The army soldiers of the Qiongzhou battalion were divided into two roads, and the battle on the left side of the city was very lively, although it encountered some resistance, but the two infantry battalions pushed steadily and steadily, and the battle plan was completed very successfully; On the Anping side, the difficulty is even lower, in the face of the guards and special combat teams armed to the teeth, plus the two additional infantry companies, Anping Town, which has basically no defense at all, has been drummed down, and the people in the town have not reacted to what is going on until this group of fierce people rushed in, Huang Hansheng was still fighting the rattan armor soldiers, Yang Youji and Huang Mengjia had already led people to surround the Zheng family's old house, which was far smoother than expected, the local government was powerless to resist, and the people swept the snow in front of their own doors.

At this time, the old mansion of the Zheng family was not the mansion that covered an area of 100 acres in the early Qing Dynasty, but was only the scale of a local noble family.

When Yang Youji and Huang Mengjia broke in, Wang Qinian, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted them: "Please move the two captains to the inner courtyard, the Zheng clan is inside." ”

When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the pale-faced Zheng Hongkui stood alone, and behind him were hundreds of people who were afraid and kneeling on the ground, including men, women and children.

Yang Youji said expressionlessly: "Fourth Master Zheng, very good, you really did as we agreed, restrained all the clansmen in the house, and did not run around, saving us the effort of pursuing and inquiring......"

As soon as these words came out, the Zheng clan on the ground looked up at Zheng Hongkui in surprise, when this gang of murderers entered the town, the gunfire was loud, and everyone wanted to run, but they were all stopped by the fourth master. Could it be that the fourth master and these people are in the same group?

Zheng Hongkui's face was ugly, what he said was very ambiguous, and it would make the clansmen misunderstand, but this was not the case. But he didn't care about that right now, he cared about it more than that.

He asked in a low voice, "My eldest brother is he...... Defeated? ”

Only when Zheng Zhilong was defeated and retreated to the left of the center, would the Qiongzhou battalion come to Anping so swaggeringly, it seems that the eldest brother is more than lucky.

Huang Mengjia grinned, and replied in a loud voice: "Your eldest brother was defeated in the naval battle, hundreds of boats, nearly 10,000 horses, all went to the bottom of the sea to see the Dragon King, and now he has returned to the city, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of being in a different place!" ”

Zheng Hongkui's eyes darkened, if what this fierce man said was true, then things were even worse than he imagined, and the Zheng family encountered an unprecedented crisis, which can be said to be a catastrophe. Originally, he thought that the defeat in the naval battle was nothing more than to retreat to the land, and then try to make a comeback after the Qiongzhou battalion retreated, and the Qiongzhou battalion was just taking a few hostages on the Anping side to blackmail the eldest brother, but he didn't expect to be defeated so completely, and in the end, he was afraid that he would not even be able to keep the city.

The kneeling clansmen and subordinates on the ground felt despair, and some began to sigh, and the ladies couldn't help but sob.

Huang Mengjia's eyes widened, and he roared, "What's the howl? Howl again, Lao Tzu cut your tongue first! "He was a burly man with a fierce appearance, and as soon as he made a sound, everyone was stunned, and the crying stopped abruptly.

Yang Youji said coldly: "Fourth Master Zheng, according to the general's orders, you cooperate with us and give you a privilege: point out your wife and children and stand aside." ”

Zheng Hongkui was taken aback, is this to take everyone except his own room as hostages? He was a little unbearable, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, as long as they could save their lives, they would slowly find a way to intercede in the future and save them.

He hesitated for a while, and finally obediently pointed out his wife and children in the crowd, and several wives and concubines stood aside timidly with their children.

Yang Youji urged behind him: "It's all done, right?" ”

Zheng Hongkui was about to answer, when he suddenly found a swarthy young man in the crowd looking at him, with a hint of pleading in his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and found that it was actually his nephew Zheng Fusong. Fumatsu didn't know whether to smear his face with grass ash or mud, and his originally white face became dark, like a fisherman who was exposed to the sun and rain all day.

Seeing Fu Song's pleading eyes, Zheng Hongkui hesitated.

At this time, he remembered that he had been ordered by his eldest brother to visit the young Fumatsu in Hirado several times, and this nephew could be said to have grown up by himself, and he was so handed over to the Qiongzhou camp, and his conscience could not get by. Although he has a lot of resentment towards his eldest brother, the child is innocent, and he can't be angry with Fusong.

Zheng Hongkui's originally retracted index finger stretched out again: "This is the scholar who is accompanied by my boy, and he usually sees it as half a son, so it is also in my room." ”

Wang Qinian stood far away, glanced over here at random, and didn't recognize that this was Zheng Zhilong's son for a while, after all, he and Fusong had only met once. Although he has a strong ability to recognize human faces, he has no intention of having a heart, and Zheng Fusong deliberately conceals his true face, and if he does not stand close and carefully identify, he will not be able to see the clue.

Yang Youji saw that he was just a child, and he was dressed very ordinary, like a subordinate, so he waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, stand up." ”

Zheng Fusong stood up, didn't say a word, lowered his head and walked into the fourth uncle's family, and after standing still, his heart was beating wildly. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it seemed at all, but he was terribly afraid. Different from the fourth uncle's idea, he felt that these people were not good, and they would never let go of the Zheng family with a few prestigious blows, and it would be a bloody storm, so he grabbed the dust on the ground and spit a few mouthfuls of spit on his face in the chaos, and then changed his coat with his scholar, waiting for an opportunity to ask the fourth uncle for help, but fortunately, this strategy worked and he successfully escaped.

Zheng Hongkui bowed his hand and said to Yang Youji: "This leader, your surname, may I ask what to do with my Zheng clansmen?" I negotiated the terms with your general, as long as I let the Zheng family not resist and do not escape, he promised not to harm the lives of my people......"

Yang Youji made a straight face and didn't make a sound, seemingly disdainful of answering this question, just gesturing to his subordinates. After a while, one group of soldiers after another entered the courtyard, filling the inner courtyard to the brim, all staring at the Zheng family members opposite, like hunters staring at their prey.

Huang Mengjia grinned and said, "I said Fourth Master Zheng, you don't think that we spent such a big battle and came to your Zheng family's old mansion to invite your people to eat and drink, right?" ”

Zheng Hongkui was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to his heart, and he asked, "What do you want?" ”

Yang Youji didn't answer immediately, and after more than 200 soldiers surrounded a hundred unarmed women, children, old and children, he asked casually: "Are your Zheng family brothers and family children among them?" ”

Zheng Hongkui subconsciously replied: "I am the only one who is a man in the prime of life and has an errand, and the rest of the people follow the eldest brother to meet the enemy on the sailor's boat." The eldest is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest is only three or four years old......"

Yang Youji nodded: "In other words, the men who may become the heirs of the Zheng family are all here......"
