Zheng Zhilong (Chen Hua, renamed) didn't know that he had won the jackpot.

Send Zheng Sen to send a handful of money and food to the north, and you can meet such a thing, this luck, it's really blind not to touch the prize.

Therefore, when the time came to early September, a letter from Jingshi urgently sent ...... made him stunned for a while, and he was really speechless.

"I can't think of it, I really can't think of it!"

As for that little money and food, the Zheng family was involved in this Songjin War. And what made him even more complicated was that reading the narrative of the battle report, the Zheng family really had a chance to change the battle of Songjin.

However, he did not catch.

20,000 stone of grain is just a small matter of grain reserves in Songshan City; That day, during the battle between the general army of the six towns that broke through and the Qing army, Zheng Sen led the fleet to save more than 1,000 soldiers from the tide, which was also a trivial matter.

However, on the night of the 21st, after Wu Sangui, Wang Pu and most of the soldiers fled south, they were intercepted by the Qing army and were forced to move to the seaside.

The total army of the six towns, eighty or ninety thousand Ming troops, there is the sea in the east, there are chasing soldiers in the back, there are interceptions in front, the armor is all over the field, the army cannot be defeated, and the tide of the sea soars, and the dead who go to the sea are incalculable.

Eighty or ninety thousand soldiers went south, were robbed and killed by the Qing army all the way, and finally fled into Ningyuan City with only more than 30,000 remnants left.

Zheng Sen and Shi Lang led their fleets to scoop up thousands of defeated soldiers from the waves.

But what if the fleet led by Zheng Sen was not just about 20 ships, but 100 or 200?

What if 200,000 koku of grain were brought in to Songshan at one time, instead of 20,000 koku? I'm afraid that even the timid Datong general soldier Wang Pu will not have any confidence and will flee south.

In the coastal battle between Songshan and Xingshan, if the Ming army was followed by 100 warships, how could the Qing army talk about "blocking"?

"Time, life!"

Zheng Zhilong shook his head, and in the end he could only light a stick of incense for Emperor Chongzhen in his heart.

The facts have been cast, and it is not that he can make up for it by regretting it in his heart, right?

"Big brother, Fusong is still outside the gate now, what if there is a mistake?" Zheng Hongkui said worriedly after reading the Hong Kong Economic Journal. At the same time, I also complained about Zheng Sen in my heart, you said that your father was determined to rebel, why are you still so determined to serve the Ming Dynasty?

didn't get out as soon as possible, and even started working for Hong Chengchou for free.

Okay, you're kind. Wouldn't it be enough to transport the wounded soldiers and some people in Songshan City to Jinmen, and even mixed with Shen Tingyang, who had already arrived at Jinmen with a boat, and led three bird boats to merge with him. Transporting grain and grass to Ningyuan and Songshan, leaving all the errands on Zhifu Island aside!

Do you think this is putting the cart before the horse?

"Leave him alone."

Zheng Zhilong can now understand Zheng Sen's thoughts, and feels that it is better to go with his wishes.

However, the Ming army was defeated in Liaodong, and Zheng Sen took a fleet of ships to transport grain to Songshan at this time, and the ships also sent many wounded soldiers and civilians to Jinmen. This could have been covered up tightly, but because of a series of encounters, it had to leak out in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

In addition, this defeat is an established fact, and Emperor Chongzhen's move to order Hong Chengchou to enter the army has become the key to defeat. At this time, Jiang Dejing stood up again, not to fall into the well against Chen Xinjia, but to advocate once again sending Zheng Jun's naval division north.

With Zheng Sen's ready-made example, how could Emperor Chongzhen not be tempted?

"This Jiang Dejing is really hateful." Zheng Hongkui said annoyedly.

Catch the Zheng family and don't let go?

"Now that it's September, even if our army goes north from the order and arrives at Jinmen, it will enter until November. At that time, it was already freezing and snowy outside the gate, and the port was frozen, so could the warship still sail to the shore? ”

"Brother, why don't you send some gold and silver to Jingzhong, so that this errand can be pushed off."

Zheng Zhilong couldn't make a decision for a while. After watching the process of Songjin's first battle, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although he knew that Emperor Chongzhen had squandered the last elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, which was very beneficial to him, it was all Han people who died, and all the people who benefited were Manchu Tatars. I even regretted it a little in my heart.

If he had chosen to lead the water division north, what would have been the result?

Of course, the most worthless thing in the world is the 'if'! If there is such a thing as regret medicine, presumably Emperor Chongzhen will definitely be willing to come first.

"Jiang Dejing is not a philistine. Even if the imperial court calls in our army, it will not send us to our death. "Zheng Zhilong thought about the weakness of the Ming court after the Songjin War, and at this time, the imperial court only had the share of the Zheng family, and there was no possibility of forcing the Zheng family to oppose it." The imperial court Songshan was defeated, the elite of the nine stops, and the treasury was full of grain. The emperor now has no soldiers and no salary, and it is when it is used to my Zheng family, how can he have bad intentions? ”

Zheng Zhilong thought about it again and again, and felt that the Zheng family at this time could already sit back and relax.

The defeat in the Battle of Songjin not only changed the situation between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also reduced the deterrent power of the Ming court, which suffered heavy losses, to the extreme in the Central Plains. For a local powerful faction like the Zheng family, there is no way to curb it, and they can't do it, so they can only coax and carry it.

He hadn't even thought about this before, and the political sensitivity and political experience were really not good.

And since he can be invincible, Zheng Zhilong naturally hopes to find some trouble for the Manchu Qing. It makes him feel better. But all this depends on Emperor Chongzhen's decision, maybe people will change their minds again with a roll of their eyes!

"Regardless of this, look at the result of the capital. Let Zhipeng go to Denglai first, buy some grain and grass and send it to Zhifu Island. Zheng Sen sent a full 20,000 stone of grain to Hong Chengchou, and he is no longer in charge of Denglai, and the grain storage on Zhifu Island may have bottomed out.

"Then send someone to make a special trip to Jinmen. Be quick, bring enough silver, if you can, the wounded soldiers there ......" Zheng Zhilong's eyes flashed with heat.

The Ming army in the Battle of Songjin is the elite selected from each town, although the Ming army today can hardly be called the real elite, and it is absolutely incomparable to the Tartars, but it is enough to easily crush the Lu Division of the Zheng Group. These wounded soldiers who have been in battle not only have training, but also have experience in fighting and war, but they are much better than new soldiers.

Zheng Hongkui hadn't thought about this in his mind, and when he was reminded by Zheng Zhilong, he immediately realized the opportunity.

Those wounded soldiers who were sent to Jinmen were present in all departments, and the organization had already been chaotic, so naturally there was no way to talk about returning to the team. And the imperial court is now in trouble connecting the money and food of Jining's defeated army, how can it still take good care of them and take care of them in every way?

This is giving the Zheng family a chance. In terms of silver, there is no Zheng family in the whole world.

"Big brother, rest assured. This little brother will do it! Zheng Hongkui's interest in this matter is obviously higher than sending grain to Zhifu Island. The gloom between the eyebrows was swept away.
