Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "Brother Gan is a great general who is both wise and brave, and he looks at the problem to the point.

Also, the transfer of the general to us is actually based on our attitude, if we choose to resist, we will inevitably turn against the court and become anti-thieves and pirates.

The Long Wu Sailor will then go to Fujian to suppress the Kou, which is not only high-sounding, but also leaves us alone.

We chose to go to Liaohai in accordance with the order, and saw that the general of the conquest was respectful and respectful, and the mission was carried out to the letter.

It is said that the general of the conquest has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and the army is strictly governed, and it should not be difficult for us to set up a name for his position. ”

Zheng Zhihu said: "Definitely not, I have heard of the prestige of the general for a long time, and I admire such a heroic man in my heart, big brother, you simply sent me to lead fifty warships north." Don't worry, maybe I can come back with a meritorious promotion! ”

Seeing that Zheng Zhihu was so optimistic, Zheng Zhilong could only smile bitterly, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and he took refuge in the general of the conquest, it is not a problem to save his life, and he can also foresee the addition of officials and knights, but there is no doubt that his independence and autonomy will definitely be lost.

Everything else is false, only independence is the lifeblood, Zheng Zhilong sighed in his heart, independence doesn't matter to other generals or even his brothers Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, etc.

Therefore, these people do not have such consciousness at all, only Zheng Zhilong has the pleasure of giving up power and acting arbitrarily.

The result of the deliberations made Zheng Zhilong discouraged, and his subordinates found that Long Wu Shui Shi was the strong man of the Ming Dynasty, and they all made a wise decision, asking the eldest brother Zheng Zhilong to send fifty warships to Liaohai in accordance with the order.

Zheng Zhilong was not completely convinced, he did not let Zheng Zhihu go alone, but decided to personally lead the fleet to Liaohai with Zheng Zhihu and Gan Hui to have a look, just to see what kind of strength the world-famous general of the conquest had.

The generals who stayed in Fujian included Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhifeng, Hong Xu and so on.

At the beginning of April, Zheng Zhilong's fleet set sail from Xiamen.

Completely contrary to Zheng Zhilong's preoccupations, Zheng Zhihui and Gan Hui were very excited, they thought that it was great to be able to participate in the Battle of Pingliao as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all holding back their energy to make contributions.

Zheng Zhilong is also a scoundrel with the spirit of a scoundrel, he either doesn't do it, and since he does it, he doesn't want to be self-defeating.

Therefore, instead of selecting ships, he took fifty warships with him, and these ships had combat effectiveness no less than the average of the Zheng group.

Zheng Zhilong's warships did not have an external man-driven oars, most of them were rushing ships, three-masted gunboats, and few Xiyi Galen ships, most of them were Junk ships in Xiyi's mouth, and they all used hard sails.

The firmness and sinking resistance of the junk ship was better than that of the Galen ship, but the speed was a notch worse than that of the Xiyi ship with a large number of horn sails and a phoenix face.

After Huang Han opened the golden finger, the old lock ship built in the system mixed Chinese and Western with hard sails and soft sails, and the speed was faster than that of the junk boat.

But half a knot to a knot slower than the Galen ship of the same tonnage.

The advantage of the "Red Banner Army" warship was that it was designed with an oar, which could be more than two knots faster than the Galen ship when fully driven.

Since Zheng Zhilong's fleet also had slower three-masted gunboats, it would be good to maintain an average speed of three knots for the entire fleet. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to reach Liaohai.

The news that the general launched the Pingliao War and led the "Red Banner Army" to defeat the Qing army and seize the capital of the former Korean Kingdom was published in the "Red Flag Daily" and distributed throughout the country.

All the Han people rejoiced, and the newspaper readers in the restaurants and tea shops were always surrounded by listeners, and today's establishments would not be able to retain customers without the newspaper reading service.

The income of newspaper readers is not bad, not only the monthly money provided by the owner of the restaurant and tea shop, but also the customers who listen to the news while drinking give rewards.

Some regular customers have developed the habit of listening to press releases at a fixed time, similar to the viewers who watched the news broadcast on time when the time came in later generations.

The most popular is of course the "Red Flag Daily", although there are also people who can get handwritten copies of the Di Bao of the Ming Dynasty, but no one likes which way of writing.

Everyone likes to listen to the vernacular on the "Red Flag Daily", and even more like the serialized work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" published in it.

The newspaper readers read the contents of the newspaper as a commentary, and they read aloud that Geng Zhongming, one of the Manchu canonized kings of Sanshun, had once again betrayed the Manchus and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, killing three or four thousand Jiannu and Tartars, and then deliberately paused.

The audience was furious, thinking how many innocent people Geng Zhongming's kid killed in Denglai back then? Later, he surrendered to Jiannu and became the traitor king.

Now that he has killed so many Tartars and Jiannu and returned to the Ming Dynasty again, wouldn't he become a high-ranking official and nobleman of the Ming Dynasty again, and there is also the possibility of being knighted!

O God! O earth! Why are you so unjust, and why are those who do bad things not retributed?

Just when everyone listening to the news was scolding his mother, the newspaper reader spoke slowly again, "However, Geng Zhongming's wife was retributed for doing all the bad things, and died suddenly on the way to Jingshi to face the saint." ”

The scolding became louder, but he no longer scolded angrily, but laughed and scolded the newspaper reader for being too immoral, how could there be a reason to pause for so long at a critical point.

Then the newspaper reader continued to read the news he liked to see, telling everyone that the big traitor Zhang Cunren would immediately cut a thousand knives at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Everyone was excited, and the military and civilian eunuchs of the Beijing Division had to take a look, and too many people had prepared spirits and were ready to eat a bite of traitor meat.

The traitor Zhang Cunren not only did not have the good luck of becoming the governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, but after being fooled by Wu Xiang, he had the hope of surviving and gave up the great opportunity to commit suicide by hunger strike.

When he was dismissed, he ate well and raised white and tender, and when the executioner laid the knife, it was simply bloody.

Zhang Cunren, who had been cut for a day, knew that sometimes sudden death was considered good luck, and he was a little envious of Geng Zhongming's fate, Zhang Cunren wanted to die that night but couldn't, and dragged him to the vegetable market the next day to continue to be knifed.

The executioner in charge of the knife is from the East Factory and belongs to the master who has a family heirloom.

He took a fancy to Zhang Cunren's well-maintained skin and flesh, and decided to complete three thousand six hundred knives, not a single knife can be missing, if Zhang Cunren died before this, he would be sorry for the ancestral craftsmanship.

In history, more than one million Han people died indirectly and directly at the hands of Zhang Cunren, and now this poor worm is only a skeleton, and the meat is drunk and eaten alive by the common people of Beijing.

Huang Han was happy to learn that Chongzhen did not exempt Zhang Cunren, but cut this traitor and traitor with a thousand knives.

Settle the account, Shang Kexi did not become a traitor and sacrificed his life for the country, Geng Zhongming was suddenly killed, Wu Sangui became a disabled person with high paraplegia, Zhang Cunren was cut by a thousand knives, and the fate of the seemingly famous traitor was not very good!
