Seeing that although Wei Zhongxian had a bitter face, but with a determined posture, Cui Chengxiu and Huang Liji could only secretly smile bitterly and began to think about how to implement Wei's father-in-law's idea.
"Duke, do you know that the recent cabinet has not been yellowed?"
Thinking of the cabinet's current slack in government, Huang Liji's heart suddenly lit up.
Ding Shaoshi, the first assistant of the cabinet, is seriously ill, and he doesn't know if he can be relieved. The cabinet is about to change its head again.
Wouldn't it be the best choice for such an offending policy to find someone from the cabinet who has the blame.
"Hmph," Wei Zhongxian snorted heavily, and then said in a gloomy voice: "Is your cabinet too busy lately, and you can't even take care of sticking to the yellow, and the miscellaneous family also sent back a few books about Fujian today."
The miscellaneous family is thinking about whether to find a few more helpers for you? ”
Only then did he bring back the Fujian recital.
Hearing the news, Huang Liji had a smile on his face.
Today's cabinet is Gu Bingqian on duty. When Gonggong Wei called back, Gu Bingqian would definitely re-paste the yellow.
Great, this back-handed man is really looking for just right.
"The Governor is really far-reaching. High, really high! ”
While patting Wei Zhongxian's ass, Huang Liji excitedly approached Wei Zhongxian and muttered quietly.
With Huang Liji's words, Wei Zhongxian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Yes, the courtiers donating such an offending thing, Wei Zhongxian doesn't want to bear it all alone, it would be best to find a suitable backstabber.
Sneeze.
Gu Bingqian, who was yellowing the recital, suddenly sneezed, and Gu Bingqian, who felt a little chilled all over, looked at the sky outside the window.
Outside the window, the sky seemed to be overcast.
Taiwan
Zheng Zhilong, who stirred up the storm on the Ming Sea, didn't know how much trouble he had brought to Wei Zhongxian. Zheng Zhilong was staring at the little man Lin Tu for a long time and did not speak.
Zheng Zhilong never thought that this little forest, who was not tall, would now become so ruthless and bloodthirsty.
What to do with him?
Zheng Zhilong, who should have been happy after winning the battle, scratched his head a little in his heart.
Zheng Zhilong led Eighteen Zhi to officially start a war with the Ming Dynasty at the end of the sixth year of the Apocalypse.
Zheng Zhilong did not directly attack Xiamen, where Xu Xinsu was located, and he cunningly chose to attack Zhangpu County, Fujian Province as the first battle after the formation of the Eighteen Zhi.
Zheng Zhilong, who was born in the Quanzhou Mansion, knows everything about the Ming Dynasty's defense in Zhangpu County. This made it very easy for Shibazhi to defeat the Ming army stationed in Zhangpu and occupy the county seat of Zhangpu.
Being able to easily occupy the county seat of Daming greatly shocked the morale of the pirates of Eighteen Zhi, and also made the leaders of Eighteen Zhi truly recognize Zheng Zhilong's command.
However, occupying Zhangpu County is not Zheng Zhilong's real purpose, Zheng Zhilong's real purpose is Xu Xinsu in Xiamen.
Xiamen's Xu Xinsu is not easy to deal with. As the second-in-command of Li Dan Group, Xu Xinsu has been rooted in Xiamen for many years, and his foundation in Xiamen is originally strong and abnormal.
After Xu Xinsu chose Tiexin to join the Ming Dynasty, he first presented tens of thousands of taels of silver to Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian.
After receiving Xu Xinsu's heavy gift, Yu Zhigao not only promised to shelter Xu Xinsu, but also generously gave Xu Xinsu a water master general official body.
Relying on this official body, Xu Xinsu, who has a deep net worth, can now completely control Xiamen.
According to the news from Zheng Zhilong, Lu Yuying, a guerrilla in Kinmen, not far from Xiamen, has had a very close relationship with Xu Xinsu for many years.
If Zheng Zhilong directly attacked Xiamen, he would have to directly face the counterattack of the three forces of Xu Xinsu, Lu Yuying, and Yu Zhigao.
As long as Xu Xinsu, who has strong foreign aid, holds Xiamen steadily, then Shibazhi is in danger of being surrounded by Lu Yuying and Yu Zhigao. In this way, how dare Zheng Zhilong directly attack Xiamen.
What's more, Zheng Zhilong knew very well in his heart that no matter what, Eighteen Zhi's first battle must not be defeated. If the first battle was defeated, then with his prestige Zheng Zhilong, it would be difficult to suppress the other leaders of Eighteen Zhi. The newly formed Eighteen Zhi Iron will definitely fall apart and will never be put together again.
Facing Xu Xinsu, who was protected by the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, Zheng Zhilong's thinking was very clear. To beat Xu Xinsu, he must first mobilize the Ming army before he can have any hope of victory.
The capture of Zhangpu County was the first step for Zheng Zhilong to mobilize the Ming army.
Therefore, when the rest of Shibazhi was still immersed in the success of capturing Zhangpu County, Zheng Zhilong left Lin Tu to attack and harass the villages and towns along the coast of Zhangpu to expand the influence of Shibazhi in capturing Zhangpu to attract the attention of the Ming army, but he personally led Taiwan's direct fleet to attack Kinmen.
Zheng Zhilong wants to attack the Ming army in Kinmen again.
Zheng Zhilong's plan went well.
The Ming troops in Fujian, who received the news of the capture of Zhangpu by Shibazhi, moved in the direction of Zhangpu one after another.
The Ming army didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong would attack Jinmen next.
The unsuspecting Kinmen guerrilla Lu Yuying was still gathering troops to rescue Zhangpu, but he was caught off guard by the raiding Zheng Zhilong.
Lu Yuying, who suffered heavy losses, relied on the Ming army's walled city defense of Kinmen to barely hold Kinmen. However, Kinmen's ships were burned by Zheng Zhilong, and the Ming army of Kinmen had no ability to mobilize.
Yu Zigao was transferred from Zhangpu, Lu Yuying was defeated in Kinmen, and Xu Xinsu's two foreign aides in Xiamen were cut off by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong's opportunity to plan an attack on Xiamen finally appeared.
Zheng Zhilong, who saw the opportunity, did not stay in Kinmen for long, and took advantage of the momentum of the great victory to lead the fleet to attack Xiamen.
It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong's good luck has completely run out at this point.
Zheng Zhilong attacked Zhangpu and Jinmen, but failed to mobilize Xu Xinsu's troops. Upon learning of the attacks on Zhangpu and Kinmen, Xu Xinsu instead strengthened his defenses against Xiamen.
And Zheng Zhilong's side, after capturing Zhangpu County, plundered the other leaders of Eighteen Zhi. When Zheng Zhilong began to attack Xiamen, except for his direct fleet, no one from the Eighteen Zhi people rushed to help him.
Under these circumstances, Zheng Zhilong made a slight attack on Xiamen, and found that there was no chance of victory, so he categorically ordered the evacuation.
Although he failed to capture Xiamen and defeat Xu Xinsu, Zheng Zhilong did not feel regretful. This time, the Eighteen Zhi were able to capture Zhangpu and defeat the Ming army in Kinmen, which was already a rare victory for the heroes on the sea.
You must know that since the Ming Dynasty quelled the Japanese rebellion in the Longqing Year and opened the sea in Yuegang, the sea heroes have not been able to capture the county seat of Daming.
With this victory in hand, Zheng Zhilong's prestige among the maritime heroes has been greatly enhanced. His voice in the Eighteen Zhili has also been greatly expanded. These gains have made Zheng Zhilong very satisfied.
What's more, with Xu Xinsu in front of him, Zheng Zhilong had enough time to slowly seek to completely control Eighteen Zhi into his own hands, and then become the king of the Ming Sea like Li Dan.
