Chapter 709: Riding the Wind (9)

"Skip the passage and go to the capital, I believe he will bring back good news."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Ling Jingyang contemptuously, hating iron and steel.

"Not long ago, you asked Shi Tie to lead the army to the north of Jiangxi, didn't you just guard against the southward movement of the Northern Zhili army?"

"How do you know this?"

Ling Jingyang was shocked, Zheng Chenggong shook his head gently, Ling Jingyang is still very immature, the Zheng family has eyes and ears all over the country, and its strength is only stronger than Ling Jingyang's subordinate Special Bureau.

"The blocking scripture you had high hopes for did not succeed in going to Beizhili, or he didn't have the ability to go to Beizhili at all."

A word blew up Ling Jingyang in a daze, and blocked Yinxi obviously went to Beizhili, why didn't he go?

He couldn't understand, he looked at Zheng Chenggong fiercely, thinking that Zheng Chenggong was really deceiving him, Zheng Chenggong smiled, he broke the Qing army, established a large number of secret strongholds in Jiangbei, and his eyes and ears were all over Shandong.

"Ling Jingyang, plug Yinxi from the south to the north to Shandong, to the north of Baoding Mansion, and then from Baoding Mansion to Shuntian Mansion, is this his route?"

Blocking Yinxi's forward route is absolutely secret, Zheng Chenggong actually knows so much, Ling Jingyang frowned, Zheng Chenggong ignored it and continued: "I still have some strength in Jiangbei, blocking Jingluo left Nanzhili, just entered Shandong, he was surrounded by the officials and troops of the capital, and now he and his subordinates are guests in Qingzhou Mansion, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know, would you like to hear about it?"

"Okay, I'll tell you, the Son of Heaven in Beizhili can't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, do you think that letting Shi Tie lead the army to Jiangxi will be able to block the imperial army from going south, don't be naΓ―ve, the imperial army has tens of thousands of Fusang military weapons, and there is the banner of the Son of Heaven, from north to south in just a few months, you can do it all over the world, it is not the king's land."

Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that Ximen Zhu sent four heads, Zhou Yuan, Wen Yuanyang, Bai Dun and Wan Qing were all people who betrayed him and Bai Lushui, so it seems that Emperor Chongzhen had long been ready for force, only he was still wishful thinking.

"Success, let me ask you, Emperor Chongzhen led his army south, will you fight with it?"

This question made Zheng Chenggong silent for a long time, and after a few minutes, he resolutely said: "Success has a plan." ”

Ling Jingyang wanted to know Zheng Chenggong's plan, whether he wanted to start a war at once, or to retire from the government and the opposition and not ask about the world.

His mood and eyes, Zheng Chenggong knew it in his heart.

"I have let my subordinates be stationed in Taiwan, as well as the four islands of Fuso, and the people who are willing to go overseas with me will take them away, don't forget, the countries of Europa are just temporarily withdrawing from the South Seas, and when the melee is over, they will inevitably invade the South Seas, let me guard the South China Sea gate for the Ming Dynasty."

It wasn't until this moment that Ling Jingyang understood Zheng Chenggong's heart.

"It's you, after I leave, you will be the biggest stumbling block to the unification of the world."

Zheng Chenggong hopes that Ling Jingyang and him will go overseas, he does not have many troops, and he has to divide troops to garrison the four islands of Fusang and the island of Taiwan, and urgently needs a field army, Ling Jingyang still has tens of thousands of field troops with strong combat effectiveness, if it can be used by him, Fusang itself will fall into a bloody storm.

Ling Jingyang is by no means a stupid person, and he only guessed Zheng Chenggong's mind in an instant.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded, and told Ling Jingyang about the fatal flaw of insufficient troops, especially the four islands of Fusang are very hostile to the mainland of China, and his troops can defeat the remnants of Fusang, but they can't completely eliminate the hostile forces of Fusang, and he urgently needs Ling Jingyang to join hands with him to expand overseas forces.

Leading the troops to develop overseas, and being able to enslave the Fusang people, it looks very good, Ling Jingyang almost agreed with Zheng Chenggong's request,

But when he thought of many subordinates who were born and died, Ling Jingyang still gave up this idea, he was willing to go overseas, his subordinates were not necessarily willing to go, who was the leader when he went overseas?

He didn't know anything about naval warfare, he shook his head and declined Zheng Chenggong's invitation.

Seeing that he refused, Zheng Chenggong felt a little regretful.

"Governor Lingdu, I'm afraid you don't know yet, the Chongzhen Imperial Court army is not in Henan, you let Shi Tie divide his troops to garrison Jiangxi, and your already small troops are even more dispersed."

It was true that part of the Chongzhen court had an army stationed in the southern region of Henan, but its main force was secretly assembled in Shandong, waiting for the Holy Order to launch an attack on Zhili in the south.

Zheng Chenggong told Ling Jingyang this information, Ling Jingyang was dumbfounded, he asked He Zhen and Gao Ding to lead his troops to Nanzhili to attack Ying Tianfu, successfully put King Lu under house arrest, and recaptured Nanjing City.

Two-thirds of his troops are in Yingtianfu, and if Chongzhen's army goes southeast from the mountain, the first to bear the brunt is Nanzhili.

The main force of the Nanjing City Army, if it was eaten, how could he listen to Jingyang's brothers who fought bloodily.

He decided to withdraw immediately, Zheng Chenggong took his hand, and once again said sincerely: "As long as you and I join forces, the Jiangbei army will not dare to attack easily, please go overseas with me to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty." ”

Faced with Zheng Chenggong's invitation, Ling Jingyang was a little hesitant, and the top priority was to rescue the troops in Jiangxi and Nanjing.

"When I bring the troops back, you and I will discuss joining forces."

Suddenly, Xu Sheng rushed in from outside the door, and behind him was Zheng Zhibao, who thought that the former was going to assassinate Zheng Chenggong, and drew his sword and followed.

Xu Sheng did not assassinate Zheng Chenggong, but came in to report the emergency military situation to Ling Jingyang.

"Dudu, Xiaoyan is back, right down the mountain."

Twenty days ago, Fang Xiaoyan led the Special Bureau to Yingtianfu, and made great contributions to the army's invasion of Yingtianfu.

The Special Bureau had just set off, and the Chongzhen army moved south from Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, and the Hongguang army stationed in the area of Nanzhili and Yanzhou Prefecture surrendered without a fight.

The defenders quickly surrendered, and it turned out to be Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition, many Jiangnan gentry, and the people saw the Son of Heaven for the first time.

This Son of Heaven was destroyed several times, and several times the rise of the hero, the world is surging, with the army in an endless stream, Chongzhen's army successively captured Huai'an Mansion, Xuzhou, Fengyang Mansion, and in Fengyang Mansion to pay tribute to the ancestors, for a time the south of the north of the region changed the military flag, the vast majority of people choose to be loyal to Chongzhen orthodoxy.

Chongzhen's army is approaching Ying Tianfu, He Zhen, Gao Ding, and Wei Lan have more than 10,000 soldiers, but most of them are old weapons, and the Chongzhen Dynasty army is only more than 70,000 people, but there are more than 400,000 people with the army, and there is also an army equipped with advanced weapons, this army has more than 4,000 people, and the weapons are captured Fusang Division, although there are no shells and bullet supplies, but the ability to conduct several large-scale battles is more than enough.

In the face of the threat of the army of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, He Zhen, Gao Ding, and Wei Lan were not unified internally.

He Zhen used to be a Ming official army, in the face of the old master's attack, He Zhen was a little shaken in his heart, Gao Ding was also an officer of the Ming Army, or an elite border army of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Lan was born in the Ming Army, and he had mixed feelings about the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen did not launch an attack on Ying Tianfu, he has precipitated a lot over the years, and he will not be stubborn, he made Wang Chengen as a messenger, and entered Ying Tianfu to negotiate the major affairs of the country.
