Chapter 834: Occupy the Three Buddhas
Since the end of the heavens and the end of the country, the White Lotus Sect has long lost its former prestige, and being a submissive citizen and surviving for a long time is already their best destination. The leaders of various places have no power or money, and only rely on their former prestige, why should they teach their subordinates to abandon their lives, carry their heads, and still obey their orders to do this murderous business? Therefore, in fact, Fu Puxin used the excuse to go to sea, which was also a helpless move...... After all, if he still stays in Hangzhou, his white lotus will soon fall apart and disappear among the people.
Maybe some people really believe in the nonsense that "King Ming came to the world and became the lord of the world", but Geng Datou, who specializes in pretending to be gods and ghosts with deception and illusion to deceive others into the White Lotus Sect, must not have much devout belief in things like King Maitreya and the lifeless old mother.
Obedience to Fu Puxin is only out of blind obedience to the former masters, and a desire for the wealth and status that may be obtained. But when their lives are threatened, their minds naturally begin to waver......
After making people identify the two heads sent by Geng Datou and confirming that they were indeed Fu Puxin and Chen Zuyi, Li Jinglong also breathed a sigh of relief. At least these two great works that can slightly wash away their previous gaffes are already in hand.
Even if he fell a big stone in his heart, he also regained his usual composure and cunning, so he then tested Geng Datou and said: "Geng Er, if you take off the head of the second thief, it can be regarded as a lost way and atonement for your sins." ”
"Since you are willing to surrender to my Ming Dynasty, I will report your merits to the court impartially, so that the court can weigh and reward you...... How about the ships, men, and property of these bandits and pirates under your command who originally belonged to the bandits and pirates are still at your disposal for the time being? ”
Geng Datou was not an ignorant person, and immediately said when he heard this: "The sinners are guilty of sin, and the court has not yet explicitly forgiven them, how can sinners dare to lead an army by themselves?" ”
"These ships are all manned, and naturally they are all sent by you at will, sir."
As he spoke, his voice turned smaller, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hao knows that when Fu Puxin evacuated Da Belly Harbor, he took away several boxes of gold mines, gold sand and other things looted from Xiyi. ”
"Those things are also on the ship, and the criminals don't dare to dispose of them privately, it's all up to you, the general, to deal with the arrangements!"
Li Jinglong's heart disease is here, they have already found out about the gold, but these bandits may not know that he knows. If this Geng Er is unwilling to tell the matter of gold, it can show that this person must have two ambitions in his heart. But now that he has taken the initiative to say it, it can at least prove that he is indeed sincerely attached.
Li Jinglong, who laughed loudly, asked people to hold up Geng Datou, and then said: "Since you are so deferential, you will never let you end well." ”
"Don't worry, I will personally send someone to repay your merits, and truthfully report what happened to me His Royal Highness King Zhou, the commander of the Ming army, and the Duke of Dingguo."
"Thank you, General, thank you!" Geng Datou is very grateful. He naturally knows how different there is between the dry surrender and the surrender of someone who helps to talk about Xiang.
It's not that he didn't want to swallow that gold alone, but at this time, he can only use that gold to pave a way for himself to live......
……
Dawan Island, Big Belly Harbor.
Li Jinglong sent a clipper to report the results of the battle, and soon arrived here. Zhu Su and Tang He, who were stationed here, were able to learn the news that Chen Zuyi and Fu Puxin were beheaded due to internal strife.
"Okay, since the two thieves have been given the head, if you want to take the three Buddhas, it will be even more effortless." Tang He was relieved, and his white beard trembled with laughter. A new great achievement of opening up the territory is about to fall into his hands, and he can't help but be happy.
"But this Geng Er is from the White Lotus Sect after all, and if you stay with it, there may be trouble...... Your Highness thinks that what should be done? ”
This is deliberately taking the school Zhu Su. Zhu Su thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The White Lotus Sect is a hundred-legged insect, and it is not stiff when it dies. Today, in order to survive, Geng Er may really be sincerely attached. However, he has the ability to incite the believers, and perhaps when the day is stable, he will follow the example of Fu Puxin and his ilk, and raise the anti-flag again, which will cause trouble. ”
"Although it is difficult for these insects to become a big tool, if the east and the west keep coming, it is also annoying...... In my opinion, Geng Er can't be killed, since he has made a meritorious service, I have a dignified court, and I want to reward and punish clearly, so as not to chill others to submit to my Ming heart in the future. ”
However, it is also necessary to break his thoughts of returning to White Lotus in the future...... How about letting him stay under the command of Guogong and help Guogong clear the southeast White Lotus forces? ”
The southeast coast is densely populated. And because at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many white lotus uprisings in the south, and to this day, there are still many remnants of white lotus lurking. These can also be regarded as a priority for Tang He to guard the southeast.
This Geng Er is also a leader with a head and a face in the White Lotus Sect, the so-called "all the waters in the world are of the same origin, and the red flowers and green waters are one family", the White Lotus Sect hidden in the shadows actually has a certain secret method. If this Geng Er can use his "teacher" Dao method, as well as the various code words and incisions in the White Lotus Sect, to help Tang He clear the residual poison of the White Lotus, it will be a great good thing for the court and Tang He.
And in this way, Geng Er will be cut off from the White Lotus, and in the future, he will have no place in the remnants of the White Lotus, and he will no longer be harmful in the future.
"Hahahaha, Your Highness is really Zhibi Zhuge ...... The upper position really gave birth to a good son, good, good ......" Tang He laughed and praised repeatedly. Eliminate Fu Puxin and Chen Zuyi, there are no thieves in the East China Sea and South China Sea, and he, the Duke of Dingguo, who guards the southeast coast, naturally wants to find something for himself to do. Eliminating the White Lotus for the imperial court is another good way to accumulate military merits for the Dingguo Mansion.
However, this arrangement is just an idle chess, and the priority now is to hold Chen Zuyi's nest of the Three Buddhas in the hands of Daming. Under the command of Zhu Su and Tang He, the Daming Naval Division soon filled the left side of the Strait of Malacca, surrounding the remnants of Chen Zuyi's forces. Although Chen Zuyi's remaining cronies in the old nest still wanted to resist, but after being bombed by Chang Mao and Li Jinglong, who joined forces, the Nanyang pirates, who were leaderless and surrounded by mountains and chaotic commands, were soon defeated by the Ming army.
According to the practice of the imperial court, the soldiers in the army were allowed to take forty percent of the spoils of war won by going out on expeditions...... After finding the gold left by the Xiyi people, Li Jinglong, whose pockets were bulging, naturally became more unscrupulous with cannonballs.
Once he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years, now he can solve it with cannonballs, and he will resolutely not let the enemy ship come close to his fleet within a few feet.
The Ming army successfully attacked the Three Buddhas, after a search, and seized countless treasures and treasures hidden here by Chen Zuyi, under the instruction of Tang He and Zhu Su, Li Jinglong visited the "descendants of the royal family of the three Buddhas" exiled by Chen Zuyi, and reinstated him as the lord of the country, in order to show the righteousness of the kingdom of the great tomorrow. Of course, the Three Buddhas have been raging for Chen Zuyi for a long time, and there are still many remnants of Chen thieves in the country, and the new lord of the country has made a statement to the Ming Dynasty, striving to garrison the Three Buddhas in the Ming Dynasty to ensure public order, and many ports along the coast of the country are divided into the Ming Concession, so that the heavenly soldiers can block the pirates in the sea for the Three Buddhas, which is also the right thing.
