"Big brother, what do you understand?" Zheng Zhibao hurriedly asked.

Zheng Zhilong said slowly: "This is not a rebel at all, but someone else!" ”

Zheng Zhibao's eyes stared at Zheng Zhilong without blinking: "What person?" ”

Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "Who else can you!" With a large number of sharp muskets, grenades that none of us have, and strict training, and staring at our Zheng family to deal with it quickly, who else can it be? ”

"You're talking about Chen Yue's subordinates?" Zheng Zhibao opened his mouth and stammered, "But, isn't Chen Yue in Beijing with his troops, it is thousands of miles away from Fujian." ”

Zheng Zhilong sneered: "Don't forget that there is an army surnamed Chen across the sea from Quanzhou!" ”

Zheng Zhibao slapped his thigh: "Why didn't I think of it!" Yes, many of the soldiers in the Ainengqi camp are clearly southerners, and I thought they were new thieves in Fujian. However, how did Ainengqi get involved with Chen Yue? ”

Zheng Zhilong said coldly: "How do you get mixed up?" Don't forget that Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, is Chen Yue's person, and Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, is Chen Yue's dogleg. This is clearly stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, pretending to be the elite soldiers from the east as surrendered thieves, and rebelling in the name of Ainengqi. I'm afraid it's going to uproot our Zheng family with the help of Ai Nengqi! ”

"Ahh Zheng Zhibao only turned pale with fright, "Big brother, what should we do?" Or let's escape! We still have sailors, and nearly a thousand sea boats, we can escape from Anping by boat. ”

"What are you panicking about?" Zheng Zhilong reprimanded, "We have been operating in Anping for so many years, and we have countless properties of our family, how easy is it to withdraw, besides, we still have more than 20,000 troops, and the rebels will not be able to enter for a while." ”

"This, this ......" Zheng Zhibao was spinning around the room, not knowing what to do. No one knows better than him about the combat power of Chen Yue's army. When he was in Nanjing, his Qin Wang army was defeated by Chen Yue, and recently he couldn't even catch a face. If the rebels outside the city attacked, would they be able to hold peace with their 20,000 men?

And Zheng Zhilong was still analyzing: "No, the destruction of the Zheng family is probably not Chen Yue's whole purpose, Chen Yue now has a heavy army, more than half of the army in the world is in his hands, and he has just defeated Manchu to recover Beijing, and his prestige in the Ming Dynasty is unparalleled for a while." At this time, His Majesty woke up and wanted to seize power from Princess Kunxing, and the next step would definitely be to cut off the military power in Chen Yue's hands.

Chen Yue was definitely unwilling to hand over the power in his hands, and maybe he still wanted to usurp the Ming dynasty with the army in his hand. That's why I rebelled in the name of Ai Nengqi, and destroying our Zheng family is only the first step, and I am afraid that the rebels will attack Zhejiang from Fujian in the next step.

You also know how strong the rebels are, how can the Ming army in Zhejiang resist? When the rebels invade Zhejiang and threaten Jiangdong, I am afraid that His Majesty will have to order Chen Yue to return to the division to quell the rebellion. And when Chen Yue led the army back, it was also the time when he usurped the power of the Ming Dynasty on the side of the Qing monarch.

Awesome, fucking awesome! Zheng Zhilong muttered an analysis, his voice full of frustration.

"Big brother, you're right, but what should we do?" Zheng Zhibao said helplessly.

"What to do? Seeing that this posture is peaceful, we must transfer our family members and the wealth in the city to Xiamen as soon as possible. Zheng Zhilong said slowly: "The rebels are powerful, but they don't have a water division, as long as we leave Anping, they will be helpless." ”

Zheng Zhibao said: "Big brother, I'll arrange it!" After speaking, he hurriedly left, and now Zheng Zhibao has been killed.

And Zheng Zhilong was still sighing, feeling that Chen Yue was amazing. From a pirate to a provincial army dominating the southeast, a family of three counts, Zheng Zhilong has always been very proud. But looking at Chen Yue again, Zheng Zhilong's heart was full of frustration.

Soon, he had to retreat from Anping and return to sea again. Although relying on the strength in hand, there is no problem in occupying Xiamen and Kinmen and other islands in the sea. But is there any chance of returning to shore? If Chen Yue really grasped the power of the imperial court, how could the Zheng family, who had lost its foundation, be his opponent? I'm afraid I'll have to become a pirate again!

And just when the Zheng Zhilong brothers were preparing to retreat from Anping, Chen Mo outside the city was also ready to attack the city.

Nearly 20,000 captives were organized as cannon fodder for the siege.

The captives were divided into groups of thousands, each carrying sacks full of earth and rock, and the work of filling in the trenches was carried out. One by one, under the threat of firearms, knives and guns, they ran towards the moat, and as long as they could go back and forth three times, they would be qualified to live.

Seeing the brothers in the former army swarming under the coercion of the rebels, the soldiers of the Zheng family army at the head of Anping City hesitated, although they had to open their bows and arrows under the coercion of the officers, and they did not wait for the guns to shoot, but in the end, they were brothers in the army, and many people could not bear to do it to their own people.

"Damn, let go of the arrows, no one will survive if the rebels enter the city!" Shi Fu Zheng Lian and other generals patrolled the city, coercing their subordinates to open bows and arrows.

Under the fire of the Zheng Jiajun in the city, the captives suffered heavy casualties, and countless people fell on the way to the moat.

Seeing one captive after another dying under the rain of arrows at the head of the city, even Chen Mo couldn't bear it, so he had to send thousands of firecrackers to form in front of the moat, and use firecrackers to fire a volley at the head of the city to cover the prisoners' trench filling work.

The guns of the Eastern Fan Army were naturally extremely sharp, and the defenders at the head of Anping City were shot and did not dare to show their heads, and the work of filling the trenches went extremely smoothly, and in one morning, a section of trenches more than 20 zhang wide was filled. However, as many as 2,000 prisoners died under the arrows of the defenders.

"Big brother, the trench has been filled, and the rebels are about to attack the city!" Zheng Zhibao rushed into the room in a panic.

"What are you panicking about? Where is it so easy to get in! How's the retreat going? Zheng Zhilong reprimanded.

"My sister-in-law and several nephews have been sent to the ship. But there are many other family members, as well as the silver and grain in the city, and other wealth that have not yet had time to move. Zheng Zhibao replied.

The Zheng family has been rampant at sea for more than ten years and has accumulated countless wealth, and it is impossible to transport it away in a short time.

"You continue to organize the evacuation of the people, mainly to evacuate the family, and as for the silver, it will be left behind. I'll go up to the city to organize a defense and buy time for the retreat! Zheng Zhilong commanded.

"Yes, big brother!" Zheng Zhibao went out in a panic.

"Hmph, if you want to break through Lao Tzu's Anping City, where is it so easy, Lao Tzu will break a few teeth surnamed Chen first!" Zheng Zhilong carried his sword and walked towards the city wall with a brisk walk.
