nanming man

Chapter 1019
Guangzhou City, in the cabinet.

Zhu Cihong sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and several academicians and important ministers sat on both sides.

The threat from the Wei army in the north has not yet been resolved, and the red-haired barbarians in the south provoked trouble again.

This made the small imperial court of Nanming feel as if the walls were being pushed down by everyone, and the drums were broken by thousands of people, which made Zhu Cihong and all the ministers feel ashamed and angry.

The majestic Ming court was forced to Lingnan by Wei thieves, was robbed by Sun Kewang and had to be greeted with a smile, and now it was bullied by red-haired barbarians who came from nowhere, the face of the old empire was really lost.

This made Zhu Cihong furious and furious. Gao Yihuan, an animal, would do anything for his ambition.

I have come to the throne, and what I have done, I ask myself that I am worthy of my conscience, and I am definitely not a king of subjugation. Why can't I beat Gao Yihuan, and I have fallen to this point.

Now for Zhu Cilang, Gao Yihuan was strong enough to take the upper hand, but this bastard was still not satisfied, and even colluded with Hongmaoyi.

Zhu Cihong's face was ferocious, and he knew in his heart that Gao Yihuan was letting him die and not giving him a chance.

"Your Majesty, the rebel general Jin Shenghuan is stationed in Hengzhou, and Duke Jingguo is under great pressure in Shaozhou. The traitor general Zhao Daxian is stationed in Fuzhou, and the surname Zheng Guo has already asked the imperial court for reinforcements." Chen Zilong broke the silence, "I think it will be next year at the latest. , as soon as autumn comes, the two armies of Wei thieves will launch an attack. If the court wants to gain a foothold in Lingnan, it must fight this battle well, so that the Wei thieves can't take advantage, and the Wei thieves may retreat."

Yang Wenyue took up the conversation, "Your Majesty, at the beginning, the high-ranking bandits had few people and few lands, and they occupied the place of the Fourth World War in Zhongzhou. In the end, they broke through the siege and were not wiped out. It was because of their ruthless strength that they spared their lives and dared to break the enemy's arm that the full Qing knew that he would have to pay a heavy price to destroy him. That's why the Qing army did not attack him, but instead attacked the trespassers and Daming, and he profited from it and took advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger. In today's situation, I think that I, Da Ming, also need to let the high thief Understand this point, let him retreat in the face of difficulties, and turn to deal with Sun Kewang, and I, Da Ming, will have a turning point."

After listening to the words of the two, Zhu Cihong's expression softened a little, he let out a heavy breath, and said in a deep voice: "I understand this, and the high thief also understands it. He recruited Zheng Zhilong, two armies suppressed the border, and even colluded with the red-haired barbarians. Using all kinds of tricks, I just don't want to give me a chance, I want to attack in one battle."

Yang Wenyue stood up and saluted angrily, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that we cannot let the high-ranking thief do what he wants. In the next battle, we must fight well and beat the high-ranking thief to pain."

"But now that we are being attacked, food and grass are scarce, and the morale of the army is shaken, how can we repel the Wei bandits?" Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice.

Chen Zilong clasped his fists, "We can only see the tricks first, resolve the difficulties that the high-ranking bandits set for us, and then fight decisively with them."

Yang Wenyue said: "Wei thieves occupy large areas of Huguang, Jiangxi, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang this year. The territory is not stable. We can send Jinyiwei to plan righteousness and contain Wei thieves. Maybe it can delay the time for Wei thieves to go south. In this way, If we fight for a period of time, we can deal with the Hongmao Yi first to ensure that the rear will be safe, and at the same time resume trade, obtain money and food, and meet the war."

Zhu Cilang nodded thoughtfully, "This is the only way to do it right now. But, how should the Hongmaoyi deal with it?"

This question really stumped everyone present. At this moment, Lu Zhenfei walked into the hall quickly and saluted, "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo's surname is playing, and the red-haired barbarians are harassing the sea. Please call the Guangdong Navy to participate in the attack on the officials." !"

……

In mid-July, the weather was hot, and the sea near Xiamen Island was lined with masts and warships.

When Zheng Chenggong faced Zhao Daxian who was stationed in Fuzhou, he felt great pressure. He estimated that the guards would not be able to fight against the Wei army on land, so he transferred his troops and supplies to several large islands such as Xiamen and Nan'ao, and only stationed a small number of troops on land. Horses are responsible for collecting grain and grass.

When Chen Zilong led the fleet to Xiamen, Zheng Jun's Xiamen water village had already reached a certain scale.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong led the crowd to the pier and stood waiting, watching the Guangdong navy, slowly driving into the port from far to near, and waiting for Chen Zilong to go ashore surrounded by several navy generals, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, success is far behind."

Chen Zilong glanced at Xiamen Island, and frowned slightly, "The national name is polite." He pointed to Zheng Jun who was shuttled on Xiamen Island, and couldn't help asking: "What is the national name?"

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "This place is surrounded by the sea. My army is stationed here. Even if Wei's thieves come to millions, I will not be afraid. With this island, I will be invincible."

Chen Zilong frowned into the word "Chuan". Xiamen is indeed a good place, but Chen Zilong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"Why, what's wrong with Mr. Chen?" Zheng Chenggong couldn't help asking.

Chen Zilong shook his head hurriedly. He stopped and glanced back at Xiamen's military port. He saw masts everywhere and thousands of warships. Then he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Now the court's food mainly comes from Southeast Asia, and its tax revenue mainly comes from the sea. Your Majesty There is a decree, this attack on the high officials and expulsion of the red-haired barbarians is related to the fundamentals of the imperial court, and Wang Guoxing must live up to expectations."

Zheng Chenggong's face was a little embarrassed. He had already disappointed Zhu Cihong several times, and it was only three things. If he missed again this time, he would be ashamed to see others.

Zheng Chenggong immediately clasped his fists solemnly, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the attack on Taiwan will definitely be successful!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chen, are the imperial troops in place?"

Chen Zilong hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the surname, Chen Youlong and Jiao Lian will be stationed in Zhangquan soon to take over the defense."

Zheng Chenggong nodded in satisfaction, "So, I'm relieved."

Chen Zilong asked: "National name, what is the strength of this red-haired barbarian? Is it easy to fight?"

Zheng Chenggong turned sideways, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, please, let's get into the account!"

At that moment, a group of people entered the big tent, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and Chen Zilong said again, "The red-haired barbarians provoked at sea, which affected the court's purchase of food and taxes at sea. The name of the country shows the strength of the red-haired barbarians, and how are they planning to attack? "

Wei Jun won't give Nanming much time, so Chen Zilong is a little anxious.

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and ordered someone to bring a chart to hang up. He had already learned about the situation on Taiwan Island from his staff before, and he had already made up his mind. Master, the red-haired barbarians who attacked the grain ship used this place as their base. We can get rid of the red-haired barbarians by taking down the big men. According to the information obtained by the scouts, there are only about 2000 of the red-haired barbarians in the big staff , In addition, there are some pirates and natives, there are probably thousands of people, not many, but their ships are fast and powerful, their fortresses are strong, and the terrain is dangerous, so it is not easy to attack from the front."

After hearing this, Chen Zilong felt that Zheng Chenggong had no idea, so he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Then how to defeat the enemy?"

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "I have few enemies, and the army is several times larger than the Hongmaoyi. My strategy is to swarm up, the big ships shoot at each other, the small boats intersect, and the fire boats set fire to the bee chrysalis. First destroy the Hongmaoyi fleet, and then build the fortress." The reinforcements of the Hongmaoyi are thousands of miles away, and the isolated city cannot be defended for a long time, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be captured by us."
