Just as Zhu Jin was immersed in restoring the strength of the Zheng army, another bad news hit him: Liu Jinzhong, the right admiral and Dingyu Bo who was canonized by Zhu Jin, saw that the Qing army was powerful, so he changed the court again. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
Liu Jinzhong's rebellion led to the breaking of land contact between Liu Guoxuan's troops in Huizhou and the main forces of Ming and Zheng, and what was even more terrifying was that Shang Zhixin in Guangzhou also announced his return to the Qing court, so that Liu Guoxuan's army, which was the most complete in Zheng's army, was completely encircled.
As a last resort, Zhu Jin ordered Liu Guoxuan's troops to withdraw immediately by sea. The Qing court was very worried about the withdrawal of troops from the Ming and Zheng sides, and once ordered Shang and Liu Erbu to intercept and encircle them. However, Shang Zhixin's Yue army had suffered a big loss from the Zheng army in the battle of Horseshoe Crab Mother Mountain, and he did not dare to act rashly, and although Liu Jinzhong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he did not want to completely tear his face with the Ming and Zheng sides before the battle was decided, so the two of them sat and watched the retreat of the Zheng army.
Since Shang and Liu did not dare to cross the Lei Chi slightly, Liu Guoxuan naturally arranged for leisure, so in June of the thirtieth year of Yongli, in addition to a group of more than 2,000 people who withdrew to Qiongzhou to strengthen Yang Xian's strength, Liu's main force held more than 10,000 Huizhou people hostage and a complete withdrawal of materials and grain to Siming, and then diverted Dongning.
The Qing court was extremely angry at Liu Jinzhong's disobedience, and although he was given the title of general of the rebellion, he was quickly arrested and imprisoned after the army of Pingnan General Lai Ta took control of Chaozhou, and then escorted him to Beijing to behead the city. Shang Zhixin was shocked when he heard this, so he ordered soldiers and horses to cross the sea to conquer Qiongzhou to redeem himself. However, Sun Ziyun "You must not be angry and raise a division, and you will not be discouraged and cause a war", as a result, Shang Zhixin, who did not listen to what the soldier said, was really beaten by Yang Xian, who was old and strong, with 7,000 wins and 20,000, and returned with a wolf.
The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Qionghai and the return of Liu Guoxuan, the main force of the Zheng army, made the Qing court realize that the strength of the Ming and Zheng sides still existed and was not something that could be easily dealt with.
"Prince Kang, Lang made the army, and the lower officials thought that now the imperial court is using troops in Hunan Province, and the strength of Fujian is already empty, and it should be calmed down to deal with Zheng Rebellion, or use appeasement to lazy his mind, if Zheng Rebellion knows the prime minister, it will naturally be very happy, if it is unwilling, it will not hurt, and the imperial court soldiers will return to Fujian just in one go."
"Lord Duan, what a delaying tactic to kill two birds with one stone." Huang Fangshi, who was re-awarded the title of Duke of Haicheng by the Qing court, scoffed at Duan Yingju, the commander of the Fujian Lu Division. "But I never thought that Zheng Cheng would also use the opportunity of the imperial court to reorganize his strength, and prepare for war by force, if the imperial army was still trapped in Hunan at that time, Zheng Cheng would recover his vitality and make a comeback, how should the rest of the people deal with it."
Duan Yingju's face froze, the admiral in the Kangxi period was not a military minister who would only promise in front of the governor and governor in the future, he also lived in eight seats, but he could keep up with the governor and the governor's enemy, but now he was humiliated by a repeated villain at both ends of the head and rat, can he not be angry? But before he could refute, he listened to Huang Fangshi's grinning words.
"Ben Jue thought that the soldiers were fast, and they should take advantage of the fact that Liu Bu had just returned from the sea and had an unstable foothold, so he immediately crossed the sea to attack Xiamen, so as not to give Zheng Yi a chance to breathe."
"Haicheng Gong and Zheng Cheng have a common enmity, of course I hope to send troops to Xiamen immediately and drive Zheng Cheng back to Taiwan in one fell swoop." Duan Yingju didn't have time to cross-examine, Hu Tu, the deputy capital who had always been good friends with him, couldn't stand it, Hu Tu picked up a face that looked like a smile, and asked secretly. "But what about the ship? Can Haicheng Gong conjure up a boat? Even if he conjures up a ship, Zheng Cheng's sailors have always been in the Minhai, could it be that Haicheng Gong is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, ready to send the imperial army to the sea? ”
"Master Hu!" Huang Fangshi clenched his fists angrily, but although Hu Tu's title is not as high as his, firstly, he is a son of the Eight Banners, and the Qing court is born nobler than him, a Han man, and secondly, he is a serious second-grade senior officer of Fuzhou, and it is not comparable to the empty duke who only has thousands of private regiments to practice. "You?"
"That's it, that's it!" Seeing that Huang Fangshi was about to run away, the chief soldier Huang Lan hurriedly stood up and put out the fire. "Haicheng Gong naturally has no intention of destroying the imperial army, but what Lord Hu said is true, Xiamen can't get through without a ship. However, now that Miao Zhixiu has surrendered to the imperial court in Wenzhou, as long as Dinghai is recaptured, the sailors of the imperial court can drive over to compete with Zheng Yi, as long as the sailors win, then Xiamen is not like a big girl who has stripped naked? ”
Several generals immediately laughed lewdly when they heard this, and Ninghai General Lahada didn't look at Huang Fangshi's iron-blue face beside him, nodded again and again, and echoed loudly: "That's right, it is precisely this principle, whether Xiamen can fight, whether it can be beaten or not, the key is to see the ability of the sailor." ”
After listening to Lang Tingxiang, the governor of Fujian who was born in the Han army with the yellow flag, listened for a long time, and saw that all the generals except Huang Fangshi had agreed to a temporary ceasefire, so he asked the general who was ordered to be in the upper seat, Prince Jie Shu: "Lord, what do you see?" ”
Speaking of the governor of Lang Tingxiang Lang in front of him, his ancestor was also a general of the Ming army, and after his father Lang Xizai surrendered to the Qing Dynasty outside the Guan, the Lang family began to gradually develop with the Qing court sweeping through China. In his generation, his eldest brother Lang Tingfu served as a senior doctor, a hereditary first-class Ada Ha Fan (light car captain) and a tosalaha fan (cloud cavalry captain) as the leader of the Han Army, and finally promoted to the head of the Hubu Lang, and his second brother Lang Tingzuo was even more famous, successively served as the governor of Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiangnan Governor, and the military department, and the greatest achievement was to defeat the Southern Ming Zheng Chenggong Army that attacked the Yangtze River, and kept the Cao Yun for the Qing court, and also stabilized its country.
It is precisely because the two generations of the Lang family have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into China, and Jieshu cannot help but give this traitor who is a feudal official some face: "Lord Lang is the governor of Fujian, and I want to be more familiar with Xiamen and other places. ”
"The prince is a general ordered by the emperor to pacify the southeast, how dare the lower officials trespass." Lang Tingxiang signed his ass to flatter, but Jieshu made up his mind and insisted that he speak first, so Lang Tingxiang had no choice but to express his attitude. "Xia Guan thinks that what Lord Duan and Lord Huang said is very insightful, and now they want to float to the sea to take Xiamen for a while, so it is better to appease them for the time being, or they can avoid sword soldiers."
"Fund?" Jie Shu touched his beard, the Qing court in the Zheng Chenggong era had been appeased five times, and Zheng Jing had also surrendered four times since he succeeded to the throne, but he returned in vain, and now he still wants to be appeased? Jie Shu was a little hesitant, but after looking at the posture of these arrogant soldiers below who didn't want to fight anymore, Jie Shu finally nodded. "You might as well give it a try, but Zheng is rebellious, and you have to be ready to fight again, Lord Lang, you must continue to pay attention to the ship's affairs, and as for the sailors, you must also supervise more"
Zheng Kezhang walked out of the Ci'an that had stayed for more than three months, looked back at Chen Zhaoniang's tomb behind the Ci'an, and the faint rain and mist drifted in the air, as if it was a tear stain hanging on the corner of his eyes, with a sense of misery and misery. Zheng Kezhang looked at it steadily, then turned around firmly and strode out.
Returning to the Dutch Courtyard, which had already been deceased, Zheng Kezhang didn't have time to rest, and immediately sent someone to invite Zheng Cong and several other Zheng clan relatives - in the past three months, Wannian and Tianxing Prefectures have been ordered by Chen Yonghua to encircle and intercept several Bofu, and the two sides have fought several times, and the black smoke miasma has made Taiwan look sideways - so even if the merchant house of the Yingguili people has just sent the order out, Zheng Kezhang must immediately solve this unstable factor.
"Qin She, you came back just in time, the fifth uncle was about to look for you, Chen Yonghua What kind of thing is he, he dares to let people attack Bofu, he is going to rebel." Before Zheng Zhiren entered the house, a loud voice came. "This matter, if you don't care about it, the fifth uncle will go to Siming to find it"
Before Zheng Zhi's words were finished, when he walked into the room, he saw Zheng Kezhang looking at him with cold eyes, his heart was empty, and he lost his voice all of a sudden, and then Zheng Kezhang signaled with his hand: "Fifth uncle, sit down first and wait for a while, the second uncle and they will all arrive, and Yu is talking to a few uncles about this matter at that time." ”
As soon as he heard that Zheng Cong and the others were also coming, Zheng Zhi became a little bolder, so he sat down swaggeringly: "Qinshe, no tea?" ”
"Serve tea to Uncle Minqing." Zheng Kezhang commanded, served tea in his own house, Zheng Zhi drank two sips, at this time Zheng Ming, Zheng Yu, Zheng Kuan, Zheng Cong, Zheng Rou arrived one after another, Zheng Kezhang invited them to sit down one by one, and also served tea, a group of people Zheng Kezang had already known the purpose of Zheng Kezang to invite them, one by one on the surface quietly sat there and tasted tea, but after a moment, Zheng Wen did not come, obviously he intended to give Zheng Kezhang a horse.
"Eighth uncle, if you don't want to come, it's okay, if you have time, ask the sixth uncle and the ninth uncle to tell him what they said today." Zheng Kezhang made an opening remark. "I invited a few uncles here today because Mr. Chen complained to Yu repeatedly, saying that the uncles had embezzled official land and forced immigrants to become slaves, and green shoes could not be banned."
"Chen Yonghua is a rake!" Zheng Rou jumped up. "Why didn't he say anything about his subordinates injuring Bofu's slaves."
Zheng Rou fired this cannon, and several Zheng clan relatives on the side also began to help, Zheng Kezhang listened quietly until they automatically turned off the fire: "Who hit whom, it doesn't matter, but are there any of these two things that Mr. Chen said?" ”
Although Zheng Kezang's tone is condensed, the meaning is firm and to the point, several people are divided, for a long time, Zheng Ming held back a sentence: "This land of Taiwan was originally owned by the Yu Zheng family, what is the big deal about encroaching on a few acres of official land, Chen Yonghua is making a big fuss, why should you bother?"
Zheng Kezhang cut off his words: "The whole world is not the king's land, so how many uncles have taken a fancy to their father's position?" ”
This accusation made Zheng Ming and several others stunned for a moment, Zheng Kezhang didn't give him a chance to refute, and said very quickly: "My father was defeated on the mainland, and the land of the seven counties was lost. ”
At this time, Zheng Cong couldn't sit still: "Qin She, you also know that the third child is just greedy, how can they have that kind of mind." ”
"Greedy?" Zheng Kezhang shook his head. "Maybe, but the fundamentals have been shaken, where will the last few uncles go to be relatives of the emperor?" The tone of these words had softened, and Zheng Ming and the others breathed a long sigh of relief. "Return all the official land that has been occupied, release the slaves and maids who have been forcibly collected, and show the rest to a few uncles another way to make money."
"Second brother, third brother, do we really want to listen to the little scumbag?" Out of the lotus courtyard, Zheng Rou invited a few people to his house, and as soon as he sat down, he asked the two eldest brothers, Zheng Cong and Zheng Ming, tentatively. "Although the benefits of sailing at sea are rich, the risks are not small, where can I directly grow sugarcane to be safe."
"He is the grandson of Yuanzi!" Zheng Ming glared at Zheng Rou and the brothers around Zheng Rou. "Brother Wang is not here, he is the biggest, if he doesn't give him face today, he will give you face in the future?"
"Then he dares to ignore the etiquette and attack his uncle?"
"Nonsense!" Zheng Cong pouted at Zheng Zhi. "If he doesn't guard against us, who is he guarded against?" Speaking of which, Zheng Kezang's idea was actually beneficial to him, but when he saw people talking about people, he was talking nonsense, and Zheng Cong naturally wanted to make a gesture in favor of them in front of Zheng Zhi. "Besides, he's in charge of it."
Zheng Ming sighed, and persuaded a few unwilling younger brothers: "Qin She has promised, after retiring from the land, one person will send a fortune boat of 800 materials, send away the immigrants and compensate a hundred black slaves in a government, which is enough to be interesting, and it is already interesting to transport sugar from Annam, Siam, and rice from Annam during the sugar period, take a step back and open the sky." ”
"yes!" Zheng Cong also persuaded. "Bringing brown sugar from the West, transporting snow sugar and rock sugar to Ryukyu and Japan, and then transporting back Japanese copper, Japanese goods and Korean ginseng, one trip is more than three times more profitable, and as long as you go twice a year, isn't it better than digging in the soil?"
"Speaking of which, second brother, you are a sitting tiger, and you earn a lot." In Zheng Kezang's plan, Zheng Cong doesn't have to contribute, but just receives brown sugar for free and provides snow sugar and rock sugar for free, so that he can also share the profits, and the other six people have to go out on the ship, sailors, and start-up funds, so they will share half of them equally, so it's no wonder that the rest of the people are red-eyed.
Zheng Cong stopped doing it when he heard it, and hurriedly defended: "Don't talk nonsense, there are Qinshe's members in the sugar liao in Yu, and this is a profit, and Yu can only get eight points when he gets it." ”
"This little!"
"Stop scolding, can you do this or not?"
"Can you not do it? The land and the people will be returned, don't eat the northwest wind."
