ps: Thanks to the book friend "Youshui Yichuan" for his reward and added this chapter to him.

"Do you remember his name? In Changlin Wei's list, you will have a thought..." Song An said.

Wu Zheng shook his head, "No need... After death, I am a lofty family just to give full play to his family, but he has no family... Who will remember his name and achievements... Forget it, for him, if he dies in his hometown, where can he rest in peace? I think if he has a spirit in heaven, what he hopes most is our army to win!"

Song An nodded and said, "Young Master is right... By the way, Changlin Wei sent a message from Fujian..."

Wu Zheng interrupted impatiently: "Good news or bad news? If it is bad news... then slowly, let me be quiet first."

Song An stepped back silently. He understood that Wu Zheng was talking coldly, but his heart was constantly stirred by the changes in Hengyang.

When Song An slowly retreated to the door, Wu Zheng suddenly said, "It seems that it is bad news...forget it, let's talk about it."

Song An came back and said softly: "Zheng Sen, the Prince of Yanping of Yongli, massacred thousands of indigenous people from the Dabi Kingdom west of the East Fan Island. The Dabi Kingdom intends to take revenge, so he secretly colluded with the Dutch Red Hair, hoping to use the power of foreigners to attack Yanping."

The Big Belly Kingdom is actually not a kingdom. It is just a primitive community of local natives, including as many as a dozen tribes, with a roughly 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Why is it said that it is not a real kingdom? Because it does not have a country name, the "Big Belly Kingdom" was actually given to it by the Dutch red hair.

Ten years ago, the Dutch occupied the north side of Dongfan Island, which is where Zheng Sen is currently located.

After the occupation, in order to connect with the south, the Dutch planned to build roads. In this way, they naturally had to conflict with the local indigenous people. After several battles, the indigenous people who used primitive weapons naturally could not defeat the Dutch equipped with firearms. Later, the indigenous people were defeated and reached an agreement with the Dutch to obey the Dutch's dominance.

But the compromised indigenous people could not represent all tribes, and there were still several tribes who did not recognize this agreement. Two years later, war broke out again on both sides. The Dutch sent troops to destroy more than a dozen villages and killed thousands of people, and a priest reached an agreement with several tribes that were fighting. Since then, the Big Belly Kingdom almost obeyed the Dutch rule.

But the indigenous people have their own beliefs and they do not accept Christianity. Such conflicts broke out again three years later, but there was no suspense in the end. The Dutch suppressed them with force.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the two sides have fought and fought, but one thing is certain, compared to Zheng Sen, a "outsider", the natives are more willing to accept the red hair.

Because Zheng Sen urgently needed to expand his territory and rule, he had to expand southward. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford the thousands of people brought from Fujian and Guangdong. Therefore, Wu Zheng was not very surprised after hearing this, and it could even be said that he understood! But this method was too domineering.

In Wu Zheng's impression, although Zheng Sen was not broad-minded and was not bad, he would not have done such a bloody thing.

Even if you want to occupy the land of the indigenous people, live with or expel them, you can still get cheap labor. Why do you need to kill?

“Have you verified it?”

Song An nodded and said, "It was the news from Changlin Wei who followed the young master to Dongfan Island before. The matter should be true... But how many people were killed cannot be verified for the time being."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "The number of people killed is no longer important... Don't Zheng Sen know the current situation? He has thousands of troops. If the Dutch Red Hair joins forces with the local natives... This matter cannot be underestimated. Send someone to send a letter to the King of Jin and ask him to prepare a partial division. If there is any change on the island, it is better to go to sea to reinforce Zheng Sen in time."

"yes."

Wu Zheng slowly stood up, paced back and forth twice, and looked up and said, "Let Yangzhou Prefecture allocate silver, build a seven-foot memorial monument at the original site of Hengyang Town, and engrave the names of the dead townsmen... to inspire the people of the surrounding governments to resist the morale of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes." Song An Ying said, and he sighed in his heart. Sure enough, the young master was still worried about the changes in Hengyang.

"Since Erhan has promised to go out, then... under the government office, we will add a garrison position and ask Yangzhou Prefecture to make up Liu Fang's appointment, which is legitimate."

"yes."

Wu Zheng actually thought about it, not much like Chi Erhan, thinking that Liu Fang was just a local rascal who was right. In addition, he was old and it was difficult to correct his already formed ideas and give him a garrison job. He only regarded it as a reward for his achievements in this battle. But in fact, Wu Zheng no longer showed his garrison and left the Northern Expedition Army without showing any signs. In other words, the garrison was just a civilian armed force under the local government office.

But even Wu Zheng and Song An didn't know at this time that the one who died under Liu Fang was a prince and a prince of the Qing court. Even the two famous kings of Li Dingguo were more genuine and more real money and silver.

It was precisely because of this that the Qing court spent thousands of miles to attack Hengyang after that, intending to kill Liu Fang and avenge Doni and Luo Keduo.

But this made Liu Fang a disguised way, making Liu Fang go from a thug to a hero that is highly anticipated overnight.

It's really a hero who doesn't ask where he comes from!

Song An reminded: "Young Master, that Jiang Yuan..."

Wu Zheng grinned, "This guy doesn't look like a good person... but after all, he was an uprising in front of the battlefield. He told Li Guo and Liu Tiren that he would reward him as much as he should. I will not interfere in Guangxinwei's personnel affairs, but people... need to be more careful. Don't change to the Tartars in a few days."

"yes."

....

On this day, a cavalry war broke out outside Haizhou City.

Since the six years since Wu Zheng returned to Shaoxing Prefecture, this is the first time that the enemy- and our cavalry duel of this scale.

Of course, this is also because there are no cavalry in the Northern Expedition Army sequence.

Jixiha and Lan Bai, facing the anger of the flag soldiers in the city, had to compromise and agreed to let the cavalry go out of the city to fight.

The two of them thought about it and were defeated before the battle. They thought that in the event of a defeat in the war, their cavalry could return to the north gate to enter the city as usual. Even if the enemy pursued, they could only follow them. As long as the defense was properly arranged on the city wall and at the speed of their cavalry, they would definitely be able to retreat into the city first.

So in the early morning of the next day, 3,600 cavalrymen from the north gate of Haizhou City came out one after another, and divided into two routes outside the city, from east to west, one by one, one by one, and the other was preparing to fight against the Fenglei Cavalry and drag them down to cover the road ahead of the enemy artillery.

This kind of deployment was originally done by Jixiha and Lan Bai, but in fact it fits the principle of "unexpected" military strategy.

Neither Qian Qiaogong nor Lu's realm had expected that the enemy in the city would take the initiative to attack.

This made the artillery position that should have been lagging behind almost close to the former Fenglei Cavalry and Cavalry.

When the enemy cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the city, the Northern Expedition Army was caught off guard. Of course, this refers to the Wusongwei Artillery Regiment in the Lu Region.
