"Zhirong, get up quickly. Do you think I want to fight, but don't fight? It doesn't matter if we die, what should our family do?" Zheng Zhibao pulled his cousin up and said sadly.

"Second brother, brother, take people to resist. You should quickly lead your personal soldiers to escape. As long as you can escape, our family will be taken care of." Zheng Zhirong said.

"No, Zhirong, you are wrong. I'm here to resist, you take people away. Because even if I return to Nanzhili, I will definitely be Liu Qingtai's scapegoat. He will definitely put all the responsibility for defeat on me. Instead of that, it's better to die in battle, which may save our family's lives."

"Second brother, if you die, our Zheng family will be completely over. Can I, a small deputy general, protect the Zheng family?"

"Zhirong, stop talking, just do what your second brother said. Return to Nanzhili and see if you can find a way to lead your family out. If you can escape, go to Taiwan to join Taier. Now it seems that the eldest brother's move to the Qing Dynasty was wrong."

"Second brother! I can't leave you alone, I'm going to die!"

Zheng Zhirong knew that Zheng Zhibao was right, but seeing that he was separated from life and death, he probably would have separated from yin and yang. His heart hurt like a knife.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the Ming army's fleet arrived, and a few dull explosions came, and a ship on the easternmost side was blown up to the sky with flesh and blood and wooden debris.

"Go away quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave!" Zheng Zhibao saw that the situation was critical, kicked Zheng Zhirong away and shouted loudly.

"Second brother!" Zheng Zhirong got up from the ground. Knowing that he had made up his mind, he had to kneel on the boat, kowtowed three times, stood up and left with tears in his eyes.

...

The more than 200 boats that solved Zheng Zhibao were all solved without waiting for sunset. In just one hour, they were all solved.

Except for Zheng Zhibao who committed suicide, the rest of the Qing soldiers surrendered either to die.

That is the hour Zheng Zhibao fought for, Liu Qingtai led 20,000 defeated generals to land on the east bank of Luoyuan Bay and fled north in a hurry.

Shi Lang received the report and quickly adjusted the combat deployment.

1. Order Shi Zhaolian to clean up the battlefield, gather surrendered troops, and confiscate warships;

2. Let Shi Zhaoxu lead the headquarters to chase the enemy ashore, and then lead a large group of troops to follow him;

Third, Chen Zhongwu was ordered to walk on the sea road and head north against the wind, striving to intercept Liu Qingtai south of Xiapu.

Shi Lang's arrangement is to put it bluntly to block the front and chase the back, and to wipe out Liu Qingtai's troops.

His arrangement was not wrong, but what he did not expect was that his arrangements were useless at all.

Why?

Because he ignored one person, that is Su Sheng.

After Su Sheng lost his troops in Funing and Xiapu, he led five thousand households, including Geng Wenguang, Ding Yaochen, Zhu Zhengse, Cao Tingxun, and Han Lianggui, to support Ningde, and joined forces with Ningde's defender Tang Ming to defend Ningde.

As the commander of Fujian and in charge of the soldiers of a province, Su Sheng knew that he had a heavy responsibility.

Because Fujian will definitely be a place to use troops in the future, especially the onshore defense of the coastline is very important.

Therefore, after he took office, he quickly launched the trick he learned from the imperial guards throughout the army, eliminating redundant soldiers and training elite soldiers, and putting ideological education in a very important position.

After more than a year of rectification, the mental outlook and combat effectiveness of the local garrisons in Fujian have been significantly improved.

Geng Wenguang, Ding Yaochen, Zhu Zhengse, Cao Tingxun, and Han Lianggui were all the hundreds of households he brought to the imperial guards. His loyalty and ability to lead troops were outstanding, so he was promoted to Thousand households and stationed in Fuzhou.

This time, the Qing navy suddenly invaded the territory. Su Sheng was anxious, fearing that the emperor would punish him, so he brought out all the elites as soon as possible.

After arriving in Ningde, Su Sheng quickly arranged city defenses to appease the people. Unexpectedly, after the Qing soldiers captured Xiapu, they would never fight south again.

Su Sheng couldn't help but wonder what the Qing soldiers meant, and always felt that it was not very normal.

Later, he received a letter from the Ministry of War and ordered him to defend in Ningde and not take the initiative to attack, waiting for the times to change.

In fact, even if the Ministry of War did not write, he would not dare to provoke Liu Qingtai. Although he had confidence in his army, he would do that only when he was crazy if he was crazy.

After the navy arrived in Xiahu, after Shi Lang made up his plan, he informed Su Sheng of military information and his military use plan, and suggested that Su Sheng defend the two counties of Luoyuan and Ningde to prevent the Qing soldiers from landing.

After receiving the military information report, Su Sheng looked at the map for a long time, made up his mind and summoned all his subordinates to discuss military information.

"My generals, we have been practicing troops for more than a year, and this time we finally have the opportunity to make contributions. Jing Haibo suggested that we defend Luo Yuan and Ningde to the death. I think he is too conservative." General Su Sheng said the situation and pointed to the map and said: "Please see, the navy will fight the enemy on the sea in three days. If Jing Haibo's plan can be implemented smoothly, the enemy will be driven into Luoyuan Bay. I estimate that after the enemy enters Luoyuan Bay, they will definitely not dare to fight, and they will definitely abandon the ship and go ashore. So, what will they choose after they get ashore?"

"To the south is Fuzhou, to the west is Luoyuan County Town blocking the way. I guess they would not choose these two routes, but would choose to go north and flee to Funing."

"And on this road, Ningde is the only way to go, and they can't get around it. Jing Haibo's meaning is very clear, because our troops are few and afraid that we are not the opponents of the Qing soldiers. Let us hold Ningde and Luoyuan tightly, and his army chases behind. If they catch up, they will destroy the enemy. If they can't catch up, they can only let the enemy go back to Funing."

"Thank you for your kindness, but he still underestimates people too much. We can't let him eat all the meat, so we have to bite him!" Su Sheng said.

"Mr. Dusi, you are right. Why don't we even let the soup be drunk when they eat meat? All the credits were made by the navy. Let's watch it? That's too embarrassing. Lord. Dusi, please give orders and let Uncle Jinghai take a look. Our soldiers in the garrison are not cowards!" Geng Wen said with his neck tampered.

"Yes, yes, Lord Dusi, just order it." Ding Yaochen, Zhu Zhengse, Cao Tingxun, and Han Lianggui also said excitedly.

"Mr. Dusi, we only have 6,000 soldiers. The Qing army is powerful. Even if some casualties and injuries are killed or injured in the sea battle, we can escape 20,000 or 30,000, right? Can we win?" Tang Mingchun expressed his disagreement.

"General Tang, if the Qing soldiers were defeated by Jing Haibo and landed in a hurry, they would inevitably be unstable and their morale would be low, and they would have become frightened. In addition, they would be afraid of pursuing soldiers behind them, and they would definitely not dare to stop, and their bodies would be very tired. What's more, our army is waiting for work. From Luoyuan to Ningde, there are mountains, and there are grenades and mines. The weather, place, and people are all there. Not to mention that there are only 30,000 or 20,000 tired soldiers, what's the fear of even more?" Su Sheng analyzed.

"Yes, Old Tang, are you too timid? Why do you look like a woman?" Han Lianggui curled his lips and expressed contempt for Tang Mingchun.

"Who is like a woman? Who is afraid of whom? Lord Dusi, I didn't say anything, fuck him!" Tang Mingchun said angrily.
