Chapter 477: A Brilliant Move


However, Zheng Sanhu did not order the withdrawal of troops.

So much has been lost now.

If we withdraw, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

He decided to make a desperate move and gather all his troops for an attack.

This is a bit like the psychology of a gambler.

The more you lose, the more you want to make it back.

I fantasize about being able to play hard, but the reality is that I often lose all my money.

Zheng Sanhu is indeed a man with a lot of experience in commanding troops.

He understands that the entrance to the water village is narrow, and if he wants to unleash the maximum power of the navy, the entrance to the water village must be blown open.

So he ordered to change the target of the bombardment, and all the guns of the Fuchuan were aimed at the gate of the water village.

With an order, the artillery roared, and countless lead bullets flew to the water village gate.

Although the hit rate of the Fran cannon is not very high at this distance, it can't stand it and shoots too much.

Zheng Sanhu bet all his resources on this battle, hoping to break through the village gate and kill all the imperial troops in the water village in one fell swoop.

But the effect was not as good as he thought.

The gate of the water village was blown open, but when the naval warship advanced, it was discovered that the previously sunk Fuchuan sank just near the gate of the water village.

And with the draft of Zheng's navy's large fortune ship, it is impossible to pass through this water area.

The situation was very embarrassing for a while.

Zheng Sanhu finally worked hard to blast open the village gate, but he was unable to enter the water village.

Everything he did before seemed so useless.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt, and a mouthful of blood spurted out as his blood rushed to his heart.

His soldiers on the ship were all panicked.

The general of the two armies facing each other has fainted.

How can we fight this battle?

At least until Zheng Sanhu wakes up, he will definitely be unable to fight.

As a last resort, the rebels had to retreat to make long-term plans.

Zheng Chenggong did not expect that the rebels would retreat.

So much so that he didn't seize the best opportunity to pursue.

You must know that although the draft of a large Fuzhou boat cannot pass through the waters near Shuizhaizhaimen, small boats such as Changzhou and Kuaixi can.

In other words, the rebels could not get in, but the Denglai Navy could pursue them out.

But he missed the best opportunity and Zheng Chenggong had to give up the pursuit.

It was beyond Zheng Chenggong's expectation that the battle situation was so stalemate.

He found that Zheng Sanhu was much more difficult to deal with than the last battle on Jiushan Island.

Naturally, the strength of the Zheng family navy does not need to be described.

Even though the Denglai Navy had the right time, place, and people, it was only a 50-50 fight.

Zheng Chenggong was responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Denglai Navy, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly.

You must know that the Zheng Navy is best at fighting gangs and fighting back in adversity.

If we take it lightly, the court is likely to suffer.

So Zheng Chenggong decided to take a long-term approach.

He also pays attention to the larger battle situation.

General Huang Degong seemed to have gained an overall advantage, while his father had been passively beaten.

This was a good thing, but Zheng Chenggong felt very heavy.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like when his father was defeated, captured, and escorted to the capital.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like when father and son met again.

It's easy to say it's easy to say it's true, but it's so hard to do it.

After all, that man was the father who gave birth to him and raised him.

On the other side is the court, the king and father, and righteousness.

The most painful thing in the world is to make a choice between them.

Zheng Chenggong is only glad that he did not directly confront his father.

Huang Degong and General Huang did it for him.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare imagine it Nanjing Forbidden City, East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Cixiang was looking at several battle reports from Jiangxi while looking at the map in trance.

From the beginning, he paid great attention to the Battle of Jiangxi.

First of all, this is a good opportunity to eliminate the power of Zheng Zhilong and King Gui in one fell swoop.

Secondly, it can also give the new army recruited by Yuan Jixian a good temper.

After all, veterans are made in battles, not in training.

Only soldiers who have seen blood are real soldiers.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Zhu Cixiang would not dare to let go of the Northern Expedition without solving this serious problem.

Judging from the current battle situation, the imperial army has an advantage across the board.

Both King Gui's rebels and Zheng Zhilong's navy were beaten to a point where they could hardly resist.

Of course, this was because the soldiers of the three armies sacrificed their lives, but it was also because King Gui and Zheng Zhilong defied heaven and lost all their hearts.

Zhu Cixi heard that there had been a mutiny in King Gui's army, and King Gui actually ordered a severe suppression of it.

All the mutinous soldiers were executed, and their heads were transported back to Guangzhou and hung on the city wall for public display.

I really don’t know how King Gui did such an unpopular move.

As for Zheng Zhilong, it's not much better.

From the moment he openly raised his troops, more and more people within the Zheng family opposed him.

Although Zheng Zhilong imprisoned all these people.

But some people still managed to escape.

According to a secret report from the Military Intelligence Department of the Internal Factory in Ningbo, Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother Zheng Hongkui is now hiding in Ningbo Water Village.

This Zheng Hongkui can be considered a figure, and his status in the Zheng family is second only to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong's ability to force Zheng Hongkui away is enough to prove the deep conflicts within the Zheng family.

Although Zheng Zhilong cannot be said to have betrayed his family at the moment, he is not much better.

And the imperial court naturally occupies the absolute right.

What Zhu Cihong has done since he ascended the throne has been seen by all the people in the world.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that such an emperor with both civil and military skills is comparable to Yao and Shun, but there is absolutely no problem in saying that he is the master of ZTE.

As for King Gui and Zheng Zhilong, what did they do for the Ming Dynasty?

Why should they compete with Zhu Cixiang for who gave them the courage?

Zhu Cixiang's eyes fell on the location of Guangzhou.

There is no doubt that the location of King Gui's lair is the next step for the Ming army to capture.

Taking this place will not only greatly destroy the morale of the rebels, but also allow the Ming army to complete the encirclement of Zheng Zhilong.

Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang.

At least from land, Zheng Zhilong was completely surrounded.

He had no choice but to flee across the sea.

Zhu Cixiang's ambition was naturally not just to drive Zheng Zhilong to the sea.

But it is a crucial step.

Most of Taiwan today is still in the hands of the Dutch.

If Zheng Zhilong is forced to leave Fujian, then they are likely to compete with the Dutch for a place to stay.

This is of course what Zhu Cixiang wants to see.

The current strength of the imperial navy is not enough to defeat the Dutch.

But Zheng's navy can.

It would indeed be a good choice for Ming Dynasty if it could use Zheng Zhilong's help to regain Taiwan.

The Ming Dynasty could take advantage of the conflict between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch to go north, and then turn around and attack Zheng Zhilong after restoring his homeland in the Central Plains.

By then, the navy of the imperial court will be stronger, and it will be easy to defeat Zheng Zhilong, who is in a corner.

This is the direction in which Zhu Cixiang most hopes that things will develop.

As for whether it will really develop in this direction, I am not sure
