Zheng Cai suddenly became depressed.

From the moment he was rescued on the boat by Wu Song's sailors, he looked depressed.

It's no wonder that as the flagship, as the main general, he fell into the water, and no boat turned back to save him.

This fact cannot be accepted by anyone.

This is a very dangerous signal, that is, he has been abandoned by the sailors.

It is not only Zheng Zhiguan's people who abandoned him, but also his confidants.

Wu Zheng ignored Zheng Cai's blank expression.

In Wu Zheng's view, Zheng Cai is just a living dead.

Because Zheng Cai killed Zheng Zhiguan, it was tantamount to self-isolation from Zheng Chenggong, this kind of person with a backbone in the back of his head, Wu Zheng was not interested at all.

"Do you want to die or live?" Wu Zheng asked expressionlessly.

Zheng Cai replied calmly: "Ants are still greedy for life, so they naturally want to live. ”

"Is there a way to control the sailors who are fleeing northeast?"

Zheng Cai looked at Wu Zheng in amazement, and said with a wry smile: "If I can still control it, why did I end up in such a field?" ”

Wu Zheng was not disappointed, in fact, he had already guessed it in his heart, but he was unwilling to ask casually.

"Does the King of Yanping have any intention to let the Zheng family sailor enter eastern Zhejiang?"

Zheng Cai shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"!" Wu Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "If you don't have this intention, why did you rob my merchant fleet?" If you are not honest again, don't blame the king for throwing you into the sea! ”

Zheng Cai was also anxious, "King Wu is angry, at this time, I don't dare to coax you...... The king of Yanping does have the intention of countering you, that is because you cut off the channel of the Zheng family's sailors to the north for trade, and now the Zheng family's sailors want to trade with the north, so they can only bypass the Wa Kingdom, and then turn west through Korea to enter the Dagu mouth, so that the profits are at least halved. In this robbery, Zheng Zhiguan did say that he was ordered by the king of Yanping, but the king of Yanping was in Chaoyang, and I am afraid that Zheng Zhiguan wanted to plunder and enrich himself in the name of the prince. ”

Zheng Cai really didn't know, although he and Zheng Chenggong were brothers, but Zheng Chenggong didn't treat it as his own, after all, Zheng Chenggong assassinated Zheng Cai's brother and robbed Xiamen and Zheng Cai's military power, so naturally he would not regard Zheng Cai as his own person.

Therefore, although Zheng Cai was appointed by Zheng Chenggong as Zheng Zhiguan's deputy, he did not have military power at all.

Wu Zheng pondered for a while and said, "Are you willing to persuade the escaped sailor?" If you want, this king can give you a way to live, otherwise you only have one way, and that is to hand you over to the king of Yanping in exchange for our personnel who were captured in Taishan the night before. ”

Zheng Cai smiled bitterly: "Actually, Zheng is willing to join King Wu's command, but King Wu must have known that most of this water division are Zheng Zhiguan's people, and if they can abandon me, they will probably not recognize me as the main general...... King Wu, if I don't want to, I really can't. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." This king has already asked about the situation, at that time, Wu Song Shui Shi had approached a distance of ten miles, if they saved you, they would not be able to escape at all...... When the matter is too urgent, it is natural to think about protecting yourself first, the so-called people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, you go to persuade to surrender, there is still a chance. ”

Wu Zheng's words were like giving Zheng Cai a shot in the arm, and Zheng Cai's spirit suddenly changed.

"King Wu...... Is this true? ”

Wu Zheng was bored in his heart, but he needed to use him, so he had to whirl around: "Naturally, take it seriously." ”

"Then if Zheng succeeds in persuading him to surrender, how is King Wu going to settle this water division...... And what about Zheng? ”

Wu Zheng glanced at Zheng Cai coldly and said, "Let's talk about it if it succeeds." ”

But Zheng Cai didn't follow, "Please also ask King Wu to make it clear...... In this way, Zheng can also use this to convince the sailors. ”

Wu Zheng paused, waved his hand and said, "This king has to think about it...... You go down first and wait. ”

After Zheng Cai was taken down, Zhang Mingzhen, who had been listening to the side, asked in surprise: "Does the prince really want to take in that water division?" But in this way, how can Zheng Chenggong give up? ”

Wu Zheng looked at Zhang Mingzhen and said, "In your eyes, what kind of person am I...... Don't be perfunctory, tell the truth! ”

Zhang Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then replied solemnly: "In the heart of the last general, the prince is a hero!" ”

"Heroes?" Wu Zheng raised his head and smiled, then lowered his head and said with a strange expression, "Have you ever seen a hero whose words don't count?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen was stunned, what does this mean?

He really didn't understand.

Wu Zheng said leisurely: "The gentleman deceives him, and the villain lures him to benefit." This king is not interested in Zheng Cai, nor is he interested in that fleet. What this king is interested in is how to prevent Zhoushan and Wusongshui from being bloodless and resolve today's affairs. ”

Zhang Mingzhen suddenly realized, but he objected: "Lord, Mingzhen has a sentence in his heart, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”

"Speak."

"One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, although the sea is wide, it is difficult to tolerate the coexistence of Zhoushan, Wusong and Zhengjia...... There will be a battle between the prince and the king of Yanping. ”

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Zhang Mingzhen continued: "It is at least thirty percent of the main force of the Zheng family's sailors who have escaped today, even if the prince is not interested in it, he must not give them up and put them back to the south. In this way, it is tantamount to an enemy. ”

Wu Zheng's brows tightened.

"In the eyes of the last general, it is best to recover, in this way, one will rise and the other, let me ask what strength does King Yanping still have, dare to be an enemy of the prince?"

Wu Zheng finally spoke: "Then Wang Yilin, how can he give up?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Killing Zheng Cai can not only calm the resentment in Wang Yilin's heart, but also appease the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers who escaped from the sailors, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If Wang Yilin wants to destroy this water division, how can he be willing to kill a Zheng Cai?" ”

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Lord Wang, what Uncle Wang wants is not to destroy that water master...... Dare to ask the prince, what is the reason why the prince took a big risk and acted without authorization? It is nothing more than the warship of the Zheng family's sailors, if the prince collects this sailor, puts it under the command of Uncle Wang, and then kills Zheng Cai, Uncle Wang will naturally be at ease. Just imagine, can he still burn down the warship that is already his own? Or did he order the killing of these soldiers who were already under his command? ”

Wu Zheng's heart moved, but he didn't speak.

Zhang Mingzhen said: "This not only appeases Uncle Wang, but also avoids the casualties of Zhoushan and Wusong sailors, and can also deter King Yanping, which can be described as a matter of killing three birds with one stone." ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "You go and ask Wang Yilin what he means, and then talk back." ”

"The last will obey."

Watching Zhang Mingzhen get out of the cabin, Wu Zheng sat down.

The words "one eliminates the other" in Zhang Mingzhen's words really moved Wu Zheng.

Indeed, almost all of the escaped sailors were capital ships, accounting for thirty percent of the Zheng family's sailors.

Even if the guns on the ship are obsolete, it's a large warship, isn't it?

Weapons that can kill people are good weapons.

When no one is killed, they think that the weapon that killed them is too rudimentary.
