After letting the Four Heroes of Jiangnan stay behind to help Pan Xu, the governor of Guangdong, track down the murderer who blew up the grain and grass, Zhu Qing led three large ships to the coast overnight and rushed to Kinmen, Fujian.

A few days ago, the Qinglongmen Jinyi Guard, who had received Zhu Qing's order to send troops south, was also on the way to Jinmen at this time.

The military situation is urgent, and everyone is racing against time.

At this time, most of the Zheng family's army had already crossed the Taiwan Strait with Zheng Chenggong and was also rushing to Kinmen. The reason why Zheng Chenggong left Taiwan was precisely because of a series of incidents caused by the death of the imperial court, Zheng Chenggong not only wanted to enter Beijing to face the saint and report the situation in Taiwan to the imperial court, but also wanted to rescue Zhu Qing as soon as possible, so as to join forces to fight against the colonists as soon as possible, of course, Zheng Chenggong was also looking for a strong rear, Kinmen, to become his best choice.

It's just that I never expected that before Zheng Chenggong was ready, the Dutch would already provoke a war!

And with lightning speed, he swept the Zheng Wangfu, the owner of the Zheng Wangfu, Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong was killed by traitors, and the Zheng Wangfu was occupied by the Dutch.

When the news reached Zheng Chenggong's ears, Zheng Chenggong was so sad and angry that he insisted on returning to Taiwan to attack the Dutch and avenge his father. However, Zheng Jun's power in Taiwan was gradually eroded by the Dutch colonists, and Zheng Zhilong left his old department Guo Huaiyi to lead the people to revolt against the Dutch, but because of the disparity in power, they were outnumbered, and they were quickly suppressed and brutally slaughtered by the colonists.

The atrocities of the Dutch colonists provoked the Taiwanese people to revolt, and Zheng Zhilong's old department and Dutch translator He Bin sought an opportunity to break away from the control of the Dutch, fled to the mainland, and reported to Zheng Chenggong. He Bin brought, in addition to the latest war situation in Taiwan at that time, he also brought a military defense map of the colonists who invaded Taiwan. With this map, the chances of Zheng Jun's counterattack on Taiwan will be greatly increased, and without this map, the colonists will face a surprise counterattack.

He Bin and the map became the key conditions for the competition between the two sides. He Bin became the target of public criticism overnight!

However, He Bin's whereabouts are still unknown, he has left Taiwan, and he has not yet arrived in Kinmen, and the most likely whereabouts are in Penghu!

Penghu is not big, but now the war is raging, Penghu is caught in the middle, there are many crises, non-emergency and full certainty, the residents of the island dare not show up, and it is not easy to find He Bin.

Zheng Chenggong had already sent two express ships to Penghu to track down He Bin's whereabouts, but there was no return.

Just as Zheng Chenggong was about to send the third express ship to the sea, the "Qinglong" of Qinglongmen arrived at Kinmen in the evening of the next day!

The arrival of the "Qinglong" made Zheng Chenggong know the news of Zhu Qing, and learned that Zhu Qing was rushing over from Liangguang, Zheng Chenggong was both excited and anxious.

Zheng Chenggong's grief and indignation have escalated from family hatred to national hatred, and the safety of the Taiwan people is affecting Zheng Chenggong's heart day by day.

Fortunately, in the early morning of the third day, three large ships sailing from the direction of Guangdong advanced into Kinmen Bay under the headwind. On the bow of the ship is a large flag embroidered with a green dragon pattern.

"The green dragon is coming!" Zheng Chenggong greeted him at the pier and looked at it with ecstatic.

Seeing the Zheng army on Kinmen Bay, Zhu Qing was anxious, the Dutch had already started a war, and Zheng Chenggong, who was shouldering the mission of protecting the island and defending the country, actually appeared in Kinmen at this time, which also means that the war situation in Taiwan is not optimistic.

"Brother Zhu, I've finally looked forward to you!" As soon as the boat stopped, Zheng Chenggong couldn't wait to meet him.

"Brother Zheng, there is a lot of artillery fire on the island, but why are you here, didn't you say that you were waiting for me to go to Taiwan and fight the enemy with you?" Maybe Zheng Chenggong is excusable, but when Zhu Qing saw Zheng Chenggong, he still couldn't help but reprimand, after all, he knew very well in his heart that Zheng Chenggong had to repel the Dutch! This is also an important reason why Zhu Qingli ensured that the Zheng family and his son returned to Taiwan to guard the treasure island.

Zheng Chenggong knew that he had made a strategic mistake and should not lead his troops to leave the stage, and in the face of Zhu Qing's questioning, he naturally felt sorry, shook his head and said, "In the next mistake, you should not leave your post without permission, so that today the island will lose your family and the people will suffer...... Zheng Chenggong responded, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan persuaded Zhu Qing from the side, after all, the matter has come to this point, and it is still useless to blame, only by calming down and discussing countermeasures can it be possible to make amends.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yuanyuan also met as early as when they were in Sichuan, Chen Yuanyuan reconciled from the middle, and Zhu Qing and Zheng Chenggong gradually calmed down.

"Okay, the matter has come to this, Brother Zhu doesn't have to blame himself too much, what happened to Zheng Wangfu, Zhu Qing is deeply saddened, and I hope that my brother will mourn." Zhu Qing calmed down, patted Zheng Chenggong on the shoulder, the two looked at each other and nodded, and joined hands again.

Zhu Qing followed Zheng Chenggong into the camp, and Zheng Chenggong introduced to Zhu Qing the situation on the island a few days ago. Zhu Qing had a preliminary understanding of the battle situation.

However, Zhu Qing's understanding of Taiwan is naturally not as good as Zheng Chenggong, and if there is an advantage, it is that he has brought some understanding of that war from the 21 st century.

"If we can get the Dutchman's fortification map, it will be very beneficial to us, it will be twice the result with half the effort!" Zhu Qing took a cursory look at the map that Zheng Chenggong had brought, and then added the main strongholds on it that no one had ever seen. Finally, he punched the picture and sighed.

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his face really showed joy, because his countermeasures coincided with Zhu Qingke, and they all put the key conditions for taking the stage on the defense map.

"According to reliable information, He Bin, the old department of my father and a former Dutch translator, has left the island with this map. However, now his whereabouts are unknown. Zheng Chenggong reported.

When Zhu Qing heard this, his eyes lit up, "Why don't you send someone to find it?" ”

"General Qiqi, the major general has already sent two groups of men and two express ships to the sea to search, but ...... It's all about going and not returning......," Zheng Chenggong's lieutenant Zheng Xuan replied.

Zhu Qing looked at Zheng Chenggong suspiciously, Zheng Chenggong nodded helplessly, "It's all my fault, I didn't expect it in advance, the fortification in Penghu is too weak, and it must have been destroyed by the Dutch now, and the people who are sent out now are all going and not returning, He Bin is only afraid that it will be even more dangerous." ”

"No, this He Bin must be found no matter what!" Zhu Qing made a decision immediately.

"General, my subordinates are willing to lead a small team to the sea to search!" The left and right who followed Zhu Qing once again took the initiative to ask for help.

Now that Zhu Qing and his subordinates have safely converged in the Zheng army camp in Kinmen, the actions on the left and right can be more mobile, Zhu Qing glanced at it and asked the inner and outer guards of Qinglongmen, who led the team south, "When will the follow-up troops arrive?" ”

"When I set off, General Cheng Li had returned to Beijing from Kaifeng to standby, and I believe that now he has led reinforcements south, and within three days, he should be able to reach Kinmen." The Qinglongmen guard responded.

The war in Taiwan has reached the imperial court, but the imperial court has paid far less attention to this matter, and most of them do not believe that the Dutch can toss for long, and they will inevitably stop the army and sue for peace within ten days.

Killing Feng and Dongfang Wenbai naturally would not be so optimistic, they tried their best to persuade Chongzhen to send troops to support Taiwan, although Chongzhen was forced by public opinion, he also sent an additional 3,000 soldiers to the south to support. Moreover, it is also a manpower from within the Jinyi Guard, so that the Jinyi Guard who stayed in the Beijing Division is even weaker, which gives the relatives an opportunity to make waves.

However, compared with the war in Taiwan, Killing Feng is more willing to swallow his anger for the time being in terms of party struggle. It's just that so many people of the Qing faction were suddenly withdrawn, which had a great impact on the power of the Qingliu party, and Kill Feng had to transfer back the surrounding forces, but an abnormal situation happened, at this time, the Qing army in Liaodong suddenly found trouble outside the pass, and Baihumen could not obey the dispatch and left Shanhaiguan.

Fortunately, Liangshan and Li Zicheng in Kaifeng helped each other and sent some soldiers and horses back to help the Beijing division, which finally balanced the situation between Korea and China.

After listening to the report of the internal guards, although Zhu Qing hated the party struggle, the top priority was to fight against foreign captivity, he thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and ordered the internal and external guards, "The two of you organized a team of fifty water ghosts, rushed to Penghu in a hurry, and tried every means to track down He Bin's whereabouts!" ”

"Order!" The Qinglongmen guard responded.

"A few of you stay, ready to receive reinforcements at any time." Zhu Qing gave instructions to those who took the initiative to ask for help, after all, they were already familiar with this matter, which could greatly reduce their mistakes.

"Listen to the command!" The left and right hands answered.

"Great, Brother Zhu, with the help of Jinyiwei, I believe that He Bin will definitely be able to find it." After Zheng Chenggong heard this, he was excited.

Zhu Qing nodded and emphasized, "Not only must we find it, but we must find it as soon as possible, and we must find it before the Dutch, otherwise, everything will be meaningless." For this reason, I hope that Zheng Jun can send people to help the water ghost team, after all, you are more familiar with this sea area. ”

"No problem." Zheng Chenggong said firmly, "Zheng Xuan, you quickly organize thirty elite sailors to go to sea with Jinyiwei, and be sure to find He Bin for me!" ”

"Order!" Zheng Xuan received the order.

A team of nearly 100 water ghosts composed of Jinyiwei water ghosts and Zheng Jun sailors drove the Jinyiwei express ship to leave the gate and rushed to Penghu to find the key elements of the attack on Taiwan, He Bin and the defense map in his hand.

After another rising sun, a long haze and a dark night, Kinmen finally ushered in a dawn.

After dawn, the artillery fire on the island gradually subsided, obviously, the rebels chose to attack the Dutch at night, which is a good way, after all, for the Dutch, the Taiwanese rebels are more familiar with the local situation, and night attacks are more beneficial to them. Therefore, at night the Dutch only used artillery to deter the rebels, and did not dare to pour out.

However, after dawn, although the fighting subsided, it was not good for the rebels and the Taiwanese people, because the anger of the Dutch in the dark would be vented on the rebels and the people as the day came. As soon as dawn came, the Dutch invaders began to hunt down and massacre the rebels throughout the city, plunging the entire island into a bloody terror.

And in order to avoid greater losses, in order to annihilate the invaders in one fell swoop and recover Taiwan, Zhu Qing and Zheng Chenggong still have to endure!
