Chapter 118: Zheng Chenggong Fights Back at Portugal and the Netherlands

Zhang Biwu didn't know that even if Shunzhi didn't agree, Da Yu'er, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng had already bypassed Shunzhi and got in touch with Dolgon.

Zhang Biwu has been probing the situation on this side of Beijing, and he knows that Shunzhi has not reconciled with Dolgon, but Shunzhi has issued an edict to Hong Chengchou and asked Hong Chengchou to step up the attack.

Zhang Biwu breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Biwu is stepping up the training of his cavalry, which originally had more than 30,000, but now with another 50,000, his cavalry can reach 80,000. That's a considerable number, and with such a great power, how can you be afraid of others?

Zhang Biwu even received reports from Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, and their strength also developed rapidly, and they all wanted to go on a northern expedition as soon as possible to drive all the Manchus out of Lu, so they wrote letters again and again asking for war.

Zhang Biwu agreed, he waited for Zheng Chenggong and others to go north, and Zhang Biwu also had to prepare military horses.

Zhang Biwu didn't know that if he let Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huang enter with the main force, Zheng Chenggong's lair would be lost, because the Netherlands and Portugal were in cahoots! This is a later story, and we will have to tell it later.

At this time, news kept coming, saying that the Manchu Qing and Wu Sangui were eyebrows. The Manchu Qing Dynasty even persuaded Wu Sangui with the reason that if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Wu Sangui would not be able to survive forever.

Moreover, the Manchu Qing said that they were willing to rule the north and south with Wu Sangui, but they refused to exist with Zhang Biwu for one day.

Of course, Zhang Biwu knew that these news were flying all over the sky, and it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty that was spreading it! But for Wu Sangui, you can't be careless! As the rumors said, Wu Sangui said that he wanted the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be able to keep it, and everyone could divide the world into three parts. It is not the other two that dominate except Wu Sangui.

Prevention is inevitable. Zhang Biwu left an army to guard against Wu Sangui. He was in more than half a year. The accumulation of grain and grass coincides with a bumper harvest, and the grain and grass reserves have increased greatly, and it is possible to fight.

Besides, Zhang Biwu was afraid that once Shunzhi united with Dolgon, it would be even more critical. Taking advantage of their lack of unity, they quickly sent troops to attack the territory in the north that was occupied by the Manchus. Restore the original land of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, after closing the door, you will be able to slowly clean up Wu Sangui, and the most important thing is to recover Liaodong.

Now take the opportunity to drive the Manchus out of the city first, don't wait until the Manchus are united to act, it will be too late!

Moreover, if the Manchus were driven out of the Guan, it would be a heavy blow to the sick Dolgon!

Dolgon's illness was very serious, and Zhang Biwu had heard about it many times before, and took advantage of his illness to kill him. This is the best respect for him!

Zhang Biwu launched a fierce offensive against Hong Chengchou and Yue Le, and Hong Chengchou and Yue Le were supporting. Resisting, it was not so easy for Zhang Biwu to eliminate them.

Zhang Biwu was probing the news of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, and knew that they had gathered troops in Yingtian, and they were about to have a north-south attack.

It's just that what makes Zhang Biwu feel strange is that Hong Chengchou and Yue Le's defenses are not very tight, and they don't seem to pay attention to Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan's attack.

When Zhang Biwu was strange, the reason came out!

The Netherlands and Portugal have marched into Fujian! Both Xiamen and Fujian have been violently attacked by foreign insults! If it is not saved, the land will fall, which is far more worrying and reluctant than falling into the hands of the Manchus!

There is only one point, how can the Netherlands and Portugal take advantage of the fact that they are now attacking?

Because after Hong Chengchou used a trick to get Zhang Biwu's words before, Shunzhi's attitude towards Dolgon was somewhat relaxed.

Then Shunzhi made contact with the Dutch envoy, and then came into contact with the Franc machine, that is, the Portuguese envoy.

Shunzhi told Portugal that if the franc function could help him drag Zhang Biwu's attention behind his back and make Zhang Biwu unable to deal with him with all his might, he would no longer be like the Ming Dynasty and before, Portugal occupied Macau and only paid rent, and he would give Macau to Portugal.

At the same time, the Netherlands will also get Taiwan, including Xiamen, which is a verbal promise, no matter how to say, Xiamen and Taiwan are regarded as nests by Zheng Chenggong. If the Netherlands wanted to get Taiwan and Xiamen, they naturally had to go to war with Zheng Chenggong.

The Dutch saw how powerful Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong were, and they didn't dare to hold it anymore, so they united with Portugal.

Portugal saw that it was profitable, and it could also share the share of trade with Japan and China, which had previously been interrupted by the Netherlands and could not trade with Japan, but now that it could, of course they were excited.

The two super robbers have reached an agreement that they will work together to attack Zheng Chenggong's lair, Xiamen.

Of course, the Dutch and Portugal would not be so stupid, they would jump out to occupy Xiamen and other places when the main force of Zheng's army moved to Nanjing and was ready to join forces with Zhang Biwu on the Northern Expedition.

This can be expected by Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, they are waiting, and when the time is right, let the Netherlands and Portugal start to attack!

At that time, it depends on how Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan choose, do they want to protect the nest? Or continue to march and attack from the north to the south! This gave Zhang Biwu a difficult problem for them, how should they do it?

The Manchus also pretended to say that China's territory must not fall into the hands of foreign countries, and that the Manchus were willing to go all out to drive back the Netherlands and Portugal, and they would do whatever it took to maintain the unity of the motherland! After all, the Manchus have an unshirkable duty in this regard, this is their sacred duty!

It's better to say than to sing! is like a defender, and he regards himself as the orthodox dynasty of China! What is the duty, the sacred duty!

After Zhang Biwu heard this, of course he knew the meaning of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was difficult for Zhang Biwu to save it, and it was difficult to save it if he didn't save it. If he was saved, he would not be able to achieve the strategic goal of attacking the north and south with Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan and defeating the Qing army as soon as possible.

But if he doesn't save him, Zhang Biwu will fall into an extremely dangerous level of reputational damage, didn't he say that China's territory is sacred and inviolable when he recovered Taiwan? It is necessary to return all the land to China's territory, and not a single cent is allowed to be lost!

Zhang Biwu is really difficult, he is thinking about what to do. The north-south flank attack cannot be realized now, so let's see if we come to the north and south to flank the attack in the future, let Zheng Chenggong lead the troops to fight back against Portugal and the Netherlands, and Zhang Huangyan will be stationed in Yingtianfu to make a response.

How can it be said that Zhang Huangyan's army still has 50,000 people, and between the urgency, he can play his due role.

Zhang Biwu decided, he immediately went to order Zheng Chenggong's army to rescue Fujian.

Zhang Biwu still has to mention the flood control Chengchou to attack, he knows that it is difficult to eat Hong Chengchou and Yue Le with his own strength alone, so he can only wait for Zheng Chenggong to defeat the Netherlands and Portugal first, and then the two armies will meet.

Fortunately, the Netherlands and Portugal did not have many troops, and it was easy for Zheng Chenggong to defeat them.

As long as time passes, everything will develop according to Zhang Biwu's expectations. The Manchu collusion with the Dutch and the Portuguese could only keep them alive for a while, and they did not live long.

When Zhang Biwu was happy, he heard that in the far north, Dolgon's cavalry appeared! And with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, it broke straight into Shanxi, and there were not many defenders left by Zhang Biwu in the north of Shanxi, and it was difficult to resist.

After all, in order to eliminate the Qing army in Jiangbei and other places as soon as possible, Zhang Biwu transferred a lot of soldiers here.

Dolgon's army immediately swooped down on the area around Taiyuan and laid siege to it. Taiyuan's emergency alarm drifted like snowflakes to the army in front!

Zhang Biwu looked at these alarms, his fist hit them, and said, "Didn't you say that Dolgon's army is still in Liaodong?" How did it appear all at once? Damn! Look! Check it out, y'all! ”

Zhang Biwu threw the Tang Bao to everyone and let everyone take a good look. Everyone picked up the newspaper and looked at each other after reading it, they didn't expect that Dolgon would send troops, and it would be so fast!

Didn't Dorgon say he was sick and dying? He also personally sent troops? What's more, Shunzhi is extremely unkind to him! Doesn't he have a trace of resentment? Why do you want to help Shunzhi so desperately?

Taiyuan was besieged, the situation was critical, Zhang Biwu had to save Taiyuan, a division of troops, then you have to be careful of Hong Chengchou and Yue Le's intensified attack, it seems that in this case, Zhang Biwu's situation is unfavorable.

Zheng Chenggong has been sent back to Fujian to attack, and it is impossible to let Zheng Chenggong return to the division again, otherwise, what Zhang Biwu said before would be all nonsense. Everything he does will also make people feel false and wrong.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong doesn't return, how can Zhang Biwu break the enemy? He set his eyes on Lu Xiangsheng, Xuan Jianhao, Song Xiance, Li Yan and others, hoping that they would come up with a good idea soon.

Li Yan still understood best, and said: "My lord, the emperor of the Tartars hates Dolgon very much, and he originally thought that he could force us back by colluding with the Dutch and the Portuguese, and then defeat us!" However, he did not expect that if Dolgon had not suddenly attacked Shanxi from the Mongolian steppe, his strategy would not have succeeded, but if it dragged on for time, we would have won! That's where we can take advantage of that......"

Zhang Biwu suddenly came to his senses, and listened to what Li Yan had to say.

Li Yan said: "We can send more people to spread rumors, that is, if it weren't for Dorgon's sudden attack, then Shunzhi would have been wiped out by us a long time ago!" Dolgon is the one who can really save the Manchus! Shunzhi himself thought he had a plan and used Portugal and the Netherlands to force Zheng Chenggong away, but in the end he was robbed of the limelight by Dolgon's attack on Shanxi. He must have felt very uncomfortable! There are more rumors, saying that Shunzhi is useless, and it is still Dolgon's eloquence. Just imagine how Shunzhi can stand it! ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and responded: "Yes! Shunzhi has always lived in the shadow of Dolgon, and Dolgon has always been a lingering shadow in Shunzhi's heart. Shunzhi desperately wants to prove himself, as long as something leads to Dolgon, and Shunzhi loses the opportunity to prove himself. He must be annoyed! Like, what kind of things will Shunzhi do?
