After the defeat of Jiujiang, Zheng Sen's 30,000 troops were defeated by Liu Neng's design, and Zheng Sen's subordinates were lost, knowing that they would no longer have any future when they returned to the army of Plug Yinxi. A general who has lost his subordinates, and the only thing waiting for him is the court to ask for guilt.

Therefore, he decisively fled from Jiujiang with Chen Hui and the remaining 20 or so henchmen, and then fled back to Fujian.

The Zheng family originated on the sea, and Fujian is his own nest, Zheng Sen knows that if he wants to revive the Zheng family, he can only return to Fujian and Quanzhou.

However, at this time in Quanzhou, the Zheng family's power had been swept away by the rebels and Wang Yin's sailors. Anping was captured, and all the wealth accumulated by the Zheng family over the years fell into the hands of the rebels. Although his uncle Zheng Zhibao and other family members fled to the sea, they were persuaded by Wang Yin to surrender Shi Lang, Liang Li and other generals, and took away Jinxia, and the Zheng family's power on the sea fell into Wang Yin's hands.

Therefore, even if he returned to Fujian, Zheng Sen was shocked to find that it was almost impossible for him to make a comeback.

Wang Yin is sitting in Quanzhou, and is reorganizing the original Zheng Jiajun, there is a strong Ming army and naval deterrence at sea, where is anyone willing to choose to follow Zheng Sen?

However, just when Zheng Sen was desperate, Wang Yin was ordered to take the main fleet north and go to Hangzhou to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, which gave Zheng Sen a golden opportunity.

Over the past few days, the details of the rebels have gradually spread, and in Fujian, there are a large number of wealthy gentlemen who have been broken by the rebels. At first, these people thought that the imperial court could give them the masters. Who knew that Wang Yin led his troops to recover Fuzhou and Quanzhou, but did not mention the return of the family property of the gentry. Thinking about the relationship between the rebels and Chen Yue Wang Yin, the gentry in Fujian suddenly despaired.

So, Zheng Sen took the opportunity to send people to persuade him, and easily persuaded some people. The gentry were originally inextricably linked with the Zheng family, and the Zheng family dominated Fujian for more than ten years, and the power accumulated secretly was still very strong.

Zheng Zhilong died, and Zheng Zhibao and other Zheng family cores were arrested, but the Zheng family is a big family in Quanzhou, and there are many side children. And now Zheng Sen is the rightful heir of the Zheng family, so after Zheng Sen appeared, he quickly received the support of many Zheng family children and families close to the Zheng family.

After mastering a certain amount of strength, Zheng Sen suddenly attacked, and with the help of Gan Hui, who was persuaded to surrender, he captured Nanao Island, which was adjacent to Zhangzhou. The reason why Nanao is in trouble now is because although Wang Yin left, he left a certain amount of power to monitor Jinxia Quanzhou, plus Shi Lang, Liang Li and other generals who betrayed the Zheng family all ascended to high positions and closely monitored the power of the Zheng family, Zheng Sen did not dare to take the risk of raising trouble in Quanzhou.

Nanao Island is more than 100 square kilometers, and tens of thousands of people on the island heard that Zheng Sen had done something, and the gentry who were full of grievances came to vote one after another, and soon gathered more than 5,000 troops and more than 100 warships.

Liang Li, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou, learned of Zheng Sen's move and hurriedly brought his troops to encircle and suppress him. But in the ocean of Dongshan Island, he was defeated by the fleet commanded by Zheng Sen.

Most of Liang Li's subordinates were from the Zheng family, and many officers followed Zheng Zhilong as pirates, and they refused to fight the young master of the Zheng family at all. Cowering in battle, the soldiers did not work hard, and naturally they were not the opponents of Zheng Sen's subordinates, who shared the same hatred.

Seeing the defeat, Liang Li hurriedly escaped by boat, but was caught up by Zheng Sen's ship and fixed the two boats together with flying claws. After a broadside battle, most of Liang Li's men surrendered, and Liang Li was also captured alive!

Zheng Sen won a great victory on Nanao Island, and the maritime heroes in the area of Chaozhou and Zhangzhou came to vote one after another, and together with the captured Liang Li's subordinates, Zheng Sen's army soon grew to more than 10,000 people.

Although Zheng Sen killed Liang Li's sacrificial banner, he led the army to attack Zhangzhou Mansion. Liang Li, the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou, was killed, and there was no longer a force to match Zheng Sen in Zhangzhou, and Zheng Sen led his army to easily attack Zhangzhou.

News of Zheng Sen's rebellion soon reached Fuzhou, and Wang Yin went north, and the highest official who remained in Fujian was Lü Tai, who was in charge of the entire Fujian army in the name of the Fujian General Army.

However, Wang Yin led the main force north, and the real descendant army in Lu Tai's hands was only about 10,000 people, and the rest were Shi Lang and other surrendered troops. Hearing that Zheng Sen had made a rebellion and captured Zhangzhou, Lü Tai did not dare to slack off, and sent a letter to the deputy general in Yanping Mansion, ordering him to take 3,000 troops from Yanping Mansion to the south and attack Zhangzhou by land. At the same time, Lü Tai sent an order to Shi Lang in Quanzhou, ordering him to be on guard to prevent Zheng Sen's rebels from attacking Quanzhou from the sea.

Although Lü Tai only sent 3,000 troops, these 3,000 people were all elite divisions, and they were not afraid of the rebels at all in land battles.

Hearing that the Ming army was attacking from the north by land, Zheng Sen did not fight at all, and ordered a robbery in Zhangzhou, and evacuated the capital city of Zhangzhou by boat with the looted food and property, leaving only an empty city to the Ming army.

With a large amount of looted materials, Zheng Sen's strength expanded rapidly. He originally wanted to go back to Nanao Island to repair it, take the opportunity to reorganize the army, and Chen Yonghua, a boy from Zhangzhou who defected to him, offered advice, saying that he should not return to Nanao at this time, but should capture Jinxia in one go.

Chen Yonghua is a native of Longxi, Zhangzhou, and his father Chen Ding is a lifter. When the rebels captured Fujian, the Chen family did not escape the catastrophe of the rebels, and when Chen Ding and his family resisted, they were killed by the rebels. Therefore, Chen Yonghua hated the rebels and the people behind the rebels. Zheng Zhilong led the army into Zhangzhou, and Chen Yonghua, who was only 15 years old, took the initiative to join Zheng Sen's army. Although Chen Yonghua is young, he has already passed the county examination, as long as he passes the hospital examination, he can get the fame of showing talent, although he is young, he is very talented in his youth.

"Major General, Inspector Wang Yin led the main naval division to the north, and now Fujian's troops are extremely empty, and it is a good time to pass through Jinxia. Major General, you are the son of Nan'an Hou, Kinmen Xiamen is the Zheng family's hometown, and Nan'an Hou's concubines have a large number of henchmen. As long as the Major General leads your troops to Jinxia, there will definitely be a lot of people who will respond enthusiastically, and it will be easy to capture Jinxia. And if we wait until Wang Yin hears the letter and returns with the sailor, it will be difficult for us to build Jinxia again. Chen Yonghua persuaded.

Zheng Sen thought about it carefully and thought deeply: "If it weren't for your reminder, Sen would have almost lost a great opportunity. Yonghua, you will serve as a member of our army. ”

As a result, fifteen-year-old Chen Yonghua won Zheng Sen's trust and was entrusted with the important post of joining the army!

Immediately, Zheng Sen ordered the whole army to go north by boat, and he wanted to capture Jinxia.

In the face of Zheng Sen's army, which was attacking vigorously, Shi Lang, the general soldier of Quanzhou, was like a great enemy. While sending people to Fuzhou to deliver letters, he also dispatched troops to actively prepare for war.

Although Shi Lang had more than 8,000 troops and more than 100 warships, he knew that most of the troops under his command were the original Fujian soldiers, most of whom were from Zheng Zhilong's subordinates.

Therefore, although the troops in his hands were not weak, Shi Lang did not dare to attack at all, but chose to stick to Jinxia.

Zheng Sen led more than 10,000 troops to the sea, and the first to attack was Kinmen Island.

In the sea of Liuluo Bay, Zheng Sendu led the army and the Ming army led by Shi Lang launched a fierce battle. Hundreds of warships scuffled together, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

And as Chen Yonghua expected, although Zheng Zhilong is dead, Yu Wei is still there. Looking at the big flag with the word "Zheng" fluttering in the sky above Zheng Sen's fleet, many officers and soldiers under Shi Lang were in a very complicated mood. In the past ten years, under this banner, they have crisscrossed the four seas, from the north to the south of the Wa Kingdom, whether it is the Wa people, the Xiyi and the natives of the South Seas, no one dares to disagree!

And now, his own family is in the same room, looking at the flag fluttering not far away, and the young general under the banner, that is the sister-in-law of Nan'anhou, the young master of the Zheng family!

"Damn, what are you fighting with your own family?" Qianhu Zhou Quanbin roared angrily and ordered the ships to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Shi Lang's dog thief betrayed Nan'anhou for the sake of glory and wealth, and went to lick the ditch of the northerners, we didn't get any benefit, why did we work for him!" On a three-masted ship, the owner of the ship, Chen Kui, also said, commanded his subordinates to raise the white flag and withdraw towards the periphery of the battlefield.

Seeing his warships retreating one after another, Shi Lang trembled in shock. The fleet under his command was originally not as large as Zheng Sen, and now many people choose to flee from the battlefield, how can they still hold on!

"Chief soldier, what should we do?" The henchman's subordinate generals shouted.

"Withdraw!" Shi Lang let out a long sigh and ordered. In this case, Kinmen Island can no longer be defended, and if it continues to fight, there is only one way for the entire army to be wiped out.

Shi Lang took more than a dozen ships to rush out of the interception of the Zheng family's fleet, and fled straight to Xiamen, which still had 3,000 troops left, and was close to the mainland, which was more suitable for defense than Kinmen Island in the lonely sea.

Zheng Sen sent Chen Hui, Gan Hui, Zeng De and others to chase the ships in close pursuit and chased them straight to Xiamen. He led some ships to land on Kinmen Island, and at the same time sent people to appease Shi Lang's Zhou Quanbin, Chen Kui and other troops.

Let's talk about Shi Lang first, and fled towards Xiamen with the only remaining dozen or so warships. Kinmen and Xiamen are only more than 20 miles away, and they soon arrived in Xiamen. Shi Lang was defeated in the naval battle, knowing that it was impossible to defeat Zheng Sen by water battle, and the only thing he could do now was to abandon the ship on the island and rely on the island's defenses to defend it.

And there is another reason why Shi Lang chose to defend Xiamen, that is, the Zheng family's family, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Xi, and even Zheng Sen's wife are all locked up in Xiamen, as long as there is the Zheng family as a hostage, Shi Lang expects that Zheng Sen will not dare to attack Xiamen!

"As long as you return to Xiamen, immediately pull Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen's mother, wife and children to the dock, I don't think Zheng Sen will dare to attack!" Shi Lang sneered at his subordinates.

The fleet quickly fled back to Xiamen, and when Shi Lang ordered to abandon the ship and go ashore, he saw the guards around him pointing at the island in horror: "Look, chief soldier!" ”

Shi Lang hurriedly looked over and saw a puff of black smoke rising from the island, soaring into the sky!

Xiamen is changing! Shi Lang felt a sound in his head, and his body couldn't help shaking.

"What should we do, chief soldier?" The subordinate asked in panic.

Shi Lang settled down and ordered: "Send a few people to the island to see what is happening, and order all the ships to prepare for battle and stop the pursuing rebels!" ”

Since he arrived in Xiamen, Shi Lang still had hope for threatening Zheng Sen with Zheng Sen's family, so he did not order to continue to escape. But he was worried that the situation on the island was uncontrollable, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape after abandoning the ship, so Shi Lang did not dare to flee to the island. Then, the only way to do this is to resist the pursuing ship first and send someone to see what is happening on the island, if the Zheng family is still in their own hands, then there is still room for redemption.

The ships that could escape back with Shi Lang were naturally his henchmen, and with Shi Lang's order, the ships turned around, and the artillery began to shell the pursuing ships. The two sides fought together again in the sea of Xiamen.

While directing his ships to engage with the pursuers, Shi Lang waited for news from Xiamen Island. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before he saw his men who had come ashore running and fleeing.

"General soldier, it's over, it's all over!" His subordinates got on Shi Lang's big boat from the small boat and shouted breathlessly.

Shi Lang's body shook twice, and grabbed the placket of his subordinates: "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly!" ”

The subordinates cried and mourned: "General soldier, there is a rebellion on the island, the stockade is now completely occupied by the rebels, and the subordinates have not yet approached the gate of the village, they were shot back by the arrows on the wall, if it wasn't for the subordinates running fast, they might have been shot to death." ”

"How is it possible, the general on the island is my uncle, how could he betray me!" Shi Lang roared angrily, not wanting to believe it at all. Because the general he stayed in Xiamen was his uncle Shi Tianfu!

"General Shi, I saw General Shi and he was on the wall!" The way of the subordinates.

Shi Lang's face suddenly turned pale, he couldn't believe that his clan uncle had betrayed him!

"Break through, immediately break through to Fuzhou!" Reluctantly settled down, Shi Lang hurriedly issued an order, but fortunately he did not choose to abandon the boat and go to the island!

With Shi Lang's order, the remaining dozen or so ships immediately left the battlefield and fled towards the ocean to the northeast. Zheng Sen's ships fought to catch up, but it was very difficult to catch up with the fleeing ships on the wide and boundless sea.

On Kinmen Island, Zheng Sen knelt in front of Zheng Zhilong's tomb, caressing Zheng Zhilong's tombstone, tears rolling down his cheeks.

The father who dominated the world in Fujian will never be seen again, and some are just cold tombstones in front of him.

Three years ago, Zheng Sen was studying in Nanjing Guozijian, and by chance he participated in the battle outside Nanjing and Manchuria, and since then he has embarked on a career in office.

In the past three years, he led his troops to Huguang, Jiangxi, and fought countless battles with Manchurian and Western thieves, traveling thousands of miles, but he did not have the opportunity to return to Fujian to visit his parents, wife and children. I didn't expect this goodbye to be forever, and I would never see my father again!

Stroking the tombstone, Zheng Sen finally cried bitterly, crying with tears and gall!

"Father, father, the son is back! I'll never see you again.

Father, son knows that you died unjustly, although you died at the hands of the rebels, but the real murderer is someone else!

You can rest assured that your son will definitely avenge you and let the real murderer pay for your life. Even if he is in a high position of power!

What country surname is the master, what the governor is the general soldier, the son doesn't want it, the son just needs to avenge the countless fathers and elders in Fujian who died in vain!

Fuck the loyal minister, the world is not kind, the son will no longer be a loyal minister, as long as he can avenge you and his father and fellow villagers, what does it matter if the son becomes a pirate! ”
