Hong Chengchou had a long talk with Zhao Liangdong and analyzed various possibilities.

The court must have punished Zhao Liangdong, otherwise it would not be enough to calm the anger of the government and the people.

Zhao Liangdong, the scapegoat, has been decided from the moment he returned from a crushing defeat, just to see how much the charge can be reduced.

Hong Chengchou will definitely do his best to protect Zhao Liangdong.

But it is not up to him to decide whether he can keep it or not.

Zhao Liangdong was naturally a little discouraged.

However, he also knew that this was not Hong Chengchou's problem, mainly because of Oboi.

Even if Hong Chengchou's memorial is full of magnitude, Obai can expose it as long as he submits one letter at the same time.

"You should keep a low profile in these days, stay in the mansion and don't go out."

Hong Chengchou said this to be like disguisedly putting Zhao Liangdong under house arrest.

Zhao Liangdong also knew that Hong Chengchou was doing his best, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I won't cause trouble for you anymore."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, go down."

...

...

Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Anlong, was very happy to learn that Zhao Liangdong had a crushing defeat.

This fire was too timely. Hong Chengchou and Obai were restless, right?

The Qing court repeatedly urged Hong Chengchou to attack Sichuan, but now it was a crushing defeat. What is the face of the Qing court? What is the face of the young emperor Shunzhi?

Wu Sangui wants to see how this farce ends.

When Wu Sangui failed and returned, Hong Chengchou and Zhao Liangdong, the two cubs, were cynical.

Now, it's still a clamor when things fall on me.

Now Wu Sangui feels more and more that his decision to Guiyang immediately was very wise.

If you continue to stay in this large dyeing vat, you might be so embarrassed.

Anlong is a good place, with high mountains and far away emperors. Old man Hong can't care about him!

One can be said to be an accident, but you have to reflect on it twice.

It seems that the Ming army is indeed a little trick.

During these days in Anlong, Wu Sangui has been thinking about where to go in the future.

Although the Qing court suffered several defeats in succession, its size was there.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it will still be a situation where the Qing army continues to encircle and suppress the Ming army in a short period of time.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Wu Sangui will not leave the Qing army openly.

As long as Wu Sangui was under the banner of the Qing army, he could get a steady stream of supplies from Anlong.

Next is to wait and see what’s going on.

What Wu Sangui most hopes is that the world will be in chaos again, and it is best to be in chaos to the end of Chongzhen.

Only in this way can an ambitious man like him have the opportunity to play.

Looking back at that time, he kept swaying between the three regimes of Ming, Shun and Qing dynasties, and made a lot of profits with a Guanning army and a Shanhaiguan.

How could this be done if it weren't for the troubled times?

Generally speaking, Wu Sangui's plan is to take advantage of the troubled waters.

Only when the water is mixed enough can he play his advantages.

How to grasp this balance?

Wu Sangui felt that as long as the Ming army could capture Huguang and any province in Guizhou, chaos began.

Of course, it was much more difficult for the Ming army to capture Huguang than for Guizhou.

But the benefits are also much greater.

Huguang is the world's granary.

If Huguang can be captured, the Ming army will no longer be a problem!

At that time, it was time for Wu Sangui to perform.

He didn't mind becoming a scattered army.

The Liujun is good. The Liujun can break through any bottom line and can plunder and replenish the needs of the army without any scruples.

Zhoushan, Shuangyu Port.

The first fleets returning from Fuso have entered the port.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the food unloaded from the ship, and the firearm was in a very good mood.

After this journey, it was considered to be a thorough understanding.

If there is no accident, you can get a certain amount of supplies through the business trip to Fusang in the future.

To gain a foothold in Zhoushan, the Ming army must also receive sustainable supplies.

In addition, Zhang Huangyan suggested establishing several more strongholds near Siming Mountain to form a corner with Siming Mountain.

In this way, if Siming Mountain is attacked next time, the remaining places can provide timely support and avoid excessive losses.

After all, Shuangyu is on the sea and sometimes it cannot react in time.

Zheng Chenggong is more supportive of this.

Just because Zhang Huangyan has to worry about the location selection.

You definitely can't choose a county town like Yuyao.

Such a goal is too obvious, and the Qing army will definitely not allow it and will attack at all costs.

In isolation and helplessness, even if you take down these cities, you can't defend them.

It can only be a mountain like Siming Mountain, which has dangers to guard and will not be too obvious.

"Damu, these are some places I have selected. Come and take a look."

Zhang Huangyan is very familiar with eastern Zhejiang and has preliminarily drawn up several places for drawing maps.

"This is Shuangniufeng, this is Woniuling, and this is Tuofengling."

Zhang Huangyan talked freely: "They are all first-class places suitable for building counterfeit villages. They are not far from Siming Mountain and can help each other."

"Brother Cangshui has considered the matter of Bing Ding?"

Zheng Chenggong is still very confident in Zhang Huangyan's location selection, but the matter of this soldier still needs to be discussed carefully.

The garrison of Shuangyu is barely enough, so we can definitely not divide the people to garrison.

There are many soldiers on the main island of Zhoushan, but do you really have to be transferred here from such a distance?

Zhang Huangyan seemed to be able to see what Zheng Chenggong was thinking, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this big tree. Many people are willing to join the army."

Zheng Chenggong said in surprise: "Are they the thousands of people brought back from Yuyao last time?"

“Yes, not all.”

Zhang Huangyan said proudly: "I have sent people to lobby these places, and many people are willing to join the Ming army."

Zheng Chenggong sighed: "Your Brother Cangshui is more than good-looking. If I go to lobby, I'm afraid that others will not pay attention to me."

Zhang Huangyan said a little embarrassedly: "Damu Yan is so heavy. I also wrote several handwritten letters with shame, and ordered people to sneak into the city and lobby around. There were also many people who refused, but in the end I didn't waste my energy."

After a brief pause, Zhang Huangyan continued: "What I want is to find an opportunity to move these people to the island first, conduct training for a period of time, and then send them basic weapons, find an opportunity to send them ashore and let them occupy these hills."

Zheng Chenggong nodded in agreement.

He also felt that necessary training was necessary for these people.

Otherwise, even if they were given weapons, they wouldn't be able to fight.

Isn’t it a waste of time to face the encirclement of the Qing army?

But in this way, the food consumption on the island will surge for a period of time.

But it is worth it to do this in the long run.

Only with more strongholds like Siming Mountain can it pose a complete threat to the Qing army.

More importantly, it can open up people's wisdom and allow more people to join the anti-Qing ranks.

"Brother Cangshui just let it go. I will definitely support this matter to the end!"
