Chapter 112: Trade-offs (Second Update, Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Zheng Chenggong watched Zhang Youfang struggle, roll, and flutter in the iron pot.
From wailing and begging for mercy to incompetence and rage, to being silent.
Until Zhang Youfang turned into a puddle of rotten meat in the pot, Zheng Chenggongfang breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not a tyrannical person, but if he doesn't let out this evil breath for the soldiers who died tragically in Siming Mountain, he can't forgive himself!
"Big wood, it's all over."
Seeing Zheng Chenggong's state, Zhang Huangyan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"What about those captured Green Battalion soldiers?"
"Behead them all, pay tribute to the dead soldiers!"
Zheng Chenggong said without hesitation.
Zhang Huangyan nodded and did not persuade Zheng Chenggong.
First, he also knew that if he didn't kill these Qing soldiers, there would be great hidden dangers. If Lang Tingzuo sent troops to attack, they could rise out at any time.
Second, Zhang Huangyan also hated these traitors, and Zheng Chenggong just did what he wanted to do.
"At first, I thought that Yuyao was heavily guarded, and there were many green battalions nearby, so they could come to help at any time. But now it seems that Dongyu is also scattered inside. ”
After this battle, Zhang Huangyan had a new understanding of the combat strength of the Qing army.
Excluding those Eight Banner Soldiers and the Fudu Standard Battalion, the combat power of the rest of the Green Battalion soldiers is really average.
What's more, these green battalions are not subordinate to each other.
said that the green battalion soldiers of Ningbo Mansion did not come to the aid as soon as they saw that Yuyao was attacked.
This is indeed a point that the Ming army can take advantage of.
Even so, Zhang Huangyan still had no intention of guarding Yuyao.
Yuyao is not like Siming Mountain, which has terrain to rely on, and the loss of Yuyao by Lang Tingzuo can be described as a big sin, and he must try his best to redeem it.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the army, it is difficult to hold Yuyao on its own.
Besides, Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong's current foundation is in Zhoushan, and the troops they bring this time are also limited.
This time, they were more to avenge the fallen Ming army in Siming Mountain, and warned Lang Tingzomo to be arrogant.
For Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, they must hope for a period of peaceful development.
As the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing court, Lang Tingzuo naturally didn't want to give the Ming army this time, and was anxious to ask for merit and reward.
Zheng and Zhang's move is to tell Lang Tingzuo that they will either develop separately or the fish will die.
There is no third possibility.
At such times, we must be tough, not soft.
"This time Yuyao City is broken, Lang Tingzuo can't find our trouble, and he will definitely be angry with the people in the city."
Zheng Chenggong was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Cangshui, you might as well ask the people in the city if there is anyone willing to go to Shuangyu with us." If there is, we can take them away. ”
Zheng Chenggong really couldn't bear to see these people being bullied by the Dongyu, it just so happened that Shuangyu now also needs people to build, if these people are willing to follow them to Shuangyu, it is naturally excellent.
Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "I also have this intention." Damu can rest assured, I'll send someone to do it. ”
"Destroy the gates before you leave, and tell Lang Tingzo that we may be back at any time!"
It was crucial to maintain deterrence, and as long as Lang Tingzuo was afraid of the Ming army, he would not do whatever he wanted.
The advantage of the Ming army is that it is highly mobile, and Zheng Chenggong has made up his mind to give full play to this advantage to the end!

...
When Lang Tingzuo got the news of the fall of Yuyao, he was furious.
He finally recovered Nanjing, drove Zheng Chenggong back to the sea, and left the court and the emperor with the impression that he had made a contribution to turning the tide, but now he was completely ruined by Zhang Youfang's waste. Zhang Youfang doesn't care if he dies or not, Lang Tingzuo doesn't care at all, this guy is dying thousands of times, and thousands of times is not enough to atone for his sins.
Now what Lang Tingzuo needs to consider is the impeachment of the imperial history of the DPRK and China.
He could already imagine what countless pieces of music would look like when they were piled up in front of Emperor Shunzhi.
Will the emperor forgive him for his loss of land?
If the emperor blames him, will he be demoted, or will he simply dismiss the official and arrest him and bring him to Beijing for questioning?
Lang Tingzuo was very worried!
Lang Tingzuo is a Han man from Liaodong, although he has some advantages compared with the Han people who surrendered after the Qing army entered the customs, but his status is still much lower than that of the Manchurian bannermen.
He was able to achieve the position of the governor of Liangjiang, firstly because the emperor valued his trust, and secondly, because Lang Tingzuo was able to win the battle.
These green battalion soldiers were all extremely brave under his command, and some anti-Qing forces were suppressed as soon as they emerged.
It can be said that Lang Tingzuo is a dog used by Emperor Shunzhi. If it is easy to use, Emperor Shunzhi will naturally use it, but if it is not easy to use, Emperor Shunzhi can completely kick it away.
Although Lang Tingzuo also has some connections in the court, his background is not big enough to protect him without worry.
Once the imperial court saw the situation in the southeast clearly and thought that Lang Tingzuo was just in vain, then his career would be in danger.
Now what Lang Tingzuo has to do is to redeem it as much as possible, first to recover Yuyao, and then to personally write a letter to ask for guilt.
Lang Tingzuo immediately thought of Shi Lang.
Although the main purpose of the imperial court sending Shi Lang to the southeast was to let Shi Lang supervise the construction of naval warships, Lang Tingzuo found that Shi Lang's talent in commanding troops was also very good.
Just take this opportunity to see Shi Lang's condition, and also send him a favor.
After all, Lang Tingzuo will have to get along with Shi Lang for a long time in the future, and it is always right to get along with the relationship better.
said that after Lang Tingzuo found Shi Lang to explain the situation, Shi Lang was extremely shocked.
"The Ming thief actually drove straight into Yuyao City? It's so unscrupulous! ”
Lang Tingzuo smiled bitterly: "Zheng and Zhang are thieves who rely on their own ships and guns, and they can come and go freely, so they can wantonly provoke the imperial court. The governor is worried that the emperor will be furious when he finds out! ”
Shi Lang heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegance, and said in his heart that Lang Tingzuo was putting pressure on him, urging him to train the water master quickly.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I have been eating and living at the Longjiang Shipyard for the past few days. Now that the shipyard has built a lot of warships, it won't be long before our army's sailors can catch up with Zheng and Zhang. ”
Seeing Shi Lang's loyalty, Lang Tingzuo was very satisfied.
It's so comfortable to talk to smart people, you just have to click on it and the other person will understand what it means.
"The top priority now is to recover Yuyao as soon as possible. After thinking about it, Ben Du felt that General Shi was the most suitable candidate for the commander of the army, but I don't know what General Shi wanted? ”
Shi Lang looked surprised and said in a deep voice: "How can the last general, how can he be so important to the governor?" In that case, the Governor, in spite of his orders, will be willing to serve the dead! ”
Lang Tingzuo laughed and said: "If the subordinates under the command of this governor are all talents like General Shi, why worry about the two thieves of Zheng and Zhang will not be destroyed?" In this way, this governor will allocate 30,000 horses to you, and General Shi will immediately go to recover Yuyao, how about it? ”
Shi Lang was set up here, so it was naturally impossible to refuse, so he clenched his fists and said, "Get the order!" ”
In fact, Lang Tingzuo and Shi Lang knew very well in their hearts that it was impossible for the Ming army to stay in Yuyao for a long time, he just had to pretend to attack, and then kill some people afterwards.
