Over the years, the Spring Festival has been the most important festival in China. Even if every household is poor, they still need to clean up and prepare some food to celebrate.

However, for the Ming army soldiers, the New Year of 1649 may not be easy.

Not only did the soldiers fight outside, the situation was not optimistic.

It was already late December. With Zheng Zhilong surrendering, Duoduo's Qing army had reached 130,000.

More than 53,000 Ming troops could only continue to station troops in Ningde and dared not continue to move forward. Uneasy spread among the Ming troops.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and not allow the soldiers to have extra thoughts and thoughts, Zhao Ming ordered the soldiers to practice continuously, while he gathered with everyone in the commander's tent to discuss the current situation.

In the central army's tent, there was a sand table in the middle, with Zhu Yihai, Zhao Ming and others surrounding the sand table.

"The current situation is that you cannot advance, and you cannot retreat, so what can you do if you do?" Zhu Yihai let out a heavy sigh.

Zhao Ming also said calmly: "The Qing army occupied Fujing, with more than 100,000 troops of Duoduo, and stationed troops on the front line of Fuzhou. We were 50,000 troops, and it was difficult to defeat the Qing army. This was called unable to advance. If we retreated, the Qing army had a firm foothold in Fujian and Zhejiang would be surrounded by the Qing army on three sides. We would definitely not be able to defend western Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang. And if our army retreated, more than 100,000 troops of Duoduo would be able to withdraw our hands. It is the first to take the opportunity to pursue the retreating army, take the opportunity to enter southern Zhejiang, and wipe out our anti-Qing brigade, or send troops to obtain the two Guangdongs with empty forces, or to encircle southern Jiangxi. This is all chosen by the Qing army. This is called unable to retreat!"

At present, the Ming army was in a dilemma because Zheng Zhilong joined the Qing Dynasty. If it could not break the deadlock, it would probably have a great collapse like in history. It was not until Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo joined the camp that he could barely stabilize the situation.

Everyone looked at the sand table and looked frowning. Wu Zhaosheng said: "Duoduo's army is more than 100,000, and is gathered in Fuzhou. Since we cannot win, we should be ready to retreat and deal with the three-sided encirclement of the Qing army. Now that the army is stationed here, it is not a long-term solution. I suggest withdrawing back to Wenzhou."

This stalemate is indeed not a solution. When Duoduo integrates the Fujian surrendered army, the situation of the Zhejiang army will only become more and more dangerous.

After hearing Wu Zhaosheng's words, Xia Wanchun went out and bowed: "Wu Duzhen's words are not unacceptable to the humble position. At present, a step back will never be restored, and there will be a glimmer of hope for further development."

Wu Zhaosheng looked unhappy, "How to advance by Xia Jianjun, can he defeat 130,000 Qing troops with 50,000 Zhejiang troops?"

Xia Wanchun was about to speak when Ding Weiyue picked up the tent and walked to Zhao Ming's ear and whispered. Zhao Ming's expression immediately changed.

When everyone saw this, Zhu Yihai said in a deep voice: "Boan, isn't the Qing army coming?"

Zhao Ming shook his head and reported to him: "Your Highness, He Wencheng is back!"

Before the Zhejiang Army entered Fujian, Zhu Yihai sent He Wencheng to Fujian in order to contact Longwu.

Since then, everyone has lost news about He Wencheng, and they don’t know whether Emperor Longwu’s situation has fled to Ganzhou and turned to Huguang.

Zhao Ming and others stationed their troops in Ningde and refused to retreat. One of the important reasons is that they did not know about Longwu.

If Longwu and others arrived in Ganzhou, moved to Huguang, and integrated the southwest anti-Qing armed forces, the Ming army might have a chance to stabilize their position.

"Where is Chang Geng back?" Zhu Yihai was a little surprised and hurriedly said, "Let him in."

Soon, Ding Weiyue brought in someone, wearing a long gown and a hat, and was busy entering the tent.

The man took off his hat, wrapped a headscarf on his head, and his face was covered with frost. When he saw Zhu Yihai and others, he saluted: "Your Highness, Brother Bo'an, Zhang Du Town, Wu Du Town."

When Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming looked at his appearance, they knew that it was quite difficult for him to pass through the Qing army's occupied area.

"Your dear, thank you all the way!" Zhu Yihai patted his shoulder and sighed.

Zhu Yihai's care made He Wencheng feel sad. In order to come to Ningde, he not only took off his clothes and changed into a long gown, but even shaved his hair.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is trapped in Ruijin. The situation is critical. Please help me!" He Wencheng said anxiously without forgetting his mission.

Everyone in the tent felt a stern and they all became silent. There was still a trace of fantasy in their hearts. Longwu had already fled Fujian and entered southern Jiangxi, but he was still caught up by the Qing army.

"Zheng Zhilong deserves to die!" Li Yuanyin gritted his teeth.

After seeing the expressions of everyone, Wu Zhaosheng said, "Your Majesty is trapped in Ruijin, hundreds of miles away from us. How can we defeat more than 100,000 Qing troops and save Your Majesty? This is simply impossible?"

Zhu Yihai and others were also silent for a while, and even Xia Wanchun didn't say anything. Ruijin was already in Jiangxi. It was too difficult for the Ming army to break through the obstacles of more than 100,000 Qing troops to rescue Ruijin.

"Your Majesty, if Ruijin City is broken and Your Majesty is in trouble, our Ming Dynasty will inevitably be greatly motivated. After the Qing army captured Ruijin, it will definitely take advantage of the situation to take Ganzhou west and invade Huguang. Such a great Ming Dynasty is in danger!" He Wencheng immediately said anxiously when he saw everyone's reaction.

Zhu Yihai had a gloomy face, but Zhao Ming suddenly waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, we are not completely without a chance!"

Zhao Mingjin won battles over the years, which can be said to be a stranger in the Ming army and the ever-winning general of the Ming Dynasty, dazzling and dazzling.

When Zhu Yihai and others heard the words, they immediately raised their eyebrows, "What's the solution for Bo'an?"

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Duoduo recruited Fujian, and the Zheng family was not firm in his morale to join the army. Although the Qing army had more than 100,000, the main force was only 60,000 elite Qing army, and the gap with our troops was not big. In addition, Fujian has many mountains and few fields, and the food cannot be sufficient. If the Qing army poured into Fujian, there must be not much food and grass."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ming walked to the sand table and suddenly pointed at Xianxia Pass and said, "Sometimes ago, Li Du Town defeated Zhang Cunren in Yanzhou, and the Qing army in Hangzhou retreated to Tonglu, in order to continue invading western Zhejiang. If Li Du Town ordered Li Du Town to send troops to attack Xianxia Ridge and cut off the Qing army, Duoduo's food and grass would inevitably be in a hurry!"

Zhu Yihai frowned and said, "Fujian's eight mountains, one water and one branch of land. It is indeed short of food. However, Zheng Zhilong is rich enough to rival the country. I believe the Zheng family has already stored a large amount of military rations and supplies. Now Zheng Zhilong is in Qing Dynasty. If Duoduo lacks military rations, will he not ask the Zheng family for it?"

Zhao Ming sneered: "With the character of the Zheng family, we will definitely not take the initiative to make an offer. If Duoduo takes it, the Zheng army will inevitably be shaken, and our opportunity will come!"

Zhu Yihai and others pondered for a while and understood what Zhao Ming meant that if the food and materials outside were not transported to Fujian, the Qing army would have to obtain money and grain on the spot if they wanted to fight in Fujian.

In Fujian, the Zheng family is the richest, so Duoduo naturally wants to find the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family hold heavy troops. They surrender to the Qing Dynasty not to contribute to the Qing Dynasty, but to hope to protect their family business and expand, and to gain some benefits from the Qing Dynasty.

The Zheng family is a businessman. When doing things, merchants pay attention to making money. Zheng Zhilong put the Qing army in because the Qing army allowed him to continue to guard Fujian and Guangdong. However, there are no kings of the three provinces. Duoduo also entrusted the Zheng family with wealth, and most of the Zheng family would not do it.

In this way, Duoduo will have conflicts with the Zheng family, and Zhao Ming has an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhu Yihai nodded, "It created a conflict between Duoduo and the surrendered army, but how can we defeat Duoduo?"

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Tele the enemy head-on and encircle the sea!"
