Time passed unconsciously, and the posture of the two people squatting on the ground did not change much, except that Zhu Yongxing sat on a brick with a towel.

Teasing puppies, this may be regardless of age, but it is a little surprising that it has been so long. To be honest, puppies are indeed cute, but that's not the only reason for Zhu Yongxing to stay so long.

"This is only greedy enough, hold it in your mouth!" Zhu Yongxing didn't use much strength, just tried a little and let go.

"It's just a dark eye, and it looks naughty." Zhu Yongxing seemed to think of an image of a dog in a cartoon and smiled happily.

"I don't have a name yet, but when I grow up, it's easy to get mixed up now." There are indeed three that can't see obvious features, and even if they are named, it is estimated that they will be able to tell which one they are the next day.

…………

The's eyes softened, her wariness faded, and she was a little drowsy.

Duan Wan'er became more and more relaxed from the initial surprise, and the conversation became casual, and she asked and answered questions with Zhu Yongxing, and chatted very harmoniously.

No one knows the loneliness of Zhu Yongxing, the loneliness of being in a superior position, the loneliness of having modern thinking and not being able to fully integrate into the times.

He likes to play football, and he has set up this sport specifically for the army to pass the free time, but he can't play in person. Even if it is over, in the case of everyone trembling and scrambling to avoid it, it feels boring.

He loves to travel, he loves adventure, and he is willing to revel in the beauty of nature, and the high mountains, deep valleys, rapids and rapids cannot stop his steps. But now, his identity, his attendants, and the care and affection of all people for him have erased this pleasure.

He still likes this, he likes that, but he can't enjoy it as much as he wants. He's. But it is not absurd, it is grateful, it is lovely, and it is impossible to forget it. So he can't accept it when he sees a beautiful woman, he treats liking and hating the old as amorous and arrogant, and forgets the woman he has been close to.

Climb to the top of power. This used to be his ideal, but he didn't achieve his goal, and he already felt lonely. Friends, friends who can laugh and be honest with each other, are becoming more and more impossible for Zhu Yongxing. Be careful in your words and deeds, and be in line with your identity, this kind of restriction is like a shackle that makes him very uncomfortable.

"Hmm. It's still a bit chilly here, so move them indoors! Zhu Yongxing looked at the puppy clinging to the female dog and trembled a little, and couldn't help but feel pity.

"Then move to the subordinate room!" Duan Wan'er said with some joy: "There are few people in the house, so there is no need for special people to take care of them." ”

"Hehe, if you want to be like the kind of cultivation method in the original Shang Rebellion Mansion, you don't dare to ask for it!" Zhu Yongxing smiled and said, "How ordinary people raise their families, you can raise them." There are criticisms such as 'Young Master Dog' and 'Miss Cat', and the Lone King is also unforgiving. ”

"My subordinates understand." Duan Wan'er smiled. said: "A little leftovers, it won't tarnish His Highness's reputation, right?" ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly, and also felt that he was becoming more and more cautious, and he had no potential to be a faint monarch, but was teased by Duan Wan'er.

"Lonely, let the guards move these little things to your room for the time being!" Zhu Yongxing got up slowly and brushed his clothes.

Duan Wan'er hurriedly straightened up. I didn't want to squat for too long, my legs and feet were numb, but I realized it at this time, and I couldn't help but scream and leaned to the side.

Zhu Yongxing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help. grabbed Duan Wan'er's wrist with one hand, but wrapped the girl's waist with the other.

The two of them stuck together, and the breath of their breath could be smelled, Duan Wan'er's face revealed a flush, and she was shy, trying to distance herself and stand firm.

The girl's body fragrance filled her nose, and what Zhu Yongxing saw was the delicate and white skin of Duan Wan'er's neck, and the soft waist on her hands, and she couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart. Almost without thinking, he slammed into his arms and hugged Duan Wan'er into his arms, and in the girl's stunned eyes, hot kisses continued to fall on his face, neck, and lips.

Although Duan Wan'er was looking forward to this moment, she had never been so intimate with a man, and it was inevitable to be dazed and frightened, but this was psychology, not resistance to action. Tight hugs, fanatical kisses, strange feelings occupy the girl's heart.

Speaking of Zhu Yongxing, is this impulsive, of course. But from a psychological point of view, he did this, of course, because of Duan Wan'er's beauty, and on the other hand, because he knew that Duan Wan'er would not resist. If a man knows that a beautiful woman is obedient to his behavior, then how many people can be polite and not messy?

Therefore, there have been many debaucherous monarchs in the past dynasties, which is really due to the objective environment. Surrounded by beautiful people, it is quite difficult to control it!

……………

At the head of Meizhou City, Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, and Wu Sanxing, the chief of staff, stood side by side, watching the righteous people repair the damaged city walls in full swing, but they were talking about the future battle plan.

"Is it too passive to meet the enemy in Meizhou?" It is not surprising that Ma Bao has positive thoughts, and the success of the Crusade has increased his confidence.

"Does the prince want to defeat the Qing army in a field battle?" Wu Sanxing was very keen to guess Ma Bao's thoughts.

"Well, I do." Ma Bao nodded and admitted, "Is Your Highness too cautious, there are only a few thousand people in the Eight Banners, can you defeat our well-equipped army of tens of thousands?" ”

Cautious, Ma Bao said politely and subtly, but Wu Sansheng knew that the real meaning of the word Lu Dao was actually "timid" or "afraid of the enemy". Of course, Ma Bao wants to defeat the Manmeng Eight Banners in the field, and most of his thoughts are also for himself.

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's civil and military generals have always talked about the Eight Banners Army, and the Han bureaucrats attached to the Qing court often asked the court to send "real Manchuria" to the war whenever the military situation was urgent. For example, in the sixth year of Shunzhi, Xu Yong, the general soldier of Hu Guangchen, said in the inscription: "In short, the rebel thief is afraid of the full army, but not the southern soldier, the southern soldier is like a cloud, how can he be like a brigade full of flags." ”

The Eight Banners of Manchuria also regarded themselves as the pride of the sky and invincible. Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, waved his army to fight for thousands of miles, killing the two kings of the Qing Dynasty in a row, especially killing Nikan, the commander of the Manchurian powerhouse who was the prince, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Qing army. As far as the Qing side is concerned, the loss of troops may be secondary, and more important is the psychological role and mental depression.

Obviously, the defeat of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was enough to make a name for himself all over the world, and enough to make the feat reach another peak. If it is a field battle, it is more golden. The reputation can directly follow the Jin King Li Dingguo.

Wu Sanxing guessed Ma Bao's thoughts, and felt that according to the current equipment and strength of the Ming army, there was still a chance of victory. But out of caution, he did not immediately agree to agree, but said euphemistically: "Infantry phalanx to meet the Manchurian Eight Banners, supplemented by the might of artillery." The odds are there. But now our army does not have enough ammunition, and it needs to act cautiously. Meizhou is the eastern barrier of Guangzhou, as long as it is not lost, it is a great achievement. Otherwise, the relocation of His Royal Highness and the relocation of the government will not be implemented smoothly. ”

Victory is famous, defeat is - although Marble has this ambition, he also thinks about the consequences of failure. Wu Sanxing's reminder finally dispelled his positive thoughts. Relocation, relocation. This is the most important matter, and His Royal Highness Min has not announced it to the public, but he is worried about the safety of Guangzhou.

"Well, it's better to be on the safe side!" Ma Bao reluctantly accepted Wu Sanxing's suggestion, "Then the important thing is to hoard ammunition and train soldiers, so that Meizhou is safe and His Highness is worry-free." However, it is indeed a bit passive to defend the city, so it is better to send a small number of troops to make a tentative advance. Or you can find the terrain that is conducive to field battles, so be prepared! ”

"What the prince said is exactly the best solution." Wu Sansheng saw Ma Bao to accept the opinion. He also made flexible concessions, and said with a smile: "It is really clever to focus on stubbornly defending and counterattacking, supplemented by breaking the enemy in the field." ”

"Hehe, what a clever one, made fun of it." Ma Bao humbled a sentence. He also continued to inspect the city with Wu Sansheng.

……………

Meizhou has fallen, and Chaozhou has also been victorious. Xu Long was born in the sea, and he also had the habit of fighting as a seaman, avoiding reality and making up for nothing, and lacked the courage and ability to fight tough battles. After the defeat of the Ming army outside the city. Knowing that it was difficult to hold on, he abandoned the city and fled.

Although Xu Long still had a lot of men and horses when he went out of the east of the city, on the way because of the discouragement of the army and "most of them scattered", Zheng Bin, the deputy general of the left battalion, Shen Yuanqing, the guerrilla of the rear battalion, and other subordinates returned to Chaozhou to surrender, and less than 2,000 people followed Xu Long into Fujian Province.

Xu Long didn't expect that abandoning the city and fleeing finally touched the feelings of his subordinates that "it is difficult to leave their homeland", and the retreat turned into a rout. But he could only be saddened, and with the remnants of the defeated army, he was ready to take refuge in Li Shutai, the governor of Fujian, who was in Zhangzhou.

The Ming army approached Fujian Province, causing panic among the Qing army in Fujian Province, and it was the Zheng army that attacked Fujian Province first. The Ming army sent troops to Chaozhou and quickly conquered it, which made the hesitant Zheng Jing very annoyed and regretted. Both want to benefit, but refuse to work hard, and play too well in small abacus, this is Zheng Jing's biggest weakness.

He originally thought that while proposing conditions to Zhu Yongxing, he would wait for the Ming army to enter Meizhou and cut off the possibility of Meizhou reinforcing Chaozhou, and then send troops to attack Chaozhou. But he didn't expect that the Ming army would adopt a two-headed strategy of attacking together, Meizhou wanted to attack, and Chaozhou would not let go.

At this time, Zheng Jing realized that he was too arrogant, and the situation in the southeast was no longer completely controlled by the Zheng family. At the same time, he also saw Zhu Yongxing's attitude towards the Zheng family, that is, not to be an enemy and not to rely on, let alone to whisper and ask for each other as he thought. To put it bluntly, that is, you are not like you, don't treat yourself as a dish.

Chaozhou will not be obtained, and even the coastal areas of Guangdong will no longer have a foothold for the Zheng family. Zheng Jing also knew in his heart that in terms of appeal, the Zheng family was not as good as the "imperial court" headed by Zhu Yongxing; In terms of treatment, the Ming army is also much higher than the Zheng army; In terms of the extent and means of benevolence, the Zheng family, which was purely for the purpose of collecting grain and raising wages, was even more invincible. Therefore, even if the Ming army cedes the recovered territory to the Zheng family, the people's will not be tilted, and the resistance to requisition of grain and salary will be very great.

But the Zheng army must act, and the desire of the generals and soldiers for land is difficult to suppress. In the case of the Ming army's continuous siege of cities and land, if they still defend isolated islands, it is inevitable that the army's morale will be unstable. In that case, it is inevitable that someone will learn from Chen Ba and go to Zhu Yongxing. In particular, the biggest problem for Cantonese soldiers moving to Taiwan is the four words "it is difficult to leave the homeland."

Therefore, after consulting with the generals, Zheng Jing sent troops to land and attack Zhao'an and Dongshan counties at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong. Similar to Zhu Yongxing's view, Zheng Jing believed that the Ming army's capture of Meizhou and Chaozhou had already contained the Qing army in Fujian Province, and that the Zheng army's actions in the coastal areas would have much less resistance.

From a geographical point of view, it was more convenient for the Zheng army, which occupied the islands of Jinxia, Nanao, and Tongshan, to attack Fujian Province. The relocation order also made the thirty-mile coastal area a defensive vacuum for the Qing army, and the landing of the Zheng army and the establishment of a bridgehead were very smooth without resistance. Then, after the reorganized landing force broke through the relocation defense line constructed by forts and chimneys that resembled the Great Wall, and after capturing Zhao'an and Dongshan counties, Zheng Jing, who was happy with his victory, ordered Liu Guoxuan to lead his troops to attack Yunxiao and Zhangpu, which seemed to have the potential to seize Zhangzhou.

The common people are simple, especially the coastal people who have suffered from the relocation of the coastal border, and they have also given human and material support to the arrival of Zheng Jun.

The Qing army in Fujian Province, which was close to Guangdong, suddenly became empty because of the reinforcements from Meizhou. Zheng Jing chose this area as the target of the counteroffensive, but also to take advantage of the momentum of the Ming army, Mei and Chao Erzhou were owned by the Ming army, and the Zheng army seized Fujian Province before the Ming army, at least to ensure that the land soldiers and horses were safe and would not be attacked from the east and west.

The Zheng family soldiers, who were mostly Fujian nationals, finally set foot on their homeland and burst out with great enthusiasm for fighting, not only capturing several county seats, but also intercepting and killing the remnants of Xu Long's troops who retreated from Guangdong. This time, although Xu Long escaped again, he was almost left alone, and the situation was even more miserable.

At this time, the Zheng family had not yet been in civil strife, Zheng Tai, Zhou Quanbin, Du Hui, Hong Xu, Liu Guoxuan and other fierce generals were still there, and their strength was not greatly damaged.

The Ming army and the Zheng family were not known to the Qing army, the Ming army captured Chaomei Erzhou, forced Fujian Province, and the Zheng army landed and stormed, and the two seemed to be negotiating properly and coordinating their actions. This forced the Qing army to consider it holistically, counting the strength and actions of the Ming army and the Zheng army, which immediately made the Qing army feel that the situation was critical and at a loss.

The Zheng army attacked southwest Fujian, and did not forget to contain Shi Lang's department, which was most likely to threaten Jin and Xiamen at sea. Zheng Jing thought that Shi Lang was unprepared, so he sent his deputy general Lin Wei to lead several warships to Haicheng, intending to burn Shi Lang's newly built warships here. But Shi Lang had already prepared, and secretly sent the sailor to lie in wait for Zheng Jun to come and suddenly appear, killing Lin Wei by surprise. In this battle, Shi Lang killed Lin Wei, captured 125 Zheng soldiers alive, and captured his ship. The strength of the Zheng army in this battle was not greatly reduced, but the morale of the Zheng army was greatly affected.

A thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, Shi Lang and Huang Wu are undoubtedly the two guys that the Zheng family hates the most and is quite jealous of. Because in Fujian Province, these two people knew water warfare, and each had a naval division, which could pose a threat to the islands occupied by the Zheng army. At this time, Zheng Jing, who had suffered a small setback, began to seriously consider the possibility of joining forces with the Ming army sailors to jointly attack Shi Lang and Huang Wu.
