The defense of Chongming Island, in the end, at the cost of 5,000 casualties of the Ming army, defeated the 100,000 Manchu army, as soon as the news was transmitted back to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the people's anti-Qing upsurge was unprecedentedly high again!

In the previous battle of Yangzhou defense, although Shi Kefa completely annihilated a Manchu vanguard army, it was in an ambush in advance, and it was in the case of more battles and fewer battles to achieve such results. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today's defense of Chongming Island is a real battle, and the Qing army that is several times its own head-on defense, especially when I heard that a chariot battalion of the Qi family army withstood the Qing army ten times as much, so that the entire people in the south of the Yangtze River once again recalled many years ago, General Qi Jiguang, led the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese invaders.

"Brothers, we and the brothers of the Qi family army all came out of the Baoshan military camp, they can win the battle, we can naturally too, we can't embarrass Lord Li, we are the first division of the Tiger Ben, not only to defeat the enemy head-on, but also to outflank and annihilate the enemy army! So, everyone is running, the speed of armed cross-country is so slow, how will the enemy be copied in the future? ”

At the first division of the Suzhou New Army along the Zhenjiang River, the commanders of each regiment regarded the Qi family army as the object of competition and surpassing, and urged their soldiers to pay close attention to various military training..........

On the third day of the victory in the defense of Chongming Island, thousands of warships docked near an island fifty nautical miles east of Chongming Island.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong's more than 1,000 warships (including those who captured the Qing army) did not go south to Fujian, but stayed in the waters near Chongming Island to observe the situation.

"Big brother, the brother sent out sent back the news that the defenders of Chongming Island withstood the attack of the Qing army, and the eldest prince led more than 20,000 soldiers to defeat Li Shuotai's 30,000 army, which can be regarded as a great achievement." Zheng Zhihu said to Zheng Zhilong.

The reason why Zheng Zhilong's fleet did not leave was because he learned of the Qing army's plan to attack Chongming Island.

Tiger poison does not eat children, no matter whether Zheng Chenggong will descend with his father or not, Zheng Zhilong is not willing to watch his son have an accident, so after learning about the plan of the Qing army, although Zheng Zhilong did not inform Qi Hongying in advance, he still asked the Yiying soldiers who stayed by Zheng Chenggong's side to protect him more.

Even in the case of inviolability, Zheng Chenggong's personal soldiers will forcibly take Zheng Chenggong away from Chongming Island.

Zheng Chenggong is only a fledgling now, the so-called pro-soldiers are just dead soldiers arranged by Zheng Zhilong in advance, if Zheng Zhilong does not benefit, these recruits will not stay on Chongming Island with Zheng Chenggong at all.

Now that Zheng Chenggong is fine, he simply let him continue to guard Chongming Island, and before the time is ripe, Zheng Zhilong does not plan to concentrate all his forces together.

"I didn't expect that girl to be so powerful, with 50,000 people, she repelled the 100,000 Qing army." Even Zheng Zhilong admired Qi Hongying a little.

"I heard that their equipment and the training of the new army are all from Suzhou, this Li Menghui seems to be very difficult!" Zheng Zhihu has a deep memory of Li Hongfei.

"Only one or two new armies are not enough to save the Ming Dynasty, just to survive, since the emperor thinks that the Qing court can be defeated with the army, then we might as well continue to watch the show! Third brother, you are familiar with Han Dai, go to make a deal with him, and say that I still have 30,000 naval prisoners here, and ask him if he wants it, a price of 500,000 taels of silver, with 100 Qing army warships. Zheng Zhilong decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In the past, the melee of the sailors was carried out in the Yangtze River, and Zheng Zhilong was the master on the water, if he said that these sailors were all dead, no one dared to doubt it.

After all, water warfare is not as good as land warfare, and the corpses sink into the river to feed the fish, who can find out how many people died?

Now that the Qing army has suffered serious losses, Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to start "human trafficking", although these sailors have no warships, but they are also soldiers, and after being equipped with weapons, they can be quickly incorporated into the battle sequence, which is undoubtedly a new force for the Qing army with serious losses.

"Big brother, this plan is clever! No wonder the previous waste of food to feed these captives, now as soon as it changes hands, it has become a white flower, the Qing army has this group of new forces, it will definitely fight with Nanming endlessly, and when the two sides are exhausted, our Zheng family army will be, a powerful existence that neither of them dares to ignore. Zheng Zhibao exclaimed.

Zheng Zhilong's strategy is not only clever, but also poisonous, what he did before was completely to balance the military strength of the two sides, so that the Manchu Qing and Nanming continue to consume their own strength, so that even if one side wins in the end, it will be a disastrous victory.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong's naval division and army can take the opportunity to occupy a large number of coastal cities in the south, and even without the consent of either party, they can tear the earth and seal the king.

"Okay, since Fusong (Zheng Chenggong's young name) is fine, the matter of negotiating with the Manchu Qing will be handed over to the third brother, and we should also return to Fuzhou, notify the Dutch and retreat quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" Zheng Zhilong said.

It is true that the Dutch soldiers gathered on the Penghu Islands, but this was all arranged by Zheng Zhilong in advance, after all, you have to do a full set of plays!

Occasionally let the Dutch come to the coast to plunder, which not only mixed the other party with oil and water, but also made the Fujian people inseparable from Zheng Zhilong's protection, both sides are beneficial, why not do it?

On the third day of the fourth month of the 18th year of Chongzhen (1645), Zheng Zhilong and other generals who had just returned to Fuzhou City were assassinated by more than 50 assassins when they reached the street near the General Military Mansion.

The assassins first used strong crossbows, bows and arrows to carry out sneak attacks, and then took close combat to attack, and once almost broke through the defense line of the Zheng family's army, but fortunately, Zheng Zhilong accompanied a lot of guards this time, and the soldiers resisted desperately, and the attack location was selected near the General Military Mansion, and finally the guards of the General Military Mansion rescued in time to eliminate all the assassins.

"Damn, these people are all dead soldiers, and when they saw that the assassination was unsuccessful, they all committed suicide by poisoning." Zheng Zhihu said angrily.

He didn't catch a single live mouth, no wonder he was annoyed.

"Forget it, it's the same whether there is a living mouth or not, and the only ones who hate me to the core are Duoduo and Chongzhen." Zheng Zhilong looked at his original carriage, which was shot into a hornet's nest, and said with palpitations.

It was really dangerous just now, if he hadn't been cautious and temporarily changed the carriage before entering the city, it would have been hung up at this time.

"The bows and arrows and crossbows used by these people, could it be that the Manchus wanted the eldest brother to die?" Zheng Zhihu wondered.

"If you want to cover it up, it must be Zhu Youzhen's handwriting, but you don't dare to blatantly attack and kill me, a meritorious man!" Zheng Zhilong didn't have a trace of awe, and called the emperor's name.

In Zheng Zhilong's opinion, even if Duoduo hated himself again, he would not dare to do anything to himself at this critical moment, and only Zhu Youzhen, who was put on his own side, dared to make a dangerous move.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch it alive this time, otherwise I would have been able to take advantage of it!" Zheng Zhihu sighed.

"It's not easy to survive, just catch a few guilty people, the key is that no one will believe it, now you can only suppress this matter, let's say it's a pirate hired by the Dutch!" Zheng Zhilong was reluctant to continue to delve into it.

He doesn't want to rebel now, so he can't reveal the truth, but he can't really push it on the Qing army, doesn't that force him to fight to the death with the Qing army?

This is inconsistent with Zheng Zhilong's idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so he simply threw this black pot to the almighty Dutchman...........
