Chapter 102 Routines

When Zhu Yicheng talked about Shi Lang's battle to attack Taiwan, Zhuang Yan's expression changed a little. You should know that he was in the army and was also a member of the attack to attack Taiwan. He was also rewarded for his merits in this battle.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the past is still vivid in my mind. It is precisely because of the attack on Taiwan that the Fujian Navy was established. But who would have thought that just ten years have passed, and now the Fujian Navy has become like this.

"Actually, everyone is a child of the Han family. They are all fellow villagers from their hometowns when they are fighting and killing!" At the end of the conversation, Zhu Yicheng shook his head and sighed.

Zhuang Yan sneered: "What are the friendships between fellow countrymen for their masters? The hero Zheng Chenggong will not talk about it for the time being, but the Zheng family is really good people? It is not an exaggeration to say that Zheng Chenggong's actions to the old military family are deep and deep. When Zheng Chenggong died, what did Zheng Jing and his son do? Did they think about the friendships between fellow countrymen when they drove a boat to snatch the sea? Haha, the Grand Governor said that these were nothing more than me. Zhuang was not talented. Although he could not serve the country like the military family, he would not do such a thing. Why would the Grand Governor give Zhuang a cup of poisoned wine now? Is it good to help Zhuang?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yicheng's face twitched, and he was secretly annoyed. Zhu Yan was really unable to get in. He had tried so much to say so many words and was so stubborn. But when he thought about it, Zhu Yicheng laughed again: "What General Zhuang is saying? If General Zhuang can compete with the original governor, he will certainly be unsuccessful. However, since General Zhuang refused, he will not force him."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yicheng sighed: "General Zhuang did not seek benevolence with General Shi on the battlefield. This is not that General Zhuang cherishes his life. It is mainly because he cannot let go of his brothers in the navy. You and I are all men who lead the troops. The governor knew very well that sometimes it was harder to be alive than the dead. In this case, how could the governor force General Zhuang?"

Zhuang Yan felt a little hot in his heart, and he felt more fond of Zhu Yicheng. Zhu Yicheng was right. Zhuang Yan was not a greedy person who was afraid of death. The reason why he did not commit suicide with Shi Shipiao was because of his subordinates. If all the leading generals were dead, what should the soldiers of the Fujian Navy do? Taking them to surrender is also to preserve the lives of these subordinates!

"I invited General Zhuang to come today. I just want to meet General Zhuang. As for the rest, please rest assured. As long as General Zhuang is unwilling, I promise that I will never force you." Zhu Yicheng gave Zhuang Yan a promise in public, and Zhuang Yan's heart fell upon hearing this.

However, Zhu Yicheng then changed his words and said, "For General Zhuang, although this governor cannot let you go back, there is no problem living in Ningbo. However, General Zhuang, since he talks about this, I would like to ask, how to deal with the soldiers of the Fujian Navy? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"This..." When Zhu Yicheng made this clear and unmistakable, Zhuang Yan couldn't speak for a moment. Yes! There were more than a thousand captured Fujian Navy. If so many people were allowed to Zhu Yicheng, they would definitely not be able to let them go. The other party was a thief. Will the Fujian Navy wait for them to return to Fujian and call again? If it were himself, he wouldn't do this. But if he could not let go, what should he recruit? He refused to recruit him in Zhuang Yan's heart. How could he be able to serve the thief? But if he could not, what would these brothers do?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but sweat. If it were him, then there might be only one way. It would be impossible to raise so many people in vain. It would be the easiest to deal with it and kill it cleanly. But how could Zhuang Yan say this? This is the life of the brothers!

Seeing that Zhuang Yan hesitated and refused to speak, Zhu Yicheng sighed: "It seems that General Zhuang also thought of the problem. To be honest, no one can guarantee the result if he did it again. Therefore, this investment cannot be effective, so they will not refuse to die, which makes the governor very embarrassed!"

Zhuang Yan was smart and said quickly: "Grandmaster, everyone on the battlefield is their own masters. Those soldiers are not guilty of death! Please ask the Grandmaster to be kind and let them live a life."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan, who was still tough the moment ago, actually knelt down and begged Zhu Yicheng to spare these Fujian Navy soldiers.

Looking at Zhuang Yan kneeling in front of him, Zhu Yicheng sighed again, but then said in a stern voice: "General Zhuang, your request is too much. This governor is not the inmate of the good hall. Since the previous war, this governor asked himself that he had done his best. If you change it, would you simply let them go one way? The road is OK! There is only one, that is, to defect to me."

"This...this..." Zhuang Yan was sweating all over. He knew that if he spoke out, Zhu Yicheng might have ordered the execution directly, but if he wanted him to surrender to the other party, he said so much just now, and he really couldn't change his words!

Seeing Zhuang Yan like this, Zhu Yicheng sat down again and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. Just now, this governor has promised General Zhuang not to force you, but the handling of the Fujian Navy is imminent. Let's do this. As long as General Zhuang can help persuade and let his subordinates no longer have any illusions, the governor cannot be able to go out with one side. General Zhuang, what do you think?"

Zhu Yicheng's persuasion for Zhuang Yan made Zhuang Yan dizzy. As the deputy general, although he is not a rude man who knows nothing, he really can't come up with any good way in the face of this situation. Moreover, what Zhu Yicheng said makes sense. If you don't want to be recruited, the other party has agreed. Even if you support you as a person to fulfill your loyalty and righteousness, you must think about the brothers below, otherwise don't blame Zhu Yicheng for being ruthless.

Finally, Zhuang Yan lowered his head and promised Zhu Yicheng to try his best to persuade his subordinates, but he hoped that Zhu Yicheng would give him some time. After hearing this answer, Zhu Yicheng smiled happily and immediately agreed.

After Zhuang Yan was taken away, Zhu Yicheng continued to sit, and then met several generals of the Fujian Navy, among which the left-behind Navy was overturned, resulting in the defeat of Shi Shipiao's guerrilla general Zhang Fei.

The routine of meeting these people is basically the same as Zhuang Yan. First, they chat with each other, then start with the other party's identity and experience, and after the conversation is almost done, they will then throw out their own tests to figure out the other party's thoughts. If they are as unwilling to defect to each other like Zhuang Yan, they will follow the previous method. If they are moved, then Zhu Yicheng will naturally have a way to recruit them.

After a while, three people were willing to surrender, one of them was the guerrilla general Zhang Fei. In fact, Zhang Fei had a hard time in the prisoner-of-war camp because although the defeat of the Fujian Navy was due to Shi Shipiao's misjudgment, the real main reason was that the remaining navy was taken care of.

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei has a huge responsibility. It can be said that it is precisely because of Zhang Fei's dereliction of duty that the Fujian Navy is now in the end. Even if Zhang Fei is released, he will not have any good fruit when he returns to Fujian. Now Zhu Yicheng comes forward to recruit him personally, and Zhang Fei hesitates and then becomes effective soon.
