Chongzhen Chat Group

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he turned to look in the direction of Jinzhou and sneered: "When I asked the Jinzhou defenders to retreat, they had already transported all the artillery. The Dongjiang Army did not have artillery. In such a short period of time, , they can’t transport artillery from the Ming Dynasty to Jinzhou. When the weather is freezing and the sea is frozen, I don’t believe that the Jinzhou city wall can’t be destroyed by just using the general’s cannon!”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fan Wencheng heard this and immediately complimented him in a joking manner, "Since we have dug a hole for the Ming army to jump out of, how can we not have a way to deal with the Ming army who has entered the pit! When the Dongjiang army is wiped out in the depth of winter , Your Majesty’s prestige will surely rise to the sky, and you no longer have to worry about the disloyalty of the Mongolian allies!”

"Haha..." Huang Taiji laughed happily after hearing this. The eyes on his fat face were originally small. When he laughed like this, it looked like he had closed his eyes. "How can you care about temporary gains and losses in a war? No matter how powerful Lu Xiangsheng is, it seems now that I, the Qing Dynasty, will have the last laugh!"

"A sneeze!" Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai who was far away in Lushun, suddenly sneezed, but no one of the generals present dared to laugh. Wei Mulan behind him looked at him worriedly. Mr. Zhongcheng has such a strong body. Could it be a cold?

Lu Xiangsheng acted as if there was no such thing, and said seriously to the generals in the lobby: "Everyone, it is estimated that in more than half a month, the sea will begin to freeze. From then on, the navy will not be able to come and go. Therefore, according to the emperor's decree, the new army must land before the ice freeze, sneak attack on Gaizhou and hold on to it. Calculating the time, it should be almost there!"

The new army had already arrived in Lushun and rested for a long time. Even in order to ensure that the combat effectiveness after landing is not weak, these days, landing drills have been carried out at the Port of Lushun in accordance with the emperor's instructions.

Of course, this kind of drill battle cannot be compared with the landing battles of later generations. In this era, the seaside was completely undefended. The purpose of the drill was to enable the Ming army to land quickly, and then immediately start operations in an orderly manner, without causing a mess on the beach and wasting time.

Upon hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, the two people standing in the hall, one on the left and one on the right at the front, namely the new military division general Cao Bianjiao and the division supervisor Feng Dehua, immediately clasped their fists and said: "Please give the order, Lord Zhongcheng!"

When the two of them expressed their stance, the generals and supervisors of the New Army stepped out of the queue one after another, and responded in unison: "Please give the order, Lord Zhongcheng!"

Seeing their fighting mood rising, Zheng Zhilong standing beside him secretly praised in his heart, but said nothing on the surface!

At this moment, I heard General Lu Xiangsheng saying: "Where is General Zheng Shen of the Fujian Navy?"

"The general is here!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong quickly stepped out of the queue. His brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhiwan also followed him out of the queue, also clasping their fists and waiting for the general's order.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at them and ordered with a serious face: "According to the emperor's decree, after your Fujian Navy transports the new troops to land, you can directly return to Fujian and go to the tent of Fujian Governor Sun Zhongcheng to listen to orders."

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he was delighted and immediately responded: "General, I will obey your order!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng revealed the news to them again: "Without you, the pirates along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong have the tendency to resurgence. In particular, a pirate named Liu Xiang is quite powerful and has seriously hindered the imperial court's plan to open the sea. Your Majesty An order has been issued to Sun Zhongcheng. As soon as you arrive, we will attack together by land and water. If necessary, we can also combine the power of Hongyi and Folangji people. The emperor's intention is that at most next year, we must give Ming Dynasty Peace along the coast!”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was a little surprised. Hearing this, it seemed that Hongyi and Folangjiren would listen to the court. If this was the case, the navy power in the hands of the court would be great!

But he immediately understood that it must be in the interest of the Hongyi and Folangji people to establish a sea ban, so that they could legitimately trade goods with the Ming Dynasty!

As for Liu Xiang, Zheng Zhilong sneered in his heart. I have worshiped the boss before, but he is a short-sighted person. Although he has many people and strong support from Guangdong behind him, there is nothing to worry about. The imperial court has mobilized so much power that it is afraid that it cannot easily destroy him!

Thinking this, he immediately responded loudly, saying that he would obey the imperial court's order and would go all out to destroy the pirates and live up to the emperor's kindness!

Li Zhiqi, commander of the Denglai Navy, stood nearby and watched with cold eyes. Since the last time he was punished for copying the word "fellow robe" and copied to death, at least on the surface, he has been very restrained and will not quarrel with the Zheng brothers again. But to put the past suspicion aside, this warrior from the island does not have such a big mind.

Hearing their conversation at this time, he couldn't help but feel sarcastic in his heart. He killed Liu Xiang and asked the court to help you dispatch Hongyi and Folangji people. Are you ashamed?

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he immediately stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Master Zhongcheng, the north is frozen in winter, and the Denglai navy has almost no use. Please ask for orders to go to the south to help exterminate the pirates!"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this before. However, as the governor of Denglai, he did not have the power to mobilize troops across regions.

When Zheng Zhilong saw Li Zhiqi jumping out to mention this matter, he knew very well that this guy definitely wanted to go back once and show his existence to the old friends over there. Let those people see that not only did he, Li Zhiqi, not die, but he became the commander of the Denglai Navy.

But thinking of this, he couldn't help but warn himself immediately. We have to do our best to go back and exterminate the pirates this time. Otherwise, if the emperor is not satisfied, it is really possible to transfer this gangster. As for this time, haha...

Just as Zheng Zhilong thought, Lu Xiangsheng quickly shook his head and said: "The Denglai Navy still has to stay in Denglai. After fighting for a year, we can take advantage of the winter to take a good rest. The emperor has already told us that the Navy must take the opportunity to reorganize , we will sum up our experience and expand the scale in the coming year.”

When he heard that the navy was going to be expanded, Li Zhiqi couldn't help but be happy. He glanced at Zheng Zhilong from the corner of his eye, and then with a hint of excitement, he responded loudly: "I will obey the order!"

The things he told Zheng Zhilong were just digressions. After finishing talking about the navy, Lu Xiangsheng began to focus on explaining the winter operations, mainly talking about some details of the cooperation between Gaizhou and Jinzhou.

After all these details were discussed, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wei Mulan standing next to him. Seeing that she had no reaction, he knew that there was no new order from the emperor, so he solemnly and loudly ordered: "Tomorrow morning, the new army will be launched." Get on board and set off!”

"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao, Feng Dehua and others immediately accepted the order with clasped fists excitedly.
