Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 129 Leaving Fujing, Soldiers and Horses Arrive at the Spring
In Quanzhou Mansion, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help snorting after reading the letter in his hand, then threw it aside, and said to the person who sent the letter: "This Marquis thought that Wang Shiheng was so powerful, but my elder brother just played a small trick, so he got out of here in despair." After leaving Fujing, with such ability, I still want the Marquis to apologize to Qi, it's just a dream."

The person who sent the letter heard the words, but said: "Third Master, the Eldest Master said that Wang Shiheng's soldiers and horses cannot be underestimated. You must not act lightly on the enemy!"

"A group of beggars who don't even have armor, what's there to be afraid of? Brother is too cautious!" Zheng Zhibao waved his hand and said, "Go back first and tell the Duke, this Marquis will handle this matter properly, so he doesn't need to worry! "

Seeing Zheng Zhibao's attitude, the sender couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He is an old man of Zheng's mansion and Zheng Zhilong's confidant. He participated in the whole process of forcing Wang Yan out of Fujing, so he naturally knew how difficult it was.

In the vicinity of Fujing City, because Wang Yan used various means to transfer Zheng's soldiers away from Fujing in order to earn sea taxes, the number of Zheng's soldiers was less than 5000, and [-] of them were sent to the country by the surname Lord who did not agree with the Duke. Take control.

When Zheng Zhilong was persecuting Wang Yan, the troops in Fujing were not dominant, so Zheng Zhilong himself did not dare to stay in Fujing, but returned to Anping City where the heavy troops were stationed, just in case.

Fortunately, Wang Yan's actions were all calculated by the Zheng family's staff. Knowing that he was loyal and dedicated to the country, he did not dare to fight with the Zheng family when the Qing army was suppressing the border and Guangxi was in civil strife, making the captives Kou sits to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The person who sent the letter wanted to persuade Zheng Zhibao not to be careless, so he returned the silver and the ship to Wang Yan first according to Zheng Zhilong's letter, and sent the army that had penetrated into the hinterland of Zheng's family out of Fujian, but he saw Zheng Zhibao's With a look on his face, he knew that the other party would not be able to listen to his words, so he hurriedly saluted and left, and hurried back to Anping, and informed Zheng Zhilong of the matter, so that he could make preparations early.

When the messenger left Quanzhou, Wang Yan also bid farewell to Emperor Longwu, led 30 soldiers and civilians, crossed the Minjiang River, and headed for Quanzhou along the coast.

The army was continuous, and Wang Yan, He Gang and others rode side by side. He Gang couldn't help sighing: "Master Hou left Fujing this time, and he is far away from the center of the imperial court. I am afraid it will be very difficult to influence the court situation in the future!"

Fujing is now the seat of the Longwu court and the political center of the Nanming court. Regardless of whether Wang Yancheng admits it or not, the fact that he led the army and civilians out of Fujian this time, in the eyes of his subordinates, is the result of his failure in political struggle.

"Have you ever thought about what the Marquis will gain and what will you lose by staying in Fujing?" Wang Yan said leisurely.

"I also ask Lord Hou to enlighten me!" He Gang thought for a while, but didn't have a clue, and clasped his fists and said: "I am willing to listen with all my ears!"

"Mr. Zuo is right. This Marquis has only been an official for a short time, and he is not good at fighting with the court. Staying in Fujing is really a short-term attack on the long-term. He will only fall into endless party struggles without any achievements!" Wang Yan sighed: "Furthermore, Fujian is all owned by the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong can continue to obtain military resources, money and food, but this Marquis can only sit and eat. If things go on like this, the power will ebb and flow, and the strength of this Marquis will inevitably be dragged down by the Zheng family. In the end You can't even gain a foothold in the imperial court. In this case, why didn't the Marquis jump out of Fujian and manage Guangdong Province? The wealth of Guangdong Province is not inferior to that of Fujian. As long as we concentrate on management, money, grain and troops will be established, so why not be afraid of Zheng Zhilong, even if we raise troops to welcome His Majesty into Guangdong, it is not impossible!"

When He Gang heard Wang Yanzhi's words, he thought about it for a while, and finally he couldn't help but brighten his eyes and said: "The words of Lord Hou, after thinking about it, the officials have already understood. What Hou Ye stayed in Fujing is nothing but endless party disputes, and what he lost It is a world! From this point of view, Hou Ye’s leaving Fujing is really the best choice at the moment. The officials are amazed!"

The expressions of many generals following Wang Yan couldn't help but change after hearing his conversation with He Gang.

Originally, everyone thought that they had lost a battle and were kicked out of Fujing, but now it seemed that they were going to a new world, and they couldn't help feeling slightly excited.

Seeing this, Wang Yan slowly felt relieved, but maybe he didn't even know it, and before he knew it, he had gradually become a warlord like Zheng Zhilong.

"Report to Lord Hou! Ten miles ahead is Quanzhou City!"

When Wang Yan was talking with He Gang, several sentry cavalry Juechen came to meet him. They galloped in front of Wang Yan, then got off their horses and bowed.

Hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but look solemn, but the generals behind him all looked at Wang Yan with fiery eyes.

"Courtesy first, soldiers later!" Although Wang Yan understood what the generals were thinking, but as an important minister of the court, he could not act arbitrarily, and said to everyone, "Who can enter the city for me, and meet Zheng Zhibao for a while?"

"The next official is willing to go!"

"The end will be willing to go!"

Hearing this, several civil and military soldiers marched out, clasped their fists and saluted.

Wang Yan looked at it, and there were He Gang, Qu Congzhi and others among them, but his gaze finally fell on Qianhu Dai Zhifan, then nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Anren is so courageous, come forward, my lord Something to explain!"

Dai Zhifan didn't expect that Wang Yan would choose him. Hearing this, he immediately got off his horse and walked to Wang Yan's side. Wang Yan immediately bent down and whispered in Dai Zhifan's ear.

All the generals around saw Dai Zhifan's complexion change, they couldn't help being very curious, but they couldn't hear clearly, they all guessed what Wang Yan said, only the great scholar Su Guansheng squinted at him.

After listening to Wang Yanzhi's words, Dai Zhifan couldn't help feeling puzzled, "Master Hou, is it really feasible for the general to act like this?"

"Anren, don't worry!" Wang Yan comforted, "After you enter the city, you will follow my advice. No matter what the result is, you don't have to worry about it!"

Hearing the words, Dai Zhifan's doubts did not disappear at all, but since Wang Yan had already told him not to worry about the consequences, he could only salute and said: "Then let's prepare for this, and then immediately go to the city to ask Zheng Zhibao for the money and money. forage!"

Immediately Wang Yan waved his hand, and Dai Zhifan retreated.

After a while, Wang Yan saw that he led several cavalry and left the team to go to Quanzhou, so he said to the generals: "It's getting late, the army can set up camp here today, take a rest, and go on the road tomorrow! "

When negotiating with people like Zheng Zhibao, Wang Yan should have sent people who were civil servants and good at lobbying, but he sent Dai Zhifan who was a military student, which made the generals very puzzled.

At this time, when everyone heard Wang Yan's order, they withdrew their doubts, clasped their fists in response, and then dispersed and arranged for their subordinates to set up camp.

When all the generals left, Su Guansheng, a senior scholar, stepped forward on his horse and stood beside Wang Yan, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty has acted like this, but you are not afraid of Zheng's revenge and bringing disaster to the court?"
