Chapter 490: Chaotic War
History is always strikingly similar, everything is developing according to the course of history, and Shen Youlong is undoubtedly one of the most important objects for all parties to woo.
Especially the small court of King Lu in Zhejiang, which was originally inferior to the Tang court in Fujian, unlike the Zheng family, which has 100,000 elite soldiers and a hundred warships at sea, has always been their internal injury without strong external support, so it is definitely a particularly good thing to be able to win over Shen Youlong.
Because the Tang King has the support of Zheng Zhilong, it can be said that he has no worries in terms of money, the old Zheng family is rich, and the income from the sea alone is enough to maintain the income of the officials in the entire Fujian territory, and now that they support the Tang King, they must make it orthodox and supported by more people.
So those ministers who are idle at home or people who have been exiled from the north have been recruited by them, not for anything else, just for fame, although these people have little ability, but they still have influence, and many people are actually not lonely, and they are naturally driven by fame and fortune.
These people are different from Shen Youlong, Lao Shen is a real powerful faction, with soldiers in his hands, and he holds the power of Liangguang, and with the population and scale of Liangguang, this is the most difficult target to woo.
Zheng Zhilong actually doesn't have much hope for Lao Shen, after all, he has an Australian background behind him, others don't know, will he still know, not to mention that Lao Shen's implementation of the new policy is almost the same as that in Hong Kong.
In fact, there is still merit in Hong Kong, but it is not suitable for Zheng Zhilong at present, and the improved version of Shen Youlong is very suitable for himself, and he has already sent people to understand the detailed operation process of it, and is ready to use the tax law he implemented in Fujian.
At present, the Zheng family's army has been assembled and is ready to launch a war against the court of King Lu in Zhejiang, and only by first eliminating the danger that exists around him can he expand his power and bring more people into his feed.
Compared with Zheng Zhilong, King Lu's power is indeed inferior to others, and Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule have some troops. But there is no money in his hands, relying on the gentry and merchants to maintain the operation, at this time Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, did not ascend the throne, but only held power in the name of the prison country.
But the Tang King is different, he has ascended the throne with the support of Zheng Zhilong, and he has surrendered to Zhu Yihai and others, which is absolutely unacceptable to King Lu, whose bloodline is closer to inheriting the unification, so after some harsh wording, the ministers on both sides launched a verbal and written attack.
It was under such circumstances that Zheng Zhilong decided to send troops to Ludong and Zhejiang, and then recovered Nanjing. As long as the king of Tang is a crucial step to take Nanjing, as long as he takes Nanjing, it can be said that he is sending troops to other provinces.
Zhu Yihai actually hopes for Shen Youlong's support, because Liangguang is located in the belly of Fujian, and if he can attack from his rear, it will be an unexpected victory, and it can also effectively drag Zheng Zhilong's strategy of entering Zhejiang.
But Shen Youlong didn't want to participate in the struggle between them, and the officials of Liangguang were also waiting to see who would have the last laugh when they saw it, to say that King Lu's strength really couldn't be compared with Zheng Zhilong.
Lao Zheng fought jointly from the two directions of land and sea, and Zhu Yihai and others who fought had no power to fight back. In addition to these, the main reason is the shortage of troops in Zhejiang, mainly the local guards, who are farmers. If you want to say that farming is probably okay, as for fighting, don't think about it.
Although Zheng Zhilong's troops are not good, after all, other people's troops belong to the regular army, and they are still trained when they are fine. When you go to the battlefield, at least you won't faint when you see blood.
In comparison, Zheng Zhilong also has a large number of Australian weapons in his hands, which can be said to have helped him a lot.
In the use of artillery alone, he is more than the King of Lu in eastern Zhejiang. Not to mention anything else.
The war between King Lu and King Tang also made Shen Youlong see once again that these two forces were not what he hoped to join, and now Houjin Jinguan has occupied a large area of the north of the country, and the rebel army can be said to be in a very severe form.
It seems that it is his wise move to support King Gui to ascend to the throne, Lao Shen has already been in contact with King Gui, and the other party is a little interested in becoming the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he has not yet agreed.
As for what King Gui was afraid of, Shen Youlong also knew that after all, there were already two emperors, and one was probably not good, and it would only accelerate the demise of the south.
On both sides, you fight me, I fight you, these Houjin have always been in the eyes, after all, Dolgon is waiting for the army to be drawn at any time.
Dolgon ordered Wu Sangui and Azig to lead the army south, taking advantage of the unstable situation in the south and having no time to take care of the territory in the north, so he took the opportunity to unify the land north of the Yangtze River.
With the help of a group of Han Chen advisers, it was relatively easy for the Houjin to dominate the world, even if they did not have an advantage in numbers, it didn't matter, as long as the gentry class was dealt with, there would be almost no problems for ordinary people.
However, with the emergence of Australia, it is certainly not so easy for Houjin to dominate the world, Shen Youlong's new army is currently intensifying training, and the Australians' troops in Hong Kong have also increased.
What this operation will be like, it is not yet known, but once the Australians get involved, it will be troublesome, so in order to prevent Shen Youlong from bringing in Australians, King Lu and Tang Wang's regime respectively released false news, saying that Shen Youlong betrayed the country to seek glory, and in order to obtain the right to manage the two Guangzhous, he did not hesitate to let the Australians enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Lao Shen will also be difficult to discern, but at the critical moment, King Gui stood up to express his support, and said that he would temporarily manage the land of Liangguang as the general of the protector of the country, and vowed to recover the northern territory.
It's impassioned, but in history, this is the fastest to escape, don't say anything to resist, it is often people who run away before they arrive, and finally die in the hands of Wu Sangui It is tragic enough, if you can be tough, at that time, with a few available generals under him, if you want to keep one side, it is still very possible for Xu Xu Tuzhi, but this one is too timid.
Of course, Shen Youlong supports him, and he will definitely not let him escape without his life, this is for sure, in addition, King Gui will only be a puppet emperor in the future, and it is impossible to hold power. (To be continued.) )
