The fleet that fled from Taizhou was not only Zhu Changshu, but also Ma Shiying, who assisted him all the way, and other ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Seeing Zhu Changshu so sad and angry, Ma Shiying, who was disgraced on the side, bowed his head gloomily.

"Your Majesty, it is said that the reason why Wuchang did not send troops to rescue him was because the former prince was jealous of us and did not support him as the emperor, so Liu Ximing was strictly forbidden to send troops, but it was a pity that the people of Jiangnan suffered from me."

"Woo woo"

Thinking of the killing of the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, the soldiers and soldiers of the same ship were all sad.

Zhu Cihong, who was far away in Wuchang, didn't know that he had inexplicably taken over a cauldron for Liu Ximing, and it was a deadly black cauldron.

Although it can't be said directly, with the strength of the Liu family's spy personnel in the southeast, He Tianlei and others frantically instigated rumors such as Zhu Cihong's narrow-mindedness in other places except Wuchang.

He Tianlei and other people from the Military Intelligence Bureau also made up a lot of jokes for this.

Now the reason why the world only knows that the prime minister does not know Zhu Cihong is because Zhu Cihong frolicks in the palace all day long and does not do justice.

There are also those who turn over old accounts, and take out all the actions of the Zhu family's vassal kings in various places and process them.

even directly took out the absurd things of Jiajing, Wanli and other emperors.

In short, there is one purpose, to frantically attack and smear the rule of the Zhu family.

Rumors such as these have spread widely in the Liu family, and the legal foundation of the Zhu family has become weaker and weaker.

Now the entire Jiangnan believes that the reason why the Wuchang Imperial Court did not send troops to rescue was because of Zhu Cihong.

After all, no matter how you look at this matter, Zhu Cihong benefits alone.

Without these pseudo-imperial courts in Nanjing, wouldn't the Wuchang Imperial Court be more justifiable.

Just when Zhu Changshu and the others were secretly sad, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the fog not far away.

Immediately after, this rumbling sound continued to sound intensively like a muffled thunder in the sky, which shook the hearts of Zhu Changshu and others on the bow of the ship.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh"

The violent sound of breaking the air came from far and near, and suddenly, a cannonball whistled out of the fog, directly knocking out a big hole in the sail of the lucky boat that Zhu Changshu and others were riding.

"Enemy attack!"

In the Nanming fleet, dozens of warships cried and roared.

The officers and men of the Nanming Water Army, who had already become frightened birds, were running around on the deck in a hurry, and a group of people didn't know how to fight back.

Nanming's sailors also have cannons, but there are only a few at most.

Faced with the sudden attack in the fog, everyone panicked.

"Hahaha, which rabbit cub was the first to find out, and Lao Tzu gave him the first credit!"

In the Luzon detachment, Zhao Jingyong gave an order with an excited face.

"Discovering the enemy ship, Yue Fei led the Second Fleet to outflank the left flank, and Wei Qing led the Third Fleet to outflank the right flank."

"The whole ship is free to fire, speed up, and we must not let go of a single battleship."

On the Wu Qi, Wei Minan quickly ran back to the captain's command position, holding an iron horn and shouting directly.

"The enemy ship is 223 degrees to the southwest, immediately turn, and the gun commander is in position!"

Because of the fog, Zhao Jingyong and the others were not far from Zhu Changshu's fleet.

By the time the entire Luzon fleet had completed its turn and division of troops, Zhu Changshu's fleet had fallen into a situation where there was no way to retreat.

In order to ensure this mission, the Luzon Navy not only sent all the Taiwan fleet, but also supported several warships from the Luzon mainland.

Zhao Jingyong had a total of 3 third-class battleships, 24 cruisers, and 48 frigates.

On the southern sea of the Zhoushan Islands, fierce artillery fire instantly sounded.

As time passed, the fog gradually dissipated, and this situation was even more tragic for Zhu Changshu and others.

The entire Nanming fleet has become the ravaged side.

"It's Luzon!"

In the Nanming fleet, many people knew that the Luzon people were good at using plywood boats, and now when they saw this posture, they all exclaimed.

The morale of the Nanming fleet fell directly to the bottom.

Zhu Changshu looked shocked, "Could it be that the Luzon people also defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”

Ma Shiying, who was on the side, slammed his fist on the bow railing, "Your Majesty, we are all fooled, this Luzon fleet is absolutely inseparable from Liu Xi's life, he wants the life of the entire Ming Dynasty!" Emperor Zhengxing is also in danger! ”

"Impossible, impossible", Zhu Changshu muttered to himself with a pale face, "Liu Xi is destined to meet the hope of the world, how can he do such a thing, is he not afraid of the world pointing at his backbone and scolding?" ”

Ma Shiying looked remorseful, how could he only understand this now.

Seeing that Zhu Changshu still couldn't figure it out, he directly cried and pointed out: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the warships that escorted Emperor Zhengxing when he went to Wuchang to succeed to the throne, this is clearly a bureau......

"Boom", "Boom"

Dozens of shells hit the waterline of the Fu boat on which Zhu Changshu and others were riding, and the entire Fu boat began to sink gradually.

"Your Majesty, I'll meet again in the next life."

On the Fu boat, Ma Shiying let out a mournful roar.

Zhu Changshu fell to the ground, his hair became scattered because of the shaking, and he cried directly when he heard the words:

"It's over, it's over, Grandpa Tai's country is about to end in our hands, this world is my Zhu family's, Liu Ximing, you are a rebel, I curse you not to die!"

Three hours later.

Looking at the clean surface of Zhoushan, Zhao Jingyong nodded with satisfaction.

"Let the outer fleet make sure that no one has escaped, right?"

It didn't take long for the lookout on the lookout tower to shout: "Governor, the Nanming fleet has been sunk, and all the soldiers who jumped into the sea have also been dealt with, and they can return to the sea." ”

"Okay, stay for another hour, and return to Anping in an hour."

"Whoa"

In the quiet sea outside Zhoushan, no one knows that the last hope of the Ming Dynasty is quietly buried here.

~~~

At the same time that the Ming Dynasty entered a moment of sorrow, Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of Fujian, also ushered in his most difficult moment.

In the city of Quanzhou, in the gorgeous and elegant flower hall of the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhilong sat on the main seat in a long robe, and in addition to Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhifeng and other brother generals, there were two unfamiliar faces sitting under him.

One of them actually had a pigtail with a rat tail, which caused the maid who was waiting on the side in Zheng's mansion to cover her mouth and peek, her eyes were full of horror.

Tartars!

"The general town, the general of Pingnan of the Great Qing Dynasty, Dorobelle Lekedehun specially sent a small one to make peace with you, the Qing State intends to recruit your army, and to the general town to promise the post of governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and allow you to live in Fujian."

The speaker was the man who followed the Manchu envoy, who was dressed in a Han family collared robe and an old man's scarf, a typical Han dress.

This person is around fifty years old, with a ruddy complexion, and a handful of mustaches are very neatly groomed, and he is obviously from a wealthy family.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was silent and did not speak, the middle-aged man brushed his beard and rushed down Zheng Hongkui smiled:

"The Qing Dynasty is unstoppable, and it has broken through Shandong, Nanzhili and Zhejiang in the past few months, the fourth master should be clear, otherwise you will not directly give up Xianxia Pass and return to Fuzhou."

"Now the more than 100,000 troops of Dorobelle Leke Dehun have captured Fuzhou and other places, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Quanzhou, I am a benevolent and righteous army of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't want to kill more, so I want to recruit your army, for the sake of my millions of people in Fujian, please think more about the town."

Zheng Hongkui's face on the side changed several times, turning blue for a while and white for a while, and finally looked at Zheng Zhilong with a long sigh.

"Big Brother ......"

Zheng Zhilong directly waved his hand to interrupt him, "No need to say more. ”

He then looked at the two people who came to persuade him to surrender, ignoring the green-skinned and pigtailed Jianlu, Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and looked at the middle-aged man from the Han people.

"Guo Bichang, since you came to persuade you to surrender, do you mean that the gentry of Quanzhou have already planned to surrender?"

The middle-aged man Guo Bichang smiled and arched his hand: "Zongzhen, those who know the times are Junjie, right now the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty are eyeing you by your side, don't you hesitate to hold tens of thousands of troops, what can I do with the small people." ”

"However, I heard that news has come from Jiangnan, and those who surrender must be like him, like that......"

Zheng Zhilong pointed to the Tartar beside Guo Bichang, and stopped talking with a painful expression.

Guo Bichang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Zongzhen, hair and clothes are just a trivial matter, for those of us who have a big family and a big business, it is naturally the most important thing to have a net worth." ”

"If you don't descend, your hair will be saved, but your life is gone, what's the use of having hair, are you going to leave these gold and silver treasures for others to spend?"

"Fuck your stinky fart!"

As soon as Guo Bichang's words fell, a loud shout came from outside the flower hall.
