Zheng Hailong (Zheng Zhilong) has been very depressed recently...
He finally managed to raise a team of refugees in Fujian and started a smuggling business. All his undertakings have just begun, and bright prospects are waving to him...
But inexplicably, a group of officers and soldiers came from nowhere, armed with advanced firearms that he had never seen in his life, and surrounded his stronghold with a bombardment... Although the shells all landed hundreds of steps outside his stronghold.
place, but no one is a fool... They all know that these shells were deliberately deflected by the opponent... They are just waiting for him, the leader, to come out and raise the flag to surrender...
so……
To drop or not to drop...
This is his biggest problem at the moment...
What on earth do these people... want to do!?? There are so many pirate leaders out there, why don’t you fight me! I want money now but I don’t have money! I want people and no one else! Why are you beating me!!??
Just as Zheng Hailong was leaning on his chin with a depressed look on his face, sitting on a chair puzzled, one of his subordinates suddenly ran in rolling and crawling, shouting loudly: "Fortress leader!! The opponent's infantry began to advance.
Oh!! Their muskets! They can hit farther than our artillery!!"
"What!!??"
Zheng Hailong exclaimed, his legs shaking slightly with fear...
He couldn't believe his ears! But the other party could fire three or four miles of artillery at will and kept reminding him that he had to believe it...
"Master of the village...what should we do..."
Xiao Bing was almost scared to tears. After all, just a year ago, he was just an ordinary citizen. If there hadn't been a sudden drought, he would not have been forced to follow the village leader into smuggling business and become a bandit...
…
But Zheng Hailong reluctantly stood up, and after thinking about it again and again, he resolutely issued a key order!
"Go and inform everyone! Pour all the private salt in the warehouse into the water tank! Then stir it like crazy! When it melts into the water! Break the water tank immediately! Sprinkle it on the ground!! As long as we don't have salt on our hands! Even if we are caught
It’s not a capital crime! Go quickly!!”
"Yes!! Yes!! The village leader is still smart!!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go quickly!!"
Seeing his men crawling on the ground and running out again, Zheng Hailong let out a long breath...
At any rate... let's save one life first...
Thinking of this, Zheng Hailong hurriedly looked at the panicked Second Village Leader and shouted six characters to him: "Open the village gate! Surrender!!"
"Ah? Hey! Okay! Okay!"
Zheng Hailong, who had arranged everything, looked coldly at the helpless people in the tent, and then let out another long sigh...
After all, they are just a group of refugees...
It's okay to eat and drink...
Fighting... is totally unreliable...

……………………
It doesn't take a moment...
The walled city was destroyed and the water tank was smashed. Zheng Hailong led all his men to throw away their weapons and knelt in the open space of the walled city, waiting for their end...
But what was unexpected was that when the general who looked like he was at least a Qianhu came in, he helped himself up from the dirt floor and greeted him with all kinds of polite greetings. He didn't know he thought he was here to visit.
Visiting relatives is called enthusiasm. Just when Zheng Hailong was confused and thought he was dreaming, the other party asked him another question that made his hair stand on end:
"Where are Brother Zheng's heirs? Can you bring them out together for our family to take a look at?"
"ah--!???"
Zheng Hailong screamed, and his face instantly turned pale with fright... After trembling for a long time, he stumbled and asked: "I... how much of a king's law have you violated... the general wants to destroy my whole family!??"
"Destroy the family!?? Who said we are going to destroy the family? Besides, I am not a general. I am here with the Tongshun Army Genshan Camp with Qianhu! Zhang Qishan! I have been ordered by the commander to invite Brother Zheng to join the army!!" Zhang Qishan finished speaking with a smile on his face. He bowed his hands towards Zheng Hailong.
"Enlist in the army!?? You are a Tongshun Army!!?? You think I am stupid!?? Brother Zhang! I call you Grandpa Zhang!! Just think of me as begging you! Just arrest me!" ! Spare my family! I kowtow to you!!" As he spoke, Zhang Hailong was about to kneel on the ground, but Zhang Qishan was not willing to let him kneel down, so he hurriedly pulled him up again. ...Bayi Chinese website
"Oh Brother Zheng! I really invited you to join the army on the command of the commander!! Otherwise I wouldn't have fired the muzzle of the cannon into the open space!! Just believe me!! Get up quickly! Don't make the people below laugh. …”
"real……??"
"real!!"
Zheng Hailong took a closer look at the silly smile on Zhang Qishan's face. It didn't seem to be fake. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. While brushing the dirt on his trouser legs, he whispered in a low voice: "Why does your coach like me? I Apart from being able to speak a few words... I don't have any other skills... Besides... just try to persuade me to surrender... Why are you bombarding me with big guns...? What kind of temper does your coach have? "
"Hey! Brother Zheng! I can let you scold me as much as you want! But if you say something bad about my coach, my brother, I won't do it!!" Zhang Qishan raised his hand and pushed him while he was talking, but Zheng Hailong was already at this moment. My legs were a little weak and I hadn't recovered enough to survive his slap. I quickly stood firm and said with a smile, "I don't dare! Princess Kaiyuan's name is as loud as thunder. I don't dare to be disrespectful!"
"Well! This is our great big brother! Let's go! Take us to meet our two sisters-in-law and eldest nephew!"
"Huh? How did you know that I have two wives and a son??"
"The coach told me!"
“Your Highness, Princess, you even know this!??”
"That's it! Our coach! He knows everything in the world!!"
"Haha... you said yes... then that's it..."
"Why!??"
"Okay, I won't say it! It's okay if I don't say it!"
"Um!"

two hours later
Zheng Hailong, who gathered his troops and all his relatives and belongings, got on the Tongshun Army's carriage...
Naturally, he got on the bus with his eldest son... Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong)...
But that's not all yet...
When the team reached Quanzhou, they stopped again, as if they were waiting for someone...
One day later, another team joined the march guarding a carriage, and two children of similar age were also placed on the same carriage...
"My name is Zheng Sen! I am seven years old this year! What is your name?" Zheng Sen blinked his big innocent eyes, looked at the little boy sitting opposite, and asked with a smile.
"I??"
The little boy seemed a little afraid of strangers. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before shyly replying: "My name is Shi Lang (Shi Lang)... I am... nine years old this year..."
