Chapter 72 Leave to buy road money
Chen Zhongwu is not stupid, Shi Lang is using him as a gun.
The reason why he agreed so happily even though he knew this was because he knew the emperor's heart better.
Not to mention three trillion silver, even if there are 30 million or 10 million, he will do it. He will bear the blame himself and bear the blame himself. This doesn’t matter. The key is that these silver is too important to his brother-in-law, and he can do so many big things.
Another thing is that if the emperor's brother-in-law is so smart, he will not be able to see Shi Lang's dark thoughts? If he asked him to write a note to Shi Lang from his heart, Shi Lang would not be able to get it.
Based on this consideration, Chen Zhongwu immediately began to prepare to attack Kinmen after returning.
Seeing that Chen Zhongwu had left, Shi Lang quickly ordered someone to hand over the two younger brothers, asking them to keep the troops in motion for the time being and only restrain the Zheng army on both sides of the east and west. If Zheng Chenggong dares to fight back, then take action immediately and don’t be polite.
...
After Chen Yonghua returned to Kinmen, he said that he had seen Shi Lang. Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, within three days, the imperial edict of Yongli will arrive. At that time, Shi Lang will have to let it go."
"Governor, be prepared to fight. What if Yongli doesn't let us go? Even if the Governor figures out Yongli's thoughts, what if Yongli's imperial edict cannot come within three days? We have to bear it for a while." Liu Guoxuan reminded.
"Of course, I'll order each battalion to pay close attention to the movements of each battalion in Shi Lang." Zheng Chenggong ordered.
"Abide by the order!"
...
Nothing happened that day.
Just as dawn the next day, Zhou Quanbin, who was in charge of the guards of the island north, suddenly heard the horns ringing in Chen Zhongwu's camp, and the sound of killing was shocking.
Zhou Quanbin was shocked. When he climbed the ship stairs, he saw Chen Zhongwu's warship sailing into his camp in two teams.
When he saw that it was a battle formation, Zhou Quanbin was shocked: "Hurry up, go report to the governor, Chen Zhongwu attacked our army! Come on, bring the hull across, wait for the enemy ship to approach, and shoot me an arrow!"
While Zhou Quanbin ordered his personal soldiers to report to Zheng Chenggong, he ordered people to organize defense.
Zhou Quanbin thought it was too simple. His fleet was no match at all, and he didn't even have the chance to fight back.
Archery? Chen Zhongwu's ship was full of shields and could not shoot at all. When he got closer, he threw a grenade over and all the archers on Zhou Quanbin's ship were blown away, either dead or injured.
"What's going on? Didn't you agree not to fight within three days? Why didn't you wait for a day? Chen Zhongwu, I'll make you grandma! Are you reasonable?!" Zhou Quanbin saw that he couldn't fight this battle at all, and he couldn't help but curse.
Unfortunately, even if he shouted, Chen Zhongwu couldn't hear it.
Seeing that the ships in front were blown to pieces, some even caught fire, the soldiers rushed to the ground, crying at their father and mother, Zhou Quanbin quickly ordered: "Abandon the ship and land on the shore!"
When you arrive on the shore, you can shoot arrows from a high place with the fortifications and commanding heights on the island. No matter how powerful Chen Zhongwu's grenade is, it will be useless if you can't throw it up.
With the order, the Zheng army fled one after another, threw hundreds of warships to Chen Zhongwu's army, and gathered them into fortifications built on the shore.
"Roar up!"
Seeing that Zheng's army abandoned the ship and fled, Chen Zhongwu quickly ordered a charge.
Chen Jun screamed, crossed the warships left by Zheng Jun and rushed to the shore.
However, because the Zheng army occupied the fortifications on the shore, the effectiveness of the grenades was greatly reduced. For a moment, neither of the two armies could do anything to each other and confronted each other.
Chen Zhongwu was thinking of a solution when someone shouted opposite him: "General Chen, I am Zhou Quanbin, the general under Zheng Uncle Zheng, don't fight for it now. Can you listen to someone else's words?"
Because it was Nanfeng, Zhou Quanbin's words were clearly heard into Chen Zhongwu's ears.
"If you have something to say, just say something, let go if you have fart!"
Chen Zhongwu was against the wind, and the two of them were far apart. Zhou Quanbin could not hear him. Chen Zhongwu ordered his 100 personal soldiers to stand in the team, and said something himself and asked his personal soldiers to learn something. The voice increased a hundred times, so Zhou Quanbin could naturally hear it.
"General Chen, you and I are not enemies, we are both ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Why should we attack too tightly?" Zhou Quanbin asked loudly.
"If you don't surrender, you will be a thief!" the Hundred People Group responded.
"Shi Lang has an appointment with my uncle and will wait three days before the war begins. Will General Chen break the contract and disobey?"
"No order was received!"
"General Chen, my uncle said that if you don't become enemies with Yongli, you will go to Taiwan to fight the Dutch devils. Why can't you be convenient? Do you have to fight to the death?"
"I have bloomed this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live there from now on, you can stay and buy wealth!"
The voice of the Hundred People Group came, and Zhou Quanbin almost vomited blood: "This is the sea, where is there a mountain, and there are trees?! Can you say so righteously, openly, so shamelessly, I'm afraid you Chen Zhongwu can do it. Can't you be more implicit?"
"General Chen, don't attack first. Zhou will report to my uncle and reply to you later. How can you see?"
"Half an hour!"
When Zhou Quanbin heard the other very brief answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was anxious to report to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong hadn't sent an order for so long because he was also attacked by Chen Zhongwu. I wonder what Shi Lang is doing. I hurriedly sent Chen Yonghua to negotiate with Shi Lang.
Chen Yonghua found Shi Lang angrily. Before he could speak, Shi Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Fufu, you must have come to ask for guilt, right?"
"Brother Shi, a real man should take faith and righteousness first when dealing with the world. After three days of agreement, why did he not attack our army in one day?" Chen Yonghua asked angrily.
"Fufu, don't worry. I've issued the order, but Chen Zhongwu doesn't listen. Think about it, if it were someone else, I will definitely kill him. But Chen Zhongwu can't do it. He is the emperor's brother-in-law, and I can't do anything about it either." Shi Lang spread his hands and acted helplessly.
"Brother Shi, we all understand people, don't write this chapter for you. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Chen Yonghua naturally knew that Shi Lang was an excuse, and was angry and wanted to curse and leave. But it was not possible. The situation was critical and he could not be allowed to act irritably.
"Fu Fu, I don't know where General Chen heard of it. He said that the Zheng family's wealth is 3 trillion taels of silver. Because of this, I was so embarrassed that I said that as long as I don't accept the surrender, I should be treated as a rebel. How could I have an appointment to fight against the rebel? I also said that the emperor is now implementing a new policy and refuses to shave silver from the people. The Qing army is in a hurry. It is time for us to use the silver. We are ministers, so we have to relieve the emperor's worries. So he started a war without authorization. But don't worry, brother, I am a loyal man, and I have already passed the orders. Zhaolian and Zhaoxu dare not follow Chen Zhongwu to make trouble. Also, I have already repaired the memorial and will definitely impeach him and punish him for not obeying military orders!"
