Before Wang Jin arrived, Zheng Chenggong took the lead to seize various key points. By the time Wang Jin arrived at Daying, he could find no defensive loopholes on this inevitable road wherever he could.

In this regard, Wang Jin was like an ant on a hot pot. It was not just Zhangzhou, Quanzhou was in danger. More importantly, he sent troops to help this time, and he did not have an army of 15,000 from Zhangzhou and Chaozhou under his command.

, there were only 500 cavalry and a thousand infantry that he brought from Zhangzhou City. The ten times the rescue force that he had blown out before was just a bluff!

"It is said that Zheng Zhilong originally planned to take his son to meet Prince Duanzhong last year, but this boy ran away. If we meet him today, I am afraid that this boy will become a confidant of the imperial court in the future.

It’s a serious problem.”

Zheng Chenggong succeeded Zheng Cai in the Longwu Dynasty and took charge of the defense of Jiangxi. He also fought with the Qing army. However, he had only fought a few battles to this day. However, the death of Jie Yinglong and the current control of these key areas

It seems that he already has the potential of a famous general. This person has a grudge against the Qing court for killing his mother. If he is even stronger, it will not be a good thing for the Qing court. Moreover, it can be said that the stronger Zheng Chenggong is, the more powerful he will be.

The greater the threat to the Qing court.

Inwardly speaking, Wang Jin was a bandit back then, and now he is not die-hardly loyal to the Qing court. But the Qing court has swept the world, and he has already joined the team, and he is on the front line of Fujian, where Zheng Chenggong is the soldier

Wherever the front reaches, the threat to the Qing court may be far away, but the threat to him is imminent.

After several trials, Wang Jin never found any flaw. Since he was bluffing, the troops brought to the front line at this moment were just under the banner of the vanguard. The follow-up troops would nominally arrive one after another, but this was not true.

Sooner or later, Zheng Chenggong will see the flaw, and this day is getting closer and closer.

Wang Jin anxiously walked around the tent. He was in the mountain of corpses in the north and the sea of ​​blood in the south as the Qing army swept everywhere. These experiences, after thinking about them, could not help him break through Zheng Chenggong's defense line. This made him more

He was extremely impatient, but at this moment, a wandering horse brought back a man dressed as a mountain man. Wang Jin saw the greed for wealth and rewards in the man's eyes.

………………

The next day, Zheng Chenggong received new intelligence. The intelligence showed that Wang Jin was mobilizing his army and intended to attack Anping City with all his strength, probably with the intention of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.

In this regard, Zheng Chenggong did not intend to make any further adjustments, because the Qing army came from Daying, and if they wanted to attack Anping, they had to step by step through the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack key points that he had assigned his generals to guard. And his current task

, is to buy more time for the siege war in Quanzhou.

Zheng Chenggong sent a messenger, and the generals were even more alert after receiving the order. However, after two days, the Qing army still had heavy thunder and little rain. Zheng Chenggong, who secretly thought something was wrong, soon received a new notification, that is, where Wang Jin was

The troops suddenly appeared at the gate of Quanzhou City and defeated Zuoxiang Town, which was already suffering from wounds. Zheng Hongkui had no choice but to retreat when the enemy's situation was unknown. The siege of Quanzhou had been lifted by Wang Jin.

"According to the investigation, the captive army was not an army of 15,000, but only Wang Jin's soldiers and horses, probably more than a thousand people. They got the information from unknown sources, and they brought their own horse foot and crossed the pit by cold water well at night.

, left Nan'an, and suddenly appeared at the gate of Quanzhou City. The army under the city was suddenly attacked..."

"That's enough, I know it."

The siege of Quanzhou for more than a month had already greatly reduced the morale of the defenders. Although the city was not within reach, the Ming army had the momentum to overwhelm the defenders. Now that the Qing reinforcements have arrived, even if Zheng Hongkui did not withdraw, the morale of the defenders is no longer the same.

Compared to the past, without that despair, the two Ming armies had no chance of winning with their poor siege skills.

"This guy Wang Jin..."

The great achievement was about to be completed, but something unexpected happened, and Zheng Chenggong was extremely angry. However, after a moment, he calmed down, and Zheng Chenggong quickly came up with a new strategy.

"Order, Hong Zheng and Yu Kuan led their troops to set up an ambush at Qingshi Palace via a small road. Yang Cai and Guo Tai led their troops to ambush in Yuyuan. In addition, Zhongkuangbo Zhang Jin led his troops to respond."

Quanzhou has come to naught. Zheng Chenggong’s target this time was immediately changed to Wang Jin. If he can get rid of this powerful enemy, he will have a greater chance of winning when he marches into Zhangzhou in the future. The generals followed the order, but the next day, news came that

Wang Jin had already passed there two days ago. After careful calculation, it turned out that Wang Jin had already withdrawn his troops on the day he arrived in Quanzhou.

"It's really watertight."

Zheng Chenggong could clearly see Wang Jin's intention. Quanzhou was adjacent to Zhangzhou, and Wang Jin was aiding Li. If Zheng Chenggong or Zheng Cai of Xiamen took the opportunity to attack Zhangzhou, the gains would outweigh the losses. The Qing Dynasty's situation on the battlefield in Fujian prompted

Wang Jin came in a hurry and left in a hurry, playing fast and slow, calculating mentally but not intentionally. Zheng Chenggong would only take one step slowly and slowly, and never find any chance again.

"It's time to go back to South Australia. There's always a chance to see you again."

The army regrouped in the Xuwei area, boarded the ships in Louchuan Town, and sailed away. Compared with when they came, Zheng Chenggong's troops had expanded a lot - Ding Zhuang who had surrendered to the army in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and all kinds of soldiers collected and captured

There were so many supplies and armaments that Zheng Chenggong had to transfer several large ships from Anping that were originally engaged in sea trade to reluctantly load all these harvests.

During this expedition, they first defeated Haicheng, then repulsed Zhao Guozuo, killed Jie Yinglong, captured Liushi Village, and then besieged Quanzhou for more than a month. Finally, they were forced to give up under the reinforcements of the Qing army. From the perspective of achieving the strategic purpose, it was indeed

It didn't achieve very good results, but with the growth of this army, it made a lot of money.

"After we go back, we must seize all the time to train new recruits in preparation for fighting again next year." At this point, Zheng Chenggong was full of expectations for next year: "I hope that Chen Canjun has not been idle in the past few months. This time

During the expedition, thousands of weapons were seized, and seven to eight hundred were thrown away and distributed to Fourth Uncle, but it was still far from enough to make up for the losses and expand the army."

On the ship, Zheng Chenggong wanted to come so much, but it only passed by him in a flash. This journey still took a few days longer than when he came. When they returned to Nan'ao, the civil and military officials on Nan'ao Island who had received the order in advance came together.

He rushed to the pier to welcome Master Wang's triumphant return just as he did when he saw him off before.

However, when Zheng Chenggong returned to his army, he first had to take Xie Yinglong's head to pay homage to Emperor Longwu - even though he was just a general, it was better than returning empty-handed.

After the memorial ceremony, Zheng Chenggong still had to distribute materials, assign and relocate personnel, inspect the city defense of Nan'ao, and there were several talents who had joined his command in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou who needed more energy from him to appease them. There was a brief exchange of pleasantries on the pier, but that was it.

In the morning, he returned to Nan'ao Island, but in the afternoon, Zheng Chenggong barely had time to review official documents. Chen Bao had guarded Nan'ao for many years, and did a good job in Nan'ao's city defense and maritime patrols. After half a day's work, a large number of people and materials were in order. After gathering various places, Zheng Chenggong sat on the Grand Master's chair in the Tiger Festival Hall. While carefully reviewing the official documents in front of the case, he asked Chen Bao and Hong Xu from time to time.

"Nanao Town has recruited more than 700 soldiers?"

"That's true."

"Then we will transfer 300 people from the young men brought back this time to make up the number of Nan'ao Town to 1,000 people, ensuring the security of this fundamental place of our army."

"The general will obey his orders."

"..."

"How was my income during the past few months of my expedition? Are there any problems?"

"Reporting to the surname, the summer tax has been collected and the autumn tax has begun. In addition, the sea trade in Japan is basically run by Yongshengbo's people, and our share is very small. But with the big officials and The Chinese businessmen in Manila have already finalized the documents and just want to resume business contacts with Batavia, Pattani and other places, but they still need more relationships and goods."

"I understand this. Our army does not have that much cargo for the time being, so let's do this for now."

"..."

Zheng Chenggong went on an expedition for several months. Both Chen Bao and Hong Xu put a lot of effort into the defense and management of Nan'ao, a basic place. However, at this stage, their strength is weak and their influence is very small. For example, in maritime trade, Hong Xu was not originally the person responsible for such matters in the Zheng Group, and there was only so much he could do. Zheng Chenggong knew very well that the two of them were confidants he could rely on, and they were doing their best these days. We are trying our best to strengthen the strength of this army. We are just reading the official documents and listening to their opinions.

After asking a few questions, Zheng Chenggong quickly turned to several pieces of intelligence sent back by the agents sent to Chaozhou. There was a delay in the contents of these pieces of intelligence, and one of them even no longer had any practical significance. Just these Zheng Chenggong saw some clues about the intelligence, but he still needed more time to weigh the pros and cons, so he simply put it aside and continued to review the simpler reports.

After flipping through it, most of them were quite satisfactory, which was within Zheng Chenggong's expectations. Zheng Chenggong nodded and opened the last official document, which was submitted by the arsenal. He didn't think too much about it originally, but He subconsciously opened it, but the content inside really shocked him.
Chapter completed!
