Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eighth Two Troops
The destruction of Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai's troops in such a short period of time exceeded Zhu Yicheng's expectations, and also disrupted his original plan.
In Zhu Yicheng's original plan, Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai could delay for half a year, and he took this time to take over Taiwan and then gradually make further plans. But who would have thought that Yin Huaxing's actions were so fast? What's even more puzzling is that Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai were killed so easily, which was really unexpected.
"Grandmaster..." Wang Dong was summoned by Zhu Yicheng and gave a salute first. Then he saw Dong Dashan who had already entered the seat. Liao Huanzhi and the others nodded, and then sat down in their own position.
"How is the navy prepared?" Zhu Yicheng was not polite, and asked directly when he saw him sitting.
"When returning to the Grand Commander, the navy is still stepping up preparations, but it takes time for the supplies, and now it is winter, so..." Wang Dong didn't say the last words, but everyone present knew that it was nothing more than the original plan to attack Taiwan after the beginning of spring, but no one expected that the change in Jiangnan would be so fast.
There is still one month left before spring, and from this point of view, Wang Dong’s preparations are still being planned. But the plan has not changed quickly now, and Wang Dong also knew in his heart that with the changes in the situation in Jiangnan, Ningbo will face the most severe test.
Nodding without comment, Zhu Yicheng asked, "Yuan Qi, you know the news about Zhu Jiancai's two films. Once these two films are destroyed, I will be the first to be affected. Let's talk about how to deal with you next."
As soon as he finished speaking, the house was silent and everyone did not speak for a while. Everyone knew the situation very well. Although Ningbo had good combat power and the rebel army after occupying Taizhou also had a considerable territory, it was nothing compared to the entire Qing Dynasty.
Ningbo has been acting in a bottom line before, and even secretly gave a lot of support to the two minions of Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai for the sake of the overall situation. The purpose was to make Yuan Zhu and others hold the Qing army tightly and unable to look east. But now with the destruction of these two minions, the Qing army's goal has changed from western Zhejiang to eastern Zhejiang. At that time, Ningbo will face the attack of the entire Qing Dynasty.
"I can't think of a good idea for a while, but according to my opinion, if the land is defeated, at least our Ningbo Navy is in hand, and it may be possible to support it in Zhoushan. Besides, if we can speed up the acquisition of Taiwan, it would be impossible to seize the country and separatist overseas." Liao Huanzhi, as a dog-headed military advisor, spoke first. His plan sounded reasonable. The Fujian Navy is now in a slump. Ningbo Navy is now the most powerful naval force in China. If you can't stay on land, then going overseas is a way. As long as the navy is in hand, the Qing Dynasty will have no choice but to do anything to them for the time being.
"It is not feasible to follow the old path of the country, but if you just trapped in Taiwan, the result will be the same as the Zheng family." Dong Dashan shook his head. Liao Huanzhi's method is not feasible, but losing the mainland land means sitting on an isolated island. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, even if the Fujian Navy is gone, it will not take long for him to build another one. What will happen when that time?
"If it really doesn't work, you can go to Nanyang. Where can I go to this world so big?" Liao Huanzhi said anxiously. Everyone present showed thoughtful expressions. It would be a way to go to Nanyang, but for today's Chinese people, once they go to Nanyang, no one will be confident about an unpredictable future.
"I think it's better to take offense as defense!" At this time, the navy commander Wang Dong said something, and he stood up and said, "I am not a soft persimmon, I can pinch it just by saying that I can pinch it. Yuan Qi, Zhu Jiancai is incompetent, and it's a shame to lose all the territory in such a short time. It's simply a shame to the rebels. Now instead of wanting to retreat, it's better to take advantage of the opportunity that Qing Gou is still in western Zhejiang to go west and let us see them directly, and then the entire Jiangnan will be upset. Who will laugh until the end will not know."
"What is the current situation of Zhejiang?" Zhu Yicheng turned to Dong Dashan.
"Zhejiang Governor Nian Gengyao is indeed a powerful figure. The turmoil in various places caused by food shortage has basically subsided. Now, except for a few places, it can be said that he has almost been suppressed by him. It would be difficult for the Grand Governor to make a fuss in this regard."
When Gengyao first arrived in Zhejiang, the rebels didn't care about this person, except Zhu Yicheng. At first, Dong Dashan thought that Zhu Yicheng's worries were too much worry, but who would have thought that Gengyao was really not simple this year. He was so cruel that he killed people and put down most of Zhejiang in a short time. The chaos caused by the food shortage was suppressed by him.
"Nian Gengyao is not simple, but unfortunately he is just the governor of Zhejiang." Zhu Yicheng said meaningfully. Seeing that everyone was a little confused, he smiled and said nothing. After receiving the news from Zhejiang West, Zhu Yicheng was thinking about the next plan. He has been considering this issue these days, and today he wanted to announce the next move to attract people to discuss matters.
"Wang Dong!" Zhu Yicheng's expression calmed down, and Wang Dong quickly stood up.
"Give you ten days to prepare as soon as possible, and the navy will be ready at any time."
"I understand!" Wang Dong bowed and responded, but he couldn't help asking: "This expedition...is it Taiwan?"
"Waiting for the order!" Zhu Yicheng said calmly, and Wang Dong nodded quickly and never dared to respond again.
"Dong Dashan!"
"I'm here!"
"The army also completed preparations within ten days, and also sent a command to gather and standby for Ma Gongcheng in Taizhou!"
"I obey the order!"
Finally, Zhu Yicheng told Liao Huanzhi: "Liao Changshi, you will allocate all the supplies of the water and land armies. They must be completed within the specified time. If there is any deficiency, you can directly find Wang Fan to find a solution or report to me."
In the face of such a big event, Liao Huanzhi dared not neglect. He is now a person who boarded the boat. Once the boat capsized, he will die without a burial place, so he immediately responded.
Time was tight, and after the order was issued, Zhu Yicheng made everyone prepare. In this way, the entire Ningbo immediately started to move, and at the same time, Ningbo was also closely watching the movements of the Qing army in Jiangnan.
Today, Ningbo and Taizhou have a total force of more than 60,000, including more than 40,000 troops in the army and more than 10,000 naval forces. If the fleets of Qingzhuang and Zhoushan are combined, it is no problem to pull up a team of 100,000. What's more, the Ningbo rebels have been training and reorganizing in Zhu Yicheng's hands. Since occupying Ningbo, they have won several consecutive victories. There is no problem with their combat effectiveness and morale, which is also Zhu Yicheng's confidence.
Ten days later, the two naval and land armies had completed their assembly and preparations, and Zhu Yicheng officially issued an attack order. However, unlike what everyone thought, Zhu Yicheng was not prepared to attack Taiwan, nor did he go west to attack Zhejiang as Wang Dong said. Instead, the troops were divided into two groups, one was mainly Wang Dong's Ningbo Navy, and more than 10,000 troops from the army went north to occupy Chongming first, using Chongming as the advance base to attack Su Song, while the other was Ma Gongcheng from Taizhou to send troops to attack Wenzhou.
