In addition to the crisis in the direction of Zhaoqing during the Battle of Shaoguan, the Ming army in the three directions of northern Fujian, northwest Fujian, and western Fujian was also attacked by the Qing army in the first few months of the first year of Wuding.

Among them, because of the Jianning Change, the Fujian general army Hong Gongzhu was forced to retreat to Yanping Fucheng, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the Qing army, they had to abandon the fortified city, use the Minjiang River valley road and fight and retreat, and finally slowly retreated to Huangtian, Julin, Shuikou, and Xiongjiang to hold on. The Qing army was unable to continue the offensive because of the inability to replenish grain and straw in the battlefield and the difficulty of transporting them in the rear, so Hong Gongzhu was barely able to keep the safety of Gutian, Minqing and the western flank of Fuzhou.

At this time, in view of the changes in the war situation in northwest Fujian and the Zheng army in northern Guangdong being held back by the Sang Forehead Department, Yu Chenglong, the governor of Jiangxi and the governor of Jiangxi, who felt that there was no threat on his flank, no longer had any scruples, so he commanded the Jiangxi Green Battalion to re-attack western Fujian from Ningdu and Ruijin. Wang Xinhua, the deputy general of the left of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, led 10,000 people to defend the capital city of Tingzhou, but there were no reinforcements outside and no food and grass savings inside, and they just relied on the fear of the rebels to support it, and the shape could be described as precarious.

As for the direction of northern Fujian, although the Yongwei Division of the Zheng Army on the left and right sides of the coast blocked the attack layer by layer, but the two divisions were not more than 10,000 people were not enough to deal with seven or eight times the enemy's army, and the Qing army opened the road with flesh and blood After paying nearly 15,000 casualties, it finally attacked the line of Baishuigang, Baisha and Changqiwei, and it was one step away from Luoyuan County.

The entire Fujian war was completely unfavorable to the Ming army, only Zhou Zhenghe, who was sent to Shaowu by Hong Gongzhu, was outstanding, not only defending Shaowu City, but also dividing troops to control Jiangle, Shunchang, Jianning, and Taining counties, but Zhou Zhenghe only took advantage of the Qing army's lack of time to take care of the monkey to be called the king, that is, he was unable to counterattack Yanping and Jianning, and he did not have the courage to abandon Shaowu and counterattack into Jiangxi.

"The battle reports from all over the place, presumably all the secretaries have read through them, embattled on all sides, and it seems that the situation is already very critical." In Fuzhou City, Zheng Kezhang quietly swept the military generals in front of him. "But Lone thought there was still a chance to turn the tables." At Zheng Kezang's signal, a map was laid out. "Lin Qing, you can explain it to everyone."

Lin Sheng walked to the map and stretched out his hand: "The General Staff Office drew up two strategies to deal with the possible counterattack of the Qing captives as early as when they invaded Guangzhou, one of which was to land at Tongshan (Fuding) north of Funing with the troops of Zuo Huwei and other five divisions, cut off the grain route of the invading Qing army in one fell swoop, and trapped them to death and starved to death in northern Fujian. ”

Lin Sheng paused: "The advantage of this strategy is to take advantage of the convenience of the water division of this domain to control the sea power, and to attack the weakest place of the Qing Dynasty, but the disadvantage is that once Tongshan changes hands, the Qing army is bound to fight back wildly, and when the time comes, Fujian and Zhejiang will be flanked by the two roads, and there will be a bloody battle for Zuo Huwei and other divisions, and even if the Qing army in northern Fujian is annihilated, it will only change the situation along the way, and it will not be of much benefit to the overall situation, not to mention that the Tatar chieftains in Suzhou will immediately send more reinforcements." ”

After saying this, Lin Sheng looked at the reactions of the people in front of him, and then compared with his hands, before he could speak, a few people in the audience who had seen clearly had already gasped for a while, and some people shouted regardless of the danger of being impeached by the palace envoy for losing their manners: "Ying Tianfu!" ”

"That's right, another strategy of the General Staff Office is to go straight to Nanjing." Lin Sheng admitted, and suddenly the sound of the scene was amplified, but fortunately, Zheng Kezhang glared at him afterwards, which forced the audience to calm down. "Yingtianfu is the place where Emperor Taizu Longxing is." Lin Sheng continued. "Once Nanjing is recovered, it can not only cut off the traffic between the north and the south of Jianyu, according to the rice grain in the south of the Yangtze River for the use of our domain, but also can greatly expand the momentum of our dynasty, if you can surround the Tatar chieftain Kangxi in southern Jiangsu by the way, then you can kill two birds with one stone. To this end, the General Staff Office has approved the mobilization of all nine divisions and regiments of the Hai Long Xiang Division that are now in Dongning."

After Lin Sheng's words were finished, the hall was silent, as if the previous uproar was just an illusion of Zheng Kezang, and it wasn't until a long time later that Zheng Kezang himself broke the solemn atmosphere: "Why don't you speak, is it possible that Zhu Qing has no opinion on the two strategies of the Staff Hall?" This can't be done, I'm afraid that the power of this domain is limited, and I am afraid that it will not be able to carry out the program at the same time. ”

Zheng Kezang's cold joke did not cause everyone to laugh, but after a while, Yuanfu Hong Lei got up and said: "Lord, the strategy of the ministers to enter Jinling seems to be the same as the strategy of the first king to enter Tianfu, but back then"

"Elder Hong Ge, this matter is not the same." Zheng Kezhang responded lightly. "Back then, my grandfather made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, but today Gu is ready to fight fast and slow, and act before Qinglu reacts, and will never give Qinglu a chance to hold on." Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang added. "The staff department has worked hard to find out the truth of the Qing captives, Yingtian 10,000, Zhenjiang 6,000, Hangzhou 10,000, Suzhou because the Tartar chief Kangxi is in person, so there are 20,000 people, such a force is enough to break through one by one."

"Lord, although the Tartar chief Kangxi sent the forbidden brigade and the Eight Banners around him back to the north to spend the summer, but the army of the rotation is just around the corner, once the troops of this domain are under the Jinling fortified city, the consequences are unimaginable." Hong Lei insisted on his own point of view. "The minister thinks that although the attack on Tongshan can only suspend the danger for a while, it is better than putting all the military forces in danger."

"Hong Ge's old words are ridiculous." Lin Xian, who was on the side, saw Zheng Kezang's unhappy expression, and immediately stood up to refute Hong Lei. "In the opinion of the following officials, as long as the sailors of this domain are still there, even if the land division is wiped out, there is no danger of crossing the sea. In this case, why not fight hard, even if you can't turn things around in one fell swoop, it will inevitably disrupt the steps of the Qing army. ”

"Who are you?" Hong Lei glared at Lin Xian. "It's just a general, it's still light to say that you have ill intentions, and you dare to make a big deal of nonsense here." Lin Xian didn't dare to talk back to this old minister, so he had to silently endure Hong Lei's humiliation, but Hong Lei didn't seem to give up, and after scolding Lin Xian, he turned to Zheng Kezhang and said. "Please punish this traitor."

"Elder Hong Ge, that's enough." Zheng Kezang's face was extremely gloomy. "This strategy has nothing to do with Lin Qing, so there is no need to blame it." There are a lot of generals and military commissions in the Zheng army, and according to Hong Lei's meaning, the Zheng army will collapse without a fight, so Zheng Kezhang will not adopt Hong Lei's construction if he says anything. "Let's just leave it on the facts." After that, Zheng Kezang ordered Hong Lei to sit down, and then looked at Ke Ping on the other side. "Does Ke Qing have any ideas here?"

Unlike Hong Lei, the nominal Yuanfu, Ke Ping is the actual prime minister of the Ming Zheng regime, and Ke Ping hesitated for a moment when Zheng Kezang deliberately avoided Hong Lei's approach, and asked: "Attacking Tongshan may be directly transshipped from Dongning, but if it is attacking Yingtian, the sea route is long, and how to supply it." ”

"Jieyang Bo has built more than 20 cangtuns in the Daqushan Governor's Mansion, which is enough to reserve 50,000 troops for half a year." At Zheng Kezang's suggestion, Sun Youlao, deputy general staff officer of the left, replied. "In addition, most of the main forces of the Northern Fleet have also been recovered, and they will act as the responsibility of rapid transshipment together with the Zhoushan Detachment and other units to ensure the supply of grain to Dongning and Jiangnan."

Li Jing, the director of the storage and transshipment experience department of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the head of the Taifu Temple, immediately interjected and asked: "Then once it enters the wind period, how can we ensure that the transportation by sea will not be interrupted?" ”

Lin Heng, the commander of the Military Affairs Department and the head of the Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, replied: "At that time, the summer grain in Jiangnan has been collected, which is enough to meet the needs of the war. ”

"Naturally." Gu Tongshan, the secretary of the Yingtian Experience Division and the left attendant of the household department, pouted. "Not to mention whether the Qing army in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Suchang, Songjia and other places can be defeated in just a few months, and control the entire southern and northern Zhejiang, but the war is all together, and it will inevitably be abandoned, and even if there is any output, it will all fall into the hands of the domain, and this grain may not be enough."

"Japan and Korea have agreed to sell grain on credit to the domain," Lin Weirong, the secretary of the Department of Trade and Trade and the head of the Honglu Temple, assured with a solemn oath. "Quang Nam, Chenla, and Siam also agreed to increase grain sales to the domain, so even if there is a famine in Jiangnan, the domain still has enough spare power to ensure military rations."

"Japan and North Korea agreed to sell grain on credit, but what about the money to buy grain from Quang Nam, Chenla, Siam, Ngni and other places?" Liu Chongxi, who has experienced the division of the official department and the household department, and the right waiter, has a blue face. "Years of war, coupled with the previous borrowing of Japanese money to repay the principal interest, the feudal domain is already poor, what can be used to buy rice grain from various countries."

Lin Weirong retorted with some dissatisfaction: "Isn't the lord's method of planting mussels and pearls able to collect several stone pearls every year?" Why do you say that there is no money again. ”

In this regard, Liu Chongxi retorted unrelentingly: "Lord Lin doesn't know that rare things are expensive, and more pearls are also worthless." ”

"Alright." Zheng Kezhang really couldn't listen to it anymore. "Lone asked you to discuss the battle strategy, not to listen to your words." Zheng Kezhang is actually right, the problem of military rations is not only encountered in the attack on Jiangnan, even if only the conservative plan is chosen, Zheng Jun also needs to eat, so it is not the key to the choice. "Zheng Qing, what do you mean?"

Zheng Bin's position as a secretary seems to be a high and powerful position, but in fact it is just a fictitious title, but this is also in line with his thoughts, at this moment Zheng Kezhang asked, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself: "The lord has already made a complete plan, and the minister only needs to bow his head and obey orders, and there is nothing else." ”

Zheng Kezhang frowned, but for this cousin, he had no choice but to look at Zheng Yingping: "What does Zheng Qing think?" ”

With Zheng Bin's pearl and jade, Zheng Yingping also responded respectfully: "It's all up to the Lord to decide." ”

Zheng Kezhang shook his head: "Of course, Lone also wants a perfect decision, but the situation is so unfavorable, it is not necessary to fight and end up with his father, you have to fight to succeed, otherwise you will be unwilling." ”

Hearing the mention of Zhu Jin's incident back then, Hong Lei, who had been strained since Zheng Kezhang didn't let him speak just now, was also touched, and he arched his hand again: "The minister implores the Lord to think carefully about it, so as not to repeat the old story." ”

Under his leadership, a group of ministers leaned over one after another: "The ministers implore the Lord to think twice." ”

Zheng Kezhang also stood up: "I have made up my mind, I should fight to the death"
