The vague attitude of the national surname brought back by Gui Yongzhi from Xiamen towards supporting the Tang Dynasty surprised Zhou Shixiang, who had just rushed to Liuzhou, Guangxi from Yuanzhou, Hunan, and did not understand how Zheng Chenggong, who had always been regarded by the world as a descendant of Longwu and the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly refused to speak out to express his pro-Tang attitude.

Gui Yongzhi said: "Last year, Zheng Jun went north, and this year he used troops again, and the meaning of the national surname to take the southern capital can be described as resolute. Chen Yonghua, a member of the army with the surname of the country, said to me that the surname of the country was going to take the southern capital and then discuss the matter of supporting the Tang Dynasty with the marshal, so that after the recovery of the southern capital, the Tang Dynasty was more recognized by the world and shocked the world. ”

"Is that really what the country name thinks?" Zhou Shixiang was noncommittal, and vaguely felt that Zheng Chenggong was delaying the matter.

The soldier Dong Changqing shook his head and said: "There is no conflict between using the Yangtze River and supporting the Tang Dynasty, and the marshal does not want the surname of the country to persuade the Tang King to supervise the country, but the surname of the country is unwilling to do this, thinking that there are other plans, or not in favor of supporting the Tang King and the country." The so-called taking the southern capital is just a delay. ”

Zhou Shixiang nodded and asked them, "What do you think the national surname wants to do?" ”

Dong Changqing speculated: "The southern capital is the place where the Taizu is determined, and it is also where the filial piety tomb is located, and it is one of the two capitals of my Ming Dynasty, so the subordinates guessed that after the national surname takes the southern capital, it will support the prison country, so that with the merit of recovering the southern capital, and then with the support of the southeast financial endowment, the prison country supported by the national surname should be more recognized by the military and people of the world, and the southern capital should also be the capital of the Ming Dynasty." In other words, the national surname is far-reaching. ”

Dong Changqing said this, Gui Yongzhi also said: "Dashuai, the king of Jin repeatedly agreed with the national surname to meet in Guangdong, but the national surname was repeatedly delayed, causing the king of Jin to fail in two eastern crusades. Today's delay in supporting the Tang Dynasty may not be due to the unwillingness to be under the marshal. ”

Gui Yongzhi said that the surname of the country is really dark, but after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case, this time the support of the Tang Dynasty is dominated by Zhou Shixiang, if the Tang Dynasty is in charge of the country, it will rely on Zhou Shixiang, just as the Yongli Emperor relies on Li Dingguo, the king of Jin. The surname of the country regards itself as a masterpiece of a generation, the Zheng family is a master of the sea for many years, the Jinxia Navy Division is invincible in the world, and the land division is tens of thousands of elites, except for the territory, which point is weaker than Zhou Shixiang and Li Dingguo. Therefore, what Gui Yongzhi said is really true, the surname of the country refused to respond to Li Dingguo's Eastern Expedition, and refused to respond to Zhou Shi's embrace of Tang, so he refused to live under the two of them and wanted to create a situation for himself. If the surname of the country did not have this thought, why didn't he pay attention to the overall situation back then, and refused to send troops to cooperate with the capture of Guangdong under the repeated urging of the King of Jin?

Zhou Shixiang had no intention of judging the true thoughts of the national surname, but got up and said: "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the national surname always needs to be taken down in Nandu, and then you can't take it, it's useless to say anything." ”

"Marshal, Jinxia has been training the land division in the past few years, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, and there are even more ironclad elite soldiers. When his subordinates came back, Chen Yonghua, who joined the army, took his subordinates to visit the military camp, and his subordinates thought that the morale and equipment of the Zheng army were not weak, and our Taiping Army was even slightly stronger in terms of firearms. Its sailors are even more powerful and artillery, and there is no one on the sea and the river. Chen Yonghua said that Zheng's army should send troops in early June, land on the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang to prepare grain and grass, and then march into the river in August. The people of Jinxia are full of confidence in sending troops to the north this time, and everyone is in the south to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, so their subordinates think that the national surname should be able to successfully capture the southern capital, not for anything else, but for the military and the people's morale. Gui Yongzhi said.

"The national surname has been preparing for the Northern Expedition for several years, and the investment in money and food resources is amazing, and if you can't raise an elite army, the national surname will not be reconciled. After eating and drinking, the morale of the army is high. Zhou Shixiang smiled and didn't say much about whether it was possible for Zheng Jun to take the southern capital.

Gui Yongzhi decided that Zheng Jun would definitely be able to take the southern capital, and he said with some emotion: "In order not to make the soldiers have worries about this Northern Expedition, the national surname is to order all the soldiers' families to accompany the army, and prepare to take root in the southern capital from now on. ”

The commander of the Guangxi Field Corps, who had been sitting on the side and not speaking, heard this, and said with a moved face: "All the family members are with the army? How can the surname of the country be so confused, how can you bring your family members with you when you march and fight, isn't this child's play! ”

Gui Yongzhi was surprised: "Why not? There is a cloud in the art of war, this can be regarded as a broken axe and sinking a boat, with such perseverance and determination, and no worries, the Zheng army must be brave, and take Nanjing only for fear of a drum. ”

Dong Changqing didn't think that it was child's play to bring his family with the army with the national surname, he said to Shizhong: "I don't know about the commander, the national surname led the army outside, and as a result, Jinxia called the Qing army to sneak attack, and the soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. If he knew that the surname of the country was leading the army north, how could he not send troops to attack Jinxia. When the general is out on an expedition, he has to worry about the safety of his relatives in the rear at any time, and this morale will be affected. ”

Yu Shizhong frowned, did not speak, but in his heart he didn't think so, he only felt that there must be hidden dangers in using soldiers like this.

"Don't talk about the surname of the country, since he wants to take down the southern capital and then discuss the matter of supporting the Tang Wang's prison country, let him go, he just refuses to support the Tang Wang's prison country, and Ben Shuai can't help him. Ben Shuai can't wave his division and fight with the country's surname again, that is really hated by relatives, and the enemy is fast. Zhou Shixiang smiled and looked sideways at Yu Shizhong: "What is Commander Yu thinking?" ”

Yu Shizhong said in a sullen voice: "The last general didn't think about anything. ”

Zhou Shixiang looked at him and said slowly: "Ben Shuai knows that you don't approve of supporting the Tang Dynasty and supervising the country, but in the current situation, Yongli has abandoned the country, if no one stands up, what do you think will happen next?" The impact of the Son of Heaven's abandonment of the country is too bad, and Ben Shuai can't help but plan for the great Ming, and it is imperative to support the Tang Dynasty and supervise the country. ”

After hearing this, Yu Shizhong was silent for a moment, and then said again: "Dashuai, the last general thinks that the Luo Tuo Department can be completely annihilated!" ”

Zhou Shixiang nodded slightly and asked him, "What do you want?"

"The handsome Iron Man Guard." Yu Shizhong had already thought about it and blurted out.

"Here you go!"

Zhou Shixiang agreed without hesitation, and said, "I also brought the horse harrier here, and I will also give it to you." For the battle of Roto, Ben Shuai doesn't want the process, as long as the result, you give me a sure that how long it will take Ben Shuai to see the heads of Luo Tuo and Line Guoan! ”

Yu Shizhong groaned slightly, and said categorically: "Seven days!" ”

"In seven days, Ben Shuai will see your good news."

"The last general will not disappoint the handsome!"

"Ben Shuai believes in you."

After Zhou Shixiang finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked out of the hall. He did not come to Liuzhou to eliminate Luo Tuo, but to go to Guangdong to persuade Tang Wang to supervise the country.

Zhou Shixiang did not return to Guangdong alone, but also went with him Pan Yinglong, the eunuch of the loyal battalion supervisor of Kui Donglai, Hong Yuao, the governor appointed by the Yongli court, the minister of the Sichuan and Chu Ministries, Wang Guangxing, the Duke of Jingguo, Liu Tichun, the Duke of Anhui, and He Zhen, the Marquis of Qi, and other loyal battalion generals. In addition, the sixth town of Sunaling, the fifteenth town of Qi Haoling, which was reorganized from the eastward advance detachment, and Shao Chengguo's cavalry town, all returned to Guangdong from Hunan.

As early as when he received the news of Yongli's abandonment, Zhou Shixiang had already decided to adopt Cheng Hanbin's strategy to march to Jiangxi.
