Chapter 510

When Zuo Liangyu returned home, it was already dawn. As soon as he got home, he ordered someone to find his armor.

"Father, what happened when your mother called you into the palace in the middle of the night?"

"Ha ha, son, we've finally come to an end."

Zuo Liangyu laughed and explained to his son that he wanted to lead the army again to destroy Zheng Zhilong.

"Father, so here's our chance to make a comeback?" Zuo Menggeng said excitedly.

He has been holding his tail for more than half a year. Last December, he was worried all day. He was afraid that the fan son of the supervision office would come to the door to copy his family and catch people. The whole person lost ten or twenty kilograms. He had had enough of this kind of days under the fence of others.

"Presumptuous! Don't talk nonsense. Are you trying to kill my left family? " Zuo Liangyu's face changed greatly and scolded quickly.

"Father, what are you afraid of? There are no outsiders anyway. " Zuo Menggeng didn't care.

"Son, my father knows that you are not willing, but the situation is over. Let's not say whether my father can take the opportunity to make a comeback this time. Even if he can succeed, he will end up in ruin. Therefore, it's better to take this opportunity to fight for a title for my father. Now we don't lack money. If you have another title, it will be enough to ensure that several generations of our left family have enough food and clothing!"

Zuo Liangyu sighed. Instead of scolding his son this time, he patiently taught him.

Now he is old, and his old injury has recurred this year. Every day his body is getting worse, he has long extinguished his desire to dominate the world. He just wants to be a rich man. If he is not really worried about his son, he will not stand up this time.

"But father, there are so many silver women in our family. Will Qin Huan let us go?" Zuo Menggeng said with some worry.

"Don't worry, your majesty has been guarding against me, but your majesty is actually very broad-minded. If you really want to move us, you will start the last family copying storm and the fight against gangs and evil this time. Therefore, as long as you clean up Zheng Zhilong for your father this time, you will have enough peace of mind in the future. This time you go out with your father, and then your father can help you." Zuo Liangyu waved his hand.

"All right!"

Zuo Menggeng had to nod helplessly.

At noon, Zuo Liangyu and Niu Jinxing took nearly 50000 troops south to Hangzhou, including 2000 guards, 5000 garrisons and 40000 recruits, and the Navy had to start earlier.

However, at this time, the city of Hangzhou had already been broken. Zheng Sen arrived at the mouth of the Qiantang River with 10000 elite in the middle of the night yesterday. Instead of landing, the army sailed directly into the Qiantang River by boat.

At dawn, the water gate was opened and the wharf was directly occupied. The army easily entered the city, and the defenders in the city had no time to respond.

It's still because everyone has a poor awareness of coastal defense. After all, Japanese pirates have not washed and disturbed the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang on a large scale for many years. In addition, for the sake of economy, the cities along the coast are relatively open. Even the north gate of Hangzhou is open at night, which is convenient for the team to enter and leave the city at night.

Zheng Zhilong was also very happy to learn that his son had taken Hangzhou. After the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Qiantang River at dawn, the army directly landed, and then rushed to Hangzhou. Except for some small boats transporting grain, grass, baggage and firearms, other warships did not delay for a moment, and all followed Zheng Bao to Songjiangfu in the north.

Zheng Zhilong took the army and didn't arrive in Hangzhou until dusk. At this time, Zheng Sen had already controlled the whole Hangzhou city. While soliciting the gentry and merchants in the city, he sent people to publicize everywhere, posted notices, recruited troops and horses, and was ready to do a big job.

What the father and son never expected was that all the gentry and merchants in the city kept silent, and the recruitment notices were posted for two days. No one came to participate. Instead of sending envoys, the surrounding counties closed the city gate and strengthened their vigilance.

"Sen'er, didn't you say that as long as our army breaks through Hangzhou, it will be supported by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River? But it's been two days. Why hasn't there been any movement? And those mud legs, don't they like silver? "

Zheng Zhilong's face has turned black to the bottom of the pot. The gentry and merchants in the city, no matter how he threatened and lured, just refused to give up, and there was no movement in the nearby counties.

What he couldn't accept most was that no one came to sign up for the army for the settlement fee of 20 Liang silver, which was really shocking.

Unless the people here are rich and oil-rich, or are timid and afraid of death, it is impossible. Even the richest places have poor people who are not afraid of death.

"This... Father, I didn't expect that the people near Hangzhou would be so rich that there was not even a beggar in such a big city, and there was surplus food in every village in the four fields."

Zheng Sen was embarrassed, but he was more shocked and confused. Even the ordinary people, but those gentry and businessmen Jia Mingming hated Qin deeply. According to reason, at this time, the Jiangnan was empty. Isn't it a good time for the Zheng family to turn over?

In fact, those ordinary people had no hope at all from beginning to end, and their attitude was not related to the overall situation. It was the gentry who could really control the situation.

They don't know that today's Zhejiang is no longer the former Zhejiang. Those boastful and arrogant Donglin partisans have been either copied and exterminated or imprisoned.

The rest were businessmen and gentry who kept themselves in line. Such influential families did not exist at all.

Ordinary people also have their own mulberry fields more or less. Men farm and women weave every day. The prices are cheap. The days are getting better and better day by day.

The local economy is also developing very rapidly. The businessmen are making a lot of money. They don't have to worry about killing the county magistrate and copying the magistrate. As long as they pay the tax and don't violate the Qin law, you will build a palace and marry a hundred wives and concubines, and no one will take care of you. Therefore, almost everyone is full of hope for the future. They just wait for Qin Huan to officially learn from them after he unifies the world, The devil is willing to rebel with the Zheng family.

Even the local ruffians, mountain bandits and bandits have disappeared completely in this anti underworld and anti evil action. Those lazy beggars have been sent to Shanghai, so there are no opportunists.

"Why don't you pick two big families to make an example, or go to the four fields to catch young people?" Zheng Zhilong tried to say.

"Father, don't do it. Doing so will only make us completely lose the opportunity to stand in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zheng Sen was very anxious and hurriedly advised them that they came to dominate the world. If they really follow their father's idea, they will have to grab one vote back in the end.

"What do you say?" Zheng Zhilong was also a little angry and had no idea at all. However, he also knew that if the people did not join, the gentry did not support it and all localities did not respond, it would be useless to fight down Hangzhou.

"I guess the gentry all over the country don't want to resist, but kill too much. Everyone is worried. As long as we fight down Nanjing, the gentry and scholars all over the country will naturally have no worries at all. They will stand up and support their father, and the States and counties in Jiangnan will also make a call!" Zheng Sen thought.

"Good! Then it's not too late. Tomorrow we'll wave our troops north and go straight to Nanjing! " Zheng Zhilong nodded and beat the wall stack hard.

No one supports or joins in. Attacking nearby cities is a waste of troops and time. Even if it is broken, it will not play any role. Instead, it will send troops to garrison. Therefore, it is better to put all your eggs in one basket to fight Nanjing.
