Chapter 176 The Great Enemy Zheng Zhilong

Those who came to pick up people at the pier were not only Wei Yuan who belonged to the army, but also Du Dewei, the deputy commander of the Marine Corps.

Du Dewei, the remnant of the South American guerrillas, traveled relatively late, so he didn't know Chen Huoding.But it doesn't matter, Du Dewei, who already has a certainty in his heart, just shook hands with Chen Erye with a smile on his face, and finished with a few introductions.

Chen Erye is confused about the division of arms within the army.Fortunately, before he set off from Hangzhou, he had been hinted and suggested by Lu Cheng, so now he probably knows that Du Dewei is in charge of the elite leaders of "Testing horses, not accepting them at night", and is the leader of the army.

The helpless Chen Erye can only take one step at a time.It was not his wish to be forced to participate in these internal factional struggles before becoming a leader.Naturally, the recruit training camp that no one could escape followed: Erye, who was ticking the boards, was quickly assigned to the newly built barracks on Dayuan Island, where he silently packed up his bed, surrounded by recruit instructors who read out the regulations aloud—— An old man from Pingfengzhai, Er Ye's current immediate boss.

Those who went to Dayuan Wharf to pick up the ship that day also included two navy personnel.Of course, with so many soldiers coming to the pier, it was naturally not because Chen Huoding, the second recruit, was just a pistachio for everyone to see and make fun of.The real intention of these people coming to the pier was to meet Wang Xiaohui: Three days ago, when this gentleman was still floating at sea, he had already been appointed as the naval representative of the "Zhengfeng" project.

So, today's occasion is a little bit depressing. In fact, the atmosphere on Dayuan Island has been quite tense recently.Of course, Chen Erye, an outsider who came to Dayuan for the first time, couldn't feel it.

It is now May of 1628.The most important foreign work of the time-traveling forces this year: the elimination of Zheng Zhilong's gang is already in the formal implementation stage.

Since Xiong Wencan entered Fujian, the cross-country people who have been paying close attention to the situation in the Fujian Sea have held 2 enlarged meetings and 1 special meeting based on the information sent back by expatriates.This number is unique in the short history of the time-traveling forces.

The current situation is: the representative of Dayuandao stationed in Fuzhou has successfully interviewed Xiong Wencan many times.In addition to presenting a large number of treasures, the representative expressed the urgency of the Huawai people to serve the country loyally.

The above actions, together with the "consultant plan" of a popular praise painting "out of public interest" in the governor's yamen, have successfully made Xiong Wencan make a strategic judgment: give priority to interviewing the leader of the gang: Cao Chuan.If everything goes well after that, Xiong Wencan plans to formally appease the big officials and give support to Cao Chuan's government to suppress all pirates including Zheng Zhilong.

Although the old bear is still in a wait-and-see state and has not completely turned to the big staff, but this result is enough to make everyone in the big office excited-this is normal, and the old bear has no choice in history. Now that there is one more senior member to help, the old bear will naturally be up for grabs.

You know, Xiong Wencan in history left Beijing with the acquiescence of the court to appease Zheng Zhilong.Not long after Lao Xiong arrived in Fujian, he started to appease Zheng Zhilong. The process was smooth, and there were no necessary items for the government to appease bandits in previous dynasties: repeated comings and goings, bargaining, ambushes and traps—here you can get a glimpse of Lao Xiong Sincerity, and the weakness of the Ming Empire under the powerful appearance.

It is not easy for the traversing forces to obtain such a slot priority, which is the result of foresight + long-term layout.

Xiong Wencan's news was sent from the radio station of the Fuzhou Intelligence Station three days before Chen Huoding arrived as a port officer.

After getting the news, Xia Xianze immediately called an emergency meeting.

The first thing that was decided at the meeting was the official establishment of the implementation team of the "Zhengfeng" plan aimed at eliminating Zheng Zhilong.The team leader was Dai Yun, director of the Intelligence Bureau, and people including the navy, army and marines were sent to participate.

The second thing that was decided at the meeting was to quickly respond to Lao Xiong's proposition: in the near future, "Mr. Cao" will be sent to Fuzhou to meet with Lao Xiong, and strive to be formally recruited as soon as possible.

At the end of the meeting, the big office ordered the newly released "Zhengfeng" team to come up with a specific plan to eliminate Zheng Zhilong as soon as possible based on the previous plan and the latest information.

As early as the moment when Xiong Wencan stopped by Hangzhou and Xiong Dao approached him to surrender, the officials had deduced the current situation.

The best result that the crossing forces hope to achieve is: Xiong Wencan recruits a member of the crossing forces to launch a "violent general" and confers on this person the official position of a guerrilla general. Pirate power.

This model is conducive to the future when a certain force wins the world and throws the blame: it is XX who is recruited, not Cao Chuan. Although this is deceitful, but it can still be a little smeared in the history books.

Everyone has already planned for the result of the next file: Lao Xiong ignored the so-called fierce brother's suggestion, but went straight to the point, and wanted to recruit Cao Chuan, the leader of the pirates.

What the time-traveling people are facing now is the result of this second grade.

Xibei goods are easy to find, after all, Xiong Wencan doesn't know what Cao Chuan looks like.

As for Cao Chuan himself, it would be ridiculous to go to Fuzhou.As the core competitiveness of the time-traveling forces, the source of all power, not to mention appeasement, even if one day the time-traveling crowd takes down a certain coastal city, without the escort of a large fleet, it is impossible for Mr. Cao to move away from the big staff—— This shit is too important to move lightly!

To sum up, Zhang Dongdong from Xibei is on the stage.

Zhang Dongdong, from Hebei, was an account manager of an advertising company before crossing.

Zhang Dongdong is not handsome, nor does he look very similar to Mr. Cao, nor is he wise, nor does he know how to fight in naval warfare, land warfare, and espionage warfare, so how did he become Mr. Cao's stand-in?
Very simple, the method of elimination.

The first thing to get rid of is heresy.

What is heresy?Those who criticized Xia Xianze's right-leaning capitulationist line were heretics.Simply put: Emperors.

Those who went to accept the consolation would not stay in Dayuan for a lot of time in the future.Therefore, Dayuan's current leadership and all technical personnel, including steelmaking and shipbuilding, are also excluded.

There are not many people left, and most of the people who are unwilling to kneel to the officials of the Ming Dynasty must be eliminated.

In history, when Xiong Wencan recruited Zheng Zhilong, the "five tiger guerrilla generals" he gave not only had a low rank in the Ming system, but even in the traversal system, it was also not a good job.

If you want rights but no rights, there are people behind your every move. There are military professionals in wars and so on, and they have to be sprayed by emperors from time to time. This is a puppet.

To be honest, there are not many competitors for this position, so Zhang Dongdong, the advertising manager, took the position smoothly.Brother Zhang is currently undergoing emergency training: under the name of Cao Chuan, with half-length hair and a wig in his pocket, he is practicing how to kneel and kowtow every day
After clarifying the person responsible for recruiting and planning, the team headed by Dai Yun, after several days of discussion, quickly came up with a plan to eliminate Zheng Zhilong: ambush.

It's impossible to face Gang head-on.There are not so many boats and sailors going to the other side of the sea to find Old Zheng on Dayuan Island.It is unrealistic to expect that Lao Zheng will suddenly become brain-dead, and the whole army will be killed, so after all the calculations, we still have to use the unique high-tech advantage of a certain force: ambush.

As for how to ambush him, Zheng Zhilong had to show his face.Now that the enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, Dai Yun and the others have prepared a series of plans. As long as Lao Zheng still wants to appease him, there is no need to worry about him not taking the bait-get old Zheng, good luck, and eat chicken tonight.

As for the situation after Zheng Zhilong's death, it is the least worrying thing - in history, after Zheng Zhilong was placed under house arrest by the Qing Dynasty, the group of people under him fell apart in an instant, and there was no one who convinced the public.

During this period of time, none of the so-called sea masters, including Zheng Zhilong's brothers and sisters, possessed the innate ability of old Zheng He.On the surface, the brothers would fight each other as soon as they learned of Lao Zheng's braid.

If Lao Zheng is included in Glorious Three Kingdoms, there is no doubt that Lao Zheng's leadership will be 90+.In his youth, Zheng Zhilong had a talent shared by all great commanders: forming a united front.

Looking at the successors throughout the ages, such as Liu Han, Li Tang, and even Zhu Baba, the Taizu of the later dynasty, these people can always clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in a complicated situation-at a certain point in time, unite with the second brother to fight against each other. Boss, let's break up, turn our faces, and continue to join forces with the third child to fight the second child until all opponents die out.

Zheng Zhilong also has this ability.

In history, Zheng Zhilong first united a group of seemingly indistinguishable pirates to plunder, using bonuses as bait to trick everyone into opposing the government.However, after someone successfully accepted the recruitment, he turned around and killed the old brothers one by one.

There is a historical fact in the middle that can make an extremely obvious comparison: shortly after Zheng Zhilong was first recruited, he was rebelled by his superficial brother Li Kuiqi.At that time, Li Kuiqi had already instigated most of Zheng's original team, occupied Xiamen, and drove Zheng Zhilong and several of his clan brothers back to Fuzhou.

At this time, the Dutchman played.

The Dutch fleet came to Zhangzhou Bay at the invitation of Zheng Zhilong.At that time, Zheng Zhilong changed his attitude of ignoring the Dutch. He not only organized a small amount of raw silk to be delivered to the Dutch, but also wrote many letters promising: as long as you help me get Li Kuiqi, the raw silk business will be easy to negotiate in the future.
The Dutch are not stupid. The Dutch subconsciously do not want Zheng Zhilong to gain power. Therefore, during the days in Zhangzhou Bay, the Dutch sent ships to contact Li Kuiqi many times and made a request: as long as Li Kuiqi promised the raw silk trade in the future, the Dutch would turn around and attack Zheng Zhilong. .

The Dutch were blatantly doing the above double asking for prices, and Zheng Zhilong's envoy was living on the Dutchman's boat at that time.

However, Li Kuiqi is unwilling to cooperate with the Dutch
At such a critical moment, the arrogant Li Kuiqi was unwilling to ship raw silk to the Dutch. At that time, Li Kuiqi occupied Xiamen and had a large amount of raw silk on hand.

The days passed day by day, until the night before Zheng Zhilong led the fleet supported by the government to join him, the Dutch contacted Li Kuiqi for the last time. The Dutch finally despaired. The next day, the Dutch gunboat rushed into Li Kuiqi's For the fleet, Zheng Zhilong had the last laugh with a small force.

The above historical facts are recorded in detail in the Dutchman's "Zelandia Diary".

Therefore, judging the situation, especially in the Middle Ages when information was poor, the ability to put aside all likes and dislikes and unite with the enemy is really a trait possessed by a small number of people.

Therefore, the only one who can make the time travelers afraid is Zheng Zhilong himself - this handsome guy who can unite his strength and fight against the time travelers as long as he doesn't die.
