Chapter 516: Attack
"Shocked, there are such words written on the oracle bones."
"Awesome to my Council of Elders, amazing discovery."
"Heartache, ...... for a thousand years"
When Xia Yunyi saw the newspaper with a long introduction to the gossip, that is, he thought that many ancient books, including Shangshu, were suspected of being tampered with, and Shangshu was even identified as a "fake book", of course, the evidence was those oracle bones.
This is, of course, a big deal.
However, Xia Yunyi regrets that these things, the Elders Council is not very willing to fully disclose these things at present, only those who have been recruited into the oracle bone interpretation department can be lucky enough to come into contact with those precious oracle bones, he is not so confident in the end, in the talented emperor can take other people's positions.
The incident in Fujian, however, has entered a turning point.
As a noble Indian high caste, Aamir Khan naturally had the pride of treating the people of the lower castes in his eyes as slaves, and due to the habit of education, many people would take it for granted that what they experienced in their growth stage was the universal truth, and he was shocked that these lowly and inferior people dared to threaten such a high caste as him.
You must know that a high caste like him, in his village, can decide the life and death of those low castes with a single sentence.
Luo Yonghammer disappeared unexpectedly, the Hammer Divine Cult has disappeared since then, and the fast Divine Cult suddenly appeared again, Luo Yonghammer's three laws, the mouth stinks, Luo is dead, and the ability to run away forever is god-level.
I don't know if this is as fast as the meaning of the Cult of God, if it is as fast as lightning when you run.
No one knows about this anymore.
Just like a Chinese girl, after helping someone to help her lower door, she will be considered to be currying favor with her low-caste woman, and directly ask her to serve her, and after daring to resist, she actually wide-eyed, thinking incredibly that as a high-caste, killing a low-caste person is a natural human right, why should he be arrested, instead of teaching this low-caste woman's family?
It turns out that in India, caste is a system of division of labor, and the sweeping of this caste and the farming of that caste are clearly distinguished, and a high-caste student, even if he is extremely humble in the United States, refuses to carry out any basic cleaning work, which is regarded as a great shame.
In their eyes, the rest of the world also runs according to this trajectory, and people of the lower castes should not offend him, and those who perform the most basic labor in China are considered to be low-caste and not worthy of friendly treatment.
Aamir Khan's anger could not be soothed in any way, although those officials heard the roar of the foreign lord, and they were all so frightened that they were about to pee their pants, these days, who is not afraid of the foreign lord, but the more and more terrible imperial capital lord seems to be more ruthless.
"Got into the dog hole and ran, it's being searched all over the city, you might as well ......"
"I ask for a retrial of Zhao Yu's case, but I want to see if he is righteous and courageous."
"He's just a merchant, not a person, so why should adults make a big deal about him."
However, outside the coastline, a special combined fleet of more than 20 warships of various types formed a formation outside the port of Fuzhou, and under the cover of the sea breeze, directly blocked Fuzhou's external communications.
The sea blockade and the liaison office in the city built barricades, although both the sea and land routes were only for demonstrations, Zheng Jun had already anticipated the arrival of this day on the surface, and made as many preparations as possible, at least some rafts to block the sea ships on land and sea, trying to confront the elder army.
Although in the past days, Zheng Zhilong has been discussing with the Council of Elders about surrender, of course, in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, it is just Zhao'an, but in the end, the problem is fundamentally that the chicken and the duck talk about it, Zheng Zhilong himself has no faith, or the belief is the money religion, and his idea is to divide the territory, and occasionally give the elders a little pocket money as a New Year's coin.
The Zheng family insisted that they would continue to be in charge of their sailors after surrendering to the Presbyterian Church, but the Presbyterian Church insisted that the Zheng family could not retain the power of the sailors, and could only preserve their merchant fleet, and also demanded corporatization and corporatization, and merged these forces into the Imperial Capital East India Company.
If it was another group of traversers, seeing such good conditions, they would have cried and shouted to join the gang, even if they got 1% of the shares, it would be enough to eat for many lifetimes.
However, Zheng Zhilong did not understand what a modern enterprise was all about, and insisted that Fujian must be assigned to him, and as a pirate, he regarded the elders' dislike of killing as a kind of cowardice, so he became more and more emboldened.
However, for the Council of Elders, either the Zheng family's naval army had to be incorporated into the Presbyterian Navy, reorganized, or completely destroyed, which caused a deadlock in the negotiations between the two sides, and as a result, the negotiations could not reach an agreement for a long time.
With the "Zhao Yu Righteous and Courageous" incident as the fuse, the Council of Elders finally recognized the fact that Zheng Zhilong could not change the old habits, and the war in Fujian was in full swing, and after an artillery bombardment, any resistance became meaningless.
Theoretically, the Zheng family can recruit 100,000 troops in Fujian anytime and anywhere, and they are all men who can work hard to eat, but even a child knows that the combat effectiveness of the Zheng army is simply not able to confront the elder army head-on, even if they take a defensive position based on the city, in the face of the kind of artillery fire that comes from outside the visual distance, there is no chance to fight back, many Zheng Jun saw that they could not beat the elder army, so some guys who were not very determined chose to surrender.
As a result, when Zhao Yu got his medal and certificate of "righteousness and bravery", as well as a lot of property, Zheng Zhilong's power in Fujian, Penghu, and Taiwan was basically uprooted.
Only the Zheng family's old nest in the Quanzhou Mansion is left, and due to the road, it will take time.
At the same time, the presbyterian navy, who had no intention of calculation, also arrested the sailors and important people of the Zheng family respectively, and some people were even naked, thinking that they had caught the wrong person, looking at the man who was still playing with him yesterday with the Nanyang indigenous Lori, and announced the arrest warrant to himself with a cold face.
I have to say that after the main force of Zheng Zhilong's naval division and the main force of the Elders' Naval Division fought, they already wanted to defeat each other as much as possible, and for a while when they couldn't even do anything about the fireboat, a speedboat only needed to take advantage of people's inattention, and suddenly entered the battlefield, relying on the speed of the speedboat and the efficiency of throwing incendiary bombs, which suddenly disrupted the layout of the Zheng family's naval division. immediately ordered a retreat, but was chased and killed by the elder ranks, losing dozens of warships, and finally able to escape, just a few people, all of them directly defected, and they didn't dare to follow Zheng Zhilong against the Elders.
After this battle, the Presbyterian Navy was completely majestic, and for the first time it achieved a big victory at sea, which was not unusual for the Presbyterian Navy, a navy dominated by northerners, to defeat these Fujianese in battle.
And after this battle, when Zheng Zhilong received the news, he also learned that their fleet could not even be driven to a distance where they could fire cannons, so they were completely wiped out. He originally hoped to go to the north to order warships, and even relied on money to buy a few new ships in the imperial capital for fishing and transportation, but he couldn't defeat the military goods in the imperial capital. This is undoubtedly a great psychological blow to Zheng Zhilong, in this era, although Zheng Zhilong has long been inflated, but he does not know what combat effectiveness is.
Zheng Zhilong has many years of experience in dealing with the Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese, and he knows that the plywood ships of the white West are very powerful, not to mention the sturdy and tall ships, and they are equipped with many artillery, but in addition to relying on the numerical superiority, he Zheng Zhilong is still confident that he will win the naval battle, anyway, human life is not valuable.
However, the Council of Elders only used a total of three capital ships and a few speedboats, although the momentum could not be compared with Zheng Zhilong's naval army, which could dispatch hundreds of ships at once, but in terms of range and firepower, it had already surpassed many of the warships they used. caused their defeat this time.
Immediately afterwards, a bad news reached the ears of Zheng Zhilong in Quanzhou, and he fought against a secret card in the north, Tang King Zhu Yujian, and disappeared.
And the person who made him disappear, it goes without saying, it is clear who it is.
Now, Zheng Zhilong finally can't hold on, although it is safe on land, but the Zheng family has no capital to continue to fight with the elder army at sea, and Zheng Zhilong can also see that the presbyterian navy that he originally thought was a landlubber has developed far faster than he had expected. Zheng Zhilong also saw that these elders were determined to vigorously develop China's naval strength.
Although the Council of Elders nominally owns half of the north, but whoever controls the north has always controlled the world, and now it has almost half of China, once it concentrates financial, material, and manpower to do one thing, then this power will be extremely terrifying, and although he Zheng Zhilong claims to be rich and rival the country, but after all, the resources he has in his hands are only in Fujian, and he doesn't know how to be infiltrated. made the Zheng family already fall into a situation where they could not make ends meet.
Under this situation, the Council of Elders will become stronger and stronger, not only the power of the sea, but also the power on land, it is estimated that it will not take a year or two, the influence of the Council of Elders on Guangdong is already stronger than him, and if this continues, sooner or later, his Zheng family will be completely erased from this world by the Council of Elders.
The entire Zheng family realized at this time that it had reached the moment of their life and death, and if they didn't surrender now, then I am afraid they would not even have a chance to surrender in the future.
For him, the leader of the pirate group, what loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, can not be talked about at all, he is more concerned about the family and personal interests, after discussion, most of his subordinates admit that it is no longer the best strategy to continue to fight against the Council of Elders, taking advantage of their current strength can still sell at a better price in the Great Middle Kingdom, they decided to give up the idea of continuing to be the enemy of the Council of Elders, and officially surrender to the Council of Elders.
You must know that Zheng Zhilong's religious beliefs are pluralistic and tend to be pragmatic. When doing business with the Portuguese, he was baptized by the Roman Catholic Church, and at the same time believed in the Taoist sea god Mazu and the Buddhist Morichi Bodhisattva, in Japan, he also visited the Shinto god Hachiman, not to mention his own tomb, but he invited people to see the feng shui, properly see what to want, the wall grass.
Of course, there are a small number of people who don't want to join the Presbyterian Church, but these people can no longer influence Zheng Zhilong's decision, Zheng Zhilong finally saw that the Presbyterian Army was about to come to Quanzhou Mansion, announced that the Zheng family was willing to accept the conditions of the Presbyterian Church, officially surrendered, and became the Shunmin of the new court, and Zheng Zhilong personally went to the table, claiming to be guilty, saying that from then on, the Zheng family would only continue to be a maritime businessman, and at the same time began to talk about the East India Company, and would never try to be the enemy of Dazhong and North Korea. I hope that the Council of Elders will be tolerant of their Zheng family and not blame the past.
Zheng Zhilong himself is a businessman and has not fought many tough battles, which is why Comrade Zheng Sen later is not very capable of fighting tough battles.
So as the news of Zheng Zhilong's surrender came back, the elders sneered one after another, can this fight be the same as the one that was negotiated, and it is not to be fought.
At this time in history, with the Eight Banners robbery group and Li Zicheng group being wiped out early, it is impossible for the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, which has the peak of human infighting, to unite Li Dingguo and Li Guo, a famous general like Li Guo, to resist the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years.
Therefore, with the surrender of the Zheng group, the one who can resist a little in the whole south is Comrade Zhang Xianzhong, who came over, but he is the white glove chosen by the elders to help deal with the gentry in Jiangnan, but he is reluctant to kill.
Reunification is already a sure thing, and it has also completely solved a major problem that aroused Li Xiangqian.
This heart disease is very simple, how long can the red flag last?
"In terms of profits, we have to expel the population as much as possible, or rather, our political system is actually very fragile, relying entirely on the power of science, and the gold is dying."
