Chapter 1610
"As soon as Chongming Island goes down, the exit to the sea is blocked." Zheng Wudao: "Next, the Governor needs Wang Fujun to cooperate with me to take down Pill Apprentice as soon as possible, and block Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Navy to death. On the Yangtze River."
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The government is ready to receive the order, and Governor Zheng can rest assured. The Yangzhou government has all the manpower and material resources under the command of the Governor."
Zheng Wudao: "many thanks, the lord of the government."
Wang Yuan even dared not say: "It's all for the king to worry about."
Pill Apprentice is the government office of Zhenjiang, across the river from Yangzhou Jiangdu. After Zheng Zhilong's navy entered the Yangtze River, his navy camp was located in Longtan, east of Nanjing, in Yingtian, and in the adjacent Zhenjiang Prefecture Pill Apprentice, he was also stationed in a navy department, facing it.
Pill Apprentice has tens of thousands of Fujian naval forces and 200 warships. Led by Zheng Zhibao, the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong.
It was Zheng Zhibao who attacked Yangzhou in the early days.
"Zheng Zhilong's main force is in Longtan, with 20,000 men and nearly 400 warships. Pill Apprentice is adjacent to it. Once there is a change, it can take up to two hours. To attack Pill Apprentice, you must He can control Longtan." Wang Yuan said: "And do it quickly, otherwise not only the Fujian Navy in Longtan, the former army of the Jiangning front line, but also the troops from the land, it is a bad battle at this time, and it is not easy to end it. ."
Zheng Wu deeply agreed.
Zheng Wu's thinking is very clear, the main purpose of the navy is Zheng Zhilong. Rather than the former army of Jiangnan. Once Pill Apprentice can't take it quickly, his navy will be dragged in Pill Apprentice, and when the time comes Zheng Zhilong's main force in Longtan, he can leave calmly.
"Zheng Zhilong can't run." Zheng Wuru said.
Wang Yuan nodded and said no more. A few words of advice are fine, but if you go deeper, you will lose your duty. He's not an officer, he's a civilian. In wartime, cooperation is the main thing. How to fight is not something he can intervene.
After meeting Wang Yuan and making a talisman tablet for local cooperation, Wang Yuan left. Zheng Wu then met with the generals of the Jiangnan War Zone Zhenjiang Capital who came with Wang Yuan.
In this battle, the navy is naturally important. But the main force of the battle is still under Zhou Li of the Jiangnan War Zone. The Naval War Zone and the Jiangnan War Zone must be linked together and cooperate perfectly with each other in order to end the unification war that swept the Jiangnan region more quickly.
In addition to a certain general of the Jiangnan War Zone who guards Jiangdu, also the Black-clothed Guard deacon of the Ministry of National Security is also listed.
"The Governor Zhou has made all preparations." The ministry general said: "Since Governor Zheng has arrived in Tong Prefecture on time, Governor Zhou has said that we can proceed as originally planned."
Zheng Wu nodded lightly: "That's good."
Then looked towards Black-clothed Guard deacon.
The Ministry of National Security is a new intelligence agency that integrates the functions of the former Bright Gown Guard, Eastern Yard and other spy agencies. The deacon under the Ministry of National Security is called Black-clothed Guard. It's actually quite different from the previous Bright Gown Guard.
There is a deacon company in Jiangnan, and its leader is deacon.
Black Clothed Deacon said with a blank face: "Pill Apprentice is under the control of the Black-clothed Guard, all the subordinates and leaders." He took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and handed it over to the Black-clothed Guard. Zheng Wudao: "There is absolutely no difference."
Zheng Wu took it and opened it to see the grid location of the Pill Apprentice Water Village, the subordinates of the troops, the patrol rotation time, the name of the leader and even the name of the leader. Personality is on record.
Zheng Wuxi, said with a smile: "With this brocade, the major event can be expected. Black-clothed Guard has worked hard."
Black-clothed Guard deacon said: "It's all for the king to share the worries, why bother. Dudu Zheng only needs to fight according to the military's subordinates, and my Black-clothed Guard will definitely cooperate."
"Okay!" Zheng Wufu said with a smile : "In this way, the army will be launched at midnight, and the war will be launched at the end of the day. Pill Apprentice will be broken before dawn!"
...
Jiangpu, Jiangnan War Zone camp.
It is already midnight, brightly lit in the main account of the camp.
Zhou Li was dressed in a military uniform, with a red tassel pocket on the desk beside him. There are military academy generals and officers in the hall.
Jiangpu is said to belong to Tianfu. Yingtianfu straddles the Yangtze River, and there is also an area in the north of the Yangtze River. It is Jiangpu and Liuhe counties. Jiangpu and Nanjing Jiangning are across the river.
A month ago, Ying Yi decided to unify, and the Jiangnan War Zone moved south from Fengyang, and quickly set up a front to defend against the harassment of Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Navy.
"The Governor has just received the news that Zheng Wu of the Navy has arrived at the corresponding position on time." Zhou Li's rough face was very calm and heavy, and Hong said: "This time, there is no change in the battle across the river. , all the ministries will only act according to the original plan."
Then looked towards General Zuo Jun with bright eyes: "How is the situation over Hezhou?"
General Zuo Jun beat his chest cup one fist in the other hand and said: "Don't worry. The governor has just received the news before the governor called the meeting, and the two divisions A and B have already crossed the river after dark yesterday. At this time, they must have reached the Dasheng Pass. Near Longtan, you can attack at any time."
Zhou Li heard this laughed: "Okay! Some old officials from the previous dynasty are just like birds. The old capital six thousand soldiers and horses crossed the river, and they were easily fooled. In the past, it was a heavenly fate."
The generals and officials all burst into laughter when they heard this.
Zhou Li waved his hand, stopped his laughter, and said: "Jiangning has more than 20,000 troops, but they are all mobs, so it is not difficult to break it. The difficulty is Zheng Zhilong of Longtan. This sea bandit is the most shivered. If you smell the smell, you will definitely run away."
"The two 6,000 elite soldiers are caught off guard, and Longtan will never be able to resist. , without the warship, Zheng Zhilong can't run." General Zuo Jun said: "Once the battle of Longtan starts, Jiangning will soon receive news that the old ministers of the previous dynasty will be restless and even have internal strife. When the time comes, take the opportunity to cross the river and attack Jiangning directly. , the major event can be decided."
Zhou Li said with a smile: "Nanjing Jiangning still has a few hard bones, all generals should not be careless."
then said: "Go down and do it. It is good to prepare and prepare for the war. It is already midnight, let the soldiers wait for the battle, make food and eat when they are ugly, and cheer up the lights in time to wait for the opportunity of fighters.”
“Here!”
...
Pill Apprentice, late at night, water village.
Zheng Zhibao slept peacefully with his concubine in his arms. Zheng Zhibao, who was born as a pirate, has always been a bandit. Even after being recruited by the Ming court of the previous dynasty, it has not changed. Zheng Zhilong told him how many times, but he still went his own way.
Since the garrison Pill Apprentice Water Village, the former officials of Pill Apprentice are often flattering, giving gold and silver, jewelry, and beautiful women.
Nowadays, Zheng Zhibao has dozens of concubines in the water village, all of which were donated by officials of the previous dynasty in Jiangnan during this period of time.
The so-called up-and-down effect, Zheng Zhibao is doing this, how can the people under his command watch it? As a result, this water village is also smoky, not like a military camp at all, but similar to Goulan brotherel.
Zheng Zhilong's Fujian Navy has battle strength at sea. But if you want to talk about military discipline, you can't get into the dharma eye of experts. After all, the root is the pirates, not the regular army.
Since Zheng Zhibao garrisoned Pill Apprentice, many nearby commoners have suffered. Eating and drinking for free is light, and robbing civilians or something happens from time to time.
Pill Apprentice's county magistrate was also covered in dirt -- the concubine of the county magistrate's family went to the street and was almost taken by some soldiers and bandits.
