Zhu Cihong was originally in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, but the news that the thieves united with the army was going to attack Jinling spread more and more day by day, and finally he led Sun Yingyuan back to Nanjing.

After all, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for loss.

In contact with Zhang Mingwei, knowing that when Zhang Mingwei's army arrived on the other side, Zhu Cihong, who had not seen him for half a year, actually ran out of Nanjing and came directly to the other side to find Zhang Mingwei.

Because Zhang Mingwei told him that the situation was tense, he would not go to Nanjing.

This situation made many people feel very surprised, especially the people around Zhu Cihong.

You know, this is the crown prince, and he will be the Ming Emperor in the future.

No matter how powerful the Duke of Xingguo is now, he is just a courtier. He didn't go to Nanjing to see Zhu Cihong, saying that the situation was tense, but in fact it was reasonable.

However, as soon as Zhu Cihong, as the crown prince, heard the news, he took the initiative to run over to talk about Zhu Cihong, which was very unreasonable.

It's not that Zhu Cihong is afraid of this Xingguo Gong, they can see this.

has been by the prince's side for a long time, and every time he hears the prince mention Xingguo Gong, his eyebrows are fluttering, and he looks admiring, definitely not afraid of Xingguo Gong. It's more like Zhu Cihong admiring Xingguo Gong, a bit similar to the feeling of ordinary people chasing celebrities.

Sure enough, when they followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the other side of the Yangtze River to meet the Duke of Xingguo, who rushed to the riverside to greet him, they saw Zhu Cihong almost trotting over excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Sir, we have really not seen each other for a long time!" ”

"Hehe, I haven't seen you for half a year, right?" Zhang Mingwei listened, said with a smile, and saw Zhu Cihong's happy face, so he changed his tone and said, "Speaking of which, it's really been a long time!" ”

Zhu Cihong, who was happy, saw Zhu Yujiao beside Zhang Mingwei, so he greeted him with a smile: "Imperial sister, you have been staying by Mr. 's side, but you are happy and interesting?" ”

"Of course!" When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she immediately raised her head and said proudly.

When the people on both sides saw this situation, they were dumbfounded, but when they came back to their senses, they hurriedly saluted.

On the one hand, he was busy saying, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

On the other side, he said, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess, I've seen the Duke of the Kingdom!" ”

After the ceremony, Zhu Cihong originally wanted to pull Zhang Mingwei, and he couldn't wait for Zhang Mingwei to talk about so many interesting things that happened in the north. However, he found that Zhang Mingwei turned his gaze behind him.

He knew that state affairs were important, so he restrained his temperament and went to chat with his sister-in-law. After all, Zhu Yujiao also knows these things.

When the two of them walked towards the camp, Zhang Mingwei nodded to his acquaintance Li Ruolian, and then looked at Sun Yingyuan, the military general who already knew when he introduced himself just now.

If the original historical development is followed, this famous general in the late Ming Dynasty has already died in battle. But now it's because of his own crossing that this result has changed. Zhang Mingwei was still very satisfied with this, so he said to him: "The matter of guarding the prince is very important, you have worked hard!" ”

For such a Ming general, he still admires it very much.

Sun Yingyuan didn't expect Xingguo Gong to be so polite, which greatly exceeded his expectations, and hurriedly said that it was his duty.

In fact, in his heart, he still wants to fight thieves and make military achievements. After all, Zhou Yuji, who was not as high as him in the Yongwei Camp before, is now a loyal uncle and surpasses him.

But looking back, becoming the prince's henchman is also something that is conducive to the future, which makes him feel a little better. However, as a military general, especially a famous general, just being a guard, is a little lost after all.

After greeting him, Zhou Yuji also happily stepped forward to answer Sun Yingyuan, and then followed behind the prince and princess.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei finally turned his head to look at a young man with excitement and said to him: "Zheng Fusong, right, I've heard of you!" ”

Zheng Fusong, if according to the original historical development, will go to Nanjing next year to study under Qian Qianyi, and Qian Qianyi will be renamed Zheng Sen; Later, he supported Emperor Longwu and was given the name Zhu Chenggong by Emperor Longwu, which is also the origin of his final name Zheng Chenggong.

But now he is only eighteen years old, he is a talent, when he was studying in Fujian, because of Zhang Mingwei's suggestion, he was named by the prince Zhu Cihong to go over, and he has been working by the prince's side.

In this way, of course, he also knows the deeds of Xingguo Gong.

At this time, when he heard Xingguo Gong speak to him, he immediately felt honored and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Mingwei's main purpose in staying was to talk to him, so he motioned for Zheng Fusong to go with him.

"If it's not peaceful today, I'm sure you can see it." Zhang Mingwei said, turned his head to look at him half a step behind, and respectfully Zheng Fusong said: "Have you ever thought about throwing your pen from Rong and opening peace for the world?" ”

Zheng Fusong is a showman, and it is obvious that he wants to take the civil official route.

However, in the original history, in the end, he still embarked on the route of leading troops to fight. It's just a pity, the talent is average, otherwise, if the battle to recover Nanjing was successful, the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be rewritten.

When he heard it at this time, he was suddenly a little surprised, and when he came back to his senses, he naturally straightened his chest and said: "The student naturally wishes for peace in the world, and I wish to put pen to paper, but it is just ...... Just ......"

Young people, it's really a time of enthusiasm, and the allusion of Ban Chao's pen from Rong back then is naturally very inspiring to readers. Therefore, Zheng Fusong was of course willing, but when it came to the future, he hesitated and became stammered.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he stopped, turned to look at him, showed encouragement in his eyes, and said to him: "It's just something, although it is!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Fusong didn't hesitate any longer, and replied to Zhang Mingwei: "It's just a battle to fight, as a soldier of the official army, I'm afraid that my family will not agree!" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened and nodded, in terms of his life experience, this is also easy to understand.

Therefore, he looked at Zheng Fusong and said, "The person I recommended ended up in an important position, I guess you have also heard of it, right?" Your talent is to fight in the division of waters. Seriously, now in my Ming Army, there are still too few talented people who can lead the sailors to fight, and you are one of the sailor talents I value! ”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fusong was quite surprised.

In fact, as far as he thinks about himself, although his father is Zheng Zhilong, who was mixed up at sea, he doesn't know how to fight as a sailor. At this time, he was still just concentrating on studying and taking the path of a civil official.

He didn't expect that Xingguo Gong would say such a thing. He could hear that he was going to put pen to paper, and the Xingguo Guild recommended him to lead the Daming Water Master. And from the words, the starting point will also be very high.

Of course, this made him very happy, but he also had doubts, and immediately replied to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong Liao praised." Although it is the student's wish to write from Rong, if it is a sailor, how can he settle the world? Thieves are in trouble, but there is no sailor! ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Fusong immediately remembered the recent rumors, and hurriedly said: "Although the thieves do have boats, their main force is still on foot, just that little boat, and it may not be able to become a climate!" ”

The implication is that the sailor can't use it at all, it's useless!

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei shook his head with a smile and said to him categorically: "You are wrong, the importance of the Daming Water Master is far more important than you think. ”

Speaking of this, seeing Zheng Fusong's surprised look, he explained: "If the imperial court wants to rebuild Dongjiang Town, the sailor is the top priority. In the future, to pacify Liaodong, the sailor is indispensable. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingwei's expression became serious, and he looked at him and said: "Some time ago, news came from Liaodong that Jianyu gathered an army and tried to detour through the Mongolian steppe to invade the pass. Although the imperial court has strengthened the defense line of the Great Wall, it is too passive to have no Dongjiang Town. Therefore, the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town is the top priority of the imperial court at present. ”

Seeing Zheng Fusong's thoughtful expression, Zhang Mingwei said to him again: "This time, the imperial court has sent the water division under the jurisdiction of Shanhaiguan to transport the cavalry army to the hinterland of Liaodong, hoping to contain the Jianyu army and have to return to Liaodong. But even if it is successful, it will definitely be prepared for the next time, and it will not be so easy. The reconstruction of Dongjiang Town is still an urgent matter. Among them, the importance of the sailor is self-evident! ”

"This is in the near future. As for the prospect ......" Zhang Mingwei said this, and asked him again: "Have you heard that the imperial court wants to divide all the vassal kings overseas to become vassals?" ”

King Zhou, as a typical example, has already begun to publicize. Zheng Fusong is still by the prince's side, of course, he knows this matter better. Therefore, he quickly nodded in response.

"Think about it, if there are so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, if they are all outside the domain, will the sailor become very important?" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile, "I can tell you that in the future, at the end of the sea, there will be a great Ming sailor." You say, will the Daming Water Master be very important? ”

"Wherever there is an end of the sea, there will be a figure of a great sailor?" Hearing this, Zheng Fusong couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and subconsciously repeated this sentence.

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded solemnly, and affirmed: "Of course!" ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he was obviously excited. It's a little hard for him to imagine that there will be such a big change in the future?

After Zhang Mingwei said these words, he felt that it was almost over, so he said to Zheng Fusong seriously: "I have the intention to recommend you to the emperor as the deputy general of the Denglai Water Division, the general leader of the Denglai Water Division, how about it?" ”

As long as the Duke of Xingguo recommends it to the emperor, there is nothing that cannot be impossible. This matter, as Zheng Fusong, who is a person close to the prince, of course knows it.

Although it seems a bit shocking for a Xiucai to become the deputy general of the Navy Division at once, isn't there also a Jiangyin classic history who has now become the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan?

Zheng Fusong thought about this, and he suddenly remembered that his father was still only a guerrilla in Fujian coastal defense, didn't this mean that he was higher than his father's military rank?
