On the night of July 15, Zheng Chenggong took the risk and personally touched the house of his fourth uncle Zheng Zhiguan in the dark.

"Why are you here? Don't you want to die? Zheng Zhiguan asked in horror, and immediately summoned all the soldiers over.

"No matter who comes tonight, they say I'm sick and rested early, and no one is there!"

Then Zheng Zhiguan asked them to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.

Then let them stand guard at the door, and no one should come near.

"Fourth uncle, my nephew is here to ask for your help today. Help our Zheng family! Zheng Chenggong said to Zheng Zhiguan.

"Fourth uncle, I think about how beautiful our Zheng family was in Fujian back then, but since my father deceived Qinggou, our Zheng family has been torn apart, allowing the Tartars to take the opportunity to occupy Fujian. Now that the Tartars are approaching step by step, our Zheng family is already in danger! The nephew is useless, so that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated again and again, and now there is no food and grass, and he is unable to resist the Qing Dynasty anymore. Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian, the two brothers, are short-sighted, and they will be known all day long, and they will eventually be eradicated by the Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, there will be eggs under the nest, and our Zheng family will inevitably be wiped out! Zheng Chenggong said.

"Help? How can I help? My eldest brother, your father entrusted the Xiamen Navy Division to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian that day, how can I help you now without soldiers and power? Zheng Zhiguan said angrily.

Zheng Zhiguan was originally a greedy person, since Zheng Zhilong handed over Xiamen to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian to take charge, Zheng Zhiguan has not had much source of income, and Zheng Zhiguan has a lot of resentment towards Zheng Zhilong.

"Fourth uncle, now that my father is trapped in Beijing, any grievances have passed. Now that our Zheng family is in danger, please ask the fourth uncle to help his nephew for the sake of the same ancestry! Zheng Chenggong pounced hard and knelt down for Zheng Zhiguan.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Watching Zheng Chenggong kneel, Zheng Zhiguan's resentment towards Zheng Zhilong also disappeared by half.

"If the fourth uncle doesn't agree, the nephew will be a dead end when he goes back, and he will have no face to see the ancestors of the Zheng family, and the nephew might as well kneel and die here with the uncle!" Zheng Chenggong said decisively.

"Hey, you don't know the current situation, Zheng Cai is in charge of the government, Zheng Lian is in charge of the army, and the two of them have joined forces to control the military and political power, so I don't have any power to help you? And what do you want to do? Looking at his nephew's down-and-out appearance now, Zheng Zhiguan also said helplessly.

"Fourth uncle, you are my father's younger brother, and you are very familiar with Zheng Zhilong's old army, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are afraid of you and don't let you take charge of the army. As long as you help your nephew, you get Xiamen. You are my uncle, our Zheng family is back in charge of Xiamen, this is not happy! Zheng Chenggong said to Zheng Zhiguan with analysis and temptation.

"Do you want to map Xiamen?" Zheng Zhiguan was a little moved in his heart, but he was also a little hesitant.

"Uncle, what are you hesitating about? If you don't help your nephew, why do you help outsiders? What's more, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian can't fully trust you, but they see that the same Zheng family is on the way, and they can get rid of you at any time. I am your own nephew, once I take Xiamen, can I still use outsiders without my relatives? Uncle, don't make a mistake about yourself! Zheng Chenggong saw the opportunity and increased his chips.

Zheng Zhiguan thought about it and felt that the blood relationship was more reliable than Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian. Anyway, he can't be reused here, it's better to fight to the death, anyway, Zheng Chenggong is also his own nephew, and he won't treat himself badly in the end.

"Okay, Fourth Uncle, I will rely on you for the rest of my life, and I will support you and revitalize the Zheng family!"

After winning over Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Chenggong also decided to rebel against another person - Zheng Cai's personal soldier Zeng De!

In order not to attract Zheng Lian's attention, Zheng Chenggong did not go out in person, but sent a personal soldier to contact him.

Zeng De used to be a personal soldier by Zheng Cai's side, and he lived a fairly wanton life.

But since Zheng Lian was slacking off in the Battle of Haicheng, Zeng De was sent by Zheng Cai to persuade and pressure Zheng Lian to attack Haicheng with his heart, everything has changed.

Zheng Lian was annoyed that Zheng Chenggong had held him hostage in public, robbed him of military power, and made him lose face, and since then he has hated Zheng Chenggong, and even Zeng De, who had taken the chicken feather as an arrow to order him to attack, also hated.

Zheng Lian often said in front of Zheng Cai that Zeng De was a three-sex domestic slave, and he couldn't believe it.

Zheng Cai listened too much, and naturally began to alienate Zeng De.

Zeng De felt wronged, but he was helpless in the face of Zheng Lian.

At this time, hearing Zheng Chenggong's promise, Zeng De, who was sad by Zheng Cai's side, immediately agreed to submit to Zheng Chenggong.

In early August, Zheng Chenggong sent a message to Zheng Cai.

The letter roughly means: The Qing army attacked our Tong'an, and our army suffered heavy losses, and now the army has run out of food. For the sake of the same sect, you can take your brother a hand and relieve him. I am willing to give you the position of the head of the Zheng family and let you lead the Zheng family.

When Zheng Cai read the letter, he was immediately overjoyed!

Zheng Chenggong, who is in the lineage, softened in his sideline, and his sideline finally overwhelmed Zheng Chenggong, the lineage.

Zheng Cai was happy, he didn't think about anything else at all, and hurriedly agreed to Zheng Chenggong's conditions.

In order to show his generosity, Zheng Cai sent several lucky boats carrying 10,000 stones of grain and grass to Haicheng to help Zheng Chenggong through the difficulties.

After Zheng Chenggong received the grain and grass, he immediately replied that he must personally go to Xiamen on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival to thank Zheng Cai for his acceptance, and at the same time discuss the matter of surrendering!

On 15 August, Zheng Chenggong and more than a dozen of his subordinates boarded Xiamen on a sea ship.

Zheng Chenggong stepped off the deck of the ship and rode to the front of Zheng Cai's mansion with the escort.

"Loyalty and filial piety have arrived!"

Zheng Cai's personal soldiers saw Zheng Chenggong's team from a distance, and immediately reported it loudly.

Zheng Cai heard that he hurriedly stood up from the desk and said, "It's here!" Let's all join me and greet you! ”

Zheng Cai pulled Zheng Lian, who looked unhappy, out of the lobby first, and a group of people followed them according to their status, and walked to the entrance of the hall to greet Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong was followed by Gan Hui, who acted as the right forward, and five or six personal soldiers from several tiger guard battalions.

Zheng Cai walked out of the mansion and saw Zheng Chenggong and others wearing a soldier's uniform, and the entourage did not bring weapons, so he immediately calmed down, it seems that this guy is sincerely grateful to himself.

Zheng Chenggong also saw Zheng Cai, who was at the forefront of the crowd;

It's very different from the cousin I remembered.

Zheng Cai, who has not been to sea to fight for a long time, has already raised a hus.

Zheng Cai is fat, wearing armor, and the whole person looks like a winter melon, which makes people want to laugh.

Zheng Chenggong worked hard for a long time before he could hold back his smile.

When the main owner came, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and apologized to Zheng Cai with his fists.

"Yan Ming is ashamed, and I have to bother you to wait here!"

Zheng Cai laughed and said, "Where, wait a minute, it should be." When I thought that when I first met you back then, I was still weak, and I couldn't imagine that in the blink of an eye, the virtuous nephew was already a big hero that everyone admired! Hahaha......"

Zheng Chenggong suddenly looked pitiful, took Zheng Cai's hand, and said in a choked voice, "Uncle Cousin, don't come to sarcastically mock me, where am my cousin and nephew a big hero now." Embattled and impoverished, the next meal of the three armies is a problem. In case it is over, now Yan Ming is here to take refuge in you, hoping to have a place to live and a bite to eat! ”

Zheng Cai heard, "Why did the virtuous nephew say this, as an uncle, how could he let you suffer!" Come, let us come into the house and say......"

Zheng Cai pulled Zheng Chenggong and walked towards the house, and as he walked, he introduced everyone to the attendees.

Zheng Chenggong responded enthusiastically and recalled the past.
