Chapter 491: Soldiers

Zheng Chenggong's sage books in the past few years in Nanjing Guozijian were not read in vain after all, the Confucian orthodoxy of feudal etiquette and Taoism had a deep influence on him, and the three outlines and five constants were deeply rooted, and he absorbed positive patriotic thoughts from Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi, and the negative thoughts of these two did not affect him. This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to stand out from the crowd at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, and walked out of a completely different path from his father and became a famous national hero.

Although Lin Yi's crossing partially changed the direction of his history, now his true colors as a national hero have been shown, and he wants to kill his relatives in order to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.

In order to rebel against his own uncle Zheng Hongkui, he also thought of a strategy on the way to success, and this mouth can be regarded as able to speak, and standing on the position of the nation and righteousness, the uncle launched a war of words in the handsome tent, which ended with his complete victory and the complete defeat of his uncle Zheng Hongkui.

Although Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhilong were both born pirates, but these two people are different, Zheng Hongkui went from the martial arts in the examination to the martial arts in the examination, served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Emperor Chongzhen, and then served as the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, when he was in the Hongguang Imperial Court, he fought against the Qing soldiers in Zhenjiang, you can see that the road he took was a road of martial arts, and the most glorious time was the head of the Jinyi Guard of the Chongzhen Emperor, I and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, dizzy, of course there is thought, otherwise I will not enter the high-level of the Jinyiwei.

It should be said that Zheng Hongkui is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but in the past few years, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, the world has been in turmoil, and he has not accepted Lin Yi's imprisonment of the country, and has embarked on a road of supporting his own brother to establish himself as the king and emperor.

Under the persuasion of Zheng Chenggong, reviewing and summarizing the successes and failures of the past few years, I realized that Zheng Chenggong said a good word, the Great Southern Empire is just a flip board of the Great Shun Kingdom and the Great Western Kingdom, if you are obsessed with it, it must be in the footsteps of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, after thinking about this, I feel that I seem to be old, unable to keep up with the situation, judging the situation, and looking ahead, he is not as good as his own nephew Zheng Chenggong.

His mind began to waver, and he began to understand that Zheng Chenggong was not a nephew who was greedy for life and afraid of death, not as unbearable and shameless as they had imagined before.

But to sell an earth-shattering step like Zheng Chenggong, he felt that it was very difficult, did he also have to oppose his brother Zheng Zhilong? They crawled out of a mother's belly, this brother treats himself well, especially after the founding of the country, he was crowned as a prince and let him run Liangguang, since he chose to support the road of his brother to the throne, he should start and finish well, if even his brother is not loyal, how can he be loyal to the court?

They have five brothers, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao are now gone, and now only the three of them are left, thinking that their brothers took Eighteen Zhi to the world, and their prestige shook the East and South Seas, first 18 people and then 26 people, kowtow and worship, blood for the alliance, brothers with different surnames can still be united, do the brothers want to turn against each other, don't you make the world laugh?

And now that his brother Zheng Zhilong needs support the most, he is fighting his own brothers, going into battle as father and son soldiers, and having a son is already against him, do you still want to stab him in the back as a brother?

Zheng Hongkui is difficult to change, difficult to make up his mind, and hesitates. He decided to let Zheng Chenggong go, and when he saw Zheng Chenggong before, he must unload him with 8 pieces and clean the door for his brother, such thoughts were swept away.

However, Zheng Chenggong did not leave, but pulled out the sword and wanted to commit suicide to die.

In the end, Zheng Hongkui gritted his teeth and made a major decision: surrender to the Ming Dynasty, follow his nephew Zheng Chenggong, and jointly lobby his brother Zheng Zhilong to accept the court's recruitment, as Zheng Chenggong said, they did not do it for themselves, but for Zheng Zhilong's atonement, and for the sake of their entire Zheng family's descendants.

Zheng Hongkui surrendered, and Zheng Chenggong was extremely happy. But at this time, the happiest person is Makiko Tagawa. This beautiful woman is most concerned about Zheng Chenggong's safety now, and she doesn't care about anything else.

She has long entrusted everything she has to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong's safety is the whole of her life. Take this lobbying of Zheng Hongkui as an example, Zheng Chenggong has already handed over the truth to her, despite this, the moment Zheng Chenggong pressed the knife on his neck, Makiko Tagawa also hung her heart in her throat, staring at Zheng Chenggong with two eyes, ready to react at any time to ensure that Zheng Chenggong is absolutely safe, she can do it with this certainty.

Taking a step back, if Zheng Hongkui does not agree to Zheng Chenggong's request, or if Zheng Chenggong really commits suicide, she must not live alone in the world. She will definitely kill Zheng Hongkui first, then settle accounts with Zheng Zhilong, and then cut herself, she has already had her own plans.

Now that Zheng Chenggong has finally succeeded, she is of course the happiest.

Next, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui discussed the matter of persuading Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui said: "Success, you know your father's temper best, the things he decided have not changed, he is different from his uncle, this matter is a little tricky." ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded, if it really doesn't work, we have to implement military advice.

"Soldiers?" Zheng Hongkui's eyes widened, and finally nodded. So the two of them began to make preparations, Zheng Chenggong repaired one, sent someone to take a boat back to report to Lin Yi, he and Zheng Hongkui began to prepare to return to Fujing to persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender and accept the matter of the imperial court's recruitment.

Lin Yi, who was thousands of miles away, received Zheng Chenggong's folds, of course, he was overjoyed, he didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to achieve the first step of success so quickly, and he was able to rebel against Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong was also worthy of the trip this time. Because Zheng Hongkui is also one of the leading figures of Zheng Zhilong Group, this person can be regarded as a powerful person in history, and Zheng Zhilong supported Emperor Longwu together, and later followed Zheng Chenggong to walk out of a different path from Zheng Zhilong, and this person was able to return to the Ming Dynasty. It is really a grand event of Daming, and it is of great significance for the disintegration of Zheng Zhilong Group.

Therefore, Shi Lang, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Su Moer and Xing Wanfang all came to congratulate Lin Yi.

Lin Yi immediately issued another order to Gao Guiying and Li Yan, who were far away in western Fujian, to inform them of the matter, so that they would know about it and fully cooperate with Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew's actions.

Gao Guiying and Li Yan received Lin Yi's edict and immediately discussed the military situation with the generals, and in the big tent, in addition to Gao Guiying and Li Yan, Li Dingguo, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Min Min Mutel, and Subutai were all seated.

Gao Guiying and Li Yan divided their troops and sent generals, Zheng Hongkui withdrew all 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Gao Guiying's Ming army pretended to be the Southern Army, and then followed.

At this time, Lin Yi received a report, the young general Liu Guoxuan worshiped the commander, Zheng Zhilong adopted his opinions and suggestions, eliminated the malpractice, and implemented the new policy, Zheng Zhilong recruited talents, recruited troops, and now the southern army has increased its troops in Funing, Liu Guozhuan personally commanded, trained men and horses day and night, and had the potential to compete with the Ming army.

"Liu Guoxuan?" Lin Yi tasted this name, Shi Lang hurriedly introduced the situation of this general to Lin Yi in detail, saying that this person is extraordinary, and the thesis on martial arts is no less than only above him and Zheng Chenggong, not below the two of them, this is one of the five good generals of Zheng Zhilong Group, and Zheng Zhilong's side can fight this person now.

In fact, there was no need for Shi Lang to introduce him, Lin Yi also remembered this person. Historically, Liu Guoxuan and Shi Lang were equally famous, both key figures of the Zheng Group, and later the two generals surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for various reasons, becoming a rare general before Kangxi.

But Liu Guoxuan is different from Shi Lang, Shi Lang first accompanied Zheng Zhilong to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and later followed Zheng Zhilong to the Qing Dynasty, and soon fought against the Qing Dynasty with Zheng Chenggong, and finally fell out with Zheng Chenggong and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

And Liu Guoxuan is different, he is an important general of the Ming Zheng group, although he later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became an important minister before Kangxi, but the first Zheng Zhilong and later Zheng Chenggong Zheng Jing and other generations of the Zheng family, loyalty, especially in Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, expelled the Dutch colonial invaders made great contributions, after Zheng Chenggong's death, the Zheng family entrenched in Taiwan was not as good as the generation, and later the Zheng family infighting, the powerful Liu Guoxuan did not take the opportunity to steal the Zheng family's great cause, seeing that the Zheng family has gone, and the Qing Dynasty has become the unification of the world, The lord of Kangxi was young and promising, and he was a generation of Ming masters, so he attached himself to the Qing Dynasty and became the Guanglu doctor and prince Shaobao of the Qing Dynasty, and became famous, and died in the 32nd year of Kangxi's life.

After Lin Yi figured out Liu Guoxuan's past and present life, he immediately decided to attack Funing with troops.
