The war has been defeated so far, the defeat is irretrievable, Liu Guoxuan comes or not, in Zheng Sen's opinion, it is a general ending.

Zheng Sen couldn't kill his son in front of his generals, so he let go of the struggling Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing escaped from the lobby and hid behind the nurse, not daring to approach the terrifying father - Zheng Sen again.

Zheng Sen was no longer in love, looked at Liu Guoxuan who walked into the lobby, and said, "Sightseeing, the Penghu Naval Division has been wiped out?" ”

Sightseeing is Liu Guoxuan's word, Liu Guoxuan half-knelt and arched his hand and said, "Zheng Zongbing, although the last general's sailor was defeated in Penghu, but fortunately, the last general evacuated in time, and also brought forty warships back to Luer Harbor, preserving its strength. ”

"The Zheng Clan's Invincible Armada has been defeated, what is the use of preserving the strength of forty warships? It's just a matter of bothering Shi Lang to take another trip to Luer Harbor. ”

Zheng Sen thought about it secretly, smiled bitterly, and said to himself, "This battleship is not enough to stuff Shi Lang's teeth, and it can't hold Luer Harbor." Fang Yuan's army has broken through Taichung and will enter the city of Taiwan within one or two days, and the destruction of the Zheng clan is already at present. Taiwan can't hold it, sightseeing, you better go and find your own way out! ”

Liu Guoxuan said in a deep voice, "The last general will do his best to bring back this water division, not to defend Taiwan, but to evacuate with General Zheng's troops." ”

"Evacuate?"

Zheng Sen smiled bitterly again, and said dejectedly, "The current situation is exhausted, where else can we withdraw?" Luzon, or Japan? ”

Liu Guoxuan lowered his gaze and said, "Mr. Zheng, keep a useful body, and then try to make a comeback." ”

He glanced at the corpse of his wife Dong, and said angrily, "Sightseeing, I have no enmity with Fang Yuan, and until I die, it is impossible for Luzon or Japan to provide me with a chance to take revenge." If you can't take revenge if you live in the world, it is better to die in Taiwan City vigorously, and you can still win a name in history. ”

He forced another laugh and said, "I made an appointment with my wife to die together, but now I have broken the agreement and fled. The evaluation of my Zheng Sen in the history books is that Fang Yuan's soldiers came to the city, and I, Zheng Sen, killed my wife and children, and then I was greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled overseas without a trace. ”

Liu Guoxuan secretly wept, was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "The world is so big, the only one who can provide Zheng Zongbing with a chance to take revenge is the Ming Imperial Court." I have a deep blood feud with Fang Yuan, and the Ming Dynasty also has a deep hatred for Fang Yuan, we can unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against Fang Yuan together! ”

Defecting to the imperial court is one of the choices, Zheng Sen was slightly stunned, and said, "If I wanted to surrender to Fang Yuan a long time ago, why should I return to the imperial court like a lost dog now?" Moreover, the prince of the imperial court imprisoned the monarch and imprisoned his father, and the people were in mourning, how could this kind of person be worthy of being a king, heh! ”

He is absolutely unwilling to be subservient to others, just go to the imperial court like this, and immediately change from a hegemon to a thug who looks up to others, Zheng Sen will never agree.

Liu Guoxuan patiently persuaded, "The weakness of the imperial court is in the sailor, and the original sailor is even more afraid of the other party. The Zheng clan is the only force that is proficient in water warfare and can fight with Fang Yuan, and the imperial court cannot but reuse it. We can go north and land at Weihaiwei, and then send an envoy to negotiate with the imperial court. The Zheng clan was willing to defend Weihaiwei, the mouthpiece of the Gyeonggi Sea Frontier, for the imperial court to defend against Fang Yuan's invasion. However, the imperial court must imitate the Guanning Army, allocate Dengzhou Mansion as the base of the Zheng family, and cannot interfere in the military and political affairs of the Dengzhou Mansion, and allocate one million taels of silver to the Zheng family every year for the construction of the water division. ”

Zheng Sen listened to Liu Guoxuan's suggestion and was excited, if he could be able to establish himself in the state capital, it would be in line with his selfish desire to be unwilling to condescend to others, and he could also build a powerful sailor to continue to deal with Fang Yuan. If you die, there is nothing, and only by being alive can you win the hope of destroying Fang Yuan.

Zheng Sen asked hesitantly, "What if the imperial court doesn't allow us to stand on our own feet in Dengzhou Mansion?" ”

Liu Guoxuan said coldly, "Although our sailor is not as good as Fang Yuan, it is more than enough compared to the sailor of the imperial court. If the imperial court did not allow it, we occupied the islands off the coast of Shandong, plundered the Dengzhou capital to expand our power, and then tried to forge ahead. ”

Although Zheng Sen is now determined to die, he is unwilling to lose to Fang Yuan like this, and in his heart, he still wants to find another piece of land to make a comeback, and going to Dengzhou Mansion is the best way out.

Zheng Sen looked at Dong's corpse again, was silent for a while, and asked, "But I have made an appointment with my wife to die together, this is ......?"

Liu Guoxuan knew that he had no intention of committing suicide, so he was just looking for a step down, and hurriedly persuaded him, "It was not Zheng Zongbing who forced Mrs. to death, but Fang Yuan." Mrs. in the spirit of heaven would never hope that Zheng Zongbing would die together, but hoped that Zheng Zongbing would live well and take revenge on Fang Yuan for her and for Zheng. ”

Zheng Sen knew that his wife's death had nothing to do with Fang Yuan's half a dime, and Liu Guoxuan's comfort was pulling around, but he finally found the steps and went down, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I sent someone to bury my wife and evacuate Taiwan Island immediately." ”

The military situation is like fire, where is there still time for Zheng Sen to bury Dong's body, Liu Guoxuan said anxiously, "No, Madame's body can be handed over to the people in the house for burial." Zheng Zongbing must immediately evacuate with the little master, if Shi Lang's sailors pursue to Luer Port, there will really be no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. ”

Zheng Sen is not a mother-in-law's character, so he ordered his own soldiers to capture Zheng Jing, and immediately ordered the Zheng generals in Taiwan City to immediately gather the sergeants and retreat to Chiji City together if they were willing to continue to follow him Zheng Sen.

He only took one of his favorite concubines with him this retreat, Tian, and she would take care of his son Zheng Jing's living and life in the future. The rest of the concubines and maidservants all stayed in Taiwan City.

The five people who had been pampered by him were directly slashed and killed, and his Zheng Sen's woman would never be left to humiliate the Xuanjia Army and provoke laughter. The rest of the women who had not touched each were given five taels of silver, so that they could bury their wives alive, and then they were left to fend for themselves.

At present, the Zheng generals who are still in Taiwan are almost all Zheng veterans who are willing to follow Zheng Sen to make contributions. I broke up in a hurry before, because no one wanted to lose their lives in vain. But as soon as they heard that Zheng Sen was going to evacuate the island of Taiwan and find another way out, most of the generals were still willing to continue to follow Zheng Sen and flee.

In less than five hours, Zheng Sen had taken advantage of the darkness of night to evacuate Taiwan City with Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Jing, a group of generals, and one or two thousand guards and tigers. The army only brought resources related to the war, and only a small amount of gold, silver, and jewelry were brought with them, and most of them stayed in Taiwan City.

A day later, Zheng Sen led the people to evacuate to Chichicheng, and after joining up with the Zheng army in Chichicheng, he gathered all the remaining warships and fifty merchant ships in Luergang, and set off with sergeants.

Zheng Sen did not withdraw directly to Fujian, but went to Kinmen Island first.

Shi Lang's strategy was to let go of Kinmen Island and attack Penghu directly. After the capture of Penghu, Shi Lang gathered almost all the warships in Penghu and abandoned the blockade of Kinmen Island. Zheng Sen led his army to an easy landing on Kinmen Island, found the defenders trapped on the island, and explained to Zhou Quanbin that the island of Taiwan had been lost, and the future strategy was to withdraw to the north and continue to negotiate with Fang Yuan.

As soon as the remaining troops, warships, and civilian ships on the island of Taiwan were assembled, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and countless ships, which were the capital for Zheng Sen to negotiate with the imperial court. If you go to Dengzhou Mansion empty-handed, the imperial court will not look at Zheng Sen with a straight eye.

At present, Zheng Sen's forces are all gathered on Kinmen Island, and all of them must be withdrawn from Fujian, and the existing warships and civilian ships are obviously insufficient. Fang Yuan and Shi Lang's pursuit could be killed at any time, and they didn't dare to delay more on Kinmen Island. Zheng Sen immediately robbed all the civilian ships of the Kinmen Islanders, forcibly requisitioned 300 civilian ships, and robbed all the grain stored by the Kinmen Islanders, and then left Kinmen Island with the sergeants and retreated to Fujian.
