Chapter 782: Operation Thunderbolt (7)
The 1,000 soldiers who rushed to the south of the mansion were very smooth, they rushed straight towards the pier according to the terrain that they had already remembered, and they did not encounter any resistance along the way, and when they rushed to the dock, several waiting sergeants had already been hit by flintlock pistols and fell to the ground, so the soldiers quickly occupied the wharf, as for the ships docked at the wharf, they had no chance to leave, and they did not dare to leave, after the Jiangning battalion soldiers rushed up, the battle on the ship ended quickly, and the small number of sergeants was quickly killed by the Jiangning battalion soldiers.
The officer in command of the operation was very clever, and after the soldiers collected the surrounding corpses and threw them all into the sea, most of the soldiers hid in the houses next to them, or in the back of the houses, and the horses were taken away, making it look as if nothing had happened. The officer understood that at this time, the fighting in the mansion had begun, and everyone in the mansion had raised their vigilance, if Zheng Zhilong and his family wanted to escape from here, they would come over soon, and if they found anything abnormal along the way, they might not come.
In less than ten minutes, a large number of people rushed over.
Among these people, there were men and women, old and young, and they were all heavily armed soldiers in front and behind.
Fifty meters from the pier, the commander raised his steel knife in his hand.
The flintlock pistol began to fire, and the pro-soldiers who opened the road in front were caught off guard, many people fell, and the men, women, and children in the middle of the team instantly became chaotic, and the pro-soldiers at the back of the team rushed to the front, wanting to protect everyone.
The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion also rushed out, the crowd in front was already chaotic, and they couldn't continue to shoot, so as not to hurt Zheng Zhilong's family, and the people who were already in chaos in the middle must be Zheng Zhilong's family.
The number of pro-soldiers who rushed up to meet the battle was small. It was soon surrounded by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion.
The rest of the men, women, and children were also surrounded, but they were separated.
The officer saw Tagawa Song and Zheng Chenggong in the middle of the team at a glance.
The portraits of Tian Chuansong and Zheng Chenggong, they have long remembered that these two people cannot be damaged, and the officer took the lead in rushing to Tian Chuansong and Zheng Chenggong. More than a dozen sergeants rushed over.
Zheng Chenggong's kung fu is also very good, he also has weapons on his body, his fists are hard to beat with four hands, surrounded by four soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and his mother is by his side, Zheng Chenggong does not dare to be presumptuous, he has already seen that these people are wearing the armor of the Ming soldiers, and they must be the Ming army. It's just that I don't know what kind of army Lu Dao is, and the other party is very brave, and with a gesture, he can burst out with murderous energy, at this moment, Zheng Chenggong thought of Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion, if it is a soldier of Jiangning Battalion, they will come from Liaodong or Dengzhou. Its combat effectiveness is incredible.
After a few minutes, most of the men, women, and children were subdued. No one was injured in the process.
However, the pro-soldiers in front were basically killed, although the pro-soldiers were brave, but in the face of the Jiangning battalion soldiers who were more brave than them, plus the absolute disadvantage in numbers. It is impossible to resist for a long time.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zheng Chenggong gave up resistance and put down the weapon in his hand, and he also saw that the sergeants around him. didn't launch an attack with all his strength, otherwise he would have been subdued a long time ago, and these sergeants did not hurt their families, his mother was surrounded by several sergeants, no one moved, and his mother's expression was a little panicked.
Zheng Chenggong, who put down his weapon, quickly spoke.
"I'm Zheng Chenggong, I hope you don't hurt my family."
The officer stood opposite Zheng Chenggong, saw Zheng Chenggong put down the weapon in his hand, and motioned to the soldiers to step forward and seize Zheng Chenggong's weapon, without tying Zheng Chenggong.
"Zhilu said that you are Zheng Chenggong, our adults have already ordered that we will not harm your family."
"Who are you, in broad daylight, who dare to attack the official residence."
"You'll soon find out who we are."
After subduing Zheng Zhilong's family, the officer arranged for 200 people to continue to wait at the dock to prevent accidents, and the rest of the soldiers, escorting Zheng Zhilong's family, walked towards the middle courtyard, they wanted to make peace with Xiong Zijian immediately, as long as Zheng Zhilong's family was caught, including Zheng Zhilong himself, the task was completed.
The soldiers who were waiting outside the mansion caught many of the subordinates who had escaped from the mansion, and these subordinates were all detained in one place, these people's faces were pale, their bodies trembled, and they did not know what fate Lu Dao was going to suffer.
The battle in the middle courtyard continued, two hundred personal soldiers guarded the lobby, after a period of fighting, there was not much left, in order to avoid greater casualties, Xiong Zilong did not rush to launch a general attack, he had been informed of the situation, a thousand soldiers occupied the dock, in this case, blocked the escape route of Zheng Zhilong and his family, and the rest of the time, you can show the power of the Jiangning battalion soldiers.
Zheng Zhilong still did not leave the lobby, and the pro-soldiers guarding around him were also silent, and the pro-soldiers in the front yard did not come over for a long time.
Several Jiangning battalion soldiers ran to Xiong Zijian's side and whispered something, and soon, Xiong Zijian's face showed a smile, and he asked the soldiers around him to wave the flag.
The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stopped the attack.
Xiong Zilong spoke loudly.
"Zheng Zhilong, all your family members have been captured, and it is impossible for your own soldiers to come to reinforce you, you have been surrounded and in a desperate situation, it is better to surrender, otherwise the general attack will start and the jade will be burned."
There was silence in the lobby, and after a while, a dull and majestic voice rang out.
"Who are you, in broad daylight, dare to rob homes and houses, aren't you afraid of the king's law."
"Zheng Zhilong, I'm afraid you forgot, didn't you send three hundred warships to attack Weihaiwei, do you still know the Dao Wang Fa, and still want to talk about the Wang Fa?"
During the conversation, Tian Chuansong, Zheng Chenggong and others were escorted over.
There was an instant exclamation in the lobby, and then a middle-aged man rushed out of the lobby, surrounded by dozens of people guarding the man.
The man was Zheng Zhilong, his face was blue, his eyes were red, he looked at his family, and stared at Xiong Zijian.
"Who are you—Who are you?"
"Ha Luha, the left deputy envoy of this official, the commander of the Jiangning battalion, and Xiong Zijian, the chief military officer of Weihaiwei, you dare to send three hundred warships to attack my Weihaiwei, and the official will protect Weihaiwei and ask you for the crime, the official said unceremoniously, I am afraid that your three hundred warships will all sink into the sea at this moment."
Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale, looking at the many family members who were escorted, he knew very well that at this time, he had no ability to resist, all his family members were caught, if they launched a full-scale attack, it would not take long for the pro-soldiers around him to be wiped out, and the pro-soldiers in the front yard did not come over for a long time, there was definitely no hope, the other party was the Jiangning battalion, the Jiangning battalion of the mighty Ming Dynasty, killed hundreds of thousands of rogues, and the Houjin Tatars who were killed did not dare to act rashly in Liaodong, and went deep into the desert to defeat the Mongolian Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, In the face of such an army, it is impossible to think about the negligence of others.
"This official wants to sue you, your Jiangning camp is a rebellion."
A sneer appeared on Xiong Zijian's face.
"Zheng Zhilong, this official tells you very clearly, you can sue as much as you want, this official wants to see, if it goes to the imperial court, is it you Zheng Zhilong who suffers, or our Jiangning camp admits mistakes, I'm afraid that when the time comes, your Zheng family will be uprooted, your Zheng family only has a small influence in Quanzhou, Fujian, relying on the property usurped at sea, it is so arrogant, the Governor was ordered by the emperor to open the sea ban in Weihaiwei, you dare to attack Weihaiwei for your own selfishness, what kind of thing is this, Do you think that in the imperial court, you can just find a backer, your backers, in front of the Inspector, what is it, the Inspector is merciful, I don't want to deal with you Zheng Zhilong, but unfortunately our subordinates can't do it, in front of the Jiangning Battalion, what is your Zheng family, hundreds of thousands of rogues were exterminated by the Jiangning Battalion, and the Houjin Tartars were beaten by my Jiangning Battalion honestly, how can you allow your Zheng family to be arrogant, okay, this official doesn't want to say more, whether it is a battle or a surrender, you make a decision. ”
Zheng Zhilong's face turned pale, he knew very well that what Xiong Zijian said was true, the Zheng family probably did not have the ability to compete with Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion, the Zheng family was able to dominate at sea, but on land, there was not much combat effectiveness, and when facing the Jiangning battalion, there was no chance of victory, and in the imperial court, Su Tiancheng's influence, even the governor of Fujian, was extremely respected and admired, Su Tiancheng was in the north most of the time, but his influence extended to the south, which shows that his ability is extraordinary, Xiong Zijian's every word was like a dagger piercing into his heart.
The soldiers around him saw Zheng Zhilong's body shake and prepared to support Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong pushed away his own soldiers, with a decadent look on his face.
"Win the king and defeat the king, I, Zheng Zhilong, admit it, let it be disposed of, everyone lay down their weapons, don't resist."
Several pro-soldiers jumped up, ready to speak, but when they saw Zheng Zhilong's helpless and harsh eyes, they obediently shut up.
Xiong Zijian had a smile on his face, he finally lived up to his mission, as long as he caught Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhilong's family, most of the task would be completed, of course, there was one more thing that he firmly remembered, that is, the wealth of the Zheng family, this time it was necessary to clean it up, and the Inspector was still waiting for this silver, so as to solve the problem of the lack of silver in Qingzhou in Dengzhou and Laizhou.
The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion quickly escorted their own soldiers.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong was very cooperative, and took out the token on his body, with this token, the 100,000 sergeants would not have any action, and He Renlong, who was stationed at Wuli Bridge, would be safe, more than an hour had passed, although there were not many people who came out, but the matter must have been rumored, if the 100,000 sergeants moved, it would still be very troublesome.
