After the victory of Haicheng, the Zheng army, which was advancing vigorously, regained the lost ground all the way, and successively captured Changtai, Tong'an, Nan'an, Hui'an, Anxi, Yongchun, Dehua and other counties, and seemed to have the posture of sweeping the whole of Fujian again. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) However, Liu Guoxuan was frustrated under the city of Quanzhou and had to pick up the old tactics of besieging the city again.

However, this time Liu Guoxuan miscalculated. Quanzhou has always been a famous township and a big city in central Fujian, and the city has a lot of grain, which is by no means comparable to a small county like Haicheng. Liu Guoxuan led his troops to besiege for more than two months, but the Qing army in the city still held on, and at the same time, the Qing army from all walks of life also came to aid Fujian under Kangxi's strict orders.

Among them, 15,000 people from the Lahada Department of the Ninghai General were trained by Li Guangdi, who was a scholar in Ding You's house, and his uncle Li Riyu led more than 100 villagers to lead them to take the mountain path to capture Tong'an, cutting off the land connection between Liu Guoxuan's department on the Quanzhou front line and Xiamen; Wu Xingzuo, the governor of Fujian, commanded more than 10,000 troops to bypass Yongchun from Xianyou and approached Quanzhou from the northwest; Fujian Governor Yang Jie led 20,000 green battalions from Xinghua to Hui'an, along the official road from Quanzhou to Fuzhou, and slowly crushed from the northeast.

In the face of the enemy troops besieging from three sides, Liu Guoxuan was calm and calm, and each built a fortress and waited. In view of Liu Guoxuan's outstanding military exploits, although the Qing army was far superior to the Zheng army in terms of strength, they did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. Just as the battle of Quanzhou was in a stalemate, a change outside the Quanzhou battlefield affected the overall situation.

At the beginning of August, Lin Xian and Huang Hao of the Qing army led their boat divisions out of the Majiang Estuary to carry out a counteroffensive against Dinghai, which was occupied by the Zheng army. The willingness of these two men was only to contain the Zheng army's naval division that provided cover and supplies for Quanzhou, but Xiao Chen, the defender of Dinghai, neglected his duties and was not prepared for the Qing army's counterattack, and was ready to abandon Dinghai and flee as soon as he saw the Qing army attacking.

Zhang Yuanxun, the general of the five towns of the Zheng army's naval division, was unwilling to retreat without a fight, so he launched a decisive attack on the Qing army with ten warships, but the whole army was annihilated because he was outnumbered and foreign aid was not enough. After Zhang Yuanxun died in battle, Xiao Chen became more and more panicked, and fled all the way south, so that the Qing army had not returned to Min'an Town (note: near Mawei), he had fled back to Siming.

If the loss of Dinghai alone did not have much impact on the Quanzhou front, how could Xiao Chen, in order to reduce the responsibility for his defeat, lie about the military situation, saying that the Qing army's naval division was moving south from Fuzhou in a big way, and its scale was several times that of the current Zheng army's naval divisions in Siming and Quanzhou. General Zhu Jin was skeptical of Xiao Chen's report, but considering that Liu Guoxuan's troops were caught in the internal and external attacks of the Qing army, in order to ensure the safety of this main force, he sent someone to recall Liu Guoxuan

"My lord, my lord!" A Goshha with a long knife on his waist took three steps and made two steps into the backyard of the Quanzhou Mansion where Ya Dali, the deputy capital of Hangzhou, lived, and happened to bump into this red-banded girl holding a half-disjointed beautiful girl in the daytime. "Good news, my lord!" Takeben, who fell to his knees, hurriedly reported the good news before Yadali became angry. "Liu Wei has withdrawn!"

"What!" Yadali pushed away the woman who was still wrapped around her body, and stood up suddenly. "Quickly lead the official to watch."

"Heaven bless!" By the time Yadali arrived on the city wall, the Qing court civil and military forces trapped in Quanzhou had all gathered on the enemy tower. "Yadutong, Liu Yi has withdrawn." Ta Xin, the prefect of Quanzhou, grabbed Ya Dali's sleeve. "Come and see, if the team is not in order, it will inevitably have no morale, why don't you organize the army to pursue and achieve immortal achievements in one fell swoop."

"Lord Tower, that's a bad word!" Although Taxin is not a red belt, his wife and sister are the concubines of Prince Jane's Rabu, and Yadali naturally wants to give him some face. "The so-called return to the teacher should not be stopped." But it's one thing to give face, but to let Ya Dali fight hard with the famous Liu Guoxuan for this, this red belt doesn't have the courage to do so. "Besides, did Liu Guoxuan really retire from the army? Is there a trap? Is that uncertain? In case the pursuit falls into a trap, the army fails, and Liu Bu returns, will Quanzhou be able to hold it at that time? "As soon as I heard that Quanzhou might not defend because of blind movement, Ta Xin, as the prefect of Quanzhou, didn't dare to speak more." That's it, that's it. Yadali knew that he must still be a little unwilling, so he reassured. Send someone to contact the outside first, so that you can understand what's going on and then talk about it."

The caution of the Qing army in Quanzhou gave Liu Guoxuan the opportunity to calmly ship the troops back to Siming, but although this elite was retained, the territory of the counties it occupied before was completely lost. For this reason, Zhu Jin, who only got the exact information after Liu Guoxuan's return, was furious and recalled Xiao Chen to behead the public.

Xiao Chen deserved it, but the situation was still deteriorating, and as a last resort, Zhu Jin called for assistance to suppress Chen Liang in Zuozhen, Chen Qiming in Youzhen, and Zhu Tiangui in Louchuan Zuozhen to evacuate Nanao and Tongshan and go to Jinxia to prepare for a possible waterway attack by the Qing army. At the same time as the water division was mobilized, Liu Guoxuan led the towns to attack Zhangzhou.

The Qing army in Zhangzhou had about 20,000 people in the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, and the two sides lined up in the first line of Honglao Mountain and Shiluo Mountain (note: northwest of Quanzhou) on the Jiulong River. Liu Guoxuan personally led his troops to charge into battle, and successively broke the Qing army several formations, and the Qing army was defeated, and Liu Guoxuan took the opportunity to attack the camp of Geng Jingzhong's department in Shiniu Mountain. Geng Jingzhong recalled the new hatred and old hatred, and personally supervised the war. The Zheng army had been rushing for half a day, exhausted, just relying on a breath of energy in the charge, as a result of one drum flourishing, two drums and three drums exhausted, not only did not succeed in the attack, but was defeated by Geng Jingzhong, and when the rest of the Qing army was reorganized, Liu Guoxuan could not resist, so the Zheng army was defeated. Although Liu Guoxuan led a part back to Jiulong Jiangdong at the last moment, the elite of the Zheng army was completely lost after this battle, and as a last resort, Liu Guoxuan led the remaining two or three thousand remnants of the army to abandon Changtai and retreat to Haicheng

"Fufu, what's wrong?" Zhu Jin, who had suffered a series of defeats, was like a trapped beast, and suddenly saw Chen Yonghua, who was the chief envoy of Dongning, appear in front of him, and the surprise in his heart was conceivable, but after the surprise, a wave of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart. "But something happened to Dongning?"

"The king doesn't have to worry too much, Dongning is fine." Although Taiwan's internal treasury is scarce and the external society is making trouble, Chen Yonghua has to comfort Zhu Jin, who has become a frightened bird, as if nothing happened. "It's just that the minister heard that the clan had suffered defeats and that the generals had suffered a lot of losses, so he came to implore the king to withdraw his troops."

"Withdrawing troops?" Zhu Jin glanced at Chen Yonghua. "This is Chen Qing's intention?" Zhu Jin didn't believe his ears a little, you must know that Chen Yonghua has always been cautious and never overstepped his authority, how could he suddenly interfere with the military plane today, he thought about it and seemed to understand something. "It was Qin She who asked Qing to come."

"Your Majesty, although the grandson of the world advocated the withdrawal of the troops of the domain, the ministers also agreed." Chen Yonghua admitted it in disguise, and took out a letter from his cuff as he spoke. "The grandson also has a letter of trust to the king." Zhu Jin took it over and watched, and when he roughly swept it, Chen Yonghua continued to speak. "Now that the Tartars and traitors are powerful, this domain has been unable to advance in Fujian Province, so if it is better to move to Yueguiqiong, it may be a different face."

"Yue Guiqiong?" Zhu Jin read the letter again and again, and then slapped it on the table. "The stakes are big, and I have to consult one or two when I am alone." Zhu Jin is a hands-off shopkeeper, the so-called consultation, originally looking for Chen Shenwu, and now looking for Feng Xifan to be in charge. "However, the water master of this domain is still there, and Haicheng is also in his hands, the so-called failure is just Qinshe's assumption, why is Fufu frightened."

"Dongning's financial resources have reached the limit." Chen Yonghua confessed. "Ten years of savings have been exhausted, and I really can't afford to bear the burden of the army; In addition, almost every family in the towns and towns that followed the king of Taiwan in the past is now wearing filial piety, and there is no longer a strong and strong to adjust, and the people of Shitai are just coming for the land and not really obeying the domain, so they can't sign the army lightly. "Financial difficulties and exhaustion of troops, as long as one of these two things is encountered in peacetime, it is a sign of the country's demise, so Chen Yonghua tried his best to withdraw the army, not simply obeyed Zheng Kezang's construction." Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to withdraw late than to withdraw early."

Chen Yonghua soon returned to Dongning, but the construction he brought caused an uproar in the army - the matter was serious, Feng Xifan did not dare to suggest to Zhu Jin, so he pushed the question of whether to withdraw the army or switch to Yue Guiqiong to the front-line commanders - many Zheng generals were fluctuating and thinking about returning, and some wanted to switch to southern Guangdong when they saw Yang Xian flourishing in Lei Qiong, but a group of Zheng army generals led by Liu Guoxuan were unwilling to fall into Yang Xian's supporting role.

"We must not withdraw our troops," Liu Guoxuan shouted to Zhu Jin. "Now that the Tartars want to seize Haicheng but can't, if the clan admits defeat and automatically withdraws the army, won't it make the Tartars overjoyed." Of course, this statement did not satisfy Zhu Jin, so Liu Guoxuan added. "Now the army of this domain is depressed, if it is withdrawn from Haicheng and Siming to Dongning without a battle, I am afraid that in the future, when it sees the banner of the Qing Dynasty, it will be heard and fled."

Feng Xifan looked at Zhu Jin, who was moved, and decided to speak out to help Liu Guoxuan, so that he could not only show goodwill to Liu Guoxuan and other bigwigs in the army, but also continue to attack Chen Yonghua's uncle and nephew: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Pingbo's words are not unreasonable, and the minister thinks that only by occupying Siming and Haicheng can he mediate with Beiting and get back the biggest gain at the smallest price." ”

Zhu Jin's brows flicked, he naturally understood what Feng Xifan meant, it was nothing more than to use Siming and Haicheng as bargaining chips to get some promises from the Qing court, although this was not his original intention, but he could finally get an explanation for the losses of sending troops to the mainland in the past few years, so that he could have the face to return to Dongning to see his father.

Although he felt that he had been persuaded again, Zhu Jin was still a little hesitant: "What about retreating south to Qiongzhou?" ”

"Qiong Lei is just a place for partial teachers, just have Yang Xian and Yang Lao." That's how Liu Guoxuan met. "And the sea route is very far, in case the Qing army and naval division only crosses the sea to attack Taiwan, but it is too late to rescue."

"What about the food and soldiers?"

"With Haicheng, it is equivalent to having a gateway on the mainland, and the domain can rein in the routs and re-recruit troops." Liu Guoxuan swore an oath. "As for the salary, Dongning is sleepy, but Qiongzhou has more than enough input." The so-called surplus is because the number of troops decreased after the defeat of the Zheng army, not because Qiongzhou imported more. "It can be supported for a while, or it can be turned around."

"This?"

Seeing that Zhu Jin was still hesitating, Feng Xifan hurriedly strengthened his determination: "Your Majesty, when you decide, you will decide." ”

"Then as Qing and the others said, let's continue to stick to it."

Liu Guoxuan and Feng Xifan glanced at each other, and both bowed their heads and responded: "No!" ”
