The next day, the second day of the 11th month of the fifth year of the Yongli calendar.

Early in the morning, Su Yan led the Shenji Battalion, the Zhongjun Battalion and the Tengpai Battalion, a total of 3,000 people, to leave Quanzhou City, leave from the south gate of the town, cross the Jinjiang River, and head towards Anping, which is located east of Tong'an.

The army marched until noon, and finally arrived in Anping, at this time the city wall of Anping Town has been planted with the banner of the Ming army, which has obviously been taken by Zhu Chenggong's army - after learning the news of the fall of Quanzhou Mansion, the Qing army with Anping immediately shrank its forces and retreated to a small county town, so that the Zheng army can easily take Anping Town.

Su Yan's army had just appeared outside Anping Town, when he saw the city gate of Anping Town open, and a team of soldiers ran out from inside, lined up neatly on both sides of the city gate, and then, he saw a few horsemen slowly walking out of the town.

The first person is dressed in a big red official robe, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, a handsome face, a mustache, and slightly dark skin, which is obviously the complexion that can only be found when living by the sea all year round.

Behind him, a big flag was raised straight up, with three big characters on it: "Zhangguo Gong".

This person is not the national surname Zhu Chenggong, who is it?

Su Yance stepped forward immediately, out of respect for this national hero who went down in history, he raised his hand from afar and saluted, and said: "Senior Su Yan, please meet the national surname." ”

Zhu Chenggong bowed slightly, he smiled, looking at the leader of the anti-Qing rebel army in front of him, from the beginning of conquering a remote county town, it only took four months to recover Quanzhou Mansion, and the territory and population under his rule far exceeded him Zhu Chenggong.

Su Yan's figure is not strong, if he didn't clearly know that this person is Su Yan, who is famous in Fujian, then Zhu Chenggong will probably think that the person in front of him is just an ordinary scholar - although Su Yan's family is poor, his parents still try their best to send him to a private school to study, although the original owner usually works in the field, but his physical fitness is still far inferior to that of ordinary farmers.

If it weren't for the Qing army slaughtering the township and killing the parents of the original owner, how could the original owner join the anti-Qing rebel army with the body of a weak scholar?

"The name of Anguo, I have long heard of it, repeatedly defeated the Qing army, captured Tong Guoqi, Fujian Province was shaken, I have always wanted to see you as a young hero, and when I saw it today, it was really unusual." Zhu Chenggong said softly, in order to show his closeness, he only called Su Yan's expression - this was learned from Feng Chengshi's mouth.

"The surname of the country has won the award, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the people are full of offenses against my mountains and rivers, so that the world sinks, all the bloody Han family sons and daughters will raise troops to resist it, and the younger generations are just contributing a modest effort from it."

Seeing that Su Yan was so humble, Zhu Chenggong had a better impression of him, and he remembered what Feng Chengshi had reported to him about Zheng Chagu after he returned to Xiamen.

After Feng Chengshi's report, he also put forward his own opinion, he believed that the fifth lady Zheng Chagu was not married, and could marry Su Yan, making the two families close allies.

Zhu Chenggong didn't agree immediately, he was going to meet Su Yan in person before considering it, at least until now, he had a good impression of Su Yan.

After the two talked again, Zhu Chenggong invited Su Yan into the city to talk in detail, although Su Yan was not too worried that he would attack him, but the heart of defense is indispensable, he ordered the army to be stationed outside the city, in addition to his own only fifteen general guards, but also brought an additional team of line infantry to follow him into the city together.

Looking at the line infantry that followed Su Yan into the city, Zhu Chenggong and his generals couldn't help but take a closer look at these soldiers holding firearms that they had never seen before, Zhu Chenggong got more information about Su Yan than he imagined, and he naturally knew that these soldiers with new-style firearms were Su Yan's most important descendants.

The group came to the largest house in Anping Town, here is the old residence of the Zheng family, which was built by Zheng Zhilong in Chongzhen for three years, and was frantically looted after being occupied by the Qing army, and even Zhu Chenggong's mother Tian Chuan died in the hands of the Qing army.

Entering the front hall, Zhu Chenggong sat in the main seat, raised his hand to signal Su Yan to sit in the first place on the left-hand side, after the two of them were seated, Zhu Chenggong got straight to the point, and said: "Anguo, in order to attack the Tong'an Qing army, I brought more than 150 warships from the left side, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers, but our army is proficient in water warfare, and land warfare is not refined, attack Tong'an County, land warfare will be handed over to you." ”

"It's nature." Su Yan raised his hand and said: "Although there are only more than 3,000 people in our army, all of them are veterans, and there are twelve Hongyi cannons, which are enough to collapse the Tong'an city wall." ”

The Falcon Cannon was also made by European craftsmen, so it's right to call it a Hongyi Cannon?

Twelve Hongyi cannons!

Zhu Chenggong was slightly shocked when he heard this, although he knew that Su Yan had Hongyi cannons in his hands, but he didn't expect that there were as many as twelve.

After a pause, suppressing the surprise in his heart, Zhu Chenggong said again: "Before the end of the war begins, we still discuss the distribution after the war first, so as not to make a gap in vain." ”

"How about the warships in the harbor halved with gold, silver, money and grain?" Su Yan said.

Zhu Chenggong thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Yes." ”

Even if he can directly recruit the system navy, Su Yan still needs to capture the warships of the Qing army to expand the strength of his sailors, otherwise he will have to wait until the year of the monkey to build a complete fleet.

What's more, he now has only one port in his hands that can produce warships.

"Anguo, when are you going to attack Tong'an?" Zhu Chenggong asked again.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning." After Su Yan finished speaking, he paused and said, "Is there a map of Tong'an County?" ”

"Yes." After Zhu Chenggong finished speaking, he ordered someone to bring the hand-drawn map of Tong'an, although this map is simple, but it can still see the topography and the shape of the city wall in Tong'an County.

Tong'an County is wide from east to west and narrow from north to south, the shape is like a silver ingot, so it is also called "silver city", there are five city gates again, the outside of the city is surrounded by a moat again, and it is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Su Yan only glanced at it, his brows furrowed, the outside of the city was surrounded by a moat, even if the falcon cannon could collapse the city wall, it would take a lot of effort to cross the moat, and there were two thousand defenders in the city, one word - difficult!

However, this does not mean that Su Yan can't take it, with the high morale and higher collapse threshold of the army that has been systematically trained, he can forcibly take Tong'an County at a heavy price.

Just, is it all worth it?

This is also a question that Su Yan has been haunting his heart since he defeated Ma Degong, he didn't know that the system soldiers and the soldiers who had been trained had a higher collapse threshold, but he didn't think that the price paid could be proportional to the results obtained, so he never let the soldiers under his command fight the enemy at any cost.
