Lord of Ming Dynasty

"It's impossible," Zhang Huangyan immediately denied, "We are about to successfully take down Ningbo Mansion, so how could we hand over Ningbo Mansion to you?"

Zhang Qiang played with the lid of the teacup in his hand, "Then, is Ningbo Mansion or Nanjing more important? If you own Hangzhou Mansion, then you can attack Nanjing Mansion nearby. That is Nandu. A Nandu Mansion is more meaningful than a Ningbo Mansion. What do you think?" ?”

Why did Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong take Nanjing? Because Nanjing is an extremely important place in the Chinese people, no, it is an extremely important place in the Ming Dynasty and the previous courts. Taking Nanjing is equivalent to almost taking the North. Officials in many places, It can be said that if the people of Ming Dynasty know that they own the capital, of course it is the capital in the south, they will definitely recognize them. Even if they don't recognize them, it will also have the effect of uniting people's hearts.

Of course, the pressure was also great. Once the Qing army knew about the crisis in Nanjing, they would immediately call back most of their troops to besiege the King of Lu forces near Nanjing, instead of besieging the Yongli Nanming court with all their strength.

It was Zhang Qiang's strategy to let the King of Lu's forces share the pressure on the Yongli court, and it was also a strategy for himself to hide behind to buy time for his own development.

Of course, it is impossible to stop the Qing army with the power of King Lu, but with their own support, they can last longer, and tens of thousands of people are hiding on a small Zhoushan Islands, fighting all day long, It is too easy to harass the Qing army once in a while, so Zhang Qiang sent troops to take down Shaoxing Mansion, and at the same time negotiated with them, exchanging Hangzhou Mansion for Ningbo Mansion.

Of course, the Hangzhou Mansion must be taken, and the follow-up forces will move forward one after another. After such a long period of development, Zhang Qiang is no longer satisfied with confronting the Qing army in the inland mountainous counties. He wants to push to the seaside and completely grasp most of the Zhejiang Province.

Expand your own strategic space.

Just like Longwu couldn't bear the loneliness and moved his trip to Tingzhou Prefecture in Jiangxi.

Chapter 195: Chasing the Murder [-]

"Only by correctly judging the situation of war can we win a hundred battles——Ancient Greek military strategist, Wicky Hughes"

Zhang Qiang suddenly said such a sentence.

Zhang Huangyan frowned, "What did the governor say?"

"I mean, you often can't judge the current situation correctly, so you often fail, just like Ningbo Mansion, if you can judge the situation correctly, then you have already won there and held it, and take it as the On the springboard, attack various places, and then go straight to Nanjing. By acquiring Nanjing, the ancient capital, you can improve your reputation, make various forces of Ming Dynasty attach to you, and give the people of Ming Dynasty a hope, but you and King Lu don’t have that vision and courage , so you have been wandering around." Zhang Qiang criticized them without hesitation.

"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we can't do it." Zhang Huangyan said with a blushing face.

"Then, now I'll give you a thought, Nanjing is for you, I want Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion, I don't even want Hangzhou Mansion, how about it?" Zhang Qiang took a step back.

"But we can't win Nanjing, and we can't give you much in return." Zhang Huang said.

"It doesn't take much in return. As a Daming person, I hope to recover Daming as soon as possible, saying that the Tartars will be driven out of Daming as soon as possible." Zhang Qiang said insincerely.

"My lord has the heart. If my wish can be fulfilled, I will definitely ask the King of Lu to make me a marquis." Zhang Huangyan can only give out the title of empty viscount.

But Zhang Qiang didn't care, he used two more idiots to stand in front of him and defend himself against the enemy, that's what he wanted.

"Thank you, then there will be Master Lao." Zhang Qiang stood up and said.

"Well, my lord governor, can you lend us a little more military expenses, and I will ask the King of Lu to reward you when Nanjing is captured." Zhang Huangyan asked in embarrassment.

"Okay, I'll give you one hundred thousand military expenses." Zhang Qiang said.

"Thank you sir." Zhang Huangyan was so moved that he almost hugged Zhang Qiang.

After seeing off Zhang Huangyan, Du Ge waited for a group of people to come in, and Xuanyuan Longfei immediately shouted, "Master Governor, why are you helping them like this? They don't like us very much, and we belong to the Longwu court, and they serve King Lu."

Zhang Qiang gave Xuanyuan Longfei a sideways look, Xuanyuan Longfei immediately stopped talking, he was still a little afraid of Zhang Qiang.

Although Du Ge was also afraid of Zhang Qiang, he was more responsible than Xuanyuan Longfei, "My lord, this is not right."

"There is nothing wrong, Du Ge, immediately lead 1 people to help them take down Ningbo Mansion, then control Ningbo Mansion in our hands, and then wipe out Ningbo Mansion with them, making it our territory." Zhang Qiang Said to Du Ge.

"My lord, I just finished beating the Dutch and the Portuguese. The villain is so tired..."

Du Ge said with some dissatisfaction.

"You don't want to go, okay, I'll let Gu Yuesheng go." Zhang Qiang didn't talk to him too much, and told him directly.

"Okay, my lord, I'll go right away," Du Ge said helplessly, who made him the governor.

"Prefect Gu Yuesheng, I leave this place to you. If Prefect Chen Hanhui wants to help Xuanyuan Longfei manage Wenzhou Mansion, you have to fulfill his responsibilities. Originally, I wanted you to know more about it, but our staff is limited, so you should hurry up." Take it up." Zhang Qiang said to Gu Yuesheng who rushed over.

"My lord, don't worry, I'm already familiar with this place, and I won't let you down." Gu Yuesheng looked like the ancient well was not fluctuating.

"Look, Du Ge is gone, Chen Hanhui is gone, who can be the commander-in-chief of the Taizhou Prefecture?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"My lord, I think Qi Sansheng is a good person, so let him take over as General Du Ge, but if you want to serve as the admiral, you need to be tested by your lord." Gu Yuesheng said.

"Well, okay, then let Qi Sansheng come back from Sanmen County, and let Ma Weixing continue to take on the heavy responsibility there." Zhang Qiang said.

After making some adjustments and making arrangements, Zhang Qiang led the guards to Jinhua Mansion.

Wei Wuji left, and Zhou Porridge also returned to Xianju County for inspection. He had to go back to Jinhua Mansion to sit in town. Although there were Mi Chun and Mi Lin there, facing the 10,000+ Qing army on the opposite side, he still felt that if no one was in town, something would happen. .

Sure enough, when he returned to Jinhua Mansion, he received a battle report that Hu Kui attacked Xiangshan, which was occupied by the Portuguese, but Zheng Hongkui was ahead of him, surrounded Xiangshan, and asked Zhang Qiang for an answer.

To be honest, although the Portuguese went back with heavy losses, Zhang Qiang did not want to take down Xiangshan, Haomenjing, and other nearby counties earlier because of the Longwu court in the middle, because Hu Kui and his troops were mainly for security. The consolation of Guangzhou City, the Longwu and Yongli courts often had conflicts because of orthodox disputes. Zhang Qiang meant that the strength of the two should not be weakened due to internal strife, so they could not mobilize troops to attack the Portuguese.

The strength of the Portuguese was damaged this time. Zhang Qiang originally wanted to let Hu Kui test it out, take down the side of Xiangshan first, and troubleshoot Haomenjing when he has time. Unexpectedly, Zheng Hongkui would do it first.

Although Zheng Hongkui's strength was damaged, Zhang Qiang didn't want to fight with him now. It would be the Qing soldiers who would benefit in that way, and it would be of no benefit to all parties in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"Let Hu Kui withdraw, and monitor Zheng Hongkui and Quanzhou Mansion." Zhang Qiang said to the newly appointed captain of the guard.

"My lord, Mr. Wei Wuji asks for instructions, should we continue the Eastern Expedition and take down the Shaoxing Mansion?" asked the captain of the guard.

"Take it, and after Zhang Huangyan and others take down Ningbo Mansion, we will take down Hangzhou Mansion together with them and force Nanjing." Zhang Qiang said to the captain of the guard.

"But my lord, as we move forward, there will be more and more Qing soldiers, and Lord Wei Wuji is worried that we won't be able to beat them," said the captain of the guard.

"Could it be that I spent more than half a year raising soldiers, and I can't even defeat some green camps and Han army flags?" Zhang Qiang said angrily.

The captain of the guard quickly explained: "My lord, but Mr. Wei said that there are Jurchen tartars from the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture. He is afraid that he will fail, and your lord will blame him."

"Those who were afraid of wolves and tigers in the past, what can they do? Missed the opportunity, where did Milin go? Forget it, call Milin back immediately, let him be the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, give him four thousand musketeers, two Thousands of cavalry, one thousand artillery, five thousand infantry, and then advance with Wei Wuji in two directions, starting from Puyun County, attacking forward, must take Shaoxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion by the end of this month, and take Nanjing next month." Zhang Qiang said.

"Yes, my lord," said the captain of the guard.

"Also, to bring that Tian Bin back, you need to see people alive and dead bodies, understand?" Zhang Qiang shouted.

"My lord, what should the Dutch do? Also, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to say that he wants to send reinforcements to help him take Treasure Island. The Dutch castle is too strong."

Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Qiang really doesn't want to help him. This person is too capable and ambitious.

"Let him send someone to see me, and let's talk face to face." Zhang Qiang said to the captain of the guard.

After Zhu Dayou left, Zhang Qiang could only use the captain of the bodyguard as his housekeeper and protector. Now those spies, spies, and sentinel riders had no one to manage them. Zhang Qiang was thinking about who to replace Zhu Dayou.

Chapter 196: Chasing the Murder [-]

Tian Bin ran into Shaoxing Fucheng.

Wei Wuji didn't chase after him, he stayed where he was, and sent a small team to sweep the surrounding villages and towns. At the same time, he sent out spies and sentry cavalry to investigate the surrounding bandits and rebels.

Every time a group is found, at least one squadron of soldiers will be sent to suppress or persuade them to surrender. Those who do not surrender, whether they are bandits or rebels, will be killed and their property and troops will be confiscated.
