The first thousand one hundred and seventy-one chapters
This is not to say that Wu Zheng admired Shi Lang so much that he wanted to overturn the case for Shi Lang's crime of surrendering the Qing Dynasty.
But Wu Zheng believed that Shi Lang had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty at the moment, and it was unfair to punish Shi Lang because of what had not happened yet.
Besides, Wu Zheng didn't think that Shi Lang would end like Zheng Chenggong's subordinates.
If Shi Langzhen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty according to history, Wu Zheng also made a decision, and he would be killed in the ends of the world!
"Shi Lang, I ask you, are you asking for a surrender in front of the formation? Is it a temporary idea or has this intention already?"
Wu Zheng’s first question was asked very sharply.
The temporary intention was to explain that Zheng Chenggong's sudden order to retreat led to a strange intention in Shi Lang and his central troops. This was incompatible with the law and was understandable.
If you have this intention long ago, you will be corrupt. Because your boss is unfair to you, you will just leave. But if you turn against each other in front of the battle, causing the army to fall into extreme passivity, then you will be unethical and moral.
Out of Wu Zheng's expectations, Shi Lang replied: "Reply to the words of King Wu, Shi... has long had this intention."
Wu Zheng's eyes flashed and he sighed slightly in his heart. Although this person has talent, he is really not worthy of use.
"So, from the beginning, you have thought about turning against each other before the battle?"
"Yes." Shi Lang did not hesitate at all. "King Yanping has always been afraid of Shi. No matter how hard I fight on the battlefield, it will be difficult to win the favor of King Yanping."
Wu Zheng hesitated a little. The person in front of him was still different from what he originally thought. Is he really born a rebellious person?
But in history, Shi Lang's attack on Dongfan did not, like Wu Zixu, digging the tomb and whipping the corpse to vent his anger at Zheng Chenggong, but instead went to pay tribute to him personally. This shows that the times can still affect people and resolve their anger.
"You betray the old master because of this?" Wu Zheng asked lightly.
Shi Lang replied: "It's not entirely because Shi is not valued... The King of Wu must have no idea that Shi was framed by Hao Shangjiu of Haiyang and was ambushed before, and decided to leave Li Chengdong and surrender to King Yanping in order to avenge the arrow. However, King Yanping has a large army of 20,000, but he has never been willing to advance eastward and attack Haiyang City. Even military advisor Chen Yonghua has made several suggestions, all because King Ping of Yan'an is indecisive. As a result, Li Chengdong of Huizhou and Qing army reinforcements arrived in Fujian, and Zheng's army missed the opportunity... But because
Shi's advice, King Yanping demoted me to Xiamen. Not long ago, the Qing army in An happened to attack Xiamen. Zheng Zhiguan, the uncle of the Yanping royal family, was afraid of fighting, so he watched the Qing army plunder outside the city. Shi could not bear to see the people being slaughtered, and led dozens of people to attack decisively and repel the Qing army. He originally thought that King Yanping could regain Shi on his merits and let Shi serve in front of the army again. Unexpectedly, he only rewarded 200 taels of silver... King Wu, such a lord, Shi could no longer see any future for his success, so how could he not rebel?"
Wu Zheng asked with a smile: "But if I don't come, who will you go to surrender to? You shouldn't know in advance that the Wusong Navy will join forces with the former Wang Deren's troops to enter the Fujian-Guangdong waters, right?"
This is the key to the problem and what Wu Zheng cares most about.
This time, even he had a temporary plan to make plans for Wang Yilin to take over Wang Deren's navy. Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin cooperated with him, intending to teach Zheng Chenggong a lesson and avenge his own corner of the corner, and at the same time shocked Zheng Chenggong, making him dare not dare to make up for the northward entry into the eastern Zhejiang waters again.
So, since Shi Lang had long been thinking of betraying Zheng Chenggong, what would Shi Lang choose if he didn't come? Apart from Zheng Chenggong, there were only Qing troops in Fujian and Guangdong. Does he want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?
If this is true, then I can't blame me! Wu Zheng made a decision in his heart.
Wu Zheng has always believed that the harm of talented people without virtue is far greater than that of talented people without virtue.
So, if Shi Langzhen has already decided to surrender, then he will definitely kill him!
Wu Zheng was smiling and asked naturally, as if he was asking casually.
But Zhang Mingzhen heard the difference in Wu Zheng's tone.
Speaking of which, Zhang Mingzhen and Shi Lang celebrate some small festivals.
Two years ago, Wu Zheng led the Zhoushan Navy to rush thousands of miles to rescue Longwu. After succeeding, Wu Zheng stayed Zhang Mingzhen and helped Longwu defend Fuzhou City.
At that time, Li Chengdong surrendered to Longwu. Although Wu Zheng was in a guest place, he was in the guest place and Li Chengdong had already joined Longwu, so he did not get what he wanted.
Shi Lang was ordered by Li Chengdong and led his troops to cooperate with Zhang Mingzhen to defend the northern city. It was because Shi Lang was unruly and repeatedly contradicted Zhang Mingzhen, which made Zhang Mingzhen very troubled.
This also corresponds to the saying that even the most talented people need to be restrained.
Otherwise, the trees will be beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy them.
And Shi Lang may not be called Xiumu.
But Zhang Mingzhen is also a person who cherishes talent. As a former temporary boss, he actually has a good impression of Shi Lang.
As for people, there are always different things. Some people can't stand their subordinates as capable as they do, or they are worried that their subordinates will be more successful than themselves.
But some people have a broad mind, can tolerate their subordinates' temper, are willing to tolerate, and even don't care, maybe one day, their subordinates will become their boss.
But often, the former forces the subordinates to rebel, while the latter is always above the subordinates.
Since ancient times, heroes and heroes have one thing in common, that is, they are good at using talents!
Zhang Mingzhen inadvertently blocked forward and bowed and said, "Prince, today Shi Lang can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the prince's command, always..."
Wu Zheng frowned, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Mingzhen away, and said to Shi Lang: "Answer my questions truthfully and do not hide them."
Although Shi Lang has a reckless personality, he is still smart and clever.
At this moment, cold sweat oozed out from his back, and he quickly recalled that Wu Zheng was testing whether he would have the will to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
So he hurriedly said, "King Rong of Wu, even if Shi was unjustly killed, he would not dare to be willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty... Besides, Hao Shangjiu had the blood feud to kill my brothers of two clans, how could I surrender to him? I will not hide it from the King of Wu. In fact, before this war, Shi deliberately led his troops to surrender to the King of Wu by sea."
Wu Zheng looked calm and glared at Zhang Mingzhen, then said to Shi Lang: "There is one thing that I can't figure out, so please help me solve my doubts."
Shi Lang bowed and said, "With the King of Wu, Shi, even if he asks, he will answer."
Wu Zheng said: "Your family is all in Fujian. How can King Yanping spare your family as soon as you surrender? Are you not worried about the safety of your relatives?"
This is something that Wu Zheng is also worried about. If a person ignores the safety of his relatives, then even if he is talented, he is still an unreliable person because he has no feelings and is cold-blooded. Such people often betray at critical moments or when they make a decision on life and death.
Shi Lang immediately replied: "When I returned to the words of King Wu, when I decided to join the King of Wu, I knew my father and brothers at home. Before going to war with King Yanping, someone had been sent to notify my family."
Wu Zheng asked, "Where is your family right now?"
"I should have returned to my original hometown of Jinjiang."
