Three days after the retreat of the Min army from Jin and Xiamen, the Qing army landed on the land of Xiamen. Thanks to Huang Wu's blessing, the Qing court burned down its own shipyards and ships, and Fujian, as the hardest-hit area, now does not even have enough training ships for the Green Camp Naval Division, let alone warships. In Deng Ming's previous life, because Zheng Zhanxu and Chen Python and others directly surrendered to Huang Wu, the Qing army had the capital to land and threaten Xiamen, and now Huang Wu only has those scattered defectors who defected to the past Fujian army, and the sampans were all captured, so it was not until Zheng Jing had retreated to the emptiness that Quanzhou realized that something was wrong. After a heated debate about whether the Min had fled or were trying to lure the enemy, Huang Wu and Shi Lang sent the first sampan, then the second......

Ten days after Zheng Jing evacuated Xiamen, Huang Wu and Shi Lang, the initiators of the sea ban, set foot side by side in the port of Xiamen.

Although the ban on the sea caused Zheng Chenggong some trouble, as far as Deng Ming knew, at least before Zheng Chenggong's death, the Min army was still far from being able to open the pot. And in order to counteract the sea ban, Zheng Chenggong began to buy local officials and officials to assist in smuggling, and there is no doubt that his income has declined, but can the Fujian army starve to death just by relying on the sea ban? Deng Ming was very skeptical of this.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a ban on the sea, and in order to crack down on the rest of Fang Guozhen, the Ming court was equally strict with the relocation of the population of overseas islands, which was full of blood and tears of the people. Among them, the merit and crime of Deng Ming are not good and the surrounding Ming Dynasty civil and military forces are deeply investigated, but the Ming court has never neglected the construction of the water division, and it is only aimed at a small number of islands that are difficult to control, not the entire coastline; Later, the Ming court's policy of not allowing people to go to the sea was more like a state act similar to the monopoly of salt and iron, rather than serving the military.

It is difficult to assess the damage caused to the surface power of the Qing court by self-destructing sailors, banning fishing and salt, and even Shandong Province, which had no precedent in the Qing court, and in addition to the devastation of life in the coastal areas, the Qing court itself suffered severe losses because of this move - the loss of taxes in the forbidden sea area alone was astronomical.

"Zheng Yi destroyed everything when he fled." Shi Lang walked around Xiamen, and this time because there was no threat of the surrender of the brigade taken by Zheng Zhanxu, Zheng Jing retreated relatively calmly, and completely destroyed the shipbuilders, warehouses, and ports in Xiamen. After inspecting the facilities in Xiamen, Shi Lang concluded that he would not threaten Penghu for several decades -- in Deng Ming's previous life, Shi Lang attacked Penghu with the surrender of troops and ships from the defective Fujian army, and there were also many Geng Domain's ships, many of which were produced by the undamaged shipyard in Xiamen.

Shi Lang didn't have much dissatisfaction with Huang Wu's ban on the sea at first, although this may cause damage to the Qing court, but the advantage is that there is no sailor and shipbuilding capacity, and the court will not force the two of them to fight Zheng Chenggong - the last time I heard that Zheng Chenggong was defeated in Nanjing, Shi Lang and Huang Wu mustered up the courage to take advantage, but I didn't expect Zheng Chenggong, who had just suffered a fiasco and the morale of the army was at its lowest, to be so powerful, and it was an unprecedented fiasco-after Huang Wu and Shi Lang discussed, This time, with Dasu, a close friend of Aobai, in front, the court will not chase the responsibility of defeat, but next time there may not be such a good opportunity.

"Who would have thought that Zheng Chenggong would die so early." Now mentioning this matter, Huang Wu also regrets a little, after the victory of Xiamen, Huang Wu and Shi Lang both estimate that in another two or three years, the imperial court may heal the scars and forget the pain, forcing them to attack Xiamen again. Even if the attention of the imperial court was attracted by Deng Ming, it is estimated that Zheng Chenggong will attack Nanjing or Guangzhou again in a few years, and the imperial court was shocked, and then noticed that Fujian green nutrition should be used for a long time.

If the imperial court pushes them to fight Zheng Chenggong because of shock or confidence, Shi Lang and Huang Wu estimate that even if they don't die on the battlefield, they will have to be killed by the imperial court, so don't say anything, let's destroy all the sailors of the imperial court first. Huang Wu and Shi Lang, who had taken precautions, not only destroyed the ships, but also burned down the shipyards and abandoned the fishing industry, so that even if the imperial court wanted to rebuild the sailors in the future, there would be no shipbuilding and no place to recruit sailors. If we have to start from scratch and spend a huge amount of money on the military, it is estimated that Beijing will definitely argue endlessly, and there will be no result in decades of quarrel.

As for the closure of the territory and the forbidden sea, Shi Lang and Huang Wu are not the uninformed Manchurians in Beijing, this trick will definitely not trap the country's surname, but it can still be done to greatly reduce the income of the Zheng family, so that the recovery speed of the Fujian army will be much slower. After decades of hard work, Huang Wu and Shi Lang both died on the hospital bed with a smile, so who do you love about Haijiang.

didn't expect the two of them to be alive and kicking around, and the young and powerful national master left first, although Huang Wu didn't have the confidence to deal with Zheng Chenggong, but he still had the courage to compare with the fledgling Zheng Jing.

"If we don't burn all the sailors of the five provinces, if Zheng Zan Xu and they all come to us, this Penghu seems to be able to fight." The more Huang Wu thought about it, the more heartache he felt, although Zheng Jing is still young, but Taiwan has fishermen and shipping, and in ten or eight years, a new generation of sailors will grow up; As for the ban on the sea on the mainland, even in another 180 years, the navy will not want to appear out of thin air.

"And burned down all the shipyards." Shi Lang is also depressed, when Huang Wu proposed the ban on the sea, Shi Lang also helped to wave the flag and shout, saying that this is a good strategy to trap Zheng Chenggong, and now it has been promulgated throughout the country, and the resistance of the people in the coastal areas has been suppressed by bloody massacres, and now we can't overturn it as soon as Zheng Chenggong is dead, and said to the imperial court: At the beginning, I advocated burning the ship because I was afraid that you would let me go to sea to fight the country's surname, and now that the country's surname is dead, I have the confidence to go to sea to fight his young son, so let's rebuild the shipyard, Build some boats and give me merit.

"Either way, it's still a big deal." Huang Wu and Shi Lang put away the idea of bullying young people, and decided to go back and show their merits to the court with Li Shutai, no matter what, they recovered Kinmen and Xiamen, which can prove that the court did not recruit them in vain.

……

Zheng Jing, who retreated, naturally would not be in the mood to report this matter to Zhoushan in time, and now Zheng Jun's perception of Zhang Huangyan is also very subtle; However, the Min capital Li Shutai and the vassal king Geng Jimao were completely different, and the expulsion of the Ming army from the near shore was a great achievement.

After learning of Zheng Chenggong's death last time, Geng Jimao, Li Shutai, Huang Wu, and Shi Lang jointly played a joint performance to show their merits: Geng Jimao died two years after moving to Fujian, which of course shows that he is famous, and in Geng Jimao's opinion, Zheng Chenggong died of fear; Li Shutai's statement is that he manages the army well, so that Zheng Chenggong has no gaps; And Huang Wu's statement is that his ban on the sea is insidious and vicious, which made Zheng Chenggong turn white overnight, and finally died of depression. Even Wu Liuqi of Guangdong had to mix it up, saying that he was able to ban the sea, and he dutifully extended the forbidden sea area of Guangdong to dozens of miles, and destroyed the ships of Guangdong more seriously, even the sampan of the Guangdong sailors themselves, and the rebellious people in Guangdong couldn't do it even if they wanted to go to Zheng Chenggong with a wooden barrel, so that Zheng Chenggong was completely unable to come to Guangdong to recruit troops and collect food, which dealt a decisive blow to his depressed mood.

After the recovery of Jin and Xiamen, Li Shutai, Geng Jimao, Huang Wu, and Shi Lang vied with each other to boast of the tremendous role they had played, and hurriedly reported the good news to the Qing court, saying that the Ming army along the coast had fled to the barren land overseas, and the Qing court could concentrate its efforts on dealing with Deng Ming in the Yangtze River valley.

These good news were sent to Beijing at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and they were still public good news and not suitable for secret performance, when passing through Nanjing, the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang sent a copy to the subordinate prefectures and counties of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, and soon one of them was placed on the desk of Deng Ming, who was located outside Zhenjiang City.

When the report was delivered, Deng Ming was entertaining Zhang Dai, a famous man highly recommended by Zhang Huangyan, for dinner, and Shangshu of the Ming Military Department was also present to accompany him. After hurriedly reading this public good news, Deng Ming handed it to Zhang Huangyan, and seeing that Zhang Dai had a curious look on his face, Deng Ming told the other party the content of the good news without thinking - although Zhang Dai did not ask for anything, Deng Ming felt that this kind of news was completely unnecessary, and it would soon spread throughout Jiangnan.

"These rats are desperately boasting about their exploits in the recital for Beijing," Deng Ming sneered, and after Zheng Chenggong died, he also saw the faces of Huang Wu, Shi Lang, and Wu Liuqi boasting about their merits: "After getting these thieves, they even saved their confessions, and directly threw the recital they wrote in their faces, and then slaughtered the memorial country's surname." ”

"The Admiral said it right!" Several senior generals of the Sichuan army were also present, and Mu Tan was the first to applaud loudly.

"But what if they also paid for war bonds?" Ren Tang asked slowly, originally Deng Ming wanted to leave him in Sichuan, but he claimed that he had a good relationship with the Liangjiang scholars, and finally persuaded Deng Ming to bring him with him.

Zhang Dai was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had just entered the barracks, and he only had a general understanding of Deng Ming and his subordinates, and he also heard about the war debt from Zhang Huangyan: "Is this sarcasm?" Zhang Dai had a question in his heart, but in his opinion, this was unlikely, although Jiangnan scholars had a bad impression of this Guogong, but even so, no one would make such a disrespectful remark in front of him: "It should be just an unintentional sentence," Zhang Dai quickly defined Ren Tang's speech in his heart: "Young man, I still don't understand that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional." ”

"What about the son of Yanpei? This time Jin and Xiamen were lost, in fact, the greatest credit to the Qing court should be the prince of Yanping, right? Zhou Kaihuang's mouth was stuffed with food, just now Deng Ming, Ren Tang, Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Dai were talking and laughing, Zhao Tianba and Mu Tan were also smiling politely, and Zhou Kaihuang had been busy picking out good dishes. Now that the discussion is about military affairs, Zhou Kaihuang finally found the topic he is interested in, and his heart is now full of contempt for Zhao Tianba and Mu Tan, because he knows that these two people actually can't understand the Confucian topics that Zhang Dai told, of course, there is another one who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, Zhou Kaihuang thought of this and glanced at Bao Guogong - although we don't understand what Mr. Zhang said, but who can't understand it like us, we can still see it.

"The prince of Yanping is still too young," although Deng Ming agreed with Zhou Kaihuang's opinion, the fundamental difference between Zheng Jing and Huang Wu, Shi Lang, and Wu Liuqi is that one side is his own person, and the other side is not, just like Jiang Guozhu is capable, and the value in Deng Ming's mind cannot be compared with his young companions: "He will regret it in the future, and the spirit of the king of Yanping County in the sky, when he sees that the prince of Yanping has a future, he will also be angry." ”

"When Tan Yi and Tan Hong rebelled, the admiral was as big as the prince of Yanping, right?" Mu Tan said.

"Hehe, it's different." Deng Ming hurriedly humbled himself, but his heart suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhang Dai observed his words and looks, and his good impression of Deng Ming went up to a level, obviously this young man is not deep in the city, although his subordinates are a little flattering in person, but which official's subordinates are not openly sycophants? And such a compliment can make Deng Ming show obvious joy, which shows that he is still a person who is more strict with himself, and ordinary officials have long been immune to this kind of Cheng Dù's sycophancy.

"Who said that?" Ren Tang immediately retorted: "Admiral Deng was twenty years old at the time, and Yanping Shizi was only nineteen when he supervised Jin and Xia, obviously one year older than others!" And fleeing for his life with 2,000 remnants of the defeated army, can it be compared to commanding an army of 100,000? Let Admiral Deng try it, maybe it is not as good as the prince of Yanping, and if the prince of Yanping is replaced to deal with Tan Yi, it may not be worse than Admiral Deng. ”

"Uh-huh." Deng Ming's good mood was half dispersed by Ren Tang, but he was embarrassed to argue: "Brother Ren is right. ”

"No," Zhou Kaihuang knew that Ren Tang liked to raise the bar, and after coming to Sichuan, because Deng Ming had no rules, this temperament was even more free to develop, but Zhou Kaihuang, as a first-hand witness, still couldn't help but distinguish Deng Ming: "The admiral personally went to lure the enemy, this courage is still very remarkable." ”

"Hey, isn't it obvious that Zhao Tianba shot an arrow?" Seeing that someone actually started to raise the bar with him, Ren Tang was overjoyed and immediately forgot that this was Zhang Dai's reception: "And I remember very clearly, you said that the admiral ran less than two miles at that time, and he was so tired that he was about to faint, Zhao Tianba retreated from the enemy while shooting arrows, and he had to drag the admiral to run, and he almost didn't run back." ”

"I didn't say I almost couldn't get back." Zhou Kaihuang's face turned red, in fact, he said that in order to describe the thrill of the situation at that time, Zhou Kaihuang was okay to add oil and vinegar, but although it was enjoyable to say at that time, it was a little uncomfortable to be mentioned by Ren Tang in front of Deng Ming.

"You said it!" Ren Tang put the chopsticks on the table, compared a finger slit, and held them high for everyone to see: "...... You said that the chasing soldiers behind were still so far from the Admiral, the Admiral was so tired that he couldn't move on the ground, thanks to Zhao Tianba's bravery, he reached out and dragged the Admiral after shooting an arrow, and at that time I saw you as anxious, but the military order was in my body, although I was anxious, I just couldn't go out to help Zhao Tianba. But it is precisely because you are in danger that you can finally annihilate Tan Hong's army......"

"I wasn't strong enough, but I didn't get to this point, did I?" Deng Ming said a little angrily, he was very sure that this was said by Zhou Kaihuang, and many jokes with the same comments had Zhou Kaihuang's unique style characteristics: "And you were obviously hiding a few miles away at the time, how could you see what happened to Li Xinghan?" Didn't you hear all about it later? ”

"So you didn't see it?" Mu Tan stared at Zhou Kaihuang with blazing eyes, this story was told by Zhou Kaihuang to him and Ren Tang: "Then what you and the two of us said is so true." ”

"The Admiral's words are deceitful." Zhou Kaihuang felt that his face had been cut, and retorted loudly: "Admiral, how do you know that I didn't see it with my own eyes, where is my eyesight good, what is it a few miles away?" I'm in the mountains. ”

"It's in the woods in the mountains." When Zhou Kaihuang described his martial arts just now, Zhao Tianba listened very happily with a smile, and now he felt the need to come out to help Deng Ming say a fair word.

"That's also on the mountain!" Although Zhao Tianba's tone was very tactful, Zhou Kaihuang saw that the suspicion in Mu Tan and Ren Tang's eyes was even heavier, and he had to rise up to defend his dignity and reputation, and his voice became louder and louder: "The riverside is unobstructed!" ”

"Nonsense!" Deng Ming could not tolerate this kind of unscrupulous slander against himself: "If you can see the clear road, you fell several times when you came down from the mountain - by the way, I almost forgot, it was night!" It's dark, what can you see? Tricksters. ”
