Chapter 82 The Uninvited Guest (2)
The visitor's name is Shi Xian, a native of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, and a general recently recruited by Zheng Chenggong. Although this man is called Wu Yong, he is not very famous. However, he has a very famous person, and it can even be said that he will be very famous in the future.
The famous brother, that man is called Shi Lang!
"This military appearance has been reorganized, and the last general heard about the country's surname. Most of them are indebted to Chen Shenjun's unparalleled political talent."
"The surname of Guo is too modest, and General Shi is too praised. Apart from other things, if Guo surname had not controlled the overall situation, Uncle Hong had not taken shelter from the wind and rain, and the soldiers fought desperately, I, a clever woman, would not be able to make a meal without rice."
Because of Shi Lang, Chen Kai disliked Shi Xian very much, but on the outside, Chen Kai was still the same as usual, humble, free and easy, no different from when he met others.
"Chen Shenjun is too humble. Your talents are obvious to all in this army. Even when the generals first arrived in Chaozhou, they often heard of your deeds of killing the thief in the chariot."
"They are all rumors among the people in the countryside. There are countless things that can be done. I am just trying to use my words to seize the city and kill the thieves. I mostly rely on General Du and the two Generals Ke. If General Shi says this again,
I really want to publish a list to refute the rumors."
"Chen Canjun is joking. I'm afraid that even if you plan to publish a list, Guoxing will not agree."
Talking and laughing, Chen Kai walked out of the camp. Shi Xian just sent him here and said goodbye. There was nothing to say about such a superficial thing. It was just a smile when they met. At first
In the company, no matter how annoying some people are, it is also the same. Sometimes there is really no need to offend people for nothing, especially when Chen Kai hates only the person's brother, not the person.
However, I don’t know whether he was influenced by his Zhu Zheng Guiyi’s advice, or whether Zheng Chenggong had already intended to do this. It was only the second year of Yongli, and he had already begun to use Shi Xian to win over the Shi family, but he still let
Chen Kai felt a little uneasy.
"It's almost time to set off."
………………
Perhaps Chen Kai's thoughts were really spreading into the distance. Ten days later, it was already August. Thousands of miles away, in the camp outside Shaozhou Fucheng, the eunuch who proclaimed the imperial edict read the words of the imperial edict eloquently.
, when Shi Lang, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and other generals received the order to express their gratitude, they turned around and left with their nostrils pointing to the sky.
The content of the imperial edict is simply that the Yongli imperial court ordered these generals from Fujian to return to Fujian with their own troops and go to that promising land to regain the lost territory for the imperial court. Of course, there was no food, grass, ordnance, or military equipment.
It was just an ardent expectation and sincere blessing for them to fight back to their hometown, and a verbal promise that each prefecture and county would be responsible for providing military rations for them along the way, nothing more.
This kind of rhetoric makes it clear that they are to be abandoned like worn-out shoes and let them go back to where they came from. Who is running this, the generals probably know it well. At this moment,
The brewing anger seemed to heat up even this big tent.
As he said that, a figure chased him out and quickly returned. This man's name was Su Mao, a deputy general under the command of Shi Lang in the main town. He went out to catch up with the eunuch, flattered him a few times, and secretly spent some money.
He also came out with some truth and hurried back to explain the situation before the anger of these generals completely burned through the house.
"The imperial court has issued a decree to change the title of Uncle Yanping to the uncle, and attack Fujian like us."
The uncle Su Mao spoke of was not and could not be anyone else. He was referring to Shi Lang's uncle, Zheng Zhilong's old general Wu Yibo Shifu.
Shi Fu was one of the leaders of the group of people who entered the Guangdong and Fujian armies when they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Zhibao, another Chengji Bo who took the lead in surrendering to the Qing Dynasty under the orders of Zheng Zhilong, had already retreated bravely and was huddled in his home in Anping Town to "retire for the rest of his life."
And they followed Shi Fu and led into Guangdong under the leadership of Li Chengdong. They rampaged all the way and swept away the Ming army in Guangdong like a tornado. They even entered the territory of Guangxi and destroyed the Shaowu court and the Yongli court.
After chasing him, the mouse ran away with his head in his arms.
Later, in order to contain the Qing army in Guangdong, the Guangdong gentry Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, Chen Bangyan and others launched a vigorous anti-Qing uprising in Guangzhou and other places. When Li Chengdong reduced his troops, he also drove them back and suppressed the Qing army.
There was a huge uprising against the Qing Dynasty. And this incident actually happened last year.
From Fujian, to Guangdong, to Guangxi, and then back to Guangdong, he was even transferred to Shaozhou Prefecture not long ago to assist in the defense. Li Chengdong chased them back and forth like they were chasing ducks, and for what they had established
Li Chengdong denied all his numerous military exploits and blamed them all on his subordinates in front of the Qing court. Even so far, Li Chengdong said that their army was nothing more than a land and sea division.
The weak Fujian brigade, which only had 5,000 people together and was "vulnerable and unqualified to fight and defend", did not even have an official designation in the Qing court, and even Shi Fu was still using the weapons of the Longwu Dynasty.
Count Yi came to help the Qing government to destroy the Ming army of the Yongli Dynasty.
The rift between the two parties has long been established, but Li Chengdong is the admiral, and they are a group of unorganized "black households" who are worse than temporary workers. Naturally, they have no place to redress their grievances, so they have no choice but to let them do what they want, acting as pawns or even cannon fodder. Now, with the
Anyway, Li Chengdong's status naturally changed to that of the Ming army. The road to the north to defect to the Qing army in southern Jiangxi no longer existed, and they were directly thrown back to Fujian like garbage.
"It doesn't matter if I go back to Fujian. If there is food, we will fight. If there is no food, we will break up. I am tired of my work. If I go back to the countryside, have a land, a house, and a woman, it will be no better than being outcast like this. To put it bluntly, if this goes on, sooner or later I will die.
A foreign country."
The anger has been roared many times, and now it has turned into boundless resentment. It is hard to say whether they are insensitive or they no longer dare to have any hope, but what can they do after the imperial edict is issued?
I have to obey the orders in a good manner and go back to my hometown in Fujian to work hard to survive.
After saying that, Hong Xishan sat down on the chair and became silent. In the big tent, Shi Lang was still burning with anger, but Huang Ting suddenly remembered something and said to the crowd: "Some time ago,
Didn’t the time say that Guo Xing had invaded Chaozhou Prefecture, and it was a heavy task to kill Che? Who said we must go back to Fujian, to Chaozhou, if Guo Xing is willing to treat us well, we will go back and work with our old boss to fight for a better background.
It’s no big deal.”
"That makes sense. Anyway, when we return to Fujian, we have to pass by Chaozhou, so on the way!"
Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and other generals talked to each other and quickly reached an agreement on this matter. But it was Shi Lang, whose face had been uncertain since Huang Ting proposed to vote for Zheng Chenggong.
So much so that Su Mao, who had originally intended to follow the crowd, could only keep observing his expression and did not dare to say anything easily.
"Your Majesty, please tell me something clear. Are you going to vote for the country or not?!"
It has been two years since he left Fujian. Shi Fu was originally Zheng Zhilong's central military general and a true confidant. Now that Shi Fu is gone, Shi Lang's influence on this army is also extremely huge. Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others have said
After a long time, there was no way around Shi Lang. Seeing that he was still hesitant, Huang Ting, who held a slightly higher status among these people, asked him loudly.
"Hua Ming, let me tell you whether we will vote for Guo Xing. There is no need to decide in a hurry now. If anything happens, we can see it clearly when we go to Chaozhou. If Guo Xing is too busy to take care of itself, we will have a good life if we vote for it.
Pass?"
Focusing on him, Shi Lang pondered for a moment before answering with a gloomy look. However, with such an answer, the opinions were generally unified, and the generals also breathed a sigh of relief, and Huang
Ting Geng slapped his thigh, stood up, and then raised his arms and shouted.
