The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169 Death of the Overlord of the Sea
Chapter 167

Defeated like a mountain,
The morale of the army is broken, not the mountain is falling, but the sky is falling,
It turned out that there were about [-] soldiers, under Lu Changle's persuasion,
It can be seen with the naked eye that nearly half of the
There are still many people who are hesitating on which side to stand.
Only those diehards and clan members of the Zheng clan still stand firmly by Zheng Zhilong's side,

While the scene was in chaos,

In the distance, there are constantly teams rushing towards the sky with killing noises:
"Min county militia arrives"

"Lianjiang Lu's militia has arrived"

"Youxi militia has arrived"

"The Ningdelin militia has arrived"

"Youxi coolie camp has arrived"

With the triumphant return of the rural protection team, those militia groups who came to support made high-profile appearances one after another.
Luo Dagui, a pigeon breeding expert in the intelligence team, has made great contributions. It is he who has cultivated a large number of pigeons.

Let Lu Lechang keep in touch with the militia and arrive in time to cooperate with the general counteroffensive.
Lu Changle grabbed the simple trumpet and shouted loudly: "Brothers who have left the Zheng's pirate group, tear off the right sleeve and you will be yourself."

"Everyone obeys my orders, avenge the dead folks in Fujian, and swear to kill Zheng Zhilong!"

Gan Hui followed up loudly like a bell: "Avenge the dead folks in Fujian, and swear to kill Zheng Zhilong!"

"Avenge the dead folks in Fujian, and swear to kill Zheng Zhilong!"

"Avenge the dead folks in Fujian, and swear to kill Zheng Zhilong!"

The township protection team, the militia group and the minzhuang shouted loudly one after another,
Everyone's killing noise shook the sky, and they went to the direction of the commander-in-chief of the Zheng family's army,

Zheng Zhilong saw that the general situation was over, and under the persuasion of Hong Xu and others, he couldn't care about anything anymore.

fled in embarrassment with his guards,
The number of people is not dominant, Lu Changle has a secret weapon in his hand,

In addition, the general trend is over, if you don't go, you may really have to fold here.

Temporarily retreat, return to Quanzhou to make plans,
If you can abide by the rules, no matter how bad it is, Jilongshan, which has been operating for decades, is still there.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong ran away, Zheng Jiajun, who was already panicked, became even more panicked.
Many people threw down their weapons and turned around and ran, and many people fought among themselves for horses and carriages.
"General Ping Zhai has an order that those who surrender will not be killed, but those who kill Zheng Zhilong will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"General Ping Zhai has an order that those who surrender will not be killed, but those who kill Zheng Zhilong will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"There is an order from General Ping Zhai, those who surrender will not be killed, but those who kill Zheng Zhilong will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man,

In particular, Lu Changle has always been committed to promises, he will do what he says, and he will be rewarded for his achievements.

As soon as they heard about the reward of ten thousand taels of gold, I don't know how many people were red-eyed on the spot.

The killing sound shook the sky to chase after Zheng Zhilong,
Especially those soldiers who were persuaded by Lu Changle to surrender were more active in killing Zheng Zhilong.

Firstly, you can make meritorious deeds, and secondly, you can get rewards of ten thousand taels of gold.

If you are lucky and get 1 taels of gold, you will not be able to spend it all in ten lifetimes.

Zheng Zhilong didn't care too much, and under the escort of his personal guards, he rode a horse and fled desperately towards Min'an Town.

My invincible fleet is in Min'an Town,

As long as you get on the boat, no one can do anything to you.

What excited Zheng Zhilong was that the considerable number of cavalry in the Township Protection Team,
He only cared about chasing and killing his subordinates, but didn't chase himself,

It's just stupid, don't you know that you are the soul of Zheng Jiajun?
As long as I return to Quanzhou, as long as I return to Jilong Mountain,

With the gold and silver wealth accumulated over the years, he will soon be able to make a comeback,

By the way, the dog court actually favored the surnamed Lu, and gave him a general to suppress thieves to disgust himself,'

Clearly don't take yourself seriously,

Coincidentally, Jianlu has always attached great importance to himself, and has won over himself many times.
Now Jianlu is in full swing, as long as the conditions are good, it is not impossible to cooperate with them.

Pushing the horse all the way, in less than half an hour, he finally fled to Min'an Town.
However, as soon as Zheng Zhilong entered Min'an Town, his face became serious,

The smell of gunpowder, the town is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder,
On the sea in the distance, there is also a huge wheel ship lying on the sea, and it seems to be sinking slowly.
Obviously, a naval battle of no small scale took place here,

Lu Changle's newly built navy attacked his own fleet?
Impossible, impossible, Lu Changle drove the newly built navy into Neijiang,
The scouts said that a large number of ships were moored in the lake near Youxi County,

In order to prevent those ships from escaping, not only did he send multiple batches of scouts to guard them,
He also set up three iron cables to lock the river, and Lu Changle's navy could not escape his own eyes and ears.

Could it be that when someone took advantage of him to attack Changle City, the oriole was behind?

Fortunately, the ships on the sea are still flying the big Zheng Ziqi.

Just when Zheng Zhilong was thinking wildly, he had already rode his horse to the wharf of Min'an Town.

Not far from the pier, there is a lucky boat parked.

"Didn't you see that the Chief Soldier has arrived, come here quickly and pick us up on the boat," a personal guard shouted loudly.

I don't know when the cavalry of the rural protection team will come after them, it's better to get on the boat first.

"Send the boat over quickly, the commander-in-chief wants to board the boat," the guards shouted loudly.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, they saw a woman with a pretty face and an exquisite figure leisurely walking to the bow of the boat.
It was Liu Ruolan.

Liu Ruolan took a simple loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Isn't this Mr. Zheng from Fujian? You're being polite, little girl."

Seeing that the killing of her father and enemy was right in front of her eyes, Liu Ruolan suddenly felt a rare peace in her heart at this moment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the sailors of the rural protection team sailed from the sea into the Minjiang River,
Go to the lake near Youxi County to avoid the battle,
After the boat left, Lu Jinyuan and Liu Ruolan sneaked down with two thousand elites.

It was hidden in the secret underground warehouse left by Fan Chengyin on Xiaoyue Island back then.

If Zheng Zhilong's navy sails into the Minjiang River, Lu Jinyuan will lead people to attack with artillery,

From Tom, he bought six of the most advanced Hongyi cannons, 36 French cannons, 180 matchlock guns, 1 six sets of armor, more than [-] catties of gunpowder, and more than [-] shells.
In Changle County, only two Hongyi cannons and some Flang cannons were erected.
The remaining four Hongyi cannons and ten Flang cannons ambushed on both sides of the Minjiang River.
If Zheng Zhilong's fleet enters the Minjiang River, it will be blasted to pieces with artillery,
It's a pity that it didn't work.

The battle situation in Changle County is stalemate again, Lu Jinyuan and Liu Ruolan have been standing still,
Until receiving the news that Lu Changle returned to help,

That night, Lu Jinyuan used the familiar terrain to cut off the contact between the navy and Zheng Zhilong with the cooperation of the intelligence team.
Liu Ruolan and his old team took advantage of the dark night and with the cooperation of Neiying,
Approach with a small boat first, sneak up on the big boat to carry out a surprise attack,
Quickly control those big ships with matchlock guns and grenades,
After paying a heavy price, Zheng Zhilong's navy was finally taken down,
It's not perfect either. During the competition,
Three large ships and twelve small ships were taken away, and as many as 25 ships were penetrated and sunk.

The boats are all made of wood, and those small boats will disappear with a grenade thrown.
Even if I tried to save him, I couldn't.

Zheng Zhilong's heart sank, and he shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why are you on this general's boat?"

Seeing that the person who came out was not one of his own, Zheng Zhilong, who had a bad feeling at first,
My heart almost sank.

"Your boat?" Lu Jinyuan walked from the cabin to the flagpole, swung his knife, and the flagpole snapped off.

The connecting rod and the flag fell into the sea, and he said coolly: "Zheng Zhilong, it's not anymore."

That flagpole is a signal,
Soon, ships of all sizes on the sea tore down the Zheng Ziqi and threw it into the sea.

"You guys, who are you?" Zheng Zhilong roared with red eyes.

Due to the excessive force, his face was a little distorted.

I am the undisputed overlord of this sea area,

These people dared to snatch the fleet that they had built with countless painstaking efforts in front of their faces.
At this moment, Zheng Zhilong's heart was bleeding.

Lu Jinyuan didn't speak, but stepped aside and let Liu Ruolan face him.

Let her end the grievances between Liu and Zheng.

"Father Liu Xiang, the little girl has to call Zheng Zongbing uncle." Liu Ruolan said with a sneer.

Let him control the boats, Zheng Zhilong can't run even if he wants to,

Don't be in a hurry to kill him, just take a good look at his angry and helpless expression.

Zheng Zhilong stared at Liu Ruolan, gritted his teeth and said: "So you are the daughter of Liu. You have killed so many evils over the years, but you, the dead one, have been missed."

These years have been chasing and killing the rest of Liu Xianglao's tribe, killing the Xianghuo Cult,
I didn't expect Liu Xianglao's daughter to appear in front of me when I was most critical.

He also cut off his retreat.

In response to the old saying of the ancestors, cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Liu Ruolan was not angry either, and shouted loudly: "The niece would like to thank Uncle Zheng for being merciful. Don't worry, for the sake of your sworn brotherhood with my father, I will count your family members one by one and send them all to me. You reunite."

"It's almost dead anyway, haha, hahaha"

Speaking of the latter, Liu Ruolan seemed to laugh wildly,
All laughed and cried.

The vengeance of killing my father was finally avenged,

At this moment, Liu Ruolan seemed to want to vent all the grievances she had suffered in these years,
All these years of bearing humiliation, even all the property left by my father was used for revenge,

Finally wait until the moment when the clouds open and the moon shines.

Fortunately, my father left behind a large amount of property, and Liu Ruolan used it to buy off Zheng Zhilong's confidantes,

Not only dodged the hunt again and again, but also succeeded in sneak attacks at critical moments.

Zheng Zhilong roared loudly: "It's a joke, I'm not dead yet, but I was defeated here. There are plenty of opportunities to make a comeback. If you are dead, you just wait. If I catch you, you will definitely not be able to survive or die."

Quanzhou Prefecture and Zhangzhou Prefecture are still in their own hands,

I have money that is incomparable to the country, and Jilongshan, the base camp that has been in business for many years,

As long as he escapes back, a comeback is just around the corner.

"Brothers, let's go back to Quanzhou, everyone will be rewarded." Zheng Zhilong said loudly.

Too much time has been wasted before, so I can't delay any longer.
"You can't even go by sea, let alone by land. Listen, everyone, whoever gets Zheng Zhilong's head can avoid death, and there is a reward of 1 taels of gold. Do you die with him or get the bonus? Think for yourself." Liu Ruolan yelled loudly with a simple loudspeaker.

Zheng Zhilong's way of escaping from the water was cut off. Judging from the terrain, Zheng Zhilong was already a turtle in an urn.

did not lay an ambush in the way,
Nor did he surprise Zheng Zhilong with artillery in the first place,

I want Zheng Zhilong to taste the feeling of being alone, betrayed, and hopeless.

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of many people in the team flickered,

One is a huge reward that is illusory, and I don’t know if I will get it,
One is the real ten thousand taels of gold, the risk is relatively much less,

How to choose, everyone has a scale in mind.

"What are you thinking?" Hong Xu shouted loudly:
"Liu Xiang's remnants are not ours, and if it falls into her hands, will it end well? Think about how the commander-in-chief treats you all the time. We have survived so many storms. This time, it will definitely work."

"Whoever dares to touch a hair of Lord Chief Soldier, first step on Lao Tzu's corpse."

As Hong Xu said, he pointed his knife at the soldiers with unkind eyes.

Zheng Zhilong said with a moved face: "Nian Jin, it's still you who show loyalty, good brother."

"Of course, brother, we have sworn brothers before."

While Hong Xu was speaking, the big knife in his hand slashed at Zheng Zhilong,
With a sound of "dang", the knife that seemed to hit the target was blocked by the simple knife in Zheng Zhilong's hand,

"Hong Xu, you white-eyed wolf, I know you're not at ease." Zheng Zhilong said through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, I kept an eye on it, otherwise the knife just now would have been confessed here.

Hong Xu put away the knife, struck Zheng Zhilong again, and said while beating: "White-eyed wolf is you. Back then, we promised to share blessings and share hardships. Your family got promoted and got rich. All the brothers in the past gave you dogs. If you don't kill you, who will you kill?"

"Brothers, come on, kill Zheng Zhilong, share the ten thousand taels of gold together, and go back to your hometown to be rich."

"Keep the commander in chief, kill the traitor"

Both of them have cronies, and soon the two groups are fighting desperately at the pier,

One side wants to save his life, the other side wants to get a bounty,
Zheng Zhilong was wearing a Mingguang helmet, Hong Xu was wearing chain mail,

Both of them are veterans who crawled out of the dead, they have experienced many battles and are very familiar with each other.
Played a well-matched match,
The rest of the soldiers fought a bit in disorder, for all were wearing the same cloth armor,
It is very confusing to distinguish the camp before fighting.

Liu Ruolan stood on the bow of the boat, watching with a blank expression as the two groups were fighting for their lives,

Let go of your hatred, these people are the murderers who killed your father,

Watching their dogs bite their mouths and hairs, I feel that everything I have done before is worth it.

After a stick of incense, the pier became quiet again,

Zheng Zhilong was the only one standing on the pier littered with dead bodies,

I don't know how many stab wounds he has on his body, and he looks like a bloody man from a distance.
If he hadn't used the knife as a crutch, he would have fallen down a long time ago.

Looking at the familiar faces on the ground, Zheng Zhilong's heart felt as if cut by a knife.
These are brothers who have been with him through life and death many times,

Whether it was an enemy or a friend just now,
It doesn't matter, now they're all down,
At this time Liu Ruolan had already jumped into a small boat and quickly approached the pier.

Zheng Zhilong turned his head and shouted with all his strength: "I, Zheng Yiguan, the overlord of the sea, a person favored by heaven, no one can kill me, no one! Except myself, hahahahaha, in this life No regrets, we will fight again in 18 years."

Having said that, Zheng Zhilong threw the knife in his hand, turned his hand and took out a dagger, and stabbed himself in the heart suddenly,
Soon he collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times and stretched his legs,
The sea overlord of the last generation of Ming Dynasty ended his life in such a embarrassing and tragic way.

Seriously wounded, the horses all ran away,
I can't escape at all. If it falls into the hands of Mr. Liu Xiang's daughter, it will definitely be difficult.

It's better to give yourself a good time, and die more decently.

When Zheng Zhilong died, his eyes were wide open,

It seemed that he hadn't figured it out until his death, how could he lose so badly in the end when he had a good card.

　Thanks to Chengdu Ten Thousand Enemies, for encouraging and helping to catch bugs many times, thank you,
　　Sometimes it is easy to make mistakes when you are too tired and in a hurry.
　　Thank you book friends for your tolerance.
