When Zheng Chenggong fought fiercely with Franc Ji, Xiamen changed here.

Before the expedition, Zheng Chenggong appointed Hong Xu and Zheng Zhiguan to stay in Xiamen.

After Zheng Chenggong led the army to the battle, Hong Xu fell ill with a wind chill!

Hong Xu, who was sick and lying in bed, couldn't be a director, so he had no choice but to hand over the seal of the dispatch to Zheng Zhiguan to be in charge.

When handing over the seal, Hong Xu repeatedly told him that Xiamen was the base of the general, and he should not take it lightly. If there is a mistake, the two of them will be to blame!

Zheng Zhiguan said disapprerovingly when he heard it: "Nianjing, don't worry, with me, I guarantee that nothing goes wrong." Don't forget, when I attacked the Dutch Li Xiang coalition army, I led my troops to charge into battle. is also a veteran, how can he not know the severity! ”

Hearing Zheng Zhiguan say about the Battle of Kinmen that year, Hong Xu was even more worried.

When attacking the Dutch Liu Xiang coalition army, Zheng Zhiguan fled on the spot.

If he hadn't won the battle that time, if he hadn't been the younger brother of Taishi Zheng Zhilong, he would have been cut down a long time ago.

Hey, although he is not worried about Zheng Zhiguan, he is a deputy general, and he is too sick to be a director, so he can only temporarily entrust him to defend Xiamen.

Hong Xu sent someone to write an urgent letter to Zheng Chenggong, hoping that he could reappoint another person to preside over the overall situation in Xiamen.

Hong Xu's letter did not reach Zheng Chenggong in time, when he was leading a warship to pursue the Francophone deserter at sea.

The Zheng family's naval division went to the south, and a huge army of more than 300 warships went out to fight, and it was impossible to hide the visit of people with intentions.

Not long after the Zheng family fleet set out, Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian, and Ma Degong, the chief soldier of the right road of Fujian, learned that Zheng Chenggong led the main force of the Zheng family's naval division to the south.

Knowing that there were more than 300 warships and more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Xuesheng and Ma Degong were frightened three times a day, for fear that Zheng Chenggong was preparing to attack Zhangzhou, or even attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang across the sea.

They did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Li Qingtai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and at the same time reported to the Qing Dynasty.

After waiting for a few days, I didn't hear about the attacks in Fujian and Guangdong, and at the same time, the spies also told Li Qingtai, Zhang Xuesheng, and Ma Degong more detailed information.

Hearing that Zheng Haikou was going to fight against the Franc Ghost was relieved.

It's good to fight with the ghosts, it's best to lose both, so that the Qing Dynasty will save a lot of trouble!

In the Fuzhou Mansion, Li Qingtai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, sat in the Taishi chair and drank tea, and asked: "General Ma, now Zheng Haikou is short-sighted, in order to compete for small profits, he led the main force of the water division south to fight against the ghosts, and the Xiamen garrison must be thin." Such an opportunity is rare, you are willing to send troops to attack Xiamen, eradicate Zheng Haikou, and sweep the sea frontier! ”

When Ma Degong heard that Li Qingtai was going to send troops to attack Xiamen by himself, his face suddenly turned green.

Nima's, the main force of the Zheng family's sailors is south, but there are still more than a hundred warships and seven or eight thousand sailors.

Relying on the Manchu Qing Dynasty's rotten ships, attacking Xiamen was sent to death.

Ma Degong immediately clenched his fists and said: "Lord Governor, it's not that you are unwilling, you are really powerless. Although the Fuzhou Navy Division also has hundreds of ships, there are only a dozen of them that can fight, and it is not at all the opponent of the Zheng Family Navy Division that has been crisscrossing the East China Sea for decades. Please forgive me, Governor! ”

Hearing Ma Degong's refusal, Li Qingtai's face suddenly turned cold, and he said unkindly: "Then General Ma is unwilling to solve problems for the prince and serve the Qing Dynasty." Or is General Ma half-hearted and ready to learn from Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong? ”

Hearing Li Qingtai's cold tone, Ma Degong sweated profusely.

Since Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong raised troops one after another, the Qing Dynasty has taken strict precautions against Han generals, and even the eradication of Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong has transferred the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry from the north.

If I don't make a statement today, I'm afraid that this damn governor will immediately report to the imperial court to get rid of him.

Ma Degong gritted his teeth and said: "My lord Mingjian, the last general is absolutely loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and there is no second heart!" The last general was willing to lead his troops to attack Xiamen and eradicate Zheng Haikou for the imperial court. ”

Li Qingtai heard it and hurriedly drank: "Okay, I know that General Ma is a loyal person and will not live up to the love of the saint." I'm here waiting for General Ma's good news! ”

Ma Degong said with a bitter face: "The last general went down to prepare for the dispatch of troops, and he retired first!" ”

Li Qingtai shook his head and said, "Go ahead!" ”

The Fujian Navy Division of the Qing Army did not have a few ships capable of fighting at all, and Ma Degong, who was forced by Li Qingtai to send troops, was about to turn gray.

In order to get enough ships, Ma Degong was ruthless and forcibly looted all the ships of the maritime merchants in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, barely enough to scrape together more than 70 Sanfu ships.

With these lucky boats, Ma Degong has some confidence. Departing from Quanzhou, he smuggled into Xiamen by boat on September 26.

On the night of September 27, heavy fog broke out, and the sea area of Xiamen was heavily foggy.

For a long time, the Qing army did not dare to fight against the Zheng family's naval division, causing the Zhengjia naval division to despise the Qing army, believing that they did not dare to cross the sea to attack Xiamen.

The Xiamen Navy Division did not dispatch ships to inspect the sea, and most of them relied on the water village.

At this time, the lights of the water village were lit up, and the voices of people were boiling inside.

"Pressure big and small, bet quickly, buy and leave!" Zheng Zhiguan threw his armor aside, bare arms, holding the porcelain Gu in both hands, and shouted loudly.

"General, the general has always been very strict with military discipline, if the general knows that we gather people in the barracks to gamble, will it ......?" said He De, the commander of the guard, with a hint of worry.

"You're afraid of a fart, Lao Tzu is the uncle of that kid in Mingyan, he dares to do anything to me. Besides, what ghosts he is attacking in Macau, and where is he in charge of us. You put your heart back in your stomach and have a good time! ”

"Yes, yes, the general is right, it is impossible for this general to come, and it is nothing to relax occasionally, those of us who are rolling on the battlefield, there is no tomorrow today, we should take the opportunity to be happy!" The other guard commander echoed in a voice.

He Dequan said: "General, now the general is fighting against the ghosts. We won't go on patrol, in case the Qing army ......"

Hearing that He De had been rambling, Zheng Zhiwan was furious and drank: "You have so much nonsense from there." If you want to play, just play, if you don't play, roll for Lao Tzu, don't disturb Lao Tzu's interest. ”

He De saw that Zheng Zhiguan was angry, sighed, and went out of the camp to prepare to lead his troops to inspect the sea.

"General Ma, in front of you is the Zheng Jiashui Army Camp." Wang Shishan pointed to the camp with lights in the distance and said.

There are reefs and piles outside the Xiamen water village, the water village is surrounded by a row of wooden fences, such as the city, set up four gates to more drum towers, the night then the bell patrol police, and the heavy fence is erected inside, such as a small city. The water village covers the warehouse of the morning warehouse, and all the money and grain are stored in it.

Seeing the camp of the Zheng family's water division, if it weren't for this former Zheng Lian water division deserter to lead the way, it would not be easy to smuggle them over.

"Yes, you did a good job!" Ma Degong squinted and said.

"The general said before......" Wang Shishan looked at Ma Degong nervously, and said a little anxiously.

Ma Degong took out a big silver treasure from his arms and threw it to Wang Shishan, saying, "Here, this is a reward for you!" ”

Wang Shishan took the silver treasure and hurriedly said, "General Xie! General Xie! ”

Under the leadership of Wang Shishan, the Qing army's sailors quietly approached the Zhengjia Water Village.
