Later generations commented on Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong's father and son, and most of them said that they were famous generals who resisted the Qing Dynasty, heroes who recovered Taiwan, and loyal ministers who continued the Ming Dynasty...... Zheng Chenggong was even given a national surname by Emperor Nanming and was called "the national surname"!

But in fact, in the beginning, Zheng Zhilong was essentially just a pirate.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong is not an ordinary pirate, he can be said to be the first pirate in the southeast coastal area of this era, including Taiwan and Japan!

At the same time, he was also the leader of the largest maritime and military group in East and Southeast Asia, monopolizing most of the maritime trade in these regions!

Even, he is also known as "the first ship king in the history of the world", such a title is enough to show Zheng Zhilong's strength and influence!

Under the background of the Ming Dynasty's sea ban and the flourishing of the world's sea power, Zheng Zhilong formed a naval division with the power of the people, maneuvered between the Eastern and Western forces, and successfully defeated the Western maritime forces in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay on Kinmen Island in Quanzhou, allowing the Han people to regain maritime dominance.

When Zheng Zhilong was only 20 years old, he had already become a world-famous pirate, and as his strength and influence grew, he also formed a regime in Taiwan, not only with a powerful private navy to protect himself, but also to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty to set up an official establishment in Taiwan, forming a separatist regime that began to take shape.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Zheng Zhilong, who was only twenty-three years old, led his navy to attack Quanzhou on a large scale, winning several battles and breaking the Fujian fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in the midst of internal and external troubles, and Emperor Chongzhen was unable to exterminate Zheng Zhilong, so he turned to Zhao'an.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong accepted the appeasement of the Ming court, and the official was the governor of Tongzhi and the general army of Fujian.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong's command already had 30,000 navies and thousands of sea ships, and his strength was shocking.

In the period of history that Zhao Junchen is familiar with, because of the Qing army's entry into the customs, Zheng Zhilong was trapped in the city of Beijing, although he expressed his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end it was still difficult to escape death - this is also one of the important reasons why Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, tried his best to resist the Qing Dynasty.

To a large extent, the achievements of Zheng Chenggong in later generations are precisely due to the extremely rich family foundation left by Zheng Zhilong.

But in this historical time and space, because of the stronger ability of the Chongzhen Emperor and the delay of the Xiaoice River period, the Ming Dynasty barely continued, and the Qing army was still cowering north of Shanhaiguan, so Zheng Zhilong did not die at the hands of the Qing Dynasty, he was still an overlord-level figure in the East Asian seas.

Even, in later generations, Zheng Chenggong's achievements in completely recovering Taiwan and expelling the Dutch also fell on Zheng Zhilong's head.

This is also a matter of course, in the history that Zhao Junchen is familiar with, Zheng Zhilong has occupied most of Taiwan before he was killed by the Qing Dynasty, and the number of Han immigrants in Taiwan also accounts for the absolute majority, and it is only a few steps away from completely controlling Taiwan.

It is precisely because of Zheng Zhilong's exploits in recovering Taiwan that he was also named Annanbo by Emperor Chongzhen!

This title can be hereditary, but it is much more valuable than Zhao Junchen's upcoming "Immortal New Uncle".

But through Zheng Zhilong's performance in two different histories, his character can be roughly shown.

This is a strongman, but also a hero, and he is not so loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, even after being edicted by the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong has always been in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to control the huge navy under Zheng Zhilong, and after Zheng Zhilong recovered Taiwan, the people of Taiwan only knew Zheng Zhilong and did not know the imperial court, and the appointment of officials in Taiwan was all decided by Zheng Zhilong's words!

It is precisely because of this that Li Xun said that the imperial court's attitude towards Zheng Zhilong is "prevention is greater than use", which can be described as extremely jealous.

However, what kind of significance does the fleet and navy under Zheng Zhilong represent in this era, Zhao Junchen knows best in his heart.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to survive the Xiaoice River period in the future, or even stand on the top of the world again, this force is absolutely significant.

Now, after seeing that Li Xun has some contact with Zheng Zhilong, Zhao Junchen is naturally a little moved, and wants to take the opportunity to get in touch with Zheng Zhilong and pave the way for some of his future plans.

Of course, Zhao Junchen did not think that he could control Zheng Zhilong.

You must know that although Zheng Zhilong also serves as the chief soldier of Fujian, he is completely different from the chief soldiers of Shaanxi and Gansu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is far away.

After Zheng Zhilong monopolized the maritime trade between East Asia and Southeast Asia, he was definitely making money every day, and he was even very likely to be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, he had seized Taiwan over the years, but he was only nominally subservient to the Ming Dynasty, even Emperor Deqing would not be taken by him, let alone Zhao Junchen.

Whether it is power suppression or bribery with money, it will not work for Zheng Zhilong.

Therefore, after Zhao Junchen and Zheng Zhilong got into a relationship, it was just to cooperate on an equal footing!

At least, that's what Zhao Junchen intends to do at the moment.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Junchen's mood suddenly changed, Li Xun couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know why Zhao Junchen cared so much about An Nanbo and Zheng Zhilong, a pirate-born feudal official.

You must know that after ordinary officials heard Zheng Zhilong's name, they all looked like they were talking about the tiger and changing color, which can be said to be afraid that they would avoid it, for fear that they would get involved in the relationship and be guarded against and hostile by the center of the imperial court.

But Zhao Junchen seems to be very interested in Zheng Zhilong.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Xun replied, "Lord Zhao, what the lower officials said is the Fujian Governor Tongzhi, the Fujian General Army, and Zheng Zhilong, An Nanbo. ”

Zhao Junchen changed his smile and asked "Oh?" Governor Li just said that he has some relationship with Zheng Zhilong, but I don't know what kind of relationship it is? ”

Li Xun felt more and more strange in his heart, but after seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, he still replied honestly, "Xiaguan is from Quanzhou, Fujian, and there is a distant relative named Li Dan. Xiaguan's uncle and grandfather is Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law, and Zheng Zhilong's maritime power can be regarded as inherited from Li Dan, and it has been carried forward and developed.

When Xia Guan was nineteen years old, he entered Beijing to catch the exam, originally just a try, but he didn't expect to be lucky to win the fame of the same Jinshi, ranking at the bottom of the apocot list, after receiving the news, Xia Guan was happy and frustrated, happy that he was famous on the apricot list, frustrated because he felt that he had taken the exam early, and he should study hard for a few years and try to get a better reputation, the same Jinshi at the bottom of the apricot list is too low, which will inevitably affect the future career of the lower official!

But it was also time to run, at that time, Zheng Zhilong had not accepted the imperial court's recruitment for a few years, and he still maintained the pirate style, and there were many conflicts with the center of the court, and there were even rumors that Zheng Zhilong wanted to proclaim himself king, and the emperor sent the important minister Yang Sichang to appease Zheng Zhilong in order to stabilize Zheng Zhilong, and the lower official was named by Yang Ge Lao and joined the team because he had some distant relations with Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law Li Dan.

After the lower official followed Yang Ge Lao to meet Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong treated the lower officials quite kindly because of the relationship between his father-in-law Li Dan, coupled with Yang Ge Lao's deliberate appeasement, a turmoil turned invisible, and the lower officials were also recommended by Yang Ge Lao because of this, and were soon promoted to the position of local prefect, and the starting point was much higher than that of the same department! If this were not the case, it would be impossible for the background of the following officials to be promoted to become a feudal official. ”

After listening to Li Xun's explanation, Zhao Junchen was a little disappointed in his heart, and only felt that the relationship between Li Xun and Zheng Zhilong was a little far away.

But Zhao Junchen still asked, "Oh? I didn't expect this to happen! But I don't know if Governor Li has kept in touch with Zheng Zhilong over the years? ”

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Guan can have today's status, and it can be regarded as borrowing Zheng Zhilong's east wind, plus when Xia Guan followed Yang Ge Lao to see Zheng Zhilong, he used to call Zheng Zhilong his uncle, so he has kept in touch over the years, but because the imperial court is very protective of Zheng Zhilong, Xia Guan does not dare to contact him too closely, that is, he sends some local products every year." ”

Zhao Junchen was thoughtful and asked, "Zheng Zhilong...... How old are you this year? Are you alright? ”

After Li Xun secretly calculated, he replied, "Annanbo can also be called a rare longevity in the world, the world says that people are rare in sixty years, but Annanbo is now close to eighty years old, and his body can barely hold on, but he has some ears behind his ears, and he is not energetic, and he handed over all kinds of matters in his hands to his children and grandchildren a long time ago, but his prestige is extremely high, as long as he expresses a clear attitude, no one in Fujian and the nearby waters dare to disobey." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, and at the same time, his heart was turning sharply, thinking about how he should get along with Zheng Zhilong in the future.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Junchen finally made a decision in his heart.

Then, under Li Xun's anxious gaze, Zhao Junchen said with a smile, "Governor Li's matter, it may not be that there is no turning point, after all, you have suffered on behalf of others, even if the court asks for the guilt, it should not be the only one who implicates the clan...... I'll help you with this matter, even if I can't keep you in the end, at least I can save your people. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's promise, Li Xun couldn't help but be happy and sad.

The joy is because Zhao Junchen is finally willing to help, according to Zhao Junchen, he can at least save the lives of the Li family.

Sadness is because ...... Judging by Zhao Junchen's attitude, there is a good chance that his own life cannot be saved.

Li Xun lived to be sixty-two years old, but he still felt that he had not lived enough.

But at this point, this is the best ending.

So, Li Xun got up and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, please leave everything to Lord Zhao!" ”

After Zhao Junchen nodded, he said meaningfully, "I should return to the capital soon, and when I pass through Shanxi, I will meet with Governor Li's clansmen, if there are available talents among them, I will not only save their lives, but also give them a future, which is enough to ensure that your Li family has no worries for generations!" ”

The second more.

In addition, it is now during the strict review period, after uploading a new chapter, there will be a detailed inspection in the background, and the update cannot be displayed for a long time, so the update pattern during this period will be a little unstable, forgive me.

By the way, it is precisely because of the strict investigation of the starting point that the worm will not describe Zheng Chenggong too much, but will move Zheng Zhilong out - Zheng Zhilong's experience is more legendary, but his fame is very small, so it will not cause trouble.
