208 Listening to the announcement but not listening to the tune
Before, when Jin Li led an army of 30,000 to attack the Fenshui Pass, Chen Bao had nearly 10,000 troops from the remaining Zheng family, and hundreds of warships of sea and sea ships. He neither helped Li Yuanyin resist Jin Li from the water, nor did he help Jin Li conspire to attack Li Yuanyin's Fenshui Pass. His attitude was very ambiguous. He closed the door and became a separatist vassal state, like a big boss, who was free and easy outside the forces of all parties.
At this moment, he suddenly gave up separatist and sent an envoy to express his willingness to surrender. Perhaps he saw the tragic consequences of the powerful pirates in Chaozhou after fighting against the court with force, and clearly realized the strength of the new Yongli court and the determination to rectify and clean up local separatist. He took the imperial court's military power and did it without any hesitation.
If this is the case, it undoubtedly means that Jiao Lian, Gao Lixun and others will knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to suppress the thieves, which greatly reduces the internal friction of the court in military affairs. The flaw is that Chen Bao's surrender behavior is captured by the times and is forced. Both sides are suspicious of each other, which may not be a true mind. There may be mistakes at the critical moment of the Qing Dynasty in the future, and there are huge safety hazards.
Of course, this is just a guess. Perhaps after the court showed enough muscles, it began to look forward to the future of the Yongli regime, the ability of the Ming emperor in Xingdu, and felt that the new emperor had hope of expelling the Tartars and regaining the mountains and rivers. Only then did he sincerely surrender and find a strong backer for himself on the sea with complex forces.
Without the hundreds of thousands of troops of One Piece Zheng Zhilong to protect him, he had a hard time at sea. The unstable trade caused the untimely supply of food and salary. The Hongmao Fan and the Folang Ji people who came and went in the east and west had strong ships and powerful cannons, and neither of them were easy to mess with.
Nan'ao Island, which is lonely overseas, is wide inside and dangerous outside. There is La Island and Qing Island surrounded by it. Only one door can be entered. As long as one man is at the pass, almost ten thousand men cannot open it. The terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can get this Feng Shui treasure land with extremely important terrain for the court without using troops, it would be better.
Jiao Lian and Gao Lixun were not sure that Chen Bao had some sincerity to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, so they did not dare to be proficient, so they wrote a letter to ask Zhu Youlang how to deal with it. After some urgent discussions, Zhu Youlang and the ministers of the cabinet decided to send a Fujian general who was also Zheng Zhilong's old subordinate. Huang Ting, deputy general of the Zhenhai Army, went to contact the surrender matters, and at the same time tested Chen Bao's sincerity to surrender.
Huang Ting, the former Zheng Zhilong direct lineage general, was twenty-nine years old. He had a round face, small eyes and nose, dark skin, seven feet and eight inches tall, and a little thin. Although he was young, he was a veteran among the Zheng family, with outstanding military achievements, and was clever and brave.
In the original history, in the second year of Yongli, Li Chengdong was excluded after returning to the Ming Dynasty, so he led his remaining troops to join Huang Ting's anti-Qing brigade, and since then he became one of Huang Ting's capable generals and actively participated in the maritime uprising against the Qing Dynasty.
In the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1661), he led his troops to regain Taiwan, which was occupied by Dutch colonists, and brought Taiwan back to the embrace of the motherland.
In the third year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1664), with the demise of the Yongli regime and Huang Ting's early death, Huang Ting felt that there was no hope of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and led more than 100,000 troops to surrender to the Qing court.
In the 23rd year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1648), he was conquered Heilongjiang and fought bloody battles in Yaquesa; in the 27th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, he was conquered Xia Fenglong Mutiny in Wuchang; in the 29th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1690), he was conquered Zhuangge tribe of Mongolia; he achieved outstanding results throughout his life. He died in Dengzhou at the age of 97.
After the task was assigned, Huang Ting knew that it was time to show his abilities. Since Li Chengdong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he has been enjoying the richness. He can only watch other Ming troops fighting with the Tartars in Huguang and Jiangxi, making continuous contributions and promotions. However, he and his brothers could only stay in the road and respond every day. Except for the fact that he had made some contributions in the bandit suppression, he almost did nothing else.
This made Huang Ting, who was only less than 30 years old and had ambitions and a strong sense of fame and fortune, feel very depressed, so he cherished this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and pledged his chest to complete the task with swearing.
On the second day, Huang Ting only ordered hundreds of soldiers as his followers and drove to Nan'ao Island by sea.
After hearing the news, the Yongli court sent Huang Ting as an envoy to Nan'ao. Chen Bao was about to touch Huang Ting's attitude, so he personally ordered his troops to lead the generals to the dock and took Huang Ting and his party into the yamen.
After the guest and the host and the guest sat down, because the two of them had a close relationship with Zheng Zhilong, they naturally could not avoid this topic when they were in conversation. After a few polite words from each other, Chen Bao sighed and said in a deep tone:
"Oh! The Grand Master was extremely smart all his life, and he had no choice but to do it. Chen Bao admired him very much. Who would have expected that the Grand Master would be confused for a moment and mistakenly fall into the trap of the Tartars. Now he is surrounded by Boluo and his life and death are uncertain. It is really painful to have a grief and a sigh of relief."
Huang Ting agreed with an agreement and said, "At the time, if the Taishi could obey the persuasion of the generals, how could the Tartars have succeeded? It's just that the Taishi was stubborn and self-righteous, unacceptable and honest advice, which was abusing the country and the people, and harmed others and themselves!"
After a few greetings, and after a little warm conversation between them, Chen Bao stopped wandering around and said straight to the point: "Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be achieved both, and the country is in trouble. I have already followed Li Junmen (Li Chengdong) and have returned to the Ming Dynasty, and I am determined to resist the Qing Dynasty. I don't know what Chen Shuai means?"
After saying that, he looked directly at Chen Bao, as if he wanted to see something from his facial expression.
Chen Bao didn't expect Huang Ting to be so direct and was caught off guard. Fortunately, he did have the intention to surrender and had already planned in his heart, so after he hesitating for a moment, he clearly expressed his position: "The enemy is rampant, ravaging the Central Plains, usurping the throne of Kyoto, and damaging our people. As a brave man, who is not angry?
At this time, although the Grand Tutor was kind to me, I could only give up my loyalty and take great justice. General Huang was determined to serve the people without fear of hardships and dangers. I admired the courage to shoulder morality with the general. I also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with the general, helping the emperor to restore the Ming Dynasty and achieve the great cause of revival!"
"With this sentence from Chen Shuai, I feel relieved. Now all industries are difficult, and the emperor is eager to seek talent. Chen Shuai's return this time is like a timely help. He will definitely be rich and prosperous in the future, and his future is limitless!" Huang Ting breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Bao say this, and he also expressed the attitude of the court.
Chen Bao was happy when he heard this, and he had a rough idea. He smiled and said, "General Huang is young and capable, and has both civil and military affairs, and has a bright future. In the future, you and I will worship the Yongli of the Ming Dynasty as the main theme and have like-minded ideas. If the emperor sends a mission to the future, I will work together and do my best!"
