Chapter 1070 The battle is not over

Chapter 1070 The battle has not stopped

Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, in the lower reaches of Nanjing, and opposite to Yangzhou.

It was called "Jingkou" in ancient times. Xin Qiji's famous poem "Yongyule·Nostalgia of Jingkou Beiguting" was probably written here.

"The world of eternity, heroes can never find Sun Zhongmou..."

But whether it is Sun Quan or Liu Yu, since ancient times, there have been few successes in the Northern Expedition.

Zheng Zhilong, who went north this time, also felt this hero's loneliness. Although he only wanted to regain Nanjing, it was actually not a Northern Expedition.

But since he lost, he could only sigh that he was not lucky.

At the beginning, the battle was really smooth. The battle was defeated, the Songjiang River entered the Yangtze River, and the Zhenjiang River was shaking under his offensive.

At that time, Wang Xiao was dragged by Cen Anguo in Hangzhou, and the Yangtze River defense line was all under the hands of the Zheng Navy. Nanjing was in front of him without any obstacles. It seemed that in just two days, Zheng Zhilong would be able to take charge of Nanjing and encircle the North Chu troops in Jiangnan.

If you ask him about his mood at that time, he was really "a golden sword and iron horse, and he was as angry as a tiger!"

Zheng Zhilong really felt that he was going to win, and he felt that Wang Xiao, who was famous all over the world, could not do so.

He made countless inferences and sent countless spies to pay attention to whether there were reinforcements from Northern Chu on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

He believed that the situation was settled, and even if Northern Chu sent troops south, he would not be able to cross the Yangtze River smoothly. At this moment, the Northern Chu Navy gave him a fatal blow.

The navy of Northern Chu did not come from the north bank of the Yangtze River, nor from Dengzhou or Ryukyu. Zheng Zhilong was all on guard against these places.

He never expected that the Beichu Navy came from Jeju Island...

At the estuary of the Yangtze River, when the warships of the Northern Chu were crushed straight from the east, the Zheng Navy had no time to turn around the defense line arranged by the north and south.

When the artillery fire from Bei Chu fell, the final result was final.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't figure out why he, a Southeast ship king who had been roaming the sea for many years, was defeated by a young man?

He guessed that it was because of luck.

The Beichu Navy should not have such a powerful navy, and it should not be on Jeju Island.

Wang Xiao was so lucky that a navy started from Jeju Island and penetrated into his weakest place.

He never thought that when they were still making profits for their family and calculating for immediate interests, some people had already turned their attention to the world.

The further you look, the bigger your mind, and the higher your realm.

Sometimes strength corresponds to pattern.

When the pattern between the two sides is compared, this battle is completely unsuspecting.

When He Wan led his army to attack the Zheng Navy and saw Zheng Zhilong waving the flag, He Wan had only two words in his heart.

"boring……"

In short, Zheng Zhilong saw that the situation was hopeless, finally ordered surrender.

He did not have the determination to fight to the death, and lost. Although he was as determined to break up and become king like the North Korean king, he was difficult to realize. But after surrendering, Wang Xiao should also give him a leisurely count...

He knew that Wang Xiao would accept his surrender, and his sons were still in Fujian.

This was his backing. Before leading the army north, he had planned the future and future path of the Zheng family.

However, when Bei Chu accepted his surrender, He Wan walked up to Zheng Zhilong and said.

"I have a personal grudge with you." He Wan said, "Many years ago, your people robbed my merchant ship."

Zheng Zhilong was stunned, widened his eyes, and felt completely inexplicable.

He doesn't recognize this person at all...

He Wan had raised the musket and pointed it at his eyebrows.

"Bang!"

...

"Avenge, King Jin, General He beat Zheng Zhilong to death because of his personal grudge!"

"Oh, He Wan has done too much. I have to punish him heavily and punish him to continue exile on Jeju Island." Wang Xiao ordered.

After this battle, Wang Xiao's momentum can probably be described by another poem written by Xin Qiji in Beiguting, Jingkou.

"A young man, ten thousand dogs, and the battle in the southeast has not stopped. Who is the rival of the heroes in the world?"

Of course, if you see the other side of the battlefield, although the soldiers of Northern Chu were fighting like a big shot, Wang Xiao personally spent a lot of energy. He planned it carefully and spent a lot of time to arrange it.

In fact, he fought very risky in this battle. For example, if He Wan's navy came from Jeju Island, if he encountered wind and waves a few days in the evening, such as Zhenjiang or even Nanjing, the strategic achievements of Bei Chu in Jiangnan might be ruined.

With Bei Chu's current strength, there is no need to take such a risk.

But Wang Xiao believes that it is worth it to attract Zheng Zhilong to go north and complete his achievements in one battle as soon as possible to pacify the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River.

As he often said, he truly regarded Jiangnan as a land of rule, not an enemy country.

Soon, the news of the Zhenjiang Battle reached Hangzhou, and Cen'an's heart was disintegrated and was quickly wiped out by Qinshan Lake.

At this point, the last two major warlords in Jiangnan were defeated and the war was put to rest.

The Dabie Mountains attacked Meng Shiwei, Taiping Prefecture defeated Ding Zewei, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou... Every battle is not difficult to fight, and Northern Chu is advancing rapidly.

But Wang Xiao knew that the important thing about pacifying Jiangnan was not to fight. People at the top only had interests, interests, and interests, so where could there be war?

Wang Xiao also knew that what he called "pacifying Jiangnan" now was just like Zheng Yuanhua went south and supported the emperor's grandson, and nominally became the lord of Jiangnan.

Clarify the unreasonable system of interest distribution and break down corruption, this is the real battlefield.

There is no smoke in this battlefield, and even too many people cannot see its existence.

But it is even more cruel. In silent places, it is hunger, cold, whipping, and torture constantly killing a person, and the corpse is piled up like a mountain. Those who die on this battlefield are far better than those on the real battlefield.

After spreading the news from Nanjing, Wang Xiao saw that someone could set fire to half of the city just to fight for an out of reach.

I knew that I had already lost, but I was willing to give up some of the benefits, and just because I had a little chance of counterattacking, I could pull countless innocent people to avenge them.

If one word is used to describe their mood when they are determined to be defeated, it should be... the word "noble".

They are all "noble" people, with etiquette and etiquette passed down from family, and enjoy the worship of the untouchables.

Now that they are unwilling to let go of such nobleness, they will resist the struggle. Compared to such nobleness, what is the untouchable? Isn’t the lives of untouchables just to maintain their nobleness?

And when Wang Xiao wanted to break this nobleness, they pulled him, showed a gentle smile, and told him, "You are as noble as us."

This is where this battle is really hard to fight.

For Wang Xiao, quelling the war in Jiangnan was just the prelude to this war.

Next, it will take him a long, long time, half a lifetime, or a lifetime to fight against this nobility.

While thinking about this, Wang Xiao looked at the situation in Nanjing. When he saw the news of Chen Weizhong's death, his eyes stopped.

Chen Weizhong's death...

Perhaps only Wang Xiao in Jiangnan understood the reason why Chen Weizhong wanted to stay and organize the firefighting despite the danger.

There is no shortage of Chen Weizhong, who is very talented and knowledgeable, and Chen Weizhong, who is very talented and knowledgeable, has too many of them, so many of them are so common.

However, Jiangnan lacks a governor who can "take his position and do his own affairs", which is too lacking.

In the first half of his life, Chen Weizhong became famous because of his famous prostitute and poetry. If he still retreats when he becomes a high-ranking official, and in future generations, he will always be "Liu Rushi" and "Yunjian Ci", what's the point?

Wang Xiao closed his eyes and felt Chen Weizhong's mood when he fell on the fire street.

In fact, even Wang Xiao himself did not have the confidence to change the stubborn disease in Jiangnan.

No matter how many people were killed today, a new policy was issued. If you leave yourself tomorrow, someone would still come out to buy officials with money, owed grain taxes, and concealed the land.

Sometimes I feel that if you almost do something, the poor can live a life of three hundred years. It is enough for everyone to just want a prosperous dynasty. With the current human fields, land fields, and productivity, it is easy to produce a prosperous dynasty...

On the contrary, Chen Weizhong's death made Wang Xiao realize that in this new battlefield without gunpowder, there was also Zhang Yongnian who "don't retreat".
