Chapter 1033 Zheng Sen and Chen Yonghua

The terrain of Nan'ao Harbor was complex, and Wang Yin was unwilling to risk the ship being stranded to enter the bay to kill, so he ordered the fleet to force the bay to set off firecrackers from afar.

The red-clothed cannon has a range of up to ten miles, which is a weapon for naval battles. However, it is not easy for the Zheng army fleet to hide behind a series of islands.

As it got late, Wang Yin ordered the fleet to evacuate and stationed on Dongshan Island, more than ten miles away from Nan'ao. Although he had 30,000 people, he was all navy troops, and it was not easy to train soldiers who were good at boat racing. Especially Western-style warships such as the Galen ship, they were unwilling to be used in landing and seizing the island. Therefore, Wang Yin needed to wait until Jin Shenghuan came with his infantry and then transported the infantry to the island in a fleet.

...

On Nanao Island, Zheng Sen sat on a chair with a gloomy face.

The disastrous defeats and successive defeats made the morale of this Jingnan Army, which had just raised its troops, depressed. It no longer had the morale of capturing Kinmen, occupying Xiamen, and capturing several prefectures in Quanzhou!

As the leader of the army, Zheng Sen has been in high spirits at the beginning and has been sad now.

The Tartars invaded, refugees were everywhere, and mountains and rivers were shaking. The situation in the Ming Dynasty was so dangerous. Faced with this situation, Zheng Sen made great ambitions when he entered school, and wanted to follow the examples of his ancestors, manage his family, govern the country and pacify the world, and do something grand and vigorous.

However, at the most critical moment of the Ming Dynasty, King Chen Yue of Qi emerged from nowhere, rescued Emperor Chongzhen, defeated King Fu who was trying to usurp the throne, and stabilized the situation of the Ming Dynasty that was as dangerous as a burying.

Zheng Sen, who was studying in the Imperial College in Nanjing at that time, was so envious of Chen Yue that he regarded Chen Yue as his idol.

Therefore, when the Manchu Tatars went south and a group of Eight Banners crossed the river to attack the city of Nanjing, Zheng Sen stepped forward to reorganize and reorganize the defeated Zheng family and made contributions in the battle to defend Nanjing.

Zheng Sen also entered the official career and served as the important position of military supervisory governor. In the following years, Zheng Sen led his troops to fight in Huguang and Zhejiang, fighting the Western thieves and fighting the Shun thieves, and began his military career.

Chen Yue led his troops to the north, and Zheng Sen was ordered to lead troops to defend Xiangyang, threatening the surrender thieves in Guanzhong. Finally, Chen Yue succeeded in the northern expedition and drove the Manchus out of the pass. At that time, Zheng Sen was so happy that the Ming Dynasty could revive again.

However, who knew that after the victory of the Northern Expedition, news of the chaos in Fujian suddenly came, and then the news of Zheng Zhilong's defeat reached Zheng Sen's army in Xiangyang. The murderer behind Zheng Zhilong's death pointed directly at King Qi Chen Yue, because there was a very obvious shadow of the Eastern Band behind the rebels of Ainengqi.

When Zheng Sen heard this bad news, he couldn't believe it but could not believe it. Because he knew the conflict between his family and the King of Qi. Whether it was the maritime dispute between the two families or the Zheng family who had tried to support the King of Tang as his heir, it was not impossible for the King of Qi to secretly deal with the Zheng family.

The hatred of killing his father and destroying his family all determined that Zheng Sen had to be incompatible with Chen Yue.

Zheng Sen believed that his talents were not inferior to Chen Yue, and all he lacked was opportunity. At that time, he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands and followed Chongzhen's imperial edict and Du Yinxi to wipe out the rebels. Zheng Sen at that time believed that with his own abilities and tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he would definitely be able to wipe out the rebels. He vowed to fight with Chen Yue well.

Zheng Sen was even more grateful to the other country. However, in the battle of Jiujiang, facing tens of thousands of Jiangxi riots, Zheng Sen was beaten to death. At that moment, he was almost discouraged and did not want to return to Du Yinxi's army, but instead sneaked back to his hometown in Fujian with a few confidants.

When he returned to his hometown in Fujian, he heard the news that Chongzhen and Chen Yue had reconciled Chen Yue to return to Beijing.

Zheng Sen knew that Chen Yue had the power of the court, which meant that it was impossible to rely on the court to suppress Chen Yue. Zheng Sen was so unwilling that he was able to raise troops to calm the crisis. In order to avenge and for the great ambitions in his heart, Zheng Sen was willing to bear the reputation of rebellion.

However, Jingnan raised troops was like a joke. Chen Yue did not call on the invincible Northern Expedition Army he was trying to beat him up. Just the navy led by Wang Yin had already beaten him up.

It was completely dark, but Zheng Sen stopped the servant from lighting the lamp. Sitting on the chair and looking at the dark sky, Zheng Sen was thinking about the way to break the deadlock.

The situation is so dangerous, where should I go?

The loss of Kinmen and Xiamen is even in danger even when Nan'ao, where he is now located. Although he has tens of thousands of troops in his hand, Zheng Sen did not have the confidence to defend Nan'ao Island. After all, the gap between his army and the Ming army is too big.

There was a sound of footsteps, and then there was a shout from the guards guarding outside. From the conversation, Zheng Sen knew that the person who came was Chen Yonghua, and Zheng Sen had always been full of favor for this wise boy.

"It's Chen Zongjun, let him come in!" Zheng Sen calmed down and shouted in a deep voice.

The servant lit the candle and took advantage of this time Zheng Sen calmed down his frustration and adjusted his emotions. As the leader of the army, he knew that he must not show weakness in front of the zodiac.

"General system!" Chen Yonghua bowed to Zheng Sen with his fists.

"Chen Zongjun, is there anything wrong with me coming to find me so late?" Zheng Sen asked.

Is it late? Chen Yonghua looked at the sky and it was just dark.

"The general system, the situation is already very urgent. Please ask the general system what are your plans?"

"What are your plans?" Zheng Sen repeated and asked back, "I wonder what you think of Chen Zongjun?"

Zheng Sen is quite sane now, and he can come up with an idea for a while, but he knows that Chen Yonghua must have some insights on the reason why he came here at night.

Chen Yonghua said: "General system, the situation in front of him is already very dangerous. Now King Qi has firmly sat in the court, and his powerful force has forced almost no one in the Ming Dynasty to fight against it. These days, the world in his subordinates will be broken by the Jinyiwei in various places, and many brothers died at the hands of the court's eagle claws.

Originally, many gentry supporters from all over the world, but in recent days, under the tyranny of the Jinyiwei, there are very few gentry who dare to contact us, and the support on land is almost cut off.

General system, if the situation continues, Wang Yin doesn’t need to come to attack the island, and the trap will also trap us to death. Although Nan'ao Island is large, it is impossible to supply so many troops!”

As Chen Yonghua said, Zheng Sen's brows became deeper, and he didn't know Chen Yonghua's words. Tens of thousands of troops and their families, the number of people on the island was nearly 100,000. It was not easy to rely on Nan'ao Island to support so many people!

"The general system, since Nan'ao cannot be defended and there are no reinforcements outside, we should break it and we must give up something. We should evacuate Nan'ao before more Ming troops arrived!" Chen Yonghua's face showed a firm look.

"Retreat, where to retreat?" Zheng Sen asked softly. He didn't know that Nan'ao could not be defended, but how easy was it to retreat?
