The Ming army in Huguang was defeated, and the Qing army invaded Sichuan and Zhang Xianzhong was killed, and the situation in the world was once again in danger.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were both heroes who had been roaming the Central Plains for more than ten years. They had been struggling the world for many years. The Ming Dynasty tried every means but failed to annihilate the two thieves.

But who would have known that after the Qing army entered the pass, Li Zicheng was beaten to death by an old farmer, and when he died, Shunjun had 400,000 or 500,000.

After Haoge entered Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong was shot by Oboi with arrows while watching the formation. When he was killed, he also had more than 200,000 troops.

This is really strange. When Li Zicheng was beaten to only eighteen cavalry, he did not die. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Huang Degong several times, but he died even though he met the Qing army.

These two men have ruined the world. After the Qing army entered the pass, they should have taken on the responsibility of fighting the Qing army, but the two died one after another. They were very irresponsible and handed over the responsibility of fighting the Qing army to the Ming Dynasty.

And the Ming Dynasty, which had been tossed by the two of them at this time, was obviously unable to take on the great responsibility again.

In ancient times, the key to victory was the army and food.

Needless to say, the Qing Dynasty had already occupied an absolute advantage. In terms of food, the Qing army occupied the two Huaihe Rivers and Jiangnan, while the Ming army occupied half of Huguang and the Western army occupied Sichuan. The Qing Dynasty's advantage was not obvious.

But now, Zhang Xianzhong was killed, the Western Army fled from Sichuan, and Sichuan was occupied by the Qing army. The Qing army defeated the Ming army in Huguang, and Hunan was in danger, so the situation became serious.

If the Qing army occupied Hunan and all the granaries in the world were in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, there would be no hope in the Ming Dynasty.

Then Zhao Ming could only raid the coast, obtain supplies, return to the sea, concentrate on going south, occupying Taiwan, Qiongzhou, and Luzon, recuperate, reproduce population, develop science and technology, form a navy, block the mainland, force the Qing Dynasty to forbid the sea, and then wait for the opportunity of the two famous kings in Li Dingguo.

If it doesn't work, then wait for the rebellion and the fleet will take the two capitals directly.

Of course, these are all forced and the Ming Dynasty had no hope after the plan.

Now, although the Ming Dynasty is in a mess, as long as there is hope, Zhao Ming will not give up.

At this time, Zhao Ming would naturally not delay the rebellion and conceal the world with Hu dust.

After hearing Zhang Huangyan's words, Zhao Ming knew that Zhu Yihai was also working hard, intending to support the Ming Dynasty that was about to collapse.

There are many people like Zheng Zhilong and He Tengjiao in the world, but there are also many people like Zhu Yihai who support the Ming Dynasty with both hands.

Zhao Ming thought about it, Zhu Yihai, Zhang Mingzhen, Zheng Chenggong, Du Yinxi, and perhaps Li Dingguo in the future, they will reach out to support the Ming Dynasty. They are all people worth relying on.

In the Battle of East Zhejiang, less than half a year has passed. After Zhu Yihai was crippled by Duoduo, his strength has been restored, but he resolutely decided to launch a counterattack, which shocked Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Since your highness has decided, I will cooperate with Your Highness with all my strength."

Zhang Huangyan showed joy on his face when he heard this, but then he said in a negotiation tone: "Pinglubo's battle in the Yangtze River has rescued the siege from eastern Zhejiang. However, this time, Your Highness hopes that Pinglubo can send troops to rescue Jinhua in addition to the harassment of the navy!"

Zhao Ming's advantage is to send troops to Jinhua, which means he needs to go ashore to fight and stay away from the coastline.

This was actually a very dangerous thing for Zhao Ming, and the generals in the hall looked serious.

Seeing Zhao Ming's expression, Zhang Huangyan knew this request, which made everyone in Jintang Island feel a little embarrassed.

Logically speaking, he represented Zhu Yihai and could have forced Zhao Ming to send troops, but Zhu Yihai was not binding on Zhao Ming either, so Zhang Huangyan was very sensible. He did not directly order in Zhu Yihai's name, but continued to explain in a deliberate tone: "Pinglubo also knew that in the battle of eastern Zhejiang, His Highness suffered heavy losses. This time he took the risk to launch a counterattack to rescue Jinhua, and his troops were really insufficient. Therefore, His Highness hoped that Pinglubo could send a team of troops to directly rescue Jinhua."

Through the Tiandihui, Zhao Ming was quite familiar with the deployment of the Qing army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Since the last Battle of the Yangtze River, in order to prevent Zhao Ming from entering the Yangtze River again, Hong Chengchou built a fort along the river and left heavy troops to guard the Yangtze River.

If the six Dutch warships formed combat power, Zhao Ming would dare to make a breakthrough, but now, with the strength of Zhao Ming's naval army, it would be difficult to achieve the effect of entering the Yangtze River for the first time.

After Duoduo's main force went to Huguang, the Qing army stationed 100,000 troops in Jiangnan and 70,000 troops in Zhejiang. Apart from the Qing army stationed in the city, Boluo could mobilize about 50,000 troops.

From this point of view, compared with Jiangnan, the Qing army in Zhejiang was obviously weaker.

Zhao Ming pondered for a while and asked, "How many soldiers will your highness prepare to send out this time?"

Zhang Huangyan said: "Your Highness is preparing to fight in person. You will mobilize generals Fang Guoan, Dingxi Hou Zhang Mingzhen, Changyi Bo Li Chengdong and other generals to lead the army to fight, with a force of about 30,000. In addition, Your Highness also sent people to Xianxia Pass and asked the Zheng State to come out of the army."

Zheng Chenggong knew very well about the conflict between Zheng Zhilong and Emperor Longwu, and was very embarrassed when he got between them.

Zheng Zhilong contacted the Qing envoy, but Zheng Chenggong was not unaware. After he tried to persuade Zheng Zhilong to fail, he asked for his order to lead his army to Xianxia Pass and guard the important road into Fujian.

Fujian has many mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there is Zhu Yihai in the east, the sea in the south, Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, and southern Jiangxi in the northwest. They are all under the control of the Ming Dynasty. The only way for the Qing army to enter Fujian is left with Xianxia Pass in the northeast.

Zheng Chenggong could not do anything to Zheng Zhilong, so he decided to guard Xianxia Pass. As long as he guarded this place, the Qing army would not be able to enter Fujian.

During the crisis in eastern Zhejiang, Zhu Yihai asked Fujian for help, but Zheng Zhilong did not send troops, but Zheng Chenggong led his troops out of Xianxia Pass once and fought a battle with the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong was all newly recruited troops. Shortly after leaving the pass, he was defeated by the Qing army in Chuzhou and suffered a great loss, so he retreated to Xianxia Pass.

After defeat, Zheng Chenggong returned to Fuzhou to prepare for military equipment, money and food. Recently, he returned to Xianxia Pass, and Zhu Yihai also asked him for help.

Zhao Ming thought in his mind that if Zhu Yihai sent 30,000 troops, Zheng Chenggong sent more than 10,000 troops, and the Qing army controlled by the defenders of Jinhua City, he might not be able to fight even if he went ashore.

In the official hall, everyone was talking, Zhao Ming looked cold and his eyes were like a torch. After thinking for a while, he finally said: "Brother Xuanzhu, since it is your Highness's intention, I promised to send elite troops to rescue Jinhua. However, it will take some time for me to prepare before I can send troops!"

Zhang Huangyan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Pinglubo was famous all the time, and the Qing army was frightened when he heard this. As long as Pinglubo sent troops, great things would be accomplished!"
