As soon as he arrived at Jiaxing Prefecture, a scout came to report that Huang Binqing led thousands of warships to gather in the waters of Hangzhou Bay and sent people to ask for rebels and warships such as Zhang Mingzhen.

Wu Zheng immediately ordered an urgent marching and changed his horse and led the cavalry first.

When I arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture, under the guidance of Mo Zhinian, I met Zhang Mingzhen, whom I had been famous for a long time.

Zhang Mingzhen, whose courtesy name was Houfu, was a member of Nanjing Jinyiwei. At the end of Chongzhen, he served as the guerrilla guerrilla in Taizhou as a deputy general. When Zhu Yihai was supervising the country, he led his troops to surrender and was granted the title of General Fuping.

Looking at this famous anti-Qing general who was not famous yet, Wu Zheng felt a palpitation. Perhaps his arrival would make Zhang Mingzhen lose the opportunity to become famous.

"See Duke Zhenguo."

"General Zhang doesn't have to be too polite. Please get up and see." Wu Zheng stepped forward and helped Zhang Mingzhen with his own hands, leading him to the seat, which made Zhang Mingzhen excited.

In front of him, the most powerful Duke of the court, who revived the nine palaces with his own strength. How could he not be excited about Zhang Mingzhen, who was upright, generous and ambitious?

"Where is a seat for a humble position in front of the Duke of Zhenguo who restored Yingtian Prefecture?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "I am just a lucky man. Restoring Nanjing is also the reason why the soldiers work together. General Zhang is too proud. Come on, there is no need to be polite. Let's tell me what happened in Zhoushan, why did you suddenly lead the army to surrender?"

Zhang Mingzhen then sat half his butt on the chair, "Reply to the words of the Lord, three years ago, the King of Lu, the general of Zhoushan, Huang Binqing, was under the command of the Lujian Kingdom. He was sent by the court to Zhoushan to serve as an army. He was one of the two for assistance and the other for supervision. Afterwards, Huang Binqing was greedy for official titles and privately joined Longwu, Fujian. Originally, Wu Zhi should have returned to our dynasty, but at that time, Lord Zhang, the Minister of War, secretly sent someone to pass on orders to continue to stay in Zhoushan to make the future."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, "You mean... you continued to stay in Zhoushan, was it Zhang Guowei and Zhang Gong's deployment?"

"That's right. This time, Longwu, Fujian was defeated and surrounded by Qing army. The Longwu Dynasty ordered Huang Binqing to transfer the navy to the south to reinforce, but they were all refused by Huang Binqing on the excuse of pirate attacks. The intention was nothing more than to protect his strength and wait for the price... However, the situation in our dynasty was turbulent, and Mr. Zhang sacrificed his life for the country. For more than a year, he did not receive any instructions. Bei Zhi was worried and angry. He secretly contacted his confidants. While Huang Binqing led his army to sea, he gathered more than a thousand people and crossed the sea to join Lord Wu."

Wu Zheng asked: "Now Huang Binqing gathered the navy in Hangzhou Bay, what are your good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Although Huang Binqing has tens of thousands of people, most of his subordinates are interested in the court. In addition, Huang Binqing's subordinates are not a single piece. The general Huang Dazhen, who has been separated from his appearance for a long time. There is also the general of Yuanpingxi, Wang Chaoxian, who was also angry because Huang Binqing said lightly and ruined his promises. At this time, as long as the Duke of Zhenguo gave the order, the navy will be able to correct it. He is humble to lead his troops to be the pioneer and defeat Huang Binqing for the sake of his great master."

Wu Zheng asked in surprise: "Why did the General Wang Chaoxian, Yuanpingxi, be under Huang Binqing's command?"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "When the capital fell, the dynasty first led the troops to retreat south. However, King Lu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou. Later, King Lu supervised the country. The dynasty first supported troops at Jiaoguan. Huang Binqing used his troops to force him to surrender several times. After the surrender, the dynasty first led two ships to cross the sea to Zhoushan, but Huang Binqing repented. He sent Biao general Zhu Mei and Lu Wei to lead the army to greet him, saying that it was to welcome him, but in fact it was to kill him. After the battle, the dynasty first jumped to the sea and survived. Bei Zhi transferred the ship to save him. Seeing that the dynasty first arrived first, it was difficult to continue to harm him openly, so he accepted the dynasty first and reorganized his subordinates, but put the dynasty first vacant and named a deputy general. The dynasty had already felt resentful. As long as the lord ordered, he would be able to fight back."

"But as you said, the dynasty has been vacant by Huang Binqing for a long time and has no soldiers in his hands. How can he turn against him?"

"Wang Chaoxian did not have any troops in his hands, but his subordinates who were reorganized by Huang Binqing are still there. Now Huang Binqing leads a large army to Hangzhou Bay, and there are definitely not many people who stay in the military camp. However, the former subordinates of the Chaoxian have never been trusted by Huang Binqing and must have stayed at the garrison. Therefore, as long as the dynasty first climbs the high ground and calls, there will be many people who will respond."

"This is feasible. As long as Huang Binqing's old nest is lost, even if he cannot surrender, his navy will be able to disperse his morale and can easily break it." Wu Zheng nodded in agreement, "But who can go to Zhoushan to surrender to the dynasty first?"

Zhang Mingzhen bowed and said, "I am willing to go to Zhoushan to say that I will surrender to the dynasty first. On that day, I saved the dynasty first and gave him a lot of money and property. He often said that one day I will repay the dynasty one day."

Wu Zheng was overjoyed and comforted him: "General Zhang is indeed brave and resourceful. In this way, he will rely on General Zhang."

Zhang Mingzhen said: "If you can serve the court and the great masters, you will be the last blessing."

"Okay." Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Mingzhen and said, "General Zhang is straightforward, I will not hide it from you. The situation in Fujian is critical. Huang Daozhou of Longwu Dynasty was sent to Yingtian Prefecture to seek reinforcements from Fujian. I have agreed to send troops, but the military situation is urgent. It is obviously impossible to catch up from land and can only go by sea. Therefore, I have already transferred one of the Yingtian Prefecture Naval Division to the south to go south and can reach Hangzhou Bay tomorrow. I was originally planning to fight hard to eliminate Huang Binqing, but now since you have a better way, I will order the navy to go south to stay at Wusongkou for a long time to wait for good news to come. But I can't give you too much time, that is to say, tomorrow afternoon, if you can't tell the dynasty to first, I will order a battle with Huang Binqing."

Zhang Mingzhen lowered his head and calculated, bowed to Wu Zheng, and said firmly: "Don't worry, Duke Zhenguo, time should be too late. Hu Zi left for Zhoushan and said that he would surrender the dynasty first. But... The dynasty first is the man who is greedy for official positions and power, and he doesn't know what he is..."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Tell him that as long as he is loyal to our dynasty, the general of Zhoushan will be his after this battle. I guess this should satisfy him, right?"

Zhang Mingzhen was happy, "As Duke Zhenguo said, the dynasty will surrender first."

....

After Zhang Mingzhen left, Wu Zheng went to the former governor's yamen, and now he has become Wu Zheng's headquarters. The Financial Secretary's yamen led by Mo Zhinian was set up here.

Wu Zheng met with the envoy sent by Huang Binqing here.

This envoy is Zhu Mei, a subordinate of Huang Binqing, mentioned earlier.

"I will meet the Duke of Zhenguo at the end."

The name of a person and the shadow of a tree. I heard that it was Wu Zheng in front of me, and Zhu Mei did not dare to be arrogant and bowed to her.

Wu Zheng nodded coldly and said, "What is General Zhu's intention to come here?"

"Sir, I will be ordered by my general to come to Hangzhou to ask for the rebel general Zhang Mingzhen. I hope that the Duke of Zhenguo will be happy with his feelings for a rogue dress and water."
