Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 693 Too Much Authority
Inside the Chongzheng Hall, there was a burst of turmoil. Duoduo was over-stimulated and couldn't stay here any longer, so he was carried down.

As a result, the Chongzheng Hall became quiet again.

At this time, whether it was Dorgon or Daishan, they all looked at Hong Chengchou, thinking in their hearts that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to take Hong Chengchou's life!
The things that Zheng Zhilong sent, Dorgon's side is not poisonous, Daishan's side is also not poisonous, only Hong Chengchou's gift is poisonous!

It can be seen from this that in the eyes of the Ming emperor, this Hong Chengchou is more afraid than both of them?Or resentment?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but pay more attention to Hong Chengchou.

And Hong Chengchou himself, after understanding the situation, couldn't help being a little afraid.Unexpectedly, as far away as Liaodong, the Emperor Chongzhen wanted to put him to death. If the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the future, then he would really have no good results!

Thinking of this, he thought about the current situation, first came back to his senses, and immediately said to Dorgon: "Master, judging from the current situation, the slave thinks that the Ming Kingdom cannot be allowed to attack us step by step. The country's offensive will definitely be very fierce. It is better to unite with the Wa country to wipe out the Ming army in Dongjiang Town first. It is best to eliminate Zheng Zhilong's navy, and then use the Wa country's navy to attack the coast of the Ming country, forcing the Ming country not to hoard heavy troops in Guan. Ning line."

After a pause, he then added: "The Qing side must fight back against Ming's actions on the grassland, and threaten the Ming's Great Wall, forcing Ming to also divide its troops to garrison the long Great Wall."

Dorgon also had brains, thinking about the actions of the Ming Kingdom, finally nodded and said: "But this requires great efforts from the Wa Kingdom, will they be willing?"

In the past, whether it was the Qing Empire or the Wa Kingdom, the two actually had their own plans, and they knew each other well, not sincere cooperation.

But according to Hong Chengchou's proposal, the two countries must cooperate sincerely.

In this way, can we abandon the previous suspicion?

This is a problem!
After hearing this, Daishan said with some doubts: "We can show our sincerity, but we don't know if the Wa Kingdom will cooperate?"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he said without hesitation: "I believe they also know about Zheng Zhilong's betrayal. The Ming army in Dongjiang Town actually poses a greater threat to them. Our Qing Dynasty has shown a certain degree of sincerity before and dispatched [-] The cavalry went to help in the battle. Now that you are stating your interests, I believe that as long as the Japanese side has a little perspective on the overall situation, they will definitely agree!"

Speaking of this, he knelt down and said: "The slave is willing to make this trip and issue a military order. If he fails, he will come to see him!"

Daishan listened, thought for a while, and said before Dorgon spoke: "Then I will go with him!"

Seeing this, Dorgon nodded and said, "Okay, let's work hard again!"

Hearing his agreement, Hong Chengchou proposed again: "If the Ming army comes to attack during this period, the slaves think that Haizhou can defend it if it can defend it, and if it can't defend it, it will retreat without hesitation, leading the Ming army deep into Liaodong!"

After hearing this, Dorgon nodded again and said, "This king knows it well!"

I have to look at the matter of giving up Haizhou.If it's not really impossible, you still can't give up.

Later, Daishan and Hong Chengchou hurried to North Korea again.On Dorgon's side, while raising cavalry troops, he was preparing to counterattack the Ming army's offensive on the grassland. On the other hand, he sent an order to transfer Fan Wencheng to lead the Eight Banners of Korea to Shengjing to stand by.

....................................

At the same time, the horse head on the Pidao side, the mighty fleet has already landed, and Wu Sangui's troops got off the boat, and all of them were happily leading their horses back to the camp. They all greeted each other and talked about their sabotage battle this time.

"Old Liu, you don't know, this time the killing was fun enough!"

"Those dwarfs, when they suddenly saw us appear, they were all scared to death!"

"Two legs can't run on four legs, and I can only eat our ashes. It's really a joy!"

"..."

On the flagship at the pier, Zheng Zhilong, the chief of the navy, and Wu Sangui, the chief of the Dongjiang town, did not disembark, but watched these triumphant soldiers disembark from the deck.

Zheng Zhilong spoke first, and said to Wu Sangui: "Congratulations, you killed a lot of enemies this time, I'm afraid you can be knighted!"

In such a festive atmosphere, it is the most habitual way for him to pay a little compliment and gain goodwill.

But who knows, Wu Sangui was not as happy as imagined, he just said with a little smile: "I don't expect to be knighted, that's right, even if His Majesty wanted to be knighted, I wouldn't dare to accept it..."

Speaking of this, seeing Zheng Zhilong's face showing a little surprise, he said seriously: "This time's military exploits, replaced by other people, can stand up just as well, it is not the merit of being able to be knighted!"

While saying this, he secretly added a sentence in his heart, he only hoped that the emperor would let go of his prejudice against him because of my humility of refusing to be ennobled for so many military exploits.

Wu Sangui actually figured it out very clearly that the most important thing is to win the holy favor. In that case, as long as he makes more military exploits, he will be conferred a title sooner or later.But if the emperor is prejudiced against him, even if he is conferred this time, he may be confiscated and punished at any time.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know how Wu Sangui felt. Seeing him so modest, he was a little surprised, as if he didn't know Wu Sangui, looked him up and said: "Old Wu, you have changed!"

In the past, Wu Sangui wanted to go to North Korea to fight guerrilla warfare regardless of the danger. In his opinion, he wanted to be knighted.Unexpectedly, when he returned from his life, he said that it was not enough for him to be a knight.

Of course Wu Sangui would not explain, saying that the emperor was prejudiced against him, or that he still remembered the fact that he ran away during the 15th Songjin Battle of Chongzhen.

At this time, he didn't want to continue the topic, so he immediately changed the subject and asked Zheng Zhilong: "Wo Kingdom will definitely not tolerate the existence of Pidao in the future, and their navy will definitely come to attack Pidao, can they hold it?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong's expression also became serious. Looking left and right, they were both the personal guards of the two, and they were separated by a little distance, so they had room to talk. Then he turned his head, looked at Wu Sangui and said: " Your Majesty has a decree, let us stick to Phi Island, if the Japanese army really comes to attack Phi Island, as long as we can defend for a while, the Japanese army will withdraw!"

Seeing that Wu Sangui wanted to speak, he first explained: "Your Majesty has sent the Ryukyu Expeditionary Army to use Ryukyu as a base to attack the Japanese mainland, attract North Korea's Japanese army to return to aid, and destroy the Wa army that returned to the Japanese mainland at sea!"

Wu Sangui was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Where is Ryukyu?"

Before he became the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, he had been on the front line of Guanning. Even if he fell into the pass later, he was still in the Central Plains.I really don't know about the small foreign countries on the sea.

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong simply went back to the cabin, asked the guards to find a pen and paper, and immediately explained to Wu Sangui.

In terms of familiarity with the sea, if Zheng Zhilong is second, no one dares to say that he is the first.

After he explained it, Wu Sangui looked at the map and said with great joy: "This is a good plan. This way, the main force of the Japanese kingdom will be severely damaged! Sun Cifu is worthy of being a soldier. He is amazing!"

In Zheng Zhilong's explanation just now, he said that it was Sun Chuanting's strategic plan.Therefore, Wu Sangui sighed!
However, Zheng Zhilong sighed slightly, and threw the brush in his hand aside.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked: "Old Zheng, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with this plan?"

Zheng Zhilong listened, nodded and said: "Master Cifu is good at fighting, but most of them are on land, and he still doesn't know much about naval battles!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with this plan?" Wu Sangui couldn't help but wondered after hearing this, "Could it be that the Ryukyu Expeditionary Army can't beat the Japanese Navy?"

"That's not enough!" Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said after hearing this, "Our Ming's warships were originally slightly better than the Japanese warships, not to mention that the Tokugawa shogunate on the Japanese side, in order to weaken the strength of daimyo from all over the world, Their large warships were confiscated. In other words, over the years, their large warships must have not been added. On the court side, there are still more powerful steam iron-clad warships, even if the number of warships is higher than that of the Wa country. If you have fewer teachers, I believe you can win!"

"Then why are you sighing?" Wu Sangui was a little puzzled after hearing this.

Zheng Zhilong knew that Wu Sangui was also a land general, so he looked at him and explained: "The weather has a great influence on naval battles. No matter how many fleets, if there is a storm at sea, it is not uncommon for the entire army to be wiped out. Or it may be because of the weather. The impact of the original plan is often easily delayed."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly and said, "Tell me, if something happens to the imperial expeditionary army, even if nothing happens, it will attack the mainland of the Wa Kingdom a month later than expected. Can we hold on to Pidao?"

After a pause, he added: "The number of warships I have now can probably be guessed by the Japanese side. Just as I know them, they also know me. Either they don't come to fight, but they really want to fight If so, it is estimated that they will definitely raise enough troops!"

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. He never expected this situation!

However, he didn't know anything about the upcoming naval battle, so he asked Zheng Zhilong directly: "Then what should we do?"

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong said helplessly: "I have sent a secret report to His Majesty to explain the situation, but so far, there is no news. Originally, I thought that His Majesty might let us retreat temporarily, at least to Guanglu Island, or From Lushun."

Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately thought too much. Could it be that Sun Chuanting's authority is too great to be faulted?Or is it because the emperor hates himself so much that he wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?
He was thinking about it, when suddenly the guards outside the cabin shouted into the cabin: "Marshal, a fast boat from Dengzhou has arrived!"
