Two flowers bloom, each with one branch.

However, after Yuan Jixian won a great victory on the Jiangxi battlefield, he immediately rushed south to attack Guangdong.

After the rebels of King Gui retreated to Guangdong, they set up heavy troops in Nanxiong and Huizhou prefectures to prevent and defend.

However, the advancement speed of the imperial army was amazing, and they successively conquered Baochang, Longchuan, Xingning and other places.

After these battles, the rebels of King Gui were already frightened. They ran away as soon as there was a storm.

The imperial army advanced steadily and had pushed the front to the periphery of Guangzhou Prefecture.

Ding Kuichu knew very well that if Guangzhou lost, he would have no place to settle down. So he issued a death order to defend the barriers of Guangzhou Qingyuan and Zengcheng.

The two sides fought fiercely for the two places, and they paid the lives of hundreds of soldiers.

In comparison, Yuan Jixian's mentality was more peaceful. His Majesty did not issue an order to conquer Guangzhou within a time limit, so he could calmly dispatch troops and generals without making any mistakes due to emergencies.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Jixian is now closing the door and beating dogs.

Ding Kuichu and King Gui had no other choice except to go to sea.

It is only a matter of time before Guangzhou’s advertisements are broken. What Yuan Jixian needs to consider now is how to capture King Gui alive, take him into the capital, and offer him to the captives.

As for Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, his life is not easy.

After losing to Ganzhou, Huang Degong followed closely.

The two sides first fought a war in Tingzhou Prefecture, but Zheng Zhilong was defeated. Then the war burned to Yanping Prefecture.

The two sides fought fiercely in Yong'an and had a victory or defeat.

Zheng Zhilong barely stabilized the situation through this battle.

But the good times didn't last long. Before Zheng Zhilong had time to take a breath, he learned that the court sent Shen Ce army to attack Xianxia Pass.

Xianxia Pass is located above Xianxia Ridge, at the junction of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. There is a saying that "the key between two Zhejiangs is locked, and the throat of Fujian is entered."

During the Chenghua period, Xianxia Pass set up a patrol department to guard it.

During Zheng Zhilong's administration in Fujian, he added more troops to Xianxia Pass.

Today, there are tens of thousands of defenders in Xianxia Pass.

But Zheng Zhilong was uneasy.

Huang Degong in the west has been chasing Yanping Mansion relentlessly.

If Xianxia Pass is lost again and the court army is allowed to go south to Jianning Prefecture, he will no longer have any danger to defend.

Although Fuzhou and Quanzhou are the core area of ​​Zheng Zhilong's rule, there are basically no dangerous passes in this generation. Zheng Zhilong's only hope now is to be able to defend Xianxia Pass. This will last longer.

Good fortune will never come alone.

Soon, news came that Zheng Sanhu returned in a crushing defeat.

The Zheng family navy, who claimed to be invincible in the world, suffered a crushing defeat in Ningbo Water Village.

Zheng Sanhu escaped by luck with the defeated generals and came to Nan'an, Quanzhou to cry to Zheng Zhilong.

However, Zheng Zhilong couldn't breathe and fainted directly.

It took a long time before Zheng Zhilong gradually woke up.

When he thought of the Zheng navy's loss, he felt heartbroken.

That unfilial son is all because of that unfilial son!

What a irony it is to be defeated by his own son!

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong was still thinking that even if Xianxia Pass was lost, he could still escape from the sea.

As long as you have an invincible navy in your hand, you can make a comeback anywhere.

But now this invincible navy is seriously damaged. Not to mention going to Xiao Liuqiu to fight with the Red Barbarians to grab territory, even controlling Penghu is not enough.

Without territory and no place to settle, what's the use of the Navy?

Does he really want to return to his old career and become the pirate?

Zheng Zhilong didn’t know if he still had that kind of spirit. You should know that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

But now we have to consider a way out.

The court pressed forward step by step, and King Gui was an A Dou who could not be helped.

Zheng Zhilong must make plans early.

He thought about it and came up with three solutions.

The first is to lead his troops to attack Xiao Liuqiu and use it as a place to settle down. The second is to go to the Qing Dynasty in the north.

The third is to travel to Japan.

The first option can have an autonomous land. However, the latter two are undoubtedly dependent on others.

Zheng Zhilong knew very well that this decision would be related to the rise and fall of the Zheng clan, so he was very cautious and unable to make a decision. He was actually waiting for the Qing court to send someone to negotiate with him.

But he couldn't wait.

The Qing court seemed to have forgotten it and no one was sent to communicate with it.

Zheng Zhilong's hatred in his heart.

He hates being with the wrong person.

Dorgon, an irresponsible dog bastard, was completely using him.

Now that he felt that he had no value for use, he kicked it away, as if nothing had happened at all.

But can this really be considered as not happening?

Of course not.

Zheng Zhilong took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

It seems that the road to Qing Dynasty in Beishangshang and Toutiao has been blocked.

There are only two roads left, one is to go north to Japan, and the other is to attack Xiao Liuqiu.

For a moment, he couldn't make any choice and rubbed his head in pain.

Although he has a good relationship with many Japanese daimyos, it is only at the business level.

If Zheng Zhilong brought such a huge armed navy to Japan, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from the local daimyo. The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and Zheng Zhilong would probably have a very unsatisfactory life if he went to Japan.

As for attacking Xiao Liuqiu, it seems that it is the best choice now.

Although the red-haired ghost fights sharply, the land fight is not very strong.

Zheng Zhilong firmly believes that as long as he logs in, he will be able to take control of Xiao Liuqiu sooner or later.

Before making such a major decision, Zheng Zhilong would often discuss with his tribe members, but now he doesn't even have a person who can speak intimate words.

It would be great if my fourth brother was still by my side.

When he thought of Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhilong felt a stinging pain in his heart.

Why, why does he value and his relatives he values ​​will betray him one after another.

First it was his son, then his younger brother.

Why is this? What mistake did he make? God wants to punish him like this.

Zheng Zhilong coughed violently, and he was about to cough up his lungs.

He finally stopped coughing, and took the pen and dipped it ink to start writing a handwritten letter.

The situation is not so bad that it is uncontrollable, and I have already planned to turn the tables.

......

......

A fierce conflict broke out between King Gui Zhu Youlang and Governor Ding Kuichu of Guangdong and Guangxi.

As the battlefield situation becomes worse and worse, the conflict between the two becomes more and more serious.

The two of them once wanted to meet each other.

In the end, although they did not break out of anger, they parted ways.

King Gui led the Guangxi rebels to withdraw from Wuzhou through Zhaoqing, leaving Ding Kuichu alone to defend Guangzhou.

Seeing this, Ding Kuichu gave up the last thought of resistance and led his confidant soldiers to flee on a boat.

This is the best thing in coastal areas, and you can't beat it and run away.

No matter how many troops you have, you can't block the sea, right?

Ding Kuichu no longer did these two governors, and Ding Kuichu no longer wanted to follow the dragon's merit. He just wanted to run away and run away now.

If the crime he committed was really arrested and brought to Beijing, would he not be confiscated and exterminated?
