Zhu Youlang entered Baling City surrounded by a group of civil and military officials.

He was still very satisfied with the performance of the Hu Ben Army.

Compared to the youthfulness of the war in the beginning, the Tiger Army is now able to stand alone.

Although he is not as good as the elite of Li Dingguo's battles, he can already steadily over the Qing army's green camp.

I believe that with the increasing combat experience, the combat power of the Hu Ben Army will become stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, there is another small shareholder who fled to the inner city and resisted stubbornly. I will send someone to annihilate them."

Li Dingguo was very clear about the emperor's attitude towards the Donglu.

Whether it is a real enemy or a traitor in the green camp, no matter what the enemy is fighting stubbornly.

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work in King Jin."

In fact, since Zhu Youlang came to this world, he has never seen the street fighting of this era with his own eyes.

He was somewhat curious about this.

But street fighting is indeed dangerous.

It is said that it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and cannot be prevented. He knew that Li Dingguo would definitely try his best to persuade him to prevent him from being in danger.

Since this is the case, Zhu Youlang stopped trying.

Anyway, taking down Baling City is the most important thing for the Ming army. As long as the city is broken, the Qing soldiers in the city will die, and they will die sooner or later.

Zhu Youlang is more looking forward to the situation on Li Laiheng now, to see if this powerful general can lock the Qing army naval forces and prevent the Qing soldiers from escaping from Dongting Lake.

Nanjing, garrison palace.

Zheng Chenggong's injury has been well recovered for a few days. Although he has not fully recovered, he can get out of bed and walk around.

Of course, this cannot be separated from Zheng Jing's careful service. Zheng Jing comes to change medicine, boil medicine, and feed medicine in person, and does not use it to others.

Zheng Chenggong saw all these things. He was naturally very pleased and proud to have such a filial son.

After careful calculation, Zheng Jing is already eighteen this year. Zheng Chenggong has always treated him as a child, but in fact, Zheng Jing has reached the age to be tempered.

Zheng Chenggong has made up his mind to bring Zheng Jing with him in future battles, and teach him by example and in person.

Compared to the preaching of corrupt scholars, Zheng Chenggong believed in this real way more. He could not hope that his son would re-take his old path. If there was no such great shock in the late Chongzhen period, Zheng Chenggong would probably still be a prison student in the Imperial College in Nanjing. This is not a good thing for a person who is committed to doing great things.

After living a stable life for a long time, the whole person will be exhausted and lose his ambition.

It is still the days of licking blood from the knife to the knife to inspire people's fighting spirit.

"Father, Zhang Benbing said that the encampments in Yangzhou have been frequently mobilized recently, and it seems that they need to make big moves."

Zheng Jing helped Zheng Chenggong walk in the small garden of the garrison palace, and said in a harmonious manner as he walked.

"Yangzhou?"

Zheng Chenggong was somewhat surprised.

Although it is an important town along the canal, its military significance has never been very important. At least compared with a portal like Zhenjiang, its status is much worse.

The reason why he chose to attack Anqing before was because Anqing's Qing soldiers were stronger and he could sleep peacefully only after defeating Anqing.

But now it seems that Yangzhou has indeed neglected it.

"Can Zhang Bing say where did the Donglu transfer troops from?"

"I heard that Huai'an Prefecture and the eastern Zhejiang generation have it."

Zheng Jing thought carefully and said, "The East Zhejiang generation has no need to think about it. It must be Lang Tingzuo, who is in charge of loyalty and the soldiers of Shi Lang and the traitors. As for Huai'an Mansion, the child can't guess it for the time being."

Zheng Chenggong nodded silently.

Not to mention that Zheng Jing couldn't guess, he couldn't guess it for a while.

It is said that the Qing court's troops in Jiangnan were mainly concentrated in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Huai'an and Yangzhou. It seems that he did not understand some details thoroughly enough, and he still needs to strengthen the collection of intelligence in the future.

"Jing'er, if you are asked to lead the troops, do you think it's better to attack Anqing first, or to attack the eastern Zhejiang prefectures first?"

Somehow, Zheng Chenggong just wanted to ask Zheng Jing what he thinks about this matter.

Zheng Jing was shocked when he heard this.

Why did the father suddenly ask him this question?

There is a way that the Son does not speak of the Father’s faults.

Even if he really feels that his father is a little inappropriate in handling this matter, he can't say it out directly, right?

Wouldn't it be unfilial to not save face for your father?

Seeing Zheng Jing's helpless expression, Zheng Chenggong cleared his throat and said, "What? Don't you dare to say it? You little brat, don't have to save face for your father. Just say whatever you should say!"

After some little thoughts were exposed by Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing's face turned red.

"Father, the child dare not."

"What are you afraid of? Father, I forgive you for being innocent."

Zheng Chenggong said this to this point, if Zheng Jing didn't say it, it would be a bit pretentious.

He thought carefully for a moment and said, "Report to my father, if the child leads his troops, he will attack East Zhejiang first."

Zheng Chenggong felt a thud and then asked, "What's the reason?"

Zheng Jing took a deep breath and said, "Zhoushan is certainly one aspect. After all, eastern Zhejiang is too close to Zhoushan. Especially Ningbo Prefecture, crossing the sea across the sea. But more importantly, Hangzhou is another important stronghold for the Donglu in the southeast. Now we have taken Nanjing. If Hangzhou is taken again, Donglu's control over Jiangnan will collapse directly. This is not worthy of taking Anqing Prefecture."

He said so much in one breath, and then carefully observed Zheng Chenggong's expression.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was not angry and embarrassed, Zheng Jing's heart was relieved.

"It seems that there is something to do. It's because the father was negligent."

Lang Tingzuo's position was granted by the Qing court to the Governor of Liangjiang.

This position can be regarded as second only to Hong Chengchou, and he is a true rank of officials.

Lang Tingzuo could mobilize all the troops in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and personnel appointments and removals were just a matter of just one word.

Lang Tingzuo lost Nanjing and could also use Hangzhou as an alternative place to issue orders and dispatch troops there.

This is also the fundamental reason why the frequent actions of various prefectures in Huai'an and Yangzhou have been happening in recent days.

If Zheng Chenggong had chosen to attack eastern Zhejiang at the beginning, the whole situation might have been different.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and what has happened can never be changed.

What Zheng Chenggong can do now is to expand as much as possible while consolidating the territory.

But now the Qing soldiers are already alert, and it is unlikely that they will take Hangzhou quickly and smoothly.

I can only take a steady and steady route and slowly plan.

However, Zheng Chenggong was still very happy to be able to understand this truth.

This also proves that his son Zheng Jing is indeed very visionary.

Or the authorities are confused, while the bystanders are clear.

In the future, he should refer to other people's opinions more, rather than act arbitrary.

"Father, there is one thing that a child doesn't know whether to talk about or not."

When Zheng Jing saw that Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood, he mustered up the courage.

"Tell me."

"Father, the child wants to go to Zhenjiang to stay and share his worries!"

Zheng Jing said loudly.
