Chapter 2: The bold ones (1)

After listening to Song Xiance's plan to deal with Zheng Zhilong, Hong Chengchou almost jumped up in horror. He was already brave enough. He didn't expect that there were people in this world who were more courageous than him. However, although Song Xiance's plan sounded full of loopholes, if it was really realized, Fujian would be the treasure of the court in an instant, so tempting that he did not immediately reject Song Xiance's plan.

Calm down, not only Hong Chengchou needs to be calm, but even Song Xiance, the decision-maker who made this plan, needs to be calm. Success is of course a great contribution. If it fails, it is not just a head loss thing, it will have an immeasurable impact on Nanzheng. It may be that Nanzheng will die at this point, or Jiangnan will fall into a full-scale war, which is completely contrary to the original intention of the court. Thinking of this, Song Xiance couldn't help but look up slightly at Hong Chengchou, who was in charge of the throne, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.

"Military advisor, this plan is extraordinary. Have you ever thought about it? What will happen if Zheng Zhilong finds out? "Hong Chengchou's solemn voice sounded. If it weren't for the battles side by side and winning several battles, he almost doubted whether Song Xiance was a spy sent by Zheng Zhilong to the emperor. However, this was obviously impossible. It would be impossible to use eighty warships and the lives of his brothers to cover a spy. A person like Zheng Zhilong could not do it.

Song Xiance was silent. The comparison of the forces between the two sides was 2 to 1, Zheng Zhilong was 2, and his side was one. If he insisted, his side had a greater chance of winning and could even destroy a small number of enemies. His plan was very risky. Once implemented, there were only two results, either a complete victory or annihilation of the entire army. If Hong Chengchou was a conservative and cautious commander, he would never tell him this plan. However, Hong Chengchou seemed to be the same type of people, and both liked to use strategies and had a full spirit of adventure. Of course, he was different from Hong Chengchou. He was just a military advisor, providing intelligent staff to the commander. The real decision was still in the hands of Hong Chengchou. Therefore, his psychological pressure was much smaller than that of Hong Chengchou. It can be said that he had handed over his plan and most of the pressure was transferred to the shoulders of commander Hong Chengchou. He was the commander who decided the life and death of these 35,000 troops.

"Master, this plan cannot be delayed. If Zheng Zhilong fully understands the truth, it will be useless." Song Xiance said.

"Can the military advisor guarantee that Zheng Zhilong doesn't know that Zheng Zhihu's fleet is wiped out?" Hong Chengchou asked in a deep voice.

"It is not guaranteed to offer suggestions, but even if Zheng Zhilong heard something, there is nothing. After all, he could not believe it all. The key is that he has leaked Qin Ruhai and his son. This is the most important part of this plan." Since Song Xiance said this plan, he naturally had a comprehensive plan, otherwise he would not say nonsense easily.

"Master, we can do this..." Song Xiance whispered a few words in front of Hong Chengchou.

Upon hearing Song Xiance's thoughts, a strange light flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes. Such a sophisticated plan could be imagined. Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel angry and respectful to Song Xiance, a military teacher who was not good-looking.

"Master General, if this plan fails, we can still stick to it. As long as we can stick to it for twenty days to one month, the court will have its own army to support us. It will not be difficult to wipe out Zheng Zhilong at that time." Song Xiance said.

"Well, I received the military report that General Yuan Chonghuan had already divided his troops and ordered Duke Chang to come south with a 50,000 army." Hong Chengchou nodded and said.

"It's so good that our army has a better chance of winning." Song Xiance said happily.

"But..." Hong Chengchou hesitated a little. He was not a hesitant commander, but it was extremely risky to implement this plan with his current strength. If he had half of the extra troops, he would have been decisively ordered.

Song Xiance also understood what Hong Chengchou was worried about. The most risky thing about this plan was to divide the troops. There was no force at all, and the combat effectiveness could not be guaranteed. If the troops were divided, if the plan failed, it would be easy for Zheng Zhilong to defeat them one by one. Perhaps before Chang Yanlin's reinforcements arrived, they would be wiped out. The life and death of tens of thousands of troops was not a joke. As the commander, not only did he have to lead his subordinates to achieve one victory after another, but more importantly, his subordinates died valuable. He should not take the risk of making unnecessary sacrifices because of a person's greed for merit.

"Should you be brave and starved to death, do the timids!" Hong Chengchou said with a final say. He had learned to swear in the army for a long time. The so-called gentle and elegant temperament of scholars is mixed with the rough and heroic military style. Hong Chengchou has transformed. The combination of two different personalities has made him more temperament. With his handsome appearance and vicissitudes of madness, he is simply a killer of a teacher.

Everything was expected by Song Xiance. Even Zheng Zhilong's march was exactly the same as Song Xiance's inference. Hesitation was under the guise of serving the king, and the army of serving the king who pretended to be Zheng Zhilong successfully captured Lin'an, Yuhang and other counties. He used Zheng Zhihu's banner. He was originally going to be replaced, but because of his plan, it has been replaced now. For a considerable period of time, the imperial army had to pretend to be Zheng Zhihu's people. Then, Song Xiance used Zheng Zhihu's name to start recruiting ships from all cities along the coast from Fuyang to the east of Haining. In fact, in order to meet Zheng Zhilong's army of serving the king, he actually did not give it to him.

Zheng Zhilong blocked the news and sent an envoy to Hangzhou City to meet the pseudo-Zhejiang Governor Li Shi, and ordered him to prepare to pick up the food and supplies from the army of the king to the north. Li Shi believed it, and not only agreed, but also ordered people to send gold, silver and wealth to Hong Chengchou. Fortunately, after occupying Qiantang, he did not make a decision to attack Hangzhou City. Otherwise, this huge plan would be a bit regrettable if Li Shi cooperated. Hong Chengchou naturally accepted the gold, silver and wealth, but he did not dare to embezzle it and ordered people to seal it. After the war, he reported it to the court for disposal. He did not want to lose a great future for the sake of gold and silver.

"Emperor, Lord Hong Chengchou asked Weichen to write a letter to Zheng Zhilong for him imitating Zheng Zhihu's handwriting. Weichen felt that this matter was of great importance and was undecided, so he came to ask the emperor for instructions." Zhou Wenyun asked to see Zhu Yinglong, who was playing "Gozi Chess" with Magu.

Zhu Yinglong was stunned and missed the wrong piece. Magu was so happy that he giggled happily. He finally won a game, which made Magu, who had almost lost confidence, very happy. When he was about to look up and talk to him, he found that her husband looked solemn, and there was a letter paper on his hand, and he didn't know what was written on it.

After a long time, Zhu Yinglong's mouth only had a word "correct" popped up, and then handed the letter in his hand back to Zhou Wenyuan's hand.

At this point, Zhu Yinglong no longer had the interest in playing chess with Magu. His mind was full of Nanzheng's affairs. The current situation seemed to be out of his control, and it seemed to be under his control. Although Hong Chengchou liked adventure and liked to go against the odds, he was still a cautious commander. Such an adventurous plan was definitely not from his arm, nor was it Zheng Nansheng. This man was a little wise, but his mind was not so meticulous, nor was it Wu Sangui. Although he was also a rare handsome talent, he could not design this detailed and detailed plan. Even if he could only see a few spots from Hong Chengchou's letter, the only one left was Song Xiance. If it was him, then this man was really a genius. No, he should be a genius.

He not only counted Zheng Zhilong, but also included him as the emperor. Zhou Wenyuan is a master of forging mills, with no other skills. He can be regarded as the best candidate for imitating letters by fakes and real people. The reason why Hong Chengchou asked Zhou Wenyun to forge Zheng Zhihu's letter was to turn around and ask his own opinions. Whether it was to try the wisdom of his emperor or add a little bargaining chip for himself, because if he nodded and asked Zhou Wenyuan to forge this letter according to his wishes, it would be equivalent to agreeing to their plan in disguise. If he couldn't see this thought, he should not be the emperor. If the ministers figured out the holy intentions, wasn't the emperor constantly understanding the thoughts of these ministers under his command?
