Chapter Ninety-One: The Second Ascension
The Dutch were the first to occupy Kinmen, and were later driven out by the Ming Dynasty sailors. The Ming army was unable to destroy the Dutch army, so they retreated and ordered the Dutch army to be stationed in Taiwan. The Netherlands tried to return to Kinmen many times, but failed, and was forced to build a city in Taiwan as a last resort. The Dutch side would rather stay in Kinmen, the land of projectiles, than go to Taiwan, and the Ming Dynasty regarded Taiwan as dung but resolutely refused to let the Dutch army go to Kinmen, which shows the desolation of Taiwan.
After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, the elite soldiers of his department died, and Taiwan's army was all newly recruited local soldiers, and with the desolation of Taiwan, the number of troops could not be much more. After Zheng Chenggong returned to Taiwan, the Heaven and Earth Society was mainly composed of soldiers left on the mainland by Zheng Jun, with a total of tens of thousands of people, and most of them were veterans of a hundred battles who had followed Zheng Chenggong for many years.
Judging from the number and quality of the armed forces, I am afraid that Taiwan's armed forces may not be comparable to the Heaven and Earth Society. Judging from the amount of money and food obtained by the two sides, the gap between the two sides is even greater, after all, the Zheng family stays in Taiwan, which is a barbarian land, and heaven and earth will stay in the mainland where the land is prosperous. From this point of view, the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society is only afraid that it has surpassed the Zheng family in Taiwan. The Zheng family asked the Heaven and Earth Society to send a large amount of money and grain to Taiwan, but they were afraid that first, Taiwan was indeed in financial difficulties, and second, it also had an attempt to limit the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society.
The more Xiang Yan thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and asked, "Then how can I invite Fifth Prince Zhu to ascend the throne?" Chen Jinnan said: "After Taiwan is fully prepared, send troops to Fujian and Zhejiang, go north to Jinling, and then invite the fifth prince of Zhu to ascend the throne." Xiang Yan asked, "Then when will Taiwan be ready?" Chen Jinnan bowed his head and was silent.
Xiang Yan didn't give up, and asked again: "Can't you ignore Taiwan and leave the money and grain for yourself?" Chen Jinnan's face changed, and he shouted: "The people of the Heaven and Earth Society are deeply favored by the country's surname, how can they betray the county king and be an ungrateful villain?" Xiang Gongzi, I respect you as a righteous man who opposes the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, so I won't worry about you this time. Next time you dare to say something like this, don't blame me for being rude to you. ”
Xiang Yan silently. Just now, he was still telling Chen Yuanyuan that it was impossible for Wu Sangui to forcibly surrender to the Qing Dynasty against the common wishes of his generals, but now he forgot about it. There will be so many people in heaven and earth, how can just one Chen Jinnan be able to cover the sky with one hand? If Chen Jinnan had gone against the common will of his subordinates and insisted on going his own way, the Heavenly and Earth Societies would have either broken up or rebelled long ago.
Besides, among the hall masters of the Heaven and Earth Society, except for Wei Xiaobao, the rest of the hall masters are Zheng Chenggong's old subordinates, and they deeply feel Zheng Chenggong's great kindness. Even Wei Xiaobao's subordinates are all old men who have followed Zheng Chenggong for many years. If Chen Jinnan proposes that regardless of Taiwan, Heaven and Earth will stand on its own, I am afraid that the people of Heaven and Earth will chop Chen Jinnan first, and then carry his head to Taiwan to meet the Zheng family.
Suddenly, I heard Zheng Gongzi shouting loudly behind him: "What next time?" This person will rebel against heaven and earth, and his heart can be punished. Chen Jinnan killed him immediately. ”
Xiang Yan was startled, and when he looked back, Zheng Gongzi, who was full of anger, was not far behind him, and it seemed that what he said to Chen Jinnan just now was heard by him. Looking at Aqi again, I saw Aqi smiling viciously at herself. Xiang Yan's heart suddenly became cold, Ah Qi, this little girl, had really said that Zheng Gongzi would kill me.
Chen Jinnan said: "Second son, although Xiang Shaoxia's words are offensive, he is also a great plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!" Please bear with me. ”
Xiang Yan's heart was a little calm, and Chen Jinnan was really interceding for himself. At this time, Xiang Yan secretly prayed in his heart: "Chen Jinnan, you must withstand the pressure of Zheng Gongzi and save my life!" ”
Zheng Gongzi said angrily: "Chen Jinnan, are you shielding this person trying to betray my Zheng family's self-reliance?" Chen Jinnan hurriedly said: "Second son, the subordinate has always been loyal......" Before the words fell, a long sword pierced Chen Jinnan's body, and the bloody tip of the sword had passed through Chen Jinnan's chest. It turned out that Master Feng quietly went around behind Chen Jinnan, and took advantage of Chen Jinnan's unpreparedness to suddenly use a secret hand and plot against Chen Jinnan.
Xiang Yan was shocked: "Chen Jinnan died like this?" He's going to die, who can save my life under Zheng Gongzi? ”
Master Feng plotted against Chen Jinnan, and everyone was shocked. Immediately afterwards, the people of the Heaven and Earth Congregation shouted: "This wicked man killed the chief helmsman, and everyone fought with him to avenge the chief helmsman!" Everyone rushed towards Zheng Gongzi and Master Feng. Zheng Gongzi turned around, turned his back to Xiang Yan, took two steps back, and shouted, "Heaven and earth will rebel." Master Feng, kill all these thieves. "Master Feng held a long sword in his hand, and together with Zheng Gongzi's other subordinates, he mingled with the people of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Hope ignited in Xiang Yan's heart again: "There are ten people in the Heaven and Earth Society, and Zheng Gongzi's subordinates plus Master Feng are only four. If the people of the Heaven and Earth Society killed Zheng Gongzi with the advantage of being outnumbered, they would be able to survive, after all, the people of the Heaven and Earth Society would have no reason to kill me. ”
Unexpectedly, Master Feng's martial arts were strong, and he rushed back and forth among the people of the Heaven and Earth Society like a tiger entering a flock. In a short time, all the people of the Heaven and Earth Congregation were killed.
Xiang Yan looked at the dying Chen Jinnan and the majestic Master Feng, and his heart was full of despair: "Master Feng's martial arts are so high? The people of the Heaven and Earth Guild tried their best, but they only killed the other three subordinates of Zheng Gongzi, and Master Feng was not even injured. This kind of kung fu, even if Shuang'er and Shu'er join forces, they shouldn't be opponents. Now that Zheng Gongzi wants to kill me, who else can save me on the whole island. Looking at Aqi, Aqi was smiling smugly at Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan's anger was born from the side of his heart, and he was ruthless in his heart: "We have no grudges and no hatred, but you want to kill me because you want to please the beauty." Since you won't let me live, then don't want to live, let's die together! Xiang Yan took out the dagger that had been hidden in his boots, and stabbed Zheng Gongzi in the back of the heart with a sad heart.
Chen Jinnan, who had not yet lost his breath, shouted: "Second son! Xiang Yan glared angrily, pointed at Xiang Yan and said: "You ......" and did not bat at a glance. With tears in her eyes, Ah Ke shouted, "Gongzi Zheng," picked up a knife that Qing soldiers had thrown on the ground, and rushed towards Yan with Master Feng. Ah Qi also picked up his weapon and followed Ah Ke towards Yan Kill.
Shuang'er and Yan Shu picked up the knife, intercepted Master Feng, and slashed at Master Feng twice. Master Feng stretched out his sword to block Shuang'er and Yan Shu's attacks, and flew up with two kicks, kicking the second daughter down. Sister Quan suddenly rushed towards the last boat in the sea, Master Feng cursed, dropped Xiang Yan, and chased after Sister Quan.
Ah Ke and Ah Qi ignored it and continued to kill in the direction of words. Xiang Yan's dantian is getting more and more swollen, and his body is getting heavier and heavier, but people always have the illusion of floating upward. This strong contrast makes people very uncomfortable and want to vomit blood.
Xiang Yan's own kung fu was under the second daughter, and his body was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't resist the joint attack of the two daughters, and was slashed again and again. Fortunately, the quality of the treasure clothes sent to Xiang Yan by Suo Etu was acceptable, and he was not injured. Aqi said: "There is something strange about him, stabbing him in the eye." Ake said, "Yes." The second girl stabbed Xiang Yan in the eye, and Xiang Yan defended desperately, and there was danger for a while.
Ah Qi was impatient, and suddenly changed his trick to cut Xiang Yan's leg, Xiang Yan was caught off guard, and was slashed by Ah Qi, fell to the ground, and lamented in his heart: "I still can't live today." I didn't expect that I didn't die in the hands of Zheng Gongzi's men, but I was killed by these two little girls. ”
Ke and Ah Qi swung their knives at Xiang Yan's neck again, and this time Xiang Yan was exhausted and couldn't resist. Suddenly, Xiang Yan's body floated upward, just avoiding the knife that the second daughter slashed at Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan reluctantly glanced at Yan Shu, who was struggling to get up and crying towards him, and then secretly glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
