Chapter 575: The Zheng family has completely cut off the way to retreat
The Zheng family nested in the house, and they didn't dare to go anywhere, and they were worried one by one. Fifty guards died in Huangquan inexplicably, not only did they have no place to reason, but Zheng Haonan and Zheng Haoze had to defend themselves to the court and ask for their guilt. The Marquis of Wucheng and the soldiers under his command made great contributions, and the emperor praised them by decree and rewarded them with 3,000 taels of silver according to their military merits.
The Marquis of Wucheng gave all the reward to the soldiers under his command as wine money, he naturally didn't take this bit of silver seriously, and he took a bad breath and was happy in his heart, which was enough.
This matter is not over yet, Wucheng Hou sent people to keep an eye on Zheng Haonan's mansion, ready to find an opportunity to continue killing one by one.
Of course, the Zheng family also understood their situation, the door was closed, and the deadbolt insurance was also strengthened.
Only then did they understand that the Zhongshan Wangfu was more ruthless than their Zheng family, and the officials and soldiers were darker than their pirates.
The Zhongshan Mansion and the Governor's Mansion did not move for the time being, but it didn't mean that they didn't want to move, they just didn't encounter a chance. After discussion, the Zheng family felt that there were two options: one was to transfer a few hundred more people from the family to escort them back to Fuzhou, which would require waiting, and the other was to contact their network and strive for government escorts along the road, which also took time.
Zheng Long thought about it for two whole days, except for these two ways, they couldn't get out of the Nanjing jurisdiction at all. In other words, as long as they leave the jurisdiction of Nanjing, the danger will be reduced by half, and they will be their own home when they enter the jurisdiction of Fujian. He decided to do both at the same time, to see which one would be implemented first, and that would be the case.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was no Jiangsu Province, and most of the province was under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, including the Fengyang area. Nanjing, on the other hand, was directly governed by the imperial court.
The Ming Dynasty opened the country and set up two capitals, Fengyang and Nanjing were the capitals, and Fengyang was designated as the first capital by Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, and the capital became three. Later, Fengyang was incorporated into Nanjing, and the capital system returned to the two capitals, which is also the system of the two capitals that all dynasties have been pursuing since the Western Han Dynasty.
"Father, let's give up the marriage contract publicly, so that the relationship can be eased, and the risk of my father returning to Fuzhou will be much smaller. After Zheng Haoguang discussed with several brothers, he once again admonished Zheng Longjin.
"No, I just die here, and I can't swallow this breath. Zheng Long roared.
"Father, your safety is greater than God, thousands of people in our family rely on you. Zheng Haoguang bowed, his head almost lowered to the ground.
"I'm a person who has passed the age of the sixtieth birthday, what's the fear of death, even if I die, isn't there still you?" Zheng Long reprimanded.
Suddenly, he realized that if he couldn't go back, it meant that his children and grandchildren couldn't go back either, but he still refused to give in. Came up with another trick.
"In this way, when we go back, we will go in two ways, you and I will each take one way, and someone will always go back alive. ”
"Father, why do you do this? As long as you give up that useless marriage contract, our brother can find someone to talk to Wei Guogong and Old Master Chen, and they are also anxious about Miss Chen's marriage, and they will definitely be able to reach a settlement. Zheng Haoze also bowed down and pleaded.
"I said that if you can't do it, you can't do it, even if the knife is on your neck, you won't admit defeat. It seems that you have been an official and a master for too long, and the blood of our Zheng family is still flowing in your veins?" Zheng Long roared.
Zheng Haoguang and the others saw that their father was so resolute, so they had no choice but to withdraw, and several people looked at each other, all of them were crying and mourning, and the whole house was lifeless.
"Is it worth it to gamble on the lives of your family just to gamble?"
Zheng Haonan felt that this was no longer his familiar father, it turned out that in his mind, although his father did not have much education, he was wise and natural, a fisherman who had nothing, and later just a little pirate, but he was able to develop into the first family of Fuzhou in a few decades, what a great creation, and now he sees a crazy and stupid old man.
"My father seems to have a goal, and in order to achieve this goal, he does not hesitate to stake the whole family. Zheng Haoguang was afraid and dissatisfied.
He didn't say anything about it, and he didn't know the details of it, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Or the eldest brother will sign a contract break letter with Old Master Chen in private, and don't let my father know. Zheng Haomin said secretly.
Zheng Haoguang hesitated: "You want me to die, you can think of such ideas." ”
The brothers of the Zheng family are more afraid of the family law than the national law, and they are more afraid of their father than the power of the sky, and it is indeed too difficult for them to go against Zheng Long's will.
"But what else can we do besides this trick? We can't watch our father and eldest brother risk losing their lives on the road, right?" Zheng Haomin said with a wry smile.
"Listen to your father, life or death is up to fate. Zheng Haoguang still didn't dare to follow his brother's advice.
The Zheng family's guards have not yet arrived, and the official mansions that have been bought by various places have not yet been finalized, but the family has sent bad news, several of their pirate ships at sea have been wiped out by the monarch organization, and five pirate strongholds have been destroyed by the monarch organization, and their property has been looted.
After Zheng Long received the news, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted at that time.
Zheng Haoguang and the others hurriedly poured ginger water and pinched people, and finally woke Zheng Long up.
"Bastard, I haven't done it yet, they are the first, this breath is unbearable, decisive battle, swear to the death with them. Zheng Long's breath was uneven, but he still roared.
"How can they do it? Didn't the other seven families in the alliance hear any rumors?" Zheng Haoguang felt incredulous.
"Those seven families are even bastards plus level ten, they say that this is a war provoked by our family itself, and they will not help. They obviously want to divide up our family business, these bastards, who call me brothers and sisters on weekdays, have become traitors at critical moments, and they actually reached an agreement with that monarch organization. Zheng Longqi's chest rose and fell violently, and he didn't take a breath, and coughed violently.
"They've made a deal with the Monarchy? When Zheng Haoguang heard the news, he couldn't believe it.
The Pirate Alliance was originally formed to fight against the Monarch Order, how could they possibly come to an agreement with the Monarch Order?
"The King's Organization made a condition with them that they would not do anything to the Seven Great Families within five years, and in exchange for the condition, they would not interfere in the War of the King's Organization against us. Zheng Long lay on his back on the couch, panting in one breath, as if he couldn't get up in one breath and was about to lose his breath.
Zheng Haoguang and others are like mourning, this news is more deadly than the threat of the Zhongshan Royal Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, which shows that the king's organization and the seven major families in the alliance have temporarily joined forces, just to uproot the Zheng family.
"My prediction is right, besides, it is the head of the King's Organization, we have hit their vital point, so they are so impatient, and they will make peace with the Seven Great Families at all costs, in order to eradicate us and get rid of the threat to the situation. Zheng Long suddenly understood.
"What should we do now?" Zheng Haoguang asked worriedly.
"What to do, what else to do, pack my things and get ready to hit the road, I have to go back to the clan and start an all-out war with them. Zheng Long's old face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles rose with red tides, which was a sign of a heart attack.
"Father, even with you in charge, we can't resist the alliance between the King Organization and the Seven Great Families. Zheng Haoguang sighed.
"Even if you lose, you have to fight with them to the end. Pack your things, hurry up and get ready to hit the road, don't wait for someone to come to the house. ”
Zheng Haoguang and the others had no choice but to go out to discuss, preparing to mobilize the servants of each family, as well as the manpower of Zheng Haomiao's black shops along the way, to escort Zheng Long back to Fuzhou.
They are not the slightest optimistic about the prospects, even if they take these people back, no matter how they look at it, it will be a dead end. The court can't do anything about their Zheng family, but it doesn't mean that the seven families can't do it, they are deliberately trying to carve up the Zheng family.
When Zheng Long started his business, he did this kind of thing, and he was able to develop to this day by merging many large and small forces, is this retribution coming?
As the saying goes: Blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not singular.
The next day, just as they were about to go on the road regardless of all risks, Zheng Haomiao brought another piece of bad news, all the Zheng family's contact outlets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, as well as many black shops under him, were all picked by the Qinwang organization.
The Zheng family's retreat has been cut off.
When Zheng Long heard the news, he fell straight backwards and fell unconscious.
"Okay, who did this good thing, it's so cool. After Wu Chenghou learned the news, he drank three cups of daughter red in a row.
A month later, Wei Guogong came to Suzhou again to report on the progress of the matter and discuss the next steps. In Chen Musa's study, Wei Guogong said to Chen Musa: "Besides, it is indeed the key protection object of the Qinwang faction, which can be determined, I heard that there is also a mysterious monarch organization, which is also linked overseas, and it is also related to this mysterious organization." ”
"Now it seems that it must be so. Chen Musa said with a smile.
"I'm holding it down here in Nanjing, otherwise, the Qinwang organization will definitely go on a killing spree, and things will be passive. Wei Guogong felt that it was so dangerous.
"Isn't the Marquis of Wucheng going on a killing spree?" asked Chen Musa.
"This is different, the Marquis of Wucheng is very old in grasping the heat, and the reason is completely tenable, and the court has issued an order to praise him. "Wei Guogong thought about Wuchenghou, he thought he was a rough man, and he couldn't accurately grasp the heat if he didn't want to, which was really unseemly.
"The Zheng family is still hiding in Zheng Haonan's mansion?"
"Of course, they also relied on that life-saving talisman to survive. Wei Guogong laughed.
The Zheng family had a miscalculation of Wei Guogong's immobility in the past few days. They believe that Wei Guogong has been elegant all his life, and he is completely different from the Marquis of Wucheng, as long as the Zheng family no longer mentions the marriage contract, the Zhongshan Mansion will not be wiped out. But the truth is not what they think, all the contact outlets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been terminated, indicating that Zhongshan Wangfu is sharpening its knives.
"The pirate background is really different, the Zheng family would rather be wiped out, and they have to gamble on it. Chen Musa said hatefully.
He had calculated that the best way for the Zheng family to retreat was to sign a letter of breach of contract, and then obtain the understanding between him and the Zhongshan Palace, so that the Zhongshan Mansion would guarantee their safe return to Fuzhou.
However, until today, the Zheng family has not done so, which shows that they are ready to go all the way to the dark.
