Chapter 409: Wait and see
***
Ninghai is located between Xiangshan Port and Sanmen Bay on the east coast of Zhejiang, at the intersection of Tiantai Mountain and Simingshan Mountain Range, with Fenghua in the north and Taizhou in the south. It is a necessary place from Ningbo to Wenzhou.
Yuan Zongdi went south from Ningbo, followed by the capture of Fenghua and the capture of Qian Sufan, and then broke through Ninghai, and the troops pointed directly at Taizhou.
In this case, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was trapped in Taizhou and could not move, in this case, Zhu Yihai ignored the dissuasion of Zhang Huangyan and others, hurriedly went to the title of prison state, surrendered to Yuan Zongdi, and accepted the canonization of Qin.
At this point, Zhu Yihai, who had been chased by the Qing army and hid in the Zhoushan Islands, became the first descendant of the Zhu family to surrender to Qin with his subordinates.
Zhu Yihai's annexation is politically extremely beneficial to the Qin State, although he has not been a climate, but he has been supported by many people in eastern Zhejiang, and as the prince of the Ming Dynasty to the Qin State, this is tantamount to telling the world: Look, the descendants of the Zhu family have obediently returned to the Qin State, this is the general trend!
Militarily, it was also extremely beneficial to the Qin State, and the southbound passage from Ningbo to Wenzhou was completely opened, and the Qin army could approach the water dividing pass, causing greater pressure on Fujian.
Zheng Zhilong of Fujian felt more and more pressure, and he was already ready to let his fifth brother Zheng Zhibao lead the sailors to attack Taiwan, but at this time he ushered in two envoys, one was the Manchu envoy Shang Kai, and the other was the Qin envoy Gannan.
The Manchu envoy Shang Kai hoped that Zheng Zhilong would continue to fulfill the agreement he had reached with Hong Chengchou and send troops to attack the Qin army with Duoduo. For this reason, he not only brought a large amount of treasure, but also brought the holy decree of the Manchu emperor to canonize Zheng Zhilong as the king of Pingnan.
As long as Zheng Zhilong nods, he will be the king of Pingnan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
And Gannan arrived. Let Zhi Zhilong be a little embarrassed, Qin Mu's condition was to let him be the general army of Fujian, continue to control the army of Fujian, but hand over the administrative power of Fujian's prefectures and counties.
For Zheng Zhilong, whether it is the king of Pingnan or the general army of Fujian, it is just a title, in fact, there is not much difference. Tilting to the Qin State or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not who gave the official power, but who gained the upper hand in the war.
Now that both countries are interested in fighting for him, Zheng Zhilong immediately feels that he is a strange commodity again.
Thereupon. He suspended the attack on Taiwan. Prepare to wait and see for a while to see who has the upper hand between Duoduo and Qin Mu in the next battle.
This is a typical speculative mentality, and if you have a long-term vision, you will not do this. The practice of selling because of this waiting price. In fact, it will make both sides unhappy. In the future, once the winner is decided, no one will give him a good face in the future.
It would be wise to pick a side as soon as possible and plunge in. In this way, it seems to be a little sincere, and it is more valued. But Zheng Zhilong lacks such foresight, and he thinks he has a way out, so he chooses to wait and see for the time being.

Ma Liuliang is also watching, but what he is watching is not the general trend of the world, but the situation of Pingxi Weiguancheng.
To the north of Pingxi Weiguan City is the clear and jade-like dancing water, which flows from west to east to Yuanzhou. The south side is close to the mountain peak due to the limited terrain.
Ma Liu led a team of pro-soldiers, imitating Qin Mu's previous appearance, with one hand on his waist and a telescope in the other hand to look back and forth.
Wu Xiaoliu, a personal soldier, also came out of Huichang, and when he saw him imitating Qin Mu in a similar way, he couldn't help but smile and said, "General Ma, do you see clearly?" ”
Ma Liuliang snapped his mouth and replied: "See clearly, a girl is stripped naked, is"
"Really? It's true? Wu Xiaoliu's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab Ma Liuliang's telescopic lens, "Where is it?" Where is it? General Ma let me see."
"Look at your size, damn it, that's all you need." Ma Liuda was furious, kicked Wu Xiaoliu to the ground, and continued to raise the telescope to watch.
Wu Xiaoliu rolled in the grass a few times and got up, covering his forehead with one hand, his eyes bulging, as if he wanted to fly up to Guancheng to find the figure of the stripped girl.
The other dozens of soldiers leaned forward and backwards with laughter, not at all nervous about battle.
Ma Liuliang flew out with one foot again, kicked Wu Xiaoliu away again, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn Wu Xiaoliu, if you make a fool of Lao Tzu, I will let you swim back and forth in the river." ”
Wu Xiaoliu's face changed greatly, and he even begged for mercy, their horse head is an unkind lord, it really annoys him, and he will definitely let you go down the river.
If it was summer, Wu Xiaoliu would be happy to accept this punishment, but now it is a cold winter, although Huguang and Guizhou are not as cold as the north, it is not a pleasant thing to swim back and forth in the river at this time.
"General Ma, Ma Tou'er, it was you who said that some girls stripped naked"
"I know that you son of a bitch will want to be crooked, you see, the south of this Guancheng is next to the mountain peak, for us, isn't it just a girl stripped naked?"
The lonely peak in the south of Guancheng stands like a pillar, two hundred feet higher than Guancheng, the mountain falls straight down like a screen on all sides, only some dwarf pines and thorn bushes grow on the top, ordinary people want to climb up, it will be extremely difficult.
"General Ma, you mean to let the brothers climb up"
"It's just you, no one else, don't you want to see naked? Climb to the top of the peak, and Guancheng will be naked under your eyes, so that you can see enough! ”
"Don't don't, General Ma, this job is only capable of Hou San'er, I can't do it, General Ma, just spare me."
Seeing that Wu Xiaoliu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, Ma Liuliang was in a good mood, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and continued to scold: "I don't have the ability to see the girls strip naked, let's count the eggs yourself, get out!" ”
Ma Liuliang, the "mountain division", is absolutely first-class in terms of the ability to climb rocks and cross the wall, but this mountain peak is as vertical as a cut, up to 200 feet, and among his 3,000 people, except for Hou San, who is nicknamed "Thin Monkey", it is estimated that none of them can climb it with their bare hands.
"Let's go, go back to camp." Ma Liuliang took the lead and left, and walked away all at once.
Chen Guimin, the deputy commander of the Guizhou Metropolitan Command, stood on the Guancheng and watched Ma Liuliang come and go in a hurry, with a relaxed expression on his face.
When Ma Liuliang returned to the camp, the deputy general He Jinan was still directing the soldiers to set up camp, Ma Liuliang rode over and shouted: "Sons, stop, stop, don't camp, let's go into the city tonight to live, quickly, everyone change to build a ladder, a ladder." Hou San! Hou San! Give Lao Tzu out."
"Ma Tou'er, I'm here!" A small, thin, monkey-like soldier with a monkey's cheeks scarried over with his helmet in his hand.
When the military officer saw Ma Liuliang's troubled appearance, he hurriedly came up and asked: "General Ma, why did you order to stop camping, it's not early in the morning, and it's too late if you don't camp again." ”
"Sour Xiucai, didn't you hear what Ben General just said? Let's go into the city tonight and set up a fart camp? By the way, Sour Xiucai, see that Ben will fly to capture Pingxiwei, you had better write an obscene poem and report it to King Qin, haha! ”
"General Ma, how do you plan to capture this Guancheng, although this official can't interfere with your battle, but you first talk about the battle plan, this is total"
"What's the total? Don't worry about it this time, Hou San, if you see that mountain, climb it, I will give you the first credit. ”
"It's a little hard." Hou San replied as he looked at the mountain peak south of Guancheng.
"Damn, why am I looking for you? Lao Tzu has already climbed up by himself, you say bluntly, can you climb up? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Hou San hurriedly patted his chest, but he was too thin, and there were not many taels of flesh on his chest, which made people worry that he had broken his sternum.
"That's it, you can take a rest, come on, prepare half a catty of good wine and half a catty of meat for Ma San, let him eat and drink to his heart's content, if he can't climb up, Lao Tzu will slaughter him again."
"Ma Tou'er, half a catty of wine is not enough, I'm afraid that I won't have the strength to climb halfway through the halfway of the wine."
"Get out!" Ma Liuliang scolded majestically, and then asked people to prepare a long rope.
There is not just one, but three ropes to be prepared, one small, one medium, and one large.
After Hou San ate and drank enough, Ma Liuliang let him rest for a while, and then set off, around the side of the mountain, Hou San began to climb with the smallest rope, this guy is thin and small, frontal combat is not very useful, the reason why he can stay in the "mountain division" is because he has a unique skill of rock climbing.
This guy is as light as a swallow, his hands and feet are agile, and he can climb the mountain rocks that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, with the help of some small bumps and two sharp daggers.
Ma Liuliang and the others watched from the bottom of the mountain, and when they saw his thin body climbing higher and higher on the almost vertical rock wall, and his body was getting smaller and smaller, they couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats.
