Chen Hua didn't want to work for Lao Zhu's family.

The reason is very simple, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackeys are cooked, and the birds are good and the bows are hidden, in centralized China, the emperor's power is too great, and the lives of the courtiers are too insecure.

Chen Hua was unwilling to settle Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng for the Ming Dynasty, and after leveling the Tartars, he would go to the guillotine again. What's more, the energy and effort required to rescue the terminally ill Ming Dynasty will not be less than the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty and the reshaping of the world. Why did Chen Hua bother to be thankless?

"It is just as Sen'er said, when today's son remedies, turn the tide, and really rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty. Do you think that the court at that time would be able to tolerate us? ”

A thunderclap slammed into everyone's eyes.

Chen Hua's previous question also called the people present ignorant, and some people inside were still struggling to outline in their minds the shortage of money and food in the imperial court - unable to attack the Manchus externally and suppress the bandits internally - they had to raise taxes again - causing the anger of the heavens and people - so that the people were in chaos - so that the imperial court had to spend more money and food to suppress and suppress, such a vicious circle.

Now a shocking question has been thrown out - the imperial court is really prosperous, so can it still tolerate the Zheng family?

"How is that possible!" Zheng Hongkui was the first to shake his head. "Although the elder brother is peaceful Yuekou, he conquered Li, repelled the invasion of Xiaheyi, destroyed the giant thief Liu Xiang, and built miraculous feats, which have been unprecedented at sea for more than ten years. However, raising an army of 100,000 with private funds, this is the only one, and my Zheng family is a great hidden danger in the eyes of the imperial court, and it must be eliminated! ”

Zheng Hongkui's brain is much better than Zheng Zhibao, and even the dead Zheng Zhihu. After all, my Ming Dynasty's martial arts are to be examined.

He can be admitted to the martial arts exam, he is not a reckless man, the future of the Zheng family, the irresolvable contradiction between the Zheng family and the imperial court, how can Zheng Hongkui not know?

Chen Hua noticed that Zheng Sen's expression at this moment was wooden, like a child at a loss. I believe that his heart must be full of sadness at this moment, but what people need to grow is pain.

"The elder brother has an army of 100,000 troops, and he covers the southeast, and he is not a prince who is better than a prince. Once the court is prosperous, the prestige is restored, and my Zheng family will not be tolerated. Unless my brother is willing to surrender and tie himself into Beijing, I will let the Zheng family let the court fish and meat. The court saw the power of my brother and the meritorious service he had made for the Ming Dynasty over the years, so he could give me a knighthood and let my Zheng family go. ”

But that form must be man-made and I am fish, and the Zheng family is like pigs and sheep on the board, at the mercy of the court. How can this be acceptable to the Zheng Group?

Don't forget where they came from!

Sure enough, after hearing Zheng Hongkui's words, everyone present was embarrassed.

The Zheng family is their leader, and the leaders have all been killed to eat meat, so can the rest of the people be good?

Even Zheng Sen's expression also struggled, no matter how loyal and patriotic he was, he couldn't change the fact that he was a member of the Zheng family, right?

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united. After the chaos, there is great governance, this eternal truth. Chen Hua continued the topic and said.

"Whether it is the rise of the Ming Dynasty or the establishment of the new dynasty, we are all thorns in the emperor's eyes, such as Han Zhiyingbu and Peng Yue, and the future is uncertain. The sharp blade hung in front of my neck, and I couldn't sit still in private. ”

Chen Hua's eyes swept over everyone present, the question he was talking about now was something that Zheng Zhilong had never described publicly over the years, that is, he had never muttered to Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui. Zheng Zhilong has always been respectful to the high-ranking officials in Beijing and Fujian over the years.

In order to get the position of the chief military officer of Fujian last year, he sent people to bring generous gifts and treasures into Beijing, and first bribed his own powerful gentry, such as Jiang Dejing, the elder of the cabinet who was originally from Jinjiang, and Ding Qijun, who was also from Jinjiang, and then sent it to the same cabinet, so he got his wish. It can be seen that he still recognizes the authority of the Ming court.

And the Ming Dynasty was trapped in the Tartars and the Liukou, and it was being disturbed, and it was impossible to "focus" on the Zheng family. As long as the latter showed tameness, the central court was selectively blind and could not be seen at all.

Zheng Zhilong really has never tried to go north to the Central Plains and compete for world domination, which Chen Hua can feel not only from the cognition of his previous life, but also from the memories left by this body.

Zheng Zhilong didn't even think about stretching out his minions to the wealthy Jiangnan, a stroke of 'otaku' attribute steel!

However, no matter how 'respectful' he is to the central authorities, the fact that he has an army of more than 100,000 cannot be erased. What's especially powerful is that these ships don't cost the imperial court a penny or food.

Today's remarks completely unraveled the cover on his face and revealed the sinister inside, which scared everyone present into a cold sweat.

Because they found that their own interests were contrary to the interests of the imperial court, and this was still an unsolvable contradiction!

Chen Hua deliberately paid attention to Zheng Sen's expression, and the latter's face was no longer struggling, but full of depression. Is this a recognition of the irreconcilable contradiction between his family and the Zhu Ming court?

"After all, it's a reader." Let Chen Hua secretly enjoy it!

I'm struck, boy, but that's the reality.

Chen Hua believes that Zheng Sen is not a fool and looks at history. When Emperor Longwu was in power, I didn't see him have a lot of trouble with his father, who controlled the government and controlled the government for the sake of 'loyalty to the monarch', and Emperor Longwu was like a puppet? That is, Zheng Zhilong was later confused by the promise of his fellow countryman Hong Chengchou [all from Jinjiang, Quanzhou] [Manchu Dynasty King], and insisted on going his own way, and devoted himself to the Manchu Dynasty, in order to keep the huge family business and increase the official rank.

Only then did the father and son completely part ways!

Chen Hua attaches great importance to Zheng Chenggong, but history has proved that he is a material for leading troops.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong is not the famous general who has won a hundred battles, and in terms of military talent alone, he is far worse than Li Dingguo, who is a famous king of the two Turks. But if it doesn't work out, it's better than Chen Hua himself, right?

Although Chen Hua has the memory of Zheng Zhilong, watched a big personal biography movie, and is no stranger to war, this does not mean that he is really comparable to Zheng Zhilong.

That's like an ordinary person after having a mother, you can search for the information you need at will, and then go to PK with experts and professors! Is that okay?

The latter is no more water, and it won't cost water as well, right?

It's the same thing with wars. With Zheng Zhilong's memory, Chen Hua was not confident that he would be able to play the war. He was a little grassroots a few days ago.

If so, Zheng Chenggong will still be of great use to Chen Hua in the future.

Chen Hua now has a feeling that Zheng Chenggong is used as an 'insurance', and sees him as an existence in the army that can act on the Zheng group as an "extension of his will".

The atmosphere in the council chamber was silent, and everyone's hearts were in chaos. Everybody realizes that no, no, no, no.

Chen Hua didn't let the atmosphere go down like this, cleared his throat, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. "Now we only have three ways out, one is to surrender, people are swords, I am fish and meat." This method obviously can't be approved by the people below.

Too negative. Not to mention the generals of the Zheng clan who were born as pirates, even Zheng Sen felt that it was not feasible.

"Big brother, don't underestimate the brothers. We waited for countless warships and a lot of guns, but we didn't use them for rice. Zheng Zhibao immediately shouted.

Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises. All the people here, except for Zheng Sen, are counted as one, all of them are men who have come out of the stormy waves, who is willing to be captured?

Chen Hua smiled, he had expected such words. Continue to say: "The second is to reorganize the soldiers and horses, expand the military strength, first enter the south of the Yangtze River, sweep the south of the country, get half of the country, and then go north to the Central Plains to compete with the enemy." ”

This made the atmosphere in the council hall even more depressing, as if it had been shrouded in layers of dark clouds. Reckless, such as Zheng Zhibao, he opened his mouth wide and did not speak.

Zheng Sen opened his mouth wide, he wanted to say but couldn't say it, and the others didn't say a word. This is a deed of raiding the family and exterminating the clan. Once defeated, there will be no place for them on land. And the combat effectiveness of the Zheng family's army, don't all the people here know it.

"One last resort!"

Like an angry sea, a wave of offensive that beats a wave can best make people remember and shock people the most. Chen Hua would not let them calm down, and then revealed his true intentions.

As if he had been pricked by a needle, Zheng Sen suddenly became smart, raised his head and looked straight at Chen Hua. What is the third of the three paths? He's in a daze. Zheng Sen, who had never thought of 'going away' overseas to establish himself as a king, couldn't think of this third way anyway!

Chen Hua had already said again, "Do you still remember Brother Yan Siqi Yan?" ”

There was silence in the hall, and when Chen Hua mentioned Yan Siqi, these people all understood what he meant.

"Big brother is going overseas?" Zheng Hongkui was shocked.

How much money have the Zheng brothers invested in Anping over the years? As soon as you go overseas, it's all in vain.

"Overseas is not a wild place. Our brothers are all men who came out of the wind and waves, and we know how much wealth there is in the sea. What's more, the big man is only a stone's throw away from Fujian and Guangdong, and it is only half a moon to rush to Manila with a smooth ride here. How long does it take to travel from Fuzhou to Nanchang by land? ”
