Chapter 417: The Pirate with the Purest Blood
After five years of dormancy, the sailor finally won a big victory over the Zheng family, and no one knows the twists and turns better than Hou Xuanyan.
Ordinary people only knew that as soon as the sailor made a move, the Zheng family was vulnerable, and they never thought that the imperial court had forbearance and retreat for so many years and accumulated strength.
The Zheng clan was driven to Dongfan Island, and although the main force of their naval division was defeated, several leaders still existed. If we don't occupy Dongfan in time and completely eradicate these people, sooner or later there will be a resurgence.
Hou Xuanyan wrote two lines of poetry and sent them to Shi Lang and the three sailors:
It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.
Shi Lang naturally does not have the kindness of a superfluous woman, in fact, Zheng Chenggong has not killed his whole family yet, and he has no hatred for the Zheng family, but Shi Lang knows that the Zheng family's hatred for himself is higher than the sky.
At the beginning, Fuzhou still had a chance to hold on, but after Zheng Zhilong returned to the division, it was not a problem to hold on to Fujian. It's a pity that the person he entrusted was not a person, and Shi Lang Kaicheng surrendered, and the Zheng family completely lost the strength to compete with Hou Xuanyan.
Shi Lang considered that Dongfan Island was a huge island, and the island was full of high mountains, and if the Zheng family was determined to resist, it would be difficult to completely pacify the remnants of the island.
Moreover, if Zheng Zhilong is determined and burns down the arsenal, shipyard, and various buildings on the island, the loss will be great. But the world knows that the contradiction between Hou Xuanyan and Zheng Zhilong is irreconcilable, Shi Lang and Yao Yiyao discussed it with their heads and decided to come up with a compromise plan.
After the sailor landed on Dongfan Island, he let out a message that as long as he was willing to surrender, except for the first evil Zheng Zhilong, everyone else could be spared death, including the rest of the Zheng family.
Zheng Zhilong on the island scolded Shi Lang's ancestors for eighteen generations, and then looked at his relatives and old generals suspiciously, even if there was no rebellion, he looked at it in his heart.
Chichicheng City, also known as Hongmao Castle, is a town built by the Dutch in Taiwan.
This kind of town with low walls and thin cities is simply unable to resist the attack of the Great Ming Water Division.
Zheng Du swept over the faces of the old Zheng family, the fierceness in his eyes flashed, and a bold idea gradually sprouted in his heart.
He first snorted coldly, and then Yue Zhong said: "Recently, Shi Lang, that dog thief, let out a word, saying that whoever is willing to surrender will spare someone's life. I know some of you are eager to try it, but I say that whoever dares to have two hearts will not escape your family. Even if our Zheng family is down, there is no problem in killing someone. Dongfan Island is so big, I don't believe that Shi Lang can knock it down. ”
Zheng Zhilong sighed in his heart, what does this kid mean, his son usually looks very smart, how can he be confused when disaster comes. Didn't these words hit his subordinates even more with their morale and military morale.
Zheng Du then clenched his fists and said, "Father, I am willing to escort the families of all the adults to Kunshan in the back. Whoever dares to give birth to two hearts will never be soft. ”
Zheng Zhilong's face was ugly, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't take back his son's words. I had to pinch my nose and say, "Just act according to this plan, don't despair, Dongfan Island is full of our people, even those wild people in the mountains are also hearted towards us." Shi Lang has more than 20,000 people, and he may not be able to do anything with us. ”
Where is the general next to him willing to believe, but the situation is stronger than people, and the annoying second son actually thought of a poisonous plan to kidnap their families, which made these people hate the root of their teeth and helpless.
Zheng Du was ordered to take his cronies' soldiers and horses, escort the relatives of the Zheng family, and flee to Kunshan.
Not far from Chiji City, Zheng Du stopped his soldiers and horses and chose to camp on the spot.
The subordinate was puzzled: "Second son, it's still early, I've only walked a few steps, do you want to rest?" ”
Zheng Du smiled cruelly: "Do you want you to command me, you said that you are better than me?" ”
"The villain doesn't dare."
After Zheng Du dismounted, he instructed his cronies to take care of the hostages, and he returned to the city with his own soldiers. When he arrived in the city, he stayed for a few hours, and when it was dark, Zheng Du chose to enter the city.
In the red embedded city, Zheng Zhilong had already fallen asleep, and when he saw his second son, he asked, "Du'er, why did you come back?" ”
Zheng Du hugged his fists and said, "Father, I suddenly thought of a clever plan that can allow our Zheng family to continue to survive." ”
Zheng Zhilong came to his senses, sat up and put on a long robe and asked, "Oh? Dad knows that your kid has the best brain, say it quickly, what a clever plan. ”
Zheng Du approached, leaned close to Zheng Zhilong's ear, and said: "As long as I kill you and my eldest brother, I will surrender Shi Lang will definitely accept it, and when the time comes, our Zheng family's incense will never be cut off." And in my hands, I must be able to magnify the lintel of the Zheng family more than you. ”
Zheng Zhilong's heart had already been poked into by a short blade, and blood flowed out.
Zheng Du was afraid that he would scream, so he pierced his father's heart with a knife, and then helped him to the bed and continued to cover the quilt.
Blowing out the candles in the tent, Zheng Du sorted out his armor and walked out calmly. Step into your eldest brother's tent...
That night, Zheng Du killed his father and brother, and then gathered the retainers of the Zheng family, these people's relatives were in their own hands, and when they heard that Zheng Ergongzi killed his father and eldest brother, he wanted to surrender to Ming, and he was in their arms.
Zheng Du was afraid that several of his uncles and brothers would avenge Zheng Zhilong, and ordered these people to kill all those surnamed Zheng. There was a constant wail in the red embedded city, but Zheng Du was unmoved, even though it was his loved ones who died tonight.
The next day, when Shi Lang led his troops to the city of Chichi, Zheng Du took the heads of the family and all the remaining forces of the Zheng family and chose to belong to the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Du took all the heads and retainers of his family, opened the city gate and held high the white flag. Under the red embedded city where the sun was shining, a chill hit people, Shi Lang looked at the familiar Zheng Ergongzi, and could not hide his amazement in his heart. The Zheng family is a pirate family, and all of them are known for being ruthless and vicious, but this second son of Zheng is undoubtedly the best among them. This is the real pirate, the easiest one to survive on the vast sea.
Rao is accustomed to seeing the bloody officers and soldiers of the sailors, and they were all stunned by the viciousness of this guy, how inhuman nature this is. Zheng Du's face was handsome and delicate, and he looked a little bookish, but who would have thought that this handsome young general would look embarrassed.
Shi Lang fulfilled his promise and accepted the surrendered men, as it would allow him to accept all the facilities and wealth of Dongfan Island.
Yao Yiyao was not interested in Zheng Zhilong's ships and weapons, but instead had to leave many craftsmen.
Shi Lang, who was worried about his lion's big mouth, suddenly put his mind at ease, and a few days later, he sent off the Songjiang Sailor and the Denglai Sailor and left Dongfan.
