Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Eunuch, it's not good. Zheng Hongkui led people to raid our ambush outside the government office, and there is a fierce battle now," the little eunuch who followed him rushed in from the outside to report.

"What, send someone to tell the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, let him hold on, you go and send someone to notify those gentry and tyrants, send someone to rescue the Imperial Forest Army, I will go and tell the generals of Zheng Hongkui, let them start at this time." After finishing speaking, He strode out of the room and ran out, the little eunuch trotted to keep up.

When they ran out of the courtyard, the street was already in chaos. The peddlers packed up their things and fled in all directions. Fortunately, no soldiers were killing each other yet.

This does not mean that the battle has not started, and it has already started. Zheng Chenggong's people were the first to be attacked by the Qing army, but they are more cunning. They were originally local people, and after losing a small number of people, they quickly withdrew. In Quanzhou Prefecture, Shi Fu's people did not have the assistance of Zheng Hongkui's generals, so there was really no way to take Zheng Chenggong's people for a while.

The generals of Zheng Hongkui who they instigated rebellion were all arranged to attack those who were not instigated or who turned to the Longwu court.

As time went by, Zhang Liang found that the strength in his hands was gradually weakening, so he made a plan to let the remaining people under him pretend to be the Qing army who had been instigated to attack the other parts of the Qing army who were looking for them everywhere. soldiers.

So a melee was staged in Quanzhou Prefecture.

The Jinhua Rebel Army was also involved in this battle. Since Shi Fu regarded them as more powerful opponents than the Longwu court, Shi Fu led thousands of soldiers to chase after Zheng Hongkui's generals who fell to the Jinhua Rebel Army. Ma flocked to the barracks where the Jinhua Rebel Army was stationed in the city.

The entire street was bleeding, and several parties fought, causing chaos in Quanzhou Mansion, and the rebels took the opportunity to loot Quanzhou Mansion.

Zheng Hongkui had already torn face with his subordinates, and led people to chase and kill the rebellious subordinates. Many people fled, either to the Jinhua Rebel Army or to the Qing Army. Some smarter people escaped from the city gate and fled to Longwu Territory controlled by the imperial court.

Zhou Porridge sits in the military account of the garrison barracks in Jinhua Mansion. He has experienced a lot of such chaos. There are 40 to 6 people, the local population is 8 to 10, and there are 20 to [-] merchants. The rest are poor people living nearby, as well as soldiers and government servants. There were [-] people in the city, and nearly [-] Qing troops outside the city, and then the two sides fought melee, that chaos.

Ruan Jin didn't need him to say that he was originally a general of Lu Jianguo's one-sided Ming army. He had experienced many battles, big and small. The Qing army fought a few battles, and he cultivated a mentality of superiority over the Qing army that was different from that on the side of Lu Jianguo.

Therefore, after accepting several surrendered generals of Zheng Hongkui's department and their defeated soldiers, the barracks began to close, and the sea squadron climbed up the wall of the barracks and attacked the enemy with matchlock guns, knives, axes, bows and arrows.

Shi Fu is also a veteran. Zheng Hongkui's soldiers under his command attacked twice, but they were defeated and returned, leaving hundreds of seriously injured and dead bodies outside the wall.

"Go and tell Zheng Hongkui that if you want to do it, you will do it. Anyway, you have already turned against the Jinhua Rebels, so why don't you try harder," Shi Fu said to his subordinates instead of attacking the Jinhua Rebels.

"My lord, Zheng Hongkui is in a bad mood now. Whoever is caught will be killed. We have ruined the foundation he worked so hard on. The generals we sent to help him attack those gentry and powerful soldiers were beheaded by him as soon as they met. All the general's soldiers were killed by him." The subordinate said.

"Is he crazy?" Schiff asked.

"I heard that he met Zhang Liang, the eunuch of the Longwu court on the road, and Zhang Liang said something, and then he suddenly roared to the sky for some reason, and slashed his soldiers around like crazy. After that, we sent No one can get close to him."

Subordinate.

Shi Fu stroked his chin, "This Zhang Liang is a capable eunuch, and in such a crisis situation, he can still make a comeback, let's go, it seems that the Jinhua Rebels don't want to make trouble, let's deal with Zheng Hongkui and that Zhang Liang first, and wait for Ma Degong Your Excellency’s Qing army has come to Quanzhou, and we will fight to the death with the Jinhua rebels, depending on the situation, no one in the Jinhua rebels can make a decision, so we have to send someone back to ask their governor.”

Chapter 251 Zheng Hongkui's Dangerous Situation Tightens the Noose

In the cabin, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai sat facing each other. The boat was only two meters five and six meters wide, and the boat was indeed swaying with a length of more than ten meters. Low and wobbly.

A voice reported loudly, "According to the information from the day before yesterday, the Qing army sent Shi Fu and a group of eunuchs to infiltrate Quanzhou Mansion in an attempt to instigate Zheng Hongkui. The others learned that Zheng Hongkui had turned against each other. In order to avoid being killed, our personnel retreated quickly. Most of the personnel had retreated to the site of the Jinhua Rebel Army outside the city of Quanzhou, but there were still a small number of personnel staying there. The situation is unclear now."

Zheng Tai said: "My lord, are you really going to save Zheng Hongkui? If he behaves like this, the imperial court will probably be unhappy, and the Jinhua Rebel Army will probably also be unhappy."

Zheng Chenggong sighed helplessly, "In any case, he is my father's former brother. He has taken care of and helped us before. Although we have many disagreements in the Longwu court, I can't watch him perish. I have to go there. It’s easy to explain. As for whether he can be saved, it depends on his luck.”

Hulala——A gust of wind came, and the whole hull swayed even more, as if people were about to fall to the side, and the boat was about to capsize. As soon as the balance of the body was corrected, the boat tilted sharply to the other side, and the whole person Immediately, he lost his balance and could only get down on the ground.

A big wave hit, and there was the sound of ticking water above the head. The big wave on board almost swept across the entire hull, sweeping the sailors on it to pieces. These sailors had been living at sea all year round and had rich experience. The surprises were cleverly avoided in advance, so no one fell into the water.

Above the swaying mast, a sailor lashes himself to the mast, watching the sea in the night of heavy waves.

"There is a ship in the southwest of the bow. The type of the ship is unknown. Be vigilant." The sailor shouted at the deck of the ship more than ten meters below.

"There is a ship in the southwest of the bow. The type of the ship is unknown. Be vigilant." The sailor below who was adjusting the soft sail of the sailboat quickly conveyed his words.

"There is a ship in the southwest of the bow. The type of the ship is unknown. All personnel are ready to fight," the captain at the bow shouted.

Zheng Tai looked up at the top deck of the ship, and said to Zheng Chenggong: "My lord, it seems that Zheng Hongkui's place is in danger, and we still have a day to reach Quanzhou Mansion."

Zhou Quanbin next to him said: "Is it useful for us to go? Just the few of us, if Zheng Hongkui has evil intentions, arrests us, and sacrifices us to the Tartars, won't we be thrown into the net?"

It seemed to Zheng Tai that he didn't speak at all.

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand indifferently, "Of course I won't go alone. General Xiao Fei is in Fuzhou. Let him accompany us when the time comes. I heard that the Jinhua Rebel Army has newly reorganized troops, and the reorganized troops are all elites. Xiao Fei led With such an elite army, together with the troops he led before, there are at least 1 troops. There is also Counselor Zhou Porridge who has been stationed near Quanzhou Prefecture. He has 2 people under him. The soldiers of the Zhishui Division, a reorganized Jinhua Rebel Army unit that is as elite as General Xiao Fei, I think Governor Zhang will not let us take risks easily, we are his most important allies, so he will definitely lend us troops .”

Zhou Quanbin frowned in displeasure when he heard this, "My lord, the Jinhua Rebel Army is too powerful, we have to be prepared. I heard that General Yu Xing and General Liu Guoxuan walked very close to him, and General Huang Yan was also friendly with them. In cooperation with them, they borrowed a lot of people from our emigration to plant land and open up wasteland for them. If this continues, we will be eaten by the Jinhua rebels sooner or later. People have no intention of hurting tigers, but we must beware of tigers breaking out in the wild and hurting people—— "

Zheng Chenggong lowered his head and pondered, looked at Gan Hui looking at the top of the deck, and turned his head slightly, "Gan Hui, what do you think?"

Gan Hui immediately said, "I'll kill whoever my lord tells me to kill, and I'll beat whoever my lord beats."

Zhou Quanbin nodded, Zheng Tai did not speak, his eyes swept over the few people in the dim cabin, Zheng Chenggong was the one who paid the most attention.

Zheng Chenggong did not comment on Gan Hui's words, but continued to bow his head in thought.

"It's our ship, prepare to approach, bring up the gangplank." A voice shouted overhead, mixed with the sound of howling sea wind.

The wind became tighter, and the three men sent by Zheng Chenggong to lobby Zheng Hongkui were drenched, like drowned chickens. When they climbed into the boat, the leader knelt down in front of Zheng Chenggong and others who came out to greet him, "My lord, a lowly position is a shameful mission. He didn’t persuade Mr. Zheng to join us, instead he lost his army and fled back in embarrassment, please be punished by the lord.”

Zheng Chenggong helped him up, "You have done a good job, tell me about the situation in Quanzhou Prefecture in detail."

"Yes, my lord."

In the dark night, Wei Wuji stood on his horse, looking at the burning city of Quanzhou Prefecture, with nearly [-] soldiers by his side.

Listening to the messenger sent by Zhou Porridge telling the situation in the city.

"You mean, Zheng Hongkui first killed his generals, then stormed our barracks, and then they fought with another group of people, and now the city of Quanzhou is out of control?" he asked.

"It's Lord Admiral." The messenger replied.

Wei Wuji turned to Xiao Fei who was beside him and said, "You lead two field brigades, the [-]th and [-]th brigades to attack Zhangzhou Prefecture, and I will lead the [-]st and [-]nd Brigades, as well as the troops directly under the brigade headquarters to deal with Quanzhou Prefecture."

Xiao Fei clasped his hands and said, "It's Lord Admiral."

He is a chief soldier, and the newly promoted chief soldier, of course, has to listen to the words of Wei Wuji, the chairman of the joint council of admirals who has been promoted to a high position.

"What about Fuzhou?" he asked.

"Fuzhou and Quanzhou are under the management of Ruan Jin, and Zhou is the counselor for the civil affairs of the prime minister and the military affairs counselor. These are the words of the adults."

"Yes, my subordinates will execute it now." Xiao Fei turned his horse's head, and brought a brigade of troops he brought with him, as well as the former Jinhua Rebel Army troops. Soldiers, as well as some newly transferred militia soldiers, guard the place, and it is still possible to guard the place.

Zhang Qiang plans to keep all the troops eliminated from the original Jinhua Rebel Army in the newly conquered places to serve as garrison troops. Perhaps these garrison troops are more powerful than the garrison troops in the core areas of the Jinhua Rebel Army that have been reorganized and supplemented several times. The equipment should be inferior, mainly cold weapons, but they are used to suppress the squires and tyrants who rebelled in the newly conquered places, and even against the green camp of the Qing army, the Han army flag has the power to fight.

Because they are the main force of the Jinhua Rebel Army who have experienced war.

In this way, the Jinhua Rebel Army tightened the noose to destroy Zheng Hongkui's troops step by step. Now it's time to reap the enemy's life. Originally, Zhang Qiang thought that if Zheng Hongkui did not fall to the Qing army, he could still look at Longwu's face Zheng Hongkui was allowed to exist for a period of time, but since the Qing army can't wait to do things on the territory he wants, and eventually wants to destroy the Longwu court, or if the main target is the Jinhua rebels, then Zhang Qiang can't hold back .

The strength of the Qing army in this area was weak, and they were completely in a situation where the rats were on the streets and everyone was shouting and beating them, so they still wanted to come to court for death, so Zhang Qiang would not be polite.
