Of course, Yang Chao will not be angry with a little girl, on the contrary, he thinks that this wild black girl still has a lot of character.

But soon Yang Chao became depressed.

"This is my niece, who has been farming in the countryside, and her father died of illness a few years ago, so she was sent to my house. Although the personality is a little stubborn, he is diligent in his work, and I hope that the uncle will not give up, and put it by his side to be a girl. ”

The black girl was suddenly unhappy: "Third uncle, aren't you a concubine, I don't do it, and I don't do it." ”

The black girl pouted and became unhappy after speaking.

At this time, how could Yang Chao not understand the situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Last time Zheng Chenggong was in Nanjing, he brought a letter from Zheng Hongkui, saying that he had a niece who was willing to give Yang Chao as a concubine, but Yang Chao didn't agree at that time, and now Zheng Hongkui personally sent someone directly.

Speaking of which, the Zheng family is not at ease, or their current situation makes them very panicked, they must form an alliance with Yang Chao, and is there a more reliable relationship with an alliance than marriage.

Yang Chao cautiously looked at a large number of black girls, and found that this girl was slightly dark in addition to her skin, but her skin was very smooth and clean, exuding a natural smell.

In fact, Zheng's fortune is a matter of the past ten years, and it is normal to have a few poor relatives, Zheng Hongkui is not the head of the Zheng family, so it is more normal, it should be Zheng Hongkui said, it is the daughter of a cousin, it is estimated that she is not a particularly close cousin, otherwise she would not let her children work in the field.

But it won't be too far, otherwise the effect of marriage will be lost. If you don't get it right, it will annoy Yang Chao.

At the same time, this black girl is actually very beautiful, otherwise Zheng Hongkui would not have beaten this niece's idea and asked her to marry Yang Chao as a concubine.

To accept or not to receive. That's a problem, and it's not a problem.

To be hypocritical, Yang Chao feels that he already has one wife and three concubines, his wife is still a princess, and the concubines are all famous prostitutes.

Be realistic. If they don't accept it, the Zheng family will never be able to feel at ease, and they will reach this status. It is inevitable that there will be a taste of political interest exchange in marriage, if you can marry a daughter of the Zheng family and tie the carriage of the Zheng family firmly to your side, this deal is very cost-effective anyway.

"Marquis Zheng is too polite!"

Yang Chao said with a smile. In fact, the decision has already been made.

"Such a beautiful woman. Wouldn't it be an abrupt beauty to be a girl. ”

The black girl didn't understand, and looked at Yang Chao suspiciously, not knowing what it meant.

Zheng Hongkui understood, as if relieved.

I'm relieved, but there's still something I can't let go.

"Uncle, hurry up and send troops, right?"

Zheng Hongkui couldn't wait to plead.

Yang Chao smiled: "Send troops? No need. The Governor has already asked you for an edict to open the market, and there is no need to send troops. ”

Yang Chao thought that Zheng was still really in a hurry, and urged himself to send troops to Fujian. What is the matter of fighting a civil war, Jin Shenghuan of Fujian. Although he is a warlord, he is also a warlord under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and as soon as the bad example of the civil war opens, if someone follows suit, Yang Chao will not be able to condemn it from the height of righteousness.

Zheng Hongkui lamented: "Governor, it's too late." I'm afraid this edict is useless. The Qing army has entered Guangdong! ”

Yang Chao was stunned, the Qing soldiers entered Guangdong? I didn't even receive any news, which is not scientific.

Yang Chao immediately asked clearly.

It turned out that the Qing army was from Huguang and attacked Guangdong, and then immediately closed all passes and galloped in the direction of Guangzhou.

The reason why the Qing army was able to succeed has to start from the internal problems of the Ming army in Guangdong.

The reason why he re-established the banner of Daming anyway was that he was worried that he would not have enough prestige and would not be able to control Wang Tizhong's old department.

And the reason why he was able to sneak attack Guangzhou and merge Wang Tizhong with fire was also because Wang Tizhong's main forces at that time were placed in Shaozhou and Nanxiong to guard against many men.

However, after Wang Derenhuo merged with Wang Tizhong, he did not have the strength to completely eliminate Wang Tizhong's forces, and could only use the Ming court to recruit these people, so the remnants of Wang Tizhong were still in Shaozhou and Nanxiong Mansion, with a total of 80,000 troops, led by Gao Jinku and Hu Yousheng and Liu Wuyuan, the governor of Southern Jiangxi.

Especially this Liu Wuyuan, he was a general of the Ming army, fought with Hong Chengchou in Liaodong, and surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after defeat, when Wang Tizhong was powerful, he had to surrender Wang Tizhong, and as a result, Wang Tizhong was merged by Wang Deren, and after he colluded with the guard Gao Jinku and others, Nanxiong, Shaozhou and other places were airtight and ironclad.

This is actually a talent, capable of literature and martial arts, but the problem is that he has followed Hong Chengchou and surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty.

As a result, after Hong Chengchou secretly absconded from Jiujiang to Huguang, and Dolgon integrated the Eight Banners in Beijing, Hong Chengchou had no constraints, and let go of his hands and feet, and had already secretly contacted Liu Wuyuan, Liu Wuyuan was hesitant at first, but learned that Dolgon had conquered Monan and Northern Mongolia, got 200,000 cavalry, and formed 100,000 New Han soldiers, especially after thwarting Yang Chao, who was on the Northern Expedition, Liu Wuyuan followed the old master and once again took refuge in the Manchu Dynasty.

As a result, Hong Chengchou's soldiers occupied the two gates of Shaozhou and Nanxiong bloodlessly, closed the pass of Lingnan, and blocked the news.

But the news on the land can be blocked, but the news on the sea can not be blocked, after Zheng heard the news, Zheng Hongkui immediately stepped on the clipper, and couldn't wait to personally invite Yang Chao to send troops, Zheng Hongkui galloped all the way, from Fujian to Shanghai when it was only three days, from Wusongkou to Nanjing also took seven days, this speed can be described as fast.

"Marquis Zheng, please talk about it in detail, is Guangzhou preserved now?"

As soon as he heard the news, Yang Chao immediately knew that the situation was serious, and immediately inquired about the situation in Guangzhou.

Zheng Hongkui shook his head and said: "Before coming down, Guangdong has not yet fallen, Wang Deren resisted stubbornly, and the Qing army set up artillery to attack the city. ”

Yang Chao asked again: "What about the imperial court?" Did you run away again? ”

Zheng Hongkui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has gone to patrol Guangxi. ”

Yang Chao sighed: "It's better to take a boat directly to Nanjing and go to Guangxi, in case the Qing army invades Guangxi, where else can you go?" ”

Zheng Hongkui sighed: "If the Metropolitan Governor is interested, Nanjing can also have an emperor, and my Zheng family absolutely supports the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Zheng Hongkui's meaning is obvious, that is, Yang Chao brought out Zhu Cihong, and the Zheng family was the first to stand up and support.

Yang Chao shook his head: "It's not time." I can bring out an emperor today, Fujian can also bring out an emperor tomorrow, and Sichuan can also bring out an emperor the day after tomorrow. ”

Yang Chao is talking about the internal strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty that originally appeared in history, but Yang Chao has always been very restrained, letting Zhu Cihuan play the banner, and he is the third prince of Zhu, there are few people in the world who are more in line with him, so there is no situation where the warlords set up their own emperors, and the man has remained stable.

"Is there any change in Fujian's Jin Shenghuan?"

Yang Chao asked again that Liu Wuyuan and others had defected to the enemy, and he didn't know if Jin Shenghuan would defect to the enemy.

Zheng Hongkui said: "It's quite honest. ”

Zheng Hongkui's tone was still a little regretful, as if he wished that Jin Shenghuan would surrender to the enemy, so that the Zheng family could attack him reasonably, and with the help of Yang Chao's troops, the two ways to attack Fujian would be the Zheng family's again.

Since Fujian has not yet surrendered to the enemy, that is to say, it is only half of Guangdong now.

"Since Jin Shenghuan did not rebel. Lingnan is not all bad. However, if the governor sends troops, he will not be able to pass from Fujian, if Jin Shenghuan rebels, I can fight from Zhejiang, since he did not rebel, probably will not allow the governor to pass from Fujian, at this time the governor does not want to force him. ”

If Yang Chao wants to pass through Fujian under the banner of rescuing Guangdong, Jin Shenghuan will inevitably have concerns about the false way to destroy Yu.

Now Hong Chengchou may have launched a diplomatic offensive a long time ago and is recruiting Jin Shenghuan, but because of Yang Chao in the north, Jin Shenghuan does not dare to surrender, if Yang Chao forces him, he may really surrender to the enemy.

"I bothered Marquis Zheng to repair a letter, and let the Zheng family's fleet meet our army from Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Our army should first rescue Guangzhou, and if Guangzhou has fallen, it will capture Chaozhou first. ”

Therefore, Yang Chao could only choose to take a boat from Wenzhou, the southernmost part of Zhejiang, bypassing Fujian and entering Guangdong by sea and land, and if he took the sea route, the speed was probably faster than passing through the mountains of Fujian.

Zheng Hongkui said: "The order of the metropolitan governor, the Zheng family does not dare to disobey!" ”

Then Yang Chao immediately gave an order to many men, asking him to immediately let the army of Jin Shenghuan in southern Zhejiang take a boat to Guangdong.

At the same time, Xie Fei was asked to set off from Nanchang and lead his troops back to Nanjing, preparing to take a boat to Guangdong.

He also ordered Lü Mo, who was in Yuanzhou Mansion and Ji'an Mansion, to attack the Huguang area and contain Hong Chengchou's forces.

After a series of deployments last night, Yang Chao had time to reflect.

This Hong Chengchou is really pervasive, and if he has the slightest chance, he will immediately bite you.

When he was in Jiujiang, he looked like a grasshopper after the autumn, and he was frantically attacked by Nansi Banner in the court, and he was attacked by Xie Fei and Lu Mo militarily, but he finally escaped, and now he has bitten Yang Chao back.

But there is one question that Yang Chao is a little confused: "Marquis Zheng, what do you think, what is the purpose of Hong Chengchou's move?" ”

If Hong Chengchou is just exploiting loopholes, there are dates and no dates to fight three poles, Yang Chao will not believe it if he is killed, this is definitely an old fox who plans and then acts, if he does not have more than three purposes for attacking Guangdong, then he is not Hong Chengchou.

However, in any case, Guangdong is not a strategic location, and even if it occupies Guangdong, it will not have any substantive significance to the war situation.

"Xu is going to the imperial court?"

Zheng Hongkui said suspiciously.

Yang Chao shook his head: "If Dolgon hadn't returned Emperor Hongguang, it would have made some sense, but now that Emperor Hongguang is in Nanjing, Hong Chengchou has destroyed the Guangdong Imperial Court, it's a big deal that we will set up a new monarch and let Emperor Hongguang restore, but it will help me." ”

To be honest, Yang Chao didn't take the small court very seriously, and the Qing court wouldn't take them too seriously.

What is Hong Chengchou's purpose?

Yang Chao began to think deeply. (To be continued......)
