After loading the ship, the people of the two islands of Xiamen were loaded onto the Ming ship. Liu Er returned to the Fuyuan. The Fuyuan was a large warship recently built by the shipyard. It was more than twenty feet longer than the Western warship. The hull was wide. The two sides were two hundred artillery loaded by the imitation of Western warships. The power system was mainly five masts and seven sails on the hull. Whether it was protection, speed, and attack ability were better than Western warships. The biggest disadvantage was that the hull was troublesome when turning sideways. This could be said to be fatal for naval battles. It could not aim its own muzzle at the enemy ship in time. Even if there were more artillery, it was useless. However, the problem was not big. After all, it was a flagship. There were seven Western warships in the surrounding area to protect it. This ship could accommodate a large number of marines. It could be used as a floating far-fighting coffin. It was very effective to attack building targets when attacking the port.

At the command of Liu Er, the Ming ships were full of sails and left with the wind. They were many times faster than the ships of the Zheng fleet. In a cup of tea, dozens of ships had become a small black spot in Zheng Jing's eyes.

"The Ming army has such a navy. Alas!" Zheng Jing sighed again. In his mind, the Zheng navy was the main force of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He did not expect that after the Xinshi Emperor entered Myanmar, he formed a fleet that was enough to match the Zheng fleet in less than two years.

"Your Majesty Yanping doesn't have to worry. Although the Ming army's warships are good, my Zheng family is more than many ships. I think the Dutch fleet was so sophisticated. The Guo family gave the order and hundreds of ships were fired together. The Dutch gunboats were defeated and left." Chen Yonghua comforted.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "Don't worry about these for now. Let the brothers prepare. Separate the soldiers from the people. Don't break my plan."

The Ming fleet's ship was fast and there was no burden like the Zheng navy. Therefore, it only took two days to return to the harbor. After landing, it immediately notified the departments to organize manpower to resettle the Jinxia people who were brought back first. Liu Erma went to the palace to report without stopping.

"The emperor, I have found out all of it. The Zheng family's armed warships are at most 100. Most of them are mainly medium-sized sea ships and are not even equipped with artillery. If they want to attack the harbor suddenly, it is impossible. Even if they want to take action, they will probably have to go ashore."

Zhu Jun held the tea cup and blew the tea foam, but did not go to drink it. He just looked at the tea foam floating on the bird tea and said slowly: "How powerful are their soldiers?"

"Vulnerable." Liu Er curled his lips and continued: "Their fleet is short of food and water. Many sailors are hungry and their eyes are green. If such an army lands, the last one will only lead two thousand naval marines to defeat them."

Zhu Jun raised his legs and put down the teacup. He murmured: "That's it. Their troops are invincible. So the Huihaidu branch who informed Tian that he opened the city gate for them to raid Haidu."

Zhu Jun followed this idea and thought: "They came from afar. I'm afraid they've already calculated that no matter how bad I have a rift with them, they won't deprive him of military power on the day they landed. Under normal circumstances, I should have arranged them to spend the night outside the Haidu City. At that time, the members of the Tianhui Branch quietly opened the city gate for them. They suddenly entered from outside the city. I'm afraid that our army was prepared for a long time and could not resist it under this chaos." Zhu Jun smiled coldly when he said this, "It's a pity that they have made great calculations. But he didn't expect that Chen Sanxi, the leader of the Tianhui Branch, was already the Qianhu Lord of the Fushi Department of the North Town of the Ming Dynasty."

"The emperor's magical tricks are so good. Since they are not kind, it would be better to let the navy fight and defeat the Zheng army on the sea." The navy camp's achievements have always been above the various camps. Liu Er even rose from a small thief helmsman to become one of the top navy giants on the South China Sea. Liu Er is not stupid. He has understood some truths after being forced to go to night school in the past few months. Everything about Liu Er was given by the emperor. Since that's the case, he naturally wanted to make more military achievements to make the emperor look at him with admiration.

Zhu Jun shook his head: "In this way, I will be unkind and unrighteous. What's more, the military and civilians of Jinxia are my children of the Ming Dynasty. They were brought under the influence of Zheng Jing. I will only punish the evildoers. None of the others can be pursued."

"Zheng Jing cannot die either. Although Zheng did not obey the court's orders, he also made great achievements in the fight against the Qing Dynasty. If I kill him, wouldn't it be the hearts of the people of the world? Let him be the King of Yanping with peace of mind. The Jinyiwei guards are more strict and they are not afraid that he can cause any trouble."

Zhu Jun murmured, making Liu Er confused. This kind of political thing is not his strength. He had to stand aside and keep silent.

Zhu Jun suddenly stood up and said, "The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Secretary of the Six Ministers. The Death, the Shenji, the Shandao, the commander of the Shenchang Camp was also here to meet. The new recruit training envoys are here. Go quickly."

On December 2nd of the second year of Xinshi, the Zheng fleet arrived at Haidu Port. The Zheng army and civilians who had endured hunger drifted on the sea for a full twenty days. At this time, when they saw the land that was about to land, they suddenly cheered and echoed. The people who were welcomed along the coast were the people welcoming along the coast. In normal times, the Han people did not know how precious their compatriots were. However, once their homes fell, the Han people who were wandering in the South China Sea truly realized how cute their compatriots were. On one side were the black cheering crowds along the coast, and on the other side were the Jinxia people who were poking their heads out of the side of the ship. Although the two sides were still separated by a blue sea, they communicated with each other in the most primitive voices of human beings.

The salute sounded, the heavy drum sounded, and the firecrackers sounded throughout the sky. Thirty thousand Ming troops were arranged into dozens of square formations, with long swords drawn into sheaths, and spears and crossbows entered the warehouse. The only one displayed was only hundreds of sun and moon flags that were fluttering in the wind.

At the dock, a shed had already been set up. A hundred officials of all grades looked at the fleet getting closer and closer to the coastline. They stroked their beards and prepared their prayers. A few days ago, they were discussing how to kill Zheng Jing. But now, their faces are filled with smiles. Even though the Zheng family is hateful, the military and civilians of Jinxia are loyal men to the country. No matter how they are, they have to do a lot of effort in face.

The first thing to dock was Zheng's flagship. The thousand-pound iron anchor was thrown into the water, and the huge warship slowly stabilized its body in the waves. The thick black canvas was taken away by the sailors. Someone got on a sampan. Amid the drum music, Zheng Jing and his generals went to the shore.

Zheng Jing was relieved by the warm welcome of the court. As he expected, even if the Xinshi Emperor wanted to deprive him of military power, he would probably have to wait for a while before talking. Therefore, he calmed down. Since he had set up a stage for you, the play of wandering children returning home must be performed properly.

Under the leadership of the Minister of Rites, a group of officials from all over the court had already come up. The Minister of Rites had a stern face and the drums and music suddenly stopped. He pulled out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and said, "There is an order. King Zheng Jing of Yanping and his generals and generals received the order."

Zheng Jing knew that the Xinshi Emperor must have issued the decree of reward in full view of the public. He would definitely not be in trouble. Therefore, he curled his smile and bowed down and said, "I am the uncle Zheng Jing, listen carefully. Long live my emperor."

Most of the generals and schoolmen behind Zheng Jing were backbone members of the Zheng family when they were pirates. Although they were promised by the court, no one is now guerrilla or gangster. These three bows and nine bows are naturally familiar with each other, so they bow down one after another.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun. The imperial edict said: King Zheng Jing of Yanping successfully occupied a corner of Jinxia with his father. He used weak troops to fight against Jiannu... I was very pleased. He ordered Zheng Jing to save him from his death and to show his kindness. I heard that Liu Guoxuan, the general of Zheng Jing, was able to be civil and military. He was a general of the Zheng army's navy. He was appointed as the commander of the Eastern Navy camp and temporarily took charge of the new navy. The other generals and schools were rewarded. I respected this."

The beginning of this decree was fine. Zheng Jing heard that the emperor wanted to order him to save him from death in front of everyone. He couldn't help but feel relieved. It was enough to show that the sincerity of Xinshi Emperor was very deep. But later it became more and more awkward. Who was Liu Guoxuan? Zheng Jing thought to break his head and had the impression of this person. This man was just a deputy general. He had 3,000 soldiers and 50 inconspicuous warships in his headquarters. Because he did not lead his troops to participate in the war in Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong. Therefore, these 3,000 people accounted for one-third of the remaining Zheng army of about 10,000. But he was just a big official after all. He had never used him when his father was there. Why did Xinshi Emperor ask Liu Guoxuan to be the commander of the Eastern Navy? Could it be that this Liu surnamed had secretly colluded with Xinshi Emperor?

The most painful thing about this decree was Liu Guoxuan, who was the schoolmaster behind Zheng Jing. After the decree, Liu Guoxuan, a small deputy general, immediately noticed the suspicious eyes of countless colleagues and Shangguan. If these eyes were arrows, then Liu Guoxuan was definitely the greatest target of arrows in this play.

When the Qing army entered Fujian, Liu Guoxuan joined the Qing army due to family changes. He began his career in Zhangzhou. When he first arrived in Zhangzhou, he was only a gatekeeper. Later, he was promoted to the Qiang General of the Guard and guarding the northern gate of Zhangzhou. During the Qing army, Liu Guoxuan was appreciated by the former general Zheng of Ming and Zheng, who was the leader of the Qing army. However, he was humble after all. Although he showed some military performance, he was always just a lower-level general and had no reputation. During this period, he also had close contacts with the Ming survivors who were anti-Qing and the famous scholar Lin Jin'an. He seemed to have Zeng Si's surrender to Zheng Chenggong.

The army served in the state. Liu Guoxuan actively instigated the Qing army to rebel and pay the city. On the first day of December, Liu Guoxuan led the Zheng army into the city at night. The troops were not bloody. He forced the Qing Zhangzhou garrison Zhang Shiyao and others to surrender to Zheng. The matter was finished. On the fourth day, Liu Guoxuan was awarded the deputy commander of the governor and was in charge of the guards' affairs. He used bravery first. Liu Guoxuan was still not valued. Zheng's army ordered the orders. Liu Guoxuan had a very good result. At that time, Chen Yonghua knew that he had a general. Just such a small person. Liu Guoxuan could not have thought that the new emperor knew him and also appointed himself as a general.

Soon, Liu Guoxuan suddenly realized that the Xinshi Emperor appointed him. He just wanted to tear apart the inside of the Zheng army. After all, he had so many immediate bosses on his head. Xinshi did not grant their officials, but only wooed him. In fact, he was offering himself high and letting those unconvincing Shangguans trample on him. He was really more unjust than Dou E. After this order, who would believe that he had no relationship with Xinshi Emperor? You did not secretly collude with Xinshi Emperor. Why did the Xinshi Emperor grant your official position? We have so many supervisors, guerrilla generals, and generals. Why are you, the deputy general in charge of the rear army, the position of this leader? Liu Guoxuan now has no words.

There are only two roads in Liu Guoxuan. One is that he was trampled to death by his colleague Shangguan inside the Zheng family. Even if they don’t take action, will Zheng Jing, King Yanping let him go? Obviously, this is a dead end. The second road makes Liu Guoxuan difficult. This road is just to be a mom-decisive and fight with Emperor Xinshi. Didn’t you, Xinshi, want me to be the commander of the Dongyang Navy to control the Zheng army? OK! I will break up with these colleagues and King Yanping. Anyway, I have 3,000 people under my subordinates. Although there are not many people in the Zheng army, there are Ming troops outside. As long as you drag all of you colleagues off the horse, I am a dignified navy commander. It is much better than following your fucking Zheng Jing to give a deputy general.

All the way is a dead end. If you die, you may be scolded by your own people as a spy. The other is a prosperous road to get promoted and wealth. After Liu Guoxuan weighed the pros and cons, he felt confident. He had a stern face and ignored the strange eyes projected by Shangguan and his colleagues.

What Liu Guoxuan didn't know was that the reason why Emperor Xinshi promoted him in this way was a factor. The bigger reason was that Emperor Xinshi knew that he was an excellent naval general who had been recorded in history. The fleet he led defended Taiwan's safety for decades and constantly harassed the southeast coast, which gave Qing people a headache. Emperor Xinshi also knew that he was a general who was honest and did not love money. Not only did he fight hard, he also vigorously promoted water conservancy and promoted the method of sowing rice seeds. He was a good official who benefited the country and the people.
