Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

"Dong Weng has been in quite a good mood these days." In a corner of Fujian Governor's Yamen, several Qing guests were listening to Yao Qisheng humming the tune of "Unconvincing the Old North and Crazy" by Yuyao Tune, shaking their heads and appreciating among the crowd When they were waiting, the two men hiding behind were talking softly about something.

"That's right. Seeing that Haini is about to be pacified, even if Dong Weng can't be named a Marquis or Prime Minister, his name will go down in history."

"Yes, yes, Jin Ou is perfect, but I think Dong Weng's libretto is not well chosen." The person who spoke first echoed a few times, and then lowered his voice. "I remember that the first line of this libretto is about sitting behind closed doors, misfortune comes from the sky, and the first line of Yu Chigong sung by Dong Weng is also about accidents and misfortunes. This is too bad luck."

"My brother is right, but there is something wrong with it." Yao Qisheng is from Yuyao, Zhejiang. The Muyou Qingke around him are naturally from Shaoxing. They are from the folks in the big hometown, and naturally they can exchange songs and help each other. "But the song itself says that the old man has great ambitions. Thinking about it, Dong Weng is still a little dissatisfied with Shi Lang's grabbing credit."

"That's right, it's the same story of victory, it's the kung fu of the front and rear feet, one won the Marquis, and the other was worshiping him Labulhafan (Note: Riding Captain) and Tuosha Lahafan (Note: Yunqiwei), Guangshi Lu Yinzi is three times worse, not to mention five grades worse, Dong Weng must be depressed."

"It's a pity, now that the river is clear and the sea is clear, and the unification of the world is imminent, even if Dong Weng is determined to cheer up, he may not have a chance." At this moment, the person next to him quietly interjected. "So, this is by no means a good mood, but a depression in my heart, with no place to vent, and it can only drag us down to play with things and lose our minds."

"That's the reason, but it's hard for us to say that." The second person hurriedly stopped. "It's better to be drunk today when you have wine."

The other two nodded, and at this moment, a military police officer rushed in from the outside, ignoring the presence of those many scorpions, and reported in a panic: "Zhatai, there is an urgent report from Penghu outside the gate, It is said that the sea rebellion used large plywood ships to make a surprise attack, and now the Penghu ships are all lost, and almost become isolated islands, please ask Taiwan to send ships to rescue."

The singing voice suddenly disappeared, and the three people who were talking to each other just now looked at me and I looked at you, and felt incredible for their words to come true. At this time, Yao Qisheng, whose interest was interrupted, asked rather angrily: " Listening to the wind is the rain, I would like to ask you, is this person really a Penghu garrison? How do you know that it is not the Hairen faction who are spreading rumors all the time."

"If you return to the army," Wu Xunbu, who is kneeling on one leg, actually has the rank of fifth rank, but he just looks like a slave in front of Yao Qisheng, who is the first rank, the governor of Fujian Province and the Minister of Jiabing. "This person is the capital of Min'an Town, and I have known him before. It should not be Hai Ni's death."

Yao Qisheng wanted to give Wu Xun a slap in the face, he couldn't hear such an obvious hint, he was as stupid as a pig, so he had no choice but to personally tell the Qing people next to him: "Although you are all township party members, what you just heard It must not be spread, if there are any rumors in Fuzhou City, don't blame me for disregarding the old friendship."

A group of clearers claimed it was true, so Yao Qisheng flicked his sleeves and ordered to Wu Xunbu: "Take people to the signing room!"

Soon, Du Si, who was in a mess, knelt in front of Yao Qisheng, but before he could report, another Goha reported outside the door: "Zhijun, Tongshan Town came to report, and counted again yesterday evening." Ten sea-reverse plywood ships broke into the inner ocean, and Tongshan Town was caught off guard. The wharf, shipyard, and barracks were all destroyed by the sea-reverse, and half of the [-] officers and soldiers were killed or injured.”

"Go and invite Wu Futai and Wanjunmen." The situation was more critical than expected, and Yao Qisheng didn't ask the governor alone. He only asked Wu Xingzuo and Wan Zhengse together when they arrived. "Remember, don't make a big deal out of it. It's good news that Shi Junmen has another victory."

The treacherous and cunning Yao Qisheng tricked Wu and Wan over here, and when they understood the truth, Wan Zhengse, who had served in the army for a long time, immediately judged: "It's broken, it's broken, Haini still has the power to harass Penghu and Tongshan, then The previous defeat in Penghu was just the bait, and Mr. Shi should be in danger this time."

"This official also thinks so. Hai Ni's move is very serious. It is not as simple as cutting off the army's back and food roads." Yao Qisheng agreed with Wan Zhengse's analysis, but he couldn't confirm the fact that it must be like this. With a glimmer of hope, he called in the two messengers together. "When you two talk about the situation at that time, let the one from Penghu talk first."

The envoys from Penghu and Tongshan reported, and when they finished speaking, Wu Xingzuo, who was listening attentively, suddenly asked: "It sounds like a group of sea rebels. There are wars first and then later. Why did the two places report at the same time? Condition?"

"Master Huifuyuan, I have seen Haini's plywood boat with my own eyes, and it is really as fast as a horse." Du Si from Penghu explained. "It's far from being comparable to the two-sail boat that the humble official sits on. It is estimated that the boat will take three minutes, and the other party will only need one."

The envoy of Tongshan nodded in agreement, but Wan Zheng's expression changed: "Bold, if you were as fast as a fierce horse, how did you escape? I think you must have fled first in fear of the enemy. At this moment, you dare to speak falsely and exaggerate the enemy's situation. Come here!" , dragged him down and cut him down, so as to correct the morale of the army."

Dusi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the three of them. Wu Xingzuo nodded, but Yao Qisheng shook his head, and then he asked, "You are from Penghu, do you know the latest news about Shijunmen?" ?”

Dusi knew that these few replies would affect his life, so he was a little trembling, but he knew very little, and perhaps he didn't know as much as Yao Qisheng: "Before I was ordered to ask for help, I only heard that Shi Junmen led troops on August [-]th. He entered the Luer Gate in the night of three days, and after that, there was no news of Shi Junmen."

"Take him down." Yao Qisheng ordered Goha outside the door. "Put it in the prison first, and then we'll talk about you." Yao Qisheng looked at the envoy of Tongshan. "Go down first, too."

The envoy of Tongshan was sweating profusely as he watched the group of Gohas dragging away the begging Dusi. He didn't dare to neglect, and then he bowed to the three of them and retreated. After the hall was cleared, Yao Qisheng said: "The news can be concealed." For a while, we can’t hide it for the rest of our lives, and I still think of the merit of him rushing back to report the letter, and spare his life.”

"It's okay to spare him, but how many of us can the emperor spare?" Wu Xingzuo smiled wryly. "Shi Lang must have had more trouble than good luck. If he dies, he doesn't have to bear any responsibilities, but how should we end now! This is really a disaster in a closed house. This time, it's a fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond."

Wu Xingzuo felt the same way. Yao Qisheng, who personally recommended Shi Lang, was burned. However, Wan Zhengse, who had always opposed the cross-sea conquest of Taiwan, looked calm: "Let's not say whether it will harm Chiyu, the Penghu defenders must hurry up. Find a way to withdraw it, otherwise this responsibility will really be ours."

"Withdraw? What do you use to withdraw?" Wu Xingzuo spread his hands. "What about the boats? All seagoing boats in Fujian were taken to Dongning by Shi Lang."

"Not only the sea-going ships of Fujian, but also 150 ships on secondment from Zhejiang and [-] ships from Guangdong. Now there are ten or eight ships in Xiamen and other places, and there is no need to think about the rest. It’s over.” Yao Qisheng was more pessimistic than Wu Xingzuo. "But since Hai Ni attacked Tongshan, he would definitely not let Jinsha go. Even if Hai Ni let Jinsha go, wouldn't it be possible to use a boat to fight Hai Ni's plywood boat?"

There was no way to advance and retreat, and there was no way to retreat. The three people in the hall were sitting on dry chairs. After a long time, Wu Xingzuo said: "Maybe the situation is not as bad as we imagined. Haini said that there are only a dozen counterfeit ships. The plywood boat may or may not be a rogue, but in a few days the army of Shijunmen will report back, and the dark clouds in the sky will disperse."

"It's true to say that, but if we knew about it a long time ago but didn't report it to the emperor, how can we count the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Wan Zhengse didn't want to follow Wu Xingzuo to hold on. "And how much grain is there in Penghu? Whether it can survive until the moment when Shi Junmen defeats Haini, these are all questions."

"What Wanjunmen said makes sense, Your Majesty, your Majesty's side." Yao Qisheng said with an extremely ugly expression on his face. "emperor"

"Master Yao, what's the matter with you?" Wu Xingzuo and Wan Zhengse realized that something was wrong with Yao Qisheng, and called out immediately. "Come here, Zhitai is not feeling well, please call a doctor for diagnosis and treatment."

After a period of turmoil, Wan Zhengse and Wu Xingzuo, who heard the doctor say that Yao Qisheng must rest, left the governor's office angrily. Before they left the gate, Wan Zhengse gritted his teeth and cursed: "Old fox! It's a good way to get rid of the golden cicada's shell, Mr. Wu, I am afraid that the responsibility will be entirely on you and me."

Of course, Wu Xingzuo also saw some clues, but he is a literati, and he doesn't say it naked like Wan Zhengse, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to betray others, so when he heard Wan Zhengse's words, he clasped his hands and asked : "Master Wan, how should you and my brother deal with the current situation."

"Excerpts must be submitted, even if you are reprimanded by the emperor for making false reports in the future." Wan Zhengse did not have good intentions when he said that. The responsibility will be reduced by half. "As for the Penghu defenders, it is estimated that Haini will not starve Penghu to death. It is impossible to withdraw the troops. It is still possible to send a few ships of food to sustain them after nightfall."

"That's the only way to go." Wu Xingzuo responded dejectedly. At this moment, another rider appeared in front of the governor's gate. "Where is the battle report again! Could it be that Jinsha was attacked?"
