Chapter 46 Zhu Tiangui
A small strait could not hold back the number one sea power in East Asia. Within a few days, Zheng Kezang's messenger was in Zhu Tiangui's hands.
Since King Zheng Jing of Yanping was defeated and retreated to Yizhou Island, the defense pressure faced by Tongshan City suddenly increased.
Tongshan City is located on Dongshan Island, which is very important to Ming Zheng.
According to historical records: "When the king entered Taiwan, the Qing government strictly banned the sea, and the coast was thousands of miles away, so he abandoned it without hesitation. Therefore, he was able to control the benefits of Jinxia, Tongshan, and Dahao towns. Trade with the people. , there is no danger of cheating each other, and all kinds of Chinese goods are looked up to by overseas people. Therefore, it is possible to support 72 towns of soldiers with a small island, and the annual income is not abundant, so how can it be worth it."
It means that Guo Xingye relies on Tongshan and other coastal ports to conduct maritime trade, and uses silk, porcelain, tea, cloth, gold and silver, and medicines produced in the mainland to exchange grain, tung oil, red wood, rhino horn, ivory, pepper, etc. , making huge profits to support its combat troops.
Tongshan, the only remaining stronghold, is very important to Mingzheng, and abandoning it is like cutting flesh, which requires great determination.
Zheng Kezang made this determination because "if people lose land, all people and land will survive."
As long as Zhu Tiangui's troops and even the people of Tongshan City are strategically transferred, they will be able to fight back sooner or later.
Zheng Kezang's envoy delivered the decree: "The honorable man (Zhu Tiangui's character) is brave and good at fighting. He has made many meritorious deeds and defended Tongshan alone. His courage is commendable. Therefore, he is named Longqiao Bo. I hope to make persistent efforts and make new achievements!"
At the same time, the messenger gave Zhu Tiangui a private letter written by Zheng Kezang.
The secret letter wrote: "The current situation is difficult, the seven mansions are all lost, and the isolated city of Tongshan is difficult to defend. For the current plan, the army and civilians should be quickly transferred to Dongning Mansion. Honorable Sirs, keep in mind that if you save people, you lose land, and everyone loses land." live."
After reading the letter, Zhu Tiangui felt mixed feelings.
For a while, Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian Province in the Qing army, kept writing letters to persuade him to surrender, and even promised him a high official and rich salary.
To be honest, he was tempted.
Yao Qisheng is a genius for persuading surrender.
He set up Xiulai Pavilion in Zhangzhou to recruit Ming Zheng officers and soldiers, and all those who came to surrender were given silver medals as rewards.
Those who have official positions are reported to the Ministry of Officials and used in their original positions, and those who escape and come back to claim rewards will not be held accountable.
Within two years, a total of 5153 Ming and Zheng officials and 35677 soldiers were recruited, and they were either disarmed and returned to the fields, or enlisted on the spot.
Yao Qisheng is really Zheng Kezang's great enemy!
Zhu Tiangui was also tempted by Zheng Kezang's conditions. He was a fisherman, so he was lucky to have the opportunity to become an earl.
He didn't want to surrender unless it was a last resort, otherwise the original history wouldn't hold out for several months.
Zheng Kezang knighted him again, and he wrote letters to him, understanding it with reason and moving him with emotion.
If Zhu Tiangui didn't know how to play, he would be a traitor.
However, there are obstacles to go back. On the one hand, some of his subordinates want to surrender, and on the other hand, the Qing army will not let him escape easily.
So he told the messenger: "Please tell Jian Guo that I am going to withdraw to Dongning Mansion immediately, but I need Jian Guo to send reinforcements to prevent being harassed by the Qing army during the retreat and reduce losses."
The messenger nodded and said: "Besides, Jian Guo also brought some wine and silver to reward the defenders of Tongshan."
Zhu Tiangui was very moved. Zheng Kezang was so kind to him that he retreated immediately as soon as the reinforcements arrived.
Zheng Kezang has been very busy recently because he has to integrate Yongwei Town.
With the help of his father-in-law Chen Yonghua, Zheng Kezang and the generals of the Five Associations in Yongwei Township have contacted each other.
The commanders-in-chief of the Five Associations were all old subordinates of Chen Yonghua, and Zheng Kezang easily won their loyalty.
There are now about 2500 people in Yongwei Town, and there are five associations under the town, and each association has 10 teams of 50 people.
In order to strengthen their combat effectiveness, Zheng Kezang distributed Dongning Shenlei with a large output to them.
Huang Qing is the commander-in-chief of Zuobiao in Yongwei Town, with profound qualifications. He is the son of Huang An, the former commander of Yongwei Town.
He had heard about the power of Shenlei for a long time, and he often wrote to Chen Yonghua, requesting distribution of Dongning Shenlei, and this time he finally got his wish.
"Your Highness, the power of the divine thunder is extraordinary. With this weapon, I really can't wait to smash it on the head of the Tartars." Huang Qing said happily.
"You will have a chance soon, but before you fight the Tartars, you have to go to my Dongning Military Academy for classes." Zheng Kezang said with a smile.
Huang Qing wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong, and asked, "Class!? Your Highness Jian Guo, you are not kidding us, what class are we a group of big bastards going to!"
Zheng Kezang knew that he would react like this: "Old Huang, the main purpose is to let you learn how to use Shenlei well."
"Besides, you have seen the guards before, don't you want Yongwei Town to become like them?"
It turned out that Jian Guo wanted to teach them how to train soldiers, so he naturally wanted to learn.
"Then it's all right, I thought the state supervisor wanted us to learn something!" Huang Qing said with a smile.
"Hahaha, if you want to learn, you can just go to Mr. Chen directly, or I can talk to him for you." Zheng Kezang joked.
Huang Qing was not used to joking like this, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, please forgive us, we will never learn it in our lifetime."
"Old Huang, stop teasing you, show me the brothers in Yongwei Town."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Huang Qing then took Zheng Kezang to inspect the military camp in Yongwei Town.
During the inspection, Zheng Kezang quietly contacted the system.
"System, has Yongwei Town been buffed by the concept of spectacle and quality?" Zheng Kezang asked.
[Yongwei Town's attitude towards the host is loyalty and has been blessed]
Hearing this, Zheng Kezang applauded secretly, Yongwei Town is the most elite unit of Mingzheng Group, with the buff blessing, it will be stronger.
Along the way, Zheng Kezang greeted the soldiers in Yongwei Town, seeing young and immature faces, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart. This is a malleable army.
Sometimes I ask if the food in Yongwei Town is delicious, sometimes I ask if their clothes are warm, and sometimes I ask where my hometown is, and if I miss it.
"Little brother, your armor is different from others, where did you get it?" Zheng Kezang said to a young soldier.
"Report to the prison country. It was captured by my father when he was beating the Tartars, but my father died in battle. Before he died, he asked his comrades to give the armor to me."
What the young soldier said made Zheng Kezang feel uncomfortable.
"This is a relic left to you by your father, keep it well, and I will give you new armor in the prison country."
Recently, there was a surplus of breastplates in the steel mill, and Zheng Kezang planned to bring more than 2000 sets to Yongwei Town for use.
Zheng Kezang has never been stingy about his troops who are loyal to him.
Zheng Kezang's cordial greetings moved the soldiers in Yongwei Town deeply.
While chatting with the soldiers, he also discovered some problems in Yongwei Town. Their food was relatively poor, their clothes were relatively old, and many soldiers even had no armor.
But I don't know if it's because of the system buff bonus, or because the generals lead their troops well, their morale is generally high, and their mental outlook is not bad.
Just as they were enjoying themselves, a sudden sound of horseshoes rushed over.
"Jianguo, report urgently!"
