Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the 40th of the first month of the 26th year of the Yongli calendar, the Qing army under He Fu occupied Huitong.Next, the Qing army passed through Jianghouling, Jiajiling, Baishiling, Changpoling, Pailing, Lumaling, Dadoupo, Wufuling and other hilly areas with great difficulty. Enter the plain area on the front line of Tanmen Port.

"Reporting to the military gate, there are people waiting for the imperial army with cattle and wine."

Because this area is a densely populated area, and because Zheng Jun mainly migrated people from Anding, Huitong, and Wenchang counties after the Anding War, the Qing army's scouting horses did not find Zheng Jun, but ushered in the place where the food pulp pot was. The gentry, these precarious landlords under the shadow of Zheng Junqiang's relocation, regarded the Qing army led by He Fu as their savior, and led the villagers and ethnic groups to welcome the king's master.

"At the military gate, the common people lined up to welcome the master Wang, which is inspired by the emperor's holiness, and it is also a portrayal of the military gate's solution to the people's upside down."

"This is the virtue of the Holy Son of Heaven, how dare I take credit for it." He Fu glared at the sloppy lieutenant beside him, comparing himself with Kangxi, whether he was praising himself or hurting himself. "Although the people are diligent, but Haini has not been wiped out, I will not stay here. Lord Wang, please go to meet the people on my behalf, and inquire about Haini's current situation by the way."

"The military gate has been investigated. The main force of Haini is set up in Bo'aopu, and another part is guarding Lehui County."

Lecheng, the city of Lehui County, is located on Lecheng Island on the Wanquan River. It is surrounded by water, and only boats can enter and exit. Therefore, as long as hundreds of people guard the island, the Qing army who came from afar will have nothing to do. Of course, if Boaopu can be defeated Zheng Jun's water village, then Zheng Jun who defended Lecheng will also become a meal for the Qing army because of his isolation and helplessness.

Since the crux of the problem is the ownership of Boao, He Fu asked: "Have you found out the situation of Zheng Jun on the front line of Boao?"

"It has been found that Zheng Jun has three villages in Hebei and three villages in the sandbanks at the mouth of the river. As for the situation in Henan and the inner sea of ​​Samet, it is unknown, but the explorers who sneaked into the river did not find Zheng Jun's navy. It is estimated that they are hiding in the south."

Looking at the rough map in front of him, He Fu couldn't help frowning.You must know that Boao is a place with dense rivers, lakes and dense forests. It is a place that is good for defense but not good for attack. Zheng Jun has set up three key passes along the river, which seems to be just to lure the Qing army to conquer them one by one. This made He Fu doubtful. , Do you want to dance to the rhythm of Zheng Jun?

Seeing He Fu's thinking, the commander-in-chief suggested: "Junmen, I think that although Haini has three strongholds in Hebei, the army is nearly [-]; The suspicion of the soldiers is whether to divide the troops up the river, choose a shallow place to cross the river, or go straight to the inner sea of ​​Samet to copy the heartland of Haini."

Divide up?Use the Wanquan River to divide the army?He Fu's eyes lit up as the speaker listened unintentionally. Perhaps this was Zheng Jun's real intention, but did Zheng Jun have so many troops?Or maybe in the past few months, there has indeed been a brigade of Zheng Jun coming from Qiongzhou, but Zheng Kezang is not going to guard Dongning anymore?

He Fu's thinking was a little confused, he frowned and thought, it must be too late to ask Fujian about the enemy's situation now, and the only way to do it now is to explore while fighting, so he said with a smile: "Zuojiang is here! Yan Dashan, but first you need to know whether Zheng Jun's fortress is a silver-like wax spearhead."

Speaking of this, He Fu, who politely declined the request to divide the troops, ordered: "All the ministries set up camp on the spot, scout horses and carefully inquire about the movements of Zheng's army, so as to confirm the strength of Zheng's army."

"The Zheng army is here!" The fall of Changhua was not enough to shake He Fu's determination, but the Qing army in Danzhou and other places was shocked three times a day. In Danzhou Bay, a sudden frenzy erupted. "Hurry up, go back to Zhoucheng and report to Master Du Si." The Qing army leader who was in charge of the Baimajing Beacon Tower immediately jumped onto his old donkey. "You guard it for me. When the reinforcements come, I will reward you."

But no one is a fool, as soon as the general manager left, a few green battalion soldiers scattered, and even forgot to light the beacon fire, but the beacon fire tower in Yangpu on the other side was still doing its duty, but the beacon fire that went straight into the sky caused a lot of trouble. Great commotion.

A dozen or so breaths later, the smoke from beacon towers such as Xiantang, Haiqi, and Huachong lit up one after another. After a while, Xinying beacon tower, which saw the soaring smoke column on the other side of the bay, also raised smoke to warn in panic. Soon, The baton was passed to the city of Danzhou one by one.

Seeing the warning, the Qing army guarding the city hurriedly closed the four gates of Danzhou, and the main street in Danzhou city fell into a dead silence after a moment of turmoil, but the back gates of several big families were full of transporters. The mournful cries and terrified cries of the servants of the belongings bring a bit of fear of the end of the world.

Li Hui (Youpin Road 123456), who was sitting on a two-sail boat with no more than a group of people, did not know that he had created such a big momentum. You must know that the Marine Corps had no plan to continue northward. With all his strength, he sent a boat to try to harass them by sea.

"Li Hujun, the beacon fires on the shore have been lit, shouldn't we go back?" He Zhichao, the captain of the double-sail boat (recommended by a friend crying pupa) is also called the captain Lieutenant Wu, neither can be compared with the captain of the plywood gunboat, the captain of the sixth rank Chengxin, nor can he be compared with the captain of the notification ship and the captain of the Dafu ship, the captain of the seventh rank Zhongwu, even in the rank of captain of the Qipin Hujun. Li Hui, who joined the army from the Divisional Marine Corps, always regarded himself as a subordinate in front of him. "If it's too late, in case the Qing captives send a boat to attack, we can just"

"Although what He Xiuwu said is reasonable, the beacon fire has been lit for a long time. Is there any sign of the Qing army attacking?"

He Zhichao is not the brother of He Zhizhou, the owner of the Mingzheng Manila Commercial House. He can barely be regarded as the same ancestor 500 years ago. He was an anti-Qing rebel army incorporated from Zhoushan. When he said it in a slightly teasing tone, his temper also came up: "Since the guards are not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of."

"That's good." Li Hui pointed to the beach not far away. "Is that the saltworks over there?" He Zhichao glanced and nodded. "In the past, thieves never came empty-handed. Since we have come, we will go back without loot, and bring salt to silence those bastards."

He Zhichao's brows tightened as the small boats on board the boat transported the marines to the salt field twice. He just took a gamble. To be honest, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to stay in this dead place. Let him be on tenterhooks.

But He Zhichao was worried in vain. Seeing Zheng Jun boarded the beach, the ambassador of the salt field ran away with dozens of salt dices, and gave Li Hui and the others a mountain of sea salt without resistance.Li Hui, who had no means of transportation, stared at the salt for a long time, dumbfounded, before finding a few straw bags and transporting them back to the ship.

"Hai Ni stole a total of [-] stones of sea salt." Zheng Jun harassed a circle and then retreated. Zhizhou and Du Si, who had finally settled down, had not had time to celebrate with each other, and reported the losses below. "In addition, Haiqi and Huachong each lost a cannon. This, this makes me how to report to the magistrate."

In fact, Zhizhou also understands that what Zheng Jun came here was only a small boat, so how could he transport [-] shi of sea salt? However, you should have your own share of these. In this case, it is better to make an article full of flowers.

"My lord, my little one thinks that Haini broke into Danzhou Bay with fifteen large ships and nearly a hundred small boats. Lord Du Si personally led his troops to defend Danzhou City, and finally repelled Haini by relying on the power of heaven, losing more than a hundred troops. , some ordnance, besides, Haini also looted sea salt and other materials, which is useless." The master next to him said so. "In order to ensure that Hai Ni did not lure the snake out of the hole, Master Du Si did not go out of the city to pursue it. He sent out a sentry post the next day, only to find that Hai Ni had escaped."

"That's it, that's good!" The Du Si lord next to him smiled, not only did he gain military merit, but also canceled the holes that should be filled. Whether he can make another fortune because of this will naturally depend on the result of his bargaining with the Zhizhou. "However, is it necessary to write something like Zhizhou Lord's visit to the city to supervise the battle, which boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers?"

"It doesn't matter whether you write these things or not. As long as the city is defended, it will be a great achievement for me." Having said that, the staff will naturally pay a lot of money. "Lord Du Si, the papers in the house are easy to write, but today is just a spy post of Hai Ni, what should I do if Hai Ni invades aggressively in the future?"

"Your Majesty Zhizhou is very considerate. Although a lot of Xiangyongs have been recruited at the moment, what is the strength of the Xiangyongs?" Du Si also frowned, obviously afraid that Zheng Jun would swarm him. "The meaning of the lower official is that they should ask Fucheng for help together with the report of victory. At least let the magistrate transfer one or two battalion leaders to Danzhou."

Zhizhou said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the magistrate will refuse to send troops on the grounds that there are few soldiers in Fucheng."

"If the magistrate is unwilling to draw troops from Fucheng, can I ask him to arrange for troops from Lingao and Chengmai counties to come for reinforcements." If you don't protect yourself, the next step is Lingao and Chengmai. Naturally, you can't protect yourself. "My lord has to tell the two counties what to do."

"That's all"

"My lord," Zhizhou hadn't finished speaking when the servants below came in to report. "The big households in the city ask your lord to open the city gate so that they can go to Fucheng to take refuge."

"These bastards!" Zhizhou cursed, but the big family has some background, and he, a governor of Sanzhou, can't deal with it. "Forget it, open the east gate and let them go quickly."

The yamen servant just wanted to quit, but Du Si stopped him: "Slow! If they leave, what about the salary and food?"

Zhizhou knew the elegant meaning after hearing the stringed songs, but there were some words that he couldn't let him say, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does Mr. Du Si mean?"

"You can go, you have to leave something behind"
