Chapter 115: Zheng Jingjing's Difficulty
Drop the cup! More than 30 soldiers in bright armor and well-armed weapons rushed out of the inner hall.
"You? What are you doing? Although Zheng Tai was dizzy and his eyes were about to close, his mind was still a little clear, and he was startled when he saw a group of soldiers rushing out.
"Take it!" Zheng Jing snorted coldly.
Zheng Tai wanted to draw his sword to resist, but he had a terrible headache and weak hands and feet, and was subdued by Zheng Jing's personal soldiers at once.
"Master Hou!" Seeing that a sudden change had occurred, Wang Zihao shouted, drew his knife, and rushed into the lobby to try to save his benefactor.
Two Zheng Jing soldiers rushed up, one on the left and one on the right, waving their swords.
"Good time!" Wang Zihao waved the treasure knife in his hand and slashed it horizontally. The two Zheng Jing soldiers saw that the opponent was attacking fiercely, and one of the soldiers waved a knife to parry, but was cut in two by Wang Zihao and even with a knife. Another pro-soldier slashed down with a knife, and was slashed by Wang Zihao's round treasure knife, an arc-shaped knife flashed, and the pro-soldier's head fell to the ground.
"Save Master Hou!" In the compound, Zheng Tai's own soldiers jumped up and rushed into the lobby.
"Shoot the arrows!" I only heard Feng Xifan roar.
On the wall of the courtyard, countless archers appeared, and arrows rained down, and seven Zheng Tai's personal soldiers were shot into hedgehogs on the spot. The rest of the soldiers rushed into the hall and mingled with Zheng Jing's soldiers.
Although Zheng Tai's personal soldiers are not weak, they have no choice but to have few people, and there are Feng Xifan's secret arrows outside to hurt people, and after a while, almost all of Zheng Tai's personal soldiers fell in a pool of blood, leaving Wang Zihao and two other personal soldiers, the three of them were also covered in blood, and Wang Zihao's arms, shoulders and legs were hit by multiple feather arrows. There were also multiple stab wounds on his body, and he was bleeding profusely.
"Zheng Jing!" Wang Zihao roared and swung his sword towards Zheng Jing.
"Whoosh" two feathered arrows were fired. Wang Zihao couldn't dodge, and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen and right shoulder. The arrow that hit him in the right shoulder was shot by a master, originally aimed at Wang Zihao's throat, but Wang Zihao dodged it, and the feather arrow shot into the shoulder. The arrow was so powerful that it pierced from the front and came out from the back!
"Bang Dang" Wang Zihao, who was seriously injured, squatted on the ground. Hold the ground with a sword.
"Kill this thief!" Zheng Jing yelled.
"Little prince, slow!" Feng Xifan came up to stop Zheng Jing, "Don't kill him!" This person is Wang Yu's younger brother! We left him useful! ”
"Hahaha!" Zheng Jing looked up to the sky and laughed. "God help me! I have sent the younger brother of the thief of Wang Yu to the hands of this king! At this time, Zheng Jing's self-proclaimed names have changed, he used to call himself "Zheng", "Ben Gongzi", "Ben Shizi" and the like, but now they simply call themselves "Ben Wang", although Zheng Chenggong is not dead now.
Zheng Tai scolded: "Zheng Jing Xiaoer! You killed your comrades without permission. Seizure of the old man. Aren't you afraid your father will find out? You're about to let the old man go! The old man sees that you are a junior, and he will not talk to the prince about this! ”
"Father knows? Hahaha! What if he knew? Anyway, my father has already decided to kill this king! Is this king afraid of one more crime? Take you today, and in a few days, I will destroy Zheng Xi! Hahaha! Zheng Jing laughed. Just yesterday, Zheng Jing's eyeliner planted by his father's side came back from Hangzhou, and it has been confirmed that Zheng Chenggong wants to die by himself! Since my father is so ruthless to himself, let's just turn his face! Anyway, my father didn't have a few days to live.
"Zheng Jing! You traitor! You are betraying the prince! Zheng Tai scolded.
"Hold it down, and take care of it!" Zheng Jing shouted.
Although Zheng Tai and Wang Zihao were both taken down by Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing did not dare to kill Zheng Tai immediately, and he could not kill Zheng Tai until he solved the Zheng Tai Department on Kinmen Island. As for Wang Zihao, there is no danger to his life for the time being. Zheng Jing wants to keep Wang Zihao to deal with Wang Yu's threat.
Zheng Jing planned to go to Kinmen next and collect all Zheng Tai's men and horses. Kill all those who don't obey. But he didn't expect that there were Zheng Tai's people on Xiamen Island, and the accident that happened in Yanping Wangfu was discovered by Zheng Tai's eyeliner, and he rushed back to Kinmen as soon as possible and reported the matter to Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu.
"Big brother, big brother! Why don't you listen to me! Zheng Mingjun cried loudly when he heard this change.
"Daddy!" Zheng Zhangxu cried and fainted.
"Second master, young master!" The housekeeper Zheng Fuyuan came up crying to comfort the two, and pinched Zheng Zhangxu's people. Soon after, Zheng Zhangxu slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Zheng Mingjun comforted his nephew and said, "Virtuous nephew! Zheng Jing is ruthless, and if his eldest brother is killed, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, we might as well go to Dongfan and defect to Zheng Xi immediately! ”
"No!" Zheng Zhangxu is still a little smart, "Zheng Xun is not a good person!" This man is very ambitious and bent on seizing the throne of Yanping County, and if we defect to him, he will definitely treat us as the ghosts who will attack Zheng Jing and send us to death! We might as well immediately lead the troops to Hangzhou and defect to the prince! ”
It is really in history, because Zheng Jingcai suddenly arrested Zheng Tai after Zheng Chenggong died, and the desperate Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu had to defect to the Qing court with warships and more than 10,000 Kinmen defenders. Now that history has changed, Zheng Chenggong is not dead, Zheng Jing was forced to do it first, but the news leaked again, which pushed Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu to Zheng Cong's side.
"Second master, young master, if we leave, this Golden Gate will be unguarded, if the Tartars come to the Golden Gate, won't we just throw the Golden Gate to the Tartars for nothing?" Zheng Fuyuan said anxiously.
Zheng Mingjun was also taken aback, he knew that if Kinmen fell into the hands of the Qing army, no matter what the reason, Zheng Chenggong would not let him go.
Zheng Zheng couldn't go there, and when he went to Zheng Chenggong's side, he was worried that Kinmen Island would fall into the hands of the Qing army, what should he do? Do you want to defect to the Qing army on the other side? But after thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Mingjun still decided to go to Hangzhou: "Go to Hangzhou!" The prince knows that it is Zheng Jing who wants to kill us, and he will not blame us! ”
Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu immediately set sail and left Kinmen Island with more than 500 large and small warships and more than 10,000 soldiers. The flotilla left the dock, entered the sea, and sailed north.
On the vast sea, the blue waves ripple, and the white seagulls soar with the fleet. The sails of the large and small ships flying the Zheng Jiajun Zheng Tai flag were blown by the wind, and the bow of the ship ploughed the waves. Follow the coastline all the way north.
"My lord! There are boats approaching us from the west! A personal soldier ran up to the helm tower to report to Zheng Mingjun.
Looking in the direction of the soldier's finger, he saw a group of white soft-sailed warships appearing in the west, heading towards his fleet. Just when Zheng Mingjun thought it was the Dutch attacking. Just as he was about to give the order to prepare for battle, the Western-style soft sail fleet approached, and Zheng Mingjun found that the flag of the Qiongzhou Army was flying on the ship.
"Boat ahead, wait for us!" The signal came from a Western-style soft-sail warship.
Zheng Mingjun saw that the approaching fleet was not hostile, and signaled to slow down and wait for the Western-style soft-sail fleet to approach.
The Western-style soft-sail fleet entered the middle of Zheng Mingjun's fleet, and the flagship cruiser Drake signaled. After getting Zheng Mingjun's consent. Landing on Zheng Mingjun's Dafu ship, Wu Haodong disembarked from the Drake and boarded Zheng Mingjun's Chinese military ship.
"Lord Zheng. Where are you going? As soon as Wu Haodong saw Zheng Mingjun's Chinese military ship, he opened his mouth to question. His task was to keep an eye on Zheng Tai's troops in Kinmen, in case Zheng Tai's generals defected to the Qing court. Because in real history, Zheng Mingjun went to the Qing court with ships and soldiers, which led to the recovery of the Qing army's sailors. Captured the two islands of Jinxia.
"We're going to Hangzhou to join the prince!" Zheng Mingjun replied.
Wu Haodong asked again: "You are all out of the army." Leave Kinmen Island and go to Hangzhou, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you? ”
"It was Zheng Jing who forced us to do this! He detained my father and had to cut us all down before he was satisfied! If we don't run, are we still waiting for Zheng Jing to kill us on Kinmen Island? The young and vigorous Zheng Zhangxu said angrily.
"Two generals, the prince is unwell, if he knows these things, he will definitely make the prince die! You went to Hangzhou to anger the prince! Wu Haodong's brows were twisted into the word "Sichuan".
"You can't go to Dongfan, and you can't go to Hangzhou. Then General Wu, where do you say let's go? Is it possible to go to the other side and go to the Tartars? Zheng Zhangxu said indignantly.
Wu Haodong laughed and said, "Two generals, I know that you will not go to the Tartars on the other side!" So be it. The last general hopes that the two generals can make contributions to my Ming Dynasty! The Tartars are about to send troops to invade Qiongzhou, can the two generals be interested in going to Qiongzhou to help our army? ”
"We are the people of the prince of Yanping! It's not your people from Qiongzhou Wang Yu! Zheng Jinxu thought that Wang Xinyu was going to annex them, so he replied angrily.
"Two generals! The last general is not a lobbyist for General Wang! The two generals went to Qiongzhou to help the war, not to defect to our General Wang. This time, the Tartar is led by Hong Chengchou's old dog himself! After defeating the Tartars and capturing Hong Chengchou, the two generals went to Hangzhou to follow the king of Yanping! At that time, King Yanping was in a happy mood, and he would not blame the two generals! Wu Haodong arched his hand.
Zheng Mingjun agreed to Wu Haodong's proposal: "Okay! Your General Wang also came out of our Zheng Jiajun, and he is the son-in-law of Zheng Jiajun, and we are also a family! Then Zheng will go to Qiongzhou first to help you resist the Tartars! Wait until you defeat the Tartars and then go to Hangzhou! If our army is lucky enough to capture and kill Hong Chengchou, the prince will not blame us for the crime of giving up Kinmen! ”
Hearing the words "Hong Chengchou", Zheng Zhangxu also shouted: "Hong Chengchou is an old thief!" If it weren't for this thief, the Tartars would not have been able to capture Jiangnan! Ben Gongzi is willing to go to Qiongzhou! When you see Hong Chengchou's old thief, you must kill him! ”
Wu Haodong gave the two of them another reassurance: "The two generals should go to Qiongzhou!" The waters of Kinmen are guarded by our fleet! Li Shutai and Huang Wu, the two thieves, didn't have the guts to cross the sea! Shi Lang thief seems to have been summoned to Beijing by the Tartar Emperor to take up an idle position! As long as the thief does not come, the Tartar sailors will be a rabble! ”
Besides, Zheng Jing personally led the army to land on Kinmen Island, but after landing on the island, he was empty, and there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled Zhu Yihai who was sick and dying on Kinmen Island.
"Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu, you two dog thieves! Count you fast running! "Didn't catch Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu, Zheng Jing was very angry.
"Little prince! What to do with King Naru? Hong Xu asked.
"After all, he is a member of the Ming Clan, and we still have to give this little face! Anyway, he is terminally ill, and he doesn't have a few days to live! Take him to Xiamen, wait for him to die of illness, and give him a good burial! Zheng Jing coldly threw down a sentence.
In the Gaoqi camp in Xiamen, a spy hurriedly broke into Chen Python's Chinese army camp and knelt on the ground to report: "Lord Chen! Big things are wrong! The army of the prince has slaughtered our Takasaki battalion! ”
"The army of the prince is coming to kill us? What is he going to do? Chen Python was shocked.
"My lord, the prince has long looked at us unpleasantly! The prince is seriously ill, and the prince is estimated to get rid of us! A subordinate general bowed.
The spy said: "Lord Chen, the prince thinks that you only have the prince without him in your eyes, and I am worried that after the prince drives the crane to the west, you will fall to Zheng and attack him, which is not good for him, so I want to get rid of you." ”
"Zheng Jing wants to kill the old man! Hahaha! The old man is waiting for him here, and see what he wants to say to the old man when he comes! Chen Python laughed angrily, slammed the table and stood up.
"My lord, let's get on the boat and get out of here! Zheng Jing has strong troops, we are not his opponents! Several generals persuaded.
"Yes! Adults, let's go! Zheng Jingneng communicated with his mother, and he disobeyed the prince's order and refused to commit suicide, a person like him was mad and could do anything! A master who looked like a literati also advised Chen Python.
The hero does not suffer the immediate loss, Chen Python pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to Hangzhou to join Zheng Cong. He was loyal to the king of Yanping and went to Hangzhou to defect to Zheng Cong, which was not considered a betrayal of the king of Yanping.
Zheng Jing was clearing the "destabilizing factors" on Xiamen Island, and as a result, he frightened those people into fleeing to Hangzhou or Qiongzhou. In real history, because Zheng Jing purged dissidents, he forced these people to surrender to the Qing court. And now that history has changed, these people who were supposed to surrender to the Qing court either went to Wang Xinyu or Zheng Cong, and less than 5,000 people panicked and went to the other side of the river to surrender to the Qing army.
"Little prince! Zheng Xi's messenger is here! Just as Zheng Jing was busy purging dissidents, his own soldiers came to report.
"Coming? Hahaha! Well done! This king wants to see if they dare to show their father's edict to this king! Zheng Jing looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy. Although Vance told him about it, and his eyeliner also said about Zheng Chenggong's edict, Zheng Jing didn't see his father's edict with his own eyes, and he still didn't fully believe it, and he even thought that his father's edict was probably forged by Wang Yu or Zheng Cong.
Except for one messenger, the others sent by Zheng Jing were all blocked by Zheng Jing's personal soldiers.
The envoy entered the palace of the king of Yanping County, saluted Zheng Jing, and then opened Zheng Chenggong's edict: "The king of Yanping is the king!" Zheng Jing obeys orders! ”
Zheng Jing knelt on the ground and listened to the messenger read: "Three fathers and six mothers, and the mother is also one of them." Giving birth to a child through a child is morally corrupt. This is not the right way to govern the family, and the country is safe! …… I hereby order to commit suicide and apologize! ”
"Hahaha!" Zheng Jing laughed, snatched the king's life, and saw that it was indeed a letter written by his father, it was absolutely impossible to be a forgery, Zheng Jing laughed wildly: "Father! What is the sin of a child for the sake of true love? Why did the father kill the child? After speaking, Zheng Jing made a gesture: "Someone!" Pull this messenger out and cut it down!
