Chapter 213 Family and Country (2)

The screams of the Zheng family boy did not last long and ended, but the Qing army did not stop because of this. Instead, they dragged the body and ran all the way to the north of the city.

Repeatedly, until the lump of meat no longer had any red "dye" that could be used to continue "writing" the "vocabulary" that humiliated the Ming army on the ground, the rope was loosened, and a group of cavalry rode away with wild laughter.

.

"This is only the first time. The Tatars will definitely come again. What is the purpose of Ji Jiangfa? We are all discerning people, so I won't talk nonsense. Here, I have only one thing to say, that is, without my order, Chen Kai,

No one is allowed to leave the city!"

The Ishii Zheng family now mainly lives in Anping Town and Xiamen Island. Not to mention Anping Town, there are also a large number of clan members on Xiamen Island.

Chen Kai didn't know if it was good but not bad. Sure enough, the next day, the same team of Qing cavalry came again with the same formula. Chen Kai went to the city to watch the Qing army's performance.

Then he went back to continue handling official duties, but on the next day, on the tenth day of March, the performance was upgraded. This time, the Qing army did not lead another man from the Zheng family, but tied up a woman.

At the foot of the city, just over 200 meters away but less than 300 meters away, the Qing cavalry gathered and forced the woman to reveal her identity, then started teasing her wantonly.

A group of Qing soldiers gathered around a weak and frivolous woman, making fun of her. Sometimes they tore off a piece of clothing while screaming, and then took it to the outside to show it to the Ming soldiers on the city. But when they saw that the Ming soldiers at the top of the city did not respond, they laughed.

He laughed, laughed harder at Ming Jun's weakness, and then continued to tease the woman.

On top of the city, Chen Kai's face was livid, and so was Lan Deng's, even more angry. Most of the Ming troops defending the city were holding back their anger, but Lan Deng was more concerned about those people.

The Qing army challenged him by name.

"I've heard for a long time that Commander Lan's martial arts skills are the best in southern Fujian. How dare you go out of the city to fight with unknown people like us? This little lady should be regarded as a lucky draw. If Commander Lan can defeat any of us, even if it's a tie, it will be fine."

Take this little lady back to the city..."

The sound was still ringing in his ears. Seeing that the Ming army still had no response, the Qing army doubled down on mocking the Ming army in the city. At this moment, regardless of his indignation at bullying the weak, Lang Deng could not tolerate others questioning his bravery, especially

In front of the soldiers under his command, they ridiculed him as an embroidered pillow and a coward who only knew how to show off. This was a fatal blow to his prestige in the army.

"Chen joins the army. With one man, one horse, and a cup of tea, I will definitely be able to kill all those beasts. If you can't do it, I'll be willing to serve as a military law!"

At this point, Lang Deng was obviously irritated, but the full power to defend the city rested with Chen Kai, so he had no choice but to loudly ask Chen Kai for a fight.

"I'm not worried about whether Marshal Lan can kill all these Tatars within a cup of tea, but a cup of tea is enough time for the Tatar cavalry to surround you three levels inside and three outside.

At that time, will my officer send reinforcements to the back town and the patrol battalion to go out of the city to rescue you?"

A cup of tea took about ten minutes. As the leader of the defending generals, Lang Deng knew what Chen Kai was referring to. It was just such a humiliation, but it still made him furious, and he simply punched the masonry at the entrance of the crenellation.

above, to vent the anger in the chest.

The beastly behavior below the city continued. Chen Kai gave Zhou Quanbin an order to mobilize several artillery pieces with a range that could reach that location and take aim there. However, before the artillery was ready, there was a burst of shouting and shouting from the city, and several young men from wealthy families started to attack.

Climbed up the city.

"She's the little sister of Uncle Jiu's family!"

These young masters are all children of the Zheng family, and they are all close to Zheng Zhilong and others who have never been in the fifth service. Most of their fathers and brothers work in the sea trade of the Zheng Group, and their families are wealthy and well-dressed.

It is indispensable.

On weekdays, they were respectful to Chen Kai. On the one hand, Chen Kai was Zheng Chenggong's most trusted aide. On the other hand, Chen Kai was about to marry Zheng Xiyuan and was Zheng Hongkui's son-in-law.

They can be regarded as important people within the group and cannot be ignored. It is always right to form a good relationship, and even flattery is indispensable. But this time, after seeing the scene below the city, they immediately ran to Chen Kai and groaned angrily.

He hummed and questioned.

"That's right, I, Chen Kai, gave the order not to allow the sergeants to leave the city."

"you!"

The leader of the Zheng family raised his halberd finger and almost touched Chen Kai's nose. Chen Kai, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about it at all, and even said that he didn't take them into consideration at all.

"Whoever let them go to the city didn't know that the city wall is an important military area and no outsiders are allowed to enter?"

Chen Kai scolded, and the children of the Zheng family were immediately stunned. Then an officer from the patrol camp followed the ladder they took to the city, and when he came up again, he brought an officer from the back town who was assisting the suppression. The officer came up.

Zhizhiwuwu, Chen Kai could also understand what he meant, that is, these people were close relatives of Zheng Chenggong. It was hard to offend a junior officer like him, so that was all he meant.

"Lan Shuai, this guy is yours. How to deal with it is up to you and the supervisor of your department to decide on your own. Once the agreement is completed, it will be reported to me for approval!"

According to the power structure of the towns under Zheng Chenggong's command, the chief military officer is the leader, the town has supervisors, and the camps have supervisors. The general is in charge of military law and supervises the generals and soldiers. In fact, Chen Kai did not need to explain, Lang Deng had already realized that this officer was a criminal.

It was a big taboo. But before he could respond, the children of the Zheng family became reluctant. Each one of them belonged to Zheng Chenggong, and they belonged to the Ishii Zheng family. It was natural for them to go to the city.

"Then when we were defending the city, why didn't I see you come to take care of your property?"

"Defending the city is a matter for these generals and soldiers and has nothing to do with us." Seeing that Chen Kai didn't seem to be angry, the leader of the Zheng family children simply accused Chen Kai of being the son-in-law of the Zheng family for refusing to rescue the clan, and

Yili asked Chen Kai to immediately organize troops to go out of the city for rescue.

The woman outside the city had been very good friends with his sister since childhood, and she had no relationship with his family. She was so angry at the moment that she couldn't care much anymore, but those who came with her looked at Chen.

Kai, however, kept swallowing his saliva and involuntarily tilted his body back, as if he was afraid of hurting Chi Yu.

"Look, they can see the situation more clearly than you." Chen Kai grabbed the collar of the Zheng family member who was almost giving an order, pointing to the woods in the distance to the north of the city and shouted:

"On weekdays, there are always birds flying over the woods, but I haven't seen even a bird these days. Think about it with your pig brain. How could it be like this if there wasn't an ambush in the woods?"

This is something that Chen Kai, Lang Deng, Zhou Quanbin, Zeng Ying, and Lu Ruoteng are all aware of, and even Shen Quanqi, who is still obsessed with the injury ward.

The Qing army has no less than five hundred cavalry, which is more than his patrol camp combined. There are many ambushes there. As long as the Ming army comes out of the city to rescue them, they can rush out quickly. Whether the city gate is closed or not, once it is The cavalry of the Qing army entered the city, and it was not that easy to defend the city. In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was worthy of the title of king of the battlefield. Five hundred cavalry swept in, not to mention the patrol camp with recruits everywhere. , even a field encounter in the post-suppression campaign would not bring any benefit, not to mention that the infantry of the Qing army would definitely not be too far away, and if they were entangled, there would be no chance of survival.

For one or two people to risk losing the city and being massacred by tens of thousands of people by the Qing army, Chen Kai asked himself that he was not so heartless, even if the one or two people outside the city were "distant relatives of the chairman's family."

"Since you know that the defense of the city is my business, then be obedient and be your good baby in the city. Don't cause trouble to me, especially don't talk about your young master of the Zheng family. I beep beep. Otherwise, I will throw you down from here and ask you to rescue yourself. Do you believe it or not?!"

Grasping the lapels of his clothes, Chen Kai angrily stuck his head out of the crevice. Speaking of which, this man had been blinded by anger just now. At this moment, he was forced by Chen Kai's momentum, especially when he suddenly remembered Chen Kai's shooting of Zheng Zhiwan. Regarding things, just treat it as an uh-huh without saying a word.

He pulled him back casually, and as soon as he let go, the man fell limply to the ground. Immediately, Chen Kai said "get out", and several children of the Zheng family quickly helped him and fled in a hurry. He was the only one , it seems that he has not gotten rid of that anger, and his anger still needs more ways to vent.

During this time, the teasing under the city had escalated to the stage of rape. Several Qing soldiers held down the woman's hands and feet, while the Qing cavalry leader was tearing the woman's clothes wantonly. There were screams and cries. It is indeed difficult to see clearly from such a long distance, but anyone can see what is happening over there.

"Vice General Zhou, fire and give that girl a good beating."

The order was given and the cannon sounded. The accuracy of the smoothbore cannon was limited. Even if there were replicas of the caliber of the gun in Xiamen, it would be impossible to move it onto the city wall. The shells were fired from several directions, and the hits were far away from those Qing troops. Far away, but they were still so frightened that they no longer cared about behaving like animals. They just gave the woman a knife to kill her and then hurriedly mounted their horses and left. Only the disheveled female corpse was left standing alone. There, it seemed that they were used to replace those Qing troops and continue to ridicule the Ming army for being weak and easy to bully.
