"Spread the order, let the Tai Hospital immediately send someone to connect Tang Ruowang to the Tai Hospital, and at all costs, be sure to save him for me!"

Zhu Jie shouted.

Duan Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, let's put this matter aside for now, the minister has just received the flying pigeon transmission sent back from Fuzhou by the Ministry of Intelligence, Fujian is reborn and changed, Zheng Zhilong is ready to rebel......"

"Huh?"

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and looked at Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan continued: "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong has met many times with the envoys sent by Manchuria to discuss the rebellion, Manchuria promised Zheng Zhilong to be the king of Jingnan, hereditary replacement, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and the two provinces of Yongzhen and Fujian and Guangdong for generations, and at the same time was willing to sell Zheng Zhilong 8,000 war horses in exchange for Zheng Zhilong raising the flag to rebel, and now Zheng Zhilong has promised to be a vassal to Manchuria, and in a few days, he will send Fuzhou Town to attack Zhejiang or Jiangxi!" ”

Hiss......

Everyone present gasped, and Fuzhou Town poured out of the nest to attack Zhejiang or Jiangxi!

Regardless of whether it is Zhejiang or Jiangxi now, there is not enough strength to resist Zheng Zhilong's Fuzhou Town, Jiujiang Town in Jiangxi has just been defeated by Sun Chuanting not long ago, Jiujiang Town has not had time to rebuild, as for Zhejiang, now there is not even a military town, only some guards and soldiers, and it is even less of an opponent!

"Liu Sili, map!"

Liu Sili on the side hurriedly took the map and hung it on the wall next to him, and everyone gathered around.

"Lao Cha, if Zheng Zhilong sends troops, how do you think he will attack?"

Zhu Jie asked in a deep voice.

Cha Xuan replied without thinking: "It's very simple, Zheng Zhilong's dispatch of troops this time is to be able to put pressure on us, so that we dare not rush to Huai'an in the division of troops, and they will definitely do their best to advance towards Nanjing, from Fuzhou to Nanjing, you see this line, it is basically the border line between Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and the fastest speed is to advance towards Nanjing along this line!" ”

"Well, yes, the bowstring road, this is indeed the fastest, from Fuzhou to Nanjing, 1,600 or 700 miles, if you don't encounter any strong resistance on the way, it only takes two months to advance to the city of Nanjing......"

Zhu Jie replied lightly.

Li Yan on the side shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, according to the normal speed of the march, it does take two months, and if you add the time of the battle, it may even take three months, but what if Zheng Zhilong avoids the state capitals along the way and makes an urgent attack all the way to Nanjing?" I'm afraid that he will be able to cross Zhejiang and Jiangxi in half a month at most, and thus enter the territory of Nanzhili, and he will be able to reach the vicinity of Nanjing City in a month and a half at most, and he doesn't even have to worry about the supply of military rations all the way, and along the way, neither the garrisons of Jiangxi nor Zhejiang will pose the slightest threat to the army in Fuzhou Town......"

"From this point of view, this battle must be fought......

Zhu Jie muttered: "Zhenghang, if you are asked to make a move this time, how many troops do you need to be able to keep Zheng Zhilong's army out of Nanzhili?" I don't need you to blow the air, I want to be real, how many people do you need, you need to withstand Zheng Zhilong for at least a month and a half or even two months without backup......"

"This ......"

Zhao Zhenghang saw the emperor's solemn face, and knew that it was the most critical moment for the imperial court, and at this time there was no room for any falsehood, okay is okay, no is not good, once something goes wrong, the army will be defeated and fall second, if the Ming Dynasty collapses, he will be a sinner for the ages.

"Emperor Qi, the 50,000 Beijing battalions are all trained by the ministers, and the backbone of the army is also composed of firearms battalions, with the strength of the 50,000 Beijing battalions now, half of the troops in the hands of the ministers are enough to completely block Zheng Zhilong's Fuzhou Town to the south of Ningguo Mansion, so that they will definitely not be able to advance half a step within two months!"

Zhao Zhenghang gritted his teeth and replied.

Li Yan said: "General Zhao, you have to think clearly, in this operation, first, you may face a field battle, and you do not have the geographical advantage of defending the city; Second, Fuzhou Town has a strong army, no less than 40,000 people, if Zheng Zhilong temporarily expands the army, or replenishes his own private army, the strength may even be as high as 60,000 or even more, you only have 25,000 people, are you really sure of this? ”

This one......

Zhao Zhenghang hesitated for a while, he didn't think much about this, he thought about the expansion of the army in Fuzhou Town, but he ignored it mainly for field warfare......

Li Yan continued: "Also, since the Manchurians have promised to provide Zheng Zhilong with war horses, it is very likely that they will provide war horses to Zheng Zhilong in the shortest half a month, after all, at this time, the Manchurians will continue to help, and they will not spare these horses, Zheng Zhilong only needs to send a fleet to Tianjin Wei, twenty days back and forth is enough, and you even have to face Zheng Zhilong's newly formed cavalry, even the weakest cavalry......"

Cavalry is the most terrifying, although Zhao Zhenghang is also a talent, but his biggest experience in the past two years is on training, charging into battle, commanding troops, and it may not be his strength, after all, before that, he was just a guerrilla or a general, leading the army to fight independently, and the experience of being alone is still lacking, even Song Jiaxing has paid tuition on the battlefield because of the lack of two or three years of battlefield experience, let alone him?

Zhu Jie sighed and said: "Forget it, this battle is very important, there is no room for mistakes, Lao Cha, you can go in person, 25,000 troops, and then transfer 200 elite forces from the Ministry of Intelligence to you to act as your eyes and ears, from now on, you must resist Zheng Zhilong in the south for the imperial court for at least three months, how about it?" Do you dare to make a military writ? ”

Cha Zhu was overjoyed, wiped it, the emperor finally showed kindness, he thought that he had lost his chance with the unified army again, but Zhao Zhenghang was inexperienced, otherwise it would not be his turn again!

"Dare, of course I dare!"

Cha Bolt shouted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I dare to make a military order......"

Zhao Zhenghang was about to cry, wiped it, and finally the emperor gave him a chance, just because he hesitated, he was about to slip away, what a deal, no, he had to snatch it back!

"Okay, Zhenghang, you can be honest and look after the house, I'm leaving, there will be no one in the military department, hehe......"

Cha Shu laughed.

"Dreaming, checking the bolt, what about your dog's dream, running Lao Tzu here to pry it?"

Zhao Zhenghang was furious, and even foul words came out.

"Okay, don't fight, Zhenghang, this expedition, with Cha Shu as the main commander, you will assist, after all, your experience in the army is too little, we can't tolerate half a bit of difference, learn by Cha Shu's side, and you will personally lead the troops in the next battle!"

Zhao Zhenghang grimaced.

Zhu Jie took a deep breath, and then said: "Brother Li Yan, this time is going to be hard for you alone, Lao Cha is going south, I can only drive in person this time, and go to meet this Azig for a while!" ”
