Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The news that Liu Yinglin was willing to surrender the city to Zhu Jin spread to Quanzhou, and the Ming and Zheng parties immediately fell into controversy.Minister Ke Pingping objected to accepting Liu Yinglin on the grounds that accepting Tingzhou would lead to a renewed war with Geng Fan and force Geng Jingzhong to surrender to the Qing court as Chen Yonghua had foreseen. And we can't persuade Zhu Jin to accept Tingzhou on the grounds of disappointing these people.

Supporters and opponents were stubborn, and Zhu Jin was also hesitant. At this time, Feng Xifan suggested to test Geng Fan's reaction in the name of excuses.Geng Jingzhong was shocked when he received the letter, so he sent troops to guard Tingzhou.Seeing Geng Jingzhong dispatching troops, Liu Yinglin thought that his collusion with Zheng Jun had been exposed, so he led his troops to leave Tingzhou to attack Shicheng and Ruijin, hoping to ensure his own safety.

And Wu Shu, who was stationed in Zhili Prefecture, Longyan, was originally a general of Huang Fangdu. Although the seller Qiurong was awarded the post-admiral post by Zhu Jin, he was not a direct descendant of Zheng Jun after all. He originally wanted to make great contributions to his new master Seeing that Tingzhou was empty for a while with the idea of ​​preserving his official position, Wu Shu led his troops to seize it under Chen Shengwu's instruction.

But when Wu Shubing arrived under the capital city of Tingzhou, he found that Geng's army had already taken over the defense. Wu Shu, who regretted his risky action, was about to retreat. At this time, Liu Yinglin led his troops to join.Liu Yinglin saw that Wu Shu was worried about gain and loss, and knew that he was worried about being betrayed by Chen Shengwu, so he encouraged him to say that it is better to seize Tingzhou to try to make up for the crime after making a big mistake.

Wu Shu couldn't advance or retreat, so she decided to lead the two troops to attack Tingzhou.Liu Yinglin had been in Tingzhou for a long time, so with his assistance, Wu Shu captured Tingzhou in one fell swoop. Seeing that Tingzhou changed hands, the seven counties under Tingzhou except Changting also changed flags and surrendered one after another. As a result, the territory expanded by another prefecture, and Liu Yinglin was promoted to pre-supervisor and granted the title of Ming Bo for his meritorious service.

The change of hands in Tingzhou finally touched Geng Jingzhong's bottom line, and Geng Jingzhong's subordinates couldn't sit still. In order to ensure the safety and prosperity of their families, these generals secretly joined forces in an attempt to surrender to the Qing court and attract elites to Fujian.Geng Jingzhong might have been wary of this, so he took the lead in killing Wang Jin, Fan Chengmo, Xiao Zhen and other generals who wanted to rebel.

However, the collapse of Geng's army could not be changed. Geng Jingzhong intended to escape from the front line and return to Fuzhou, but he was threatened by captain Xu Wenyao and others at sea and became a prisoner.Geng Jingzhong had no choice but to send the former admiral Wang Jingong to Quanzhou for help, but Wang Jingong saw that Geng Fan was at the end of his rope, so he betrayed the Lord and asked for glory, expressing his willingness to lead Zheng Jun straight to Fuzhou.Wang Jingong's move hit it off with Chen Shengwu, and under Chen Shengwu's strong recommendation, Zhu Jin canonized Wang Jingong as Central Admiral Kuang Mingbo.Geng Jingzhong couldn't wait for Wang Jingong's reply for a long time, and the Qing army had already entered Fujian from Zhejiang at this time. As a last resort, Geng Jingzhong cut off his hair and welcomed Prince Kang into Fuzhou.

The development of the matter finally turned out to be as Chen Yonghua predicted, and Zhu Jin was also extremely embarrassed, and was very dissatisfied with Chen Shengwu who made his own way. Note: That is Putian) guard Ma Chenglong, Zhu Jin even wants to drive him back to Taiwan, but even so, Chen Shengwu's weight in Zhu Jin's mind has plummeted, but Feng Xifan has now improved to a higher level and has become Zhu Jin's most important Reliable military strategist

"What?" Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard Zheng Bin's return to Taiwan to ask Chen Yonghua for advice. "You mean, the last memorial was written by Fufu according to Qinshe's intention? Impossible, impossible, Qinshe is only so old, how could he have such a vision, Fufu must be joking."

"President Chen is the minister of Brother Wang's humerus, how dare he joke about such a big matter." Zheng Bin replied with a bow. "I didn't believe it at first, but I recalled that when Qin She was 12 years old, he was able to speak in the hall. Last year, he also made a proposal that was both true and false. I couldn't help but think that Qin She was gifted by heaven. Congratulations, Brother Wang."

"Congratulations?" Zhu Jin sullenly said. "Sometimes I like Wu Tao's military strategy, and then I'm immersed in learning how to make cement, and now I like shipbuilding. It's so uncertain, I'm so happy!" Of course, Zhu Jin is the same as all fathers. The deeper the responsibility, the more severe the responsibility. "It seems that he is looking for a bridle to calm him down."

"Brother Wang, do you want to marry Qinshe now?" Zheng Bin is from his own family, so of course he has nothing to say. "Chendi went back this time, but I heard that he had seen a few girls from Qinshe before and during the New Year's Day, and they didn't seem to be too satisfied."

"What do you want him to do with the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker?" Even so, Zhu Jin didn't want to discuss this topic again. "Since Fufu is Dai Qinshejin's words, have you asked this bastard what to do next?"

"My brother asked Mr. Chen to come forward to ask questions. I was afraid that Qin She would be scruples, so I didn't come forward. I just eavesdropped behind the screen." Zheng Bin replied with quite a sense of joy. "Qinshe made two suggestions at the time. The first is to concentrate all the troops and send powerful generals to attack Fuzhou immediately. Even if Fuzhou cannot be taken down, the Qing army should be blocked in the north of Wulong River so that it cannot easily go south. The second It is to quickly move troops northward to occupy Dinghai (note: not Zhoushan Dinghai, but Fujian Lianjiang Dinghai), so as to contain and defeat Geng Jingzhong's navy, so that it cannot threaten the flank of the army going north."

"It's just a common opinion." Zhu Jin seemed to be frowning because Zheng Kezang's answer was a bit too flat and unremarkable, but he also knew that this was probably the safest suggestion at the moment. "What else did Chinshe say?"

"The family members of the surrendered general should be sent to Dongning immediately," this is one of them. "It is also necessary to relocate all the boatmakers and fishermen from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Chaoshan and other places to Taiwan." This is the second. "If Fujian and Guangdong really can't find any manpower, please ask Mr. Yang Xian to go to Qiongzhou on behalf of Wang Shang to organize the transportation of sugar, rice, ironware, cloth, wood and human population."

"Good idea, we are already preparing for the way forward." Zhu Jin snorted displeasedly. "Does this bastard think that Gu will definitely lose the battle?" Even if Zheng Bin is his own family, he can't explain it well, so he can only let Zhu Jin play it alone, but Zhu Jin just cursed lightly and stopped , and what made Zheng Bin's eyes straightened even more was that Zhu Jin really listened to it. "Since the bastard boy was right, Gu will believe him once, and you go down and pass the order, and say it is Gu's intention."

Zheng Bin understood that Zhu Jin didn't want his subordinates to know that Zheng Kezang was behind this matter. Now that he had this understanding, he immediately leaned over and said, "No! Brother, I'm going to discuss with Uncle Wu (Zheng Xingying) now." what to do"

"My lord, you are taking my life." Zhu Jin's order was sent back to Taiwan, and Yang Xian came to the door with a grunt. "Isn't this old man just tampering with the shipyard? Later, it was not made up for the work and materials. The eldest son treats his ministers like this, and I am afraid that he will lose the benevolence and love of his heir, Yuanzi!"

"Master Yang, don't you think Yu is such an idiot?" Zheng Kezang knew that if he could hide his suggestion from others, he would not be able to hide it from the victim, so he didn't deny it, but said it sincerely. "Father uses troops in the mainland, which covers a large area, and there are still not enough talents in his hands. If he is transferred to Qiongzhou, I am afraid that there will be no one with enough grades, and he will not be relieved if the grades are not enough. After much deliberation, Yu Cai suggested to leave from Dongning. But Mr. Chen is responsible for staying behind, and I am afraid that he cannot leave, and only adults have the prestige and ability to preside over the overall situation of Qiongzhou."

This explanation sounds reasonable, but Yang Xian still persisted: "My lord, it's useless to speak nicely. I haven't led troops for a long time. The art of war and martial arts have long been abandoned. In addition, the bumpy roads in Shanghai and the tide in Qiongzhou It's hot, the old man's body will definitely not be able to bear it, for this matter, the eldest son can recommend whoever he wants to go, and the old man won't go anyway."

"Your Excellency doesn't want to go, and Mr. Chen can't go, so why not let Yu go?" Zheng Kezang looked at Yang Xian, who had a headache, and sighed bitterly. "If Yu Zai was two or three years older, there would be no need for Lord Yang to step in, and Yu would share his father's worries, but now, Lord Yang is an important minister who followed his grandfather in the early years, and he still looks forward to Lord Yang."

"My lord, don't say so much, the old man said just now that if he doesn't go, he won't go." Yang Xian interrupted Zheng Kezang. "Even if it comes down to Lord Guoxing, I won't go!"

"Master Yang really won't go?" Zheng Kezang's face gradually became gloomy looking at Yang Xian who insisted that he would not go, and his tone was somewhat disrespectful. "It's useless to tell Yu about Mr. Yang's words. According to the order of the father, Lord Yang should go and talk to the father."

"Big deal, I'm pretending to be sick!" Seeing Zheng Kezang's slumped face, Yang Xian burst out laughing, looking like you're still young when you're fighting with me, which made Zheng Kezang dumbfounded. "However, it's not impossible to want the old man to go, but the eldest son has to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"My husband has a granddaughter"

"Stop!" Zheng Kezang frowned. "Don't mention this condition again."

"The old man and granddaughter look like flowers and jade, why should the eldest son refuse without listening?"

Zheng Kezang was about to fight the case, when Chen Yonghua's voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Master Yang, why bother to tease the eldest son again."

It turned out that he was playing tricks on me, Zheng Kezang wanted to bite his teeth, but Yang Xian said: "Then change the condition."

In the autumn and September of this year, regardless of his old age, Yang Xian, a worker officer, led [-] soldiers to sail across the sea, pass Siming, Chaozhou, and Huizhou, and landed in Qiongzhou. The Qiongshan defenders surrendered after a little resistance. The counties of Le, Huitong, Chengmai, and Lingao are determined by the order.In view of the small number of his own warships, Yang Xian reined in his troops to stop attacking Danzhou, Yazhou and other prefectures and counties, and instead focused on gathering landless people and transporting corresponding supplies to Taiwan.

When Yang Xian went south to manage Qiongbei, Huang Ying, the general of Qibing Township, led Miao Zhixiu and other troops north to Dinghai. There were dozens of large and small ships in the army, and they fought and retreated. In the end, only a dozen warships escaped in the dark.After the victory, the Zheng Jun Navy immediately sailed northward, reaching the Yuhuan Islands, and pushed the water front to Zhejiang. However, due to the closure order of Yuhuan and other places, the population was sparse, and due to the problem of supplies, the Zheng Jun Navy stopped advancing. footsteps.

At the beginning of October, Yang De, the Shaowu guard who was subordinate to Geng Jingzhong, surrendered to the Zheng army, and Wu Shu immediately led the army into the village as an admiral. So far, the Zheng side of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the San Francisco rebellion to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy territories on the mainland. At most, this is also the limit of the expansion of Ming Zheng's power, and the ebb tide will follow immediately after the climax
