Chapter Seventy-Five: Closing the Net

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this is the truest portrayal of the Zheng family's mother and son now. The woman held the young Zheng Chenggong in the face of the pressure of Yue Su's soldiers, although she had the heart of death, but she had a little vitality, and she also wanted to fight for it. It's just that let your children worship each other as their father-in-law, and in other words, there may be some discussion, but now, what is the purpose of the other party?

When she hesitated, Yue Su smiled kindly and said: "This official is a product of the dynasty, Yue Su, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, feels that he has a bit of fate with your child, so he intends to recognize him as a righteous son." Although Ru Fujun is a pirate, but the court is at the time of employing people, and the governor can't bear to become a hero and become a bandit, so he has the heart to recruit peace. You can take the child and Ben Tu now, your husband is now a turtle in the urn, and his life is on the line, if he can understand the current affairs, Ben Du can open the net, leave him alive, and reunite your family. Not only that, but the governor will also promote him to the imperial court and make him a general. With such a generous treatment, I wonder what you think as a wife? ”

Zheng Zhilong's wife is *** overseas Chinese, since marrying Zheng Zhilong, she has lived a life of swords and swords, worrying about her husband all day long, if the adult in front of her is telling the truth, the court can really recruit An, and give her husband an official, it would be better, and save yourself from worrying about your husband all day long. But is this possible? Now that the imperial court has hit the door and has an advantage, will this be using itself as bait to blackmail her husband.

She didn't answer immediately, but Yue Su had already seen through her mind and said, "Now the overall situation is over, and your husband's demise is in the future. Destroying his lair is just a matter of convenience, and when the net is closed, your husband will also be able to capture it, and there is no need to use coercion at all. The Governor has always acted above board, and you have no way out, do you think you have a choice now? Even if you want to die, it's not that easy. Okay, I'll stop talking to you for the time being, let's go back and see. ”

After Yue Su finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around, and walked out. Tie Qiu glanced at the woman and said, "Come with us, you are a woman, and the brothers are inconvenient to do it, I just hope that you will be more conscious, and don't force me to wait for my brothers." ”

The woman had just made up her mind to die, but that was no way, and if there was a glimmer of hope, how could she be willing to die. Yue Su's words are very clear, the imperial court is willing to recruit peace, which is of course a good thing. Looking at Yue Su's official uniform, he knows that he is a big official, and he has a righteous face, so okay, just believe him. The woman slowly walked out with Zheng Chenggong in her arms, but her face was still vigilant, worried that someone would suddenly step forward, and the scissors in her hand were tightly gripped, ready to commit suicide or fight back at any time.

Tie Qiu and the soldiers did not embarrass her, and Yue Su left half of the men and horses led by Mao Youjian, took all the warships on the island away, and escorted the prisoners.

But Zheng Zhilong's wife and Zheng Chenggong were to be taken by Yue Su personally.

The soldiers and horses returned to Quanzhou, and they will not be shown here for the time being, let alone Zheng Zhilong.

*******************************************************

Zheng Zhilong, completely unaware of the situation at home, led his brothers to rest for the night ten miles away from the governor's line, and the next morning, he rushed to the city again. This time, he planned to divide his troops into two ways and attack Xingyuan. Unfortunately, when he arrived, he was surprised to find that on the left side of the line, there was a pair of people standing neatly. The number of this pair of men and horses is really quite a lot, and it seems that there can be three or four thousand people, all of them with bright armor, ready for battle.

Outside the main gate, five hundred soldiers lined up in a phalanx and were waiting. Behind the wooden fence of the camp, the musketeers leaned out with muskets, also ready to shoot. Looking at the posture, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have already calculated that they will come back. Zheng Zhilong took a look, and secretly complained in his heart, although there are more people in his own family, but God knows if there are still ambushes in the officers and soldiers, yesterday there were 9,000 people, and they fought with so many people, and they still fought like that, with heavy casualties, and today the officers and soldiers have increased a lot, and it is not even more in vain to fight with their own troops. Originally, I thought that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were vulnerable, but now I know that I was really wrong, only the navy is vulnerable, and the soldiers and horses on land are still powerful.

If a hero doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, he will retreat if he can't do it.

Zheng Zhilong retreated, and his subordinates were in a hurry to retreat than him. In fact, they didn't know that in the whole of Fujian, the really powerful soldiers and horses were the thousands of people opposite them, and the 3,000 new arrivals on the side were just decorations, and as soon as they fought, they would show their clues. However, the pirates suffered a defeat yesterday, and they had a preconceived idea that the other group of men and horses would be as powerful as the other one.

There is one thing, if this group of people knew, it is estimated that their intestines would be repentant. That is, these new 3,000 people, as soon as they heard that they were going to fight Zheng Zhilong, their legs and stomachs were spinning, if Zheng Zhilong really pounced, it was estimated that they didn't have to do anything, and someone would turn around and run away. It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong didn't know about it.

Zheng Zhilong led his troops to retreat, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court naturally did not dare to chase them, although Tong Guan, who was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the large battalion, had the intention to pursue and kill them fiercely, but unfortunately after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and the disparity was too great, and the other group of officers and soldiers were really useless, so they ran away, anyway, the adults did not explain that they wanted to annihilate the enemy, but only said that they would train the troops.

The pirates began to retreat, and began to walk very slowly, fearing that the officers and soldiers would chase them, but when they saw that the officers and soldiers were not pursuing, the speed of escape slowly increased. Along the way, Zheng Zhilong was wondering why the officers and soldiers didn't chase after him, and he pondered for a long time before he was relieved. He expected that the official army would be very defensive, and if it was a field battle, there would be few people after all, and they would not dare to fight. It's just that he ignored a question, the sailor is not very far from the governor's line, why has no reinforcements come to help so far.

At dusk, the pirates finally reached the beach, and when they looked around, their ships were still there, and it was clear that nothing had happened. Okay, this time it's a trip for nothing, let's come back next time, this Yue shaves his head is nothing more than that, Lao Tzu, I don't just come when I say I'll come, I just want to go.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help laughing. Seeing him laughing, Zheng Zhihu beside him asked curiously: "Big brother, we have all suffered defeats here, how can you still laugh?" ”

"I laugh at the officers and soldiers of the court, although we have suffered losses in the governor's office, we can still come as we say, and leave as we say. They didn't dare stop me! Zheng Zhilong said proudly.

"Big brother said this well, it seems that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, some of them have the ability to form a formation, we want to attack this time, many heavy guys did not bring, wait until the next time they come, bring all the equipment, they have to beat them. Avenge the dead brethren! Zheng Zhihu's spiritual head came immediately.

"Ambitious! This time, let's find out, now we know ourselves and the enemy, and when we come back next time, Yue Su will not be so lucky! ”

Zheng Zhilong had just spoken loudly, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him. In an instant, more than twenty horsemen appeared in front of Zheng Zhilong's team.

The leading cavalry was none other than Li Haoquan, and he shouted loudly: "Zheng Zhilong, listen, my family's governor, his wife and son, have been waiting in front for a long time. Now send me and others to come out to greet us, and invite Zheng Dangjia to come forward and speak! ”

As soon as he heard that Yue Su was waiting in front, Zheng Zhilong was startled, especially when he said that his wife and children were still with Yue Su, which made Zheng Zhilong feel like a glacier. Don't say that Zheng Zhilong is such a son, but only why his wife and son fell into the hands of Yue Su, there is only one answer, that is, Maweiyu's nest was attacked by Yue Su.

Zheng Zhilong's body shook, Zheng Zhihu hurriedly held his brother up, and said: "Big brother, this can't be true, how long have we been out for a long time, how could something happen to the nest, it must be Yue Su who deliberately shook our military heart." ”

"I hope so...... It's just that why is Yue Su here, shouldn't he be in the governor's office? If our ship is robbed by them, we are afraid that we will .......," Zheng Zhilong said with some weakness. It seems that he does not dare to continue to think about it.

"Big brother, don't worry, Yue Su's main forces are all over there, and what he is carrying now is nothing more than the men and horses of the water division, how many people can there be in the water division, it's really not good, let's fight with them, and then a fish will die and the net will be broken!" Zheng Zhibao said loudly at this time.

"Yes, let's fight with them, it's a big deal!" …… Zheng Zhihu and other brothers shouted together.

"Good! Since the brothers have said so, we are still afraid that he will do something, so we will fight with them! Let's go, follow me to the front and have a look! Zheng Zhilong was in good spirits at the moment and led the men and horses to rush forward.

Li Haoquan in front of him smiled slightly, shook his horse's head, and said, "Brothers, let's go." ”

At this moment, Yue Su was waiting in front of him. When the army returned, it went directly to this side, first engaged in a fierce battle with the pirates left behind, and with the help of the English warships, the pirates were so embarrassed that they had no choice but to surrender.

Don't look at Yue Su's current people, but he is not afraid of Zheng Zhilong at all, the hostage is in hand, forgive him Zheng Zhilong and dare not do anything. Besides, the pirate has no ship, just like the eagle has no wings, the ship of Maweiyu has been completely surrendered by Yue Su, and the ship here has also been taken by Lord Yue. Mobilize your own people, and you will be destroyed if you turn around.

Yue Su only brought a thousand men and horses to block the road, and he rode on a horse, with Jiang Jie on the left and a woman holding Zheng Chenggong on the right. The Iron Hammer stood by the woman's side, and could take her down at any time.

Soon, Li Haoquan ran back with the cavalry, "Lord Hui, my subordinates have already brought the words, Zheng Zhilong is not far ahead, and he will arrive soon." ”

"Good! This governor wants to see what this Zheng Zhilong from the coastal area of Fujian looks like! ”
