The Ying Long army is getting stronger and stronger, and Dolgon even seems to have been able to see that if one day in the future, Zhu Ci and Ying Long's army will go on a northern expedition, and the Qing army will probably be wiped out like a chicken and a dog, even if the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry faces the muskets and artillery fire of the Ying Long army, they will also retreat and dare not face it.

What a shame it was, and the self-proclaimed eloquent Dolgon never wanted to see that day coming!

"I, Dolgon, will never admit defeat like this, Zhu Cijiao, we will be divided again, hehe, hahahaha!" Dorgon laughed a little maniacally, like a gambler on the verge of madness.

"Someone, spread the word that the three heavenly wolves have come to see this king!"

The wolf is a secret guard team secretly established by Dolgon, and is the descendant of his lineage, in addition to protecting his safety when he goes out, he will also be responsible for intelligence spying, the reason why Dolgon can strongly control the Manchu Qing in his hands, and suppress the little emperor Fulin and the four auxiliary Baylors, of which the wolf plays an extremely important role in it.

That night, Dolgon and the three heavenly wolves conspired for a full night, and the next day, people who were interested could feel that several important right-hand men around Dolgon had disappeared at once, and they didn't know where they went.

Quanzhou, Fujian, Zheng family!

For the storm that Da Ming had just set off, Zheng Zhilong's shock was no less than that of Dolgon.

Ying Longjun's strong performance also shocked Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui.

When I first heard about Ying Longjun's achievements, the two brothers Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui still didn't believe it, but after confirming it, Zheng Zhilong, a generation of heroes and the overlord of Nanyang, was really taken aback.

"The Ying Long Army seems to be even stronger than the legend, although those rebels are a group of rabble, but the 20,000 people of the Ying Long Army dare to attack the 300,000 army, which shows its strong combat effectiveness!"

"Hongkui, how do you say our Quanzhou army compares to it?" Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Hongkui and asked.

Zheng Hongkui shook his head and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, my Quanzhou army can't compare to it anyway, 20,000 Ying Long troops are at least worth our 60,000 Quanzhou army, and even in the face of Ying Long's muskets and cannons, the flesh and blood of the Quanzhou army is still difficult to fight!" ”

"Sixty thousand Quanzhou troops, even if you count the combined strength of our twentieth army and ninth army, it is not enough to fight with the twenty thousand Ying Long army, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has twelve thousand Ying Long army!" Zheng Zhilong sighed and said.

As early as when Zhu Ci reformed the military system, the Quanzhou Army was organized into the 20th Army of the Garrison Army, and its number was reduced from the original 30,000 to 20,000.

Although the Twentieth Army is less than 10,000 people, Zheng Zhilong is not dissatisfied with this, because the Ninth Army of the Standing Army is also established with the remaining 20,000 Quanzhou Army brought to Xuzhou by Zheng Sen as the backbone, theoretically speaking, the Ninth Army and the Twentieth Army are one family, although one is in the hands of Zheng Sen and the other is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, but in the end they are all Zheng family, so in Zheng Zhilong's heart, the Ninth Army and the Twentieth Army can be regarded as the Quanzhou Army of the year.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes were slightly gloomy.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong is undoubtedly an extremely ambitious person, and when the anti-army was the strongest, Zheng Zhilong even considered participating in it for a while, relying on the tens of thousands of Quanzhou troops in his hands and the huge amount of wealth accumulated over the years to do a bigger cause than Jinglu Nanyang.

If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Sen was sent to Yunnan by the emperor, and Zheng Sen's attitude of caring too much about Daming was also the side that made Zheng Zhilong hesitate, when all kinds of rebels in the world were rising, Zheng Zhilong would probably be the third largest force in the rebels after King Fu and King Lu.

Of course, now Zheng Zhilong doesn't dare to think about it, King Fu and King Lu and the rebels from all walks of life were defeated too quickly, which made Zheng Zhilong, a hero who was used to seeing big scenes, a little chilled.

"Big brother, Ying Long's army seems to be the latest flintlock musket of foreigners, you said that if we get this thing and arm the twentieth army and the ninth army, will we be able to fight against Ying Long's army?" Zheng Hongkui suddenly said on a whim.

In fact, the current foreigners have long developed flintlock muskets, and the Zheng family's sailors have dealt with the Dutch the most in Nanyang, and they have seen it in the hands of the Dutch, although the foreigners are very restricted, but with the strength of the Zheng family, there is still hope for a little flintlock pistol, so Zheng Hongkui was shocked by Ying Longjun's record before he had such an idea.

Zheng Zhilong paused for a moment, immediately shook his head and said: "It's still not good, when Ying Long's army cleared up all kinds of rebels, it also exposed another killer feature, a kind of field cannon that is not very heavy, and can follow Ying Long's army to quickly attack and fight, and the power is more powerful than the red-clothed cannon, as far as I know, the latest cannon of the foreigners is also inferior!" ”

"Yes." Zheng Hongkui was stunned, and he couldn't refute it, so he immediately sighed and said.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui were silent for a moment together.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Forget it, in short, our Zheng family is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, last year the emperor asked the sweet potatoes and potatoes purchased in Nanyang to be transported to Nanjing as soon as possible, and the emperor is afraid that he is waiting to promote planting!" ”

In fact, the batch of seeds that Zhu Ci asked Zheng Zhilong to buy, with the strength of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong bought them back a few months ago, but at that time, it was Zhu Ci who was cleaning the salt government and the coastal turmoil, Zheng Zhilong didn't know why he pressed it down first, and did not report it directly. Later, after a period of time, when he wanted to report again, he caught up with Zhu Ci to cancel the privileges of the Shi clan and limit the price of land lease.

Now that the rebels have been wiped out, Zheng Zhilong has lost those ambitions for a while, coupled with the deterrence of the strong combat effectiveness shown by Ying Longjun, Zheng Zhilong does not dare to have any ideas, I only hope that this batch of seeds will not be blamed by the current emperor because it was sent too late.

When Zhu Ci received Zheng Zhilong's recital, there was no expression of joy on his face. With the means of Jinyiwei's secret agent, Zhu Ci had long known that Zheng Zhilong had brought the seeds back a few months ago, as for why Zheng Zhilong had not been handed over until now, Zhu Ci could vaguely guess some of his thoughts.

"Zheng Zhilong didn't do anything to disappoint me." Zhu Ci smiled meaningfully.

"Zheng Sen is about to come back from Yunnan, it's time to prepare to solve the affairs of the Zheng family, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty should also be established!"
