Chapter 515: King Lu's Return to Shun (4)

After scolding the court of Plug Yinxi and Hongguang, Zheng Zhilong's ambition exploded infinitely.

Because Zheng Chenggong pulled out the Fusang spies, the army was unified, and he was supported by the Francophone people, Zheng Zhilong decided to use troops in Zhejiang to completely eliminate the forces of King Lu.

As soon as the poor king of Lu returned to land, Zhang Huangyan was defeated by the Fenghua rebels, and he was so frightened that he almost returned to the Zhoushan Islands.

Fortunately, Zhang Huangyan stabilized the defense line in time and did not let the rebels continue to do wrong, and the main force of the rebels, the Fusang mercenaries, went to Fujian, and the remnants of the rebels were surrounded and suppressed by Zhang Huangyan and the Iron Fist Legion.

After Zhang Huangyan defeated the rebels, King Lu began to fight the Hongguang soldiers and horses again, wanting to annex the Iron Fist Legion and the artillery battalion.

Shi Tie and Lao Mantou were not vegetarians, and after defeating the rebels in various places, they retreated to several state capitals in western Zhejiang, and as long as King Lu's troops entered, they were resolutely expelled.

King Lu's forces shrank in eastern Zhejiang, and he ordered Zhang Huangyan to go south to southern Zhejiang, and King Lu was mad to expand his power, forcing Zhang Huangyan to speak several times, asking for recuperation, not to use troops externally, or to attack Emperor Longwu, who was also a member of the Ming clan.

Zhang Huangyan's strategy was very correct, the Ming army should recuperate at the time, not to go to infighting, but King Lu ignored it, and asked the envoy to go to Zhang Huangyan's military camp several times, asking him to use troops in Jiangxi and Fujian.

Zhang Huangyan refused to send troops on the grounds of injury, and he closed his door in the barracks, thinking that King Lu was so heartbroken, which made Zhang Huangyan feel more and more justified by Ling Jingyang.

If you want to drive out the Qing army, you must make sure that the government orders are consistent, and all localities support their own troops, which will only be a big fight for power and profit, giving the Qing army a chance to break through one by one.

His negative attitude made King Lu have no choice.

King Lu looked to the north again, he did not dare to fight the Yangtze River and the Qing army, but wanted to enter Yingtianfu again and become the master of the southern capital.

He led the civil and military officials of the palace, as well as the 10,000 soldiers and horses that had been scraped together, and marched towards Ying Tianfu.

The road from Ningbo Mansion to Ying Tianfu is not far away, and there are not many Hongguang soldiers and horses stationed along the way, not to block Yinxi to give up the southern capital, but in Jianghuai and other places are still under the control of the Qing army, to Ying Tianfu to increase troops, which is tantamount to a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and the Qing army can eat if it wants.

King Kelu doesn't care about this, he wants to settle in Yingtianfu, live in the Nandu Palace, and enjoy the feeling of being a monarch.

This group of miscellaneous soldiers carried flags along the way, and the people along the way also coaxed, and when they arrived at the city of Nanjing, people who didn't know thought that Emperor Hongguang was still the capital of Nanjing.

There are still thousands of defenders in the city of Nanjing, these defenders have long received a military order, not to clash with the army of King Lu, King Lu wants the city of Nanjing, then give it to him, these defenders in the night before King Lu entered the city with great fanfare, retreat to Huizhou Mansion.

A group of rabble soldiers entered the city of Nanjing without blood,

There are basically no high-level officials in Nanjing City, and the officials of the Hongguang Imperial Court either surrendered to the Qing army, or followed the Hongguang Emperor to Congshan Pass, and the officials of the provinces of the province did not listen to the announcement, so when King Lu entered the city of Nanjing, there were few high-ranking officials to congratulate him, and some were only officials below the seventh grade to welcome.

This made King Lu lose face, but he couldn't forcibly order officials from all over the country to congratulate him, he promoted dozens of officials in one day, and basically restored the framework of the six ministries, but most of these officials were not competent at all, and many people laughed at King Lu for being the grass platform.

The first thing King Lu did was to worship his ancestors, crying that his descendants let Jiannu plague the land of China, and now he has recovered the city of Nanjing, so that the heroic souls of his ancestors can rest in peace.

He was addicted to Nanjing, Zhang Huangyan

He continued to stay ill and led his troops to recuperate and regain his strength in eastern Zhejiang.

Before recuperating for a few days, Zheng Zhilong's troops left Xianxia Pass in Fujian and entered Wenzhou Mansion in southern Zhejiang.

Wenzhou Mansion did not have a defender, the Zheng family army drove straight in, captured Wenzhou Mansion within a few days, Taizhou Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, the soldiers approached Ningbo Mansion, in the face of the threat of the Fujian Ming Army, Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to gather soldiers and horses, determined to defend Ningbo Mansion, but the Fujian Ming Army suddenly stopped the pace of attack, it was Zheng Chenggong who ordered the troops to stop advancing.

Zheng Zhilong was very dissatisfied with Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong persuaded his father not to fight infighting, the Qing army continued to wreak havoc in Jiangbei, and made enemies with the Fusang army, so he should accumulate strength and not lose his vitality needlessly.

Zheng Zhilong scolded Zheng Chenggong, Fujian is mountainous, and if you want to have a more ambitious goal, you must go out of Fujian and capture more land conducive to cultivation, instead of nesting in Fujian and becoming a tepid local force.

Zheng Chenggong had no way to convince Zheng Zhilong, he refused to lead the troops to the battle, Zheng Zhilong turned his heart, replaced Zheng Chenggong, mobilized other generals to lead the army, and continued to attack Ningbo Mansion.

The forward of Zheng's army was commanded by Shi Lang, who led 5,000 elite soldiers from Ninghai to attack Ningbo Prefecture, and Zhang Huangyan hurriedly led 20,000 troops to resist Shi Lang's attack.

The two armies faced each other on the border line, Shi Lang did not take the lead in attacking, and Zhang Huangyan did not want to attack.

The generals on both sides competed in their perseverance to see who could take the lead and couldn't hold their breath.

This time, the Zheng army chose to retreat again, not because of Zheng Zhilong's conscience, but because Ling Jingyang ordered the Iron Fist Army and the artillery battalion to enter Hangzhou Mansion, and tens of thousands of troops entered Shaoxing Mansion from Hangzhou Mansion, cutting off the retreat of Zheng's army, forcing Zheng Zhilong to order a retreat and hold the captured southern Zhejiang region.

Although Zheng Zhilong retreated, it made Zhang Huangyan realize that a plate of scattered sand not only could not strengthen the military strength of various places, but also caused infinite infighting.

He also saw that the Iron Fist Legion and the artillery battalion did not enter Ningbo Mansion, but drove away Zheng's army and then withdrew to Hangzhou Mansion.

Hongguang Imperial Court soldiers and horses are handsome gentlemen, Zhang Huangyan no longer hesitated, took his own soldiers to Nanzhili, and personally visited Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang was not in Huizhou Mansion, a few days ago he took his family and troops to garrison Ningguo Mansion, which used to be Jiang Jing's territory, Ling Jingyang settled in Ningguo Mansion, gave Jiang Liang a clear signal, encouraged Jiang Biao to capture Chenzhou Mansion, and then sealed Chenzhou Mansion and other places to Jiang Biao.

Wan Liyun didn't understand that Ling Jingyang gave up Huizhou Mansion and led tens of thousands of Ming troops to settle in Ningguo Mansion, and told him that this was done to better let Yin Xi and Jin Sheng revive the imperial court, Wan Liyun didn't say anything, followed the two into Ningguo Mansion, and built a defense line in Ning Guofu.

Ling Jingyang received that Zhang Huangyan led his soldiers to Hangzhou Mansion and rushed to Hangzhou Mansion with his guards overnight.

He ceremoniously entertained Zhang Huangyan in Hangzhou Mansion, and Zhang Huangyan was a little embarrassed when he saw him.

But Ling Jingyang was very atmospheric, he knew that Zhang Huangyan wanted to defect to him, and generously appointed Zhang Huangyan as the chief soldier of Hangzhou Prefecture, and wrote to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to reuse and appoint Zhang Huangyan as the governor of Zhejiang.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly said that he couldn't help it, the governor of Zhejiang was the second-in-command of Zhejiang, and he was a feudal official, so he didn't dare to do it, and he couldn't do it.

Ling Jingyang encouraged him, the world is in chaos, heroes are numerous, since the heart of the world, we must have the courage to climb the peak, the governor of Zhejiang is a challenge, but can achieve ambitions.

He and Zhang Huangyan said: "In the past, the Qi family's army was famous, and not all the soldiers under his command were there

Zhejiang soldiers? ”

Speaking of the Qi family's army, Zhang Huangyan also yearned for it, but unfortunately the Qi family's army had long been annihilated, and Ling Jingyang gave him a task, which was to train the Zhejiang soldiers and horses.

Zhang Huangyan lowered his head, he formed a righteous army to fight with the Qing army, realizing that the Qing army was extremely powerful, and relying only on the Jiangnan guards was not an opponent at all, perhaps learning from Qi Xuguang, implementing a recruitment system, training professional soldiers, and Xing Xing to compete with the Qing army.

"Governor Lingdu, I am still not competent for this governor of Zhejiang, but Huang Yan is willing to train soldiers and horses for Governor Lingdu."

He was reluctant to serve as the governor of Zhejiang, and Ling Jingyang did not force him, appointing him as the chief soldier of the Zhejiang regiment, Zhang Huangyan expressed his obedience to the imperial court, and he was willing to command the army by Ling Jingyang, but Ling Jingyang waved his hand to him.

"Mr. Zhang, your soldiers and horses were recruited by you with great effort, how can I annex them, but there are many soldiers and soldiers in your army who are poorly clothed and have poor weapons, I will discuss with you tomorrow and send some equipment to your department to improve combat effectiveness."

"Huang Yan is grateful."

Zhang Huangyan also proposed, how should we fight against the Zheng family in Fujian?

Ling Jingyang is also thinking about Zheng Zhilong these days, this person surrendered to the Qing army in history, it is still a mystery, he obviously has a large number of troops and a strong navy, but he is willing to surrender to the Qing army.

From Zheng Zhilong's point of view now, he is ambitious, and he sent troops to attack eastern Zhejiang, which is completely ambitious in the world.

Could it be that Zheng Zhilong got the support of the Francois and became a careerist, wanting to become a generation of powerful ministers, or go one step further and change the Ming Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty.

"The Zheng family crossed the sea to Jiangbei a few days ago to fight with the Qing army, and they were also men who dared to draw their swords against the Qing army, although they were hiding in Fujian at this time and did not fight with the Qing army, but we fought with them, and it would only cheapen the Qing army."

Zhang Huangyan also knew that Ling Jingyang had no good way for the time being, so he changed the topic.

"Governor, I don't know how the Qing army is fighting with the Dashun army now, I hope the Dashun army can resist the Qing army's attack."

Ling Jingyang focused on the southeast region, or paid close attention to the Jiangbei intelligence, and sent back the latest information from Wang Yingxiong, the Qing army stormed Shaanxi, and the Dashun army lost almost all the important towns on the periphery of Shaanxi, and it was time for life and death.

The Qing army entered Shaanxi under the leadership of Azig, Duoduo, and Bolo, Li Zicheng gathered the last strength of the Dashun army, and the remnants of the Daxi army were also assembled in Xi'an.

Hundreds of thousands of the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army fought the final decisive battle with the Qing army in Xi'an.

The Qing army had an advantage in strength, and its weapons and equipment were better than those of the Dashun army and the Great Western Army, and the commander was even more long-term on the battlefield.

Li Zicheng and Sun Kewang personally went on the field to kill the enemy, the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army were killed, the Qing army could not win several field battles, Ling Jingyang entered Zhejiang in the east, and Azig led the Eight Banners field troops to attack the Dashun Army for the twentieth time.

From top to bottom, the Dashun army held the determination to die, and fought a bloody battle with the Qing army to the end, but the Qing army was never able to achieve a decisive victory.

Wang Yingxiong also regrouped his troops and horses in Sichuan and attacked Yunyang Mansion again, in order to achieve the goal of cutting off the rear road of the Qing army.

Plugging Yinxi also asked people to bring a letter to Ling Jingyang, do you want to reinforce Wang Yingxiong's troops?

The Hongguang Imperial Court garrisoned more than 15,000 troops in De'an Mansion, led by Jiang Tianyi, who was defeated by the Qing army last time, and has been haunted by it, training soldiers and horses in De'an Mansion, wanting to take revenge on the Qing army.
