After summoning five subordinates who were rewarded by the system, Su Yan didn't have time to rest when he got another piece of news about the enemy army.

Zhang Yingmeng, the land governor of Fujian, led more than 2,700 people to the south, passed through Fuqing County, and entered the boundary of Xinghua Prefecture.

However, now that Quanzhou Mansion has fallen into the hands of the righteous army, even if Zhang Yingmeng comes, he can't help the righteous army that has occupied the high wall, but this does not mean that he has no threat, according to Su Yan's judgment, he is likely to stay in Xinghua Mansion and wait for Jin Li's banner army to go south into Fujian in the first month of the next year, and the two armies will converge and then attack Quanzhou.

In addition to Zhang Yingmeng in the north, the area around Quanzhou Mansion was not safe, the Xiamen area of this era was under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture, after the Zheng army occupied Xiamen Island, the Qing army gathered in the area of Tong'an County to prevent Zhu Chenggong.

Su Yan originally planned to unite with Zhu Chenggong and completely wipe out the Qing army stationed in Tong'an County first, but he was worried that once the territory of the two sides bordered, Zhu Chenggong would steal his ass with his backhand like he did in the attack on Hao Shangjiu in Chaozhou last year.

Therefore, he temporarily put away this thought, and planned to leave a battalion to guard against the Tong'an Qing army, and wait for the 4,000 Qing army to complete the training next month, and then the Northern Expedition to defeat Xinghua Mansion together.

That's right, Su Yan, who occupies Quanzhou, is no longer satisfied with this place, and his eyes are not limited to fighting for a county, but to compete with the Qing army for the control of a province.

Su Yan already had a preliminary development blueprint in his mind, he was ready to occupy the entire Fujian Province first, and then send troops to Taiwan, migrate the population of Fujian to reclaim wasteland, and let Taiwan Island share the food shortage problem in Fujian Province.

It depends on whether Zhu Chenggong cooperates or not, if he cooperates, the two sides will be fine, and if he does not cooperate, Su Yan will not mind fighting with the other party.

He admires this national hero, but now that he has come to this era, if this national hero hinders him, he will not be merciful.

……

"Lord Admiral, Quanzhou, Quanzhou Mansion has fallen!"

In the territory of Xinghua Mansion, Zhang Yingmeng, who was still marching, listened to the bad news from the messenger, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse, he hurriedly clenched the reins, calmed down, looked at the messenger who knelt on the ground, and said, "You say it again?" ”

"Lord Admiral, Quanzhou Mansion has been lost last night, thieves attacked the city at night, the defenders in the city were defeated, and the city fell!"

"Shhhh

Zhang Yingmeng couldn't help but gasp, and then, he subconsciously retorted:

"How is this possible? More than an hour ago, I saw a messenger from Quanzhou City asking for help. ”

He couldn't believe it, but he also knew that the messenger in front of him would not dare to deceive himself with such a high-stakes military situation.

Seeing that Zhang Yingmeng didn't believe him, the messenger hurriedly explained: "Lord Admiral, the villain doesn't dare to deceive, early this morning, the wall of Quanzhou Mansion has been replaced with the banner of thieves, and the camp outside is also being demolished. ”

That's a big problem!

This was Zhang Yingmeng's first reaction.

The problem is really big.

If the fall of the county seat was just an innocuous small fight, then the huge Quanzhou capital city has fallen to the enemy, which will undoubtedly cause the anger of the imperial court, and the relevant personnel will also be dismissed and investigated, and they may even not be able to save their lives.

What Zhang Yingmeng is most worried about is that the imperial court will put Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, in prison with him, so he will not fall into eight lifetimes of mold.

In order to avoid this from happening, he stabilized his mind, ordered the messenger to be detained, ordered the whole army to enter Xinghua Mansion, and sent the messenger back to Fuzhou to inform Chen Jin of the matter, and told Chen Jin his thoughts - he was ready to try his best to block the news first, and mobilize the troops of the whole province to attack Quanzhou Mansion, and take advantage of Jin Li's entry into Fujian to recover Quanzhou Mansion, and make meritorious contributions.

However, Zhang Yingmeng quickly reacted, and wanted to mobilize the troops of various prefectures to encircle and suppress the thieves in Quanzhou Mansion, at least it would take more than half a year, and Jin Li would soon enter Fujian......

Different from Zhang Yingmeng's panic, when the news reached the Xiamen Zhongzuo Institute, almost all the soldiers on the island cheered.

In this Fujian province, they are no longer alone.

On land, not far away in Quanzhou, they also had a new ally—a natural ally for both sides to share their goal of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

In the command mansion of the center-left guard, Zhu Chenggong and a cadre under his command will gather together, and everyone will have a look of joy on their faces.

"Dehua Su Yan has recovered Quanzhou Mansion yesterday, this feat is inspiring, I want to send an envoy to Wuzhou to inform Your Majesty of Quanzhou's victory, and to Su Yan to ask for an official title, so that it will be a subordinate army of our court." Zhu Chenggong said.

"This move is to show goodwill to Su Yan, our army is lonely in Fujian, all around is the Qing court eagle dog, now Su Yan is born, should join hands with it, jointly resist the Qing court, I heard that the Qing court ordered Pingnan General Jin Li to lead 10,000 Eight Banner Army south into Fujian, if that Jin Li defeated Su Yan, our situation will be more difficult, the so-called lips and teeth are cold, it is so."

All the generals nodded yes, Jin Li's threat was still too great, even if they occupied Xiamen Island and had the superior naval division to protect it, so that the Qing army could not cross the sea to attack, but such a strong enemy was on their side, it was still unsettling.

At this moment, a general got up and came out, hugged his fists and said: "General, the new recovery of Quanzhou, and the Tong'an Qing army can't stay, our army should unite with Su Yan, jointly strangle the Tong'an Qing army, stabilize the rear, and then concentrate on attacking Zhangzhou." ”

This general is Shi Lang, Shi Zunhou, and he is still a capable general under Zhu Chenggong.

When Zhu Chenggong saw the other party coming out, he frowned slightly at first, then nodded, and said: "What your lord said is very true, if the Tong'an Qing army is not annihilated for a day, it will make me like a fish in my throat for a day." ”

After the words fell, he looked at Feng Chengshi, who was on the left, and said, "Hengchen, I order you to go to Quanzhou Mansion to meet Na Su Yan and discuss with him about joining forces to defeat the Qing Dynasty." ”

Feng Chengshi got up and took the order.

Seeing that Zhu Chenggong had adopted his suggestion, Shi Lang also returned to his seat and sat down satisfied.

Shi Langqi is brave in battle and very talented, but he is also arrogant, and he is determined to show his ability and be reused by his boss.

And Zhu Chenggong is also a radical and irritable person, he can't stand the arrogance of his subordinates, so he has a little opinion on Shi Lang, which is why he frowned slightly when he saw Shi Lang out of the ranks.

Of course, this did not affect him from adopting Shi Lang's suggestion that he agreed with.
