Chapter 66: Set off by boat
Yongli is really angry! He even saw that Zhang Biwu was not loyal to the imperial court, and even thought of why Chongzhen repeatedly killed Zhang Biwu! It's just that Yongli didn't expect that their Zhu family was kind to Zhang Biwu, how can you ask Zhang Biwu to be loyal to your Zhu family?
Moreover, Yongli remembered how to summon Zhang Biwu when he was abused by Sun Kewang before, and Zhang Biwu did not march quickly to rescue him. Now looking at Sun Kewang's head, it is still Shunzhi and righteousness! Zhang Biwu is really not a loyal minister! It's a pity, Yongli you forgot a point, the countryman treats me, my country repays me, mortals meet me, I mortals repay me! This is Zhang Biwu!
Zhang Biwu resolutely did this, and he fell into the planning of Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, they originally expected that Zhang Biwu would be a person, since they had promised Zheng Chenggong to send troops together, then no matter what, they couldn't stop Zhang Biwu.
Shuosai and Li Shutai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Li Shutai's capable minister Fan Chengmo are all stationed in Zhejiang, and Li Shutai can be said to be Zheng Chenggong's old opponent, and he and Zheng Chenggong have won and lost each other. Now that they heard that Zhang Biwu was determined to regain Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong, they were relieved.
If you want to say Shuosai, I don't understand the importance of Taiwan, Li Shutai didn't understand the importance of Taiwan before, but since he fought with Zheng Chenggong many times, he also realized that Taiwan is a treasure island, and he also felt the strength of the red-haired ghosts, which would directly threaten them.
Li Shutai desperately wanted Zheng Chengcheng to recover Taiwan. However, he was entangled in sending someone to Taiwan to inform the Dutch governor of Taiwan, and the military commander of Taiwan to make it difficult to find it difficult. Let them strengthen the defense of Taiwan. Similar to this, Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong want to attack Taiwan, which increases variables.
Li Shutai also gave Shunzhi a letter, which means that for example, the reason why Zheng Zhilong was able to get rich was because he relied on Oceanwide to do business, and if he could carry out shipping, the Qing Dynasty would also become a powerful country.
It's just that because the world has not been unified, Li Shutai's suggestion was not adopted, and even in order to eliminate Zheng Chenggong. It is also not hesitating to give Taiwan to the Netherlands, but you can know the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Biwu naturally wants to expose it, what he means is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty inherited the mantle of the Ming Dynasty and said that it was the new inheritor of Han culture, but it couldn't even protect the land and clothing, so how could it protect the mantle? Now Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong are sending troops to Taiwan, just to return Taiwan, which has been lost for a long time.
After Zhang Biwu exposed the criminal face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the form of a text, he immediately boarded the ship with Zheng Chenggong and set off for Taiwan. And Li Shutai, Shuosai and others have received orders not to act rashly. Zhang Biwu: They can go as they want.
This article quickly spread throughout the city, and even to Beijing. Shunzhi couldn't help but read it over and over again. He remembered that Li Shutai had made an excerpt in the past, saying that the importance of Taiwan was that if it was occupied by red-haired ghosts, it would become the frontier position of red-haired ghosts attacking China in the future.
He couldn't help but think that Zheng Chenggong had always been obsessed with recovering Taiwan, and Zhang Biwu was far away in Henan and Shanxi, and he had now finally seized a large territory of Yingtianfu and Nanzhili, and he did not take advantage of the situation to attack Shuosai and Li Jiantai in Zhejiang, but wanted to recover Taiwan first with Zheng Chenggong.
It is hard to guarantee that Yongli will hate him, it will cause division, and he will not hesitate to take Taiwan. Supposedly, he could appoint a general to participate, but he didn't, he wanted to come in person, which was really strange. Doesn't this show the importance of Taiwan from one side?
Shunzhi couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou and asked, "Isn't Taiwan a barren island?" It was Zheng Zhilong who occupied it and recruited people to reclaim it, how could Zhang Biwu and Zheng Chenggong be so obsessed? The whole world says they are stupid! I can't figure it out! Could it be that Zheng Zhilong's example of getting rich is there? Then Zhang Biwu wants to paint the gourd in the same way, and he also wants to become the second Zheng Zhilong? ”
Hong Chengchou presented Zheng Zhilong about the benefits of shipping, Shunzhi looked at it, he was groaning, and said: "The Netherlands is a small small city, only by sea and maritime trade, it quickly became a world-class power, and also occupied China and occupied Taiwan!" ”
Shunzhi couldn't help but walk around and said, "They are all very respectful of shipping!" But even if I want to promote overseas trade in the Qing Dynasty, it will have to be postponed! It only needs to be stable in the world! I'm not as stupid as Zhang Biwu! In order to occupy Taiwan, he did not first recover the lost territory, and also caused hatred and suspicion in Yongli, so we will actively accumulate strength and prepare to take advantage of Zhang Biwu's absence to recover the situation! ”
Fan Wencheng said very carefully: "Your Majesty, Dolgon......" He said this and stopped. Shunzhi looked at it and said, "It's so good! I understand! I'll use Dolgon! Yongli, you guys have to work harder over there! Let Yongli know the news that we are going to move the capital, and he desperately wants to return to Beijing! How to say, Beijing is also the capital of the Ming Dynasty! Giggle! ”
Shunzhi smiled happily, his fists were clenched into fists, did he really want to give up on Beijing? No! Didn't he say: "Beijing's bait is so big, Yongli you big fish take the bait!" Ha Lu Ha! ”
Yes! There is news all over the world that Shunzhi wants to move the capital back to Shengjing in Liaodong, and he wants to fight with Dolgon, so he has to clear the retreat of Shanhaiguan.
The Manchu nobles in Beijing can be seen everywhere that they are packing up their things, they are crying, they were originally in a barren place in eastern Liaodong, and they suddenly came to paradise Beijing, you want them to quit, of course they don't want to.
On Huguang's side, Yongli was very excited when he heard it, he knew that Zhang Biwu had already led his army away, and he was about to start issuing an order, ordering all of Zhang Biwu's troops to be mobilized and ready to go north with him to restore Beijing.
Now Yongli no longer thinks about going to Yingtianfu Nanjing, but wants to return to the old capital. Both Li Guo and Li Dingguo said that they would give their full strength to support Yongli.
Only Lu Xiangsheng and Xuan Jianhao were in charge of Zhang Biwu's entire territory, but they kept using excuses to prepare before they could set off with the army to restore Shengjing. At the same time. Someone was sent to quickly chase Zhang Biwu. See how he copes.
At this time, Zhang Biwu was already marching with Zheng Chenggong to lead the sailors.
Zheng Chenggong's generals, Wu Hao and Huang Ting, all believed that Taiwan was not suitable for attack. And if you capture it, Taiwan's feng shui is not good, and it will be easy to get sick. Ma Xin, on the other hand, said that he would only send troops for reconnaissance, and that he would attack if he could, and if he couldn't, forget it. Only Yang Chaodong supported Zheng Chenggong to send troops.
Many generals thought that they should not take Taiwan, but should first take Zhejiang, and restore the entire half of the Ming River, but they sacrificed their roots and took the last. I don't know what to do.
Zheng Chenggong said to Zhang Biwu: "King Qi, if it weren't for your personal arrival, my soldiers would have strongly opposed me sending troops to Taiwan!" They all thought that either they should consolidate Fujian first, or they would capture Zhejiang and Guangdong, but they didn't know that I would not take Taiwan, and Taiwan's red-haired ghosts colluded with the Tartars, and they also wanted the red-haired ghosts' fleet to appear in my Xiamen to attack me! Alas! I also heard that in order to keep the two southern provinces, the Tartars have to spend a lot of money on the red-haired ghosts! The red-haired ghost is ready to send troops! ”
Zhang Biwu nodded and said, "Yes!" This worry must be removed! The red-haired ghost was bent on fighting with us when the Ming Dynasty fell. Think about the fact that both Francois and Holland had been defeated by our Ming army before. Even if we have a big problem now. They will not be allowed to take advantage of it! China's territory is sacrosanct and must be recovered! ”
Zhang Biwu changed his words. Asked: "You say this sea freight?" "Zhang Biwu is obviously very concerned!
Zheng Chenggong already understood, and said, "Ha Luha! King Qi, you can rest assured! How can the benefits of sea freight be less than you? And I said that I will serve you as Lord, so I will not break my word! You offended Emperor Yongli for me, I really admire you! Do you think the whole of Chinese mainland will be a mess now? ”
Zhang Biwu replied: "Maybe! I can't go if I don't go! As soon as I leave, the Manchus will make a move! I also want to see his moves, not to mention that now we will not recover Taiwan. The red-haired ghosts already know that we want to recover Taiwan, and they are constantly building fortifications in Taiwan, and they have also dispatched fleets to continuously increase Taiwan's strength, so we don't know when we will be able to recover it. And I don't have much confidence that we can get the Tartars out of the city in a few years, in case we ......."
Zhang Biwu looked at Zheng Chenggong, smiled bitterly, and said, "What if we can't drive out the Tartars in our lifetime?" So will Taiwan always be occupied by the Netherlands, and when the Netherlands occupies Taiwan for a hundred years, then it will be very difficult to take it back. Maybe while we're fighting the Tartars, the red-haired ghost will take advantage of the fisherman! Although the Tartars are hateful, they are still acceptable to some Chinese culture, but they are not like red-haired ghosts, who will completely eradicate our Chinese civilization! That's the scariest thing! is the one that needs to be eliminated immediately! ”
"Look! It's windy! This is a precursor to strong winds and rains! The lookout shouted.
Zheng Chenggong couldn't help frowning when he saw it, he planned to land at Luermen through the battle plan drawn up by He Bin, but if he wanted to successfully enter Luermen, which had a lot of reefs, he had to take the first and sixteenth tides of the first day of each month, otherwise he would not be able to land in Luermen smoothly.
Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to say to the heavens: "I hope this storm can pass quickly!" Let our army successfully land from Luermen on the first day of the new year! ”
Zhang Biwu nodded, he also hoped that everyone's wishes would come true, and he returned to his ship.
However, the wish is beautiful, and the reality is often cruel. This night, the romance is extraordinary! It also rained heavily.
Zheng Chenggong's warship was able to collect the sails with each other, and Zhang Biwu's ship also collected the sails, but there was only one ship that did not collect the sails, because the commander and a boatload of people on this battleship were northerners, that is, Zhao Dayong, and he could not imagine that if he did not collect the sails, the ship would be blown away by strong winds and waves at night.
"Whew! Whew! "The wind howled and constantly pounded the fleet. Zhang Biwu in the cabin was also rocking, he wanted to stand up, it was not an easy task, he rolled from the east side of the cabin to the west side.
Zhang Biwu said: "Oh my God! I didn't expect the sea to be so strong! Alas! If only it were an iron ship! It's a pity that the skills are not enough! Otherwise, those big steel steamers wouldn't be so bumpy! ”
"Oh no!" As soon as Lian Tong came in, he collided with Zhang Biwu because of his unsteady standing.
Zhang Biwu didn't care, but asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter? Lian Tong replied: "One of our battleships on the left flank, somehow, drove away by itself!" ”
Zhang Biwu was stunned for a moment and said, "Retreat from the battle? I beheaded him! Who is it! Lian Tong replied: "Zhao Dayong's boat!" ”
"Zhao Dayong?" Zhang Biwu was stunned, he knew that Zhao Dayong and Zhao Dawei were at the forefront of everything, and they couldn't run away from the battle, what's wrong?
Zhang Biwu was in a hurry, he had just left the division, if there were really ships to escape first, what else would he do to recover Taiwan? If he can't recover even a small Taiwan, what face will he have to face the world in the future? Besides, Zhang Biwu desperately wants to recover Taiwan! This wish must not be disappointed!
"Let's go! Go and have a look! As soon as Zhang Biwu stood up, as soon as he reached the hatch, he almost fell, but fortunately he was holding on to the hatch with both hands.
"Tie the rope!" Lian Tong shouted, if you don't tie the rope, the wind is so strong, the waves are so high, and the rain is so strong, it is not a strange thing to blow people away and wash them away!
Zhang Biwu tied his body with a rope, and as soon as he came out, oh my God! The rain fell on him, and in a few moments he was soaking wet.
There was a lot of water in his mouth, and Zhang Biwu had no choice but to spit out the water. He wiped the water from his face with the palm of his hand and looked at it, didn't he? One of the ships outside was heading out of the ranks. This ship had been tied together with the surrounding ships with ropes, but the ropes had been broken, and the chains would have been about the same.
This ship is under anchor, or without an anchor, I don't know where it went, but the wind is too strong, even if you drop anchor, it may not make the ship move.
Zhang Biwu also saw a ship moving quickly towards that ship. "Whose ship is this?" In the wind and waves, in the rain that is flapping wildly, it is impossible to see the flag on the ship.
Zhang Biwu spat out a big mouthful of water again, and the water on his face kept flowing down. He said, "Damn it! Look at none of the ships in Zheng Jun's ranks that have sailed, there is something wrong with our ship! Zhang Biwu saw clearly that the ship that chased over was Zheng Chenggong's ship.
