Chapter 306: Zheng Zhilong Riding the Wall (Second Update!) )


"Your Majesty, I suggest sending Sichuan white pole soldiers to quell the rebellion."

Lu Zhenfei said word by word.

Zhu Cixiang's body trembled slightly, he took a deep breath and said, "Go on."

"Your Majesty, the original army of Chongqing and Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and other troops brought by Governor Wen need to fight against the traitors and should not be moved lightly.

The only available troops in Sichuan are white pole soldiers.

Your Majesty might as well issue an edict to Mrs.

Qin, ordering them to Call on your children to actively join the army.”

Lu Zhenfei finished speaking in one breath, clasping his hands and respectfully waiting for Zhu Cixiang to make a decision.

Zhu Cixiang fell into silence.

It's not that he has never thought about using white-pole soldiers, but after so many years of conquest, how many more disciples can the Qin and Ma families draw?

The so-called Sichuan white pole soldiers refer to Shi Ding soldiers.

Qin Liangyu was from Zhongzhou, Sichuan, and his husband Ma Qiancheng was the hereditary Shili Xuanwei envoy, also known as chieftain.

Although they are both chieftains, the Qin and Ma families are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Whenever the court has needs, Qin Liangyu will make his brothers and nephews respond positively.

During the Bozhou Rebellion and the She'an Rebellion, soldiers from the Qin and Ma families followed the imperial court to suppress the rebellion.

White-pole soldiers were also present in various battles including the bloody battle of Hunhe River, the fight against Zhang Xianzhong, and the battles in which King Qin went to Beijing to fight against the Qing army.

War after war caused heavy losses to the sons and nephews of the Qin and Ma families, so much so that when Qin Gongming went to Dezhou, Shandong, he could only have 500 white soldiers with him.

At that time, Zhu Cixiang really couldn't bear to see such loyal subjects dying on the battlefield again, so he did not issue any strict orders to Qin Gongming and allowed him to recruit troops on his own in Dezhou.

Later, Qin Liangyu came to Nanjing, and Zhu Cixiang also vigorously promoted her loyalty to the court, and even ordered her to give lectures at the Huangming Military Academy to cultivate the patriotism of Huangming's promising young people.

But Zhu Cixiang never thought of letting the Qin family and the Ma family bleed again for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, they had shed too much blood for Daming.

But Lu Zhenfei's words made him shaken.

Although the Ming Dynasty army had just won a great victory in Shandong and forced Doduo to retreat, the situation was far from good enough to celebrate.

There is Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan who is eyeing him, and there are frequent rebellions in Yunnan.

If it is not handled well, it is likely to start a prairie fire.

Zhu Cihong and the gods fought for a long time and finally made up their minds.

"I will summon Mrs.

Qin alone to discuss this matter with her."

Zhu Cixiang sighed: "The reason why I chose to use white pole soldiers to fight the rebellion in Yunnan was because of the mountainous terrain in Yunnan.

The white pole soldiers are good at fighting in mountainous areas, so there is no adaptability problem in going to Yunnan to counter the rebellion."

Lu Zhenfei was overjoyed when he heard this.

He bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Before leaving Beijing, Hong Chengchou told Dorgon that he would send one of his personal followers to Fujian to instigate rebellion against Zheng Zhilong, and asked the regent to pay attention to the matter.

Now Dorgon is really looking forward to this person.

Dorgon immediately ordered people to bring Hong Chengchou's personal entourage to the palace for personal questioning.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, Dorgon dismissed all his minions, leaving him and Duoduo alone in the room.

After hearing what had happened, Dorgon was overjoyed and ordered the Hongfu official who reported the news to leave and receive the reward.

It turned out that although the old fox Zheng Zhilong did not agree to directly launch a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, he tactfully expressed that he could provide the Qing army with the food they needed most.

As for the mode of transportation, of course it is by sea.

The Zheng family has long-term trade relations with Japan, and they can use this as a reason to send a large-scale fleet northward.

As for the delivery location of the grain, Zheng Zhilong suggested Tianjin, because the Zheng family could purchase a batch of goods here before going to Japan for trade.

Of course, the Qing court had to purchase these grains at three times higher than the market price, and they only accepted cash and no credit.

Dorgon didn't think there was any problem with this.

The most indispensable thing in the Qing Dynasty today is money.

The grain he purchased through Shanxi merchants was five times the market price.

Zheng Zhilong's price of three times the market price was completely acceptable.

Now Dorgon's biggest worry is that he can't buy food if he has money.

The emergence of Zheng Zhilong perfectly solves this problem.

The original bad mood because of Shandong's failure to win was gone.

Dorgon now wanted to laugh, want to laugh wildly.

Destiny is ultimately on the side of the Qing Dynasty.

"Old Fifteen, what do you think?"

Dorgon turned to Dodo and asked with dignity.

Duduo chuckled and said: "Brother Fourteen, what am I talking about?

This is called the road of heaven and earth.

Now that we are short of food, Zheng Zhilong will get up on the pole and come over.

Now you don't have to rush to Shandong, right?

Let’s take a good rest first, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Zhang Xianzhong fight the dog.”

Dorgon got angry when he saw Duduo looking so complacent.

He glared at him and said, "You are so lucky.

If it weren't for Zheng Zhilong, how would you go to North Korea and Mobei to scrape the land?

You are just digging three feet into the ground."

How much can be dug out?”

"Brother Fourteen, why do you always say depressing words?

I led the troops to fight anyway.

If it hadn't been for the loser Luck Dehun who was holding us back, Shandong would have been captured long ago.

Azig, on the other hand, didn't even send troops.

He ran away.

Go to the grassland to grab horses.

If you don’t tell him, he’s talking about me.”

Seeing that Duoduo was still talking back, Duoergon almost lost his breath in anger.

After taking several deep breaths, he calmed down.

Shen Ran said: "I don't want to quarrel with you.

I will leave this matter to you.

If you can't handle it, both crimes will be punished."

"Brother Fourteen, don't worry, I'll take care of things."

Duduo patted his chest and promised: "However, can you ask Zheng Zhilong to send some shipbuilding craftsmen over?

I heard that when I went to attack Dezhou this time, Denglai's army was depleted.

If there is a navy that can make a surprise attack Dengzhou, maybe we can take Shandong directly.”

Dorgon squinted his eyes slightly and savored Dodo's words carefully.

Duduo's suggestion is not unreasonable.

The importance of navy is self-evident.

When they were in Liaodong, the Eight Banners Army suffered losses from Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong occupied Pidao and other islands and adopted guerrilla tactics against the Eight Banners Army, which made the Eight Banners Army exhausted.

Often the Eight Banners Army had just arrived at the place where Mao Wenlong was causing trouble, and Mao Wenlong, who had received the news in advance, got on the boat and ran away.

The Eight Banners Army could only look back and sigh, being fooled again and again.

If Yuan Chonghuan hadn't killed Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town would have fallen apart, and the Qing army's situation in Liaodong would never have been as good as it was later.

As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes.

Dorgon naturally did not want to be completely defeated in the water battle.

He has realized that the duel with the Ming army cannot be decided in a month or two, so developing the navy is very important.

"The question is, is Zheng Zhilong willing?"

There is no doubt that Zheng Zhilong is sitting on the fence now.

He neither betrays the Ming Dynasty openly nor breaks up with the Qing Dynasty.

The reason why he is willing to sell grain to the Qing Dynasty is because it is profitable.

But what is the purpose of sending the shipwright to the Qing Dynasty?
