Zheng Cai's head was pickled in lime, the whole face appeared lifelike, between the eyebrows still maintained the horror and incredulity of the arrow, and there was a series of heads next to it, all of them were born in the generals of the Gaopu Zheng clan, in the battle of Tuling Mountain, Zheng Cai's elite of the Gaopu Zheng clan was lost, and the rest of the soldiers all became Zheng Sen's prisoners.

More than 10,000 soldiers have been gathered, and Zheng Cai, the biggest competitor in Fujian, has also died in his own hands, but Zheng Sen is not happy no matter what. Zheng Sen squeezed his eyes and knew who had revealed the news to him this time, but he had to take the risk of sending troops, because once Zheng Cai's momentum was built, there would be no place for him in Fujian.

After destroying the living forces of Zheng Cai and Gaopu Zheng, he will soon return to Putian. If it weren't for Zhu Yujian's weak body and inability to withstand the fatigue of traveling and driving, Zheng Sen would have taken him on the road with him on this expedition. Now, the most important thing is to return to Putian as soon as possible, where Zheng Sen's last lair is located, and there is still the biggest bargaining chip.

But when they rushed to the city of Putian, the people who were soaked in sweat felt a chill to the bone, and the banner of the Shandong army was already flying high on the head of the city, and the muzzles of the rows of guns were aimed directly at Zheng Sen's tired soldiers and horses. On the east and west sides, there are also soldiers of the Shandong army staring at each other, as if they have seen a long-lost prey, exuding a strong killing intent.

The city gate of Putian was wide open, and it was not closed at all, more than a hundred knights galloped out, and came to Zheng Sen's approach, Fang Yuegong was slightly out of breath, and bowed his hand slightly at Zheng Sen, "Yanping Bo has worked hard!" ”

Zheng Sen looked at Fang Yuegong's side, Zhang Mingzhen and the others he didn't recognize, but he also knew clearly in his heart that they were all Zhu Ping'an's subordinates. Zheng Sen stared at Luo Ruliang for a moment, and said coldly: "You gave Putian to the Shandong Army?" ”

Luo Ruliang's body stiffened, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He arched his hand but did not speak. Gan Hui and Zhou Quanbin behind Zheng Sen were annoyed and angry, and drew their knives at each other, "Traitor, when you and your brother had no way out, who took you in and the others, and today they actually did such a thing of betraying the Lord and seeking glory!" ”

didn't wait for Gan Hui, Zhou Quanbin and others to step forward. Zhang Mingzhen's subordinates had already raised their handcuffs in unison, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at Zheng Sen and the others without exception.

The strong sunlight shone down, but Zheng Sen felt dizzy. still fell for Zhu Ping'an's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. He was thousands of miles away, but he had no last resort, and he felt his mind clearly, from the time when Denglai was captured by him, he had never taken advantage of him.

Fang Yuegong hurriedly dissuaded, and took out Zhu Yujian's will to show Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen took it with both hands. "Where is Your Majesty now?"

Fang Yuegong didn't answer yet, but Zhang Mingzhen preemptively said: "Your Majesty has already left Putian, counting the time, you should have boarded the ship at this time." Yan Pingbo rest assured that Ben General had arranged enough manpower to escort him, and there was also a sailor's running boat to accompany him, and His Majesty's safety was absolutely no problem. Within half a month, you will definitely be able to arrive in Shandong safely! ”

Zheng Sen nodded helplessly. With a wave of his hand, Gan Hui and the others put down the blades in their hands. "Lord Fang, our ministry is willing to carry out the edict ......!"

Gan Hui and the others suddenly shouted: "Uncle! ”

Zheng Sen raised his right hand. continued: "But our department is still subordinate to His Majesty Emperor Longwu of the Great Ming Dynasty, rather than subordinate to His Royal Highness King Rui of Shandong, please Lord Fang and this general must be clear about this!" ”

Fang Yuegong turned his head to look at Zhang Mingzhen, Zhang Mingzhen nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Uncle Yanping, His Royal Highness King Rui also means this." Everyone is a Ming courtier, regardless of each other. The supply of soldiers and horses under Yanping Bo's department is all provided by the household department of the imperial court, and there will be no favoritism! ”

Fang Yuegong also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty also specially said, please Yan Pingbo rest assured to enter the city, he is here." No one will touch Yan Pingbo and his subordinates! ”

……

Wu Sangui suddenly made a move in Nanping, killing Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao's brothers, and forcing Zhang Cunren to death, but announced to the outside world that Zheng Zhilong pretended to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, he harbored evil intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to launch a decisive battle against the Qing army, and waited for the opportunity to kill Wu Sangui, Zhang Cunren and other Qing army generals. was recognized by Wu Sangui in time and beheaded him, but Zhang Cunren died in the chaos.

Wu Sangui thus launched a large-scale attack on the Zheng army, and the main forces of the Zheng army Xiao Gongchen, Huang Mingjun, and Li Xuan were caught off guard, Xiao Gongchen was killed, and Zheng Chunliang, Huang Mingjun, and Li Xuan surrendered and surrendered. Wu Sangui, Durd and other troops entered Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and within half a month, they formed a joint siege of the last main force of the Zheng army.

Wu Sangui and Durde were also marching forward, and they did not encounter any decent resistance along the way, and Wu Sangui sent the general Xia Guoxiang to attack the front line of Xinghua Mansion and Fuzhou to destroy the remnants of Zheng Cai and Zheng Sen. He and Durd met in Nanjing, and the two armies were in one place, and Zheng Chunliang, Huang Mingjun, and Li Xuan were the vanguards, attacking Zhangzhou.

But what is surprising is that Shi Fu did not desperately resist in Zhangzhou, nor did he send people to discuss the surrender. When Wu Sangui and Durd's army came to the city, they found that Zhangzhou was already an empty city, not to mention the soldiers of Zheng Jun, and even the people in the city were nowhere to be found, let alone leave any heavy supplies. Even the surrounding villages and towns are deserted.

This did make Wu Sangui and the others a little confused. Zheng Chunliang and other generals were also extremely puzzled. Although Shi Fu is Zheng Zhilong's henchman, he does not necessarily have much backbone, when Zheng Zhilong contacted the Qing army in the day, Shi Fu was one of the supporters, otherwise Zheng Zhilong would not have let him retreat from the front line of Xianxialing. Now that the Zheng family building is about to fall, Zheng Zhilong has also been killed, it stands to reason that Shi Fu has no way out, it should be a mind to surrender, but now he is playing the trick of retreating all the way, what has changed in this?

Wu Sangui muttered in his heart, and after arriving in Zhangzhou, he ordered the army to be in strict formation, and sent a large number of scouts to the four directions to inquire about the news, and did not dare to go deeper to the east, so as not to fall into an ambush. The battle has reached this point, but there must be no mistakes. Besides, there is also Durde, the banner man who commands the army again, and has been inquiring about the cause of Zhang Cunren's death these days, and it seems that he is suspicious, but he must be cautious at this time.

Regarding Shi Fu's actions, Wu Sangui was also inexplicable. I feel even more blocked. The elite of Zheng Jun is now in the hands of Shi Fu, especially the 20,000 sailors and nearly 1,000 warships of all kinds, which are the family wealth that Zheng Zhilong has accumulated for many years. It is more than enough to divide one side, and maybe when the world changes, you can also take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the world.

But now Shi Fu is playing peek-a-boo, and the huge piece of fat in front of him can't eat it in his mouth, isn't this deliberately making Wu Sangui unhappy?

Fortunately, a few days later, the news finally came back. Because of Zheng Zhilong's killing, Shi Fu's heart became afraid, for fear that the Qing army would do something to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Therefore, he retreated to the front line of Zhangpu with soldiers and horses, and the ships of the naval division were also mobilized to the coastal area, and they were ready to wait for the battle, if the Qing army approached again, he was ready to board the ship and go to the first line of Penghu to take refuge for a while, anyway, the Qing army did not have a naval division, and went to the sea. Zheng Jun's ships could still come and go freely, but the Qing army was helpless against him.

Wu Sangui was really shocked when he got the news. The effect of killing Zheng Zhilong was evident at this time, but Shi Fu no longer trusted the Qing army. If he was allowed to escape into the sea, Wu Sangui's expedition to Fujian would not be in vain.

Therefore, Wu Sangui immediately ordered the cavalry under the command of Durd to march quickly to Nanzhao, Gulei, and Tongshan, and cut off Shi Fu's retreat no matter what, while he himself personally led the army to outflank Zhangpu. A boiled duck can't let it fly anyway.

Hurry up, Wu Sangui finally arrived at the foot of Zhangpu City in time, Shi Fu's department obviously did not expect Wu Sangui to come so quickly, and there was no time to retreat to the east at all, according to the news of the spies. Tens of thousands of people from all over Zhangzhou Prefecture are now also gathered in Yuezhi, east of Zhangdong, and the notoriety of the Qing army is outside, and they are all willing to follow Shi Fu to the sea.

Although the soldiers are sleepy and the horses are lacking, but Wu Sangui is very excited, God bless, and finally caught the big fish of Shi Fu, as long as he can take Zhangpu, the soldiers and horses and sailors under Shi Fu will have to change their surnames to Wu. When the time comes, why do you need to listen to the orders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he Wu Sangui can wait for the price and sell, the Ming and Qing dynasties who give the highest price will be obeyed by whom's orders, and when the wings are full, Wu Sangui can also participate in the ranks of the world hegemony, what Dolgon, what Zhu Ping'an, still can not underestimate him Wu Sangui. If you don't do it, you can still make a three-point world.

This kind of situation really makes Wu Sangui's blood boil just thinking about it. So, on the day the army arrived in Zhangpu, he couldn't wait to send envoys to the city, hoping to surrender and bless, but the envoys sent out one after another, but like mud cattle into the sea, as soon as they entered Zhangpu, there was no follow-up, and after waiting for a whole day, no one came out, and there was no response at all in Shifu.

Wu Sangui's patience was finally exhausted, and on the third day, he issued an order to attack Zhangpu. All the Hongyi cannons carried by the army were dispatched, and the artillery fire shook the mountains, and the entire Zhangpu City was crumbling.

After a round of artillery fire, the city of Zhangpu was still silent despite its many holes, and the infantry of the brigade rushed out of the trench and drove the shield cart to run quickly towards the city wall of Zhangpu.

Soon, the foot soldiers rushed across the moat and came to the bottom of the city, where dozens of ladders were erected, and there was still no movement on the city. The soldiers quickly crawled towards the top of the city, until the crowd of ants completely occupied the city, and in a short time, even the city gates were opened.

"Damn, what the hell? Are all the blessed soldiers and horses dead? The generals beside Wu Sangui couldn't help but mutter.

"Is it another empty city?" Wu Sangui was also confused. "Impossible, the news of the spies will not be wrong, there are 30,000 land divisions, all of them are in the city, if it is a retreat, it is impossible for so many people to make a disturbance, there is no trace of it, and there is no way to hide it from the ears and eyes of the spies?"

"Lord Wang!" When he was thinking nonsense, he had already sent someone to deliver the letter, "The city is empty, the guards are just straw men, and the messengers we sent before were all hanged in the city gate, but we couldn't find a single soldier Zheng!" ”

Wu Sangui and the generals looked at each other, but at this time, the men and horses of the brigade had already entered Zhangpu City through the city gate. (To be continued......)
