Chapter 3: Hangzhou Victory (1)

"Report...Hangzhou victory..."

A horse galloped on the streets of Yangzhou, heading towards the Yangzhou Palace.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

Zhu Yinglong, who was sleeping sweetly with his arms around Magu's pink body, was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yinglong was awakened less than an hour after lying down. He was very unhappy and crawled out of the quilt and shouted outside.

"Your Majesty, Hangzhou is a great victory, and the news has reached Yangzhou." An excited and trembling voice came.

"What?" Zhu Yinglong was excited and jumped down. He ignored his underwear and was naked, so he was about to rush over and open the door.

At this time, Ma Gu had already woken up. Seeing this, she hurriedly ignored the excitement of Chunguang, and grabbed Zhu Yinglong, who was very excited and said, "Master, how can you behave like this?"

Zhu Yinglong looked down and immediately understood what Ma Gu said, and smiled awkwardly: "I am so excited. Fortunately, Fenghuanger, you are here to remind me, otherwise I will make a big joke."

Magu quickly got up, and while dressing, he had to dress Zhu Yinglong. However, Zhu Yinglong was never used to other people's clothing, but Magu believed that this was the duty of being a wife. It was difficult for ancient people to pass on clothes. In addition, he was a little busy and his speed was much slower than usual. Zhu Yinglong even kept swearing in his heart that he must reform the clothing of the Ming Dynasty and simplify the complex.

After finally, the two of them stopped dressing, but they found that it was almost dawn.

"Good news!" Zhu Yinglong opened the door frame excitedly and walked towards Mao Xiang who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Mao Xiang didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately handed over the good news in his hand.

"Let's go to the study and order Zhuoba. Zhou Wenyuan will come to see you immediately, and the Yangzhou prefect, let him come and wait for his orders." Zhu Yinglong took the memorial to report the victory, and before he could read it, he ordered first.

"Yes, the emperor!" Mao Xiang quickly responded and followed Zhu Yinglong's footsteps.

The memorial to report the victory describes the process of the Hangzhou battle in detail, including how to spread rumors, how to set up a scam, how to lead Zheng Zhilong into the trap step by step, how to capture Zheng Zhilong's 60,000 troops, and the process of capturing Zheng Zhilong and others alive. The narrative seems to be understatement, but the process must be thrilling and thrilling.

Song Xiance actually has two major premises to formulate and implement this plan of "Please enter the trap". Both of these two premises are indispensable. First, Zheng Zhihu did not send back the news that he encountered the imperial navy in time. After the defeat in the naval battle, he had the opportunity to send the message, but he did not send it. The reason was that he fled in panic after the defeat and lost his due calmness. Another was that he imprisoned He Bin before the war, which was simply a big help from Song Xiance. If He Bin was free at that time, with his calmness, he would definitely send a message to Fujian, but he was in prison and powerless at that time. The second was Hong Chengchou's strategy to land in Qiantang.

It was also under the name of Zheng Zhihu's "King Army". Although he fought with Qin Ruhai in Qiantang, regardless of the people or the governments of the pseudo-dynasty, almost all regarded Hong Chengchou's landing troops as the vanguard of the army for Zheng Zhilong from Fujian to go north to serve the king. He was just an impulse with Qin Ruhai. The foolish governor Li Shi saw that Hong Chengchou had no intention of attacking Hangzhou City, and also regarded Hong Chengchou's partial army as Zheng Zhilong's vanguard. He turned a blind eye to Hong Chengchou's army sending troops to take over Lin'an, Yuhang, Dusongguan and other counties and passes, and almost blindly believed. If he replaced him with a smart and capable official, he would probably not be easily confused.

Under these two premises, Song Xiance can calmly arrange this dangerous "please get into the trap" plan, and the key to this plan is how to make Zheng Zhilong believe the truth he forged. Therefore, he quickly adjusted the plan to chase and kill Qin father and son to force Qin father and son to escape into Zheng Zhilong's army, so that Zheng Zhilong knew something that seemed to be true, and then sent a courageous and knowledgeable general to completely disrupt all the truths that Qin father and son said in front of Zheng Zhilong.

On the contrary, the unexpected battle at sea was said to be the spy that the Qin father and son were deliberately betrayed. Ming was to kill someone with a knife, but in fact it was to disrupt Zheng Zhilong's judgment. Then he continued to assist the rumors, making Zheng Zhilong feel that he was getting closer and closer to the truth, and he believed more and more what he heard and analyzed. When Zheng Zhilong believed the truth he made eight to nine points, the people around Zheng Zhihu who instigated him would go to be the messenger. In this way, Zheng Zhi

Long firmly believed in this fabricated truth, and walked into the trap step by step without knowing it. The whole link was linked one by one. If one error or a hint of flaw was revealed, the entire plan would be self-defeating. It seems that the chance of success of this plan was slim. Especially Zheng Zhilong has a think tank like Zheng Ding around him. However, this extremely powerful think tank is powerful, but he also made a huge mistake with the Zheng brothers, that is,

Blindly confident, he was arrogant and arrogant with the 60,000 elite army in his hand, and with the support of powerful water forces, they seemed to be basically invincible, so they were invited to board the ship one by one by Hong Chengchou and others, and then landed on the shore and disarmed. Except for Zheng Ding's final discovery that something was wrong and was killed for stubborn resistance, this was no different from being surrendered. Before the 60,000 Fujian army had already become prisoners, the commander was captured, and the three brothers were reunited in prison.

The victory in Hangzhou was almost complete. The core of the matter was not Song Xiance's strategy, nor was it the coincidence of opportunity. God was destined, but the "Confidentiality Ordinance" issued by Zhu Yinglong and various military regulations. Without these words and deeds that strictly restrict the words and deeds of officers and soldiers, it is difficult to ensure that some secrets have been leaked. The entire plan is just a word "secret". If it is done, the entire plan will be free of water. If it fails, it can only be considered as God's will.

Zheng Zhilong's defeat was so fast and so fierce that the impact on the battle situation in the southern battle was immeasurable. It can be said that it objectively determined that the victory or defeat of the southern battle was in sight. If the victory was the victory, the victory of the southern battle was in sight. If the recovery of Jiangnan territory was on the horizon, the defeat would be trapped in the quagmire of war. It is very likely to drag the country to death or even destroy the country. The impact of this great victory was far more than this, and it indirectly affected the situation in Liaodong. This is a later story.
