As he spoke, Zheng Chenggong pulled out his sword, cut off his hair, and then waved his hand, asking the person sent by Zheng Hongkui to go down, and it seemed that he didn't want to see people and things about Zheng Hongkui for even a second.

Speaking of which, if someone else is changed, or whether it is his third uncle Zheng Zhiguan or his fifth uncle Zheng Zhibao, they are far less influential than Zheng Hongkui on him in this matter.

Unlike those two uncles, Zheng Hongkui has attached great importance to Zheng Chenggong since he was a child, and when everyone regarded him as a child, he had already identified him as "my family's thousand-mile horse"; When Zheng Zhilong conspired to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong strongly opposed, and it was Zheng Hongkui who protected this nephew under the pressure of his brother, so that Zheng Chenggong burned his clothes and raised troops, and only then did he have today's national surname, otherwise Zheng Chenggong would end up under house arrest like his father and several younger brothers; In the following days, he attacked Quanzhou and cooperated to develop Chaozhou, Zheng Hongkui has always been doing his best to cultivate him and help him, and even the baby girl who has always been regarded as a pearl in his palm is also a letter from him, and he expressed his approval of the marriage. The trust in him has long surpassed the relationship between ordinary uncles and nephews.

Of course, trust is relative, just as Zheng Hongkui is to Zheng Chenggong, and Zheng Chenggong is also to Zheng Hongkui.

Faced with his father's determination to surrender and take him with him to see Bolo, the first person he thought of asking for help was this uncle; When encountering Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's plot against the "surface brothers", everyone will be suspicious, but when Zheng Hongkui's handwritten letter is delivered, he can go to Quanzhou without hesitation to meet Zheng Hongkui; When Chen Kai outwitted the capital city of Chaozhou, he did not have any discussion with this mastermind, so he directly sent someone to invite Zheng Hongkui to come to participate in the grand event, and assigned the rich Jieyang to Zheng Hongkui, and the uncle and nephew expanded their influence in Chaozhou back to back.

As the saying goes, the person who hurts you the most is precisely the person you trust the most, because only when people face such people will they open their hearts and expose the softest places in their hearts. Just a bad remark is enough to say it all. And the latter sentence "If you don't kill the captives, you won't see each other", it drew a clear line for the relationship between the two!

After receiving the message, Zheng Hongkui was stunned for a long time and did not speak. If it was just Chen Kai, the future son-in-law, he wouldn't take it too seriously, but Zheng Chenggong was like this, and his shock to him was incomprehensible.

The result of this experience is very bad. The island entered and exited with the Qing army, and the sense of security brought by the barrier of the strait no longer existed, even if Chen Kai was arbitrary, recovered the loss, and gave the Qing army a great blow, but in the future, Zheng Chenggong wanted to go on an expedition to another country, how could the soldiers under his command let go of their parents, wives and children at home?

Zheng Hongkui knows Zheng Chenggong's character too well, when he was good at killing Chaoyang tyrant Zhang Li and trapping Zheng Chenggong in injustice, Zheng Chenggong didn't say half a hard word, just went back to Chaozhou City in a fit of anger and came back for a few days to help him eradicate the local tyrants and bandits who made him scratch his head. But this time, his pair of brothers and he went too far, and it was clearly a stab in Zheng Chenggong's heart.

"Perhaps, I should have listened to it at the beginning, first to give the Tartar to be ruthless, and then place all the clansmen on the island like he is doing now, and the captive master can help me to get the Ishii Zheng family!"

In this world, regret medicine is the most nowhere to be found, Zheng Hongkui knows that the estrangement has arisen, and he has indeed made an unforgivable mistake in this matter. So, he decided to move to Baisha, temporarily away from Xiamen, and at the same time wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong, explaining that the reason why he let the horse go and escaped was because Zheng Zhilong was in the capital, and his mother's life was difficult, otherwise, he would not be like this, and expressed his dissatisfaction and grievance that Zheng Chenggong suspected him of his ill intentions.

On the same day, Zheng Hongkui's fleet set off for Xiamen Island. Zheng Chenggong took a few days, and because Xiamen did not completely fall this time, he also returned to the ship earlier than the original and anchored at the port of Aozai.

It has been more than half a month since the Qing army attacked the island for the annihilation of the Ming army, and Hong Xu presided over it, and the people who fled to the neighboring islands and hidden mountains and forests also returned to their hometowns to carry out post-war reconstruction work. Zheng Chenggong's army landed and was stationed on the line from Aozai Port to Zhongzuo City, and when he arrived at Zhongzuo City, he deliberately walked to the north of the city. There, the battlefield had already been cleaned, but the broken siege equipment outside the city, the highly decomposed corpses, the depressions left by the shelling of the city walls, and the solidified blackness all corroborated the fierce siege battle.

Hearing the news, the main officials in the city went out of the city to greet them, Hong Xu, Lan Deng, Zhou Quanbin, Lu Ruoteng, Shen Yanqi and others, including Chen Kai, who has been closed to customers these days, and Shi Lang, who has entrusted Gaoqi Defense to Hong Xu some time ago, are also among them, only Zeng Ying is still bedridden, and it is said that his condition seems to be deteriorating.

Zeng Ying and the Zheng family had a close relationship, although the two sides were very dirty in the Longwu Dynasty, but whether it was out of personal friendship or out of justice, Zheng Chenggong still showed absolute respect for this seventy-one-year-old old pavilion who still assisted Chen Kai in guarding the city - just when he heard about his illness when he entered the city, he immediately left everyone and rushed to Zeng Ying's mansion, and even pushed back the matter of visiting his grandmother and rewarding and punishing him.

rushed to Zeng's mansion, carved beams and painted buildings, everything was the same, only those family members of the Zeng family seemed to have a little melancholy on their eyebrows. This was not a good sign, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but speed up his pace, and hurried to Zeng Ying's hospital room under the guidance of Zeng Ying's son and two disciples.

Compared to that time, Chen Kai could still say a lot of things, and he had some advice to Chen Kai, hoping that he could make greater achievements, but this time he couldn't make a sound, and even Zheng Chenggong made a special trip to do it, and he didn't know it.

During the period, I heard that Chen Daotai and Chen Houye and Uncle Hong intercepted and killed the captive master, and his condition improved for a while, but in the end, he was no match for old age and frailty, and even worsened...... Before Mr. fell into a coma, he also mentioned that he would wait for the surname of the country to come back and discuss government affairs, but unfortunately, he was ...... old man."

"The old cabinet has carried the wind and waves all his life, and this time it will be fine. I will send someone to ask for the best medicinal materials, ask a famous doctor for consultation, and I will definitely save the old cabinet. In this state affair, we still need experienced and capable ministers like the old cabinet to guide us and other juniors! ”

Zheng Chenggong said categorically, Ruan Minxi also replied with medicinal materials, famous doctors and other things, and Chen Kai had already arranged them early. But Zeng Ying's body, to put it bluntly now, is to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven, and some things are no longer what human beings can do.

After some conversation, Zheng Chenggong left an order to send someone to find him as soon as Zeng Ying woke up, and then left from Zeng's mansion instead. For this old cabinet department, in fact, he didn't pay special attention to it originally, firstly, because he was already old, and secondly, when he was in Nanjing, he saw a lot of how the Donglin Party was chaotic, and the interaction was nothing more than a face-saving thing. But this time, I heard that Zeng Ying was originally ready to be martyred by hanging, but as a result, Chen Kai returned to the city to preside over the overall situation of the war, so he immediately came out to help, and he didn't agree to it, but it finally made him see the difference between this old Donglin and other Donglin parties.

"After all, it is the heroes who rise up, and there will be people with tails."

With a heartfelt sigh, Zheng Chenggong turned to the house where his grandmother, Mrs. Huang, now lived. It was originally a mansion for Zheng Cai, and he didn't move in after he took the Zhongzuo City, but this time Chen Kai and Hong Xu sent someone to clean it up, so they invited the old lady to move in.

The news of Zheng Chenggong's return, Mrs. Huang had already learned that Zheng Chenggong rushed back at this moment, listened to the matter about Zeng Ying, and also affirmed Zheng Chenggong's disposal. In her words, at such a large age in the old cabinet of the people, he worked hard for the affairs of their Zheng family, and now he is sick in bed, and it is only right for him to rush over as soon as possible.

For his grandmother, Zheng Chenggong has always adhered to filial piety, even if he does not affirm some of the old lady's behaviors and opinions, there has never been a time of disobedience, and the last time Zheng Cai's incident was an example. This time, the old lady's understanding made him feel a lot more relieved, but as soon as such thoughts were born, his grandmother immediately gave him a good look.

"Sen'er, your third uncle died too miserably. Now that you're back, you just cut off the head of the dog surnamed Chen to pay tribute to your third uncle's spirit in the sky! ”
