Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian, Tong'an County, Kinmen Island.

Kinmen Island is located in the southwest sea area of Quanzhou Prefecture, isolated in the east sea of Xiamen Island, choking the throat of Xiamen Port, the barrier of southern Fujian, looking at Taiwan in the east and Xiamen in the west.

Because Kinmen sticks to the southeast Haikou of Fujian, it is named Kinmen because of the meaning of "solid as gold, Xiongzhen Haimen".

A defensive city was built on the island, and the Pingban fleet commanded by Zhu Chenggong was stationed here.

In the barracks, there were constant shouts of killing and training, and there were more than 20,000 people in the navy and army, who were constantly exercising every day, waiting for the order to go to sea to fight at any time.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zilong, the governor of Fujian, nodded secretly, and took a few entourages to the Chinese army, where he met with Zhu Chenggong, the general soldier of Pingfan, to discuss the matter of going to the sea to the east.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Chenggong was silently checking the nautical chart alone, and sometimes sketched a few times, and the nautical chart was already full of dense routes and annotations.

As soon as Chen Zilong entered the door, he began to praise: "The morale of our army is high, like a tiger and wolf, the surname of the country is worthy of following the Holy Northern Expedition, and he has a good way of governing the army!" ”

As soon as he saw him coming, Zhu Chenggong had a headache, and this guy would inevitably come to urge the troops again.

His face did not change, and he said with a smile: "Lord Chen has won the award, General Ben has only just taken over the Pingfan fleet for two months, and he has not yet trained the elite soldiers, and he said that it is the division of tigers and wolves, which has tormented me." ”

Chen Zilong smiled, and after sitting down, he began to get back to business after a few polite words: "Now that the baggage is sufficient and the morale is high, I don't know when the surname of the country will cross the sea to the east?" ”

When Zhu Chenggong heard this, his heart suddenly became unhappy, and he still said the same thing: "When it comes to fighting, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and if you don't have absolute certainty, you don't know the way to victory, how can you rush into the army?" ”

Chen Zilong laughed dryly and said, "I don't know what the country surnamed Ye said is the way to win?" ”

His tone was obviously unhappy, this battle was delayed, the army ate Fujian's food every day, and the local people who were already living in difficulty were under great pressure, as the governor of Fujian, how could Chen Zilong not be in a hurry?

Zhu Chenggong said disdainfully: "Naturally, we are waiting for the fighters, and the south wind is so strong that we will send troops again!" ”

Seeing his young age and such an attitude, Chen Zilong was a little angry at the moment, and said coldly: "I am a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Zhili, and I grew up by the sea since I was a child, and I know some wind directions. Could it be that he is secretly nostalgic for the Zheng family in the past? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Chenggong's face changed, stared at him and scolded: "Lord Chen, it's not you literati who can use the wind and the moon to fight, not all the wind can be used!" ”

"Going to sea to fight, there are many dangers, one careless will wipe out the whole army, float in the sea, and suffer national shame, what do you know!"

Zhu Chenggong said again: "The emperor's grace is vast, I, Zhu Chenggong, have been given the name of the Son of Heaven, and I have long had the idea of serving the country, and I vowed to fight this battle on the day I was ordered to fight this battle, and I will never act rashly, how dare I support the army and not advance, and raise the enemy for self-respect?" Please don't talk nonsense! ”

is young, but the anger is not small, Chen Zilong was really angry by the young man in front of him.

Chen Zilong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's will is clear, let me wait for the army to cross east as soon as possible, so as not to be absent from the army for a long time and delay the fighter plane, the south wind is not strong this year, so you have to wait for another year!" ”

Zhu Chenggong flipped over the table with one hand and said angrily: "Then how about I hand over the military power and let you lead the army to fight?" ”

Chen Zilong advocated the recovery of Dongfan, and went back and forth to raise food and wages for the army crossing the sea, although Zhu Chenggong admired him, but in terms of leading the army to fight, he did not let it at all, and even suppressed these civil servants.

A general soldier flipped the table on the spot in front of the governor, if it was placed in the past, it would be a crime, and I didn't dare to think about it!

Mo said that if he lifted the table in front of the governor and reprimanded, even in front of the prefect, he had to stand aside like a grandson.

Flip the table? Do you want to rebel?

Zhu Chenggong flipped the table on the spot, Chen Zilong was suddenly taken aback, he wanted to reprimand Zhu Chenggong, even if he had been a close minister of the Son of Heaven for a few years, he couldn't be so domineering!

Just wanted to reprimand, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the system that Emperor Tianwu had just set, the division of civil and military rule, and the military generals to control civilian officials in wartime......

Chen Zilong calmed down suddenly, according to the new system of the imperial court, he was only responsible for inspecting the military situation, and did not have the power to supervise the war.

If he really takes on the challenge of supervising the war, then he will act against the will and exceed his authority, and he will be the enemy of the world's military ministers, and he Chen Zilong can not afford to be guilty......

Thinking of this, Chen Zilong hugged his fists and said: "The surname of the country is serious, where does this official dare to overstep his authority and destroy the system, and if his words are not thoughtful, please ask Haihan." ”

In order to achieve a great cause, Chen Zilong had no choice but to compromise and not make a big deal about it.

Zhu Chenggong felt very relieved in his heart for so many days, and his face softened at the moment, and said: "Lord Chen's words are serious, everyone is a colleague, and they are all equal, and they all think the same in their hearts. ”

Zhu Chenggong was not disgusted with Chen Zilong, on the contrary, he still admired this Master Chen, who was good at farming.

When Chongzhen was fourteen years old, Zhu Chenggong toured south with today's son and met Chen Zilong in Zhejiang.

At that time, the Son of Heaven admired him very much, let him take charge of agricultural affairs, and also set up an agricultural university and an agricultural guidance group, which greatly increased the grain production of the provinces south of the Yangtze River, provided assistance for the Northern Expedition, and made great contributions to the country.

It's just that one yard is one yard, and Zhu Chenggong, who was born in a martial artist, doesn't like Wenchen to interfere in the war very much, and uses chicken feathers as a leader.

When the two were making their own polite apologies, the Chinese army came to report: "General! The sentinel came to report that the angel in the palace had gone to the island! ”

Hearing this, the two did not dare to slack off, and Zhu Chenggong hurriedly ordered: "Open the middle door and fire the cannon to welcome the angel!" ”

The army on Kinmen Island was ordered by the general army to gather on the school grounds.

Zhu Chenggong set up an incense case at the south gate of the camp, and personally led the generals out of the camp to greet him.

The one who came to announce the decree was Han San, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, who Zhu Cihong had spent ten taels of silver to buy, and was undercover by Chongzhen's side all the year round.

Since Chongzhen went south and became the Empress Taishang, Han San resumed his identity and joined the new dynasty as the eunuch of the new dynasty and became one of the eunuchs of Bingbi.

Because of this, the emperor lost his temper for several days, he didn't eat anything good, and he didn't trust Wang Zhixin and other confidants and eunuchs very much, and he became like to be alone.

After the routine greeting to Sheng'an, Han San held the holy decree in his hand, strode to the Zhongjun incense case, stood on the south side, and said: "Ping Fan General Zhu Chenggong received the order!" ”

Zhu Chenggong hurriedly stepped forward to salute and listen to the order: "Minister Zhu Chenggong respectfully listens to the holy oracle!" ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: I have already issued several edicts to suppress the Dongfan Hongyi......"

After listening to the beginning of the holy decree, the cold sweat on Zhu Chenggong's forehead broke out coldly.

He knew that the beginning of the decree would be worded differently depending on the content, as long as there were three kinds of "edicts, edicts, and edicts".

"Edict" is an edict to the world, all major political affairs must be announced to the subjects of the world, the use of "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict".

"System said" is used by the emperor to express the emperor's grace and declare the hundred officials, and all the holy decrees express the emperor's grace when they start with "Fengtian carriers, the emperor says".

When the emperor added officials to knighthood, he warned officials to guard against arrogance and rashness, make persistent efforts, and not be arrogant and complacent, pampered and arrogant.

This holy decree uses the "edict", which is obviously because the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with himself.

After finally listening, Zhu Chenggong hurriedly kowtowed: "Minister, thank you!" ”

Chen Zilong picked up Zhu Chenggong, and several people walked towards the camp.

Chen Zilong, as the governor, why did he lower his identity and pick up Zhu Chenggong?

Because Zhu Chenggong's legs are weak.

I heard that the Son of Heaven drove to Fujian on his southern tour, and the man surnamed Guo, who had just lifted the table majestically, was immediately instigated.

At this time, he was thinking about how to win Dongfan as quickly as possible, and before the Son of Heaven arrived in Fujian, he would do the errand beautifully.
