Chapter 1056 Zheng Chenggong's Strategy
Zheng Chenggong knew more about Nanyang, "Your Majesty, there is Java, part of it is occupied by the Dutch, and part of it is still in the hands of the locals."

"It is said that the two barbarians of the Netherlands and Spain came from the far west, and I am really surprised that they can occupy islands outside the inside and outside." Zhu Cihong sighed, looking at the map, obviously very interested, but only Rather interested.

As he spoke, he sighed, turned around and looked at Zheng Chenggong, "Qing Family, the main reason I came here this time is to discuss with you about dealing with the Wei thief."

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly saluted and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Zhu Cihong glanced at Zheng Chenggong who was bowing, and said casually: "I heard that the Qing family has some friendship with Ding Qirui, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang appointed by the high thief. I don't know, but the Qing family has found out the next move of the high thief?"

Zheng Chenggong frowned, understood what Zhu Cihong meant, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I do have correspondence with Ding Qirui, but it was all my plan to slow down the war. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

"Hehe~" Zhu Cihong smiled, and hurriedly supported Zheng Chenggong, "Don't worry, the Qing family, I can trust you, otherwise why would I come to Taiwan!"

Zheng Chenggong stood up, but still explained: "Your Majesty, Ding Qirui is a Jinshi of Wanli. When the first emperor was there, he was the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers corresponded with him. Food and supplies."

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, then said: "I understand what the Qing family meant, but what does Ding Qirui mean?"

Zheng Chenggong said: "I have figured out what Ding Qirui means. He wants to maintain the peace along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and at the same time wants me to surrender to the high-ranking thieves."

Zhu Cihong walked back and forth in the hall for a few steps, stopped, stared at Zheng Chenggong, and said in a deep voice: "There is no second day, and there is no second master for the people. The high-ranking thief is now sending troops to the Western Regions, and he has no time to look south. Once the problem of the Western Regions is resolved by him, I will It is expected that the high thief will definitely target Daming again. Wei thief's navy is weak now, Ding Qirui does not want to cause trouble, and deliberately shows his favor to the Qing family, but once his navy is trained, I predict that the Wei thief will definitely turn his face. This Ding Qirui may not be a plan to delay the attack. !"

Ever since Gao Yihuan proclaimed himself emperor, Zhu Cihong knew that he and Gao Thief would never die.

Although there is a temporary ceasefire between the two sides, and some officials in the court of both sides want to negotiate a peace, Zhu Cihong knows very well that unless the two sides are exhausted, no one can do anything to the other, and a balance is reached, otherwise neither side will Give up the opportunity to destroy the opponent.

As the emperor, Zhu Cihong still had this kind of political awareness, so he learned about Zheng Chenggong's situation on Qiongzhou Island, and after discussing with the ministers, he was very worried.

Now the southeast coast, including the Wei army in Guangdong, does not take the initiative to provoke the Ming army. This seems to be a good thing, but it is actually a bad thing.

Given the current size of the Ming and Wei dynasties, if the Ming army did not take advantage of the failure of the Wei army's navy to attack the coast and gain population and resources, once the Wei army's navy was trained, they would be slaughtered.

After Chen Zilong, Wang Yan and others discussed, they felt that Zheng Chenggong and Ding Qirui's tacit understanding was dangerous. At the same time, they were also worried that Zheng Chenggong would switch to Wei, so Zhu Cihong took the risk to come to Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong was silent for a while, and after a while, he walked to the map and said, "Your Majesty, I have already thought of this point. Ding Qirui is planning to slow down the army, and so is the minister. He hopes that the minister will not attack the coast, but the minister wants to obtain supplies from the mainland and exchange goods with each other." Calculate and take what you need.”

Zhu Cihong frowned, and Zheng Chenggong continued: "A naval division is no better than an infantry army. It will take at least three or four years to form a combat force. If I don't attack Wei thieves now, it doesn't mean that I won't attack Wei thieves in the future."

Zhu Cihong frowned, "Oh, the Qing family will continue talking!"

Zheng Chenggong pointed to Lu Song and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Wei thieves are colluding with the Western barbarians, we are actually in a double attack. The Wei thieves occupy the Central Plains and are powerful. It will take many years, even decades, to fight against them. This requires us to have a stable rear, and to continuously provide money, food and soldiers, otherwise we will not be able to consume the Wei thieves, and once defeated, there will be no way to retreat."

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, lost in thought, Zheng Chenggong continued: "If we attack the Wei thieves now, the Wei thieves will block the coast, we don't have a stable rear, we must be short of resources, and there are Western barbarians behind us, the situation is not optimistic. "

Zheng Chenggong pointed to Lu Song, "So I think it's better to take advantage of Ding Qirui's reluctance to start a war, and first obtain resources from the mainland to attack the Xiyi here. This barbarian comes from tens of thousands of miles in the far west. If we capture Lu Song, the Xiyi cannot send troops here. In this way, we have a stable rear. At this time, we can start to attack the coast, seize the population, and move to Taiwan Island and Luzon. In this way, we have the rear to provide supplies, and the population to supplement the source of troops. Long-term confrontation with the Wei thief."

What Zheng Chenggong meant was to first take advantage of Wei's unwillingness to go to war, obtain resources from the mainland, defeat Spain, which was in collusion with Wei, and solve the threat from the rear, and then attack Wei's coast, rob population and resources, and enrich Taiwan and Luzon.

In this way, even if the Wei army is trained as a navy in the future, it will be difficult to do anything to Daming, and even if Daming is defeated, he can continue to retreat southward, so that there is no way out.

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly and said appreciatively, "The Qing family once mentioned this idea to Wang Qing, but there was no specific strategy at that time. Now I listen to the Qing family's words, and I feel at ease!"

When Wang Yan came to Xiamen earlier, he wanted to invite Zheng Chenggong to counterattack Dalu. Zheng Chenggong told Wang Yan his thoughts, but at that time his thoughts were not mature, he just gave a general idea.

Now with the passage of time, Zheng Chenggong already has a complete set of strategies in mind.

Under this strategy, he can attack the coast when he advances, wait for an opportunity to counterattack the mainland, retreat to defend Taiwan, and even if he loses, he can retreat south to Luzon.

Before that, Zhu Cihong had a heart for the mainland and was very unwilling to go into exile overseas. He was actually quite dissatisfied with Zheng Chenggong's refusal to take advantage of Gao Yihuan's opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The main goal of his visit this time was actually to urge Zheng Chenggong to attack Wei Jun, so as to prevent him from getting too hot with Ding Qirui. However, after today's inspection, Zhu Cihong's heart has changed, and Zheng Chenggong has stated a complete strategy and direction. So he accepted Zheng Chenggong's strategy.

Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief, but then said again: "I agree with the strategy of the Qing family, but the Qing family must seize the time, must capture Lu Song before the Wei thief's navy is completed, and then return to attack the Wei thief. Otherwise, this plan will fail if the Wei thief's navy becomes [-]%!"

The key to Zheng Chenggong's plan is the critical time when the Wei army and water army form combat power.

Before that, the Nanming navy could cross the coast. After that, with Wei's national strength, once the navy has formed a combat force, the warships, artillery, and naval forces must be several times that of Nanming. If Nanming wants to plunder, he will risk his life. Dangerous.

This will be a turning point, so Zheng Chenggong must take Luzon before the Wei army's navy forms a combat force, and complete the raid on the coast of Wei State, and transfer a large number of people to Taiwan and Luzon Island.

Zheng Chenggong clasped his fists solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have sent scouts to Luzon, and the navy has been training for many days with the senior officers. I just wait for the scouts to find out the situation on the island, and I will attack Luzon immediately."
