Lin Cha is an old man from the Zheng group. He led his troops under Zheng Zhilong's command. Later, the Longwu Dynasty was destroyed and the Zheng group was scattered. He did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but followed Su Guansheng and others to support Shaowu as emperor. He was the most important armed force and general of the Shaowu Dynasty. In comparison, Zhou Rui was from Fujian, but was an old general of the Lujianguo Group and Zhou Hezhi's cousin. However, just before and after Chen Wen came to this era, the Zhou brothers were in conflict in the Sanpan of Wenzhou, and there was no war. However, the result was that Zhou Rui defected to Zheng Chenggong, and Zhou Hezhi defected to Ruan Jin and parted ways.

As for the latter two, Chen Yaoce and Liu Guoxuan were both surrendered generals. The former and Zhou Rui were important contributors to the great victory in Xiamen in history, while the latter was the last general of the Zheng Group. They have not yet made a fortune, so Chen Wen almost didn't notice this person.

But coincidentally, Liu Guoxuan was one of the five tiger generals of the Zheng group in a martial arts novel in later generations. Chen Wen also had one, and he is now in this camp.

"This is Chang'an Houmaxin."

From the surrendered generals in the Green Camp in Taizhou to the current Chang'an Hou, Ma Xin is also a long-time general who has made many military achievements, which is very trustworthy by Chen Wen. Zheng Chenggong naturally heard of him, especially last year, Ma Xin led Nantang Camp to defeat Liang Huafeng in Songjiang Prefecture, effectively restraining the follow-up reinforcements in the Susong area. Although Zheng Chenggong was defeated in the Battle of Nanjing, it did not prevent Zheng Chenggong and the generals he brought to Ma Xin solemnly and expressing his gratitude.

"Tomorrow, we will fight to conquer Quanzhou, and we will be spared today. We will enter Quanzhou tomorrow and have a drink to celebrate the city."

Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong sat together on the upper side, Ming Chong left, Chen Wen was the prince, and Zheng Chenggong was the prince, so Chen Wen sat on the left and Zheng Chenggong sat on the right. The two generals sat on both sides of the two commanders according to their respective belongings.

They gathered together and whispered for a brief exchange. Although Zheng Chenggong was shocked by Chen Wen's confidence, Chen Wen was famous after all in the siege.

The first bastion taken out on the Chinese battlefield was also the first to capture the bastion, and the time was pitifully short. For example, Ganzhou's strong city ruined Li Chengdong, and Jin Shenghuan's two-year investigation, Hu Yousheng, the famous city defender of the Yongli Dynasty, failed to hold on for even a day in front of Chen Wen. Geng Jimao inherited several long-time generals from the old Dongjiang Army from his hands, but compared to Chen Wen and the famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army, it was still too far apart.

Since there will be a siege tomorrow, there will be no wine at the banquet, and there will be no female musicians. Even if the chefs of both armies have shown their skills, the generals in the tent are still indifferent. After almost all, they will return to their respective troops to lead their troops after eating.

At night, Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong sat in the tent. After drinking tea, they exchanged some of their own experiences and brought them closer together. It was not until a long time later that Chen Wen said, "It will be a matter of time before the recovery of Nanjing, and the Northern Expedition will be done. But before that, Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, Hao Jiushang and Ma Xiong and other fence-bearing plants were cleaned up as soon as possible, they would be uneasy."

Chen Wen said this, but Zheng Chenggong said nothing. Now the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the strongest among the various vassal states in the Southern Ming Dynasty. None of them, even if the Xiying combined together cannot be compared. This is not only reflected in the number of troops, but more importantly, the war potential of Jiangsu and Zhejiang occupied by Chen Wen is far higher than that of other regions.

Zheng Chenggong just nodded, whether he agreed or heard it, he did not express it clearly. Chen Wen did not care about this and continued to say to Zheng Chenggong: "In addition to these fence-in-laws, Sun Kewang's narrow emperor was not a good-for-nothing lamp to make the bandits of the princes. Last year, our commander's army attacked Hangzhou, and he created a conflict with our army in Yuanzhou. In recent years, the envoys have also seen many people's unofficial etiquette. To be honest, as far as I know, the King of Xining returned to the west to take the emperor back from Sun Kewang."

Zheng Chenggong was not unheard of what Sun Kewang looked like, but Sun Kewang was much stronger than Li Dingguo before, and Qin Fan was even a supporter of the third game of the Lu Ping. For Zheng Chenggong at that time, both in the success rate and because of Qian Qianyi, the strategy maker, Sun Kewang was more important than Li Dingguo, even in the existence of in-laws.

"Oh, I'm just afraid that I will hurt the emperor."

Yongli is the common leader of all Ming troops in the world. If this flag is cut down, then the Ming troops will be trapped in the battle for great contributions, each holding up the royal family at hand, and then falling into an endless civil war. The Qing Dynasty took advantage of this period of time and the damage caused by the civil war to the Ming army, and could regain strength and gain the possibility of sweeping the world again.

Internal fighting was the biggest internal problem of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Even Chen Wen was excluded from the civil servants and vassal states, Donglin Party and eunuch Party, Dongxun and Xixun, and conflicts between different provinces and different factions, not to mention those private grudges and slaughter. Internal fighting between large forces and large forces, and internal fighting between small groups. Even Chen Wen was excluded on Dalan Mountain and encountered rebellion in Jinhua Prefecture. He did not have the possibility of unity and force outward until the internal system matured.

How could Chen Wen not know what Zheng Chenggong meant? Since we met this time, we must make things clear before we can have the next cooperation.

"It's true. To be irrespectful, although the character of the God of Heaven is relatively, well, and weak, no matter what, everyone is now standing under this banner. It's better to do their own affairs than to support a royal family and let the Tartars take advantage."

Chen Wen just didn't take Shang from the inside and outside. Geng was forced to do so, but the forces that were forced to do so were regarded as Ming army. Zheng Chenggong looked down on them, but the two of them were in their respective positions still made him feel uncomfortable. However, Chen Wen showed his attitude towards Yongli, so he could let go of another thing.

"Didn't you bring the Prince Xigong Concubine of King Lu and the Prince Rong mentioned in Fu Ren's previous letter this time?"

Hearing this, Chen Wen shook his head and then said, "I foresee that it would be smooth before sending troops, but I didn't expect it to be smooth. The Concubine Xigong and the Crown Prince are still in Jinhua. I will send someone back to pick him up tomorrow. It is also a merit to reunite with His Highness King Lu as soon as possible."

As soon as Chen Wen said this, a stone hanging in Zheng Chenggong's heart fell to the ground. Chen Wen did not bring Rong and Liu Ge. Rather than fearing that there would be any damage in the war, he did not intend to see King Lu at all. As long as the Concubine Xigong and the Crown Prince returned it to King Lu, Chen Wen would have no bargaining chips to change to King Lu once Yongli died. As for other royal families, Chen Wen had expressed his attitude earlier, that is, they were strictly prohibited from returning to the fiefdom to avoid unnecessary trouble for the distribution of land.

"After this battle, Fujian was determined, but there should be many bandits and pirates. I think it's safe to let the royal family stay in the middle of the throne. After all, they are all royal relatives and nobles. If there is any damage to running around, it is really difficult for us as ministers to explain to the emperor in this way."

"Daki said so much, it should be like this."

An agreement was reached on the issue of the royal family, and Chen Wen expressed that he would no longer follow the attitude of King Lu. Zheng Chenggong reciprocated his favor and also controlled the vassal kings who were granted vassals in Jiangxi in Fujian for Chen Wen. Both sides benefited each other and took their own needs, which was the basis of cooperation.

With the foundation, the next thing will be better discussed. Chen Wen invited Zheng Chenggong to come this time, and Quanzhou agreed to give it to Zheng Chenggong.

The reason is very simple. Zheng Chenggong's core base is located between Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. Now Zheng Chenggong occupies Zhangzhou, but the direction of Quanzhou will still be threatened. Only when Zhang and Quanzhou are all in his hands will it be safer. In addition, Zheng Chenggong is from Nan'an, Quanzhou. This gift of meeting was considered to be the reward for Zheng Chenggong to penetrate the Guazhou River Defense for him last year. Otherwise, the Qing army fled to Nanjing would not have been left in Jiangnan in large quantities.

In order to achieve this and the next cooperation, Chen Wen's attack on Fujian this time, the navy did not follow, in order not to violate Zheng Chenggong's right to control the sea and trade in Fujian. Chen Wen is so powerful now, but he can take the initiative to show goodwill. Zheng Chenggong will not worry that Chen Wen bullies the small by using the big to the small, and cooperation can be achieved in a true sense.

"Fujian is restored, where will Damu be going to be next?"

Chen Wen's meaning is very clear. His army will march into Guangdong and Guangxi and uproot the fence-bearing grass. Zheng Chenggong really hopes to get Chaozhou so that his military rations can be guaranteed, but Chen Wen has to worry about his existence during the Northern Expedition. Once the tacit understanding between the two sides is destroyed, not to mention anything else, Zheng Chenggong can't bear it just a trade embargo similar to that against Liu Qingtai.

"Master, the place is now under the jurisdiction of the Red Barbarians, and I plan to take it back."

As expected, he still had to go to Taiwan. After getting this answer, Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, since Zheng Chenggong already had this idea, he no longer had to bother selling Zheng Chenggong.

At this time, the Dutch colonists were a family in Taiwan, and there were various indigenous tribes. In history, Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, but until his grandson Zheng Kezhen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Zheng group's control over Taiwan was limited to the southwestern coast, and other areas were the territory of indigenous tribes.

The Zheng family group was like this for decades, and the same was true for more than two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty. The difference was that it was only through the efforts of Han immigration that it barely expanded to the coastal areas in the north. Even the map of Taiwan when the Qing Dynasty was kicked open the country was only on the coastal areas in the west. Most of the Taiwan-Qing Dynasty controlled by the indigenous tribes did not officially draw the map until Japan became coveted by it.

"Since that's the case, I'll give Damu another gift, I think it can help you."

"oh?"

Zheng Chenggong's curiosity was ticked up by Chen Wen, but Chen Wen did not rush to take out the gift, but instead kept it a secret, saying that Zheng Chenggong would see it tomorrow.

Chen Wen was like this, and Zheng Chenggong had to smile. However, the two had a great time talking to each other that night, and many of the previous knots were relieved in their prospects for the future.

Zheng Chenggong decided to regain Taiwan. In addition to gifts, Chen Wen also expressed the preferential treatment for military rations trade in Chaozhou and the principle of non-interference in the Fujian-Sea trade. Zheng Chenggong expressed his willingness to cooperate with the dispatch of some sea ships to assist in the war during Chen Wen's northern expedition. As a grain transport ship, it is possible to escort warships.

This was a big surprise for Chen Wen. After all, at first he just wanted to stabilize Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong marched into Taiwan. During the Northern Expedition, Chen Wen probably had to be deeply involved in the war with the indigenous people and could not extricate himself. It was not that the indigenous people were so powerful, but the geographical location of Taiwan belonged to others, and it was very uncomfortable for the regular army to cross mountains and forests. In addition, the wilderness was so wild that just a discomfort could make Zheng Chenggong fall into the quagmire.

However, in Taiwan, a large amount of sugar cane is planted in areas controlled by the Dutch. In this era, the huge price difference between Chinese sugar products and other regions could make Zheng Chenggong make a fortune. In this way, Zheng Chenggong benefited from economic benefits, and Chen Wen obtained absolute stability on the southeast coast during the Northern Expedition. He believed that Zheng Chenggong would have some psychological preparation for this before he could give it to his mouth. Win-win is the king.

On the second day, the army was preparing for food at the third update and the camp was launched at the fifth update. The two sides of the north and south routes were dispatched at the same time to increase the pressure on the defenders and create a better defense environment for the main attack direction.

After the army was finally arranged, Chen Wen was too lazy to say the nonsense of persuading surrender. He nodded to Zheng Chenggong with a smile, and then waved his hand. The Ming army artillerymen behind the formation pushed heavy artillery cars to slowly move forward. After arriving at the established artillery positions and fixing the artillery cars, the gunmen lifted the artillery's cannon coats one by one. In a blink of an eye, huge black muzzles after another pointed to the vast sky between the artillery positions and Renfengmen, the east gate of Quanzhou Prefecture City.
