Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Decision of Duoduo Nanjing

"Old ten." Azig was not as calm as Duoduo, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and said, "Is this Zhenjiang still given to the Zheng family?" ”

Zhenjiang is already very close to Nanjing, and almost all of them are the gateway to Nanjing.

Dodor said, "Why not?" ”

Azig said: "Looking at the Zheng family's children, show off their might. I couldn't hold my breath. ”

Duoduo said, "Starling, you better bear with it." If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. ”

What was Dord's plan?

It's easy to say, it is to put Zheng Chenggong in the next battle in Nanjing.

The reason why this is the case is also for a reason, the reason is that Duoduo has to admit one thing, that is, no matter how hard he tries, the Qing army's sailors do not have the strength to fight with the Zheng clan's sailors, and when fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the strength of the sailors is not as good as others, so they will be subject to many restrictions.

It's not that Duoduo doesn't want to fight Zheng Chenggong, let alone that he is afraid of Zheng Chenggong. But after weighing the pros and cons, he finally took Nanjing City down, no matter how many victories Zheng Chenggong had, he always had to attack Nanjing City. Perhaps in terms of the strength of the naval division, the Qing army is far inferior to the Zheng army.

But in the army, Duoduo didn't look at Zheng Chenggong at all.

No matter how many victories Zheng Chenggong had before, Duoduo was confident that he would let Zheng Chenggong return to the pre-liberation period in the first battle.

"Ten kings, what should Li Chengdong do?" Hong Chengchou said.

Dodor thought for a moment and said, "Just let him stabilize his position." ”

The reason why Hong Chengchou said this is itself a representative of his opinion.

Zheng Chenggong is here, it looks like a huge momentum, and all over the country wins the grain scene. But in fact, most of the counties affected by Zheng Chenggong were coastal counties, and the inland prefectures and counties were still able to maintain although there were some riots. Hong Chengchou didn't want to give up so many places.

Because of the land of Hong Chengchou, with the temperament of the Qing army, all the prefectures and counties that took refuge in Zheng Chenggong, after defeating Zheng Chenggong, one was counted as one, and there was no good fruit to eat. It is likely to face the slaughter of the city.

Hong Chengchou may still have a trace of conscience in his heart, wanting to kill less.

As for whether these discoveries of his conscience will be known, it is not clear.

Duoduo's order soon reached Li Chengdong's side.

Li Chengdong looked at Zhang Xianbi's camp in front of him, and sighed for a long time, he had a feeling that it was a day in the world and a thousand years in the world, he desperately wanted to capture Zhang Xianbi's camp, and Zhang Xianbi desperately defended it, and fought for more than ten days in a row, from Jinhua City to Zhang Xianbi's camp.

However, Zhang Xianbi's camp is not as good as Jinhua City.

Zhang Xianbi gritted his teeth and persevered.

Li Chengdong had already besieged Zhang Xianbi's camp, cutting off the waterway. That is, the materials from the state capital have been cut off.

As a result, there is a problem with Zhang Xianbi's materials.

Under the siege of Li Chengdong, Zhang Xianbi's material consumption was extremely large, and finally he had to restrict the use of gunpowder. From artillery bombardment, it has become a one-sided beating.

In Li Chengdong's view, this camp is almost within reach.

At this moment, Li Chengdong could only withdraw his troops.

At the very least, he must be in the front line, and some soldiers must be sent to maintain the stability of the prefectures and counties in the rear.

Faced with such a situation, Li Chengdong is no longer reconciled. I had no choice but to retreat.

So Li Chengdong's army returned to the north bank along the pontoon bridge on the Dongyang River.

In the face of Li Chengdong's retreat. Zhang Xianbi was a little unconvinced for a while.

At this moment, Zhang Xianbi was extremely embarrassed, with large stains on his armor. Countless emanations protruded from under the helmet. He said, "What's going on? ”

He immediately sent people out to investigate, and before he could send the people he sent came out, Chen Ding came.

Chen Ding told Zhang Xianbi everything about the outside. Finally, he said: "Now the king of Min refers to the world's response, General Zhang is a famous general in the world, but he succumbs here, it can be seen that King Zheng ---- General Zhang" He paused slightly, and his words were endless, and the meaning was endless. said: "King Min, you are thirsty for talent." How could General Zhang care? ”

When Zhang Xianbi heard this, his heart was slightly shaken, but then he snuffed out the little thought in his heart.

Zhang Xianbi is not Zhang Xuan's descendant, but Zhang Xuan treats the following at least above the bright side. There is no difference. For this, Zhang Xianbi is also a little grateful, he mixed in the Ming Dynasty, especially after Fu Zonglong's death, as a side line, how was he squeezed out, rations, and salaries were deducted. Fighting wars as cannon fodder, and so on.

Of course, this is not the most important place.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xianbi is not optimistic about Zheng Chenggong.

The battle of Chaozhou is not clear to others. Zhang Xianbi knew very well that this was also Zhang Xuan's habit, and Zhang Xuan was used to distributing some battle examples. There are all kinds of battles, some of them were fought by Zhang Xuan, some of them were not, Zheng Cai's battle against Chaozhou was a recorded battle.

He looked down on the combat strength of the Zheng Army.

The major events in the world will always fall on the war, and no matter how powerful the Zheng sailors are, they will not be able to go ashore.

However, Zhang Xianbi could not immediately refuse.

The reason is very simple, that is, because after Zhang Xianbi's first battle, he suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to replenish blood, and his contact with Jiangxi could not be connected for a while. So he needs Zheng's support.

Zhang Xianbi turned his head a few times and said, "Mr. Chen, I won't say anything false, you say it now, it's a little early." ”

Chen Ding said: "In that case, wait a few more days." ”

Chen Ding has also seen Zhang Xianbi's strength in the past few days, under the siege of Li Chengdong, Zhang Xianbi has resisted for more than ten days with a simple camp, and he is still standing. This kind of combat power is what most Zheng Jun can't do.

For the Zheng family, they also knew that the infantry army lacked combat power. They naturally have various solutions, such as the Zheng clan's only infantry army that can be called combat power, that is, Zheng Hongkui's department, has been expanded, and even Zheng Hongkui's power position has risen. For example, Zheng Chenggong organized and trained the new army.

Of course, seeking some experienced generals from abroad is also one of the solutions.

Therefore, Chen Ding wanted to recruit Zhang Xianbi, including Xu Jiaying.

The battle for Jinhua reached another stage. But it's not the end, because after Li Chengdong retreated, he didn't withdraw all the troops, I don't know if Li Chengdong was worried that after his whole army withdrew, the Xia army here in Jinhua City would follow and attack. Still unwilling to give up on Jinhua City.

Therefore, Du Yonghe and some of his men were still stationed outside Jinhua City, but the blockade in the south of Jinhua City was all abandoned.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong's envoy also came to Wuchang to meet Zhang Xuan.

The person who came was none other than Chen Ding's son, Chen Yonghua.

However, Chen Yonghua is not the famous Chen Jinnan in later generations, nor is he the mastermind of Zheng Chenggong and the master of Zheng Jing. He is as young as Zheng Chenggong, he has just been promoted by Zheng Chenggong, and he is just a servant of Zheng Chenggong. He was sent here, but it was just an errand. It's not an important mission.

Even Zhang Xuan didn't ask the name of the messenger, and he didn't know that the person who came to deliver the letter was the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society in the future.

Of course, knowing that Zhang Xuan can probably deal with it calmly, after all, he has seen too many historical celebrities, and he is used to it.

Zhang Xuan cut Zheng Chenggong's letter in front of Chen Yonghua, opened it, and saw that Zheng Chenggong was in the letter, inciting and agitating the general, and asked Zhang Xuan to send troops to Jiangnan.

However, how could Zhang Xuan be moved by such a small agitation, he smiled faintly, folded the letter in his hand, stuffed it into the envelope, put it on the table, and said: "Come on, bring the messenger in and settle it." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

Immediately, Zheng Lian took Chen Yonghua down.

"Congratulations, Your Highness." Zhang Zhen said: "So the army can move." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "That's true, but I still have to help Zheng Chenggong, and I can't let Zheng Chenggong think that I don't do anything, pass the order, the army assembles, and the news is revealed, saying that the army is gathering to go east, and let Zhou Fuchen come back." With a flotilla. ”

"Yes." Zhang Zhen said.

Zhang Xuan's order was carried out to the letter, and for a while, there were all kinds of rumors in Wuchang City. Almost everyone thought that the army was going to march eastward soon, and he joined forces with Zheng Chenggong to go to the south of the Yangtze River and join the city of Nanjing.

Chen Yonghua also heard the news and felt that his mission had been completed.
