Yongli, and they have beaten the Fujian Green Battalion.

"Then, how should the King of Xining reply?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, especially since we're still negotiating peace with the Tartars, it's hard to leak the rumors, let's talk about it later. Besides, without the help of the Qin Domain, perhaps, the siege of Xinhui planned by the in-laws this time, I am afraid that it will be as anticlimactic as the siege of Zhaoqing last year. ”

"Da Mu, what you said is reasonable, if you run for nothing, not to mention the consumption on the road, just by dispatching merchant ships to transport troops, you have to transport how many goods you have to lose, and you really can't afford to pay for it."

………………

At the same time, Gaozhou Mansion, a land located in the southwest of Guangdong, the Qing army no longer existed, and some were only subordinate to the southwest Ming army under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Xining.

After half a year of preparations, Li Dingguo led a large army from Liuzhou, Guangxi, equipped with elephants and cannons, to Hengzhou in the south, and attacked the Lianzhou Mansion through Lingshan in Guangdong.

Immediately afterwards, the army went to Gaozhou, the Qing Gaozhou guard Zhang Yue and the deputy general Chen Wu and Li Zhizhen of the Pingnan Wang Domain supervised the troops to the Qingtou camp in Shicheng to hold it, and was defeated by the Ming army, Li Zhizhen fled to Dianbai County in the southeast of Gaozhou, Zhang Yue sent a messenger to surrender, Chen Wu was hacked to death, and Gaozhou was occupied by the Ming army. As Gaozhou fell into the hands of the Ming army, Leizhou Mansion, located on the Leizhou Peninsula, became an enclave.

Gao and Lei were established, and Li Dingguo went to Gaozhou on the third day of March, and volunteers from all over Guangdong responded. However, the Manchu mobile forces in Guangdong, the feudal soldiers of the king of Pingnan, the governors, promoters and fubiaos of Guangdong, did not dare to fight, for fear that the vassal kings would be killed again and the province would be defeated, so they were forced to concentrate their forces to defend the core occupation area centered on Guangzhou, and Pegasus asked the Qing court for help.

However, it took a lot of time to travel from Guangdong in Tiannan to Beijing, and then Beijing ordered the nearest reinforcements, and it was often not urgent.

In the battle of Zhaoqing in history, Shang and Geng urgently called for help, the Ming army attacked in March, and was defeated in April, but in May the Qing court ordered the Jiangning garrison Manchu army to go to help, and when he arrived in Guangdong, he only caught up with the mess and wiped out Hao Jiushang in Chaozhou by the way. As Chen Wen's threat to the southeastern core occupation area became more and more great, in the Battle of Zhaoqing last year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not even dare to dispatch the Four Banners of Jiangning's left flank.

Since Li Dingguo was stationed in Gaozhou, the Ming army vigorously mobilized in the four prefectures of Gaolei and Lianqiong and the half of Guangxi occupied by Li Dingguo to prepare for the next siege. Last year, Li Dingguo was because he underestimated the enemy and looked down on Shang Kexi, who was inferior to Kong Youde in terms of military means, and thought that Guangdong could be destroyed like Guangxi the year before, so he was not prepared; this time he prepared for half a year in advance, and now he is waiting for Zheng Chenggong's reinforcements to carry out another round of mobilization, in order to be able to recover the entire Guangdong in one war.

"Your Highness, this is the number of door panels collected from various places so far, please take a look."

Food, iron, lead, and military shoes are all within the range of collection, and the door panel can also be used as a shield, so naturally it cannot be missed. Especially this time, Li Dingguo is determined to complete his work in one battle, and he must be prepared to be foolproof.

The person who spoke was a student from Huguang, called Peng Xuanfei, a person from Yongzhou Mansion, who was a scholar who came to serve after Li Dingguo won the victory in Hengyang, and now he is a petty officer in the army who handles logistics.

"Ahem, it's Mr. Peng."

Li Dingguo arrived in Gaozhou in March, and fell ill in April, and now it has been a month, and many famous doctors have been invited for this disease, but it has never been cured. Perhaps, this is also due to the fact that Li Dingguo has always worked hard in the pre-war preparations and has not been able to get a good rest, but according to the current medical situation, God knows if he will not be able to catch up with the plan to send troops in June.

After taking over the summary handed over by Peng Xuanfei, the number of door panels collected in several counties in Gaozhou has been exhausted in Li Dingguo's eyes, and the difference is only a few neighboring prefectures. However, after reading this summary, Li Dingguo is a little more at ease. According to this number, if Leizhou, Lianzhou, and the prefectures and counties along the way are collected, the army should be enough to spend, and it should be able to support the righteous army that came to join in Guangdong.

"There's Mr. Laupen."

"Don't dare, this is what a student should do, Your Highness has an overreputation."

With the background of the rogue, but Li Dingguo is full of loyalty, and he also has great respect for them as scholars, all of which is seen in Peng Xuanfei's eyes, and he firmly believes that those civil officials and staff members in Li Dingguo's curtain privately evaluate - although this king of Xining is the righteous son of the traitor Zhang Xianzhong, he must have been forced to be a thief in desperation, and he will inevitably be a good general of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so they also worked harder to raise military supplies for Li Dingguo and contact the local gentry. So that this army of 40,000 or 50,000 people was able to cut off food and grass in the rear base, and only half of Guangxi could support it for such a long time.

"Your Highness, for the sake of national affairs, you should also take care of your body."

"Mr. Peng is reasonable, this king has seen these newly delivered military information, so he went to rest, cough cough."

With Li Dingguo's cough, Peng Xuanfei saluted respectfully before leaving the humble line and returning to the usual office of the officials in charge of military quartermasters. Before leaving, he even looked for Lang Zhong, who was in charge of taking care of him, and asked him a little.

"Zhenhua, how is His Highness's illness?"

These civilian officials are all responsible for the summary of the military supplies collected, and in the past two months, Gaozhou has almost everything that can be collected, and the rest is to wait for the materials from Leizhou and Lianzhou to arrive, but now they are idle.

"It's still the same, Lang Zhong said that it is not good at all, and he also said that His Royal Highness still works state affairs every day and has too little rest."

"Then I'll persuade you later."

As he spoke, several civil officials got up and wanted to leave, but they were stopped by Peng Xuanfei.

"I have already persuaded it today, His Highness said that he would go to rest after seeing the newly arrived military situation, and it has finally worked, and further persuasion will only displease His Highness."

"What Zhenhua said is very true, so let's see the situation."

Although he is a martial artist, Li Dingguo, who is a famous king and can treat scholars well, is a rare hero in the eyes of these young civil officials. Today, Li Dingguo listened to the advice, and everyone more or less calmed down. After all, this war is about to start soon, and without Li Dingguo commanding at the front, the odds of victory will be much worse, and the success rate of recovering Guangdong in one fell swoop and opening up the situation will be a little smaller.

"I heard that the Duke of Xiuguo in Zhejiang also wrote a letter to His Highness the year before last, inviting His Highness to join forces to attack Jiangxi."

The civil official who spoke was a scholar from Yunnan, and he entered Li Dingguo's curtain relatively early, while other civil officials basically entered the curtain before and after the two famous kings, and those like Peng Xuanfei who were after the great victory in Hengyang accounted for the majority.

"And this?"

The civil official nodded, and then said: "I remember, Xiu Guogong's messenger seems to have delivered the letter close to Hengyang Dajie. If he counted the distance, it was as if he had predicted that His Highness would win. ”

"How is this possible?"

The unpredictable prophet was scoffed at by everyone when he landed, but after thinking about it, even a cunning figure like Hong Chengchou did not succeed in his calculations last year, maybe the Ming army marshal who was far away in Zhejiang really had this kind of means.

"Now that I think about it, it seems that attacking Jiangxi back then was not bad. His Royal Highness is a famous king twice, and the use of soldiers is second to none in the world; And that Xiu Guogong is not weak, he has been entrenched in Zhejiang for many years, and he can't help it when he meets several times. If the two strong join forces, a Jiangxi is not yet captured, and the lower reaches of Jiangxi, it is Nanzhili, and the land of Emperor Gao's Longxing has been restored, and the King of Qin has no reason to let the Son of Heaven live in the broken place of Anlong Qianhu. ”

"That is, that is, Jiangnan is rich, and Zhejiang is not bad. In one fell swoop, when the time comes, His Royal Highness and Xiu Guogong, a king of Zhongshan, and a king of Kaiping, will follow the route of Emperor Gao's Northern Expedition to the north, and they will be able to drive the Tartars back to the Guanwai. ”

"The ancestor of Xiuguo is the general of the King of Qiyang."

"The King of Qiyang is not bad, he is also the founding general of our Ming Dynasty, and the Tartars are by no means their opponents."

“……”

Guangdong has been in tatters for a long time, especially in the western part of Guangdong, where the Ming and Qing armies have been tugging for many years, and the local authorities really can't bear to look at it directly. Since the collapse with Sun Kewang, the latter has cut off Yungui's grain and grass support for Li Dingguo's department, and it is really stretched thin to rely on only half of Guangxi.

In comparison, Nanzhili and Zhejiang are the richest places in the world. With money and food, you can recruit soldiers, plus the cooperation of two famous generals, no matter how you look at it, it is better than attacking Guangdong.

Several civil officials chattered and pointed out the country, as if the world was in their hands, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. It wasn't until a moment later that a civilian official realized that the plan had been vetoed by Li Dingguo.

"Your Highness shouldn't be mistaken, it may be safer to attack Guangdong."

Hearing this, Peng Xuanfei thought about it, nodded solemnly, and said: "Guangdong is Jiangxi in the north, and it can also be connected with Zhangguo Gong in Fujian. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately echoed them, and among these voices, all Peng Xuanfei heard was about Li Dingguo's infinite trust and knowledge. After all, the two famous kings, the owners of the best record against the Eight Banners Army so far, naturally firmly believe that Li Dingguo will be able to continue to create the next military miracle in Guangdong.
