When Jin Li led an army of 30,000 to attack the Fenshui Pass before, Chen Bao had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses on land and water from the rest of the Zheng family, and hundreds of colonels and warships.

At this moment, he suddenly gave up the secession and sent an envoy to express his willingness to surrender, perhaps because he saw the tragic end of those powerful pirates in Chaozhou who fought against the imperial court by force, and clearly understood the strength of the newly-born Yongli Imperial Court and the determination to rectify and clean up the local secession.

If this is the case, it undoubtedly shows that Jiao Lian, Gao Lixun and other generals knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger to suppress the thief action was very successful, greatly reducing the internal friction of the imperial court in the military, the defect is that Chen Bao's submission behavior was forced by the times, the two sides are suspicious of each other, and it may not really be one heart, and there may be mistakes at the critical time of resisting the Qing Dynasty in the future, and there are huge security risks.

Of course, this is just a speculation, perhaps after the imperial court showed enough muscles, began to be optimistic about the future of the Yongli regime, optimistic about the ability of the great emperor in the capital, and felt that the new emperor had the hope of expelling the Tartars and recovering the rivers and mountains, so he sincerely surrendered and found a strong backer for himself in the intricate sea of power.

Without One Piece Zheng Zhilong's hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, his life at sea is not easy, the unstable trade leads to an untimely supply of food and wages, and the Hongmao Fan and Franc people who come and go in the East and West Oceans have strong ships and cannons, and each is not a master to mess with.

Lonely overseas Nanao Island is wide and dangerous, there are Layu, Qingyu surrounded by outside, only one door can enter, as long as a husband is a pass, almost ten thousand people can not open, the terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you can get this extremely important feng shui treasure land for the imperial court without using soldiers, it is naturally the best.

Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun were not sure that Chen Bao's sincerity in returning to the Ming Dynasty was a little, and they didn't dare to be specialized, so they wrote to ask Zhu Youlang for instructions on how to defect, and after some urgent deliberation with the cabinet ministers, Zhu Youlang and the cabinet ministers decided to send Huang Ting, a Fujian general who was also Zheng Zhilong's old department, to contact the matter of returning to Shun, and at the same time test the sincerity of Chen Bao's return.

Huang Ting, formerly Zheng Zhilong, was a general in the Chinese military camp, at the age of 29. His face is round, his eyes and nose are small, his skin is dark, he is seven feet eight inches tall, and his body is a little thin.

In the original history, after Li Chengdong returned to the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Yongli anyway, he was excluded, so he led the rest of the troops to join the Huang Ting's anti-Qing brigade, and since then he has become one of the Liao generals of the Huang Ting, and actively participated in the sea to raise troops against the Qing.

In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1661), he led his troops to recover Taiwan occupied by the Dutch colonists with the Huang Ting, so that Taiwan returned to the embrace of the motherland.

In the third year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1664), with the fall of the Yongli regime and the untimely death of Huang Ting, Huang Ting felt that there was no hope of restoring the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty, and led more than 100,000 people to submit to the Qing court.

In the twenty-third year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1648), he conquered Heilongjiang and fought in Yaxa; In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, he rebelled in Wuchang and Xia Fenglong; In the twenty-ninth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1690), he conquered the Mongolian Junggar Department; Outstanding achievements in his life. At the age of ninety-seven, he died in Dengzhou.

After the task was assigned, Huang Ting knew that the time had come to show his ability, and since he returned to the Ming Dynasty with Li Chengdong, he had been sitting back and enjoying the anointment, and could only watch the other Ming troops fight with the Tartars in Huguang and Jiangxi, and kept making meritorious contributions and promotions, while he and his brothers could only stay in Xingdu every day, except for a little credit in the suppression of bandits, there was almost nothing else to do.

This made Huang Ting, who was only less than thirty years old and had great ambitions and a strong heart for fame and fortune, very depressed in his heart, so he cherished this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and patted his chest and swore to complete the task.

On the second day, Huang Ting only ordered hundreds of soldiers as his entourage, and then sailed to Nanao Island by sea.

Hearing that the Yongli Imperial Court sent Huang Ting as an envoy to Nanao, Chen Bao also wanted to touch the attitude of the imperial court from Huang Ting, so he personally ordered troops and generals to rush to the dock and took Huang Ting and his party into the government office.

After the guest and host sat down, because the relationship between the two and Zheng Zhilong was very close, the conversation naturally couldn't avoid this topic. After exchanging a few polite words with each other, Chen Bao sighed and said in a sad tone:

"Alas, the master has been shrewd all his life, and he has no last resort, and Chen Bao admires him very much. Who would have thought that the Taishi would be confused for a while, fall for the Tartars' tricks, and throw himself into the net, and now he is coerced by Bolo into Beijing, and his life and death are uncertain. It's really painful and hateful, and it's embarrassing. ”

Huang Ting echoed with a look of approval: "At the beginning, if the Taishi could listen to the persuasion of the generals, how could the Tartar treacherous plan succeed?" It's just that he is too self-conscious, he can't listen to the advice of the contrary, he misleads the country and the people, and harms others and himself! ”

After a few words of greeting, and after talking a little warmly with each other, Chen Bao no longer detoured, and said directly to the point: "Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, the national disaster is at the head, and the younger brother has followed Li Junmen Li Chengdong) Anyway, he returned to the Ming Dynasty and was determined to resist the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what Chen Shuai means? ”

After speaking, he looked directly at Chen Bao. It seemed like he wanted to see something in his facial expression.

Chen Bao didn't expect Huang Ting to be so direct and was caught off guard, but fortunately, he did have the intention of surrendering, and he had a plan in his heart, so he only hesitated slightly, and then clearly stated his position: "The captives are rampant, ravaging the Central Plains, usurping Kyoto, and crippling our people.

At this time, although the Taishi is kind to me, I can only give up the luck, take the righteousness, General Huang is determined to serve the people, not afraid of hardships and dangers, the courage of the iron shoulder to bear the morality makes me very admired, I also follow the general to return to the Ming Dynasty, help the saint to restore the Ming Dynasty, and achieve the great cause of Zhongxing! ”

"With Chen Shuai's words, the little brother is relieved, now all industries are difficult, and the saint is thirsty for talent, Chen Shuai is attached this time, straight like sending charcoal in the snow, the future will be rich and prosperous, and the future is limitless!" Hearing Chen Bao say this, Huang Ting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and by the way, he also expressed the attitude of the imperial court.

Chen Bao was happy in his heart when he heard this, he had a rough bottom in his heart, he smiled, and said: "General Huang is young and promising, both civil and military, and has a bright future. ”

The phrase "work together" instead of "obey orders" sets the tone of listening to propaganda and not listening to tune.
