Zheng Zhibao is still in the city of Anping to appease the top leaders of the Zheng family. If they want to control the Zheng family's fleet, they must appease these top leaders, lure them to benefit, give benefits, make these officers and soldiers benefit, and then work for them.
This is actually quite easy, because the Zheng family is actually born as pirates. It's not a big thing to encourage them to rebel and rob. The key is to benefit them.
Zheng Zhilong has got what he wants, that is, he has been granted the title of king of Lu. For generations, he can enjoy the sacrifice of his people in the kingdom of king of Lu. There is no need to do it. Some people enjoy prosperity and wealth, so he smoothly handed over his rights and is ready to go to the state of Lu.
Of course, Zheng Zhibao was also afraid that Zheng Zhilong was just a suspect, so he sent a battalion of soldiers to protect him from colluding with the old army.
The Zheng family is originally composed of pirates, which determines that the structure between them is so mercenary. If they have interests, they can unite and gather everyone together. Whoever has a hard fist can let others listen to you and work for you.
Zheng Zhibao now wants to establish his authority and position in the Zheng family. There are no more than several aspects. One is to exercise power. Those who obey me will prosper and those who oppose me will die. The other is to give benefits to others. As long as you obey me and work for me, I can ensure your prosperity and endless enjoyment. That's it, To make them work for them at ease.
Zheng Zhibao met with groups of Zheng family officers, understood their trends, and made promises and guarantees to them.
And he can only issue edicts in the Zheng family's Catholic Church, use the facilities here to order the whole Zheng family fleet in Japan or Nanyang to return here and swear allegiance to himself.
The Zheng family has an extremely huge network. Originally, their Zheng family focused on the opposite treasure island. Since Yan Siqi's large-scale opening, they have used this as a base to occupy here, go out to fight and expand their power.
After the Zheng family accepted the recruitment, their strength began to gradually extend to the mainland, first controlling the Penghu patrol inspection department, and then entering the inland. Of course, they can only mix in the coastal area.
However, their fleet patrols as far away as the South China Sea. It is said that their sphere of influence is to the east of the Strait of Malacca. In this area, all ships sailing on the sea cannot sail normally without their command flag. Even the warships of the Dutch East India Company must fly their yellow flag, otherwise they will be attacked, It can be seen that they are overbearing.
Such a powerful force must be able to cross the world, but Zheng Zhilong used the wrong place. He was originally a dragon in the sea, but let it mix in the swamp. Liu Bu decided to change this. He should cross the sea and establish a circle of Chinese civilization.
What Zheng Zhibao wants to do now is to make the ship owners and captains of these places have to accept new orders. All people swear allegiance to him and obey his orders and arrangements. The most important thing is that Zheng's navy is officially adapted into Liu's navy.
While he was busy with these things, he heard the war report from Xiao Ning that they had quickly captured Quanzhou and were cleaning up the remaining evils in the city.
The elders and officers of the Zheng family were surprised to hear that such a big Quanzhou City let them attack in half a day.
You know, they all made an idea about Quanzhou. In those years, they sent tens of thousands of people to besiege Quanzhou, and they were beaten back. Liu Jun unexpectedly took Quanzhou city so easily. Especially, he was born to eat the bowl of food of rebellion. Attacking the city and occupying the land was like eating and drinking water.
As soon as they heard that Quanzhou was attacked, many people's hearts warmed up. They knew that there were many rich families here, Jinshan and Yinshan. If they could occupy some territory here, it would be great.
Zheng Zhibao knew that he was seizing power in the Zheng family. In fact, his prestige was not so high, and his people didn't obey him, so he saw that these people were ready to move, so he said loudly, "since Quanzhou has won, let's share some benefits and go hunting."
This is to allow Zheng Jun's officers and soldiers to rob openly. This is a way to buy their hearts. If they rob them, they will not be able to turn back and return to the court. Moreover, once they get benefits, the two sides will unite closely and inseparably.
In the past, Lao Zheng always asked people to do one vote first, which is called Na tou's name.
More importantly, Zheng Jun's morale is not high and his recognition of Liu Jun is not high. After sharing the victory and benefits, they will begin to have a sense of honor and glory in this regard.
As soon as they heard that they could go hunting in the city openly, these people screamed happily and immediately said loudly, "thank you for being in charge!"
Zheng Zhibao corrected and said, "Zheng dashai."
All the people said in unison, "Xie Dashuai!" then they took their weapons and prepared to go hunting in the city.
These officers and soldiers of the Zheng family excitedly took the guys and took their own soldiers and teams to hunt in Quanzhou City.
They rushed into the city, saw gold and silver treasures, robbed them, saw beautiful women, carried them home, saw a beautiful house, killed its owner and occupied its house, and did a good job. This is the happy life of gratitude and hatred pursued by these pirates.
You should know that although they nominally wash away the thief's name and become an official Army from pirates, they are only nominally an official Army, but they have no authority to be an official. Moreover, because they are new here and have a criminal record, they are conscientious in whatever they do for fear of going wrong.
And the officials did not regard them as officials, nor did they regard them as adults. Instead, they should bully, bully, oppress, and oppress, making them very embarrassed and living very cowardly.
Like Zheng Zhilong and others, their life is beautiful, but like these lower level officers and soldiers, their life is really bad. They have been bullied by these officials and powerful people, and have long endured a lot of fire. This is why some people encourage to follow the Liu family to rebel.
Now they have finally followed the Liu family army to revolt, so they are all fighting on a large scale. Now they rush into the city, cut down what they don't like, and rob what they like. It's called revenge, revenge, and some people take the opportunity to set fire. The whole prosperous Quanzhou City has suddenly become a fire hell, which is tragic.
Zheng's soldiers are wantonly robbing property and killing, while Liu's army is seizing all parts of the city, such as occupying the magistrate's Yamen, occupying the warehouse, occupying the granary, etc., and has not joined the ranks of these murders, arson and robbery.
Liu Jiajun's soldiers have a strong sense of discipline, but their discipline is very iron and blood. There is no order from the top, and the people below dare to mess around, which is a dead end.
But they did not stop Zheng Jun's people from doing so, because they had already received the above instructions, which is that all this was tacitly approved by the above.
This can not help but make some soldiers feel angry. Why Zheng Jun's soldiers can acquiesce in such benefits without making an inch of achievements, but they have nothing in the bloody battle to seize the city.
But the orders handed down from above are beyond doubt. They still follow the orders.
Xiao Ning also entered the city. He moved his division into the magistrate's Yamen. On the one hand, they have recently controlled the city. After they control Quanzhou, they will soon move to Zhangzhou Prefecture and Fuzhou.
The Liu family sent Xiao Ning here, not just to take a Quanzhou, but to take the whole Fujian, break a new battlefield, and echo Liu Bu's actions in Nanjing.
Seeing the mess in the city, he frowned and said, "Zheng Shuai, I'm afraid it's wrong to do this?"
Zheng Zhibao also knows that doing this is actually losing the support of the people, but he has no better way to let Zheng Jun's people obey orders, he also wants them to have no way to escape, and frighten the enemy.
He mostly wanted to frighten the enemy through such things. When he officially issued a call to the eight governments in Fujian, these people just didn't dare to resist and had to obey. Where Liu Jun ordered, they should surrender to the city immediately, otherwise Quanzhou would end up.
Fujian is such a big place, with eight prefectures, nearly 50 counties and so many counties. If we fight one by one, it is estimated that we will not be able to fight for ten or eight years. These Daming officers have illusions about Daming, guard according to the city and resist the army. This is not good.
Since they dare to resist the army, they must pay a price for it. To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhibao is still implementing: those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die. If someone dares to resist his army, there will be terrible revenge.
So Zheng Zhibao said to him, "benshuai has his own ideas. Pegasus returns to Jinan and Fujian. Everything is under control."
Since Zheng Zhibao has made a decision, Xiao Ning doesn't dare to resist.
In terms of his rank and power, Zheng Zhibao is above him. Even this time, Zheng is the main and he is the auxiliary.
From the perspective of birth, Zheng Zhibao is Liu Bu's father-in-law, and Xiao Ning is only Liu Bu's domestic slave. Thanks to the love of his master's family, he returned to his surname, but the two sides can't speak in the same breath. Since the above has issued a clear order, as a soldier, he is right to carry out it clearly.
As a soldier, Xiao Ning also takes obeying orders as his bounden duty. He knows that Zheng Zhibao's doing so, although sinister, is the only way to quickly solve Fujian affairs.
In this way, we can quickly distinguish between the enemy and ourselves. Those who are willing to submit to the Liu family will surrender, while those who are not willing to submit will resist. What he has to do is to bring those who are willing to submit into the flag and eradicate those who are not willing to submit.
