Chapter 1170: The Smoke Clears
PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "denzi", "Yuanxing", and "White Horse Culture Inner Mongolia".
Of course, Zheng Chenggong really didn't know that Zheng Zhiguan carried him behind his back, took advantage of the convenience of trade to the north, and had a secret contact with Dolgon, and on Dolgon's orders, he wanted to take advantage of this raid to provoke the two sides to fight at sea, so as to form a deep enmity, and there was no possibility of unity, and finally achieve and resolve the risk that the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong is currently facing, the Zheng army and the Northern Expeditionary Army are facing the risk of being flanked by the north and south.
In fact, the Qing court was indeed very worried about the situation of the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong, with more than 100,000 troops, but it was sandwiched between the forces of Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong, whether it was to the south or to the north, they were afraid of being stabbed in the back.
As a result, the Qing army fell into an extremely embarrassing situation, because holding on to it requires the support of the people, which is what the Tartars lack the most.
The previous indulgence and massacre made the people already regard the Qing army as a snake and scorpion.
The Qing army stayed like this, and the morale was getting worse day by day, which was why Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua discussed how to deal with the Qing court's transfer of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's two departments to Guangdong again.
The Qing court had no choice but to increase troops in Guangdong to maintain and consolidate its de facto control over Fujian and Guangdong.
In this situation, if Dolgon is in good health, he must personally go south to command the situation to solve the dilemma.
But the body bones are not good, there are many generals available in the court, and Duoduo, who can be handsome, was cut off by Wu Zheng.
Originally, Zilharang could also be in charge, but when he was old and slippery, he stood on the opposite side of Dolgon, and Dolgon naturally couldn't take the initiative to put the butcher's knife into Zilharang's hand to cut off his own head.
Therefore, Dolgon can only lay out and provoke the contradiction between Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong, so that it can reach 100,000 troops.
Zheng Chenggong understood that what Chen Yonghua said was right, instead of fighting with Wu here and making Jieyang lost, it was better to lead the water division back to Chaoyang.
Therefore, after listening to Chen Yonghua's advice, Zheng Chenggong did not say a word.
It's throwing the pot.
If Zheng Chenggong himself ordered a truce and peace talks, then this face would be thrown on the ground by himself for others to trample on.
Only if the praiser takes a step and is silent and does not object, this matter is the blame of the praiser.
Chen Yonghua naturally understands this truth, as a staff member, he was originally responsible for the master.
With this consciousness, Chen Yonghua bowed down and said: "If the prince does not object, Yonghua is willing to go to Wu Wang Shui to explain the misunderstanding, so that the two sides can rebuild and deal with the Fujian, Guangdong and Qing armies together." ”
Zheng Chenggong was still silent, but looked at Chen Yonghua's gaze and became gentle.
Chen Yonghua saw that Zheng Chenggong was not right, so he slowly retreated to the outside of the hatch, then transferred a fast boat, planted a white flag, and sailed quickly in the direction of Wusong Sailor.
……。
An inverted trapezoidal face with a cheeky face.
The apprehensive eyes still showed a trace of stubbornness.
This is a man who does not admit defeat.
Wu Zheng looked at Shi Lang in front of him, and was full of emotion in his heart.
When he knew that the demote would be Shi Lang, Wu Zheng was really surprised, in history, Shi Lang killed the old general of the Zheng family, Zeng De, and was condemned as a rebel by Zheng Chenggong, so he slaughtered Shi Lang's entire family.
Shi Lang was furious and descended to the Qing Dynasty and became a gravedigger of the Zheng family.
History has made a final conclusion on the coffin, and evaluated Shi Lang as "rude and martial arts, unlearned, shallow in measurement, and arrogant in meritorious service".
But Wu Zheng's cognition is different, in history, it is because Shi Lang finally descended to the Qing Dynasty, broke through the Dongfan, and became the terminator of the last piece of paradise for those who cherish the old Ming, and Zheng Chenggong is righteous, so whoever is against Zheng Chenggong is a sinner.
In fact, before the Qing Dynasty, Shi Lang was just a hot-blooded young man, and his battle against the Qing army was also remarkable.
Zheng Chenggong was not big enough to provide Shi Lang with a platform to display his talents, which caused Shi Lang's psychological depression, so there was a matter of killing Zeng De, which was a kind of revenge for Zheng Chenggong who had been deliberately suppressing him.
In history, the occurrence of the Zeng De incident was not accidental, but inevitable.
Zeng De was Zheng Zhilong's general, and after Zheng Lao Shenlong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he voted for Zheng Chenggong, but he was unlucky and happened to be controlled by Shi Lang.
And Shi Lang confronted Zheng Chenggong several times, Zheng Chenggong was tired of Shi Lang, so he ordered Shi Lang to recruit another army to form a forward battalion, in fact, it was dethroned and exiled in disguise.
Zeng De was a slippery person who was unhappy under Shi Lang, so he took advantage of Shi Lang's success to be "exiled" and sneaked away.
But sneaking away will become a deserter, and since Zeng De is a slippery person, he naturally thought of a countermeasure.
After he slipped away, relying on the fact that he was the old department of the Zheng family, he directly entered Zheng Chenggong's personal guard.
When Shi Lang heard the news, he was very indignant, sent someone to arrest Zeng De, and ordered him to be beheaded in three days.
And since Zeng De is the old department of the Zheng family, he naturally has a few old friends in the army, and he went to report Zheng Chenggong overnight.
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he was furious, how could his subordinates kill the old department without reporting to the master?
So, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to send an urgent order, ordering Shi Lang not to kill.
But at this time, Shi Lang blatantly ignored Zheng Chenggong's order, and directly killed Zeng De.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong went down the stairs, and he immediately announced that Shi Lang's antiform had been revealed, and secretly ordered the army to aid the right town of Huangshan, and arrested Shi Lang's brother Shi Xian in the name of discussing the military opportunity.
At the same time, he ordered Huang Ting, the vanguard of the right, to lead the soldiers to surround Shi Lang's residence and arrest Shi Lang and his father Shi Daxuan.
After Shi Lang was arrested, he fled to the Qing-occupied area with the help of some cronies.
After Zheng Chenggong learned that Shi Lang had fled into the Qing occupied area, he was furious and immediately beheaded Shi Daxuan and Shi Xian.
When Shi Lang learned the news that his father and younger brother were killed, he naturally hated Zheng Chenggong to the core, and since then he has been desperate to join the Qing court and become an enemy of the Zheng family.
This is the ins and outs of Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang's grievances.
Before this, Shi Lang had no other fault except for confronting Zheng Chenggong, and he had made many military exploits, especially Shi Lang fought very beautifully in the battle in Xiamen not long ago to resist the sudden attack of a Qing army's partial division.
In the face of hundreds of Qing troops, Zheng Zhiguan had 3,000 defenders in the city at that time, but he closed his door for fear of war and allowed the Qing army to plunder the people outside the city.
Shi Lang was snubbed by Zheng Chenggong at that time, and sent to Xiamen, with less than 100 men, but he learned that Zheng Zhiguan was passive and sluggish, and he led his subordinates to attack brazenly, and in the face of hundreds of Qing troops, Shi Lang led his troops to fight bravely, and finally won.
This kind of military exploits, no matter which force it is in, will be rewarded heavily, even if it is not promoted, then it must be rewarded lavishly.
But Zheng Chenggong was wary of Shi Lang's arrogance and domineering, and only rewarded 200 taels of silver.
This reward is only given to Shi Lang alone, and it seems thin, not to mention that it is given to Shi Lang and all his subordinates, and the average score for each person is more than two taels.
Just ask, who can accept this kind of injustice from the boss?
Therefore, it is precisely because of his understanding of Zheng Chenggong's personality that Wu Zheng has a different view of Shi Lang.
