Chapter 52

Taking a deep look at Dongshan Island, Zheng Kezang knew that retreating was the best choice at present even though he was unwilling to do so.

The distance from Zhugang to Zhangzhou Prefecture is a full 150 kilometers. He does not know how many Qing troops there are in Zhangzhou Prefecture, but it is still too early to rely on these 5000 people to conquer the world.

The best choice at this time is to go back to Dongning Mansion and develop it again.

"Your Highness, get ready, let's go back." Huang Qing, the management association, said.

"Let's go, we'll be back soon, don't be nostalgic." Saying no nostalgia, in fact, Zheng Kezang is the most nostalgic.

Because Yizhou Island has just been developed, there are not many original buildings that can be rated as wonders by the system, and ordinary buildings must be built by Zheng Kezang himself to count.

Even the Guandi Temple on Dongshan Island can be considered a spectacle, so this land is Zheng Kezang's treasure!

It's a pity that I don't have the strength to stay for a long time now, just wait a little longer, everything will be fine.

"Master, how many ordinary people did you gather to go with you when you go back this time?" Zheng Kezang asked Zhu Tiangui, the local snake.

"Reporting to Your Highness, there are fifteen thousand people in Tongshan City who are willing to go to Dongning Mansion with us." Zhu Tiangui said.

"[-] ordinary people, beyond my expectation." Zheng Kezang said.

"Thanks to Jian Guo's ingenious plan, the common people know Jian Guo's good intentions." Zhu Tiangui flattered him.

It turned out that after Zhu Tiangui defeated Wan Zhengse, he began to engage in a public opinion war in Tongshan City.

Spread the news that Zheng Kezang won the battle and killed too many Qing troops. The Qing army sent [-] troops to retaliate against them and want to massacre the city.

This frightened the civilians in Tongshan City. They didn't have many braids in the first place. If they were ruled by the Qing army, they would be prone to military disasters.

When the public opinion intensified, Zheng Kezang sent someone to post a notice saying that as long as he was willing to go to Dongning Mansion with Ming Zheng's army, everyone would have good land, enough food, and hair to grow.

In order to make the publicity effect better, Zheng Kezang simply used allicin to become a miracle doctor in Tongshan City, and he cured many seriously ill people, which won the hearts of the people.

Therefore, it is not surprising that more than 1 people followed him.

In addition to these reasons, there is another very important point, that is, under the guidance of Zheng Kezang, the Guards and Yongwei Town have committed no crimes to the people in the city, and are willing to do good deeds.

From ancient times to the present, the only troops that can achieve such strict military discipline are the Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army.

There is a saying in ancient times: Bandits are like a comb, soldiers are like a grate, and officials are like a shave.

Bandits and bandits plundered and looted, because they were worried about the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. Although they plundered, they did not dare to stay for a long time.

Scattered soldiers plundered bravely, fought with open fire, had plenty of time, dug three feet into the ground, besides gold and silver, grain, livestock, wood, bamboo and iron were all included in the search, so they were called grates.

Generals and officials loot, gold and silver are fine and soft, besides antique calligraphy and paintings, land and real estate, business houses and properties are all targeted, or tortured, falsely accused of thieves, or even killed for meritorious deeds, massacre the whole family, the whole village, the whole township, and even the whole county , The whole city is called shaving.

The discerning gentry and wealthy households in Tongshan City can see the extraordinaryness of Zheng Kezang's troops.

Because they are a bit out of tune with this era.

"Place them well, we can't lack them for food, if something happens, you will be responsible at that time!" Zheng Kezang said solemnly.

For the people who are willing to go with him, he must eat and drink well. Besides, in this raid, Zheng Kezang got a spoil of [-] shi of grain, and he will not worry about eating and drinking now.

It was originally prepared by Wan Zhengse to besiege Zhu Tiangui, enough to feed 1 of them for two or three months. Unexpectedly, Zheng Kezang was cheaper in the end.

As for bows, arrows and armor, these guards didn't need them, and Zheng Kezang took them and distributed them to Yongwei Town and Zhu Tiangui's [-] troops.

Zhu Tiangui's [-] troops will definitely be dismantled when he goes back, some will be assigned to Liu Guoxuan, and some will be absorbed into the guards. Otherwise, Zhu Tiangui's military power will be too great, which is not a good sign, so let him take care of the navy with peace of mind.

Zheng Kezang doesn't want his forces and warlords to stand everywhere.

"Set sail and go home!"

Zheng Kezang's fleet came in a mighty way, and now they are leaving in a mighty way, and no one saw them off.

Unlike Zheng Kezang who was beaming, everyone on Wan Zhengse's side was frowning.

Wan Zhengse ran fast, gathered a lot of deserters along the way, and brought a full 2000 people back to Zhangzhou Mansion.

When they returned to the city of Zhangzhou Prefecture, the guards almost didn't recognize them.

Because in the past, the arrogant Admiral Wan Zhengse was like a hairless phoenix, and the 2000 people were like beggar soldiers.

The soldiers defending the city thought that the refugees were attacking the city, so they almost lit the beacon smoke.

Fortunately, Wan Zhengse took out the official seal in time to resolve the misunderstanding, otherwise Wan Zhengse would have to fight again.

After returning to Zhangzhou Mansion, Wan Zhengse immediately blocked the news of the defeat, but it was a pity that Wu Yangui, the prefect of Zhangzhou, still found out.

Fortunately, they were both Prince Kang's subordinates, that is, Aixinjueluo Jieshu's subordinates, and they belonged to the same faction, so Wu Yangui didn't backstab Wan Zhengse, but helped him hide it.

"Brother Wei Gao (Wan Zhengse's words), I've heard about it, how did you lose so badly this time." Wu Yangui is from Fengtian, speaking with a Fengtian accent.

"Ziliang, I've suffered a big loss this time, and I'm really sorry for Prince Kang's ardent teaching, hey!" Wan Zhengse sighed when he mentioned this matter.

"The gang of hypocritical remnants are too ferocious, with demonic methods, they killed my [-]-strong army." Wan Zhengse continued.

"Demon law? Lord Wan, even if you lose the battle, you don't need to exaggerate the strength of the thief, right? There is no demon law in this world." Wu Yangui felt that Wan Zhengse was beaten unconscious by Zheng Kezang, and it seemed that it was indeed a disastrous defeat. .

"Ziliang, if you ask my subordinates, you will know that the remnants of hypocrisy are too cruel and invincible." Wan Zhengse was already shadowed by the bayonet charge of the guards.

"And Ziliang, make preparations early. If I'm not wrong, the remnants of hypocrisy will definitely send troops to attack Zhangzhou City. Now hurry up to fortify the walls and clear the country, before it's too late, otherwise Zhangzhou City will be destroyed, and our black hats will be lost." Wan Zhengse warned.

"Lord Wan, since the rumors of your defeat spread, everyone in the Zhangzhou government is in danger. I have already sent people to strengthen the city defense."

"It's just Master Wan, whether you can defend Zhangzhou City depends on you! You must cheer up." Wu Yangui raised his wine glass and said earnestly.

After hearing this sentence, Wan Zhengse remained silent, and the scene fell into silence.

After a long time, Wan Zhengse raised the wine glass on the banquet table with trembling hands, and drank the fine wine in the glass, but the taste was indescribable.

Seeing this, Wu Yangui knew that Admiral Wan was unreliable, so he had better write a letter for help, the admiral can run away, but the prefect can't.

Just when Wu Yangui was about to get up and leave, a rough voice came in.

"Good news, my lord, Minggou has retired!" Li En, the lieutenant general, hurried in.
