Half a month later, inside Chikan Fort in Tainan.In the middle of the night, when the moon was bright and the stars were dotted, most of the soldiers who returned to Taiwan had already fallen asleep, only the troops patrolling and guarding were still walking around along the coast, and the Dutch on Yi Kun had stayed up for more than half a year and were still holding on.At this time, in the festival hall, the torch was still lit, and Zhao Ming was convening the deployment and discussing secretly.After Zhao Ming returned to Taiwan, the situation in the mainland became clearer.Zhu Yihai was trapped in Xiaolingwei, and there were guards from the East Palace every day, and he escaped to join the imperial court.The more than 100,000 Zhejiang troops gathered in Yangzhou, after the initial righteous indignation, the blood gradually cooled, and the generals began to secretly contact the imperial court.After all, between the Zhejiang system and the imperial court, it is not a sharp contradiction between the enemy and us, but the uneven distribution of internal interests, He Tengjiao tempted him with his official position and money, and many Zhejiang troops saw that Zhu Yihai was trapped, and the Zhejiang army was unable to break the siege, so they began to find another way out.He Tengjiao was good at scheming, he sent people to secretly contact Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen's generals, and wrote empty checks, Xu Luo let these generals take the place of Li Chengdong and Zhang Mingzhen, and promoted them to be the marshal of a town.This is not a surrender to the Manchu Qing, but to submit to the central government, as long as the imperial court can give a certain treatment, the people in the Zhejiang system who are not strong-willed will immediately shake the hearts of the people, there are already two general soldiers, left Yangzhou, and took refuge in the imperial court.At this time, judging from the news obtained by Zhao Ming, after Zhu Yihai was trapped, the Zhejiang army was already leaderless, and it would not be long before it fell apart.After Zhao Ming saw the information, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, although he decided to intervene, but he didn't have much chance of winning, and he didn't know how to start for a while."
The current situation is clear to everyone.Although the clan has returned to the division, how can it turn the situation around?
”Zhao Ming asked in a deep voice.Tang Tong frowned and said: "At this time, the heart of the Zhejiang army is shaken, and the key is to stabilize the army's heart. ”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "If this domain directly raises troops and plays the banner of the Qing monarch's side, the imperial court will immediately be convicted of our rebellion, and the army besieging Xiaoling will have an excuse to attack, and His Royal Highness will be in danger." ”Gu Yanwu said: "The imperial court has not lost the hearts of the people now, the world is co-ruled by the emperor, and there is no decree to abolish the prince, we will kill Nanjing, first of all, the army of the imperial court will resist desperately, secondly, it is difficult to gain the support of the world, and finally there is the northern Manchu Qing Dynasty eyeing the tiger, I am afraid of repeating the defeat of the Zuozhen East Rebellion." ”Now the strength of the Longwu court is strong, Shun, Jin Shenghuan, and Zheng Chenggong all obey the orders of the court, and even Sun Kewang got the prince, and he also wrote a letter of thanks, expressing his obedience to the emperor's orders.Now this half of the country, most of them belong to the imperial court, Fang Guoan rebelled, after the Zhejiang system lost Zhejiang, only the three prefectures of Jiangbei and the three prefectures of Jiangdong remained, a total of six prefectures, and the territory was less than one province, even if Donghai Town relied on the advantage of equipment to achieve one or two victories, but it was difficult to defeat the imperial court later.Zhao Ming groaned for a while, his eyes swept over everyone, fell on Xia Wanchun, and suddenly asked, "What is Xiao Yin's opinion?"
”Xia Wanchun stood up and clenched his fists solemnly, "Guogong, the lower officials think that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, they must first get rid of the first traitor. ”Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "You mean to solve Fang Guoan?"
”Xia Wanchun nodded, and said hatefully: "Yes, Fang Guoan was originally a marshal of the Zhejiang department, and he was deeply trusted by His Highness, but he betrayed the marshal.If it weren't for him, His Royal Highness would not have been trapped, and the Zhejiang family would not have been in turmoil, and people's hearts would not be in turmoil. ”Zhao Ming squinted and pondered, Fang Guoan, as a veteran of the Zhejiang system, his defection dealt a great blow to the Zhejiang system, making many people shake, and more importantly, the entire Zhejiang was returned to the imperial court.If Fang Guoan can be solved, firstly, it can give a warning to the remaining people and stop the atmosphere of surrender, and secondly, it will also be of great benefit to Donghai Town.Zhejiang is Zhu Yihai's territory, Zhao Ming was originally not easy to shoot, but now it belongs to Fang Guoan, Zhao Ming can just clean up the portal and take Zhejiang into his hands.After Gu Yanwu heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and agreed, "If Fang Guoan can be solved and Zhejiang can be taken back, then it will not only be able to inspire the towns of Zhejiang, but also cause huge pressure on the imperial court." ”Now the Zhejiang system only controls a few provinces in Jiangbei, and the Jiangdong soldiers are not in Jiangdong, and the Longwu court is not afraid of the Zhejiang system at all, but if Zhao Ming recaptures Zhejiang, and the soldiers of Donghai Town return to Jiangdong, Longwu and He Tengjiao have to consider the consequences of the war.Zhao Ming listened to the words of the two, couldn't help but stand up, walked to the map, looked at Zhejiang, and frowned again: "Fang Guoan has 100,000 troops, how can this domain solve him?"
”Fang Guoan, as a big warlord of Zhejiang, occupies Zhejiang, can be described as a strong soldier and a strong horse, not a soft persimmon.Donghai Town wants to take Zhejiang, but it is not an easy thing, because it is impossible for the imperial court to watch him swallow Zhejiang.Xia Wanchun saluted and said: "Guogong, this matter must be cut through the chaos quickly, Donghai Town has the advantage of a naval army, and it can attack Hangzhou."
As long as Hangzhou is taken and Guoan is captured, Zhejiang is the base camp of our Zhejiang system, and we will definitely be able to control Zhejiang before the imperial court reacts. ”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Hangzhou is a big city, Fang Guoan must be heavily guarded, if you want to attack, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”Xia Wanchun said: "Guogong, although Fang Guoan defected to the imperial court, His Royal Highness has a very high prestige in Zhejiang, and his generals, as well as the Zhejiang gentry, may not all support Fang Guoan to defect to the imperial court.Therefore, Xia Guan thought that he could find an internal response in Zhejiang.If someone responds, Guogong will definitely be able to attack Hangzhou and capture Fang Guoan. ”Zhao Ming looked at the map and said with a half-loud smile: "It seems that the silver coins seized by this domain can be used immediately." ”Gu Yanwu saluted and said: "Prime Minister, my Donghai Town has a lot of intelligence bases in Zhejiang, and I think that now, first, I will immediately order the Military Intelligence Department to plot against the generals under Fang Guoan, and second, I need to block the news that the Prime Minister has returned to Taiwan, secretly assemble the army, and wait for the time to come." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Okay, that's it!"
”After Zhao Ming consulted with everyone, he quickly formulated a detailed plan, which was to raid Hangzhou, take Zhejiang, boost the morale of the Zhejiang army, and then exert military pressure to force the imperial court to release Zhu Yihai.While Zhao Ming was thinking about the domestic situation, the negotiators of the Dutch East India Company finally arrived in Tainan.Zhao Ming ordered Gu Yanwu to discuss with him, because Donghai Town was eager to end the war, and the Dutch in Resharan Castle had been trapped for more than half a year and could no longer support it, and the East India Company was eager to fish them out and the Dutch captured by Zhao Ming, and the two sides did not have any disputes, each made concessions, and soon reached a treaty.The treaty stipulated that the Dutch in Fort Resharan laid down their arms and surrendered, gave up the fort, and left Taiwan as a ship with the captured Dutch.The Dutch withdrew from Tainan, Xinmingzhou, Borneo and other places, recognized the sphere of influence of Donghai Town, and allowed the merchant ships of Donghai Town to pass through Malacca.The Dutch had the responsibility to protect the safety of the shipping lanes, and if the merchant ships of Tokai Town were plundered in Malacca, Tokai Town would have the right to defend the shipping lanes on its own.In the end, the Dutch provoked an unjust war, and as the defeated side, they admitted defeat and compensated Donghai Town with 500,000 taels of silver~~~~~~ ()
