"What, Zheng Yiguan sent someone?"

"It's so weird..."

Wang Mengxiong was sitting in his general's mansion in Jinjiang City, Quanzhou Prefecture, and he was still very surprised when he heard the words of his own soldiers.

Come to think of it, Zheng Zhilong, a sea coward, has been appeased by the imperial court for almost two years, and what he did in Zhangzhou seems to be following the rules, but in fact, Wang Mengxiong also knows that the Zheng family has been developing in secret.

Although Zheng Zhilong returned to the imperial court, the Zheng family's fleet still only listened to him alone.

As a general, he could not transfer Zheng Zhilong's Zhangzhou garrison, nor could he move Zheng Zhibao's small Tongshan thousands of households, let alone control the soldiers of the Zheng family's fleet.

In his opinion, the Zheng family's fleet is actually doing those things like Haikou.

It's just that the Battle of Penghu helped the Fujian Navy Division, so that he was able to wear the skin of the official army and do his own convenience.

Of course, with the help of the Zheng family's fleet, the Fujian Navy Division defeated the invading Dutch East India Company fleet in Penghu and obtained their ships and artillery.

But then again, after Zheng Zhilong broke away from Li Dan, he was originally going to be chased and killed by many pirates led by Li Dan, but he turned into a Zhangzhou garrison of the Ming Dynasty.

The Zheng family's originally critical situation was turned over at once with the help of the imperial court.

Even though the Haikou have married the Zheng family because of Li Dan, the Zheng family has now been appeased by the imperial court, and it is not so easy to start.

Now the situation is no longer that the pirates are chasing and killing Zheng Zhilong, it is Zheng Zhilong who took advantage of this position as a coastal defense and began to gradually encroach on the previous pirates and maritime merchants, that is, the southeast coastal armed group headed by Li Dan.

Wang Mengxiong can see these things clearly, this Zheng Zhilong will definitely not be an official of the imperial court with peace of mind, his ambition is much greater than this.

Now Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to send someone, it must be for something big.

Recently, there is only one major event in Fujian, that is, the new salt law of the imperial court has been implemented here from Shandong, and Zheng Zhilong is responsible for this in all likelihood.

However, in his heart, Wang Mengxiong still wanted Zheng Zhilong to learn from Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang, and oppose the imperial court locally.

In this way, he will be able to get rid of this scourge sooner.

"Let him in."

After that, a person who had been waiting outside the lobby of the garrison mansion walked in, but to Wang Mengxiong's surprise, this person came empty-handed.

The visitor smiled slightly, saluted:

"Zheng Zhihu, the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong, the garrison of Zhangzhou, has seen General Wang!"

Wang Mengxiong laughed, motioned for him to sit on one side, and asked:

"The Zhangzhou garrison has had a lot of things recently, why do you have time to call you to Quanzhou, is there something wrong with the new salt law in Zhangzhou?"

Zheng Zhihu also laughed and said:

"The general has been overwhelmed, the new salt law has been implemented smoothly in Zhangzhou, and my Zheng family... My brother Zheng Zhilong, who was stationed in Zhangzhou, has always respected the new salt law. ”

"But the general also guessed correctly, this time I came to see the general, it was indeed for the new salt law."

Wang Mengxiong's heart moved, waited quietly for the following, raised his hand and drank a sip of water, and said quietly:

"Oh? What does the Zhangzhou garrison mean..."

Zheng Zhihu sold a pass, and only got up after a while and said with a smile:

"My brother has already seen the content of the new salt law of the imperial court, praised His Majesty Shengming, and sent me here to give the general a great credit."

Hearing this, Wang Mengxiong was stunned, and then sneered: "Great credit, Zhangzhou has implemented the new salt law, what is the matter with me, the general of the South Road?" ”

"Unless there is a civil uprising like Shandong, I will have my credit."

Zheng Zhihu shook his head, approached and said:

"Zhangzhou is also the jurisdiction of the generals, if the new salt law is implemented more smoothly than other places, how can it not be without the credit of you, the general of the South Road?"

"Think about it, isn't that the truth?"

Wang Mengxiong raised his head and looked at him.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

When Zheng Zhihu saw his suspicious look, he immediately looked worried, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Wronged, great wrong!" ”

"My brother sent me here just to show that the Zheng family is willing to obey the imperial court and hand over all the salt industry halls, wouldn't it be better if there is no contradiction."

When Wang Mengxiong heard this, he finally understood what Zheng Zhilong meant this time, but he didn't refuse, thought about it, but raised his hand to signal.

"You go on, Ben listens."

Zheng Zhihu leaned in again and said in a low voice:

"Actually, my brother sent me this time to make friends with the generals, since the Zheng family said that he was recruited by the imperial court and has become a minister, he naturally wants to respect the imperial decree."

"Pay it early and pay it late, you have to pay it back, and whoever you hand it back is not all handed over."

"Instead of waiting for General Yu or Lord Futai to come down and collect it, why don't you send troops to Zhangzhou and collect all the salt industry of our Zheng family......

Hearing this, Wang Mengxiong was actually furious and took the case.

"Presumptuous—"

"You dare to say such things in front of the general and sow discord?"

Zheng Zhihu was obviously taken aback, and hung his head and cried:

"The general misunderstood me! Today's remarks are really also under the guise of multiple friends and multiple ways, and now the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the general is not unaware. ”

"Even Mr. Yu once received 20,000 gold from my brother..."

Hearing this, Wang Mengxiong was shocked, and he subconsciously said:

"Wait a while, Yu Zisoap received your silver? I also received 20,000 gold, 20,000 gold! It's enough for him for two lifetimes!! ”

Good guy, Yu Zisoap not only didn't get a little bit of the money after receiving it, but he didn't even know about it until now, and he lost the Penghu naval battle, and Lao Tzu still drove the warship to rush up and fight the Dutch to the death!

If it weren't for today, he would have really been able to hide it!

Twenty thousand gold!

Zheng Zhihu looked at Wang Mengxiong sitting here, his eyes were shaking, his expression was cloudy, and he sneered in his heart, it seems that no matter what, today's goal has been achieved.

Yu Zisoap also did a really good job, after the Battle of Penghu, he received 20,000 gold from our Zheng family, but he didn't score it at all.

What's even more excessive is that even this Quanzhou general has no idea.

"Since the general is unwilling, then he will retire first."

Wang Mengxiong looked at Zheng Zhihu, who was gradually leaving, and gritted his teeth, he was unkind, and he blamed me for being unjust, it seems that I have to go this way by myself.

The 20,000 gold Yu Zi soap is actually untouchable, if the credit for the implementation of the salt law is reported to him, I am afraid that I will not be able to share it at all.

Thinking of this, Wang Mengxiong gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to say:

"Wait!"

"If you go back and tell the Zhangzhou garrison, just say what he said in the official document, and I will have considered it."

Zheng Zhihu's face was overjoyed, and he turned around and said:

"My brother is right, the general is really a smart man."

After Zheng Zhihu left, the more Yu Zisoap thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed his fist on the table.

Yu Zisoap, you are too greedy!

At that time, you told me not to chase the escaped Dutch Galen battleship, it turned out that I had already planned to give this battleship to the Zheng family!

Well, it's a handle.

When the time comes, you can not only protect yourself, but also fight back, Yu Zisoap, Yu Zisoap, if you fold in my Wang Mengxiong's hands because of this, it will really be a shame on your father Yu Dayou's face.
