Chapter 519: Advance Arrangement
Soon after, the battle in the Guandi Temple ended, and the sounds of all kinds of fights disappeared, only the strong smell of blood diffused in the air, and there was the corpse on the ground, which was extremely tragic.
Niu Yan also walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, came to the outside of the Guandi Temple, stood next to the body of Zhou Zhifan, listened to the report of a flattering surrendered general, and between his words, he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.
"General, general, please see, this is the corpse of Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu, and I hope that the general will say more good words in front of the emperor and say some good things.
At this time, under Niu Yan's calm expression, there was a slight ripple, his brows frowned slightly, and he stared straight at Zhou Zhifan's corpse, the face full of dirt and unkempt makeup had already faded its original appearance.
The surrendering general sensitively caught Niu Yan's expression fluctuated, and suddenly had a bad feeling, as if he had thought of something, and his heart chuckled, and the excitement on his face turned cloudy, and his voice became trembling, unwilling to guess in his heart.
"General Niu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with that? ”
Niu Yan ignored the question of the surrendered general, the words that were almost pleading, but made a slight move with his right hand, and then pointed to Zhou Zhifan's face, and said lightly: "Tidy up the face of this 'Emperor Longwu', don't let people die too aggrieved, you should have the makeup and dignity that belongs to an emperor." ”
"Yes, General!"
Obviously, the surrendering generals did not know Zhu Yujian, let alone met this person.
As the stains on Zhou Zhifan's face were wiped away, and his true face was exposed to everyone's field of vision, the expressions of Niu Yan and the others became more and more ugly, and they became gloomy, and the surrendering generals still had a blank look on their faces, looking like they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know what was going on.
At this time, a faint contempt floated out of the crowd, and the words were full of mockery.
"Hmph... The people in the dragon robe are not necessarily the emperor, a bunch of fools! ”
Quanzhou Mansion, Jinjiang, Fujian.
In one of the military camps of the Zheng family's water division, Zheng Chenggong and Ma Xin were alone in a big tent, talking secretly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and solemn.
"Ma Xin, you are the person I trust the most, and you are the only sailor general who can help me now."
"Young marshal, the last general was pulled up by you, you can rest assured, the last general will definitely be full of liver and brains, take your horse as the head, obey your orders, if there is anything, you can command!"
"Okay, Ma Xin, with your words, I'm relieved!"
Between the words, the atmosphere in the big tent became much more relaxed and pleasant, and Zheng Chenggong's heart was secretly relieved, and he suddenly had eighty percent confidence in what he planned at night.
Zheng Chenggong pondered slightly, as if he was organizing language, and seemed to be thinking about a problem, after a while, his expression narrowed slightly, and then he said earnestly: "Ma Xin, with years of friendship, I won't hide and choke, you also know that my father is bent on joining the Great Shun Dynasty, and you also know my attitude all the time, it is impossible to surrender to the rebels." ”
Ma Xin nodded lightly and remained silent in response, waiting for the other party's next words, his heart moved, and he probably guessed what the other party wanted to do?
Zheng Zhilong's secret trip to Jianning Mansion may not be known to ordinary people, but for them high-ranking generals, it is no longer a secret secret, especially since he has another identity.
Therefore, at this moment, Ma Xin was extraordinarily calm and calm, just listening to Zheng Chenggong's speech quietly.
"So, Ma Xin, in order to serve the court and not be in the same boat with others, I am ready to pull out a team, completely reverse it, break with my father, never accept the surrender of the Dashun Dynasty, and swear to serve the Ming Dynasty to the death!"
Although he had already guessed this and had the corresponding mental preparations, Ma Xin was still shocked by Zheng Chenggong's determination, and sincerely admired this loyalty.
"So, young marshal, what do you need the general to do?"
When Ma Xin asked this, he secretly exhaled, pretending to be sincere, that sincere look, willing to do anything for Zheng Chenggong, quite an actor's talent, Zheng Chenggong was stunned, convinced that there was him!
At this moment, the light in Zheng Chenggong's eyes became more and more blazing, and the whole person became radiant, full of hope, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, so that he kept himself old and serious, so he pretended to be calm and said: "What I need you to do is actually very simple, just tonight, I will feast some sailors and generals here with you, persuade them, revolt with me, flee to the sea, and prepare to fight against the Dashun army for a long time." ”
"Young marshal, can this be done?"
Ma Xinxin moved, and after asking this sentence, he added: "Young marshal, it's not that the last general will pour cold water on you, but I want to remind you in advance that among the sailors, the marshal has absolute prestige, and among those generals, eight or nine times out of ten are the henchmen of the marshal. ”
Obviously, Zheng Chenggong also thought of this, he was not very confident in his heart, when he heard this with his own ears, he was inevitably a little worried, and a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, it seemed that he was appeasing Ma Xin, how could it not be self-comforting.
"Ma Xin, don't worry, in this matter, we are by no means alone, and my fourth and fifth uncles are assisting in planning this matter together."
"Oh... It turns out that this is the case, if this is the case, there is at least seven to eighty percent certainty that it will succeed After all, the prestige of the two generals in the naval division is second only to that of the marshal, and they should be able to convince many veterans. ”
Ma Xin nodded lightly, looking happy for Zheng Chenggong, but his heart was suddenly surprised, no wonder the other party was so confident, as if he had thought of something, his expression was constricted, and he asked instead: "Hmm... Young marshal, you don't just ask the last general to provide such an occasion for the young marshal to convince those generals, right? ”
"Of course not......"
Zheng Chenggong spit out four words without hesitation, with a meaningful look on his face, and then continued with some flickering words: "When the time comes, if those sailor generals don't listen to persuasion, they need to use some special means to make those veterans 'convinced' and have to follow us to get into trouble......"
Ma Xin was surprised again, he didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to be so young, he actually had such a scheming and Lei Li wrist, this is a double preparation, once he knows that it can't be reasoned, then he is ready to use strong.
Although he had this kind of guess in his heart, and looked at Zheng Chenggong's expression again, Ma Xin knew that his guess must be correct, but he still asked again: "Young marshal, do you mean that when you negotiate secretly with those veterans, I hope that the last general will bring some generals to guard outside, 'guard' around, and 'protect' your safety?" ”
As Ma Xin emphasized the words "vigilance" and "protection", Zheng Chenggong was also very satisfied with Ma Xin's performance, nodded lightly, and smiled to show an affirmative response.
