Of course, Zheng Chenggong really didn't know that Zheng Zhiguan had secret contact with Dorgon while carrying him on his back and taking advantage of the northward trade. He also wanted to take advantage of this plunder and provoke the two sides to fight at sea, thus forming a deep hatred and no longer having a joint force. Finally, it was possible to resolve the risk of Zheng and Northern Expedition Army attacking north and south by the Qing army of Fujian and Guangdong.
In fact, the Qing court was indeed very worried about the situation of the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong. It had more than 100,000 troops, but it was caught between Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong's forces, whether it was south or north, it was afraid that it would be stabbed in the back.
As a result, the Qing army fell into an extremely embarrassing situation, because sticking to the people required the hearts of the people, which was what the Tartars lacked the most.
The previous indulgence and massacre made the people regard the Qing army as snakes and scorpions.
The Qing army stayed there, and its morale was getting worse day by day. This is why Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua discussed how to deal with the Qing court's relocation of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's second tribes to Guangdong again.
The Qing court had no choice but to increase troops to Guangdong, and to maintain and consolidate its actual control over Fujian and Guangdong.
If Dorgon had good health in this situation, he would have to go south to command in person to resolve the embarrassment.
But his body was ineffective, and there were only a lot of generals available in the court. Duoduo, who could be the general, was cut off by Wu Zheng.
Originally, Jirgalang could also take charge, but when he got old and became slick, he stood opposite Dorgon. Naturally, Dorgon could not take the initiative to stuff the butcher knife into Jirgalang's hands to chop his head.
Therefore, Dorgon could only make arrangements and provoke conflicts between Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong, so that he could reach a hundred thousand troops.
Zheng Chenggong understood that what Chen Yonghua said was right. Instead of fighting with Wu and causing Jieyang to fall, it would be better to lead the navy back to Chaoyang.
So, after listening to Chen Yonghua's advice, Zheng Chenggong said nothing.
This is tracing the blame.
If Zheng Chenggong ordered a truce and peace talks himself, then this face would be thrown on the ground for people to trample on it.
Only the supporting actor sets a step and he is silent and does not object. This is the supporting actor taking the blame.
Chen Yonghua naturally understood this truth. As an aide, he was originally taking the blame for the boss.
With this awareness, Chen Yonghua bowed and said, "If the prince does not object, Yonghua would like to go to the King of Wu to explain the misunderstanding, so that both sides can rebuild and jointly deal with the Qing army in Fujian, Guangdong and together."
Zheng Chenggong was still silent, but looked at Chen Yonghua's gaze and became gentle.
Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was not right again, Chen Yonghua slowly retreated outside the cabin door, then transferred a fast boat, inserted a white flag, and rushed towards the Wusong Navy.
....
An inverted trapezoidal face with a cheeky face.
The nervous eyes still showed a hint of stubbornness.
This is a person who refuses to admit defeat.
Wu Zheng looked at Shi Lang in front of him and felt very moved.
When Wu Zheng knew that the surrendered general was Shi Lang, he was really surprised. In history, Shi Lang killed Zeng De, the former general of Zheng's family, and was determined to be rebellious by Zheng Chenggong, and thus slaughtered Shi Lang's entire family.
Shi Lang fell down in a rage and became a tomb digger in Zheng's family.
Historical conclusion was made by him, and Shi Lang was evaluated as the sixteen words "a rough martial artist who has no knowledge, has shallow measurement, and is arrogant and arrogant due to his merits."
But Wu Zheng's perception is different. In history, Shi Lang finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, conquered the Dongfan, and became the last paradise for those who were old and had a wise mind. Zheng Chenggong was in great justice, so anyone who was right with Zheng Chenggong was a sinner.
In fact, before surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Shi Lang was just a passionate young man, and his battles with the Qing army were also remarkable.
Zheng Chenggong was not big enough to provide Shi Lang with a platform to display his talents, which caused Shi Lang's psychological depression, so he had the intent of killing Zeng De, which was a kind of exaggeration, and he had been deliberately suppressing Zheng Chenggong.
In history, the occurrence of the Zeng De incident was not accidental, but inevitable.
Zeng De was a general of Zheng Zhilong. After Zheng Laoshenlong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he joined Zheng Chenggong. As a result, he was not lucky and was controlled by Shi Lang.
Because Shi Lang contradicted Zheng Chenggong several times, Zheng Chenggong was tired of Shi Lang and ordered Shi Lang to recruit troops to form a vanguard camp. In fact, it was to depose and exile in disguise.
Zeng De was a slick man and was unhappy with Shi Lang's hands, so he took advantage of Shi Lang's successful "exiled" and sneaked away.
But if you sneak up, you will become a deserter. Since Zeng De is a slick person, he naturally thought of a solution to it.
After slipping away, he relied on his former subordinate of the Zheng family to directly join Zheng Chenggong's personal guard.
After hearing the news, Shi Lang was very indignant and sent someone to capture Zeng De and ordered that he behead him three days later.
Since Zeng De was an old subordinate of the Zheng family, he naturally had a few old friends in the army and went to report to Zheng Chenggong overnight.
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he was furious. How could his subordinates kill the old subordinates without reporting to the master?
So, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to pass on an urgent order, ordering Shi Lang not to be killed.
But at this time, Shi Lang ignored Zheng Chenggong's orders and directly killed Zeng De.
Now, Zheng Chenggong lost his way. He immediately announced that Shi Lang's rebellion had been revealed and secretly ordered the army to rescue and suppress the Right Town Huangshan, and arrested Shi Lang's brother Shi Xian in the name of discussing military opportunities.
At the same time, the right vanguard Huang Ting was ordered to lead troops to surround Shi Lang's residence and arrest Shi Lang and his father Shi Daxuan.
After Shi Lang was arrested, he fled to the Qing occupied area with the help of some trusted officials.
After Zheng Chenggong learned that Shi Lang had fled into the Qing occupied area, he was furious and immediately executed Shi Daxuan and Shi Xian.
When Shi Lang learned that his father and brother were killed, he naturally hated Zheng Chenggong to the core. From then on, he devoted himself to the Qing court and insisted on becoming an enemy of Zheng.
This is the ins and outs of the grudge between Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang.
Before this, Shi Lang had no other mistakes except contradicting Zheng Chenggong, and had made many military achievements. Especially not long ago, Shi Lang fought very beautifully in Xiamen's sudden attack on a Qing army side division.
Faced with hundreds of invading Qing troops, Zheng Zhiguan had three thousand defenders in the city at that time, but because he was afraid of war, he kept his door open and allowed the Qing army to plunder the people outside the city.
Shi Lang was left out by Zheng Chenggong at that time and was sent to Xiamen. There were less than 100 people under his command. However, when he learned that Zheng Zhiguan was passive and lazy, he led his subordinates to attack alone. Facing hundreds of Qing troops, Shi Lang led his troops to fight bravely and finally won.
No matter which force you are in, you will receive a heavy reward. Even if you are not promoted, you will have to reward your wealth.
However, Zheng Chenggong was wary of Shi Lang's arrogance and only rewarded 200 taels of silver.
This reward was only given to Shi Lang, which seemed to be thin, let alone to Shi Lang and his subordinates, and each person had an average score of only two taels.
Let me ask, who can accept this kind of injustice from the boss?
