The more he received the good news from Yan Siqi from Penghu, the more urgent Zheng Haizhu begged Yu Zhigao to send a boat to Penghu immediately.

"Master, the two red-haired battleships that broke through and escaped have not fired shells from the starboard side. If Yan Xuanfu had only won a miserable victory in Penghu Island, and happened to meet the two warships that had fled back to the Penghu base......"

Yu Zhigao waved his hand: "What Miss Zheng is worried about, I will understand." ”

Although he won the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, he had seen the power of the huge cannons on the large Dutch five-masted sailing ship with his own eyes during the whole night of commanding operations, and he did not dare to support it.

Yu Zhigao then ordered the Franky cannons on the participating ships to be transported to the four Fu boats in the harbor to prepare for war, and Zheng Yi, the staff general, led 200 flood soldiers who had been stationed in Penghu Island, taking advantage of the northwest wind to turn forward, and sail eastward.

At this time, it is the beginning of the end of the year, and the morning has jumped out of the sea level a lot, and ten thousand golden threads break through the clouds, scattering thousands of blue waves to the east, creating a brilliant and dazzling world.

Zheng Haizhu stood on the side of the ship, looking back at the west, the smoke on the sea surface of Liuluo Bay had not dispersed, showing the picture of the wrecked ship floating corpses and devastation.

But in the smooth light of the rising sun, the Kinmen Island Guard is quite magnificent.

Zheng Yi walked over and said politely: "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely work with Yan Xuanfu to expel them, force them to not be able to rest for a breath, and go back to the old nest in the Manlaga area." ”

Zheng Haizhu was not in front of the generals of the Fujian official army and naval division, so he avoided being friends with Yan Siqi, and hurriedly echoed Zheng Yi with a smile.

How did she know that General Zheng standing in front of her would be the cousin of her original Miss Zheng, but she felt that among the generals under Yu Zhigao, only this Zheng Yi had a calm and humble bearing in addition to the decisiveness of the generals.

Zheng Haizhu then took the initiative to talk and said: "General Zheng, I am from Longxi, Zhangzhou, I don't know where I am from?" ”

】

Zheng Yi smiled: "My home is in Funing Prefecture, Ningde County. Although I am also considered a Fujian person, I entered the Zhejiang camp back then. ”

"Oh," Zheng Haizhu said in surprise, "A senior I respect very much in Songjiang, surnamed Miao, is the daughter of a virtuous family in the city, and is also a native of Ningde. ”

Zheng Yi nodded slightly, and said kindly: "Outsiders look at our famous prefectures and counties in Fujian, either the two places of Zhangquan where merchants are bustling, or the four islands of Jinxia, Haitan, and Penghu that are fought for by soldiers. Has Miss Zheng ever been to Ningde? ”

Zheng Haizhu showed regret on his face: "Although I was born in Fujian, I only went north to Jiangnan to seek rice, passed through Fuzhou, and never went to the beach to visit Ningde. ”

Zheng Haizhu's regret was not out of greetings.

As a modern person majoring in history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, of course she knows that there is a relatively mainstream view in the historical circles that in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di captured the city of Nanjing, and his nephew Emperor Jianwen disguised himself as a monk and fled, and Zheng Qia and other ministers and pro-army hid in the mountainous area where Zhejiang and Fujian meet. Archaeology shows that in front of an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty in Shangjinbei, Ningde, which is significantly more than ordinary monks, the inscription on the relics pagoda is bizarrely not engraved with the year name of the dynasty, and the silk gold robe dedicated to the royal family was found in the nearby ancient temple.

Historians checked the official history, and did not find that there were monks in the Ming Dynasty who received the imperial robe, and died in Funing Prefecture, and when Emperor Jianwen fled Nanjing, he took away a golden robe passed to him by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang. Looking at the blank relics tablet of the year name in this way, it is inevitable that people will think that the owner of the tomb engraved the year name "Jianwen", which is tantamount to revealing his identity, and if the year name "Yongle" is engraved, it is tantamount to great humiliation, so he simply does not write anything.

Zheng Haizhu was very interested in this inference of the historian and kept it in mind. It's just that after crossing over, when I opened my eyes, I was in Zhangzhou, and I didn't associate my surname "Zheng" with Zheng Qia's descendants.

At this moment, when he heard that Zheng Yi was from Ningde, Zheng Haizhu couldn't help but feel inquisitive.

The Wanli Emperor of the current dynasty has rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru and other courtiers, and restored the name of Emperor Jianwen, and the scribes in the Jiangnan area, especially the Donglin School, have been able to discuss this old matter of the previous dynasty.

Zheng Haizhu was not very shy about it, and said to Zheng Yi: "If the general is from Ningde, and the Zhejiang Camp Sailor who entered the year again, I don't know if you have heard of Zheng Qia and Zheng Gong, a virtuous minister of the Jianwen Dynasty?" Zheng Gong was originally from Zhejiang, and when he heard that he arrived at the border of Fujian and Zhejiang with Emperor Jianwen, he disappeared. ”

Zheng Yi was stunned in his heart, but he didn't expect that the niece in front of him, who was not easy to recognize, suddenly mentioned the ancestor Zheng Qia.

Could it be that the uncle who was allowed to move out of the Zheng family after making a poisonous oath back then has actually revealed his life experience to his children and nephews?

Zheng Yi was deliberately tempted, so he was stunned, and then showed a cold look, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zheng, a certain person is a recruiter, has a rough pen and ink, and knows very little about literature and history, I haven't heard anything about Zheng Gong in your mouth, but I still know the name of Jianwen." The ancestor was definitely not an official accompaniment by Emperor Jianwen's side. Hey, Miss Zheng, your surname is also Zheng, could it be that your family is ......"

Zheng Haizhu was originally a curious question such as a historical exploration, but seeing that Zheng Yi was displeased, he estimated that the generals in the army were still more conservative and avoided talking about such secrets, so he waved his hand again and again, and said admittedly: "No, no, my family is not either." I don't hide it from the general, but now long live the magnanimity of the Sacred Heart and the construction of the Biaozhong Temple in Nanjing, I have heard Jiangnan scholars talk about Zheng Gong's loyalty, courage and resourcefulness. Ahem, we are businessmen, we are such inquisitive people, the general is not to blame. ”

Zheng Yi secretly sneered.

What a table of loyalty, what a sacred heart magnanimity!

It's not what Zheng Ge Lao and Lord Miao said, but because the waste Wanli on the dragon chair was first handled by Zhang Juzheng, and later by the ministers and the party, and there was nothing smooth in matters such as the establishment of the prince, so he turned out Fang Xiaoru and told those civil officials, you look at how loyal they were to the king back then, and they can be called an example of pure ministers for all generations.

It's a shame that there are so many stunned people in the world who will regard this as the benevolent act of the descendants of Zhu Di's thief, and will think that Jianwen's bloodline and Jingnan's orphans should be reconciled and grateful to Dade from now on.

He really deserves to be a submissive citizen who has been a cow and a horse for the rest of his life.

But Zheng Yi, after seeing what Zheng Haizhu did this time, really no longer believed that this woman was stunned all the way, and couldn't judge the truth and falsehood of her words at the moment, so he eased his expression and said: "Where does the girl say, Zheng Mou himself was born in a war, and he will not look down on businessmen and craftsmen." If it weren't for you, where would the knives, guns, hooks, and firearms that our sailors have come from? ”

Zheng Haizhu thought that if he went back to make a heavy arquebus and supplied it to the Fujian sailors, he would often come to Xiamen to investigate and ask Zheng Yi about the operation experience of these generals, and the friendship could be climbed, so he turned the topic to his firearms factory and continued to chat.

After rushing by sea for most of the day, when he could see the outline of the islands north of Penghu Island, Zheng Yi raised his binoculars and blurted out first: "I can't see the smoke of gunpowder, I'm not fighting." ”

After holding his breath and looking closely, he added: "There are two white-sailed ships on the shore, and the masts are gone. The others are all Ming boats. Yan Xuanfu was not small, and he brought so many boats. The two big red-haired boats that escaped from our Liuluo Bay are not in Penghu. ”

Zheng Haizhu is clear.

The current situation in Penghu shows that Rufen's flagship and another large Galen ship were either defeated by the Ming army after another exchange of fire with Yan Siqi, or they simply fled back to Batavia after discovering that Penghu was also controlled by the Ming army.

When Zheng Yi's fleet approached Baisha Island, he raised the flag, and sure enough, he received an immediate response from the Ming ship's standard-bearer.

When the fleet entered the port, Zheng Haizhu and the officers and men of the Fujian Navy Division landed in a small firewood boat, and as soon as they landed, Yan Siqi greeted them.

"Big brother, where's Mabel?" Zheng Haizhu asked hurriedly.

Yan Siqi's face was stained with black stains of fireworks and sweat, and the front and back of the iron back armor were also stained with blood, but his eyes were full of the excitement of the winner.

"Don't worry, Mabel is not hurt, she is very clever, she only came out of the woods when we tied up the captives, and she is probably exhausted by fear, and now she is asleep in her tent."

Zheng Haizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around again, looking for Yang Tiansheng and the other Ming soldiers who were pretending to be Chinese slave laborers.

Without waiting for Yan Siqi to speak again, Yang Tiansheng had already gnawed on dry food and strode in front of Zheng Haizhu.

Zheng Haizhu looked at the hemp rope around his waist that had become very thin, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, I know that your tricks have also become." ”

Yang Tiansheng also pointed to the mountainside happily and said: "Yes, the good trick taught by Miss Zheng, the place where many of our Yan Jiajun were supposed to be broken, really became a grave dug by the Dutch themselves. Let's go, I'll take you to see it. ”

Everyone came to the half-built bunker made by the Dutch, but saw a few large bamboo baskets that were still intact, broken bamboo shards all over the ground, crimson blood, and blackened explosion marks.

Zheng Yi stared at the prospect, turned back to look at the sea where the battleship was anchored, and said strangely: "The artillery on Yan Xuanfu's ship can't hit so far, right?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Zheng Haizhu had already covered his mouth and hurriedly avoided it.

Yan Siqi knew that she still vomited when she saw blood, so he hurriedly instructed his soldiers: "Lead Miss Zheng to rest in Mabel's tent." ”

Yang Tiansheng explained to Zheng Yi with great interest: "General Zheng, it was Miss Zheng's idea. When she saw us in Taiwan using bamboo baskets to fill earth and build fortifications, she came up with a plan. When we got to the island, we tricked the Dutch into doing the same kind of work. Because we were already cutting bamboo, we were able to bury hollow bamboo knots in the middle of the mud balls in the bamboo basket and stuff it with gravel. The black powder was afraid of moisture, and we did not have a gun in our hands, so the Dutch were relieved to let us carry the powder keg from the ship to the island. When Mabel wept to distract the sailors, we hid a barrel of gunpowder. A small part of the gunpowder was ground and soaked in water, soaked in the hemp rope we used to tie our clothes, dried and used as a lead, and the remaining gunpowder was poured into a bamboo pipe to be compacted with soil. Originally, in order to make it easier to move, bamboo balls would also be braided and threaded as handles, so the Dutch would not be suspicious of the lead. ”

Zheng Yi listened to his comparison here, and he already understood.

Yan Siqi's gunboats, after defeating the two remaining Dutch battleships with more bullying and less of them, inevitably encountered resistance from more than 100 musketeers from behind the fortifications when they landed.

However, when the musketeers fired their ammunition behind the breastwork of the pile of bamboo balls, they were bound to produce a dense stream of sparks that ignited the lead that Yang Tiansheng had made.

"Miss Zheng, at that moment, it was like a huge firecracker was lit in front of the bunker, and those Dutch villains who had beaten Ming for half a month were blown up and screamed."

In the tent, Mabel described it to Zheng Haizhu vividly.

Zheng Haizhu, who came slowly, quickly noticed that outside the tent adjacent to Mabel, there was a monk sitting with his eyes closed and chanting.
