Chapter eight hundred and thirty first undercurrent

Zheng Chenggong led some confidants to discuss countermeasures in the hall, and the generals were driven out of the hall. Huang Wu looked around and thought that things were like this today. It was hard to guarantee that those generals of the direct line did not secretly attack, but to form cliques to ensure their safety.

Huang Wu looked at the brothers Wan Yi and Wan Lu around him and whispered: "Brothers, are you free at night? Go to your brother to have a drink?"

Wan Yi is a big boss who likes to drink, but Wan Lu still has some tricks. Today he saw that the trouble had already started, so he would rather find a few allies to avoid being stolen by those direct generals. So Huang Wu said that it was right.

"Okay, Brother Huang, we brothers will be here tonight!"

When Huang Wu saw the Wan brothers nodding in agreement, he found Liu Jun and Yan Wangzhong in the crowd and invited them to gather at his home tonight, and the people agreed.

Hong Xu, who was the direct general, had already noticed it. When Hong Xu saw Huang Wu talking sneakily, he seemed to be malicious. Hong Xu thought about it and turned back to the palace and reported the news to Zheng Chenggong.

At the end of the evening, Wan Yi and Wanlu came to Huang Wu's home. Zheng Chenggong had just occupied Chengtian Mansion, so naturally the Dutch castle became the Yanping County Prince's Mansion, but the generals could only live in private houses. Now there are less than 10,000 people living in Chengtian Mansion, so the housing was very tight. Even as the general of Huangwu Town, there was only one ordinary yard with three inside and outside.

Huang Wu used to be a yamen runner in Pinghe, Zhangzhou. Because he was not in harmony with Bantu, he hacked the magistrate, Bantu and others to death, and brought more than a dozen people to Zheng Chenggong. Then he fought in Zheng's army for several years and became a general. Huang Wu's family was in Pinghe, and there were no people in Taiwan. There were only one concubine he stolen and several servants at home.

The servant put the wine and vegetables on the cloth, and was driven out by Huang Wu. After all, it was not good to discuss major issues tonight, so that outsiders could hear it.

Huang Wu poured wine for a few people and said, "Brothers, thank you for your appreciation. Come to my broken house to drink!"

Wan Yi liked the things in the cup, raised his glass and drank it all, and said, "Brother Huang, this is a good wine from Guangdong. You have invested in today!"

The wine I drank tonight was Wuliangye, a famous wine from Guangdong (of course, this name was shameless Zhu Hongsan plagiarized later generations. The name of Wuliangye only appeared during the Republic of China period, and was previously called Mixed Grain Wine). It is said that Emperor Shenwu entered Baiyun Mountain and was then brewed. This wine tasted soft and fragrant. I heard that Emperor Shenwu made it with five kinds of grains, so it was called Wuliangye.

In fact, these are all gimmicks created by Zhu Hongsan. Of course, what he drank was the real Wuliangye, but what he sold was made of sweet potatoes. However, for the sake of good taste, an appropriate amount of sugar was added to the wine, so it tasted soft and fragrant. However, this wine was autocratic to the royal winery, and only a small part of it spread to the outside. In Fujian on the other side, one hundred silver dollars were sold per jar, so today Huang Wu put in the capital to take out this wine.

These generals are all drunkards, so they naturally know how good or bad the wine is. After entering the mouth, their eyes lit up, and they all drink like vicious dogs pooping their poops.

Huang Wu was happy to see the few people drinking, and asked in a low voice: "How about the wine? I got it when I was robbing a Guangdong merchant ship. At that time, the merchant ship had a total of hundreds of jars of this kind of wine, but I dare not take it too much. After all, I had to offer it to the prince. At that time, I only left three jars, and in the past few years, there was only one jar left!"

Wan Yi drank so happily. He heard Huang Wu say this and said distressedly: "Brother Huang, how embarrassed we have to drink your wine!"

Huang Wu laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are some such wines in the future, and it's okay to take a bath inside!"

Wan Yi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Take a bath? This is a jar of good wine with a hundred silver dollars, so how much bath?" One hundred silver dollars are equivalent to one hundred and fifteen taels of silver. You can buy fifteen acres of good land in the mountainous Fujian.

"Haha, silly brother, although this kind of wine is expensive, I heard that the generals of Emperor Shenwu are unlimitedly supplied!"

Wan Lu just drank and didn't say anything. He knew that something must be happening when Huang Wu came to see him today. Now, after Huang Wu explained this clearly, it turned out that Huang Wu was planning to surrender.

"Brother Huang, my brothers are not very sensible. Just say anything. Why do you come to us today?"

When Huang Wu heard Wan Lu's question, he didn't hide it and said directly: "Everyone, you have seen everything during the day today. Those generals of the direct line don't treat us as human beings at all. They don't want to attract attention because they live well. I heard that there are many women in Hongxu's family, but what about us brothers? You have to think about it when you drink wine. What's the point of living like this?"

After Huang Wu finished speaking, he looked at the people and found that everyone bowed their heads and didn't say anything. He knew that there was a way to say what he said just now: "Wan Yi, did you just rob a woman before the New Year? You were beaten to a fifteen-five-army stick by the prince. The injuries on your body have not healed yet, right? Liu Jun, why are you embezzling military pay for? Don't you just want to live a better life? Just because of this, the prince almost beheaded. If we hadn't saved you desperately, you might have been taller than the grass on your grave?"

Zheng Chenggong was very strict in his military administration, and he had to engage in military law for a small mistake. These surrendered generals were used to being free and could bear this place, so they basically suffered from military law.

Wan Yi was a little drunk. When he heard Huang Wu's words and was beaten with the 15th Army stick, he angrily slapped the table and scolded: "Fuck your mother Zheng Damu..."

Wan Lu was very scheming. Seeing that his brother was about to cause trouble, he quickly stopped his brother and said, "Brother, don't talk first!"

"Brother Huang, then what are you going to do?"

Liu Jun and Yan Wangzhong are not fools either. Such major rebellion is not a joke. Let’s listen to what Huang Wu wants to do first!

"Several, Emperor Shenwu has decided to regain Taiwan, but he is only prepared to negotiate with Zheng Chenggong because he has no route. If we send people to the other side and tell Emperor Shenwu about the high tide time of Luermen, are you saying it's a great achievement?"

There are two routes to enter Chengtian Prefecture from the sea outside Taiwan. One is Dayuan Port, called the Southern Channel, between the tail of the North Line and Yikun Body. The other is the Northern Channel, between the tail of the North Line and Luermen Island, which is the "Luermen Channel". The entrance of the South Channel is wide and the water is deep, and the ships are easy to enter, but the port has warship defense and heavy artillery on the land overlooking. If you enter from here, you must go through battle before you can pass, and it is difficult for the fleet to land here. The northern channel is shallow and narrow, and can only pass through small boats, and large ships must pass at high tide.

When Zheng Chenggong got the help of He Tingbin, he chose to enter Luermen Port, mainly because he mastered the tide and flood rules in the place. That is, when the tide on the first day of each month and the tide on the 16th day of each month, the water level was five or six feet higher than usual, and boats of all sizes could enter. Zheng Chenggong rushed in from Penghu to cross Luermen during the tide on the first day of the tide.

This news is not a big secret in Zheng Chenggong's army, but the Ming army on the other side does not know. If the news is revealed to the Ming army, then what else can we talk to? The Ming army will directly call it.

Just as Huang Wu finished speaking, someone outside the house said: "Haha, I guessed it right. You bastards really want to go to the other side!"

At this time, the door of the house was kicked open by someone outside. When Huang Wu saw that something was wrong, more than a hundred soldiers stood in the yard, and Hong Xu was the leader.

It turned out that when Hong Xu saw Huang Wu forming a gang, he knew that this guy was not in good intentions, so he re-entered the palace to report to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong didn't really believe what Hong Xu said at first. After all, Zheng Chenggong treated his generals equally and didn't really believe that they could rebel.

But Chen Yonghua said on the side: "Prince, in this extraordinary time, you must not be ruthless. If the prince does not want to wrongly accuse the good people, you can arrest these people first and then try them slowly. But what if you really want to rebel? Huang Wu has three thousand men and thousands of men, and the Wan brothers also have thousands of men. In addition to the others, half of Taiwan's army is in their hands. It is no trivial to get in chaos!"

Zheng Chenggong is a hero who knows that he must make a quick decision when doing anything. So Zheng Chenggong thought about it and said to Hong Xu: "Brother Hong, you bring 300 people with you, and ambush near Huang Wu's house at night. When he saw other people in, he would arrest them. If they resist..." Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said decisively: "If you resist, kill them on the spot!"

Hong Xu happily bowed his order and then went down to prepare.

In the evening, Hong Xu and his men were ambushed outside Huang Wu's house. After receiving a detailed notice, the people all went in. Hong Xu then ordered to break through the gate of Huang Wu's house and rush in.

In the courtyard, Hong Xu happened to hear Huang Wu want to present Luermen water love to the other side. Hong Xu was overjoyed. This was not fake, so I would catch your braid.

When Huang Wu and others saw Hong Xu coming in, they knew they would be unlucky tonight and did not give any explanation, because it would be useless to explain it if they were like this. It would be better to rush to escape. It would be better to not escape than to close their eyes and wait for death.

When Hong Xu saw several people in the room rushing out with their knives, he sneered: "All the soldiers obey the orders, the prince has the orders, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

With Zheng Chenggong's order, the soldiers in the yard drew out their swords and fought with several generals.

Wan Yi, Wan Lu, Yan Wangzhong and the other two have good kung fu, but after all, there are few people. After killing more than a dozen soldiers, they were killed by others. When Liu Jun saw that he had to bow his head and was captured.

Hong Xu looked at these corpses, but the mastermind Huang Wu was missing. Hong Xu was very anxious. It was dark now, and it would be a life if Huang Wu ran away. Hong Xu quickly sent someone to report to Zheng Chenggong and ordered the soldiers guarding the city to close the city gate and search for Huang Wu's whereabouts, but no news of Huang Wu was found by dawn.

Hong Xu had no choice but to report the truth to Zheng Chenggong. After Zheng Chenggong heard the news, he sighed. It seems that it is not a good idea to be united. Since this is the case, don’t blame me for being cruel.
