Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Dozens of Qing army double-sailed boats and boats parked unsuspectingly in Niuxinwan, Niangma Palace, the main island of Penghu. A group of sailors either landed to play or gambled on the bow of the boats, without any awareness of what happened. A disaster is approaching.But this is also normal. Everyone thought that Dongning had no room to resist in front of the [-] army, and the war was actually far away from him.

Just after noon, Dongshi's fort suddenly fired a warning gun. The Qing army didn't know why, and they were still watching. A group of plywood boats rushed into Niuxin Bay.The ships of the Qing army were all slow civilian ships, and half of the sailors were not on duty, so they couldn't escape. They were quickly named by the opponent one by one, and sank to the bottom of the sea in less than a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that there was no power left to resist on the side of Maniang Palace, the plywood boats headed separately to Jilongyu, Sijiaoyu and Xiyu. , only a few saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the fact that the opponent was pinned down by the home team, and turned to flee towards the mainland.

"Commander, the Knight, Flying Tiger, and Flying Ting have all sent signals, asking what should we do next?" The lookout post on the mainmast reported loudly. "Fei Ling also has a banner, requesting to attack Tongshan Siming, Fei Xing, Fei Xing proposed to visit Yao Qisheng, an old traitor, in Fuzhou."

"This bastard is addicted to playing." Maying cursed with a smile. "Ning Chaozhong is very big-hearted. Tell him, you have to do it by yourself." After the flag was raised, Maying could imagine the other party's frustration, so he issued another order the next moment. "Let's go to Tongshan first, then Siming"

Just as the spirited boy scouts were sailing towards the mainland, a small boat slowly approached the wharf of Beishanwei Port.Seeing a boat coming ashore, a group of Qing soldiers who had been abandoned by the officials immediately regained their spirits, but before they went up excitedly, they saw a few people dressed as Zheng Jun getting off the boat.The feeling of the sky falling and the earth falling enveloped them again. Fortunately, another military officer of the Qing army, who was dressed in a lion's suit, followed him ashore.

"My official is Lin Xian, the commander-in-chief of Haitan Town. Who is the chief, please come out and meet me." Lin Xiangao drank, but no one responded. "Don't be afraid. I came here to recruit everyone under the order of Zhang Zhang's eldest grandson. Our army has already been defeated, and the admiral has already killed himself. If we continue to resist, there will be neither food nor reinforcements here. I'm afraid there will only be a dead end." Lin Xian The sound echoed in the seemingly empty commercial port, over and over again. "Think about the giant ship just now. The whole army has been surrendered. What are you still holding on to? You should think more about your own life."

Under Lin Xian's hoarse greeting, a few generals from the Qing army finally came out. These people may have seen Lin Xian before, and they walked in front of him: "Master Lin, we are really defeated this time!" Yet?"

"If it's fake, will I surrender Zheng Jun? My family members are still in Fuzhou." Lin Xian smiled wryly, then asked for a knife from the opponent's hand, and waved his tail at the money rat behind his head. . "Leave your braids but not your hair, this thing is cumbersome now." He held up the braids in his hand and showed them around. In front of his shocking action, hundreds of Qing soldiers came out slowly, and their knives and guns fell to the ground. The sound became one. "Okay, come out," Lin Xian continued to persuade loudly, and at the same time asked in a low voice the first few bosses who came out. "Where is General Wu?"

"This bastard, he took Deputy Qi and left them and fled by boat." A general manager said coldly. "But it's a pity, after only a few miles of waterway to escape, he was caught by the sea, no, he was caught up by Zheng Jun's plywood boat and beaten into the sea."

Lin Xian took a breath, then shook his head: "Death has no place to die, I knew it would be better to stay on the island."

The surrender of the Qing army on North Shanwei Island marked the complete annihilation of the Qing army invading Taiwan. So far, except for a small number of Qing army scattered in the countryside and the Qing army prisoners of the Zhuluo rebellion to be wiped out, the whole Taiwan has quieted down. However, although the battle was won, the losses of Zheng Jun and the people of Dongning were not trivial.

If the losses in the First World War in Penghu are included, it is estimated that 3000 strong and strong men in Taiwan lost their lives, and there were more than [-] lightly and seriously wounded. It can be said that the backbone of the Zheng army in the past has been wiped out. The naval forces from the south of Japan to Luzon, Annan and other places are completely finished

The loss of property is also incalculable.First of all, the rice fields that had just been planted in the war zone were trampled by tens of thousands of feet. Before the expropriation, Dongning will have to live a long and difficult life; secondly, various export goods are piled up in the port due to lack of manpower and the blockade of the entire Taiwan port, which has caused great loss of commercial interests and commercial interests. Credit losses can be said to be equally expensive; and the gold and silver property brought out of the country by the fleeing civil and military officials and common people is also a hidden sum; plus the loss in the three-year drought, so there is no three to five years, Zheng Kezang Can't take it easy.

As for the organization of the paralyzed Ming and Zheng regimes, Zheng Kezang would have to start from scratch.

"There are more than 370 Qing troops captured and surrendered, and the number needs to be further counted." However, compared with the losses, Zheng Kezang's gains were not small, and the preliminary statistics made him elated. "There are 570 seven large and small cannon boats, bird boats, flying boats, two-sail boats and boats, two 420-jin iron cannons, seven 20-jin copper red cannons, and 4-jin copper cannons. There are four cannons in red clothes, about [-] cannons of different sizes and tiger crouching guns, about [-] bird guns, [-] bows, and [-] intact war horses and pack horses , [-] disabled war horses and pack horses, [-] collars of cotton armor, Mingguang armor, and fish scale armor, [-] barrels of gunpowder, about [-] catties, lead, arrowheads, gun heads, waist knives and other small weapons cannot be estimated. Chen Long also handed over a silver boat, which was loaded with rewards intended to be given to the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, a total of [-] taels, and he never took a single cent."

"4 taels." Zheng Kezang rubbed his hands, looking excited. "It's good news, but it's not enough to mend the hole, so let's hand it over to the treasury first." Zheng Kezang explained, and then he ordered. "Bronze cannons have been melted to make money, and iron cannons have been refurbished." These red cannons, tiger squatting cannons, and even bird guns did not meet Zheng Kezang's combat needs at all, so he decided to turn waste into treasure, and sold the ones that could be sold. , and those that are not suitable for transportation shall be destroyed on the spot. "The Frang machine gun is temporarily stored in the armory, and it is still useful." Zheng Kezang thought for a while. "Order all the shipyards to dismantle all the ships except for some ships that can be used for offshore transportation, and use them as material reserves. The wrecks of the Flying Eagle, Flying Dragon, Flying Star, and Sunshine are also treated in the same way. In addition, Chen Long It’s not a report, there are cannons and other supplies in the sunken ship of the Qing army, find a way to salvage them.”

Yu Ping responded one by one, and then Zheng Kezang looked at Lin Heng, the Secretary of Military Affairs: "Lin Qing must pay close attention to civil affairs. There are batches and batches, and the ones that are done will be announced first. I just think that someone will use my own. The credit comes to redeem relatives and friends."

Lin Heng was obedient, and listened to Zheng Kezang's continuation: "Lin Qing and Yu Qing, remember that military merit is the most fair thing. Once the morale of the soldiers is dampened in this matter, it may be difficult to recover by other means."

What is Zheng Kezang's subtext? The two naturally understand that the most important thing in troubled times is the military spirit. Once someone is mobilized to shake the foundation of his rule, it is self-evident what Zheng Kezang will do, so the two dare not neglect it. The voice responded: "Please don't worry about grandchildren, I will understand what to do."

"Just understand." Zheng Kezang didn't beat him on purpose, but just subconsciously. "By the way, Wang Jingong and Zhang Xueyao were transferred to Zuo Huwei and Zuo Wuwei, and the officers who joined the army division will be vacant. Is there anyone for the second minister to recommend?"

Lin Heng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zheng Kezang's gourd, so he naturally didn't dare to speak up: "The officer is an important minister of this vassal, and the minister dare not speak rashly."

"It's the same for the minister." Yu Ping knew that the higher he stood, the harder he fell, especially since he still controlled the internal spy system, so he couldn't easily recommend anything. "Also ask the grandchildren to be arbitrary."

"You are forcing me to be my husband." Zheng Kezang said with a half-smile. "Forget it, you go down first."

Not long after the two retired, Zheng Bin walked in under the guidance of his servant. He was the officer of the Department of Rituals, and what he reported was of course the thoughts of the Ming clan. Zheng Kezang finally chose the third plan for rewarding Enzhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin's three plans. For this reason, he also smiled and asked Zheng Bin to tell Mingshi: "Is Gu still young? What if one day there is nothing to seal?" Didn't you force Gu Mou to usurp the throne?"

Zheng Bin smiled apologetically but did not dare to speak up. At this moment, Zheng Kezang suddenly thought of something: "Uncle Seventeen (Zheng Xingying) resigned from office, so there will be no one to participate in politics. Hong Lei and Ke Ping this time His performance can be regarded as loyalty, so it can be praised, but the council is vacant again, Yang Ying is also a veteran, and this time he is also determined to die with the vassal, so he will be one of the members of the solitary preparation, which can be regarded as Comfort, for the rest, Zheng Qing has to share some of the burden for Gu."

Speaking of which, if Zheng Xingying hadn't been on top of him back then, Zheng Bin would have been a member of the council long ago, and this time it was just a matter of course, so Zheng Bin just agreed with a few words of humility: "Chen Tingzhang, Wu Hongji escaped Well, Fu Weilin died for treason, and Ke Ping and Yang Ying were promoted to participate in political affairs and council affairs. The Secretary can no longer be a concurrent officer, and there are still six official positions left by Qing, which means that there are currently six vacancies for the Secretary. Guo Kai from Wuchong Town, Huang Liangbi from Jianwei Zuo Town, Yan Gang from Rongqi Town, Chen Dunwen from the [-]rd Township from Rongqi, Xu Qing from Bisu Town, and Wu Qian from the [-]nd Township from Rongqi were transferred to fill in, but they were all They are in charge of military affairs, and they are still a little unfamiliar with the literature, so they need a good deputy from the Zhengshitang."

"Yes." Zheng Bin replied, and then asked. "Grandson, Mr. Guo Kai, they are all second-rank titles"

"Release them to the fourth rank, and each of them will increase their titles to appease." Zheng Kezang is determined to completely control the army, so it is naturally impossible to keep them in the army to get in the way. "This has to become a rule, civil to military, no promotion and no demotion, and martial arts to civil, then downgrade three ranks." Zheng Bin wrote down one by one. "In addition, the deputy generals, supervisors, supervisors, and assistant generals of the towns will also be transferred one after another. The Zhengshitang will find a way to give them a good position as much as possible."

When Zheng Kezang said this, Zheng Bin naturally knew what to do: "I understand."
