Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 261 I will give you a chance to be Yue Fei

Zheng Sen and his men saw the hot air balloon for the first time, and the shock can be imagined.Seeing the dozen or so hot air balloons coming from the sky, skimming over the ocean, and skimming over the fleet, people raised their heads and let out exclamations of admiration.

"Young master, do you see that Chongzhen is in the air, too arrogant! Give the order, let the archers and musketeers attack and shoot Chongzhen to death!" Chen Ze said.

Zheng Sen smiled wryly and said, "Evaluate it yourself, can bows, arrows and muskets hit Chongzhen?"

Chen Ze thought carefully for a while, and cursed: "Those ghost things float too high, far beyond the range of bows and arrows and muskets. There is really nothing to do with them. Damn, Chongzhen is too hateful!"

The hot air balloon was flying fast, and Chongzhen's hearty laughter could be faintly heard from mid-air.The soldiers of the Zheng army could only stare blankly, there was nothing they could do.

People watched the hot air balloon float over the port and over the city of Proventia, making a big circle.Chongzhen inspected the city of Proventia just like inspecting the cities of the Ming Dynasty, and then returned.

The formation of hot air balloons was still floating in the air in an orderly and calm manner. Zheng Sen could feel Chongzhen's sarcastic gaze directed at him, like a gleam on his back.

Zheng Sen's face was hot, and he was ashamed. He thought to himself that Chongzhen had broken through the blockade he had set up without firing a single soldier or firing a single shot!

"Look, a Kongming lantern has landed!" The soldiers suddenly became agitated and shouted loudly.

Standing in the "Kongming Lantern" that landed, Qu Shiqi was getting lower and lower. He bent down and shouted: "Brother Sen, I have something to tell you, please let me aboard!"

"Let him fall down." Zheng Sen ordered.

A quarter of an hour later, the hot air balloon that Qu Shiqi was riding landed on the deck steadily and impartially, which once again aroused the amazement of the soldiers of Zheng Jun.Many people ran over to watch, their mouths full of amazement.

Zheng Sen stood reservedly in the distance, still raising his head, watching Chongzhen return to the fleet.

Qu Shixu squeezed out from the crowd, stood in front of Zheng Sen, and said with a smile, "How, did His Majesty break through your blockade?"

"What the hell is that?" Zheng Sen asked angrily.

"Hot air balloons! His Majesty the Emperor said that this is the secret weapon of the Ming Dynasty. When they attacked Haojingao and Zeelandia, even though the battles were fierce, they did not send hot air balloons to the battlefield. They were worried that Westerners would follow suit. But today The emperor can only use his trump card, is it enough to give you face?"

Zheng Sen curled his lips and said, "I don't need Chongzhen to give me face..."

"Brother Sen, why are you so stubborn, do you want to break your promise again and again?" Qu Shixu raised his voice, obviously angry in his heart.

He took out a letter from his arms and held it in his hand: "This is a letter written by His Majesty the Emperor to you. Read it yourself. Brother Sen, no matter how stubborn you are, I won't bother to care about you anymore!"

Zheng Sen took the letter, opened it and looked down.

"Zheng Sen, have you made enough trouble? There is a limit to my patience, and I will give you one last chance, otherwise swords and soldiers will meet! You are arrogant and think you are very capable, but when will you not fall into my hands? "

"Scholars stop the exam. Our soldiers thwarted your plot without bloodshed. Because we love talents, we let you go. Then we marched south and beat your Zheng family's fleet to flee in embarrassment. The Zhoushan Islands, Xiamen City, Jinmen Island , Penghu Islands, which of these Zheng family's lairs has not fallen into my hands?"

"You made a bet with me, and I promised you that I would capture Zeelandia in eight days. What else do you want?"

"To tell you the truth, you and Shi Lang turned against each other. That was my plan; the strange diseases on the Penghu Islands were poisoned by my people; and the Gaoshan people who united with the small tribes to riot in the south were secretly contacted by my Jin Yiwei. This is One thing after another, aren’t they enough to convince you?”

"You have also seen that whether it is land, sea, or sky, I can come and go freely, and I am the only one who is supreme!"

"Zheng Sen, you once asked someone to bring me a line of Yue Fei's poem. When you were a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, you lived up to your youth and knew how to do it. You want to be Yue Fei of the Ming Dynasty, and I will give you a chance!"

"If you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait? What a good man, your father fell into the hands of the Tartars, and instead of thinking about revenge, he entangled me endlessly. How can you compare with Yue Fei? How can you be worthy of Liu Rushi's painstaking efforts? Are you a person who is disloyal and disfilial and abandons the country and family?"

After Zheng Sen read the letter, he couldn't help sweating profusely. He finally figured out many things. It turned out that he had been in Chongzhen's calculations all along.

Such a far-reaching calculation, such a magnificent resourcefulness, Zheng Sen felt ashamed!

Qu Shixu observed Zheng Sen's determination, and took the opportunity to say: "Brother Sen, we incited the scholars to stop the examination in Nanjing City. After the failure, His Majesty the Emperor did not blame us for the past, and he has the grace not to kill us. Don't you Is Zheng Sen an ungrateful person who never repays his kindness?"

"Stop it, stop it..." Zheng Sen shook his head hastily, his chest heaved and fluctuated with emotion.

"No, I also want to say that those of your subordinates staying on the Penghu Islands have been poisoned, and only His Majesty the Emperor can save their lives. Do you ignore them? Don't you even want your fourth uncle? Brother Sen , if you lose fourth master, you will have no relatives!"

Qu Shishu's last words were like a thunderbolt that shocked Zheng Sen.

That's right, the Zheng family's family has been ruined and their relatives have lost their lives one after another. He kept saying that he wanted to keep the Zheng family's foundation, but how could he keep a cent of it?
Zheng Sen turned to look at the soldiers and saw their earnest eyes. He knew in his heart that the soldiers were thinking of surrendering.

"Soldiers, on behalf of the Zheng family, I, Zheng Sen, thank you for your support and assistance over the years, thank you!" Zheng Sen bent down and bowed deeply.

"Young master!" Under the leadership of Chen Ze, the soldiers full of ships knelt down and wept bitterly.

Straightening up, Zheng Sen said: "The end of the sky, the corner of the sea, we have reached the end. When a person reaches the end, he can only turn around and go home. There is no other way. Soldiers, let's go home! The time has come!"

"I declare that from now on, the Zheng family's fleet will submit to the Ming Dynasty and drive out the Tartars!"

The soldiers cheered first, and then shouted loudly: "Submit to the Ming Dynasty and drive out the Tartars; submit to the Ming Dynasty and drive out the Tartars..."

"Okay, okay!" Qu Shixu's eyes were moist, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Sen, I'm going to report the good news to the emperor right now."

"No, I'll go with you!" Zheng Sen stopped Qu Shixu and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."

Not long after, Zheng Sen took off his armor and weapon, ordered someone to tie a rope to himself, and said: "Soldiers, in order to express my sincerity, I will go to the Holy Spirit alone. You stay where you are, and no one is allowed to act without authorization. Otherwise, I will be killed immediately!"

"Brother Sen, you haven't been in a hot air balloon yet, have you? Come on, I'll take you up into the sky, into the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and back to your homeland!" Qu Shixu grabbed Zheng Sen's arm and smiled heartily.
