Chapter 440 I want to recover Zhejiang Qiuyue
Zheng Chenggong showed a look of panic and quickly said respectfully: "Your Majesty just give me orders."
"I just received a report, and Shi Lang once again led his troops to harass the coast of Ningbo. More than a dozen villages were burned by him. This is simply challenging my bottom line."
Zhu Youlang's previous attitude was to first recover Nanzhili and then attack Zhejiang.
But Shi Lang was so provocative that he stepped on Zhu Youlang's face. If Zhu Youlang did not respond, what would the ministers think? What would the people of the Ming Dynasty think?
He came to Zheng Chenggong to discuss the specific details.
Zheng Chenggong was obviously a little surprised, and then he said angrily: "This thief has repeatedly jumped to show that the Ming Dynasty's court is as if nothing is available. I would like to lead troops to conquer."
Zhu Youlang was very satisfied with Zheng Chenggong's attitude.
Zheng Chenggong mentioned this himself, so Zhu Youlang didn't need to mention it anymore.
"King Zhong decided to lead a few troops to attack?"
"Return to Your Majesty, 50,000 naval commanders are enough."
Zheng Chenggong could actually mobilize a total of 70,000 to 80,000 naval forces, but he could not transfer all the troops and had to leave 20,000 to 30,000 to defend his family.
After all, Chongming Island has just been recovered, and if the Tartars attack the Yangtze River again, some people will have to be stationed.
Zhu Youlang nodded and chose to believe Zheng Chenggong's judgment.
At least at the level of water war, Zheng Chenggong should know much more than him.
Zhu Youlang is not a leader who interferes in everything in every detail. The concept he has always adhered to is that professionals do professional things.
Since he chose to believe in Zheng Chenggong, he would let Zheng Chenggong go and do it.
"I personally see you off."
Zhu Youlang said lightly: "I hope King Zhong will win a great victory, eliminate the enemy, and return to victory as soon as possible."
Zheng Chenggong clasped his fists excitedly and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
However, Zheng Chenggong left the palace and returned directly to the mansion.
According to the current rules, he had to wait for the formal procedures of the Ministry of War to mobilize troops to fight.
At first, this made people feel a little uncomfortable, but Zheng Chenggong also knew that this would become a normal situation in the future.
After all, the court has its own rules, and it is impossible to let a few warlord generals call for the wind and rain.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Zheng Chenggong told his son Zheng Jing about the good news.
Youdao is to fight the tiger brothers and fight father and son soldiers.
This time, Zheng Chenggong planned to bring Zheng Jing into the formation.
After a period of training, Zheng Chenggong found that Zheng Jing's ability in handling internal affairs has been significantly improved. Zheng Jing, who stayed in Nanjing several times, did a great job.
But to become an excellent general and become his successor to Zheng Chenggong, these are not enough.
If you don’t lead your troops to fight in person, how could you grow up in the last war?
During the Battle of Denglai, Zheng Jing only led a partial division after all, and the scale and strength of the army were insufficient.
Moreover, Gan Hui is not easy to tell Zheng Jingming in some places.
In this case, Zheng Jing’s improvement is really limited.
Now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, Zheng Chenggong will certainly not miss it.
He wants to make Zheng Jing grow rapidly through his words and deeds.
After all, the future of the Ming Dynasty is Zheng Jing and the others. When these old guys retreat, the young people will be able to take over it.
"Father, are you saying that the emperor has issued an order to lead your troops to encircle Shi Lang?"
Zheng Jing also seemed very excited. He has been so suffocating in Nanjing these days that he had long wanted to go out for some breath.
"The emperor has already made an oral order, and the formal will will come down soon. You can finally kill the thief with your own hands. How about you, would you like to go with You Father?"
Zheng Jing nodded quickly and said, "The child is willing to follow his father to the death."
Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, he asked just this question and did not seek Zheng Jing's opinion.
"When the food, grass and fresh water are ready, we will go to the expedition!"
Zheng Chenggong waited for so long and finally waited for this opportunity.
Shi Lang, I have been tolerating you for a long time.
This time, let’s calculate the new and old hatreds together!
Taizhou Prefecture.
Lang Tingzuo was furious when he learned that Shi Lang took the initiative to lead his troops to harass the coast of Ningbo Prefecture.
Isn’t this equivalent to leading the Ming army to Taizhou?
He lived a comfortable life all the time, but was completely broken by Shi Lang's rash actions. No one could bear it.
In fact, Lang Tingzuo has been watching the situation, and he must be unable to wait and see if Shi Lang makes such a move.
In this case, it would be a real ghost if the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack.
In general, the Qing army in Zhejiang still has strength, with a total force of 70,000 to 80,000, which is known as a hundred thousand.
There are also hundreds of naval warships. However, the control of this part has always been in the hands of Shi Lang.
Lang Tingzuo is just a nominal commander and cannot get involved in many aspects.
Although Lang Tingzuo is disgusted by Shi Lang now, he really wants to fight with the Ming army, but Shi Lang is something that Lang Tingzuo cannot avoid.
Lang Tingzuo calmed down and ordered the servants in the mansion to carefully pick up the broken teacup he threw away, and then went to ask Shi Lang to go to the mansion for a discussion.
Alas, he was forced by Shi Lang to fight. Now Lang Tingzuo has no choice at all.
But Shi Lang felt so proud after learning that Lang Tingzuo asked him to go to the government office.
When Shi Lang took the initiative to ask for a fight, Lang Tingzuo was there to push Tai Chi, which really made Shi Lang very disgusted.
It was impolite to come but not go, and Shi Lang also disgusted Lang Tingzuo for a while.
Now Lang Tingzuo has to lick his face and beg him?
Humph, if I had known today, why would I have to be the first one?
What a shameful bone.
Shi Lang scolded Lang Tingzuo fiercely in his heart, but he still had to give the face he deserved.
Shi Lang changed into an official robe and rode his horse to the government office.
Needless to ask, I know that Lang Tingzuo was already panicked at this moment.
In this case, Shi Lang can take the initiative to ask about preparations for the war.
Lang Tingzuo and others were very anxious here. When Shi Lang walked into the official office, he stood up and greeted him.
"Oh, General Shi, why did you come? I have something important to you."
"Oh? The last general came immediately after hearing the summons of the Governor. I wonder what the Governor has to give?"
Shi Lang seemed to be smiling but asked clearly, and was simply feeding Lang Tingzuo flies.
Lang Tingzuo had no choice but to smile and said, "I don't know if General Shi is real or fake? You just set fire to more than a dozen villages along the coast of Ningbo. Have you forgotten? If you made such a big noise, can the Ming court not respond?"
If Lang Tingzuo didn't ask a question with a smile, Shi Lang really suspected that he was trying to punish him.
Even so "kind", Shi Lang still felt very uncomfortable.
"Is this a blame for the last general?"
Shi Lang asked half-jokingly.
"Haha, General Shi misunderstood."
Lang Tingzuo stroked his beard and said, "I am looking for General Shi to discuss defense with General Shi."
He paused for a moment and said, "Ningbo is very close to Taizhou, so it will be faster if we walk on the sea. If we don't prepare in advance, we will probably only be beaten when the Ming thieves attack."
"The war has not started yet, so the Governor is scared?"
Shi Lang shouted, "It's not that the general of the last boasts. As long as the general of the last, Zheng Chenggong will not be able to take advantage."
Lang Tingzuo thought to himself that you are bragging so much.
Did you, Shi Lang, miss the previous battles?
Is it your idea of taking the initiative to attack Nanjing? But what was the result? With a Ma Fengzhi, more than 100,000 troops were beaten by Zheng Chenggong and fled in a panic.
Lang Tingzuo really wanted to point out these old things and humiliate Shi Lang severely.
