A year ago, Li Yan followed Chongzhen's order and set out from Nanjing with 200,000 troops on an expedition to Fujian.

The reason, of course, was that Chongzhen personally conquered Nanjing, and Nanjing's Hongguang puppet emperor was defeated. Ma Shiying, a puppet minister of the Ming Dynasty, fled to Fujian with Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's wife Xing Shi and other remnants of the defeated army and defected to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong is really a dragon, and it is definitely not a thing in the pool.

He used to be a pirate, he went to the harbor area in his early years, went to the southeast region to do business, married a woman from the cherry blossom country, and gave birth to Zheng Chenggong, and later he and his third brother Zheng Zhifeng (Zheng Hongkui) surrendered to the Ming Dynasty as officials.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together. Li Zicheng entered Yanjing, the Ming Dynasty fell, and Emperor Chongzhen died. But at this time, there were many warlords with heavy troops in their hands, and they no longer listened to the central court and divided one side. In addition to the warlords of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, and Zheng Zhilong of Fujian are also ready to move.

Zheng Zhilong felt that the time had come to do a big career, so he resigned and started his own team along the coast of Fujian. He himself had his own army, coupled with his strong family background and so many years of historical accumulation, he soon gathered more than 100,000 horses and more than 3,000 warships at sea.

Zheng Zhilong responded to the call, and the entire Fujian, including Shi Fu, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, Guangdong, and Shi Lang, the general soldier of Pingzhou (that is, Huizhou in later generations), responded one after another, and also joined the ranks of Zheng Jiajun.

Shi Fu is Shi Lang's uncle, originally their uncle and nephew were generals under Zheng Zhilong, but after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, they also climbed to the high position of deputy chief soldier.

Now that Zheng Zhilong is rebelling against Ming, they are also rebelling.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's third brother Zheng Hongkui, who had been the chief soldier of Zhenjiang and was once a subordinate of Zhu Yousong, the puppet emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was also implicated, and ran back to his hometown in Fujian with the defeated generals and joined Zheng Zhilong's gang.

Zheng Zhilong was very happy, he knew that Zheng Hongkui had real skills, he was born in martial arts, he was able to mix with the chief military officer, he belonged to the second grade military attache of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention his strong martial arts, he could also command thousands of troops and horses, he needed such a general.

And Zheng Hongkui didn't come alone, and brought his deputy chief soldier Zheng Cai over, Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong's servant, and these two will become Zheng Zhilong's right-hand man.

At this time, Ma Shiying in Nanjing defected to him with the remnants of the defeated army, which made Zheng Zhilong even more powerful.

Don't look at Ma Shiying, there are not many people they brought, only a few thousand, but Ma Shiying's strength is very strong, because at this time, in addition to Liu Zeqing, there are also Ma Shixiu, who was originally Zuo Liangyu's subordinate, and now he has taken refuge in Ma Shiying.

In addition, there are generals Wang Jincai, Hui Dengxiang, Xing, etc., all of whom are born as thieves, and they are all bandits who can fight habitually.

There are also martial arts masters Wu Shen, Master Hami and Zen Master Tuotuo, as well as Ouyang Chu, the boss of the two saints of Maoshan Mountain, and the two old Taoists of Lao Longshan, these are the two masters of Wujimen, both of whom are martial arts cultivators in the late stage of the True Qi Realm, plus Lu Qing, the master of the Demon Sect, etc.

These people all had a common enmity with Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, so they were welcomed by Zheng Zhilong.

And now Zheng Zhilong has no shortage of generals, what he lacks is martial arts masters.

Therefore, Ma Shiying's addition shocked the Zheng family's prestige, and Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed, and the two of them were determined to do a vigorous career, but they must be famous.

They knew that Emperor Wu Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, not only drove away the Manchu Qing Dynasty and turned the tide, but also drove away Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui, recovered Nanjing, and saved the Ming Dynasty from falling.

So they moved Zhu Youlang out of Guangxi, which is the Yongli Emperor in history.

Zhu Youlang used to be the king of Gui, but now it is not, because Chongzhen summoned the kings in Jiujiang and asked them to wait in line, after these Zhu family's royal family, in order to be able to see the emperor, some waited for several months, but the result was that all of them were demoted to the people.

This matter later reached the ears of Ma Shiying, Zheng Zhilong and others, and the dragon eyes were so unkind, it was bound to provoke the rebellion of the royal kings.

Therefore, Ma Shiying took Zhu Youlang to Fujian, Ma Shiying and Zheng Zhilong explained the reason, and prepared to elect him as the emperor, do a vigorous and vigorous thing, overthrow Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and rebuild the great power of the Celestial Empire.

Zhu Youlang agreed angrily, he really hated Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. But it's no wonder that Zhu Youlang Guiwang is a good person, with fiefdoms, people, and all the food and clothing, that is the emperor.

But Chongzhen's words his status as a prince is gone, and he has become a common man.

Teach him how to endure?

Therefore, Zhu Youlang, Ma Shiying, and Zheng Zhilong hit it off, and they each took what they needed.

In this way, Zhu Youlang became a puppet emperor in Fujian, and he was the Yongli Emperor. Don't look at it as a puppet emperor, it is also ten thousand times stronger than the ordinary people.

Ma Shiying and Zheng Zhilong took advantage of Zhu Youlang's fame to raise the banner of crusading against Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty in Fujian.

They trained armies, trained sailors, recruited troops, and expanded their territory everywhere.

It didn't take long for Murong Shan, the chief soldier of Taizhou, to raise the banner of righteousness in Zhejiang, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and the two peerless martial arts masters of the Murong family were invincible, and soon occupied Zhejiang, and Zheng Zhilong became a good member of the Federation.

In this way, large areas of territory along the coasts of Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang all became Zheng Jiajun's sphere of influence.

Regarding Zheng Zhilong's ambitions, Chongzhen certainly can't sit idly by.

Only then did Li Yan send an expedition of 200,000 troops to Fujian.

The generals who fought with Li Yan were Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and Ma Jinzhong, among the three horses, Ma Bao was the vanguard officer and counted his martial arts skills, and he also had the identity of Jinyi Guard.

There are many martial arts masters who fought with Li Yan in the army, including Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun and Wuyue Sword Sect and other famous martial arts masters, among which the martial arts cultivation is the highest, of course, the Ziyang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, belongs to the 4-layer realm of Gangqi Realm, and the body of half immortals.

Li Yan's people were like a bamboo, and when they came into contact with Zheng Jiajun in Fujian, Zheng Jiajun suffered defeats in a row, and under Li Yan's strategy, they were not the opponents of the "three horses" on the battlefield.

The battle of martial arts masters, at this time, Lu Qing had already returned to the East China Sea Xiaopenglai Immortal Island to cultivate. Wu Shen and Master Hami can't fight against the famous factions of Ziyang Zhenren and Shaolin Wudang.

Zheng Jiajun suffered defeats in a row, lost a large area of territory, and was compressed along the river in Fujian, Zheng Zhilong and Ma Shiying hurriedly asked for help from the Murong family in Zhejiang.

The Murong family sent the peerless master Murong to help, Murong defeated the Wuyue Sword Sect, the masters of the Shaolin Sect and the Kunlun Sect, Ziyang Zhenren was killed, Li Yan returned defeated, lost a large area of territory, and lost tens of thousands of horses.

Li Yan retreated to the camp in Nan'an and immediately asked the imperial court for help.

Chongzhen was furious when he saw Li Yan's twists and turns, the battle on the southeast coast finally came, it seemed that I had to go over and clean them up in person, and immediately decided to personally conquer Fujian, and ordered Wang Chengen to prepare soldiers and horses, and leave Beijing after half a month.
