Chapter 16 Little brother, let's do it now!

Zheng Zhilong (Chen Hua, changed his name) had no idea that he had won the grand prize.

If you send Zheng Sen to the north to send a plural piece of money and food, you will encounter such a thing. This luck is really wasteful not to touch the prize.

So, when it was early September, a letter from the capital was sent urgently..., which made him stunned for a while, and he was speechless.

"I can't imagine it, I really can't imagine it!"

Just because of the little money and food matters, the Zheng family got involved in the Songjin Battle. What made him even more complicated was that reading the narrative of the war report, the Zheng family really had the opportunity to change the Songjin Battle.

However, he didn't catch it.

The 20,000 s of grain only gave Songshan City an additional grain reserve, which was a small matter. On that day, during the battle between the generals of the six towns who broke through the battle with the Qing army, Zheng Sen led the fleet to rescue more than a thousand soldiers from the tide, which was a small matter.

However, on the night of the 21st, most of Wu Sangui, Wang Pu and other troops fled south and blocked the Qing army and were forced to move south.

The generals of the six towns, eighty or ninety thousand Ming troops, there was a sea in the east, pursuers in the back, and blocked in front, and the armor was everywhere, and the army was defeated. They encountered a surge in the sea tide, and those who died in the sea were invincible.

Eighty or 90,000 soldiers headed south and were robbed and killed by the Qing army all the way. When they finally fled into Ningyuan City, only more than 30,000 remaining soldiers were left.

Zheng Sen and Shi Lang led their fleet to catch thousands of defeated soldiers from the Haitao.

But what if the fleet led by Zheng Sen was not only about twenty ships, but one hundred or two hundred?

What if the 200,000 shi of grain transported to Songshan at one time, instead of a small 20,000 shi? I am afraid that even the timid general of Datong, Wang Pu, would not have fled south with no confidence.

In the battle of the coastal battle between Songshan and Xingshan, if the Ming army had hundreds of warships following, how could the Qing army talk about "interception"?

"Time is the same as fate!"

Zheng Zhilong shook his head, and finally could only light an incense stick for Emperor Chongzhen in his heart.

The facts have been created, and it is not something he can make up for if he regrets it, right?

"Brother, Fusong is still outside the pass now. What if something goes wrong?" Zheng Hongkui said worriedly after reading the letter. At the same time, he also complained to Zheng Sen in his heart, saying that your father was determined to rebel, why are you still giving up to serve the Ming court?

If he didn't get out as soon as possible, he even started working for Hong Chengchou for free.

Okay, you kind-hearted. Isn’t it okay to transport the wounded soldiers in Songshan City and some of the people to Tianjin? He even mingled with Shen Tingyang, who had already taken the boat to Tianjin, and led three bird boats to join them. He transported food and grass to Ningyuan and Songshan, and threw all the errands on Zhifu Island!

Do you think this is a reversal?

"Don't worry about him."

Zheng Zhilong can understand Zheng Sen's thoughts now, and thinks it is better to follow his wishes.

However, when the Ming army was defeated in Liaodong, Zheng Sen took a fleet of grain to Songshan at this time, and the ship also sent many wounded soldiers and people to Tianjin. This was a very tight thing that could have been covered, but because of a series of encounters, it had to be exposed to Emperor Chongzhen's eyes.

In addition, this defeat was a certain fact, Emperor Chongzhen's move to order Hong Chengchou to advance became the key to defeat. Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, who was appointed as the leader, failed to make a decision. At this time, Jiang Dejing stood up again, not to take advantage of Chen Xinjia, but to once again advocated the dispatch of Zheng's navy to the north.

With Zheng Sen, this ready-made example, how could Emperor Chongzhen not be moved?

"This Jiang Dejing is really hateful." Zheng Hongkui said annoyed.

What if I catch the Zheng family and stop letting go?

"Now that September has entered, our army will go north even if it arrives at Tianjin. At that time, it was already snowy outside the pass, and the port was frozen. Can the warships still drive to the shore?"

"Brother, why don't you give some gold and silver to the capital again, and at least turn off the job."

Zheng Zhilong couldn't make a decision for a moment. After watching the battle between Song Jin, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although he knew that Emperor Chongzhen had squandered all the last elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this was very beneficial to him. However, the deaths were all Han people, and the profits were all the Qing Tartars. He even felt a little regretful.

If he had chosen to lead the navy to the north, what would have been the result?

Of course, the most valuable thing in this world is the "if"! If the regret medicine can be found, I believe Emperor Chongzhen would definitely be willing to go to the top first.

"Jiang Dejing is not a mediocre person. Even if the court calls our army, it will not send us to death." Zheng Zhilong thought about the weakness of the Ming court after the Songjin War. At this time, the court had to make up the Zheng family and had no chance of forcing the Zheng family to rebel. "After the Songshan court, the elite troops in the nine gates, the national treasury grain and treasury were thrown away. The emperor now had no soldiers or pays. When he used the Zheng family, how could he have malicious intentions?"

Zheng Zhilong thought about it and then, and felt that the Zheng family could rest assured at this time.

The great defeat in the Battle of Songjin not only caused a major change in the situation between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the deterrent force of the Ming court, which suffered heavy losses, to the extreme of the Central Plains. There was no way to curb local powerful factions like the Zheng family, and they could not even be threatened, so they could only coax them and carry them.

He had never thought about this before, that his political sensitivity and political experience were really poor.

Since he can be invincible, Zheng Zhilong naturally hopes to cause some trouble for the Qing Dynasty. This will make him feel better. But all this depends on Emperor Chongzhen's decision. Perhaps he changed his mind again after his eyes turned!

"No matter this, the result of the capital is. Let Zhipeng go to the head of the capital first and buy some grain and grass to send it to Zhifu Island." Zheng Sen sent Hong Chengchou a full 20,000 stones of grain, but he no longer headed the head of the capital. The grain stored on Zhifu Island may have reached its bottom.

"Send someone to travel to Tianjin again. Come on, bring enough money. If you can, the wounded soldiers there..." Zheng Zhilong's eyes flashed with heat.

The Ming army in the Battle of Songjin was all the elites selected from various towns. Although the Ming army is hard to be called a real elite today and is absolutely not comparable to the Tartars, it is also easy enough to crush the mainland division of the Zheng group. These wounded soldiers who have been on the battle formation have not only had training, but also had experience in fighting and war, but are much better than the new recruits.

Zheng Hongkui hadn't thought about this in his mind, but when Zheng Zhilong reminded him, he immediately realized that he could take advantage of the opportunity.

The wounded soldiers sent to Tianjin have all their troops, and the system has long been chaotic, so naturally there is no way to talk about returning to the team. The court is now difficult to connect with Jining's defeated troops. How can they take good care of them and take good care of them?

This just gave the Zheng family a chance. In terms of money, there is no more Zheng family in the world.
