Chapter 155 Instigation (2)
"Du Yong and that good-for-nothing have been in a daze in Guangzhou City. They didn't even go out to raid the city. They just allowed the Tatars to remove the peripheral strongholds one by one. They are also a complete coward. But that Zhang Yue, who fought in Sanshui
However, the Tatars have the time to start internal strife with the reinforcements, and they really think that Guangzhou is the remnant of their group of Li Chengdong."
It is true that Du Yonghe has always been guarding in Guangzhou City, but Lin Cha's case about Zhang Yue is actually only heard about, and there is no concrete news yet. However, in Shi Lang's view, this is a certainty. It's just this time
, but it is strange that he did not question Chen Kai's series of incomprehensible actions.
Half a month ago, Zheng Chenggong used the mobility of the navy to suddenly transport some troops to the old port of Zhangpu, harassed the area near Zhangpu County, and launched an attack on Zhangpu County. Zhangpu County was dominated by Qing troops such as Yang Minggao and Wang Zhigang.
He did not dare to ignore the retreat route and quickly withdrew his troops to return reinforcements. As a result, Zheng Chenggong used the navy to transport the army back. At the same time, he chased the Qing army and regained control of the area west of Pantuoling. The control areas of both sides returned to
origin.
The dilemma of attacking from the east and west has been lifted, but the two Qing armies are still there, and they still dare not ignore them for the time being. Using this period of time, Zheng Chenggong is also reflecting on the problems in tactics. It is indeed as Chen Kai said, everything is copied
The Qing army was really disadvantageous for an army like his with mostly new soldiers, and the gap in the number of skilled soldiers always existed, and it was unlikely to be reversed in a few years or even more than ten years.
This is a crucial issue, but Chen Kai's Spanish square formation is indeed, as Shi Lang said, difficult to deploy in the southern terrain, which is also a big problem.
After all, with the continuous deterioration of the surrounding situation, the Qing army paid more and more attention to him. Even if someone like Chen Kai had an insight into the opportunity, it would be difficult to find such an absolute advantage as when he entered Chaozhou.
This is a good opportunity. If you want to regain the lost ground faster, you can only use a brand new tactics to eliminate the Qing army's individual quality advantage.
This is not an easy task. Zheng Chenggong remembered that even for a genius like Qi Jiguang, it took a long time to compile the Yuanyang Formation, and he was constantly making adjustments as the needs of the battle changed.
.Fortunately, the pressure has dropped sharply and he does not need to rush this moment.
Hearing the deterioration of the situation in Guangzhou and its surrounding areas, Zheng Chenggong became more and more tired compared to Shi Lang who had a happy face. He gradually couldn't listen anymore, so he changed the topic and continued to discuss the Fujian battlefield with Shi Lang.
Condition.
In fact, there is really no better opportunity in the Fujian battlefield for the time being. As we chatted, the topic gradually turned to the defense of Chaozhou, especially Houjin Town, which guarded Chaoyang.
"The surname of the country, there is indeed a verbal conflict between the general and Chen Bin. Logically speaking, the general should not gossip about him, but that guy is used to being unruly and has some prestige in Chaozhou. In addition,
The soldiers in Houjin Town are all local Chaozhou soldiers, and we, the Hokkien people, will not be of the same mind after all."
"Zunhou, do you mean to say that even Jingcheng and us are not of the same mind?"
It was not once or twice that Shi Lang used his native place from another province to attack Chen Kai. This time he was talking about Chen Bin, but Zheng Chenggong immediately thought of how Shi Lang attacked Chen Kai earlier, and his brows furrowed.
"The surname of Guo, the late general, does not refer to Sang and Huai. Chen Canjun has followed the surname Guo since he started his career. He is also a scholar. The last general is not used to seeing him, so there are many conflicts, but this can still be distinguished. Different.
Not to mention, Chen Canjun has no military power in his hands, so what if he has different ambitions. But Chen Bin is different. It is said that his relationship with Yang Hu has become increasingly harmonious recently, which is not a good thing."
Yang Hu was placed by Zheng Chenggong in Houjin Town to monitor and contain Chen Bin. Chen Kai knew this, and it was impossible for him not to understand it even after Shi Lang asked about that past story. Originally, he said a lot, but Zheng Chenggong was not touched.
, until these words were spoken, the expression on his face was slightly moved, but it was still only fleeting and he didn't care too much.
After returning from Chaoyang, Shi Lang held back for a month just to pick him out first and then give Chen Bin eye drops at Zheng Chenggong's place. However, even so, Zheng Chenggong still had no reaction, so Shi Lang simply stopped mentioning it.
, he casually changed the topic and passed it on.
After the discussion, in fact, not much was discussed. It can be said that the situation was still in a stalemate, so that he could not move. After leaving Zheng Chenggong's tent, Shi Lang returned to the military camp in Zuoxiang Town. After entering the tent, Su Mao
I waved back and asked about the results.
"Guo Xing may not have uneasy feelings in his heart. He sent people to Chaoyang to spread the news, saying that Guo Xing was suspicious of Chen Bin, a Chaozhou native, and felt that he might not be of the same mind as us Fujian people, so he was unwilling to fight in the past.
Make good use of him."
Su Mao nodded. He knew very well that with Chen Kai's current status in Zheng Chenggong's mind, it would be difficult for them to instigate him. Shi Lang's repeated setbacks earlier were due to this. But Chen Kai, who also disliked Shi Lang on weekdays,
Bin Bu, a straight-tempered man who fell in with the general trend and was used as a horse bone, is much easier to deal with than Chen Kai, a man who knows what to do when he sticks his ass out.
He wanted to use Chen Kai to scare the monkeys and directly establish his position as the leader of Zheng Chenggong's generals. As a result, Shi Lang kicked the door panel one by one. However, Shi Lang didn't seem to have a good chance at this stage, so he simply
Attack Chen Bin first to set an example for the generals, so as to show off the bad temper he had in Chaoyang a few months ago?
After the matter was settled, Su Mao picked a few clever men to do it. In the next few days, good news came, saying that Yang Minggao's Fujian troops had raised the bid and withdrew. There seemed to be news that the rebels in Jiangxi were causing trouble.
It was so cruel that the Qing government deliberately sent Fujian, who was living in southern Fujian to make a living without working, to aid Jiangxi. I don’t know if it was true or not.
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, this is a good thing for Zheng Chenggong's headquarters. Along with this good news, Zheng Chenggong's third uncle Zheng Zhiwan and clan uncle Zheng Zhipeng also came from his hometown in Anping Town to visit Zheng Chenggong. However, his uncle
Coming all the way to visit his nephew was like visiting the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Zheng Chenggong was a little surprised, but it was quickly proven by the two men's words.
