Chapter 637: Joining Forces to Attack the Dutch Army (1)
He Zhen's scouts had not yet entered Jianchang Mansion, but were only wandering around the border between Jianchang Mansion and Ningdu County, and he was not sure how many enemy troops there were in Jianchang Mansion.
"Jianchang Mansion is adjacent to Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong's main forces are in Nanzhili and northern Jiangxi, so there shouldn't be many troops stationed here?"
Ling Jingyang has a strong ability to think backwards, Zheng Zhilong's hometown is in Fujian, and Jianchang Mansion is a bridgehead for attacking Fujian, so there is no reason to give up this bridgehead.
"Contact Fang Xiaoyan, let the Special Bureau enter Jianchang Mansion, find out the enemy situation here, and wait for the opportunity to enter Jianchang Mansion."
"The last will obey."
While speaking, Ling Jingyang saw several people walking under the city on the city wall, the first one was Xu Sheng, and behind him, there were two strange faces.
He Zhen also saw Xu Sheng leading the two of them to come, Ling Jingyang and He Zhen washed their hair, and the two of them went downstairs to the hall, and it happened that Xu Sheng also came with the two of them.
Xu Sheng took the lead and said to Ling Jingyang: "Governor, the person who blocked the scripture is here. ”
Ling Jingyang's eyes lit up, he hadn't been in contact with Plug Yinxi for a while, and he didn't know what Plug Yinxi's condition was.
One person stepped forward and Ling Jingyang bent down to say hello.
"Listen to the governor, the last general will block Zhengming, and follow the order of the blockade strategy, meet the governor and the generals."
Du Zhengming is the nephew of Du Yinxi, and he is also a fierce general, Ling Jingyang asked him not to be polite.
"It's been good lately?"
"Uncle has been talking about the governor, after Jiannu retired from the army, the uncle welcomed His Majesty to the army, I heard that the governor defeated the red-haired ghost, the rear was stable, the court was intent on the Northern Expedition, Uncle and Jiang Zongbing recruited the displaced people to form an army, and let the little nephew and the governor contact the Northern Expedition of the army."
Ling Jingyang has long wanted to discuss the Northern Expedition with Plug Yinxi, but he has just recovered Ganzhou Mansion, and the large-scale expansion of the army has not yet formed combat effectiveness.
It happened that Du Zhengming came, and Ling Jingyang also wanted to know whether Jiang Huang's Northern Expedition was attacking the Qing army or the Longwu court supported by Zheng Zhilong.
Ling Jingyang didn't make it clear to Blocking Zhengming, and He Zhen made a look, He Zhen understood, and said to Blocking Zhengming: "Is the direction of the attack of Blocking Jingluo due north, or northeast?" ”
Due north direction was the offensive in Huguang Qing Army, northeast

The direction is Zheng Zhilong from Jiangxi, He Zhen asked very implicitly, and Du Zhengming answered very vaguely.
"The Governor of Ling is the Governor of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, and all military operations are dispatched by the Governor, Uncle Jia, and General Jiang are under the command of the Governor."
Ling Jingyang has made a choice between He Zhen and Du Zhengming's question and answer.
At this time, after attacking the Longwu Imperial Court and defeating Zheng Zhilong, as soon as the decree was issued, the resources of the south of the Yangtze River were integrated, but a large amount of living force was consumed, and countless Ming soldiers died in internal strife, and whether he could win Zheng Zhilong, Ling Jingyang was not absolutely sure.
Attacking the Qing army, with the strength of the Hongguang Imperial Court, it is also difficult to eliminate the Qing army in the pass, and it cannot destroy a major enemy, only by joining forces with Zheng Zhilong can the Qing army be eliminated.
How to join forces with Zheng Zhilong, Ling Jingyang already had the answer in his heart, and he said to Du Zhengming: "The Northern Expedition is about Guoyun, and you can't rely on the power of my army to make the Northern Expedition, King Fu and King Tang are born from the same root, and the brothers work together to break the gold." ”
Du Zhengming understood what Ling Jingyang meant, he admired his uncle very much, and even more admired Ling Jingyang, when Du Yinxi came, he told him that Ling Jingyang was a strange man, and he would not attack Zheng Zhilong, nor would he recklessly attack the Qing army.
With his understanding of Ling Jingyang, it is very likely that he will choose to join forces with the Longwu Imperial Court to expel foreign enemies and then fight over who is orthodox.
He was excited and listened to Jingyang is worship.
"The governor is righteous and cloudy, and the last general will be admired so much that he will throw himself to the ground, and on the day of the Northern Expedition, the last general will be willing to be the vanguard."
"Turn to get your Vanguard? I He Zhen ate more salt than you eat, and I went to cool it down. ”
He Zhen almost swallowed Du Zhengming, Ling Jingyang and Du Zhengming said: "After you go back, please Jingliu and Jiang Zongbing to step up their training, at most in a few months, I can persuade Zheng Zhilong, at that time, the army will go north, and you will exert your fists and feet on Jiannu and destroy it in one battle." ”
"Yes."
He Zhen, Xu Sheng, and Du Zhengming responded to Ling Jingyang in unison, and Ling Jingyang asked Du Zhengming to rest in Ganzhou City for a few days, but Du Zhengming wanted to go back to Huguang immediately and report to Du Yinxi and Jiang Hao.
Seeing that he insisted on going back, Ling Jingyang asked Xu Sheng to give him five fast horses, and asked twelve cavalrymen to escort Du Zhengming back.
After Du Zhengming said goodbye, Ling Jingyang felt extremely comfortable, and the next step was to resume contact with Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong.

According to the information sent by the Special Bureau to Li Dingguo's ministry last time, Li Dingguo led his troops and the Qing army to fight a fierce battle in Shizhou.
Dolgon was transferred back to Wu Sangui and other departments, and personally led the main force to aid Shizhouwei, and the Ming army Yang Zhan and Zeng Ying also reinforced Shizhouwei.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming and Qing armies fought a decisive battle in Shizhouwei, and since then, Ling Jingyang has never received any information from Shizhouwei.
Ling Jingyang ordered Fang Xiaoyan to strengthen the collection of intelligence on Shizhouwei, and Fang Xiaoyan withstood the huge pressure and continued to dispatch intelligence officers from the Special Bureau to Shizhouwei.
Most of the intelligence officers were killed by the Qing army before they entered Shizhouwei, and only a few officials entered Shizhouwei, but because of the long distance, the transmission of intelligence was very lagging behind.
Because the road is far away, Ling Jingyang wants to give Li Dingguo support, but he can't do it for a while.
On the other hand, Zheng Chenggong's troops almost lost contact, only knowing that half a month ago, Zheng Chenggong led his troops north to Yanzhou Mansion and engaged in a small-scale battle with the Fusang Third Division.
According to the battle report, most of the Fusang troops who fought with Zheng Chenggong were puppet troops, and the regular army of Fusang did not appear on the front-line battlefield.
It can be seen that the Fusang army is maintaining its power and trying to make the puppet army consume the strength of the Ming army, Ling Jingyang is more determined to ally with Zheng Zhilong, expel the Dutch army, and then make a choice between attacking the Qing army and the Fusang army.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ling Jingyang convened a meeting of the commanders of the soldiers and horses of various departments in the Governor's Mansion to discuss going north to Nanchang Mansion.
Hearing that they were going north to Nanchang Mansion, Xu Sheng, Zhao Tu, He Zhen, and Shi Tie were all willing to defeat the Zheng army and the Dutch army to the death for the vanguard, and avenge the soldiers who died in Guangdong.
Ling Jingyang saw that the army's heart was available, and during this time, all the soldiers and horses trained hard, and many recruits also faded from the shadow of the people and had the breath of a soldier.
He and the four generals said: "Everyone, this time I went north to Nanchang Mansion, the target was the Dutch army, and the Zheng army would not fight if it could not fight." ”
Xu Sheng is an anxious man, and he doesn't understand why he didn't fight Zheng Jun, Zheng Jun is a soft persimmon, unlike the Dutch army, which still has rifles and other weapons in his hands, and if he can fight Zheng Jun, he will fight Zheng Jun, which is also the consensus of all generals in the army.
He Zhen and Ling Jingyang summoned Du Zhengming before, figuring out Ling Jingyang's intentions, he and Xu Sheng said: "The Zheng army is also my Ming army, if the Zheng army can join forces to expel the Dutch army, the entire South China region is my Ming force." ”
