Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 259 Zheng Zhilong meets the Qing envoy again

Since the end of last year, Zheng Chenggong and Wang Wei launched a mutiny and attacked Zheng Zhilong's Pingguo Gong's mansion. After Zheng Zhilong fled Fujing in a hurry, he has been staying in Anping City, Zheng's hometown.

Although Zheng Zhilong gathered troops and horses in Anping, he had no intention of returning to Fujing. Seeing this, the Longwu court quickly issued an edict to appease him, added several officials and nobles of Zheng's juniors, and made Zheng Zhilong the grand master. Hope to stabilize Zheng Zhilong.

In March and April, the news of Wang Yan's repeated battles with the Qing soldiers in Huguang spread to central Fujian. The incident of Luo Tunqi shocked the whole world, and Zheng Zhilong, who had originally decided to surrender, couldn't help hesitating.

Zheng Zhilong vacillated between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He neither fell to the Qing court nor returned to Fujing to participate in the court situation. Instead, he was stationed in Anping, supporting his own self-respect, and watching the current situation.

When the time came to June, the Qing army wiped out the Ming army in eastern Zhejiang, and the Lu Jianguo entered the sea, and the situation changed again. Zheng Zhilong saw the Qing army's soldiers pressing down on the border, and the balance in his heart tilted accordingly, and he contacted the Qing court again.

In Anping City, Huang Xiyin, the right servant of the Qing court's military department sent by Boluo, brought his entourage Su Zhonggui into Fujian again to negotiate terms with Zheng Zhilong.

In the study room, Zheng Zhilong talked with the fat-headed and big-eared envoy again. Huang Xiyin smiled all over his face, making the small mung bean eyes completely squeezed into a thin line by the fat on his face.

At this time, he cupped his hands and bowed, and said with a smile: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I, Huang, came here uninvited~haha~"

The smile on Huang Xiyin's face was full of complacency. If he begged Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty when he met Zheng Zhilong for the first time, then this meeting was him giving Zheng Zhilong a chance to serve Daqing. The Qing Dynasty served.

Zheng Zhilong keenly felt the change in Huang Xiyin's attitude, which made him unhappy for a while, and his face froze immediately, but only for a moment, he laughed and bowed back: "Brother Xiyin, Mr. Zheng welcomes you!" It's the best~"

The two of them sat down after being polite, and Huang Xiyin said leisurely: "I don't think there's much need to say more about Huang's intention to come here~ How do you think about the conditions proposed by me, Brother Yiguan?"

Hearing the words, Zheng Zhilong hesitated for a while and said: "This~ other conditions are easy to talk about, but the matter of capturing Emperor Longwu alive may not work. Brother Xiyin should also know that Fujing City is now in the hands of the rebellious son Zheng Sen and the general Wang Yuanzhang left behind by Wang Yan , I'm afraid it won't be easy~"

"Brother Yiguan, the Qing Dynasty granted you Governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and named you King Anping. Brother Yiguan, isn't he going to do his part for the Qing Dynasty?" Huang Xiyin said angrily.

Zheng Zhilong looked embarrassed when he saw this, "Brother Xiyin misunderstood, since someone Zheng decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, how could he not serve the regent? It's just that there are still more than 2 soldiers in Fujing City loyal to Emperor Longwu. If someone attacks with his troops, although the soldiers under him obey my orders, they will inevitably complain."

Hearing the words, Huang Xiyin gave Zheng Zhilong a cold look, "What is the official brother going to do? If there is no credit, Huang can't guarantee that the official brother can still be the king of the county~"

Zheng Zhilong's expression changed when he heard the words, and he quickly said: "Brother Xiyin, I know that Baylor's soldiers and horses have already stationed outside Xianxia Pass, but mountains and rivers are blocking them, and Xiongguan is in power, so they can't be crossed. Then I will withdraw the troops stationed everywhere and enlarge the army to enter Fujian , and then told all the prefectures and states to prepare food and grass to welcome Baylor's army. What do you think, Brother Xiyin?"

"Brother Yiguan means to enlarge the Qing soldiers to enter Xianxia Pass, and let Lord Baylor lead the troops straight into Fujing to capture Longwu?" After hearing this, Huang Xiyin couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Exactly!" Zheng Zhilong nodded.

At this time, outside the study, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Zhilong couldn't help frowning when he heard it. He had already ordered him to go down. He had important matters to discuss with the distinguished guests. No one should disturb him. How could anyone dare to disturb him?

"Who is it?" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help asking angrily.

It was Zheng Zhibao who knocked on the door. Hearing the voice, he immediately replied eagerly: "Brother, it's me. Something is wrong~ Emperor Longwu is going to move to Huguang~"

In the study, Zheng Zhilong and Huang Xiyin couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the words, and hurriedly let Zheng Zhibao in to explain what happened clearly.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong's spies in the court passed back all the decisions of the Longwu court.

Huang Xiyin's face sank after hearing this, and he quickly said to the Zheng brothers: "Brother Yiguan, Emperor Longwu must not be allowed to leave Fujian, you should quickly think of a way."

Zheng Zhilong was very unhappy when he heard Huang Xiyin's tone of order, but he had to agree with Huang Xiyin's words at this time, and he must not let Emperor Longwu leave Fujing.

Emperor Longwu hated Zheng Zhilong deeply, and Zheng Zhilong knew this better than anyone else. If Emperor Longwu fled to Huguang, if with the help of Wang Yan, Daming was revitalized, Zheng Zhilong would definitely be the first to be killed.

And once Longwudi left Fujian, the possibility of Zheng Zhilong swaying between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing court, and raising prices on the ground, would be gone immediately, and he would only have to go all the way to Jiangqing.

"Brother Xiyin, don't worry, Emperor Longwu can't leave Fujing~" Zheng Zhilong said with a serious face: "Zheng will send a fast horse to announce all the gates to block Emperor Longwu in Fujian."

Huang Xiyin heard the words, but he was not at ease and said: "Emperor Longwu is the Son of Heaven, he wants to pass the test, he wants to break through, can your subordinates stop it?"

After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help pondering for a while, "This~ Then I will ask the ministers of the court and China to jointly oppose the transfer~"

Huang Xiyin shook his head gloomyly, and then suddenly said with a sinister smile: "Huang has come up with a wonderful idea."

On June [-]th, Emperor Longwu stayed in Zheng Chenggong to guard Fujing, and he took more than [-] confidant ministers including Zuo Maodi, as well as the palace family members such as Empress Zeng, and ordered the general Wang Wei to lead the five thousand loyal camp guards to drive the soldiers who personally conquered. In name, leave Fujian and enter Jiangxi.

In the early morning, Wang Wei led his soldiers and horses, picked up the emperor and Empress Zeng from the palace, and was about to leave the city. However, the streets of Fujing were full of gentry and ordinary people kneeling on both sides.

Outside the city, there were scholars and villagers from Mingde, Nanping, and Putian. They gathered outside the city gate. Emperor Longwu, Zuo Maodi and others saw this, and their faces changed suddenly.

In Ruoda's Fujing City, there are countless people gathered, but there is no sound, and the quietness makes people panic.

Seeing this, Emperor Longwu sighed in his heart, "What do you guys mean?"

Among the common people, a villager with white beard and hair suddenly cried, "Your Majesty, you can't leave the Fujianese behind!"
