Chapter 103: Ji Sun's Worries (6)

Chen Kai shot Zheng Zhiguan, and that was five years ago. But this rehash of the old story is not a little strange to Zheng Chenggong, because that matter is too important for the entire Zheng group - not just the death of Zheng Zhiguan, but more importantly, the nature of the Zheng group can be adjusted for Zheng Chenggong to be a military and political group with the core goal of resisting the Qing Dynasty, rather than a maritime group with maritime trade as the fundamental interest in his father's time.

The last five years are also the five years of the rapid expansion of the Zheng group, the Fujian battlefield from a small center and left, then Zhangzhou Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion, and even the entire Fujian land, and in the Guangdong battlefield is also from a Chaozhou Mansion rapidly expanded, making the entire Zheng Group become the optimus jade pillar supporting the Nanming Dynasty, standing side by side with the Great Western Army in the southwest.

During this time, Chen Kai once again turned over this matter, and Zheng Chenggong was stunned. At first, he had already realized that there would definitely be a gap and estrangement between Chen Kai and Zheng Jing, which was mainly reflected in Zheng Jing's concern about Chen Kai's potential strength, but now, in Chen Kai's mouth, he has been doing this for many years, and the fundamental reason will be his son who was only a few years old back then, which taught him how to be easily convinced?

"He's still a kid!"

The word child again, Zheng Chenggong was once again pierced by his own words. From that day's eloquent talk, in terms of the hidden worries about the expansion of Chen Kai's power caused by the reform of Duke Wen of Jin, his eldest son is worthy of the word precocious.

This seems to be in the same vein - his father Zheng Zhilong went to Macao at the age of seventeen to join his uncle in maritime trade, and by the age of nineteen, he was already regarded as a glorious and prominent figure by the Japanese, and in the following year, he was directly involved in Yan Siqi's conspiracy to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate; And he, in the early years, was more comfortable with his father's shadow, but at the age of twenty-two he began to lead troops to fight, and at the end of the same year, he was attacked by the exile of his father and the death of his mother.

For a while, the astonishment came to my heart, but my face was still like iron and stone. However, after many years of friendship, how could Chen Kai not understand what Zheng Chenggong was thinking here.

"Da Mu, didn't you notice the look in Jing'er's eyes when she saw me, my little uncle, or when she mentioned my name?"

The eye is the window to the soul, which was once said by Leonardo da Vinci, the most influential Renaissance who lived in the 15th and 16th centuries. However, more than 1,800 years before Leonardo da Vinci was born, Mencius, who was also known as Confucius, said something similar.

Zheng Chenggong has read the books of sages, and of course he knows that "those who exist in people are better than their eyes." The eyes cannot hide their evil. If the chest is right, the eyes will be clear; If the chest is not right, then the eyes are narrowing" What does it mean? During this time, Chen Kai mentioned Zheng Jing's eyes, recalling and searching the fragments in his mind, especially the last time Zheng Jing borrowed the question, the moment he mentioned the three words "little uncle", the emotions flashing in his eyes were extremely complicated, but the most difficult thing to hide was that fear!

Zheng Chenggong is such a smart person, just that sentence of inner demons, just need to uncover the last fig leaf through memories, he only thought it all out in an instant.

On the warship at the wharf of the center left, gunshots rang out, Zheng Jing's third uncle fell in response, lead bullets pierced through the skull, and red blood and white brains suddenly splashed Dong Yougu and Zheng Jing's faces. From that moment on, Chen Kai became a demon in the eyes of the Ishii Zheng family, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly, and then the delay in the marriage between Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan came from the backlash of the family. And as a witness to Chen Kai's murder and seizure of the army, and his heir to Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing, who was only eight or nine years old at the time, the child who grew up in the hands of a woman, once faced the horror of Shunchang's rebellion when Chen Kai killed Zheng Zhiguan and shocked Lan Deng, Zhou Quanbin and others, so that fear is bound to be deeply rooted in his heart and become a demon in Chen Kai's mouth.

However, if you want to be a well-deserved leader and lead this group to survive and develop in such an era when the law of the jungle is the strong, you must have a sense of awe, but fear should never exist.

In other words, if Zheng Jing wants to inherit Zheng Chenggong's career, it is far from enough to rely on blood and patriarchy. If he can't get rid of the demons in his heart, he is not worthy of inheriting this huge military and political group!

This point also played out in Zheng Chenggong's body - Zheng Zhilong was taken captive, and the actual leader of the Zheng group was neither Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Hongkui, nor Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Chenggong, but Zheng Cai, who came from the Gaopu Zheng family, because he was stronger than Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong at that time, controlled more maritime trade resources, and more importantly, Zheng Cai was never afraid of competitors within other groups. And Zheng Chenggong finally defeated Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's brothers, reunited the Zheng Group, and then had everything that followed. Otherwise, he will only be confined to a corner of eastern Guangdong, and will not be able to have the momentum and authority he has today.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are conflicts of interest. Zheng Chenggong has known this truth since he was a child, because his father used his legendary experience as a teaching by word and deed.

Therefore, since Zheng Chenggong led the troops, he has always done an excellent job of checking and balancing the rights of his subordinates. The powerful uncles and nephews of the Shi family back then, even without Chen Kai's help, controlled them within a controllable range through several means such as differentiation, co-optation, and suppression. So much so that later Shi Lang was domineering, and even rebelled and fled, Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others, who were once the head of the Shi family's army, all chose to be loyal to Zheng Chenggong, rather than rebellious, and even Shi Lang's deputy general Su Mao only helped him escape, in order to repay the kindness of his acquaintance, but in the Ming and Qing wars, he still chose to follow Zheng Chenggong.

He has always done an excellent job, but what he never expected was that the contradiction between Chen Kai, who he trusted the most, and his eldest son, who is also the future heir, has developed to this point, and when his son grows up, the two will inevitably fight each other. Therefore, Zheng Jing has now begun to try to weaken Chen Kai's power, which is why Chen Kai will do so many things without him, because they all know very well that this battle is inevitable.

"As long as I'm alive, none of you will try to turn this day upside down!"

Falling into the abyss, it stirred up thousands of waves. Zheng Chenggong was still sitting there, but with the exit of this sentence, the undoubted spirit also came out of his body, as if the whole person was raised by more than a thousand feet.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong's momentum is terrifying, Rao is Chen Kai has stood in the midst of thousands of troops several times, and he can't help but have some difficulty breathing, as if even the air is much thinner.

was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, Chen Kai suddenly laughed secretly. It's not Zheng Chenggong's courage to laugh, in fact, Zheng Chenggong still has enough confidence to control the fate of this group, and he can indeed do this. He smiled because he knew from the beginning that if Zheng Chenggong was still alive, there would be absolutely no difference between him and Zheng Jing. And Zheng Chenggong's lifespan, according to his memory, there should be no more than a few years left, but he just lost the career of one of the culprits of Zheng Chenggong's death in history in Nanjiang not long ago, and his hard work over the years is also to reverse the tragedy of the nation's sinking. In this way, it is theoretically unlikely that Zheng Chenggong's lifespan will be as it was in history.

"Yes, as long as you are alive for one day, Jing'er and I will not really get to the point where you are dead or alive."

An agreement was re-reached, but in Zheng Chenggong's eyes, or Chen Kai's posture, there was no trace of compromise on either side. The Zheng Group Inheritance War will still break out in the future, Chen Kai will still continue to do the current things, Zheng Chenggong can only master his lifespan, once he exceeds this limit, he can no longer do anything.

I have known each other for nearly ten years, and I have known each other for nearly ten years, and even the pillow people of the two cannot compare with each other. This is nourished by the tacit cooperation that has been fighting side by side for many years, and it is incomparable. In the study, the abyss and the stormy waves froze instantly, and the two of them returned to a state of sinking like water, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

Looking at each other like this, the past is vivid, and there are thousands of thoughts, but no one speaks. It lasted for an unknown amount of time before Zheng Chenggong reopened this last round of dialogue.

"I now have two choices for you, or, I ask the court to appoint you as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and then Jing'er will worship under your door; Or, you go back to be your governor of Guangdong, waiting for the imperial court to let you take over the errand of Lianchengbi. You can decide this matter in a word. ”

The governor of Zhejiang and Fujian restarted the game between each other, and Zheng Chenggong would put forward such a choice, which was really beyond Chen Kai's expectations. remembers that at the beginning of last year, Guo Zhiqi also used this position to woo him, but he was not only rejected on the spot, but also informed Zheng Chenggong afterwards. As a result, it was only a year, and this choice was placed in front of him again, as if he was so destined for this position.

"If I choose the latter, won't I be able to get out of this study?"

Zheng Chenggong's martial arts and enlightenment began with the Japanese swordsman Hanabo Gonemon. This person is not only a friend of Zheng Zhilong, but also a descendant of the "Two Sword Streams" created by the Japanese sword saint Miyamoto Musashi, which may be suspected of clinging, but he can become a friend of the maritime tycoon at that time, and enlighten martial arts for the son of a friend, presumably it will not be low. In the years that followed, Zheng Chenggong also followed Zheng Zhihu, the first fierce general of the Zheng family, and Zheng Hongkui, who had been admitted to martial arts, to hone his martial arts, and to boil his body. In contrast, he has learned to ride a horse and a firearm at most over the years, and the great thing is that he has gotten rid of the sub-health of the city, if the swords are combined, even if the gunpowder is loaded in advance, he is afraid that the trigger has not been pulled and his head is already in a different place.

When the words came out here, there was absolutely no fear, sadness, anger and other looks on his face, some of them were more ridiculous and meaningless, and even more touched by Zheng Chenggong's efforts to bridge the contradictions between him and Zheng Jing.

"You knew from the beginning that I wouldn't kill you, so why bother with such bad words."

After many years of friendship, the only time Zheng Chenggong decided to get rid of Chen Kai was when he insisted on going to Jiangxi. But even so, the order he gave to Cai Qiao was that Chen Kai had to surrender in order to get rid of this great disaster for the country. Otherwise, even if Chen Kai is used by the Jiangxi Ming army, he must not start.

Back then, he didn't think about getting rid of Chen Kai by violent means, and he never had that idea now. In this, not only the bond between the two over the years, but also Zheng Chenggong's family affection for Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Xiyuan, and a lot If Chen Kai dies in his hands, it will inevitably cause the collective cold-hearted interests of the generals and officials under his command, and even if it is for Zheng Jing, he must not touch Chen Kai at all!

From the beginning, Chen Kai used Zheng Jing's fear of him as a breakthrough, the purpose was to let Zheng Chenggong understand the weakness of his son. Assuming that Zheng Jing can't break through Chen Kai's inner demon on his own, then he is not qualified to become the leader of this group and is not enough to inherit Zheng Chenggong's career; If Zheng Jing can eliminate Chen Kai's inner demon by himself, then now Zheng Chenggong will pull out this thorn for him early, not to love him, but to harm him, so that he lacks the experience and tempering of confrontation with the extreme powerhouse in his life. It's like Zhu Yuanzhang almost pulled out the founding fathers for Zhu Yunwen back then, but Zhu Yunwen still couldn't keep the throne, which is a reason.

All this, Chen Kai put Zheng Jing's fear on the bright side, and they were already tacit with each other. Even Zheng Chenggong could imagine that if Chen Kai became the winner of the Zheng Group's succession war a hundred years later, then Zheng Jing would probably have a rich result. But if Chen Kai is defeated, it will inevitably be a place where there is no place to die.

Fairness is the most difficult thing in the world. But no matter how it ends, this showdown is bound to happen, because Zheng Jing's fear of Chen Kai is real, it's as simple as that. As for Zheng Chenggong, all he could do was to ensure that the struggle within the Zheng clique would not affect the struggle against the Manchus before the Tartars were expelled. At this point, he believed that Chen Kai had this overall situation, and his son was still young now, and he was not old enough to support him to pose a big enough threat to Chen Kai.

"You go back to the post house to rest first, there will be a meeting tomorrow, and the Marquis of Jianping and Governor Lu will all attend."

"Yes." Standing up, Chen Kai bowed and retreated to the door. Until he was about to open the door, he suddenly turned around again and bowed to the end, and the solemnity had never been before: "Da Mu, I'm sorry." After that, without waiting for Zheng Chenggong's answer, he pushed open the door by himself and strode out of the room.

As the sun set, Chen Kai's back gradually disappeared in the re-gathered sunlight. It was only at this time that Zheng Chenggong sighed sincerely: "Actually, you didn't feel sorry for me, you killed the third uncle for the cause I and our common cause, and now you just want to protect your wife and children." However, you are hiding too much from me, and this will definitely not work! ”
