Chapter 957: Zuo Maodi arrived in Fuzhou

Ladder sieges are often the most tragic battles, and the besieging side will pay a lot of sacrifices and often cannot break the city.

Seeing that the rebels who were finally persecuted had to join the ants to attack the city and enter their own rhythm, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed. In order to deal with the siege of the rebels, he ordered to collect dozens of iron pots of vegetable oil and tung oil in the whole city, and the cauldron was erected on the city wall, the flames were burning, and the oil in the pot was boiling.

Many soldiers with iron forks and spears waited for the rebels to emerge from the ladder.

However, before the defenses laid out on the city could be deployed, countless black dots were thrown up from under the city, rolling on the city walls, and making violent explosions.

In an instant, countless pieces of iron flew on the city wall, the smoke filled the city, the iron pot was blown over, the hot oil splashed everywhere, and the defenders at the head of the city let out a scream.

......

Push forward a few days.

Off the coast of Fuzhou, a huge fleet sailed from the blue sea in the north and gradually approached the harbor of Min'an Town.

On the shore of the port, Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, and Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, were looking forward to it, and when they saw the fleet that finally appeared, the two looked at each other and smiled.

One after another, seagoing ships sailed into the harbor, lowered their sails and dropped their anchors far from the coast, and more and more ships were in the wide harbor.

A wave-breaking boat lined up, quickly sailed towards the wharf, and stopped against the pier trestle that stretched far into the sea, and the first to come down was an officer wearing the uniform of the general soldier, which was Lu Tai, the chief soldier of the Zhoushan Water Division.

"I've seen the Overseer!" Lu Tai led a few of his men across the trestle bridge, went to the coast, and saluted Wang Yin with a fist.

"Mr. Lu came from afar, it's really hard!" Wang Yin said with a smile.

"One hundred and fifty sea ships, including five Galen warships and thirty-eight three-masted sea ships, and 20,000 soldiers from Lu Tai to the next are all under the dispatch of the Governor!" Lu Tai said solemnly towards Wang Yin.

More than 100 large sea ships have been dispatched here by Wuping's Shandong Naval Division, Chongming's Yangtze River Naval Division, and most of the Zhoushan Naval Division.

"Traitors are raging, Ainengqi is leading the rebels to attack Quanzhou, our task is to block the sea off Fujian, prevent Ainengqi from crossing the sea to attack Liangguang, and cooperate with the Ming army on land to eliminate all the rebels!" Wang Yin said sternly.

"May only the Master of the Governor be the first to look forward!"

......

Ships loaded with grain, vegetables and water sailed from the Min River into the sea, heading for the big ships in the harbor to replenish the fleet.

The next day, Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, boarded the ship, and the fleet re-anchored and set sail, heading along the coast in the direction of Quanzhou. Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, took people back to Fuzhou by boat.

A team of men and horses marched outside the city of Fuzhou to report the news of the arrival of the new governor to the city.

When Qian Fenglin heard the news, he hurriedly took the civil and military officials of Fuzhou out of the city gate to welcome the arrival of the new superintendent Zuo.

"Governor Qian, I don't know where Inspector Wang is?" Zuo Maodi looked at the welcoming crowd and asked Qian Fenglin.

"Back to Lord Zuo, the Ainengqi traitors attacked Quanzhou, and Inspector Wang was so worried that he personally led the fleet to rescue Quanzhou." Qian Fenglin said calmly.

knew that he was coming, but Wang Yin hid out, which made Zuo Maodi very painful. He was ordered by Chongzhen to come to replace Wang Yin to supervise the southeast, and there was a holy decree from Chongzhen to take Wang Yinsuo back to Beijing to ask for guilt. Now that Wang Yin has hid on the boat, let alone taking down Wang Yin, it is not even easy to carry out the normal handover of the duties of the superintendent.

"Let's go to the city!" Zuo Maodi said lightly.

Qian Fenglin welcomed Zuo Mao's first line into Fuzhou City, and prepared to place him in the pavilion, and had not yet handed over the governor's rights and responsibilities.

"Go to the superintendent!" Zuo Maodi glanced at Qian Fenglin deeply and commanded.

In desperation, Qian Fenglin could only welcome Zuo Maodi into the superintendent's line. Seeing that all the officials in Fuzhou City were present, Zuo Maodi immediately began to read out the holy decree, dismissed Wang Yin from his official position, and announced that he would replace Wang Yin as the governor of the southeast.

After the officials visited, Zuo Maodi's first order was to send people to the sea to chase the fleet, and ordered Wang Yin to return to Fuzhou immediately.

Then, Zuo Maodi invited Qian Fenglin into the secret room alone and had a conversation.

"Governor Qian, do you think the Hengshan Guild will accept the order to return to Fuzhou?" Zuo Maodi asked.

Qian Fenglin smiled and shook his head: "As a scholar, the Duke of Hengshan supervises the southeast, so he will naturally obey the holy decree of the imperial court. However, the sea is very stormy, and it is difficult to say whether the chasing ships you sent to catch up can catch up. ”

Zuo Maodi nodded slightly, naturally knowing the meaning of Qian Fenglin's words in his heart, Wang Yin led the fleet in the sea, if he didn't want to, the ships he sent would naturally not be able to "catch up", the wind and waves in the sea were strong, and the ships sent were destroyed.

"What about you, Governor Qian? Why didn't you go on board with Yokoyama? Zuo Maodi asked lightly.

Qian Fenglin said: "The rebels are fierce and are attacking the city. As the superintendent, Yokoyama has the responsibility of suppressing bandits, while the subordinate officer, as the governor, has to sit in the rear when the superintendent leads the army to ensure the supply of military supplies. ”

"Ai Nengqi had already accepted the appeasement, but suddenly rebelled again, and in a short period of time, he was able to defeat the whole Yanping Mansion, enter Quanzhou, and have the potential to sweep the whole of Fujian, but the officers and soldiers of Fujian were defeated one after another, and let the rebels attack the city, Governor Qian, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Qian Fenglin looked up at Zuo Mao for the first time, and then lowered his head: "My lord, you have also seen it all the way, the imperial court ordered the officials and troops of the provinces to withdraw, and the officials and troops of Fujian were already hit hard when they were weak, and Ai Nengqi suddenly rebelled, and it was normal for the officers and soldiers to be unable to resist." ”

Seeing that Qian Fenglin's answer was not leaky, Zuo Maodi was depressed in his heart, and he was ordered to come in order to succeed Wang Yin and quickly suppress Ai Nengqi. But along the way, the news I received was too weird. The strangeness of Ainengqi's rebellion, and the fact that the city was conquered so quickly was even more strange, as well as the actions of Wang Yin, Qian Fenglin and others, after the rebels rebelled, the officers and soldiers in Fujian did not take any effective suppressive measures at all, Wang Yin did not even mobilize troops to resist, and let the rebels attack the city all the way, and there was no resistance at all where they passed.

Is this still the same Wang Yin who mobilized the troops of the four provinces to encircle and suppress more than 200,000 western thieves and forced Ai Nengqi to surrender? How could he have made such a low-level mistake? And when he was about to arrive in Fuzhou, he got on a sea ship and left Fuzhou, obviously to abscond in fear of crime.

All of this means that there is a deep conspiracy behind this. But Qian Fenglin refused to say anything, and Zuo Maodi was helpless.

However, on the third day of his arrival in Fuzhou, a messenger suddenly came to Fuzhou from Quanzhou on a fast horse, bringing Zheng Zhilong's secret letter.
