Chapter 445: The Old Job


It's just that it's not easy to say some words.

These new recruits still need to be somewhat shy.

They all wait for the person next to them to speak first, so that all they have to do is agree.

After holding it in for a long time, someone finally couldn't help it anymore.

"General Zheng, we are willing to become auxiliary soldiers.

We are willing to go home and live."

Zheng Chenggong was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Okay, I will allow you to leave the military camp.

However, you must train every day."

All the recruits were happy and responded in unison: "Thank you, General Zheng."

Jiushan Island.

This small island across the sea from Xiangshan County is now occupied by a group of Japanese pirates.

Of course, he is a Japanese pirate in disguise.

The true identities of these Japanese pirates are private soldiers raised by Zheng Zhilong.

These private soldiers are different from the Fujian Ming army.

They are outside the establishment and cannot be seen in the light on weekdays.

But precisely because of this, Zheng Zhilong could send them to the southeast without any scruples.

Anyway, when the time comes, just put the blame on the Japanese pirates and that will be it.

Zhejiang is adjacent to Fujian, so Zheng Zhilong naturally sent the most private soldiers here.

This is especially true in Ningbo Prefecture.

There are as many as 10,000 troops stationed on Jiushan Island.

Their mission was to harass Ningbo, Taizhou and other prefectures, create as much trouble and chaos as possible for the court, and create room for Wu Sangui of Huguang to perform.

The commander of this army was named Zheng Sanhu, an old subordinate of Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Sanhu followed Zheng Zhilong when he was a pirate.

Later, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the imperial court, and Zheng Sanhu also accepted the recruitment.

It's just that in his opinion, being an officer and soldier is not as happy as being a pirate.

When you were a pirate, you could kill and rob whenever you wanted, but as an officer and soldier, you couldn't do these things, at least on the surface.

The only thing worth talking about is this identity.

Now, Zheng Zhilong decided to rebel against the court and support King Gui, and Zheng Sanhu and other old subordinates had a place to use again.

He said that this trip to Zhejiang can let out all the pent-up and useless energy in his chest.

Jiushan Island was originally occupied by a group of pirates, and the operation was in an orderly manner.

After Zheng Sanhu led his troops, the other party obediently offered it up.

There is no way to compete as a pirate, whose fist is stronger.

The other party is Zheng Zhilong's man.

If anyone who is a pirate doesn't give Zheng Zhilong face, then he doesn't have to hang out on the road.

After settling down the rear, Zheng Sanhu let go of his hands and feet and started working hard.

Burning, killing, raping, and coastal plunder were his special skills.

Although it took a long time to put it down, it is not difficult to pick it up again.

Zheng Sanhu ordered all his men to change their Japanese hair accessories and clothes, and even their swords were replaced by Japanese knives.

Most of his subordinates can even speak Japanese, and their combat effectiveness is extremely fierce.

Ordinary people can't tell the difference at all.

However, recently he has only sent people to harass coastal villages, and the deterrent effect is still not enough.

Zheng Sanhu is planning to do something big.

He prepared to send troops to attack Xiangshan County.

He had already sent someone to inquire, and found that there were not many garrison troops in Xiangshan County today.

The garrison of Ningbo Prefecture is concentrated in Fuzhi.

The prefect of Shaoxing was a coward and did not dare to send troops to Xiangshan for reinforcements.

He was afraid that the Japanese pirates would come and send tigers away from the mountain to attack the city directly.

In this way, Zheng Sanhu no longer has to worry and can send his main force to attack Xiangshan.

The city wall in Xiangshan County is not very tall.

Zheng Sanhu thought that he did not even need to send people to make large siege equipment, and could just attack the city directly.

As long as they take Xiangshan County, they can slap the court hard and make the court lose face.

Of course, these are all things that will happen in a few days.

Now he wants to enjoy the joy of men and women.

The women they robbed were imprisoned in the firewood shed, where they could vent their anger at any time.

Zheng Sanhu didn't care about their feelings at all.

To him, these women were just tools to vent his desires.

As long as it can make the soldiers under his command happy, it doesn't matter how many women's innocence is stained.

They are pirates, and secular moral principles cannot restrain them at all.

After accepting the imperial court's invitation, they only temporarily suppressed the evil thoughts in their hearts, and now they are just releasing them again.

"Little lady, brother, I'm here."

Zheng Sanhu let out a lewd laugh and walked towards the woodshed.

After some arrangements by Zheng Chenggong, all the new soldiers recruited by Chen Huan had left the military camp, and were replaced by the imperial army of tigers and soldiers.

The main body of this army is the original Shence Army.

It just underwent a round of reorganization and added some officers and soldiers from Denglai.

It would have been difficult for Zheng Chenggong to command such an army.

But since the victory at Buffalo Island, his prestige in the military has greatly increased.

Even Zhang Kentang, the governor of Denglai, praised him highly.

In this case, it was no longer a problem for Zheng Chenggong to lead this army to Xiangshan to suppress the Japanese.

After a day or two of rest, the fatigue of the long march was relieved.

Zheng Chenggong decided not to delay any longer and immediately began searching the sea.

As long as the Japanese pirates problem is not resolved, the knot in His Majesty's heart will never be untied.

Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.

If he can't share the emperor's worries, wouldn't he be sorry for your majesty's kindness?

When Zheng Chenggong came, he had already made up his mind that the Japanese pirates would never return until they were destroyed.

They arrived at Xiangshan by sea, so the boat was not a problem and there was no need to improvise.

They boarded large Fuzhou and Guangzhou ships, which allowed them to sail long distances without any problems, not to mention conducting searches in offshore waters.

According to Magistrate Chen's description, the Japanese pirates came and went without a trace and moved very quickly.

Zheng Chenggong initially determined that the Japanese pirates' lair was around Xiangshan County.

Xiangshan County is close to the sea and Changguo Guard was once built.

Although the guard system now exists in name only, the remaining ports can still be used.

In addition to farming, Changguowei's guards also secretly went to sea to fish and make private salt to supplement their expenses.

So their port can accommodate many ships.

Now all the naval forces brought by Zheng Chenggong from Denglai are anchored here.

Zheng Chenggong gave the order and the fleet all set sail.

Zheng Chenggong himself and County Magistrate Chen were on the largest fortune ship.

This was County Magistrate Chen's first time going to sea.

Standing on the deck and being blown by the sea breeze, he felt a little dizzy.

"General Zheng, where are we going?"

"I don't know, so I searched them inch by inch until I found the Japanese pirates."

Zheng Chenggong said calmly.

County Magistrate Chen forced a smile and said: "Then we have to search until when.

General Zheng really wants to stay on this boat all the time."

"My responsibilities are my duty, and I dare not slack off at all.

The wind is strong on the deck.

If County Magistrate Chen has nothing important to do, he should go back to the cabin first."

Although Zheng Chenggong's tone was very calm, it always sounded strange to Magistrate Chen.

His face turned red, he coughed twice and said: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem.

General Zheng can stay on this deck, so what's wrong with me?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "In that case, Magistrate Chen, please do as you please
