Zheng Zhilong, who had no intention of fighting against the Qing court, had already made a secret appointment with the Qing court to surrender.

Wherever the Qing army's troops went, the Zheng family troops stationed at various key passes retreated after hearing the news.

As a result, the Fujian gate opened. In the past few months, the Ming army of Longwu Dynasty had almost no decent battle with the Qing army. The Qing army entered Fujian like traveling around, and the capital of Longwu Dynasty Jianning was easily exposed to the Qing army's military front.

The enemy troops were at the city, and Zhu Youjian finally told Duoduo no longer.

Just the day after Zhu Youjian left Fuzhou, Zheng Zhilong ordered the change of flags and formally returned to the Qing court.

As a result, the entire Fujian region has been lost to the hands of the Qing army.

People at that time sighed, "The demise of Fujing was due to Zheng Zhilong's unification."

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong publicly broke with his father, and resolutely led his troops southward and broke out of the Qing army's sphere of influence.

....

Start sailing from Hangzhou Bay and on the Fuzhou Port Channel.

Along the coastline, hundreds of boats competed and sailed thousands of warships.

Judging from the banner, it is the Daming Dragon Banner that Zhoushan Navy is accustomed to.

The Zhoushan Navy belonged to the Longwu Dynasty and borrowed its name to reinforce. This was a solution that Wu Zheng came up with was not a solution.

After all, there was an armistice agreement with the Qing court, and Wu Zheng did not want to destroy it.

It was not that I wanted to continue to be "friendly" with the Qing court for a long time, but that the situation was pressing. The Northern Expedition had exhausted most of the Mo family's financial resources, and the court was simply unable to support the launch of another large-scale war in the short term.

Faced with enemies who were several times stronger or even dozens of times more powerful than him, Wu Zheng could only choose to sleep on firewood and taste gall.

Wu Zheng led a few troops, including cavalry, infantry and sailors, with a total of only 8,000 people.

There is no way. At this time, the load of only 800 stones is only a few "giant ships" referring to warships, and merchant ships have a load of far more than this.

Unable to load more, and too many people will also arouse the alertness of the Qing court.

More importantly, Wu Zheng’s strategic concept was not to revitalize the Longwu Dynasty. This was impossible. If he did this, he would inevitably face the Zheng Zhilong brothers directly, which was even more inconsistent with the interests of the Qingtai Dynasty and himself.

Wu Zheng just wanted to let the Longwu Dynasty exist and restrain Duoduo for himself, even if it was restrained for another year or two, so that he could have time to train the army and straighten out his internal affairs.

At this time, the ecliptics had become much calmer.

Wu Zhengshouxin led reinforcements south, which made him feel relieved.

But he felt that the number of people was too small.

What can eight thousand people do?

Facing nearly 200,000 enemy troops from two groups, these 8,000 people may not be enough to get stuck in the gaps.

During these two days, Huang Daozhou was bothered by Wu Zheng for this.

Of course, Wu Zheng could not tell him clearly that he had no intention of protecting the Longwu Dynasty at all. He could only explain: "The warships were insufficient and could not carry more troops. In the face of the two threats of the Qing army in Jiangbei and Shaoxing Prefecture, the Qingtai Dynasty could not draw more warships to go south."

Such an explanation naturally cannot deceive Huang Daozhou, but Huang Daozhou also understood that the strength of the Qingtai Dynasty could not risk his attack on his opponents to fight each other and change his position. Huang Daozhou believed that Emperor Longwu and himself would do this like Wu Zheng.

This is understandable.

But Huang Daozhou was sad in his heart. At this time, the royal family could not be united. How could the Ming Dynasty not perish?!

"Duke Zhenguo, please make sure to change your login location."

Looking at this stubborn old man, Wu Zheng was a little annoyed. In the past two days, he had stuck to himself like a rubber candy and kept giving advice. But Wu Zheng knew that in history, this old man was confused by the students of the Qing court and buried tens of thousands of troops in Wuyuan. Even he himself was captured by the Qing army and then killed.

This is also one of the main reasons for the rapid demise of the Longwu Dynasty.

If it weren't for Wu Zheng's appearance, Huang Daozhou went to Yingtian Prefecture for help. At this time, Huang Daozhou had been waiting to die in the prison of the Qing army.

Therefore, Wu Zheng was very disgusted with such people who were not good at military affairs and were to point fingers at his combat strategies and leave professional things to professionals.

Wu Zheng himself rarely participates in the specific operations of the navy. He only indicates strategic goals, so how could he let Huang Daozhou participate in command tactics?

"Sir Huang, you should stay in the cabin and wait for news." Wu Zheng said with a eyebrows, "Come on, escort Master Huang back to the cabin."

"Duke Zhenguo... Zhenguo people, listen to me and finish my words." Huang Daozhou struggled desperately, "I just said one word."

Wu Zheng always respects this old man, and Wu Zheng maintains respect for everyone who sticks to his ideas and fights the Qing Dynasty to the end.

Sighing, Wu Zheng waved his hand to repel the guards, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Huang Daozhou breathed and said, "I have been going north to Yingtian Prefecture for more than a month. When I left Jianning, Your Majesty was vowing to fight in person, but before I arrived at Yingtian Prefecture, I heard that Your Majesty had withdrawn from Jianning. As for the recent war report, the Qing army Li Chengdong's troops had captured Jianyang. Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou looked around and ran to the map on the case, pointed to the map and said, "Jianyang is close to Jianning. From the latest news, we learned that the Zheng family has surrendered to the Qing family. If Your Majesty has not escaped from Jianning, he will be captured by the Qing army. If this is the case, even if Duke Zhenguo goes to Quanzhou and Siming Prefecture lands, he will not be able to rescue my emperor. Then we can only think that Your Majesty will escape from Jianning. In this way, only by changing the landing location can you rescue Your Majesty in time."

Speaking of this, Huang Daozhou burst into tears and knelt down at Wu Zheng, "Although the Duke of Zhenguo is doubtful in his life, Zhenguo also considers himself a clear family and is a royal family. He should watch over and help each other...!"

Wu Zheng was a little moved. When he heard that Jianyang fell and Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Wu Zheng knew in his heart that this trip had no meaning.

Without the support of the Zheng family, Zhu Youjian was nothing.

If you want to achieve the goal of Longwu Dynasty restraining Duoduo for yourself, then this trip is useless.

Wu Zheng wanted to withdraw to Hangzhou at that time.

But first, Huang Daozhou's hard plea, and second, he heard Zheng Chenggong breaking up with his father and heading south.

This ignited a glimmer of hope in Wu Zheng's heart. Zheng Chenggong's deeds against the Qing Dynasty were confirmed by history. If Zhu Youjian could be rescued and Zhu Youjian was safely handed over to Zheng Chenggong, the annihilation of the Longwu Dynasty could be avoided.
