In the cabin, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai sat opposite each other, only two meters five or six wide, and there was indeed a boat more than ten meters long swaying, and the horse lantern light above their heads dimmed from time to time, making several people in the cabin feel high and low, swaying.

A voice reported loudly, "According to the intelligence of the day before yesterday, the Qing army sent Shi Fu and a group of fine workers to infiltrate Quanzhou Mansion in an attempt to rebel against Zheng Hongkui, after a period of open and secret fighting, Xi Zuo learned from the eunuchs and others sent by the Longwu Imperial Court that Zheng Hongkui has turned against each other, in order to avoid being killed, our personnel quickly retreated, most of the personnel have retreated to the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army outside the city of Quanzhou Mansion, but there are still a small number of personnel left there, and the situation is now unknown. ”

Zheng Taidao: "Lord, do you really want to save Zheng Hongkui?" If he is like this, it is estimated that the imperial court will be unhappy, and the Jinhua Righteous Army is estimated to be unhappy as well. ”

Zheng Chenggong sighed helplessly, "Anyway, it's my father's former brother, he used to take care of and help us before, although we have many disagreements in the Longwu Imperial Court, but I can't watch him perish, I have to go to explain it." As for whether he can save him, it depends on his luck. ”

Hula - a gust of wind came, the whole hull swayed even more, as if the person was about to fall to the side, the boat was about to capsize, just corrected the balance of the body, the boat tilted sharply to the other side, the whole person suddenly lost his balance, can only lie down.

A big wave hit, the sound of ticking water sounded overhead, and the big wave that hit the ship almost swept the entire hull, sweeping the sailors above, and these sailors were also begging for a living at sea all the year round, and they were experienced, and each time they were cleverly avoided in advance, so no one fell into the water.

Above the rocking mast, a sailor himself tied himself to the mast and looked out at the sea in the monstrous night of the big waves.

"There is a ship southwest of the bow, the type of ship is unknown, be vigilant." The sailor shouted at the deck of the ship more than a dozen meters below.

"There is a ship southwest of the bow, the type of ship is unknown, be vigilant." The sailor below, who was adjusting the soft sails of the sailboat, quickly conveyed his words.

"To the southwest of the bow, there is a ship, the type of ship is unknown, all the personnel are ready for battle," shouted the captain in the bow.

Zheng Tai glanced up at the top deck of the ship and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Lord, it seems that Zheng Hongkui is in danger there, and we will have to reach Quanzhou Mansion in a day." ”

Zhou Quanbin next to him said: "Is it useful for us to go?" Just a few of us, if Zheng Hongkui has evil intentions, catches us, and then sacrifices it to the Tartars, aren't we throwing ourselves into the net? ”

Zheng Tai seemed to stop talking.

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand indifferently, "Of course I won't go alone, General Xiao Fei is in Fuzhou, let him accompany us when the time comes, I heard that the Jinhua Righteous Army has newly reorganized the troops, and the reorganized troops are all elite, Xiao Fei took such an elite army, plus the troops he led before, at least to more than 10,000 troops, and Counselor Zhou Congee who has been stationed near Quanzhou Mansion, he has 20,000 people, including a naval division of soldiers, and a reorganized Jinhua Volunteer Army unit that is as elite as General Xiao Fei, I don't think Governor Zhang will let us get into danger easily, we are his most important allies, so we will definitely lend us troops. ”

Zhou Quanbin frowned unhappily when he heard this, "Lord, the Jinhua Righteous Army is too strong, we have to be on guard, I heard that General Yu Xing and General Liu Guoxuan are very close to him, and General Huang Yan is also friendly with them, and cooperates with them to borrow a lot of people who have immigrated to us to farm for them and open up wasteland, if this continues, we will be eaten by the Jinhua Righteous Army sooner or later, people have no intention of hurting the tiger, but we have to beware of the wild attack of the tiger, hurting people——"

Zheng Chenggong lowered his head and groaned, looking at Gan Hui looking at the top of the deck, tilting his head slightly, "Gan Hui, what do you think?" ”

Gan Hui immediately said: "I will kill whoever the lord asks me to kill, and I will beat whoever the lord beats." ”

Zhou Quanbin nodded, Zheng Tai didn't speak, his eyes swept to the people in the dim cabin, and Zheng Chenggong was the one who looked at him the most.

Zheng Chenggong did not comment on Gan Hui's words, but continued to bow his head and ponder.

"It's our boat, ready to get closer, get the gangplank." There was a shout overhead, mixed with the sound of the howling sea breeze.

The wind tightened, and the three people sent out by Zheng Chenggong to lobby Zheng Hongkui were soaked, like chickens in soup, and when they climbed on the boat, the leader knelt down in front of Zheng Chenggong and others who came out to greet him, "My lord, my humble position is humiliating to my mission, and I didn't persuade Zheng Ye to join us, but instead lost my soldiers and horses, and fled back in embarrassment, please punish the lord." ”

Zheng Chenggong helped him up, "You did a good job, tell me about the situation in Quanzhou Mansion in detail." ”

"Yes, my lord."

In the dark night, Wei Wuji immediately stepped on, looking at the blazing Quanzhou Mansion City, with nearly 30,000 soldiers by his side.

Listen to the messenger sent by Zhou Congee to tell about the situation in the city.

"Are you saying that Zheng Hongkui first killed his generals, then stormed our military camp, and then they fought with another group of men and horses, and now Quanzhou Mansion is out of control?" He asked.

"It's Lord Admiral." The messenger replied.

Wei Wuji turned his head to Xiao Fei beside him and said, "You lead two field brigades, the 5th and 8th brigades to attack Zhangzhou Mansion, and I will take the 1st and 2nd brigades, as well as the troops directly under the brigade headquarters to deal with Quanzhou Mansion,"

Xiao Fei arched his hand and said, "It's Lord Admiral." ”

He is a general soldier, a general soldier who has just been promoted, of course, he has to listen to the words of Wei Wuji, the speaker of the joint council of admirals who has been promoted to a high position.

"What about Fuzhou?" He asked.

"Fuzhou and Quanzhou Mansions are managed by Ruan Jin, and Counselor Zhou is Prime Minister Civil Affairs and Counselor Military Affairs, these are the words of your lordship."

"Yes, the subordinates will carry it out." Xiao Fei turned his horse's head and took the troops of a brigade he brought, as well as the former Jinhua Volunteer Army, and now this army is exhausted, leaving only some low-level soldiers, and some soldiers from the newly transferred militia units, guarding the place, it is still okay to guard the place.

Zhang Qiang is ready to leave these troops eliminated by the original Jinhua Righteous Army in the future, and all of them will remain in the newly beaten places as garrison troops, perhaps these garrison troops will be more underground than the garrison troops in the core area of the Jinhua Righteous Army that have been reorganized and supplemented several times, and the weapons and equipment will be inferior, mainly cold weapons, but they are used to suppress the squires and Haoqiang who have resisted in the newly defeated places, and even against the green battalion of the Qing army, the Han army flag has the power to fight.

Because they are the main force of the Jinhua Righteous Army that has experienced the war.

In this way, the Jinhua Righteous Army tightened the noose of the Zheng Hongkui Department step by step, and it was time to harvest the enemy's life, originally with Zhang Qiang's idea, if Zheng Hongkui did not fall to the Qing army, he could still let Zheng Hongkui exist for a while in the face of Longwu, but since the Qing army couldn't wait to do things on the territory he wanted, and finally wanted to let the Longwu court fall, or the main target was the Jinhua Righteous Army, then Zhang Qiang couldn't keep his hands.

The Qing army is not strong in this area, and it is completely in a situation where rats go to the streets and everyone shouts and fights, so they still want to come to find death, so Zhang Qiang is not welcome.
