Chapter 639
Guangxi and Guangdong are connected, and the Zheng family's military general who stayed in Guangdong is Zheng Cai.
He was ordered to mobilize troops to gather together Shaozhou Prefecture, but he did not have the power to start the war without authorization. Twenty days, the news was enough to go back and forth between Fuzhou and Guangzhou, but Zheng Zhilong had no reply yet.
Half a month ago, the Ming army general Xu Yiyang sent an envoy to Shaozhou and ordered Zheng Cai to immediately lead his army to attack Guangxi and suppress the rebellious party.
The Zheng family did not rebel, but the court had great righteousness in hand. Xu Yiyang, a deputy general, had the title of military commander on his head, so that King Yanping's troops could be pointed and touched.
Zheng Cai looked down on this messenger, but he still served him well. If he did something impulsive because of his anger, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He still remembered what Zheng Sen said to him when he went to Nanjing at the beginning of the year, but he still didn't want to rebel, and he knew that King Yanping didn't want to. The Fujian people were more interested in the sea than the land. They rely solely on land, and the Fujian people could not even survive. Only the sea could bring them endless wealth.
The envoy of the Ming army was Xu Yiyang's general Zhang Erwu.
The few days he has really made him happy, eats delicious food, drinks spicy food, and has two beautiful women who are as beautiful as flowers and tender skin. He has never lived such a happy life.
The opportunity for his first mission came from the lack of suitable people around Xu Yiyang. Of course, the enjoyment of this trip was worthy, because if Zheng decided to rebel, he would come to his door to send his head.
I heard that sending him to Guangxi was the order of the Jinyiwei. The battlefield in Guangxi should serve the overall situation of Fujian and Guangdong.
This is also a way to put pressure on Zheng Zhilong. After Liu Suifeng broke up the Western Army, the court became more and more strict with Zheng Zhilong and no longer ignored him like before.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the gray window paper.
Zhang Erwu reached out and touched him randomly, and then squeezed a handful of soft flesh that he had touched accidentally, causing a cry.
"Get up" Zhang Erwu crossed his soft body, got out of bed and put on his official robe. His current position is to coordinate the garrison, hoping to be promoted to a guerrilla general after fighting this battle.
After walking two steps, his steps were a little sluggish, his waist was sore, and he secretly complained in his heart. It was harder in the curtain than in the battlefield. If he returned to the army like this, he would be responsible.
It has been more than ten days since he came to Shaozhou, and he didn't know how the war in Guangxi was progressing.
After breakfast every day, I go to the street to stroll. When I am in a bad mood, I go to the yamen to chat with Zheng Cai. This is what he did in Shaozhou Prefecture for half a month.
Zhang Erwu remembered that he hadn't been to look for Zheng Cai for two days, so he couldn't have fun and forgot about his business.
He led two personal soldiers to the Shaozhou Yamen, and he happened to see Zheng Cai fully wearing a pair of soldiers leading a team of soldiers.
"General Zheng, where are you going?"
Zheng Cai saw Zhang Erwu and called out: "I'm about to find you. Last night, the prince's military order arrived and ordered me to lead the army to chase the Guangxi rebels."
"What?" Zhang Erwu couldn't believe his ears.
Zheng Cai waved his arm and said, "Prepare food and grass supplies in the morning, and send troops to Guangxi in the afternoon."
It was true that Zhang Erwu felt that his brain was not enough.
Zheng Cai asked: "Does Zhang Shoubei follow me to go out to war or go back to report to Xu Jianjun?"
"Me?" Zhang Erwu was reluctant to leave, "I'd better go back and report the news to Xu Jianjun as soon as possible." He hurried to the inn to summon his subordinates despite his back pain.
The next day, he witnessed Zheng Cai leading his army to Pingyue Mansion with his own eyes.
Migratory birds fly from north to south.
The formation of geese above their heads is arranged in the character "one" and "people". They do not understand that the land under their feet is undergoing a change of heaven.
Zhang Erwu walked from south to north and then turned west before he could return to the Ming army's barracks.
The rebellion in Guangxi ended here.
Three days ago, Xu Yiyang led his army to attack Liuzhou and defeated the Guangxi general Chen Qice. Qu Shici mobilized Luo Quanbin from Guilin to help, and at the same time ordered Chen Bangbo to lead his army to strengthen defense like Guilin City. Unexpectedly, after Chen Bangbo entered the city, he immediately launched a mutiny, imprisoned Qu Shici and Zhang Tongchang, and sent a letter of surrender to Xu Yiyang.
Today, Zheng Cai led his army to attack Guangxi, contacting several counties in the south that were still stubbornly resisting, showing their attitude.
There were many people on the road who were blindly fleeing without knowing the truth. Zhang Erwu arrested more than a dozen people in a row to ask, but he did not understand the situation. It was not until he fled to Yongzhou and saw the Yongzhou defenders that he knew that the Ming army had recovered Guilin.
Qu Shizi has been abandoned, and several counties in Guangxi have resisted stubbornly. Chen Bangbo led his army to attack and show his loyalty.
After Zhang Erwu found out the situation, he couldn't help but curse Zheng Cai in his stomach. Zheng Cai must have received the news long ago and did not stop him, so he asked him to walk the mountain road for two or three days.
He didn't know that Zheng Cai had long hated him, a messenger who was eating, drinking and scolding.
The group of people rushed to Guilin in the opposite direction from the fleeing people.
Hundred miles away from Guilin, Zhang Erwu met Zhang Bang'anmin's soldiers, who were Chen Bangbo's subordinates.
After a brief question, the people told him that the Ming army's military supervisor was still in Liuzhou, and Guilin City was under the control of General Chen. The local soldiers and horses in Guangxi in Guilin City had surrendered to General Chen, and they are now under General Chen's command.
Zhang Erwu was just a little disappointed, and his identity could not be exposed to deep-seated news. He shouted a few words and said, "What's going on? Liuzhou is only two or three hundred miles away from Guilin. Why haven't the adults come to accept Guilin City yet?"
Xu Yiyang could not enter Guilin City.
There is a canal from Guilin to Liuzhou, and some people are still busy doing business and making money in the chaos. Zhang Erwu hired a small passenger ship to hold everyone with him and staggered towards Liuzhou.
Guilin is the best in the world, Zhang Erwu is as eager to return home, and he has no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way.
After walking on the boat for two days, he entered the boundary of Liuzhou Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ming army. Zhang Erwu saw the Ming army flag on the shore and hurriedly urged the boatman to dock. They met Chen Youlong's scouts.
Zhang Erwu went ashore to inform him of his identity. The scouts were skeptical and led them to the nearby Luzhai County.
After walking into the Luzhai Mountain area for an hour, he walked out of a mountain bend. The flags in front of him were like forests. Zhang Erwu saw the big flag with the word "Xu" at a glance.
After Chen Youlong's scout informed the camp, Xu Dawu came out to meet and confirmed that he did not bring the wrong person, so he left with confidence.
Zhang Erwu asked excitedly: "Brother, where are you?"
Zhang Dawu pointed to a small hill covered with woods to the east. When he saw his brother come back, he smiled a little tightly.
Zhang Erwu ran towards the small hill, and said while running: "I'll go see the adults first, and report to you if you have something important."
A few blue smoke emerged from the dense woods on the hillside.
Zhang Erwu first reported that he had to allow him to enter. When he walked in, he saw Xu Yiyang patiently turning a bird on the active flame, not knowing whether it was a duck or a goose.
"You're back." Xu Yiyang looked up and lowered his head again.
Zhang Erwu knelt on one knee and said, "The last general will fulfill his mission."
Xu Yiyang said: "It's really time for you to come back. My geese is about to be cooked."
