Chapter 511
Although Zuo Liangyu knew that what Gao Huan said was just a confusing word, he still felt a secret feeling when he could see Gao Huan saying that only the heroes in the world were the Lord and the Cao.
He read it himself, handed the letter to Hou Xun, asking him to appreciate it, knowing how Gao Huan evaluated himself.
It is a bit too arrogant to say that only he and Gao Huan are the heroes in the world, but Zuo Liangyu actually somewhat agrees with Gao Huan's words in his heart.
After all, now he owns Huguang and Jiangnan, and later he swallows up Lu's great talent and defeats Zheng Zhilong. He is not Cao Liu, but Sun Lang.
At that time, the south of the world will be the final say of him and his old friend Zhang Xianzhong, while the north will be Gao Huan, Li Zicheng, the northern Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will compete for power.
Thinking of this, what Gao Huan said was not all false, but some basis.
After reading it, Hou Xun thought that Gao Huan could say anything. He looked at Zuo Liangyu's expression and hurriedly said, "King, Gao Huan wants us to put the merchant ship to Jiangbei. Once he gets food and wood, he will definitely attack Jiangnan in large numbers. The king must not be confused by him!"
When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he asked the letter back and prepared to find a frame, put it up and hang it in the study.
He put away the letter and looked at Ma Shiying, "Ma Ge's ministry can retreat first."
When Ma Shiying heard the words, he hurriedly bowed and hurriedly left the lobby.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "A few days ago, Gao Huan wrote a letter to instigate me to attack Zheng Zhilong. Seeing that the plan failed, I came here again. I will be deceived by him!"
Seeing Zuo Liangyu knowing it, Hou Xun smiled and said, "Now there is a court in the north and a king in the south. He is sandwiched in the middle. The situation is actually very unfavorable. At present, as long as the king can unite with the court and Zheng Zhilong and block Gao Huan from the north and south, it won't take long to go Gao Huan."
The five Qing kings in the north were in charge of politics, and Duoduo fought back. After winning several battles, the Qing Dynasty gradually emerged from Dorgon's failure.
Now Gao Huan is busy blocking the Yellow River and restoring the economy and people's livelihood of Liang State. The Qing Dynasty took this opportunity to stabilize the situation and began to re-arrange its strategy for Liang State.
The Qing Dynasty used the Northern Ming puppet court as the front desk and sent envoys to Jiangnan. They had already met with Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Zhilong to join forces to control Gao Huan.
The proposal of the Beiming Dynasty was to match the interests of Zuozhen.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu had already agreed to the envoy sent by Hong Chengchou, and the two sides agreed to attack Liang Kingdom from north to south.
If Gao Huan attacks Shandong in the north, Zuo Liangyu will send troops north and attack Gao Huan afterwards.
If Gao Huan attacks Jiangnan, Hong Chengchou will be the same.
At this time, the two sides had reached an alliance to block Gao Huan and also reached an agreement to exchange horses for food, cloth and other materials.
Zuo Liangyu nodded slightly. The strength of the entire alliance is actually stronger than Gao Huan, which makes Zuo Liangyu feel a little confident, "Hmph! Gao Huan wants me to relax my guard and allow trade with Liang State, which is simply fantastic. After passing the order, the army inspected closely and found that someone smuggled food and supplies to Liang State, and he was executed immediately once he was caught."
When the military order was conveyed, the generals of the Left Army immediately became excited.
For a time, merchants in Jiangnan were immediately affected, and ships did not dare to sail on the Yangtze River at all. However, they thought that they could escape the disaster without entering the Yangtze River, but they were too naive and really looked down on Zuo Jun's ability to make money.
A group of soldiers and generals from Zuozhen could not catch ships on the Yangtze River, so they went to the canal to catch them, and even those who drove ox carts on land were not spared.
If you catch it, you are suspected of smuggling into the Liang Kingdom. You either confiscate goods or blackmail them, making it impossible for Jiangnan merchants to do business.
Seeing that the Zuo Army was too much, Shi Kefa and others could only come to the door again and asked Zuo Liangyu to restrain military discipline. Even Zheng Zhilong from Hangzhou was dissatisfied with Zuo Zhen and told Zuo Liangyu not to affect the Zheng family's business.
Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu called the generals to scold them, barely restrained the military discipline.
At this time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Gao Huan saw that Zuo Liangyu had not released the seized cargo ship and killed many people. So he was furious and sent troops to Yangzhou to cross the river.
After learning the news, Zuo Liangyu was not willing to be outdone, so he mobilized troops to station in Zhenjiang, and asked Zheng Zhilong Navy to assist in the war. He also asked Hou Xun to go from sea to Shandong to ask Zhu Cihuan for emergency response, and asked Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and the Qing army behind them to attack Gao Huan from north to south.
After occupying Jiangnan, Zuozhen's financial resources increased greatly, and the plundered silver was used to equip and recruit soldiers, which greatly increased Zuo Liangyu's military strength.
Now the Zheng family navy is assisting the war, and Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are supporting him in the north. Zuo Liangyu feels that Gao Huan cannot cross the river to attack him at all.
The fact seems to be true. Gao Huan stationed troops in Yangzhou, set up a quick-training school for officers, personally trained officers above the brigade commander, and strengthened the establishment of the garrison and the instructors, and was responsible for pursuing military discipline and educating soldiers.
It was the hot summer in July, and Gao Huan also organized soldiers from the north to learn swimming on the Yangtze River every day. The Liang army was in a state of great momentum, but there was no specific action to cross the river.
At this time, on the Yangtze River, several large ships approached the north shore. Zuo Liangyu stood at the bow and observed the other shore with a thousand-mile mirror. He saw many sampans and rafts gathered on the shore. What shocked Zuo Liangyu the most was that a large group of Liang soldiers were practicing swimming in the water, and thousands of people were dog-drawing together. The scene was spectacular and shocking.
This made Zuo Liangyu stunned and then laughed.
On the warship, a group of Left Army soldiers were laughing when they saw Liang Jun practicing swimming by the river.
"Haha~" Xu Yong laughed loudly and said, "Big~ King~ Could it be that Gao Huan is going to let Liang Jun swim across the Yangtze River?"
Zuo Liangyu saw that the Liang army in the north bank had very few large ships, mainly small sampans, which could not be compared with the naval warships of the Zuo Zheng coalition.
It now seems that Liangjun's shipyard was burned and the timber for the shipbuilding was seized. He could not build a large ship for a while, so Gao Huan had to let someone practice swimming in case of emergency needs.
Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Haha~ It is impossible to swim across the Yangtze River. I saw Gao Huan asking them to practice in advance so that the small sampan was sunk by our big ship and swim back to save their lives."
The generals burst into laughter again, and Zuo Liangyu watched Qianli for a moment, then smiled and waved, "Haha~ Let them practice, let's go back and drink!"
At this time, when Zuo Liangyu was peeping at the Liang army on the north bank, Gao Huan rode a horse and stood on the north bank, and also used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the large ship appearing on the river.
"King, Zuo Jun is back!" Wu Ruyi pointed at the big ship that was turning.
Gao Huan put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, looked at Zuo Liangyu's boat, turned around the river, heading towards the south bank, and showed a contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"King, brothers have been soaking in the water for two hours. Should they get up?" Liu Qi couldn't help asking when he saw the Zuo Jun ship walking away.
Gao Huan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Continue to practice! Learn to swim and change to another batch!"
(Thanks to Zhu Shangbing's 1000 Qin State for asking for monthly tickets, recommendations, and a chapter that will take a little later, everyone will read it in the morning.)
