Chapter 265: Project Death
For dozens of days, Lin Xishan, the general of the Zheng family's naval division, has been sending envoys to discuss with Shi Lang about the surrender and incorporation. Shi Lang also made a condition for surrender, that is, he could let the Zhoushan Naval Base, which was half built, but the Xuanjia Army Naval Division Battalion must remain intact and be commanded by Shi Lang.
Lin Xishan handed this surrender condition to Zheng Zhilong, the strategic location of the Zhoushan base is very important, Zheng Zhilong also took a fancy to this magnificent naval base, if this base can be held, the entire Nanzhili is within the scope of Zheng's naval division, and there is no need to go on an expedition from Fujian.
Shi Lang was willing to hand over the Zhoushan Naval Base, and although Zheng Zhilong was not satisfied with his half-pulled surrender, as long as the Zheng Jiashui Division could land at the Zhoushan Naval Base, he would gain a firm foothold in Zhoushan. At that time, you can continue to put pressure on Shi Lang, as long as Shi Lang still does not agree to accept the adaptation, he can attack Shi Lang at any time.
Zheng Zhilong temporarily agreed to Shi Lang's conditions, allowing him to continue to serve as the commander of the Xuanjia Army's fleet.
Zheng Zhifeng, the commander of the Zheng family's fleet, immediately ordered Lin Xishan to lead 150 warships to land at the Zhoushan Naval Base and take over the naval base. Zheng Zhifeng even sent 30,000 Zheng troops to land, one to protect the safety of the naval base, and the other to put pressure on Shi Lang to force Shi Lang to surrender completely.
The Zhoushan Naval Base was originally planned and designed to have four large military ports, but now only two on Zhoushan Island have been built. one north of Zhoushan Island and garrisoned by Shi Lang's fleet; One is south of Zhoushan Island and is garrisoned by Lin Xishan.
The two sides were separated by a distance of fifty miles, and each did not invade.
Lin Xishan was instructed by Zheng Zhilong to continue to use marrying a daughter as a bait, and continued to negotiate with Shi Lang, asking Shi Lang to accept the adaptation, otherwise he would wait for the opportunity to start a war.
Shi Lang has discussed in detail with Lin Xishan the conditions for surrender, as well as the official position he has been given, how to rehabilitate Shi Lang's beheaded relatives, and the future treatment of the Shi family, and the envoys of the two sides are in constant contact.
It has been ten days since Xu Ru came to the Zhoushan Naval Base from the Taihu Base, and she has not said a word to Shi Lang since she arrived at the Zhoushan Base. No matter how enthusiastic Shi Lang greeted, she still stayed at home, only stubbornly in the house, and all the maids she served were also kicked out by her.
Shi Lang couldn't stay in the dormitory, otherwise she would immediately kill herself by wiping her neck with a dagger.
At noon on this day, Shi Lang personally brought hot porridge to Xu Ru's bedroom, served a bowl of hot porridge in front of her, and saw that she was still angry, with a smile on her face, "Madam, let's eat some!" ”
Xu Ru didn't bother to look at him, waved his hand and swept the hot porridge to the ground, and said coldly, "I feel disgusted to say a word to you as a traitor." ”
Shi Lang looked at the hot porridge spilled on the ground, still smiling and said, "Madam, what did Fang Yuan tell you before he sent you?" Do you want to make a difference, or do you want to leave a seed for my old Shi family? ”
Xu Ru was stunned for a moment, Fang Yuan did ask her to serve Shi Lang before, not to make trouble, but this idea felt disgusting when he thought about it now, and he turned his head sideways and glared at Shi Lang, "Shi Lang, the princess trusts you in vain, and the beast still knows how to repay it, and you turn around and bite back, even the beast is not as good as the beast." Don't say that I don't have your flesh and blood now, and even if I do, I will never stay! ”
"Madame, you!"
Shi Lang took two steps closer with a gloomy face, Xu Ru hurriedly pulled out the dagger in his arms, put it on his neck, and shouted angrily, "Who is your wife, get away!" ”
Shi Lang was stunned, his eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he still consciously withdrew from the dormitory. As soon as he walked to the door, he turned around and sighed and said, "Madam, at the fisherman's house in the east of the island, I have already prepared a small warboat, you should go there to hide first." If I don't come back within three days, flee back to the colt and the princess." ”
Xu Ru was stunned, seemed to notice something abnormal, and asked, "Shi Lang, what are you talking about, make it clear, I don't understand!" ”
"That's it! That's it! That's it! ”
Shi Lang smiled bitterly, opened the door and walked out, leaving her with a gloomy back.
Shi Fu also stayed in Shi Lang's sailor camp for a month or two, nominally to persuade Shi Lang, but in fact, he was ordered by Zheng Zhifeng to monitor Shi Lang's every move nearby, and whether there were any abnormal movements of soldiers and horses in the sailor camp. Being able to persuade Shi Lang to surrender is of course all right, but he can't help but guard against Shi Lang's dissent.
In the afternoon, Shi Fu ate two sea fish for lunch and was walking around the beach.
Suddenly, a huge sea breeze blew through his armor and cloak, and he suddenly noticed that the sea breeze today was different from the past.
The first ten days were either southwest or southeast, but today it has become a north wind. As the commander of the Zheng family's naval division, he immediately became professionally vigilant, Shi Lang's military port was in the north of the island, and Lin Xishan's military port was in the south of the island. If the southwest wind and southeast wind are conducive to Lin Xishan attacking Shi Lang, and if the wind direction changes to the north wind, it is obviously conducive to Shi Lang attacking Lin Xi Mountain.
Shi Fu was puzzled, and then rushed to the sea, raising his eyes to judge the tide by looking at the floating of warships on the sea, and the tide was also to the south, in other words, no matter the direction of the wind and the current, it was conducive to attacking the south from the north.
"Is it all a coincidence?"
Shi Fu groaned secretly, and slowly returned to Shi Lang's sailor camp with a heavy heart, sitting at the gate of the military village, looking at the sailor sergeants coming and going.
Suddenly, Shi Fu noticed some unusual things that were not easy to notice, and several teams of sergeants were wearing military boots.
The sailors on the battleship, in order to adapt to the needs of naval warfare, usually do not wear shoes, whether on the battleship or when training on the shore, they are barefoot. With Shi Lang's familiarity with the essentials of naval warfare, how could it be possible for the sergeants of the Sailor Battalion to train in military boots?
Unless, these sergeants are not trolls at all?!
The more Shi Fu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and immediately stopped an oncoming sergeant in military boots who was carrying supplies, and took off his military boots to see that the feet were small and had some calluses, but there were almost no scars.
Sailors in perennial naval battles usually have large footboards, otherwise it is difficult to stand firm on the rocking armor. Not only do you have calluses because you don't wear shoes all year round, but you will also get scars.
Shi Fu sighed deeply, he was now almost sure that these sergeants in military boots were not sailors at all, but infantry soldiers!
"Shi Lang, this kid is cheating!"
Shi Fu is also an old man who has been on the battlefield for decades, and he can see through the cat in the middle at a glance.
Shi Lang simply surrendered, and the purpose was to lure the Zheng family's sailors into the trap of the Zhoushan base;
Shi Lang and Lin Xishan's back-and-forth negotiations are also to delay time, and to carry out a sneak attack when waiting for the wind direction and trend to be most favorable to Shi Lang's side;
This Shi Lang wants to eat the sailor fleet of the Zheng family's Zhoushan base in one bite!
Shi Fu saw through Shi Lang's trick, and rushed to the gate of the military village without saying a word, just walked to the gate of the military village, but saw Shi Lang in armor and military uniform had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Shi Fu arrive, he said with a smile, "Uncle, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”
Shi Fu coughed and said, "Commander Lin has always been good friends with the Shi family, and invited me to get together, and you and I will go together." ”
Shi Lang took a few steps closer, laughed and said, "Uncle, it's not that Lin Xishan invited you, but you want to report the news, right?" ”
Shi Lang looked at the sky, took a deep breath of the sea breeze and said, "North wind, tide, is there anything else?" By the way, and the infantry in military boots! ”
Since he made his words clear, Shi Fu knew that he couldn't leave today, so he asked angrily, "Shi Lang, I've been monitoring your barracks, where did these infantry soldiers come from?" ”
Shi Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle, they have always been at the Zhoushan Naval Base, have you forgotten to exchange Xu Ru for the 3,000-step battalion sergeant and 5,000 people?" ”
Shi Fu immediately suddenly said in a lost voice, "These 3,000 infantry soldiers did not leave Zhoushan at all, but were taken the opportunity to be sent back to Minfu by you, and they were hidden on other islands. ”
Shi Lang deliberately took the opportunity of exchanging Xu Ru for 3,000 soldiers and 5,000 people, gathered the 3,000 infantry soldiers who were divided on five islands together, and after the troop transport ship went to sea in front of Shi Fu, he made a small circle, and then turned around and returned to other islands for unified settlement.
All this was carried out under Shi Fu's nose, but Shi Fu didn't see the slightest clue, but kept sending wrong information to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhifeng, making Zheng Zhifeng misjudge the true strength of Shi Lang's naval fleet.
Although there are 30,000 Zheng troops stationed on Zhoushan Island, these 3,000 unexpected Xuanjia infantry troops are a sharp blade that can penetrate the heart of Lin Xishan's master!
Shi Fu said dejectedly, "It turns out that you have been acting for your uncle, how did you report the plan to Fang Yuan?" ”
Shi Lang smiled and said, "Uncle, this is not acting, but the most dangerous move in the Art of War - Death - Death!" In the letter I handed over to Fang Junmen for the first time, I didn't ask for Xu Ru at all, but gave Fang Junmen a detailed report on the plan of this death plan. ”
"Fang Junmen has been cooperating since then, and even sent the only hostage, Xu Ru, back to me, this is Fang Junmen's unreserved trust in me Shi Lang. Uncle, just this kindness of acquaintance, Zheng Zhilong can't give it at all. If a confidant dies, how could I, Shi Lang, betray Fang Junmen? By the way, now we shouldn't call him Fang Junmen, but call him the boss, we have long been brothers with different surnames. ”
Only then did Shi Fu know that this time he had fallen into the death plan of Fang Yuan and Shi Lang, thinking that the clansmen in Fujian would definitely be killed by the joint sitting, so he filled his chest with anger on the spot, and fainted to death in anger.
