Chapter 972: Procrastination

It is not so easy to control the situation of the entire Fujian Navy Division, even if it is not counting the Chinese Navy Battalion brought out by Zheng Cai, the other Navy Divisions and Battalions, if they want to control it, they must make great efforts.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong's identity played a great role, after all, he was the young head of the Zheng family, and he occupied the righteousness, and Zheng Hongkui, who had a transcendent status, assisted him, which was a lot easier.

In one day, except for the more than ten diehards who insisted on following Zheng Zhilong, the rest of the generals were all willing to surrender, and the rest was to calm the hearts of the army.

After getting the Fujian Navy Master and unifying the opinions of the Zheng family, the rest is Zheng Cai who is alone outside, Zheng Cai is also a diehard loyalist of Zheng Zhilong, even Zheng En and others do not agree, then Zheng Cai will not agree even more.

Just two days later, as soon as the Fujian Navy Division settled down, Zheng Cai led the army back, and had already received the news of the Fuzhou incident, Zheng Cai was furious, what is it, others have not made Zheng Zhilong's rebellion, and the brother and son tossed it first, which one is this special singing?

Zheng Cai ordered someone to send a letter to Zheng Zhilong on the one hand, and on the other hand, he began to force Quanzhou, since Zheng Chenggong had controlled the situation in Fuzhou, it would be difficult to regain control even if he went back, so he had to occupy Quanzhou first and find a place to stay.

It's just that when Fuzhou has not fallen into the hands of Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhilong's army has already exchanged fire with the army of the imperial court, after all, this army has been on the march for more than half a month, and the Jingying army led by Cha Xuan and Zhao Zhenghang is facing each other, which is equivalent to marching nearly 100 miles a day.

Quzhou, only more than 900 miles away from Nanjing, has penetrated into the hinterland of Zhejiang Province, Zheng Zhilong led the army all the way to break through, his purpose is to create an opportunity for Azig in Huai'an Mansion to contain the Nanjing target is not abundant troops, obviously, he succeeded, all the way to the position of Quzhou, the more than 20,000 troops of Cha Zhu and Zhao Zhenghang, all of them attracted, and in his opinion, Cha Zhu is only 20,000 or 30,000 troops, but half of his own troops, far from his opponent, even if Cha Shu is a famous general of the imperial court, Zhu Jie's right-hand man, this time will definitely not be cheap, defeated Cha Xuan, and pushed forward again, if the whole of Zhejiang can be captured, in the face of the Manchurians in the future, there will be more bargaining chips, who doesn't want the territory they control to be bigger, who doesn't want their power to be as big as possible? Why should you be inferior to the Manchurians?

If there is a chance, Zheng Zhilong doesn't even mind overturning the Manchurians, but Zheng Zhilong has self-knowledge, just relying on his own strength, to defeat more than ten or two hundred thousand Manchurian elite horsemen, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, even if he defeats the Tianwei Army, he has no chance of winning!

Zheng Zhilong's wishful thinking played well, but that also had to check the bolt to give him a chance, Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng were powerful in the world, and the ability to check the bolt was not much better than the two of them, but it was too unlucky in the Central Plains, and I didn't expect that Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong at that time, suddenly turned back, and stabbed himself in the back at the most critical time, and lost Dongchang Mansion.

But this time on the expedition, Cha Zhu is completely full of energy, and he must fight a turnaround battle, otherwise, he will really not be able to raise his head in front of Qin Mufeng in the future.

What about twenty or thirty thousand? What if the quality of the soldiers in the Beijing camp is not strong? Can't stand the equipment of the Beijing camp, not to mention the 25,000 troops commanded by Zhu Jie himself, the Beijing battalion alone is the Beijing battalion, and now the equipment has surpassed the Tianwei Army, the army of 25,000 people is equipped with 500 flintlock muskets, 4,000 arquebuses, and at the same time there are 40 red-coated artillery, 40 red-coated artillery, you must know that there are more than 30,000 people in the fourth town of the entire Tianwei Army, and there are less than 30 artillery pieces, such a huge artillery equipment, plus abundant shells, In terms of equipment, it can already completely destroy all the armies of the same size in the Ming Dynasty, including the Tianwei Army and the Three Towns of Nanjing!

Even if the arquebus is behind the flintlock musket in terms of rate of fire, range and accuracy, but it is equipped with 4,000 in one breath, such a huge army of firearms is enough to ensure the absolute suppression of firepower on the battlefield, Fuzhou Town also has arquebuses, but the entire Fuzhou Town is only equipped with less than a thousand arquebuses, Fuzhou Town is not as unparalleled elite as the Manchurian Elite Cavalry and Tianwei Army, and the gap in combat power between the two sides is definitely not as big as Zheng Zhilong imagined.

The two armies soon met in a narrow way, and stopped at a distance of only ten miles, Zheng Zhilong was preparing for an attack, and he was also thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

"Lao Cha, what are we going to do? If you want me to say, rush up directly and attack, although we have few people, but we have so many artillery and muskets, what are we afraid of them to do? I believe that we can definitely win the battle! ”

Zhao Zhenghang is full of confidence, Jingying is what he practiced, and now Jingying has a few catties and taels, and he knows it very well.

"Brother, don't worry!"

Cha Xuan said in a deep voice: "Now is definitely not a good time for us to take the initiative to attack, you have to be clear, first, Zheng Zhilong used 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, twice as many troops as ours, surging over, morale must be high, on the contrary, we are all new soldiers who have not seen blood, once the war starts, there will definitely be a moment of panic, one is not as simple as you think; Second, although Fuzhou Town is not a world-shattering elite, but we are not leading the Tianwei Army and the three towns of Nanjing, the combat power is not strong, the war is open, we must not suffer a heavy setback, once frustrated, the army must be in turmoil, this is the new army is unavoidable, so at this time, we must avoid the enemy's edge, a word flip-flop! ”

"Drag? How to drag? Don't let your morale go down! ”

Zhao Zhenghang said urgently.

Cha Xuan smiled: "How come? What is going on in your Beijing camp, you don't know in your heart? At least, we have such a powerful firearm, we just need to stick to it, wear out the sharpness of Zheng Zhilong's army, blow it up, then decline, and exhaust it three times; Our offensive is that after the town of Fuzhou encountered our head-on attack, it was launched in an all-round way, understand? It's a fierce tiger, waiting for the opportunity, either don't move, as soon as you move, then you have to defeat the enemy with one move! ”
