Zhu Youlang wanted to fish for big fish with a long line, but the facts proved that his choice was correct.

Judging from the information sent back by Jinyi Guardians from Fujian and Guangdong, both Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were moved and wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's Northern Expedition to attack north.

After all, not only Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao had detailed works in Nanjing, but also had spies in Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

The news that Zhu Youlang deliberately released obviously played a role, and the two couldn't help but temptation to take action.

This is actually what Zhu Youlang wants to see.

After all, the absolute strength of the Ming army can crush the two. Even if the two work together, they are not the opponent of the Ming army.

What Zhu Youlang was afraid of was fighting with the Qing army ahead and was attacked in his hometown.

So it would be better if this hidden danger could be solved first.

Of course, he also knew very well that the two old foxes, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, were both of them who did not show off their rabbits and did not show off their eagles. If they wanted them to really do it, Zhu Youlang would at least reveal some flaws.

When it comes to selling flaws, Zhu Youlang said that no one dares to be the first.

With this move, Zhu Youlang conquered countless cities.

Zhu Youlang, a detailed work of the Qing army hidden in Nanjing, knew very well, so he deliberately ordered the Ministry of War to mobilize the army to move defense. In fact, it was just to transfer the Nanjing army to Zhenjiang and then transfer the Zhenjiang army back to Nanjing.

Such things.

But in the eyes of those careful works, it is obviously a sign of the Northern Expedition.

The Ming army is going to make big moves.

With iron evidence in hand, they naturally would not hesitate at all. Fei Ge immediately sent a letter to send the news back to Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

It is now the end of February, and it is estimated that the Ming army will go to the full war in half a month!

By seizing this time difference, they have a lot to do!

Little did they know that what Zhu Youlang asked them to see was what Zhu Youlang wanted them to see, but what Zhu Youlang didn't want them to see, they couldn't see it at all!

Poor Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were still kept in the dark, and they had no idea that they had been deceived. After receiving the news, they were ready to dispatch troops to go north to make a profit.

According to the plan, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao led their troops north to join forces in Jiangxi.

Although there are their painful memories here, it is a must-pass way to travel north to Zhili, South.

If you want to attack Nanjing, Jiangxi is the only way to go.

However, they did not plan to stay in Jiangxi's territory for more purposes, they just borrowed a path.

This is a bit like the Qing army invaded from Jizhou and did not stay in the capital for much time, but went south to Shandong to rob.

In fact, the connection between these ancient cities was not as tight as imagined. There was a large wilderness between cities and the relationship was very loose.

However, this kind of long-distance march is also very risky. First of all, you need to ensure that the march is fast enough and you must also be able to gain an overwhelming advantage in battle. Otherwise, if the enemy encircles, there is almost no possibility of escaping from the sky.

The reason why Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were so confident was because they were sure that the main force of the Ming army had gone north. These defenders could not threaten them at all.

Even if they cannot take over Nanjing and shake the world, at least they will have no problem getting away with it without any problems.

But they did not expect that Zhu Youlang had already set up a net of heaven and earth, waiting for them to fall into the net of themselves.

...

...

Zhu Youlang was still very prepared for this battle. Because he wanted to achieve his merits and did not want to delay it anymore. Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, as the main forces of the fight, were against Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi.

Of course, this is not a decision made by slapping your head, but the result of careful consideration.

Because the two are very familiar with Fujian and Guangdong.

Needless to say, Zheng Zhilong was a famous pirate in Fujian back then. After surrendering, he was awarded the position of general by the court.

After that, the Zheng family became complicated in Fujian. It can be said that Zheng Chenggong spent his entire youth in Fujian after returning from Japan to the Ming Dynasty.

Although he later went to Nanjing Imperial College as a supervisor, it took only one or two years, which was completely incomparable to his time in Fujian.

Among this Ming army, if we talk about the familiarity with Fujian, if Zheng Chenggong said second, then no one dared to say first.

In addition, Shi Lang defected to Geng Jimao, and with the deep hatred between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang, Zhu Youlang didn't have to worry that Zheng Chenggong would not work hard.

As for Li Dingguo, his attack on Guangdong back then was the only black spot in the history of leading troops.

The Ming army was in a state of unstoppable power, and Li Dingguo also led his troops to attack Guangdong. At that time, he was famous and possessed by the god of war. The Ming army was also confident that he could take Guangdong.

However, when attacking Zhaoqing, the Ming army suffered a crushing defeat, and Li Dingguo had to withdraw back to Guizhou in a mess.

This battle, the Ming army was seriously injured, which was also an important turning point.

From then on, the Ming army basically lost its ability to take the initiative and could only passively retreat to defend the southwest, waiting for the Qing army to attack.

But the old fox Hong Chengchou did not attack, but chose to surround and consume.

Under this circumstance, the Ming army was gradually consumed. If Zhu Youlang had not traveled through time, he would have really embarked on the old path in history again.

Of course these are history.

As the saying goes, knowing shame and being brave. A person like Li Dingguo, who has a strong personality, will naturally not allow this dark history to exist for a long time.

As long as he is given a chance, he will do his best to prove himself.

Zhu Youlang asked Li Dingguo to lead troops to fight Shang Kexi to make him follow the trend and find his confidence.

As long as Li Dingguo develops confidence, he will be able to take the absolute initiative in the process of the Northern Expedition in the future.

In Zhu Youlang's opinion, Li Dingguo's ability to command troops is definitely the first. Although Zheng Chenggong, Li Laiheng and others are also very powerful, they are generals and not handsome.

It is very suitable for them to be a wingman for Li Dingguo, and it is indeed a bit reluctant to take on the main responsibilities.

Geng Jimao, Shang Kexi, you are looking for death and you can’t blame me.

After the two of them were wiped out, the only stumbling block for the Ming army's northern expedition was Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui, the shit-smuggling stick, is indeed an uncertain factor, but the benefits of attacking Yunnan are too low and the price paid is too high.

Zhu Youlang still wanted to deal with Wu Sangui after the Northern Expedition.

Otherwise, if the time delays, the Qing army will be restored to its vitality and consume more energy.

Zhu Youlang still wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty without bleeding.

In this battle, Zhu Youlang must be in charge of the army, so the prince should be kept as the governor.

This is a very good experience for Zhu Cixuan. Zhu Youlang wants to see how well Zhu Cixuan's current governance ability has been carefully cultivated for so long.

He doesn't need Zhu Cixuan to have the courage and ability of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but at least he must be what a founding king should do, right?

Of course, Zhu Youlang still has time, but he hopes that the prince will grow faster so that he can feel much more at ease.
