Chapter 200 Die for the country, even if I die without regrets
The integrity is worth commending, and the mentality of seeking fame is not good.
Lu Si did not like this trend, so he did not give Lu Zhenfei the opportunity to die rather than be famous in history, nor did he try to persuade him to surrender, but directly sent the Caoyuan to Yangzhou.
Whether Liu Bao, the representative of Dashun’s central government, was interested in talking to this important governor of the Ming Dynasty, was Liu Bao’s business, and Lu Si was not interested anyway.
When the time is right, this department and court will also be released. Lu Si hopes that officials like Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei can appear in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
A cabinet department is better than 100,000 soldiers, and a department department can also support 30,000 to 50,000 people.
As for Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Tai, Lu Si must think about it. These two people were much more famous in his previous lives than Lu Zhenfei. The former surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with his elder brother Zheng Zhilong, but ended up being imprisoned until death in Ningguta and made no achievements.
Zheng Tai was an important helper of the Guo family, equivalent to Xiao He. He has always helped the Guo family be responsible for the money, grain and sea trade in the rear. Later, the Guo family ordered Zheng Tai to kill Zheng Jing and his mother Dong because of the affair with his wet nurse. However, Zheng Tai did not implement this order.
After Zheng Jing ascended the throne, he should have been grateful to Zheng Tai and continued to use it. Unexpectedly, the Prince of Yanping became an ungrateful wolf and pretended to hand over Kinmen and Xiamen to Zheng Tai. As a result, Zheng Tai imprisoned the person after he arrived in Xiamen.
Zheng Tai hanged himself in a panic.
Zheng Tai's unjust death directly led to a major event that was beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, that is, Zheng Tai's younger brother Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Taizi Zheng Zhangxu brought 500 sea boats and more than 10,000 soldiers to the Qing Dynasty.
This move not only weakened the strength of the Zheng family, but also made the Qing Dynasty, which had always suffered from the lack of a navy to deal with the Zheng family, and had the ability to balance the Zheng family's navy. Later, Zheng Zhangxu also acted as the pioneer of the Qing Dynasty's destruction of Zheng.
Lu Si does not want to have a quarrel with the rich Zheng family for the time being.
Because whether it is Dashun or Huai Army, there is no substantial conflict of interest with the Zheng family at present.
Although Zheng Zhilong wanted to develop his power to Jianghuai, his onshore strength of the Zheng family was not enough to support his big move. Lu Sida could let him go so that he could make a good relationship with the Zheng family.
No matter what, if the Zheng family is not good on land, they are absolutely giants at sea. There is no benefit in tearing them apart.
But this is a big loss. Zheng Zhilong's younger brother and Xiao He, who is a future national surname, are worth something.
Lu Si was preparing to continue to do kidnap ransom, but this time he didn't ask for money, but things, such as iron guns, gunpowder, cannons, etc.
The Zheng family is not short of these things. Even when the Zheng family was at its weakest power, they never lacked them in terms of military equipment, because their huge fleet could bring these supplies back from Japan in a steady stream.
Of course, the Dashun Huaiyang Jiedushi cannot come forward to negotiate the ransom. This is not only Dashun's face, but also Lu Si's face.
This task is still to be handed over to Sun Wujin, but this time Lu Si must prepare the material list in advance, so that Sun Wujin, who was ignorant of the goods, would ask others to use three melons and two dates to dispose of it.
The family of the marquis was not as good as the hair on the Zheng family.
While thinking about what to do, Caoyan Sun Si, who was guarding the city wall, sent people to report urgently, saying that a Ming army was driving out of the south of the city, and it seemed that he wanted to attack the city.
"The soldiers from Huai'an are coming so fast?"
Lu Si was shocked and felt that it was impossible. Less than an hour after he took Anton, it would be dark at the fastest time to receive the news from Huai'an. Not to mention whether the Ming army could coordinate well, even if they were willing to come to rescue the department, they would have to send troops tomorrow. How could they come here just after breaking the city?
Looking south from the city, there was a Ming army several miles away, but the number was at most 3,000, and it didn't seem like they were going to attack the city because they had not approached the city wall for a long time.
"Go and bring that Caodao Road here."
Lu Si asked Zheng Biao, the captured Caodao Road, to bring him the arrested Caodao. After the person came, he asked him directly what was going on with the Ming army outside the city.
"this"
Zheng Biao was obviously not the "stubborn" kind of loyal minister who was determined to sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty, and only hesitated for a little while and explained the details of the Ming army outside the city.
"I think what kind of soldiers are they? It turns out that they are the commander-in-chief. The last general will ride a donkey and rush them to the death!"
Monk Xu was full of confidence. He didn't dare to make a promise to fight the serious officers and soldiers, but if he was dealing with the young and strong gang recruited by the gang, Monk Xu was full of confidence.
"Old Xu, can you not pick up persimmons and pinch them?" Sun Wujin looked down on Monk Xu's bullying of the weak and fearing the strong, so he volunteered to take the flag soldiers to get rid of those guys.
Lu Si waved his hand and ordered someone to bring Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Tai over. After Er Zheng came, he didn't talk nonsense and asked Zheng Zhibao directly if he could make the subordinates outside surrender.
"If General Zheng refused to help, then Lu could only use General Zheng's head to persuade him to surrender."
Lu Si has a bad eye, and he is a straightforward person. He doesn't like anyone to be tempted by him. If Zheng Zhibao dares to say something bad, he is really not afraid that Zheng Zhilong will dare to bring troops north.
When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he immediately asked him for paper and pen, and wrote a letter of surrender to Xie Biao.
A Fujian soldier who was captured by Lu Siming took Zheng Zhibao's letter of persuasion and surrender out of the city. Xie Biao was also embarrassed after seeing the letter, so he showed Zheng Zhibao's letter to Shen Tingfei.
"This is a trick by the thief. Brother Xie must not be fooled!"
Shen Tingfei tear the letter in half, indicating that he would never surrender to the thieves. This made Xie Biao even more embarrassed. After thinking about it, he decided to obey the Fourth Master's words and surrender to the thieves. So without saying hello to Shen Tingfei, he suddenly set off the camp to Andong to surrender.
Lu Si also knew that outside the city was not only Zheng Zhibao's subordinates, but also the sailors brought by Shen Tingyang, so he asked Shen Tingxin to write a letter to persuade his brother Shen Tingfei to lead his troops to sue.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tingyang was very hard-bodied. Even if Lu Si threatened to kill him without writing a letter of surrender, Shen Tingyang was still unmoved.
"Your grandma, don't you dare to kill you as my governor?" Sun Wujin's temper was like an alarm clock, and he said it.
"Die for the country, there is no regret even if you die!"
A scene that shocked the Huai Army happened. Shen Tingyang actually knelt down to the north. After three kowtows, he suddenly hit the city wall on one side. Although Sun Wujin pulled him, he still broke his head and blood.
"Why should Siye do this?"
Lu Si also impressed Shen Tingyang's integrity. This was the true sage. He quickly signaled Sun Wu to bandage Shen Tingyang.
"Don't use rescue, don't say too much! Don't think about Shen's advice to surrender to my brother. Today's matter is no big deal!" Shen Tingyang struggled and refused to let Sun Wu bandage, and wanted to hit the wall again, but fortunately he was stopped.
Lu Si sighed lightly: "A person has the potential to die, either he is more important than Mount Tai or less than a feather. Si Ye is determined to die, and Lu admires it, but Lu wants to say something to Si Ye, why not leave this useful body to prevent the Dongnu from entering the pass?"
