December 30th of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the last day of the year.

At that time, the 10,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers were all gathered in Wuliqiao, and it was silent at the moment, and it was dark all around.

Wuli Bridge is four miles away from Zheng Zhilong's mansion and six miles away from the barracks, He Renlong will lead 2,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to garrison here, and Xiong Zijian will lead 8,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers to attack Zheng Zhilong's mansion at the time of Mao. Every soldier knows the topography of Zheng Zhilong's mansion and engraves the topography into his mind, which cannot be neglected, otherwise he may pay the price of blood.

The time has come to divide the troops.

"Lord He, when the Governor led four thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers to face nearly 50,000 rogues, he didn't retreat a single step, it was because of that kind of perseverance that he protected Zhongdu and wiped out tens of thousands of rogue soldiers in one fell swoop, today's situation is even more dangerous, Lord He led two thousand soldiers to meet 100,000 soldiers, I still say the same thing, if the situation is not right, immediately withdraw to the mansion."

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely be able to defend the Wuli Bridge."

At two o'clock, the Zheng family's mansion began to be lively, because Mao Shi had to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and Bodhisattvas, so it was necessary to get up early, in the whole Quanzhou, it is estimated that the entire Fujian, the ancestral hall was built in the mansion, that is, the Zheng family, which is also because of the huge financial resources.

At three o'clock, Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong sat in the lobby, and all the family members arrived in the lobby.

Zheng Zhilong cleared his throat and spoke calmly.

"Over the past year, the ancestors have appeared, the Bodhisattva blessed, my Zheng family has been in good weather, everything is going well, and today we want to worship our ancestors. Worship the Bodhisattva, and ask the ancestors and the Bodhisattva to continue to bless our Zheng family......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong suddenly coughed, if it was someone else, Zheng Zhilong would definitely be furious, at least ask to pull out the Lu to punish him well. But Zheng Chenggong coughed, Zheng Zhilong would not lose his temper, he knew that Zheng Chenggong knew the occasion, and he couldn't help coughing, he must have been a little unwell, and he immediately changed his tone.

"Fusong, what's wrong with you, are you feeling a little unwell?"

Tagawa Matsu, who was beside him, was also ready to stand up.

"Father, mother. There is nothing wrong with the child, he didn't hold back just now, it is the child's fault, and the child is willing to accept the punishment. ”

Zheng Chenggong's face was pale, and he suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy just now, which was something he had never used before.

Zheng Chenggong's face was still noticed by Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong. However, the worship of ancestors and bodhisattvas is too important. It can't be delayed, although Zheng Chenggong's body is uncomfortable, but it also needs to be overcome, and it can't delay big things, so Zheng Zhilong stopped Tian Chuansong's movements with his eyes.

Zheng Chenggong's body is not feeling well, so Zheng Zhilong naturally won't say so much. In the past, it was necessary to review the traditional history of the family, but now I am exempt, hurry up and pay respects, and then find Lang Zhong and take a good look at Zheng Chenggong. Is there something wrong with the body, Zheng Chenggong's position in the family is important, and he can't make mistakes.

At that time, everyone was ready, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to get up and leave the lobby.

Everyone in the lobby suddenly felt that the earth was shaking, and the sound of this vibration was very abnormal, as if it was a large group of cavalry galloping.

Zheng Zhilong's face changed, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the time for the Zheng family to worship ancestors and bodhisattvas, no matter who it is, can not disturb the Zheng family's worship activities, what is wrong today, who is so bold, can it be said that it is the pro-soldiers stationed next to the mansion, besides, there are already small problems with Zheng Chenggong's body in front.

Zheng Zhilong's anger came out.

"Bastard, what's going on, go check on it immediately, and bring me the people who disturbed my Zheng family's worship activities."

As soon as Zheng Zhilong's words were finished, several people hurriedly ran over, and their faces were bloodless.

"Master, it's not good......"

Several people spoke at the same time, and the scene suddenly became a little chaotic, Zheng Zhilong's face changed, but he still remained calm.

"What's the hurry, speak slowly."

"Master, the cavalry of the brigade has attacked......"

Xiong Zijian took 8,000 soldiers and quietly came to Zheng Zhilong's mansion.

Zheng Zhilong's mansion is very large, the south gate is the main gate, the construction is very majestic, the decoration is also to the extreme, it looks atmospheric, and it is splendid, if it is not for the dignity of the royal family, Zheng Zhilong will even build the gate larger than the noon gate of the Forbidden City.

There are people waiting at the door, the south gate is generally not opened, unless there are distinguished guests to visit, according to Zheng Zhilong's requirements, the governor and the three divisions of the province are coming, they must open the south gate, sometimes, the prefect himself comes, but also to open the south gate, the rest of the time, the south gate is closed.

Because it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the people guarding the south gate looked a little slack, a total of eight people.

After Xiong Zijian waved his hand, the arrow crossbow was fired, the target was extremely accurate, and the eight people standing at the gate of the mansion did not have time to speak, all of them fell to the ground, and the dead could not die again.

The soldiers acted quickly, and thirty people entered through the small door hidden on the side of the south gate, and swung their knives to the two people in the door who had not yet reacted, and quickly opened the south gate.

According to the prior deployment, an officer with 3,000 people rushed into the south gate on horseback and headed towards the barracks in the north, an officer with a thousand soldiers rode towards the wharf in the south, and a thousand soldiers were responsible for waiting on the periphery, and quickly divided into four teams to guard the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, Xiong Zijian personally led 3,000 people and rushed towards the lobby.

The Zheng family's mansion is indeed very large, Xiong Zijian, who led the soldiers to attack, almost lost his mind, how much silver is needed to build such a luxurious mansion, no wonder it is said that the Zheng family is rich and rivals the country.

Zheng Zhilong already knew that a great change had taken place in the mansion, and someone had attacked him.

In addition to being furious, Zheng Zhilong couldn't think of it so much, there were five hundred personal soldiers around him, these personal soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they had been following left and right for a long time, and they were not afraid of death, and they were absolutely trustworthy.

The pro-soldiers around him have already begun to move, some of them began to surround the lobby, some of them began to gather around Zheng Zhilong, Tian Chuansong, Zheng Chenggong and others, and some of them were ready to leave the lobby to face the battle.

Zheng Zhilong also regained his composure and began to arrange.

Someone dares to attack the Zheng family's mansion, this is definitely not done by ordinary people, looking at the entire Fujian, no one has dared to do such a thing, even if it is some fierce bandits, even pirates, they will never dare to pull out their whiskers in the tiger's mouth, Zheng Zhilong does not know who these are, why do they want to attack the Zheng family's mansion, but the other party is very able to seize the opportunity, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, when the Zheng family relaxed their vigilance, came to attack, it seems that they have planned it a long time ago.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly thought of something, a few days ago, someone discussed, saying that there were officials and soldiers patrolling the Fujian Xingdu Division, saying that it was a festival and it was necessary to maintain the law and order of one side, could it be said that these people were the officers and soldiers of the Xingdu Division. The officials and soldiers of the Xingdu Division, the conditions are not very good, they get the military salary of the imperial court, not to mention very low, and they have to suffer from the deduction of the officers, are these people poor and crazy, dare to attack their own mansions and rob the silver, who does not know that the Zheng family is rich and rivals the country.

The pro-soldiers began to act, some of the pro-soldiers escorted their families to the south, on the premise of not knowing the situation, they still had to go to the dock, they could get on the boat, everything was safe, some of the pro-soldiers quickly went to the pro-military camp in the north, notified the pro-soldiers there, and quickly resisted, I am afraid that the pro-military camp also knew the news, and some people guarded Zheng Zhilong's side.

Zheng Zhilong, who has been a pirate, instinctively chooses to let all the family members go to the ship, as long as the warship leaves the dock, it must be safe, and the Zheng family's warship formation is not far from here.

After a brief period of panic, the situation quickly stabilized.

Just when Zheng Zhilong was making emergency arrangements, Zheng Chenggong walked to Zheng Zhilong's side.

"Father, the child is going to kill the enemy with his own soldiers, and I ask my father and mother to get on the boat quickly and leave for the time being."

Zheng Zhilong stared at Zheng Chenggong, at the critical moment, Zheng Chenggong was able to be so calm, which was very gratifying to him, but at this time, it was not the time to be a hero, everything was unclear, and it was better to ensure safety first, not to mention that Zheng Chenggong was the future head of the family, and the burden on his body was not light.

"Fusong, together with your mother, take the rest of the people, get out of here quickly, and I'll take care of the rest, hurry up."

Zheng Chenggong, who has always been obedient, did not obey this time.

"Father, the child has grown up, and the family suffers from this incident, the child naturally has to contribute, if the father asks the child to hide, the child will resolutely disagree."

Zheng Zhilong's anger came up, such a big thing happened at home, everyone must obey the arrangement, if they all want to kill the enemy, wouldn't it become a mess, Zheng Chenggong has such an idea It is very good, but after all, he is not very old, at such a time, he must obey the arrangement and take good care of others.

Zheng Zhilong hadn't opened his mouth to reprimand, and Tian Chuansong on the side spoke.

"Fusong, it's all this time, you have to obey your father's arrangement, the family suddenly encountered such a big thing, if you don't obey the arrangement, how can your father arrange other people."

When Zheng Chenggong was young, he always followed his mother's side, especially filial piety, after Tian Chuansong spoke, Zheng Chenggong stopped talking and followed everyone towards the south.

The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, Zheng Zhilong cheered up, no matter what the other party's origin was, he wanted to exterminate this group of daring bandits, even if it was an army sent by the imperial court, he would not be polite, it had come to this point, and there was nothing polite to say, if the family couldn't keep it, what could he do if he didn't rebel.
