Chapter 432

After Zheng Zhilong gave a few more instructions, they parted ways.

And Shen Lian also returned to his room and reported his itinerary to Zhu Youjian.

When Zhu Youjian received the news, he was watching the news from Liaodong.

To be precise, it should be news from the Northeast.

After the beginning of spring this year, when the weather warmed up, Zhu Kezhen led the soldiers to continue to the northeast, and by this time they had arrived near Xingkai Lake.Judging by the boundaries of later generations, they have already left the country. Two hundred miles to the south is the famous Vladivostok, and to the north is the easternmost edge of Heilongjiang, not far from the border.

Zhu Kezhen meticulously passed on Zhu Youjian's beliefs.In his mind, there is only one thing:
territory!territory!Still territory!

In fact, as long as it is Zhu Youjian's students, there is a kind of fanatical paranoia about expanding the territory.In Zhu Youjian's words, it doesn't matter whether there are people living in it now, just occupy it first.

As the saying goes, if you occupy a job for a long time, doesn't it gradually become your own?

What's more, this vast Northeast belongs to Daming, and those who are not convinced or obedient should go to mine.

Therefore, during Zhu Kezhen's triumphant progress, thousands of slaves were sent to the Anben Iron and Steel Group. As for whether they can survive and how long they can live, it depends on Fang Zhenghua's means.

And Zhu Youjian's attitude is also very clear, even if you fight, I will have enough food and drink, and the food and salary will be doubled.There are additional bounties for capturing slaves.In a word, let the soldiers fighting in the bitter cold land feel worth it!
For Zhu Kezhen, he was extremely relieved. He was an all-rounder with outstanding abilities in all aspects. With him around, he didn't need to worry about anything.

After reading the letter sent by Zhu Kezhen, he took over the information sent by Shen Lian from Wang Chengen.

Sure enough, as he expected, Zheng Zhilong also landed successfully.

"Wang Banban, reply to him and let Zheng Zhilong follow the plan."

"Yes, long live."

Early the next morning, Zheng Zhilong led the army up the Taojiang River.

He wanted to catch up with Xu Zhi'an's army as soon as possible, unite his troops and besiege Shenglong.

Three days later, they joined Xu Zhi'an in Beijing North.

Xu Zhi'an's march was slow for two reasons.

One reason is naturally to wait for Zheng Zhilong.

Another reason, of course, is to gather more troops from Thang Long.

"Mr. Zheng, we meet again." Xu Zhi'an cupped his hands towards Zheng Zhilong and said with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly returned the gift, and Zheng Zhilong asked suspiciously after the two were polite.

"General Xu has been landing for many days, why did he come here?" On the way here, he observed, except for a few slightly larger cities, there was no sign of battle at all.Since there was no stubborn resistance, why did he walk so slowly?

"I did it on purpose." Xu Zhi'an said with a smile.

"on purpose?"

Zheng Zhilong froze for a moment.I thought Xu Zhi'an is crazy, dare to sabotage his majesty's orders and deliberately delay time?
"Zheng Bing, it's not what you think. I don't dare to obey His Majesty's orders. I haven't had enough good times yet!" Xu Zhi'an guessed what Zheng Zhilong was thinking when he saw Zheng Zhilong's expression, and explained with a smile road.

"That is."

"Wait for the Jiaozhi soldiers to meet up at Thang Long, or come over to encircle me."

"what?"

Is there even the idea of ​​deliberately walking slowly, waiting for others to encircle and suppress?

"I don't know if Zongbing Zheng has discovered anything along the way?"

"Discovery? What discovery?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned again.

Seeing this, Xu Zhi'an didn't hold back anymore, pointed to the distance and said to Zheng Zhilong:

"Look at the paddy fields over there, look at the grass over there, and look at the dense forests and small rivers in the distance. This place is not suitable for large-scale troops to pass quickly. Only by letting their soldiers gather together as much as possible, Otherwise, even if we captured Thang Long and killed Zheng Bing, these soldiers would go into the mountains and into the woods to conduct sneak attacks from time to time, which would make us quite uncomfortable.

It is precisely because of this consideration that I marched slowly on their territory.Just to let them know that we are here!Hurry up and send troops to besiege, or, hurry up and go back to defend your lair.For now, they chose the latter. "

Xu Zhi'an's face was full of complacency.

He is an excellent commander, and likewise, he is also a nobleman.

A proud nobleman.

After returning to Beijing, this matter can blow up again, and treat other countries as their back garden, tsk tsk, comfortable!

It was difficult for Zheng Zhilong to understand his mood, so he forcibly swallowed back what he said.

"You guys encountered no resistance along the way?"

"Meet it. When we first landed, there was a fierce siege battle in Haiyang!"

"Oh? Very intense?"

"Very intense! We dispatched a total of forty mortars and two demolition teams. We were able to break through the opponent's city gate! But we didn't kill many enemies, only 300 people. After that, we didn't meet any decent ones." If you resist, the enemy will flee wherever you go, even before they arrive."

"General Xu is mighty!"

Zheng Zhilong said sullenly.

Only a few hundred people were mobilized, do you call this intense?
"Hey~ Your Majesty has taught you well!" He said and cupped his hands towards the north.

Well, this product cannot be boasted.Zheng Zhilong abruptly changed the subject:

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue shopping, move forward, or wait here?"

"I can't go anymore." Xu Zhi'an shook his head. "During the march in the past two days, I got a message that Zheng Yi has ordered generals from all over the country to lead troops into King Shenglongqin.

The nearby prefectures of Shannan, Shanxi, Jingbei, and Haiyang must have reached Thang Long soon, and the farther ones are estimated to take two days. Let's wait for two days and try to catch them in the urn. ! "

"But we have more than 3 soldiers and horses, can we surround it?"

"Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian State, and the son of Qin Liangyu, Chief Soldier of Shizhu, also brought more than 1 people into the country, and they should make peace with us."

"That's more than 4 people. No matter what, the Cochin will not be less than us, right?"

"That won't be the case. If the soldiers are in one place, there will be more than us."

Xu Zhi'an still had a relaxed expression on his face.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a while, and couldn't figure out whether Xu Zhian was really confident or had something wrong with his head.

He knew that the combat power of the soldiers in the Beijing camp must be terrifyingly strong, but if the enemy was several times stronger than his own, how could they possibly be able to surround them?
Your Majesty asked me to fight with this guy, is it reliable?Why is it that the more you look at it, the more out of tune you become?
"By the way, General Zheng, I'll show you something good." He said and took out a spiked thing that looked like a mace from the side.

Then he took out a knife and skillfully opened it, picked up the meat inside and handed it to Zheng Zhilong.

"Try it."

Immediately, Zheng Zhilong smelled a smell of rotten beef, subconsciously leaned back, frowned and asked:

"what is this?"

"Gambling!"
