Chapter 139 Zheng Zhilong, angrily chasing Wang Yan
In Fujing City, after the person who sent the letter to Zheng Zhibao returned to the Pingguo Mansion, he confronted Zheng Zhilong with Zheng Zhibao's contempt for Wang Yanduo, which made him feel a little worried.
Quanzhou is the largest port in Fujian, and the Zheng family has a large number of materials, all of which are placed in Quanzhou City, and Zheng Zhilong will never allow it to have any mistakes.
When there is a worry in people's hearts, if they don't take a look at it for themselves, they will not be able to sleep well.
Zheng Zhilong had a melancholy in his heart, and the same was true, he knew that Zheng Zhibao's ability was not very effective, so he was always worried that something big would happen in Quanzhou.
On the second day after the messenger returned, Zheng Zhilong, for the sake of insurance, raised an army of 30,000 with his relatives and drove to Quanzhou, deciding to personally press Wang Yan out of Fujian, and felt a little safe in his heart.
In Quanzhou City, Wang Yanduan sat on the palace, listening to the report of his subordinates, the harvest of yesterday's battle, and his heart couldn't help but be surprised, but Su Guansheng's face was full of anger, "The Zheng family is so rich, but every time there is a shortage of money and food, it is really hateful to hinder the major affairs of the imperial court!" ”
"Yan didn't expect that the Quanzhou Mansion Treasury was only 50,000 taels of silver, but Zheng Zhibao's Mansion had 3.5 million taels of silver, which was comparable to half a load of taxes from the imperial court." Wang Yan nodded, and said with deep emotion: "If you include the mountains of silk, tea, and porcelain in Quanzhou City, then the value of silver will probably be five or six million taels, and this is only the tip of the Zheng family's iceberg, not including Fujing, Anping, Zheng can really be said to be rich and rival the country!" ”
It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.
At this time, Wang Yan couldn't help but secretly feel that his move to leave Fujing was so correct, looking at the strength in his hands, and then looking at the strength of the Zheng family, which had been running Fujian for decades, it was a world of difference.
At the same time, Zheng's wealth aroused his determination to run Guangdong, as long as he was given a few years, he believed that he would be able to make the soldiers and horses self-sufficient in money and food, and support 200,000 strong soldiers for the Northern Expedition.
"The wealth of the country has been embezzled by the Zheng family, which is really the misfortune of the Ming Dynasty!" Su Guansheng originally had some complaints about Wang Yan's design to take Quanzhou, but now he fully supports Wang Yan's approach. "This official should write what he has seen and heard in Quanzhou into a chapter and report it to His Majesty. If the wealth of the Zheng family cannot be used by the country, it will become a disaster for the court in the future! ”
"Alas~" Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "I think Your Majesty also knows this, but the current situation has to rely on the Zheng family." In the final analysis, we still don't have the strength to share your Majesty's worries! ”
Su Guansheng said meaningfully: "The Marquis of Zhongyong has now obtained 3.5 million yuan in silver and countless seized materials, so he should manage it well and contribute to His Majesty as soon as possible." ”
Wang Yan said with a smile: "A few days ago, Ben Hou said in the court that he would sacrifice one million sea taxes for the court every year, and he was not very sure in his heart, but it was just to force Zheng Zhilong to take some silver money out and make the court tide over the difficulties, but now with the blessing of the Zheng family, Ben Hou does not have to worry about not being able to fulfill his promise!" ”
The harvest of Quanzhou can be said to have relieved Wang Yan's urgent need and enabled him to obtain a huge amount of silver, which not only solved the military salary of the king of Jingjiang, but also provided sufficient money and food for the resettlement of the people.
For Wang Yan, the more silver money the better, so the three and a half million taels of silver harvested from Zheng Zhibao's mansion did not satisfy him, and he also wanted to clean up the materials left by the Zheng family in Quanzhou, but God did not give him so much time.
At noon, after listening to the report of his subordinates in the palace, Wang Yan personally came to the Zheng family's storage place to count the materials, but suddenly a knight rushed into the city, and after some twists and turns, he finally found Wang Yan's face.
Wang Yan looked at it, and Wang Yan, who was indeed dressed in disguise, immediately couldn't help but wonder and asked, "How could Yun Peng come here?" ”
"Master Hou, Jinyi Wei got news from the secret agent arranged in Anping City that Pingguo Gong has raised 30,000 troops and is coming to Quanzhou." Wang Zilong clasped his fists and saluted: "The lower officials are worried that Hou Ye is not prepared, so he specially came to tell him, but he didn't want Hou Ye to take Quanzhou." ”
When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, Zheng Zhilong rushed to Quanzhou with a large army, but he couldn't guard Quanzhou and not leave, which was inconsistent with his purpose of leaving Fujing, at this time he first said to Wang Zhilong: "Yunpeng has worked hard all the way to bring such important information to Benhou, and Benhou will be grateful in the future." Then he said to the people around him: "Quickly send an order to the generals in the army, and immediately rush to the government to meet each other." ”
Wang Zhilong heard Wang Yan's words, hugged his fists and said: "Master Hou, the news of the lower official has been delivered, and there are still affairs in Fujing that need to be dealt with urgently, so the lower official will leave it alone!" ”
When Wang Yan heard this, he knew that Wang Zhilong was eager to return to Fujing to report to the emperor when he saw that he had taken Quanzhou, and he did not hinder him at the moment, so he replied with his fists: "That is the case, Yunpeng will go all the way!" ”
At that moment, Wang Zilong stepped on the war horse and walked away.
"This loyal man too!" Wang Yan looked at his back and admired in his heart, but it was not because Wang Zilong passed information for him, but because of Wang Zilong's loyalty to Emperor Longwu.
Wang Yan returned to the palace, many civil and military were already waiting in the lobby, he ordered one after another, let He Gang immediately lead the soldiers, the silver taels in Zheng Zhibao's mansion, and the military rations in Quanzhou City, all loaded onto the big ship, and then asked Qu Congzhi to collect the clothes and armor of the captured Zheng army, and finally ordered Wang Zhangjue to escort the people first.
One after another military orders came out, and the city of Quanzhou immediately boiled, and the four battalions of soldiers and horses ran back and forth, busy in the city.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yan's sentry outside the city came to give a message, saying: "The soldiers of Pingguo Gong are sixty miles away from the city, and they will definitely arrive at the city of Quanzhou within two days." ”
When Wang Yan heard this, he knew that Quanzhou could no longer stay, so he abandoned the city with the order.
"Then how does Zheng Zhibao arrange it?" Su Guansheng asked.
Wang Yan thought slightly, weighed it and said: "Take it with you first, wait for Benhou to enter Guangdong safely, and then release him back to Fujian." ”
"Master Hou." Liu Shun asked again: "What about Shi Lang?" ”
"Is he still unwilling to surrender to the marquis?" Wang Yan frowned.
The last general tried to persuade him several times, but he was silent. Liu Shun hugged his fists.
"No matter how much, Shi Lang is a rare talent, bring it to Guangdong first, and then Ben Hou will find an opportunity to talk to him for a long time, and he will definitely persuade this person to be used by Ben Hou."
At that moment, Wang Yan led the soldiers and horses out of Quanzhou, and after a day of hurried travel, he caught up with He Gang who was the first near Xiamen, and at the same time, Zheng Zhilong's also arrived outside Quanzhou with the vanguard.
The next day, Zheng Zhilong's army all arrived in Quanzhou, and the furious Zheng Zhilong immediately gathered his troops and horses and pursued in the direction of Wang Yan's westward retreat.
Wang Yan kidnapped Zheng Zhibao away, and robbed the Zheng family of 3.5 million taels of silver, 20,000 sets of soldiers' clothes and armor, and 400,000 stone military rations.
On this day, Zheng Zhilong led 5,000 pioneers to chase to the border of Zhangzhou, and the distance between him and the rear army had been opened for dozens of miles, but he didn't realize it.
At noon, Zheng Jun had been running under the scorching sun for a morning, all tired, but Zheng Zhilong did not let the army rest, and continued to march between a valley, the general advised him not to trespass, but Zheng Zhilong did not listen at all, and entered the valley with 5,000 soldiers and horses.
At this moment, on the two mountains, but suddenly a cannon sounded, Dai Zhifan led a soldier and horse from the North Mountain, and He Gang led a soldier and horse from the South Mountain, the tired Zheng army was suddenly defeated, Zheng Zhilong saw this, only woke up like a dream, only under the escort of dozens of personal guards, fled out of the valley in a hurry, and ran wildly for a day before meeting the rear army that came.
Zheng Zhilong entered the camp in shock, and did not dare to chase after him, and at this moment, the staff came in to report: "Grandpa Guo, the third master has returned to the camp." ””
