Chapter 301 Rescue Longwu

In the lobby, everyone became serious after hearing Zhao Ming's words.

At this time, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone. In addition to the generals of the Zhejiang Army, there were also generals of the Zheng Army, as well as some generals who had just turned out to be correct.

Zhao Ming didn't know many of these people. Seeing that many of them were lowering their heads, they immediately said, "Before discussing, you should inform them of their respective names so that your highness can know what to call them!"

The Zhejiang generals, Zheng Hongkui and others, should not introduce them anymore, but Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming are indeed not sure about the large number of Zheng army surrendered generals.

He finished speaking, and one of the surrendered generals was summoned. He looked up at Zhao Ming, then looked around. Seeing that no one moved, he went out and clasped his fists and whispered: "The sinner Huang Ting was originally the guardian of Yanping. He followed the Grand Tutor to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Now he surrendered to His Highness. He is willing to make meritorious contributions and serve the army before he redeems his past sins."

Zhu Yihai smiled and raised his hand, "Your family will not give me a gift!"

Zhao Ming nodded and asked again: "How many more?"

At this time, another general held his fist and left the list, "The sin is about to be promoted. He was the former general of the navy. He is willing to serve under His Highness and will be punished for his crime."

When Zhao Ming heard that it was a gens general of the navy, he looked at him carefully and saw that the man was dark and quite strong, so he decided to ask him to come later.

At this time, another general stood up and walked to the center of the lobby, bowed deeply to Zhu Yihai, and then said loudly: "The sinner Hong Xishan is the deputy general of the Water Camp. Due to the situation, he is concerned about the Ming Dynasty. He surrendered to His Highness today and is willing to die!"

Next, several people reported their names, all of whom were high-ranking officials in the Zheng army. However, Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming did not intend to return these surrendered troops to the Zheng family, but decided to merge and take them under their command to strengthen their strength.

Zheng Hongkui listened and understood that these people were not from the Zheng family, and he couldn't help but feel lost.

After everyone introduced it, Zhu Yihai immediately smiled and said, "You are sincerely submitting to the Qing Dynasty and working hard to fight against the Qing Dynasty. In the past, the Guwang and the court will not mention anything else. However, if there are still people who are indifferent after surrendering, then don't blame Guwang for being ruthless."

Many surrendered generals quickly bowed and expressed their unparalleled intentions.

Zhu Yihai nodded with satisfaction and was very excited. The battle to enter Fujian not only reversed the crisis, but also enabled him to gain unprecedented prestige and increase his strength.

After the ceremony, Zhao Ming immediately said, "Your Highness, since entering Fujian, our army has recruited more than 30,000 surrendered troops, and the original brothers have controlled more than 80,000 people."

After saying that, Zhao Ming looked at Zheng Hongkui and said, "Marquis Dinglu, I wonder how many people you control now?"

"We and the three divisions, plus the surrendered people, have about 40,000 troops on the water!" Zheng Hongkui said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, "It seems that our army has more than 120,000 troops, which is enough to go north to clear the siege of Ruijin. The army makes a little preparation, leave five thousand to guard Fujing, and send another five thousand to reinforce Xianxia Pass. The remaining troops will pounce directly on Ruijin. You have any opinions."

Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, causing great losses to the Zheng family.

Zheng Hongkui really wanted to rescue Longwu. First, he was able to atone for his merits and sins. Second, Zheng Hongkui did not want Zhejiang forces to go deep into Fujian and take away the interests of their Zheng family.

Zhao Ming proposed to rescue Emperor Longwu, and Zheng Hongkui immediately agreed.

Zheng Hongkui nodded, "I have no objection!"

At this time, the Zhejiang Army suffered a lot of losses, but there were still nearly 50,000 people. Zhu Yihai recruited nearly 30,000 people in Zheng's army, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others, and the troops in the headquarters, plus the Zheng family, the total number was nearly 40,000 people.

The Ming army in Fujian has exceeded 120,000. If some small groups of people are added, the number may be even greater.

The Ming army had the strength to take advantage of the victory to storm Fengtingzhou, and troops advanced to southern Ganzhou to rescue Emperor Longwu, and seized the opportunity to lift the siege of Ganzhou.

Since Zheng Jun had no objection to this matter, the Zhejiang Army who proposed the plan naturally did not have it. It was a discussion, but it was decided in just one sentence.

In fact, everyone had their own ideas about sending troops. Zheng Hongkui felt that rescuing Longwu would help the Zheng family find a political backer again to fight against Zhejiang warlords entering Fujian. After Zhu Yihai won the victory in southern Jiangxi, he actually had some ideas in his mind. However, after being tactfully persuaded by Zhao Ming, he gave up the idea of ​​not saving Longwu.

After the great victory in southern Fujian, Zhu Yihai was inevitably a little inflated, and he might not have arisen in his heart. He wanted the Qing army to kill Longwu and ascend the throne again, but Zhao Ming advised: "Your Highness is here, and he is supported by the soldiers and possesses real power. Why not be afraid of future changes? At this time, it is the critical moment. If the Qing army captures Ruijin and captures Your Majesty, the southern Jiangxi will definitely lose it, and the achievements established in the southern Fujian will be destroyed."

Although Duoduo was defeated this time, the situation of the strong and the weak Qing Dynasty did not change. If the Ming army defeated the Qing army in southern Fujian and the Qing army defeated the Ming army in southern Jiangxi, the two would offset each other, and the victory achieved in southern Fujian would not be so critical.

Moreover, the Ming army only recaptured Fujian, but the Qing army occupied southern Jiangxi. In fact, the Ming Dynasty lost a large area.

Zhu Yihai heard the words and pondered for a while before yelling, haha, saying that he had no idea.

At this time, Zhao Ming saw that everyone had no objection to the rescue of Ruijin, so he said in a deep voice: "Then you all prepare for each one, clean up and prepare to set off."

After the Fujian-Zhejiang coalition forces unified their thoughts and decided to rescue Ruijin, Zheng Hongkui said, "Your Highness, the Qing army attacked Fujian, attacked our Anping City, and seized the wealth of our Zheng family. Now that the army has revived Fuzhou, can these finances be returned to our Zheng family? Of course, the Zhejiang army soldiers came from afar and helped us drive away the Qing army. Our Zheng family will naturally take out some of the money and grain to comfort the Zhejiang army soldiers."

When Zhu Yihai heard the words, his brows frowned, and the atmosphere in the lobby gradually became tense.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Marquis Dinglu, the Qing army entered Fujian and plundered many people. You can't say that these are all from your Zheng family. Besides, these are the captures of the soldiers defeating the Qing army. Our Zhejiang Army is not here to help you drive away the Qing army, but the leadership of the entire battle is to turn the tide and clean up the situation you have caused. You have also made efforts to distribute these captures, so don't talk about the others."

Zheng Hongkui knew he wouldn't come back, so he said so, just hoping to get more.

Seeing the Zheng family's generals with a gloomy face, Zhu Yihai hurriedly smiled and said, "My dear friends, this matter is not urgent. The most important thing at the moment is to send troops immediately. As for the capture, we can wait until we overcome this crisis before discussing and seeing how to distribute it!"

Zhao Ming immediately said, "I agree with Your Highness's meaning."

Seeing this, Zheng Hongkui could only hold his fists, "I have no objection."

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps gradually approached, but a man suddenly broke into the lobby and fell to the ground.

Everyone who was about to disperse was shocked. When Zhao Ming saw the visitor, his expression changed, helped him up and asked anxiously: "Duke Yang, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yang Wencong. He should have been in Ruijin City. Everyone was shocked when they saw him. Could it be that Ruijin had fallen, but Yang Wencong pointed to the north and gasped and said, "Hurry, hurry up, send troops to rescue Your Majesty."
