Regarding Xingguo Gong's naked threats in this letter, it is impossible for Zheng Zhilong to ignore them. Of course, he wasn't really scared, and he would give in if he threatened him casually. If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to stand out from the crowd.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he looked up at his son and asked coldly, "Have you seen that Xingguo Gong, how is this person?" ”

Although it was still very cold, there was no anger, which made Zheng Fusong very surprised, and at the same time, he felt that the letter really worked, so he hurriedly replied: "Incredible! ”

Zheng Hongkui and others, when they heard Zheng Zhilong's question, they also paid attention to how this nephew answered, and when they heard it at this time, they were suddenly a little dumbfounded, what is incredible?

Zheng Zhilong was the same, he didn't expect his son to answer like this, so he frowned and asked, "What is incredible?" ”

"It's incredible!" When Zheng Fusong heard this, he immediately emphasized, and then immediately explained, "Xingguo Gong is about twenty years old, and he is very kind, but he commands the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a princess by his side. In short, the child can see that the prince attaches great importance to the relationship with Xingguo Gong, and it can even be said that he obeys his words! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but turn his head to look at his brothers, and they were all surprised to find each other.

They have heard about the fact that Xingguo Gong is accompanied by the princess. Now that his son has confirmed that he doesn't say it, even the prince has this attitude, which is really too unexpected for them.

In the past, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was not accompanied by a princess! The Wanli Emperor seemed to be very respectful to Zhang Juzheng, but he was more afraid. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used "as if seeing relatives" to describe this Xingguo Gong, which is indeed a bit incredible!

Thinking like this, he heard Zheng Hongkui confirm: "Are you mistaken, how can the prince see that Xingguo Gong as if he was seeing his relatives?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Fusong immediately replied with such an expression: "That's really the case!" ”

After speaking, he described the scene of Zhu Cihong meeting Xingguo Gong and the subsequent situation with Xingguo Gong, and finally made sure again and again: "That's it, isn't this the same as seeing relatives?" ”

"......" Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui and others couldn't help but be speechless when they heard it. For a moment, they couldn't think of what to say.

Even Zheng Fusong's mother, who usually doesn't pay attention to things in officialdom at all, immediately became interested and asked Zheng Fusong: "Xingguo Gong really has to cook, and then the princess and the prince volunteered to help and made that all-potato banquet?" ”

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, and immediately added another question: "Is it delicious?" ”

Sure enough, sometimes, the concerns of men and women are indeed different.

Regarding his mother's question, Zheng Fusong naturally gave priority to answering, nodded immediately, and replied secretly with a little excitement: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's powdery, it's really delicious." ”

"Really? You tell your mother, Xingguo Gong made those potato dishes, and my mother will try it too, okay? Zheng Fusong listened to it and immediately asked with great interest.

"Okay, okay, the kid likes that sweet and sour potato the most!" When Zheng Fusong heard this, he immediately responded.

Zheng Zhilong's face stretched on the side, he was discussing the matter of life and death of the Zheng family, but the mother and son actually discussed how to eat potatoes.

So, he said coldly: "Okay, you go back first, we are talking about big things!" ”

When Zheng Fusong's mother heard this, she came back to her senses, so she hurriedly blessed Zheng Zhilong, and then prepared to leave. She still knows the severity of the matter.

However, he was still a little uneasy, so he said again: "If there is something wrong with Fusong, just say that he is!" ”

"Got it!" Zheng Zhilong had already passed the time when he was angry, and now he was more concerned about the situation brought about by Xingguo Gong's letter, so he responded casually, waved his hand a little impatiently, and asked her to leave quickly.

When Zheng Fusong's mother saw it, she didn't say much, looked back at her son, and turned to leave.

But when she reached the threshold, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said softly to Zheng Fusong: "Don't be angry with your father anymore, my mother will let people go to find potatoes, and I will make sweet and sour potatoes for you when I turn around!" ”

Originally, the atmosphere in the room, because she was about to leave, was cold again, after all, she had to discuss such a big matter, but she didn't expect that she would say this, and suddenly, the atmosphere of the room was immediately disturbed by her.

After she finally left for a while, Zheng Zhilong recovered his mood and continued to ask Zheng Fusong, "What else?" ”

"And?" Zheng Fusong thought about it for a while, and immediately replied, "There are also vinegared shredded potatoes, which are also delicious!" ”

Originally, Zheng Zhilong had no fire, but as soon as he heard this, the fire suddenly came out again, and he slapped the table angrily, making a loud "snap", obviously very hard, and at the same time, he roared at Zheng Fusong: "I asked about Xingguo Gong, not eating!" ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he knew that he had answered wrong, and he was a little weak-hearted, so he hurriedly replied: "There is also a strict discipline in the Xingguo Public Army, and even a military class composed of female soldiers has been set up in the army, one is called the literary and artistic soldiers, and the other is called the health soldiers. The child went to see it with the prince, and it felt very good......"

Listening to his son's introduction to the various incredible situations on Xingguogong's side, especially the morale of the army, and even the way Xingguo Gong often used when he fought against him.

Although he doesn't know the word public opinion warfare, this method, in fact, Zheng Zhilong himself is good at, and often uses various means to buy his opponent's subordinates, which is a similar method.

And the means of rejuvenating the country are even more upright, which can be said to be a conspiracy, which makes it impossible to crack.

Zheng Zhilong thought about it a lot, and even thought that if one day in the future, the relationship between himself and the imperial court deteriorated, and if the Duke of Xingguo led the troops to attack, would he be able to stop the means he used?

Zheng Zhilong is actually very good at being a man, he runs his own territory, not only bribing those bureaucrats to speak for him, but also paying for all kinds of good deeds in his hometown, so he is very popular with the local people.

Originally, he felt that after doing this, his basic plate would be stable.

However, after he thought about it deeply, he found that if Xingguo Gong really came to fight him, backed by the imperial court, and used that yang strategy, he found that he could not resist it, and he could only flee to the sea in the end!

Thinking about this, he really had a headache.

With an income of 10 million taels of silver a year, no matter who it is, he will not want to give up. Not to mention, he can have today, it is because of how many years he has survived and how many ups and downs he has experienced.

If he could, he really didn't want to change the situation.

But now, he has learned that Xingguo Gong is a person, and he does things, as his son said, can be described by the word "incredible".

If we speculate according to the current situation, the thieves will definitely not be able to stop the offensive of Xingguo Gong. If he said before that the imperial court could quell the thieves in two years, he thought it was impossible, and now he really can't think so arbitrarily that the imperial court has no such ability.

That is to say, the next real opponent of the imperial court is only Liaodong Jianyu.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong thought of Liaodong Jianyu, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then one of his henchmen rushed to the door with a copy of the Di newspaper, but did not dare to enter, but just held the Di Bao and said with a little excitement: "My lord, great victory, great victory in Liaodong!" ”

In any case, as a member of the Ming Dynasty, even if the relationship between the northern affairs and Fujian is very far, it must be happy to hear that the Liaodong side, which the imperial court has never been able to beat, has also had a great victory.

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he was the first to react, and he didn't care that he was actually being taught a lesson by his father at this time, so he immediately walked over quickly, took the newspaper and read it immediately.

When the henchman saw the mess and the scene in the house, he didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately retreated.

"Haha, what a big victory, what a victory!" As soon as the room was quiet, I heard Zheng Fusong suddenly laugh excitedly and said, "The imperial court even went down to Haizhou City, Anshan Post Fort, and even the soldiers went directly to the outside of Liaoyang City, treating Jianyu as nothing, amazing, amazing!" ”

Although Zheng Zhilong didn't pay special attention to Liaodong, Haizhou City and Liaoyang knew about it, so when he heard it, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly asked his son for a report and quickly looked at it.

After reading it, he showed the report to several of his brothers, and after being silent for a while, he asked with a serious face: "Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is in sight?" ”

"Of course......" Before Zheng Hongkui and the others could answer, Zheng Fusong immediately took over the topic as a matter of course, but immediately found that his father's face was gloomy as if it was going to rain, so he finally stopped the words and didn't dare to say it again.

If the court is prosperous, then it will become stronger, and then it will be impossible for his Zheng family to live such a good life again!

Zheng Fusong didn't care, but Zheng Zhilong cared very much.

However, if the imperial court wants to prosper, this is not something he can influence.

Thinking of this, he had to seriously consider the threat of Xingguo Gong, because it was very likely that this threat would become real and he could not resist it.

There was silence in the room again, and after a long while, Zheng Zhilong suddenly looked up at Zheng Fusong and asked, "What did Guogong say about the prestige of the foreign land, do you know what the situation is?" ”

From the tone of his words, Zheng Fusong could tell that his father was already seriously considering this matter, and was likely to agree, and suddenly, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly replied to his father: "The Duke of Xingguo once said to the child that when the civil strife is pacified, the goal of the imperial court is to have the existence of the Ming Sailor wherever the sea and ocean can reach!" ”
