Chapter 189 Penghu

Penghu, black pressure is overwhelming, Mo about 200 warships, the flag belonging to the Zheng clan is hunting, fluttering in the wind, it is the main force of the naval division under the command of Zheng Jing.

Not long ago, Zheng Jing ordered Liu Guoxuan to be the main general, leading an army of 20,000, taking Penghu as the home field, making full use of the defensive position, waiting for the enemy to attack, and giving full play to his own advantages.

Although the main general Liu Guoxuan prefers to take the initiative to face the battle, Zheng Jing is obviously more conservative.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan, the general of Zheng Jun, stood on the boat, personally observing the wind and celestial phenomena...

As the chief general of the army, he followed Zheng Chenggong to lead the army to recover Taiwan in his early years, and led the archers to repel the counterattack of the Dutch army, making great contributions to the recovery of Taiwan.

It can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles and can also be called a famous general of the previous generation.

In the perennial naval warfare, he has long grasped all the attributes of naval warfare, and he is also accustomed to observing everything in person and dealing with the war situation.

He didn't take the sailors of the Great Zhou in his eyes.

Decades of experience have taught him that it is more difficult for a sailor to become an army than an army.

In terms of scale, experience, level, weather, and geography, they all have the upper hand, and it can be said that they have won hemp.

This is also the reason why he persuaded King Yanping to take the initiative more than once.

But now, something is different.

"There were many typhoons in April this year, and it was not easy to sail, so I am afraid that this battle will drag on."

After watching it for a long time and collecting the situation of the previous days, Liu Guoxuan had a judgment in his heart.

This battle will definitely be fought, but this is not the time to fight, the weather is not suitable, how can manpower shake the sky?

In the opponent's naval division, led by Shi Lang and other famous generals who know the army, he is cautious in his heart, and he will definitely not send troops at this time to make such a mistake.

Otherwise, before the two sides have yet to fight, the rough sea will tear everything apart.

"It's a pity, God is not beautiful!"

"If it drags on, it will be bad for us!"

Liu Guoxuan sighed in his heart that the prince of his family was far less shrewd and decisive than the national surname.

Otherwise, it would have taken the initiative to sweep through Fujian a few years ago, instead of passively waiting.

Wait, wait, wait for the Qing court to be weak, wait for both sides to lose, wait for the world to be more chaotic...... It's good to send troops north.

It's a pity that there are so many opportunities?

didn't expect that the other party would sweep the north and south in the blink of an eye, and then swept the world, and then went out to the grassland and made immortal achievements.

He also cleared up the gentry on the coastal shore several times, cut off their tentacles, and completely trapped them in Taiwan.

Now that the other side has unified the north and the south, and the army is strong, the chance left for them is even slimmer, and the more they delay, the less their advantage will be.

Finally, taking advantage of the matter of the second son, the prince decided to give it a go, and they naturally had to seize the opportunity.

According to Liu Guoxuan's idea, it is natural to fight for a quick victory, strive for peace for a period of time, and strive for an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Otherwise, Taiwan will absolutely not be able to drag on, and the war potential of each other is not at all the same level.

"If you miss the surname of the country, is it just a little bit? Romantic by nature, fond of women, and a group of wives and concubines......"

Secretly slandering his prince, Liu Guoxuan was more helpless in his heart.

"Well, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven."

"At least in this battle, we must beat the enemy army hard and buy some time."

Just when Liu Guoxuan was thinking in his heart, a young man in a military uniform walked over and bowed his hand to Liu Guoxuan seriously.

"General."

Seeing the person coming, Liu Guoxuan didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The eldest son." ”

This young man is Zheng Keshuang's brother Zheng Kezang, who is the child born to Zheng Jing and his fourth brother's wet nurse's adultery, and belongs to the concubine.

He is Zheng Jing's first son, and he is also the son he values the most, and has even been cultivating him as a future successor.

However, the concubine is different, Zheng Keshuang is the son-in-law born to his wife.

The relationship between the two sons is somewhat similar to that of the Yuan brothers in the Three Kingdoms period, fighting each other, and the camp behind them is also very fierce.

Moreover, in the early stage of the two Yuans, there was also the real eldest son Yuan Ji pressing, and the fighting momentum was not as good as the two Zheng sons.

The only benefit of Zheng Keshuang's death is that it confirms Zheng Kezang's status.

To some extent, it also clears the hidden dangers of the future.

Zheng Kezhang waved his hand: "There is no eldest prince here, only a small pawn in the army, I see the general's face sad, I don't know why?" ”

Liu Guoxuan has always supported Zheng Kezang, and now he does not hide it: "There have been typhoons in the past two months, and the main general of the other party is not a mediocre person and will not take risks, so I am afraid that we will continue to confront each other." ”

When Zheng Kezhang heard this, he also frowned slightly, unlike Zheng Keshuang's second ancestor, his eldest son is too virtuous, and he also has his own opinions on military and politics, and he soon understood the worries of his own boss.

"The general is afraid that we won't be able to drag it out?"

Liu Guoxuan sighed and nodded: "The Great Zhou Kingdom is in full swing, and I intend to settle this battle quickly, but it's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful." ”

Zheng Kezhang shook his head: "Wu thief Zangfeng and Yunnan, the world was shocked, the south and the north were fighting, and the grassland was subdued, and the spirit was completely different from the early years. ”

"Now that the Great Zhou is flourishing, it can't be simulated by the Qin and Han dynasties."

"Childe!"

When Liu Guoxuan heard this, he was immediately shocked, the prince couldn't hear such words.

Zheng Kezhang waved his hand: "The general doesn't have to worry, I am the son of the Zheng family, tell the truth, don't worry, my father won't blame." ”

"Moreover, as the saying goes, prosperity must decline, and I think that the inside of the Great Zhou is also turbulent. Not to mention Wu Sangui's short-sightedness, ruthless extermination of the clan, and the people's hearts are exhausted. It's that Wu Sangui is old now, and that King Qin doesn't look like a person who has lived under people for a long time! ”

King Qin?

Liu Guoxuan thought for a while and mentioned a name: "Qin Wang Fuqiu, Wu Sangui's son-in-law?" ”

Zheng Kezhang nodded: "Fu Qiu was originally the Qing court chief letter marquis, the head of the empress dowager, and the commander of the embroidery guard, he was greedy, insidious and fierce, and later greedy for glory, married the daughter of Wu Sangui, and invested in the Zhou camp, fought in the south and the north, and had many merits. ”

"His old troops are all over the army, and he is behind the northern expedition to the grassland, and he has built his own city in Qindi, covering the party, which can be called a country within a country."

"Such a person, how can Wu Sangui tolerate him? Not afraid of a repeat of Zhao Song's incident? ”

"I'm sure there will be a fight!"

"This is also our opportunity, when the time comes, the civil strife in the Great Zhou, we will contact the righteous people in Fujian, win the hearts of the people, go out of Taiwan, and then take the world."

When Liu Guoxuan heard this, he immediately smiled: "Gongzi is really from a high position, focusing on the world, the general is still thinking about the local war of one soldier and one soldier, and Gongzi has seen the situation in the world." ”

"In this way, it may not be a good thing to drag it out?"

Zheng Kezhang smiled lightly: "There will be a chance, but now the general has to win this battle." ”

"In this battle, we won, Wu Sangui's prestige has been frustrated, with our help, His Royal Highness the King of Qin can also strengthen his determination."

After listening to his son-in-law's plan, Liu Guoxuan laughed: "Naturally." ”
