On the 17th day of the lunar month, the weather was gloomy and cold.

With the defeat of the Zheng family's army, the Jingwu army, the Dingwu army, and the Tianxiong army have arrived in Quanzhou Mansion, and now the entire Zheng family, only the Zheng family defenders in Anping are still struggling to support.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, and there was no way to return to the sky, Zheng Zhilong had already left Anping City with his family at night, preparing to move his family to Dongfan.

However, the Jinghai fleet had already blocked the entire sea area of Quanzhou Prefecture, and even the Dutch sent a fleet to blockade the sea area around Penghu to prevent Zheng Zhilong from going to Dongfan.

Since the Battle of Luowan, the Zheng family's orders spread all over the southeast seas, and all foreign merchant ships that want to do business with the Ming Dynasty can only buy the Zheng family's flag and purchase goods from the Zheng family, a middleman, otherwise they will be seized and the goods will be confiscated.

The Dutch have long been fed up with the domineering of the Zheng family, if the Zheng family is as before, the Dutch may still be afraid and dare not send a ship to intercept it, but now the Zheng family, like a lost dog, the Dutch are naturally unwilling to let the dog return to the mountain and let them become tigers again.

"Oh no, Dashuai, the Jinghai fleet has blocked Quanzhou, and the red ghost has also blocked the sea area leading to Dongfan, we can't run away!"

Listening to the general's report, Zheng Zhilong, who was about to cross the sea, was suddenly dumbfounded, and he shouted: "Didn't I let the remaining sailors intercept the Jinghai fleet?" Why did it come all of a sudden? ”

The general said with a sad face: "Commander, the sailors did not move, and they didn't intercept it at all!" ”

Zheng Fusong on the side said angrily: "Father, you see, our Zheng family has a thief, and the fourth uncle has already taken refuge in the imperial court, and he wants to cut off our back road!" ”

"!" Zheng Zhilong was furious and shouted: "Order to break through, be sure to break through the blockade!" ”

Several warships and dozens of small boats escorting Zheng Zhilong continued to sail, attempting to break through the siege and go south, and then turn back to Dongfan.

Dozens of warships of the Jinghai Fleet gradually emerged in the sea fog and chased after them.

Shen Shouchong faintly saw the escaping Zheng family's fleet through the telescope, and said eagerly: "Catch up and sink them!" ”

"Order!"

More than a dozen clippers of the Jinghai fleet sped up desperately, catching up behind Zheng Zhilong's fleet, bombarding all the way.

When the Zheng family's fleet was dragged, the big ship immediately made up for it, and all the artillery was aimed at the rounds, and after the indiscriminate bombardment, I saw dozens of small boats of the Zheng family flying sideways in an instant, which was miserable.

Due to the sea fog and thick smoke, the whole process could not be witnessed very clearly on the big ship, and Shen Shouchong could only judge the progress of the battle through the constant sound of guns and cannons, and the sound of fighting.

The battle lasted for about an hour, until the horn cannon sounded rhythmically, and the generals Shen Shou Chong, who were anxiously waiting on the flagship, suddenly burst into cheers.

The sound of the cannon came, which meant that the battle was over, and the deputy commander-in-chief Huang Binqing sighed a little embarrassed, sighing that the world has changed over time, the past is gone, and the days when the Zheng family ruled the southeast coast and did whatever they wanted have become history.

When the prisoners were counted, Zheng Zhilong, who was seriously wounded, was escorted to the flagship and watched by the generals of the Jinghai Fleet.

Huang Binqing said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at him with a grin and snorted, "It turned out to be you kid, you are out now!" ”

Huang Binqing laughed and said: "I followed Mr. Zheng to fight the red ghost back then, and I still vaguely feel that I remember it vividly, and the past is unbearable, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this situation today." ”

"Hmph, the villain has a will!" Zheng Zhilong turned his head away and didn't look at him anymore.

Shen Shouchong waved his hand and said, "Okay, escort him down and prepare to land!" ”

Zheng Zhilong glanced at him like a puppet, and when he was escorted around, he was immediately annoyed and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't follow!" ”

Shen Shouchong ignored him and continued to order: "Order all the officers and men of the ship to go ashore to repair and celebrate the day, replenish some fresh water, and set off back to Nanjing in two days!" ”

......

When the three-way army gathered in Anping City, Zheng Hongkui personally led people to take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome Wang Shi into the city.

Facing Huang Degong, who was about to come over with a sword and cut people, Zheng Hongkui took out a letter with a smile and handed it to him.

Huang Degong looked at the back of the show, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be a kid or your own person?" ”

Zheng Hongkui said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Jingnan, please, the lower officials have prepared wine and food in the mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Huang Degong waved his hand and said, "No need, what about Zheng Zhilong?" I'm going to cut that guy! ”

Zheng Hongkui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Zheng Zhilong has been taken down and is locked up in the General Military Mansion. ”

Huang Degong raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll go over and cut him!" ”

Jingwu Army fought all the way, coinciding with continuous rain, many soldiers contracted dysentery, diarrhea did not stop, as the saying goes, a good man can't stand three splashes, even in the elite of the dragon and tiger was pulled half dead.

Huang Degong sprinkled all this resentment on Zheng Zhilong, and didn't want to kill him all the time.

At this moment, a herald came in a hurry: "Uncle, Nanjing Express!" ”

Looking at the red feather at the seal in a hurry, Huang Degong's face was solemn, he handed the sword in his hand to the guard, took the envelope and opened it.

The surrounding generals saw the red feathers at the seal of the fire paint, and they were also curious, there was a rule in the transmission of the Tianwu Army, and there were red feathers at the seal to indicate an alarm, and the green feathers were good news.

Previously, the crown prince's express delivery had rarely seen the use of red feathers, but when he saw it today, Huang Degong thought that his eyes were spent, and he was unsealing the seal while speculating about what was wrong.

Nanjing has the crown prince and the Tianwu army in charge, and the power of the nobles has been almost cleaned up, and there is little possibility of problems, and the situation between Huguang and Liangguang has also stabilized, and the possibility of problems is not great.

After reading the contents of the urgent delivery, Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the crown prince did not allow him to kill the Zheng family without authorization, and asked all of them to be sent to Nanjing to wait for disposal.

There is also Li Zicheng and other liukou going south, preparing to attack Fengyang Mansion, the crown prince ordered the Jingwu Army, Anwu Army, and Tianxiong Army to move to change their defenses and go north to Fengyang Mansion.

"What should I be, it turned out to be the Li thief who can only run away!"

Huang Degong despises Li Zicheng from the bottom of his heart, and in today's world, Li Zicheng is well-deserved to be the first in the world when it comes to escaping, which makes people despise him to the point of admiring him.

However, he also put his mind at ease, the Yangtze River moat is not a child's play, and with Li Zicheng's strength, wanting to go south to the land south of the Yangtze River is tantamount to a fool's dream.

What's more, north of the Yangtze River, there is Fengyang Mansion Gongwei, and there are 100,000 Tianwu troops stationed in Nanzhili, Li Zicheng wants to fight Jiangnan, which is no different from sending him to death.

Henan, where Li Zicheng is located, is bordered by Shangluo Mountain and Shaanxi to the east, Fengyang Mansion to the west, Shanxi and Beizhili to the north, and Yinghuo Mountains and the Yangtze River to the south.

The Chuang army wanted to go south to grab grain and territory, either attacking from Fengyang Mansion to capture the central capital Fengyang, or attacking from Chengtian Mansion in Huguang and taking Xiangyang.

There are many roads, but it is also difficult, Huguang Wuchang Mansion is garrisoned by Zhou Yuji's 50,000 Dingwu troops, which is not so easy to gnaw.

It's just that Huang Degong doesn't know, just with the Tianwu Army of Nanzhili, he can beat the army and shout dad and grandpa, why does the crown prince still want to transfer the Jingwu Army, the Anwu Army and the Tianxiong Army to the north?
