Chapter 831 Undercurrents are surging
Zheng Chenggong led some henchmen to discuss countermeasures in the main hall, and the generals were all driven out of the main hall. When he went out, Huang Wu looked around, thinking that things were already like this today, it was difficult to ensure that those descendants of the generals would not secretly act in the dark, and it would be better to form a gang to ensure their own safety.
Huang Wu looked at the Wan Yi and Wan Lu brothers beside him, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, are you free at night?" Going to my brother's for a drink? ”
Wan Yi is old man likes to drink, but Wan Lu still has some ghost ideas, today he sees that it has made trouble, it is better to find a few allies, so as not to be boiled by those descendant generals, so what Huang Wu said is right in the heart.
"Okay, Brother Huang, our brother will be here tonight!"
Huang Wu saw that the Wan brothers nodded in agreement, and found Liu Jun and Yan Wangzhong in the crowd, and invited them to his house tonight for a gathering, and those people also agreed.
There is a gang here, and Hong Xu on the side of the general has already noticed it. Hong Xu saw Huang Wu talking in a sneaky voice, and he had bad intentions at first glance. Hong Xu thought about it and turned around and returned to the palace to report the news to Zheng Chenggong.
At night, Wanyi Wanlu came to Huang Wu's house. Zheng Chenggong had just occupied Chengtian Mansion, and naturally the former Dutch castle had become the palace of Yanping County, but his generals could only live in private houses. Now there are less than 10,000 people living in Chengtian Mansion, so the housing is very tight, even as the general of Huangwu Town, there is only an ordinary courtyard with three entrances inside and outside.
Huang Wu used to be a peaceful official in Zhangzhou, because he didn't agree with the squad leader, he hacked the magistrate, the squad leader and others to death, brought more than a dozen people to vote for Zheng Chenggong, and then fought in the Zheng army for several years, accumulating merit to become a general. Huang Wu's family is peaceful, there is no one here in Taiwan, only a concubine who was robbed, and a few servants.
The servant spread the wine and food, and then was kicked out by Huang Wu, after all, there is a big matter to discuss tonight, and it is not good for outsiders to hear it.
Huang Wu poured wine for a few people and said, "Brothers, thank you for appreciating the light, come to my house to drink!" ”
Wan Yi liked the contents of the cup, raised the wine glass and drank it all, and said: "Brother Huang, this is a good wine in Guangdong, you have made a capital today!" ”
The wine I drank tonight is the famous wine Wuliangye from Guangdong (of course, this name is shameless Zhu Hongsan plagiarized from later generations, the name of Wuliangye only appeared in the Republic of China period, and it was called miscellaneous grain wine before), this wine is said to be Emperor Shenwu entered Baiyun Mountain to get an immortal guidance, and then brewed. This wine has a soft taste and is fragrant in the mouth, and it is said that it is made by Emperor Shenwu with five kinds of grain, so it is called Wuliangye.
In fact, these are all gimmicks made by Zhu Hongsan, of course, what he drinks himself is the real Wuliangye, but what he sells is made of sweet potatoes, but for the sake of good taste, an appropriate amount of sugar is added to the wine, so the taste is soft and fragrant. However, this kind of wine is the autocracy of the royal winery, and only a small part of it is spread outside, and it is sold for 100 silver dollars a jar in Fujian on the other side, so today Huang Wu took out this wine and made a lot of money.
These generals are all drunkards, so they naturally know the quality of the wine, and their eyes lit up after they entered, and they let go of the amount of wine like vicious dogs pooping on.
Huang Wu saw that a few people were happy to drink, and asked in a low voice on the side, "How are you, how is the wine?" This was obtained by robbing a Cantonese merchant ship, and there were hundreds of jars of this wine on the merchant ship at that time, but I didn't dare to take more, after all, it had to be dedicated to the prince. At that time, I only left three altars, and in the past few years, there is only one altar left! ”
Wan Yi drank refreshmently, and when he heard Huang Wu say this, he was distressed and said: "Brother Huang, then we are so embarrassed to drink your wine!" ”
Huang Wu said with a smile: "Don't worry, this kind of wine will be available in the future, and it will be no problem to take a bath in it!" ”
Wan Yi heard Huang Wu say this, his eyes widened and asked, "Take a bath?" That's a hundred silver dollars a jar of good wine, so many baths? "One hundred silver dollars is equivalent to one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and you can buy fifteen acres of good land in mountainous Fujian.
"Haha, silly brother, although this kind of wine is expensive, I heard that the generals of Emperor Shenwu are supplied in unlimited quantities!"
Wan Lu only drank and didn't speak just now, he knew that something must have happened to Huang Wu today, and now that Huang Wu said this, it turned out that Huang Wu was planning to surrender.
"Brother Huang, my two brothers don't have many eyes, if you have anything to say, just say it, why did you come to us today?"
Huang Wu heard Wan Lu ask this, so he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Everyone, you have all seen what happened during the day today, and those generals don't treat us as human beings at all. They don't want to recruit An, because they live well and eat well, I heard that Hong Xu's family has a group of women, but what about our brothers? When you drink a drink, you have to think about it, what do you mean by living this kind of life? ”
After Huang Wu finished speaking, he looked at a few people, and found that everyone bowed their heads and didn't speak, he knew that what he said just now had a door: "Wanyi, didn't you just rob a woman a few years ago?" was beaten by the prince with fifteen military sticks, and the injuries on his body are not okay? Liu Jun, what are you stealing military salaries for? Don't you just want to live a better life? Just because of this, I was almost beheaded by the prince, if it weren't for a few of us to protect you, probably your grave grass would be one person tall, right? ”
Zheng Chenggong was very strict in administering the army, and the slightest mistake would be dealt with by military law. These surrendered generals were originally used to being at large, and they could bear this, so they basically suffered from military law.
Wan Yi drank a little too much, and when he heard Huang Wu's words and was beaten with fifteen military sticks, he slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Fuck your mother-in-law Zheng Damu... ”
Wan Lu was very scheming, and when he saw that his brother was about to get trouble, he quickly stopped his brother and said, "Big brother, don't talk first!" ”
"Brother Huang, what are you going to do?"
Liu Jun and Yan Wangzhong are not fools, this kind of rebellion is not a joke, let's listen to what Huang Wu wants to do first!
"Several, now Emperor Shenwu has decided to recover Taiwan, but he is only preparing to negotiate peace with Zheng Chenggong because he has no shipping route. If we send someone to the other side and tell Emperor Shenwu about the time of the high tide in Luermen, do you say that it is a great achievement? ”
There are two routes to enter Chengtianfu from the sea off Taiwan, one is Dayuan Port, called the South Channel, between the end of the northern line and the body of a kun. One is the North Channel, between the end of the North Line and Luermen Island, that is, the "Luermen Channel". The mouth of the South Passage is wide and deep, and it is easy for ships to enter, but the port is defended by warships, and there are heavy artillery on land to look down, and if you enter from here, you must go through a battle to pass, and it is difficult for the fleet to land here. The North Passage is shallow and narrow, and can only pass through small boats, and large ships must pass at high tide.
At that time, Zheng Chenggong was helped by He Tingbin and chose to break into Luermen Port, mainly because he mastered the tidal law of the place, that is, when the tide was high on the first and sixteenth days of each month, the water level was five or six feet higher than usual, and large and small ships could sail in. Zheng Chenggong braved the wind and waves from Penghu to cross the Luermen at the first tide of the new year.
This news is not a big secret in Zheng Chenggong's army, but the Ming army on the other side does not know, if this news is leaked to the Ming army, then what to talk with, the Ming army will call directly.
As soon as Huang Wu's words fell, he heard someone outside the house talking: "Haha, I really let Lao Tzu guess correctly, you bastards really want to throw themselves on the other side!" ”
At this time, the door of the house was kicked open by someone outside, Huang Wu saw that the big thing was not good, and there were more than 100 soldiers standing in the courtyard, led by Hong Xu.
It turned out that Hong Xu saw that Huang Wu was ganging up, and he knew that this guy was not well-intentioned, so he re-entered the palace to report to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong didn't quite believe what Hong Xu said at first, after all, Zheng Chenggong didn't treat his generals equally, and he didn't quite believe that they could rebel.
But Chen Yonghua said on the side: "Lord, this is an extraordinary time, you must not be soft, if the prince doesn't want to wronged good people, you can arrest these people first, and then try them slowly, but what if you really want to rebel?" Huang Wu has 3,000 men and horses, and the Wan brothers also have thousands of people, plus others, half of Taiwan's army is in their hands, and it is not a trivial matter to cause chaos! ”
Zheng Chenggong is a hero, and he knows that he has to make decisions on the spot when he does anything. So Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said to Hong Xu: "Brother Hong, you take three hundred people, ambush near Huang Wu's house at night, and arrest others when they see them entering." If they resist. Zheng Chenggong thought for a moment and said decisively: "If you resist, kill on the spot!" ”
Hong Xu happily gave the order, and then went down to prepare.
At night, Hong Xu led people to ambush outside Huang Wu's house, and was informed that those people had entered, and Hong Xu ordered to break through the gate of Huang Wu's house and rush in.
In the courtyard, Hong Xu happened to hear that Huang Wu was going to dedicate the water situation of Luermen to the other side, Hong Xu was very happy in his heart, this is not a fake, let Lao Tzu grab your pigtails.
When Huang Wu and the others saw Hong Xu coming in, they knew that they were going to be unlucky tonight, and they didn't explain anything, because it was useless to explain like this, it was better to rush and kill, it was best to escape, and it was better to close your eyes and wait for death if you couldn't escape.
Hong Xu saw a few people in the room rushing out with knives, and sneered: "All the soldiers obey the order, the prince has an order, and those who resist will not be killed!" ”
With Zheng Chenggong's order, it was easy to do, and the soldiers in the courtyard drew their swords and fought with several generals.
Wanyi, Wanlu, Yan Wangzhong, and the three of them have good kung fu, but after all, there are few people, and after hacking to death more than ten soldiers, they were hacked to death by others, and Liu Jun saw that there was nothing to do, so he had to bow his head and be captured.
Hong Xu looked at the corpses, but the mastermind Huang Wu was missing. Hong Xu was in a hurry, it was dark now, and if Huang Wu ran away, it would be fatal. At the same time as Hong Xu hurriedly sent someone to report Zheng Chenggong, he ordered the soldiers defending the city to close the city gate and move the city to search for Huang Wu's whereabouts, but no news of Huang Wu was found until dawn.
Hong Xu had no choice but to report the truth to Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong sighed after learning the news, it seems that it is not a heart that works, since this is the case, don't complain about the king's cruelty.
Zheng Chenggong ordered all the generals who surrendered from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to be arrested and executed, ready to eliminate the danger in the bud, but in addition to the generals of the descendant line and the surrender generals of the Qing army, there were also a large number of self-surrendered generals in the army. Now that Zheng Chengguan is cleaning them up, will he also clean us up in the future? Zheng Chenggong Group, which was originally stable, has become an undercurrent because of a letter of persuasion.
