Chapter 314: Death a few lively

Chen Cao's original attention was in Nanjing and the north, and the war between the north and south of the river was the most critical factor, but now the sudden appearance of Zhu Yujian, a fierce man, really caught him off guard.

"Since Chengzu Jing is difficult to cut the domain, it has been difficult for the vassal king to do anything locally, not to mention that the Zhengde Dynasty also had the rebellion of the Ning Domain, and the guards of the vassal king have been reduced again and again, except for the Shu King of Sichuan, and now according to the custom, the prince's palace guards three hundred households, and the county king's mansion has one hundred households."

"But I heard that this Tang king's grandson is very courageous, and after hearing that King Fu rebelled, he pulled a big banner to recruit troops and horses, and in Luyang Pass, he has gathered more than 40,000 people in the army of King Qin, who went north, and the momentum is huge."

Huang Chunyao then added: "If the southeast is uneven, the rear is very worried, especially the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan..."

As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Cao remembered that Mu Qilin was very knowledgeable about current affairs during the First World War in Nanjing, and helped open the Chaoyang Gate, but now the person in charge of Mu Mansion is not him.

"Mu Qiyuan died of illness last year, his son Mu Tianbo attacked the Duke of Qianguo, Mu Qilin must have a grudge against this matter, Mu Tianbo is young, and the affairs of Mu Mansion are basically in the hands of his mother Chen, Mu Qiyuan's image in Yunnan has not been good, and I heard that he still died violently."

Chen Cao thought about it, a ten-year-old child became the Duke of Qianguo, and he still had the name of General Zhengnan, and it can be seen from the historical materials of later generations that Mu Tianbo is not a good stubble, if he can't fight for it, Mu Qilin can replace him.

"What's going on in Zhejiang?"

"General Qi's reputation is still there, at present, Hangzhou is in Dading, and the surrounding provinces are all arranging for our Songjiang Domain, only Quzhou, Chuzhou and Wenzhou have not surrendered, and the vassal kings of Fujian and Jiangxi have basically chosen to be neutral to see the excitement."

Chen Cao thought about it, fighting for the world is their old Zhu family's own business, after all, Zhu Laosi did it once and succeeded, and now Fu Fan has also taken Nanjing City and established the Chongde Imperial Court.

"Lord Wang, some of the people below are thinking of writing together to ask Lord Wang to move to Hangzhou..."

Although this was a tentative question, Chen Cao still frowned, and after a long silence, he still interrupted the idea of moving to Hangzhou.

"Although Hangzhou is good, I remember that the Southern Song Dynasty court died in Hangzhou," Chen Cao said seriously: "At this time, the southeast corner of An'an is not the best choice, you look at the history books, which court can make a fortune in the southeast and unify the country?" When the emperor was the Taizu, it was because of the expulsion of the Tartars, and now in this world, it has not yet reached that time;

However, the southeast is uneven, and there is really no way to unify the world in the north. ”

Huang Chunyao asked again: "Does the prince want to send troops to the southeast?" ”

Chen Cao knocked on the round table table, thoughtfully, and then said: "Jingping southeast is a good choice, once you control the wealth of the southeast, whether it is the northern court or the southern court, you have to ask me;

Since this is the case, then give the order, mobilize the forces of ten divisions, and sweep the southeast. ”

"Please ask the prince, which province to start from?"

Chen Cao stood up and came to the map behind the round table: "First level the entire territory of Zhejiang, and then go south to Fujian, I heard that Zheng Zhilong has been very active recently, but he has not listened to the announcement of the court in the north." ”

.

"Did you hear that? The prince of the county is going to war again..."

"Hey, fight, our Songjiang Domain is now strong, who is not fighting?"

"Brother Affection's words are completely watching the excitement, and if you fight, you have to die..."

"Didn't the prince of the county say it? As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, and now everyone in Songjiang was rich, and as soon as the war began, prices rose, and the value of the goods that went out of our Songjiang territory was high. ”

"Zheng Zhilong is a pirate, that guy is not a good bird, yo, look, the front page of Daming Daily..."

In the wine shop, a group of people all surrounded them, and only one person was heard: "Mobilize ten divisions to the south and southeast to clear the universe, Zheng Zhilong is going to be unlucky..."

"Look at the reviews..."

At the end of the newspaper, a comment was summarized on the dispatch to the southeast: "The southeast has been dark for a hundred years, or a few people have to be lively..."

.

Zheng Zhilong was only awarded the title of Fujian General Military Officer last year, and his status was high for a while, especially after Nanjing was captured, a series of holy decrees from Jiangxi made him anxious, in addition, he learned that Chen Cao personally led his troops to the south after the three prefectures of Chuzhou, Wenzhou, and Quzhou in Zhejiang were pacified.

Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, also learned the news later, and under the consultation of many officials in Fujian, he urgently transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses to Xianxia Pass to resist the Songjiang army moving south.

At that time, there were only two official roads into Fujian, one of which was the Xianxia Pass in the west, and the other was the water pass in the east, and the best position for the army to act was only Xianxia Pass, and the official road of the water pass was not as good as Xianxia Pass, so all the people in Fujian also put their focus on Xianxia Pass.

"The scouts at the front have reported hundreds of thousands of rebels, all with firearms."

Zheng Zhilong frowned, he wondered why Chen Cao, who had the three most elite fleets in the Ming Dynasty, didn't send a single ship from the sea.

However, there are still advantages from the land, and only by guarding the Xianxia Pass and the Water Dividing Pass, Fujian can be preserved.

Xiong Wencan moved the Qincha Xingyuan to Jianning Mansion, where the Fujian Xingdu Division was stationed, and Zheng Zhilong now also transferred all the general soldiers to Jianning Mansion to join Xiong Wencan.

"It is a matter of Fujian's safety and danger, and we have to pay attention to it."

Xiong Wencan stroked his beard, and then said: "Zheng Zongbing, according to the old man's opinion, if the old man guards the Xianxia Pass, how about Zheng Zongbing guarding the water dividing pass?" ”

Although Xiong Wencan was a civilian official, he had served in Liaodong and the Ministry of War before he was sent to the governor of Fujian, and he was quite familiar with the art of war.

Zheng Zhilong pondered for a long time, according to the usual practice, all the military affairs in Fujian are now under his Zheng Zhilong, the general army, but the Ming Dynasty is armed with literature and martial arts, and the safety of Fujian has to be decided by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong clenched his fists: "Since Lord Xiong proposed, the lower officials will do it." ”

Xiong Wencan didn't like Zheng Zhilong, a guy like a pirate who recruited an enemy from the bottom of his heart, how could a vulgar martial artist get into the eyes of him, a two-list jinshi, for his own safety, Fujian's 100,000 troops left 70,000 in Xianxia Pass, and only 30,000 horses were dispatched to Zheng Zhilong.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong still has nearly 20,000 sailors, and Zheng Zhilong, who went to the Fenshui Pass, for the sake of safety, transferred all the 20,000 sailors who stayed in Fuzhou's nest to the bay of Pumensuo, and it only took less than a day to go ashore from there to reinforce the Fenshui Pass.

The closest to the water distribution pass is the Tongshan Fort military town, where Zheng Zhilong's 30,000 troops are stationed at this moment, and the original Qian general of the water distribution pass has also handed over the defense to Zheng Zhilong.

"Zhibao, you lead 10,000 horses to enter the water pass."

The two passes in Fujian are dangerous and abnormal, the two most dangerous passes in the southeast are in Fujian, the most dangerous is Xianxia Pass, followed by the water pass, Zheng Zhibao settled in the water pass, and there are 10,000 horses, and others can be said to be sad.

In the barracks, Zheng Zhilong was sitting on the Taishi chair, pressing his hands on the handles on both sides, as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle was against Chen Cao back then."

Zheng Caili interjected on the side, and seeing that Zheng Zhilong did not react, he said: "Right now, Chen Cao personally led the soldiers and horses of Songjiang to come, and he is still under the banner of the Chongde Imperial Court, the family affairs of the Heavenly Family, how should we judge as courtiers?" ”

Zheng Zhilong turned his head slightly to look at Zheng Cai, and then continued to be in a daze.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was no longer talking, Zheng Cai also closed his mouth with interest, and it took a long time for Zheng Zhilong to speak: "I am the general soldier of Fujian appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, and I cannot change it." ”

Three days later, a holy decree from Beijing was forwarded from Xiong Wencan, in addition to asking the officials of Fujian to guard Fujian, Zheng Zhilong was also promoted, Jue Nan Anbo...

It's wooing...

Zheng Zhilong thanked the eunuch who passed the decree, and then sat in the barracks with a dejected face, this world is the king to have soldiers and food, it seems that even the northern court is afraid of him.

After learning that Chongzhen gave Zheng Zhilong the title of uncle, Chen Cao, who was not stingy, immediately sent a letter to Zheng Zhilong on behalf of Emperor Chongde, and knighted the Marquis of Nan'an, of course, the advantage was to let Zheng Zhilong abandon the water dividing pass.

After reading the letter, Zheng Zhilong folded it and handed it to Zheng Cai next to him: "Send someone to patrol the governor's line and hand it over to Lord Xiong." ”

"Divisive plan, uncle..."

How did Zheng Zhilong not know about this divisive plan, although he was a pirate, Zheng Zhilong was also from a family of eunuchs, he had read, and Emperor Chengzu promised his son to be crowned the crown prince, but who would take it seriously if there was no basis for it? Moreover, at the moment when the two sides were about to go to war, if he believed the other party, he would be the big fool.

"How is the military situation of the Songjiang Army?"

Zheng Cai clenched his fists: "In Pingyang County, the Songjiang army investigated by the traitors is at least more than 30,000, and the specific commander of the army does not know who it is." ”

Zheng Zhilong let out a sigh: "How is our business with the Dutch?" ”

"The fleet is on its way back, at least two days."

Zheng Zhilong looked at the sky: "The dark clouds are coming, I don't know if Mazu Niangniang can bless us with smooth sailing this year." ”

.

"The promise at that time was just a fart, and the superior turned his head and didn't recognize it much, the most recent thing was the matter of Zhu Gaoxu, the fourth king of the Han Dynasty."

Everyone laughed, Chen Cao looked at Tang Yannian and said, "Why don't I pat you on the back seriously?" ”

"Don't be a prince, the last general is not qualified to be your son..."

"Hahaha..."

The tent couldn't stop laughing, and then the laughter slowly became smaller, Chen Cao covered his stomach and said: "There are 20,000 Zheng Zhilong's sailors in the bay of Pumensuo, and Jinyiwei found out that Zheng Zhilong has a batch of firearms to buy and sell with the Dutch, and our army needs to take the water division pass before he gets the premise of advanced firearms, otherwise more and more people will die before the pass." ”
