Chapter 2 The Bold (4)
Chapter 2: The bold ones (four)
Once the Qin father and son died, there was no evidence of death. Moreover, all phenomena showed that it was suicide, not murder. Even if Zheng Ding turned his mind to the father and son, it was difficult to explain the reason for Qin Chong's suicide, which was not suicide fearing his crime.
The death of Qin's father and son made Zheng Zhilong completely fall towards Hou Er. The next morning, he told the Central Army that Hou Er was summoned to the tent of the Central Army again. At this time, Hou Er did not know the news that both Qin's father and son were both dead. Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Ding asked, he answered whatever he didn't know. He didn't know anything, and it didn't make the two of them suspicious. He passed by without any danger.
When he set up camp, Zheng Zhilong issued an order to accelerate the entire army. The army drove very quickly. Soon after, he passed through Taizhou Prefecture and entered Shaoxing Prefecture. He encountered several scouts along the way, which were deliberately arranged by Song Xiance. Zheng Zhilong put these teams under house arrest in the army and could not meet each other. The news he received was the same as that of Hou Er at the time. Therefore, he believed in what Hou Er said in his heart. Even Zheng Ding, who was suspicious, seemed to be unable to find any doubts. Although there were more and more rumors along the way, most of them were vague. In addition, Song Xiance also deliberately ordered people to spread it. Therefore, the closer it was to Hangzhou, the more the rumors Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Ding heard were similar to what Hou Er said.
Of course, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Ding are both cautious people. Wherever the 60,000 troops go, it will be difficult to hide. If the enemy deliberately spread rumors to lure him into the trap, wouldn’t he have plunged into the enemy’s trap? Therefore, the army entered the territory of Shaoxing, and the speed of the march slowed down. He ordered the scouts and scouts to dress up as various people and sneaked into four directions and hundreds of miles every day to find out the news. The army traveled no more than fifty miles per day, which was as good as a turtle crawling.
Although Song Xiance deliberately arranged for several scout teams to be placed under house arrest by Zheng Zhilong in the camp, it does not mean that he lost all the movements of Zheng Zhilong's army. On the contrary, all Zheng Zhilong's actions were under his strict surveillance, including dozens of scouts sent by Zheng Zhilong hundreds of miles away every day, he did not get any useful information at all.
"Now that Zheng Zhilong's ears and eyes have been cut off by me, and he has become a turtle in the jar. Step by step, we walked into the game we set up. Grandmaster, can you please get into the jar? "Zheng Nansheng was a little excited and asked for battle excitedly.
"Well, General Zheng is right. Under the planning of the military advisor, everything is carried out according to the military advisor's speculation. Can we slowly close the net?" This plan was created by Song Xiance. Although Hong Chengchou knew all the key points, after all, everything was planned by Song Xiance, so he naturally had to ask Song Xiance's opinions.
"Master General Zheng." Song Xiance gave a bow to the two of them first, and then raised his head, "The more critical the moment we reach, the less we can't take it lightly."
"What the military advisor said is very much." Hong Chengchou said with a look on his face.
"General Zheng, can you recruit all the ships on both sides of the Qiantang River in Zheng Zhihu's name?" Song Xiance asked Zheng Nansheng.
"Don't worry, military advisors, there are not a single ship!" Zheng Nansheng patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, everything is there, only the east wind is not needed!" Song Xiance clenched his fist and said happily.
"Come, bring the east wind up!" Song Xiance ordered.
After a while, a man wearing Zheng Zhihu's personal bodyguard came in, raised his head and bowed, "Little Man Zheng Chun greeted several adults!"
"Have you written down all the instructions you told you in the past few days?" Song Xiance asked in a deep voice.
"The villain has been recorded!" Zheng Chun dared not look up and leaned over and said.
"Zheng Chun, you are a smart person and know what to do. Zheng Zhilong is just a pirate. How can he fight against millions of royal divisions? If this happens, not only will you enjoy wealth and wealth, but the millions of people in Fujian will also be preserved because of you. This military advisor is a little envious of such merits!" Song Xiance made a promise for the last time and beat him.
"Yes, the villain understands that the villain must do what the military advisor said." Zheng Chun crawled on the ground and nodded constantly.
"Okay, Major General Wu, I'm going to leave this person to you!" Song Xiance turned and bowed slightly to Wu Sangui standing on one side.
"Don't worry, military advisor, I will save you." Wu Sangui replied with politeness. After more than half a month of contact, Wu Sangui had already looked at this ugly man with admiration. He was very proud of himself and was impressed by his genius.
"Go, be careful!" Song Xiance shouted softly at Zheng Chun who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Yes, the villain took his leave!" Zheng Chunru got up from the ground and turned around and walked out. Wu Sangui also followed him with his legs raised.
"Is this Zheng Chun reliable?" Hong Chengchou asked inquiring with a question as he looked at Zheng Chun's back.
Song Xiance smiled and said, "It's not reliable, but he has no choice. He also has a younger brother named Zheng Qiu, who is Zheng Zhihu's personal bodyguard. Although these brothers are deeply trusted by Zheng Zhihu, the relationship between master and servant is not as good as family. Moreover, Zheng Zhihu is not a good master. He is a smart person. Smart people know what they should do?"
Wu Sangui is a typical northerner and southern minister. As long as he doesn't speak, no one will be suspicious of him. Song Xiance also made the worst plan. If the plan is seen through by Zheng Zhilong, Wu Sangui's special operations team will immediately turn to carry out the "beheading" operation. As long as Zheng Zhilong is caught or killed, the 60,000 army will collapse in an instant. This can be considered a double insurance!
Of course, this was also what Wu Sangui himself asked for, otherwise Song Xiance would not dare to let the emperor take such a big risk even if he had the courage to do so.
"Report..." During the march, a cavalry rushed over, and immediately the scout jumped down and kneeled in front of Zheng Zhilong's horse.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong asked coldly by holding the reins.
"Qi Zhuo, there is a pair of men wearing our military uniforms three miles ahead. There are about 100 people, saying that the second master sent to welcome the Marquis' army!" The scout knelt down and reported quickly.
Zheng Zhilong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. Although he seemed to be a little suspicious, he followed Zheng Ding's advice and slowed down the marching speed. Now he suddenly heard that Zheng Zhihu sent someone to welcome the overall situation. He had already believed the nine levels, but now he fully believed what Hou Er said. The Qin father and son were naturally assigned to the ranks of spies. Their deaths were naturally caused by suicide fearing the crime.
"Zheng Ding!" Zheng Zhilong shouted loudly.
"I'm here!" Even if Zheng Ding had doubts, he could only put him aside and quickly responded.
"Follow me to meet the envoy sent by the Second Master to welcome this marquis!" Zheng Zhilong took the lead and rushed forward. Zheng Ding couldn't stop him, so he had to lead a group of personal guards to follow him.
"Zheng Chun, it's you!" Zheng Zhilong was so excited. He recognized the personal bodyguards around Zheng Zhihu. When they met suddenly, the only doubt in their hearts had long been thrown out of the sky. The personal bodyguards were carefully selected. Not only did they require high skills, but loyalty was the top priority. When they saw Zheng Zhihu's personal bodyguard Zheng Chun, they pushed it to the point that the second fleet was wiped out, which was purely a rumor, and he was not happy.
"Zheng Chun meets with the Marquis!" Zheng Chun was also very excited. He rolled down from the horse, raised his head and knelt in front of Zheng Zhilong's horse, and choked, not knowing whether it was because of betrayal, or deliberately acting, or both.
"Zheng Chun, what's wrong with you? You're still like before. Don't call him Marquis or Uncle." Zheng Zhilong turned over and got off the horse, and said with a weak skill.
"Yes, uncle, second master ordered the younger one to come and welcome the army of uncle..." Zheng Chun explained his purpose first according to Song Xiance's instructions.
"I received the news that the second master was shot in the left leg and He Bin was in charge of everything, but?" Zheng Zhilong asked anxiously.
"The spy is cunning, and the second master is deceived by him. If it weren't for the second master's cleverness, everything that the old master planned would have been gone." Zheng Chun said.
"It's true!" Zheng Zhilong's body shook.
"Oh, the little one almost forgot." Zheng Chun said blaming himself, "The second master wrote a letter before leaving and asked the little one to hand it over to the old man!"
"Letter, bring it!" Zheng Zhilong said quickly.
Zheng Chun hurriedly took out a wrinkled envelope from his arms, and walked up to him and wrote six big words "Brother Yifei's kiss" in a ruffled manner. Yifei is Zheng Zhilong's former name. Zheng Zhilong didn't think about it and was torn open the envelope, but was caught by Zheng Ding behind him.
"Zheng Ding, what are you doing?" Zheng Zhilong was very upset, but did not have an attack.
"Master, let me get it down and tear it down." Zheng Ding felt indescribable in his heart, and he didn't care about taking risks.
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Ding looked at each other, and looked at him with disrespect. The envelope that was being said loosened.
Zheng Ding's action made Wu Sangui and others who were disguised as Zheng Zhihu, who were disguised as Zheng Chun, suddenly became nervous, but after all, they were well-trained and not at all unnatural. Sure enough, after Zheng Ding took the envelope, he did not directly tear the envelope. Instead, he swept his eyes to Wu Sangui and other special forces team members who had already dismounted behind Zheng Ding. Seeing that they did not move any abnormalities, he quietly took back his eyes, slowly tore open the envelope in his hand, took out the letter paper, and opened it to watch.
Wu Sangui discovered Zheng Ding's gaze before, and quietly avoided him when he swept to him. He did not stand in the front row, but was hidden among the members. He was also observing Zheng Zhilong and others, and then he avoided Zheng Ding's gaze. Fortunately, his subordinates were shiver and well-trained. If they were ordinary soldiers, they would definitely show their strength. They couldn't help but secretly say lucky, and at the same time they also kept their hearts on Zheng Ding. Unexpectedly, there was such a powerful person beside Zheng Zhilong. In an instant, Wu Sangui had a certain plan in his heart. If he had to launch a "beheading" operation, Zheng Ding should be ranked above Zheng Zhilong and killed first.
"My lord, it's the handwriting of the second master, and his tone is exactly the same as that of the second master." Zheng Ding glanced a few times, handed the letter back to Zheng Zhilong's hand, and said softly in his ears.
Zheng Zhilong's face was better, and he thought to himself that Zheng Ding was too cautious and he didn't believe it. Who else could he trust? He snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction, took the letter and looked at it.
"So that's it!" Zheng Zhilong breathed a long sigh. At this moment, Zheng Zhilong had no doubt about the deep letter written on Hou Er and the letter.
"Send the order and double the speed of the march. After three days, we will meet in Hangzhou!" Zheng Zhilong immediately issued a military order to march rapidly.
At this time, Zheng Chun was relieved, Wu Sangui also breathed a sigh of relief, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the task had been completed, and it would be clear how Zheng Zhilong was obediently involved.
"The second master has ordered the recruitment of all ships along the Qiantang River for the purpose of the army crossing the river." Zheng Chun said without missing the opportunity.
"Okay!" Zheng Zhilong was ecstatic. He knew that this order must not be a reckless second child. He Bin, who was in charge of the affairs, would only handle the matter in an orderly manner. It seems that the injury of the second child is not a bad thing. First, at least he has a memory. Second, let him persuade He Bin. If he was asked to take charge of the government affairs, it would probably make Hangzhou Prefecture mess up.
