It was the first time for Xiong Zijian to command the battle alone. Fortunately, his deputy He Renlong was through many battles. The discussions between the two during the march made Xiong Zijian more confident. The large group of people slept in the open, rested during the day, and marched after dark. The suffering here was not worthy of being told by outsiders. Ten thousand Jiangning camp cavalry were all elite soldiers. The orders were never vague, and the orders were enforced, and the military orders were like mountains of collapse. This also ensured the speed of the march and made the matters confidential to the greatest extent.

Starting from Dengzhou, you have to pass through Nanzhili and Zhejiang. The journey is long. What's more important is that this is the south, with many people and much lively than the north. Although Jiangning Camp started in Jiangning County, Nanzhili, its real development is still in the north, and most of the soldiers are northerners. Therefore, there are still many difficulties that need to be overcome on the road. Fortunately, in this era, information was very congested, and there were not many contacts between the government and the people. People from different regions almost did not interact with each other and were unfamiliar. This also created conditions for Jiangning Camp's confidentiality work.

Xiong Zijian and He Renlong were most worried about confidentiality. Although Su Tiancheng once analyzed in detail that it was impossible to ensure absolute confidentiality, it was still not a big problem for relative confidentiality. The Spring Festival is coming soon. Governments in various places are basically resting, and the people are also busy preparing for the Spring Festival. Many people will not notice the Jiangning Camp. In addition, the Jiangning Camp marched at night. The people have a natural fear of the army and will never inquire about good things. As long as the Jiangning Camp ensures the speed of the march, the secret will not be leaked.

It took several days to set off, and it was not until after entering Zhejiang that Xiong Zijian and He Renlong felt that what Su Tiancheng said really made sense. They could not have expected that Su Tiancheng had made an accurate prediction before the team set off. It was too difficult.

Because there is no need to rush to attack the city and the village. This time, the large group of people did not carry artillery, even the tiger squat cannons and Fran machine cannons, but they only carried flintlock guns. This was also Su Tiancheng's request. Jiangning Camp attacked Zheng Zhilong's mansion. It was against Zheng Zhilong's family and personal soldiers, and there was a certain degree of fighting, but this was not a life-and-death battle after all. Don't make a big move, it would be easy to explain at that time.

When the team entered Fujian Province, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong were extremely careful.

Quanzhou Prefecture is located in the south. It is close to the sea. The large group of people must pass through Jianning Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture, and enter Quanzhou. During this process, some news will inevitably be leaked. Zheng Zhilong has a very great influence in Quanzhou. Even in Fujian, he has a certain reputation and is clearly reflected in the information.

Since accepting the court's pacification, Zheng Zhilong settled down in Quanzhou Prefecture. The mansion was close to Quanzhou Prefecture, but not in the city. Instead, it is located in Anping, not far from Jinjiang. It is close to the sea. Ships on the sea can go directly to the front of the mansion, Zheng Zhilong's mansion. It is the most luxurious building in the local area, and even the official residence of the governor's yamen cannot be compared with it.

Because of wealth, wealth, and distance from the court. Moreover, because of his special identity, Zheng Zhilong's mansion is very strict with guarding. In the huge mansion, there are places where troops are stationed, and 3,000 personal soldiers are always waiting here to ensure the safety of the mansion. In addition, more than ten miles away from Anping Mansion, there are 100,000 soldiers directly under Zheng Zhilong's command. These soldiers are mainly infantrymen. Although they cannot compare with the navy, they are also extremely powerful. As for the prefect of Quanzhou and the governor of Fujian, although they know these things, they do not have much choice. Zheng Zhilong's experience is as rich as that of the court. When he surrendered to the court, his strength was extraordinary. Now, as the governor and magistrate, he is even more fearless. Besides, if they pay to support the army, they will also send troops to fight. What else can you say?

Xiong Zijian and He Renlong have studied these information many times along the way. No matter how detailed the combat deployment is, it must be combined with the actual situation. It is definitely not possible to copy it hard.

On December 28, a large group of people entered the area under Yanping Prefecture.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep confidential. Faced with the actual situation, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong must make a decision.

"Mr. He is going to enter Quanzhou tomorrow. It may be difficult to keep it confidential."

"Sir, the officials also think so. I don't know what the great master has to deal with it, so I just do it."

He Renlong didn't read much, and he was always very modest in front of Xiong Zijian. After all, Xiong Zijian reads poetry and comes from a famous family, and has a very mature thinking.

"I have an idea. Instead of keeping it secret, it is better to march openly. If the local government asks about it, it will be said that the imperial court sent an inspection. Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the officials of the local government have already rested. In addition, you and I have brought tokens and showed the token, so no one dares to ask."

He Renlong thought for a moment.

"Sir, this method is good. But if we make an excuse to be the army sent by the court to inspect, it may be a bit inappropriate. It would be better to say that they are officers and soldiers of the Fujian Xingdu Department. During the Spring Festival, they were appointed by the adults to inspect various places, clear out bandits, and maintain local peace. This statement is more appropriate."

Xiong Zijian nodded with a smile.

"Mr. He's suggestion is very good. Once the attack is launched, everything will be revealed to the world, and there will be nothing worth keeping confidential."

"Sir, we have also discussed along the way. This attack may cause many shocks. Perhaps the court will punish it. The officials think that we should bear this responsibility. If the court must punish it, it will not involve the head of the governor. We insist that the attack was launched without authorization, and the court could not blame it."

"We have discussed this matter. I am the head coach and should take responsibility. You are also obeying my arrangements and launching an attack. If the court blames me, I will bear the blame alone, so there is no need to say more."

He Renlong is nicknamed He Madman. He is not only brave in fighting, but also has a straightforward and stubborn side.

"The senior official never agrees with the statement of the adult. It is unreasonable to assume responsibility by himself. Although the senior official assists the adult, he is also the deputy general. No matter how the head coach takes responsibility, the deputy general official has no responsibility. The senior official thinks that the senior official must make it clear and will start the attack soon. On the issue of responsibility, the senior official does not want to continue arguing with the senior official."

Xiong Zijian nodded helplessly.

"Okay, no argument."

After the two discussed, Xiong Zijian mentioned the navy's battle.

"I don't know how the battle situation of the navy led by Lord Su is."

"Sir, I think there is no problem. Zheng Zhilong's warships dominate the sea for so many years. This time, he attacked Weihai Guard, and he was arrogant and must have been completely wiped out. Xiaguan has been following the Chief Supervisor for so many years. Every Chief Supervisor has carefully planned it. The Jiangning Camp has never suffered any defeat."

Speaking of combat, Xiong Zijian is the most familiar with it. He followed the battle since the establishment of Jiangning Camp. Although he was in the capital for a while, he soon returned to Jiangning Camp.

"If you want to talk about the wisdom and vision of the Supervisor, you and I can only admire it. I remember that the Adult once asked us to learn to analyze. The battle situation changed rapidly. The commander must have a calm mind and not be able to follow the rules. In the face of every attack, we must make accurate judgments to avoid casualties to the greatest extent."

"The lower official understands that the governor has not known how many times he has scolded the lower official. Every time he fights with the adults, the lower official is very careful. Sometimes, he wants to rush to the front, but when he thinks about the adults being in command, he dare not do this."

Both of them laughed and were about to enter Quanzhou. The two of them felt no pressure on the upcoming battle, which was also a high degree of confidence.

"By the way, Lord He, Zheng Zhilong has two famous sayings, one is that there is no gentleman in the world, and everyone in the world can pick up goods, and the other is that the gold battle is victorious. Lord Supervisor once commented on two sentences, thinking that there is some truth in this, but I can tell that, on the whole, I still don't agree with Zheng Zhilong's understanding."

He Renlong pouted.

"The Lord Supervisor does not agree with these two sentences at all. The Lord Supervisor remembers that what Zheng Zhilong considered was the interests of the Zheng family. From Japan to Taiwan, and then to Quanzhou, all Zheng Zhilong's affairs were for his own interests, and he had been pirates, merchants, and even confronted the court. He once occupied Taiwan and Ryukyu. Look at Lord Supervisor, everything was for the Ming Dynasty, and he never thought about himself. Compared with the two, what is Zheng Zhilong?"

"Mr. He, we can have such an understanding, but don't underestimate the enemy. We will enter Quanzhou immediately. The army controlled by Zheng Zhilong has reached 100,000 people. We still need to be careful."

"The officials understand that our Jiangning camp has wiped out hundreds of thousands of bandits, which makes the Later Jin Tartars dare not be arrogant. Although Zheng Zhilong has 100,000 soldiers, these soldiers have been in the south for a long time and have never been in contact with any battles. When they meet the soldiers of our Jiangning camp, they can only surrender obediently. If it weren't for the request of the Supervisor, the Supervisor would definitely start a massacre. What's Zheng Zhilong? The Supervisor has built the Weihaiwei Wharf and has the imperial edict from the court. He dared to resist the order and sent warships to attack the Weihaiwei Wharf. Isn't this seeking death?"
