Zheng Hongkui brought all the 100 henchmen and guards he brought to Fuzhou onto the warship, mobilized three sailor battalions from the Fuzhou Navy, protected nearly 100 merchant ships, and went all the way north to Tianjin Wei.

Fuzhou to Tianjin Wei, more than 3,000 miles away, one back and forth, more than 7,000 miles, even if it is a sea ship, the speed of travel is fast, one day and one night, it is only more than 300 miles away, plus the time of rest, one back and forth, it takes 20 days, nearly a month.

Zheng Hongkui rushed to Tianjin Wei, got 8,000 war horses onto the merchant ship, stayed for only one day, and then returned from Tianjin Wei again, all the way to the East China Sea, two or three days, arrived near Songjiang Mansion.

Soon, the flotilla approached the vicinity of the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"No, how did the fourth master do it, why did the handsome boat keep thinking about the Yangtze River estuary? This is an area controlled by the imperial court, and once it is discovered by the imperial sailors, it will be very troublesome......"

On a big Qingtou warship, the guerrilla general Lu Ting muttered, "Come on, wave the flag to the handsome ship, and ask if you are taking the wrong route, if we continue to travel like this, it won't take an hour, and we will arrive at the dock of Songjiang Mansion!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers on the side hurriedly agreed, boarded the mast, and began to wave the flag, asking in the direction of the handsome ship.

Not only Lu Ting, but also the generals on several other warships discovered this problem at the same time and began to ask the handsome ship with flags.

After a short time, the soldier stepped down from the mast and replied to the landing court: "My lord, there is no mistake in the flag given by the handsome ship, it is to dock at Songjiang Mansion!" ”

"What a name!"

Lu Ting was a little anxious, and shouted: "Docked at the Songjiang Port Wharf? Isn't that a self-defeating trap? Is the fourth master crazy? We only have a few hundred troops, once the Songjiang Mansion dock is prepared, or we encounter the Imperial Sailors, we will be miserable, but we can't run if we want to! Immediately wave the flag and ask to board the handsome ship! ”

As soon as Lu Ting's words were finished, the signal soldier on the watchtower shouted urgently: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu, the four generals have an order, order all the generals of the warship to immediately board the handsome ship to discuss matters!" ”

Lu Ting's heart was shocked, why did he suddenly have a discussion at this time? Fourth Master, what are you doing?

However, now that the fourth master is the supreme general and one of the principals of the Zheng family, Lu Ting did not doubt him, and ordered people to start the warship to move closer to the handsome ship, put down the boat, and boarded the handsome ship, almost at the same time, the generals of several other warships also boarded the handsome ship.

"Lao Lu, what's the situation, why does the fourth master want to go to Songjiang at this time? Isn't this asking for trouble? ”

Huo Tianzheng, a guerrilla general who had just boarded the ship, asked.

Lu Ting said angrily: "How do I know, is the fourth master confused?" Let's go, now go see the fourth master and ask clearly! ”

More than ten generals of the three naval divisions and battalions and the six main warships all boarded the handsome ships and came to the command cabin.

"Fourth Master!"

"Four generals!"

The crowd bowed and saluted.

"Fourth master, what's going on, at this time, we need to hurry back to Fuzhou, why do we suddenly have to dock at Songjiang Wharf? This is the hinterland of the imperial court, and there is even a fleet of imperial sailors docked here, let's paste it like this, maybe it's a meat bun beating a dog......"

Huo Tianzheng asked urgently.

"Yes, Fourth Master, what do you mean by this?"

Others asked.

"Generals!"

Zheng Hongkui replied indifferently, "Don't be impatient, and listen to me!" ”

Zheng Hongkui stood up and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from you, this time my eldest brother raised the flag to rebel, I am resolutely opposed, you all know that the eldest prince is also resolutely opposed, not to mention the rest, the court for the Zheng family, it can be said that the emperor's grace is vast, how many illegal things the Zheng family has done, how many things that violate the moderation of the court, the court has always ignored it, and has always been generous, and now the newly enthroned emperor is even more eloquent, benevolent and loving the people, which is the heart of the people, at this time, our Zheng family suddenly fell to the Manchurian Tartars, pulled the flag and rebelled, Helping foreign races to attack the imperial court, this is to defy the condemnation of the world, to do perverse things, one of you counts as one, you all have to bear the infamy of rebels and thieves, and you have to become sinners of the descendants of Yan and Huang, this is not a simple change of dynasty, but the invasion of these alien races of Manchuria, and the last sufferers are our Han people, our own brothers and sisters, parents and comrades! Are you willing to follow my eldest brother astray and run all the way to the dark? ”

Forehead......

Everyone is in a circle, what? The fourth general and the Hou Ye are not of the same mind? It seems that this is to continue to support the imperial court, so what should the Hou Ye do? Stabbed in the back by his own brother? The joke is too big......

"This, this, fourth master, you, what are you doing here!"

Huo Tianzheng's face was full of shock, and he stammered and asked.

Zheng Hongkui said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Fuzhou Town and Fujian Navy, and for the future and fate of the Zheng family, Sen'er and I are determined to stand on the side of the imperial court and oppose the rebellion of your Hou Ye, these war horses will not be sent to Fuzhou, but to Nanjing, Sen'er and I have already contacted the imperial court, and reached a consensus with the imperial court, as long as we continue to be loyal to the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will not be responsible for the past, and pardon the rebellion of all the people in Fuzhou Town and even Fujian Navy, Even all the people of the Zheng family will be pardoned, we can't be wrong anymore, I think you also know what is right and wrong in this matter, it's not that the court is sorry for the Zheng family, but that the Hou Ye insists on going his own way, and he is wrong again and again, it doesn't matter if he is wrong alone, he has no right to let everyone bury him, think about the emperor since he joined the army, every battle must be fought and every battle must be won, how many chances do you think the Zheng family's rebellion has to succeed? This is a dead end, a road to death, where are the generals going, I hope you will give me an attitude! ”

Everyone else didn't wake up in shock, but Lu Ting reflected and wiped it, Zheng Hongkui really dared to do it, and betrayed his eldest brother!

"Zheng Hongkui! Do you dare to betray the Hou Ye and sell your relatives for glory? I, Lu Ting, will never follow you against Hou Ye! ”

Lu Ting let out a loud shout and walked out.

As soon as I took two steps, I saw a figure flickering outside the door, and more than a dozen personal soldiers blocked the hatch, holding arquebuses in their hands, aiming at everyone!

"Bang ......"

There was a crashing sound, the windows on all sides were slammed open, and the same arquebuses reached in, blocking the entire hatch from the wind and rain!

Trap, that's a trap!

"Generals!"

Zheng Hongkui shouted: "I'm doing this for your good, you have to know that going against the court will never end well, think about your parents, wives and children!" ”
