The two lines of soldiers and horses converged, including 100,000 sailors, with a total strength of more than 500,000, which is a real number, without a little water.

Moreover, under the supervision of the crown prince, under the planning of the civil and military generals in the capital, Gu Shunyi, a master of brocade clothes and guards, worked diligently, and the supplies such as military salaries and silver, grain, grass and military supplies were continuously transported from the capital to the front line, so Chongzhen's men and horses can be described as soldiers and soldiers.

There was another big victory in front of him, and the morale of the Ming army was high, so they should take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Therefore, Chongzhen passed the decree, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads marched together, and the 500,000 Ming army continued to drive the rebels non-stop.

A few days later, the Ming army's troops again arrived at the boundary of Fuzhou, and the Ming army pushed the battle line forward for hundreds of miles in one breath.

Ma Shiying led more than 100,000 horses and horses, and retreated, the Ming army was like a bamboo, and Ma Shiying retreated to Fuzhou City.

At this time, the defender of Fuzhou City was Shi Daxuan.

Fuzhou City has basically reached the southeast coast, and it is very close to Quanzhou. Quanzhou is also a coastal city, in the southwest of Fuzhou, only three or four hundred miles away, Zheng Jiajun once again suffered a big rout, causing the whole of Fujian to shake, the biggest shock is of course Zheng Zhilong Group.

At this time, the defender of Quanzhou was Zheng Zhilong's fifth brother Zheng Zhibao, and he was stationed in Quanzhou with 50,000 elite soldiers, which was to guard Zheng Zhilong's hometown.

And at this time, Quanzhou was not only Zheng Zhilong's hometown, but also the capital of Emperor Yongli. Zheng Zhilong was ambitious, supported Emperor Yongli, and planned to do a vigorous career with Ma Shiying.

They don't admit that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is such a thing, of course, there is also Ma Shiying's instigation, saying that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is possessed by demons, this is the name of Chongzhen of the Manchu Dynasty pretending to be a demon sect, and he wants to compete for the Han people's country, and the real Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has already been martyred in the Jiashen Change.

How can a person be resurrected from the dead?

Zheng Zhilong believed that it was true, originally he was not willing to listen to the Ming court's drive, surrender was forced to surrender in the past, but now with such a strong military strength, who doesn't want to sit on the emperor's throne?

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's ambition is inflated, and the Yongli Emperor they got is actually a puppet, and it is of course Zheng Zhilong who really counts.

Now Zheng Zhilong, in the name of Emperor Yongli, crowned Ma Shiying as the generalissimo of the army, gave him 150,000 elite soldiers, and let his brothers Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai and others fight against Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.

And Zheng Zhilong placed Emperor Yongli in his hometown in Quanzhou, leaving his fifth brother Zheng Zhibao and his youngest son Zheng Xi to accompany Wang, leaving 50,000 elite soldiers to garrison the so-called capital Quanzhou.

Ordered his confidant Shi Daxuan (Shi Lang's father) to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to garrison Fuzhou, which is the gateway to Quanzhou, and sent the general Zhou Quanbin to lead 30,000 troops to defend Zhangzhou.

Zheng Zhilong led 180,000 marine and land troops, nicknamed 300,000, and more than 6,000 large and small warships, to conquer Taiwan.

This is the idea given to him by his general Shi Tianfu, Shi Tianfu is Shi Lang's uncle, this is Zheng Zhilong's advisor, and he is also a pirate, the Shi brothers and Zheng Zhilong have long formed a friendship of life and death.

The reason why they wanted to go on an expedition to Taiwan was because the mainland had been fighting wars for many years, and the flames of war had already burned to the common people in the southeastern coastal areas, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and other coastal areas, and many people had fled to Taiwan.

Because Taiwan is fertile and overseas, it is far away from the war, attracting a large number of residents. But now that the red haired man is also here, the Dutch foreign devils have built two cities in Taiwan, with a large number of troops stationed.

This is something that Zheng Zhilong cannot tolerate.

Fujian, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, including Dongying, which is the place where Zheng Zhilong's merchant ships often operate, how can Dutch devils be allowed to run rampant here?

The Taiwan Strait is equivalent to the private strait of their Zheng family, and no merchant ships or warships are allowed to pass through it without the permission of Zheng Zhilong.

Hongmaozi wants to intervene now, but Zheng Zhilong definitely refuses. What's more, the Zheng family's private navy had a naval battle with the Dutch navy a few years ago.

More than ten years have passed, and the Dutch have gone to Taiwan again, and Zheng Zhilong feels that they want to make a comeback and are suspected of revenge.

In addition, there is an important reason, that is, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, and it took only two years to cure the Ming Dynasty, which is full of holes, into a diseased tree and spit green, and it is vigorous again

Vitality, now the vast Jiangbei, as well as a large area of territory in the south of the Yangtze River have been recovered, and Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably march south after his westward expedition.

Li Yan's 200,000 Ming troops are not terrible. But Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the coast in person, so they have to think about it, because now Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty is too famous.

In order to develop strategic depth, they must take the treasure island of Taiwan.

Zheng Zhilong adopted Shi Tianfu's suggestion, and after several months of planning and preparation, he led a heavy army to the sea to point his sword at Taiwan.

The generals who went to battle with him, in addition to Shi Tianfu, a strategist who was born as a pirate in both civil and military affairs, also had the eldest son Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong), who had just returned from his art studies, and the junior general Shi Lang, the general Gan Hui and so on.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong's main fleet had already passed Kinmen Island, and the forward troops had already reached Penghu Island.

The Zheng family's army was prestigious, so his fleet was overwhelmed. Local pirates and small gangs fled the area.

But at this time, after the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan learned of this news, they thought that Zheng Zhilong wanted to recover the treasure island of Taiwan, so of course they did not do it, and immediately launched military deployment.

Now the Dutch have built two castles in the south and southeast of Taiwan, where garlic has long been entrenched. Originally, their garrison consisted of only a few thousand people, and the firearms they used were all foreign guns and cannons made by Westerners.

The East India Company's original intention was to do business here, and now it intends to take advantage of it for political gain.

But they knew that Zheng Zhilong was not easy to mess with, and they had suffered Zheng Zhilong's losses in the Battle of Kinmen more than ten years ago. Therefore, the number of troops immediately began to increase, from the original 6,000 to the current 20,000 in just over a month.

In the battle for an island and reef near Penghu Island, the forward troops of the Zheng Jiajun suffered a loss. The soldiers of the Zheng family army used cold weapons such as broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, while the other party used foreign guns and cannons, and its advantages were obvious.

When the news reached Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong was furious......
