Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

123. Liu Heshi's Decision

"So Wu Pingbo agreed to surrender?" Hong Lei almost pointed at Liu Guoxuan's nose and cursed. "Okay, okay, Yu said how did the famous Wu Pingbo lose to traitors like Shi Lang in Penghu? It turned out that he had colluded with him a long time ago, okay, okay, ruined tens of thousands of children in this domain, you still have Stand here face to face."

Hearing Hong Lei's words, Zheng Kezang's expression couldn't help but change. In the Penghu sea battle, the strength of the two warring parties was roughly the same. However, Zheng Jun had managed Penghu for many years and had fortified defenses in advance. It is said that Zheng Jun was actually in a favorable situation, but the result was a complete defeat and the entire army was wiped out. Based on the analysis of Liu Guoxuan's performance at Zushantou and Banwei Dengzhan, it can only be said that Liu Guoxuan had a problem.

Zheng Kezang's mind suddenly came up with several reports on the repatriation of wounded soldiers, in which it was mentioned that Qiu Hui had said to Liu Guoxuan before his death, "It's the first time I arrived on the other ship, An'ao is still undecided, and the soldiers' hearts are still shaken. Just like Zuo Huwei, Jiang Sheng Guan formation, but Huang Liangji, the commander-in-chief of Jianwei Zhongzhen, also said that "preemptive strikes, attacking halfway, is in line with the art of war", but these reasonable suggestions were taken by Liu Guoxuan with "be cautious at all times on the fort." Shou, where can he park? In June, when the wind blows, where will he be? This is to wait for work with leisure, and you can reap all the achievements without fighting." etc. were rejected.

Later, when the navy of the Qing army was moored at Bahou Islet, Qiu Hui suggested to "find its position, ride the tide at night, and rush to the boat to attack it", but Liu Guoxuan refused because it was inconvenient to search in the dark.In the first battle on June [-], Shi Lang was injured, and the Qing army was unstable. Qiu Hui once again suggested that "the art of war is as follows: you can attack halfway through, you can attack when you are not sure about setting up a camp, and you can attack when you take advantage of the emptiness; now the enemy has three problems, so don't take advantage of them." Its momentum, if there is no wind sooner or later, and the ten thousand people fight to the death as one, what will happen?" Liu Guoxuan still refused.

If the series of refusals and refusals were to rely on the fortresses on each island to stick to it, then Liu Guoxuan should make full use of the fortifications to preserve his vitality and avoid a decisive battle with the Qing army. However, when Shi Lang attacked on June 22, Liu Guoxuan suddenly ignored the plan Plan, resolutely carry out the counterattack, what does this show?Moreover, Liu Guoxuan of different time and space got the post of general soldier of Tianjin Town after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

All kinds of doubts came to Zheng Kezang's mind. At that time, he couldn't judge that Liu Guoxuan had surrendered to the enemy just because of the reports of several wounded soldiers and some results from different time and space. But now, Liu Guoxuan's performance has more and more confirmed that he has indeed fallen into the water. Possibly, Zheng Kezang was glad that he did not follow what the other party said and filled Penghu with civilian ships, merchant ships, and Boy Scout sailors.

However, when did Liu Guoxuan hook up with the Qing army?Is it when you feel that you can't control Ming Zheng's regime or when you see Zheng Kezang disposing of Feng Xifan?However, Zheng Kezang will not go any further into this matter. You must know that Liu Guoxuan's prestige in the Zheng army of the Ming Dynasty is extraordinary. It would be much better if it was found but not found out, because that would also make Zheng Jun lose his final fighting spirit in the atmosphere of suspicion.

Although Zheng Kezang was silent, Ke Ping beside Hong Lei was also filled with righteous indignation: "Master Liu, if you fled overseas like Zheng Xingying and others, someone will tell you apart, saying that you are not afraid of fighting. It is to collect the remnants and premeditate to fight again, but now you keep saying that you want to cut off the slaves, which is really chilling. You are the minister of the late king. Are you worthy of the trust of the late king? Come on, get this traitor out, so as not to waste money. Stain someone's eyes here."

Since Zheng Kezang did not speak, the guards in the hall did not attack Liu Guoxuan. Even so, Li Jing, Lin Weirong, Chen Kejun and other officials also stepped forward to accuse Liu Guoxuan.This is not because they are all unswerving main fighters, it is Zheng Kezang who has been ruthless these days, and temporarily controlled all the power of Dongning's remaining armed forces by eliminating unstable elements--the knife has been set It's on the neck, so they can't help but make a high profile, not to mention that Zheng Kezang gave them a chance of life---until the last moment, naturally they still have to put on the posture of a loyal minister as much as possible.

"If you don't surrender, do you rely on you half-hearted guys?" The tiger didn't show his power and regarded me as a sick cat. Liu Guoxuan raised his eyebrows, and a wave of evil spirit rushed towards his face, which immediately made all the civil servants frightened trembling. "Grandson," Liu Guoxuan cast his gaze on Zheng Kezang, who was silent from beginning to end. "The descendants stick to the foundation of the ancestors, but there is nothing to say. However, how many soldiers in Dongning are defeated by the more than 1 remnants? Do the grandchildren want the whole of Taiwan to be buried together?"

"Some people always think that they are standing on the commanding heights of morality, but they never think about whether they have done something wrong." Zheng Kezang slowly stood up from his chair, narrating in words that no one present could understand, Liu Guoxuan He was wondering, but the next sentence made his face flush. "Uncle Wu Ping is old and out of his mind. Someone will send him back. Don't come to Anping again." As soon as these words came out, an uncontrollable anger rushed from Liu Guoxuan's chest to his head. Ke Zang, but before he could speak, two guards stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right. "Anyone else advocates surrendering to the Qing captives." Zheng Kezang pulled out the sword left by Zhu Jin and struck it on the corner of the case table. "There are so many!"

"Zhuzi, you are going to destroy Dongning." Liu Guoxuan cursed, and the two guards, regardless of his high morals, dragged him out as if they were dealing with a prisoner. Liu Guoxuan resisted vigorously, but he was already over 50. He was no match for a strong young man at all, so he was quickly kicked out, but his scolding still echoed in the hall. "Goug out the old man's eyes and put them on the city of Anping, the old man wants to watch"

"Want to learn from Wu Zixu? Yu still doesn't want to be this Fucha." Zheng Kezang sneered, and then ordered. "Put the envoys from the Qing court in prison. In the future, there will be envoys who will come and arrest one by one. I just don't have anyone who will sacrifice the flag."

In a hastily built thatched hut, the mysterious Lu Daniu was persuading Wang Jiu, who came out of the prisoner camp and the labor force at the same time: "Brother Jiu, this is an opportunity. Washing off the crimes of captives, you will have to be promoted to a noble in the future, which is better than living on yams all day long."

"Brother Big Niu, it's easy to do it, but what about weapons? Do you just rely on these farm tools?" Wang Jiu didn't want to make a fuss anymore. Although the situation is a little bit poorer now, he can get a full stomach if he is given [-] acres of wasteland to reclaim. It's better than dying by the gun. "Even if you cut bamboo into soldiers, but there are veterans of the Zheng army in the card armor, and Xun soldiers stationed in Baoshang, they will turn a blind eye."

"Why is Brother Jiu so timid?" Lu Daniu disagreed. "Those veterans and Xun soldiers, there are a few who can really fight. Besides, General Shi is about to enter the stage, and these Zheng Jun barbarians don't get scared and leave the team and go home. It's already good, and they dare to attack us. "Speaking of this, Lu Daniu tempted. "I haven't touched my mother's for several years, brother Jiu doesn't want to get one for me?" But Wang Jiu still shook his head, Lu Daniu thought that Wang Jiu would not let go if he didn't see the real chapter, so he threw out his hole card. "People came from the province, and they promised that as long as Dongning is disturbed, those who do it will at least get a foreign commissioner to pay the general reward, and those who are officials will be reinstated."

"Even if it's Mr. Qian or even Mr. Ba of the Foreign Commissioner, I won't go." Wang Jiu still firmly refused to be tempted, and even persuaded him in reverse. "Brother Big Niu, I say you don't want to go, the soldiers are dangerous, and it's really not worth putting your own head on in the name of a mere official."

"You bastard!" Lu Daniu left Wang Jiu's room, and immediately spat

At the end of July, a fleet of strange ships appeared on the inland waters of the Taijiang River. It is said that their strangeness is not because of the strange shape of the ships, because although sand ships are rare in Fujian Province, it is not that they have never appeared before. The rainbow span device appeared on the boat, but it was inexplicable---Zheng Kezang didn't know when the gantry crane was used, but the principle was simple, it was nothing more than a block of pulleys, so he ventured to use it on the ship, and the result was not bad, as long as The wind and waves are not big, and the sand boat can be used as the base of the gantry crane. Of course, in order to maintain balance, he must use two boats to build such a gantry crane. see.

"Do you still remember where you were yesterday?" Li Mingchun, who was in charge of commanding the fleet, asked the waterman beside him. The waterman didn't answer, but just plunged into the water, and emerged from the sea after a while. "Try a little more." Li Mingchun ordered after listening to Shuifu's report. "Fifty steps to the left."

Soon the fleet came to a stop, and several heavy bamboo tendon prefabricated structures were carefully hoisted up, and then they went deep into the water. It landed steadily on the seabed full of sand and mud.

"With this thing and the iron ropes that block the sea, any chasing boat, two-sail boat, bird boat, or cannon boat will definitely sink if it hits it." A military officer of the Boy Scouts told Li Mingchun joking. "The only disadvantage is that it is easy to put this thing down, but it will be difficult to take it up again in the future."

"What are you doing with so much nonsense? Do you still care about getting up in the future?" Li Mingchun's words are full of anxiety and irritability, which is understandable. But the enemy is powerful after all, and the boy scouts who don't have much battle experience are naturally quite worried. "Besides, whether this thing is useful or not is still a problem. Who knows that Shi Lang will definitely go to Luermen?"

"Son Zhu Qin, I don't know how to dare to resist the heavenly soldiers." Here they are discussing the way of the Qing army's invasion, and the Qing army in Penghu is almost ready. "Now that a veteran general like Liu Guoxuan is imprisoned, and a brave general like He You is isolated, he really thinks that he can rely on thousands of puppies who have never seen blood to be able to resist."

Shi Lang's words immediately caused the generals of the Qing army to laugh wildly. Dong Yi, the commander in chief, even yelled, "You don't need to send out a large army, just a battalion led by the last general is enough."

Shi Lang frowned. He was able to live in Beijing for more than ten years on a small salary, so he was naturally an extremely gloomy character. However, all such characters are cautious, and the more they come to this time, the less they want to make mistakes: "Dong Zhen said carefully, since ancient times, When fighting with a lion against a rabbit, if you go deep with a lone army, you will have nothing to say if you win, but if you lose, the morale of the entire army will fall."

"Isn't it because I don't want others to share my military achievements," Dong Yi slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface, instead he had to admit his mistakes submissively. "What the military gate said is that the humble official has lost his composure, so please ask the military gate to punish him."

Shi Lang picked Dong Yi out as a target just to remind the generals below that the war is not yet over, so they should put away their arrogance, and they really don't want to punish anyone, so they just waved their hands to signal Dong Yi to get up and go back to his queue to go.

Dong Yi was discouraged, but Wu Qijue, the second-class bodyguard of Kangxi's eyes, stepped forward: "Junmen wants to attack Dongning with all their strength, but there are many ports in Taiwan, and Haini is everywhere. I don't know where Junmen plans to attack. , the humble ranks can also deal with it.”

If someone spoke to Shi Lang in such a tone, he would order someone to cut him off without saying a word, but Wu Qijue is a supervising army without a clear document, and if Shi Lang didn't give him face, he would also give face to the Supreme in Beijing, so Shi Lang stood up immediately , walked to a masked map and pulled it hard: "If Mr. Wu doesn't say it, I should also explain it clearly."

Speaking of this, Shi Lang poked hard at a certain point on the map: "Our army should attack Taijiang from Luermen, take Chengtian and encircle Anping, and defeat Zhu Qin's remnants in one fell swoop."

"Luermen?" Everyone exclaimed immediately, and Wu Qijue asked with a frown. "It is rumored that the Luer Gate is a natural danger, and the water is shallow and difficult to enter. How could the military gate think of entering the Taijiang River from here?"

"It is true that the nature is dangerous and the water is shallow, but in the past, the surname was given to Taiwan from Luermen. At that time, the people in Dongning thought it was a gift from the gods, but in fact it was worthless. Luermen is a place where the water is usually shallow. False, but the day with the highest tide every year is enough for boat masters to pass." Shi Lang explained, this is the benefit of having *. "If our army can enter the Taijiang River from here, will the people of Taiwan also think that the imperial court's recovery of Dongning is a natural move?" Wu Qijue nodded frequently, but Shi Lang didn't finish his sentence. "Furthermore, since the water in Luermen is shallow, Dongning will not be able to fortify. This is much better than forcibly shaking the forts in the South Waterway."

"Then why don't you enter Taiwan from the Daofeng Coast or Lukang further north?" Wu Qijue was still a little puzzled.

"It's too far from Lukang to Taiwan. Don't forget that Taiwan is short of food. Our army can't get supplies from the people of Dongning on the spot. Once the sea reverses desperately to stop the attack on the northern line, the transportation of food and fodder will also be a big problem." In fact, it is so. It is said that Shi Lang is selfish, because the food and fodder are the affairs of Yao Qisheng and Wu Xingzuo, if they march from Lukang, they will have to share the credit with them. "As for the ports of Daofeng, there are many swamps along the way, and it is difficult to deploy an army quickly, so after much deliberation, I decided to go to Luermen."
