Ming politicians

Zheng Zhilong's influence is mainly concentrated in Jinjiang and Anping, where the Quanzhou prefecture is located. In this generation, Zheng Zhilong is very bold and has invested a lot of money to improve the lives of the people. However, in the entire Quanzhou prefecture, Zheng Zhilong's influence is still Not very big, but one thing is, most of the sergeants recruited by Zheng Zhilong are locals. These people have a relationship with the Zheng family, so they naturally support Zheng Zhilong. In terms of army management, Zheng Zhilong is not as grand as Su Tiancheng, but It also guaranteed the military salary of the sergeant, and the military salary was slightly higher than the standard of the imperial court.

Judging from Zheng Zhilong's personal experience, he puts his interests first. As for the court and the righteousness of the nation, he is temporarily retreating. In this regard, Zheng Chenggong is much stronger than him. In the front, except for this difference, the two are similar in the rest. Zheng Zhilong's influence on Zheng Chenggong is still huge.

The Jiangning battalion led by Xiong Zijian and He Renlong, after entering Quanzhou in Fujian, did not continue to cover up their whereabouts, and marched on the official road swaggeringly, and at a very fast speed, which naturally alarmed some ordinary people. Fujian is also a place of many disasters. The land was once plundered by Japanese pirates. At that time, Qi Jiguang led the Qi family army and wiped out the Japanese pirates. Later, the imperial court sent a large army to exterminate the pirates along the coast. Since Zheng Zhilong returned to the imperial court, it has gradually calmed down, but it is only a few years. This time, I suddenly saw a galloping army. The common people didn't know what was going on, and thought that there was going to be a war again, until the news came out that it was the official army of the Xingdu Division. The routine inspection was mainly for the common people to be well festival.

Although some ordinary people feel strange, the officers and soldiers of the Xingdu Division are far from such awe-inspiring.This army looks unusually strong, and it doesn't harass the people at all. The Spring Festival is here, and the people are immersed in the joy of the festival.We are busy celebrating the Spring Festival, but everyone still believes that the officers and soldiers are there to maintain local law and order.

As for the government in various places, it has long been no surprise. [

Zheng Zhilong has an army, and often pulls out cavalry for training, in Quanzhou.This is an open secret. Governments at all levels have benefited enormously from the Zheng family, and turned a blind eye to these situations. The Zheng family's army used their own money anyway.They didn't deprive them of their interests. Besides, everyone knows Zheng Zhilong's toughness. He has been a pirate before and fought against the imperial army, and he won more with less defeat.It was not easy to submit to the imperial court. The Zheng family is rich enough to rival a country, and it is natural to have an army to protect their own interests. There are also officials who once expressed doubts about Zheng Zhilong's possession of so many sergeants. Isn't this thinking of rebelling? Chongwu Institute, Yongningwei Institute, Fuquan Institute, Zhenhaiwei Institute, Jinmen Institute, etc.They are all to protect Zheng Zhilong's interests. The sergeants that Zheng Zhilong can control are mostly the sergeants owned by these guards.It is still the army of the Coastal Guard, so there is nothing to blame.

Officials in Fujian are not stupid. They know that Zheng Zhilong is rich and powerful, and he has certain connections in the court. He must not be able to move it. , Opening one eye and closing one eye is the best choice.

During the march, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong were also a little worried, afraid of being noticed by Zheng Zhilong. Anyway, Zheng Zhilong had a hundred thousand troops in his hands. In fact, it still takes a lot of effort to destroy it. Besides, once these soldiers move, the task of besieging Zheng Zhilong's mansion is unlikely to be completed. If both Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong escape, it is impossible to complete the arrangement of the Master Supervisor. task.

But this kind of worry quickly disappeared. No one cares about such a fast-moving army. You know, everyone has two horses, [-] horses, and [-] sergeants. is appalling.

Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the capital of Quanzhou, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong began to feel nervous. This time, the battle, the raid of thousands of miles, passed through many state capitals in Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian. , After untold hardships, finally faced the final battle.

December 29, Xu time.

The brigade is only twenty miles away from Anping.

After setting up camp, Xiong Zijian and He Renlong discussed again. This time, the main commanders also participated in the discussion.

The map has been laid out, the location of Zheng Zhilong's mansion is clearly marked, and the situation of the surrounding troops is also clear at a glance. The [-] soldiers that Zheng Zhilong can directly dispatch are ten miles away from the mansion, and there are only a small number of cavalry as far as infantry. These infantry received the news and rushed to the mansion. It took about an hour to go back and forth. With this time, the Jiangning battalion soldiers were confident enough to capture Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and others. Zheng Zhilong and others were captured, and all problems were solved.

The ones who really have a certain combat power are the three thousand soldiers in the mansion. These people have followed Zheng Zhilong for a long time. They are not afraid of death. It must be flawed in terms of combat deployment or unified action.

The main task of the Jiangning battalion soldiers was to capture Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong alive.

Zheng Zhilong's wife, Tian Chuan Song, Zheng Chenggong's mother, has a special identity. This is a Japanese woman. It is said that Zheng Chenggong was very down and out when he was in Japan. His father was a well-known local family in Japan, who gave Zheng Zhilong great help and enabled Zheng Zhilong to make a fortune.

Xiong Zijian and He Renlong still have a headache, that is, they must never hurt Zheng Zhilong's family members, especially this Tian Chuansong. This is the clear request of the supervisor. If they violate it, the two will be punished by military law Yes, of course, the two of them believed it. It is by no means that the Master Supervisor has taken a fancy to this Ta Chuanmatsu. Japanese woman.

As for why the Master Supervisor made such a request, the two of them can't explore, but they must do it. On the issue of principle, they must follow the Master Supervisor's request.

"Master He, you lead [-] soldiers and wait at Wuli Bridge. This is the place where Zheng Zhilong's soldiers must pass for reinforcements. I will lead [-] soldiers to attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Zheng Zhilong must celebrate the Spring Festival. Under such circumstances, the precautions must be relaxed. We can go straight to Huanglong and directly target Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong. Here I need to specifically say that Zheng Zhilong’s mansion is close to the sea, and ships can go directly to the mansion. To the south, if our actions are not quick enough to alert Zheng Zhilong, and he and his family escape on the boat, our battle will be a failure."

Just as Xiong Zijian finished the arrangement, He Renlong immediately spoke.

"My lord, I feel that it is necessary to revise the specific combat deployment. These operations are not, they were decided in Dengzhou at the beginning, but I think that the actual situation is different. My lord just said that tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Ten, Zheng Zhilong's mansion must be celebrating the Spring Festival. At this time, it is safest to adopt a surprise attack. Since it is a surprise attack, there must be absolute guarantees for the personnel participating in the battle. The next official suggests , leaving 2000 people to guard Wuli Bridge, and the remaining 8000 people will all participate in the attack."

Xiong Zijian nodded, motioning for He Renlong to continue.

"The lower officials thought that the eight thousand brothers who attacked Zheng Zhilong's mansion would also be divided into four teams. One team of 3000 people was dedicated to dealing with the soldiers of Zheng Zhilong's family. The first team of 3000 people was dedicated to capturing Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and their families. A team of 1000 people rushed directly to the south and controlled the ship as quickly as possible to prevent Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and others from escaping from the sea. The last team of 1000 people guarded the outside of Zheng Zhilong's mansion. Those who report the letter will be arrested, and we will try to resolve the battle in Zheng Zhilong's mansion."[

"Okay, Mr. He has thought carefully, but isn't it too dangerous for you to lead two thousand soldiers to wait at Wuli Bridge?"

The expression on He Renlong's face was not very good-looking, but at this time, he still had to obey Xiong Zijian's arrangement. According to his thinking, it was best to lead the soldiers to attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion.

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with the lower officials here, not to mention that the sergeants under Zheng Zhilong's command don't have time to come to help, even if they all come, the lower officials can handle it, guarding the Wuli Bridge, they don't even think about coming here one by one."

Xiong Zijian walked across to He Renlong, and patted He Renlong's shoulder hard.

"General He, attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion. This task should have been entrusted to you, but I am still a little worried. This battle is different from other battles. You can let your hands and feet go. The requirements of the Master Supervisor are particularly strict, so I will personally come to command, and when necessary, we must control the situation, you are guarding Wuliqiao with 2000 people, you are facing huge risks, please."

He Renlong was a little moved, and he also knew that if he brought soldiers to attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion, he might be tempted to kill him all of a sudden, especially when facing three thousand soldiers, if he couldn't control his murderous aura , What will happen, that is also uncertain.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely stick to Wuli Bridge. I believe that this battle will definitely be a complete victory." (To be continued...)
