The more he received the good news from Yan Siqi from Penghu, the more Zheng Haizhu urgently asked Yu Zigao to send a boat to Penghu immediately.

"Sir, the two red-haired warships that escaped from the siege did not fire any shells on the starboard side. If Yan Xuanfu's victory in Penghu Island was just a disaster, and he happened to meet the two warships that fled back to the Penghu base..."

Yu Zigao waved his hand: "Miss Zheng is worried, I will understand."

As a veteran naval officer, although he won the naval battle of Liuluo Bay, he had seen with his own eyes the power of the giant cannons on a large five-masted sailing ship in the Netherlands during the whole night of commanding operations, so he dared not take it too seriously.

Yu Zigao then ordered people to transport the Frankie cannons on the ships participating in the battle to the four Fu boats in the harbor to prepare for the battle. General Zheng Yi led [-] Xun soldiers who had already been stationed on Penghu Island. Drum sails eastward.

At this time, at the end of Mao and the beginning of Chen, Chao Tun has leaped out of the sea level quite a bit, and thousands of golden threads break through the clouds, spreading towards the vast expanse of blue waves in the east, creating a brilliant and dazzling world.

Zheng Haizhu stood on the side of the ship, looking back to the west, the lingering smoke on the sea surface of Luowan, showing the scene of the wrecked ship floating dead and devastated.

However, in the sunshine of the rising sun, the Kinmen Island Guardhouse is quite magnificent.

Zheng Yi came over and said politely: "Girl, don't worry, we will definitely work together with Yan Xuanfu to expel them, forcing them to go back to their lairs in Manlajia without rest."

Zheng Haizhu was not in front of the generals of the Fujian Army Navy, avoiding his close friendship with Yan Siqi, and hurriedly echoed Zheng Yi with a smile.

Historians have checked the official history and found no eminent monk who received the imperial cassock in the Ming Dynasty.Looking at the blank relic stele in this way, it is inevitable to remind people that engraving the year name "Jianwen" on the owner of the tomb is tantamount to revealing his identity, and engraving the year name "Yongle" is tantamount to a great humiliation. Do not write.

What a temple of loyalty, what a sacred heart!
It's not what Mr. Zheng Ge and Princess Miao said, but because the waste Wanli on the dragon chair was first manipulated by Zhang Juzheng, and later by all the officials and parties, and nothing went well in matters such as establishing a reserve. , So he pulled out Fang Xiaoru and told those civil servants, look at how much they swore loyalty to the king back then, which can be regarded as an example of pure ministers forever.

Zheng Haizhu didn't shy away from it, and said to Zheng Yi: "If the general is from Ningde, he joined the Zheying navy back then. Have you ever heard of Zheng Qia, a virtuous minister of the Jianwen Dynasty? Zheng Gong was originally from Zhejiang. I heard that When Emperor Jianwen arrived at the boundary of Fujian and Zhejiang, he disappeared without a trace."

How did she know that General Zheng standing in front of her would be Miss Zheng's cousin, but she felt that among all the generals under Yu Zigao, only Zheng Yi was the only one who was more decisive than the generals. He also has a somewhat calm and modest demeanor, unlike the usual big boss who started in the army.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Haizhu covered his mouth and hurried away.

He really deserves to be an obedient citizen who will be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life.

After traveling by sea for half a day, when he could see the outline of the archipelago to the north of Penghu Island in the distance, Zheng Yi raised his binoculars and blurted out: "I can't see the gunpowder smoke, there is no more fighting."

When Zheng Yi's fleet approached Baisha Island, they raised flags, and sure enough, they got an immediate response from the flag bearer of Ming Ships.

Zheng Haizhu showed regret: "Although I was born in Fujian, I only passed through Fuzhou when I went north to the south of the Yangtze River to seek rice and sorghum. I never went to the sea to visit Ningde."

Yang Tiansheng explained to Zheng Yi enthusiastically: "General Zheng, Miss Zheng came up with the idea. She saw us in Taiwan using bamboo baskets to pack soil and pile up fortifications, so she came up with a plan. After we went to the island, we deceived the Dutch People asked us to do this kind of fortification. Because we cut down bamboo, we can bury hollow bamboo joints in the middle of the mud balls of bamboo baskets and stuff them with gravel. Black powder is afraid of moisture, and we don’t have gun barrels in our hands. The Dutch So let us move the gunpowder barrel from the ship to the island with confidence. When Mabel cried to divert the attention of the sailors, we hid a barrel of gunpowder. A small part of the gunpowder was ground and soaked in water, soaked the hemp rope we used to tie clothes, and dried After it dries, it is used as a fuse, and the remaining gunpowder is poured into the bamboo tube and pressed firmly with soil. The bamboo ball was originally made of hemp rope and used as a handle for easy movement, so the Dutch will not be suspicious of the fuse.”

Before Yan Siqi could speak again, Yang Tiansheng had already gnawed on his dry food and strode up to Zheng Haizhu.

After holding his breath for a closer look, he added: "There are two white-sailed foreign ships on the shore, the masts are gone. The others are all open ships. Yan Xuanfu is very powerful, and he brought so many ships. From our source Luowan The two big red-haired boats that escaped are not in Penghu."

When they came to the half-built bunker made by the Dutch, they saw broken bamboo pieces, crimson blood, and scorched explosion traces all over the ground outside a few large bamboo baskets that were still intact.

But Zheng Yi, having seen Zheng Haizhu's actions this time, really no longer believes that this woman is an idiot with a brain all the way. He couldn't judge whether some of her words were true or false, so he softened his expression and said, "Where is the girl?" In other words, Zheng himself was born in the war, and he would not look down on merchants and craftsmen. Without you, where would the swords, guns, hooks, and firearms that our sailors use come from?"

Zheng Yi stared at the scene in front of him, then turned around to look at the sea surface where the battleship was moored, and said curiously: "The artillery on Yan Xuanfu's ship can't hit this far, can it?"

Fortunately, there are so many fools in the world who will regard this as an act of benevolence and righteousness by the descendants of that thief Zhu Di, and think that Jianwen's bloodline and Jing Nan's orphan should let go of their grievances and be grateful for them.

Zheng Yi sneered secretly.

Zheng Yi wanted to test it out, so he pretended to be startled, and then showed a cold expression, and said in a low voice: "Miss Zheng, I was born as a recruiter, she is proficient in pen and ink, and knows little about literature and history. I am a public, but I still know the year of Jianwen. The ancestors were definitely not accompanied by officials who accompanied Emperor Jianwen. Hey, Miss Zheng, your surname is also Zheng, could it be that your family is..."

Zheng Yi already understood when he heard his gesturing to this point.

Yang Tiansheng also pointed to the mountainside happily and said: "Yes, Miss Zheng taught a good trick. The place where many people from our Yan family army were supposed to be destroyed, turned out to be a grave that the Dutch dug for themselves. Let's go, take you Take a look."

The current Emperor Wanli had rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru and other courtiers, and restored the reign title of Emperor Jianwen. The literati in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the Donglin School, were able to discuss this old matter of the previous dynasty.

"Oh," Zheng Haizhu said pleasantly, "A senior I respect very much in Songjiang, whose surname is Miao, is a female family member of a virtuous family in the city, and is also from Ningde."

Zheng Haizhu then took the initiative to chatter and said: "General Zheng, I am from Longxi, Zhangzhou. I don't know where your honor is from?"

Zheng Haizhu was originally a curious question about historiography, seeing Zheng Yi's displeasure, he reckoned that lieutenant generals should be conservative and avoid talking about such secrets, so he waved his hands again and again, and said truthfully: "No, no, Neither is my family. To tell you the truth, it’s just that Long Live Sacred Heart is magnanimous. After the Biaozhong Shrine was built in Nanjing, I heard Jiangnan scholars talk about Zheng Gong’s loyalty and resourcefulness. Cough, we businessmen are such lovers The general is not to blame for his inquisitive nature."

Zheng Yi smiled: "My family is in Funing Prefecture, Ningde County. Although I can be considered a Fujianese, I was in the Zhejiang camp back then."

Zheng Haizhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around again, looking for Yang Tiansheng and other Ming soldiers pretending to be Chinese slave labor.

Zheng Haizhu looked at the hemp rope around his waist that had become extremely thin, and smiled and said, "Looking at you, I knew that your tricks have also become."

"Don't worry, Mabel is not injured, she is very smart, she just came out of the woods when we tied up the captives, she must have been exhausted from fear, and now she is asleep in the tent."

Zheng Yi was stunned, he didn't expect that the niece who was not familiar with him suddenly mentioned his ancestor Zheng Qia.

Could it be that the uncle who was allowed to move out of the Zheng family after taking a poisonous oath had actually revealed his life experience to his nephews?

As a modern person majoring in the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, she certainly knows that there is a relatively mainstream view in the historian circles that Zhu Di captured the city of Nanjing during the Battle of Jingnan in the early Ming Dynasty. The ministers and the pro-military hid in the mountainous area where Zhejiang and Fujian meet.Archeology shows that in front of an ancient Ming Dynasty tomb in Shangjinbei, Ningde, the shape is obviously beyond that of ordinary eminent monks. The inscription on the stupa strangely does not have the dynasty name engraved on it.

"Brother, where's Mabel?" Zheng Haizhu asked hurriedly.

Zheng Yi nodded slightly, and said softly: "Outsiders see our famous prefectures and counties in Fujian, either Zhangquan and Zhangzhou, where merchants are bustling, or the four islands of Jinsha, Haitan, and Penghu, which are contested by military strategists. However, Ningde is the only one. Where is the hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Has Miss Zheng been to Ningde?"

Zheng Haizhu thought, if he would build a heavy-duty matchlock gun later and supply it to the Fujian Navy, he would often come to Xiamen to investigate and ask generals like Zheng Yi about their operating experience. In the factory, continue to chat and get close.

Zheng Haizhu was very interested in this inference of the historian and kept it in his heart.It's just that after time travel, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in Zhangzhou, so I didn't connect my "Zheng" surname with Zheng Qia's descendants.

The current situation in Penghu shows that Ruffin's flagship and another large Galen ship were either defeated by the Ming army after another exchange of fire with Yan Siqi, or they found that Penghu was also controlled by the Ming army and simply fled back to Badawi Ya.

Yan Siqi knew that she would still vomit blood when she saw it, so she hurriedly ordered the soldiers: "Lead Miss Zheng to Mabel's tent to rest."

Yan Siqi's face was covered with smoke and sweat stains, and the front and back of the iron armor was also stained with blood, but his eyes were full of the victor's excitement.

When the fleet entered the port, Zheng Haizhu and the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy landed in small firewood boats. As soon as they landed, Yan Siqi greeted them.

At this moment, when Zheng Yi heard that Zheng Yi was from Ningde, Zheng Haizhu felt inquisitive.

Zheng Haizhu's regret was not out of politeness.

Zheng Haizhu understood.

After Yan Siqi's gunboat defeated the two left-behind warships of the Dutch with more bullying than less, it was inevitable that they would encounter resistance from more than a hundred musketeers behind the fortifications when they landed.

However, musketeers fired ammunition behind the parapet of the bamboo pile, which would definitely produce dense sparks, igniting the fuse made by Yang Tiansheng and the others.

"Miss Zheng, at that moment, it was as if a huge firecracker was lit in front of the bunker, and those Dutch villains who beat Mingren for half a month were blown up and screamed."

In the tent, Mabel described it to Zheng Haizhu vividly.

Zheng Haizhu, who was recovering, quickly noticed that outside the tent next to Mabel, there was a monk sitting with his eyes closed and chanting sutras.
