Chapter 1432 Zheng Sen's hesitation
At this time, Chen Yonghua's "rough" accusations made Zheng Sen's direct descendants, who were strongly advocating the tiger's fight, immediately glared at Chen Yonghua. At this moment, Chen Yonghua completely offended this group of people.
Even Zheng Sen's face was extremely gloomy. His originally gentle gaze became sharp at this time.
Did Chen Yonghua really not understand the rules? Zheng Sen led the navy north, which was the right time.
As a minister of the Yongli Dynasty in name, Zheng Sen could have come to meet the situation when Emperor Yongli issued an order to fight against the Qing Dynasty and sent Li Dingguo to lead the Western Army to the Northern Expedition, right?
Otherwise, it is not just listening to the tune or not, but it is equivalent to substantial independence.
This is something Zheng Sen, who cares about his reputation, is absolutely unwilling to do. Although his ears are a little softer and indecisive, Zheng Sen's determination in the anti-Qing incident is not inferior to Wu Zheng.
What's more, the old nest in Xiamen was taken over by the Qing army this time. How could Zheng Sen easily give up the new and old hatreds?
But this time, Wu Zheng was not fighting with the Qing court, but fighting with each other. It was indeed difficult for Zheng Sen to make a decision. You should know that the Dutch Red-haired fleet was far away from Wu Zheng. If Zheng Sen was away from him, he would not look down.
Zheng Sen knew very well that his direct descendants resented Wu Zheng, but there was another reason for the real opposition to reinforce Wu Zheng. The Eastern Federation was too close to Fujian and Guangdong. When the joint fleet of the Chinese Federation gathered in the South China Sea, many people were sent to "die".
The foreigners had no intention of getting into evil with the Zheng family navy, and only hoped that the Zheng family navy would watch and not participate.
The requirements are very simple and very affordable.
Zheng Sen also gained great benefits, with thirty European latest twelve-pound strait guns with a range of more than twenty miles, which is obviously a temptation that Zheng Sen could not refuse.
Although there was no open agreement, once the "gift" was accepted, both parties would naturally understand it.
Therefore, Zheng Sen came here to meet the situation. The reason why he asked his subordinates was nothing more than just pretending.
Unfortunately, Chen Yonghua is an alien.
Chen Yonghua was actually from a poor family, and his father passed the wrong answer, but Chen Yonghua was only a student (scholar). The Qing army went south to capture Tong'an, and his father Chen Ding hanged himself in Minglun Hall.
Zheng Sen was grateful to Chen Ding's character and took Chen Yonghua in.
Afterwards, after a conversation, Chen Yonghua was recruited as a confidant and was appointed as the military officer.
Although Chen Yonghua was only a student, his stubborn temper was deeply rooted in his bones.
The Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty turned the Ming Dynasty into a tyrannical dynasty. But in fact, the Ming Dynasty enjoyed the country for more than 200 years, which was not what the Qing people wrote.
Although the Ming Dynasty was not as open as the Song Dynasty, it was definitely not a dynasty that was guilty of words.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have been forced to stay in court for decades. How many famous ministers have been created under the famous court stick?
Is the court stick really a to block the way of speaking?
Absolutely not. If you are really guilty of words, how could so many civil servants who have been going on one after another have gained the reputation of being honest and upright?
In the Ming Dynasty, starting from Lao Zhu, he only suppressed military generals, allowing literati to transcend the struggle, and made literati a name, but destroyed it.
Chen Yonghua is also not immune to the common people. He thinks that it is right. Unless Zheng Sen seals his mouth and chops his head, he will definitely advise him!
Zheng Sen was a little angry.
Looking at Chen Yonghua who was ignorant, Zheng Sen felt disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
In Zheng Sen's view, although the Zheng family nominally belongs to Yongli, it is actually obeying the tune and not the announcement, which is related to interests. Even if Li Dingguo, a colleague of Yongli, requested joint efforts several times, Zheng Sen refused to agree to send troops, let alone Wu Zheng, the foreign dynasty?
It doesn't matter to you, just hold on high.
Perhaps four years ago, when I met Wu Zheng in Fuzhou, Zheng Sen also had the bloody spirit of Wu Zheng. After these four years of ups and downs, the bloody spirit of Fanggang is no longer there, and the rest is probably only personal interests.
Zheng Sen didn't want to save Wu Zheng, so he had a decision in his heart, but he just didn't say it.
It’s not because Wu Zheng had to be a navy in "robbed" on Qixing Island. This kind of small hatred is not a problem for Zheng Sen, who lost 200,000 troops in one battle.
The reason why Zheng Sen did not want to reinforce was that if the Wu Zheng navy defeated the danger this time, then the next thing Zheng army would face was Wu Zheng, which is completely predictable.
Just now, the Northern Expedition Army had advanced hundreds of miles northward, and the Li Dingguo Daxi Army had reached Huguang. In this way, the time for the Zheng army to recover the entire territory of Fujian was up.
If Fujian is liberated, then the Northern Expedition Army will become a "stumbling block" for the Zheng army, even stronger and more deadly than the Qing army!
Can Zheng Sen shoot himself in the foot?
After all, Zheng Sen left enough face for Chen Yonghua. He shouted out the generals and left only Chen Yonghua behind.
"Fufu, do you know that once this siege is lifted, Jiangnan will completely fall into the Yixingchao bag... No, to be precise, it was Wu Zheng's bag. The Qing army in Fujian has become a turtle in the jar, and our army is just around the corner to restore the entire territory of Fujian. But next, how will our army deal with its relationship with the Northern Expedition Army... Could it be that we are waiting for the revival of the Northern Expedition Army...?"
Chen Yonghua became quiet and followed Zheng Sen for a long time. He could naturally understand the entanglement in Zheng Sen's heart. For the Zheng army, the Northern Expedition Army was too powerful, but this did not make Zheng Sen too afraid, because the true foundation of the Zheng family was the navy.
Unfortunately, Wu Zheng’s three navy masters touched Zheng Sen’s bottom line. The foundation they rely on was challenged. How could they not be afraid of it?
Chen Yonghua waited for Zheng Sen to finish speaking quietly before speaking: "I will ask the prince one thing, if Wu fights to perish, can our army fight alone in the northern expedition? If so, how long will it take for the prince to succeed in the northern expedition?"
Zheng Sen frowned slightly and said, "The country has been in decline for five years. Most of the people of Ming people, especially the Ming people in Jiangbei, have already attached thieves..."
Chen Yonghua interrupted without hesitation: "Since the prince knows that relying solely on our army, we will not be able to fight the northern expedition in the short term, why not help Wu Zheng with his help, and fortunately, he will occupy a place in the court after the revival of the rivers and mountains?"
Zheng Sen's face shook slightly, and he stared at Chen Yonghua gloomyly and said, "Does Fufu want me to flatter Wu Zheng, ask for credit, and stay under his command?"
Chen Yonghua immediately said unsurely: "The prince misunderstood, and his subordinates had no intention... After the Northern Expedition Army fought in Jiangbei, the Qing Dynasty's energy had declined. Next, the Qing court would shrink its troops in the northwest and southeast directions in order to stop the Northern Expedition Army from swallowing north and protecting itself... In this way, a quarter of the world would appear, the Eastern Wu Contest, the Southern Prince, the Western Li Ding Kingdom, and the Northern Manchu Qing."
Zheng Sen immediately said: "Since Fu Fu thinks so too, he should naturally understand my intentions. Instead of letting a strong enemy block the way, it is better to use the hands of a foreigner to weaken his strength. In this way, after our army recovers Fujian, we can compete with him... or even take the lead. As long as we touch our army's troops to Jiangbei, we can build immortal achievements in the future."
