Chapter 256: Dongfan

Liu Ruosi looked at Guo Zhiyuan a little inexplicably, failed to catch Zhao Bingjian, undoubtedly made Guo Zhiyuan's credit for the defeat of the rebels greatly shrunk, once Zhao Bingjian and others gained a firm foothold in Dongfan, it would become a big trouble for the imperial court, Guo Zhiyuan originally pacified the rebels with his own strength, which can be regarded as a miraculous achievement, but with Liu Ruosi's understanding of the officials in the Fujian officialdom, he will definitely be very jealous, and he will definitely try his best to discredit Guo Zhiyuan, and failing to catch the rebel leader Zhao Bingjian will also become the excuse for others to attack Guo Zhiyuan, Even he may be unlucky, why did Guo Zhiyuan act so excited, and said that Zhao Bingjian escaped well?

In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Ruosi will be surprised, at this time Dongfan is not the treasure island Taiwan that we are familiar with in later generations, few people in this era can realize the value of Dongfan, although nominally Dongfan also belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom regard Dongfan as a wasteland island with no use value, although there have also been people of insight to the imperial court to suggest the establishment of a formal government agency in Dongfan (Taiwan), Taiwan is really under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it is considered to be a waste of money and food, and it has not attracted the attention of the imperial court at all.

Therefore, Shen Yourong recovered Dongfan (Taiwan) three times, not only did he not get a reward from the imperial court, but said that he was a meritorious worker, so angry that Shen Yourong finally picked a pick. At this time, Dongbo (Taiwan) was actually occupied by some Japanese pirates and pirates, but even these Japanese pirates did not regard Dongbo (Taiwan) as a great feng shui treasure, but only regarded Dongfan (Taiwan) as a base for them to temporarily stop and replenish supplies.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, the Kangxi platform destroyed the Zheng family, and did not really attach importance to the value of Taiwan, although the Taiwan government was established, but it was only to declare sovereignty, and did not carry out real development, resulting in the value of this treasure island has not been revealed.

But Guo Zhiyuan, as a traverser, naturally knows the value of Dongfan (Taiwan) better than anyone else, in fact, he had considered Dongfan (Taiwan) before choosing Penghu Island as a base, but one was that he was too weak at that time, and his troops were so small, and Dongfan (Taiwan) was much larger than Penghu Island, he couldn't occupy it at all, and the second was that occupying Penghu Island would not cause much reaction from the imperial court, after all, the imperial court had garrisoned troops on Penghu Island before, and occupying Dongfan (Taiwan) was likely to make Emperor Wanli feel that he was very ambitious. Suspicion of him.

Zhao Bingjian's escape to Dongfan (Taiwan) just gave Guo Zhiyuan a legitimate opportunity to occupy Dongfan (Taiwan), he could achieve the de facto occupation of Dongfan (Taiwan) in the name of chasing and killing the rebels, and this defeat of the rebels also allowed him to collect a large number of rebel prisoners, with the strength to occupy Dongfan (Taiwan) for a long time, as long as it is operated properly, Dongfan (Taiwan) may become a new starting point for his grand cause!

At this time, Dongfan (Taiwan) is still a pearl that people don't know in the depths, and Guo Zhiyuan, who occupies Dongfan (Taiwan), really has a platform that allows him to give full play to his talents, so Guo Zhiyuan will be so excited when he hears that Zhao Bingjian fled to Dongfan, of course, he will not say these thoughts to Liu Ruosi, although Liu Ruosi is capable, but his character is destined to make him unable to become Guo Zhiyuan's loyal subordinate, but in a short period of time, Guo Zhiyuan has to rely on Liu Ruosi, so he smiled and said: "Of course Zhao Bingjian escaped, You and I can make new contributions, and the court will value us even more! ……”

Listening to Guo Zhiyuan's far-fetched explanation, Liu Ruosi scratched his head and said: "But now that our ships have been burned, it is impossible to mobilize enough sea ships in a short period of time to allow us to go to sea to pursue Zhao Bingjian......

Guo Zhiyuan actually had a rough plan in his heart, but he didn't rush to say it, and said with a slight smile: "I'll figure out a way to deal with the sea ship, think about it in the long run, General Liu, the battlefield should be almost cleaned, let's take a look!" ……”

The two returned to the Enbo Temple on the top of the mountain, at this time it was already dawn, Shen Junrong came to report the results, this time Guo Zhiyuan can be said to be a complete victory, 20,000 rebels, in addition to Liu Ruosi's 5,000 defectors, the remaining 15,000 people, Zhao Bingjian They fled and took away about 5,000 people, more than 4,000 people were burned and killed in the chaos, and more than 6,000 people were captured, and Guo Zhiyuan's self-new army was reduced to less than 200 people, which can definitely be said to have created a miracle in the history of Ming Dynasty wars!

As for the seizures, there are countless counts, and they can't be counted at all for a while, Zhao Bingjian didn't have time to take away the little belongings they worked so hard to loot, all of them are cheap Guo Zhiyuan, although the specific data has not been counted, but it can be imagined that it is definitely a huge fortune!

Liu Ruosi was very surprised to see that it was actually a female general who came to report the military situation to Guo Zhiyuan, and then looked around at the number of self-refreshed troops who were cleaning the battlefield, and finally found that something was wrong, what about the 10,000 elite soldiers who said yes? What about Shen Yourong personally leading the troops? He frowned and asked Guo Zhiyuan: "Lord Guo, no, there are not 10,000 people in the imperial army who came this time, right?" Didn't you say that General Shen Yourong personally led the army to command this time? I don't know where General Shen Yourong is now?! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan also knew that he couldn't hide it from Liu Ruosi all the time, Liu Ruosi would know the truth sooner or later, and he was not afraid that Liu Ruosi would turn his face because he was deceived, and now Liu Ruosi has no way to retreat, so he glanced at him, and said with a smile: "General Liu, I won't hide it from you, what you saw last night was just a suspicious plan laid out by me, and there were only 2,000 people attacking the mountain last night......

Liu Ruosi looked at Guo Zhiyuan dumbfounded, his first feeling was anger, anyone who was played around like this by a young man much younger than himself would feel angry, and stared at Guo Zhiyuan with a fierce look, as if he was about to explode at any time, but Guo Zhiyuan just looked back at him calmly and didn't say anything.

On the side, Shen Junrong felt the murderous aura on Liu Ruosi's body, vigilantly pressed the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and at the same time quietly made a gesture to the surrounding several regimental training villagers, faintly surrounding Liu Ruosi, Liu Ruosi finally calmed down, and the shame and anger in his heart also turned into fear of Guo Zhiyuan, this young man is really terrible, it seems that this battle is Guo Zhiyuan deceived himself and used his defection to achieve victory, but in fact, his every reaction has already been expected by him, With such scheming and skill at such a young age, how can he not feel chilled?!
