The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 721
Zheng Zhihui was in a bad mood, and an obvious countermeasure came at the right time, which caused the emperor and the general who had been wary of each other to reveal their true nature prematurely.

Of course he was loyal to Chongzhen, and he didn't want to see Huang Han rebelling. He advised:
"General, Dongnu knew that he couldn't bear the offensive launched by the 'Red Banner Army', and deliberately separated us from the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty at this critical moment. At this time, we should abandon our distracting thoughts and focus on killing the enemy. Dongnu's treacherous plan will be self-defeating. "

Huang Han asked back: "Eunuch Zheng, when did I have distracting thoughts in my heart? Don't you see that the soldiers are actively preparing for the spring offensive?
Now the lord is a little worried about whether the emperor has any thoughts in his heart?In case there is an imperial decree to urgently call me back to the capital to face the saint, and I want to ask Eunuch Zheng, how should I make a decision? "

When Huang Han said these words, Zheng Zhihui was sweating profusely. If the emperor summoned him at this time, he must be preparing to deal with the General Zhenglu. Who can predict whether Huang Han can leave the capital alive?

Zheng Zhihui's character is not bad, at this moment he was tongue-tied, he didn't intend to fool Huang Han into Beijing, but he didn't want to disobey Chongzhen, it's embarrassing!
Wu Xiang, who had already made up her mind to embrace Huang Han's thigh, said with a serious face:
"General, in order to fully complete the five-year Ping-Liaoning plan, I believe that you must not leave the 'Red Banner Army' at any time.

The emperor's summoning is nothing more than discussing state affairs, and the humble officials and all the adults can do it for them. "

Yang Sichang smiled and smoothed things over and said: "General, please rest assured, the spring offensive is about to launch, there are many clues, and the emperor will not summon you at this time.

This official wants to go to Beijing to play the emperor today, saying that when Daming is about to have a decisive battle with Dongnu, there can be no wavering. "

Huang Han nodded and said: "Master Yang's words have reminded me that communication is the most important thing at any time, so I would like to invite all of you to visit the capital.

Inform the emperor and the princes of the imperial court about the attitude of the Lord that it is impossible to compromise with Jiannu, and let them relax. The five-year Ping Liao is just around the corner. "

Yang Sichang and Zhang Fengyi were very happy to go to the capital to show their faces, and happily agreed to go.

Huang Han took the opportunity to set Zheng Zhilong on the spot, and asked Zhang Fengyi to write a memorial on the spot, and asked Fujian Haiphong guerrilla Zheng Zhilong to participate in the spring offensive.

There is no need for the Fujian navy to land and fight, as long as they send warships to assist the "Red Banner Army" in transporting troops, horses and supplies to North Korea.

The reason is high-sounding, Jiannu will definitely resist in the face of an attack, and there are so many supplies, food and grass shipped from Shanhaiguan, Tianjinwei, Huxue City, Denglai, and Lushunkou.

More than 30 soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and laborers will be transported. If North Korea is captured, no less than one million villagers will have to be transported.

Therefore, the "Red Banner Army" demanded that the more transport capacity the better, the general Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Zhilong to dispatch at least [-] warships to aid Liao.

Both Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong had been ministers of the Ministry of War for several years, so they didn't know Zheng Zhilong's disposition. Although he surrendered to the imperial court, he still did not abandon his old profession of pirates.

Now that General Zhenglu has offered to transfer Zheng Zhilong to Liaohai, the strength of the Longwu Navy is more than enough to deal with a Zheng Zhilong.

If the emperor issued an imperial decree to recruit the Fujian navy to aid Liao, Zheng Zhilong would be in big trouble, whether he would come or not would be a big problem.

Zheng Zhilong was nothing more than a guerrilla general of coastal defense. Although his strength surpassed all the generals of the Ming Dynasty, his status and strength were far from Huang Han's.

He led a private army under the banner of the Fujian Navy to Liaodong and had to obey the orders of the general who conquered the prisoners.

With the strength of the "Red Banner Army" and the ability to assimilate the Ming army, once they board Zheng Zhilong's warships, it is very likely that these warships will never belong to Zheng Zhilong again.

If he refuses to aid Liao, Zheng Zhilong will resist the order and refuse to obey. What is he going to do?Rebel?The Ming Dynasty is no longer ten years ago, and the re-emerging Longwu Navy is not a vegetarian.

Once Zheng Zhilong rebelled, the General Zhenglu would attack immediately.Without his official uniform, Zheng Zhilong will be beaten back to his original form and become a pirate again.

At this time, the "Red Banner Army" fought him, not only occupying the right time, place and people, but also having the righteousness of the court. Zheng Zhilong, who was far from his opponent, was even more vulnerable.

Zheng Zhilong was recruited by Ming Dynasty when Liang Tingdong was Minister of War, so Liang Tingdong studied Zheng Zhilong specially at that time.

Liang Tingdong has seen many warships of the Longwu Navy during this period. He understands military affairs, and of course knows that the size of the ship and the number of artillery are the key to victory in a naval battle.

He is full of confidence in the Longwu Navy under the "Red Banner Army", and believes that Zheng Zhilong and General Zhenglu are fighting like fireflies and bright moons.

Liang Tingdong said frankly: "The general's plan is very clever. Then Zheng Zhilong dominates the South China Sea and enjoys a happy life. I don't know how many benefits he has received in his pocket these years. It's time for him to make some contributions to Ming Dynasty.

A few years ago, when I was serving as Minister of the Ministry of War, the imperial court tried to transfer Zheng Zhilong's Ministry to garrison Juehua Island but failed.

The reason is that many adults in the court were fed up by that guy, and they didn't pay attention to state affairs at all, so they joined hands to deceive the emperor.

In the end, after Zheng Zhilong gave the court a thousand turtledove guns produced by Xiyi, the matter was settled. "

Liang Tingdong also had the nerve to say that many adults took advantage of Zheng Zhilong and spoke for him.

In fact, the biggest bribe he received when he was Minister of the Ministry of War came from the Zheng family in Fujian.

It's just that Zheng Zhilong is too practical, he is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle. Since Liang Tingdong stepped down, he has never refused to turn on the cold stove.

This made Liang Tingdong, who knew how much wealth the Zheng family could get from the powerful officials of the court, felt unhappy. At this time, he took the opportunity to destroy this big cake, so that everyone could not eat it.

Zhang Fengyi was also a court official who had served as Minister of the Ministry of War for two years, so of course he got a lot of bribes from Zheng Zhilong.

But at the end of last year, he hadn't seen anyone from Zheng's family giving gifts. He knew that Haimao's interests were huge, and he also realized that Huang Han intended to attack Zheng Zhilong.

He believes that the strength of the "Red Banner Army" is enough to destroy the Zheng family's pirate group, and that the General Conqueror will become stronger after taking all of the Zheng family's maritime interests, so he chose to follow the strong without hesitation.

Zhang Fengyi said: "It is reasonable and legal for the general to use the Daming coastal defense warships to send troops to North Korea, and the memorial is delivered to the imperial court, and the emperor will definitely approve it.

If there are ministers who object, the old man will argue until they are speechless. Don't worry, the general, we will definitely settle this matter. "

Zheng Zhihui also made a timely statement: "General, when our family returns to Beijing, we will definitely explain the benefits of increasing warships to deliver troops and supplies.

The five-year flattening of the Liao Dynasty is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the imperial court will spare no effort. It is a trivial matter to transfer dozens of warships from the coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Zhilong to the Liao Dynasty, and the emperor will definitely allow it. "
