Wang Xinyu knew in his heart that Chen Python's coming to Hangzhou meant that Zheng Jing's matter had been exposed! Perhaps at this time, Zheng Chenggong already knew about Zheng Xi and Zheng Jing's infighting.

"I need to hurry to Hangzhou! Maybe King Yanping is dying! Wang Xinyu said to himself in his heart. Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, but he was still seriously ill like in real history, because Yongli survived, and Zheng Jing's matter was temporarily detained by himself and not reported, Zheng Chenggong lived five months longer than in real history, but now it seems that it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive again.

The soldiers had just reported Chen Python's visit to Hangzhou to Wang Xinyu, and the messenger sent by Zheng Chenggong had also arrived, asking Wang Xinyu to rush to Hangzhou immediately and go to the palace of Yanping County, Hangzhou.

"King Yanping must be more than lucky!" Wang Xinyu explained the construction of cities in Suzhou and Songjiang to Li Rui, Luo Xiang, Zhang Yukun, Zhang Wei and others, and he was ready to leave for Hangzhou by boat immediately.

"Maybe I won't be able to go back to Jiangnan for three months or a year! The defense of Jiangnan here is handed over to you! Wang Xinyu gathered his cronies Li Rui and others, "We built a large number of castles in the south of the Yangtze River, just because the combat effectiveness of the newly surrendered green battalion soldiers is too poor, and the field battle cannot defeat the Tartars at all, so we can only hold on to the city." But the defense of the city is passive, and our forces are completely shrunk in the city, which is equivalent to giving the initiative to the Tartars! Luckily, I still have a few of your river divisions who can maneuver! If the Tartars counterattack Jiangnan, you will use the advantages of the sailors to link the various cities together, and you can fight in a mobile manner, attack and harass the Tartars, and also transport grain and grass materials for each city! ”

After all, the green battalions stationed in various cities have too poor field combat capabilities, and the morale of those people is not high, and the morale of those people is not stable. Cut off from food and grass, it is difficult to say whether these surrendered troops will surrender to the Qing court again. Leave their own people to suppress them, and then use the sailors to transport grain and grass to maintain the stability of the army, and they will not surrender to the Qing court again.

Those miscellaneous troops of the green battalion who surrendered not long ago, to be honest, Wang Xinyu didn't look down on them at all, what he needed was the elite soldiers he had trained. But at present, the situation is critical, and there is a shortage of manpower, so these people can only use it first. waited until the Zheng Jiajun infighting was dealt with and Hong Chengchou was resolved. Go back and transfer these soldiers to the rear as reserves, and transfer your own elite soldiers.

"Please rest assured! With me Zhang Yukun here, Tatar doesn't want to get a little cheap in Jiangnan! Zhang Yukun arched his hand. At this time, Wang Xinyu's generals had already changed their names to Dashuai.

"Good! General Ben believes in you! Wang Xinyu believes in Zhang Yukun's ability, and even more believes that his inland river warships are not vegetarians. Zheng Chenggong was seriously ill, and Zheng Cong's sailors were basically under the command of Wang Xinyu, and the Zheng Jiajun Sailors who were currently in Jiangnan actually became Wang Xinyu's army. As for the Zhejiang army, not to mention, Zhang Huangyan's sailor was originally developed with the help of Wang Xinyu, and Zhang Huangyan also trusted Wang Xinyu. Leave all the sailors to him to take care of. The inland water divisions of the Qiongzhou Army, the Fujian Army, and the Zhejiang Army combined had more than 50 shallow-water gunboats, thousands of small boats of various kinds, and thousands of large and small artillery pieces of the naval divisions. There are also ship-borne rockets that specialize in attacking on the other side, and the Qing army is not easy to deal with this inland water division.

"Great handsome, if the Tartars are fierce. We can't cope, how can we cope? Li Rui asked.

Wang Xinyu said: "I will leave Mr. Wang behind, just listen to him." ”

There are military advisors like Wang Yuyou. The Qing army wanted to break through Jiangnan, but there was really nothing they could do. Unless the Qing court transferred Yao Qisheng over, only Yao Qisheng was Wang Yuyou's opponent. But at this time, Yao Qisheng was demoted to farming because he offended the Qing court, and it seemed that he would have to go to Xiangshan next year to take office as a small county magistrate.

After explaining everything, Wang Xinyu took his own soldiers and went to Hangzhou by boat.

The ship sailed for a day and a night, arrived at the city of Hangzhou, and entered the city through the Wulin Gate Water Gate.

In the former Qing court Hangzhou governor's mansion, which has been changed to the palace of Yanping County of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was lying on the sickbed and couldn't stop coughing.

"Why hasn't Yu'er come yet?" Zheng Chenggong struggled to sit up.

"Big brother, lie down!" Zheng Xingying hurriedly supported Zheng Chenggong, "I have already sent a messenger to Suzhou two days ago, and Yu'er should be able to arrive in Hangzhou soon." ”

Zheng Cong held his father with tears: "Father, you're fine!" You're going to get better! ”

"Cong'er, for the sake of your father's own body, you don't need to comfort this king! I, Zheng Sen, have been at war with the Tartars for twenty years, but I didn't expect to follow the first emperor (Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu) today! Now that the Northern Expedition has not yet succeeded, my great rivers and mountains are still in the hands of the Tartars, and when I Zheng Sen sees the first emperor, I am really shameless to face! Zheng Chenggong left two lines of tears.

At this time, someone outside came to report: "Report to the prince, General Wang has arrived!" ”

"Quick! Hurry up and let him in! Zheng Chenggong's eyes, which were already dark, suddenly lit up, shooting out two rays of light.

Wang Xinyu walked into the house and saw Zheng Chenggong, who was strong and fair-faced, and was now skinny, with sunken cheeks, protruding cheekbones, and a dark face. My nephew is not filial! ”

"Virtuous nephew! You're finally here! Zheng Chenggong stretched out his hand and took Wang Xinyu's hand.

"Uncle and nephew were worried that the Tartars might counterattack at any time, and after the Battle of Lin'an, they went to various places to build cities and arrange sailors. Recently, late rice has also matured, and people are arranging for autumn harvest. Wang Xinyu replied crying.

"Virtuous nephew, the boy bleeds without tears! Don't cry! Zheng Chenggong took Wang Xinyu's hand and said, "People will be born, old, sick and die, and your uncle will go down to see the first emperor!" Back then, it was my father Zheng Sen who did something sorry for the first emperor and put the Tartars into Fujian, which killed the first emperor! Now it's okay, Lone is going down to accompany the first emperor! ”

"Uncle! You'll be fine! Wang Xinyu felt that his heart was about to break. To be honest, without Zheng Chenggong, there would be no Wang Xinyu today. It is precisely because Zheng Chenggong has always trusted himself that he not only married his niece, who was regarded as a daughter, to him, but also let him develop on his own, and spared no effort to provide weapons and manpower.

Although some historical materials in later generations said that Zheng Chenggong was narrow-minded, only considered his own interests, and missed the opportunity to be a teacher with Li Ding, which led to the great situation of Nanming in vain, this cannot be completely blamed on Zheng Chenggong, it can only be said that the situation was too complicated back then. Zheng Chenggong was originally loyal to Emperor Longwu, although he also agreed with Yongli, but he was not loyal to Yongli, coupled with the power of King Lu supported by the gentry in Jiangnan, Zheng Chenggong was also involuntary in some things.

"Silly boy, people always have to die! Seeing that Yu'er has grown up, and there is hope for the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, Lone can also go with peace of mind! Tears flowed from Zheng Chenggong's dry eyes, "Now the situation in the Northern Expedition is very good, but my uncle's son is not angry." But he didn't listen to the king's orders, and even killed the heroes and provoked internal strife! This son is unforgivable! If he falls into the hands of the virtuous nephew, I hope that the virtuous nephew will not let him go, and he must kill his relatives in righteousness! ”

"Uncle! After all, Shizi is your nephew's brother-in-law, and he is your own son! Wang Xinyu said with tears in his eyes.

"That rebel animal is no longer a lonely son! It's not the son of the world! Cong'er is the son of the world! Zheng Chenggong shouted angrily. It may be because I was too angry, and I suddenly coughed and couldn't breathe.

"Lord Wang!" Zhang Huangyan shouted anxiously.

"Father!" Zheng Cong stepped forward and cried.

"Big brother!" Zheng Xingying came forward crying and supported Zheng Chenggong. Gently patted him on the back.

Zheng Chenggong finally relieved, he looked around, and said to the people around him: "There is something important to explain, Cong'er and Yu'er stay." Let's go out first! ”

Everyone retreated, leaving only Zheng Cong and Wang Xinyu in the house.

Zheng Chenggong said to Zheng Cong at this time: "Cong'er, your brother-in-law is the hope of Zhongxing Daming!" After the Father's departure, let him assist you! Cong'er, you have to remember. Your grandfather was killed by the Tartars! Although he was to blame, betrayed the country for glory, and betrayed the first emperor. But the Tartars still crossed the river and demolished the bridge and killed your grandfather! The Tartars are insidious and cunning, and they have harmed countless Han people! This revenge must be avenged! From now on, you will listen to your brother-in-law! ”

"The teachings of the father and the king are remembered by the children!" Zheng Cong said with tears in his eyes.

Zheng Chenggong said again: "My father has asked His Majesty for a decree, abolish your eldest brother's son, and make you the son!" You must manage my Zheng family army well, and in the future, you will be counting on you for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the recapture of the capital! ”

"Please rest assured! The child will definitely personally lead the troops to the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains! Recover my Ming Dynasty! Zheng Cong said loudly.

"Remember, your brother-in-law has a great talent, and he is loyal to our Zheng family, after his father is gone, he is your eldest brother and your teacher!" Zheng Chenggong explained earnestly.

"The child understands!" Zheng Cong nodded with tears in his eyes.

"I, Zheng Sen, have the surname of the country, and my name is Zhu Chenggong, which is a gift from the first emperor! Our Zheng family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty! After your father is gone, you must not have two hearts for the court! Although the first emperor has taken the lead, but now that the Yongli Emperor is orthodox, you must swear allegiance to the Ming court! When Zheng Chenggong said this to Zheng Cong, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Xinyu again, as if this was not only explained to Zheng Cong, but also to Wang Xinyu.

"The child must be loyal to Daming! If you have a disobedient heart, you will be punished! Zheng Cong swore an oath.

Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly, and said to Zheng Cong and Wang Xinyu: "King Nalu's position as the prisoner of the country has been deprived by this king, and Mr. Cangshui (Zhang Huangyan) has always been worried about this matter. Now King Lu is terminally ill, he has a concubine who is pregnant for several months, if he gives birth to a son, he will be established as King Lu, and it can be regarded as an explanation for us to Mr. Cangshui, so that we have no place to be sorry for the gentry in Jiangnan! King Lu has a very high reputation in Jiangnan, and we still can't treat his descendants badly! ”

"The child understands!" Zheng Cong arched his hand.

Wang Xinyu also replied: "Please rest assured, uncle!" The nephew will definitely not treat King Lu badly! Lord Zhang is loyal to King Lu, and we can't break Lord Zhang's heart. ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled and nodded, and said to Zheng Cong: "Cong'er, you go out first, for the sake of father, I want to talk to your brother-in-law alone." ”

"The child obeys!" Zheng Cong withdrew.

When Wang Xinyu was left alone to accompany Zheng Chenggong inside, Zheng Chenggong first looked at Wang Xinyu carefully: "Yu'er has grown up!" Uncle is going to take the first step, the burden of recovering the Ming Dynasty is on you! ”

"Please rest assured! The nephew will definitely live up to his uncle's high expectations, lead the army to the Northern Expedition, and recover the Ming Dynasty! Wang Xinyu made a guarantee.

"Cong'er is young, Yu'er, you have a genius, you will be able to settle the country, and you will finally decide on great things. If you can be assisted, you can be assisted; If you are not talented, you can take it yourself! Zheng Chenggong imitated Liu Bei Tuogu and entrusted Zheng Cong to Wang Xinyu.

Wang Xinyu cried: "The child must do my best to prosper the Ming Dynasty and assist the king of Yanping County!" Until the day the child goes after his uncle! ”

Zheng Chenggong sighed: "Yu'er, uncle knows that you are loyal to my Zheng family and to my Ming Dynasty. But you have great talent, although you are benevolent, you can make talents like Wang Yuyou come to Shun! Only you can make Mr. Cangshui rest assured of my Zheng family! It's also a shame to say that although my uncle works with Mr. Cangshui, he fights secretly, just because each is his master. And you can make Mr. Cangshui sincerely join forces with my Zheng Jun, this is your talent! None of us can compare to you in this regard! ”

"Uncle has developed with less than 100 people to this day, and the person my nephew admires the most in this life is you, uncle! My nephew can have today, and it is all thanks to my uncle's full support! Wang Xinyu sighed sincerely.

Zheng Chenggong finally explained: "Jing'er's rebellious animal ethics are corrupt, and he actually launched infighting, so you can lead the army to get rid of this rebel son for your uncle!" Remember, there are still many people in the Zheng family who are secretly loyal to the rebel, so you can take your own Qiongzhou army! After the civil strife was quelled, it was the day of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains! It's a pity that your uncle won't see that day anymore! On that day, you must remember to move your uncle's tomb to the capital! Uncle wants to see with his own eyes how the Tartars perished! ”

"Uncle! The child will surely drive away the tartars! Wang Xinyu cried bitterly.

"Okay, you can go down first, and let your uncle have a good rest." Zheng Chenggong looked at Wang Xinyu as if he was looking at his son, and his eyes were full of love.

That night, one of the two pillars of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the national hero Zheng Chenggong, left the world with unpaid ambition and unwillingness, and went to follow his loyal Emperor Longwu. On the occasion of his death, Zheng Chenggong cried: "The first emperor! The minister is incompetent! Can't pacify the Central Plains in person! Fortunately, with Yu'er's help, the minister came to you! ”

"Lord Wang!" The Zheng Jiajun and the Qiongzhou Army were all crying.

Wang Xinyu knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang! ”

The news of Zheng Chenggong's death soon spread to Guichi, and Ao Bai learned of it and was so angry that he dropped more than a dozen cups: "Zheng Chenggong [thief!] Why don't you die sooner! If you had died a month or two earlier, I wouldn't have lost most of Jiangnan! It's really blind! I'm mad at me! ”

Yue Le stepped forward and said, "My lord, Xiao Wang feels that Zheng Rui's death has dealt a great blow to the morale of Haikou!" If you send troops to attack the rebels at this time, you will definitely be able to recapture Jiangnan in one fell swoop! (To be continued.) )
