Chapter 202: Outbreak (1)

On February 27th, the news of the Qing army's attack spread as quickly as possible on Xiamen Island. The Qing army was still landing awkwardly, but the island was already in chaos.

This is already the seventh year that the Qing army entered the Pass. In these years, the Qing army destroyed the Hongguang Dynasty, Lu Wang Jianguo, Longwu Dynasty, Shaowu Dynasty, and chased Lu Jianguo Dynasty back and forth.

The Yongli court was forced to the southwest and occupied most of China's territory. However, Xiamen Island was isolated overseas. Even if Zheng Zhilong, the leader of the Zheng Group, was plundered from the capital, Zheng Cai first and then Zheng Chenggong were not the Qing Dynasties.

within reach of the military.

It is undeniable that the people here have found some peace in these troubled times. Even if brothers Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian ordered General Zhang Yunfei to plunder the people on the island for military supplies, at least they have not been reduced to "keeping one's head"

For the sake of "no hair, no hair, no hair", many people are still willing to work hard to support themselves, as long as they live up to the dress and civilization of their ancestors.

However, with the sudden arrival of the Qing army, fear spread across this troubled pure land, and the people cried and howled. The only way to release the fear from their hearts was through this, and more people chose to rush to various places on the island.

At the dock, he grabbed the boat and ran away.

The dock west of Zhongzuosuo City is the southwest end of Xiamen Island. The news of the Qing army's landing on the island has not spread here yet, but some people have already begun to organize ships to move warehouses and inventories from Zhongzuosuo City.

The Ming army and civilians in the brigade moved boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry from the bank to carts, all the way to the dock, and then hurriedly moved them onto a large ship belonging to Zheng Zhiwan, the local official of Guanzhong Zuosuo.

During the boat trip, a box fell to the ground, the lock cracked, the box lid shook open, and ingot after ingot of gold scattered on the ground. Under the sunlight, it shook people so greedily that they dared not look directly.

"Quick! Put your things away and move them onto the boat quickly."

Zheng Zhiwan was the leader of the generals who commanded Xiamen Island, and the responsibility for the defense began with him. When the Qing navy was discovered by the Ming army, the Ming navy who faced the battle sent a quick sentry back to report that Zheng

Zhiwan had already made preparations. However, when Zheng Zhiwan heard the news of the Qing army's attack, he immediately forgot all about the military order he had written in front of Zheng Chenggong. He did not even wait for the report that the navy had been repulsed.

He had already begun to organize people to carry the gold and silver jewelry that the Zheng family had accumulated from Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Cai, and even Zheng Chenggong.

The navy was repulsed by the Qing army...

Qing troops landed at Wutong Pier...

Ruan Yin's troops in Qianchong Town abandoned Wutong Village...

The Qing army entered Wutongzhai...

He De's troops in Youchong Town fled...

The bad news came one after another. Zheng Zhiwan could not be proud of his foresight. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and urged the Ming army and civilians to move the treasures. He wished that the gold, silver and jewelry would be taken away by himself with a thought.

The warehouse is transformed into a ship, and you can immediately pull up the anchor and set sail, away from the front of the Qing army. Run as far as you can!

As time went by, the news of the Qing army's landing at Wutong Pier spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout Zhongzuosuo City. In a house in the city, Zeng Ying, a bachelor of the Longwu Dynasty cabinet who lived here,

After hearing this, he ignored the panic of his family and walked back to the room. The seventy-one-year-old old cabinet man put on a full set of official uniforms, then moved a stool, stood on it, and tied it on the beam.

Ioto Bai Ling tried her position, then got off the stool and sat upright on the chair next to her.

At this time, the panic of the family had passed. They quickly packed up their belongings and prepared to escape. They even rushed in and tried to drag Zeng Ying out.

"This piece of pure soil is where I died. How can I go across the sea to survive?"

Zeng Ying shook off her family's hands and sat on the chair again. It looked like she was waiting for the Qing army to break the city, and then hanged herself here.

Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army swept through the land of Fujian and Fujian. Xiamen Island, which originally had only a few thousand households, was "full of clothes and had an atmosphere of prosperity." However, Zheng Chenggong sent troops to assist the king, and the Qing army took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Zheng Chenggong, who was guarding the city,

However, Zhiwan abandoned the city and fled, leaving all the people who were still clinging to the Han Dynasty clothes to the enemy.

It is not surprising that people would behave like this out of fear, but he is the leader of the Ming army here, and he will be brave. As a commander, he does not dare to defend the city, so who will protect the people behind him?

"Even if I die, I will keep this title. No one can take it away!"

Closing her eyes, Zeng Ying calmed down and waited for that moment to arrive. However, not everyone could face it so calmly. More people were so panicked that they didn't know what to do, and some were looking for hiding places in the room.

, some went to look for the incense table and scissors, and once the Qing army entered the city, they would set up the incense table and cut their hair to welcome the "Master Wang" into the city, while more people tried to escape from the city, hide in the mountains, hide on boats, and do everything possible

The distance from the Qing army is one point.

Among the people fleeing from the city, Dong Yougu dragged Zheng Jing with one hand and held the Zheng family's ancestral tablet with the other. Surrounded by a few scattered family members, she headed straight for the dock.

There, a small part of Zheng Zhiwan's moving work had been completed, and there was still a lot left. But the news had spread, and more and more people were fleeing. He was afraid that the Qing army would catch up, and he didn't care about anything else.

After all, when people are gone, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry they have, they belong to others. Zheng Zhiwan still thinks about this very clearly.

"Let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I don't."

Zheng Zhiwan winked at Lan Deng. The latter looked indignant, but there was nothing he could do about it. At first, Zheng Zhiwan said it was just to be prepared. He faced the boss who had full power to guard the Zhongzuo Institute.

There was nothing he could do. When the unfavorable news came one after another, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Zheng Zhiwan. But running away without a fight was against his original intention. At this moment, he should

After boarding the ship, the knot in his heart still made him unable to breathe smoothly.

Seeing this, Lang Deng turned his head and sighed at his lieutenant general Zhou Quanbin, then shook his head and stepped onto the ship. However, at this moment, Dong Yougu and his party had already rushed over. He saw her

After looking at the scattered carts around, the tired civilians, and Zheng Zhiwan who had already boarded the ship, he headed straight for the ship that carried Zheng Zhiwan's gold and silver jewelry without hesitation, taking three steps and two steps at a time.

He boarded the ship, but as soon as he got on board, he was asked to get off by Zheng Zhiwan.

"My third uncle is going to abandon the city. Is it possible that he also plans to leave my concubine and Jing'er to the Tatars?"

Why did Zheng Zhiwan behave like this? Aunt Dong You noticed it at a glance and used it to force Zheng Zhiwan, which also aroused the public anger of the Ming army on the ship.

The expressions of the soldiers around him were filled with surprise, and Zheng Zhiwan immediately broke out in sweat that had just fallen down. He tried so hard to persuade her, saying that the warship was inconvenient to live in, but her mouth was dry.

She just refused to listen and refused to change ships no matter what, so she had to stay on this ship. In the end, even if Zheng Zhiwan ordered her as her uncle, this stubborn little daughter-in-law would not give in. Who would give in?

She changed the boat and jumped out of the boat.

There was a mess on the ship, and it was impossible to sail the ship unless something happened. But at this moment, a troop of about a hundred people rushed over, and then the young civil servant Yun Yanbuzi came

We boarded the ship directly.
