Chapter 204 Getting Away

"Join Chen, King Yanping asked you to check the military pay and food in the treasury. This time, I don't have to go to the military to discuss." When Chen Jinnan was about to arrive at the Anqiu County Government, he was stopped by several lieutenants and conveyed the order. Chen Jinnan instinctively received the order, turned his horse's head toward the treasury. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and said to himself: "The person was so familiar just now, but he couldn't remember it."

The personal soldiers following him said, "Join the army, that is Feng Xifan's cousin, the chief of the prince's personal soldiers."

"Oh." Chen Jinnan nodded slightly and rode his horse, but he still felt something was wrong. When he arrived at the door of the warehouse, he suddenly said: "How did the prince's personal soldiers pass on the order of King Yanping? It's not right!"

Chen Jinnan's personal soldiers also said: "I don't think it's right for me. King Yanping relies on you more. This is the main force of the Eastern Conference attack. How could I not discuss such a major event with you?"

Chen Jinnan, also known as Chen Yonghua, is a military appraisal painting that Zheng Chenggong relies on, and is also one of the few wise men among the Zheng vassals. He was praised by Zheng Chenggong as Zhuge of the times and relied heavily on it.

After hearing what the personal soldiers said, Chen Jinnan felt something was wrong and said, "No, let's go to the county government."

When he returned to the county government, there was already a team of soldiers at the door wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. It was the personal soldiers of Prince Yanping. Chen Jinnan did not show up, but sent his personal soldiers to pretend to be inside, but was blocked. The personal soldiers said, "What a big tone, no one can enter without the orders of the prince. I really don't know that our Yanping vassal is the chief of the prince."

Chen Jinnan's face had changed: "Don't talk, the county magistrate must have a big change. Maybe it's a military admonition, so we have to prepare in advance."

Chen Jinnan did not go to the warehouse, but found a ready-made clothing shop casually, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked back to his residence, but found that he had been surrounded by soldiers. He just took a look and left. When he arrived at an inn, Chen Jinnan asked: "I remember that the official documents that Xu Yong, the general of Changsha, brought in money and grain, were they still on him?"

"Here," said the personal soldier, taking out the official document from his body.

Chen Jinnan opened it and looked at it, saying, "You go to the kitchen and ask for two radishes, don't let the carrots go, you can't help but ask the shopkeeper for some ink paste, go."

When the personal soldiers were ordered, Chen Jinnan rubbed his hands and said, "Whether he can survive depends on whether the old craft has been abandoned."

"King Yanping is here!" The loud news from the central army made all the generals in the lobby of the county government stand up, and everyone bowed and bowed: "See King Yanping."

"Forget it, you are exempted from the gift." After Zheng Chenggong sat down, he said to the general in the hall: "The emperor ordered us to restore Anqiu and test the weaknesses and reality of the East Fan. Now that Anqiu is in hand, the East Fan is in a hurry to attack the invaders. How to deal with it? Do you have any good solutions?"

Speaking of this, Zheng Chenggong suddenly saw Chen Jinnan’s empty seat and asked, “Zheng Jing, where is Chen Joining the Army?”

Zheng Jing said: "Mr. Chen arranged for the people in the city to go. When the Eastern Expedition came, the local ignorant people were making a rash move. His son was worried that the soldiers would be suppressed and then there would be a rebellion. Chen joined the army and advocated to appease him, so his son gave him two hundred soldiers."

Zheng Chenggong nodded, remembering the incident of seeing soldiers force merchants to death on the county Yaqian Street today. Zheng Jing had this attitude again, perhaps he had misunderstood his son.

"Okay, this is great, for nothing, if you join the army, let's discuss the military." Zheng Chenggong said.

Zheng Fan general Liu Guoxuan stood up and crossed his hands and said, "King Yanping, my subordinates thought that the Eastern Band is coming in a fierce manner, but the Eastern Band and our Ming Dynasty are not clear, so we should be more important than to defend Anqiu first, and report to the emperor that if the emperor sends an envoy to negotiate, we cannot bear whether to fight or reconcile. If there is a conflict, we cannot bear it."

"My subordinates thought General Liu was very serious. There is no conflict yet, and everything can be discussed. If a fight starts, he will be involuntarily." Someone said supportively.

But Changsha General Xu Yong stood up and said, "No, the two armies faced each other and retreated before the battle. If you show weakness, where is the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and the morale?"

As soon as these words were said, seven or eight generals supported him. Zheng Chenggong took a look and realized that they were all Huguang generals placed under his tent. Zheng Chenggong did not express his opinion, looked at Zheng Jing and asked, "What do you think?"

Zheng Jing knew that he could not escape today, so he said, "He led the army here, and the father is the commander, and his son listened to his father's orders quietly!"

As soon as these words were said, Xu Yong and others who had just asked for a tough guy to calm down. To put it bluntly, whether to act according to Lord Hong's plan depends on Zheng Chenggong's attitude.

Zheng Chenggong's face was normal, but his heart was full of doubts. What's wrong with this today? His son, who has always had an idea, actually chose to listen to him. Why did Xu Yong and the generals of Huguang stop talking as soon as he spoke? He remembered that today, Huguang soldiers heard the orders of the Yanping Palace to kill the people. Is Zheng Jing and the generals of Huguang......

Thinking about today's weirdness, Zheng Chenggong felt more and more wrong. He had always been alert and did not dare to be careless at this time. He was most worried that he would provoke a conflict between China and Ming and become a sinner for the ages. He was about to vaguely go there first, but he saw a thousand generals coming in and reported: "King Yanping, an envoy has arrived outside!"

"What messenger?" Zheng Chenggong asked.

Mr. Qian said: "A team of cavalry came to our army to shout, saying that it was the commander of the commander, and that there was a military order to convey it."

"What a bullshit military order? I am the King of Ming Dynasty. I only listen to the orders of the emperor and the orders of the Eastern Band. It's better not to listen to them." Xu Yong cursed.

Mr. Qian said: "King Yanping, his subordinates can see clearly at the forefront. The visitor dressed up like the officers he saw when he was in Zhoushan. At that time, the prince and the prince asked their subordinates to treat each other with courtesy."

Zheng Chenggong nodded: "Let the envoy come in, that team of cavalry stays outside the camp and is not allowed to approach."

"Abide by the order!"

After a while, two young officers walked into the hall, with their uniforms straight and arrogant attitude. They held their heads up and took out a military order from their documents and said, "The commander of Zhoushan Defense Zone, Zheng, the king of Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, received the order of the Allied Command."

Zheng Chenggong hesitated for a moment. He sat upright in the main seat and was required to marching with his hands, but this was just that as the title of Ming Dynasty, he would kneel down as long as he was less than the title of title.

Zheng Chenggong did not move, but the rest of the people naturally did not move. The officer who sent the order scolded: "Zheng Chenggong, are you no longer the King of Yanping of the Ming Dynasty, or have betrayed the Zhongming alliance, how dare you take the order?"

"What are you..." Xu Yong was furious and was about to scold him, but saw Zheng Chenggong walking down, crossing his hands in front of him, Zheng Jing grabbed Xu Yong and whispered: "The father has not yet expressed his opinion, so it is not easy to force him. We will accept the order first. The father has expressed his opinion and then go to the area!"

After saying that, Zheng Jing and Liu Guoxuan and other Zheng Fan generals knelt on the ground. Xu Yong snorted coldly, then knelt down. The command officer looked at Xu Yong and said, "You are not Yanping's generals, nor are they Allied forces. Why do you kneel down to receive the order?"

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said: "These generals are now under the command of my Yanping vassal."

The commander nodded and read Li Mingxun's military order. The order first rebuked Zheng Fan's troops for not strictly guarding the flood land, and ignored the orders and left the defense zone privately. It was also said that Zheng Chenggong was deceived by villains, so he took the initiative to send troops to Shandong, and asked him to go to Zheng Cai's camp quickly and hand over the military power. The Allied forces would not blame him. If he did not follow, Zheng Cai would lead his army to attack and wipe out the rebels, and only give Yanpingfan a day to consider.

After reading the announcement, Zheng Chenggong did not accept the order, but stood up straight and said, "This vassal sent troops to Shandong this time was ordered by the emperor. How can it be considered as leaving the defense zone alone?"

The messenger waved his hand and didn't listen to Zheng Chenggong's words at all. He had no intention of debating with Zheng Chenggong. He said directly: "When I came, the head of state asked me to tell you, don't forget what he said to you in the Huaian Temple in Sijiao Mountain."

"I said, do it, don't refute it!" Zheng Chenggong will always remember that in that temple, he was beaten by Lee Mingxun, and Lee Mingxun even declared to himself in an unquestionable tone.

When talking about this matter, the meaning is very simple, and Zheng Chenggong will not give him a chance to defend himself.

"Then the head of state knows that if Zheng Cai attacked our army, would he provoke a war against the Ming Dynasty?" Zheng Chenggong asked.

The messenger smiled coldly: "This is really a stupid question. Have you already started a war when you sent troops to occupy Anqiu and expel our officials?"

"This is the Head of State who gives you an opportunity to reform and get out of the fire pit. Zheng Chenggong, don't mistake yourself!" Another person reminded.

Zheng Chenggong asked: "If I accept the order, will the United States not pursue the occupation of Anqiu?"

The messenger smiled: "It's just giving you a chance to Yanpingfan. As for other non-Allied troops and those who are cruelly killed by the people, of course, they can't let them go."

This sentence made everyone present understand that the war had begun from the moment of occupying Anqiu. The reason for this order was to give Yanpingfan a chance to withdraw from the war. As for Xu Yong and others, it was impossible for him to let him go.

"What are you guys? You dare to come and tease us, damn!" Xu Yong, who was kneeling in front of the people, suddenly stood up, drew his sword and rushed towards the commander in charge. He cut off his neck with one knife, and stabbed into another person's chest again. The speed was so fast that no one could react.

The generals present were in an uproar, and many people rolled aside, drew their swords in their hands, looking at Xu Yong vigilantly. Even the generals from Huguang with him were no exception. Zheng Jing ran over and looked at the two commanders, all of whom were gone. He said angrily: "Xu Yong, you are fucking crazy!"

Xu Yong smiled coldly and said, "Zheng Jing, come here at this time, and you're still mom-in-law. Don't you think about it. If the prince agrees and enters the Dongfan camp to be reorganized, can we still survive? Maybe our prince will capture and kill us in order to atone for his sins. Zheng Jing, you don't care about our lives or death. What about you? What about the things you did, Dongfan can tolerate you?

Anyway, the Dongfan people said that the war had begun, so the covenant was naturally gone. How did Lord Hong explain to you, have you forgotten?"

Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Jing in surprise, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Beast, what did you do with me on your back?"

Zheng Jing was shocked: "I...I don't."

"No? You promised that you would not let King Yanping take the wrong path. If necessary, you would be able to advise the emperor to enfeoff the two palaces of Su Song to your Yanping vassal? Not to mention anything else, today's military discussion, which of these soldiers in the yamen is not yours?" Xu Yong laughed aside.

Zheng Chenggong looked around for a week. Sure enough, the soldiers who were entering one after another were not his own soldiers. He was immediately furious: "Kill you, an unfaithful beast!"

With a ding, the knife in Zheng Chenggong's hand was held by Xu Yong and others. Zheng Jing escaped. He shouted: "Father, I am also planning for our Zheng family. Dongfan will never let us go. Only by trying hard can you have a chance."

Zheng Chenggong was taken away by someone and gritted his teeth: "You...you are harming the Zheng family. Use your pig brain to think about it. Why did Hong Chengchou only send Huguang soldiers instead of Jiangnan? He knew that once the war against the Eastern Federation was initiated, Jiangnan could not stop the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Southeast War Zone. Even Jiangnan was like this, where is my Zhoushan? When the war broke out, the first person in the south was my Zhoushan Yanping vassal. On the day when Zhoushan was destroyed, what kind of fighting spirit do the Yanping children still have!"

"This..." Zheng Jing did not expect this, but it was already in a difficult situation at this time.

"Criminal, the camp outside the city has sent people." Feng Xifan walked in and said to Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing asked: "What happened? Did it be that the East Band attack?"

Feng Xifan shook his head: "No, no, there are another group of messengers."

"We can't let them in. We originally had one day to plan. If the envoy saw this scene, he would probably start a war on the spot. If he stopped them, he would have to stop them!" Xu Yong reminded.

Feng Xifan said: "The prince is not the envoy of the Eastern Band, but the envoy of the Qing court!"

"Qing court envoy, why did they come?"

"Hshengzai has formed an alliance with the Qing court over there?"

A group of people were confused, only Zheng Chenggong was furious: "Zheng Jing, you beast, dare to collude with the Tartars!"

Zheng Jing knew that no matter how much he defended, it would be useless. Since he had reached this point, he would not have a chance to look back. He knew Zheng Chenggong's temper very well. Even if he succeeded one day, Zheng Chenggong would kill him. He said, "King Yanping is sick, please send him to the backyard for rest."

Zheng Chenggong was dragged down by scolding him. Zheng Jing asked Liu Guoxuan and others: "What do you want?"

Liu Guoxuan knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I will listen to the prince's order!"

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Jing also knew that he had to command in the name of Zheng Chenggong and could not kill at will, so he asked Liu Guoxuan to return to the camp and just sent Feng Xifan to follow him.
