Chapter 161 Guangdong Dynamics

After leaving the port of Hangzhou, Su Yan gave the fleet a new mission, allowing them to go north into the Yangtze River and bombard the cities and merchant ships along the coast.

It is worth mentioning that the Qing court's capital Shuntianfu did not get rid of the dilemma of lack of grain, and the Qing court still needed to mobilize grain and taxes from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, and these transport ships basically took the Grand Canal, and after the Ming fleet sailed into the Yangtze River, the water conservancy and transportation function of the Grand Canal would be greatly reduced.

Back in Hangzhou City, Su Yan met Feng Chengshi again, who came to Hangzhou Mansion to meet Su Yan on the order of Zhu Chenggong, and came to the study of the governor's department where Su Yan temporarily lived, and he directly handed over the letter written by Zhu Chenggong to Su Yan.

In the letter, Zhu Chenggong first politely praised Su Yan's achievements in the north, and then proposed the marriage of the Yongli Emperor, saying that he had entrusted someone to calculate the auspicious day, if Su Yan did not object, the wedding would be held on the seventh day of the seventh month of July four months later, which happened to be the Qixi Festival of the lunar calendar.

Su Yan was not dissatisfied with Zhu Chenggong's arrangement, whether it was from the perspective of the auspicious day of the zodiac, or the beautiful meaning of the Qixi Festival, Su Yan was very satisfied, and there were still four months for him to prepare, and in four months, he could not end the war at hand, and he could also give him time to react and prepare.

So, after Su Yan accepted the letter, he said to Feng Chengshi that he agreed to Zhu Chenggong's proposal on the letter, and asked Feng Chengshi to go back and tell Zhu Chenggong that the wedding would be set up in Fuzhou Mansion, and he would do his best to make all the arrangements for the wedding.

After finishing speaking, Feng Chengshi did not take out the second letter, but he said Zhu Chenggong's message - words are still easy to leak after all, only Feng Chengshi is the most loyal, and he doesn't worry about leaking secrets at all when he says it.

"Supervisor, the country surname is now attacking Dongguan County with all his might, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan of the Tatar Qing Dynasty, has been heavily defended, the country surname has been besieged for days, suffered heavy losses, and was forced to evacuate, the country surname asked me to ask you, can you go directly to Qinzhou, Guangxi from the waterway, and rescue His Majesty from Anlong, then Sun Kewang is gathering heavy troops to attack Hunan, and has no time to take care of Anlong, if our army goes to the rescue, he can't go back to the division to stop it."

"To the rescue?" Su Yan was a little puzzled, how could Zhu Chenggong in this era be bent on serving the country with loyalty, in history, although his behavior has always insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, he is also suspected of supporting the army and self-respect, vainly trying to secession, and how can the practice of this era be diametrically opposite?

What he didn't know was that if Su Yan was not there, Zhu Chenggong would still follow the footsteps of history, and gradually grew up after several defeats, and the joint attack with Li Dingguo also failed due to various factors, and the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty was bleak.

And the appearance of Su Yan changed the fate of Zhu Chenggong, and now he is still full of youthful spirit, and he is also dedicated to serving the country loyally, without the influence of some events in history, it is natural to change.

Wondering and summarizing, Su Yan still has to think about the consequences of sweeping the Yongli Emperor from Anlong, the biggest consequence is to have a bad relationship with Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang will not sit idly by, with his temperament, it is very likely that in the name of the Qin King and the Prison State, Su Yan and Zhu Chenggong plundered the Son of Heaven, it was a traitor, and announced a crusade against the southeast and the southeast.

In this way, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which was already changing its mind and retreating, would once again break out into a civil war, and the Qing army would also profit from it - as long as Sun Kewang was determined to defend Yungui, or secretly reached an agreement with the Qing army, so that the Qing army would have no worries to gather heavy troops to crusade against the southeastern Ming army, it would be enough for Su Yan and Zhu Chenggong to drink a pot.

Su Yan is not afraid that he will be wiped out by the Qing army because of this, this situation will only make the situation very bad, and it will not let him die in defeat, but Zhu Chenggong is different, now Geng Jimao still has to divide his troops to guard against the Ming army on both sides, if he is bent on beating Zhu Chenggong, the latter's poor land combat ability is completely hanging.

Zhu Chenggong was hung and beaten, Su Yan's ass was also dangerous, and the worst result was to give up foreign expansion, shrink into Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, rely on the mountains and hills to resist the Qing army, temporarily divide one side, and accumulate strength to wait for the opportunity to go north.

Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but shake his head, he can now take Nanjing directly as long as he has dealt with Boluo's encirclement and suppression army, if Zhu Chenggong becomes a pig teammate at this time, won't it be a waste of his previous efforts?

So, he hurriedly said, "No! ”

After speaking, he reacted that his emotions were a little too excited, and in Feng Chengshi's incomprehensible gaze, he collected his emotions and said: "Mr. Feng, you must stop the country from doing this when you go back, if we bring His Majesty back from Anlong, it will inevitably anger that Sun Kewang and cause a civil war to break out again within the court, this is a matter of relatives and enemies!" ”

"The surname of the country also took this into account later, and he will order the official to come and ask you." Feng Chengshi nodded and said.

"That's fine." Su Yan nodded, and then he changed his words and asked, "How is the battle situation in Guangdong?" The eldest brother's soldiers and horses were blocked out of Dongguan, but what about the Ming army scattered west of Guangzhou? At present, the Qing army in Guangdong is empty, and they should take the opportunity to regain the lost ground. ”

"The Inspector is right." Feng Chengshi praised it: "Du Yonghe, the governor of Liangguang who fled to Qiongzhou, captured the Leizhou Peninsula, supervised the university scholar Guo Zhiqi, and the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Lian Chengbi, went to Leizhou to gather the Ming army from all over Guangdong, intending to use Leizhou as a base to counterattack the Qing army. ”

This is unprecedented in history. Su Yan thought in his heart, he muttered for a moment, and said, "I don't know if the surname of the country is interested in joining forces with the Leizhou Ming Army?" ”

"Yes." Feng Chengshi said, but his face showed a little helplessness: "It's just that the combat effectiveness of those officers and soldiers is insufficient, only the crown prince Li Mingzhong's department still has a certain combat effectiveness, and it is said that there are 3,000 famous Guangxi wolf soldiers under his command." ”

Su Yan was dumbfounded, the soldiers and horses of the Ming army who were still in Guangdong at the moment, except for the three thousand wolf soldiers in Guangxi, were not enough in combat effectiveness, and they wanted to rely on them to fight back and forth with the Qing army in Guangdong, unless Geng Jimao divided his troops to help Jiangxi.

After getting a few not very good information from Feng Chengshi's side, Su Yan no longer had hope for the Ming army's offensive in Guangdong, and he still concentrated on passing through Jiangnan.

After sending Feng Chengshi away, Su Yan remembered the Shen Duty Department of the Zhongwu Battalion that was still repaired in Pingyang County, he stared at the Zhejiang Army Sketch and thought for a long time, but he still did not transfer the Zhongwu Battalion to the north of Hangzhou, where the Qing army was being confronted, and these nearly a thousand people would not play a big role.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he still transferred the Zhongwu battalion to Quzhou and handed it over to Su Dingyuan's command, and informed Su Dingyuan of the news that he transferred the second battalion of Yiwu and Weiwu to Jiangxi, so that Su Dingyuan could consider it and grasp the fighter.
