Huang Daozhou knew that Wu Zheng was right, and he was telling the truth.

He sighed helplessly: "Then... I can only treat the dead horse as a living horse. Let Li Chengdong lead this army. I can be reluctant to do so. I will supervise and guard it from the side."

Wu Zheng was stunned. He already understood that he could not stop the king and his subjects.

Looking back at Zhu Youjian who was already a little excited, and then looking at Li Chengdong whom he hated him, Wu Zheng felt a bad premonition in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, if Lord Huang can trust me, I recommend two of them for Lord Huang, and you can lead the surrendered army and defend Fuzhou."

Huang Dao Zhou was happy and said repeatedly: "At this time, I even believed in Li Chengdong. How could I not believe in Duke Zhenguo? I also asked Duke Zhenguo to recommend a good general."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Zhang Mingzhen, the deputy general of the navy under my command, can temporarily stay and lead the surrendered army to assist Lord Huang to stand firm and wait for assistance."

Huang Daozhou was overjoyed and said, "Zhang Hou was very talented and could not ask for it. Can you ask for the other Duke Zhenguo?"

"Zheng Sen and Zheng Chengcheng."

Huang Daozhou's expression changed drastically, "Zheng Zhilong raised his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the Duke of Zhenguo actually recommended his son? How could such a wolf-hearted and loving-hearted and revengeful person be in charge of the army? Your Majesty misjudged him and leaned on him as his loyalty."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Has Mr. Huang not heard that Zheng Chenggong had broken up with his father Zheng Zhilong and led his troops south to Guangdong?"

Huang Daozhou said sternly: "Who can guarantee that this was not intended for the world to see? I have advised Your Majesty long ago that there is no good person in the Zheng family, but unfortunately Your Majesty was deeply bewitched by the Zheng brothers."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If Lord Huang believed in Wu Zheng and Wu Zheng was willing to protect Zheng Chenggong, he would never surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Zheng's determination surprised Huang Daozhou, "Duke Zhenguo has an old age with Zheng Chenggong? Or are they very familiar with?"

Wu Zheng smiled and did not say anything, "In this way, Zhang Mingzhen will first lead the surrendered army, and Lord Huang sent someone to pass the imperial edict to Zheng Chenggong, ordering him to lead his army back to Fuzhou, and then observe his use, and it is not too late to make a decision."

Huang Daozhou thought about it and no longer insisted, "Since Duke Zhenguo is so convinced that Zheng Chenggong will not follow his father to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, then I would recommend it to Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty has always liked Zheng Chenggong, so he should not object."

Wu Zheng glanced at Li Chengdong in the distance and whispered: "Li Chengdong's ambitions will change at any time. Lord Huang must pay attention. If the opportunity is right,..."

Wu Zheng made a gesture, and Huang Daozhou said with a slight hint: "I know what I know."

....

Things are unpredictable.

Wu Zheng went through hardships and captured Li Chengdong, but as a result, Li Chengdong transformed himself into a general who defeated the Longwu Dynasty.

This made Wu Zheng feel extremely frustrated.

He regretted it in his heart that the moment he captured Li Chengdong, he should have cut off his head directly to pay tribute to his uncle and the soldiers and the people who died in the country in Jiading.

But at this time, Wu Zheng had no choice but to do anything.

Zhu Youjian and Huang Daozhou have regarded Li Chengdong as a life-saving straw. It is like a person who falls into the water, whether it is poison or not, he is willing to taste it.

In fact, Wu Zheng thought that this was the only feasible way to resolve the crisis in Fujian.

If the Longwu Dynasty was destroyed like this, the Qing army would mobilize its troops northward.

If Li Chengdong's 30,000 troops could really defend Fuzhou City for the Longwu Dynasty, then after Zheng Chenggong led the army to join, it would be possible to change the situation.

If it weren't for this thought, Wu Zheng would have killed Li Chengdong even if he turned against Zhu Youjian and Huang Daozhou.

....

In the evening of that day, Wu Zheng led his army straight into Fuzhou City.

The defenders with less than 2,000 people were originally under Li Chengdong's command and surrendered at the news.

The Ming army restored Fuzhou.

That night, Wu Zhengchuan met Zhang Mingzhen.

"You won't blame me if you want to stay and help Longwuchao?"

Zhang Mingzhen replied: "My sir is so serious. As long as it is anti-Qing, it will be the same everywhere."

Wu Zheng was a little excited, "Okay. Hou Fu is indeed a loyal and righteous man. In this way, I have sent someone to remove the cannons on the ship to help you defend the city."

Zhang Mingzhen was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you, sir. With these artillery, Mingzhen has fulfilled his mission."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Although there are 30,000 people in Li Chengdong's office, before they arrive, this is just a matter of his family. In addition, Li Chengdong's hands are full of blood and debts. He can't relieve his hatred when he kills him ten times. He knows it in his heart. Therefore, you must always stare at him, and don't be fooled by him. When it is really necessary, I will authorize you to kill Li Chengdong at any time."

Zhang Mingzhen replied: "Don't worry, Mingzhen opens his eyes when he sleeps, so he should be careful of him!"

Wu Zheng let out a sigh and patted Zhang Mingzhen, "Be careful!"

"yes."

Wu Zheng finally cared about Zhang Mingzhen's personal safety and thought for a while, "Wait for the waiter, I have left you a ship at the port in the east. If things are not done, you can let go of everything and go back north. This... is not our main battlefield after all."

Zhang Mingzhen was stunned, and then suddenly realized, but he shook his head and said, "My Lord is grateful for his concerns, but the country is lost, so where is the battlefield for wise people? Master does not have to worry about Mingzhen. Mingzhen does not seek to make contributions, but wants to be worthy of his heart."

Wu Zheng was moved in his heart, but this could not change Wu Zheng's existing views and judgments on this world.

Wu Zheng patted Zhang Mingzhen silently and stopped persuading him.

....

Li Chengdong did not lie about the military matter.

From the next day, more than 32,000 Qing troops arrived in Fuzhou for three consecutive days, and it was indeed the Ming army surrendered.

Under Li Chengdong's order, the flag was officially changed.

For these soldiers, changing their flags does not seem to be difficult.

Some stubborn and hesitant officers were killed on the spot.

This also prompted the soldiers to surrender.

At least on the surface, more than 30,000 people have become Ming troops.

At this time, the Qing army in Jianning Yanping and Tingzhou had already noticed the abnormality in Fuzhou and began to gather around Fuzhou.

Three days later, Zheng Chenggong was ordered to lead his army from Guangdong and returned to Fuzhou through the sea.

Zheng Chenggong brought a news that made Zhu Youjian furious. His fourth brother Zhu Youyou took office as the governor in Guangzhou under the support of Su Guansheng, a great scholar from the Longwu Dynasty.

Su Guansheng was ordered by Zhu Youjian to recruit soldiers in Guangzhou.

Before Zhu Youjian's "in-person campaign" from Fuzhou, he left his fourth brother Zhu Youyou in Fuzhou.

When Zhu Yuyou heard that the Qing army had invaded Jianning, he was so scared that he went out from Fuzhou Port and fled to Guangzhou.

It happened to meet Su Guansheng and others, and the two sides hit it off, so another country was born.

This is a mess, and a small place, one emperor and three governors, made Wu Zheng laugh and cry.
