Yangzhou City, Wu Sheng looked at Shi Kefa, Shi Inspector, he couldn't believe his eyes, but Shi Kefa's attitude was one disobedience, and he didn't take Wu Sheng and the generals under his command in his eyes at all.

Wu Sheng asked puzzledly: "I heard that Inspector Shi volunteered to guard Yangzhou?" ”

Shi Kefa said with an unruly look: "Exactly! ”

This made Wu Sheng a little uncomfortable: "Since you volunteered to defend Yangzhou, why are you indifferent to the defense of Yangzhou City?" Could it be that the so-called defense of the city is just a ceremony of your martyrdom, and you have never thought about how to defend the city at all? ”

"If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother talking!"

Shi Kefa is now bent on death, because as long as he dies, he can go down in history and achieve his good name.

But the problem is that Wu Sheng really doesn't want to kill Shi Kefa, because such an opponent is simply a great luck for the Ming Empire, you must know that one pig teammate can achieve greater results than ten excellent generals.

Wu Sheng said lightly: "You go, I won't kill you!" ”

"Why don't you kill me?"

Wu Sheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shi Kefa: "Come on, take this guy out, throw it as far as you want!" Letting this kind of person command an army of tens of thousands is simply a matter of careless human life! ”

The guards came in and forked Skefa out.

Shi Kefa shouted and cursed, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and the soldier immediately punched him in the lower abdomen, and then the world was quiet.

Just like in history, this guy doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he doesn't have the heart to understand, he led the troops to guard Yangzhou and didn't think about how to defend Yangzhou at all, just wanted to die vigorously and go down in history, as for what to do with the soldiers who followed him and the people of Yangzhou City, it is estimated that he didn't think about it at all.

On such an unreliable nerd and mass grave, the defense of Yangzhou City can be imagined, fortunately it was not the Qing army that hit this time, but the Ming army, although Yangzhou City was broken, but the tragic Yangzhou Ten Days did not happen, and he did not have a head to the ground, just let Wu Sheng throw it out......

This is the greatest luck in Yangzhou, and it is also the greatest misfortune for Shi Kefa.

Although Shi Kefa is very unreliable, whether in history or now, he belongs to the more capable kind of person, and he is also a type of person who is more respected by history books. In fact, such a person's ability to speak is not as good as that of a petty official.

It is completely a scholar who does not understand military affairs and general affairs to become an important commander of the direction army, which is completely a child's play with war, a scholar who only thinks about dying vigorously and famously in history, and has never thought about how to defeat his opponent, at least let his opponent pay enough price before he falls, has actually become a rare talent, so it is not difficult to imagine how rotten the small Nanjing court at the end of the Ming Dynasty was.

The small court in Nanjing has such a cheating father, such a child's play with war, and it is precisely because of this rare talent.

In fact, you can't blame the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty for being so nonsense, the whole Ming Dynasty has always done this, such as the former Liaodong Jing slightly Gaodi, Gaodi is the seventeenth year of Wanli Jinshi, after performing his duties by Lin Ying County Order (now Linying County, Luohe City, Henan Province), because of outstanding political achievements, tired of moving to Datong prefect, twenty-one years later, became the deputy envoy of Shandong according to the judge, and then promoted to Huguang right to participate in politics, followed by Shandong according to the inspection envoy (Zheng Sanpin) Shaanxi right political envoy (from the second product), and soon promoted to Shanxi Zuobu political envoy.

Until the first year of the Apocalypse in 1621, Gao Di, who had been an official for thirty-two years, had never been in contact with the military, he had been a county magistrate, a tax officer, and a judicial cadre, but he had never touched the military, but he entered Beijing in the second year of the Apocalypse, and was the right attendant of the military department, and the fourth year of the Apocalypse was the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

This is very illustrative, a high-ranking official who has been an official for more than 30 years, who has not been touched in the military for a day, suddenly became the economic strategy of Liaodong, and can manage the affairs of Liaodong well, which is a strange thing. But because of Ning Yuan's victory, Gao Di was promoted.

Even the three heroes of Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty are actually similar, except that Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, and Xiong Tingbi are all people who know soldiers, and they are much stronger than Shi Kefa's ability.

A few days later, after the news that Yangzhou defended by Shi Kefa changed hands within an hour reached Nanjing, Nanjing's civil and military officials were as if the end of the world had come.

"Idiot! What a fool! 40,000 horses guarded Yangzhou, and they were lost in a few days, which is really stupid! ”

"When this scholar took the initiative to ask Ying, the old man said that he didn't dry up but his breath was too big, I can't believe it, I can't use it, you want to give it a heavy responsibility, and now I'm dumbfounded, right?"

"Alas, when everyone saw that he was a chapter of export and a brilliant writer, they thought he was a rare talent, who would have thought that he would be so useless, and he would lose Yangzhou in a few days!"

"He's not incompetent, he's stupid! Knowing that Yangzhou can't hold it and won't withdraw, if it doesn't withdraw, forget it, and burn down Yangzhou's grain depot and silver storehouse, it's good now, I'm waiting for the grain and straw that I have dug out and raised with all my heart, and it's all cheaper Qi Hu's old thief! ”

"What's the use of talking about that now? Hurry up and find a way to remedy it! ”

"How can I remedy it? How to remedy! ”

"Remedy! Anqing is lost, Tongling is lost, Hefei is lost, Huzhou, Suzhou is also lost, and now even Yangzhou is lost, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Wu Qi is reborn, I am afraid there is nothing that can be done! ”

"Why do you believe in the evil of this decaying thing!"

"This lord, this official knows that you have fire in your heart, but it is insulting to speak obscenities like this!"

"Oh, my life is almost gone, and I still have Sven!"

"Death by starvation is a small matter, and a loss of temperament is a big matter, no matter what time it is, the integrity and demeanor of the reader still need it!"

"Stupid! Traditional! Our great cause is to be ruined by you who are as stupid and stubborn as Scofa! ”

"Hey, why are you swearing!"

"It's you nerds who scold!"

In the end, the quarrel turned into a group fight, and a group of civil and military ministers fought in front of the emperor, and the scene was extremely chaotic. And their puppet, Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yihai sat motionless on the dragon chair like a mud bodhisattva, Mu Ran looked at all this, and did not mean to stop drinking, anyway, even if he spoke, they should not have heard.

Zhu Yihai has seen this kind of scene many times, every time these ministers will always fight over some trivial things, tearing and tearing the sky dark, he, the emperor, can't control it at all. When they are tired, someone will naturally come to him, the emperor, to judge and ask the emperor to make decisions for them, but once the emperor makes a judgment, they don't listen at all, this puppet is really tired!

Zhu Yihai carefully looked at the ministers who were pulling each other's beards and tearing their clothes, and a trace of bitterness passed through his heart, there shouldn't be many days like being used as puppets, right? He will soon be freed!

Zhou Yanru also watched the ministers tear apart coldly, and did not mean to stop drinking.

Zhou Yanru has been angry and vomited blood several times, and he really doesn't bother to care, if you like to make trouble, let you make trouble, anyway, there is not much time for you to tear up!

The loss of Yangzhou was extremely fatal to the small court of Nanjing, which meant that Nanjing lost the last city that could echo each other and was about to become an isolated city.

……

When the news reached Beijing, Cheng Shijie had just received a report from Liu Qingsong, the Zheng Ruan dispute in the Southern Monkey, Cheng Shijie knew about this matter, in history, the Zheng Ruan dispute fought for more than 50 years, and finally under the mediation of Kangxi, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and drew the Lingjiang River as the boundary (1673). Although nominally the Nguyen Thi Emperor was the lord of Vietnam, the reality was that the Nguyen regime of Quang Nam ruled the south, while the Trung regime ruled the north. The schism lasted for the next hundred years.

At present, Liu Qingsong showed off his muscles under Thang Long City, shocking Li Chao and Zheng Zhu, and also shocking Ruan Zhu, which is equivalent to saying that the three forces of the Southern Monkey were all frightened.

In this case, Lord Li hopes that Daming can uphold justice and help him restore his royal power, he is willing to take the title of emperor and serve Daming as the suzerain, while Lord Zheng hopes that Daming will support him and become the new king of Nanhou.

Lord Ruan's reaction was a little slower, and he should have sent someone to Beijing in the future, but Cheng Shijie did not express his opinion on this matter, but asked the cabinet to discuss the matter and discuss how to deal with it.

Now, although at the critical moment of the Southern Expedition to the Southern Ming Dynasty, in fact, the cabinet did not take the Southern Expedition seriously, even if Nanjing could go down in one battle, in fact, this war stopped in Yangzhou, one step away from Nanjing.

For the successive wars, Nanming's surrendered army, a total of two or three hundred thousand horses before and after, were packed by Cheng Shijie and prepared to be sent to the New World for reclamation and mining, of course, this period is not forever, but according to their crimes, from three to twenty years.

With the abundant resources of the New World, coupled with the industriousness and frugality of the Chinese people, they will definitely be able to get excellent development, and when the time comes, even if they are allowed to come back after serving their sentences, they are not willing to come back, after all, the resources there are too rich, and they can live a life without worrying about eating and drinking.

The reason why the Zheng Nguyen War lasted for more than 50 years was actually because of the support of the Dutch and the Portuguese, Zheng Zhu received the support of the Dutch, while the Nguyen Lord won the support of the Portuguese, and even the Dutch and the Portuguese personally participated in the war.

According to historical records,

Sun Zhili said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better that we do not interfere in this matter!" ”

"No!"

Song Xiance sang the opposite tune: "The minister thinks that we should intervene in this matter, and we should interfere strongly, first of all, the southern monkey used to be the political secretary of my Ming Dynasty, and now they are in civil strife, it is the best time for us to recover Jiaozhi!" ”

"No, no!"

Sun Zhilan continued: "The people of Jiaozhi are fierce in the wilderness, and the southern monkeys have no heart to surrender, they are only afraid that it is easy to occupy and difficult to govern, and they will not taste loss!" ”

"It's very simple, take the policy of Luzon!"

Cheng Shijie said: "We only need land, not people, Jiaozhi has a humid climate, abundant rainfall, fertile land, planting rice can be harvested three times a year, if you get the southern monkey, you can ensure that Daming will no longer have the worry of famine!" ”

"Just ......"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "We can also fight a proxy war, Xie Jinglin!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"You are quite familiar with foreign affairs, this matter is left to you to deal with with with it all, we now have a lot of weapons and equipment in stock, especially the victory of the Southern Expedition, and more than 200,000 pieces of equipment have been captured, I can't look down on these rags!"

"The minister understands!"

Xie Jinglin smiled and said: "If you don't squeeze out their last drop of blood, you will be considered a dereliction of duty!" ”

Soon, Xie Jinglin, on behalf of Cheng Shijie, met with Zheng Zhu, and the two sides began negotiations on this matter, when Zheng Zhu's representative proposed to hope that Daming would support, Xie Jinglin said that they could support Zheng Zhu, but there is no free lunch in this world, and in order for Daming to support Zheng Zhu, Zheng Zhu must show sincerity.

When Zheng Zhu's representative put forward the conditions of paying tribute, Xie Jinglin directly refused to negotiate.

Deputy Zheng Zhu was puzzled, and later found out that Xie Jinglin actually contacted Representative Ruan, and now Deputy Zheng Zhu was anxious, you must know that the war between Zheng Zhu and Ruan Zhu belongs to the kind of situation where no one can help anyone, and the two sides have been fighting for more than ten years, and there is no winner or loser.

If Lord Ruan had the support of the Great Ming, they would definitely fail.

After negotiations with Zheng Zhu's representatives, Xie Jinglin proposed that if Zheng Zhu was willing to cede Lin'an Town (today's Jing'an Province, with an area of about 5997.8 square kilometers) as a treaty port of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would enjoy judicial, diplomatic, garrison, tax and other powers in Lin'an, but Lin'an Town was still under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhu, and Da Ming would take out a large number of armor, knives, spears, shields, and bows and arrows to support Zheng Zhu.

If you want to get involved in the civil war of the Southern Monkey, you must drive the Dutch and the Portuguese away, otherwise, the Dutch are very willing to support Zheng Zhu, you must know that the East Asian monster house was not established in later generations, and it is the same in history.

In 1635 alone, Zheng Zhu mobilized more than 100,000 elite soldiers, more than 500 war elephants, and more than 500 warships to attack Nguyen at sea.

During the negotiations in Beijing, the Dutch and the Portuguese had been paying close attention to this matter, but it was a pity that their strength was not enough to deal with the Native American tribes, and such a great power war was really not enough.

The Dutch are naturally unwilling to be kicked out, you must know that in order to support Zheng Zhu, they have invested a lot of energy for more than ten years, and have also obtained good benefits, in order to save the defeat, the Dutch decided to mobilize a group of warships, sea and land and march to Ruan Lord to launch an F attack, ready to seize the Ming interference, unify the southern monkey.

Although Cheng Shijie thinks that the South Seas are the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has garrisons in Luzon, Batavia, and Malacca, the sea is too big, and in the era when there are no radars and satellites, it is actually impossible to be foolproof by relying on more than 200 warships.

In particular, the Dutch sent a few or a dozen warships to have the opportunity to infiltrate the territory of the southern monkeys, but when the number reached a certain size, it was impossible to hide their whereabouts.

In the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin Island, a detachment of the Luzon Fleet is cruising here, in fact, this is not part of the jurisdiction of the Luzon Fleet, but the sailors have been soaking in the sea for many years, so lonely that they are about to go crazy, so that even a little sow can see double eyelids, but Luzon is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the law of the Ming Dynasty is enforced, and they do not dare to come nonsense.

The military discipline of the Ming Royal Navy is not a joke, as the so-called there is a policy, there are countermeasures, and there are also detachments that will take advantage of the opportunity to patrol, and it is natural to go to the Qinglou to have a look when they go ashore......

The coastal towns on the southern monkey side are naturally a good place for sailors to come and relax, first of all, this place does not belong to the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to enforce the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and even better, the women here are similar to the women of the Ming Dynasty except for the slightly black spots, and the aesthetics are online.

Of course, there is also the fact that the cost here is cheap, and you can just listen to the canned food or compress the biscuits.

At this time, the lookout shouted: "Captain, there are more than a dozen large ships ahead!" We're head-to-head! ”

"It's a Dutch battleship!"

"Do you want to do it?"

", get ready to fight!"

As soon as the battle flag was hoisted, all the warships of the detachment immediately moved forward with full sails, and both sides were looking forward to the telescope, and almost successively spotted each other, and the Dutch saw the oncoming Ming warships, especially the black ones, and knew that there was no way to avoid them.

"What should I do?"

You must know that the current Ming warships can be lifted and ready to fight at any time, if it is other navies, they Dutch will never be afraid, just do it, but the problem is that the opposite side is the Ning Navy Navy, which is the only army that can rub against the Dutch on the sea.

The Dutch have never won since their battle with the Ning Navy. Moreover, the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company has always demanded that they not come into a head-on conflict with the Ning Navy.

Soon the warships at the head of the Ning Navy hung up flags asking them why they had violated the ban, and the Dutch immediately reacted and identified themselves as armed merchant ships that had been lost.

However, the problem is that the Ming Royal Navy is not easy to fool, and when it sees the Dutch battleships behind it light up its cannons, it can only strike first and then fight. (End of chapter)
