Chapter 820: Surrender as a whole

The army led by Liu Zeqing went more smoothly.

The governor of Fujian and many officials in Fuzhou are not as good as Zheng Zhilong, they do not have so much self-confidence, and they are also very concerned about the situation in the outside world, the changes in Nanjing, the rise of Zheng Xunrui, the king of Hunan, and the heavy blows suffered by the imperial court one after another, they are very clear, seeing that the situation is about to develop in the direction of chaos, and if this continues, if the south does not have Zheng Xunrui's leadership, it will also fall into chaos.

After Zheng Jiajun entered Fujian, many local officials pretended not to know, when Zheng Zhilong arrived in Funing Prefecture, the state government was actually clear about the situation they were facing, but when they reported the situation to Zheng Zhilong, they concealed everything and did not explain it in detail, which was also the way back for them to leave.

The army of Fuzhou Guard, when facing the Zheng army, almost did not resist, most of them surrendered as a whole, and the garrison of Fuzhou Mansion should be said to be the strongest, but when facing the Zheng Army, whether it was the army of the Guard or the army of Fuzhou Garrison Yamen, they had no intention of resisting, and the Zheng Army almost did not attack, and occupied Fuzhou City.

At this point, it should be said that Zheng Jiajun basically controlled Fujian Province.

The place is still very stable, the Zheng family's army is strictly disciplined, and there is no crime in the autumn, and it will never harass the people.

Fuzhou Mansion is basically controlled by Zheng Jiajun, Quanzhou Mansion is also basically controlled by Zheng Jiajun, and the remaining Funing Prefecture, Jianning Mansion, Shaowu Mansion, Yanping Mansion, Machizhou Mansion, Zhangzhou Mansion and other places, the problem is not very big, according to Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, as long as Fuzhou Mansion and Quanzhou Mansion are controlled and Zheng Zhilong's power is destroyed, it will be a matter of greatly adjusting the officials locally.

Of course, it will take some time to completely stabilize Fujian, but fortunately, Fujian is far away from the north and there is no major turmoil in itself.

When I received Zheng Jinhong's letter. The army led by Liu Zeqing is approaching Fuzhou Prefecture.

After occupying Fuzhou Mansion, he immediately sent 5,000 soldiers to quickly occupy the two guards near the sea in Dinghai and Meihua, which were not the burden of Zheng Zhilong's sailors, and there were not many warships stationed, so Zheng's army would not encounter many fierce battles. Zheng Jinhong's action has been completely victorious, and at this moment, Zheng Jiajun doesn't care about alarming Zheng Zhilong.

As for the Wan'an Station near Quanzhou, Zheng Zhilong's main naval division is stationed, and it will not attack for the time being.

Liu Zeqing himself also rushed to Dingchangle in person to wait for news from the sea.

According to Zheng Jinhong's comforting content, Zheng Zhilong led the warship formation to the coast of Funing Prefecture, and it is very likely that he will pass through the coast of Fuzhou and return to Jinjiang in Quanzhou. Then Liu Zeqing will have to take on the task of talking directly to Zheng Zhilong.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong may also go directly to Wan'an, that is another situation.

Only two days after Liu Zeqing arrived in Changle, he received a report from the soldiers guarding the Meihua Institute, and a warship formation was ready to enter the Meihua Institute.

The docking of warships is different from fighting on land, because there are large warships in the warship formation, and a lot of preparations need to be made for docking, and even the docks on the shore need to make corresponding preparations, so it is generally the first to send a small warship to the shore to contact.

Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that the Plum Blossom Institute had been controlled by Zheng Jiajun. Still sent a Haicang ship to contact, but all the sergeants who contacted were controlled. The news was also quickly reported to Liu Zeqing in Changle.

Liu Zeqing didn't have time to prepare, and immediately issued an order, asking the soldiers to tell Zheng Zhilong the actual situation, especially to tell Zheng Zhilong that Anhai Town and Nan'an County in Jinjiang had been controlled by Zheng Jiajun, and Zheng Zhilong needed to make a choice immediately. Either surrender unconditionally to the Zheng family's army, or make the Zheng family's army the enemy, and launch a large-scale battle at sea between the two sides, but if Zheng Zhilong chooses to be the enemy of the Zheng family's army, it is difficult to guarantee the lives of his family. It is also difficult to guarantee the lives of the families of many generals under his command.

Looking at the pale sergeant, Zheng Zhilong was like a clay sculpture, unable to speak for a long time.

He couldn't believe that Zheng Jiajun was so brave, how long it was, even if Zheng Jiajun set off from Nanjing, it would take a long time to enter Fujian, and his warship formation suffered heavy losses in Funing Prefecture, how long it was.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to be conceited, he knew very well that he had really met a brave army.

Zheng Zhilong thought of Zheng Hongkui's letter, Zheng Hongkui has not been in the capital for a long time, but more than two years, but in the letter, the strength of the Zheng family army has been mentioned many times, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Houjin Tartar several times, all of which are the credit of the Zheng family army, and the rogue Zhang Xianzhong, who the imperial court has not been able to exterminate for many years, was also completely exterminated by the Zheng family army.

Whether Zheng Jiajun really occupied Anhai Town in Jinjiang or Nan'an County, this is something that makes Zheng Zhilong frustrated and angry, if all this is true, it means that there is a major error in his own judgment, and he didn't care about Zheng Xunrui's letter, if he had been prepared, the situation would not have been so bad.

Zheng Zhilong did not immediately order the warship formation to leave, to put it bluntly, he didn't dare to leave, for him, family is the most important, as for the emperor and the court, he doesn't particularly care.

Zheng Zhibao was speechless, his family was also in the mansion of Anhai Town, Jinjiang, since Zheng Jiajun had captured Anhai Town, his family was also captured.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao are most concerned about the truth of the news, and whether their families have been harmed.

Two days later, it was all revealed.

Zheng Sen sent a letter, which informed everything in detail, and also explained the conditions put forward by Zheng Jiajun.

From Zheng Sen's letter, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao finally knew all the situation, Zheng Jiajun did enter Fujian, and it was divided into land and waterway, the commander of the two armies entering Fujian was Nanjing Criminal Department Shangshu, the left deputy imperial envoy, Zheng Jinhong, the general soldier of Zheng Jiajun, Quanzhou and Fuzhou have been completely occupied by Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Jiajun has not yet attacked Wan'an, Pinghaiwei, Chongwu, Yongningwei, Fuquan, Jinmen, Zhenhaiwei and other places where the main force of Zheng Zhilong's naval division is stationed, that is the time for Zheng Zhilong to choose, If Zheng Zhilong chooses to be the enemy of the Zheng family's army, then the next offensive will begin soon.

If Zheng Zhilong chooses to surrender, he must gather all the main fleets and concentrate them in Yongningwei, which is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, and wait for the deployment of Zheng's army, and no other conditions must be put forward.

Zheng Sen concluded his letter by emphasizing that Zheng Jiajun's attitude towards all family members, including those captured in Nan'an County, had not been mistreated.

"Fourth brother, what do you say I should do?"

The situation is all true, and Zheng Zhilong is facing the most important decision.

If there was no battle with the sailors in front, Zheng Zhilong would probably spend some money to redeem some of the main family members, and he would not think about submitting to Zheng Xunrui and the Zheng family, but after the battle with the Zheng family's army and the sailors, Zheng Xunrui was frightened, he didn't dare to imagine what the results would be if he continued to resist, although the strength of the sailors under his command was strong, but after all the land was controlled by the Zheng family's army, the giant fleet under his command soon faced the danger of disintegration, after all, there was no support of money and food on land, Such a large fleet simply could not be maintained.

Continuing to be a pirate is also a choice, but the strength of the Zheng family's naval division makes him feel that being a pirate is in great danger.

What's even worse is that all the families of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Zhibao were captured by the Zheng family, and if Zheng Zhilong chooses to resist, he will really become a loner.

Zheng Zhibao is much younger, it is the time when the blood is strong, in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court once appeased Zheng Zhilong, and it was he and Zheng Zhihu, who had already died, expressed their opposition.

But this time, Zheng Zhibao didn't dare to say hard words, after all, his family was captured alive.

Besides, Zheng Zhibao is much older, and he is also a student of Guozi, so he has a good knowledge.

"Big brother, I'm afraid we have no other choice but to do what we ask."

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhibao and sighed.

"What if Zheng Jiajun doesn't accept us, what if we surrender and can't continue to stay in Fujian, if Zheng Jiajun wants to disband the sailors, what about so many brothers who follow us, once we lose control of maritime trade, what money will we have in the future, how will we support our families......

Zheng Zhilong said so much in one breath, but Zheng Zhibao didn't answer.

The plum blossom institute prepared provisions, which Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao did not expect, if they did not get supplies, it would indeed be difficult for them to hold on, and they might not be able to sail Wan'an and Haiwei, and it would be difficult to maintain the warship formation.

When he received the supplies, Zheng Zhilong made a decision to return to Zheng Jiajun without any conditions.

Liu Zeqing's order soon arrived, requiring Zheng Zhilong to advance towards Yongningwei in Quanzhou, gather the main warships under his command, including the main sailor sergeants, and accept the dispatch of Zheng's army in Yongningwei.

By this time, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao no longer had any choice, they could only follow orders.

The warship formation headed in the direction of Yongningwei, and in the process of sailing, warships such as Wan'ansu, Pinghaiwei, and Chongwusuo gradually joined the sailing team, making the entire warship formation more and more huge.

Looking at the increasingly huge warship formation, Zheng Zhilong's heart was very uncomfortable, the sailor he was proud of, was about to lose in such a short period of time, this is the result of his hard work for decades, from the original pirate, to the current governor Tongzhi, Fujian General Army, although the status has changed greatly, Zheng Zhilong has never relaxed in terms of enhancing strength.

Zheng Zhilong is still a little unconvinced, how strong Zheng Jiajun is, he wants to see it, these brothers under his command are not so easy to talk to, if he Zheng Zhilong is sincerely obedient, then these brothers can also obey Zheng Jiajun's reorganization, if he Zheng Zhilong has other ideas, chaos will definitely appear.
