Along the way, what he thought about the most was whether his father, as the supporter of the Tang Dynasty, would be punished if Chongzhen calmed the world in the future.

Now, according to Chongzhen's words, his father has simply become a good minister and a fierce general who endures humiliation and burdens, temporarily lurking beside King Tang and waiting for an opportunity.

"Emperor Xie justified my father's name!" Zheng Sen was excited.

"I didn't correct Zheng Zhilong's name. The only person who can justify his name is himself! Chongzhen said sharply.

Zheng Sen was stunned, "The minister understands!" ”

Zheng Sen knew that the emperor had pointed out the direction for his Zheng family, and as for how to deal with the Zheng family in the end, it all depended on Zheng Zhilong's future actions.

"Let me ask you, how many troops did you bring with you this time to the north? What about the firepower of the battleship? ”

Chongzhen asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The minister brought 30 main warships of the Fujian Navy Division and more than 800 sailors. Three of the largest warships, carrying 24 guns. Another 16 ships carried 18 guns, while the others had only 10 guns. ”

"Such firepower has surpassed the sailors of the imperial court." Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "I believe that Jianyu will definitely not be able to match. ”

"The minister heard that the Jianyu Water Division was the result of the surrender of the Laizhou Water Division and other imperial court soldiers and horses. If Jianyu had not been expanded, he should not have been the opponent of my thirty warships. After all, my father had allocated all the most elite warships. Zheng Sen is very confident.

Chongzhen listened to Zheng Sen say a lot. Only the first sentence was heard in the head.

Yes, the main sailor of Jianyu was rebelled by the sailor of the Ming Dynasty.

For a long time, the Jianyu Shui Division was a defeated general under the Ming Dynasty, but in the sixth year of Chongzhen, after Kong Youde and others surrendered to Huang Taiji with the Shui Shi, the situation began to change.

Kong Youde not only sent more than 100 warships and 10,000 people to Jianlu, but more importantly, he brought the most elite Western artillery built by the Ming Dynasty at a cost of countless money and food, Xu Guangqi and others spent countless efforts, plus 30 Hongyi cannons, all to Jianlu.

You must know that during the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty purchased a total of 30 Hongyi cannons, and during the Chongzhen period, a total of 10 Hongyi cannons were purchased. The two emperors bought a total of 40 gates, but gave 30 doors to Jianyu at one time.

After that, Jianyu used these warships to encroach on the Daming sea area step by step, and wiped out the northern naval division of the Ming Dynasty in ten years, and sent these elite artillery and advanced artillery to win the Battle of Songjin, and finally destroyed the Daming.

Seeing Chongzhen's distraction, Zheng Sen continued: "If the emperor can allocate some grenades to his ministers, the ministers dare to guarantee that they will definitely capture Lushun and burn the Liaodong Peninsula!" ”

Zheng Sen's words pulled Chongzhen's thinking back, and he asked:

"How many men and horses can these ships carry besides your sailors? Oh, and that includes 3,600 cavalry. ”

Zheng Sen calculated in his heart that each of these warships could carry an average of 400 people, plus enough weapons, grain and grass, and horses, it should be ......

"Back to the emperor, if you carry 3,600 cavalry, you can pull another 2,000 people."

"Hmm. Guerrilla attacks are sufficient, but defending the city is insufficient. Chongzhen groaned.

"What about two or three round-trips?" Zheng Sen said it, and immediately knew that he was naïve, once he landed, how could Jianyu give up.

"Well, I'll only send 600 of the most elite cavalry to land, and all the rest will be infantry for the later defense of the city." Chongzhen clapper.

"In this way, there are 6,000 to 8,000 infantry, and the minister is confident that he will take and hold Arthur City!"

"Good. Within a month, I will give you another 10 new red cannons, 3,000 grenades, and 3,000 flintlock muskets. Before the northeast wind arrives, choose the opportunity to go out! ”

"The minister will not disgrace his life!" Zheng Sen was excited, he thought that this meeting was about to communicate, and there would be no specific operational deployment and military tasks.

Unexpectedly, in a few words, Chongzhen had already roughly set the personnel, equipment, and departure date.

It is obvious that the emperor has thought it through, and he did not say anything before, he was just waiting for his own battleship. Now that the battleship was in place and the specific situation was clear, the decision was made immediately.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Huangyan has arrived." Tian Shouxin entered the palace to report.

"Xuan." Chongzhen Road.

After a while, a young man wearing a Ming army uniform walked in and saluted Chongzhen.

After the salute, Chongzhen said to Zheng Sen: "Fusong, this person's name is Zhang Huangyan, he was born in a person, abandoned literature and followed the martial arts, and will follow you to the north to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula." It's just that after landing, you are responsible for defending the city and stabilizing the territory, and he has another task. ”

Zheng Sen hurriedly said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhang Huangyan turned his face to look at the sword-eyed, heroic-eyed young man beside him, a little surprised, and said in his heart: This young man is a few years younger than me, and he is actually my superior.

Seeing Zhang Huangyan's gaze, Chongzhen had insight in his heart, and pointed to Zheng Sen and said: "Xuanzhu, he is the son of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, Zheng Sen." ”

After the words fell, Zhang Huangyan understood, the imperial court requisitioned the warships of the Fujian Navy Division, but he didn't understand why Zheng Zhilong would send his son to lead the army, this Zheng Sen looked like he was twenty years old.

"Xuanzhu, do you have any insight into the mantra given to you by the people I ordered you yesterday?"

"The last general has some understanding, I don't know if it's right or not."

"Tell me about it."

"Yes. The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue. These sixteen characters will be understood in the end as, in fact, to avoid it, to attack it if it is false, to avoid strong enemies, and to wait for the opportunity to move. ”

Chongzhen sighed in his heart when he heard it, Shi Shucheng did not deceive me, Zhang Huang's talent is indeed top-notch.

"Can you guess the task I'm going to give you?"

Zhang Huangyan didn't answer directly, and asked first: "Dare to ask how many men and horses the emperor has transferred to me." ”

“600！ You should be familiar with this force. ”

"Could it be the six hundred rifle cavalry of the Leaping Dragon Army?" Zhang Huangyan lost his voice, his eyes full of excitement.

This is the most elite unit of the Beijing Division, and the baby bump of the Ming Dynasty is directly commanded by himself.

You know, he's just a general, and he doesn't have any military exploits.

"Yes, yes." Chongzhen nodded.

Zhang Huangyan was excited, and said: "Your Majesty, such an elite soldier is handed over to the last general, and he must go to the inland of Liaodong to harass him, and repay the other in his way!" ”

Chongzhen was relieved.

With such a young man with a very strategic vision, this mission will definitely achieve the desired results.

"I am very relieved that you have this realization. You will soon get acquainted with the soldiers, continue to practice, and prepare for the battle. ”

"The last will understand."

"You remember, the biggest goal of your sea-crossing operation this time is not to kill and injure the soldiers of Jianjiao, not to siege the city and restore the land.

Instead, they destroyed the Jianyu villages, destroyed the autumn grain and grain and grass storage that were about to mature in Jianyu along the way, and rescued the Han people who were imprisoned by Jianyu.

If you encounter a small group of Jianyu, then destroy it as soon as possible, and if the Jianyu army attacks, retreat immediately, keep the living force, and go to other places to destroy.

The Liaodong Peninsula is vast and sparsely populated, and the troops are scattered, so if you deal with it carefully, you will not encounter much danger in theory. ”

Zhang Huangyan listened, his heart was even more excited, over the years, it was Jianyu who broke into the Great Wall to kill, injure and loot, and now he went to Liaodong to follow the method of Jianyu to deal with Jianyu, it was happy to think about it, but ......

"Your Majesty, the last general will be brave ......"

Chongzhen interrupted him and asked, "Do you still want to say 'if you go outside, you must first settle inside'?" ”
