Chapter 265: Governor Zeng Hualong

There were more than a dozen ships in the opposite fleet, and when they saw a huge fleet approaching, the incoming ships were immediately panicked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Who are you? Dare to attack the officer's fleet! On the bow of the leading sailboat opposite, a Ming army general with a Shandong accent shouted loudly.

"We are a warship under the command of Zhejiang Haiphong guerrillas, come to the ship and stop the ship for inspection!" After intercepting the merchant ships going to sea, the Daishan military fleet was very experienced, and cooperated with each other, shuttling in the opponent's fleet, two in groups, and forcing all the other side's sailing ships.

"What a bold man, you are just a small guerrilla, but our adult is the governor of Denglai, Zeng Hualong Zeng!" The Dengzhou general on the bow of the ship shouted inwardly.

However, the soldiers of the Daishan Army ignored him, but forcibly intercepted him, and countless flying claws were thrown, firmly grasping their hull.

The huge fleet of Wang Zhiren, the commander of Dinghai, was beaten by them, and how could the governor of Denglai be put in their eyes. Besides, the north has fallen for a few months, who knows if this governor of Denglai is true or not?

In the rear of a ship, hearing that the fleet was intercepted, Zeng Hualong, the governor of Denglai, was shocked and angry. Unexpectedly, he had just escaped from the Jedi in Dengzhou and fell into the hands of tigers and wolves.

Zeng Hualong is a native of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, and a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. He has been an official for nearly 30 years, and has successively served as a county commander, a fellow intellectual, a member of the Nanjing household department, and a waiter in the military department. Chongzhen forty-three years of governor Denglai, when the territory was ruined, thieves swarmed, and many cities in Jiaodong were broken. Hualong led the troops, restored Gaomi, and relieved the siege of Jiaozhou.

Later, the Shun army broke through Beijing, and after the news reached Shandong, the Ming army surrendered to the Shun army one after another, but Hualong insisted on not surrendering and stuck to Dengzhou. However, the Shun army was defeated by the Manchus and withdrew from the capital.

When the news of the defeat of the Shun army first came, Zeng Hualong also cheered, thinking that the Ming Dynasty was promising. Immediately, when the Manchurians entered Beijing and issued an order to shave their hair, the people of the capital fled one after another, and Zeng Hualong knew that it was impossible to drive the wolf into the tiger.

Compared to the Shun army, the Manchus were more barbaric and more powerful. After Wu Sangui in the north surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with the Guanning army, there was no longer a force that could resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Frustrated, Zeng Hualong had the heart to return home, so he took a group of entourages and subordinates to leave Dengzhou on more than ten naval warships and went south by sea!

Who knew that he had just left the waters of Shandong and had not yet reached the mouth of the Yangtze River, but was intercepted by the fleet of officers and soldiers, how could Zeng Hualong not be surprised?

But when he knew that the other party was a fleet of nearly 100 ships, Zeng Hualong did not dare to order resistance at all.

When he heard that it was the fleet of the governor of Denglai who intercepted it, Ren Siqi was stunned.

The governor is the real feudal official, the head of the local civil officials, if it was in the past, Ren Siqi, a small guerrilla general, would not even have the qualifications to meet others, and it would not be enough to see at all.

But now it's a troubled time, and a soldier is the king of grass, and Ren Siqi is strong and strong, so he naturally doesn't care about an outdated governor. Zeng Hualong must have abandoned his official position and fled, and Ren Siqi naturally didn't care about this kind of evasion.

However, since he is in the Ming army system, he will continue to fight in this system for a long time in the future, so naturally he can't make enemies everywhere. It is reasonable for Ren Siqi to visit Zeng Hualong.

......

"The last general, Zhejiang coastal defense guerrilla Ren Siqi to meet Lord Zeng!" After taking control of all the ships, Ren Siqi boarded Zeng Hualong's ship. He hugged his fist and saluted Zeng Hualong.

Looking at the young guerrilla general opposite, the corners of Zeng Hualong's mouth twitched, if it was in the past, which military general would not have to kneel when he saw him? And the person in front of him just bowed with a grin.

Ren Siqi was also looking at the person opposite, in his fifties, short stature, black and thin, gray beard, and a face that was not angry and arrogant. At first glance, it is a long time to be in a key position.

"This is not Zhejiang, I don't know what General Ren is here, and why did he intercept the official's boat?" Zeng Hualong asked Ren Siqi coldly.

"The last will be a coastal defense guerrilla, and patrolling the sea is naturally your duty, but my lord, you are the governor of Denglai, but how can you leave the station privately and go south by boat, but you abandon the official and flee?" Ren Siqi asked lightly.

"Bold! How can the behavior of this officer be questioned by a small guerrilla? Seeing that Ren Siqi was rude, Zeng Hualong scolded sharply.

"Hehe, it stands to reason that your official position is much higher than that of the last general, but if you leave your post without permission, abandon your official position and run away, you will no longer be the governor of Denglai, but a sinner of the court, how can the last general not be asked!"

Zeng Hualong looked coldly at the little guerrilla general in front of him, but when he saw that the other party looked relaxed and relaxed, Zeng Hualong knew that with his status as a jinshi and the official position of governor of Denglai, he could no longer deter the other party. If you provoke the other party, a martial artist like this can do anything. Kill everyone and throw corpses into the sea, I shudder when I think of Zeng Hualong! The tone involuntarily softened.

"General Ren," Zeng Hualong took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute, "The north is too critical, the people have entered Beijing, and people have been sent to appease Shandong, and all parts of Shandong have surrendered to the Qing, Hualong is weak and unable to return to the sky, and he is unwilling to surrender to the alien race like others, so he can only take a boat to the south and return to his hometown." ”

"Everyone is an official of the imperial court, presumably General Ren can understand the actions of the lower officials, please make it convenient!"

For a jinshi, the governor of the imperial Shi Denglai, bowed his head to a general, which was a great shame for Zeng Hualong, but under the eaves, how could he not bow his head!

For Zeng Hualong, Ren Siqi is unwilling to do too much, he is not a robber, and he can't do anything to kill people and oversell goods, although the other party has more than ten big ships, and the property on board is no longer a few.

And Zeng Hualong just fled Dengzhou, and did not surrender to the Manchus, this kind of person's integrity is much better than those shameful traitors, and Ren Siqi is not willing to go too far.

"Lord Zeng, there will be a reluctant request in the end, and I hope that my lord can satisfy it!" Ren Siqi smiled at Zeng Hualong.

came, Zeng Hualong's heart was tight, the other party must have asked for property, he has been an official for decades, and the accumulated property is on this boat, but he is about to be blackmailed by the other party in vain, Zeng Hualong's heart is dripping blood.

"General, please." Knowing the other party's purpose, Zeng Hualong was helpless.

"Lord Zeng, since you are no longer the governor of Denglai, the official seal in your hand will no longer be useful, can you give it to your subordinates?" Ren Siqi's words made Zeng Hualong stunned.

"Official seal, what do you want the official seal to do?" The official seal is a status symbol of an official, and naturally there is no room for mistakes, but since Zeng Hualong abandoned the official and did not do it, the official seal was useless to him.

"I heard that the north is ruined, and I will have the heart to go to Shandong to find out the movements of the Manchus and rescue some people in Shandong. With the official seal of the adult, the actions of the lower officials will be smoother. Ren Siqi's words made Zeng Hualong shocked and ashamed. (To be continued.) )
