Dozens of Qing army double-sailed ships and ships in Niuxin Bay, Niangma Palace, the main island of Penghu, stopped unguarded, and a group of sailors either went ashore to play or gambled on the bow, not realizing that a disaster was approaching. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) But this is also normal, everyone thinks that in front of the 50,000 army, Dongning has no room for resistance, and the war has actually been far away from themselves.

Just after noon, the fort of Dongying suddenly fired a warning shot, and a group of Qing troops did not know why, but they were still watching, and a group of plywood boats rushed into Niuxin Bay. The Qing ships were all slow-moving civilian ships, and half of the sailors were not on the post, so they could not escape at all, and they were quickly named by the other party one by one, and sank to the bottom of the sea one after another in less than a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that there was no strength to resist on the side of Maniang Palace, the plywood boat immediately split up and sailed towards Jilongyu, Sijiaoyu and Xiyu, etc., and the local Qing army was busy getting on the boat to resist, but it turned out to be the target of the other party, only a few saw that the situation was not good, and took advantage of the fact that the other party was pinned down by the home team, and fled in the direction of the mainland.

"Commander, the Knight, the Flying Tiger, and the Flying Thunder have all sent signals asking what we should do next?" The lookout post on the mainmast reported loudly. "Feiling also has a banner, requesting to attack Tongshan Siming, Feixing, Feixing Tiyì go to Fuzhou to visit Yao Qisheng, an old traitor."

"This bastard guy is addicted." Ma Ying scolded with a smile. "Ning Chaozhong's heart is very big, and he sued him to be able to do it alone." The flag was beaten, and Ma Ying could imagine the other party's frustration, so the next moment, he issued another order. "Let's go to Tongshan first, and then go to Siming"

Just as the scrappy scouts were heading to the mainland, a ship slowly approached the dock of North Shanwei Port. Seeing a ship landing, a group of Qing soldiers who had been abandoned by the officials immediately came to their senses, but before they could meet them excitedly, they saw several people dressed as Zheng Jun coming down from the boat. This time, the feeling of the sky falling apart enveloped them again, but fortunately, another Qing military attache who was subdued by a lion followed them ashore.

"This official is Lin Xian, the chief soldier of Haitan Town, who is the chief of the matter, please come out and meet." Lin Xiangao drank, but no one on the other side responded. "Don't be afraid, this official came to recruit you on the order of the eldest grandson of Zhang, this army has been defeated, and the Admiral has already killed himself, if you continue to resist stubbornly, there is neither food and grass nor reinforcements here, I am afraid that there is only a dead end." Lin Xian's voice echoed in the seemingly empty commercial port, over and over again. "Think about the giant ship just now, the whole army has fallen, what are you still holding onto? Do you think a little more about your own life?"

Under Lin Xian's hoarse greeting, a few Qing army generals finally came out, these people may have seen Lin Xian, and when they walked in front of him, it was a thousand: "Lord Lin, are we really defeated this time?" ”

"If it's fake, will this official demote Zheng Jun? The official's family is still in Fuzhou. Lin Xian smiled bitterly, and then asked for a knife from the other party's hand, and waved it at the tail of the money rat behind his head. Braids without a head, this thing is now a burden. He raised the braid in his hand to show around, and in front of his shocking action, hundreds of Qing soldiers slowly walked out, and the sound of swords and guns falling to the ground rang out. Okay, let's all come out," Lin Xian continued to persuade loudly, while whispering to the first few who came out. "Where's Mr. Wu?"

"This bastard, with Vice President Qi, left them behind and fled by boat." One of the generals said coldly. "But it's a pity, I only escaped a few miles by water, and I was reversed by the sea, no, I was caught up by Zheng Jun's plywood and beaten into the sea."

Lin Xian took a breath of cold air, and then shook his head: "There is no place to bury you if you die, it is better to stay on the island if you know this."

The surrender of the Qing army on North Shanwei Island marked the complete annihilation of the Qing army invading Taiwan, and so far except for a small number of Qing troops scattered in the countryside and the Qing army captives of the Zhuluo rebellion to be cleared, the whole Taiwan has been quiet, but although the battle was won, the losses of the Zheng army and the people of Dongning were not trivial.

If we count the losses in the First Battle of Penghu, it is estimated that 20,000 able-bodied men in the whole of Taiwan lost their lives, and there were more than 3,000 light and serious wounded

The damage to property is also incalculable. First of all, the rice fields that had just been planted in the war zone were trampled by tens of thousands of pairs of feet, and it was estimated that the harvest would be lost, and the manpower mobilized for the preparation of the war had also caused a considerable impact on the rush for seeds in other regions. Secondly, all kinds of export goods are piled up in the port due to the lack of manpower and the blockade of Taiwan's ports, resulting in a huge loss of commercial interests and commercial credit losses, which can be said to be as expensive as the loss of commercial credit; And the gold and silver property brought out of the country by the civil and military officials and the common people who fled is also a hidden amount; Coupled with the losses in the three-year drought, so there are no three or five years, Zheng Kezhang can't slow down this breath.

As for the organization of the paralyzed Ming and Zheng regimes, not to mention the organization, Zheng Kezhang is equivalent to starting from scratch.

"More than 20,000 Qing troops were captured and surrendered, and the number needs to be further counted." However, compared with the loss, Zheng Kezang's gains are not small, just the preliminary statistics make him happy. "There were three hundred and seventy-seven gunboats, birds, boats, two-sail ships, and ships, two seven-thousand-pound iron cannons, seven five-thousand-pound bronze Hongyi cannons, four four-thousand-pound bronze red-coated cannons, six hundred large and small Franc cannons, six hundred tiger squat cannons, three thousand five hundred birds, two thousand bows, one thousand two hundred intact horses and pack horses, five hundred and seventy-one wounded horses and pack horses, cotton armor, bright light armor, four hundred and twenty-one fish scale armor, eight hundred barrels of gunpowder about two hundred thousand catties, lead, Arrowheads, spearheads, waist knives and other small weapons could not be estimated, and in addition, Chen Long also handed over a silver boat, which contained a reward for the Qing officers and soldiers, a total of 40,000 taels, and not a single cent was taken. ”

"Forty thousand taels." Zheng Kezhang rubbed his hands, looking excited. "It's good news, but it's not enough to fill the hole, so I'll hand it over to the Treasurer Division first." Zheng Kezhang explained, and then he ordered. "The bronze cannons have melted down and the iron cannons have been reinvented." These red-coated cannons, tiger squat cannons, and even bird guns did not meet Zheng Kezang's combat needs at all, so he decided to turn waste into treasure, selling what could be sold, and destroying those that were not suitable for transportation. "The Franc cannon is temporarily stored in the armament depot, and it is still useful." Zheng Kezhang then thought about it. "Order all the shipyards in various places, except for the reserved part of the ships that can be used for offshore transportation, all the rest will be dismantled as material reserves, and the wreckage of the four ships of Flying Eagle, Flying Dragon, Flying Star, and Sunlight will also be treated in the same way, in addition, Chen Long didn't report that there are cannons and other materials in the shipwrecks of the Qing army, and find a way to salvage them."

Yu Ping responded one by one, and then Zheng Kezhang looked at Lin Heng, the director of the Military Affairs Department: "Lin Qing must hurry up here, there is a batch of batches, and if it is done, it will be announced first, and I think that there are still people who will use their own merits to redeem relatives and friends." ”

Lin Heng was resigned, and listened to Zheng Kezhang continue: "Lin Qing and Yu Qing should remember that military merit is the fairest, once the morale of the soldiers is dampened in this matter, I am afraid that it will be irreparable by other means." ”

What is Zheng Kezang's subtext, the two of them naturally understand that the most important military heart in the troubled times, once someone is mobilized to shake the foundation of their rule, what Zheng Kezhang will do is naturally self-evident, so the two did not dare to slack off and responded in unison: "Please rest assured, the ministers understand what to do." ”

"It's good to understand." Zheng Kezhang didn't mean to beat, but did it subconsciously. "By the way, Wang Jingong and Zhang Xueyao Erqing were transferred to Zuo Huwei and Zuo Wuwei, and the officers of the Military Department are vacant, what candidates or can be recommended by Erqing?"

Lin Heng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zheng Kezang's gourd, so he naturally didn't dare to speak: "The official is an important minister of this domain, and the minister doesn't dare to discuss it." ”

"It's the same with ministers." Yu Ping knew that the higher he stood up, the heavier he would fall, especially since he still had the internal spy system in his hands, and he couldn't recommend anything lightly. "Please also ask the grandson to make a decision."

"You're forcing you to be alone." Zheng Kezhang said with a smile. "Well, go down first."

Soon after the two retreated, Zheng Bin walked in under the guidance of the chamberlain, he was the official of the Ritual Division, and the report was naturally the idea of the Ming Sect, for the first reward for the prince, the middle reward for the prince of the county, and the reward for Zhu Chenggong and Zhu Jin, Zheng Kezhang finally chose the third one, for which he also smiled and asked Zheng Bin to tell the Ming room: "Is the lonely still young?" In case one day there is no seal, isn't it forcing Gu to usurp the throne? ”

Zheng Bin laughed twice but didn't dare to speak, at this time Zheng Kezhang suddenly thought of something: "The seventeenth uncle (Zheng Shengying) abandoned the official and left, so that there will be no one to participate in politics, Hong Lei and Ke Ping can also be regarded as loyal this time, and they can be promoted one or two, but the senate is vacant again, Yang Ying is also an old minister, and this time he is also determined to die with the domain, so he will be one of the members of the Gu preparation, which can be regarded as appeasement, and the rest, Zheng Qing can share some of the burden for Gu. ”

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Zheng Xingying's pressure on his head, Zheng Bin would have been a senator a long time ago, and this time it was just logical, so Zheng Bin just faintly humbled two sentences and agreed: "Chen Tingzhang and Wu Hongji fled, Fu Weilin died of treason, Ke Ping and Yang Ying were promoted to participate in politics and council, and the officials can no longer be concurrent, and the position of the secretary left by Qing is equivalent to saying that there are still six vacancies for the officials. Xu Qing of Bisu Town and Wu Qian of the Second Town of Rongqi were transferred to fill in, but they were originally in charge of military affairs, and they were still a little rusty in their writings, so they needed to be assigned a good deputy by the Political Affairs Hall. ”

"Yes." Zheng Bin answered, and then asked. "The grandson, Lord Guo Kai, they are all second-class titles"

"Demote them to the fourth grade, and then add them to the rank of knight as appeasement." Zheng Kezhang was determined to completely control the army, so naturally it was impossible to keep them in the army and get in the way. "This must become a rule, the text will be transferred to martial arts, and if it is not promoted or lowered, the martial arts will be reduced to the third order." Zheng Bin wrote them down one by one. "In addition, the deputy generals, supervisors, supervisors, and assistant generals of each town will also be transferred to Wentu one after another, and the political affairs hall must find a way to give a good job as much as possible."

As soon as Zheng Kezhang said this, Zheng Bin naturally knew what to do: "The minister understands"
