Chapter 293 Where to Go from Zheng Zhilong

The Eight Banners, Green Banners, Cavalry, Infantry, and many wealthy officials, gentry and wealthy families fled north.

They are crowded and trampled on each other.

It was like a collapsed mountain, grass, rocks, soil and sand, all rushing down, mixed with each other, and inseparable from each other.

The cavalry defeated the infantry, the Eight Banners defeated the green flag, and the green flag dispersed the wealthy officials and gentry again, and even Wang Aoyong's battalion was destroyed. Fortunately, he himself had some ability, and under the protection of his personal soldiers, he used a knife to cut open a road, so he was not overwhelmed by the collapsed military and civilians.

However, although Wang Aoyong escaped his life, he was also hit hard.

The Qing Dynasty lured the enemy into the depths, and the Ming army that fought in one battle was defeated, and the general trend of the world had reversed in just a short time. If he could assist Prince Su at this time and defend the provincial capital of Qi and Lu for the Qing Dynasty, it would have been a special achievement.

The confrontation in those days before also brought him great confidence. The ice castle was extremely simple to build and repaired, but it could resist the bombardment of Zheng Army artillery. In Wang Aoyong's eyes, this was a great strategy and a good strategy.

Unexpectedly, the situation in Jinan was like the Ming army's northern expedition. Once it was repeated, they would be defeated.

Wang Aoyong didn't even see the enemy's appearance, and the battle was over. Zheng's army was still a distance away from Jinan City.

Zheng Zhilong had no intention of paying attention to what he had taken place, and the latter was presided over by Zheng Zhibao and others. The left and right were the ones who chased the north, what was the difficulty?

Zheng Zhilong needs to carefully consider the next situation.

After the Ming army was defeated in such a battle, Emperor Chongzhen's ambition was over. Zhu Ming, who had lost his strength, was afraid that he would not be able to recover his spirit without three to five years. The Qing Dynasty could have dealt with the harassment of Zheng's army on the eastern coastal areas while freeing up his hands to deal with Li Zicheng.

So where do you go?

Should I follow the original plan and go to Nanyang to quietly accumulate strength, or...

According to Zheng Zhilong's original intention, of course, it is better to accumulate strength in Southeast Asia.

In this way, he could not only clean up and rectify the Southeast Asian countries, but also slowly drive away the European forces in the East, but also watch Emperor Chongzhen engage in an infighting with the gentry of Jiangnan!

You should know that the number of cannons in the hands of the Tatars has been increasing, and the number of cannons is very inconsistent with the ability of the Tatars to make cannons themselves. It is obvious that someone sold them to the Tatars on his back.

As for who it is, Zheng Zhilong has not found out, and he has not even found the smuggling route, but the people are only Dutch and English. As for the Portuguese, they have this ability, but they absolutely dare not!

It can be seen from this that the Zheng family still needs to strengthen the Nanyang area.

As for Emperor Chongzhen and the gentry in Jiangnan, it was the inevitable struggle between the two sides caused by the tense situation.

Under the threat of the Qing Dynasty, the rapid restoration and increase of the military strength of the Jinling court was the most important event for Emperor Chongzhen. It was related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty and the safety of the country.

However, the millions of taels of silver that Zheng Zhilong had obtained for him, and the Guangguang that Emperor Chongzhen had spent early, would be able to restore the strength of the Ming army and enhance the strength of the Ming army. It was rare to achieve it quickly with the current taxes.

Because although Jiangnan is rich, it can collect a large amount of money, grain and taxes, even if there are many gentry, they do not pay taxes at all. However, the land of wealth is so awesome. Even if it is just for this situation, as long as Emperor Chongzhen is given enough time, the Ming army can recover its strength and slowly increase its strength.

But it really takes a very slow process.

Ten years or twenty years, no one can say, it’s long.

But in the current situation, Emperor Chongzhen did not have so much time. In order to protect himself and to protect the Zhu family's country, he had to restore the strength of the Ming army in the shortest time, and to give him a further gain than before.

This requires him to get a large amount of money and food in a short period of time, so that he can do it.

This is the unresolved contradiction between the gentry of the Southern Kingdom led by the gentry of Jiangnan and Emperor Chongzhen.

The former is not ashamed of all the hypocritical and full of magnanimity, what will happen to them when they really want to take money from their pockets?

As soon as Zheng Zhilong thought of this scene, he would be very happy. What would the gentry do then? Will they all look forward to the Qing Dynasty royal army in Jiangbei to rescue them?

Zheng Zhilong doesn't believe that after experiencing many things, Emperor Chongzhen is still firmly bound by the old rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as he is not stupid, he should understand. If he doesn't make changes, he will have to wait for death.

I die by myself, the Zhu family dies, and the Ming Dynasty dies!

After experiencing a direct threat of death, can Emperor Chongzhen take action when he faces the crisis of death again?

Compared with Emperor Chongzhen in Yanjing, he now holds heavy troops.

The navy along the Yangtze River and the imperial camp troops were always firmly controlled by Emperor Chongzhen.

He wanted to make an action, hahaha, Zheng Zhilong was so happy to think about it. He wanted to see the expressions of the gentry of Jiangnan at that time, and he wanted to know the choices of Jiangnan's gentry afterwards...

But this is just Zheng Zhilong's original intention, not the reality he faces.

The reality is that the urgency in Zheng Zhilong's heart became stronger and stronger, which made him feel very bad.

In this way, he was like a time bomb in his pocket, and he might have exploded at the moment.

He had already accelerated the speed before, but now Zheng Zhilong thought faster. In other words, reason was still there, so he didn't ask him to gather troops to land in Tianjin and go to the capital!

And now, where will he go?

...

Wang Aoyong's face was full of fear. After dismounting, he relied on his personal support so he did not fall down.

"This...whether is this?" Wang Aoyong asked blankly.

"Only the ghost knows that those Zheng army's fierce and vicious ones are so fucking that they can run away. They chased us for a long time!" Who knew whether this was Yucheng or Jiyang? The deputy general of the central army felt that his waist and legs were numb, and his butt was even more unconscious.

He is like this, a warrior. Wang Aoyong looks so trembling, but he is really not a fake.

Running north from Jinan City, Zheng Jun was chased by him. It took him two hours to throw the pursuers away. But before they sat down and rested, Zheng Jun suddenly surrounded him from the front and finished all the last green flags beside Wang Aoyong.

But surrounded by a group of close friends, he rode out of the siege on his horse.

Who still remembers the way when you run here in this breath?

At first, there was still some skylight that allowed them to see the road clearly, but then it became dark. All they could do was to make a few torches themselves, and try to avoid the torches behind them, and then go north, north, and keep running north.

This really killed Wang Aoyong. He was not a general on the battlefield. He had never had such a miserable experience before, and now his whole body was shattered.

"Dadada..." A team of horse soldiers was desperately trying to make Wang Aoyong, who was like a frightened bird, reflexively asked someone to help him get on the horse, but the person who came was not Chinese and shouted that he knew, it turned out to be the Eight Banners.

As the two sides met, a smile rose on one's face.

At this time, one's own people bump into one, and it doesn't matter whether it's Manchu or Han. It's just one's own people.

The deputy general of the central army breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground, unable to help but look back at the south.

When he was working in the Ming Dynasty, he used to fight with bandits and bandits. Even if he won, the officers and soldiers would focus on looting and plundering rather than hunting down the defeated bandits. But this time, the Zheng army was not only accompanied by like a shadow, but also was too durable and lasting.

Naturally, they didn't know that Zheng Zhilong had already dispersed the horse soldiers in his hands, and used a team of hundreds of people to drive away the fleeing defeated soldiers everywhere, then gathered them together, and then drove them out by the brigade of infantry. If anyone could not escape, they would be cut off or sent to the prisoner camp.

Along the way, the defeated Qing army soldiers could occasionally hear screams before death behind them. Especially after it was dark, the screams in the darkness and the loud shouts of killing brought great fear to the defeated Qing army soldiers. They did not dare to stop and had no time to judge how many people were behind them.

Not to mention the Green Banners, the Eight Banners soldiers led by Haoge were in chaos.

Of course, Haoge knew that this would not work, so he gained a foothold on the banks of the Daqing River, captured defeated soldiers, and tried to fight with the Zheng army again, repelling the Zheng army's pursuit. As a result, the Green Flag soldiers did not dare to fight at all. The Zheng army only roving guns, and the tens of thousands of Green Flags stopped by Haoge flew backwards. Instead, the Eight Banners had to chop and kill each other, and then stabilized their positions.

After they finally managed to deal with the defeated soldiers, Zheng Jun formed a formation and pressed over again. As a result, there was no need to say much. You could know just by looking at the fleeing Eight Banners soldiers in front of you.

Both sides complained about their identities, and the Eight Banners soldiers showed courtesy to Wang Aoyong. After all, the status of the two sides is very different. Even if they are bannermen, they are far from Wang Aoyong's identity. The biggest among them is Niu Lu Zhangjing!

After a long period of hard work, sit down and rest. It is naturally good to have enough time to rest, but if the time is short, it will only have the opposite effect. It is better to keep walking slowly.

Just like now, when horse hooves and shouts of killing came from behind, Wang Aoyong was immediately helped and climbed onto the horse with great pain in his bones.

"Oh no, run, the Nanman is here again!"

Seeing another pursuer approaching behind him, a Mongolian flag soldier shouted. Suddenly, everyone went to pull the horse, but no one was ready to stop it, and no one even dared to see how many people were behind him.

From top to bottom, everyone is determined to escape.

Wang Aoyong is almost sixty years old, but he can still grit his teeth and hold on. His body is good enough. But he is also sighing. When will this escape end?
