Quanzhou Mansion, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but snort coldly after reading the letter in his hand, and then threw it aside, and said to the person who sent the letter: "Ben Hou still thinks how powerful Wang Shiheng is, the eldest brother just used a little trick, and he rolled out of Fujing in a gray way, with such an ability, and he wants Ben Hou to apologize to Qi, it's just a fool's dream." ”

When the person who sent the letter heard this, he said: "Third master, the eldest master said, Wang Shiheng's soldiers and horses in his hands can't be underestimated, you must not underestimate the enemy!" ”

"A group of beggars without even armor, what's so scary? Big brother is too cautious! Zheng Zhibao waved his hand and said: "Then go back first and inform Grandpa Guo that Ben Hou will handle this matter properly, so that he doesn't have to worry!" ”

Seeing Zheng Zhibao's attitude, the person who sent the letter couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, he was an old man in Zheng Mansion and a confidant of Zheng Zhilong, for this plan to force Wang Yan out of Fujing, he participated in the whole process, and naturally knew that it was not easy.

Near Fujing City, because Wang Yan had transferred Zheng's troops out of Fujing by various means in order to earn sea taxes, Zheng's soldiers were less than 40,000, of which 5,000 were controlled by the Guogong who was not with the same heart as the Guogong.

When Zheng Zhilong was persecuting Wang Yan, his troops in Fujing did not have an advantage, so Zheng Zhilong himself did not dare to stay in Fujing, but returned to Anping City, where heavy troops were stationed, just in case.

Fortunately, Wang Yan's behavior was in the calculations of the Zheng family's staff, knowing that he was loyal and dedicated to the country, and did not dare to fight with the Zheng family when the Qing army was pressing the border on a large scale and Guangxi was in civil strife, so that the captives would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The person who sent the letter wanted to persuade Zheng Zhibao not to be careless, so according to Zheng Zhilong's letter, he returned the silver taels and the ship to Wang Yan first, and sent the army that had been inserted into his Zheng family's hinterland out of Fujian, but when he saw Zheng Zhibao's expression, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to listen to his words, so he hurriedly saluted and retired, and quickly returned to Anping, informed Zheng Zhilong of this matter, and made preparations as soon as possible.

Just when the messenger left Quanzhou, Wang Yan also bid farewell to Emperor Longwu, led 300,000 soldiers and civilians, crossed the Min River, and went to Quanzhou along the coast.

The army was continuous, Wang Yan rode parallel with He Gang and others, He Gang couldn't help but sigh: "Hou Ye left Fujing this time, he stayed away from the center of the imperial court, and if he wants to affect the court situation in the future, I am afraid it will be very difficult!" ”

Fujing is now the location of the Longwu Imperial Court, and it is the political center of the Southern Ming Dynasty, whether Wang Yancheng admits it or not, he led the army and civilians to leave Fujian this time, and in the eyes of his subordinate generals, it was the result of his failure in the political struggle.

"Have you ever thought about what Ben Hou can get by staying in Fujing? And what to lose? Wang Yan said leisurely.

"Please also ask Master Hou to teach!" He Gang thought slightly, but he had no clue, and said with his fists: "Xiaguan is willing to listen to it!" ”

"Zuo Gong is right, the days of this marquis as an official are still short, and he is not good at court battles, staying in Fujing is really a short blow to a long one, and he will only fall into endless party struggles, and there is no achievement!" Wang Yan sighed: "And all the land in Fujian is owned by the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong can continue to obtain money and food for soldiers, but Benhou can only sit and eat empty." In the long run, the power will disappear and the power will grow, and the strength of this marquis will inevitably be dragged down by the Zheng family, and in the end, he will not even be able to stand in the court. In this case, why didn't Benhou jump out of Fujian and pass through Guangdong Province? The wealth of Guangdong Province is not inferior to Fujian, Benhou to Guangdong Province, and no one is restrained, as long as it is dedicated to business, then the money and grain soldiers and horses are based, when the time comes, why not be afraid of Zheng Zhilong, even if you raise troops to welcome Your Majesty into Guangdong, it is not impossible! ”

When He Gang heard Wang Yan's words, he thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Hou Ye's words, after the officials think deeply, they are already clear. Hou Ye stayed in Fujing, all he gained was endless party strife, and what he lost was a side of heaven and earth! From this point of view, Hou Ye's departure from Fujing is actually the best choice at the moment. The lower officials are impressed! ”

The many generals who followed behind Wang Yan couldn't help but change their expressions when they listened to the conversation between him and He Gang.

Originally, everyone thought that they had lost a battle and were driven out of Fujing, but now it seems that they are going to run to a new world, and their hearts can't help but feel slightly excited.

Seeing this, Wang Yan slowly put his mind at ease, but maybe even he didn't know it, and unconsciously, he had slowly become a warlord like Zheng Zhilong.

"Lord Qiqi! Ten miles ahead, is Quanzhou City! ”

When Wang Yan and He Gang were talking, several sentry horsemen came to meet them, they galloped in front of Wang Yan, and then turned over and dismounted, and bowed.

When Wang Yan heard this, his face couldn't help but be solemn for a while, and the generals behind him looked at Wang Yan with their eyes blazing.

"Salute first, then soldier!" Although Wang Yan understood the meaning of the generals' hearts, as an important minister of the court, he could not act arbitrarily, so he said to everyone: "Who can enter the city for Benhou, and will Zheng Zhibao for a while?" ”

"The next official is willing to go!"

"The last will go!"

Hearing this, several civil and military warriors came out of the ranks, hugged their fists and saluted.

Wang Yan looked at it, among them He Gang, Qu Congzhi and others, but his eyes finally fell on the Qianhu Dai Zhifan, and then nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "An Ren is so courageous, and come forward, Ben Hou has something to explain!" ”

Dai Zhifan didn't expect Wang Yan to choose him, so when he heard this, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked to Wang Yan's side, while Wang Yan bent down on the horse and bowed his head to Dai Zhifan's ear for a whisper.

The surrounding generals saw Dai Zhifan's face change for a while, and they couldn't help but be very curious, but they couldn't really hear it, and they immediately guessed Wang Yan's words, and only Su Guansheng, a bachelor on the side, squinted at each other.

After listening to Wang Yan's words, Dai Zhifan couldn't help but have a puzzle on his face, "Master Hou, is it really feasible for the general to act like this?" ”

"Anren rest assured!" Wang Yan comforted: "After you enter the city, you will do what Ben Hou said, no matter what the result is, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

When Dai Zhifan heard this, the doubts on his face were not eliminated at all, but since Wang Yan had already asked him not to worry about the consequences, he could only salute and say: "Then I will go and prepare for this, and then immediately enter the city and ask Zheng Zhibao for money and grain and grass!" ”

Immediately, Wang Yan waved his hand, and Dai Zhifan retreated.

After a while, Wang Yan saw that he led a few cavalrymen and left the team to run to Quanzhou, so he said to the generals: "It's not early, it's convenient for the army to set up camp here today, rest for a while, and then go tomorrow!" ”

To negotiate with someone like Zheng Zhibao, Wang Yan should have sent a person who was born as a civil minister and was good at lobbying, but he sent Dai Zhifan, who was born in a martial arts, so the generals were very puzzled.

At this time, when everyone heard Wang Yan's order, they retracted their doubts, hugged their fists and responded, and then dispersed and arranged for their subordinates to camp.

Waiting for the generals to leave, the scholar Su Guansheng stepped forward, stood beside Wang Yan, and suddenly said: "Master Hou acts like this, but he is not afraid of the Zheng family's revenge and bringing disaster to the imperial court?" ”
