Chang'an City, on the top floor of the castle tower, Gao Yihuan was wearing regular clothes, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at Chang'an City like a chessboard, but his thoughts were already far away.

This year is the second year of his reign as emperor, and many major events have been decided, but the world has not settled down.

At this time, although the Great Wei occupied Jiangnan, Zhu Cihong was not dead, and he had already arrived in Lingnan, which was still a big trouble for Gao Yihuan.

The remnant Ming forces were entrenched in Guangdong and Fujian, and the Wei army had not yet solved them, and the newly occupied land was not very peaceful, and there were rebellions from time to time.

Not long ago, a king of the Southern Ming Dynasty named Zhu Yihai launched a rebellion and occupied Zhoushan, and the Wei army was surrounded and suppressed, and he was beaten to the ground.

Previously, although the Wei army's naval division forcibly crossed the Yangtze River, the Wei army's naval division was only suitable for inland river operations, and once it entered the sea, it was difficult to solve even a single rebel.

In the southwest, the scholar Liang Yizhang quelled the Tusi rebellion in southern Sichuan, but Sun Kewang occupied the southwest and was always a threat to the Great Wei Dynasty, and there must be a war between the Great Wei and Sun Kewang.

The regimes born in China and the vassals influenced by the culture of the Central Plains all had the concept of Tianxia and the ambition to establish a unified dynasty.

This is the case with the Great Wei regime, and so is Sun Kewang, and there will inevitably be a long war between the two.

If anyone finds a flaw, they will inevitably send troops to fight, and if they find that they can't help the other party, they will definitely fight again after a truce of several years, or even decades, once they see the right time.

It's going to be a long game and the game will only end if one side wins outright.

At the beginning of June, soon after Sun Kewang retreated to the southwest, he officially proclaimed himself emperor in Thang Long, taking the name of the country as Zhou and the year name as Yanwu, in an attempt to compete with the Wei state politically.

In addition to the threat posed to the Great Wei by the Zhou regime that arose in the southwest, the Western Regions were not peaceful, and Jiang Xiang sent back news that Junggar had colluded with the Rakshasas, and that the fortress of Tsarist Russia had crossed the Ural River.

The Rakshasas expanded in Central Asia, while the Great Wei had limited investment in the Western Regions, and the Lesser Yuz Khanate was already under the control of the Rakshasas.

If Great Wei does not react for a long time, it will not be long before Great Wei's influence in the Western Regions will be replaced by the Rakshasas.

At this time, the nascent Great Wei regime still faced many challenges.

Gao Yihuan stared at the majestic Chang'an City for a while, and walked back to a huge map, at this time, the two biggest threats to the Great Wei have become the Zhou regime, as well as the northern Tsarist Russia, but Gao Yihuan does not plan to immediately shift his focus, his eyes are still on Liaodong and Nanming.

If Hao Ge and Zhu Cihong are not solved first, Gao Yihuan will not be easy and will start a war with Sun Kewang and Tsarist Russia.

Gao Yihuan stood in front of the map, lost his mind for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Spread my will, for those who belong to Jiangnan, the court must be gentle and appeased, and those who resist the general trend must be suppressed immediately." In addition, Shi Lang was promoted to a mighty general and transferred to the Zhejiang Navy Division to supervise the training of the Navy Division. ”

Mao Xiang, who was waiting on the side, was busy recording Gao Yihuan's order, and then saluted: "The minister will send the will to the cabinet!" ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, and then asked, "Is there any news coming back from outside the gate?" ”

Previously, Li Dingguo sent back news that Gao Yihuan had already read his battle plan, and he was very much in favor of Li Dingguo's strategy.

The threat from the southwest and northwest made Gao Yihuan eager to pacify Liaodong and southeast as soon as possible, and Li Dingguo's plan to lure Haoge out of Shenyang for a decisive battle would undoubtedly greatly shorten the time of the battle outside the Guan.

Counting the time, the decisive battle outside the gate should have begun.

If Li Dingguo won the battle and defeated Haoge, the main force of the Qing army outside the Guanwai was annihilated by the Wei army, and the Great Wei would be basically safe in the northeastern territory.

If Li Dingguo loses this battle, then the Wei army will be in trouble if it wants to solve the Qing army outside the Guan.

This will undoubtedly affect the timing of the shift of the Wei army's strategic center of gravity, and lose the best opportunity to start a war with Sun Kewang and Tsarist Russia.

The longer the Wei army was pinned down by the Qing army outside the Guan, the more difficult it would be to deal with these two enemies in the future.

Mao Xiang hurriedly said: "This minister doesn't know, but the news from Fujian has already arrived!" ”

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, "What about the news from Fujian?" How's it going? ”

Mao Xiang replied: "When the minister came, the news had just been sent to the cabinet, and there should be news in the palace later." According to the minister's preliminary understanding, it seems that Zheng Zhilong has surrendered, and most of the Zheng family in Fujian has surrendered, but Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui occupy the two prefectures of Zhangquan and the coastal islands, and continue to resist stubbornly. ”

This result was expected by Gao Yihuan, if the national surname surrendered easily, it would not be the national surname.

He walked quickly to the map, and set his eyes on Fujian, Zheng Sen occupied the two prefectures of Zhangquan, and there was no much threat to the Great Wei, but the combat power of the Wei army's naval division was low, and with the existence of such an opponent as Zheng Sen, it was impossible for the maritime trade of the Great Wei to be carried out smoothly.

Gao Yihuan frowned, and suddenly ordered: "Let the cabinet quickly bring the Fujian notebook!" ”

~~~~~~

Zheng Zhilong wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Sen wanted to stop it, but he couldn't do anything to Zheng Zhilong, so he could only deduct Qian Qianyi and raise him, a teacher, with good food and drink, intending to anger Dawei and make Gao Yihuan stop recruiting the Zheng family.

Who knew that Gao Yihuan was not angry, and continued to recruit Zheng Zhilong, and the conditions were not reduced, and Zheng Zhilong was named the Duke of Jinghai, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Cai were earls, so that most of the Zheng family surrendered to Wei.

At this time, Zheng Sen, Zheng Hongkui, Gan Hui and others took 20,000 soldiers and horses and 1,000 warships and entrenched themselves in Zhangquan and Zhangquan.

In the festival hall, Zheng Sen and his generals gathered together to discuss the current situation.

Zheng Hongkui said in a deep voice: "Wei general Zhao Daxian, the soldiers and horses have arrived in Fuzhou, it won't be long before he will inevitably enter Zhangquan, and our strength is probably difficult to defend!" ”

Zheng Sen had a gloomy face, "Now we don't have to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, the key is to preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity, if Zhangquan can't be defended, then we will be like Xiamen and other islands to transfer." ”

Gan Hui frowned and said: "Xiamen is just a big island, there are more than 20,000 of us, and then we bring our dependents, how will we live at that time." ”

Zheng Sen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, the maritime trade is very profitable, we control the maritime trade routes, and the profits obtained can be used to buy weapons in the Wa Kingdom and food in the South Seas, and supplies are not a problem." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to the chief to ask Hongmaoyi to pay this year's tax silver, and we will receive a sum of silver in a few days, and then I will ask people to go to Nanyang to buy grain from Zhou Jun." ”

When everyone heard Zheng Sen say this, their hearts were a little settled, as long as there was food, everyone was not panicked.

Zheng Sen was relieved to see that everyone was stable, but at this time, a general hurriedly broke in, clenched his fists and reported, "The surname of the country, Hongmaoyi has detained us!" ”
