Chapter 2: Ripples (Part II)
Speaking of which, Shi Lang is Su Mao's old boss, although he has a bad temper and is not tolerant, but he has also promoted him who has always been obedient over the years, and Su Mao is also grateful to Dade. Since taking over the military power of Zuo Xianfeng Town, Su Mao asked himself that Zheng Chenggong's military orders could also be carried out and forbidden, and he fought bravely. Of course, the thirst for this authority also gnaws at his heart all the time.
Shi Lang was domineering, bullying the generals, and killing his subordinates without permission, Zheng Chenggong should have arrested him. Originally, this was a good opportunity for him to sit firmly as the chief military officer of Zuo Xianfeng Town, but for this old boss, he had feelings, and he didn't want to be ungrateful, so he just wanted to leave Shi Lang's life first, and then try to agree. This happened to coincide with Shi Fu, but within a day or two, even before the army went to the magnetic stove, the two completed the conspiracy, managed to rescue Shi Lang, and blamed Lin Xishan.
As soon as Zheng Chenggong said this, the eyes of the generals, from disbelief to sudden realization, all turned to Su Mao who was kneeling among them. The weight of this gaze was also like the weight of a thousand pounds, and he fell to the ground softly.
Begging for mercy, Su Mao blurted out, but the generals looked embarrassed. Su Mao is different from Shi Lang, his popularity in the army is okay, especially the victory of the magnetic stove a few days ago, Su Mao fought bravely and won the first merit, and he also has the friendship of fighting side by side with the generals. However, as long as you think about it a little this time, you can think that it is Lin Xishan who is Su Mao's fault, and now he is interceding for Su Mao, where will Lin Xishan be placed?
However, this time Zheng Chenggong didn't speak, just asked the generals to sit down, and just waited here without saying a word. It wasn't until a long time later that Huang Chang and Sister Yang, the head of Rongqi Town, came to report, saying that they had surrounded Shi Fu's mansion, but they went in to arrest him, but there was no trace of Shi Fu. Calculated carefully, it was the time when the sea ship carrying Shi Lang's body returned to the port.
The last general was incompetent, and found a secret passage from Shi Fu's study, which contained a change of clothes. The secret passage leads to a small courtyard outside the house, where you can easily go to a private port. According to the descriptions of the people in the vicinity, a ship departed from the harbor......"
Speaking of which, the generals still don't understand that this incident was co-authored by Shi Fu and Su Mao. It's just that this matter is so secretive, even Lin Xishan couldn't find a flaw when he was blamed, Zheng Chenggong just went out for a trip, and then came back and got the answer, which is really incredible.
"Shi Lang did a lot of injustice, and Ben Shuai wanted to punish him according to the rules, but he escaped from prison and absconded, intending to surrender to him. Fortunately, Chen Senjun had expected it and intercepted him on his way, but Shi Lang was unrepentant and wanted to murder Chen Senjun, but was killed by Chen Senjun. Having said this, as if to increase its persuasiveness, Zheng Chenggong immediately added: "The corpses, along with the few captured Fu soldiers, have been escorted over, just outside the tent, and the generals can be seen." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xishan immediately stood up, first bowed his hand, and then strode out of the festival hall. Then, the generals rushed out, and when they got out of the gate, they saw Shi Lang's corpse in the courtyard, and when they got closer, they took a closer look, and the gap on their foreheads was the same as what they saw when Zheng Zhiguan was violently corpsed not long ago!
"It's another shot, Chen's marksmanship in the army is really accurate."
Seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Huang Ting swallowed his saliva, glanced at a few generals who had good friendships with him, and immediately said this, but it was a clear pun.
When they returned to the festival hall, the generals were seated, and they no longer dared to say anything. Only Lin Xishan said that this time he was responsible for not being strict with the generals, and hoped to share the punishment of the generals, but the result was denied by Zheng Chenggong.
Next, Zheng Chenggong announced the punishment decision. Shi Lang and Shi Xian brothers, bullied the generals, were unable to do so, killed subordinates without permission, punished many crimes, and beheaded all over the house; Su Mao, who conspired to release the criminal Shi Lang, blamed Lin Xishan, and beheaded him for public display; Shi Fu is no different from Su Mao, plus he absconded in fear of crime, and the crime was increased by one degree, and he was beheaded all over the house; Wu Fang, who was not effectively detained, was given 80 rods and dismissed for investigation.
"The last general is willing to wear the crime to make meritorious service, willing to wear the crime to make meritorious service, I just ask the country surname to spare the last general's life, and the last general will never dare to commit it again."
The decision to dispose of it was announced in public, and Su Mao's plea for mercy immediately rose an octave. However, Zheng Chenggong had already made up his mind, and only said one sentence, "You fought bravely, and the merits and rewards are still the same, but the merits and demerits cannot be offset", which completely cut off Su Mao's hope.
Su Mao was dragged down and beheaded to show the public, and was sent to the festival hall with Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan and his younger brother Shi Xian's head, and with a wave of Zheng Chenggong's hand, he carried it out again and hung it on the flagpole of the camp to show the public. With the death of Su Mao, the position of the chief military officer of Zuo Xianfeng Town was vacant again, and all the generals were eager to try, but the person Zheng Chenggong liked was not in this section.
"Appointed, changed the chief military officer of Zhongchong Town, Ke Chenshu, to the chief military officer of Zuo Xianfeng Town; Du Hui, the deputy general of Chaozhou Assistant, is the chief military officer of Zhongchong Town; Hong Zheng, the chief military officer, took over the Chaozhou City Guard Association. ”
Chaozhou was armed, Zheng Chenggong was originally Du Hui with Tieqi Town to guard Fucheng, Zhang Jin to guard Chengxiang, Hong Xishan to guard Chenghai, and Chen Bao to guard Nanao; In addition, Ke Chenshu of Zhongchong Town, Zhou Quanbin of Qianchong Town, and Shen Qi of Youzhen were sent to guard Puning County in preparation for Suli; Jieyang was still guarded by Zheng Hongkui's subordinate Chen Kui, and Zheng Chenggong also sent Ke Chenmei's Houchong Town to set up a village outside the city to assist in guarding. Now, Ke Chenshu has returned to the center left to take over the left pioneer town, and the defense of the Puning area has been handed over to Du Hui.
"In the first battle of the Central Left Institute, our department captured a lot of war horses, together with this capture, the commander decided to transfer soldiers from the north who are good at riding and archery, and form the Beizhen cavalry, with Chen Liuyu as the chief officer and Yao Guotai as the supervisor, and organize and train from now on to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
After a series of events such as King Qin's attack on the island, Zheng Chenggong had to return his strategic goal to southern Fujian. However, after several years of accumulation, the strength of the army has steadily improved, and the least of them is the efforts of the "elusive" Chen to join the army.
At this moment, Shi Lang was killed by Chen Kai, who was originally unanimously downcast, and even many people suspected that he had been executed by Zheng Chenggong in private. Everybody, for everything that's happened in recent times, is thinking about it in a new way. It's just that the deeper you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. In this, there is also no lack of Zheng Chenggong's existence.
In fact, as far as Zheng Chenggong is concerned, he has figured out many things, such as Chen Kai reducing his sense of existence by being ostracized by the Zheng family's children and his grandmother's order to withdraw from the marriage, and even did not hesitate to argue with him for this, perhaps for today's scene. But Zheng Chenggong also couldn't understand that Chen Kai was so sure that Shi Lang would be domineering, and he would get rid of Shi Lang because of this, and even Shi Lang escaped from prison with the help of Shi Fu and Su Mao and went to Anping Town after escaping, these things were all within Chen Kai's calculations, which was really unimaginable.
The matter of going to Jiangxi was discussed with Hong Xu, Chen Kai mentioned this matter, and Hong Xu also talked to him. But Chen Kai was relieved and bold to have a lot of trouble with the Zheng family's disciples, no matter how you look at it, it looks like killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 yourself, which is more than worth the loss. In addition, there is another point, about his grandmother, whether it is words or knowledge about righteousness, it does not seem to be Chen Kai's handwriting, and there is no way to influence his stubborn grandmother.
Perhaps, this turmoil was not Chen Kai's doing, but the result of many promotions. And Chen Kai was just in the game, but he saw through everything, so he hit this fatal blow.
This possibility is really not small, and others do not mention it, and in this, he is not without fuel. For example, when Chen Kai set off, he first appointed Hong Xu as the local affairs of the Central Zuo Institute, which deepened the illusion that Chen Kai had lost power, and then let Feng Chengshi take over the Ordnance Bureau, so that the Shi brothers were completely relieved that Chen Kai would not come back and even more unscrupulously caused public anger, so as to get a layer of insurance.
"Why can he be so sure that Shi Lang will go crazy to this point, why can he be so sure of Shi Lang's escape route, this may really be just luck. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that he could still be a prophet? ”
All the thoughts went to the same end, and they all entered a dead end, and the final question fell on the question of "where is Chen Kai now". It's a pity that Chen Kai at this moment doesn't know what these people are thinking, and even how long it will take him to reach Jiangxi is also unknown.
