Chapter 454 Suzhou City

"Don't worry about giving the delivery to General Nelson." Chen Jisheng, Xu Ji and Chang Yi said one after another.

Not only these old bosses of the Army Department, but also the Ming generals like Cao Youyi also admired Nelson very much after coming. He also vaguely heard some gossips in the Jiuzhou Army and knew that although Nelson rarely showed up and acted in a low-key manner, his actual power may be second only to the military leader Chu Yun, and he is the second person in the Jiuzhou Army and the master of the ocean part!

"The two fleets of the Navy Department are coming to transport us. Which fleet should the Marine Brigade be deployed? The Nanyang Fleet?" asked Changyi, who was more cautious.

"No, the Nanyang Fleet has their mission. In fact, the Marine Brigade was already sent to Songjiang Prefecture when you followed the army leader to attack the capital. They captured Songjiang Prefecture, attacking Suzhou and blocking the Nanming Army from Hangzhou." Zheng Zhilong said, "If you were later, they might have to attack Zhenjiang City and Nanjing City."

Chen Jisheng, Cao Youyi and others were shocked.

Cao Youyi was calm for the strength of the Jiuzhou Army! The naval marine brigade only had 5,000 people, and actually fought on the two fronts of the hinterland of the Nanming! At least tens of thousands of Nanming troops could be summoned in the Jiangnan region, and it is very likely that the Nanming troops in Fujian and Huguang areas would also reinforce Suzhou. The Naval Marine brigade might be surrounded by 100,000 Nanming troops at any time! But no matter how you hear Zheng Zhilong's tone, the Jiuzhou Army did not seem to be worried about the safety of this naval marine brigade that penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and instead was worried about whether the Nanming troops in Nanjing could resist the attack of the Naval Marine brigade.

The focus of Chen Jisheng and others was different from that of Cao Youyi. What they were thinking was that the major military achievements of capturing the capital of the previous dynasty would be the first to be taken over by the Navy, which made them very worried.

"Please send us to Jiangnan as soon as possible!" Xu Ji and other army officers were ready to rub their hands, looking like they could not hold back.

Delivering 9,000 infantry to the Jiangnan region at one time, such a large-scale delivery was already something that the Jiuzhou Army could do with all its efforts.

Chu Yun's ambition was to destroy the Dashun regime and the Nanming regime at the same time, so that China could be reunified!

The army officers stimulated by the Navy began to urge the low-level officers and soldiers under their command to count the supplies faster and then board the warships provided by the Shanghai Military Department.

It was the first time that Tianjin General Cao Youyi boarded the Jiuzhou Army's warship. He was riding on Zheng Zhilong's main sail battleship Dachu.

When he stepped on the wide deck of the Dachu, he couldn't tell the feeling of the cold cannons set up on the deck. The Ming Dynasty he was loyal to was destroyed by these cannons. After all, Li Zicheng was still a firearm supported by the Jiuzhou Army.

"What are you thinking?" Zheng Zhilong walked over with great enthusiasm.

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to Chu Yun, although he could not do whatever he wanted as a ship king, his status was very high, and his commanded fleet was much stronger than the pirate army like before. If he was not the leader, many troubles that needed to consider the overall situation were left to Chu Yun to bear. Zheng Zhilong only needed to take good care of his family and concentrate on fighting. Chu Yun also delegated power to let them fight in the Navy headquarters without much interference at the tactical level. Such days made Zheng Zhilong live a happy life.

"I was wondering why our Ming Dynasty would perish." Cao Youyi looked into the direction of the capital and said in a low voice.

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty have become terrible from the bottom. Even if they are destroyed, what does it have to do with the people of the world? If the upper class is changed, the world will be the world of the world. As long as the new successor can ask for the people and benefit the people of the world more than the previous one, then it will be a blessing for the world." Zheng Zhilong said indifferently.

"You are talking about it. The fall of the capital city is the emperor and the capital officials. A young general like me escaped the disaster." Cao Youyi said.

"Don't think too much. Join our Jiuzhou Army. Our journey is the sea of ​​stars. It is a big deal to attack Nanjing City thousands of miles away. In the future, we will build the Jiuzhou and own ten times the land and ocean that is ten times that of the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong patted Cao Youyi on the shoulder vigorously.

Cao Youyi knew the ambitions of the Jiuzhou Army, and after seeing more, he became no longer surprised.

The city of Suzhou, thousands of miles away, was panicked. The officials, guards and people in this famous city were all in anxiety from top to bottom. Because the sentries outside the city had discovered traces of the Jiuzhou Army.

The Marine Brigade divided two thousand troops to attack Suzhou City, putting pressure on the Hongguang regime in Nanjing.

This caused the prosperous Suzhou City to suffer unrestrained disaster. The prosperous commercial capital insisted on blocking between Songjiang Prefecture and Nanjing City, becoming the target of attack for the Marine Brigade to seek more military merits.

Now Liu Wang of the Marine Brigade divided the troops into two parts, partly blocking the reinforcements from Hangzhou and Ningbo from the Southern Ming Dynasty in the southern part of Songjiang, and partly attacking Suzhou City. Liu Wang personally took charge of the two parts of the troops and calmly dispatched the two troops.

There are three forces that can reinforce the Nanming regime in Nanjing. One is the Jiangbei soldiers from the four towns in Jiangbei, the other is the Two Lake soldiers in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the other is the Jiangsu-Zhejiang soldiers in the Suzhou-Hangzhou and Ningbo! Liu Wang's naval marine brigade is an attitude of attacking Suzhou and Hangzhou, attracting Jiangsu-Zhejiang soldiers on the Suzhou-Hangzhou battlefield!

The Southern Ming Army in the four towns in Jiangbei and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River blocked the lower reaches of the Yangtze River by two fleets, the Beiyang Fleet and the Zhili Fleet. No army can break through the wide Yangtze River surface under the blockade of these two powerful fleets!

"Master, the traces of the Jiuzhou Army have appeared outside the city. Our Jiangsu city has always been prosperous and stable, but it must not be destroyed by war."

The shadow of the Navy and Marine Brigade soldiers had just appeared outside Suzhou City. The merchants, wealthy families and gentry in Suzhou City could not hold back and came to the mansion of Suzhou Prefect Chen Hongmi to disturb Chen Hongmi early in the morning.

"Don't worry, everyone, there is still a difference between the Jiuzhou Army and the Dashun bandits. I believe that they should be able to sit down calmly and discuss with us. It doesn't have to meet each other." Chen Hongmi comforted everyone.

The merchants, wealthy families, and gentry present were not something he could afford, and he was not much more willing than the Jiuzhou army outside.

"What should we use to negotiate with the Jiuzhou Army? Originally, most of our merchants had trade with the Jiuzhou Army. This war was great, so we had to bear the loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver every day. The longer the war lasted, the heavier our losses would be!" A representative of a large merchant said dissatisfiedly.

As the Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants got closer and closer to the Jiuzhou Army, they were influenced by the Jiuzhou Army and began to become tough. And who did not have the Ming officials behind these Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants? Even the backstage of many merchants was the senior officials in Nanjing!
