Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 707 Rescue Zheng Chenggong (4)

Zheng Zhiwan never dreamed that Liu Guoxuan would succeed. After being scolded by Zheng Hongkui three times, Zheng Hongkui figured it out, and Zheng Chenggong changed his mind now. This time, not only the problem of guarding the island was solved, but Prince Zheng might be very happy if he knew it. The first is his own credit, and then his Liu Guoxuan's credit.

Therefore, Zheng Zhiwan hurriedly wrote to Zheng Zhilong to announce the good news, and then let their uncles and nephews bathe and change clothes, and then arranged a banquet to celebrate Zheng Hongkui. Zheng Chenggong changed his mind, and their family was reunited. It is a great joy to assist Emperor Longwu.

But Zheng Zhiwan was more careful, he didn't suspect Liu Guoxuan, he wondered if the uncle and nephew were playing some kind of gossip, for example, pretending to surrender, and then waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Because he felt that this matter was too strange, Prince Zheng used all kinds of tricks before and used all kinds of means. He was very powerful, coerced and lured, and he was more eloquent than Liu Guoxuan, but he didn't impress the two uncles and nephews.In the end, Prince Zheng had no choice but to lock them here, and this Liu Guoxuan was scolded a few times, and the matter was a success, which cannot but be suspected.

Therefore, when Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong were away, Zheng Zhiwan expressed his doubts to Liu Guoxuan, Zheng Ming, and Zheng Xing.

Zheng Ming and Zheng Xing nodded. The two brothers said that we share the same feeling and are going to talk to adults about it.

These Liu Guoxuan had already prepared for them, knowing that they would suspect this, so he said: "Don't worry about it, three adults. Your worries are not unreasonable, and this matter is easy to handle. The plan is made by me, and I will definitely do it. Be responsible to the end. Before their uncles and nephews meet with Prince Zheng, I will be inseparable from their uncles and nephews, to put it a bit exaggerated, we will eat at the same table, and sleep at the same bed, to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Thank you, General Liu." The three of them were delighted.

After the banquet was over, Liu Guoxuan left the sight of Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Ming and Zheng Xing, and accompanied his uncle and nephew to their camp to rest.

Zheng Hongkui's sleeping tent, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong, Liu Guoxuan, and Li Quan and Liu Chunhong who have undergone simple makeup are all there.

Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew now understand that this is all planned by His Majesty Zhu Yousong. Liu Guoxuan has surrendered to Ming Dynasty, and the three generals brought 500 people undercover to rescue them.

The uncle and nephew were overjoyed, the five of them gathered together, plotted for more than half an hour and then dispersed.

It was the middle of the night, and the sky was full of stars. In Liu Guoxuan's defense area on Kinmen Island, Li Quan, who had undergone simple make-up, took two sailors and drove a small boat, left Kinmen Island, and disappeared into the night.

Around the fourth watch, Ye Xiaozhou landed on Xiamen Island after passing the signal, and Li Quan came to see Zhu Yousong after landing.

Waiting is always a torment.During the few days when Zhu Yousong sent Liu Guoxuan away, Zhu Yousong kept this matter in mind.

He has not sent troops to Kinmen Island, just waiting for Liu Guoxuan's result.However, he believes that Liu Guoquan, Li Quan, and Liu Chunhong are wise, courageous and cautious. He has planned this strategy for many days, and there should be no major mistakes.

Zhu Yousong has not been idle these days, but has sent people to watch closely. Hundreds of warships are ready for the movements on Jinmen Island and are on standby at any time. Arrived in about an hour.

However, as the emperor of a country, what he is now concerned about is not just the matter of Jinmen Island, but the overall situation of the entire war.The two teams on the road were also constantly reporting news to him.

Now Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are in full swing, and they have reached Tingzhou (that is, the area around Sanming City, Fujian Province in later generations), which is not far from Fuzhou.But this was an army that suddenly arrived from Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang Province, led by Hou Xun, with [-] troops, and wanted to attack Zhang Xianzhong's rear.

Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to divide his troops to resist the enemy, and reported the matter to Zhu Yousong.

As soon as Zhu Yousong heard it, he knew that it was Zhu Yihai, king of Lu, who made the move. Hou Xun was a serious offender of the court, and his father and son were both members of the Donglin Party, who had always opposed the court.Zhu Yousong killed his son Hou Fangyu, and Hou Xun ran away and joined Lu Wang Zhu Yihai.

Just this time, taking the opportunity of his royal conquest, Zhu Yousong sent a decree to Zhang Xianzhong, asking him to divide his troops to wipe out Hou Xun's troops, and then gave a decree to Shi Kefa who stayed in Nanjing, announcing that As the judge, Zhu Yihai dispatched the three princes of Jiangyin to lead troops to attack Zhejiang and cooperate with Zhang Xianzhong to encircle and suppress Lu Wang Zhu Yihai.

Here Zhang Xianzhong sent general Li Dingguo to lead 3 troops to the east to deal with Hou Xun's 5 horses, and he led the main force to continue to attack Tingzhou, because Fuzhou is after Tingzhou Prefecture.

Just after dealing with Zhang Xianzhong's troops, someone came to report to Zhu Yousong. Li Zicheng's troops are also in some trouble now. Starting from Meizhou, their army was in full swing and attacked several states in a row. County, but when they arrived in Hua'an County, they encountered a formidable enemy, and that was Shi Lang, a young general in his 20s.

The two sides fought fiercely in Hua'an County, each winning or losing.

At this time, someone attacked the back of Li Zicheng's army, the grain and grass were robbed, and the warehouse was burned.Later, Li Zicheng found out clearly that this was the work of a group of bandits, who belonged to Paomaling in Tortoiseshell Mountain, so Li Zicheng had to stop and raid the mountain to destroy the village.

Unexpectedly, this group of bandits are not ordinary bandits. The king of the mountain is named Yao Dadao, and there are more than 1000 bandits gathered on the mountain, especially this Yao Dadao, who is proficient in all eighteen martial arts. With a machete of three pavilions, Li Zicheng was defeated in a row, and several generals under him.

In this way, Shi Lang blocked the way before Li Zicheng, and Yao Dadao made trouble later, and the army was blocked in Huai'an and stagnated.

Of course Zhu Yousong knew about Shi Lang. Emperor Kangxi mainly relied on this man to recover Taiwan. He was a famous military strategist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.As for who this Yao Dadao is, it is still unclear, but Zhu Yousong speculates that the several generals who can defeat Li Zicheng in a row are not simple mountain thieves.

One Shi Lang is enough for Li Zicheng to deal with, and with the addition of Yao Dadao, it seems that Li Zicheng has a tough battle to fight.Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew have not been rescued here, otherwise Zhu Yousong really wants to take the imperial camp to Xin'an, and see who this Shi Lang and Yao Dadao are!
Seeing that Zhu Yousong was working hard on state affairs these days, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Huimei and Xiao Liu were all very distressed. They took turns to serve, and the eunuch Li Guofu changed ways to relieve his majesty. Listening to songs, watching dances, traveling in mountains and rivers, not to mention the local delicacies of mountains and seas.

On the fourth watch of this day, it was the time when Zhu Yousong heard the rooster dancing. Zhu Yousong just got up and hadn't started to dance the sword. Suddenly someone came to report that Li Quan was back. Zhu Yousong hurriedly summoned him. Zhu Yousong couldn't help being overjoyed.
