Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Liu Guoxuan, the admiral in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to attack Quanzhou, and he was subordinate to Yidu.

The break of Haicheng shook Fujian Province.The reinforcements retreated to Zhangzhou, and Guoxuan proposed to take advantage of the situation to attack Quanzhou: Wu Shu divided his troops to return to Changtai, and Guoxuan led the army to attack Tong'an.At that time, Yadali, the capital, dispatched troops from Zhejiang to aid Haicheng, and when they arrived in Tong'an, Haicheng was broken;

Wen Guoxuan arrived, abandoned the city and retreated to Quanzhou, Guoxuan supervised the attack by land and water.Zuo Huwei Jiang Sheng attacked Nan'an and went down.As a result, the guards of Hui'an, Anxi, Yongchun, and Dehua counties all abandoned their cities and fled. "

--------"Minutes of Minhai"

While the Zheng army in southern Fujian was victorious, Yang Xian, who received reinforcements from Zuozhen Chen Liang and Youzhen Chen Qiming, led [-] troops to attack Xinhui, and went down to Doumen and Jiangmen. Zheng Jun's soldiers had no ability to resist, so they could only defend behind closed doors. However, Yang Xian conquered it within a day, and then pointed directly at Fengcheng, causing shock in Guangdong Province.

Shang Zhixin was on the front line of Dianbai. When he heard that the rear was tight, he was terrified. He was afraid that Zheng Jun would take advantage of the need to attack Guangzhou. He returned to the army immediately, but Zu Zeqing seized the opportunity to counterattack. I was able to escape back to Yangjiang.

Zu Zeqing had no ambition at all and just wanted to separate one side, so he was safe when he was a little rich. When he saw the Shang army retreating eastward, he returned to collect Gao and Lian prefectures and counties, and went to fulfill the dream of the so-called king of western Guangdong.Since then, Shang Zhixin has had a chance to breathe. After rectifying his troops, he left 2000 people from the Yingyun Department of the General Army to defend Yangjiang, and led the main force of [-] to return to the provincial capital.

At this time, Yang Xian besieged Shunde for three days, and then the whole army turned to the South China Sea and approached Foshan.

Foshan was called Jihua Township in the early years, but it was renamed after three Buddha statues were excavated from Tapogang in the city.At the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Foshan, together with Hankou Town in Hubei, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, and Zhuxian Town in Henan, was called China's "Four Famous Towns", and together with Beijing, Hankou, and Suzhou, it was called the "Four Gatherings in the World". It is famous in Guangdong and the whole country for its iron smelting industry.

However, no matter how prosperous Foshan is, it is only a town-level unit. The town wall is low and the regiment is limited. It may be no problem to resist the robbers, but it cannot resist the well-trained army at all.Seeing Zheng Jun rushing towards him aggressively, the gentry and merchants in Hezhen, who were worried about the military disaster, sent people out of the town to mediate, and they were willing to redeem 3 taels of silver to buy Zheng Jun to detour.

"Lao Jun?" Yang Xian couldn't help sneering as he watched the representatives of the people and the people present him with beef, wine and food. "You have a heart too."

Although Yang Xian's face was gloomy, the representatives of the scholars and civilians still smiled and said: "Master Wang conquered Shangni, and the common people should eat the pot of milk."

"Really?" After dismounting from his horse, Yang Xian circled the three of them twice, reached out and grabbed the money mouse whip of one of them, and pulled it hard. Yang Xian's next words. "What is this? Are you here to welcome Master Wang as an obedient citizen of the Tartars?" Yang Xian dropped the braid in his hand and waved it casually. "Come here, cut off all the pig tails on the back of their heads!"

"My lord, you can't!" With their hair but not their heads, several people were so frightened that they kowtowed to Yang Xian. "Forgive me, forgive me!"

Yang Xian waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and at the same time took a Mazha and sat down: "Forgive me, you only think about the Tartars wanting to kill your head, so it's possible that the officer's sword will not be fast."

Several people lay there daring not to raise their heads, but their bodies were still trembling, and even one of them faintly had water marks on their lower body.

Yang Xian curled his lips in disdain: "Say, what does this Laojun mean?"

"Little man, the little people think of the adults' soldiers and detour." The man on the left stuttered. "My lord, although my lord's soldiers did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but, but Foshan Town is small, I am afraid that it will not be able to support the military supplies and supplies. The people of Hezhen are willing to offer ten thousand taels of silver, no, twenty thousand taels." Although afraid, but The businessman's instinct still made him try to bargain with Yang Xian. "Please let the army pass by and not enter."

"2 taels." Yang Xian's eyes froze. Zheng Jun's march to the South China Sea and Guangzhou was originally a bluff, and now this unexpected joy is naturally the icing on the cake, but he is also an old man, how could he be deceived by the seemingly generous words of the other party? In the past. "What a great handwriting. Foshan is well-known throughout the world. How many people have dedicated to the northern captives over the years? Hehe, come, order the towns to speed up their pace. They must enter Foshan before unitary hour. By then, they must copy and kill a few willing things. The enemy's traitors, 2 taels, ten [-] taels may not be absent."

"My lord," the man in the middle was anxious. Yang Xian's threat almost hit their nails. Once Zheng Jun entered the town, it would be a catastrophe. With such a murderous attack, Foshan will be destroyed. "3 taels, no, 5 taels, as long as the army doesn't enter the town, you can say anything about rewards."

"Oh? Changed your mind again?" Yang Xian stroked his beard. "5 taels, tsk tsk, really deserves to be one of the top four in the world." But what Yang Xian wanted was not just white money. "This fan is not a kidnapper, I caught a few meat tickets and asked for ransom." These words made the kneeling people look at each other, wondering what kind of medicine this Zheng Jun veteran was selling in the gourd, but it was Yang Xian who revealed the hole card himself . "Actually, 3 taels of silver is enough to reward the whole army, but," the three hearts sank, and they heard Yang Xian say. "Foshan has always been famous for its iron smelting. Before tomorrow's sunset, the town needs to prepare 30 catties of refined iron, 3 taels of silver, and a vehicle and boat to transport it to the barracks. If it is not in time, don't blame me. The killing spree is on."

"Refined iron! 30 catties!" After hearing the number reported by Yang Xian, the man on the left shrank to the ground. "My lord, this, this number is really too much, and it is only given for one day, so how can I raise everything for the rest and transport vehicles and boats. One hundred thousand taels is not enough!"

"Is 30 catties of refined iron a lot?" Yang Xian stood up, kicked Maza flying, and said aggressively. "There are tens of thousands of furnace households around Foshan, and the daily shipment to the town can reach 30 jin. Even if there is a profit or loss from the traffic, but the town is so big, will there be a mere [-] jin of inventory? Are you bullying my old man and ignorant? "Yang Xian drew his sword and pointed at the man on the right who had not spoken. "There is no fine iron, iron locks, iron wires, iron anvils, iron pots, iron woks, iron bells, iron needles, iron plows, harrows, and sickles can all be counted, especially the cannons you cast for Shang Zhixin "

It was scary enough to be pointed at by the cold sword before, but now that Yang Xian picked up the old man, the man on the right even fainted without saying a word.Seeing the ugly appearance of their companions, the other two were equally terrified, they could only nod desperately obsequiously, for fear that they would offend Yang Xian and lose his head if they didn't agree.

"Get lost," Yang Xian inserted the sword back. "There will be nothing before sunset tomorrow, and the town will be attacked early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and there will be no chickens or dogs left!"

Several representatives of the civilians ran away, and the lieutenant at the side asked a little puzzled: "Junmen, why do you have to give them two days? Xinhui also went down with a drum, and the low walls of the small towns, We can win it in just one or two rounds, and we can get what we want at that time, it’s not better than grinding our teeth with them.”

"Shang Zhixin is coming back soon." Yang Xian stared at the west. "Our number of soldiers is only one-third of his, so we can save as much as we can," Yang Xian added. "Besides, it is easy to siege the city, and it is not difficult to grab some silver, but it is troublesome to collect iron materials and transport them out. With the cooperation of the people in the town, it is naturally much faster."

The lieutenant general was still a little puzzled: "Junmen, this 30 jin of iron material can occupy a ship's space. When Louchuan Town brought our army here, it was already full. What if it is surrounded by Shang Zhixin's army?" , even if our army wins after the First World War, it’s not just the casualties of capturing the small town of Foshan, it’s better to grab the money and leave.”

"There are so many new immigrants in Taiwan, and there is a shortage of ironware. How can it be enough to produce 30 catties a month?" Yang Xian was a worker before, and these figures were naturally hidden in his heart. "It's okay to talk about the fabric, but even if there is silver, it is difficult to get through the joints of this ironware. If the time is not too tight this time, how can it be [-] catties for this drywall grass?" Speaking of this, Yang Xian took a picture Pat the lieutenant on the shoulder. "Afraid of delays, I went to recruit a few more dragons. I really can't use people to cut down trees and tie rafts. When the time comes, we will go down the river and see if Shang Zhixin has the courage to chase him to the seaside."

As soon as the three envoys fled back and reported, Foshan jumped up immediately. Facing the invincible Zheng Jun in Guangdong Province, the wealthy gentry and eunuchs in Foshan Town absolutely did not have the courage to fight. After a whole night of quarreling, all The merchants in the town finally accepted Yang Xian's ultimatum, so from the early morning of the next day, a continuous stream of transport teams transported bundles and piles of iron materials to the town's wharf.Due to the tight time, there was no time to weigh them one by one, and I was afraid that Zheng Jun would make a fuss about the weight, so the merchants could only calculate leniently. In this way, the iron wares sent out of the town in the end exceeded Yang Xian's requirements by a full amount. become.

The iron wares piled up like a mountain were hidden by the townspeople and collected by Zheng Jun from the village of Zhoubian. Hundreds of small boats went all the way south along the densely covered small river of the Pearl River. Two days later, they entered the sea in Jinwan and arrived at Zheng Jun's warship smoothly. ---More than 30 catties of iron were transported three times by these small boats. It was not until the third day after all Zheng's troops retreated with the boat that the Ministry of Shangzhixin regained Xinhui County and Jiangmen. Doumen only dared to enter carefully after the main force of Zheng Jun retreated.

Although Shang Zhixin didn't want to face Zheng Jun directly, Yang Xian didn't want to stop there. Three days after the warship transporting iron materials to Dongning took his troops back to Qiongzhou for recuperation, he commanded his subordinates to go ashore in Xuwen and head north all the way. Force Leizhou.The Leizhou garrison fled after hearing the wind, and Zheng Jun was able to border on Zu Zeqing, who was nominally under the banner of Zhou Jun.

Although Zu Zeqing was annoyed that Zheng Jun was robbing him of territory, but because Zheng Jun was powerful and Shang Zhixin might make a comeback, in order to leave a way out, he personally visited Yang Xian. Return to the ancestors in the north, and Zheng Jun in the south.At the same time, the ancestors provided farm cattle, ironware, sugar, and rice to the Ming and Zheng forces at low prices, and the Zheng army sent troops to aid them when the Shang army or the Qing army invaded.
