Chapter XXII

Compared with Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui is a little more loyal to Daming.

However, Zheng Hongkui moved to Tianjin, Nanzhili, and also saw the virtues of the Ming generals, rather than taking money and deliberately letting go of the Liukou, cooperating with the Liukou and looting the place. The lower limit of what he can accept for this kind of thing is not high.

Zheng Hongkui also understands his eldest brother's mind better. Knowing that his big brother was moved. Once Zheng Zhilong decides something, he can't persuade him, so he can only say: "Let the eldest brother decide." ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "This Zhang Xuan can't help but think too well, thinking that I, Zheng Zhilong, am so easy to handle? The talk is to be discussed, but it is also necessary to let Zhang Xuan know that the surname Zheng is in the sea. ”

"Fauson." Zheng Zhilong said: "What has that Ruan Jin been doing recently? ”

"In the collection of civilian ships, gathered in Xiangshan Port, Dinghai two places." Zheng Sen said.

"Dinghai is too close to Jiaomen Mountain." Zheng Zhilong said: "That is Xiangshan Port. Tell the order to go down and get everyone ready to fight. ”

Zheng Sen was a little puzzled and said, "Since my father wants to talk to Cao Ying, why do you want to fight Xiangshan?" ”

"Fusong, fighting and negotiation are one, only when you fight well, in the negotiation, can you be more confident." Zheng Hongkui said, he turned around, and asked Zheng Zhilong again: "But I don't know what the eldest brother is going to talk to Cao Ying?" ”

Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while and said: "He wants to stop the war, stop it all, it's not easy to explain to the road supervisor, but some prefectures and counties don't want to fight, but it's okay, let him set out some places and leave some tacit understanding with each other." ”

Fundamentally, Zheng Zhilong still wants to negotiate with each other.

After all, the fight is for the imperial court, and the benefits negotiated are his own, where is light and which is important, Zheng Zhilong naturally has a difference in his heart.

Xiangshan Port is in the south of Ningbo, in a long and narrow waterway, this narrow waterway, now called Xiangshan Port. However, at that time, such a long waterway could not be used, and the Xiangshan Port at this time referred to a bay where this waterway turned out.

The waterways here are complex, and there are many places where forts can be arranged. In Nguyen Jin's view, it is advantageous to use it for defense. Therefore, when the power of the water division is still relatively weak, it is a good way to escape from the Zheng water master here first.

It's just that he never thought that the Zheng family would come so quickly and so fiercely, Zheng Zhilong said he would do it, he mobilized the Zheng family's sailors, and then mobilized Zhang Mingzhen, Wang Zhiren's troops to storm Xiangshan Port.

Such a big move mobilized almost the entire Zhoushan troops.

The one guarding this place is none other than Wang Jincai.

Wang Jincai's headquarters has 3,000 people, all of whom are the elite of Zhang Xuan's department, even if the enemy is strong, but Wang Jincai can also hold Xiangshan County

, and even divided the troops to go out, stationed in Chenshan Town, the two sides are in a corner of the trend, coupled with the military discipline of the official army, the people have also defected to Wang Jincai, these two places can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen attacked a few times, but they couldn't attack, so they gave up.

But Zheng Zhilong did not fight well on land, but Xiangshan Port fought much more smoothly.

At the head of Xiangshan City, Wang Jincai from a distance could see the raging fire rising into the sky, almost illuminating the entire sky, and Ruan Jin stumbled, a little lost his soul.

Wang Jincai was also very sympathetic when he saw this, what else could the fire over there be, naturally it was ships, a large number of ships, that is, the civilian ships that Ruan Jin had recruited during this period of time.

It can be said that during this period of time, all Ruan Jin's efforts have been in vain.

"General Ruan, cheer up." Wang Jincai said: "Now that this is the case, you have to find a way to deal with the aftermath." ”

Ruan Jin said in despair: "In my early years, my family told me my fortune, saying that I was destined to be jealous. Sure enough, when things come to this place, what am I good about? ”

Wang Jincai smiled slightly and said, "But it's not." ”

Ruan Jin suddenly thought that this Wang Jin was the old man of Cao Ying, and he was also the subordinate of his boss's cronies, and said secretly: "This General Wang, it seems that there is a way." He immediately said: "Please also ask General Wang for guidance." ”

Wang Jincai smiled slightly, this period of time, Wang Jincai is not very good, Cao Zongyu was promoted before Wang Jincai, can Wang Jincai understand? Zhang Xuan and Cao Zongyu are as good as one person, Cao Zongyu, as Zhang Xuan's number one subordinate, does not promote him, who to promote.

But as soon as Xu Du surrendered, he was in a high position, and Wang Jincai could also understand that if he wanted to recover the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, he had to have an example. And there is a white-headed army behind Xu Du.

But Deng He fought a beautiful battle before, and Wang Jincai inevitably had some sense of urgency in his heart.

He knew that his current status in Zhang Xuan's heart was not as important as Deng He.

It was inevitable that he couldn't sit still in his heart, although in today's battle, Wang Jin knew that the reason for the defeat was not here, but for the impression in Zhang Xuan's heart, he thought of some other ways.

Wang Jincai said: "I have followed General Zhang for many years, and I still know General Zhang well, if you are a person in the Runing army, I can say this, it depends on your battle today, and there will be no drama in the future." General Zhang may not want your life, but sitting on a cold bench is inevitable, and isn't there a shortage of officials in the whole of Jiangnan now? Maybe, I will give you a county official to be a county official, and I won't care about you in the future. ”

"This is the way the old people in the camp deal with it. After all, there was no merit and hard work at the beginning? ”

Ruan Jin felt slightly relieved when he heard this, and thought, "It's not bad to have a county official." ”

At the time of creation, the military generals were heavy, in Cao Ying

In the system, many county officials are demoted, so these county officials may not even dare to speak hard words even if they have a sentry chief.

In Wang Jincai's opinion, a county official is already very low, but in Ruan Jin's heart, it is different.

Ruan Jin was just a fisherman before, and he didn't even have the qualifications to see the county officials, but now that he is the county official, he is already satisfied. It was only when I heard the end that my heart was cold.

Because he understands very well that he is not an old man in Zhang Xuan's camp.

"Lord Wang, what do you think General Zhang will do with me?" Ruan Jin said.

"Look at how you deal with the aftermath." Wang Jincai said: "Now there is a lack of sailor generals in the army, so General Zhang will not give up on you easily, but since you took office, you haven't even won a battle, so how can General Zhang believe that you are a sailor general?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jin was stunned.

Ruan Jin woke up like a dream, and immediately touched his body all over again, and found an ingot of gold, which should have been two or three taels, and stuffed it to Wang Jincai.

Wang Jincai weighed it and secretly disliked it. After entering Jiangnan, Wang Jincai's pocket increased exponentially. I can't look down on these taels of gold for a long time. But Ruan Jin is really shy, he has a lot of oil and water as a fisherman, but it is all scraped out of the hands of fishermen, and he can't bear to scrape.

If he had endured it, there would not have been so many fishermen following him now.

This ingot of gold is still among the ships that have been requisitioned this time, and the oil and water have been shaved.

"Forget it, make a good fate." Wang Jincai said secretly in his heart. He put away the gold and said, "You should go to Ningbo immediately, go to the adult side to report in person, and when you come, take all the fault on yourself and ask the adult for the guilt." This is an attitude that cannot be wrong. Second, you must make it clear how you lost this battle and how the officers and troops fought, especially where you lost and why you lost. The general called this a review. At this time, it depends on your ability, if you can't say it clearly, or the general is not satisfied, then I can't do anything. But you have satisfied the general, coupled with the lack of sailors now, your punishment is indispensable, but you can make meritorious contributions. ”

Ruan Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said:

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ruan Jin said.

"Go ahead, without further ado." Wang Jincai said. By the way, Wang Jincai's responsibility will also be shouldered.

After all, in a lost battle, Wang Jincai, as an important commander, will naturally not be innocent and innocent, and he has no responsibility at all.

Ruan Jin's heart of fame was quite prosperous, and after listening to Wang Jincai's words, he actually ventured to the sea and crossed the waterway of Xiangshan Port, which was infested with officials and soldiers.

Then go ashore and hurry up. It only took one night to come to the city of Ningbo, and the news of the defeat of Xiangshan Port almost reached Zhang Xuan.
