Chapter 814: Faith in Victory

Zheng Jinhong was extremely cautious, and after setting out from Pingyang, he ordered 15,000 soldiers to march day and night, trying to minimize the time of marching during the day, especially after entering Fujian Province, his whereabouts became even more secretive.

Countless scouts have been dispatched, and most of the scouts have reconnoitered in the direction of Anhai Town and Nan'an County in Jinjiang, and the intelligence in the rest of the places is auxiliary, and these information are very important to Zheng Jinhong, and they are also the key to his victory in the battle.

What surprised Zheng Jinhong was that Fujian Province was unusually calm, without the slightest abnormality, whether it was Fuzhou or Quanzhou, as if nothing had happened, which made Zheng Jinhong puzzled, it is said that the young master had written a letter to Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong, who received the letter, ignored the young master's letter, but also made all preparations to meet the sudden situation that might come, but the scouts detected intelligence, Fuzhou and Quanzhou did not have any abnormalities.

After thinking hard, Zheng Jinhong took out the letter written by the young master again, and this time he read it very seriously.

Finally, a passage in the young master's letter that Zheng Jinhong did not particularly understand jumped into view, saying that if the situation in Fujian is calm and there is no abnormality in the slightest, then Zheng Jinhong can speed up the march and attack Anhai Town in Jinjiang as quickly as possible, directly supplying Zheng Zhilong's mansion.

After years of fighting, Zheng Jinhong has long learned to analyze, and following the young master's side, he has learned a lot of skills, after a little analysis, Zheng Jinhong understands that all parts of Fujian are very calm, that can only explain one problem, after Zheng Zhilong received the letter, he didn't care at all, and he didn't make the letter public, so all parts of Fujian were very calm.

Zheng Jinhong was very annoyed. There are actually people who look down on the young master, it seems that they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, you Zheng Zhilong thought that when you were a pirate, you were powerful, so that the imperial army was helpless, and after returning to the imperial court, you dominated Fujian and the sea, so you thought you were great. You are really a frog at the bottom of the well, and when the time comes, you will understand the power of Zheng Jiajun, and I am afraid that you will not be able to cry.

The best way to defeat Zheng Zhilong's arrogance is to capture Zheng Zhilong's mansion in Anhai Town and capture Zheng Zhilong's family alive.

After firming up his judgment, Zheng Jinhong quickly issued an order, and the 15,000-strong army marched day and night. Marching at the fastest speed, the army took through Jianning Mansion and Yanping Mansion, directly penetrated Quanzhou Mansion, bypassing Funing Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, after all, the strength of Zheng Zhilong's naval division was very strong, and it was best to avoid the sea for a fast march of the army.

At the same time, Zheng Jinhong also issued orders to Liu Zeqing and Ding Baokun, requiring Liu Zeqing to stay away from the sea when he passed through Funing Prefecture. Lest your whereabouts be exposed prematurely, it is best to enter Fuzhou Mansion from the direction of Fu'an. The sailors led by Ding Baokun must always be vigilant, once Zheng Zhilong's sailors are discovered, they will either be completely annihilated or avoid being discovered by the opponent.

Nanjing Military Department.

After Zheng Xunrui read Zheng Jinhong's letter, he handed it to Xu Wanghua. Let Xu Wanghua read out the contents of the letter.

In his letter, Zheng Jinhong explained in detail how to change the operational deployment and the plan for the next operation, etc., which were all changes made in accordance with Zheng Xunrui's requirements.

At this time, Zhou Yanru and the others finally understood what Zheng Xunrui meant, this was an arrangement they never imagined. However, everyone also felt strange, you must know that Zheng Zhilong is the governor of Tongzhi, the chief soldier of Fujian, and he was once a pirate, he has experienced countless battles, and he has added blood to the knife all the time, do they care if his mansion is attacked, and Zheng Zhilong's main force is the water division, as long as his water division does not suffer a major blow, then Zheng Zhilong has the power to rebound, and it really comes to that situation, Zhejiang and the coastal places of Nanzhili are not particularly peaceful.

The combat deployment of capturing thieves and capturing the king is of course the best, Zheng Zhilong's lair is in Anhai Town, Jinjiang, if Zheng Jiajun can take Anhai Town as quickly as possible, or even capture or kill Zheng Zhilong alive, then many problems can be solved.

However, judging from the current situation, capturing Zheng Zhilong alive is the best choice, you must know that Zheng Zhilong's sailors have more than 3,000 warships and nearly 200,000 sailor soldiers, such a powerful force, only Zheng Zhilong can control it, once Zheng Zhilong is killed, these people are likely to float down to the sea and continue to be pirates.

Isn't such a combat mission too difficult, the 15,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army led by Zheng Jinhong need to break through Zheng Zhilong's lair, capture Zheng Zhilong alive, and capture Zheng Zhilong's family alive.

Sounds like a story.

After Xu Wanghua finished reading the letter, Zhou Yanru looked at Yang Tingshu and the others beside him, and quickly spoke.

"Lord Wang, Xia Guan feels that such a tactical arrangement is too difficult, on the one hand, it is necessary to capture Anhai Town, and on the other hand, it is necessary to capture Zheng Zhilong alive, no matter which aspect goes wrong, it may cause chaos along the coast."

Zhou Yanru's worries are very reasonable, and Yang Tingshu, Gan Xuekuo, Wen Zhenheng and others also have such views.

Zheng Xunrui's eyes looked at Xiong Wencan, the left attendant of the household department.

Xiong Wencan also looked up at Zheng Xunrui at this moment.

Everyone's eyes also focused on Xiong Wencan, when Xiong Wencan was still the governor of Fujian, he urged the imperial court to appease Zheng Zhilong, and it was also successful, Xiong Wencan still has a certain understanding of Zheng Zhilong.

Xiong Wencan spoke.

"Xia Guan feels that the prince's arrangement is very proper, no matter whether Zheng Zhilong can be captured alive in this battle, as long as Anhai Town is captured, as long as Zheng Zhilong's family is captured alive, then Zheng Zhilong will lose the ability and opportunity to resist."

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Xiong Wencan.

"Zheng Zhilong, born as a pirate, is needless to say in terms of toughness, Xia Guan has been in contact with Zheng Zhilong for a lot of time, and he has full feelings in this regard, but Zheng Zhilong's biggest shortcoming is also in this place, that is, relying on his own toughness, not caring about the overall situation, and ignoring the grasp of the overall situation."

"When the lower officials recruited Zheng Zhilong, the feeling was very profound, after Zheng Zhilong returned to the imperial court, the first thing that came to mind was the territory, and then he fell in love with Anhai Town in Jinjiang, and built a mansion in Anhai Town, trying to build Anhai Town into the world of the Zheng family."

"This kind of practice really shouldn't be, Zheng Zhilong used to be a pirate, wouldn't this move show the court that he would not completely rely on the court, and it was impossible to be completely loyal to the court, such a taboo thing, Zheng Zhilong did it without the slightest scruples."

"Zheng Zhilong's family concept is very strong, and Xia Guan remembers very clearly, just after returning to the imperial court, Zheng Zhilong immediately settled all his family members back to his hometown in Nan'an County, and later after building the mansion in Anhai Town, he took all his family members to Anhai Town again."

"Zheng Zhilong, as an official in Fujian, has never considered the matter of avoidance, nor does he care about the emperor's and the court's opinion of him, which is enough to show that Zheng Zhilong does not have any vision, and only sees immediate interests."

"Zheng Zhilong's maintenance of his family, the lower officials did not see it with their own eyes, but when they were in Fujian, they also heard a lot, in fact, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong was ready to return to the imperial court, just because his younger brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao thought that the imperial court was not sincere, Zheng Zhilong decisively refused, such a major matter, as the leader, Zheng Zhilong, did not have a good decision, and followed the advice of the two younger brothers, and the lower officials felt a little unbelievable."

"These things that Xia Guan said basically outlined Zheng Zhilong's image, that is to say, Beizhili and even the capital are in danger, Zheng Zhilong may not pay attention to it, but if his family is in danger, Zheng Zhilong will definitely pay close attention to it, and it is very possible to even give in to this." ……

Xiong Wencan's analysis made everyone understand that Zheng Xunrui had grasped the characteristics of Zheng Xunrui and made special arrangements in a targeted manner.

Since Zheng Zhilong is such a character, it is the best policy to force Zheng Zhilong to surrender by directly attacking Anhai Town, so as to stabilize the situation in Fujian to the greatest extent, and at the same time directly control the maritime trade in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places.

After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui spoke.

"You all understand why this arrangement, but how correct the arrangement and deployment is not the most critical, to complete the combat deployment to the letter, without any accidents is the most important, Zheng Zhilong received the letter I wrote, but there was no reaction, even in Fujian Province There is no reaction, this is enough to prove Zheng Zhilong's conceit, Fujian relies on the sea, but far away from the capital and Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong's vision is limited, I don't know so many big things happening in the north and south, such a big picture, so much energy, It is almost impossible to maintain it for a long time, even if the Zheng family army does not attack and encounters other forces, Zheng Zhilong will not be able to maintain it. ”

"Zheng Jiajun entered Fujian to fight, can not be protracted, let alone let the whole of Fujian chaos, then we can hardly bear the consequences, when there is no attack on Fujian, Zheng Zhilong is just a threat to us, if the attack on Fujian can not be quickly resolved, then Zheng Zhilong has really become our opponent and enemy, and it is a difficult opponent."

"Zheng Jinhong has commanded countless battles, and has the ability to command this critical battle, what I am worried about is the naval division under Zheng Zhilong, once Zheng Zhilong decides to surrender, then whether the naval division under his command will completely obey the order, and whether there will be the next Liu Xiang, this is what needs special attention, to tell the truth, in terms of maritime combat capabilities, Ding Baokun, a staff general of the Zheng family's army, is not as good as Zheng Zhilong, and among my Zheng family's army, there is no outstanding commander of maritime operations."

Zheng Xunrui's words silenced everyone, not to mention the Zheng family's army, even the entire Ming Dynasty, there are almost no outstanding commanders of maritime operations, and the most powerful Zheng Zhilong is a pirate.

Everyone understands what this illustrates. (To be continued.) )
