Chapter 1144: Good Guy? Villain?
Wang Yilin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Just this, you dare to call it a credit?" Is the Yixing Dynasty in turmoil? Zheng Zhiguan is just delusional...... Uh, Zhenhai Hou, whose Zhenhai Hou? ”
Chen Quinoa shook his head and replied, "...... He didn't say it. At that time, I also thought that it was just drunken gibberish, and I would forget it if I heard it, but this time Zheng Zhiguan ordered me to lead a fleet to go to sea to plunder the caravan...... Homicide. ”
Wang Yilin's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if you rob the goods, why do you have to kill people?" ”
"I also wondered at the time that in the past, my sailors went to sea posing as pirates, and unless the merchant ships resisted fiercely, they would try not to harm human life...... So I asked. ”
"What did he say?"
"Zheng Zhiguan replied very vaguely, and only said, if this is not the case, why did King Yanping agree that my sailor would go north."
"What do you mean?" Wang Yilin was a little dizzy when he heard this, and his brain was not enough.
Chen Quinoa hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, my sailor knew that this time the merchant fleet came south under the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army as early as yesterday. ”
"Yes." Wang Yilin nodded.
"Zheng Zhiguan knew that it was a caravan under the Northern Expeditionary Army, but he still insisted on looting, and before leaving, he specially instructed me to kill people after looting."
“……。”
"Doesn't Lord Wu understand the truth of this?"
Wang Yilin gradually realized that Zheng Zhiguan was deliberately provoking the hatred between the Zheng family and Wu Zheng.
But Wang Yilin still couldn't figure it out for a while, what was this for?
The two are not connected by land, even if there is a conflict, it is only at sea, even if the Zheng family naval division is strong, it will not be able to land and fight, if it is really to land in eastern Zhejiang, at present, Zheng Chenggong is less than 100,000 people, even if he pours out his pocket, it is not enough for the Northern Expeditionary Army to fight.
Let's talk about it to be ugly, even if the Zhoushan and Wusong Second Water Divisions are defeated, they can also avoid Hangzhou Bay and block the Zheng Family Water Division with shore artillery, with Zheng Chenggong's experience, don't you understand that this will not work at all?
Since it is impossible for Zheng Chenggong to agree to war with Wu Zheng, why did Zheng Zhiguan insist on doing it? What's in it for him? …… Advantage?
Wang Yilin suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Chen Quinoa and said: "You said that about half a year ago, Zheng Zhiguan said that when the civil strife in the Yixing Dynasty broke out, it was the day when the Zheng family's sailors went north, and then he was the Marquis of Zhenhai?" ”
Chen Quinoa nodded silently.
Zhenhai Hou, this is obviously not what the Yongli Dynasty promised.
Zheng Chenggong had just been crowned the king of Yanping County a few years ago, and it would be very inappropriate to make his uncle the Marquis of Zhenhai again.
It's not that a family can't be crowned a prince at the same time.
It is Zheng Chenggong's title of the county king - Yanping, whose domain is in conflict with the title of the Marquis of Zhenhai.
Isn't this provoked civil strife in the Zheng family for no reason?
So, who else has the right to seal the title of Marquis of Zhenhai in Zheng Zhiguan?
Yixing Dynasty can, but will it?
Perhaps Zheng Chenggong will be attached to the Yixing Dynasty, and the Yixing Dynasty will be sealed.
But is it possible for Zheng Chenggong to belong to the Yixing Dynasty?
Absolutely not, unless the Yongli Dynasty perishes, no, even if the Yongli Dynasty falls, Zheng Chenggong will not belong to the Yixing Dynasty.
In fact, the reason is very simple, Zheng Chenggong was the minister of Longwu first, but after the fall of the Longwu Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong did not choose the Yixing Dynasty, but declared his allegiance to the Yongli Dynasty that was later than the Yixing Dynasty.
At that time, the Yixing Dynasty was strong, the Yongli Dynasty was small, if Zheng Chenggong chose to belong to the Yixing Dynasty, perhaps the strength of the Yixing Dynasty would be greater, but there is no doubt that Zheng Chenggong would be suppressed by Wu Zheng, which is simpler, Wu Zheng has been operating in the Yixing Dynasty for several years, plus has the title of general.
Even if the royal family of the Yixing Dynasty and Wu Zheng don't deal with each other very well, they won't say that Zheng Chenggong will depose Wu Zheng's general and let Zheng Chenggong go, right?
Therefore, no matter how strong Zheng Chenggong is, once he is attached to the Yixing Dynasty, he will be under Wu Zheng.
This is the key reason why Zheng Chenggong chose Yongli instead of Yixing Dynasty.
The reason is actually the same as Kong Ming did not choose the powerful Cao Cao, but Liu Bei, who had no place to stand.
Only by going the opposite way and turning decay into magic can Kong Ming's ability be demonstrated.
In fact, the original history is the same, Zheng Zhilong was enthroned as emperor by Zhu Yujian in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yujian was once a criminal sect in the high wall, lacking both his own team and not enough reputation, this congenital weakness made him unable to rely on the brothers Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, who advocated the establishment of Fujian real power.
After Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, he supported Zheng Zhilong as the Marquis of Pingyu, Zheng Hongkui as the Marquis of Dingyu, Zheng Zhibao as Cheng Jibo, and Zheng Cai as Yongshengbo, and the Zheng family accounted for almost half of the entire court.
After Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong followed his father's example, first served Longwu, Longwu Dynasty died, Zheng Chenggong as the surname of the country, what did he do, what battles did he fight, and what merits did he make?
It stands to reason that if he really has no selfish intentions and Longwu is dead, he should go directly to Yongli, but Zheng Chenggong didn't, he weighed it openly and secretly attached himself to Shaowu.
Shaowu (Longwu's own brother) died after only half a year of existence, what did Zheng Chenggong do at that time?
After recruiting troops in South Australia and the death of Shaowu, Zheng Chenggong swore to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the name of "loyalty and filial piety to recruit the general's crime and the surname of the country".
The funny thing is that this country surname is still Longwufeng.
And Shaowu died, he did not vote for Yongli, Longwu Dynasty died in 1646, the first year of Yongli was 1647 (Yongli was enthroned by the prison state in 1646, and the next year was changed to Yuan) He still did not vote, until the second year of Yongli, he did not vote.
This is a strange commodity to live in, waiting for the price to sell.
Sure enough, Yongli couldn't hold it and canonized Zheng Chenggong as the "King of Yanping County", so Zheng Chenggong immediately changed his flag and announced that he would change the name of Yongli to Zhengshuo, but in fact, there were more than 100,000 Qing troops between the two forces, and Zheng Chenggong still listened to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement, no, in fact, he didn't listen to the tune and didn't listen to the announcement.
Even in the end, Yongli Dynasty died, Zheng Chenggong did not send troops to the rescue, although it was far away, but his heart was also known to passers-by.
Wang Yilin roughly connected the things that Chen Quinoa confessed, and also guessed some of the facts.
That is, the Zheng family really has someone who collaborates with the enemy, at least Zheng Zhiguan can already confirm it.
Wang Yilin was shocked, what a big game this is!
Half a year ago, Zheng Zhiguan had secretly communicated with the Qing court, and had figured out that when the civil strife in the Yixing Dynasty broke out, it was the day when the Zheng family's sailors went north.
That is to say, Zheng Zhiguan knew that the Yixing Dynasty would be chaotic half a year ago, and in fact, the Yixing Dynasty was already chaotic enough this year, first the big war, and then the Qianzhuang fraud case, the outbreak of panic, even the emperor was changed, and Emperor Xun committed suicide.
At the time when Zheng Zhiguan said this, the big war in May and June had not yet broken out, and the son of Yixing was still Zhu Cihong.
How could this not make Wang Yilin frightened.
He frowned, his face frighteningly gloomy.
