For some special reasons, Zheng Zhai's alliance has not yet been announced to the public.

But Zheng Zhilong's purpose is very clear, he only wants Fujian and Guangdong, and has no intention of chasing the world. After experiencing that unrealistic temptation, he reached a reunification with Zhai Zhe under the mediation of Ma Shiying.

King Yanping and King Zhenhai are both county kings, and after changing their names, Zheng Zhilong can feel more comfortable in his heart.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhai Zhe agreed to let the Zheng navy, who assisted in guarding the defense of the river, return to Fujian, and released the Zheng prince, who had been detained for half a year. The imperial court allowed the Zheng clan to exist independently, but the Zheng navy had to accept the imperial court's conscription to participate in the Northern Expedition.

Zheng Zhilong agreed.

In Layue, Ma Shiying went south to Xianxia Pass on behalf of the imperial court. The imperial court's decree was not a matter of the Ministry of Officials, but Zhai Zhe gave an order and ordered Ma Shiying to put down his affairs and go south.

Xianxia Pass is located in the mountains and mountains in the south of Quzhou, where snow falls in the south of the Yangtze River and there is only cold wind.

Zheng Zhilong has been in Fujian all his life and has never seen auspicious rui from the sky.

The mountainous area is simple, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is monotonous. These days, only Zheng Hongkui has been by his side.

Fujianese people are not hardy, and a fire tray is placed in the corner of the house, and an invisible heat wave is churning above the fire tray. Zheng Zhilong wore a gray bearskin coat. The cold wind outside the window blew on the pine forests all over the mountains and made a strange "whining" sound, and the white window paper made a "fluttering" sound from time to time.

The two chatted casually about the excitement of the Spring Festival in Fuzhou, and Zheng Hongkui picked up happy things and said, "Damu is coming back soon." ”

"Yes, I can finally have a reunion year"

The emperor will be in the family, which is no different from the expectations of ordinary people's families.

Until now, Zheng Hongkui still can't understand Zheng Zhilong's decision, but he can only obey orders. He sneered and asked, "Zheng Cai is still in Wuzhou." ”

"Hmm" Zheng Zhilong's words were vague, and when he mentioned the situation in Guangxi, he suddenly sighed indignantly: "Donglin Party, can there be one that can be trusted?" ”

Chen Bangbo obviously did not have a temporary intention anyway, but had already colluded with the imperial court. When Guangxi first raised troops, he was cautious and did not move, precisely because the contradictions between Zheng and Chen Bangbo were irreconcilable, and he believed in Qu Shiyun and did not believe in Chen Bangbo.

The situation is as he expected, those civil servants of the Donglin Party usually jump up and down one by one, and they will inevitably be betrayed at critical moments. is still a eunuch like Ma Shiying, who is pragmatic and reliable.

Zheng Hongkui thought it was very beautiful, and said: "Lord Wang, it can be regarded as a gain to annex Wuzhou."

"Wuzhou?" Zheng Zhilong snorted, "The hearts of the people of Guangdong have not returned, what is the use of occupying so much territory?" ”

Xu Yiyang's request for Zheng Cai to assist in the attack on Wuzhou was a confidential matter.

The imperial court took advantage of Chen Bangbo and immediately began to dig traps for Chen Bangbo. Zheng Zhilong is happy to help with this, Chen Bangbo was born in Guangdong, and he has not had a large-scale war in the past few years, but the constant harassment makes him annoyed.

Zheng Hongkui was puzzled and closed his mouth for the time being.

Zheng Zhilong walked a few steps in the house and opened the door. A cold wind rushed in, and the pine waves on the mountains in the distance rose and fell like waves on the sea.

He shrunk his neck and commanded, "Bring the tea tray"

Those who stand at the top of the tower can listen to the opinions of others, but can only make their own decisions, and their decisions are closely linked to the fate of the family. Zheng Zhilong, Zhai Zhe, Wu Sangui and Dolgon, they are all people who stand at the top of the tower of this era.

Zheng Zhilong is self-aware, and without the support of the imperial court, he can't even control Guangdong. From the time he supported Emperor Longwu, his relationship with Shilin had been very bad.

Huang Daozhou was driven back to Fujian by Zhai Zhe, and when he came to visit, he still couldn't help but eat closed-door soup. He didn't understand why the Wang clan in eastern Zhejiang and the scholars of several societies could talk and laugh with Zhai Zhe, and the wang clan in Fujian and Guangdong had never been waiting to see him.

The attendant brought the tea tray, Zheng Zhilong sat down in front of the tea tray, and instructed while cleaning the tea set: "Ma Shiying is here, prepare a heavy gift for him, there are many places to rely on him in the future"

Zheng Hongkui replied: "Yes"

Until now, Zheng Zhilong has not figured out where the biggest advantage of the imperial court is over him. Scholars from all over the country are not afraid of the cold and are in full swing preparing for the township examination, looking forward to the carp jumping into the dragon gate in the palace examination next year.

The imperial court is that façade, from Emperor Longwu to Nanjing, the moment he returned to Fujian, the end was already doomed.

Before the wax moon.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were gathered inside and outside the city of Wuzhou, Guangxi. Their days were very leisurely, and on sunny days, soldiers climbed up to the top of the city or the sunny hillside to bask in the sun to ward off the winter chill.

Everyone seems to know that this battle cannot be fought.

The 2,000 soldiers of the imperial court lived more comfortably, the 500 horses in Zhang Zhaoyi's camp could not cut off soybean meal every day, and the Guangxi army and the Guangdong army competed to provide grain and grass.

Because, the imperial court has ordered Xu Yiyang to deal with the Wuzhou dispute with full authority.

Xu Yiyang gets along well with Chen Bangbo, and he can also have a good conversation with Zheng Cai, but he can't let Chen Bangbo and Zheng Cai face each other.

In the middle of the morning, two groups of men and horses of thirty or fifty cavalry each came to the barracks in the east of the city again.

There was still a month before the Spring Festival, and the fighting was stopped, but tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were eyeing each other, and the people living in various parts of Guangxi did not know the details and did not dare to return to their hometowns.

Today is the last gathering, and Xu Yiyang made it clear that he will return to Liuzhou tomorrow. If these two men still have their own opinions, he will ask the court to send another competent person to mediate.

Chen Bangbo was the most anxious, as soon as Xu Yiyang left, it would be difficult for him to continue to attack Wuzhou, and it would be difficult to ride a tiger if he didn't fight Wuzhou.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are stationed in the wilderness, which is not as comfortable as living in Wuzhou City, Zheng Cai has invited Xu Yiyang into the city many times, but Xu Yiyang did not give face.

The three of them are already old acquaintances.

Zheng Cai and Chen Bangbo did not wait to greet them when they entered the big tent, and after saluting, they fell into the fixed seats by themselves.

Today, from the time of entry, the breath is more depressing than ever.

Zheng Cai saw Chen Bangbo glaring at each other angrily, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "The person who wants to calculate you is not me, it is the sanctimonious military envoy Xu Jian." ”

Xu Yiyang opened his mouth with the smell of gunpowder, "The two general soldiers saw that I was young and easy to deceive, the imperial court will send an inspector to Guangxi soon, and the matter of Wuzhou should be solved when the inspector arrives, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, I don't have time to accompany you to continue to grind." ”

This is fresh news, Chen Bangbo couldn't help but ask: "I don't know who the governor is?" ”

Xu Yiyang looked depressed and said, "How do I know?"

Zheng Cai seized the opportunity and said: "Wuzhou is a territory of Guangxi, and when the governor arrives, Wuzhou will be handed over at the end." ”

He couldn't hand over Wuzhou to Chen Bangbo because Xu Yiyang wanted Wuzhou and Huaiji. The imperial court soldiers and horses have already occupied Liuzhou, and the governor of Guangxi is stationed in Guilin, if he controls Wuzhou and Huaiji, Chen Bangbo has an advantage in Guangxi, but he is far from covering the sky with one hand.

Zheng Zongbing had a long-standing enmity with Chen Zongbing, and was worried that Chen Zongbing would invade Guangdong again, so he held on to these two places. But Wuzhou and Huaiji are the territory of Guangxi in the end, and if the regent knows that Zheng's soldiers and horses have invaded and occupied the provincial capital, he will inevitably be thundered. How can you two reassure the court like this? ”

"I think there is only one solution at present" After enduring for more than a month, Xu Yiyang tried to see the dagger and threw out a solution, "I will write to the imperial court and ask the regent to choose another military general to be stationed in Huaiji and Wuzhou, so as to separate you, so as not to kill the cattle and poison the people if you have nothing to do." ”

Zheng Cai looked hesitant and embarrassed, and didn't say anything for a long time.

The same is true for Chen Bangbo.

Xu Yiyang waited for a moment, and scolded impatiently: "The regent ordered me to mediate in Wuzhou, and in vain both of you claim to treat me as a friend, and you don't show any affection at all." What I can't solve, I can only leave to the imperial court."

He flicked his sleeves and said, "Sending off" and walked straight to the back tent.

Then, Zhang Dawu, who had a plain face, walked out, did not smile, and said, "Two adults, please."

Zheng Cai suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly towards the back tent: "Lord Xu, the last general will ask Prince Zheng for advice, as long as the prince agrees, the last general will definitely not be embarrassed." The last general still wants to go to Liudu and follow the adults to visit the river square on the shore of Xuanwu Lake."

He was so close to Xu Yiyangtao, Chen Bangbo immediately seemed extremely passive.

Xu Yiyang did what he said.

The next day, the two thousand kings packed up their tents and set out on their way home.

Chen Bangbo came to see him off.

The two said goodbye under the city of Wuzhou, Chen Bangbo looked at the big banner of the word "Zheng" fluttering at the head of Wuzhou City, and said helplessly: "Lord Xu's mention yesterday was very good, please send someone to take back Wuzhou and Huaiji as soon as possible." ”

These two places are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is better than falling into the hands of the Zheng family. Chen Bangbo now suspected that the imperial court was deliberately provoking him to fight with the Zheng family.

Xu Yiyang comforted: "Don't worry, the Zheng family has no dynasty, and the regent will not care about this matter." ”

The army walked unhurriedly on the way back, and Xu Yiyang sent the book to Nanjing.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, he couldn't return to Nanjing. His father-in-law Xiao Zhiyan is in Huguang, and his mother lives in his hometown in Dongyang, so it is not interesting for him to go to Nanjing alone. After the Guangxi incident, he may have to lead the army back to Changsha.

There was no delay in any urgent report about the military situation, and the messenger who saw him off traveled almost day and night, going back and forth between Nanjing and other places.

Eighteen days later, the court ordered him to Liuzhou, and sure enough, he ordered Xu Yiyang to return to Changsha to wait for his life. Chen Youlong, the chief soldier of Wugang, led his troops and horses to guard Liuzhou Mansion and waited for the imperial court to send someone to receive it.

Xu Yiyang waited for several days to come out, and he wanted to exchange the gifts sent to him by Chen Bangbo into silver, and then deposit them in the Rishengchang Money Village. ,

On the day of the stove delivery, he arrived in Changsha, where he was well informed, and he learned that the imperial order about Guangxi had been issued.

The new governor of Guangxi has been determined, and Zhang Jiayu, the current prefect of Guangde, has been selected by the regent and will take up his post after the Spring Festival.

Zhang Jiayu has two notable backgrounds. He is a native of Dongguan, Guangdong, and he was once recruited by Fang Yizhi into the staff of the General's Mansion. It is said that Fang Yizhi chose Zhang Jiayu because they had a common experience. When the thief entered Beijing, Zhang Jiayu once offered advice to Li Zicheng, and later he fled to Jiangnan after the Qing captives entered the customs, and was implicated in the Shun case and recruited by eastern Zhejiang.

Escorting Zhang Jiayu into Gui was Jiang Rou of Hangzhou, the four heroes of the Wutang, who had made meritorious contributions in the Huaiyang War and had just been promoted to a coordinated garrison.

Xu Yiyang thought of Wuzhou, and said with emotion: "The prince picked a Cantonese person, it seems that the prince is not only Guangxi."
