Chapter 114 The enemy advances and we retreat (please subscribe!)

"Mr. Governor, there is news from the Xiamen government!" Song Hao, an aide, opened the door and reported to Yao Qishenghui, who was carefully considering the sand table.

"What news?" Yao Qisheng asked in a deep voice.

"Master Wan asked the governor to send troops together to encircle Quanzhou!" Song Hao said.

"That's very good. We will rush back to Wan Zhengse three hundred miles away. When he arrives at Quanzhou Prefecture, we will send troops to prevent him from delaying."

During this period, after studying the defenses in Fujian's coastal areas, Yao Qisheng, Wu Xingzuo, Shi Lang and others were very worried that Zheng Kezang would take the opportunity to attack Kinmen Island, which was isolated overseas, and then attack Xiamen!

If another mansion is lost like this, the support of these frontier officials will be lost.

So he issued several orders urging Wan Zhengse to attack.

Yao Qisheng himself did not dare to send troops, because the battle report from Quanzhou said that more than 5,000 pirates had landed ashore, but Yizhou Island was so close to Quanzhou, so it was very convenient to transport people.

There is probably an unknown number of elite pirates hiding around Quanzhou Prefecture!

When he thought of this, Yao Qisheng sighed deeply. The current situation in Fujian is very dangerous.

In Fujian in recent years, in the temporarily disordered society after the war, the phenomenon of strong bullying of the weak and official bullying of the people is widespread, so wealthy families have sought official positions one after another.

Unless the environment is too harsh, Chinese people do not like to move. On the contrary, they prefer stability and pursue an unchanging life and work.

Therefore, the best way to attack Xiamen is to land from the sea rather than fight across the mountains.

Yao Qisheng is a strange person. Perhaps he thinks very highly of himself. When he was the governor of Fujian, he always fell out with the navy admiral. Wan Zhengse had not had a good relationship with him when he was the navy admiral, and Shi Lang did not have a good relationship with him.

Nowadays, news in Fujian is very tight. Quanzhou Prefecture knows that King Zheng has arrived, but other places are still kept in the dark.

During this expedition, Wan Zhengse made some mistakes and took away all his belongings and family in Xiamen.

Zheng Kezang believes that priority should be given to the development of Yizhou Island!

After a few more trips to the Qing Dynasty, the population of Yizhou Island is expected to exceed 500,000.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have received news that ten days ago, Tatar Admiral Wan Zhengse led 50,000 troops to besiege Quanzhou City." Liu Guoxuan hurriedly reported.

The reason was very legitimate, and Yao Qisheng could not push him too hard. After all, he was well-read in poetry and books. In history, Sun Chuanting was pushed to death by Chongzhen.

"Ten days ago? They also climbed to Quanzhou City. Why can't our sentries even see their shadows? Could it be that they are secret soldiers passing through the corridor?" Zheng Kezang was slightly confused.

I don’t know if Wan Zhengse deliberately released the news about Wan Zhengse’s dispatch of troops to Quanzhou, and it reached Zheng Kezang’s ears.

He never imagined that Wan Zhengse's army was still camping in the mountains before Quanzhou and Xiamen!

"Maybe he's afraid of us and doesn't dare to come!" Zheng Kezang laughed.

Although the commander Wan Zhengse has been ordered to attack them severely - who still doesn't know the roots of the Fujian Green Camp?

Even the defense of Quanzhou Prefecture failed in such an ugly manner.

If you say it casually, the truth will be revealed.

Because he felt that now the whole of Fujian might be attacked by Zheng Kezang, and only his army was the safest. Even if they were defeated, they would have their own soldiers to protect them and run away together.

It seems that Wan Zhengse also exaggerated his military strength.

Therefore, the common people did not know what was going on with them.

At this time, the Minhai Fleet had already transported 50,000 people, and there were so many unregistered and landless farmers in Fujian that Zheng Kezang couldn't take them anymore!

There is money to be taken and land to be distributed, and the enthusiasm of the people is high!

Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, life in Fujian was so miserable that even Yao Qisheng could not stand the previous folk ecology of Fujian.

But the premise is that Wan Zhengse goes to lead the battle first. This shows Yao Qisheng's sinister intentions. It doesn't make sense to hold his own troops still and let others attack him.

With such an environment, it’s no wonder that so many Fujian people took advantage of Zheng Kezang’s temptation to immigrate and leave.

It would be a ghost if Wan Zhengse could really kill Zheng Kezang.

To the ill-intentioned Yao Qisheng, Wan Zhengse's reply was: prepare food and grass.

We can only hope that Wan Zhengse's army can delay for some time and prevent Zheng Kezang's army from running wild along the coast of Fujian!

Once there is hope of holding back, he will immediately encircle it. By then, 60,000 troops will besiege Quanzhou City, and even Monkey Sun will not be able to escape.

Those who were lucky enough to be assigned to the Luzon Protectorate were even happier, saying that they had never wanted to be a master in their entire lives, and they had achieved it in Luzon!

Why? Because the natives there have been trained by the Luzon native guards and militia to be extremely obedient, and they are superior to others in Luzon.

He can even command Spanish white slaves!

Since the phenomenon of officials and wealthy households privately buying and selling official positions and officials could not be completely banned, Yao Qisheng thought it would be better for the Qing Dynasty to publicly mark the price and allow private citizens to subscribe to the title.

You must know that "born here, raised here", the concept of settling down and relocating is rooted in the memory of the Chinese people.

It is so wonderful to moisten the Qing Dynasty!

This time, 40,000 yuan went to Yizhou Island and 10,000 yuan went to Luzon.

After a month of slow preparations, the supplies and troops were assembled. Seeing that there was no reason to delay, Wan Zhengse finally sent out troops. The 30,000-strong Green Battalion marched northward.

Half of Xiamen is made up of mountains, and the vast, long and towering mountains are very suitable for Wan Zhengse to hide.

If you want an official position, even if you have a false title, you have to have money to clear the way. Qing officials who have the power to appoint officials and appoint officials can make a fortune through this, and everyone is happy with the benefits.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are also very confused, but many businessmen and people from Xiamen have said that they have seen Wan Zhengse's Green Camp." Liu Guoxuan rubbed his head and was confused.

They told their unwilling relatives that when they arrived at King Yanping's territory, they would have new clothes to wear, a new house to live in, the land was very fertile, and there would be enough food.

Of course, he must have selfish motives for advocating this. His son Yao Yi was born in Zongna, and he rose from an official to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.

In addition, during the time that Wan Zhengse was delaying, those who immigrated first had already sent letters home.

The Green Camp was very ferocious, and the people were very afraid of it. But what surprised the people passing by was that these soldiers and horses turned back every three steps, as if they were traveling instead of fighting.

The skills of the Green Camp soldiers in other places are on the same level as those of Quanzhou Green Camp, not much better.

However, once these people join the ranks of government officials, they have the qualifications to compete with the lower class people, making people's lives more and more miserable.

"Your Majesty, it is really possible. You have defeated him before." Liu Guoxuan suddenly realized that he knew the brutality of the Guards, and if he were Wan Zhengse, he would be afraid of them.

"Uncle Zhongyong, it's just the right time for him to come. Let's leave Quanzhou to him and let's go to Xiamen!" Zheng Kezang has already had a countermeasure. There is no need to fight a tough or stupid battle with the Tatars.

Isn't it wonderful to change places after just one shot? Now he has the final say on the sea and controls the two islands of Jin and Xiamen.

Just do what you say, Zheng Kezang gave an order, and all members of the Guards stopped the "recruiting fellow villagers" operation and gathered towards Quanzhou Port one after another.

Xiamen is in danger!
