The news of Zheng Haikou's large-scale attack on Huguang, Hankou, and Yueyang was successively sent to Shunzhi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On this day, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was discussing the matter of sending troops to recover with Sony, Suke Saha, Fan Wencheng and other henchmen in the south study.

Suddenly, the voice of the imperial guard was heard outside the door.

"Emperor Qi, the secretary of the military department, Kadahun, asks to see you!"

"The military department is still in the book, what is he doing here?" Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Biography! ”

After a short time, Kadahun hurriedly ran into the south study.

"Panicked, what kind of system?" Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty opened his mouth and scolded.

Kadahun's face was extremely pale, his eyes showed a panicked look, he fell to the ground with a "plop" and said sadly, "Your Majesty, Zheng Haikou broke Guiyang, Wu Sangui fled to Chongqing, and Hong Chengchou died in battle!" ”

Emperor Shunzhi didn't come to his senses for a while, and asked anxiously with a little astonishment: "What's wrong with Guiyang?" ”

When several people in the south study heard the news, their faces changed drastically, with a look of disbelief on their faces, and their eyes stared straight at Kadahun.

"Guiyang has been captured by Zheng Haikou, and Hong Chengchou has been killed!" Kadahun said again.

"What ???" Emperor Shunzhi of Qing immediately exclaimed, stared straight at him, and asked sharply, "You say it again!" ”

"Guiyang has been captured by Zheng Haikou, and Hong Chengchou has been killed!" Kadah said in a mournful voice.

"Guiyang has fallen? Hong Chengchou was killed? After confirming the news again, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty trembled, and then sat back in his seat in despair, and kept saying, "How can my Great Qing Iron Cavalry be so miserably defeated, my Great Qing Iron Cavalry ......"

"Your Majesty......" Sonny said to Emperor Shunzhi sadly, "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, we should consider how to deal with it!" ”

"Kadahun!" Emperor Shunzhi heard the shouting, "Tell the beginning and end of the fall of Guiyang, there must be no omission!" ”

"Yes!" Kadahun told the whole process of sending people to understand the matter, from the siege of Guiyang by the Zheng family's army, Hong Chengchou's insistence, Wu Sangui's army to help, to the artillery bombardment of the Zheng family's army, the defeat of Wu Sangui's army, to the death of Hong Chengchou, he said it carefully.

After Kadahun finished speaking, the entire southern study was silent, and Emperor Shunzhi, Sony, and Suke Saha were all stunned.

Shunzhi waved his hand and said slowly. "Kada Hun up!"

"Lord Ka, are you sure that Zheng Haikou's artillery is really so powerful?" When Kadahun stood up and stood aside cautiously, Fan Wencheng asked in a deep voice.

"Exactly! Before I came, I had asked those spies in detail, and I had also found those defeated soldiers to compare, although I had never seen the power of Zheng Haikou's artillery, but listening to the descriptions of those defeated soldiers, I could be sure that the power of the artillery was extraordinary! Kadahun replied.

Fan Wencheng said worriedly, "I have long heard that Zheng Haikou's firearms are sharp, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce. Your Majesty, Zheng Haikou's firearms are a great scourge to our Qing Dynasty, and if you want to deal with Zheng Haikou, you must first deal with that firearm. ”

"Master Fan, is there any way to deal with those pirates!" Emperor Shunzhi sat on the dragon chair and asked solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the minions heard that the Daming Shenwei cannon was an imitation of those Western ghosts, and the minions thought that Zheng Haikou's artillery would be so powerful, and it should have been purchased from the Western ghosts. I can also buy from those ghosts in the Qing Dynasty and copy them myself. In this way, if you don't lose to the Zheng family's army, plus my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry, you will definitely be able to eradicate Zheng Haikou! Fan Wencheng said.

Kadahun also said, "Your Majesty, in addition to artillery, my Qing Dynasty lacks the ability to fight water, and this time Zheng Haikou's sneak attack on Hankou also relied on his Haikou ships. I heard that Zheng Haikou has conquered a territory no less than the size of China overseas. Although it is exaggerated, it shows that its territory is not small. If we want to eradicate Zheng Haikou, I still need to have a capable sailor in the Qing Dynasty. to be effective! ”

It's a sailor again, and when he heard Kadahun's cliché, Shunzhi said expressionlessly, "Then according to your words, how long does it take to train a capable sailor." ”

Kadahun looked at Shunzhi and said cautiously: "In the opinion of a servant, there is no one in my Manchu Qing who understands water warfare, and the admiral of the navy still has to look for it from among the Han generals." Recruiting soldiers who understand the nature of water and forming a large clear water division in Shandong or Tianjin should be effective in three to five years. ”

"Three or five years! Before I finish the training of the Great Qing Shui Division and solve the Zheng Haikou Water Division, I am afraid that my Great Qing Dynasty will be defeated first! Shunji roared hoarsely.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Zheng Haikou may not dare to continue to go north, but he is afraid that he will have to cultivate for three or five years before he dares to continue to lead troops to offend my Qing Dynasty?" Sony harmonies and comforts Shunji.

"Why is that?" Shunji asked.

"After the siege of the city and the land, it needs to be garrisoned by soldiers and horses. Even Zhanhuguang and Gangui, Zheng Haikou's troops are probably overstretched. If he continued to go north, not only would the place he had just conquered be unstable, but his forces would also be more dispersed, and with Zheng Haikou's always cautious and cautious character, he would not have taken such a risk. Moreover, the terrain of the north is very different from that of the south, and we still have an army of 300,000 or 400,000 in the Qing Dynasty, so we can't allow him to be presumptuous. If he dares to go north, I will make him have no return. At that time, when our army returns to the division to fight back, won't he bring about his own destruction? Sony calmly analyzed.

"Yes!" Shunji thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Sony's analysis.

Sukhshaha said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Haikou's father is still in our hands. The minion thinks he can use him to make an article! ”

Shunzhi snorted and said, "The ambition of the wolf son, in order to be a thief, even disregarded his biological father, it is simply in vain to be a son of man." ”

After scolding Zheng Chenggong for a while, Shunzhi continued, "I sent people to contact Zheng Chenggong three or four times before, trying to persuade him to submit to him, but he always went against my will, and now that he has gained power, I am afraid that he will not submit to my Qing Dynasty for his father." ”

At this time, I still want Zheng Chenggong to be obedient, don't be too naïve!

Su Keshaha wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, the minions want to make peace with Zheng Haikou and rule the river." ”

Emperor Shunzhi was furious when he heard this, and he vigorously slapped the desk in front of him, making a loud noise that shook the whole hall, and the stone and pen stand on the desk were shocked.

"How can I make peace with a pirate in the Qing Dynasty, my father and my grandfather have worked so hard to build the country, and they must not lose power and humiliate the country in my hands. This matter will be mentioned later! ”

Su Keshaha persuaded bitterly, "Now that the Zheng family army is in power, my Qing Dynasty has suffered great defeats one after another, there are not enough soldiers and horses, morale is low, and it takes time to repair. The peace talks with Zheng Haikou are just to buy time, once I train the sailors of the Qing Dynasty and cast the artillery, I can go south to level Zheng Haikou. ”

Shunzhi heard Suke Saha's explanation, lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "Is Zheng Haikou willing to negotiate peace with me in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

"It should be doable. The southerners are greedy for pleasure, and when they hear that they can negotiate peace, they will gladly agree. The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were not like this, at the beginning of the united resistance, once the danger was lifted, they immediately greedy for pleasure, did not want to forge ahead, and even liked infighting. In the end, it was not for the regime in the north to conquer and perish. Your Majesty, as long as you let those southerners know that it is peaceful, they will inevitably fall, and within a few years, I am afraid that the courage to fight with a gun will be gone. When the time comes, I will go south in the Qing Dynasty, and the world will still be ours. ”

Fan Wencheng also said, "In addition to having an elite army, Emperor Zheng Haikou also has his false reputation, which can fool a large group of fools. Filial piety takes the lead, Zheng Haikou does not care about his father's life and death, and we can also take the opportunity to scare his reputation, so that the world can see his hypocrisy and true colors. Besides, I have raised Zheng Zhilong innocently in the past few years, and I should also make a little contribution. If it's good, if it doesn't work, I don't have anything to lose. At that time, it will be clear that it is impossible for me to negotiate peace with Zheng Chenggong in the Qing Dynasty, and I can take Zheng Zhilong's head to sacrifice the flag to boost morale! ”

Emperor Shunzhi nodded when he heard this, and said, "Fan Aiqing is reasonable, in this case, Suke Saha, I have appointed him as the minister of the Qin Mission, and I will go south to negotiate peace with Zheng Chenggong." Fan Aiqing sent reliable people to contact those Western ghosts to buy artillery, and at the same time asked the craftsmen of the workshop to step up the casting of artillery. Kadahun, you are in charge of selecting the Admiral of the Marine, and you must train a combatant Mariner. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Kesa, Fan Wenchengha and others hurriedly said. (To be continued.) )
