Before Zhou Shixiang set out for Zhaoqing, the Yanping vassal of Jinxia sent envoys to Guangzhou. The person who came was Chen Yonghua, the army under the Yanping vassal of Yanping vassal.∈↗,

"If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, it's in vain to call a hero!"

Who doesn't know Chen Yonghua's reputation in the world? Zhou Shi met this hero who was quite famous in his previous life, but he was not bored yet. If Chen Yonghua had another name "Chen Jinnan". When talking to this young man who was two years younger than him, he was more concerned about the purpose of the other party coming to Guangzhou, or what did the Guo family send his most trusted military advisor to Guangzhou to do.

Chen Yonghua first congratulated the Taiping Army on its defeat of Jidu, and then told Zhou Shixiang that the Prince of Yanping had decided to lead the army north to the Yangtze River in July and take the Nandu straight to the capital.

Zhou Shixiang knew about the battle of the Yangtze River, so he was not surprised. He just tactfully reminded Chen Yonghua that he should pay attention to military discipline and fight quickly. In the city of Nandu, the army must not be stopped at the city. If he takes Jiangkou, he should do his best to attack it. He should never fantasize that the Qing army in Nandu will surrender, and he should not give the Qing army a chance to delay the reinforcements and make them enter the city. Only by taking the reinforcements can they succeed.

"Thank you for Xingping's kindness. The student will tell the lord after he returns."

Before Chen Yonghua came, the Yanping vassal controversy came several times. Whether it was the vassal lord or the general, they were all confident in the battle into the river. The vassal lord was even more ambitious and prepared to worship Emperor Taizu in Xiaoling. Everyone under the vassal lord was ready to fight the Qing court. However, they didn't know how Xingping thought that the vassal lord would fantasize that the Qing army in Jiangnan would compromise. If they really wanted to face the city of Nanjing, whether it was a vassal lord or the soldiers, who did not hope to attack the city immediately, how could they stop and give the Qing army a chance to delay.

Chen Yonghua didn't think it was right, but Zhou Shixiang gave such a solemn explanation that he could only thank his politely for his vassal lord, and then he expressed his purpose.

"My vassal lord wants to ask Xingping to lead his troops into Fujian. In this way, my vassal lord goes straight into the Yangtze River at sea, and Xingping's army restrains Zhejiang on land. The Qing army will attack by water and land. If the Qing army is in the southern capital, my vassal lord will repay Xingping with the entire province of Fujian!"

Zheng Chenggong's bottom line is that the entire province of Fujian (except Jinxia), and can also divide Zhejiang with the Taiping Army along the Qiantang River, but this bottom line is naturally impossible to be revealed at a moment of discussion. It is always necessary for both sides to fight.

Chen Yonghua believed that Zhou Shijia accepted this condition and sent troops north. As soon as the Jidu army was destroyed, the Qing army in the southeast was now empty. Although Dasu in Fujian was a roadblock on the Taiping Army's northward road, his strength was severely damaged by the Zheng army during the Jin-Xia Navy Battle, so he had no strength to fight against the Taiping Army. The Zheng army was about to go north. If Dasu and the Qing army in Zhejiang heard that there were police in Nanjing, they would definitely mobilize not many troops to aid Nanjing, causing trouble for the Zheng army's Nanjing battle. However, if the Taiping Army was approaching from land, the Qing army in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces would be unable to reinforce Nanjing again, which achieved the goal of restraining the Qing army in the two provinces.

Before the Battle of Chaohui, the Zheng army was generally not optimistic about the Taiping Army, but now they have no doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army. Let me ask, if a soldier that can completely wipe out the Qing army in Guangdong and the Jidu army could not fight against the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, which were guarded by the Green Camp soldiers, wouldn’t it be a joke?

The Zheng family was not allowed to give in to the south in recent years. In order to win the Nandu in the past few years, it was not only of great political significance, but also greatly benefited the Yanping vassal in military and economic terms. The Jiangnan area alone could support the Zheng family's army of more than 100,000. This important place was the Yanping vassal in such a key place. Chen Yonghua believed that Zhou Shixiang would not speak loudly, and it was an unexpected surprise to win the territory of Fujian Province.

In fact, before Chen Yonghua came, someone from Yanping made another suggestion, which was to ask the Taiping Army to give up Chaozhou to serve the Yanping Army to resettle the military and civilians. If this suggestion was not done before, Yanping would have been moved. In order to compete for Chaozhou, he ignored the ban of Yongli court and savaged the troops of Hao Shangjiu, who were also the Ming army. As a result, Chaozhou did not get it, and instead forced Hao Shangjiu to rebel. When Hao Shangjiu was attacked by the Qing army, Zheng Chenggong beat the idea of ​​watching the tiger fight and the fisherman benefiting. In the end, Hao Shangjiu was defeated and Chaozhou was slaughtered, but Zheng's army still could not get involved in Chaozhou.

Jinxia is a small place, and relying solely on sea trade can only solve the problem of military pay, but cannot solve the problem of food shortage. Chaozhou is a hometown of fish and rice. If Chaozhou is used to resettle hundreds of thousands of military and civilians in Jinxia, ​​Zheng Chenggong will no longer have any worries about food and grass.

Taking Chaozhou to obtain a stable territory and resettle the military and civilians has always been Zheng Chenggong's heart. Before he decided to enter the Yangtze River to seize Nanjing, the Zheng army had been focusing on Chaozhou for several years, but whether to take Chaozhou is now secondary. After all, if the Yangtze River Battle goes well, with Nanjing and Jiangnan, the prince of Yanping would not look down on Chaozhou. This suggestion will naturally not be adopted.

"What about Xingping's intention?"

Chen Yonghua looked at the sensational figure who was only two years older than him. Thinking of what the other party had done in Guangdong in the past two years, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional and admire him. A mere student had become tens of thousands of soldiers in just two or three years, entrenched in the army heads of a province, and successively damaged the Qing army, beheading a prince of Manzhou and a Han vassal of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and surrendering to a Han vassal of the Han vassal of the Han vassal of the Jin Dynasty. Such achievements were worse than those of the King of Jin and Yanping.

In terms of age, King Jin was 39 years old and Yanping was 37 years old, but Zhou Shixiang was only 27 years old, one younger than the other, but the other was more capable. In terms of his prestige alone, the 27-year-old Xingping Bo Zhou Shixiang is now at its peak. His own vassal lord can only defeat these two people after taking Nanjing. Otherwise, with Xingping's achievements, it will be a matter of time before he can be named king. The emperor and the court were in hand. Although the vassal lord did not value the emperor and the court, after all, the great righteousness was in his name, and the prince of King Jin always had to overwhelm his family's vassal lord in name. If he wanted to overwhelm these two people, he could only take Nanjing to sacrifice to Xiaoling Mausoleum!

The vassal lord only asked Xingping to enter Fujian to restrain the Qing army, and did not specify Xingping to obtain any achievements. As long as the Taiping Army was in Nanjing, even the Taiping Army could not yet take Zhejiang and Fujian, the vassal lord would also send troops to help. No matter how to calculate, Xingping would not refuse such a good thing. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shixiang refused. Just as Yanping's vassal refused with the Taiping Army to attack Jidu, he refused without hesitation. He told Chen Yonghua that the Taiping Army was about to fight westward and was unable to fight on both sides at all. However, because the Prince of Yanping in Fujian during the Battle of Chaohui, he ordered a part of the Taiping Army stationed in Chaozhou to enter Fujian to restrain Dasu's troops.

When Chen Yonghua came, he went to Chaozhou. He was also clear that the fifth town of the Taiping Army in Chaozhou was composed of surrendered soldiers and generals, and was not the four main towns of the Taiping Army. Zhou Shixiang did not use his main force to enter Fujian. What can he do to send the fifth town to help?

Chen Yonghua was a little disappointed and advised him again and again. Zhou Shixiang was unmoved and repeatedly emphasized that he would immediately lead the main force to Guangxi to conquer the king. At this moment, the court was in danger. How could a minister not save the emperor? In his words, he blamed the Prince Yanping for disregarding the life and death of the court.

Chen Yonghua was silent and had to say goodbye. When he got up, he heard Zhou Shixiang suddenly say, "I wonder if Mr. Chen has plans to prepare for the Tiandihui?"

"Heaven and Earth Meeting?" Chen Yonghua looked puzzled. What organization is this? It's unheard of.
