The warships gathered, everyone watched, and the port of Wenzhou was noisy.

Zheng Yiguan and Wang Mengxiong, the Fujian coastal defense guerrilla general of the imperial court, made a courtesy that was neither humble nor arrogant, and walked off the boat along the pedal, saying:

"General Wang, where is Yu Zhentai?"

Zhentai is the honorific title of the general commander in the coastal area.

Wang Mengxiong also knew that he was asking knowingly, his expression did not move, and he first smiled at Zheng Yiguan, Zheng Hongkui and others, and then said:

"Hongmaofan's offensive is too tight, and he can't get out."

"Offensive?" Zheng Yiguan glanced at him, smiled, didn't say anything, looked around, and said quite sarcastically:

"The imperial court has done enough work for today!"

"Zhao'an Zheng family, how dare Lord Futai slack off on this kind of thing, come here, serve tea!" After Wang Mengxiong finished speaking, he waved his hand, and then a maid with tea came over.

Zheng Yiguan looked at the location, it was on the edge of the port, and the onlookers could reach it, so he also knew the intention of Nan Juyi's arrangement.

He sat down on the chair he had prepared, took the tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and said, "Good tea, quench your thirst." ”

At this moment when he was waiting for the decree to be announced, Zheng Yiguan seemed to be a little absent-minded, and his eyes never stayed on the people in the court in front of him, and he was always lingering around.

Wang Mengxiong was different, he was almost staring at the leader of the "Haikou" in front of him, wanting to see him through, and asked for a moment:

"I don't know what method Brother Zheng wants to use to break the enemy after being recruited?"

"It's man-made."

After Zheng Yiguan finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Wang Mengxiong, then lowered his head, smiled faintly, and asked rhetorically:

"General Wang, you said that in the Liaodi war, why can the Jurchen barbarians, who were originally alone, repeatedly break through the important towns and cities that I have heavily garrisoned?"

"What do you mean?"

Wang Mengxiong narrowed his eyes and pulled his face down, he felt that Zheng Yiguan had something in his words, and he was insulting the imperial court's combat ability was not as good as the barbarians in Jianzhou.

"Just ask."

Zheng Yiguan has been rampant on the sea with Li Dan since he was a child, and the murderous and unblinking Haikou himself has also been cut, so he is not frightened, and after speaking, he gently put the tea back on the maid's end plate.

"You have traitors who take refuge in them, use tricks for them, pretend to be border soldiers, and confuse the real with falsehood!" Wang Mengxiong almost gritted his teeth and said it, and then sneered:

"Could it be the little brother's strategy, which is to pretend to be a red-haired fan?"

"It doesn't look the same, the language is not clear, don't lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot!"

"Dare to ask if Han people look the same as Jurchen barbarians, and how many Jurchen barbarians can speak Chinese?" Zheng Yiguan didn't care, and seemed to have a plan in mind.

"Our emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a great appetite, not only to repel the Dutch and recover Penghu, but also to capture a warship!"

"If you want to do this, you have to use tricks and find some traitors."

At this time, Zheng Hongkui suddenly rolled up his sleeves, rolled his arms, and shouted:

"Then let's just strike while the iron is hot, concentrate the fleet, pretend to be Hongmaofan, and attack Penghu tomorrow to recover the lost territory!"

"Tomorrow?" Wang Mengxiong frowned again and again, and said: "If you can win by quantity, the sailors of the imperial court are enough to defeat the Hongmaofan, what is the use of asking your Zheng family to come?" ”

While speaking, not far away, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers were ringing, and a team was waving a red and glamorous banner, but it was the eunuch who had arrived belatedly in Beijing.

Wang Mengxiong hurriedly cheered up his spirits, stepped forward, and said with a smile:

"Fujian coastal defense guerrilla Wang Mengxiong, I have seen my father-in-law."

The father-in-law who came was also surnamed Wang, the so-called family hundreds of years ago, and he was also very kind to the military general he saw for the first time in front of him, his hands were in the sleeves of his wide robe, he bowed slightly, and said:

"General Wang has worked hard for the imperial court to defend Haibo for generations."

Wang Mengxiong was not arrogant, but as he spoke, he glanced slightly, paying attention to the movements of the Zheng family and the others behind him.

"These are all as they should be, if you eat the country, you should contribute to the country, otherwise, what is the difference between it and those pirates who raid caravans on the coast for a living?"

"This is Zheng Yiguan, right? What a young man! Wang Chengen stepped forward accompanied by several horsemen, squinted his eyes, couldn't see his expression, and said with a smile.

Zheng Yiguan saw these brocade guards in gorgeous clothes beside him, and they all looked like no one in their eyes, and he was angry.

But when he thought of the purpose of coming here today, he also held his breath and smiled:

"It was in the lower part that I saw my father-in-law."

"Before our family left Beijing, His Majesty did not give any instructions."

"Oh——?" Zheng Yiguan was very enthusiastic about the emperor's words, and asked with a smile: "What did Your Majesty say about me?" ”

"Your Majesty said that the Zheng family can return to the imperial court, repel the red fan and exterminate the group of gangsters for the imperial court, which is the blessing of the coastal people and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."

"Our family is so envious of you!" Wang Chengen was still smiling, but the smile on Zheng Yiguan's face stopped abruptly.

The words of this dead eunuch seem to be the emperor's deep kindness to him, but they are hidden knives in his words, and some words can be passed out, and they can kill!

Exterminate the Qunkou, when did I, Zheng Yiguan, say that I would exterminate the Haikou for the imperial court?

If this word spreads to other pirates, won't the Zheng family be completely tied to the imperial court, and it will be difficult to break free from the shackles anymore.

Zheng Yiguan said calmly:

"What's there to envy?"

Wang Chengen glanced at him in surprise, his hand was still in the sleeves of his wide robe, and said:

"Isn't that envious? Although our family has not been in the palace for a long time, according to our family's understanding of His Majesty, this is to add you to the rank of knight in the future! ”

"Joining the ranks?" Zheng Hongkui was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zheng Yiguan urgently: "The imperial court is going to give you the title of marquis!" ”

Becoming an official and becoming a knight, this is the dream of many men.

It was Zheng Yiguan, when he first heard it, he was also in a trance for a moment, but after thinking about it, at this time, this young emperor who controls the world can really trust himself so much because he was recruited?

He pondered for a moment, then regained his strength, and hugged his fists and said:

"Thank you for your trust!"

Wang Chengen was obviously shocked by the extremely calm mind of the young man in front of him, but he quickly returned to normal, standing there without moving, and said with a smile:

"In that case, Zheng Yiguan, take the order?"

Hearing this, Zheng Yiguan hurriedly led Zheng Hongkui and the Zheng family behind him, knelt on the ground, waiting for the decree to be announced, and the rest of the maritime merchants and people who watched the show also knelt down in a hurry.

Soon, the whole audience fell silent, and only the brightly colored military flags of the warships anchored in the harbor could be heard hunting in the air.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

Since the incident in Penghu, the materials of our county's national feather forest have not dared to fight, all because of the first battle between civil and military forces and Hongfan, resulting in the false closure of the territory.

Every time I think about the attack, the national prestige has not been revealed, the people have been taken captive, and I am heartbroken!

In the prestige of the Zheng family has been heard in Haijiang for a long time, thinking about the country as a net worth, abandoning the Li family's courtiers, the lord was appeased, and I was very relieved.

Hongmao stole Penghu, locked my sea frontier in Zhangzhou, every day passes, the disaster is very heavy, the coastal people are deeply humiliated, the national constitution does not exist, how can I bear it?

Zheng Yiguan is hereby awarded the garrison officer of Zhangzhou, and the military level guards thousands of households. Zheng Hongkui was awarded the garrison officer of Tongshan and led 100 households.

Wan Wang will continue to serve the country, if I can repel the invading enemy and raise the prestige of my Ming country, I will not hesitate to reward, promote and give knights, no problem.

Oh yes! Therefore. ”

It was the first time in his life that Zheng Yiguan accepted the emperor's will under such a grand circumstance and was recruited, which means that from now on, he is no longer a Haikou spurned by everyone.

The Zheng family was accepted by this empire.

No matter what his thoughts were before, at least at this [nameless fo] moment, Zheng Yiguan's mind was full of the Emperor of the Apocalypse who he had never met in the Forbidden City.

He hastened to take the decree into his hand, respectfully dragged it, and shouted:

"Minister Zheng Yiguan, take the order!"
