Chapter 215 Zheng Chenggong's Sword Points at Hangzhou Qiuyue
After some careful consideration, Zheng Chenggong decided to send troops to attack Hangzhou.
Shi Lang is really bullying others too much.
The heads of the soldiers' families were hung on the head of Hangzhou city.
Zheng Chenggong could not protect them during his lifetime. If they were not able to live in peace after their death and endured the wind, sun and rain, how could Zheng Chenggong face the soldiers who trusted him?
Zheng Chenggong finally regained the trust of the soldiers, so naturally it would not disappoint the soldiers.
Zhang Huangyan initially dissuaded Zheng Chenggong not to rush to attack, but saw that Zheng Chenggong was determined and no longer persisted.
However, Zhang Huangyan hopes that Zheng Chenggong will leave 30,000 soldiers to defend Nanjing.
In this way, even if Zheng Chenggong's attack is frustrated, Nanjing will not have any risks.
This time Zheng Chenggong adopted Zhang Huangyan's suggestion.
He left 30,000 elite soldiers in Nanjing, plus 30,000 people in Zhenjiang, and a total of 60,000 people in the entire Nanzhen defense line.
This force can be said to be very sufficient.
Moreover, with Zhang Huangyan assisting Zheng Jing, Zheng Chenggong was relatively relieved.
After pursuing his worries, Zheng Chenggong could attack Hangzhou without any worries.
Shi Lang dog thief, this time I must kill your dog's head in person!

...
After the Qing army conquered Zhoushan, Shi Lang attacked Siming Mountain and Shuangyu again.
But because the Ming army resisted fiercely, Shi Lang had to give up.
Shuangyu and Siming Mountain also became the last strongholds of the Ming army along the coast of Ningbo.
As the general of Simingshan, He Shouyi was naturally under great pressure.
Because Siming Mountain was once blood-stained by the Qing army, He Shouyi ordered people to patrol in front of the mountain gate to strictly investigate suspicious outsiders.
If there are spies from Qing army who have infiltrated Siming Mountain, the consequences will be terrible.
He Shouyi also ordered people to go to Shuangyu and reached an agreement with the Shuangyu guards. No matter which side was attacked by the Qing army, the other side would immediately provide assistance.
Although the Guo family conquered Nanjing, the distance was too far.
Far water cannot quench near thirst. If something really happens, Zheng Chenggong may not be able to come here.
Those who help themselves will help God.
He Shouyi must do all the preparations ahead and fight to the end with the Qing army.
"Sir General, the brother who went to Ningbo Prefecture to inquire about the news is back. The thief has no plans to advance to Ningbo yet."
He Shouyi felt a little relieved when he heard the news.
Since Shi Lang led his troops to slaughter Yuyao, He Shouyi has been worried that Shi Lang would turn to attack Siming Mountain.
Because Yuyao is too close to Siming Mountain.
Fortunately, Shi Lang suddenly led his troops to Hangzhou to garrison, giving Simingshan Ming army a chance to breathe.
But He Shouyi was always worried that Shi Lang would kill someone and retaliate, so he sent people to Ningbo Prefecture to find out the news.
This task is very dangerous, so He Shouyi does not make any rigid requirements. The brothers who went to find out the news were all voluntarily.
"But they brought back a message that the Prince of Yanping is going to attack Hangzhou!"
"What!"
He Shouyi was shocked when he heard this.
"My master from Guo wants to attack Hangzhou? Is this news reliable?"
"It's true that people in Hangzhou are now in panic. Men, women, young and old are discussing this matter."
"This is so good!"
He Shouyi and Zheng Chenggong met too late, and since they met Shuangyu, they have attracted him as their confidant.
On the other hand, Zheng Chenggong's troops were envious of He Shouyi.
This time Zheng successfully attacked Hangzhou, so He Shouyi naturally couldn't watch it.
No matter how difficult it is, thousands of people must be drawn to cooperate with Zheng Chenggong's attack.
"I don't know when the Guo surnamed will attack."
Time is critical.
If Zheng Chenggong had already arrived at the city, He Shouyi sent troops to Hangzhou again, it would seem a bit perfunctory and deliberate.
If Zheng Chenggong arrived before He Shouyi arrived, it would not be beautiful. After all, He Shouyi only had a few thousand people, and if Shi Lang went out of the city to fight, He Shouyi basically had no chance of winning.
"Additional personnel are always on the verge of Hangzhou, and they will immediately repay when there is news!"
"Abide by the order!"
...
...
In the city of Hangzhou, many officials gathered in the Governor's Office.
These are Langzezo's confidants.
Langhamzo summoned them to discuss the resistance to Zheng Chenggong's invasion.
"I believe you already know that the Zheng thief wants to invade Hangzhou and frequently mobilize his troops. The governor asked you to come today to discuss the defense matters in Hangzhou."
Langham winked at Shi Lang and said in a deep voice: "General Shi will say a few words."
"Ahem. Since the Governor said that, I will say a few words."
Shi Lang cleared his throat and said, "Although Zheng Thief is arrogant, it is not without weaknesses. Zheng Thief's biggest weakness is being too confident or conceited."
Shi Lang paused for a moment, glanced at everyone and said, "The easiest way to make Zheng Zhe make a mistake is to give him some sweetness and make him underestimate the enemy and advance rashly."
"General Shi means to send a group of partial troops to lure the enemy into the depths?"
Guan Xiaozhong narrowed his eyes into a slit and said slowly.
"That's right!"
Shi Lang said proudly: "Now Zheng Chenggong is eager to take revenge. When he encounters a piece of fat, he will definitely bite it. Give him some sweetness first, and then cut off a piece of meat from him."
Shi Lang knew very well that even if Zheng Chenggong underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, he would not be able to really wipe out the Ming army.
It is excellent to take the opportunity to wipe out some of Zheng Chenggong's strength.
"But who should take on this bait?"
As soon as Guan Xiaozhong finished speaking, Shi Lang continued: "In my opinion, Admiral Guan is the best choice."
This was beyond Guan Yizhong's expectations. He wanted to cooperate with Shi Lang to provoke this conversation, but who would have thought that Shi Lang would get around it?
"this..."
"What do you think of the Governor?"
Shi Lang asked Langze before Guan Yixing.
He knew that Langzenzo and Guan Qizhong were iron partners, but in this matter, Guan Qizhong was the most suitable bait.
Because Guan Xizhen's position and weight are there, Zheng Chenggong will definitely be moved by his flaws.
Zheng Chenggong is not a saint, and it is impossible for him to be completely free from temptation and influence.
He is afraid that he has hated Guan Feizhen to the core and wishes he could eat meat and drink blood?
"According to my supervisor, this is a good method. Even if it is not effective, we will not lose anything. We just have to worry about the supervisor's trip."
Langzenzo said this and asked Guan Yixian how to accept it?
He prepared a call and kept it back.
"I thank the Governor, and I will definitely not disappoint you."
As for the specific details, I will definitely not discuss them here. Guan Xiaozhong will still have to negotiate with Shi Lang again.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Shi Lang, Guan Qizhong still had to cooperate with Shi Lang.
Shi Lang is now a celebrity in front of the Governor, so he must not have conflicts and disputes with him.
"The top and bottom work together, and the sharpness of the gold will be cut off."
Langze nodded with satisfaction.
It’s really safe to have Shi Lang around.
When he was in Nanjing, he was in panic all day long, but now he feels very stable.
"It will not be difficult as long as you work together to eliminate the Zheng thief. At that time, this governor will personally ask the emperor for his merits!"
