Liu Liangzuo's face was a little solemn.

According to his original plan, he took Jining Prefecture and went north along the canal to take Linqing.

But now, not only did Jiningzhou not be able to take it down, but it lost a lot of troops. It was really a matter of stealing chickens and losing rice. It was a loss of wife and soldiers.

But since the rebellion was launched, there was no turning back, so I could only continue to walk on with the bullet.

After a battle with the Shence Army's Yongwu Camp, Liu Liangzuo found that the new army that the imperial court had just trained for a short time was far stronger than he thought.

Linqing is far more important than Jining Prefecture, and the number of government troops stationed there will only be more than Jining Prefecture.

At this time, no matter how you look at it, it is an unwise behavior.

If you do not continue to go towards Linqing, you cannot stay where you are. The army pursued by the imperial court is likely to be on the road, and continuing to stay here is waiting to die.

There are strong enemies in front and pursuers behind, and Liu Liangzuo couldn't think of a good idea for the moment.

"Or why don't we just turn around and kill Denglai."

Liu Zeqing's eyes sterned and he said loudly.

"Denglai?"

Liu Liangzuo was stunned.

"Since we can't walk by land, we'll walk by sea!"

After all, Liu Zeqing was the general of Shandong and had a very good understanding of the overall situation in Shandong.

"Now, in order to prevent the Qing army from moving south, the imperial court will definitely deploy heavy troops in Dezhou. In comparison, the troops in the direction of Denglai will definitely be very weak."

Liu Zeqing paused for a moment and continued, "Didn't Kong Youde and others just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the floating sea in Dengzhou? Now we only need to go to Tianjin, and the journey is closer."

"How wonderful!"

After Liu Zeqing's analysis, Liu Liangzuo also felt that running to Dengzhou by sea to Tianjin was a very good choice.

The court would never make any calculations that they would suddenly turn around and go east.

But he had just been excited and frowned and said, "But are there so many ships in Dengzhou now?"

Thirty thousand people are not a small number, and it would take a thousand ships to put them into the ship. If it were to be placed in the Apocalypse Period, this would certainly not be a problem when the Denglai Naval Division was just established. But now the Denglai Naval Division no longer exists, and Liu Liangzuo was very worried that Dengzhou would not have enough ships for them to escape in the sea.

"Maybe there are not so many warships, but there are fishing boats."

Liu Zeqing smiled and said, "We are not fighting a naval battle, we can take any boat!"

Yes! They were just going to escape. Is it important to have a warship? If there are not enough warships, they will rob the fishing boat. Liu Liangzuo didn't believe it. In such a large Dengzhou, he could not get a ship for 30,000 people to ride.

"Okay, that's it. Brother Zeqing, let's go to Dengzhou!"

......

......

"Original, good news, good news!"

Zhu Cixuan was looking through a memorial sent by Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, when the eunuch Liu Chuanzong, the eunuch at the Silijian, ran in with joy.

Zhu Cixuan rarely saw Liu Chuanzong lose his composure so much. He put down the memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Do you come from Shandong?"

Zhu Ciyang thought it was Huang Degong and Shen Ce Army who worked together to defeat Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, and thought it was nothing, was it necessary to be so excited?

"The emperor, it is not a good news from Shandong, it is Henan, Henan. Kaifeng has been restored and Kaifeng has a great victory!"

Liu Chuanzong knelt down on the ground, raised the news high above his head and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, Kaifeng is restored!"

Zhu Cilang's heart moved.

Not long ago, Gao Jie had just killed Xu Dingguo, Suizhou, and Kaifeng was captured in just over ten days?

Zhu Cixuan expected that the Qing army would be very weak in Henan, but he did not expect it to be so weak. Kaifeng is second only to Luoyang's big city. Gao Jie's easy capture of Kaifeng proves that the Qing army really does not have much military strength in Henan.

Zhu Cilang picked up the memorial and opened it to read it. The more he read it, the more he became, the more he was happy.

It turned out that when Gao Jie opened the seal, he used the gunpowder city bombing technique taught by Zhu Cilang in secret.

Facts have proved that this improved method of acupuncture is very useful. According to the original words in Gao Jie's memorial, more than a dozen walls of Kaifeng City were blown up.

If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Gao Jie's memorials had exaggerated elements. But Zhu Cixuan would not.

Because only he knows the power of the gunpowder bombing city best.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attacked Nanjing, it used black gunpowder to blew up the city wall that could not even be bombarded with red cannons, thus occupying Nanjing.

Although Kaifeng is also a majestic city, the solidity of the city wall is definitely not as strong as that of Nanjing.

Since the city walls in Nanjing can be exploded, it is not surprising that the city walls in Kaifeng have been exploded for more than a dozen places.

Although Zhu Cixuan knew the power of the black gunpowder bombing city, it had not been tested in actual combat. This time, Gao Jie used this method to win Kaifeng, which was equivalent to giving Zhu Cixuan a reassurance.

In addition to reporting the victory in the memorial, Gao Jie also asked the emperor to issue an order in a trepidated to continue to advance north.

Zhu Cilang is still very satisfied with this.

It is really rare for Gao Jie to be able to not be domineering at the time of great victory and put the court and the emperor first.

Don't worry whether he really thinks that way in his heart, as long as he does it with face, it is worth commendation.

Of course, the Northern Expedition must continue. One gram of Kaifeng, Luoyang, Huaiqing, and Weihui can be captured. If the northern part of Henan is captured, Shandong and Henan can be connected together. Even if the Qing Dynasty took Shanxi and Guanzhong, only these provinces will not be able to fight with the Ming Dynasty, which has most of the world.

Of course, Zhu Cilang did not blindly optimistically believe that Gao Jie could plow the courtyard and sweep the hole, hit the Huanglong directly, and restore Shenjing.

Although the main forces of the Qing army were all transferred to attack Shanxi and Shaanxi, there must be a lot of troops left near the capital. Because Emperor Shunzhi had moved the capital, Dorgon and Haoge were also there, and at least tens of thousands of elite troops were stationed in the capital.

These people are not the Green Camp Army, but the Manchu elite soldiers, and they are still very strong.

In addition, Henan and other places had to divide their troops to garrison, and even if Gao Jie attacked the capital, he was already at the end of his strength.

Once the front line is long, there will be problems with food and fodder supply. Gao Jie used his tired troops to attack the Qing Dynasty, but he did not have any advantage.

Of course, it is OK to try to push the troops to the outskirts of Beijing, so that they can intimidate the Qing court and make them jealous of weapons.

? "One pull gold, hey! Two pull silver, hey! Three pull jewelry is shiny, the sea will live up to the fisherman. How can you be afraid of the wind on a boat? What does it matter if you are sunbathing? You have to touch the pearl underwater drill, and you have to quickly lift the tent."

Early in the morning, fishermen in Hongluo Bay, Dengzhou Prefecture raised their throats and shouted fishing songs to go out to sea to catch fish. It is natural for fishermen to rely on the sea to eat the sea. Although fishermen call it the Ten Evils: the so-called "wind-scared evil spirits, no wind-scared evil spirits; if there is rain, it causes violent hunger evil spirits; if there is hot weather, the cold weather, the cold weather; if there are two legs, the shoulder blades are used to pick evil spirits; if there are three bars, the old and young people cry.

But at least it is enough to work hard for a day to get a full meal, and it is enough to survive in troubled times.
