Chapter 151: A Sword Without Blood

Cast the king?

Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu's hearts moved, this is a good place. After the failure www.biquge.info of the Northern Expedition last year, the king of Qi rescued tens of thousands of Zheng soldiers and their families, and even Yu Xin and Gan Hui stayed in the Taiping army, which shows that the king of Qi is quite tolerant. At present, Zhejiang has been controlled by the king of Qi, and Fujian is only in Fuzhou, and it is expected that in the future, this Fujian land will definitely be owned by the king of Qi. At that time, even if Zheng Xi and Zheng Jing were victorious, they would have to face the soldiers of King Qi.

Zheng Mingjun thought that when his eldest brother was there, the reason why he tried his best to support Zheng Jing against Zheng Raid and did not mediate with the King of Qi was to take advantage of the Taiping Army's temporary inability to take care of Jinxia, preemptively solve Zheng Raid, and integrate the Jinxia Second Water and Land Division to negotiate with King Qi to ensure that the strength and interests of the Zheng family would not change due to the death of the Sen Domain. That's the case, the eldest brother Zheng Tai has never thought of taking the initiative to confront the King of Qi, and is even secretly preparing to attack Dongfan, which shows that the eldest brother is afraid of King Qi and the Taiping Army in his heart, otherwise he would not arrange the retreat of Dongfan. Now that the eldest brother has been killed by Zheng Jing, he and his nephew Zhang Xu will definitely not be tolerated by Zheng Jing, and they can save their lives by going to Japan, but this revenge for killing their brother and father may not be avenged in this life. Yu Yu survived in Japan, so it was better to vote for the king of Qi and ask the army of the king of Qi to avenge his uncle and nephew.

Thinking of this, Zheng Mingjun was willing to go to the king of Qi, but Zheng Zhangxu suddenly asked why Feng Xifan wanted to save his uncle and nephew. Feng Xifan said that he had always respected the Marquis of Jianping, and he couldn't bear to be killed by Zheng Jing, so he had the courage to save him, but unfortunately he still failed to save the Marquis of Jianping. Whether what Feng Xifan said is true or false, Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu can't tell whether it's true or not, but the fact is that his uncle and nephew were saved by Feng Xifan, no matter what Feng Xifan's purpose of saving people is, his uncle and nephew finally owe Feng Xifan a great grace to save his life.

"Why do you want us to vote for the king of Qi, could it be that you have already voted for the king of Qi?" Zheng Jinxu couldn't help but ask.

Listening to his nephew's question, Zheng Mingjun couldn't help but look at Feng Xifan. Feng Xifan smiled slightly, and did not hide it from his uncle and nephew, and said bluntly: "Yes, I have indeed served the King of Qi. ”

Seeing Feng Xifan admit it, Zheng Zhangxu knew in his heart, and secretly said that Feng Xifan saved his uncle and nephew, and I am afraid that most of it was related to his early surrender to the king of Qi.

Zheng Mingjun groaned slightly, and said: "Feng Xian's nephew, the Ming people don't say secret words, you persuade my uncle and nephew to go to the king of Qi, I'm afraid that the king of Qi has the heart to use my uncle and nephew, otherwise, how can you take such a risk." ”

Although Zheng Tai died, most of the generals of the Jinxia Navy Division were Zheng Tai's cronies, so although Zheng Tai died, Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu still had a great influence on the Jinxia Navy Division, and they were no longer worthless. Feng Xifan took the risk to save his uncle and nephew, and joined the king of Qi early, and persuaded his uncle and nephew to vote for the king of Qi, Zheng Mingjun naturally thought that the king of Qi wanted to use his uncle and nephew to split the Jinxia Sailor and weaken Zheng Jing's strength.

However, Zheng Mingjun was wrong about this matter, Zhou Shixiang did play chess pieces in Jinxia early on, or summoned him with the righteousness of the imperial court, or lured him with money and beauties, and secretly bought and attracted a group of middle and low-level generals in the Zheng army. This matter had already been taken into action after Zheng Sen's failed Northern Expedition to Jinxia last year, and at least dozens of Zheng Sergeants who were unwilling to stay in the Taiping Army and returned to Jinxia had been recruited by the Military Intelligence Department. It's just that because of their low status, these people can only lurk secretly after returning to Jinxia and can't play much of a role. On the other hand, because Zheng Sen was still there, he also nominally surrendered to the southern capital, so the Military Intelligence Department was not too active in Jinxia, in addition to attracting some low-level generals, the eyes of the Zheng army's high-level were almost a blank slate, which led to Zheng Sen's death, Zhou Shixiang was difficult to influence the Jinxia situation through the Zheng army's high-level officials.

Feng Xifan's father, Feng Chengshi, is a big man in Jinxia, but he is a small person, Zhou Shi's cognition relative to him, he only thinks that he is the same as the head of the Heaven and Earth Society Chen in the future, and he is a good hand in the rivers and lakes. These two people are very famous because of a novel, but the greater the fame, the more Zhou Shixiang dare not solicit. In reality, Chen Yonghua is Zheng Jing's teacher, and now Zheng Jing's military advisor joins the army, and as soon as Zheng Tai dies, Chen Yonghua can be said to be the first person under Zheng Jing. Such a character, if he wants to change his position, it is obviously impossible to betray Zheng Jing. As for Feng Xifan, the intelligence reported by the Military Intelligence Department shows that he is just a son-in-law, and he doesn't even have an official position, so he has no value in wooing. In addition, his father was Feng Chengshi, so the Military Intelligence Department at that time gave the conclusion that it was untouchable, because if it was not done well, it was likely that Feng Chengshi would discover the activities of the Taiping Army in Jinxia, and if Feng Chengshi reported to Zheng Sen, who was still there, it was likely that the efforts of the Military Intelligence Department would be in vain.

However, what Zhou Shixiang didn't expect was that he didn't go to win over Feng Xifan, but Feng Xifan didn't know how to find out about the activities of the Military Intelligence Department in Jinxia, and took the initiative to express to them that he was willing to serve the King of Qi. When the news was delivered to Zhang An, Zhang An was a little surprised, because he knew that the marshal had mentioned Feng Xifan's name more than once, and also said that this person was powerful and had no blood in a sword. But according to the news that Zhang An got, although Feng Xifan practiced some fists and feet, it was only a common kung fu in the army, not a martial arts master, which was very inconsistent with the image of Feng Xifan who was on the lips of the handsome.

Whether the sword is really bloodless, Zhang An can't really verify it, and he reported Feng Xifan's defection to Zhou Shixiang according to the procedure. However, according to Zhou Shixiang's instructions, he got involved with Feng Xifan and recruited him into the Military Intelligence Division, but he did not arrange any affairs for him, which can be regarded as a hidden chess piece. After Zheng Jing and Zheng Xi started the war, the main task of the Military Intelligence Department was to probe the military situation of both sides, judge their strength, and provide reliable information for the Taiping army to attack Jinxia in the future. All this has nothing to do with Feng Xifan, but because of his father Feng Chengshi, Feng Xifan was promoted to guard by Zheng Jing. When Zhang An learned the news, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring a message to Feng Xifan, asking him to hide by Zheng Jing's side and not expose it. Zhang An realized that with the improvement of Feng Xifan's status, this chess piece may play an unexpected role one day in the future.

Zhang An's intentions are good, although Feng Xifan was valued by Zheng Jing as a guard, but after all, he is just a guard, and he has no military power in his hands, so if he is exposed now, he will not have much value. When Feng Xifan really has power, his rebellion will have lethal power. It's just that Zhang An didn't expect that Feng Xifan was a person who was unwilling to be silent, or unwilling to be at the mercy of others, or that he was a person with his own ambitions and ambitions.

Feng Xifan took the line of the Taiping Army when Zheng Sen was there, just because he saw that the Zheng family had come to an end, and with the continuous victory and growth of the Taiping Army, the future of this world must belong to the Taiping Army, not the Zheng family. Although his father Feng Chengshi was an official appointed by Zheng Sen, he was a Ming minister after all, so he also regarded himself as a Ming minister since he was a child, and he never thought that he was a retainer of the Zheng family. He was young and ambitious, and he was unwilling to sink with the Zheng family, so he chose to take refuge in Zhou Shixiang, who was in full swing, so that he could make a difference in the future. But the Military Intelligence Department never gave him anything to do, as if he didn't exist, which made him very unhappy. He understood that if he wanted to enter Zhou Shixiang's sight and get the attention of His Royal Highness King Qi, who controlled the Son of Heaven, he had to do something and do something big to impress King Qi.

The relationship between Zheng Tai, Marquis of Jianping, and Zheng Jing is a major event that Feng Xifan has set for himself. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just the son of the engineer Feng Chengshi, a son-in-law, but no one knows that he Feng Xifan has a skill that even his father doesn't know, that is, he can imitate the handwriting of anyone he has ever seen.

Under Feng Xifan's arrangement, Zheng Jing got a "handwritten letter" written by Zheng Tai to Zhou Shixiang, and then, as Feng Xifan expected, Chen Yonghua and Hong Xu, two newcomers who had no foundation in Jinxia, encouraged Zheng Jing to strike first, get rid of Zheng Tai, and completely control the military and political affairs of Jinxia.

Feng Xifan guessed people's hearts very accurately, Zheng Jing even disobeyed his father's order, in order to save his life, for the sake of status, he could do anything, he was never a character who was willing to be coerced by others. From the very beginning, Feng Xifan believed that it was impossible for Zheng Jing to be willing to be held by Zheng Tai, even if he didn't kill Zheng Tai now, he would do it immediately after solving Zheng Tai's attack. Zheng Jing had murderous intent, and the letter forged by Feng Xifan only made this murderous intent come true in advance. Zheng Tai, who had just won the naval battle, was deceived into Xinghua and was killed by Zheng Jing as Feng Xifan hoped.

This is just Feng Xifan's first step, just using a trick to get Zheng Jing to get rid of Zheng Tai is just the beginning. Zheng Tai's death will certainly make Zheng Jing lose the hearts of the people in Jinxia, but it is not enough to be his fatal blow in a short period of time, and it will only affect his military morale. What can really make Zheng Jing finish is the betrayal of relatives, and Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu are undoubtedly the biggest helpers to complete this plan.

Saving this uncle and nephew was originally the key to Feng Xifan's plan. He wanted to solve the Zheng Jing for the King of Qi by himself.
