Now the four generals in the room, Tong Guonai, Meng Qiaofang and Ma Degong are in the same group, and they all defected to Tong Yangjia. But Huang Wu is different. Huang Wu and the Zheng family have a deep feud, so he just wants to destroy the Zheng family.

Because Huang Wu is here, Tong Guonai is not good at telling the truth, so he has no choice but to say: "Okay, Kinmen and Xiamen are not connected to the mainland, so this battle mainly depends on the navy. If the water battle wins, the land battle will win. If the water battle loses, the land battle will not be necessary. So, please General Huang and General Ma! "

Most of the Quanzhou Navy's strength is in Yongning Wei and Zhenhai Wei, while Gaopu Wei, who are in the inland, are all army.

Ma Degong and Huang Wu heard Tong Guonai say this and quickly bowed to receive the order. Tong Guonai continued: "There are many reefs around Xiamen Island, and most of the Zheng family naval troops gathered in Kinmen, so this governor decided to fight the Zheng family army in Kinmen Liuluowan! General Meng gathered his troops in Tong'an, and after the navy won, he crossed the sea to attack Xiamen! Is the time set in five days, on the tenth day of August, what do you think?"

The three of them quickly expressed their no objection and would fight to kill the enemy. Next, Tong Guonai kept Ma Degong, while the other two returned to the camp to prepare.

Seeing the other two people leaving, Ma Degong asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong with leaving the last one?"

Tong Guonai sighed and took out the letter from the capital and handed it to Ma Degong to watch. After reading it, Ma Degong took a breath. Unexpectedly, these officials were so brave. You should know that more than 60,000 people were invested in this battle, and nearly 200 warships were lost for the little selfish interests of the cabinet masters?

"Sir, is this... true?"

Tong Guonai nodded and said, "Yes, the cabinet masters in the court have encountered trouble and need this failure."

"But... this is the lives of more than 60,000 brothers, which is too cruel!" Ma Degong is not a good person. When he was fighting, his hands were covered with blood from countless people, but that was a last resort. There was a big boss like the court who would send 60,000 lives with a letter. Thinking of this Ma Degong, he couldn't help but shudder. He thought that he was already cruel enough, but compared with the big figures in the court, he was like an old lady who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name.

"Then what can I do? You and my brother are different now than before. I can only rely on the big bosses in the court." Tong Guonai was also very helpless, but what can he do?

Ma Degong also knew Tong Guonai's difficulties, so he thought for a while and asked, "How do you want to lose this battle?"

"This is simple. Our army is not as strong as the Zheng army. Now it is mainly because of the five big ships under your command. As long as those big ships sink, you will lose this battle without fighting!"

In order to deal with the Zheng family, the court allocated five new Western warships to Fujian. It was these five warships that shocked Zheng Lian's ambitions. Otherwise, Zheng Lian would have come to the door long ago according to the Mengchong, sand ships and other small boats of the Fujian Navy.

It is precisely because these five warships are powerful that they have become the heart-to-heart treasures of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The sailors of these warships are directly under the management of the navy. The Fujian Navy Admiral has the power to command the battle and does not order these old men at all.

Ma Degong thought about it and said, "This is simple. Although those stewards are not ours, the quarantine officers on the shore are under ours. Find an opportunity to let them be in the fire.

More than a dozen were captured, and the remaining ones fled one after another. The largest five warships were the main targets of Zheng's army because of their huge size. Three of the five ships were burned down, one was captured by the Zheng army, and the other finally broke out of the encirclement and fled back to Yongning Guard.

The Ming army sailors also suffered great losses. More than 5,000 people were killed, more than 2,000 people were drowned, and more than 2,000 were captured. The main general Ma Degong was killed. Huang Wu was good at running away. He saw that he should not run first, so he did not follow the footsteps of Ma Degong.

Ma Degong really lost a lot of rice this time. He thought he had the upper hand and would not lose even if he lost. However, he didn't know that Zheng Jun was not a vegetarian. The Ming army was not an opponent at all. As the flagship of the fleet, Ma Degong took a boat and naturally became the main target of Zheng Jun's attack. Ma Degong was also killed in the Zheng Jun's heroic battle.

The navy was basically wiped out, and the Ming army did not seek any good luck on the land war. Meng Qiaofang learned that the Kinmen had already launched the Kinmen area, and immediately led hundreds of ships recruited to send the first landing troops, a total of 2,000 people. However, as soon as he landed on Xiamen Island, he encountered the encirclement of Zheng's superior forces. Originally, the total number of Ming army troops was more than that of Zheng's army, but due to insufficient transport ships, the landing battle became a fuel-added battle. After sending eight thousand people, Meng Qiaofang saw that it was impossible to fight like this. At the same time, news of the failure came from the navy, Meng Qiaofang retreated.

In the Battle of Liaoluowan, the Ming army lost more than 20,000 people, and basically all naval ships were sunk, while the Zheng army lost less than 5,000 people and more than 20 ships. The Battle of Liaoluowan ended with the Zheng army's complete victory.

The news of the Ming army's defeat reached Quanzhou. Yao Qisheng, as the supreme commander, was shocked. He did not expect the Ming army to be defeated so thoroughly. He felt very sorry for agreeing to Tong Dafang to fight this battle at that time.

Yao Qisheng gave a secret letter to the emperor in the capital overnight, reporting all his experiences and hearings in Fujian over the past month to the emperor. At the same time, the secret letter implied that Tong Dafang was mainly responsible for this failure. Of course, this was not Yao Qisheng's discovery of Tong Dafang's evil plan, but just an unconscious measure to save his life.

Yao Qisheng turned the blame on Tong Dafang, but Tong Dafang and Yuan Pengnian put the shit on Yao Qisheng's head, such as not knowing the enemy's situation and blindly fighting with the enemy, not understanding military command on the spot, etc. Anyway, all the responsibilities are your Yao Qisheng.

The secret letter between the two sides arrived in Beijing. Zhu Hongsanyi saw that Fujian, which was originally the least worried about, was now like this. He fought the war and lost, killing more than 20,000 people and sinking more than 200 ships.

Zhu Hongsan is now at a critical moment in order to reduce the power of the cabinet. This Fujian military newspaper has a great influence. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan can see from two secret documents that the failure of Fujian is not that simple, and there are the figures of the stinky old ninth cabinet shaking.

Zhu Hongsan rubbed his temples with his hands. Now he had no choice but to suspend his plan. Zhu Hongsan first issued an order to say that state affairs should be the priority, and the General Office of the Military Affairs Office temporarily took the government affairs, and at the same time ordered seven cabinet officials to restore their posts. In this way, Zhu Hongsan's idea of ​​using the power of the monarch to suppress the power of the prime minister completely failed.

After the seven cabinet officials in the cabinet were restored, they were happy that they finally defeated the monarch again. But they forgot that the monarch and the monarch were like both ends of the spring. After being suppressed again and again, the monarch had been compressed to the critical point, and now it was almost outbreak.
