As soon as the New Year passed, Zhu Jin led the right tiger guard Xu Yao and Qianchong Zhen Hongyu to Chaozhou. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
In the same month, Zheng's army attacked the entire territory of Guangdong in multiple ways. At this time, Shang Kexi was already in a state of critical illness, and Wu Sangui's Zhou army was also approaching Guangzhou from the Zhaoqing and Shaoguan lines, and the people of Guangzhou were panicked, and many Shang soldiers absconded from the front line, including Miao Zhixiu, the chief soldier of Jieshi Town, who also surrendered to the Ming and Zheng sides, and it seemed that the shape was very good.
"Mr. Chen, my father has been singing triumphantly all the way recently, and I am very happy to hear it." But the blessing and the misfortune depend, Zheng Kezhang knew very well that the victory in Guangdong could not get the Zheng army out of the situation of being surrounded by friendly troops, and at this time, a wrong step would be a catastrophe. "But after checking the map in the past few days, I found that the exit of this domain was not good, and I don't know if Mr. Chen also found out."
Chen Yonghua thought that Zheng Kezhang was here to fight the autumn breeze again, but after hearing a few words, his face suddenly became solemn. In view of Zheng Kezang's identity and his previous good appearance, Chen Yonghua had to pay attention to the other party's alarmism. For this reason, Chen Yonghua immediately asked people to find a map of Fujian and Guangdong and carefully examine it.
After watching it for a long time, Chen Yonghua raised his head a little puzzled and asked Zheng Kezhang for advice: "Although the military strategy is not the head of the servant, the servant can be regarded as having fought with the lord of the country and the king for many years, and he is not ignorant, but the servant can't see what is wrong with the situation of the domain, and he asks the eldest prince for advice." ”
"Mr. Chen is a heavy minister of his father, how dare Yu say advice." As he spoke, Zheng Kezhang took the map from Chen Yonghua and spread it on several cases. "Mr. Chen, look, now the north of the domain and the Geng domain divide Fujian Province, and the south is advancing into Guangzhou." Chen Yonghua nodded, these are clearly written on the Tang copy. "Shang Kexi's father and son have been in the west of the mountain, belonging to the local chicken and tile dog are vulnerable, and the Zhou army has also approached Guangzhou from the western front, if Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin do not surrender, the two armies will encircle Guangzhou, and the shape of Guangdong will naturally swing."
"What the eldest prince said is true, but isn't it a good thing to capture Guangzhou and get rid of the troubles of the henchmen on the southern front?"
"A good thing? Not necessarily. Zheng Kezhang picked up a pen and paper, traced a map in white, and then wrote a few words on the newly drawn map and circled it with a pen. Mr. Chen, please see, the Zhou army occupied Hunan, Guangxi, western Guangdong, and northern Guangdong, and blocked the road to the northwest of the domain; The southeast is a vast ocean, and naturally there is no way to advance; Geng's army occupied western Fujian and northern Fujian, and cut off southern Jiangxi and western Zhejiang; This domain is equivalent to being enclosed in a big cage, and there is more than enough to retreat, but he can't enter, does Mr. think his father will be willing to kill the army? Zheng Kezhang didn't give Chen Yonghua time to think about it, but just said it directly. The Zhou army is strong, and the clan should not clash with it, the Geng clan is weak, and the Wentai attack in the past year was defeated by the northern captives"
Chen Yonghua cut off Zheng Kezang's words: "Didn't the eldest prince think that this clan would fight with Geng Fan again in the future?" ”
"There's nothing to worry about rekindling the war with Geng Fan, I'm afraid that Geng Jingzhong or the wolf and the tiger in the past, and finally bowed down to the north again." Zheng Kezhang said worriedly, this is the history of his previous life, if there is no change in this life, Ming Zheng's future is not optimistic. "The elite soldiers of this domain are still fighting with the Geng Second Army, but they have always won less and lost more than the Northern Captives."
"But it's possible." Chen Yonghua's brows also became solemn. "What do you mean?"
"It's best not to fight the North right away." Zheng Kezhang said. "I also ask Mr. Chen to write to my father, if you demarcate the border with the Zhou army, Qiongzhou should be handed over to this domain, and after that, you can either go north to take Zhoushan, or you can go south to attack Luzon!"
"Zhoushan? Luzon? "Take Zhoushan, this Chen Yonghua knows that when the initial agreement to send troops was agreed, Zheng Kezhang made such a suggestion to Zhu Jin on the Yinluan Palace, but take Luzon? There was a plan when the surname of the country was there, but now that the land war is in full swing, it seems a little out of place to transfer troops to fight Luzon, which is far away by sea. "What do you think?"
As long as Zhoushan is in the hands of the domain, the northern captives will inevitably worry that Hangzhou and even the southern Jiangsu provinces will lose, and they will not dare to enter Fujian Province lightly, so that the domain will have time to reorganize the troops and horses. As for taking Luzon in the south, there are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, and since this domain wants to win the mainland, it naturally has to seek defeat before winning."
At the beginning of February, Shang Kexi formally surrendered to Wu Sangui after informing the Qing court of the strategy of succumbing to the enemy to protect the territory. However, at this time, the Qing army had launched a counteroffensive in Hunan, and in order to withdraw the powerful troops as much as possible, Wu Sangui had no choice but to accept the surrender of Shang Fan and canonize Shang Kexi as the Duke of Fude. However, in order to weaken Shang Kexi's power, and also to prevent Ming Zheng from monopolizing the wealthy Guangdong, Wu Sangui signaled Shang Zhixin to send people to negotiate with Ming Zheng, and the two sides divided the land to defend themselves.
After receiving the news that Shang Fan was asking for peace, the criminal officer Ke Ping jumped out again: "Your Majesty, the minister said that he could only take a corner of the land when he went to fight in Fujian and Guangdong, but now it is not true. ”
"If you don't fight, you may not even be able to get this corner of the land." Household official Hong Lei immediately refuted. "What's more, the territory and household registration of the five provinces occupied by this domain are far ten times that of Dongning, so what is the reason why Lord Ke turns a blind eye to such a great military achievement."
"Impressive feats?" Ke Ping pursed his lips disdainfully. "After two years of war, more than 10,000 casualties, and Dai Xiao, a household in Taiwan, is this what Lord Hong said? What's more, this hasn't fought with the Tartar soldiers, if you fight with the Tartars, won't the entire Taiwan men have to die for the great exploits of Lord Hong! ”
"Can there be immortals in war?" Hong Lei distinguished. "Besides, isn't it already decided to immigrate to Taiwan?"
"That's it, stop fighting." Zhu Jin snorted, and the two people with red faces and thick necks took a step back in unison. "Say something useful." Zhu Jin threw a piece of music on the stage. "This is Chen Qing's concert from Taiwan, Qing and others can take a look." Everyone took turns to pass it on, and when everyone finished reading it, Zhu Jin asked. "What do you think?"
"Although General Envoy Chen is in Taiwan, his eyes are like torches," several courtiers said similar things one after another, after all, there are many delays in the news obtained by Taiwan, and Chen Yonghua can anticipate the enemy first, and he can already be regarded as strategizing. "Now that the Shang clan is bent on seeking peace, it is not impossible to ask for the Qiongzhou Mansion, and if you think about it, the Lord of Zhou will not be unhappy with the domain for a mere place."
"Lonely, I don't want to listen to Qing and others say these useless words." Zhu Jin swept everyone and clicked. "Chen Shenwu, you come on."
"The minister thinks that the three caves of the cunning rabbit said by the general system of Chen are very reasonable, the land of the five counties of Fujian and Guangdong may be regarded as a cave, and Dongning can also be regarded as a cave, although Qiongzhou is remote, but if it can be operated properly, it can be said that it is a cave, as for Luzon, it is too remote, and it is not appropriate to make too many enemies, so the minister thinks that the implementation can be suspended."
As soon as these words came out, some of the town generals who were unwilling to cross the sea showed a relaxed look on their faces, but Zhu Jin was not fooled by Chen Shenwu, but further asked: "Does Naqing think it is feasible to go north to Zhoushan?" ”
Chen Shenwu had already learned the origin of this letter from Chen Yonghua's private letter, and he was unwilling to accept Zheng Kezang's proposal, so he just repeated the same old tune: "It is not impossible to take Zhoushan to threaten the back road of the Qing army in Zhejiang, but it is still necessary to discuss it for Geng Jingzhong." ”
Zhu Jin listened, nodded noncommittally, and then turned his gaze to Feng Xifan. "What about Feng Qing's opinion?"
"The minister thinks that Hainan can be occupied but not defended," Feng Xifan said on the matter. "The strait between Qionglei is very narrow, and you can land everywhere, no matter how many sailors there are, it is not enough to hold it, so the minister believes that the so-called claim of Qiongzhou by General Chen is just to seize the population of Dongning, and is not dedicated to finding a place to retreat for this domain. As for the peace that was discussed, the domain was surrounded on three sides and could not advance an inch, and once it entered the Geng domain, it would surrender to the Qing Dynasty, although there was some truth in the statement, but it was not false that he was afraid of the might of the northern captives. The so-called taking Zhoushan in the north and Luzon in the south is nothing more than an excuse to avoid fighting with the northern captives. ”
"But it is true that there should be no conflict with Geng Fan to cause it to be re-liquidated." Ke Ping suddenly interjected. "The minister thinks that the newly attached armies may not be obedient, and even if they are obedient, they may not dare to surrender to the north, so it is better to transfer the Luzon envoys to the south to fight Luzon, stay behind after the war, and then send their families into Taiwan, so as to eliminate the trouble of the henchmen."
"Although there is no need to go on an expedition to Luzon," although there are still differences in subtle aspects, this time Hong Lei and Ke Ping are on the same camp. "However, after the peace with the Shang Domain, there will be no war in this domain for a while, so we should calmly reorganize the newly attached armies and rectify the good and bad, so as not to raise tigers in the future."
"As soon as the two adults said this, the minister agreed to send troops to Zhoushan." Feng Xifan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly revised his original intention. "Although Miao Zhixiu, the sailor of Jieshi Town, has already thrown himself into this domain, after all, he has broken ties with Shang Zhixin and others, so if he doesn't follow, he can also make him take the old land of Taiping (note: that is, Yuhuan) County, so that he can find a foothold in the north for his domain while helping Geng Jingzhong's troops to capture Wentai."
The disposal of the new annexed army was also proposed by Zheng Kezang, and it had been shelved by Chen Shenwu for a long time, so now when he heard it, he had to bring it up again, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "If Miao Zhixiu does not comply, and the new attached army is afraid of causing chaos, how should it be handled?" ”
"Then it is all the more necessary to move all the dependents of the officers and soldiers of all ministries to Taiwan." Ke Ping said with a decisive slash, his face was full of inexplicable killing intent at this moment. "Whoever does not procrastinate, must have a ghost in his heart, should be dismissed immediately, if there is any change, should be transferred to the elite troops in the domain to eliminate the trouble."
"Wouldn't that forever cut off the way for latecomers to take refuge, inappropriate, inappropriate, really inappropriate." Chen Shenwu shook his head hurriedly. "Now that the Geng clan has shown its decline, I can't say that the generals under his domain are preparing to return to their own domain, if they follow the strategy of driving the fish to the cong to drive the birds, I don't know if it will be pushed to the side of the Qing court?"
"This?" Chen Shenwu's move of attacking his own shield with his own spear was used well, and he stopped a few people at once, and Ke Ping had to argue strongly. "Chen Zanhua's words that the soldiers of the Geng clan want to surrender to their own domain are mostly speculative, and the king can't believe it."
"Isn't it speculation that Geng Fan will descend to the Qing Dynasty?" Chen Shenwu cross-examined, although he is Chen Yonghua's nephew, if he draws a clear line with his uncle in his actions, maybe Zhu Jin will be more happy. "Rebellion is a heinous crime, the Qing court will not take it lightly, Geng Jingzhong should not be so unwise!"
As the debate became white-hot again, the low-grade civil officials who were not involved in the quarrel whispered on the side: "It's better not to get into trouble with him (Geng Fan)." ”
The town generals thought about the bigger territory and military exploits, and refuted with a shy stomach: "Geng Fan is only a defeated general, are you afraid that they will not succeed!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't delay such a matter." Seeing the displeasure on Zhu Jin's face, Feng Xifan said knowingly. "Let's wait for the results of the peace with Shang Fan to come out."
"That's it"
