Liu Liangzuo's face looked a little solemn.
According to his original plan, after taking Jining Prefecture, he would go north along the canal and go straight to Linqing.
But now, not only did Jining Prefecture fail to be captured, but a lot of troops were lost.
It's really a waste of money, losing the wife and losing the army.
But now that the rebellion has been launched, there is no turning back, so we can only bite the bullet and continue on.
After a battle with the Yongwu Battalion of the Shence Army, Liu Liangzuo discovered that this new army that had just been trained by the imperial court was far stronger than he had imagined.
Linqing is far more important than Jining Prefecture, and the number of officers and soldiers stationed there will only be more than Jining Prefecture.
It would be unwise to rush north at this time.
If you don't continue to Linqing, you can't stay where you are.
The army pursued by the imperial court is probably already on the road, and if you continue to stay here, you will be waiting for death.
With a strong enemy in front and pursuers behind him, Liu Liangzuo couldn't think of a good way for a while.
"Otherwise, let's just turn around and go to Denglai."
Liu Zeqing's eyes sharpened and he said loudly.
"Denglai" Liu Liangzuo was stunned.
"Since the land route is not possible, we will take the sea route."
After all, Liu Zeqing had served as the general soldier of Shandong and knew the overall situation in Shandong very well.
"Today, in order to prevent the Qing army from moving south, the imperial court will definitely deploy heavy troops in Dezhou.
In comparison, the troops in Denglai direction will definitely be very weak."
Liu Zeqing paused for a moment and continued: "Didn't Kong Youde and others surrender to the Qing Dynasty in Fuhai, Dengzhou?
Now we only need to go to Tianjin, the journey is closer."
“Wonderful, wonderful” After Liu Zeqing's analysis, Liu Liangzuo also felt that going to Dengzhou and taking the sea route to Tianjin was a very good choice.
The imperial court would never have predicted that they would suddenly change direction and head east.
But not long after he got excited, he frowned and said, "But are there so many ships in Dengzhou now?"
Thirty thousand people is not a small number.
It would take a thousand ships to load all these people into the ship.
This would certainly not be a problem if the Denglai Navy was first established during the Tianqi years.
But now that the Denglai Navy no longer exists, Liu Liangzuo is worried that there are not enough ships in Dengzhou for them to escape by sea.
"There may not be that many warships, but there are fishing boats."
Liu Zeqing chuckled and said: "We are not fighting a naval battle.
We can ride on any ship."
Yes, they were only on this trip to escape for their lives.
It didn't matter whether it was a warship or not.
If there are not enough warships, just grab fishing boats.
Liu Liangzuo doesn't believe it.
Dengzhou can't get enough boats for 30,000 people.
"Okay, then it's settled.
Brother Zeqing, let's go to Dengzhou."
"Your Majesty, good news, good news."
Zhu Cixiang was reading a memorial sent from Ji'an Prefecture in Jiangxi Province, when Liu Chuanzong, the eunuch and eunuch Liu Chuanzong, the eunuch of the ceremony, ran in ecstatically.
It was rare for Zhu Cixiang to see Liu Chuanzong lose his temper like this.
He put down the memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice: "But he is from Shandong."
Zhu Cihong thought that Huang Degong and Shence Army worked together to defeat Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, and thought that this was nothing.
Is there any need to be so excited?
"Your Majesty, the good news is not from Shandong, but from Henan, Henan.
Kaifeng has been restored, and Kaifeng has won a great victory."

Liu Chuanzong knelt on the ground, raised the victory message high above his head and said: "My slave, congratulations to the emperor, Kaifeng has been restored."
Zhu Cixiang's heart moved.
Not long ago, Gao Jie had just killed Xu Dingguo of Suizhou, and it had only been ten days since he captured Kaifeng.
Zhu Cixi expected that the Qing army would be weak in Henan, but he did not expect it to be so weak.
No matter how you say it, Kaifeng is a big city second only to Luoyang.
Gao Jie captured Kaifeng so easily, which proves that the Qing army really does not have many troops in Henan.
Zhu Cihong picked up the memorial and opened it to read.
The more he read, the more delighted he became.
It turned out that Gao Jie used the gunpowder method secretly taught by Zhu Cixiang when he attacked Kaifeng.
Facts have proved that this improved version of the hole attack method is very effective.
According to the original words in Gao Jie's memorial: the wall of Kaifeng City collapsed in more than ten places.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Gao Jie's memorial was exaggerated.
But Zhu Cixiang won’t.
Because only he knows best the power of gunpowder to blow up a city.
When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Nanjing, they used black gunpowder to blow up the city wall, which could not be blasted by red cannons, and thus occupied Nanjing.
Although Kaifeng is also a majestic city, its city wall is definitely not as strong as Nanjing.
Since the city wall of Nanjing can be blown open, it is not surprising that the city wall of Kaifeng was blown open in more than a dozen places.
Although Zhu Cixiang knew the power of black powder to explode the city, he had not tested it in actual combat.
This time Gao Jie used this method to win Kaifeng, which was a reassurance for Zhu Cixiang.
In addition to reporting his victory, Gao Jie also asked the emperor in a frightened tone whether to continue his march north.
Zhu Cixi was still very satisfied with this.
It is rare for Gao Jie to be able to not be domineering during a great victory and put the court and the emperor first.
It doesn't matter whether he really thinks so in his heart, as long as he does it to save face, he deserves praise.
The Northern Expedition will of course continue.
With just one gram of Kaifeng, Luoyang, Huaiqing, and Weihui can all be captured.
If northern Henan is captured, Shandong and Henan can be connected together.
Even if the Qing Dynasty captured Shanxi and Guanzhong, these provinces alone would not be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty, which controlled half of the world.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang was not blindly optimistic and believed that Gao Jie could plow through the courtyard, sweep holes, attack Huanglong, and regain Shenjing.
Although the main force of the Qing army was transferred to attack Shanxi and Shaanxi, there must still be a lot of troops left near the capital.
Because Emperor Shunzhi had moved the capital, Dorgon and Hauge were also there, and at least tens of thousands of elites were stationed in the capital.
These people are not the Green Camp Army, but Manchurian elite soldiers, and they are still very strong.
In addition, Henan and other places have to divide their troops for garrison.
Even if Gao Jie reaches the capital, he will be at the end of his battle.
Once the front line is extended, there will be problems with the supply of food and fodder.
Gao Jie defeated the Qing with exhausted troops, but he could not gain any advantage.
Of course, it is possible to try to push the troops to the outskirts of Beijing.
This can deter the Manchu Qing court and make them take action.
"One pull of gold, hey, two pulls of silver, hey, three pulls, the jewels are shining, the sea is worthy of the fish people.
How can you be afraid of the wind when you punt, and don't care about the red sun when you are basking in the sun.
If you want to touch the pearls and undersea drills, you have to fish for the big fish.
Raise the awning.”
Early in the morning, the fishermen who went to Hongluo Bay in the state capital shouted fishing songs at the top of their voices and went out to fish.
For fishermen, eating from the sea is a matter of course.
Although fishing at sea is very difficult, fishermen call it the ten evil spirits: the so-called wind scares evil spirits, but there is no wind to shake evil spirits; there is rain evil evil, which causes violent hunger; hot days are hot, and cold weather is freezing; two feet are running evil, and shoulder blades are evil.
Pick the evil spirit; the three bars pull the evil spirit, and the old and the young cry.
