Chapter 620: Glory Deserved
"My lord, the front is Yanping Mansion, according to the Jinyi Wei report, almost all the Zheng family's troops are gathered in the five state capitals of Funing, Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou.
Yanping Mansion is adjacent to Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou, during which there are many secret agents of the Zheng family, even the Yanping prefect was bought by the Zheng family, and the vanguard of the southwest governor, Pingnan Bo Qin Yiming, was almost hit, and he had to be guarded against. Chang Yu rode on the horse and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I forgot the truth that money can make grinding ghosts, this Zheng family is really rich, Lord Han, believe it or not, even in the DPRK, it is estimated that there are many ministers in the DPRK who can't stand the attack of sugar-coated shells."
Liu Hong gradually looked at the wall of Yanping City in the distance, and turned back to Han Yuhan, the second assistant of the cabinet who was still worried that he would suffer a loss and had to continue to follow the large army to the south.
"People are terrible, adults should be cautious, be cautious!" It is a big crime to slander the important ministers of the country in front of everyone, Han Yu shuddered and admonished.
Even if what Liu Hongjian said is not impossible, it can't be said nonsense without real evidence!
"Hahaha, let's go, go into the city!" Liu Hong gradually snorted.
In later generations, Liu Hongjian was also quick to speak, and now he is really dead when he thinks about it, could it be that he is inflated?
When they arrived at the city of Yanping, three middle-aged men in armor walked from under the city.
"The last general Qin Yiming/Qin Gongming/Qin Zuoming knocks to see the prince!" Qin Liangyu's three nephews walked to Liu Hong's horse, and each bowed down.
"The three generals, please get up, I heard that the old general Qin Liangyu is sick, I don't know if he is better now?" Liu Hong gradually dismounted and helped the three descendants of the Qin family up.
Especially Qin Gongming, when Liu Hong gradually reached out to grab his left arm, he found that it was empty, and he had to pat him on the shoulder while frowning.
"Back to the prince, my aunt is old, I'm afraid it's ...... It won't last long. Qin Yiming sighed, his eyes were very sad.
It stands to reason that Qin Yiming should call Qin Liangyu with a military title at this time, but the Qin family was originally the king of Anguo County, and in Qin Yiming's eyes, Liu Hongjian was the benefactor of the Qin family and his own person.
In front of Liu Hongji, Qin Yiming replied with his aunt.
"The old general Qin, as a female streamer, has fought bloodily for the Ming Dynasty for 50 years, and has gone through hundreds of battles and battles. Liu Hong gradually sighed and said.
After the last struggle of the Ming Dynasty, how many loyal and courageous generals passed away, Sun Chengzong, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting......
Although these people Liu Hongjian have never seen them, their deeds have already spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to Huang Degong, the veteran who is still alive is Qin Liangyu, the governor of the southwest, Lao Huang is still good but he is still in his fifties, but Qin Liangyu is seventy and three this year.
Alas! Liu Honggradually sighed in his heart.
"Thank you for your love, and my aunt often talks about you at home! said that the prince has the grace of knowing my Qin family, and the Qin family can lead the army and be loyal to the court thanks to the promotion of the prince. ”
Qin Zuoming is the youngest but very lively, and he praised both sides very appropriately.
"That's the glory that the old general Qin deserves, this king is just talking about it, not enough to worry about, I heard that the vanguard troops almost caught the way of the Yanping prefect, and tell this king what is going on."
Liu Hong gradually didn't want to mention the old things, and walked towards the old road of the Qin family while walking towards the city.
It turned out that three days ago, Qin Zuoming, the third elder of the Qin family, took the lead in rushing to this Yanping City with 10,000 vanguard troops, and Mei Youqian, the prefect of Yanping, naturally opened the city gate to greet him, and promised that all the grain and grass needed would be allocated from the Yanping Mansion Treasury.
That night, Mei Youqian feasted Qin Zuoming in the government office, and even the 10,000 Sichuan troops had a share, Qin Zuoming sighed at the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, but also felt strange about Mei Youqian's generosity.
But it was not good for people to warm up Qin Zuoming, or Mei Youqian's strange eyes when he was drinking, made him suspicious, and the wine did not reach his mouth after all.
"That Mei Youqian is now locked in prison by the last general, and he has been interrogated, and he was instructed by the Zheng family." Qin Zuoming said.
Thinking of the situation that night, Qin Zuoming sweated in his heart, the rice and grain provided by Yanping Mansion were mixed with a large amount of drugs, if it wasn't for the timely discovery, his vanguard army would probably have become lambs to be slaughtered.
"This is a poor fear in his previous life, but his father doesn't seem to know how to choose a name." Liu Hongjian didn't care if his subordinates could understand the joke.
"Don't care about this Yanping, the whole army will immediately follow this king and take Quanzhou directly!" As soon as he entered the city, Liu Hong gradually said to the three brothers of the Qin family behind him.
The Zheng family in the city searched for its own brocade guards, and the Zheng family industry in Fujian Province had its own garrison of Shi Kefa to sweep it.
He has only one task, to give the unconvinced Lao Zheng Thunder a blow at the speed of lightning, and the naval battle may not be possible, but on this land, or the realm of the Ming Dynasty, he has not been afraid of anyone!
The five major commercial banks of Zhengjia's inland Renyili, Li, Zhixin are running at almost full capacity, and they want to return the industries, shops, and goods scattered all over the south of the Yangtze River.
However, Liu Hongji's intelligence network was rolled out long ago, and it only took three days to cut off the Zheng family's communication lines from various parts of Fujian Province to Quanzhou Prefecture.
Although Zheng Zhilong knew that the inland industry was estimated to suffer heavy losses after refusing to surrender, he didn't expect Liu Hongji's speed to be so fast.
Due to the urgency of time, he only had time to bring the core backbone of the five major commercial houses and the silver two soft back to Quanzhou in three days, and most of the shops and inventories of the five major commercial houses were cheaper, and Shi Kefa, who was sweeping behind him.
In only four days, Liu Hong gradually broke through the momentum, leading an army of 50,000 to break through the Tiger and Leopard Pass first, then Yongchun County, and then Anxi and Nan'an.
On November 20, Liu Hongji's army approached the Quanzhou Mansion, and at this time, the elite 25,000 troops of the Zheng family army commanded by Zheng Zhibao, the fourth elder of the Zheng family, had been waiting in Quanzhou City for a long time.
Zheng Zhibao stood at the head of Quanzhou City and looked into the distance.
The reason why Liu Hong was able to break through several cities in four days was because the Zheng family did not allocate many troops outside Quanzhou City at all, but they were just some old and weak people who ate mixed food.
There are 25,000 troops in Quanzhou City, all of whom are good at the southern and northern wars transferred from Luzon, and the firearms equipped are the new equipment developed by the Zheng family according to the Dutch standard armament.
Five days! He needed to hold on to Quanzhou City for five days to be able to prepare, but when he thought of the fate he would face in five days, Zheng Zhibao was unhappy.
"Lord Qiqi, the Ming army is still five miles away from Quanzhou, and it will arrive at the city of Quanzhou in two quarters of an hour." A sentry came to report.
"Got it, probe again!" Zheng Zhibao shook off the thoughts in his heart and commanded.
It is this king of Anguo County who has ruined my Zheng family's hard work for many years, this time I don't teach this guy to taste the power of my Zheng family's artillery, Zheng Zhibao clenched his fists and stared at the heart of the Ming army who was getting closer and closer.
Two quarters of an hour later, the 50,000 troops of the Sichuan army lined up in a neat queue and lined up 500 paces away from Quanzhou City.
"All of them, ready to meet the enemy! The gunners calibrate their bearings and wait for the order of this staff officer! ”
