Chapter 189: Suspicion
"On the sixth day of the first month of winter, Su Li, the chief soldier of the Jieshi Army, raided Huilai County, and the main barracks were defeated, the chief soldier Lu Jue was killed, and Wang Huizhi, the county magistrate, hanged himself to death......"
"On the fourteenth day of the winter month, Chen Bin, the chief military officer of Houjin Town stationed in Chaoyang County, rebelled, seized the county seat, and immediately surrendered ......"
"Early this morning, Uncle Zhang got accurate news from Cheng Township, saying that Hao Shangjiu's troops had surrendered, and it seemed that he had an attempt to ...... Cheng Township."
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, sometimes this kind of thing is inevitable, because Zheng Chenggong has so many soldiers and horses, and the strategic focus of the army is shifted to Xiamen, so Chaozhou will inevitably appear empty.
It is undeniable that there are indeed garrisons in each county to ensure local defense, such as Fucheng, Chengxiang, and Chenghai, which have respectively assembled soldiers and horses no less than the land division and battle towns to ensure the safety of these key points. For this reason, at the same time that Chen Hui was transferred to the Zhongzuo Institute to control Zheng Lianshui, Zheng Chenggong also transferred Hong Xishan, who was originally in charge of local affairs in Chaoyang, to Chenghai to fill the vacancy. Fortunately, more than half of Zheng Hongkui's troops were also stationed in Jieyang County, and the four towns of Huang Ting, Shi Xian, Chen Bin, and Lu Jue were located in the southwest of Chaozhou.
"I have long said that Li Chengdong's subordinates will be captured sooner or later. Putting aside Yan Keyi's outliers, Yang Dafu, Luo Chengyao, Huang Yingjie, Zhang Daocheng, and the current Hao Shangjiu are not good things, even Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue, and Dong Fangce are the same......"
"Earlier in Huilai, I told Lu Jue to be careful of Su Li, but I don't believe it......"
"And that Chen Bin is not a good bird. followed Huang Hairu back then, and when he saw that Huang Hairu was weak, he fled on his own. When the national surname was powerful, he came over, and the national surname treated him unkindly, but this guy was ungrateful, he was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, and now he actually lowered the tartar ......"
“……”
In the festival hall in the city of the center left, Shi Lang below was loudly spitting on Hao Shangjiu, who was in a hurry for him, and spitting on Huang Ting and others who "didn't listen to him", and even intensified his efforts to scold Chen Bin for a bloody head, and by the way, he also mentioned that there were several times when he and Chen Kai quarreled, and Chen Bin also jumped out to "stir up trouble" The old thing, trying to imply that Chen Bin and Chen Kai cherish each other, and the two must be the same color.
Zheng Chenggong stood on top of it, but since the general explained the news, he never mentioned anything else. Instead, he looked at an inconspicuous letter over and over again, as if he had discovered a new world.
“…… The last general is a rough man who has never read a book, but he still knows the truth of the Grace Diagram. The surname of the country is as deep as the sea......"
“…… At the end of the past few years, he will be conscientious and conscientious under the command of the national surname, but the general will be straightforward and offend the Shi brothers. The last general is conceited and brave, and he is not afraid of his two brothers, but recently, it has been rumored that Shi Lang framed the last general in front of the national surname, and I heard that the Fujian general in the army could not trust the last general, and other Cantonese ......"
“…… The last general does not want to die under Shi Lang's slander, but he will never be the enemy of the country's surname, this surrender is definitely not the original intention, and the country's surname is ...... forgiveness."
“……”
In the festival hall, Shi Lang was still loudly denouncing Hao Shangjiu, Lu Jue, Chen Bin and others, one by one, one by one, Shi Lang seemed to have been prepared, and turned out every piece of Chen sesame rotten grain that he was not used to these people over the years to be evaluated by the generals, and found out the evidence that these people were either incompetent or disloyal, so as to prove his foresight.
Rubbing the words on his fingertips, the handwriting is neat, but the vulgar and unliterary atmosphere is also obvious, it seems that Chen Bin asked the army to write the Chinese book, using his original words. Zheng Chenggong thought about it carefully, Shi Lang's words to him were framed in the past few months, if it wasn't for the fact that there was still a gap of more than a month in the middle, then it would be almost seamless to instill to Zheng Chenggong that other provinces and Fujianese were not of the same mind, so as to squeeze out Chen Kai.
Chen Kai and Shi Lang seem to be inherently incompatible, but if you think about it carefully, Chen Kai has a very happy relationship with Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding, and people like Hong Xu, Chen Bao and even Chen Hui who used to have conflicts and dislikes with him can now get along very harmoniously, not to mention Ke Chenshu, Ke Chenmei and Du Hui who have experienced life and death together.
On the other hand, Shi Lang was at odds with some Zheng generals in his early years through his uncle Shi Fu's position under Zheng Zhilong; Later, he was once transferred to the command of Huang Daozhou, and was even bombarded back by Huang Daozhou; In Li Chengdong's place, he was not on good terms with Li Chengdong's subordinates and was ostracized; Anyway, when he returned, he first said goodbye to Chen Kai, and then had many contradictions with the generals, even Huang Ting, not to mention Chen Bin, who refuted his face several times.
Whose question is this, don't ask yourself!
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Zheng Chenggong's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by greater intolerance. Shi Lang hadn't finished his speech yet, but Zheng Chenggong didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he put forward a strategy for returning to Chaozhou. If nothing else, Sully's nail had already pierced him several times, and it was time to remove it once and for all.
Zheng Chenggong had made up his mind, and the army was quickly mobilized. The army was about to set out, and Zheng Zhiguan, who was in charge of local affairs in the central left, rushed to Xiamen Island and asked him to garrison Xiamen Island with soldiers and horses, to put it bluntly, he wanted the right of a left-behind commander.
Zheng Zhiguan is Zheng Chenggong's third uncle, not to mention his father Zheng Zhilong, the fourth uncle Zheng Hongkui, the fifth uncle Cheng Jibo, Zheng Zhibao, and the uncle Yanguo Zheng Zhipeng, even if he is a younger generation, he is a country surnamed Ye, as well as his cousin Jianping Hou Zheng Tai, his clan brother Yongshengbo Zheng Cai and Dingyuan Bo Zheng Lian are also very inferior.
In the Zheng family, Zheng Zhiguan is not very affordable. Zheng Chenggong also has such senses, but this time he planned to seize Xiamen, Zheng Zhiguan performed well, and he was quite a late bloomer. Because of this, Zheng Chenggong appointed his people to take charge of the local affairs of the central left, which is also a kind of experience and test, and now due to the changes in Chaozhou, he has to leave this place temporarily, but there is always a trace of apprehension about Zheng Zhiguan's request.
"Third uncle, in the past, Zheng Cai was in the center and left, and the captive did not dare to come to offend. Now that Zheng Cai has escaped, all the sailors of Zheng Lian's department belong to me, I want to go to Chaozhou, if the captives come to attack, how can you defend the palace? ”
"Please rest assured, if you set up a waterway to send soldiers and horses to the defense of your uncle, and the captives will attack, once you lose, you will be willing to obey the military order!"
"Okay."
Zheng Zhiguan was full of spirits, and Zheng Chenggong was not easy to discourage his enthusiasm, so he simply appointed Ruan Yin of Qianchong Town and He De of Youchong Town to be stationed in important places on the island to aid the officers and soldiers under the command of Lan Dengdu of Houzhen to defend the center and left, and obey Zheng Zhiguan's dispatch. At the same time, Dong Yougu, the wife of the Marquis of Liuwei, and Zheng Jing, the prince of the family, guarded the center and left to reassure the people.
The armament was adjusted, and Zheng Chenggong swore to go on the Sunshine Rock on Gulangyu Island. This time, not only to pull out the nail of Su Li, Zheng Chenggong also needs to guard against Huang Yingjie and Hao Shangjiu's rush to Su Li's aid. At the same time, the situation in Guangzhou has changed, and there are more troops in hand, and it is more reassuring. Even if Chen Kai's estimation was wrong, and the Qing army could not capture Guangzhou in the winter moon, then taking this army to wade through a round of troubled waters, Zheng Chenggong felt that it was not impossible to try.
The army set out on the expedition and soon arrived at Nanao Island, and the fleet was stationed on Nanao Island and Chenghai County, and Zheng Chenggong received the news on the day he landed on the island. First, Huanggang and Huanghai plotted rebellion and was punished by Rao Ping's general Guo Tai; The second is that Huang Liangcai, who assisted in defending Puning, colluded with Su Li, and the result was that Huang Ting saw through it and planned it, not only killing Huang Liangcai, but also repelling Su Li, Su Li was frustrated, and now the front has been initially stabilized.
These two pieces of news are not bad news, but they also expose another problem, that is, the Chaozhou bandits still have the problem of rebellion. This is undoubtedly not a potential threat, which worries Zheng Chenggong. After all, it is the hearts of the people who are separated from the belly, and aside from the famous wall grass like the Yellow Sea, it is difficult for him to predict others in advance.
People's hearts still need further stability, and Zheng Chenggong is not in a hurry to return to Xiamen, or go to Jieshi to solve Suli. However, before he could make the next plan, the messenger who returned from Guangzhou to report the news arrived on Nanao Island by boat first, and the news brought back made him take a deep breath immediately.
"130,000 people, it turned out, you want to support me alive."
