"The Regent is magnanimous, how could the Kong clan be ignorant? How could he not be grateful?"

In the small flower hall of the Confucius Mansion, Kong Yinzhi sat opposite Wang Aoyong, the governor of Qi and Lu in Qing Dynasty. The two met old friends. Wang Aoyong was also from Qi and Lu, and his hometown was Zichuan, Jinan.

In the fifth year of Tianqi (1625), he was a Jinshi, and served as the magistrate of Yicheng County, Hubei Province, and was appointed as the governor of Yunyang. He was promoted to the Assistant Censor, the Governor of Tongzhou, and the military affairs of Tongzhou. When Li Zicheng captured Yanjing, Wang Aoyong did not obey the orders of Emperor Chongzhen and followed him to the south, but fled to Jizhou. Later, he happily surrendered to Li Zicheng.

He was appointed as the governor of Ji Liao by Li Zicheng. After a few days of taking office, the new boss retreated to Yanjing. Wang Aoyong turned around and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Now, under the title of Minister of Revenue and Minister of Works, he leads Fang Dayou of Jingxing Road, Zhang Shenyan, Chief of Officer Hu Zhibin, Pan Chen and others to recruit Qilu and Central Plains.

So it is normal for him to appear in the Kong Mansion and talk to Kong Yinzhi to have fun. Or it is necessary!

The Kong family still has influence, which is "big righteousness". With the Kong family as representative, his mission can proceed smoothly and successfully.

And in fact, this is indeed the case.

With the Kong family's open kneeling, Wang Aoyong's "pacifier" was completely smooth. He easily settled down half of Qilu. The city of Yanzhou was destroyed without fighting. The prefecture of Deng Fanxi and the magistrate Tan Si had no choice but to escape to Huai.

As for Jinan City, Liu Zeqing decisively surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, Guo Sheng is a long-standing bandit. He has the courage and good luck. He escaped from the Hongmen Banquet set by Liu Zeqing. Although he was stabbed several times, he finally saved his life.

But Jinan City was also lost cleanly. Li Shunjun, who had low morale, was defeated in a mess when facing Liu Zeqing's sudden attack.

The two armies were separated for only half an hour, and thousands of Dashun remnants surrounded the seriously injured Guo Sheng fled in a panic and rushed westward. Liu Zeqing naturally sent people to chase him, but more importantly, he surrendered to Wang Aoyong, and immediately became the general of Qi and Lu in the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Zhibao had arrived at Zhifu Island at this moment. When he heard about the change in Jinan, he immediately sent someone to inform Li Shiyuan and He Yongqing not to have a conflict with Guo Sheng, so that the Qing Dynasty would enjoy the fruits. Naturally, the Dashun army sent to him also said peace. I think Guo Sheng was not a reckless man. The tacit understanding between the Zheng family and Li Shun had been formed long ago, and Guo Sheng was not unaware of it.

Zheng Zhibao responded very well, but at this moment, the Qing Dynasty had become a general trend in Qi and Lu. Not only did Denglai, but only looked at Qingzhou. Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing were like entering a land of no one after entering the territory. Wherever they went, officials in Le'an, Shouguang, Changle, Zibo and other places either abandoned their official positions and fled or surrendered.

Although Guo Sheng and Li Shiyuan did not see any military battles, it was unlikely that they would join forces to fight against the enemy. The Dashun Army continued to move south and rushed into the Yimeng Mountains, while Li Shiyuan and He Yongqing defended Qingzhou City.

Zheng Zhilong quickly contacted Zeng Ying, and Jiang Zhe from Jiaozhou was also enthusiastically prepared to meet new challenges.

Before heading north, Jiang Zhe actually had two ways to choose from. First, stay with Zheng Zhilong and serve as a military advisor and staff member. In the future, he would take the civil service route like his current official position, just like the wise men who left their name in history; second, he would go out. The coast of Qilu is tortuous, and there are too many places to station troops and defend. As long as the Zheng navy is still a domineering in East Asia, there is no need to consider cutting off the back.

Jiang Zhe chose the second route without much consideration, and between Chengshanjiao and Jiaozhou, he chose the latter. This is not because the latter was large in the initial scale and had many strong weapons and armor, but because the prospects of Jiaozhou were obviously stronger than Chengshanjiao.

The latter is too close to Zhifu, and when it reaches its peak, it is only mostly secondary positions.

But what about Jiaozhou? After the development of that place will not be inferior to Zhifu. Whether it is retreating to Denglai or going westward to Qingzhou, Jiaozhou has great potential, let alone connecting to Huaizhou from sea to sea.

A critical situation will make metropolitan people feel anxious, but a talent can see the precious opportunity through layers of danger.

For example, at this time, when Zheng Zhibao and Zeng Ying were in the negotiations, Jiang Zhe had already sent an order to prepare for the war nervously, and it was a defensive war.

Everyone knows the joke that Zheng Zhilong is "fighting for the beauty with anger". In other words, the only water and land maneuvering power of the Zheng family has been thrown into Japan. Otherwise, Dorgon would have taken advantage of the great opportunity to launch a fierce attack, so Dorgon would be an idiot.

But the nobles in Jinling City did not even send a soldier to Qilu, and they didn't want the saint's hometown. No, not only did they want it, but no one even mentioned it. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the Kong family.

It can be seen that the Kong family is like the urinal for the court and the scholars all over the world. They are used before they are used, and they will be left aside when they are not needed.

After all, the current situation is different from when the Tartars entered the Frontier. No matter how fierce the Tartars attacked, everyone knew that they would leave after all. But now, how could the Tartars leave? Moreover, the Kong family's urinary nature was probably because they had sex with the Tartars before the New Year.

In this situation, Jiang Zhe felt that Dorgon would not stop attacking Helu Li Shun's army and concentrate his forces to attack Qilu first. Dorgon was mentally retarded.

And Dorgon is obviously not a mentally retarded.

Judging only from some of his actions after the Tartars entered the pass, Dorgon was not only not mentally retarded, but also a master. He was very good at judging the situation and following the situation. On the contrary, his boss Zheng Zhilong has been making trouble recently.

Jiang Zhe was not disappointed with Zheng Zhilong at all because he could predict that the every move of Annan Hou had special significance.

The Zheng family has already restrained a lot of the Qing Dynasty. If the water and army in their hands are piled up in Qilu again, how could the Tartars easily pacify half of Qilu and stare at Donglu?

If the Tartars cannot continue to grow, they will always maintain their advantage in hard power and maintain their advantage in combat against Li Zicheng against the Southern Ming Dynasty. Will Zheng Zhilong still watch Emperor Chongzhen restore the Central Plains in the north, pacify the world, and promote the Ming Dynasty again? Then he raises his flag to rebel and meets the Ming Dynasty? It is impossible to use his toes.

It must be that the Tartars had a great advantage and beat the Ming Dynasty to death. Then the Zheng family brought large troops into the Central Plains, annihilated the Tartars, and reorganized the rivers and mountains. In this way, the Zheng family won the country without losing their righteousness, and Zhu Ming could stop here.

He felt that Zheng Zhilong would not be able to accomplish anything in less than a year or two. This would allow the Tartars to spare enough time to ravage the world, right?

From a long-term perspective, Zheng Zhilong's "fleeing away" to Japan was a trick to stay out of the matter. But from the current situation, this would cause the Qing Dynasty to seize most of Qi and Lu, causing countless people to fall into the Husiao.

But even the Jinling court did not send troops or soldiers to Qilu. If Qilu was taken into the hands of the Tartars, it would be impossible to blame the Zheng family, right?

After burying all the "big ruthless" things in his mind into his heart, Jiang Zhe began to prepare for the war nervously. Just when he ordered the money, grain and materials of Jiaozhou counties to be concentrated in Fushan front places, another evil news came from Qilu - Hou Guoan passed away.

It is hard to say whether Hou Guoan died of illness or was killed. Because after his death, his entourage, a dozen officials of all sizes, all competed with Tai'an Prefecture to serve the Qing Dynasty. They were immediately assigned official positions by Wang Aoyong, and now they have transformed into officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know about these things. After he led his army to Nagasaki, whether it was Katsushima Katsushima or Rikishima, Yamasaki Masashi (who was pursued by Nagasaki at the time) were all shocked. No one could have thought that Zheng Zhilong would be so crazy.

At the horse's squad, Masato Yamazaki immediately went to Nobuhirodo, and then Matsuura Shinnobu took his son to rush over a hundred miles, and came to the sea to see Zheng Zhilong, begging him to think twice before he could do it.

"Matsuura-kun, I've been thinking twice before I can do it. Otherwise, Nagasaki had already been smashed by shells at this time. Do you think the two turrets and a thousand vassal soldiers outside could withstand this vast army?"

It was obviously the first time I met Shinnobu Matsuura, but Zheng Zhilong seemed to be an extremely good friend. He is becoming more and more adept at acting.

"Jin Jung, calm down. The reason why Lord Guodao stopped his wife was definitely not out of malicious intentions. It was because the general tried to lock the country's order several times. How dare ordinary people disrespect it?

Although Takawa is your wife, he is also a Japanese. You should also understand the difficulties of You Guoshima." Matsuura Shinnobu said sincerely.

Zheng Zhilong smiled coldly, "Tanchuan has married into the Zheng family, and that is the Zheng family, not a Japanese. I, Zheng Zhilong, are Chinese, and Takawa is also Chinese. Don't tell me the bad luck. Katsushima Katsushima held people and didn't let them go. Don't think I don't know what he was trying to do. Isn't it just to take a handle? When I sent someone to pick them up (the third year of Chongzhen), the shogunate was not closed to the country yet. Didn't I find a bullshit reason to make excuses? At that time, Zheng Zhilong was not full of wings, and Takawa was pregnant, so I wouldn't argue with you. But now I, Zheng Zhilong, have hundreds of thousands of water and army troops. If my wife and children still cannot protect my wife and children, then what kind of face can I stand in this world?"

"You go back and tell Katsushima Guoshima to hand over Takawa and his son honestly, and my father-in-law, together with him. I will spare him this time. Otherwise, I would have overturned Nagasaki. Saga Fan (Guoshima family) and Edo, I will go and greet you, I want the whole of Japan to be uneasy!"

"Baga!"

"Zheng Zhilong, a little pirate, dares to disrespect the general and dare to disrespect us Yamato. He is too arrogant."

Shinnobu Matsuura was frightened by Zheng Zhilong's threat and quickly returned to Nagasaki to report to Katsushima Katsushima, who was furious after hearing this. Zheng Zhilong's former identity and his threat made Katsushima Katsushima feel a deep shame.

"Your Excellency, Zheng Zhilong only gives us one day to consider. He also said that we must ensure the stability of Takawa and his son, the safety of the Weng family, and the safety of all the Chinese and Chinese people in Nagasaki. If one person suffers losses in property and life due to our unfriendly actions, he will pay a hundred times, a thousand times, and a thousand times the price!"

"Baga, Baga, Baga." Katsushima Katsushima was the first-class powerful vassal lord of the Western Kingdom. The Saga vassal Ishigao was more than 370,000 yuan. When did he suffer such humiliation?

He pulled out the sword from his waist, and then split the table in front of him into parts. "Damn Zheng Zhilong, I want to kill him!"
