Ming Zuo

Chapter 639 Self-destruction of the Great Wall
Regarding the war in Fujian, Shandong received information much earlier than the imperial court.

However, it is thousands of miles away, and it is on the vast sea, beyond the reach of Shandong.

The only thing the General Staff can do is to discuss the war on the sand table.

"Currently the Dutch are plundering the coast of Fujian. The Fujian local government can only defend passively on land, but cannot take the initiative to attack. Zheng Zhilong hides in Funing and watches the fire from the other side. It seems that he is preparing to reap more benefits."

Zuo Hua's judgment was unanimously approved by all the senior leaders of the new army.

Zheng Zhilong is a speculator.

In his heart, there is no national interest or national righteousness.

Some are just their own little abacus.

Not only did Zuo Hua personally visit the battlefield in Fujian in Shandong, but intelligence personnel from all over the country also kept sending back news.

Therefore, it is relatively comprehensive in terms of information.

"The Dutch are very arrogant, play very rough, and only focus on Xiamen. In my opinion, this time I am afraid they will suffer a big loss."

Zuo Yong studied the map and expressed his thoughts.

"In any case, the Dutch are doomed to lose this battle. After all, Zheng Zhilong is playing at home, taking advantage of the right time, place and people. There is no reason not to win."

Zuo Menggeng was even more determined.

Because he knows history.

"You mean...Zheng Zhilong can win a big victory?"

Huang Zongxi attached great importance to his ideas.

Zuo Menggeng nodded and shook his head.

"Based on Zheng Zhilong's preparation, victory is definitely possible. But if it is a big victory, it is absolutely impossible."

Zuo Menggeng walked to the side of the sand table and pointed to the terrain around Liuluo Bay.

"Look, although Liuluo Bay looks like a pocket, the sea area is very wide. Even if Zheng Zhilong concentrates all his strength, it is impossible to besiege the entire Dutch fleet in the bay. If the Dutch want to run, they will definitely be able to run away." Yes. Even if Zheng Zhilong's tactics were not subtle enough, he would not be able to beat the Dutch fleet at all."

Everyone lay down on the sand table, and after carefully studying the terrain of Liuluo Bay, they had to agree with Zuo Menggeng's words.

Liuluo Bay is not so much a bay, but more like an open sea.

Here, the fleet has enough space to turn around, so it is impossible to fight a war of annihilation.

Another one, after all, the Dutch have strong boats and cannons, and they are far superior to Zheng Zhilong in terms of weapons.

This advantage is too obvious, so the Dutch have enough room to choose.

"Then tell me, what tactics will Zheng Zhilong use?"

Zuo Menggeng chuckled, and took it for granted: "Is there anything else besides fire attack? If you really want to shoot at the Dutch artillery, Zheng Zhilong doesn't have enough boats to fight."

Based on the configuration of only two cannons on each ship of the Zheng Group, it is impossible to be an opponent of the Dutch Galen ship anyway.

Even if Zheng Zhilong bought a lot of Napoleon guns, the lack of firepower density is still irreparable.

But the Chinese have a wonderful way of fighting water since ancient times.

That is Fire Attack.

And for the fire attack regardless of cost.

No matter how powerful the Dutch fleet is, it will definitely be unable to resist the overwhelming fireboats rushing towards it.

Now that Shandong is completely pacified, the new army has temporarily stopped and entered the rest stage.

Zuo Menggeng and others had more time to pay attention to the situation in various parts of the world.

"In Shanxi, with Hong Chengchou's entry into Jin, we predict that the Northwest rogues will have less and less space for their activities. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them."

Liu Yiyuan talked eloquently about the war in Shanxi, giving full play to his role as the chief of the general staff.

Just at this time someone came in and presented a piece of information to Zuo Menggeng.

After Zuo Menggeng saw it, he couldn't help chuckling, and teased: "Chief Liu, this time you've failed."

Liu Yiyuan looked over.

"What happened?"

Zuo Menggeng passed the information over.

"There was a conflict within the Ming court, and Cao Wenzhao was demoted to Datong. Hong Chengchou lost his sharpest spear. I think the battle in Shanxi may be delayed for a long time, and it will be confusing."

Everyone looked at each other.

I really thought of everything, but I didn't expect that the Ming court would destroy the Great Wall by itself.

In order to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits in the Northwest, the Ming Dynasty concentrated all the troops that could be mobilized in Shanxi, hoping that they could complete their achievements in one battle.

But as the saying goes, you are not afraid of bad things, but you are afraid of bad people.

At such a critical time, someone within the Ming Dynasty actually dismantled the stage.

The cause of the incident was a censor named Liu Lingyu.

In the early years, when Cao Wenzhao was in Hongdong, he had conflicts with Liu Lingyu, who was at home at that time, and formed a grudge against each other.

But this time during the encirclement and suppression of the northwestern bandits, Liu Lingyu was transferred to Henan, where he served as the inspector censor, and met Cao Wenzhao again.

When Yang Yuchun besieged Wang Ziyong, he was defeated by Li Zicheng, and he was defeated and died.

At that time, Ma Fengyi, the chief officer of Sichuan Shizhu, was not far away. After learning about the situation, he quickly sent troops to rescue.

But Ma Fengyi was short of troops, so he couldn't beat Li Zicheng at all.

Just when Ma Fengyi was about to repeat the same mistakes, fortunately Cao Wenzhao arrived.

Cao Wenzhao rushed on his horse and caught Li Zicheng by surprise, so he rescued Ma Fengyi.

Of course Ma Fengyi was very grateful for this, and immediately set up a banquet with wine to treat Cao Wenzhao well.

Just above the banquet, old enemies Cao Wenzhao and Liu Lingyu met.

The past enmity was aroused, and the two of them broke up because of disagreement.

Cao Wenzhao yelled at Liu Lingyu and led the army away.

As a civil servant, how could Liu Lingyu endure such great humiliation?
After going back, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the heart of revenge could no longer bear it.

"Master is a high-spirited husband, standing upright, and also responsible for monitoring, how can he be allowed to be arrogant and domineering like a mere martial artist? My Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions here, and even the servants feel worthless for Master."

A beautiful woman of national beauty slipped into Liu Lingyu's arms like a snake.

Liu Ye's eyebrows were tightly clustered, and Liu Lingyu's depression was somewhat relieved by the look of a common enemy.

"Beauty calm down, he is just a martial artist, it is easy for the old man to handle him."

Liu Lingyu was stunned, with an ugly face, and hugged the beauty tightly, without the dignity of an official.

That beauty did not regard Liu Lingyu's old, ugly and weak as evil, and tried her best to flatter her.

The pleasure under the bed made Liu Lingyu so fascinated that he forgot about the world and heaven.

He didn't see at all that the depths of the beauty's eyes were full of pride.

It is no surprise that this beauty is Xu Yaqing, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus.

The government and army oppressed on all sides, and the life of the Northwest bandits became more and more difficult.

Xu Yaqing saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

She was hoping that the northwestern rogues would turn the world upside down and provide her with a chance to take revenge.

How can we allow the northwestern bandits to be wiped out?
She knew that the most capable person in the army was Cao Wenzhao.

As long as this person is dealt with, the northwestern rogues will surely be able to get a respite.

Bai Lianjiao is dead but not stiff, and has great magical powers. He quickly found out the contradiction between Liu Lingyu and Cao Wenzhao.

Xu Yaqing found an opportunity and used her beauty to get close to Liu Lingyu.

Not only that, but also operated secretly, and sent Liu Lingyu to Henan to meet Cao Wenzhao face to face.

Next, even without her eye drops, how could Liu Lingyu, a narrow-minded civil servant, not find his way back?
