In the backyard of Zheng Hongkui's mansion, in a side room, Shi Fu listened to the reports of his subordinates.

"My lord, so far, we have contacted four of Zheng Hongkui's subordinates, and they have all agreed to take refuge in my Daqing, and the other three generals who are in contact are hesitant, one of them has an unclear attitude, and his subordinates feel that there may be other forces looking for him, and he is more likely to fall to other forces, do you think you will cut him off?"

Shi Fu shook his head, "We can't do this, even if we don't admit it, it will make Zheng Hongkui fall to other forces, most likely to his nephew, Zheng Chenggong, now Zheng Chenggong is more qualified than us and persuaded Zheng Hongkui to join him." ”

"My lord, why not the Longwu Ming Army or the Yongli Ming Army?" The subordinate asked.

Shi Fu sneered, "Those individuals will only fight among themselves, making money and glory and wealth is their goal, a little self-esteem of scholars is what they want, show off, they just love to show off, arrogant, they are arrogant, but these have nothing to do with the court, if you want to talk about the relationship, it is that they have harmed the court." ”

The subordinates looked up at him, thinking in their hearts, everyone is the same, don't laugh at others, if it weren't for your glory and wealth, would you betray the Longwu Imperial Court?

Now everyone is not optimistic about the specific situation of these two courts, and everyone knows it.

The tree is falling and scattered, and you and they are both the same tree and the tree.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Fu looked down at him, and probably guessed what his subordinates were thinking, but he didn't defend it, because this was a fact, he just stood in the court that he was loyal to now, and he spoke from the position of the Qing Dynasty, and regarded himself as a Qing person.

Although the Qing Dynasty does not seem to have calmed down the situation, everyone can see that the Qing army Tartars, those Tunguska savages from the barren ice field, have basically established their position as the new masters of the country.

If it's just savages, it's just that, but they learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty and use the culture of the Ming Dynasty to rule the entire Ming Dynasty, which is the reason why they harvest the hearts of the entire Ming people.

Coughing, Shi Fu said worriedly: "At present, Zheng Chenggong's soldiers are strong and strong, and I heard that he has gained a firm foothold in Baodao, and now he is about to seize Chongming Island, maybe Jinling, the southern capital, will be recovered by them within the year, and when Lu Jianguo enters the capital, his appeal will increase greatly, Zheng Chenggong will become the fourth person after Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Mingzhen, and Lu Zhenfei, and obviously his strength is much stronger than the previous three."

According to the detailed report, he still has the support of the Jinhua Righteous Army behind him, and the Jinhua Righteous Army is really the most powerful Ming army on the southeast coast, and it is also the trouble of my Qing Dynasty's henchmen, although some people in the court have noticed this phenomenon, but they are unable to attack them, the rebel army and the anyway army contain most of the green battalion troops, and the Yongli Ming army has contained Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Ma Degong, Duoduo, Haoge, Azig and other big men have too many troops. ”

Speaking of this, he rubbed his forehead, Lord Hong Chengchou was restrained by King Lu and Zheng Chenggong again, and the attention of the court was attracted by the Longwu Ming Army, so now there is really no strength to attack the Jinhua Righteous Army hiding on the side of Lingjiang.

Fan Shaozu and Ma Bao on the other side of the river are the defeated generals of the Jinhua Righteous Army, beating Su Guansheng and Qian Binglu, Zhang Tianlu is okay, fighting the Jinhua Righteous Army, they directly pick on the son, don't do it.

Originally, there were Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, who knew that they rebelled because of Chen Jin, the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and now Tan Taibu and the Khalkha Mongol army were also besieged, and the Jinhua Righteous Army worked hard to get a protective shell for themselves, so that the Qing Dynasty could not attack them directly. ”

"Cunning, cunning." Shi Fu sighed.

After sighing, he said to his subordinates: "Go and let the generals who are willing to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty prepare their men, and once the situation changes, we will attack, seize Quanzhou Mansion, and kill Zheng Hongkui." ”

Shi Fu said resolutely.

The subordinate immediately clenched his fists, "It's my lord." ”

And in the wing room of a courtyard not far away, a eunuch in disguise, touching his chin, also said to the eunuch who followed him and a commander of the Imperial Forest Army: "How many people are willing to be loyal to the emperor?" ”

The little eunuch who followed said: "Father-in-law, only four little pirates are willing to do their best for the court, but they want 100,000 taels of silver, and at least they are the official positions of the garrison, the little ones dare not agree to them, come back and ask for advice." ”

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army said, "How many ships and how many men and horses do they have?" ”

The little eunuch who followed said: "There are a total of one hundred and twenty small boats, two thousand men and horses," the commander of the Imperial Forest Army frowned, and looked at the eunuch sitting there, "Father-in-law, you can't do anything, there are too few people and horses here, and their intentions are not so clear, I only have two thousand people and horses in my hands, because I can't provoke Zheng Hongkui, so they have no armor, and there are not enough weapons to suppress Zheng Hongkui." ”

The eunuch touched his chin and thought for a while, "It's okay, I have already made an agreement with Xiao Feixiao of the Jinhua Righteous Army, if there are not enough manpower, the 5th Field Brigade of the Jinhua Righteous Army will appear in Quanzhou Mansion, and there is not only one army of the Jinhua Righteous Army in Quanzhou Mansion, but also the 3,000 soldiers of the 6th Field Brigade and the Sixth Fleet will also help, more than 20,000 people." How many elites does Zheng Hongkui have? It's only five or six thousand, and the rest of the tens of thousands of people are a rabble, all of which have been added by their new Lazhuang Ding, and they are not vulnerable at all. ”

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army still frowned, and said worriedly: "Public, I don't think we should use the power of the Jinhua Righteous Army, we have to consider it for the imperial court, the Jinhua Righteous Army is an outsider after all, and now the imperial court has no strength to restrain them, so we can only wait until the future to recover the country and then settle the account, now with them, what do we have to pay?" Is it a Fuzhou Mansion again? ”

The eunuch looked at him, "Can you overturn the decision of the emperor and the elders?" ”

The Commander of the Guards stopped talking.

Further away, Zheng Hongkui's people and Zheng Chenggong's people were negotiating, but both sides had great differences and did not negotiate, now Zheng Hongkui is weak, Zheng Chenggong doesn't want to support a person who is on an equal footing with himself, and listens to the announcement or not, the kind of situation where everyone sits together to elect an alliance leader, he doesn't like it, he prefers to have his own power, and Zheng Hongkui doesn't want to bow his head to his nephew.

Although he now wants his nephew to help him out of the situation.

The Portuguese were a threat, and the Qing army could threaten them as well, and the defenses of the Longwu court were not reliable, and the Qing army and the Mongols, who had the ability to move cavalry, were likely to attack his Zhangzhou and Quanzhou prefectures from the territory of the Longwu court.

There is also the Jinhua Righteous Army stationed in Quanzhou Mansion, although the Jinhua Righteous Army is actually an independent Southern Ming warlord, the same as him Zheng Hongkui, but what they oppose the most is the surrender of the Qing army, he thinks of surrendering the Qing army, after all, the Qing army has the strength and ability to win the country.

Everyone knows that Nan Ming is just surviving.

Under Shi Fu's persuasion, his heart gradually leaned towards surrendering to the Qing army.

There is also a possibility to take his fleet to the sea, but he is not as decisive as Zheng Chenggong, his homeland is difficult to leave, he is much older than Zheng Chenggong, he doesn't want to leave the land, go to the sea to mix, the pain of rootless Ping, he has experienced.
