Nan'ao Island General Palace is the only general palace built on an island. The young Zhu Chenggong is discussing military affairs with his subordinates in the general palace.

State affairs are worrying, but the war over the past year has made the passionate Zhu Chenggong increasingly confused.

Zhu Chenggong's real name was Zheng Sen. After the fall of the Hongguang court, his father Zheng Zhilong and Huang Daozhou and others supported the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Youjian ascended the throne and became emperor. Zheng Sen was deeply appreciated by Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian and was granted Zhong Xiaobo, the governor of the Imperial Camp, and was given the surname Zhu, and changed his name to Chenggong.

The scholar died for his confidant. Zheng Zhilong's family was arrogant and underestimated Emperor Longwu to control the government. Zhu Chenggong became the only loyal minister of the Zheng family. He was ordered by Emperor Longwu to lead troops in and out of Fujian many times to fight against the Qing army.

Zheng Zhilong and the Qing Dynasty secretly communicated with each other, which directly led to the destruction of Emperor Longwu. After Emperor Longwu's death, Zhu Cheng announced his breakup with Zheng Zhilong and led his troops south to Kinmen.

When the three emperors were united, King Zhu Yu of Tang was exiled as the younger brother of Emperor Longwu. After Zhu Chenggong learned that Emperor Shaowu ascended the throne in Guangzhou, he led his troops to Guangzhou and announced his loyalty to Emperor Shaowu.

Unfortunately, Emperor Shaowu was too weak. After he became emperor in Guangzhou, he was attacked by King Gui Zhu Youlang and King Lu Zhu Yihai. He was soon defeated and Zhu Yu was exiled to commit suicide.

Zhu Chenggong lost his loyalty again, but after the Battle of Anqing, King Lu accepted Zheng Zhilong who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was also appointed as Zheng Zhilong Ping Lu Duke. Zhu Chenggong would never surrender to King Lu.

In addition to King Lu, only King Gui was left. Although Emperor Yongli was one of the opponents to defeat Emperor Shaowu, Zhu Chenggong had to announce his surrender six months later.

Although the world is big, it cannot tolerate a passionate Zhu Chenggong. The Ming Dynasty was ruined and there was no wise ruler who could make Zhu Chenggong loyal. It was a pity.

After Zhu Chenggong changed the title of Yongli year to Zhengshuo, Emperor Yongli appointed Zhu Chenggong as King Yanping, and his troops retreated to the area of ​​Nan'ao Island to cooperate with Ding Kuichu and King Lu.

Zhu Chenggong was not very concerned about the fight against King Lu. The generals talked for a while. As the head coach, Zhu Chenggong didn't argue. In his heart, he just wanted to fight Qing soldiers and attack his father Zheng Zhilong!

After sitting for a long time, Zhu Chenggong was a little tired. "The troops on the land retreated 20,000, saying they were going to guard against the Annan people. We should not move recently. We have been killed after fighting, but we are just making room for the Tartars."

The generals knew Zhu Chenggong's intentions and stopped talking. Zhu Chenggong stretched and said, "Okay, let's get here today. I'll go out for a look!"

Leading his personal soldiers out of the General's Mansion, the salty sea breeze swept on Zhu Chenggong's body, and the cloak was whistling.

Walking from the General's Mansion to the back mountain, there is an ancient temple not too far. When Zhu Chenggong was upset, he would sit in the pavilion outside the temple, half thinking and half listening to the sound of Zen.

However, Zhu Chenggong sat for a while today, and his heart was still upset, "If everyone went to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, who would protect the family and country? How can the world be peaceful?"

Zhu Chenggong simply stood up and threw a green leaf in his hand on the ground, "Let's go, I won't come again!"

Not far away, a soldier suddenly came to report, "There were two people calling themselves envoys and asking for the meeting with King Yanping."

Zhu Chenggong said, "Where did the envoy come from?"

The soldier said, "The envoy claimed to be the Chinese army."

Two years ago, when the Chinese army conquered Nanjing, it became famous throughout the South China Sea. Wanjun once wrote letters to Zhu Chenggong, but soon after the gentry in Nanjing rebelled, and the contact between the Chinese army and Zhu Chenggong was cut off.

Zhu Chenggong turned around and returned to the pavilion, sat on the cushion and said, "Please come up."

After a while, the soldiers took the two of them to the pavilion, and they were the envoys of the Chinese army.

Yang Guimin and Yu Shengxiu said together, "Yu Shengxiu, the envoy of the Great Huaxia Empire, Yang Guimin has met Zhong Xiaobo."

The soldier beside him said, "What a loyal and filial piety, my head coach is now King Yanping!"

Yang Guimin and Yu Shengxiu changed his words, "I don't know that the king of the country has been granted the title of king, so I forgive my guilt."

Zhu Chenggong raised his hand and said, "Give him a seat!"

Soon the soldiers brought in two cushions, and the two sat cross-legged on the cushions like Zhu Chenggong. Yang Guimin said, "The country's surname is elegant and I'm here to listen to Song and Zen."

Zhu Chenggong said, "I am full of mundane things, what kind of Feng Zen you can listen to?"

Yang Guimin smiled and said, "In my opinion, the people in the country are not civilized, but major and good things that concern the people of the world."

Zhu Chenggong looked at Yang Guimin and said, "How can the envoys see it?"

Yang Guimin said, "The people in the world admire the fact that the surname of the country went south to Kinmen. It is said that the surname of the country is really a hero who is loyal and loyal to the country and has a great righteousness for thousands of years. If the surname of the country is so heroic, I think it is naturally a major event in my heart that concerns the people of the world."

Zhu Chenggong smiled and said, "The envoy is too honored."

Yang Guimin said, "This is not my words, it is really my head of state."

Zhu Chenggong said, "Well, are you talking about the army?"

Yu Shengxiu said, "That's right, my head of state has praised the king's surname for a long time."

Zhu Chenggong nodded, "I received his letter two years ago and asked me to retreat to Taiwan Island when I couldn't support it."

Yang Guimin said, "We are here to do this. The Head of State sent us to send 500,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Chenggong said strangely, "What does this mean? What is the benefit of him when I go to Taiwan Island?"

Yu Shengxiu said, "It is also beneficial to say yes."

Yang Guimin smiled and said, "The head of state is like the master of the country. They are all people who think about the stability of the world, but it is also a bit different."

Zhu Chenggong said, "What's the difference?"

Yang Guimin said, "The king of Guo is a hero who is loyal to the country, but my head of state is another kind of person."

Zhu Chenggong said curiously, "What kind of person is Wan Jun?"

Yang Guimin said, "The Head of State often said that since Yanhuang, there have been so many dynasties in the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, but the Chinese have never changed. Now that the Hu people have entered the pass, the world will repeat the disaster of the Mongol Yuan. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty forced the hair to shave and change clothes, and there is no Chinese clothing in the world. This disaster is even worse than that of the Mongol Yuan. Why can't the Chinese people unite?"

Yu Shengxiu said, "The Head of State is a person who only sees the Chinese people!"

Zhu Chenggong thought, "Huaxia?"

Yang Guimin said, "Now not only the Hu people in the north, but also the Guo surnamed also know that there are Portuguese people in Macau, Dutch people in Taiwan, and Luzon in the south. These red barbarian ships and guns are extremely powerful, and they all come from places thousands of miles away. If the Chinese do not unite, they will not only be slaughtered by the Hu people in the future, but will also be slaughtered by the Red barbarians."

Zhu Chenggong said, "What's the solution for your head of state?"

Seeing that Zhu Chenggong had been persuaded, Yang Guimin took out a letter, "This letter from my head of state to the emperor, the situation in the world has changed drastically, and the wise rulers and ministers are still fighting in the internal war. He is really short-sighted, and the master of the country has already made a decision."

Zhu Cheng took the letter and opened it, but there was a map inside. There was a red, blue and yellow pattern on the map. After a closer look, Zhu Cheng understood that this was a map.

This was the first time Zhu Chenggong saw this kind of map. Different colors marked the sphere of influence. A large piece of gray painted in the north, with Russia written on it.

Below the gray is a blue color, with the Qing Dynasty written on it. The blue color spreads to the south of the map, and there are two yellow colors of varying shades, with Lu Ming written on it and Gui Ming written on it.

Cyan and yellow surround a red color, with the words "Chinese".

The red faces westward without the text, but the colors are also different.

The map goes south, adorned with different colors, with Portugal and Spain written next to it.

At the bottom of the map, there is a sentence written in the blank space, "The world is chaotic, what do you want?"

How could Zhu Chenggong not understand the meaning? He put down the map and said, "The world is broken. I am already tired of my own people beating my own people. Since that's the case, I will go to Taiwan Island and kill the Dutch people away."

Yang Guimin clasped his fists and said, "Taiwan has been part of China since ancient times. Now the Dutch have occupied the treasure island and built fortresses to enslave the people. If the national surname can recover the treasure island, it will be a great hero who has been famous in history in China!"

Yu Shengxiu also clasped her fists and said, "The master of Guo is a real hero!"

Zhu Chenggong said, "But now there are often strong winds on the sea. We have to cross the sea to fight the Dutch people, gather supplies and wait for the typhoon to pass, and it will probably take until after October."

Yang Guimin smiled and said, "War at sea, the master of Guo is an expert. We are just here to deliver letters to the master of Guo. The master of Guo is determined by the military matters."

Zhu Chenggong felt his annoyance swept away, and he was no longer depressed. He stood up and said, "From today, fight for China!"

The soldiers said together, "Fight for China!"

The troops returned north from Lianzhou, and the journey was bumpy. Finally, they rushed back to Chang'an with Wang Huan before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Compared to Chang'an last year, the entire city now seems full of vitality.

Under the promotion of Yuan Jixian, new crops were planted throughout Guanzhong for a season. High-yield potatoes and corn, coupled with the redistribution of land, the great famine in the northwest that had lasted for many years disappeared, and the people had surplus grain, and the refugees began to gradually settle down.

Upon hearing that Wan Jun returned from the southern expedition, Cui Ziyi and others returned to Chang'an, and Zhang Sheng presented the important matters during the southern expedition to Wan Jun.

First, in March, due to the retreat of the Qing army in Guanzhong, the Qing army in Gansu was weak. Milayin and Ding Guodong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and conquered Zhangye, Liangzhou, and Jiuquan in succession, captured and killed Zhang Wenheng, the governor of Gansu of the Qing Dynasty, and Liu Liangchen, the general of Gansu.

Then in May, Shanxi General Jiang Guan, dissatisfied with Ajige's leadership of Wuzhenchao's camp to station troops in Shanxi. After hearing that Gansu had anti-Qing, he announced his anti-Qing in Datong.

In June, Wang Jun and Xie Qian, the anti-Qing army in Shandong, conquered Jining and joined forces with Li Guodong.

Finally, it was August. The latest information, Zheng Zhilong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty again and fought with Jirgalang in Taizhou. Zheng Zhilong was defeated and captured by Jirgalang and beheaded in Nanjing for public display!

Milayin and Ding Guodong's anti-Qing were things that Wan Jun had expected long ago, and there was no big difference from history. Jiang Guan's anti-Qing was nearly a year ahead of schedule due to changes in external conditions.

What the troops unexpectedly expected was Zheng Zhilong. After the last battle of Anqing, he had originally secretly communicated with the Qing Dynasty and defected to King Zhu Yihai of Lu. Later, when the gentry in Nanjing rebelled, Zheng Zhilong led his troops into Nanjing. Soon, under the favorable conditions of the Qing Dynasty, he opposed the King of Lu and announced his surrender to the Qing Dynasty again, which directly led to the changes in the situation in Jiangnan. Now he has rebelled against the Qing Dynasty again.

Zheng's control over the Southeast was powerful, from the minister supported by Emperor Longwu to the courtesy of Manqing, to surrendering to King Zhu Yihai of Lu, and then surrendering to the Qing Dynasty and rebelling again. After three or four times, he ended up in a different place, which is a pity!
