The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 503 The Way of Being a Minister

Most of the rebels did not pay attention to Fuzhou City.

Instead, they were fighting each other, trying their best to decide a winner.

But this is only temporary!

When the battle outside the city is decided, the victor will receive his spoils with the most proud attitude.

Fuzhou City!
At that time, Fuzhou will definitely change hands.

A group of family guards can withstand the siege of sporadic soldiers, but they certainly cannot withstand the organized attack of the army.

Everyone can't help but worry about it!
Cai Yaozu was also worried, not knowing when the Ming army would arrive...

If the Ming army doesn't arrive again, the city of Fuzhou is really in danger!
……

Off the coast of Fuzhou!

The huge fleet came covering the sky and the sun, and the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag, the big flag with bright characters, and the flag of the Fifth Infantry Division representing the number of the troops were flying above the fleet.

They are approaching the coastline little by little!

In the distance, several small fishing boats fishing on the sea saw this scene. The sailors on board were shocked, rowed their oars desperately, turned around and ran away.

For fear of being involved in the military disaster!

Compared with these small fishing boats, the tall and tall warships in the Ming army fleet are like the gap between elephants and ants.

boom!Boom!

Several patrol ships of the Fujian Navy appeared on the sea, seeing the menacing Ming army fleet, they quickly issued an alarm.

Dangdang Dangdang!
clang clang clang!

The piercing metallic sound of communication sounded one after another, spreading towards the water village.

The officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy in the water village were awakened by the sound of the siren, and they all started to prepare to fight the invading enemy.

However, when they sailed out of the water stronghold in their warships, they met the fleet of the Ming army head-on.

The tall hull and the countless black muzzles on the side of the ship gave them a great sense of oppression.

Compare your own ship with the opponent's ship, and then compare the artillery on your own ship with the artillery on the opponent's ship...

The difference is simply too big to say!

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The general of the Ming army saw the Fujian navy who had killed him "aggressively", and ordered without hesitation.

The next moment, boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!
The earth-shattering sound of shelling resounded throughout the sea area.

One after another, the shells seemed to be free of money, pouring firepower at the place where the ships of the Fujian Navy were located.

As the shells flew horizontally, sawdust splattered the ships of the Fujian Navy, and water jets rose up on the wide sea.

Water mist fills the air, gunpowder smoke obscures sight!
The Fujian Navy's counterattack was quite weak. The two sides only fought for one round, and their momentum was completely suppressed.

They all chose to turn around and flee!
The Ming army did not pursue either, but headed towards the coast, preparing to land.

The warships are patrolling outside to ensure the safety of the fleet.

Troop transport ships and transport ships docked, and teams of Ming soldiers began to land.

After the vanguard landed, they did not wait in place, but rushed forward with muskets to carry out reconnaissance missions.

And set about building a line of defense, ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack.

Although from the current point of view, there is really no need to make such a fuss.

Because there was no Qing army to counterattack and land on the Ming army!
But the details determine success or failure. Even if there is no enemy in front of them, the Ming army strictly follows the drills.

After a team of Ming army soldiers and horses landed, roll call and team formation began according to different organizational systems.

Li Guangyuan also got off the boat, stood among the troops, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Send the whole army to rest in place!"

"One day later, the whole army marched towards Fuzhou City!"

Although it only takes about ten days to travel by sea from Guangzhou to Fuzhou, it is not too far away.

But there are still many Ming soldiers who can't stand the turbulence at sea and are severely seasick.

Without recuperating on the shore for a few days, the combat effectiveness cannot be fully exerted.

On the second day, just after dawn, the Ming army was ready to set off.

They lined up in a neat formation and marched towards the direction of Fuzhou City.

……

A fleet under the flag of the Zheng family is coming towards the city of Guangzhou mightily.

After entering the Pearl River Estuary, they closed the gun ports on the side of the ship to show that they were not hostile.

To prevent being attacked by coastal defense forts along the Pearl River!
Standing at the bow of the boat, Zheng Chenggong was mentally weak due to his old headache. Along with his originally strong figure, he became thinner day by day.

Looking at the cement forts on both sides of the Pearl River, as well as the constant traffic of large and small ships, Zheng Chenggong's originally depressed mood gradually recovered a little.

Today, he really sees the hope of Daming's recovery!
His Royal Highness Jian Guo is not only capable in running the army, but also in governing the country.

The province of Guangdong, which had become quite dilapidated in the flames of war, has gradually regained its vitality under the governance of His Highness Jian Guo.

It can provide Daming with a lot of money, food and taxes!

Coupled with the benefits from overseas, the current Daming can be said to have no shortage of money and food!

With sufficient money and food, coupled with an army capable of recruiting and fighting, it is no longer a lie to restore Daming.

This made Zheng Chenggong, who had received Confucian education since childhood, feel a kind of relief.

He understood that his efforts were not in vain!
Under the banner of Daming, he fought for more than ten years, and his efforts were not in vain.

It is really possible for Daming to recover!
Zheng Chenggong took his gaze away from the densely packed ships in the Pearl River channel, and asked Chen Yonghua who was beside him.

"Sir, what do you think Your Highness called me to Guangzhou this time?"

"What is your Highness's attitude towards the matter of this king wanting to change his son?"

Chen Yonghua was stunned by the question, hesitated for a while, and told the truth.

"Students don't know!"

"But I think if the prince insists, His Highness will not object!"

Zheng Chenggong frowned and fell into deep thought again.

Chen Yonghua persuaded again.

"My lord, from the students' point of view, although His Royal Highness's personal morals are deficient, it's not a big deal."

"Shouldn't it be to the point where you have to change your son..."

However, after his words fell, Zheng Chenggong's face darkened obviously, and Chen Yonghua stopped talking.

He is a counselor, not an admonisher. He can say some things, but since the lord does not accept it, there is no need to keep saying it.

Enough is the way to be a minister!
Zheng Chenggong waved his hand, signaling Chen Yonghua to back down.

He stood alone at the bow of the boat, feeling the bitter wind of the river, his sword eyebrows were furrowed and did not stretch.

Recently, Chen Yonghua was not the only one who persuaded him to give up the idea of ​​abolishing the son.

Almost all Zheng Jun's senior officials expressed their objections to this matter, either explicitly or implicitly.

To put it bluntly, what Zheng Jing did was not that serious, it was just a wet nurse, not Zheng Chenggong's wife and concubine.

Only a moralist like Zheng Chenggong would react so violently...

Or it is also possible that Zheng Chenggong also had an affair with the nurse, so after finding out about Zheng Jing and the nurse, he was so angry that he wanted to destroy the prince.
