On the eighteenth day of the first month of the thirty-seventh year of Yongli, Zheng Kezhang convened a military meeting in the Yinluan Hall of Anping City, more than a dozen commanders, commanders, and town generals gathered together, Zheng Shengying, who was the right to participate in politics, and Hong Lei, Ke Ping, and Wang Jinzhong, the chief officer of the Military Division, and Zhang Xueyao, the deputy director, also attended the meeting.

"The minister thinks that today's shape is similar to the scene before the country's conquest of Taiwan." Zhou Yunlong, the commander-in-chief of the second town of the Water Division, stood up at the beginning of the meeting and said that he was not optimistic about the current situation, and even used Zheng Chenggong's forced eastward expedition to Taiwan as an introduction. "The minister asked Shisun to immediately divide his troops to attack Luzon as a way out."
"Attack Luzon?" Chen Zheng, the general of the three towns of the water division, immediately objected. "This is simply ridiculous, not to mention that the current clan does not have the strength to cross the sea expedition, even if it can fight in case Shi Lang chases after him? Wouldn't it be possible to give up Luzon to go to Brunei and Boni? What is the difference between this and a lost dog? "Although Chen Zheng is right about things and not about people, his tone is still very intense." The minister advocated that the soldiers come to block the water and cover the water, and only by blocking Shi Lang can they have the opportunity to find the second and third caves. โ
Jianwei Town General Huang Liangji was also not optimistic about Ming Zheng's existing strength, and immediately retorted after listening to Chen Zheng's words: "There are many coastal ports in Dongning, how does Lord Ye know where Shi Lang will land?" โ
"Where to land? Tamsui is now plagued, if the Qing captives land from Tamsui, then we can easily win without our hands. "The eleventh town of the water division will respond to Huang Jin first." As for going to land from Tamsui, Shengang, Lukang and other places, it is also impossible. Huang Jin explained. First, there was no convenient transportation between the Tamsui Pacification Division and Dongning, and there were many torrents and rivers along the way, so if the Qing army landed at these ports, its progress would inevitably be slow, but the domain could use the official roads to calmly assemble a large army to wait for work. Second, there was a great drought in Dongning and there was a shortage of food, so would the Qing Dynasty dare to use all the capable sailors to cover the sea transportation? If this is the case, this domain should be able to win calmly. Therefore, the minister thought that Shi Lang must still take Penghu first and then map the eastern capital. โ
"That's right, but there have been a lot of defections recently, and if there are traitors leading the way, it may not be impossible for the Qing captives to go straight to the Fengzhu Port." Huang Xueling, the former chief soldier of the water division, said worriedly. "Once the Qing army comes ashore, it will go straight to the heart of the Heavenly Mansion and other places in the heart of the domain, if this shock is afraid that it will be unpredictable."
"If you go straight to the wind and the harbor, then Shi Lang is killing himself." Qiu Hui, the chief soldier of Louchuan Town, agreed with Huang Jin's viewpoint. "Shi Lang knows that it is so important along the Reverse Wind Harbor, and this domain will inevitably settle a large army, if Shi Lang goes ashore here, he will be sniped by this domain, and at this time he has no way to advance, and there is no food and grass supply when he retreats, and he can expect to lose himself." Qiu Hui paused, and then emphasized. "Therefore, the minister thought that the big war would be in Penghu."
Wu Gui, the general of Wuxing Town, did not agree to fight hard with Shi Lang on the Penghu Ocean: "The minister thinks that the Qing army's claim of 100,000 is an exaggeration, but if it has 20,000 or 30,000 people, it will not be inferior to the current domain in terms of troops. โ
"If this doesn't work, if the Qing army comes to Penghu as an outpost in the future, how should this domain respond." Chen Qiming, the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the naval division, resolutely opposed the plan to abandon Penghu without a fight. "In addition, the two years of drought in this domain, the people's grain is exhausted, and most of the military rations are purchased from Guangnan and Siam.
"The odds of victory that Lord Wu Gui said are only five or five, and the minister thinks so, but Penghu has to defend it, in case there is a deviation, what should I do." Xiao Wu, the general of the four towns of the water division, put forward the idea of guarding the retreat again. "Why don't you send a team west to Zhenla, Cham and other places to explore the way, so as to be prepared."
The generals quarreled fiercely, and Wang Jinzhong and Zhang Xueyao were like clay sculptures, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help frowning, so he coughed lightly, which made the hinted martial artists stop.
I heard Zheng Kezhang ask Hong Lei: "Hong Qing, you are also in charge of the camp and the warehouse, and I ask you, is the military food enough?" โ
Without any hesitation, Hong Lei opened his mouth and said: "There are still more than 40,000 stone of military rations in each warehouse, and more than 600 barrels of salted fish and pickled whale meat, which are enough to feed the whole army for half a year." Another 12,000 stone of dried sweet potatoes and other items are prepared to supply the people of Chengtian, Tianxing, and Wannian, and can be misappropriated if they are urgently needed in the army. โ
Zheng Kezhang nodded, since the military rations were guaranteed, what was left was the commander's determination, so he turned his head and asked Liu Guoxuan: "Wu Pingbo, how do you think this matter should be decided?" โ
Liu Guoxuan stroked his beard and said calmly: "Dongning soup and martial arts, fertile soil is suitable for farming, vegetables and fruits, less apologies and more abundance; There is also sugar, salt, bamboo and wood. Merchant ships in the market, deer musk deer, rare birds, famous materials, exotic flowers, leather armor, copper and iron, can not be used; Millions of soldiers, thousands of ships, guns, artifacts, sulfur, and strange medicines, don't wait for him to ask for them. Surrounded by the sea and mountains, the sky is not allowed to enter. If you see the benefits, you will be slightly enterprising, and the coast will be connected; If there is no profit, stick to the farmer, and everyone is self-sufficient. Fortunately, in order to overlord, the world is inadequate. If the husband's destiny is unusual, people's hearts are fresh and solid, and internal and external troubles are intertwined, then the husband and the world are rich, and the death can be waited! (Note: Liu Guoxuan's words are from the Taiwanese literature series "The Beginning and End of Taiwan's Zheng Family?") Volume VI)"
After a long and verbose speech, Liu Guoxuan said categorically: "This is comparable to the solidity of Cuihan, since you should resist the enemy at sea, as for the move of finding a way to escape without a fight, it will shake the morale of the army, and it is absolutely impossible!" โ
Liu Guoxuan immediately glanced at Zhou Yunlong, Xiao Wu and others, and then looked at Wu Gui, and finally retracted his gaze to the square inch in front of him: "Several adults have made it very clear, the Qing army must attack Penghu first, and the minister thinks that Penghu's defense has been quite perfect, and it should be attacked by the Qing captives in Penghu. โ
Zheng Kezhang knew that Liu Guoxuan had indeed spent considerable energy on the garrison of Penghu, including the construction of Kecheng forts in Niangma Palace, Wind Cabinet Tail, Sijiao Island, and Jilongyu, and the setting up forts in Dongying, Xiying, Inner Trench, Outer Trench, Xiyutou, Niuxinshan and other places, especially the low wall that was more than 20 miles long, and used a considerable amount of cement and stone.
Since Liu Guoxuan was full of confidence in the defense system he had single-handedly established, Zheng Kezhang was naturally happy to see it come true, so he asked: "Since Wu Pingbo has made up his mind, Yu is naturally trustworthy, what else do you need Yu and the princes of the Political Hall to do?" Is there a need to strengthen the troops? โ
"Penghu is narrow, and Lu Shi doesn't need a lot, just one or two towns are enough." Although Liu Guoxuan had been prepared for a long time, he was still speaking slowly and logically at this moment, as if he had just thought of it. "However, the sailors should be mobilized as much as possible, and if the number of military ships is not enough, the grandson is also required to allocate merchant ships and civilian ships."
Merchant vessel? Civilian ships? Zheng Kezang bared his teeth, it turned out that he was waiting for himself here. You must know that when he withdrew from Siming and returned to Taiwan that year, he drastically converted more than 10,000 veterans and more than 130 warships of all kinds into civilian ships and merchant ships.
But at the moment of the great enemy, Zheng Kezhang seemed to have to rely on this prestigious commander, so he just smiled: "Wu Pingbo's request is not too much, naval battle, of course, there are more ships than fewer ships, so that the orders are stationed in Dagou, Lukang and other places of the naval divisions and the five elements, five soldiers and two towns are all transferred to Penghu, the right tiger guard general He You led the five constants, Wutong and two towns to hold the freshwater, and still transferred ten merchant ships to be transported, Ding Xibo led the second town of Rongqi, the fourth town of Rongqi, Wuxuan Town, the right Huwei town to guard Lugang, the middle governor of Zhongzhen Hong Gongzhu rate Jianwei Town, Jianwei Right Town, Xuanyi Town, and Right Wuwei Town garrisoned the ports of the wind, and the Scout Sailor Battalion took over the port of Dagou, and the rest of the departments were backed by General Yu Zi as Wu Pingbo. โ
Liu Guoxuan frowned, Zheng Kezhang seemed to be generous in transferring most of the Zheng army's sailors to himself, but he did not agree to further requisition the construction of merchant ships, so that there were only about 200 ships that could really be used for naval warfare, and there was still a gap between him and his earlier budget.
But Zheng Kezang's words had already been finished, and Liu Guoxuan couldn't continue to be silent, so he pondered for a moment, and then leaned over and responded: "The minister receives the order, and the minister will never live up to the expectations of the grandson, and he will definitely defeat Shi Lang and sacrifice his dog head in front of the spirit of the first king." โ
"Okay, good," Zheng Kezhang applauded repeatedly, as if he was really moved by Liu Guoxuan's bold words, and after the joy on his face faded, Zheng Kezhang glanced at Zheng Xingying, who was watching this coldly. "Then there is Lao Zheng's political participation."
Zheng Xingying bowed to Zheng Kezang, then stood in front of the hundred officials, took out a long-drafted edict from his wide sleeve and read it aloud: "But Wuping Hou is blocking the universe, and the righteousness is the moon and the day." The electric switch is driven by the wind, and the courage to look at Liu Zhizhi; Yu Zhang was horrified, and his anger shook Yue's army. The plants and trees are known by their names, and the buildings and boats are also strong. Zit ordered the Governor of Zhuzhen to drive my large and small warships to guard Penghu and intercept the captives. In the Ichthyosaurus team, the heroic who is the only one with murderous spirit; In the sound of thunderclaps, I saw the powder of the enemy boat. Won't you rest?"
Liu Guoxuan immediately turned over and knelt down, raised his hands to accept the order handed over by Zheng Xingying, and then kowtowed to Zheng Kezhang and said: "Meng Shisun trusts, the minister will go"
Zheng Kezhang sat alone on the chair, looking at the empty Yinluan Palace, he couldn't help but feel fluctuating, Shi Lang's attack was the second big hurdle he encountered after Feng Xifan's rebellion, and it was also the life-and-death moment of the Han regime in Dongning, so he naturally would not pin all his reliance on Liu Guoxuan.
"Someone," Zheng Kezhang called softly, and a guard quickly flashed out of the shadows. "Go and ask the Boy Scout Yard to call the horse contractor and the Su assistant here." The guards just wanted to leave, but Zheng Kezhang corrected. "No, you don't have to let them come, you go directly to the rumor, let Ma Yuan take over the Zhenhai Shipyard of the Ordnance Division, Tang Tong take over the Ninglan Shipyard of the Construction Division, Wu Hu will take over the Dingbo Shipyard, and as for the Boy Scout Shipyard, it will be handed over to Li Ping, and then you will notify the Military Affairs Department and promote the four of them to one level to be used from the fifth grade." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang stood up. "Then arrange the Su assistant office to inspect the shipyards and rush to build them from now on"
