Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In Shandong, under the city of Dengzhou, there was a sea of ??people. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses formed a camp more than ten miles long. Liu Yulie, the governor of the army appointed by the imperial court, marched from west to east, and Liu Zeqing, the governor of Shandong under the command of Dacheng, marched from south to north. The two armies marched in ten days  They gathered here and gathered 40,000 to 50,000 officers and soldiers to besiege Dengzhou City.

    The fierce siege battle has been going on for ten days. Both sides were very well prepared, and they fell into the most brutal fighting as soon as they started!

    Li Zhejun's 10,000 Liaodong rebel troops and 3,000 elite marines stayed in Dengzhou. Under the command of Zheng Zhilong brothers, Chen Guangfu and others, they used thousands of flintlock guns on the city walls and hundreds of gates from the original Denglai camp.  The Western artillery left behind successfully defended the city!

    Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, was riding on a horse, standing far away from the city, looking at the Hongyi cannon on the top of the city showing off its power, feeling secretly cruel in his heart!

    It was these Hongyi cannons that blocked the way for the imperial army to encircle and suppress the rebels, and also caused several large-scale siege offensives by the imperial court that cost thousands of lives to fail.

    During the decisive battle that day, the rebels in the Denglai camp fired volleys of guns at the city wall. They fired dozens of red cannons and more than 300 other Western cannons. Under the power of hundreds of artillery pieces of various sizes,  , the city immediately became dark, the sun and the moon lost light, and the whole earth seemed to have turned upside down.

    The death battalions that charged to attack the city fell to the ground one after another under the intensive bombardment of the rebel artillery. The dead were with incomplete bones. Dozens of battalion leaders rushed forward, but only twenty-three out of ten could come back. The number of casualties in the fierce fighting within a few days was high.  Thousands of people, but they can't even touch the edge of the city wall.  After three attempts like this, the generals and generals of each battalion retreated, obeying the governor's orders and never came back to seize the merit of being the first to do so.

    Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is indeed a well-trained soldier!  These many muskets and cannons are not inferior to those of the Shenji Battalion from the capital. Looking at the enemy's firepower distribution, it seems to have its own set of rules. Compared with the real combat effectiveness, the Shenji Battalion from the capital in this regard  The old soldiers were greatly inferior.

    This rebel army in Dengzhou City is actually an elite force with resounding firearms!  How will it end if we besiege the city like this?  The sharp muskets and cannons are definitely the magic weapons for city wall defense. The old Donglu slaves were so brave in the past, but they were killed by Hongyi cannons at the foot of Jinzhou City!  But in Dengzhou City today, the density of firepower seems to be even more intense than in Jinzhou back then. This frontal attack is impossible no matter what.

    But think about other ways. Dengzhou City is close to the sea. If the waterway cannot be cut off, it will be almost impossible to consume all the ammunition and food of the opponent.  If this continues, the outcome will be unpredictable!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This imperial army is forced to go on an expedition, and they are not allowed to enter or exit the fortified city!  If such news spreads, I am afraid that in less than two or three months, the head of our army commander will be lost. The current saint in the Forbidden City is not a broad-minded master!  This time the bandits are suppressed, the end may be very unhappy.

    Liu Zeqing already regretted it, why did he get into such muddy water?  He believed that the other generals and generals in the camp outside the city at this time probably had similar thoughts to his own!

    ¡­¡­

    Within the city, Zheng Zhilong was temporarily in charge of the situation. Compared with the officers and soldiers outside the city, he was now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

    The situation in the city is now quite stable. Except for the initial fierce attack by the imperial officers and soldiers, some riots among the residents in the city were suppressed. Now that the offensive of the officers and soldiers has retreated, the situation in the city has naturally stabilized.  Instead, Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to destroy the Jinyiwei's lair in the city, and spies from the imperial military department also arrested several of them!  It's a good deal, and it turns out to be a small gain!  This mood is naturally happy!

    "Haha! As expected. In the past few days, the offensive outside the city has slowed down greatly. In the first three days of the fierce battle, it seemed like an overwhelming offensive, but it turned out to be just a superficial job. Our muskets and cannons will be  They came out and immediately suffered heavy casualties. Now that the battalions outside the city have lost so many soldiers and horses, I am afraid that Governor Liu outside the city has lost his spirit! Those generals and generals are probably very distressed.  Will you still listen to his greetings well? I think our army is already in an invincible position in the Dengzhou battle!"

    Zheng Zhihu was living under him, and he was in a very relaxed mood, "Brother is right, the court is nothing more than those means, three axes. If the previous strong attack does not work, there will be no energy in the next step. I want to capture Dengzhou.  I'm afraid it won't be of any use until next year to fight against the city! The overall situation here has been decided, and the officers and soldiers can't do any tricks! But, brother! Speaking of which, we have been dealing with the officers and soldiers for so many years, and this is the first time that something like this has happened.  How about using multiple muskets and cannons to defend against others face to face?"

    "Yes! In the past,We all rule the roost at sea. On land, we really do nothing, not even ordinary officers and soldiers. Now look at the army on land fighting with guns and cannons firing. The scene is also very tragic. It is no better than what we do at sea.  It¡¯s so relaxing when you¡¯re working hard!  Look at what happened a few days ago. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were besieging us. If our firepower hadn't been properly arranged, people might have climbed up the city wall.  Speaking of this kind of tactics, you still have to learn from General Zhang Liao and Zhang. From now on, if you lead the troops alone, our Zheng family will have to rely on you to support it!  "

    "I understand, little brother!" Zheng Zhihu lowered his head and accepted the instruction obediently. Of course he was happy.  After receiving news from Dongjiang a few days ago, Li Zhe ordered the adjustment of the fleet and appointed Zheng Zhihu as the commander of the East China Sea Fleet to be stationed in Quanzhou.

    Zheng Zhilong is obviously no longer suitable to lead troops outside, and will serve as Li Zhe's personal counselor. This move is naturally to limit Zheng Zhilong's influence in Li Zhe's army and balance the situation, which is also the meaning of the title.  The Zheng family has naturally been mentally prepared for this situation!  From then on, Zheng Zhihu's status in the family will naturally rise significantly!

    The two brothers chatted for a while. Suddenly there was a noise outside. An officer came in and handed Zheng Zhilong an urgent report from the south. It needed to be forwarded from Dengzhou to Dongjiang. Zheng Zhilong quickly caught it and took a look.  What a surprise, but it was an urgent military message from the south!

    The situation in Nanyang has changed drastically!

    ¡­¡­

    Fujian, Quanzhou Prefecture, two days ago.

    A piece of news came from Taiwan, disrupting everything.

    Quanzhou Military Port, which was originally quiet and peaceful, suddenly became tense. From a distance, I saw the noisy and chaotic sailors running from the naval camp towards the warships docked on the dock.  The officers followed, shouting and reprimanding loudly, and soon the warships on the dock began to move one by one, and the port became crowded!

    "Quick! Order down, prepare to raise anchor and sail, and return to Manila!" Li Huamei hurriedly jumped onto the deck of the flagship Zhenhai and said to the commander standing on the deck. Then, Li Huamei made a series of  The orders were arranged vigorously and resolutely, and the entire fleet was ready to set off!

    "You can't just leave like this. Such a big thing must be informed to the lord! It's up to the lord to make a decision." Beside Li Huamei, Zhuge Liang followed him on the boat, anxiously trying to stop Li Huamei!

    "What? Lord, please judge? Look where your lord is now? In southern Liaoning! Even though he was told thousands of miles away, could he have time to support him? The military reports from Nanyang made it clear.  It is clear that the enemy has been preparing for nearly a month!"

    "Yes! We have been preparing for more than a month, but hasn't Manila been attacked yet? Maybe the Dutch will wait a little longer. Now you don't wait for the news from the lord and go south by yourself. You are the only one who has more than a dozen  A warship is about to confront the Dutch fleet! Isn¡¯t this like a moth flying into a flame?¡±

    Li Huamei suddenly became angry,

    "What? A moth throws itself into a fire? Mr. Kong Ming! I want to tell you! When I, Li Huamei, started living at sea, you probably didn't know what the sea was like? My fleet went to sea, and nothing else.  At the very least, I can harass the Dutch fleet so that they can¡¯t attack Manila with all their strength! Maybe, Manila¡¯s situation can be saved, but if I don¡¯t move, if the Dutch start to move first, Manila will really be doomed!¡±

    Zhuge Liang was immediately speechless.

    "But, you are, you are my lord's That, this, is really too dangerous! If the lord blames me, I won't be able to survive." Zhuge Liang's tone became more and more unclear, even though he was extremely smart, he met  Women like Li Huamei are also useless.

    "What's the point? I, Li Huamei, am not a woman who can be protected! Mr. Kong Ming! I know, I know what you mean. I am your lord's woman and should not be personally involved in danger. But in the current situation, Mr. Kong Ming! You  Can I sit still? I, Li Huamei, am the Queen of Manila first, and then your lord¡¯s woman! I still carry the hopes and lives of hundreds of thousands of Manilans!"

    Zhuge Liang looked at Li Huamei!  The only thing that can be seen from those beautiful big eyes is that they are unflinching and extremely determined. They were silent for a long time.

    "Okay! Go ahead! I will notify the following and ask them to make the best material preparations for you! Leave all the matters here to me!"

    kindness!  Li Huamei nodded heavily,

    "Thank you Kong Ming! Hurry up and contact Taiwan and the north respectively. Let the Taiwan fleet go south and follow me to help Manila. Li Zhe and the others in the north are too far away. I'm afraid it's too late!"

    Zhuge LiangHe said: "It's too late, it's definitely too late"

    Within a few hours at Quanzhou Prefecture Port, all the dozens of large ships that could be launched in the territory at this time were assembled, supplies were replenished, and together with some thousands of Marines, they headed south.  (To be continued.
