Chapter 46: Gasser (Part 2)
After staying for two days, the ship has been repaired. Since it is not in the port, it is necessary to rely on the power of the tide to sail away. When the tide comes, many of the daily necessities that have been moved have been put back on the ship. People are still using it on the shore.
As he was leaving this place for his last meal, a few shadows vaguely appeared on the sea in the distance, and then they quickly grew in size as the outlines became clearer. Following the wind, they even reached the point where there was nothing left for Chen Kai.
The time to prepare is up to the point.
It is too early to get on the boat because the tide has not yet arrived; it is too late to get on the boat now because even if the tide arrives, they will not be able to complete the transfer before the other party arrives.
What's more, what they were traveling on was just a merchant ship traveling along the coast of Fujian. There were swords, guns, arrows and even blunderbuss on it, but there was not even a single cannon. And the fleet that came from afar had many of them.
There is already a difference in speed between the two warships, and it is absolutely too late to escape at this moment.
The only thing we can rely on is the power of the Zheng Group along the coast of Fujian. But as Zheng Cai's flag comes into view, it feels like falling into an ice cellar.
Zheng Cai's fleet was obviously heading towards them. The fleet surrounded them from the east and west sides of the island, leaving no loopholes. The fleet came, riding the rising tide, and aimed its artillery at Chen Kai and the others.
The merchant ship that came in ordered the sailors on board to put down their weapons. Then, while sending two warships to intimidate the merchant ship, they put down their small boats and rushed to the island.
"The ship was requisitioned by Jianguo Gong. He kept all your clothes. If you don't want to die, you can take it!"
The person who came was very arrogant. If there was no second part of the sentence, the momentum would be enough. Looking back, when Chen Kai went to Zhongzuo Institute for the first time to discuss the military uniform business with Zheng Cai, it was also a scale of tens of thousands of sets. Now it is actually
Being reduced to the point of robbing other people's old clothes is really dumbfounding.
Everyone looked at each other, and Chen Kai immediately realized that they were only here for the ship and the supplies on the ship. As for the weapons in their hands, they didn't even mention them, probably because they were still waiting for them to get frostbite.
After that, you can "subdue the enemy's troops without fighting", and the casualties will be reduced a lot.
After Zheng Cai lost the Zhongzuo Institute on August 15 last year, he once competed with Zheng Chenggong on the sea in southern Fujian. Later, he went to Sanpan to ask for help from Lu Jianguo, but he was attacked by the Ming army under Lu Jianguo's command.
It has been a year. Zheng Cai has been wandering at sea. Life is obviously not easy. Now she has been reduced to robbing homes and houses. It seems that she still doesn't dare to fight desperately. Chen Kai thought for a while and stepped out of the crowd.
He shouted to the visitor: "Please come to the island to talk to Uncle Yongsheng!"
"Who do you think you are, how dare you be so rude?"
"Go back and tell Uncle Yongsheng that my name is Chen Kai. I just ask him if he dares to come up and reminisce about old times!"
Chen Kai raised his hand to block the others' persuasion, and his eyes were firm, as if a thorn had pierced the person's body. Who Chen Kai was was known to everyone in Zheng Caijun.
Not to mention, Chen Kai can definitely be ranked among the top three people who make Zheng Cai hate him the most. Based on this alone, there is no reason for the person not to reply to Zheng Cai immediately.
"It turned out to be..."
It is unrealistic for Zheng Cai to hide on the island and wait for reinforcements to arrive without Zheng Cai knowing that they are Zheng Chenggong's men. The ship has to be taken away, and although the items on the ship are secret operations, there are no signs of the Ming army, but the sailors
They will not stay. If one of these people rebels, their identities may be completely leaked. Even if all the sailors are loyal and keep their mouths shut, in this era without Internet and radio,
Chen Kai had no way of notifying the garrison on Haitan Island and Zheng Chenggong's fleet in time to relieve him, especially since Chen Kai did not believe that Zheng Cai would easily let go of so many strong men who could replenish his troops.
Speaking of which, during the last battle at Zhongzuo Suo, Chen Kai used Zheng Cai's name to prevent the Qing army from knowing the identity of the attacker prematurely. But now he has met the real owner. The original risk has now become a risk
On the contrary, it is even bigger. However, Chen Kai has never been a person who gives up easily. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must work hard to realize it. At this moment, even when facing Zheng Cai, whose brother Zheng Lian was killed by Zheng Chenggong, he must also work hard.
Give it a try!
The news came back quickly, with almost no hesitation, and small boats came over one after another. When they arrived at the shore, the leader, wearing a python robe and girdle, was still dressed as a Ming army, even though the official uniform looked a little faded.
, but still wear it solemnly.
"Why, Uncle Yongsheng is hiding behind a group of pawns. Is it possible that he is still afraid of a powerless civil servant like me?"
"The plot against Shang Kexi and Du Yonghe in Guangzhou City, the shooting of Zheng Zhiwan on Xiamen Island, and the shooting of Shi Lang by the Anping Bridge. As a civil servant, you can never be underestimated."
Chen Kai stepped out from the crowd and ridiculed Zheng Cai, who was being guarded by his subordinates. Zheng Cai choked back, but did not continue to accept the protection of those loyal and brave subordinates. Instead, he strode out and walked to Chen Kai's
before.
"Unexpectedly, you actually surrendered? For a woman, you actually surrendered?!"
In order to move around in the areas occupied by the Qing court, Chen Kai naturally had to make a fuss about his attire. When we met at this moment, Zheng Cai still had her hair tied up and was wearing the official robe of the Ming court, but Chen Kai looked really good.
The villain lobbyist who persuaded Zheng Cai to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
"Why, you are here in this field, are you still thinking of persuading me to abandon the ancestors like you and surrender to the imperial court?"
The more she looked at Chen Kai's appearance, the angrier Zheng Cai became. Over a year later, from being the most powerful leader of the Zheng Group, now there are only about a hundred ships left, which is not enough.
With two thousand subordinates, and being extremely poor and weak to a certain extent, Zheng Cai naturally hated Zheng Chenggong the most and would not be his second choice.
However, although he is now in decline, he still has many connections in southern Fujian, and he still has a very clear idea of what happened there over the past year or so.
After Zheng Chenggong took over the Zhongzuo Institute, in addition to the crisis that the Zhongzuo encountered during the Qinwang period, he subsequently won two battles in Cizao and Qianshan, both in field battles. During this period, he also surrounded and suppressed the pirate Chen Chun who disrupted the order of maritime trade, safeguarding the Zhongzuo
Zuo Suo's status as a maritime trade center and the rights and interests of the maritime merchant class. If it were him, even if he was angry, he would still be far behind, especially in terms of winning in the field. Perhaps, the Zheng Group will have greater success in the hands of Zheng Chenggong.
Good development, and he and his drunkard brother are just two stumbling blocks hindering the development of Zheng Group.
Being so discouraged and out of a conditioned reflex of self-protection, Zheng Cai quickly found a sufficient excuse for Zheng Chenggong's success, and that was Chen Kai, a guy who jumped out of nowhere.
I won’t mention more distant matters, but speaking of it, while Zheng Chenggong was seeking the Zhongzuo Institute, Chen Kaize was still busy rescuing the people of Guangzhou, and that matter would not have much to do with him. Even according to Zheng Cai’s
Intelligence showed that the incident was related to Zheng Zhiwan and Shi Lang, who were killed by Chen Kai. Even if Chen Kai killed these two people for no reason at all, it was still to protect Zheng Chenggong and the Zheng Group.
interests, but it is still regarded as revenge for him.
Such an idea is so contradictory that even the name Chen Kai appears more frequently in Zheng Cai's mouth. However, when I saw it today, it turned out to be like this. In retrospect, Chen Kai clung to the Zhongzuo Institute.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to fall out with the Zheng family, and then disappeared. It was unlikely that he would surrender, but his defection was basically a certainty.
Zheng Cai spoke sarcastically, and there was some temptation in it. However, Chen Kai didn't seem to think deeply. He just stretched out his hand to the back of his head, picked up the money rat tail, flicked it, and said to Zheng Cai
He smiled and said, "This thing is so ugly. If I hadn't used it in the past month, what would happen if I cut it off in front of Uncle Yong Sheng?"
"What do you mean?"
As soon as Chen Kai said these words, Zheng Caidang frowned. He seemed to have already figured out what these words were implying. However, Chen Kai did not leave him time to continue thinking. Instead, he pointed at the person behind him.
Wang Jiang said: "That Wang Fuxian, Bajiang, was once the assistant of Wang Yi, the Zhizhe manager appointed by King Lu... They became famous after the uncle and King Lu broke up, and the official position was also when King Lu returned to Zhejiang
They were appointed later. However, they are still very influential on the ground in eastern Zhejiang. The Tatars attacked Zhoushan this year, and last year they specially wiped out Siming Mountain, just for Wang Yi and Wang Jiang..."
It told about the situation of the two kings of Dalan Mountain. Wang Yi should have died for his country. On Wang Jiang's side, Chen Kai also talked about the destruction of Dalan Mountain. Wang Jiang's mother was captured. The Qing army used her mother as a threat to force Wang Jiang to
Jiang threw himself into a trap and was imprisoned in Hangzhou. But he fished him out in that million-person city.
"I just did it casually when I was passing by Hangzhou City on my way back to get Wang Fuxian out of Hangzhou City. Meeting my uncle now is even more unexpected. But since I risked being killed by my uncle here,
