Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong talked freely all night at that time and said goodbye.

In fact, the smiles on the faces of the two are hypocritical.

Because after this night of talking, the two understood in each other's hearts that the other party was not their own food, and the other party could not be used for their own purposes, and they could not become their own subordinates.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang are destined to be competing for interests in the future.

Therefore, this farewell is the "farewell".

When you say goodbye, you are no longer friends.

But Zheng Chenggong never imagined that his sailor would be defeated by Wu Zheng.

If the land battle was defeated, Zheng Chenggong would not be surprised, originally, the myth of the Northern Expeditionary Army's victory in a hundred battles had already spread all over the world.

What's more, Zheng Chenggong saw with his own eyes that Wu Zheng led the army thousands of miles to aid Longwu.

From the bottom of his heart, Zheng Chenggong really admired Wu Zheng's training results.

But naval battle is his own strength, he shouldn't be defeated, whether it is the experience of the sailors or the number of ships, he has overwhelmed Wu Zheng, but the result is still defeated, and even defeated in the hands of the little-known "pirates".

The moment he got the battle report, Zheng Chenggong was stunned.

Plundering a caravan led to such a humiliating defeat.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Although Zheng Chenggong's personality is feminine, he is young at this time, and there is no lack of decisive blood.

Immediately issued an order, gathered his own water division, and brazenly went north.

……。

Zheng Chenggong personally led the naval fleet to Xiamen to replenish and rest.

The old department of Zheng Zhiguan in Xiamen, which had been messed up, asked Zheng Chenggong to avenge their main general, Zheng Zhiguan.

But the question is who to take revenge on?

The pirate named "Wu De"?

Or Zheng Chenggong's brother Zheng Cai?

Or is it Wu Song's water master?

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who it is, just fight, and everything will be fine if you win!

Zheng Chenggong felt that the military heart was available.

So he gathered the sailors he brought and the remaining sailors in Xiamen, as well as the auxiliary fleet that was abandoned by Zheng Zhiguan in Taishan (at this time, he had already taken the three Wang Yilin who were captured in Taishan to leave behind the broken warships and soldiers and returned to Xiamen).

Seventy-one capital ships, more than 180 medium-sized warships, and nearly 300 ships of various kinds formed a huge fleet.

At this time, because Zheng Zhiguan died, Shi Lang, who was no longer in charge, appeared in front of Zheng Chenggong.

"Lord Wang, please lead a division to serve the prince."

Zheng Chenggong looked at Shi Lang gloomily, very entangled in his heart.

Shi Lang is a capable person, which Zheng Chenggong will never deny.

Originally, he also wanted to rely on the humerus, but Zheng Chenggong found that Shi Lang was a restless person.

This is a good thing to say, but it is ugly to say, that is, Shi Lang is a person with great ambitions, and he has a long backbone in the back of his head.

Zheng Chenggong is very disgusted with this kind of person.

In fact, it is inaccurate to say that he is disgusted, to be precise, Zheng Chenggong is very worried about Shi Lang and is very defensive.

As a superior, it doesn't matter whether your subordinates are strong or not, what matters is loyalty. This is what his father Zheng Zhilong said.

Zheng Chenggong thought so, he originally wanted to refuse, so that Shi Lang would not have time to take charge of the army again.

But I hesitated again, now is the time to employ people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Chenggong finally agreed, and ordered Shi Lang to lead a partial division to go with him.

However, when Shi Lang left happily, Zheng Chenggong immediately regretted it.

He immediately ordered that the ship assigned to Shi Lang was the auxiliary fleet left by Zheng Zhiguan.

……。

Shi Lang, who was excited, almost ran all the way to the dock.

But when he knew that Zheng Chenggong had allocated him an auxiliary fleet, it was like being poured on his head by a basin of ice water.

Shi Lang, who was not yet in the age of establishment, raised his head and sighed: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, why bother?!" ”

Disheartened, Shi Lang accepted the appointment and set out with Zheng Chenggong.

But Shi Lang's heart was already completely disappointed in Zheng Chenggong, no, to be precise, disappointed in the entire Zheng family's forces.

In his opinion, the Zheng family is all the way, whether it is Zheng Zhiguan or Zheng Chenggong.

……。

Zhang's suggestion is undoubtedly correct.

At this time, it is indeed possible to fight with the fleeing sailors, annihilate it, and complete the encirclement with the strength of the two sailors of Zhoushan and Wusong.

Even this naval division still has nearly fifty warships, but it is a lone army after all.

There was no assistance, no supplies, low morale, and Zheng Cai killed Zheng Zhiguan, but Zheng Cai himself became a prisoner.

Of course, they didn't know the news yet, thinking that the main general must have died in battle.

But the so-called rabbit is in a hurry and bites.

After all, this is the main fleet, and the guns on the ship are also cast in iron, and the solid bullets burst out of gunpowder can still pose a threat to the warship.

The cost of annihilating it is uncontrollable.

Therefore, annihilating it is not in the interests of Wu Zheng's forces, it is a subtraction, Zhoushan and Wusong Sailors subtract this Sailor Division, and the result must be that the strength of Zhoushan and Wusong Sailors is damaged.

Such a result is only beneficial to Zheng Chenggong.

Therefore, after appeasing Wang Yilin, Wu Zheng agreed to Zhang Mingzhen's suggestion, incorporated this water division, and promised to place it under Wang Yilin's command.

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Cai, accompanied by Wang Yilin, took a fast boat to the waters of Diaoyu Island.

After half a day of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement.

This naval division is independently established and placed under the command of Wang Yilin, and the personnel and equipment of all ships will not be cancelled, appointed or dismissed for three years.

At the same time, each sailor was rewarded with a hundred taels for the general and twenty taels for the soldiers, with the transfer of the battle ship.

And in the name of King Wu, he promised to take out the families of the soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong as much as possible, and properly settle them on the coast of eastern Zhejiang.

Wu Zheng agreed to this plan.

Compared with the transfer fee of less than 200,000 taels of warships, it is undoubtedly a big and small victory to be able to absorb this fleet without bloodshed.

In fact, there is no ideological opposition or contradiction between the two sides.

For these sailors and soldiers, they knew that they could not go back to Xiamen, and once they went back, they would be severely punished by Zheng Chenggong.

It's okay to say that it's defeated, but the key is that Zheng Zhiguan is dead.

was killed by Zheng Cai, in full view of everyone.

Whether they intentionally obey Zheng Cai or not, sometimes acquiescence is a betrayal.

Maybe he won't die, but his future is definitely over.

Of course, this is just their wishful thinking, and the real question is whether they can escape from the encirclement of Zhoushan and Wusong sailors.

The fleet of clippers sent by Zhang Mingzhen has been following them, and they know very well that they just can't reach these clippers, as long as they turn around, the clippers will quickly flee, and then if they don't pay attention, they will be bitten again.

Therefore, Zheng Cai's appearance actually made these people feel relieved.

Resignation!

Accepting one's fate is an excuse for oneself to convince oneself, to comfort oneself and to free oneself.
