"That's something to consider." Wu Zheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "After all, the two sides are mutually beneficial, Zheng Sen guarantees the safety of merchant ships in eastern Zhejiang, and there is a way to repay the peach, and this king should naturally have contacts and dealings...... However, you have to tell Zheng Sen not to think about digging the corners of this king's wall again, otherwise, there will be no next time. ”

Wu Zheng pointed out that Zheng Chenggong recruited Wang Deren, and from Wang Deren's looting proceeds, he absorbed the property that originally belonged to the Financial Secretary.

Chen Yonghua could naturally understand, and nodded and said, "The student must be transferred to my king...... What about the soldiers and ships led by Shi Lang before, this should always be returned to us, right? ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "This king has said that the twisted melons are not sweet, and the hearts of the people have already turned their backs, so what's the use of asking them back?" With a population of tens of millions in Fujian and Guangdong, Zheng Sen is still afraid that he will not be able to find manpower? Since these people have already rebelled in front of Zheng Sen and returned them, they must not be punished by Zheng Sen, why bother? ”

"Yes...... Can....... Chen Yonghua was rarely swallowed, in fact, he also understood that Wu Zheng was right, at this time, if he wanted to go back, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape Zheng Chenggong's severe punishment after all, and even harm his family.

Wu Zheng said: "Chen Yonghua, this king knows that you are a reasonable person...... Let's put it this way, people, if you don't want to go back, their family, Zheng Sen had better not move, if you do, it is tantamount to forcing this king to go south. However, the seventy or eighty boats brought by Shi Lang can be returned to Zheng Sen, and of course, the three boats captured by our army in Taishan can be left without boats, and the people have to be returned. This should be regarded as the sincerity of this king, right? ”

Chen Yonghua smiled bitterly, the captives refused to let go, and the captives had to be returned, is there such sincerity?

However, Chen Yonghua knew that there were not many people captured in Taishan, more than 100, and Zheng Chenggong really couldn't look down on these people, and besides, these people had no intention of surrendering to Zheng Chenggong.

Instead of accepting some disloyal people and offending Wu Zheng, it is better to change dozens of boats, which is more in line with Zheng Chenggong's thoughts.

Chen Yonghua hesitated for a while, and then responded: "The student has to rush back to report to my king, and this matter must be approved by my king before he can reply to His Highness." ”

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Then why don't you go back and report it quickly?" ”

Chen Yonghua hurriedly responded, bowed down, and turned his head out.

At this time, Wu Zheng behind him said: "Tell Zheng Sen that Zheng Zhiguan had already colluded with Dolgon a year ago, and this battle was not all about plundering merchant ships under Zheng Sen's orders, but deliberately provoking the dirtiness between this king and Zheng Sen...... Let Zheng Sen do it himself, don't be a gun by the little one around him, of course, Zheng Sen can also not believe it, then I didn't say it. ”

Chen Yonghua's body suddenly stiffened when he heard this, Huo Ran turned his head, looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Does His Royal Highness King Wu have any evidence?" ”

Wu Zheng waved his hand casually and said: "Zheng Zhiguan was killed by Zheng Cai, although there is no proof of death, but among the captives, many of them are Zheng Zhiguan's henchmen and cronies, and their confessions should be admissible...... These people, if Zheng Sen wants, this king can send him. ”

Chen Yonghua was stunned, he knew that Wu Zheng would not lie about this, because it was completely unnecessary.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yonghua solemnly said to Wu Zheng, "Thank you His Royal Highness King Wu for your advice." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wu Zheng looked at his back and thought to himself, no matter how great a person is, before he has made a career, he is just an ordinary person.

However, the impression of Chen Yonghua is not bad, Wu Zheng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, if he pulled Chen Yonghua to his side, would he be able to see him every day? The name "If you don't know Chen Jinnan, it's useless to call yourself a hero", is it an exception for himself? Wu Zheng couldn't help but be amused by the evil taste in his heart.

Ma Shiying, who was on the side, finally had a chance to speak at this time, and he looked at Wu Zheng regretfully: "Seventy or eighty boats, the prince just gave up?" If Uncle Wang is here, I'm afraid it will have to make trouble again. ”

Wu Zheng rolled his eyelids and snorted, "He dare?!" This king is not afraid of him, but his heart aches for him. He really made a bloody effort in this battle, so no matter what, I have to leave the fifty boats in the Diaoyu Island area to compensate him. Otherwise, those ships will have to be returned to Zheng Chenggong, which is equivalent to being an enemy, haha...... Old horse, this king is showing his face today, and I have said such unreasonable things with a cheeky face. ”

Ma Shiying said with a smile, "The prince is naturally the most reasonable...... However, the situation is not as good as others, and King Yanping may have to respond, but it is a pity that in this way, it can only be a small victory. ”

Wu Zheng's old face turned red and shouted, "Get out!" ”

……。

Wu Zheng really didn't want to force Zheng Chenggong too much.

Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong lost the water division, not the army, otherwise, Wu Zheng would really not be able to cut his flesh.

The facts were also as Ma Shiying estimated, and Zheng Chenggong agreed to Wu Zheng's request.

Whether he was reluctant or persuaded by Chen Yonghua, he agreed anyway.

The two sides signed a peace agreement similar to that in the sea near the Seven Star Island.

The main content is that the boundary is to the east of Pumen, and the sailors of both sides are not allowed to cross the boundary without authorization. Each binds its subordinates not to provoke, and has the obligation to guard the merchant ships of the other party.

The fleet that Shi Lang took away before was returned to Zheng Chenggong. At the same time, captured personnel on both sides are free to stay or repatriate at their own choice, and neither side may deliberately obstruct them.

Zheng Chenggong did not meet with Wu Zheng in the end, but directly led the fleet back to Chaoyang at the end, because Jieyang was in an emergency, and Zheng Chenggong needed to return to command immediately.

The agreement was signed by Chen Yonghua with Zheng Chenggong's Wang Yin.

When Chen Yonghua left, Wu Zheng said to Chen Yonghua with a smile, "After you go back, pay attention to Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan." ”

Chen Yonghua was stunned, he was very puzzled, Feng Xifan he knew, Feng Xifan's father Feng Chengshi, was Zheng Chenggong's subordinate Gongguan (the official office that manages the handicraft industry, responsible for managing engineers, craftsmen, apprentices, subordinates, etc.), but he has no intersection with himself at all.

Besides, who is Liu Guoxuan?

Chen Yonghua really didn't know him, he wanted to ask, but Wu Zheng had already waved his hand and left.

So, Chen Yonghua left with the fleet returned by Wu Zheng with full of questions.

At this point, a war that almost got out of control finally came to an end.

Although in this battle, Wang Yilin's casualties were very large, with more than 600 killed, missing, and drowned, if it were not for Zhang Mingzhen's timely arrival in Taishan and then returning to the waters of Qixing Island, the number of casualties is estimated to be more than doubled.

And more than 20 of Wang Yilin's main warships have been damaged in this battle, but fortunately, with the surrendered Zheng family sailors, the strength has increased a lot.

In order to appease Wang Yilin, Wu Zheng promised to provide him with a new artillery outfit, and officially appointed Wang Yilin as the commander-in-chief of Chen Qianshan's water division, so Wang Yilin's pirate career ended completely before it began.

Under the command of Wu Zheng, there were three water divisions from then on, with Wu Song's water division being the strongest, Chen Qian's water division being the second, and the original Zhoushan water division being the last.
