Although Zheng Zhibao was not happy with his brother's decision, he just knew that after seven days of hard work, his brother would not change his mind easily. He stopped persuading him: "Brother, if everything is fine when you go to Nanjing. If the dog emperor dares to be rude to you, I will definitely turn this world upside down."

Among the four brothers of the Zheng family, if the bravest man in the war is the third brother Zheng Zhihu and the fourth brother Zheng Zhibao. Unfortunately, Zheng Zhihu died long ago. Now Zheng Zhibao has taken the lead. Zheng Zhilong frowned: "Fourth brother. If something really happens to me, don't be impulsive. The Zheng family's troops are not the opponent of the court on land. You can take back the officials from the hands of the Red Russians as the foundation of the Zheng family as you said. In this way, I can leave with peace of mind."

Seeing his brother's worried face, Zheng Zhibao had to nod on the surface. Zheng Zhilong sighed in his heart. He knew that Zheng Zhibao just agreed on the surface. However, if something really happened to him, how could he manage so much? Zheng Zhilong felt a little self-deprecating.

What he regrets even more at this time was that his son Zheng Sen was not by his side. He had known that he would still go to Nanjing. He shouldn't have let his son replace him at the beginning. But now it's too late to regret it.

In the next few days, Zheng Zhilong almost explained the funeral. He summoned the main generals of the water and land armies of Fujian and gave him a personal order. He temporarily handed over the military and political power of Fujian to Zheng Zhibao. If he had no time to meet, Zheng Zhilong personally carried a pen and wrote a letter.

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be sick several times and refused to go to Nanjing. Many generals knew it. They were surprised that Zhilong suddenly went to Nanjing. However, except for a few confidant generals quietly advised Zheng Zhilong, most of them remained silent. Although the Zheng family was in charge of Fujian, they did not rebel. The emperor personally issued an order to summon him. Since the Lord General decided to obey, unless he persuaded the Lord General to rebel, it would be better not to speak.

On August 25th, there was only twelve days before the emperor summoned Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong set out from Quanzhou and set off for Nanjing. Fujian officials gathered in the Zheng family to see him off. The Zheng family compound, which had always been laughing and laughing, was very silent today. The air seemed to be solemn. Some officials wanted to congratulate Zheng Zhilong on his trip to the capital for his promotion. He was frightened by this suppressed atmosphere.

Zheng Zhilong's original wife, Takawa, was tearful. This scene was almost like a separation from life and death. Takawa was the original wife of Zheng Zhilong, two years older than Zheng Zhilong. She gave birth to two sons for Zheng Zhilong. One was the eldest son Zheng Sen. The other was adopted by her parents' family. She named Takawa Shizaemon. Now she serves as the representative of the Zheng family in Japan.

Although Zheng Zhilong had countless concubines, the position of the Takawa housewife was never shaken. One is of course because she had two sons, and both sons were promising. The Zheng family's business also required Takawa to endorse the Takawa family in Japan. This is exactly what it means to adopt his son to the Takawa family. Third, the unique gentleness and virtuousness of Japanese women to treat her husband made Zheng Zhilong very satisfied.

However, this time I looked at my wife's Yue: "Why are you crying? I'm going to Nanjing. Not to go to the execution ground."

Zheng Zhilong said this. Tian Chuan's tears flowed faster. Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to ignore it and said to everyone around him: "This is how women are. They want to tie men to each other. But if they really want to tie men to each other, they will feel that they are useless."

"Annanbo was joking. If Annanbo's achievements were considered unprosperous, wouldn't we be ashamed of death?" Zhang Kentang said with a smile.

Zheng Zhilong hugged everyone in a group: "Everyone. I will pay my respects to you when I go to Nanjing.

"Don't worry, Annan Bo. We will do our best to assist the Fourth Master." Everyone replied. Some of these people were uneasy, some were secretly happy, and some were confused. No one could be sure what would happen to Zheng Zhilong when he went to Nanjing.

Zhilong no longer had his mother-in-law. He clamped his legs and rushed forward. Dozens of guards quickly followed Zheng Zhilong. The group splashed the dust and smoke and disappeared in front.

It took more than 2,000 miles in twelve days. Although Zheng Zhilong didn't have to run wildly like a messenger, it was not easy. He couldn't wait until the last day to arrive. The group of people had a rest along the way. They only stayed at night.

While Zheng Zhilong was rushing to Nanjing, Zheng Sen was walking through Shandong with his subordinates. In addition to supporting Xie Qian with the military support, the court also sent fifty special forces members to Qingzhou for rotation training. For special forces members, the best training ground is always the battlefield.

Xie Qian did not pay attention to the fifty people sent by the court at the beginning. Indeed, he had more than 10,000 people under his command. What could fifty people do? And fifty people were not under his command. However, after experiencing a siege, Xie Qian's ability of these fifty people has greatly improved. Now half of the special forces are equipped with rifles. This half of them can suppress the Qing army at the city wall more than a hundred steps away. Many Qing troops have just emerged on the city wall and have not figured out what is going on. Their heads suddenly opened fire and were sent to death in a daze.

This kind of strike was fatal to the morale of the Qing army. After all, the cannons could still see the flight trajectory of the shells and avoid it first. However, this kind of strike had nowhere to be avoided. Often, dozens of guns were fired. The morale of the Qing army collapsed at the top of the city, allowing the rebels to easily attack the city.

In addition to siege and defending the city, the people were also unambiguous. Every time they attacked, the special forces holding rifles were simply the god of death of the Qing army's front officers. The bullets were like eyes that found the officers on the front line to shoot. The Qing army often ended in vain. In just one month, there were hundreds of Qing soldiers who died in the hands of this group of people. Many of them were leaders. Even a confidant general in Kong Youde died under their hands.

This made the Qing army fear the pursuit and suppression of the rebels. Many Qing generals did not dare to force the rebels too close, for fear that there would be a bullet hole in their heads if they accidentally withdraw. Often, the Qing army dared to advance and recover the county town after the rebels withdraw from the county town. Kong Youde was so angry that he was furious that he could not help but feel helpless. If it weren't for the guards blocking it, even his head almost blossomed. This made Kong Youde feel so lucky that he couldn't help but be afraid. However, facing the regent's reprimands more and more severely, Kong Youde sometimes felt that it was better to die that time.

Tens of miles away from Qixia County, Zheng Sen was guarding a mountain with two special forces. This mountain was the only route for the Qing army to attack Qixia County.

Qixia County has been taken down by the rebels for several days. The county magistrate was also executed. The rebels have been fighting in an all-round way. Although there are supplements from the court, tens of thousands of rebels cannot rely on the court in everything. The court can only supplement them with the weapons. As for the food and fodder, they need to be seized from the Qing army. In the past, because there was no base, the large amount of seizure was not distributed to the people, but they could only be burned. Most of the food distributed to the people was confiscated by the Qing army again. As for the burning, the rebels themselves felt distressed.

As the strength became stronger, the rebel army had to have its own territory. After capturing Qixia County, Xie Qian, Zhao Shuxiang, Ding Keze, Du Xiaoshan and others discussed together, decided to attack Laizhou. After taking Laizhou, they took Laizhou as a stronghold and developed the rebel army's own territory.

Laizhou is the Fucheng. There are thousands of Qing troops in the city. Although they cannot compare with tens of thousands of rebels, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's teams have been chasing behind them. In addition, the rebels are attacking Fucheng for the first time. We must be more cautious. In addition to leaving thousands of rebels in Qi, twenty people were also staying to assist in the defense.

It is undoubtedly a very risky way to attract the attention of the official army in Qixia. Maybe this partial division will be eaten by the Qing army. As Zheng Sen, he can not stay. He is the commander of this special forces team. He has absolute leadership in this team's actions. Zheng Sen took the initiative to ask to stay. The team members are in danger. Naturally, his team cannot escape.

Although Qixia's rebel army wanted Zheng Sen and his two men to assist the rebel army in the city to fight the Qing army's attack, Zheng Sen refused this proposal. In the city, his twenty people could indeed play a significant role. But they were far less flexible than being outside the city. Moreover, Zheng Sen inevitably had selfish intentions. If these twenty people were besieged by the Qing army in the city, even if they could rush out in the end, there would be casualties. On the contrary, they would be safe outside the city.

The sound of horse hooves in front came. A tremor on the ground. A member of the special forces soldier whispered: "Here. Come."

"Everyone heard it clearly. Each person shoots the second round later. After the second round, they will retreat immediately regardless of whether they hit the target or not." Zheng Sen said in a deep voice.

"Sir, I understand." Ten people with rifles in their hands said happily. Those who were holding ordinary flintlock rifles in their hands were frowning. After the second round, the Qing army was about to retreat before they could enter the range of their guns. This time it was equivalent to being a spectator again. However, no one opposed Zheng Sen's order. There were too many Qing soldiers. One of them was not easy to be surrounded. These twenty of them were about to become the snacks of the Qing army. After waiting for a while, the Qing army in front had already appeared in everyone's sight. A team of infantry was walking in front. The cavalry was behind. The infantry in front looked at the sides from time to time, and their faces were extremely nervous.

"It's over. There are no big fish now." Liu Guoxuan sighed.

After many sniping, the Qing army also learned its lesson. Generally, infantry opened the way in front of them. The cavalry was at least hundreds of steps away from the infantry. As for generals and above, they hid in the middle of the team and refused to show their heads easily.

It doesn't matter if there are no big fish. Their purpose is to try to delay the marching time of the Qing army so that Xie Qian has enough time to conquer Laizhou.

Zheng Sen aimed the gun in his hand at a Qing army in the middle. He silently calculated the distance between the two sides: "Shoot!"

The gunshots rang out almost at the same time. The Qing army on the official road was in chaos. Their first reaction was not to rush forward or lie down, but to quickly turn around and run backward.
