Ming politicians

Chongzhen 13th December [-]th, the last day of the year.

At Yinshi, all the [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers gathered at Wuliqiao. At this moment, everything was completely silent, and the surrounding area was pitch black.

Wuli Bridge is four miles away from Zheng Zhilong's residence and six miles away from the military camp. General He Renlong led [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers to station here. General Xiong Zijian led [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers. The mansion launches an attack.Every soldier knew the topography of Zheng Zhilong's mansion, and engraved the topography in his mind. This is something that cannot be ignored, otherwise he may pay the price in blood.

The time has come to divide the troops.

"Master He, back then Master Supervisor led four thousand soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to face nearly fifty thousand rogues without retreating a single step. It was precisely because of that perseverance that he protected the Central Capital and wiped out tens of thousands of rogues in one fell swoop. Today's situation , is even more dangerous, Mr. He leads two thousand soldiers to fight against one hundred thousand soldiers, I still say the same thing, if the situation is not right, retreat to the mansion immediately." [

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely be able to guard the Wuli Bridge."

At the second quarter of Yinshi, the Zheng family's mansion began to be lively, because Maoshi had to go to the ancestral hall to worship ancestors and Bodhisattvas, so it was necessary to get up early. In the whole of Quanzhou, it is estimated that in the whole of Fujian, ancestral halls were built in the mansion. It is the Zheng family, and this is also because of their huge financial resources.

At three quarters of Yin time, Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong sat in the lobby, and all the family members arrived in the lobby.

Zheng Zhilong cleared his throat and spoke calmly.

"Over the past year, our ancestors have manifested their spirits, and the Bodhisattva blesses our Zheng family. Everything is going well. Today we will worship our ancestors and Bodhisattvas, and ask our ancestors and Bodhisattvas to continue to bless our Zheng family..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong suddenly coughed, if it were someone else.Zheng Zhilong would definitely be furious, and at least asked to be pulled out and punished, but Zheng Chenggong coughed, and Zheng Zhilong would not lose his temper. He knew clearly that Zheng Chenggong knew the occasion.He couldn't help coughing, he must be feeling unwell, so he immediately changed his tone.

"Fu Song, what's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Tian Chuan Song beside him was also ready to stand up.

"Father, mother, there is nothing wrong with the child. It was the child's fault that he didn't hold back just now, and the child is willing to accept punishment."

Zheng Chenggong's face was pale, and he suddenly felt nauseous and dizzy just now, which was something he had never used before.

Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong noticed Zheng Chenggong's expression.However, the matter of worshiping ancestors and Bodhisattvas is too important to be delayed. Although Zheng Chenggong's body is uncomfortable, it still needs to be overcome. It cannot delay major events, so Zheng Zhilong stopped Tian Chuansong with his eyes. Actions.

Zheng Chenggong was not feeling well, so Zheng Zhilong naturally wouldn't say so much. In the past, it was necessary to review the traditional history of the family, but now it is avoided.Hurry up to pay homage, then find the doctor, and take a good look for Zheng Chenggong, if there is something wrong with his body, Zheng Chenggong's status in the family is important.There can be no mishaps.

At Maoshi, everyone got ready, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to get up and leave the lobby.

All the people in the lobby suddenly felt the ground shaking. The sound of the shaking was very abnormal, as if it was a large cavalry galloping.

Zheng Zhilong's complexion changed. Today is New Year's Eve. It's time for the Zheng family to worship ancestors and Bodhisattvas. No matter who it is, they can't disturb the Zheng family's worship activities. What's going on today? Who is so courageous? Could it be the personal soldiers stationed next to the mansion? Besides, Zheng Chenggong's body has already had a small problem in front of him.

Zheng Zhilong's anger burst out.

"Bastard, what happened, go check it out immediately, and bring me the person who disturbed my Zheng family's worship activities."

Just as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, several people hurried over, with no color on their faces.

"Master, it's not good..." [

Several people spoke at the same time, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Zheng Zhilong's expression changed, but he remained calm.

"What's the rush, speak slowly."

"My lord, the cavalry from the brigade are coming in..."

Xiong Zijian brought eight thousand soldiers to Zheng Zhilong's mansion quietly.

Zheng Zhilong's mansion is very big, the south gate is the main gate, the construction is very majestic, the decoration is also to the extreme, it looks magnificent, and it is resplendent, if it is not taboo about the dignity of the royal family, Zheng Zhilong would even compare the construction of the gate to the Forbidden City The Meridian Gate is bigger.

There is someone waiting at the door, and the south gate is usually not opened unless there are distinguished guests coming to visit. According to Zheng Zhilong's request, the governor and the third department of the province must open the south gate when they come. Sometimes, The magistrate came in person, and he also wanted to open the south gate. For the rest of the time, the south gate was closed.

Because it was New Year's Eve, the guards at the south gate seemed a little slack, there were eight people in total.

After Xiong Zijian waved his hand, the arrows and crossbows were fired, and the target was extremely accurate. The eight people standing at the gate of the mansion fell to the ground before they had time to speak.

The soldiers moved quickly, and 30 people entered through the small door that was concealed on the side of the south gate. They swung their knives and killed two people who hadn't reacted inside the door, and quickly opened the south gate.

According to the prior deployment, an officer led 3000 people, rode into the south gate, and headed for the barracks in the north. An officer led 3000 soldiers and rode toward the south pier. Waiting on the outside, quickly divided into four teams, guarding the four gates in the southeast, northwest, Xiong Zijian personally led [-] people, rushed towards the lobby.

The Zheng family's mansion is indeed very big. Xiong Zijian, who led the attack, was almost distracted. How much money is needed to build such a luxurious mansion. No wonder the Zheng family is said to be rich as an enemy.

Zheng Zhilong already knew that great changes had taken place in the mansion, and someone attacked.

When he was furious, Zheng Zhilong didn't care about thinking so much. There were five hundred soldiers around him. These soldiers were all brave and good at fighting. They followed around for a long time, and they were not afraid of death.

The soldiers around him had already started to move, some of them began to surround the hall, some began to gather around Zheng Zhilong, Tian Chuansong, Zheng Chenggong and others, and some of them were ready to leave the hall to face the battle.

Zheng Zhilong also regained his composure and began to make arrangements.

Some people dared to attack the Zheng family's mansion. This is definitely not done by ordinary people. Looking at the whole of Fujian, no one dared to do such a thing. , Zheng Zhilong didn't know who these people were and why they attacked the Zheng family's mansion, but the other party was able to seize the opportunity. Taking advantage of the New Year and when the Zheng family relaxed their vigilance, they came to attack. It seemed that it had been planned long ago.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly thought of one thing. A few days ago, someone was discussing that the Xingdu Division of Fujian Province had officers and soldiers on patrol.The conditions of the officers and soldiers of the Xingdu Division are not very good. They are all paid by the imperial court, not to mention very low, and they are also deducted by the officers. Are these people crazy and poor, dare to attack their own mansions and rob money? Who the hell? I don't know that the Zheng family's wealth can rival a country.

The guards started to move, and some guards headed south to guard their families. Without knowing the situation, they still had to go to the pier. Once they were able to board the boat, everything was safe. Some guards rushed towards the guard camp in the north. I went there and informed the guards there to resist quickly. I'm afraid the guards also know the news, and some people are guarding Zheng Zhilong's side.

Zheng Zhilong, who was once a pirate, instinctively chose to let all his family members get on the ship. As long as the warship leaves the dock, it must be safe. The Zheng family's warship formation is not far from here.

After a short period of panic, the situation quickly stabilized.

Just when Zheng Zhilong made urgent arrangements, Zheng Chenggong walked to Zheng Zhilong's side.

"Father, the child is going to kill the enemy with his own soldiers, please get on the boat quickly and leave, my lord father and mother." [

Zheng Zhilong stared at Zheng Chenggong. He was very pleased that Zheng Chenggong was so calm in a critical moment, but at this time, it was not the time to be a hero, and everything was unclear. Safety must be ensured first, let alone Zheng Chenggong As the future Patriarch, the burden on him is not light.

"Fu Song, together with your mother, take the rest of the people and get out of here as soon as possible. I can handle the rest of the matter. Leave quickly."

Zheng Chenggong, who has always been obedient, did not obey this time.

"Father, the child has grown up. Naturally, the child has to contribute to this incident at home. If the father asks the child to avoid it, the child will firmly disagree."

Zheng Zhilong's anger came up. The family had encountered such a big incident, and everyone had to obey the arrangement. If they all wanted to kill the enemy, wouldn't it be a mess? Zheng Chenggong's idea is very good, but after all, he is not old , At such a time, you must obey the arrangement and take good care of other people.

Before Zheng Zhilong reprimanded him, Tian Chuansong on the side spoke.

"Fu Song, it's about this time. You have to obey your father's arrangement. The family suddenly encountered such a big incident. If you don't obey the arrangement, how can your father arrange other people?"

When Zheng Chenggong was young, he always followed his mother and was very filial. After Tian Chuansong opened his mouth, Zheng Chenggong stopped talking and followed everyone towards the south.

The sound of horseshoes became clearer and clearer, Zheng Zhilong cheered up, no matter what the background of the other party, he was going to wipe out this group of daring gangsters, even if it was an army sent by the court, he would not be polite, they all came here After one step, there is no politeness to say. If the family can't keep it, what else can they do if they don't rebel. (to be continued...)
