Chapter 684: Ice is strong and crossable, and Providence is there

On the map, the generals are in trouble for choosing a route, and now it is more difficult to take Taiwan, as soon as the "Hector" is in the way, the wind direction is coming from the positive direction, if you want to get rid of the predicament of staying in Penghu and land in Taiwan as soon as possible, you can only make a detour, go around Taipei and other areas, although the Dutch Army Defense and Education Commission is weak, but the trip is too far, time-consuming and laborious, and the enemy also has time to set up defenses, obviously it is not advisable, you can only choose Tainan, and which route is the best to take in Tainan, Zhu Qing and Zheng Chenggong thought for a long time, Suddenly, almost at the same time, they point to a spot on the map!

"Luermen!" Zheng Chenggong and Zhu Qing said in unison.

The two were stunned for a moment by this tacit understanding, and couldn't help but smile.

For Zhu Qing, this judgment stems more from his memory of that period of history, and Zheng Chenggong really understands the strategic position.

"Deer Ear Gate?" Zheng Xuan and the others couldn't help but wonder.

"Yes, Luermen, as long as we cross Luermen, we will have a chance to land on the island." Zheng Chenggong pointed to the Luermen Gate and replied, but he quickly thought again, "But, after passing the Luermen, what point should I land from?" Obviously, Zheng Chenggong was still thinking about it, and choosing the landing site was particularly crucial, so he once again took out the city defense map that He Bin seemed to bring out and studied it with the generals.

For a long time, still hesitating between several ports.

At this time, Zhu Qing quietly pointed to one of the points.

Zheng Chenggong's face was suddenly surprised, "Heliao Port? ”

Zhu Qing smiled and nodded, in fact, Zheng Chenggong thought that after crossing the Luer Gate, he would find an opportunity to outflank the "Hector" in the direction of Penghu, because he felt that if this big guy was not eliminated for a day, Zheng Jun's sailor would have trouble.

But now that Zhu Qing pointed out Heliao Port, Zheng Chenggong was quite surprised.

Seeming to understand Zheng Chenggong's worries, Zhu Qing smiled slightly, "General rest assured, the 'Hector' will not stay still in that place, we will cross the Luermen and land here, they can only rush to help, when the time comes, the two sides will inevitably fight, what we have to do now is probably how to prepare to deal with this big guy." ”

As soon as Zhu Qing said, all the generals nodded one after another, but Zheng Xuan still had doubts on his face, "However, now that the wind and rain are raging, it is not easy to get through Luermen." ”

However, Zhu Qing had already pointed out a feasible route for Zheng Chenggong, and the rest was for Zheng Jun's sailors to conquer all kinds of difficulties and move forward bravely.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong is not a person who gives up easily, these difficulties are compared to the hatred of killing his father, what is the hatred of stealing the country?

Seeing that all the generals were worried about the weather and hesitated, Zheng Chenggong suddenly slammed the desk angrily, "The ice is crossable!" ”

"Providence is there!" Zhu Qing followed the next sentence, which is a historical dialogue for Zhu Qing. However, when he said it at this time, it could not only ease the embarrassing atmosphere between Zheng Chenggong and the generals, but also increase Zheng Chenggong's confidence, after all, Zheng Chenggong needed Zhu Qing's support most at this time!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Qing said, the two looked at each other again, smiled and said nothing, sincere friends, and their hearts are the same.

Seeing that the two generals were so tacit and so confident, Zheng Xuan and the others gradually shut up, after all, no one dared to oppose the decision of these two people, because no one had the ability to preside over the overall situation.

Under the explanations of Zhu Qing and Zheng Chenggong, the generals gradually understood the desirability of this decision, and nodded in agreement.

However, Zheng Xuan still found some problems, for Zheng Jiajun's second-in-command, he naturally has some skills, and he is more responsible, some things, other soldiers dare not directly raise it with Zheng Chenggong, so they will let Zheng Xuan convey it, and at this time, Zheng Xuan and several generals seem to have found a common problem, that is, how to cross Luermen.

Luermen said that it is good or good, the harbor is closed, and it is a veritable safe haven, but it is not good to say that it is not good, that is, it is generally difficult for large ships to pass, especially in the dry season, and large ships can only wait for the high tide time to cross. Now that there is a storm outside, these two days are the high tide period, but crossing the sea in such bad weather is obviously too risky.

In the face of such a grim situation and the hesitation of the generals. Zheng Chenggong slowed down his tone this time, "If God will pay me to calm Taiwan, after driving tonight, the wind and waves will be calm." Otherwise, how could the officers and soldiers sit on the island and starve? ”

In the face of difficulties, Zheng Chenggong once again believed in the will of heaven, naturally, and had his reason, because everyone respected heaven and earth and knew humanity, and paid attention to time, place, and people. Now is the high tide season, this is the time of day; After the Penghu main road was blocked, Luermen was the best route to take Taiwan, which can be described as a desperate place to survive, which is also geographically advantageous; And the officers and men of the Zheng Army Navy are united and determined to recover Taiwan, which is also peaceful. To say that the fly in the ointment is that this storm does not know when to stop, and it is somewhat risky to force it to cross. However, the country has fallen, and the family revenge has not been avenged, what is this risk?

Zheng Chenggong talked bitterly and talked sincerely, Zheng Xuan and the others nodded one after another, "General Qinglong also said that there is a providence." We believe that the sky of the Ming Dynasty has covered the people of the Ming Dynasty. Those foreign hairs are just making waves on the spur of the moment, and when our army lands on the island, it will be when the thieves subside! ”

The three generals have the same idea, and the generals are also much relieved, no matter how bad it is, it can be regarded as doing their best to obey the destiny of heaven! It's better than staying on Penghu Island and waiting for death!

"Listen to the general!" The generals glanced at each other and hugged Zheng Chenggong one after another.

"Good! The ice is strong and crossable, and the providence is there! As long as we work together, I believe that as General Qinglong said, man will win the day! After the generals dismissed the meeting, they went to arrange preparations, and after dark, the army left Penghu and marched towards Luermen! I believe that I will be brave and loyal, protect my family and defend the country, and I will be blessed by Heaven to help me cross the sea! Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and the generals responded.

A brand new program is about to begin. This forced crossing, which is related to the life and death of the Zheng family's army, will come in a few hours.

In order to cope with the harsh environment and the difficult battle, the ghost doctor specially added special medicine to Zhu Qing, so that Zhu Qing quickly gradually recovered his strength.

In the evening, the wind and rain suddenly stopped, and then, a rainbow unexpectedly appeared on the horizon, and on the other side of the rainbow, there was a soft sunset. Zhu Qing, who had almost recovered, couldn't help but walk to the top of Penghu Mountain, looking into the distance, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, Taiwan loomed. If only there were no wars, no oppression and no killings!

"It's beautiful! In the past, in Suzhou and Hangzhou, although it was also surrounded by mountains and rivers, it did not have such a meaning. I heard that the customs and customs on the island are quite legendary, and it seems that there is a chance to take a walk...... "Inadvertently, Chen Yuanyuan also climbed to the top of the mountain, walked to Zhu Qing's side, stopped and looked into the distance, let the sea breeze blow his hair and dress, and let the sunset caress his skin and smiling face. The sea breeze ruffled her hair, blew her clothes fluttering, the sunset infected, and the willow face was pink.

Zhu Qing looked sideways and couldn't help but smile slightly, "There are stories in beautiful places...... As long as we drive out the aggressor, Taiwan will be a better place......"

After Chen Yuanyuan listened, he nodded, and the two stood quietly for a long time, without speaking again, at this moment, standing quietly, it felt very good.

After a long while, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly asked, "By the way, how sure are you about this operation?" ”

Zhu Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she asked this, and only after a moment did he smile and shake his head, "To be honest, I haven't thought about how to deal with the 'Hector', but on the way here, the two sides will inevitably fight, and this battle is a battle of life and death for both sides." ”

"However, you still insist on supporting General Zheng's crossing of the sea." Chen Yuanyuan responded.

Zhu Qing paced a few steps, looked into the distance, and said indifferently, "Even if everyone is against it, he will still cross the sea, after all, it is his hometown." Why don't I give him more faith? ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, "General Zheng is really happy to have a friend like you." ”

Zhu Qing looked at Chen Yuanyuan quietly, and suddenly smiled quietly, "I have a friend like you, and I am also very happy......

After Chen Yuanyuan heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head slightly, and the last touch of the sunset reflected on her face, leaving a touch of crimson.

Once again, the sun was swallowed up, the breeze was blowing harder, and the mountains were getting cooler. Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but hug his body tightly, rubbing his thinly dressed shoulders.

Zhu Qing walked over, took off the cloak on his body, gently draped it on Chen Yuanyuan's body, and said, "It's getting late, it's windy on the mountain, let's go back." ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, followed Zhu Qing's side, walked down the mountain, and returned to the camp.

"General, everything is ready." Back at the camp, Jin Yiwei rushed to report to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing nodded, and went to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong was directing the soldiers to prepare for crossing the sea on the high platform of the ferry at this time, and when he saw Zhu Qing walking over, he hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Zhu, the last battleship has been prepared, and the soldiers are all ready to go." ”

Zhu Qing nodded, picked up his clairvoyance and observed the distance again, his face was quite worried, "It seems that it will be windy and rainy again." ”

Zheng Chenggong also looked at it and sighed lightly, "Could it be that God won't help me?" ”

Zhu Qing smiled indifferently, patted Zheng Chenggong's shoulder gently, and comforted, "God rewards hard work, and things are done by man." I'm sure I'll be able to spend Luermen tonight! ”

After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he immediately regained his confidence and nodded, "Fighting side by side with Brother Zhu, my heart is more down-to-earth, brother." ”

After a while, a brocade-clothed guard suddenly ran to the high platform and walked straight towards Zhu Qing.

"Report to the general, the situation of the enemy ships has been ascertained, they have not been informed of our plan to cross the river, and they have not yet seen the movement of anchor." It turned out that this was a water ghost specially sent by Zhu Qing to keep an eye on the movement of the "Hector".

After Zhu Qing heard this, he nodded, waved his hand to signal him to step back, and turned to Zheng Chenggong and said, "Brother Zhu, you can set sail after dark, and strive to cross the Luermen before the 'Hector' discovers our movements!" ”

"Exactly!" Zheng Chenggong responded excitedly, and then summoned Zheng Xuan to make the final preparations before leaving!

When night fell, Penghu Island became quieter and quieter, and after a while, a sudden wind blew violently, followed by torrential rain......
