The Nanjing General Affairs Department received an urgent notice from Dengzhou today.
According to the usual practice, the priority of this important town is the highest, and someone will be sent to the palace immediately.
The officials of the General Affairs Department did not dare to neglect and immediately sent people to deliver the memorial to the cabinet.
After receiving the memorial, the cabinet did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to the emperor's palace.
Zhu Cixiang was handling official duties in Nuan Pavilion as usual today, and the accompanying young eunuch stood respectfully behind him.
The distance was not too far or too close, and he could respond immediately if the emperor had any orders.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the hall, and subconsciously turned his head to look.
"Dengzhou Urgent Play" The errand boy raised his voice high above his head and said in a slightly high-pitched voice.
The accompanying young eunuch quickly ran over to take the memorial, and then carefully turned it back.
"Your Majesty, we have come to Dengzhou for urgent report."
Zhu Cixiang was slightly startled and put down the ink pen in his hand.
"Read it to me."
Those who can accompany the emperor before his arrival are all those who have studied in the inner library of the palace.
Literacy is not a problem at all.
The accompanying young eunuch then read out the contents of the rapid recital exactly.
Zhu Cixiang didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, his face as solemn as a pool of stagnant water.
The little eunuch was also frightened, fearing that the emperor would be angry with him because of what was mentioned in the memorial.
"Zheng Zhilong Tonglu is now confirmed."
Zhu Cixiang sighed and shook his head helplessly.
The Denglai Navy accidentally intercepted a grain transport ship bound for Tianjin.
The pirates on board were all ordered by Zheng Zhilong to do this job.
Zheng Chenggong intercepted the ship as a member of the Denglai Navy.
What a twist of fate.
What is commendable is that Zheng Chenggong chose to side with the court's justice and signed the memorial to Denglai Governor Zhang Kentang impeaching Zheng Zhilong.
In this way, Zheng Chenggong can be regarded as stating his position between his family and the country.
It is a pity that Zheng Chenggong's status in the Zheng family is not high now, and his statement cannot have much impact on the Zheng family.
Zhu Cixiang had to find another way to solve Zheng Zhilong's problem.
He had previously issued a decree ordering the provinces bordering Fujian to strictly prohibit the sale of grain to Zheng Zhilong.
But this is only a stopgap measure.
As long as Zheng Zhilong wanted to, he could buy grain from Nanyang and transport it to Tianjin.
The sea is vast and it is impossible to simply rely on the Denglai navy to block it.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties will definitely receive food supplies.
As long as the Manchu army has food to eat, they will not panic and will continue to stay in the north.
This seems to be a dead end Zhu Cixiang just felt a headache.
The only way seemed to be to directly plow through the holes and capture Fujian.
Without his lair, Zheng Zhilong's cost of transporting food would increase, and the Ming army would be better able to target it.
It seems that once the southwest is pacified, Fujian will make some moves.
Escaped, finally escaped.
Zhang Dingguo let out a sigh of relief.
The ambush laid by the Ming army was very tight.
There were countless times when he thought that he would not be able to break through, so he just wanted to pull in a few more backstops.
Unexpectedly, the division of troops to break out at the last moment had a miraculous effect, and he really led his troops to rush out.
I don’t know what’s going on with Wenxiu.
Although Zhang Dingguo is not very satisfied with Zhang Wenxiu's recent domineering behavior, the two are in the same camp after all, and Zhang Dingguo does not want to see any surprises to Zhang Wenxiu.
This is a critical moment to conquer the world, and everyone needs to play their role fully.

For the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Dingguo was still willing to put up with Zhang Wenxiu's bad temper for the time being.
Of course, he would not immediately rush back to rescue Zhang Wenxiu.
Not only could these people under him not be able to save Zhang Wenxiu, but he himself would also have to help.
According to the agreement between the two of them before they broke out, whoever rushed out first should collect the defeated troops immediately and then turn back to rescue them.
Zhang Dingguo took the lead and led his soldiers back along the original road.
Seeing that many soldiers of the Western Army were still busy picking up copper coins, Zhang Dingguo gritted his teeth angrily.
Have these people never seen money?
They don't even care about military discipline just for some money.
No wonder that as they chased the Ming army, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them.
It turned out that they were just picking up money.
Of course, this was not the time to lose his temper.
Zhang Dingguo ordered his soldiers to gather and reorganize the soldiers who were scattered everywhere picking up money, and then turned around and killed them back.
He had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was still confident that he could rescue Zhang Wenxiu from the Ming army's siege.
But when he led his troops to fight back, he found that the battle was already over.
The soldiers of the Ming Army beheaded the heads of the Daxi Army officers and put them on bamboo poles for public display.
The distance was quite far, so Zhang Dingguo couldn't see clearly whether Zhang Wenxiu's head was among them, but his eyes widened with anger.
At this moment, he wished he could give the order and fight with the Ming army.
But reason told him that he still had to endure it.
After all, the Ming army had an advantage in numbers.
If it was to save Zhang Wenxiu, they could still give it a try.
But now that Zhang Wenxiu's life and death are unknown, it seems a bit unworthy of him to lead his brothers into battle like this.
After all, these are the elites of the Great Western Army.
If they are all left here, how can he explain to Zhang Xianzhong?
Zhang Dingguo held the horse's rein tightly and hesitated for a moment before turning the horse's head in the direction of Chuxiong Mansion.
Now Kunming obviously can't stay any longer, so it's better to return to Chuxiong Mansion first and then make further calculations.
The chieftain of northern Yunnan has always paid close attention to the developments in Kunming.
What an eventful year it has been.
First there was the Yuanmou Chieftain's rebellion, and then there was the Shadingzhou Rebellion.
Immediately afterwards, even the Western bandits also entered the Yunnan territory to get a share of the pie.
The whole of Yunnan has become a mess.
It seems that the dispute is no longer between the Duke of Guizhou and Sha Dingzhou, but has evolved into a showdown between the imperial court and Zhang Xianzhong.
Both the imperial court and Zhang Xianzhong wanted to take this opportunity to gain actual control over Yunnan.
No matter who wins in the end, Yunnan will probably undergo big changes.
Needless to say, Zhang Xianzhong won the victory.
They will definitely strengthen their control over Yunnan and even gradually transfer their troops from Sichuan to Yunnan.
If the imperial court wins, it will naturally intervene in the specific affairs of Yunnan.
You must know that these affairs were previously handled by a group of chieftains headed by Duke Qian.
But now that there is such a big mess, the court has every reason to intervene.
The reason is very simple.
If you can't manage it well, I will take care of it for you.
The chieftains in northern Yunnan publicly expressed their support for Mu Tianbo at the beginning.
But soon they discovered that Mu Tianbo did not have the strength to put down the rebellion, and they themselves became homeless dogs and needed to be taken care of by others.
So they now need to find a new direction to place their bets.
Qin Liangyu, or Zhang Wenxiu or Zhang Dingguo, represented the imperial court.
The earlier this bet is placed, the more advantageous it will be.

If it is placed late, you may not even be able to get the leftover soup and water from other people's drinks
