Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he turned his head to look at his son.

When Zheng Fusong saw it, he smiled again and said: "Dad, I'm twenty years old, I've traveled to the north and south, and I've fought big battles, so I'm not a child anymore!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but snort heavily: "What kind of person are you going to go south and north?" ”

Although this is the case, it is obviously much better than the gloomy face that ignored Zheng Fusong before.

Zheng Fusong saw it, and hurriedly continued: "Dad, you don't know the future national policy of the imperial court. Just the feudal kings of the feudal overseas, they have to rely on the Daming Water Division. So many vassal kings' fields were dedicated to the imperial court, and this must have to be done. The national policy is like this, can our Zheng family stop it? No matter how powerful our Zheng family is, can we be as powerful as the Qufu Kong family? ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at his son again.

He has lived in remote Fujian for a long time, and he really ignored the vigorous things in the Central Plains, and the affairs of the vassal king sacrificing his land to settle the overseas affairs of the domain, although he has heard about it, but he has only heard about it. What had never happened before, he didn't take it to heart.

However, Zheng Fusong is different, he really has to go north, and what he saw and heard along the way, the shock was naturally deeper than Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, the words he deliberately pointed out suddenly made Zheng Zhilong think about this matter again.

In addition, although the Qufu Kong family did not have invincible naval ships, their influence on scholars was incomparable to that of any family and surname. And this world is a world ruled by scholars and emperors. However, even so, the Qufu Kong family said that if it didn't, it would be gone!

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but become serious, and picked up Zheng Hongkui's letter again and read it.

When Zheng Fusong saw it, he didn't bother him anymore, turned his head to look, and found that his mother was watching worriedly at the door, so he grinned and signaled that he was fine.

Zheng Fusong and his mother looked inside, then smiled, nodded and left, obviously no longer worried about the conflict between his father and son.

In the study, neither of them spoke, it was very quiet, and there was the occasional sound of the pages of the letter turning.

Zheng Zhilong quickly read it again, put the letter on the table, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

At first, Zheng Zhilong thought it was Zheng Fusong's mother, so his face was a little unsightly, and when he looked up, he was about to be reprimanded, but saw that it was his fifth brother Zheng Zhibao who hurriedly entered.

Obviously, Zheng Zhibao knew the news of Zheng Fusong's return, so he just nodded at Zheng Fusong, who called his fifth uncle, and then looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said with a serious expression: "Big brother, I just received two messages. ”

As soon as he saw him, Zheng Zhilong knew that it was not ordinary news, so he hurriedly asked, "What news?" ”

"A stranger has come to Quanzhou, and his identity has been verified, and he is Dongchang Fanzi!" Zheng Zhibao immediately replied solemnly.

Zheng Zhilong is a good person, so he does more good deeds in his lair, and his reputation is quite good. The locals have almost all become the eyes and ears of the Zheng family. When outsiders come, even if they hide their identities again, they can't hide it from the Zheng family.

As soon as he heard Zheng Zhibao's answer, Zheng Zhilong immediately stood up.

Dongchang Fanzi arrived in Quanzhou, needless to say, he must have come for him.

This point made Zheng Zhilong unexpected, the imperial court actually sent Dongchang Fanzi, is that a good match?

It seems that the imperial court is really about to start doing something to the Zheng family, if he has not satisfied the imperial court on his side, he will be like the Confucian family in Qufu, using knives and guns!

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong's face was very grim, but he could still maintain his apparent calmness, and just asked again: "What else is the news?" ”

"Our people on the Jingshi side, send ......back the news quickly," Zheng Zhibao immediately replied, "Under the command of Xingguo Gong, the imperial court officials and troops won the battle of Ningyuan, not to mention the restoration of Ningyuan, and also eliminated more than 30,000 Jianjiao, captured alive the Gushan Ezhen with a white flag, and won a great victory, and returned to Beijing in triumph in a few days!" ”

Since the last time, Zheng Zhilong has sent people to Beijing, and if there is any major news, he will fly to Fujian as soon as possible.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong also knew about the affairs of the Kong family in Qufu before, but at that time he felt that the Kong family in Shandong had something to do with him. The reason why he thinks so, in the final analysis, is also the reason why he is unwilling to give up the southeast coast and lose his mind.

At this time, he has actually been awakened by Zheng Fusong and Zheng Hongkui, and he can look at things more objectively. After hearing the two news brought by Zheng Zhibao, the expression on his face obviously changed.

But before he could speak, Zheng Fusong was already surprised, and heard him say to Zheng Zhibao: "Is this news true?" Even the solid mountain with a white flag was captured alive? ”

Zheng Fusong has been the commander of the Denglai Navy for so long, so he naturally knows more about Jianyu than others. Therefore, he can understand how difficult it is for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court to recover Ningyuan and capture the Gushan Ezhen with white flags alive!

Although his Zheng family was invincible at sea, during the Battle of Phi Island that day, he also saw Jianyu on the shore. Not only himself, but Zheng Hongkui also told him that they were all elite soldiers, and if the Zheng family went ashore, it would not be the opponent of those Jianyu at all.

But this time, the imperial court officials and troops actually wiped out more than 30,000 Jianjiao, which was an unprecedented victory! It's unprecedented!

Thinking like this, he didn't wait for Zheng Zhibao to answer him, so he said with emotion: "I thought that the Duke of Xingguo led the troops to fight in the south and the north and defeated so many thieves, so I felt very powerful. Now I didn't expect that the Duke of Xingguo led the troops to fight Jianyu, and it turned out to be so powerful! Tsk, Xingguo Gong is so powerful! ”

When he sighed at this, he turned his head to look at him Lao Tzu, and deliberately accentuated his tone in the last sentence, obviously saying it to his Lao Tzu.

Zheng Zhilong had ears, so naturally he heard it, so he glared at his son. Then, he looked at Zheng Zhibao and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zheng Zhibao listened, but before he could answer, he heard Zheng Fusong rush to say: "The meaning of me and the fourth uncle is to let my father go north as soon as possible, and our Zheng family can still be peaceful, otherwise it will definitely be the same as the Qufu Kong family!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Do you want you to talk more? ”

Zheng Zhibao looked at the father and son, looked down at the letter on the desk, then looked up at Zheng Zhilong and said: "Big brother, it is not easy for the three of us in the Zheng family to hold official positions now, if we do it well, we will definitely be able to shine in the future, if it drags on any longer, the imperial court will not only send Dongchang fans." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he accentuated his tone and emphatically said: "It's a good thing to be able to make money, but the imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the past!" ”

Zheng Zhilong listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said with a little emotion: "Yes, today's court is no longer the previous court!" If you have a life to make money, you have to have a life to spend money! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Fusong's face immediately showed great joy, and he immediately said to Zheng Zhilong: "Dad, then I'll go find my mother!" ”

Obviously, the matter has been satisfactorily settled, and he is going to see her mother.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, his face sank, and he immediately shouted: "What's the hurry? Is your mother still running? The boss is not small, and he is still frizzy, sit down and talk about things! ”

"I'm not frizzy, I'm already a general soldier!" Zheng Fusong said this, but still sat down.

His words choked Zheng Zhilong, and he had an urge to beat people: The general soldier is amazing, it's not the road that your father paved for you!

But there is one thing that he is actually relieved of. In terms of major rights and wrongs and major choices, his seemingly unreliable son made the right choice twice.

At this time, he naturally didn't know that if in the original history, on the issue of right and wrong, Zheng Fusong chose the right one, and his name would be remembered through the ages; But he made the wrong choice all his life, and finally fell into disrepute and died in exile in Ningguta.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong already had a plan in his heart, so he was able to calm down again, and immediately asked Zheng Fusong about his experience and experience in the north.

He asked very carefully, especially about the situation of the imperial army, as well as the situation of the Liaodong Jianyu. In the end, Zheng Fusong was driven away, and he discussed it with Zheng Zhibao again.

In the evening, Zheng Zhilong gathered his henchmen and his son Zheng Fusong together and announced the decision: "Early the day after tomorrow, I will prepare to set off for the north. The affairs of Fujian will be handed over to Fusong. He is still young and lacks experience, so you have to help him with all your heart! ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, his mouth curled, and he was a little unhappy.

However, in front of so many uncles, he also knew the sense of proportion, and did not speak up publicly.

Zheng Zhilong's brothers and confidants naturally did not refuse Zheng Zhilong's request, and agreed together.

Zheng Fusong is now the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy Division, and his high official position means that the official positions under him also have a new ceiling, which is also a good thing for them.

Zheng Zhilong's expression still did not relax, and he still explained to them seriously: "I don't worry about anything else, you have to guard against the Hongyi of the big people." I'm not here, and the sailor has been transferred to the north so much, I'm worried that Hongyi will be ready to move! ”

In the coastal area of Daming, there is an income of tens of millions of silver in the annual protection fee, which is definitely a huge amount of money. The previous Dutch were subdued by Zheng Zhilong, and they also had to pay protection money to Zheng Zhilong. If they have the chance, they will definitely not be reconciled!

Of course, Zheng Zhibao knew this in his heart, so he immediately took the lead and said: "Brother, don't worry, we will help Fusong." ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he was not afraid, but his eyes rolled wildly, he seemed to remember that Xingguo Gong said that the Dayuan was the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

Zheng Zhilong didn't care about anything else, arranged all the things he handed over immediately, and then set off to go to Beijing.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei had already coaxed Zhu Yujiao to be happy, and the family was happy to meet.

Now it's time to get down to business.
