Wu Xiang and Qian Qianyi glanced at each other and nodded.

Wu Xiang said directly: "If this is the case, it will really be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

Previously, the old man had been worried that although he had an agreement with Li Zhaoji at the beginning, if he cooked Zheng Zhilong and aroused the suspicion of the five towns, wouldn't it cause the court and the towns to suspect each other and distrust each other. Now that Zheng Zhilong is making such a fuss, he can do this thing perfectly.

He Zheng Zhilong rebelled, but it was not good for everyone. It's not like the three of us exclude dissenters. ”

Shi Kefa nodded: "In this way, Zheng Zhilong's sin cannot be small. ”

The next thing is to go according to the script discussed by Wu Xiang and Qian Qianyi, and the three giants of the court shared the information that Zheng Zhilong might rebel with the five town lords, and then, one after another evidence appeared.

First of all, Zheng Zhilong asked himself to bring 600 personal soldiers into the court, just like the nobles of the five towns. If it had been proposed before, it would have been nothing, and if it had been proposed now, it would be purely a misneficial.

Immediately afterwards, Zhenjiang Zheng Hongkui applied to the Ministry of War to expand the army, and the Ministry of War agreed, Zheng Hongkui immediately asked for troops from Fujian, Zheng Zhilong also noticed that the situation in Nanjing was somewhat unstable, and felt that Zhenjiang was around Nanjing, and once something happened, he could attack Nanjing and block the Yangtze River when he retreated.

Coupled with Qian Qianyi's constant intimidation and hints in the open and secret, Zheng Zhilong felt even more uneasy, so after completing the procedures of the imperial court, on the one hand, he asked his henchman Shi Fu to select 600 personal soldiers to come to Nanjing by land, and on the other hand, he asked Zheng Cai to lead the sailors to transport 2,000 elites to Zhenjiang.

Under the arrangement of the three giants of the court, the two soldiers and horses arrived almost at the same time, which directly confirmed Zheng Zhilong's intention to invade Nanjing, kidnap the Son of Heaven, and rebel and stand on his own.

Garrison House.

"Everyone, the news of the interrogation of the juniors is here, and those people have been recruited." The young Zuo Mengeng put a thick pile of confessions in front of eight people, and the cinnabar text on the cover was like a line of blood, which was shocking.

In the first half of the night, Zuo Mengeng and Wu Xiang's department were more than 40 miles south of Nanjing, ambushed Zheng Zhilong's department from Fujian, Shi Fu and other Zheng family generals were captured, Zuo Mengeng interrogated overnight, and got everything he wanted, although Zheng Zhilong did not plan to rebel, but he was always worried that someone in Nanjing would mistreat him, so he secretly ordered Shi Fu and others to be vigilant, and prevent accidents.

These arrangements became evidence of the rebellion at this time.

"What about Zheng Zhilong, did you take it?" Liu Zeqing asked directly.

"That guy has come to Nanjing a long time ago, and he has been hiding for a long time and conspiring to make trouble. Not in this team at all. So the juniors hurried over to report the incident. Zuo Mengeng said.

Everyone turned their eyes to Shi Kefa, after all, everything in Nanjing was controlled by him, Shi Kefa smiled and said: "This official also had this guess, and felt that what Zheng Zhilong did in Nanjing was extremely bold, if it was controlled in Fujian, how could it be so smooth."

So he visited the city of Nanjing for a long time, but there was no result. Why, do you think? ”

"How do we know that our own soldiers will not even be allowed to enter Nanjing City." Gao Jie said with a grin.

Shi Kefa said: "That Zheng Zhilong is hiding in Meixianglou, but Meixianglou has some friendship with Mr. Qian's family. The original owner is Mrs. Qian's old friend. ”

Everyone glared angrily at Qian Qianyi, and Shi Kefa immediately said: "Everyone, don't get me wrong, Mr. Qian definitely doesn't know about this." From the discovery of the signs of Zheng Zhilong's rebellion, to tonight, Mr. Qian has always been confidential with Wen, if he and Zheng Zhilong are in the same party, two days ago ordered an ambush of Shi Fu, Zheng Zhilong will run away, but until today, Zheng Zhilong is still in Meixianglou.

The official has already sent someone to capture him. ”

Gao Jie was born a thief and had a short temper, so he stood up and said, "Lao Tzu can't control that, if you can't catch Zheng Zhilong, it must be you Qian Qianyi who will report the news." ”

Qian Qianyi said angrily: "Hmph, the old man is innocent, naturally someone will prove it." The old man not only will not shelter Zheng Zhilong, but also punish his henchmen. During this time, the old man also sent people to inspect and found that Zheng Zhilong had contacted a group of people in Nanjing ........ ”

Saying that, Qian Qianyi glared at Shi Kefa viciously, Shi Kefa had to associate Zheng Zhilong's residence in Meixianglou with himself, that is, he deliberately made the ministers doubt himself, since he was unkind, he was also unjust, so he walked to the table and took out some letters and a list.

The letter was written by Zheng Zhilong, which mentioned some officials and former ministers of Nanjing, all of whom were the political resources provided by Zheng Zhilong to Qian Qianyi when the two feudatories of Chu and Lu were fighting, and they were some of the people that Zheng Zhilong had befriended over the years.

Of course, there are a lot of people in this area, and those selected by Qian Qianyi are all related to Jiangfang and Jingying. After Shi Kefa became the first year of junior high school, Qian Qianyi directly did the fifteenth, taking the opportunity to knock out some of Shi Kefa's fellow party to prepare for the seizure of power in the future.

And this list was supposed to come out again after a while.

Although Shi Kefa knew that Qian Qianyi was taking the opportunity to make trouble, the evidence in front of him was conclusive, because the letter belonged to Zheng Zhilong, and the people he mentioned as good friends must be party henchmen.

As a result, the original action against Zheng Zhilong changed at this moment, and the entire city of Nanjing became a mess.

Arrest people, raid homes, and exterminate people.

Killing and death became the theme song in Nanjing, and Zheng Zhilong's rebellion case involved the six nobles of Nanjing and the three governors.

The only omission is that the plan that was supposed to send Wenwu Caojiang to intercept the fleet led by Zheng Cai on the Yangtze River was forced to be canceled, because Wenwu Caojiang was involved in Qian Qianyi's revenge, and the commander was involved in the rebellion, so the army was temporarily unusable.

All this led to a result that did not matter to the Lord and the Big Three, but was good news for Zheng Sen - Zheng Zhilong was not directly executed.

Qian Qianyi's revenge made this operation involve too many people, a large number of officials and ministers complained about grievances, and conspired to protect them, they did not want to protect Zheng Zhilong, but to protect those who were involved.

And after taking care of Zheng Zhilong, for Nanjing, the most important thing is to let Lu Jianguo ascend the throne, so Zheng Zhilong and others ended up with a result of being detained pending trial, and not killing Zheng Zhilong for the time being, it is also for Fujian to be peaceful, after all, Zheng Cai escaped, and he has a lot of influence in Fujian.

Chongming Island.

When the people in Chongming County got up in the morning, they found that the county town was full of soldiers, speaking Fujian accents, and on the riverside in the distance, there were hundreds of warships moored, all of which hung the Zhengzi flag.

Obviously, in order to protect himself, Zheng Zhilong not only sent 2,000 elite soldiers to Zheng Hongkui, but also sent a fleet of sailors in the name of sending troops, and the strength of this fleet itself is not bad.

In the main hall of the county government, the generals from Fujian sat on both sides, and Zheng Cai sat on the main seat with a sad face.

Not long after, an official of the Ministry of War arrived, looked around, squinted and asked, "Which is Zheng Cai, the deputy chief soldier of Fujian?" ”

"Open your dog's eyes and see who can sit there except General Zheng!" Someone scolded.

Judging from the reactions of these generals, they seem to have known that something is wrong, and this time they came to appease him, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth.

"General Zheng, where is Chongming County?" Lang Zhong asked.

Zheng Cai said lightly: "I want to ask you, where is the master of my family?" ”

Lang Zhong immediately said: "Zheng Zhilong conspired to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and he has been bound in Nanjing. ”

Zheng Cai laughed: "It's a joke, why did my family master do something treasonous?" ”

"For no reason, why did you send Fujian sailors into the Yangtze River?" Lang Zhong asked. Immediately afterwards, he said: "General Zheng, but you also participated, but in order to protect yourself, coerced the Fujian Navy to confront the imperial court?" ”

"Nonsense, Ben Jiang has never participated in the plot, my Fujian Zheng family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it is slandered by traitors." Zheng Cai said angrily.

Lang Zhong was about to speak, but was stopped by Zheng Cai: "Bring the Chongming County Order and hand it over to this adult." You take the county order back, although our department entered Chongming, but the autumn did not commit any crimes. My Zheng family is loyal to ....... Ming Dynasty. ”

Subsequently, Lang Zhong was driven out.

The generals looked at each other, and one of them, a little older, said, "General, the rebellion ........" ”

"Not really." Zheng Cai also felt wronged, but now it was yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants, saying that it was not but.

"Then why did the imperial court treat the chief soldier like this." Some people are puzzled.

Zheng Cai said: "There must be someone who is conspiring and calculating. Counting it, those who can do this must have Qian Qianyi, this traitor, who deceived the trust of the general soldiers. ”

"Now is not the time to discuss, the news I got is that the chief soldier has been detained in Nanjing pending trial, and the charge of rebellion may not be able to get off, what can we do, if we are beaten as a thief, how can it be good?" Someone said.

A young general shouted: "What are you afraid of, if the court is not benevolent, let's simply become pirates again and fight the court to be benevolent." ”

Zheng Cai scolded: "Fart, do you really want to rebel?" ”

This is no longer the era of Eighteen Zhi, the Fujian pirates of the year, now all have official positions, they all enjoy wealth and glory, glory and glory, who wants to be a displaced pirate again. Zheng Zhilong's rebellion may not affect everyone, Zheng Cai is not thinking about saving Zheng Zhilong, but saving himself.

Moreover, deep in his heart, this is also an opportunity, Zheng Zhilong is gone, Shi Fu is gone, maybe the power of the Zheng family in Fujian can finally fall into his own hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't explain this now. Jiangnan will soon be the place where the foundation is based, and if the imperial court comes again, it will inevitably be divided internally. Let's go back to Fujian immediately, and directly with the sailors and soldiers and horses in hand, the court will not dare to do anything to us. In the end, we don't want to rebel, but if the soldiers and horses are gone, don't we let others slander us? Zheng Cai said.

"Yes, yes, without soldiers, it's nothing. We are now the king's master, and we can't resist the imperial court, so we have to return to Fujian and think about it in the long run. This suggestion was echoed by many people.

Zheng Cai breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, these people are greedy for wealth and wealth, hoping to get rid of the name of rebellion and continue to enjoy wealth, but when they return to Fujian, is it really okay? Zheng Cai is at a loss in his heart!
