Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 741 King Lu and King Tang

He Zhaoxiong knew that Zhu Yousong had at least two information systems. The official information system was the memorials of relevant generals, and the informal information system was the pervasive Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi.

And the most accurate and timely are these informal systems.This allowed Zhu Yousong to obtain the information he wanted in a timely and accurate manner without leaving home, including of course the battles of the former enemy.To put it a bit exaggerated, Zhu Yousong is almost like watching a live broadcast.

Therefore, even if the relevant generals wanted to lie about their military exploits and deceive their superiors and subordinates, these Jin Yiwei would not dare. Therefore, the news that Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang won and the Dutch red-haired man was defeated must be absolutely true.

Seeing these eunuchs, concubines, and generals cheering for victory, His Majesty beamed with joy. He Zhaoxiong, the Iron-armed Canglong, was convinced, and the great eunuch Li Guofu really agreed. Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang, Yao Qisheng, Liu Guoxuan, Li Quan, and He Jinwu are all good guys. It seems that the younger generation is formidable!

The old man sighed and was also happy, and then he was full of energy and wanted to compete with Zhu Yousong in the water.

Zhu Yousong smiled, "Lao Qing's family, the martial arts competition can only be left for a later date, because now it's time for your third army to set off, to supply food, grass and military supplies to the first two armies in time, and to transport the 5 troops in time. When we get to the island, we must drive away those red-haired thieves this time and take back Taiwan."

"Your majesty respects the decree, please rest assured, the old minister has already prepared, please listen to the good news, the old minister will leave." He Zhaoxiong was excited like a child when he heard that he was going to lead the army and lead the team. After saluting Zhu Yousong, he took off his sailor clothes, turned around and left.

As soon as He Zhaoxiong left, someone came to report that the Shandong General Soldier led a group of food and grass supervisors to lead 3 horses to King Qin. Since Zhu Yousong's imperial camp was stationed in Nan'an Prefecture, this was the fifth group of soldiers and horses who came to King Qin.

Now the supplies such as food and grass for the soldiers are very sufficient. Excluding the two men of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and the tens of thousands of naval divisions who are fighting, there are more than 15 troops gathered in Nan'an Prefecture and the provinces that have come to Qin Wang.

Now that they are here, Zhu Yousong can't let them idle, and all of them are sent to let them deal with Lu Wang Zhu Yihai.

Zhu Yousong ensured the supply of grain and grass on the front line, the grain and salary were paid in a timely manner, and the rewards and punishments were clearly defined. He also personally sat in the town tens of miles away from the battlefield, so the morale of the army was very stable, and the morale of the Ming army was unprecedentedly high.

The navy was divided into three groups, and they became famous in the first battle at sea. They brought down the world-class naval fleet, and the arrogant Dutch colonists were driven to Taiwan.

The next step is to seize the island of Taiwan and completely drive out the Dutch colonial invaders.

Here Zheng Hongkui and Liu Wenxiu's naval divisions are not idle either. The two of them led more than 1 naval divisions and surrounded them from two directions. They launched a fierce attack on the Zheng Jiajun naval division in Fujian. Several states and counties in Lianjiang.

Don't worry that the navy won a big victory, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses were also very active. They pushed the front line forward, attacked the city and conquered the village, and they had joined forces in Fuzhou.The two armies on land with 20 horses trapped Zhu Yujian in Fuzhou.

In the area of ​​Fuzhou, the grass and trees are now full of soldiers, and they are besieged on all sides.The false emperor Zhu Yujian and his officials Huang Zongxi and Zheng Zhilong had a premonition that the end was coming. Zheng's army could not defeat Zhu Yousong's men, and even the mighty Dutch fleet was defeated.

Relying on the Dutch to intervene, it seems that there is no hope.Looking at his old neighbor Zhu Yihai to the east, he was even worse than them.

Now Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu in Hangzhou, was successively driven by the provinces of the Ming Dynasty. There were 20 Qin Kings from all walks of life. Without the support of Hou Xun, the King of Lu Zhu Yihai, the remaining 10 people were all mobs, so they were beaten by the Ming army. Desperately.

In the end, the king of Lu had no choice but to abandon the city of Hangzhou and planned to flee to the sea by boat, but before he escaped Hangzhou Bay, he was surrounded by a large number of Ming troops, and his soldiers surrendered one after another.

Zhu Yihai, king of Lu who had betrayed his relatives and had nowhere to go, finally covered his face with a long robe and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

Zheng Zhilong and Huang Zongxi saw that Fuzhou would definitely not be able to defend it. They kept Zhu Yujian and gave up Fuzhou, broke through the siege, and retreated to Pingtan Island to survive.

Zhu Yujian saw that neither Huang Zongxi nor Zheng Zhilong could protect him, nor could the Dutch colonists and King Zhu Yihai of Lu.This is really relying on mountains to fall, relying on water to run.

In desperation, he made up his mind to surrender. He took off the clothes of Emperor Longwu and put on the decoration of King Tang. He wanted to see his brother Zhu Yousong to accept the crime.

Now, Huang Zongxi is completely dumbfounded.This excellent radical fighter of the Donglin Party is now at the end of his talents and unable to do anything.

Only Zheng Zhilong was still unwilling to fail, he came to persuade Zhu Yujian, determined not to surrender.If Pingtan Island cannot be defended, they can retreat to the Penghu Islands.If it really fails, they can go into exile in Japan for political asylum in order to make a comeback.

Zhu Yujian shook his head in despair, "If you still regard me as king, you have made up your mind, and now I will die to show my will." He pulled out his sword and cut off a strand of his hair.

Zheng Zhilong saw that the general situation was over.He didn't kill the puppet Zhu Yujian either, but he didn't want him anymore. Instead, he took thousands of Zheng's navy and retreated to the Penghu Islands.

After Zheng Zhilong left, Zhu Yujian led Huang Zongxi and a group of two to 3000 people to abandon the island and surrender.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong occupied Fujian, took over Pingtan Island, tied up Zhu Yujian, Huang Zongxi and others, and reported victory to Zhu Yousong.And ask Zhu Yousong's will, how to deal with Zhu Yujian, Huang Zongxi and others?
While Zhu Yousong was happy, the treatment of Zhu Yujian, Huang Zongxi and others was different from the treatment of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang and others. In any case, they surrendered voluntarily.Zhu Yousong sent a decree to demote Zhu Yujian to the people, and built him a small courtyard in the capital for him to live in.

Even though he became a commoner without the prince, Zhu Yujian was still grateful, knowing that Zhu Yousong had shown him a kindness from heaven, and living in this courtyard until he died was considered a good death.

They didn't kill Huang Zongxi and Zhu Yousong. They knew that he was a big figure in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He was a thinker, classicist, astronomer, and historian. His value was all in his knowledge, so he was punished to face the wall and think three A month later, he was put into Donglin Academy, which is the Royal Academy of the daimyo, and let him continue to study.

Huang Zongxi repented of his previous mistakes and never asked about political affairs. Like other Donglin students, he devoted himself to research.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong led a fleet of several thousand naval divisions. After abandoning Pingtan Island, he planned to retreat to the Penghu Islands, because the Penghu Islands still had his army.

But halfway through the trip, he got a report that the Penghu Islands had been taken down by his son Zheng Chenggong, and all the Zheng family troops on the island had surrendered to the imperial court.

Being poached by his son, Zheng Zhi cursed angrily: "A rebellious son is not filial!...Go back to Japan!"
