"Drive! Drive! ”

Guiyang Mansion, a horse galloping on the rugged mountain road, the knight whipped the horses, while shouting loudly, he rushed all the way to the front of the continuous military camp outside Guiyang Mansion, and was stopped by the soldiers on duty at the gate of the barracks.

"Who! The barracks stop! ”

The two soldiers shouted.

"I am a confidant of the eunuch Pang Gonggong, and I have something important to ask Lord Sun!"

The knight rode to a halt in front of the barracks, and said to the two soldiers, holding up the token of status in his hand, and the two soldiers looked at each other, then made way to the side, and the knight continued to ride his horse and rush in.

Entering the barracks, you can see the tents inside the barracks, countless soldiers shuttling between the tents, and many soldiers in armor are training in the open space, drinking loudly, and they are in order.

The knight galloped all the way, and soon came to a large tent with a handsome banner standing in the middle of the barracks, and he turned and dismounted, and gave the horse to a soldier who met him, and then explained his intention to the soldier who was guarding the tent, and the latter entered the tent, and after a while the soldier came out and said to the knight, "Go in, and the lord of the kingdom will summon you." ”

The knight nodded, and then strode into the tent, and as soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man with a long beard and regular clothes sitting on the main seat, and on either side of him stood several generals in armor, who focused their eyes on him as soon as they saw the knight enter.

Under the gaze of everyone, the knight walked to the tent, knelt on the ground, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the villain is ordered by Gonggong Pang to report something important to you!" ”

"What?" Sun Kewang, who is now nearly half a hundred years old, looked at the visitor expressionlessly and asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, a few days ago, Su Yan's good news from Fujian was frequently reported, and Liu Yuansheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the opportunity to persuade the Holy Shang to move to Fuzhou for refuge, and Gonggong Pang also asked the villain to tell His Royal Highness that if the Holy Lord moved to Fuzhou and gave Su Yan, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the opportunity to control the government, His Royal Highness's status would not be guaranteed!"

"Move to Fuzhou?" Sun Kewang sneered and said, "This Yongli child is really unwilling to be lonely, he is staying well in Nanning, what are you doing in Fuzhou." ”

Daring to call Emperor Yongli so in front of everyone's eyes is enough to prove that he does not have the slightest respect for the Ming "Escape" Sect, Pang Tianshou's cronies didn't dare to say anything more after hearing it, but buried their heads a little lower, and replied:

"Your Highness, the Holy Lord is very jealous of you, for fear that you will follow the example of Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he is unwilling to continue to retreat into Yungui when the Qing army is approaching, but goes to Fuzhou by sea."

"Huh." Sun Kewang sighed lightly, waved his hand, and said to the knight, "You go down first." ”

"Whoa." The knight stood up and saluted, then slowly withdrew with his head bowed.

After the man went out, Sun Kewang continued: "Gu knows that the court is very dissatisfied with Gu, if Yongli is allowed to go to Fuzhou, it is very likely that there will be a mistake in the matter of Lianming's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, in order to protect the overall situation, Gu wants to send someone to take Yongli to Anlong to live, what do you think?" ”

Several generals whispered a few words, and then echoed in unison, and no one objected.

Therefore, Sun Kewang ordered Wang Shangli to lead the army to Nanning Mansion and "invite" Emperor Yongli to Anlong to live temporarily.

……

At the same time, Zhejiang.

After getting Su Ci's army to capture Xinchang County, Su Yan led his soldiers and horses to set off from Taizhou on the first day of the first month of March, and advanced by waterway, first occupying the important port of Jianjiaosuo City in the north of Taizhou, and then the troops were divided into two routes, one route was for him to personally attack Ninghai County by land, and then continued to go north, all the way to land in Xiangshan by water, and set up camp in Gongjiashan after landing to contain the Qing army.

After unloading the army, the naval division led by Huang An had to continue north, sail into the Yongjiang River, block the water passage of Ningbo City, and seize the sea dominance.

A group of people in Ninghai County heard that the Ming army was in the north of the expedition, and was already waiting for Wang Shi, so when Su Yan led the army to Ninghai City, the people in the city launched an uprising and took the initiative to open the city gate to welcome the Ming army into the city.

The next day, the Ming army left Ninghai County, through the beach between Yandang Mountain and the Tiejiang River to continue to march to Ningbo Prefecture, when passing through this beach, Su Yan looked at the mountains on the west side, but he couldn't help but want to complain: Zhejiang people do not like to use Yandang Mountain to name the mountain, there is a Yandang Mountain on the border of Wentai, and there is also a Yandang Mountain in Ningbo.

However, these two Yandang Mountains have one thing in common, that is, the mountains are treacherous, if the Qing army is stationed here with heavy troops, the Ming army will also spend a lot of money to pass through this place.

But the Qing army did not do this, according to Su Yan's investigation of the Jinyi guard, Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang stationed in Ningbo, took the initiative to shrink his forces after learning that Li Shutai was defeated, and no longer confronted the forces of the Lu Jianguo on the Zhoushan Islands, it seemed that he wanted to hold the capital city of Ningbo.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, the Ming army finally passed through the mountains and forests under the leadership of Su Yan, and the soldiers approached Fenghua County, and the defenders of Fenghua County may have been because Tian Xiong's main force was in Ningbo Mansion in the north, so when the Ming army was approaching the city, they did not take the initiative to open the city and surrender, but chose to resist, but after Su Yan opened the bombardment of the city, the defenders were afraid and opened the city gate to surrender to the Ming army.

The Ming army then entered the city, the local people saw the Ming army flag, they have to eat pot pulp, welcome the road, in the face of such enthusiastic people, Su Yan thought about it or agreed that the soldiers accepted the food that the people put in the bamboo basket, but they did not take it for nothing, and after receiving it, they must give the same silver taels to the people, as if they bought from them.

Some elderly people looked at the Ming army, who had not committed any offence against the people, and the silver that the soldiers handed over to them, their eyes suddenly turned red, and they couldn't stop muttering: "It's the Qi family's army, Qi Shaobao's army has come back." ”

After entering the county seat of Fenghua, Su Yan sent a messenger to ask for 4,000 soldiers and horses who had landed and stationed in Gongjiashan a few days ago to march to Ningbo Fucheng, and cooperated with him to besiege Fucheng on both sides, and at the same time ordered people to go in the direction of Xinchang and Shengxian to get in touch with Su Ci's soldiers and horses, and he needed to know where Su Ci's soldiers and horses were.

The news of the Ming army's capture of Fenghua County with great fanfare soon reached the ears of Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, who had betrayed the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong and handed over Zhu Yousong and his concubine to the Qing army together with Ma Degong.

He knew that his act of capturing Zhu Yousong alive and dedicating it to the Qing army was an unforgivable sin in the eyes of the Ming army, and if the city of Ningbo was broken, he would fall into the hands of the Ming army, and he would definitely fall into the same fate as Shang Kexi - the news that Shang Kexi was sentenced to death in Fuzhou spread to Zhejiang a few days ago, causing the rebels and traitors in Zhejiang who had betrayed the Ming Dynasty to shake collectively, and Tian Xiong was one of them.

He was really scared.

However, he didn't regret his previous actions, he just complained that the Qing army had always been very capable of fighting before, how could he become crotched in front of Su Yan, so that he now has to face this terrible enemy.
