"

-------------- Min Hai Minutes

A series of failures made Ming Zheng gloomy, but Zheng Jun's failures continued.On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month in the 31st year of the Yongli calendar, the Qing army stormed Xinghua, and Zhao Desheng, the admiral of the Ming Zuo, died in battle. He Youzong, who was caught by the Qing army's countermeasures, watched the disastrous defeat of Zhao Desheng's troops, and then fought alone Abandon the city and flee.

Xinghua was lost, and the Qing army rushed to Quanzhou non-stop.At this time, most of Quanzhou's soldiers and horses were transferred to Xinghua, and there were few soldiers in the city and they were not prepared.Suddenly seeing the Qing army appearing at the foot of the city, there was an uproar immediately, and the garrison Lin Ding, a monk in makeup, fled. Zheng Junbiao general Lin Meng, Sansu camp general Xie Gui and others fought hard to defend, but were outnumbered and died on the front line of the city. Quanzhou Thus fell.

After Quanzhou fell in mid-February, the door of Zhangzhou was opened.Since the main force had been completely lost in the two battles of Wulongjiang and Xinghua, Zhu Jin's more than a thousand guards alone were unable to resist the steady stream of Qing troops. As a last resort, Zhu Jin decided to abandon Zhangzhou, Haicheng and other places and retreat. To Siming Prefecture.

The road to escape has always been bumpy, and seeing the miserable images of the crumbled army, Zhu Jin felt ashamed, thinking that he had occupied the land of the seven counties, and it collapsed like a bereaved dog in a blink of an eye. Dongning.Fortunately, the local people knelt down to persuade them to stay after hearing the news, and together with Wu Gui and other ministries of the Jiaozu camp gathered up the defeated troops from all sides, the crisis was temporarily turned to safety.

Now that he had settled down for the time being, Zhu Jin wanted to get back on his feet, so he executed Xue Jinsi for the crime of fleeing without a fight, and then punished Xu Yao a hundred times for his mishandling of the Wulongjiang battle and the crime of escaping first. Taking He You's general seal and letting him and Wu Shu, who had just been released, serve crimes and make meritorious deeds.

In addition, Zhu Jin also recalled that the poor performance of the new affiliated army had already been interrupted by Liu Jinzhong.The family members of Wang Jingong, Shen Rui, Zhang Xueyao and others had already moved to Haicheng, but this time they were transported directly to Dongning. Only Liu Yan sent troops to intercept the transport fleet at sea on the grounds of his mother's old illness, and then went north to surrender to the Qing army. .

Liu Yan's defection gave Feng Xifan an opportunity. He spoke to Zhu Jin and pointed out Chen Shengwu's several mistakes. Zhu Jin was annoyed at the incompetence of his subordinates.Chen Shengwu sadly returned to Taiwan, but Chen Yonghua was startled. After thinking about it, he again spoke to Zhu Jin and made Zheng Kezang the supervisor of the country.

Zhu Jin, who initially recognized Zheng Kezang's ability, agreed to Chen Yonghua's suggestion with a little hesitation this time. However, in order to appease Chen Yonghua, Zhu Jin did not order his removal from the post of Dongning Chief Envoy. The order told Zheng Kezang to follow Chen Yonghua to study government affairs, and everything should continue to be dominated by Chen Yonghua

"Qinshe, no, Jian Guo really looks good in this imperial python robe."

Several maids chattered good things in front of Chen Zhaoniang and Zheng Kezang, but although these words made Chen Zhaoniang, who had been ill for a long time, a bit of joy appeared on the face, they couldn't impress Zheng Kezang, who was frowning.

Looking at Chen Zhaoniang's thin face, Zheng Kezang felt sad. Although he did not have a very deep mother-child affection for Chen Zhaoniang in two generations, he naturally understood how Chen Zhaoniang treated him after spending so many years together. Reminiscing about her parents in the previous life, there was naturally a trace of reluctance in her tone: "Mother, do you want to be carried to the yard to bask in the sun?"

"Mother always goes out to bask in the sun." Chen Zhaoniang gently squeezed Zheng Kezang's hand. "Although you hid the mirror, mother knows how ugly she is now, so she doesn't need to be laughed at by others." These words made the maids cry. "My mother has been thinking about what Qinshe was like when she was a general, and she also wanted to see Qinshe get married and have children, but my mother's health is failing, and maybe she won't see that day."

"Mother, I can see it." Zheng Kezang's heart twitched. Similar words, his biological mother in the previous life also said to him on the sick bed. "Aunt's illness will definitely get better." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang's expression changed. "Mum, why don't my son write a letter to my father, let him make the decision to get married, and congratulate my mother."

Chen Zhaoniang was overjoyed, but her expression quickly dimmed: "Your father was defeated in mainland China, so don't let him be distracted."

Chen Zhaoniang's speech was extremely slow, as if these few short sentences had exhausted her great energy: "Besides, there is no reason for the new daughter-in-law to worship her aunt in front of the hospital bed. It would be bad luck."

Chen Zhaoniang's firm expression let Zheng Kezang know that she was not joking, just when Zheng Kezang was crying, Chen Zhaoniang asked again in a low voice: "By the way, Qinshe, which girl are you looking for? Grandmother is the master, I went to say hello first, so as not to delay you because of Grandmother's body in the future."

"Mum!" Zheng Kezang understood what Chen Zhaoniang's so-called delay meant. It was nothing more than not being able to get married or get engaged during the filial piety. Thinking that Chen Zhaoniang was still thinking about himself at this moment, Zheng Kezang quickly wiped the tears from his face. "Aunt said that," Zheng Kezang can only do now is to follow Chen Zhaoniang's mind. "It's just that the son doesn't like the girl yet, it's all up to the mother."

"You child," Chen Zhaoniang closed her eyes and almost made people think that she had fallen into a deep sleep. Just when Zheng Kezang signaled to summon the imperial physician, Chen Zhaoniang said slowly. "Master Chen's daughter is not bad, why not?"

"Okay, okay," Zheng Kezang responded repeatedly. "Son will arrange it right away, and mother can just rest easy and recuperate."

"As long as I can get along with you in the future, it will save me from complaining about my mother in the future."

After saying this sentence, which seemed like a last word, Chen Zhaoniang's body shrank as if she was not under a heavy load, and Zheng Kezang suddenly turned pale with shock: "The imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

"This bitch is finally dead!" Chen Zhaoniang's sad news came, but hysterical laughter came from Jinhua Courtyard. Tang Heniang, who felt that her husband's favor and son's status had been taken away by Chen Zhaoniang's mother and son, ignored her own serious illness. Regardless of her usual dignified and graceful demeanor, she jumped up from the bed. "The winner is the one who laughs last, Yu finally won!"

Seeing his mother's crazy performance, Zheng Keshuang, who was only nine years old, was so frightened that he hid behind the maid. Tang Heniang, who finally came to his senses, saw his son's frightened appearance, and slowly stretched out his hand: "Qin She, come to Grandma! Come here, Mom misses you, come on!"

How could the immature Zheng Keshuang dare to go to his mother? The more gentle Tang Heniang spoke, he was actually scared, so he suddenly turned his head and ran out of the house. Looking at his son's reaction, Tang Heniang's face was full of disappointment And puzzled: "What's the matter with Qin She, Yu is his mother, how could he treat Yu like this."

Seeing Tang Heniang's puzzled look, the maids hurriedly comforted them: "Ma'am, it's better to go back to bed and rest. The second son was just frightened by the lady for a while, little boy, he will be fine in a while, wait for the servant girl Just hug him."

"I was frightened. When did Yu become so frightened? He even scared his own flesh and blood to death." Tang Heniang stared at the maidservants lying on the ground begging for mercy with their wide eyes. "Are you hiding something?" Needless to say, a woman's intuition has always been keen. "Go, get the bronze mirror."

The maids nervously presented the mirror to Tang Heniang. Tang Heniang illuminated it by the candlelight. The beautiful woman in the past is now also skinny and sick. Tang Heniang threw the bronze mirror to the ground with all her strength. "No wonder, Yu is going to die, but Yu is not reconciled. Although he has won against that bitch, he has not taken back his position for Qin She. Yu is not reconciled, Yu is not reconciled!"

But it's useless not to be reconciled, as the so-called Hades wants you to die on the third watch, how can you keep people until the fifth watch.On the third day after Chen Zhaoniang passed away, Tang Heniang finally failed to stop the god of death from taking her life

In just three days, Zhu Jin's one wife and one concubine died one after another, and the peaceful city of Anping suddenly turned into a sea of ​​white. Many people thought of Ming Zheng's disastrous defeat on the mainland, and couldn't help worrying about Taiwan's future.

However, just as Dongning was talking about it, Zheng Kezang, dressed in hemp and filial piety, came to Tang Heniang's mourning hall.Looking at Zheng Keshuang, who was kneeling there drooling, apparently asleep, Zheng Kezang lovingly hugged him.A nine-year-old child is already very heavy. If it weren't for Zheng Kezang's daily physical exertion, he would hardly be able to hold this kid.

As if feeling the shaking of his body, Zheng Keshuang opened his eyes, saw that it was Zheng Kezang, and the child burst into tears: "Brother, my mother is dead, and my father is not coming back from the mainland, Qin She is the only one left gone."

Zheng Kezang held him in his arms: "Eldest brother's mother is also dead, and elder brother is only alone now, but elder brother is not alone, elder brother has Qin She, and Qin She also has elder brother, Yu and others will be together in the future. "

"No, Qin She will live with the old man from now on." An old voice sounded suddenly, Zheng Kezang looked back in surprise, and saw Dong Guotai, who was not supposed to be here, walking towards him. "Come on, Qin She, come to my aunt."

Zheng Keshuang raised his head and glanced at Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang thought for a while. He originally planned to control Zheng Keshuang in his own hands, but Dong Guotai's intervention made this plan impossible to carry out. In this case, he nodded. As soon as Zheng Keshuang saw that he agreed, he ran over and grabbed Dong Guotai's skirt.

"Qin She, since your father entrusted Dongning to you and Chen Fufu, you have a heavy responsibility, and Qin She is old enough to take care of it." Dong Guotai only explained at this time. "In addition, it is said in the canon that the emperor will observe filial piety on the 27th day of the court. Although the Zheng family can only give a surname, it can be regarded as the overlord of one side. You can observe filial piety for three months. Don't let this cause you to miss the official business!"

Zheng Kezang couldn't figure out what Dong Guotai meant for a moment, but subconsciously bowed and said, "No! Grandson knows what to do."
