Chapter 918: Three Generations of Pirates

Mobile reading

Zheng Jing can be regarded as taking advantage of this opportunity to have a bad breath, no matter how he fought a few days ago, a city could not be defeated, and it was impossible to say that there was no way to do it, and his subordinates were all people who inherited his father Zheng Chenggong. And his father Zheng Chenggong inherited his grandfather Zheng Zhilong's people.

Now these soldiers and horses under his command are also three generations of pirates, the Manchu cavalry is so powerful, and the combat effectiveness of the second generation of cavalry is still so powerful, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of this pirate is originally on the ship, passed down for three generations, although the Zheng family has been training their ability to fight on land, but it is still a lot worse than the regular army.

The biggest problem is the law in this army, the reason why a military can become a strong army is that the law in the army is strict, and the Yue family army at the beginning, and later the Qi family army, if you violate the military law at every turn, you have to hit the ground.

But there is not so much attention to among pirates, and the most common fault among pirates is betraying their brothers. Although the army has also been formed, if anyone makes a mistake, as soon as people say what kind of friendship your grandfather had with my grandfather, and what kind of friendship your father had with my father, this knife will not be able to cut down, and in the long run, these people will not take the laws in this army very seriously.

Chen Yonghua has mentioned this to Zheng Jing countless times, but Zheng Jing can make decisions on the spot, only he can't do this thing, as we all know, Zheng Jing slept with his nurse at the beginning, which angered Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong wanted to send someone to kill him, thanks to these brothers around him to protect him, and later Zheng Chenggong died, his uncles usurped power, and it was these brothers who supported him to kill back to Taiwan, so he inherited the position of King Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted him to use knives against these old brothers, but he couldn't do it.

Taiwan's Zheng clan made a lot of fun in Penghu and Xiamen at the beginning in the history books, because the Qing Dynasty's attention was not on them at all, and even then they did not make much noise, and later the Qing Dynasty mobilized a large army and almost destroyed Taiwan in general, which shows that the quality of their soldiers is actually not very high.

Therefore, since Chen Yonghua came back from the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jing has always wanted to build some cities to make contributions, recover the Ming Dynasty, and keep the position of the king of Yanping.

You must know that the moisture of Taiwan's Zheng family, the king of Yanping, is not small, at that time, the Ming Dynasty even lost Nanjing, and those who had soldiers and generals in their hands were basically sealed as big officials, and Bai Wenxuan, Li Dingguo, and these people were all crowned.

When the real Ming Dynasty calms the world, it is still two questions whether the Zheng family can keep the throne, so he is eager to make contributions, on the one hand, to restore the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, to protect the glory of the Zheng family.

It's just that the reality is much more cruel than imagined, after a few months of fighting, not a single city has been defeated, Zheng Jing is almost desperate, even so, he is still reluctant to touch those brothers under him.

After conquering a few cities, there was a sudden incident that caught Zheng Jing off guard, a brother under his command ruined the daughter of a large family and killed the whole family.

The land south of the Yangtze River is not easy to get along, at the beginning, because of a head-shaving order, Jiangyin City 100,000 people rebelled, and the Manchu soldiers and horses fought for 80 days, and finally the Manchu army was pacified at the cost of 75,000 casualties.

After this happened, Zheng Jing didn't have time to deal with this matter, there was already chaos here, and all the people in the entire city were gathered, and there were knives and guns in this place, and people who didn't have them came to Zheng Jing's military camp with hoes.

Although they don't care if the city is lost, after all, whoever is the emperor also pays taxes, and they can't avoid natural disasters, but this week's family is a well-known good person in the city, and they give porridge at the door every day during the famine. Although it is the worst kind of coffin, it is definitely a great kindness that is difficult to repay in the eyes of people.

Now I didn't recruit anyone and didn't mess with anyone, just because there was a beautiful daughter in the family who was ruined by being a soldier, the old lady was angry, and a whole family was killed, and these people in the city who had been favored couldn't swallow this breath.

The lives of his whole family were given by Master Zhou, and now that Master Zhou has encountered this kind of disaster, if he doesn't even dare to come out, he won't be able to stand up and be a man when he goes out in the future. Every time you slaughter more dogs, you have never been a scholar, this sentence actually has some truth, although these people have not read but know the simplest truth, there will be a reward. People who have read the book have to think about it a lot and worry a lot, maybe they don't have this blood.

And the rich people in the city also joined hands and began to secretly support these people who came forward, after all, who doesn't have a daughter in the family, and looking at this kind of life, in their eyes, it is like grass mustard, and everyone is naturally in danger of wanting to protect themselves.

These people came to the barracks and were indignant and demanded that the commander of the army hand over the murderer.

Zheng Jing had already learned about this before these people arrived, and was originally reprimanding those people in the camp for not growing up, but who knew that when he heard about it, he immediately found Chen Yonghua.

"Chen Junshi, you see this thing is going on, what should I do?"

Chen Yonghua lowered his head and said solemnly: "I have already said the idea, as for whether to use it or not, it depends on the prince." ”

Zheng Jing's face sank: "The Lone King has said, these are the life and death brothers of the Lone King, they refused to bear the Lone King at the beginning, and the Lone King will never fail them!" ”

Chen Yonghua raised his head suddenly: "The prince is not only their prince, but the prince of all the people in the world, the prince has lost all the people of the world for them today, but don't blame the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for the people of the world for the sake of the people of the world!" ”

Zheng Jing gritted his teeth: "But how did you let the Lone King get his hands on it?" ”

"You don't need the prince to do it himself, you just need a word from the prince, and the ministers will do all these things for you."

Chen Yonghua is Zheng Kezang's father-in-law, in history, he and Zheng Kezang's camp did not fight Zheng Jing's youngest son Zheng Kezhang, in addition to Zheng Kezang's illegitimate birth of Zheng Jing and his nurse, which made Zheng Jing's mother unhappy, another point is that Chen Yonghua really wanted to build a strong Zheng army, but this conflicted with the interests of these people in the army, and finally lost all support and lost directly to Zheng Kezhang.

But now that his goal is the same as Zheng Jing's interests, Zheng Jing also has to follow his advice, if it is still the pirate style before, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Daming.

This is equivalent to those bandits recruited by the People's Liberation Army in later generations, who must be completely separated from the original camp in order to truly integrate into the new class.
