Chapter 1609: One More Son
"I heard that sweet potatoes eat too much flatulence and will fart."
Zheng Sen's eyes widened, he never thought that Wu Zheng would be such an opening statement, his mouth was wide open, he couldn't close it for a long time, and he could even stuff an egg into it.
This is a madman! No prince would speak in such a tone and vocabulary, the only thought and conclusion in Zheng Sen's heart.
Wu Zheng looked at Zheng Sen with a hint of playfulness, as if to indicate that Zheng Sen would happen to release one at this time.
This made Zheng Sen annoyed, "If you have something to say, you don't need to go around in circles." ”
"Good!" Wu Zheng suddenly replied loudly, startling Zheng Sen.
"Let's start with sweet potatoes." Wu Zhenghao said flawlessly, "Everything has its two sides, the good side and the bad side...... You Zheng Damu has a good side and a bad side. For example, if you are firmly anti-Qing, it is the good side, but if you raise soldiers and protect yourself, you are the bad side....... ”
Zheng Sen said angrily: "This accusation is unacceptable...... Since the death of the Hongguang Dynasty, Sen trembled and worried, and sacrificed his life to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty......! ”
"Anti-Qing is true, why bother to restore sight!" Wu Zheng said unceremoniously, "First of all, Longwu wanted to go west and recover the lost land of Huguang, you raised tens of thousands of troops in Nanao and other places, but you did not move, allowing the Ming army to be defeated, but after the death of Longwu Dynasty, you swore against the Qing Dynasty in the name of "loyalty and filial piety to the general's crime and the surname of the country" in Xiaojinmen, what is the explanation?" ”
Zheng Sen's face turned pale, and he argued urgently: "At that time, I was only given the surname of the country, and I was ordered to recruit troops, and I did not have the power to mobilize the army....... ”
"After that, the King of Jin wanted to unite with you several times to jointly conquer the Qing army of Liangguang, why did you refuse? At that time, there were already nearly 300,000 troops under the command of the axe, not only did you not attack Guangxi and Huguang in the west to join the Great Western Army, but led the army to attack Fuzhou when the Northern Expeditionary Army defeated Shaoxing Mansion to invade the Qing army? What do you want, do you want to compete with me for Wenzhou, southern Zhejiang, and two states? ”
Zheng Sen was dumbfounded, and he really had nothing to explain for a while.
Wu Zheng said abruptly: "If it is captured, it can be regarded as recovering the lost territory, but the 200,000 army was defeated by the Qing defenders of less than 10,000 and collapsed...... I can't figure it out, how do you command, how do you lead the troops? ”
This is a fact, if Zheng Sen can barely explain the first point of Wu Zheng's accusation, then the second and third accusations, Zheng Sen can't defend them at all.
As Wu Zheng said, resisting the Qing Dynasty is true, and restoring the Ming may not, if Zheng Sen wants to recover, it is also the Ming of the Longwu Dynasty, not the Ming of the Shuntian Mansion, because Zhu Yujian is really good to Zheng Sen.
The attack on Fuzhou was defeated, which directly led to the collapse of the Yongli Dynasty, otherwise, with Zheng Sen's more than 200,000 troops guarding Guangdong, how could the Qing army drive straight in, and why did Yongli flee to Yungui?
Zheng Sen was indeed a little uncomfortable with Wu Zheng's chatting method, but the problem was that he couldn't resist.
Whether it is a title or strength, Zheng Sen now has to be a man with his tail between his legs, at least in front of Wu Zheng.
Zheng Sen, whose face was red and blue for a while, finally held back a sentence and scolded Wu Zheng back and forth, "You...... How could you not be like that! ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zheng Sen meant, "Are you accusing me...... Doing the abolition? ”
Zheng Sen's eyes showed a hint of provocation, although he didn't admit it, but his eyes were saying, what about it?
Wu Zheng sighed and did not explain.
The two were silent and looked at each other, like fighting cocks ready to fight.
This made the guards around Wu Zheng and Zheng Sen nervous, although they were all selected elites, but Zheng Sen's guards were like babies in front of Wu Zheng's guards.
Also, a person like Lu Jincai is like a wall, and when he is in front of Wu Zheng, unless he is put down first, it will be difficult to see Wu Zheng.
After a long time, Wu Zheng finally spoke, "I know you're not convinced...... ”
"No, I'm convinced."
This time it was Wu Zheng's turn to be surprised.
Zheng Sen said: "I can rise with thousands of people in Shaoxing, resist the trend of the Qing army going south, and establish the two dynasties of Yixing and Jianxin...... No matter what I say, I'm convinced, you...... Better than me! ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Sen suddenly wilted like a deflated ball, and he looked into the distance, "...... It's not that I don't want to unite with Li Dingguo, but I can't. You should know that the composition of our army is complicated, most of the army is my father's brother and the old department, and the people are not in harmony with each other, and the struggle for power and profit happens from time to time, if I lead my troops westward, I am not allowed to leave the front foot, and the backyard will catch fire....... ”
Wu Zheng listened silently.
“…… Attacking Fuzhou is not to compete with you for southern Zhejiang, but to compete with you for the world. Zheng Sen turned his head and glared at Wu Zhengdao, "You have done the abolition of the establishment several times, and you are no longer a minister, if you get the merit of the Northern Expedition, where will you put the Ming Chamber?" I just want to get through the way north...... This is true for attacking Fuzhou, and the same is true for the sailors entering eastern Zhejiang...... Wu Zheng, from the bottom of your heart, you are just a living Cao Apu! ”
Wu Zheng listened, his face was still calm, which made Zheng Sen a little surprised.
"I'm here to discuss with you about forming a naval fleet." Wu Zheng replied authentically, "The 200-year sea ban of the Ming Dynasty has wiped out the glory of Zheng Sanbao's seven voyages to the West, and no one has mentioned the sense of sea power in the Yongle Dynasty...... It's sad and lamentable! ”
Zheng Sen's whole person was shocked, he obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Wu Zheng's thinking.
Isn't this just accusing the other party of disloyalty, why did it suddenly go around the matter of forming a naval fleet?
But in any case, the formation of a naval fleet really attracted Zheng Sen, he didn't think about it, he thought about it too much.
After being defeated by the "Zhufan Combined Fleet", Zheng Sen's most urgent thing was to take revenge.
That's right, Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch at that time, but Zheng Sen was defeated.
Although the difference between the two is huge, war is war, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, there are not so many ifs.
Zheng Sen knew that if he wanted to take revenge, he would rely on himself, and he would not have ten or eight years, and there would be basically no play. Only with the help of external forces, for example, the current His Royal Highness King Wu, who built a new dynasty, is a great general who sits on the rich land of the Thirteen Mansions.
Zheng Sen subconsciously straightened up, and his body involuntarily leaned towards Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng didn't seem to notice, and he continued: "For naval battles, the Ming Dynasty had outstanding achievements, first the Portuguese, then the Spaniards, and now the Dutch, not to mention the Japanese people in the east...... During the Zhengde period, the Portuguese wanted to open the gate of the Ming Dynasty with strong ships and artillery, burning, killing and plundering, but were repelled by the Ming army in the battle of Hoomen and fled back to the Malay Peninsula stronghold...... Two years later, the Portuguese attacked again, but were still defeated by the Ming army at Xicaowan...... A hundred years later, the Dutch took the place of the Portuguese and became the sea coachmen, and their military strength was the strongest in Europe. ”
