Chapter 236: Domineering (I)
Zuo Xianfeng Town was originally the elite of the Chinese army originated from Zheng Zhilong, followed Li Chengdong into Guangdong, destroyed the Shaowu Dynasty, expelled the Yongli Dynasty, suppressed Zhang Jiayu Chen Zizhuang and raised troops, fought for many years, once the door was changed, it immediately became the most elite army in Zheng Chenggong's department.
However, the influence of the Shi family in this army is extremely huge. In history, Zheng Chenggong attacked Chaozhou, Zuo Xianfeng Town repeatedly made military exploits, and the most critical battle to seize the capital city of Chaozhou, Zheng Chenggong, who had always been obedient to Shi Lang's words, adopted the advice of Chen Bin, a native of Chaozhou, and did not adopt Shi Lang's. As a result, Shi Lang disobeyed the yang and yin when performing the tasks assigned to him, and attacked the Guangji Bridge for three days, and exhausted all the sharp energy accumulated by the Ming army's successful ambush of Hao Shangjiu, which directly led to Zheng Chenggong's troops in Chaozhou City for several months and returned in vain.
The Chaozhou Bridge incident was Shi Lang's selfish use, using his influence on Zuo Xianfeng Town to persuade other generals to establish his transcendent position above 10,000 people under Zheng Chenggong's command. This army can be said to be equivalent to the Shi family army within the Ming army under Zheng Chenggong!
However, it is one thing to have a huge influence, this army is Zheng Zhilong's legacy, they obey Zheng Chenggong as the commander, and Zheng Chenggong's influence is constantly infiltrating it.
At this moment, the Huang Ting mentioned by the Shi family brothers was originally a Fujian general who entered Guangdong with Shi Fu, and he came with the Shi family all the way and became closer to the Shi family. But in the past few years, Zheng Chenggong has vigorously promoted and given him responsibilities at every turn, plus Shi Lang bullied the crowd to ignore his relatives, and like that Hong Xishan, he gradually drifted away from the Shi family. The influence of the Shi family in the aid of Zuozhen, which was also composed of the Guangdong and Fujian army, gradually declined, and it was not until Shi Xian took over as the chief military officer of the aid and suppression of Zuozhen that it gradually recovered, but the influence of Huang Ting and even Zheng Chenggong was still huge, so that the aid and suppression of Zuozhen could not obey Shi Jia's words like Zuo Pioneer Town.
"Brother, Su Mao is more than Huang Ting, but our Shi family pulled it up. On weekdays, he is more obedient than Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others, so it's not like that. ”
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, back then, under the command of a certain person with the same national surname, Huang Ting and Hong Xishan, the two guys were not the same, did they hug our Shi family tightly. And now? ”
For a character like Shi Lang, who thinks highly of himself and can't tolerate people, he will not feel that it is his repeated bullying and contempt that push Huang Ting further and further, but only that it is caused by Huang Ting's ingratitude and greed for power. Thinking so in his heart, he said the same thing on his lips, and even with Shi Xian. After all, they are the real brothers.
In this way, this matter really cannot be delayed any longer. However, brother, the key to this matter is probably still in the national surname, not that Su Mao. ”
"I know, now that Chen Kai is losing power, we need to put some pressure on the surname of the country so that he can hear our voice."

"Shi Lang wants to shave his hair and become a monk?"
Before the case, Zheng Chenggong frowned and listened to Hong Xu's report. According to Hong Xu's description, last night the Shi brothers asked him to have a banquet, and Shi Lang complained a little during the banquet, mentioning such as not being able to lead the troops to fight, it is better to shave the Buddha and ask for an afterlife.
The speaker seems to be unintentional, but characters like Hong Xu are better than monkeys if they don't stick to their hair, how can they not hear what they mean. Early this morning, he hurriedly reported to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong could understand the meaning of these words, which was nothing more than that King Qin's matter had come to an end, and he had also made great achievements in the first battle in Xiamen, but Zheng Chenggong did not restore his military power, and he just played a little temper.
Speaking of which, Su Mao was just in charge of Zuo Pioneer Town, and he was not really promoted to the chief military officer, but Zheng Chenggong weighed it carefully for a long time, but he still did not give an order to restore the chief military officer of Shi Langzuo Pioneer Town, but wrote another letter and sent someone to send it.
"By the way, can the source of those rumors on the island be found?"
Zheng Chenggong asked about the rumors about Chen Kai's entry into the court, but Hong Xu shook his head and said that it was not very clear now: "Most of the people who spread the rumors are the children of the Zheng family, and most of them are happy to see the jokes." It seems that even the son of Dingguo Gong is very dissatisfied with Jingcheng......"
"This gentleman!"
Speaking of which, Zheng Zhaoji was given the surname earlier than Zheng Chenggong, but not only did Zheng Hongkui not pay attention to his son, but he valued Zheng Chenggong's nephew, even Emperor Longwu once he saw Zheng Chenggong, he issued a sigh of "I regret that there is no one with a daughter", and then he was given a surname, and he was given a name, and he was also treated with the same as the captain of the horse.
In these years, Zheng Chenggong fought bloody battles along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, while Zheng Zhaoji claimed to be his grandmother, but in fact, he was a merry township in Anping Town, unwilling to go to Kinmen Island to endure hardships. Between the two, the judgment was made.
"Leave him alone, it's just that he was praised by those children and didn't know what to do."
………………
"Zhongquan Town?"
This is a name that has never been established before, and not even saying whether it has been established or not, just saying that this is not the original Left Pioneer Town is enough to make Shi Lang gnash his teeth here.
Shi Lang didn't answer the question, and he was still there to get lucky. Shi Xian thought about it carefully, but he couldn't help but not wrinkle, and then asked Shi Lang: "Brother, is it a new military town?" ”
"Well, the order is here, you can take it and see it."
At this moment, Shi Lang was still in great anger, Shi Xian didn't dare to say more, picked up the order and looked at it carefully, sprinkled a large article, mainly to praise Shi Lang's martial bravery and merits, and then said that Zuo Xianfeng Town was already a strong army, and Shi Lang wanted to recruit soldiers on his own, form Zhongquan Town, and strive to train another strong team, Zheng Chenggong believed in his ability, and had great confidence in this.
Speaking of which, Shi Langqi is narrow-minded and has a limited level of scheming, but he still has a very good ability in training and commanding the army. Shi Lang was encouraged and appeased during the appointment, and Shi Xian seemed to understand his meaning, which was nothing more than Zheng Chenggong's heart of cherishing his talents, and he couldn't see him shaving his hair as a monk, so he built a new town as a comfort. But this is really far from what they want, and I don't know if Zheng Chenggong didn't understand what it meant, or deliberately pretended to be puzzled.
"Brother, don't you give it up first. After all, the surname of the country must still be angry because of Chen Kai's affair......"
"What does Chen Kai have to do with me, I don't plan to become an official in the court!"
Heavy breathing, accompanied by the rise and fall of his chest, Rao is relieved for a long time, and Shi Lang's anger especially dissipated. Next, Shi Xian mentioned some things about recruitment, and they all knew very well that because Chen Kai had brought back those Guangzhou people recently, the recruitment was mainly aimed at those Guangzhou people. But those Guangzhou people were all rescued by Chen Kai, and they have always been Chen Kai's horse leader, such as the city guard of the center and left, Chen Kai's order was issued, and the Guangzhou people on the island helped the old and the young to enter the city to assist in the defense, and the patrol standard battalion composed of Guangzhou people was also fighting to the death with the town after the reinforcement, not at all like a new army.
If Zheng Chenggong established a new town and handed it over to him, just those subordinates from Guangzhou would be enough to set it up. But Zheng Chenggong sent him to recruit a town on his own, which had already given him enough room to exert himself, which could not be said to be untrustworthy. It's a pity that this is not what he wants, so he doesn't plan to give up.
"Said that he took Zuo Xianfeng Town from Lao Tzu's hands, and took it away, last time there was still a righteous name, this time if he didn't return Zuo Xianfeng Town to Lao Tzu, he didn't want Lao Tzu to lead him to fight."
