Being loyal to the Ming Dynasty and being a loyal minister is a major issue of right and wrong. Zhu Yongxing also wants to talk about Zhongxing Huangming, and after Yongli's death, Zheng Chenggong will also hang the signboard of Mingchen, not to mention Zheng Jing?

shaving his hair and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, if Zheng Jing dared to do it, his generals and the gentry who followed the Zheng family would not agree in the first place; He is arrogant and does not respect the court, and he can do it, but when he meets the Ming army, he completely tears his face, and he can't bear the reputation of "chaotic ministers and thieves".

Of course, Zhu Yongxing will not be pressed too hard. At present, the primary enemy is the Qing Dynasty, and he will not adopt the practice of appeasing the interior first and then the outside of the soil, but the Ming army and naval division have been established with great difficulty, and he will not let it be consumed in internal strife.

After a long conversation with Chen Ba, Zhu Yongxing was more sure of the strategy he would adopt in this Zheng infighting. It's very simple, the main thing is just one word - drag. dragging the title of King Yanping and dragging the reputation of the country's surname made Zheng Jing unable to be tough and unable to achieve enough prestige. Then, in Zheng Jing's internal purge, he collected his centrifugal generals, and it was best to use his rapidly expanding strength to force Zheng Jing to abandon Jinxia and return to Taiwan to operate. If you can't help, don't add to the chaos, give up half of the golden waterway, well, Zhu Yongxing is this idea.

"In the first battle of Chaozhou, you bravely rushed to kill, and your contribution was indispensable." Zhu Yongxing had already made up his mind, and suddenly changed the topic, "The Marquis of Zhongyong can be described as worthy of the name!" Lone has issued an edict to restore the lord of you. ”

Chen Ba was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

When Chen Ba came to vote, in order to give Zheng Chenggong a step, Zhu Yongxing took him in and gave Chen Ba the punishment of being demoted. Now that the Zheng family is infighting, in order to win the hearts of Zheng Jun's people, Zhu Yongxing decided to make good use of Chen Ba's example. On the one hand, the original Zheng family soldiers brought by Chen Ba will be scattered and placed. It has been digested by the water master is another thing, and Zhu Yongxing is no longer worried about Chen Ba's repetition.

Chen Ba is also a smart person, and he somewhat guessed some of Zhu Yongxing's ideas. But for him, it's nothing. In the Ming army, there is almost no family and nepotism like the Zheng family, as long as you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. It will not be buried. The trainee officers who entered the martial arts hall of the water division in batches were young and energetic, which further compressed the space for the veteran to be arrogant and domineering.

Such a relatively simple environment made Chen Ba feel happy. He no longer has to think about all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships, worrying that he is not a descendant of so-and-so and will be left out in the cold, he only needs to focus on fighting and making meritorious contributions. As for his own ability, Chen Ba is still very confident.

Although Zhu Yongxing already had a reputation for benevolence, Chen Ba knew that benevolence alone could not integrate Nanming's scattered forces. Yongli is also benevolent. It's cowardly, but what's the use? In taking him and his subordinates, as well as his attitude and methods towards the Zheng family, Chen Ba also recognized Zhu Yongxing's shrewdness and wisdom, as well as his courage.

Although this is a benevolent master, he cannot be bullied, and he has a ruthlessness in his bones to severely punish the culprit of the Guangzhou massacre. is a case in point. After Chen Ba realized this, he also understood why Zhu Yongxing was able to get to this position. The emperor can't do it. What's more, the clan stays behind? The times create heroes, but not only the strength of the anti-Qing Dynasty needs a banner that stabilizes the hearts of the people, but Zhu Yongxing's personal ability must not be ignored.

"Loyal and brave marquis, loyal and brave, lonely and optimistic about you." Zhu Yongxing laughed and teased, and reached out to take a wooden box. Motioned for Chen Ba to take it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the favor." Chen Ba took the wooden box and gave a deep salute.

No matter what Zhu Yongxing is rewarding, this represents recognition, and with the reinstatement of officials, he can play his own banner. Chen Ba knew the heaviness of this wooden box.

"The Loyal and Brave Marquis doesn't have to be polite." Zhu Yongxing motioned for Chen Ba to sit down, and after gently comforting him, and after explaining, he personally sent Chen Ba out.

Zheng Chenggong led his division to take Taiwan, and ordered Zheng Jing to guard Siming (Xiamen) and dispatch the coastal islands. At that time, Zheng Jing was nineteen years old, and he had married the granddaughter of Shangshu Tang Xianyue, but the two did not get along, and had an affair with Chen, the nurse of the fourth brother, and gave birth to a son, named Zheng Kezang. At first, Zheng Jing reported to his father that the concubine had given birth to a son, and Zheng Chenggong was happy to add a grandson and rewarded some money.

In the ethical concept at that time, "three fathers and eight mothers, and the nursing mother is also one of them", which means that Zheng Jing's move was chaotic in the eyes of the scholars, × doctors. So, Tang Xianyue complained about his granddaughter and wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong, accusing him of "This is not the right way to govern the family, can you govern the country safely?" ”

Zheng Chenggong was furious when he heard this, and Huang Yu took the order and arrows and drew three dragon buckets and one lacquer red-headed buckets, crossed Kinmen and brother Tai, and went to Xiamen to behead his wife Dong's crime of not governing the family strictly, as well as the grandson and nursing mother Chen who were born to him.

Huang Ting, Hong Xu, Chen Hui, Wang Xiuqi and other generals of Shoujin and Xiamen were shocked after receiving the order, and tried to make the big thing small, and discussed with Zheng Tai and Huang Yu to adopt a compromise method to kill only Chen and the baby born, and the generals jointly signed a petition on behalf of Mrs. Dong and Zheng Jing to plead guilty. After obtaining the consent of Dong and Zheng, it was handled accordingly, and Huang Yu returned to Taiwan to resume his life.

However, Zheng Chenggong insisted that he must kill Mrs. Dong and Zheng Jing, and unsheathed his sword and sent Huang Yu to Kinmen to be executed by Zheng Tai. Zheng Tai had no choice but to send Huang Yu to Xiamen to explain the dilemma to Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing immediately detained Huang Yu and discussed countermeasures with Jin and Xiamen civil and military officials. At this time, Cai Minglei came from Taiwan to move his family, Zheng Jing and others asked him for news, Cai Minglei because of his negligence in Taiwan, afraid of being punished for success, deliberately exaggerated, saying that the feudal lord had sworn to get rid of Mrs. Dong and Zheng Jing, and if the officials of Jin and Xiamen refused to obey the order, they would all be beheaded.

At this point, the lie pushed the generals Jin and Xia to the side of Zheng Jing. "The son of the world, the son of the world, shall not reject the father; Please, minister, don't refuse the king. But Tai is a brother, and a brother can refuse a brother. Whoever takes food and pay for all things should deal with it, and if he wants to increase his army, he will definitely resist it. This decision of the generals made it clear that they would jointly disobey the order and use force to resist Zheng Chenggong's Xingshi and ask for guilt. Zheng Tai thought about it repeatedly, and after agreeing, he sent Zheng Chenggong to the generals Gongqi, which contained the words "repay the favor for a day, and wait for an indefinite period", which clearly expressed the meaning of the generals of Jin and Xia.

Zheng Chenggong, who has always been good at Weifu and decisive in killing, never expected that things would turn out like this. After reading the letter, he was extremely angry in his heart, and his illness became even more serious. But Zheng Chenggong still supported the sick body, and every day he boarded the platform with a telescope in his hand to see if there were any boats coming in the direction of Penghu. It wasn't until seven days later that he died of complete despair and choking at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

A generation of national heroes was angry with their sons and died young, which is really regrettable and speechless. (To be continued......)
