Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Fuzhou.

Since Zheng Sen refused to negotiate peace and attacked from Jinsha, Dasu has been holding on for three months, and Zheng Jun outside the city has also been besieging for three months.

Zheng Sen learned the lesson of Nanjing's defeat and did not give Dasu any chance to delay his troops. On average, every five days, Zheng Sen would organize a fierce attack on Fuzhou City. In this way, the Qing army in the city suffered a lot of casualties. If Dasu had not firmly controlled all the Qing troops in the city of Fuzhou, and opened up the vassal to reward the army, there were even more Manchu troops. .

Zheng Jun was stronger than the Navy division, but shorter than the Lu division. The tens of thousands of Lu divisions who had been meticulously prepared and trained for the Northern Expedition and entered the river were all buried under the city of Nanjing. The generals Gan Hui and Yu Xin were both captured by the Qing army. He was rescued by the army, but he was kept under Zhou Shixiang's command along with the rescued tens of thousands of Zheng Jun soldiers. Zheng Sen sent letters several times to request the return of these soldiers, but Zhou Shixiang delayed them for various reasons. This move made the huge Zheng Jun lack the strength to attack the fortified land battle. During the three months of the siege of Fuzhou City, Zheng Jun could not break the city every time he attacked the city, but it was because the Lu division was not strong. The soldiers also stepped into the city of Fuzhou, but they were repelled by the Qing army armored soldiers in the city, resulting in a failure.

Zheng Sen regretted this very much, and often said to the left and right that if Gan Hui and Yu Xin were here, Fuzhou City would have been captured long ago, and Da Su would have been captured early. Unfortunately, the truth is not as good as Zheng Senyi, and he is helpless. Fortunately, Fuzhou is an isolated city, and Dasu is a bird trapped in a cage. Sooner or later, he will be trapped to death. Zheng Sen saw the current situation very well. He knew that Dasu could not have reinforcements at all. Guangdong and Jiangxi were all under the control of the Taiping Army, and the only support he could get was in the direction of Zhejiang. The strength of the Qing army in Zhejiang was not strong. I heard that Ma Jinbao had all hit the city of Hangzhou. It can be imagined that Zhao Guozuo, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tong Guoqi, governor of Zhejiang, are now too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to have troops to support Dasu. In other words, even if Zheng Sen could not capture Fuzhou City, as long as he was trapped for a few months, Fuzhou would be self-defeating. After all, the food in the city was very limited. No matter how well Dasu can defend, he can't solve the belly problem.

A few days ago, news came from Nandu that Yu Xin died in battle in Jiangbei Guazhou, which made Zheng Sen feel quite uncomfortable. He was annoyed at Yu Xin. If it weren't for Yu Xin, he would not have lost so badly in Nanjing, but he was also very sad when he really knew about Yu Xin's death. On that day, he stayed in the tent alone for a long time, and his mind was full of the past when Yu Xin came to join the army. In the end, Prince Min could only sigh.

Zhu Yue, the king of Tang Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in the southern capital. Nandu specially sent a servant to Xiamen to announce the decree and gave the King of Fujian the golden seal. At the time when Zheng Sen was leading the army to attack Fuzhou, the prince Zheng Jing came forward to receive the envoy from Nandu. However, Zheng Jing could not decide this matter, so he quickly spread the word to Fuzhou University. camp.

After learning about this, Zheng Sen discussed it with Chen Yonghua and others who joined the army, and decided to accept the title of the Prince of Fujian from the Dingwu court. Later, Zheng Sen ordered the official of the household, Zheng Tai, to return to Xiamen on his behalf to accept the title of Prince of Fujian from the Dingwu court. It made Jin Xia think that the feudal lord recognized the Dingwu court. But the people around Zheng Sen knew that the feudal lord did not agree with the Dingwu Emperor in the southern capital, but now that Zhu Yue has actually controlled the southern capital with the support of Zhou Shixiang, and worshipped Xiaoling, the feudal lord could no longer establish a new monarch. Therefore, we have to admit the Dingwu court. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the lord to explain it to his generals, the Jinsha clan and courtiers.

After accepting the title of the Prince of Fujian in the Dingwu court, Zheng Sen did not relax his onslaught on Fuzhou. In his opinion, Fuzhou is already in his pocket, and Fujian is his own territory. If he doesn't go to Fuzhou for a day, if he doesn't solve Dasu, he, the Prince of Fujian, will not live up to his name.

After preparing for a few more days, Zheng Sen's general Zhongyong Hou Chen Ba personally supervised five thousand soldiers and launched an attack on the Fuzhou city wall. In addition to 500 carrying ladders and 300 pushing shield chariots to attack the fortified camp, there were also more than 3000 archers and gunners. Before the war, Zheng Sen awarded a heavy reward, whoever climbed to the top of Fuzhou city first would get his sword.

The lord's sword is more motivating than any gold and silver jewelry reward. The soldiers want the lord's sword, and the officers want it even more. At the beginning of the attack, the five thousand soldiers showed an astonishing momentum, which made the Qing army in the city tremble.

There are artillery pieces at the head of the city of Fuzhou. After losing the naval battle last year, Dasu gathered artillery pieces from all over Fuzhou. He thought that Zheng Jun might take advantage of the victory to attack Fuzhou, so the more artillery pieces in Fuzhou, the better. As a result, instead of attacking Fuzhou, Zheng Jun went north to attack Nanjing, which made these artillery pieces useless, but now they have come in handy and become a weapon in Da Su's hands.

Chen Ba was not fascinated by the anger. He learned the lessons of the previous siege, and divided the parts to minimize the threat of the artillery on the top of the city to his side.

As the gunfire rumbled, Zheng Jun's soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, and the two sides fought fiercely, screaming in the city and down the city. At noon, because the casualties were too high, Chen Ba had to call Jin to withdraw his troops. After the Zheng army retreated, there were a lot of corpses under the city wall, and the Qing army on the city was also buried in pieces.

"The feudal lord, the general is incompetent, please punish the feudal lord!"

After returning to the camp, Chen Ba knelt in front of Zheng Sen without saying a word, and pleaded guilty for his incompetence.

Zheng Sen didn't blame Chen Ba, but stepped forward to help him up and comfort him. Other generals under the vassal also stepped forward to comfort Chen Ba, saying that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs, and the loyal and brave waiters should not take it to heart. Chen Ba stood there in a sullen voice, looking at the city of Fuzhou with an unwilling face.

"The feudal lord, Da Su is worthy of being a fierce general of the Qing court, and he has rules and regulations in fighting and defending. His subordinates think that it is inappropriate to seek urgent success, but to delay the plan. Use siege instead of war, trap him for a few more months, and see if Da Su has three heads and six arms. "

Chen Yonghua advised Zheng Sen not to rush to break the city, so as to avoid the soldiers under the vassal from being entangled in the city.

Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "This vassal heard that when King Jin attacked Xinhui, the Qing army in the city fed on the people, so King Jin had no choice but to withdraw... This vassal was worried that if the siege continued, the tragedy of Xinhui would repeat itself in Fuzhou City."

When Chen Yonghua heard the words, he remembered that the King Qi of Nanjing was the survivor of the Xinhui tragedy. He heard that his parents, wife and children were killed by the Qing army, so he made a blow, and thus has the situation of restoring the southern capital today. If the Qing army of Xinhui had not killed and eaten the blood relatives of King Qi, perhaps there would not have been a Taiping army, and there would not have been the situation today. This is really good luck.

Chen Yonghua was worried that the feudal lord would be relieved of the siege because he took pity on the people in Fuzhou City, and hurriedly advised: "The soldier is a murderous thing. The feudal lord cannot be a woman. The prestige of the feudal lord."

"All these vassals know that they are just a little bit unbearable..." Zheng Sen hesitated, "Or does this vassal agree to what Dasu asked?"

Dasu sent Fujian Zuobuzheng Zhang Jing to Xiamen to negotiate on the same day. If Zheng Sen returned the officers and soldiers and their families from the Eight Banners of Fujian by sea, Dasu would hand over the whole province of Fujian. This condition was rejected by Zheng Sen on the spot, because in his opinion, the Qing army in Fujian was not a strong enemy at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He took Fuzhou as if he were searching for something. But now, he can't help but think about this matter, because the Qing army in the city suffered heavy casualties for three months, but he also lost tens of thousands of soldiers. I am afraid that the loss under the vassal will be even greater, even if he can obtain the whole Fujian, it will be more than the gain.

Chen Yonghua is also a little hesitant. If he agrees to Dasu's request, then there will be no more casualties under the vassal. However, once the news of the lord sending the Fujian Qing army back north by sea, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the lord. This matter has advantages and disadvantages. . When he was in a dilemma, Liu Guoxuan rushed to report that it was Huang Zhao who asked to see the feudal lord.

"Huang Zhao is not assisting the prince in Siming, what are you doing here in this domain?"

Zheng Sen was a little surprised. Before his personal expedition, in addition to ordering his eldest son Zheng Jing to stay in Xiamen, he also ordered his clan brothers Zheng Tai and Huang Zhao to assist his eldest son in handling the political affairs of Jinxia. The eldest son is still young and inexperienced, so Zheng Sen, the big and small government affairs of Jinxia, ​​was actually handed over to Zheng Tai and Huang Zhao. Now Huang Zhao suddenly came from Jinsha. Could it be that there is something urgent that cannot be done?

Confused, Zheng Sen asked Liu Guoxuan to bring Huang Zhao. When he saw Huang Zhao, Zheng Sen was surprised, because Huang Zhao in front of him still looked like a minister with Xuanyu's arrogance. He was extremely embarrassed and covered with dust. , his eyes were full of bloodshots, and at first glance, he looked like he hadn't slept for many days.

"The feudal lord, my servant finally sees you alive!"

The moment Huang Zhao saw the feudal lord, he also burst into tears. While crying, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Sen.

"How did this happen, why are you crying?"

Zheng Sen was very stunned, and subconsciously took the letter from Huang Zhao, but it was in the handwriting of his in-law Tang Xianyue, and the letter only had eight words - "If you don't govern your family strictly, how can you govern the country?"
