After Zheng Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, most of the Zheng soldiers blindly followed the shaving of their hair before they could figure out what was going on.After the generals of the Zheng army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they changed their proprietors, and they still had some ideas, wanting to perform well and gain the recognition of the Qing court, so as to establish a meritorious career.Although Duoduo despised Zheng Jun in his heart, in order to stabilize and control Zheng Jun, he treated Zheng Jun's generals favorably, and often gave money and rewards.For ordinary Zheng soldiers, after changing owners, they soon found that not only was the treatment not as good as before, but also full of danger, and they were called as cannon fodder, and they had already complained in their hearts.Although the newly surrendered Zheng generals tried their best to command, the morale of the Zheng soldiers was low, and Duoduo urged the Zheng army to attack for several days, but they all ended in failure.In the past few days, the Ming army still sent back the captured Zheng soldiers, and many Zheng soldiers who had been captured several times came to the Ming army camp, and they were more familiar with their own homes, eating and drinking, and taking away some food, and saying goodbye to the Ming soldiers.Duoduo didn't care about Zheng's soldiers at first, and the soldiers who were released returned directly to Zheng's camp did not attract Duoduo's attention.It wasn't until the Zheng army's combat effectiveness became worse and worse, and every attack was a humiliating appearance, that Duoduo understood the reason.In order to avoid the erosion of the 50,000 Zheng troops, Duoduo hurriedly issued an order, claiming that there were spies among the prisoners released by the Ming army, and that the returned soldiers would be isolated so as not to affect the rest of the Zheng army.If these prisoners who were released were killed, it would inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the Zheng soldiers, and the Ming army did not kill them and released them, but the Qing army killed them, so the Zheng soldiers were afraid that they would defect.These people can't be killed, but it's a scourge to stay, not only can they not contribute to Duoduo, but they have a lot of troops to guard.At this time, the Qing army's attack did not go well, and Zheng Junjun's heart was shaken again, but Duoduo was still full of confidence.Because the key battlefield that determines the victory of the battle is not Lianjiang, Duoduo can defeat the main force of the Lianjiang Ming army, which is naturally a good thing for the Qing army, and can destroy the Zhejiang army in advance and win the war, but if Duoduo can't quickly defeat the Lianjiang Ming army, it doesn't matter, wait for He Luohui and Gong Adai to capture Ruijin, destroy the small court of Longwu, and then march west to join Ganzhou with Le Kedehun, take Gannan, and after the overall situation is determined, the Zhejiang Ming army will finish playing sooner or later, and it will only be a matter of time before it perishes.Moreover, Duoduo raided Anping City and swept away Zheng Zhilong's money, food and treasures, and he now has money in his hands, and he can afford to spend it.Therefore, although the current war is not as smooth as Duoduo imagined when he left Fuzhou, the Qing army did not defeat Zhao Ming, but Duoduo did not need to be in a hurry, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already taken the advantage, and the war dragged on, which was even more unfavorable to the Ming army.In 1649, the fifth year of Longwu, the twelfth day of the first month, Kinmen Island.After the Qing army raided Anping City and showed its fangs to the Zheng family, the Zheng family's accumulation of more than ten years was captured by the Qing army, and the family members were killed and taken captive, and there were not a few people who were sent to Beijing for imprisonment.This made Zheng Hongkui and others finally completely sober up, knowing that Zheng Zhilong was deceived by the Manchus and the Zheng family was tricked by the Manchus.In fact, if you think about it carefully, everyone in the Zheng family should also understand that the Manchu Qing Dynasty started by robbery, and the Zheng family in Fujian is rich and rivals the country, how can the Manchu Qing not salivate.In front of the robbers, it is almost impossible to protect their wealth if they have the strength to protect their wealth, give up resistance by themselves, welcome the robbers into the house, and imagine that the robbers will not have evil intentions.After the Qing army raided Anping City, the old nest of the Zheng family, the Zheng army, which was entrenched on the two islands of Jinxia, lost its provisions, and Zheng Hongkui and others did not care about Zheng Zhilong being sent to Beijing as a hostage, so they launched an attack on the coast of Zhangquan and robbed a batch of grain for the festival.On this day, at the pier of Kinmen Island, a ship sailed into the harbor and anchored on the edge of the pier, and Xia Wanchun stepped down from the ship.At this time, he had just landed on the shore, and a sound of hooves came, only to see Dingyuan Bo Zheng Lian, leading dozens of horses to gallop over, restraining the war horse in front of the dock, turning over, and arching his hand with the whip downward: "Xia Jian Jun, there is a long way to welcome!"
”Xia Wanchun returned the salute, "The general doesn't have to be polite, please bring Yu Su to see the prisoner." ”At that moment, Zheng Lian led Xia Wanchun to Zheng Hongkui's temporary festival hall.After Zheng Zhilong left, the Zheng family had no leader, and they had completely fallen into a state of division, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Cai, and Zheng Lian each led a team of soldiers and horses, but it was not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, only because Zheng Hongkui was their uncle, so they nominally listened to Zheng Hongkui's command.At this time, in front of the mansion, Zheng Hongkui, who got the news, was already waiting in front of the door.Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing court made the Zheng family cut themselves off from the Ming court, and now the Zheng family realizes that the Zheng family was deceived by the Manchus and wants to return to the Ming Dynasty, but there is some trepidation in their hearts.After all, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Zheng family gave up Fujian, which caused the current situation of the Ming army's passivity, and the Zheng family was really worried about whether the Ming Dynasty would accept them, and even if they did, whether they would settle accounts after the autumn.Now the Ming army on the two islands of Jinxia has two main opinions, Zheng Hongkui has participated in supporting Longwu, plus he has always been more respectful to Longwu, and Zheng Chenggong also protects Emperor Longwu, so he insists on turning back to serve Longwu, but Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are a little hesitant, they have been under the command of Zheng Zhilong, and they have a lot of disrespect for Longwu, plus Longwu was killed by Zheng Jun this time, they are afraid of retaliation, so they are suspicious."
Xia Jianjun, how did you come?"
Zheng Hongkui smiled.Xia Wanchun saluted Zheng Hongkui and said: "Dingyu Hou, now the situation is worrying, the lower official is entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and specially came to ask Dingyu Hou to help!"
”Zheng Hongkui's face sank, and he turned sideways and asked, "Let's go in and talk!"
”A group of officials all entered the house and sat down in the lobby, Zheng Hongkui naturally sat on the main seat, Xia Wanchun did not greet him, did not have politeness, and went straight to the point and said: "Dingyu Hou, now Your Majesty is surrounded by Ruijin, and it is in danger."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Pinglu sent troops to the King of Qin, and now they are fighting with Duoduo in Lianjiang, and they specially invite the Marquis of Dinglu to send troops to help in the war!
”Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and others were silent for a while, and the Fujian incident broke up, and the Zheng family fell apart, and the losses were great.Now that Zheng Jun has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the besieged ones have been besieged, there are only the third brothers left, and they all want to preserve their strength and leave some money for the Zheng family.At this time, the Qing army was strong, the Zheng army was demoralized, and there was no preparation, if it rashly joined the war, resulting in a big defeat, then the Zheng family was finished.After a while, Zheng Hongkui said: "Xia Jian Army, our army has suffered heavy losses, and Anping City has been attacked by the Qing army, and the materials have been lost, so I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the battle." ”Xia Wanchun said with a straight face: "Dingju Hou, in this autumn of life and death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Pingyu Hou have contained Duoduo's main force in Lianjiang, and Duoduo's air defense is weak, which is an excellent opportunity for Dingju Hou to turn the tide."
Now the situation is indeed critical, if Jin Xia sits idly by, the consequences are worrying, and the Dinghou cannot exist alone!
”Zheng Hongkui had a calm face, but Zheng Lian on the side rolled his eyes, and helped Xia Wanchun and said: "Fourth uncle, I thought that there was a change in everything, if we don't make a move at this time, the situation will collapse, and it will be difficult for us to last for a long time!"
”Zheng Cai also said: "Our army must take action. ”(Thank you all for your support!)
