Chapter 203: Outbreak (Part II)
"Can't you see that there is no room on this ship? Go to another boat with your standard soldiers, it's enough for their mother and son to make trouble unreasonably, you big man, don't make trouble for me! ”
Zheng Zhiguan looked impatient, probably if it weren't for Chen Kai who was about to become the son-in-law of the Zheng family, it was estimated that it would be possible to kick off the boat directly.
On this day, Chen Kai had already expected it, so he insisted that the yamen and standard camp of the sub-patrol road be set up in the Zhongzuo Institute, just for the arrival of this day. This is a preparatory means that he has no way to persuade Zheng Chenggong not to go to King Qin, not only because of Shi Lang's failure, but also because history seems to have changed.
But as soon as Zheng Chenggong left, the tiger left the lair, so the monkeys on the mountain may not jump out to fight for the king. What's more, the Qing army's sneak attack on Xiamen was a real occurrence in history, so he had to try to deal with it even more.
However, the historical records of later generations are confused, the dates of the Qing army's sneak attack on Xiamen Island are different, and the difference between the Shixian calendar and the Datong calendar in terms of leap months has added a question of whether there is a leap February, and Chen Kai has no way to confirm which day this happened.
It was not too early to receive the news, and Chen Kai even pulled a team of pacesetters to rush over. Luckily, I wasn't late, but looking at this scene, Zheng Zhiguan and Dong Yougu seem to have been frozen for a long time, so this ship should be the one where Zheng Zhiguan robbed part of the Zheng family's savings stored by Zhongzuo.
"Uncle, the little nephew is not here to get on the boat and escape, but to ask my uncle to return to Zhongzuo City to preside over the overall situation!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Zhiguan, Dong Yougu, Zheng Jing, and even Lan Deng and the surrounding Ming army were all stunned when they heard it, and they were stunned to see this civil official talking such crazy things here. However, once he remembered the identity of this person, no matter how crazy he was, he would subconsciously feel that there should still be some truth in it, after all, it was not the first time that Chen Kai had done such a hot thing. Maybe we can really defend this city.
"Are you crazy? The Tartars have already landed on the island, and Ruan Yin and He De's two wastes have already run away, with this little soldier, with the hundreds of recruits in your hand, can you hold it? Reprimanded loudly, Zheng Zhiguan seemed to feel that he was talking to Chen Kai, a well-known capable official, in such a tone, especially since this person was about to marry Zheng Xiyuan, and he would soon be a relative, probably not suitable, so he coughed lightly and persuaded again.
"It's done, the Tartars are powerful, Ruan Yin and He De have run away, we really don't have enough troops, we have to save more vitality for Damu. You listen to my uncle and mine, the boat over there, hurry up and let your standard camp board the ship, let's go to sea to take shelter for a while, and wait until Damu returns to the division, isn't this Zhongzuo still ours? ”
Zheng Zhiguan was also helpless to get home, Dong Yougu over there said that he refused to get off the boat, and Chen Kai here asked him to go back to the city to preside over the overall situation of bullshit. These two guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, he just persuaded that, and here he has to persuade this again, it seems that it is really better to throw these two guys off the boat to save trouble.
It's a pity, this is also a secret refresh in his mind, whether it is Dong Yougu or Chen Kai, he doesn't dare to move lightly, not to mention that Chen Kai also brought a team of standard battalion soldiers, if he really does this, not to mention these Guangzhou Yankees who only obey Chen Kai's orders, it is estimated that even Lan Deng will not let him do this, but will stand on the side of these two troublemakers, which is the worst situation at that time.
Speaking of which, Zheng Zhiguan is an idea, the Qing army is coming, so we have to run away, Rao is Chen Kai has expected it, and it is inevitable that he will not be angry. However, he only had this 500-strong sub-patrol battalion in his hands, and he couldn't do it at all to guard the Zhongzuo in front of thousands of Qing troops. At this moment, Ruan Yin and He De no longer know where to go, and only by trying to let Lang Deng stay can they have a slight chance of winning, and since Lan Deng is helping Zheng Zhiguan carry the treasure, he is obviously still obeying his orders, so he can only try to persuade Zheng Zhiguan, the powerful faction who is fully responsible for the defense of the center left.
This time, no compared to when he was in Chaozhou and Guangzhou, there were the Ke brothers, Du Hui, Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, and Hong Xu, all of whom were absolute supporters of Chen Kai's plan, and even those who needed his persuasion were mostly martyrs in history, who had the same desire as him. And now, all he has is Lin Dezhong and the 500 standard battalion soldiers, but if he wants to succeed, he must persuade a coward who takes the lead in escaping, and even if he thinks about it, he will feel difficult to breathe.
After listening to Zheng Zhiguan's long-winded words, Chen Kai took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and then calmly said to Zheng Zhiguan: "Uncle, Lan Shuai has a thousand soldiers in his hands, all of whom have been in battle for a long time, and there are five hundred new soldiers on the nephew's side. With the Tartars' sailors, it is a great thing to be able to transport a town mark, and we are not too much worse than the Tartars. Now the city is still in the hands of our army, and you repaired it not long ago, and you have such a strong city, do you just give up? ”
It was also Chen Kai's plan to lure Zheng Zhiguan to repair the city in the left, Zheng Zhiguan could not have thought that Chen Kai would be an "unpredictable prophet", but Chen Kai took this opportunity to persuade him, asking him to give up this pay, looking forward to the return of the payment, and returning to the city to defend the palace. However, it was a flattering eye thrown to the blind man, how could Zheng Zhiguan still take care of this, even if he insisted that he couldn't hold it at all, he directly rejected Chen Kai's statement.
"Uncle ......"
Speaking of this, Chen Kai was already dry-mouthed, but before he finished the following words, Zheng Zhiguan stopped him arrogantly and shouted directly to Chen Kai: "Actually, if you still take me Zheng Zhiguan as an elder, just listen to me, hurry up, if you don't leave, if you don't leave the Tartars, none of us will be able to leave!" ”
After saying this, Zheng Zhiguan no longer paid attention to Chen Kai, turned his head and continued to discuss with Dong Yougu, and even persuading him to change ships became safer to follow Chen Kai's boat.
However, when Zheng Zhiguan's words just now were in his ears, Chen Kai couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past month or so, he has changed his mind, using more tactful methods to induce Zheng Zhiguan to prepare for this catastrophe according to his ideas, according to Dong Yougu, taking care of Zheng Zhiguan's face as an elder has indeed achieved certain results. But now, when it was really time to kick the door, such a method was completely ineffective, and even Zheng Zhiguan had to use the elders' shelves to press him, forcing him to give up the defense of the Zhongzuo Institute, forcing him to give up everything he had prepared before, and forcing him to give up all his previous efforts!
"Sure enough, if you are polite to some people, they will kick their noses in the face."
Thinking of this, Chen Kai silently took out the flintlock handcuff given to him by the Macao side from under his official uniform, and then took out the small leather pot containing gunpowder and lead bullet from his cuff one by one like a trick, and took out a tong stick casually, and filled it step by step.
Chen Kai's actions quickly attracted the attention of everyone around him, first Lan Deng's disbelief, then Zheng Jing's curiosity, and then Zheng Jing tugged Dong Yougu's sleeve, the latter's attention also turned from arguing with Zheng Zhiguan, staring at everything in front of him with wide eyes, and finally even Zheng Zhiguan felt the strange atmosphere, and when he turned his head to look at Chen Kai, he immediately recognized that this weapon without an arquebus was a firearm that could fire on its own.
"Actually, what are you doing?"
In Zheng Zhiguan's screams, Chen Kai ignored him, but said to Dong Yougu, "Madame's method is useless, now I have to rely on my own method." Immediately, he raised his hand, and the muzzle of the flintlock handcuff pointed directly at Zheng Zhiguan's front door, and asked loudly: "Zheng Zhiguan, Lao Tzu will ask you one last time, is this Zhongzuo City guarded or not?!" ”
The first moment he was persuaded with kind words, and the next moment he showed a pungent appearance, such Chen Kai, Zheng Zhiguan, Dong Yougu, Zheng Jing, Lan Deng, Zhou Quanbin and others, no one has seen it. Come to think of it, the last time it seemed to be in the Chaozhou General Town Mansion, Chen Kai suddenly killed the killer, killed Che Renzhong by surprise, and even when he was in Guangzhou, he once wanted to fight but was still stopped by Lin Dezhong, Cai Qiao and those Guangzhou volunteers.
Chen Kai's angry shout, his finger was pressed on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun was the biggest threat, worth a thousand words. However, after being stunned for a moment, Zheng Zhiguan became even more hysterical, shouting loudly that Chen Kai was a dog raised by the Zheng family, and now he wanted to bite the owner back. Speaking of excitement, he grabbed the barrel of the gun and put it directly on his head, shouting that Chen Kai didn't dare to shoot at all.
At this moment, Zheng Zhiguan's eyes were red, almost crazy, roaring like a mad dog. This is a stress reaction, a rebound from Chen Kai's earlier respect for him to his current contempt, and a general outburst of negative emotions that his uncles and brothers, and even his nephews have looked down on him over the years.
A sick state of mind, once it erupts, sanity ceases to exist. On the other hand, Zheng Zhiguan's scolding only had the word sad in Chen Kai's ears - not for himself, and there was no need to do anything for the crazy words of a madman. For him, Zheng Chenggong's curtain is just a transitional stage, and he will go to a bigger stage in the future. It's just that after this time, the appearance of warmth and affection will be completely torn apart, and I'm afraid that what remains will only be blood inside.
"The surname of the country is not a person, and now, I will correct this mistake for him."
The voice fell, the cold light flickered, the right index finger pulled the trigger, the reed was driven, and the hammer fell in response. In the crisp knocking sound, the flint sparked and ignited the gunpowder, Chen Kai only felt a shock in his hand, the gunshot rang out, Zheng Zhiguan's scolding stopped abruptly, and his huge body fell on the deck with the sound, and the red and white spurting out of the back of his head splashed Dong Yougu and Zheng Jing not far behind him.
In the next second, Chen Kai raised his handcuff and shouted: "Zheng Zhiguan abandoned the city and absconded, and now he has been ambushed." In an emergency, the official Chen Kai temporarily took over the defense of the Central Left Office as the patrol of Zhangquan. Those who dare to disobey the military orders of this official are like this! ”
