Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 709 Outsmarting the Golden Gate

"No firing!"

Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan were not on the same ship at this time, but they answered exactly the same thing when they asked for instructions from their admirals.

The general of the artillery battalion of the Zheng family army thought that he would order to fire fiercely to sink and destroy the naval ships of the Ming army, but he did not expect to get such a reply.

Where are they completely puzzled, did they not understand?Or was their commander wrong?Or are they not clear enough to ask for instructions?

They had no choice but to ask for instructions again, but Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan still heard those words, and they didn't mishear them at all.

But the artillerymen of the Zheng family's ships were all forced, so what's the reason for not allowing them to fire?Are you waiting for shells from the wise?
Seeing that tomorrow's naval battleship is getting closer, the generals of Zheng's army asked for orders to fire again, and the answer they got was still "no fire"!
Some generals dared to ask the reason, and the answers they got were basically "this general advocates freely".

No one dared to disobey the military orders. Under Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan and others' sneering but complacent expressions, the navy ships of the Ming army had already sailed to a distance of 200 meters from them.

Not to mention cannons, bows and arrows can be fired.

However, the order Zheng Jiajun received was still the words "Do not fire".

The generals of the Zheng family's army didn't seem to recognize Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan. They said to themselves, my general, what kind of play is this?
But at this time, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan looked very contented and confident.

At this time, not only Zheng Jiajun on the naval fleet was anxious, but Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing on Xiaojinmen Island were also anxious.

They originally had high hopes for Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan, hoping that they would successfully repel the Ming army in a single battle, but the sound of the rumbling cannons was delayed.

Through the binoculars, they could see clearly that they had already entered the range of firepower. The two armies were about to meet. Why didn't the long-range firepower fire?Are the cannons on the ship dumb?

"Why didn't our army open fire?"

This is a question that Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing are eager to know.

However, the answers they got were surprisingly unanimous, "My lord, the general has an order not to fire."

The generals they talked about were of course Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan.

Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing are becoming more and more impatient. They don't know what kind of medicine Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan sell in their gourds. In a hurry, there is no other way.The command of the army on the island is now in the hands of Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan.

Zheng Jiajun's fleet didn't fire, and the Ming army who were so close didn't fire either. This was another puzzle for Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing.

How exactly is this played?The three of them couldn't understand at first.

What they don't understand at this time is not only the generals on the island, but also the Zheng family army on the ship. The cannons on both warships are not firing, and the bows and arrows are not shooting at each other. Could it be that they just rushed together and wrestled together?It's incredible.

They all looked at Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan with puzzled and strange eyes, but these three former enemy commander-in-chiefs were still calm, as if nothing had happened, and the Ming army fleet was so close to them, how could they still be so indifferent?
The Zheng family's army was all unbelievable. At this time, Zhu Yousong and his generals were all overjoyed. Of course they knew the reason, but after fighting for such a long time, they felt that today's battle was the most interesting. Open fire and approach the target infinitely.

If this goes on like this, the most unfavorable is of course the Zheng family army, because they have few people.The Ming army surrounded them and landed on the island. It can be said that these Zheng's troops were out of action, but they were all kept in the dark, so cute and silly.

Under Zheng Jiajun's eyes and whispers, the Ming army's naval fleet has already surrounded their thousands of naval fleets.

"Surrender, you are already surrounded. The Ming army treats the prisoners preferentially. If you resist in the corner, you can only die." The general on the Ming army ship shouted at them.

Now the distance between the two sides is about [-] meters, and the shouting can be heard clearly.

At this time, the generals of the Zheng family army on these ships all looked at the three chief generals.Seriously, what should I do now?The cannon is out of use, and the bow and arrow are still weak. My general, what trump card is there, but hurry up and use it?Do we have to wait until the warships of both sides are close together?

At this time, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan saw that they were about the same, and they all turned their faces away. Regardless of the Ming army in front, they looked at the Zheng Jiajun on the left and right.

Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan all said something that surprised Zheng Jiajun.

"Surrender, we are surrounded, those who know the current affairs are the heroes."

This time, the eight thousand Zheng family troops on one or two hundred ships were even more stupid.He didn't move a knife, didn't shoot a gun, didn't fire a cannon, and the chief general actually said such words?They heard it right, and as the commander-in-chief of the army on this occasion, they shouldn't be wrong.But……

At this time, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Guoxuan told the truth as soon as they saw that it was time to reveal the showdown.

Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong's opponents said that their uncles and nephews never surrendered to Emperor Longwu, nor did they intend to change their minds about their elder brother and father Zheng Zhilong. , The purpose is all here, if you are sensible, surrender quickly, you can still save your life, otherwise you can only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!
At this time, Liu Guoxuan told his soldiers that he had surrendered to Emperor Hongguang a long time ago, and that he came to Kinmen this time as an undercover agent. I was fooled. It was all a plan planned with His Majesty just now. My lord, His Majesty Hong Guang, has the virtue of being good at life, so he didn't shoot at you, otherwise you would have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago.Now there are only two paths in front of them, surrender to Daming, Emperor Hongguang treats the captives preferentially, and stubborn resistance can only lead to death without a place to die.

At this moment, all the generals of the thousands of Zheng's army suddenly realized, and they quarreled for a long time, so it was like this?But at this time there is no other way.The deal is done, the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, so most of them chose to surrender and become prisoners. A few who are not willing to give up are loyal to Emperor Longwu, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming and Zheng Xing, who want to show their loyalty At that time, as soon as he performed, he was beheaded on the spot by Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan and others.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Ming troops approached and boarded the ship, and the 8000 Zheng Jiajun was controlled in this way. Then Zhu Yousong's [-] navy sailed over unimpeded and began to land on the island.

Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing on the two islands felt that something was wrong at this time. Through the binoculars, they could see clearly the battlefield several miles away without gunpowder smoke and shouts of killing, and they were astonished. They don't need their subordinates to report, they will know that they have been fooled by Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and Liu Guoxuan, and now they regret it and can only order the cannons on the island to fire.
