DAY 176 The Great Enemy Zheng Zhilong
Those who came to the dock to pick up people were not only Wei Yuan, who was affiliated with the 6th Army, but also Du Dewei, the deputy commander of the 6th Army.
Du Dewei, a remnant of the South American guerrillas, traveled through time relatively late, so he didn't know Chen Huoding. But it didn't matter. Du Dewei already had a crush on him. At this moment, he just shook hands with Mr. Chen with a smile and introduced him with a few words.
Done.
Chen Erye was completely confused about the division of arms within the army. Fortunately, before leaving Hangzhou, he had received hints and suggestions from Lu Cheng, so he now probably knew that Du Dewei was in charge of the elite "Exploring Horses, Not Receiving at Night"
The leader is the prime minister and his own army.
The helpless Chen Erye can only take one step at a time. He is forced to participate in these internal factional struggles before he becomes the leader, which is not what he wants. Naturally, no one can escape the recruit training next:
The second master, who was picking up the board, was quickly assigned to the newly built barracks on Dayuan Island. He quietly packed up his bed and was surrounded by the recruit instructor who read the regulations loudly - the old man from Pingfeng Village and the second master's current boss.
.
...
Those who went to Da Yuan Wharf to pick up the ship that day also included two navy personnel. Of course, so many soldiers came to the wharf. Naturally, it was not because of Chen Huoding, a new recruit... The second master was just a casual meeting with everyone.
, a pistachio that makes a joke by the way. The real intention of these people coming to the dock is to see Wang Xiaohui: three days ago, when this man was still floating on the sea, he had been appointed as the naval representative of the "Strive for the Edge" plan.
Therefore, today's occasion is a little depressing. In fact, the atmosphere on Danyuan Island has been relatively tense recently. Of course, an outsider like Mr. Chen who came to Danyuan for the first time would not be able to feel it.
It is now May of 1628. The most important external work of the time-traveling forces this year: the elimination of the Zheng Zhilong gang is already in the formal implementation stage.
Since Xiong Wencan entered Fujian, the Chuang people who have been paying close attention to the situation in the Fujian Sea have held 2 enlarged meetings and 1 special meeting based on the information sent back by the expatriates. This number is unprecedented in the short history of the Chuang forces.
It is unique.
The current situation is: the representatives of Dajuan Island stationed in Fuzhou have successfully met with Xiong Wencan many times. In addition to sending a large amount of treasures, the representatives also expressed their eagerness to mobilize the people in the field to serve the country with loyalty.
The above actions, coupled with the "general-minded" "staff planning" of a popular person in the governor's Yamen, have successfully made Xiong Wencan make a strategic judgment: give priority to meeting the leader of the gang: Cao Chuan. If everything happens after this
If everything goes well, Xiong Wencan plans to formally recruit the powerful officials and provide official support to Cao Chuan to eliminate pirates of all sizes, including Zheng Zhilong.
Although Lao Xiong is still in a wait-and-see state and has not completely moved to the side of senior officials, this result is enough to excite everyone in the big office - this is normal. Historically, Lao Xiong had no choice.
Now that there is an extra big person to help, Lao Xiong will naturally wait for the price.
You must know that Xiong Wencan in history came out of Beijing with the tacit approval of the court to recruit Zheng Zhilong. Soon after Lao Xiong arrived in Fujian, he started to recruit Zheng Zhilong. The process was very smooth, and there was no official recruitment of bandits in the past dynasties.
The necessary items: repeated comings and goings, bargaining, ambushing and killing - here you can get a glimpse of Lao Xiong's sincerity, and the weakness of the Ming Empire under its powerful appearance.
The time-traveling forces are now able to obtain such card position priority. This is the result of long-term planning with foresight and foresight, and it is not easy.
The news about Xiong Wencan came from the radio station of the Fuzhou Intelligence Station three days before Chen Huoding arrived as a port official.
After receiving the news, Xia Xianze immediately held an emergency meeting.
The first thing that was decided at the meeting was the formal establishment of a "Struggle" plan execution team aimed at eliminating Zheng Zhilong. The team leader was Dai Yun, director of the Intelligence Bureau, and people from the 6th Navy Army and 6th Battle Team were involved.
The next thing decided at the meeting was to quickly respond to Lao Xiong's suggestion: to send "Mr. Cao" to Fuzhou to meet with Lao Xiong in the next few days to strive for an official recruitment as soon as possible.
At the end of the meeting, the main office instructed the newly-formed "Struggle" team to come up with a specific plan to eliminate Zheng Zhilong as soon as possible based on previous plans and the latest intelligence.
...
As early as the moment Xiong Wencan stopped in Hangzhou and Xiong Dao came to surrender, the officials had already deduced today's situation.
The best result that the time-traveling forces hope to achieve is: Xiong Wencan recruits a "fierce general" grandly launched by the time-traveling forces, and confer this person with the official position of a guerrilla general. Then, under the command of the fierce general brother, the coalition forces of both sides will conquer the east and west, annihilating all factions.
Pirate power.
This model is conducive to the future when a certain force takes over the world and shirks the blame: it was xx who was favored, not Cao Chuan... Although this is a cover-up, at least it can be a little more glossy in the history books.
Everyone had already planned the outcome of the next stage: Lao Xiong ignored the so-called fierce general brother's suggestion and went straight to the point of recruiting the high-ranking pirate leader Cao Chuan.
What the time-traveling public is facing now is this next-level result.
Xibei products are easy to find, after all, Xiong Wencan doesn’t know what Cao Chuan looks like.
As for Cao Chuan himself, it would be funny to go to Fuzhou. As the core competitiveness of the time-travel forces and the source of all power, not to mention recruiting, even if one day the time-travelers captured a large coastal city without a large fleet to escort it
, it is impossible for Mr. Cao to move from being a senior officer - this is too important to be touched lightly!
...To sum up, Xibei goods Zhang Dongdong appears.
Zhang Dongdong, a native of Hebei, was an account manager of an advertising company before time travel.
Zhang Dongdong is not handsome, does not look very similar to Mr. Cao, is not wise or martial, and does not know how to conduct espionage operations. So how did he become Mr. Cao's substitute?
Very simple, elimination method.
The first thing to be eliminated is heresy.
What is a heresy? The group of people who criticized Xia Xianze's right-leaning capitulationist line are heretics. To put it simply: the emperors.
Those who go to accept recruitment will not stay in DaYuan for a lot of time in the future. Therefore, DaYuan's current leadership and all technical staff, including those in steelmaking and shipbuilding, are also excluded.
There are not many people left, and we have to exclude most of the people who are not willing to go and kneel down to the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, when Xiong Wencan recruited Zheng Zhilong, the "Five Tiger Guerrilla Generals" he gave were not only low-ranking within the Ming Dynasty system, but also not a good job even within the time-traveling system.
He wants rights but not rights. He has someone behind his back to guide his every move. There are military professionals in fighting and other matters. From time to time, he is criticized by the emperors... He is just a puppet.
To be honest, there are not many competitors for this position, so advertising manager Zhang Dongdong was successfully appointed. Brother Zhang is currently undergoing emergency training: under the name Cao Chuan, with a half-length hair and a fake bag in his pocket.
Bun, practice how to kneel and kowtow every day...
...
After clarifying the person in charge of recruitment and the person in charge of the plan, the team headed by Dai Yun quickly came up with a plan to eliminate Zheng Zhilong after several days of discussion: ambush.
It is impossible to face Gang directly. There are not that many ships and sailors on Da Yuan Island to go to the other side of the sea to cause trouble for Old Zheng. It is unrealistic to expect that Old Zheng will suddenly become mentally retarded and the whole army will come to kill him, so it is unrealistic.
, we still have to take advantage of a certain force’s unique high-tech advantage: ambush.
As for how to ambush, Zheng Zhilong needs to show his face. Now that the enemy is overt and I am hiding, Dai Yun and the others have prepared a series of plans. As long as Lao Zheng still wants to appease him, there is no need to worry about him not taking the bait-getting Lao
Zheng, good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight.
As for the situation after Zheng Zhilong's death, it is the least need to worry - in history, after Zheng Zhilong was put under house arrest by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his gang instantly fell apart, and no one was able to convince the public.
At this time, none of the so-called Big Sea Lords, including Zheng Zhilong’s brothers, had Lao Zheng’s natural ability. On the surface, the brothers would fight each other as soon as they learned about Lao Zheng’s braids.
stand up.
If Lao Zheng is placed in the Glorious Three Kingdoms, there is no doubt that Lao Zheng's commanding power will be at 9o. In his youth, Zheng Zhilong had a talent common to all great commanders: forming a united front.
Looking at the successful people throughout the ages, such as Liu Han, Li Tang, and even Zhu Baba, Taizu of the later dynasties, these people can always clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in complicated situations - at a certain point in time, they join forces to fight.
The boss, then break up the gang, fall out, and continue to unite with the third brother to fight against the second brother... until all opponents are eliminated.
Zheng Zhilong also has this ability.
In history, Zheng Zhilong first united a group of pirates with similar appearances to plunder, using bonuses as bait to trick everyone into going against the government. However, after someone successfully accepted the recruitment, he turned around and killed the old brothers one by one.
There is a historical fact that can make an extremely clear comparison: Shortly after Zheng Zhilong was first recruited, he was rebelled by his superficial brother Li Kuiqi. At that time, Li Kuiqi had already incited most of the Zheng family's original team to occupy Xiamen and brought Zheng Zhilong and his
Several ethnic brothers rushed back to Fuzhou.
At this time, the Dutch appeared.
The Dutch fleet came to Zhangzhou Bay at the invitation of Zheng Zhilong. At that time, Zheng Zhilong changed his previous attitude of ignoring the Dutch. He not only organized a small amount of raw silk to be delivered to the Dutch, but also wrote many letters.
The letter made a bold promise: As long as you help me deal with Li Kuiqi, the future business of raw silk will be easy to negotiate...
The Dutch are not stupid, and subconsciously they do not want Zheng Zhilong to gain power, so during the days when the Dutch were in Zhangzhou Bay, they sent ships to contact Li Kuiqi many times and made a request: as long as Li Kuiqi promised to trade raw silk in the future, the Dutch would turn around and attack Zheng Zhilong.
.
The above-mentioned behavior of demanding prices from both sides was blatantly done by the Dutch, and Zheng Zhilong's envoy was living on the Dutch ship at the time.
However, Li Kuiqi just didn't want to cooperate with the Dutch...
At such a critical moment, the arrogant Li Kuiqi was unwilling to transport raw silk to the Dutch... At that time, Li Kuiqi occupied Xiamen and had a large amount of raw silk on hand.
Days passed, until the night before Zheng Zhilong led the government support to his fleet to join, the Dutch contacted Li Kuiqi for the last time...The Dutch finally despaired, and the next day, the Dutch gunboats took the lead.
After rushing into Li Kuiqi's fleet, Zheng Zhilong had the last laugh with a small number of troops.
The above historical facts are recorded in detail in the Dutch's "Diary of Geranze".
Therefore, the ability to assess the situation, especially in the medieval era when information was limited, and to put aside all likes and dislikes to unite with the enemy is really a trait possessed by only a few people.
