Once the news spread that the entire Penghu army was wiped out and Liu Guoxuan fled back to Taiwan in a panic, the whole Dongning was shaken. Ming and Zheng thought that the building would collapse, and they were in panic all day long. Facing the scene of the doomsday, Zheng Kezang resolutely stood up On the second day of Liu Guoxuan's defeat, he summoned the Boy Scouts and Luanyiwei Town to swear an oath outside Anping City.

"Let's sing, Man Jianghong." Zheng Kezang in full uniform swept the team in front of him. Although the Boy Scouts still consisted of two towns in the past two years, the number of the first town had expanded from two to three. In fact, there were more than 500 people in the barracks, and the first step for the nearly [-] people to feel his determination was to cheer up the low morale. "Rushing to the crown, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain"

Ying He's voice gradually expanded from the front of the team to the whole audience. When the volume of nearly ten thousand people gathered together, it suddenly formed a torrent that went straight to the sky: "Zhi Zhi eats the meat of the barbarians hungry, and laughs and talks about thirsting for the blood of the Huns. Wait for the beginning, Clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!"

Huang Zhong's Dalu-like voice suddenly stopped, and there was an awe-inspiring silence on the scene. At this time, Zheng Kezang suddenly shouted: "The Qing army can go straight to Dongning. The battle has reached the last moment, so today, I don't want to say anything. There is no distinction between Hua and Barbarians, and nothing about preserving the clothes of the Han family, I just ask you if you are willing, if you are willing to die for Yu!"

The whole audience was shocked, the Boy Scouts and the crowd of Luan Yiwei looked at each other, but soon someone shouted: "I am willing!"

One, two, one squad, one team, one battalion, the sparse voices quickly became one, and in the end, the crowd was full of shouts of "I am willing, I am willing!"

In the deafening sound of "the minister is willing", Zheng Kezang clenched his right fist and put it on his left chest. This vassal lives and dies on the front line, if it can be saved, the merits of the princes will never be forgotten, and it will be remembered as a stone, and it will last forever!"

Responding to Zheng Kezang was the sound of kneeling and worshiping. Under the leadership of some deputy battalion officers and team leaders who were born in the Boy Scouts, hundreds of thousands of soldiers swore: "Born as a Daming, Death is a great Ming ghost! There is still one breath left, and I will never be captured."

Receiving the renewed allegiance of the Boy Scouts and Luan Yiwei, Zheng Kezang immediately cast his thunderous means. The first step was to take Chen Liangzhu who escaped from Penghu in the first place and put him in prison. Sun Youlao temporarily took charge of the rectification and cooperated with Wu Shu to ensure the safety of the North Central Line, and the rest of the navy's left-behind personnel were all transferred to the Taijiang team.

"Grandchildren." Zheng Kezang was explaining his arrangement to He Gan and other Boy Scouts and the command of Luan Yiwei, when suddenly a guard walked in and reported. "Grandson, Hong Senyi and Ke Senyi have brought hundreds of officials into the city, and are now waiting for the grandson in the main hall."

"What are they making fun of?" Zheng Kezang patted his head with a headache, but this important official couldn't see him, so he could only explain to He Ganwait. "I'm going to see them, you go back quickly, all the ministries should pay close attention to training gunnery skills, don't care about the accuracy, as long as they can shoot the shells out, I think there is a fixed amount of gunpowder packs, it is absolutely impossible to do this Difficult"

"Grandson." Seeing Zheng Kezang sitting on the seat, Hong Lei immediately stepped out. "After Penghu's defeat, the people of the clan were depressed, and the idea of ​​surrender was rampant. However, the grandson swore to be his teacher the day before yesterday and still had the intention to fight again. I also asked the grandson to show Dongning clearly, so as to correct the hearts of the people and the army."

"My grandson, I think we can't fight any more." Before Hong Lei finished speaking, Yang Ying jumped out from beside him. "I think that now that the army has no fighting spirit, how can the Boy Scouts and the three Luanyiwei Townships alone be able to preserve the foundation of the vassal? I think that we should go south to Luzon immediately, so that we may be able to extend the protection of the clan."

"Going to Luzon is easier said than done. Where's the boat?" Li Jing immediately objected. "Now there are only three or four hundred warships and civilian ships in Taiwan, and some of them are still operating overseas. How many people can the rest carry? Is Master Yang planning to make all the officials give up their wives? Or is he going to let the soldiers Are you leaving your wives and children behind?"

What Li Jing said made sense. If the soldiers knew that they would never see their family members again after leaving, they might mutiny immediately. On the other hand, if the officials did not bring their family members with them, who would swear to follow them to the death?Even if the officials do not bring their families, the soldiers are accompanied by their wives and children, but how many soldiers can these ships bring?If there are fewer soldiers, then it is not taking Luzon as the foundation, but asking Luzoni for protection under the fence, which requires the consent of the other party. "

However, Li Jing's words quickly caused Zhang Riyao's backlash: "Then Master Li means to stay in Dongning and wait for death? Or is Master Li already hooked up with Shi Lang, ready to sell the owner for glory?"

"What do you mean by that?" Li Jing looked at the other party disapprovingly. "The grandson is also determined to fight to the death. Is it possible that the grandson is also planning to betray Dongning?" Li Jing used Zheng Kezang as a shield, which immediately made Zhang Riyao speechless, and Li Jing continued. "I think that now we can only sign troops immediately, and there are still 10,000+ strong men in Taiwan. If it takes time, the Qing captives may not be able to invade the land."

"The problem is that Shi Lang, a traitor, will never give us time to train soldiers." Wang Jingong's face was ashen. He knew that if all the officials of Zheng Fan and even Zheng Kezang surrendered, they might not die. Ting rebellion, Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong's situation is the best precedent. "And it's not that the more the better, how to deal with food." Speaking of this, Wang Jingong suggested. "Xun soldiers and veterans may be able to gather immediately."

When Fu Weilin heard this, he hurriedly dissuaded him: "If Xun soldiers and veteran soldiers are transferred, I'm afraid that those Qing army prisoners will take the opportunity to cause chaos in the local area."

"Then recruit those Qing army captives and let them kill each other with Shi Lang."

"No, no, these people have only hatred and no kindness with this feudal clan. If they are transferred into soldiers, I'm afraid they will defect before the battle and miss a big deal." "In my mind, it's better to kill them all before the chaos spreads, so as to avoid future troubles."

The hall was noisy, just like a vegetable market. Zheng Kezang signaled with his eyes, and the guards beside him stomped the gourds in their hands heavily (note: a long-handled hammer, a kind of guard of honor in the palace), which made the crowd converged.

At this time, Zheng Kezang asked lightly: "Why didn't Zheng Shenzheng come?"

"Zheng Shenzheng is said to be ill." Hong Lei explained in this way. Of course, everyone knows what happened. Escape from the isolated island of Taiwan.

"Sick?" Zheng Kezang sneered. "What about Uncle Wu Ping? Is he also sick?"

"Uncle Wu Ping said that he was ashamed of the great trust he had given to his ancestors and grandchildren. Now he is thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors at home." Ke Ping replied like this, but if thinking about mistakes behind closed doors can save tens of thousands of losses, Zheng Kezang would have thought about it behind closed doors. Why would Liu Guoxuan come here? Hypocrisy.

"Yu dealt with Chen Liang, Wu Pingbo must have hurt him." Zheng Kezang vomited the poison, and everyone looked at each other, but at this time no one dared to come out to defend Liu Guoxuan, but Zheng Kezang was worried about the instability of Master Lu. Therefore, he did not plan to punish Liu Guoxuan immediately. "Masters," Zheng Kezang stood up. "Yu has made up his mind. Neither my grandfather nor my father succumbed to the Tartars, and I will never succumb. It is nothing more than a death. It is only natural for a king to die."

"Jin Nineteen." Back in the inner courtyard, Zheng Kezang summoned the old man who had been with him for 20 years. "Go and check, how many merchant ships and civilian ships are there in Taiwan, including those under Yu's name?" "Go and control all the ships in your hands, and then secretly let the wind say that if you want to leave, let him buy a space with you, gold, silver, copper, iron, slaves, and land deeds are all fine. In short, you can't make them cheap, but remember not to Let people know that the inner court is handling this matter." Jin Shijiu looked at Zheng Kezang in confusion, and Zheng Kezang explained. "Instead of forcing them to stay and let them hook up with the Tartars, it's better to send them away far away to make peace. As for collecting money harshly? I'm still hoping to use their wealth to make up for the holes in the feudal clan. "Jin Nineteen took the order and left, Zheng Kezang sighed quietly. "This can be regarded as a big wave washing the sand"

Just as she was talking, Chen Xianqiao walked over with her two-month-old son Baoguan.Zheng Kezang took the baby from the wet nurse, stroked the newborn's delicate skin with his fingers, and then made a decision: "Come on, tell Gong Tian to let the Liuqiu camp prepare three boats, and tomorrow we will send Yongtaibo, Zhao Anbo and Min Qingbo's family are sent to Nagasaki."

Chen Xianqiao frowned: "Husband, this is not good, in case the second and third uncles have to follow suit."

"Let them come to find Yu if you want to escape, but you have to spit out everything you eat." Zheng Kezang expressed his position just as he had just told Jin Shijiu. "Taiwan is already chaotic enough. It's nothing to run away from two clansmen. It's just that you and your children have to stay and die with you."

"Husband, why should you say such a thing." Chen Xianqiao showed determination. "Marry a chicken and follow a chicken and marry a dog and follow a dog. If the husband dies for the country, the concubine will never live alone." Zheng Kezang was shocked. This seemed to be Chen Xianqiao's choice from another time and space. Withdrew, Chen Xianqiao said again. "If the husband is defeated, the concubine will be the first to strangle Jinniang and Baoguan to death, but I think sister Ziling and the others are about to give birth, so should I also prepare a boat for them just in case?"

This is to prepare for Zheng Kezang's continuation of incense, and it is also the last thing Chen Xianqiao can think about for Zheng Kezang.

Zheng Kezang patted the back of his wife's hand emotionally: "Alright, Yu will arrange the carriage and boat, and once you get the news that Shi Lang's army has landed and Yu Zhan is dead, you can let them rush to beat the dogs and go out to sea from there." , Shi Lang will definitely catch up."

Chen Xianqiao nodded lightly, and then leaned on Zheng Kezang's body. The couple stared at the baby boy in their hands, hoping that the short-lived warmth of this moment could last forever
