Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Half an hour after Shi Lang killed himself, the news of Hong Gongzhu's victory also came. The remaining 500 or so detoured Qing troops under the conquest commander Chen Mang and He Yi attacked Youhuwei and Xuanyi Town again early in the morning. However, they were defeated by the counterattack of the two towns that had been prepared for a long time. Chen Mang and He Yi died in battle one after another, and the Qing army was killed and wounded. Except for the rebellion of the army prisoners and the [-] people from Wu Ying's tribe who were unaware of the North Shanwei Island, the Qing army who landed on Taiwan no longer had any organized resistance.

After that, about half an hour later, Chen Long, the commander-in-chief of Kinmen Town in the Qing Dynasty who stayed behind in the navy, saw that the fighting on the shore had slowed down, so he took the initiative to send someone to land to ask for surrender. After obtaining Zheng Kezang's consent, the remaining three Thousands of five hundred Qing troops docked their boats and surrendered with their hands tied. At this point, Shi Lang, the commanding officer of the Qing army on the expedition to Dongning, committed suicide, Lin Xian and Chen Long among the five commanders surrendered, Chen Chang died in battle, and Yang Jiarui, the commander-in-chief, disappeared. , only Wu Ying is still dying

"Victory! Long live!" When Zheng Kezang appeared on the main battlefield under the guard of the first town, thousands of Zheng Jun waved their weapons and cheered loudly. They still can't believe it. , This duel with disparity in strength will end in our own victory. You must know that even if you don’t count those who were killed or injured, the number of surrendered and captured Qing troops with healthy siblings and uninjured bodies exceeds All Zheng Jun participated in the war from east to west.

"Order Hong Gongzhu to leave one of them to clean up the battlefield, and the rest to come and meet up as soon as possible." Although he knew that the Qing army had no will to resist, Zheng Kezang still ordered safely. "In addition, send people to report victories to Anping, Chengtian, Tianxing, Wannian, Zhuluo, Fengshan and Tamsui." Waiting for the guards with happy faces to ride away, Zheng Kezang watched thoughtfully. Looking at the dark crowd of prisoners in front of him. "Chen Long reported that the food brought by the Qing captives with the ship was eight thousand shi?

The accompanying He Gan, Mao Hongyan, Wang Jingong, Zhang Xueyao and others were a little dumbfounded when they heard it. They obviously guessed Zheng Kezang's intentions, but this was too amazing, so it was not until a long time later that He Gan had the courage to ask Zheng Kezang for help. Zang Jinyan said: "Grandchildren, there is a way that killing prisoners is inauspicious."

"Ominous?" Zheng Kezang bared his teeth, his face looked so ferocious. "In order to resist the Qing captives, almost every family in Dongning wears mourning. Is it possible to watch these prisoners of war who killed their husbands and sons get away with it? Ominous? It is so ominous that it is better to be alone." Zheng Kezang then ordered with. "I will detain the general and above alone, and the rest will be executed ten times and one kill. The blood of these traitors and running dogs will be used to sacrifice the soldiers who died in the battle. It is also to let everyone know that who dares to hit the head of the family again. These guys It’s a lesson for them.”

Several generals were shocked immediately. Zheng Kezang raised the question to the level of avenging the dead soldiers, making it impossible for them to refute. When he was at a loss, Guo Chong, the general of Wuchong Township, whose arms were still hanging on his straps, Kai carefully asked Zheng Kezang for proof: "Grandson, will the ten draws and one kill be carried out for Lin Xian and Chen Long? Ten draws and one kill?"

He Gan and others immediately focused their attention. They didn't care about the life and death of Lin Xian and Chen Long's troops, but Dongning was so big, and there were only so many veterans who entered Taiwan with Zhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin back then. Many of them were related by in-laws, and among those present, there were relatives and friends who surrendered in the Penghu battle. If Zheng Kezang could not pardon these former rebels, a considerable number of people would be alienated from their morality.

"Lin Xian and Chen Long's descendants will not implement ten draws and one kill for the time being, but their vacancies will be filled by the remaining Qing captives. The rest only need to kill 2000 people." Zheng Kezang said coldly As he spoke, his tone was full of pleasure of revenge. "As for the rebels who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Penghu, let the Military Law Department first screen them out. If it is just the squad leader, the lower-level officers and soldiers who surrendered together with the officials at all levels, they can use their merits anyway to offset their old crimes. If there are relatives and friends in the army who are willing to pay for their crimes of treason with their own merits, they can also be released without guilt, otherwise they will be sent home. After five years of hard labor in a hard labor camp, they will be released after five years of hard labor; as for officials such as military leaders, wing (association) generals, guerrillas, and generals, they will be sent to hard labor camps as soon as they are screened, and they will not be released without pardon within ten years; It is confirmed that those who led the defection first can be forgiven a little and sent back to their hometowns."

In fact, He Gan and others also knew that among the Zheng army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Penghu, most of the high-level demoted officials who led the army, deputy generals, generals, generals, and admirals were sent to Fuzhou and even Beijing by Shi Lang. Most of the exhibits were not there. Among the army that invaded Taiwan, it is normal that Zheng Kezang did not mention it in his words.And even if a few of these people stayed in the Qing army that invaded Taiwan as leaders and survived the battle, Zheng Kezang would not spare their lives, so persuasion is useless.However, these large numbers of mid- and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers were the most involved, so when Zheng Kezang sensibly divided these people into three classes and dealt with those who had yet to turn back anyway, all the generals showed a look of relief on their faces.

But Zheng Kezang’s words were not finished: “After returning home, first-class rebels such as squad leader and charge officer and below will be charged with [-]% of the land tax within three years as punishment; Chengqi's children within one generation are not allowed to study in Mongolian schools, prefectural and county schools, and imperial schools, and they are not allowed to be officials; the third-class rebellion is included in the list of rebellious ministers, and [-]% of their family's land tax will be collected forever, and children within three generations are not allowed to go to school. You are not allowed to do business as an official, thinking that future generations will follow suit."

The generals stared at each other for a long time and were about to dissuade them, but Zheng Kezang's face darkened: "Those who die and defend the country are rewarded, but those who treason and betray the country are not punished. What kind of country is this? Repaying kindness with kindness is their own karma, so they have to taste the consequences themselves!"

After all, Zheng Kezang didn't seem to want to mention this matter any more, and he ordered: "There are still more than ten thousand Qing troops entrenched on Beishanwei Island and Penghu Island, and there are tens of thousands of Qing army prisoners waiting to be dealt with. This domain has not done its best yet. , I also hope that Zhuqing will continue to fight, but Zhuqing can prophesy to the ministries that they will never let their meritorious deeds go."

Zheng Kezang waved his hand in a moody manner, signaling several people to go back to the army, but stopped He Gan temporarily: "He Qing, He Youshang is entrenched in Danshui, controlling the lifeline of gold and iron in our clan, so we can launch an army to crusade, but our clan won this time. But after all, the vitality is seriously injured, it is better not to fight, so what is the best way for you to do so?"

He Gan's heart skipped a beat, and then he acted as if nothing had happened, but responded with a more respectful attitude: "If the grandson can forgive He You's crime, I would like to believe it, no, I will personally Go to Danshui to persuade him to lead his troops back to the domain."

"Hehe, hehe," Zheng Kezang seemed to be laughing happily, but the laughter was like a heavy hammer, hitting He Gan's heart one after another. "Did He Qing not listen to the lonely explanation just now? Traitors can go unpunished. Is it to encourage people who come after to continue to betray the country and the nation?" Zheng Kezang said categorically. "So He You must die!"

"This, this?" He Gan was sweating on his head. "The minister is willing to make atonement with my meager contribution, and I hope that the grandson of the world will grant me the grace."

"He Qing," Zheng Kezang said kindly. "He Qing, you have made a lot of contributions in this battle. If you count them in detail, it is a merit to train the second town of boy scouts to master artillery skills. It is a merit to assist Wang Zhang Erqing to master the Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Huwei. It is a merit to defeat the enemy of the large platoon. One merit, assisting Zhang Qing to destroy the enemies of Yanyanxi is another merit, and finally he led his troops to kill the traitor Shi Lang, which is another merit. Although with such five merits, the title of marquis is not expected, but an earl will always be rewarded Is He Qing willing to use this prince who can be passed on to future generations in exchange for He You, who is unfaithful, filial, fraternal, and unrighteous?" The more gentle Zheng Kezang said, the more sweat on He Qing's head, At this time, there was a shrill cry from the field, but Zheng Jun had already selected [-] unlucky ghosts from the tens of thousands of captured Qing troops according to Zheng Kezang's instructions to kill them as an example. "He Qing, I don't force you to answer now, but you have to answer within two days, and you still want to rely on Qing's help in the future. You must not let Gu down."

"Minister, minister." He Gan wanted to struggle like a fish out of water but was unable to struggle. After a long battle between heaven and man, he finally couldn't resist the pressure from Zheng Kezang, so he had to bend down. "I will leave for Danshui tomorrow, and I will definitely persuade He You to lead his troops back."

"Okay, very good." Zheng Kezang nodded in satisfaction. "Qing, go and explain to your family and subordinates." He Gan retreated with a solemn expression, and Zheng Kezang immediately asked the guards beside him. "Have Maying and the others set sail?"

"If you come back to the grandson," Zhang Daqi, the deputy guard, reported. "The guard who sent the order hasn't returned yet."

"I guess it's time to set sail now." Zheng Kezang said to himself. "It's impolite to come and go, Kang Mazi, if you didn't act wildly on Gu's territory, if Gu hadn't responded, you should have achieved your martial arts by now. Unfortunately, this time it can only be regarded as a little interest from you. One day we will kill the Forbidden City, and we will settle the accounts." At this point, Zheng Kezang reined in the horse, and the horse struggled to get up, Zheng Kezang then waved his whip in vain, and the horse rushed out, and several guards dared not Neglect, hurry to keep up, wherever they go, Zheng Jun cheers thunderously. "Victory belongs to you, and the future also belongs to you!" Zheng Kezang promised all the way. "Finally one day, we will fight back to the mainland, restore China, and prepare a place for all the ministers alone in the Lingxiao Pavilion!"

When the cheers of the excited Zheng Jun soldiers came to an end again, Zheng Kezang took his horse and then went east and south all the way. He quickly crossed the fields, mountains and hills, and Tianxing Prefecture was left behind by him. Tianfu also passed but not entered, and with a group of guards, he was getting closer and closer to Anping City as he was eager to return home.

"Grandchildren," the guards who didn't care about horsepower first notified Anping of the master's return, and then brought news there. "Madam welcomes you out!"

"Slender! My wife," Zheng Kezang shouted inwardly. "See, I won"
