Chapter 652 Ruthless

Zheng Zhibao was still in Anping City to appease the senior leaders of the Zheng family. If they want to control the Zheng family's fleet, they must appease these senior leaders, lure them into benefits, give them benefits, and make these officers and soldiers benefit, and then work hard for them.

This is actually quite easy, because the Zheng family is actually a pirate, and it is not a big deal to encourage them to rebel and rob. The key is to benefit them.

Zheng Zhilong had already obtained what he wanted, that is, he was named King of Lu, and enjoyed the offerings of the people of the King of Lu for generations. He could do nothing, and all enjoyed glory and wealth, so he successfully handed over his rights and prepared to go to Lu to become a vassal.

Of course, Zheng Zhibao was also afraid that Zheng Zhilong was just a suspicious plan, so he sent a battalion soldiers to protect him to prevent him from colluding with his old subordinates and repeatedly.

The Zheng family was originally composed of pirates, which determines that the structure between them is so profit-oriented. If there is profit, you can unite everyone and gather them together. Whoever has a strong fist can let others listen to you and work hard for you.

Zheng Zhibao is now trying to establish his own authority and establish his own status in the Zheng family. There are only a few aspects in this regard. One is to exercise power. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. The other is to give benefits to others. As long as you obey me and do things for me, I can guarantee you to be rich and prosperous. That's how they can do things for them with confidence.

Zheng Zhibao met with batches of officers from the Zheng family, understood their movements, and made promises and guarantees to them.

And he could only issue an edict in the Zheng family's Catholic Church, using the facilities here to order the entire Zheng family fleet far away in Japan or South China to return here and swear allegiance to himself.

The Zheng family has an extremely large network. The focus of their Zheng family was on the opposite island. Since Yan Siqi launched a large-scale platform, they have used this as a base to entrench here, going all out to fight and expand their power.

After the Zheng family was recruited, their strength began to gradually extend to the mainland, first controlling the Penghu Inspection Office, and then entering the inland. Of course, they could only hang out in the coastal area.

However, their fleet patrols were as far as the South China Sea, and it is said that they were all their sphere of influence east of the Strait of Malacca. In this area, all ships sailing on the sea would not be able to sail normally without their flags. Even the warships of the Dutch East India Company must hang their yellow flags, otherwise they would be attacked by them, which shows their domineeringness and awesomeness.

Such a powerful force must be able to roam all over the world, but Zheng Zhilong used the wrong place. He was originally a dragon in the sea, but let it roam in the swamp. Liu Bu decided to change this. He should roam in the sea and establish a Chinese civilization circle.

What Zheng Zhibao has to do now is to make the ship owners and captains from all over the country accept new orders, and all of them swear all their loyalty to him and obey his orders and arrangements. The most important thing is that the Zheng navy is officially reorganized into the Liu family navy.

Just as he was busy with these things, he heard the war report from Xiao Ning, that is, they had quickly captured Quanzhou and were clearing the remnants of the city.

These veterans and officers of the Zheng family were surprised to hear that the huge Quanzhou city was actually captured in half a day.

You know, they all had the idea of ​​Quanzhou. They sent tens of thousands of people to besiege Quanzhou, but they were beaten to death. Liu Jun actually captured Quanzhou City so easily. He was a man who was born to rebel and conquered the city, just like eating and drinking water.

When they heard that Quanzhou was captured, many people became warm. They knew that there were many wealthy families in Quanzhou City, with mountains of gold and silver. It would be amazing if they could occupy some territory here.

Zheng Zhibao understood one thing, that is, he seized power from the Zheng family. In fact, his prestige was not that high, and his subordinates did not obey him and did not obey his words. So when he saw these people being ready to move, he said loudly: "Since Quanzhou has been taken down, everyone will share some benefits and go hunting."

This is to allow the officers and soldiers of the Zheng army to rob publicly. This is a way to buy their hearts. If they let them rob, they will not be able to turn back and will never return to the court. And once they get the benefits, the two sides will be inseparable and united together.

When Lao Zheng used to recruit people to join the group, he always asked someone to vote first, which is called a letter of vote.

More importantly, the Zheng army surrendered them, with low morale and low recognition of Liu Jun. After sharing the victory and gaining benefits, they began to have a sense of honor and glory in this regard.

When they heard that they could go to the city to hunt publicly, these people screamed happily and immediately said loudly: "Thank you, Master!"

Zheng Zhibao corrected and said, "Master Zheng."

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, Marshal!" Then they took their weapons and prepared to go to the city to hunt.

The officers and soldiers of the Zheng family excitedly took the guys and pulled their own soldiers and teams to hunt in Quanzhou City.

They rushed into the city, saw gold, silver and treasures, and then robbed them. When they saw the beautiful woman, they carried them home. When they saw the beautiful house, they killed their masters and occupied their house. They did a great job. This is the life they pirates pursued to be revenge.

You should know that although these people, although they nominally removed the name of thieves and changed from pirates to official troops, they were just nominal officials and did not have the authority to be officials. Moreover, because they were just a newcomer and had a criminal record, they worked diligently no matter what they did, for fear of something going wrong.

The officials did not regard them as officials, nor did they regard them as human beings, but they should bully them, and they should suppress them, making them very embarrassed and living a very cowardly life.

Like Zheng Zhilong and others, their lives were beautiful, but like these lower-class officers and soldiers, their lives were really bad. They were overwhelmed by these officials and powerful people, and they had already endured a lot of anger. This is why some people encouraged to follow the Liu family to rebel.

Now they finally followed the Liu family army and rebelled, so they all started a large-scale rebellion now. Now they rushed into the city and saw the ones they disliked, and snatched them when they saw them, which was called avenge and revenge. Some even took the opportunity to set fire. The entire prosperous Quanzhou City suddenly turned into a fire hell, which was tragic.

The soldiers of the Zheng army were robbing property and slaughtering, while the Liu family army occupied various places in the city, such as occupying the prefect's office, occupying the warehouse, occupying the granary, etc., and did not join the ranks of killing, setting fire and robbery.

The soldiers of the Liu family army have strong discipline, and their discipline is very strong. If no order is issued from the top, the people below dare to do whatever they want, and they will die.

But none of them stopped Zheng Jun from doing this, because they had already received the instructions from the above, and that was all this was acquiesced by the above.

This inevitably made some soldiers feel angry. Why did the Zheng army soldiers have not made any achievements but can acquiesce to obtain such benefits, but they have nothing to do with the city fighting to capture the bloody battle.

However, the commands passed down from above are unquestionable, and they still followed the commands to execute them.

Xiao Ning also entered the city, and he moved his division headquarters into the prefect's office. On the one hand, he had recently controlled this city. After they controlled Quanzhou, they would quickly march towards Zhangzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou.

The Liu family sent Xiao Ning here, but not just to take one from Quanzhou, but to take down the entire Fujian and open a brand new battlefield, which echoes Liu Bu's actions in Nanjing.

Seeing the chaos in the city, he frowned and said, "Ship Zheng! I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this?"

Zheng Zhibao also knew that doing this was actually a loss of people's hearts, but he had no better way at the moment. He wanted to let the Zheng army obey the orders, but he wanted to leave them nowhere to escape and shock the enemy.

He wanted to shock the enemy through such things. When he formally issued an edict to the eight prefectures in Fujian, these people just dared not resist and had to surrender. Wherever Liu Jun ordered them to go, they would immediately surrender, otherwise Quanzhou would be the end.

Fujian is so big, with nearly fifty counties in eight prefectures and so many counties. If they continue to fight one by one, they will probably not be able to fight for ten or eight years. These Ming officers had fantasies about the Ming Dynasty, defending the city, and resisting the army. This is not good.

Since they dare to resist the army, they must pay the price for it. To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhibao is still implementing: Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. If someone dares to fight against his army, there will be terrible revenge.

So Zheng Zhibao said, "I have my own opinions on everything, Pegasus returns to Jinan, and Fujian is in control."

Since Zheng Zhibao made the decision, Xiao Ning didn't dare to resist.

In terms of Zheng Zhibao's military rank and power are above him in all aspects. Even if he comes to the south this time, Zheng is the main and he is the auxiliary.

In terms of origin, Zheng Zhibao was Liu Bu's father-in-law, and Xiao Ning was just Liu Bu's slave. He returned to his original surname thanks to the love of the master's family, but both sides cannot be compared. Since the above has issued a clear order, as a soldier, he will be right to implement it clearly.

As a soldier, Xiao Ning also took obeying orders as his duty. He knew that although Zheng Zhibao did this, he was sinister and vicious, it was the only way to quickly solve the Fujian situation.
