Chapter 44: Lao Tzu's Heroes (Ask for Collection)

There is a recital signed by Zheng Zhilong, and it is really based on real evidence, isn't it very simple for Zhou Yanru to fool Emperor Chongzhen?

You must know that the reason why Zhou Yanru was defeated in history was because the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and he invited himself to see the teacher, but he deceived Emperor Chongzhen with false good news, and Emperor Chongzhen did not know the inside story, and praised Zhou Yanru.

Under the circumstance that his own forces could not cover the court at all, Zhou Yanru dared to fool Emperor Chongzhen like this, which was of course caused by his dizziness, but he also had to say that he was bold and good at fooling Emperor Chongzhen. Later, for the command of Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxuan revealed the truth, and other officials were also impeached one after another, so he was convicted and exiled to the border. But soon Emperor Chongzhen remembered his good again, saying that Zhou Yanru "will serve the country wholeheartedly, and never replace it," Xu Chiyi returned, and gave 100 gold for the road fee, in order to show the meaning of preserving the gift. Later, Emperor Chongzhen replied to Yan Confucianism for many crimes and ordered him to be exempted. Zhou Yanru then returned to the capital.

And now with Zheng Zhilong's recital as evidence, real evidence, if Zhou Yanru can't fool Emperor Chongzhen anymore, he will not be Zhou Yanru.

For a while, the monkeys on Zhou Yanru's big tree were smiling, and the clouds above their heads saw the sun, and the negative effects caused by Hou Xun's incident disappeared.

But with one gain comes one loss. Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed to get Long Wangshu, and expressed his hope that Zheng Zhilong and others would make persistent efforts to relieve the siege of Songjin. Hehe, that's what a thing.

Zhou Yanru is self-aware, he lacks eloquence and strategy, and he is not good at commanding the military. If it is possible, there is simply no desire to say much about the military. It's just that the emperor's sincere hope is something he has to deal with.

There's still time inside the horizontal, and there's plenty of room to maneuver.

In the next court meeting, Zheng Zhilong's recital was completely made public. Although before this, there were already many ear-and-eye psychic people, and they had already gotten the news.

But for the vast majority of courtiers, Zheng Zhilong's great victory in Niuzhuang was an inspiring morale.

Zheng Zhilong's name was once again known inside and outside the court, and this wave of praise was much more than the previous one.

Compared with the previous Yaozhou good news, this bull village battle is really amazing.

Around a cattle village, back and forth, many battles, Kehaizhou, Gaizhou, retreated the Manchu army, beheaded nearly 1,000 people. Nearly 10,000 people were rescued, which was a rare victory since the old slave uprising in 20 years.

In order to show his military exploits, Zheng Zhilong also included the battles of Haizhou and Gaizhou into the Battle of Niuzhuang, and the combat exploits were leveraged. As soon as it broke out, everyone in the government and the opposition was shocked. Of course, Zheng Sen's young fame also spread by the wind.

Zheng Zhilong didn't exaggerate, wasn't the battle of Gaizhou fought by Zheng Sen? Lao Tzu is a hero.

Of course, there is also Zheng Zhilong who is making people add fuel to the fire, and now Zheng Zhiguan is specifically doing such things. He sold Zhou Yanru well, that is, he sold the Donglin Party people behind Zhou Yanru, but it was actually for one thing - to become famous.

Zheng Zhiguan has no longer drawn up the shipyard matter. started to do the work of 'Jinyiwei', but the Zheng family's foundation is shallow, it has just been rolled out, and things still need time to ferment, but the Donglin Party is not an ordinary big and difficult to govern. The names of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen are still spreading very quickly.

Therefore, from the moment Zhou Yanru nodded, this deal made a big deal for Zheng Zhilongyan. On the contrary, the court's subsequent commendation of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen's father and son was not very eye-catching.

In his sleep, Zheng Zhilong suddenly dreamed of a scene he had seen before, an endless long river, exuding a quaint atmosphere, clocks, coronas, hourglasses, water clocks and all other timepieces that have appeared in history, there are bubble-like phantoms floating over the rolling long river.

Through the illusory river, you can see a monument hidden in it, but it is not glorious, only ancient and dilapidated. It seems that it has been silently immersed in the long river for thousands of years......

Zheng Zhilong was at a loss, he didn't reach out to touch the long river this time, he just looked at it in shock, and then saw that the monument suddenly seemed to be resurrected, although it was still ancient and dilapidated, it was all born of a touch of vitality in the ancient and dilapidated.

It's like an old tree sprouting!

Then the monument shook all over, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Zheng Zhilong also shook his whole body, and then woke up all at once. He was afraid that he would return to the small rental house in the magic capital. But his luck is obviously not so bad, he is still in the late Ming Dynasty, and he is still in Niuzhuang.

It was dawn, and the scene from last night did not affect Zheng Zhilong. It was just a dream!

On Niuzhuang City, Zheng Zhilong watched the warships on the river leave, and his eyes flashed with fine light. The soldiers and horses of the two white flags of the Qing army have already appeared in front of Niuzhuang, so it is time to save Hong Chengchou.

Although the possibility of success is difficult to predict, the Qing army has grown wise at first sight. The east side of Matsuyama Castle has long been blocked. The Ming army in the city fought hard, but there was an off-the-board move that he came up with, so whether it could be done or not remains to be discussed.

But this is already the best opportunity.

Whether it is counting on the five general soldiers in the south, or counting on him Zheng Zhilong, it is all extravagant hope to defeat the Qing army and relieve the siege of Songjin.

Hong Chengchou and the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Songshan City still have to save themselves!

Those who help themselves are helped, those who save themselves are saved by God, and those who abandon themselves are abandoned by God. There is a lot of truth to that.

"Li Wu, it's too late for you to regret it now. The military order was made in public, but there was no room for remorse. Take care of yourself, if you can come back alive, I will show you a guerrilla general to the court. It doesn't matter if Hong Hengjiu is dead or alive. Even if you can't come back, I will also support your wife, children and parents at home. When the children become adults, as long as I, Zheng Zhilong, am still there at that time, I will not be able to wait for them. ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at Li Wu, who was dressed in a Manchurian coat in front of him, and the pig's tail braid that had been cut off saw the light of day again. Glue the concocted braided braids with fish glue to the back of his head, and Li Wu will be Li Wu again.

To save Hong Chengchou, he must not only exert his strength at sea, but also Hong Chengchou himself on the shore, and work together to break the interception of the Qing army and escape from life. And if you want to work on both sides, someone must communicate on both sides of the coast, and Li Wu asked for his own life. Zheng Zhilong didn't have a reason to stop him, didn't he?

The only promise given is a 'big reward'! Whether it's success or failure.

"The handsome man is gracious and righteous, the villain is grateful, there is nothing to repay in this body, he is only willing to die." Li Wu said solemnly.

Zheng Zhilong waved his hand, and Li Wuzhi took a few steps back, turned around and strode towards the city.

He didn't believe what Li Wu said at all, it didn't take more than a month before and after, where did he get so much affection? All of Li Wu's loyalty comes from a very basic fact - his family is under Zheng Zhilong's control.

Another is the 'ambition' that has risen in Li Wu himself.

Li Wu, who was just a coated slave before, of course had no ambitions. But now he is a general manager with bald soldiers, and from a practical point of view, he is at least a middle-level leading cadre of the Zheng Group. But the fact is that Li Wu's status is seriously inconsistent with the strength he has now.

His ceiling is too low, and he longs to break through it and gain the respect and status he has earned.

And this time to communicate the news with Songshan Fort, it was obviously an errand of life and death. Zheng Zhilong set a generous reward, originally to select a person who was willing to go from among several veterans of Liaodi, but Li Wu took the initiative to ask for help.

This is a no-brainer.

He wanted to risk his life to climb upward, and Zheng Zhilong gave him this opportunity.

……

In Haizhou City, in the ruins of the city that turned into a white ground, tents were erected.

Duoduo, the owner of the white flag who had just arrived, was looking at the map in front of him with a depressed expression. This cattle village, this terrain, this battle is too difficult to fight.

Ever since he received Huang Taiji's order, Duoduo has been thinking about this problem, but along the way, racking his brains, he still can't find a way.

"Report ......" remembered in a long voice outside the tent.

Duoduo looked up impatiently and said, "Speak." ”

"Back to the master, the Ming Army's sailors have gone south......"

No one knew where the Ming army's fleet was heading, and Duoduo was even more upset when he heard it.
