"Drive, drive......"

A group of horse troops flew in, crossed the bridge over the canal, and reached the city of Jinmen.

"The child has seen his father." Zheng Sen stepped forward to catch Zheng Zhilong's horsewhip, and grabbed the black tiger under Zheng Zhilong's crotch with one hand.

Dressed in black and shiny fur like brocade, this horse is a heavenly horse, a special gift from Fujian maritime merchants to Zheng Zhilong, and he loves it very much.

In addition, this horse has a big temper, not only does it have to monopolize a trough, but even other horses in a stable have been bitten by it, so Zheng Zhilong gave it such a name.

"Zhongbao Gong is not harmed." Zheng Zhilong hugged Jiang Dejing in front of the door. With Chen Yan's defection, Jiang Dejing was reappointed as a cabinet scholar.

And Emperor Chongzhen's impression of Wei Zaode was not very good, because as people settled in Jinmen and had a place to live, the officials who accompanied him became moths again. Some people have already impeached Wei Zaode, saying that he is a corpse and has done nothing. It is of no use to the country, but hinders the transfer of troops to the king, so that the Beijing division is lost, and the world is shaken.

Wei Zaode has already said that he is not sick.

And what about Shoufu Zhou Yanru? It was the true god who was flustered, suffered from the cold, and is now bedridden.

Therefore, Jiang Dejing, a new member of the cabinet, has become the boss of the cabinet, simply put, he is the head of the ministers before Emperor Chongzhen's reign.

"If it weren't for Annanbo's defeat against the enemy, how could the old man live here in peace. Annanbo was worshiped by the old man......"

"Hugh is to hide. This worship is not only for the old man, but also for the hundreds of officials and relatives in the city, but also for His Majesty's crown prince, and more importantly, for the world. ”

In front of the city gate, Jiang Dejing's words raised Zheng Zhilong so high.

"This is the duty of a courtier, how dare Zheng take credit?"

After a lot of politeness, Zheng Zhilong and Jiang Dejing joined hands in the city.

"Zhongbao Gong is the leader of the ministers, the person favored by His Majesty, dare to ask, what Zheng asked for, this time he may get his wish?"

"Isn't Annan Bermo too eager? This incident, the Northland artifact changed hands, the world was shaking, and the wind and clouds were moving, it was a good opportunity for a character like Uncle to show his skills, how could he ...... single-mindedly"

Jiang Dejing looked at Zheng Zhilong tightly, not sure if Zheng Zhilong was testing or sincere.

"Zhong Baogong is a scholar, don't you know the truth of high merit? I, Zheng Yiguan, don't want to risk my own life to try my mind today. So, it's better to get out in time. Zheng Zhilong said calmly, because he knew that what he said would eventually reach Emperor Chongzhen's ears.

"Zheng will not go to the Jinling court to stand on duty, let alone gain power in the court and get involved in court affairs. Although he will still contain Li Thief in the dangerous places along the coast of Juehua Island, Jinmen, and Qilu, he told Zhong Baogong the truth that the main force of my naval division is ready to go south. The land of the South Seas is not stable, and my heart is also restless. ”

Jiang Dejing's mouth opened uncontrollably, and he suspected that he was old and deaf and misheard Zheng Zhilong. Under such a situation, Zheng Zhilong is not ready to go to Jinling?

"Is that true?"

"Of course it's true, it's Zhilong's heartfelt words."

What the next situation is, Zheng Zhilong can't see it clearly, so he doesn't want to rush in.

Only one bridgehead will be kept on the coast of the Northland, so as to provide ease for the future intervention in the Northland.

And for Jinling, he is discouraged.

"The rapid retreat is a good idea. Annanbo was not a mortal. Jiang Dejing's eyes were full of admiration. You must know that one of the major reasons for Emperor Chongzhen's troubles in the past two days is how to settle Zheng Zhilong in the future.

His strength is already very strong, and his name is already very big. That is the placement of Wenchen is not, and the placement of military generals is not successful, and Emperor Chongzhen is troubled.

Now, however, all problems have been solved.

"Haha, don't be happy with Zhongbao Gong first. Although Zheng is reluctant to enter the DPRK, it does not mean that I will completely withdraw from the mainland. Don't say anything else, just talk about Quanzhou Mansion, whether it is military or political, I will be in charge. ”

Jiang Dejing understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, he just wanted to ask Emperor Chongzhen for a reward, and then cut off Quanzhou Mansion as his own land.

"That's what he said?" With an irrepressible excitement on his face, Emperor Chongzhen consciously felt that his chest was about to explode with joy now.

Unexpectedly, never expected, what Zheng Zhilong asked for was so cheap.

What is the reward, just Zheng Zhilong's rescue work, it is not bad to give it to a national prince. And Quanzhou, just a mansion, he was worried that Zheng Zhilong was going to his province before.

"Your Majesty, there are also the ...... of the Dinghai, Haitan, and Nanao Places"

The islands that Zheng Zhilong wants are not simple, once he controls them, the entire southeast coast will be controlled by him.

"Give it to him. It's just a few islands. "Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care.

"But although these islands are not big, they are all located at key points, and once they are grasped, they will have thousands of miles of sea frontiers in the southeast and southeast in their hands. It can be used as a place for private trade. Relying on maritime trade, although its people are not in Jiangnan, their influence is everywhere......"

"So what?" Emperor Chongzhen felt that he thought very clearly, "What is the top priority of the imperial court?" It is to form land and water to defend the Jianghuai Lake. What is the use of those islands that are still in the hands of the imperial court? What if you can appease the Zheng family, but give it all away? ”

"Or do you think that the imperial court can restrict private trade by holding these islands?"

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to learn from the former Song Dynasty to play the ship division, but he had the heart but was powerless. When the imperial court first arrived in Jiangnan, it was the time when the gentry from other places came, how could the ship division start?

The eyebrows are burning in front of this eye, who cares if they step into the ditch with their hind feet?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knows the pros and cons of this, and in the long run, it is very unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty. But the danger he faces now is not at sea. appeased the Zheng family is the first.

Without Zheng Zhilong mixing in the court, it is equivalent to removing a mountain from the shoulders of Emperor Chongzhen.

As for the islands, in the long run, let's get past the current predicament. In the future, Nanming will really have the strength to run his own sea boatman, and it will not be too late to think about how to return the island from the Zheng family.

"Your Majesty's love really makes the ministers grateful."

Zheng Zhilong didn't think that Emperor Chongzhen was so easy to talk to, was it because Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that he would fall into the water and drown on the way to Jinling by boat? is like King Xiao Ming, who was taken to Jinling by Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

It's really possible.

After all, Zheng Zhilong has the final say on this sea, and Shen Tingyang's sand boat gang is not weak even if it looks at its strength, but compared to Zheng's sailors, they are all little brothers.

And the relationship between Shen Tingyang and Zheng Zhilong is also very good.

"How could my father allow him so easily......" Zhu Cihong looked at his father in confusion. Although the islands are not big, he has already looked at the map, as Jiang Dejing said, the location is really critical.

There is also Quanzhou, and even the Marquis of Annan.

Emperor Chongzhen actually responded in one bite, which simply broke Zhu Cihong's perception of his father in his heart.

Queen Zhou was sitting on the side, and when she heard the words, she also put down the tea cup in her hand, and she was also puzzled in her heart. It's just that she never asks about political affairs.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at his fifteen-year-old son, and his face was puzzled at the moment, and he couldn't wait to slap his son away. With this kid's brain, Li Banghua still wants to serve the prince to the south and leave me in the northern capital to die, which is really laughing off people's big teeth.

"It's a childish too. Don't forget the story of Deqinghou? ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say it too clearly, but Zhu Cihong's academic performance was still good, and when he heard Deqinghou, he immediately thought of Liao Yongzhong. Referring to the current scene, the name of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Korea, Korea......"

"Father, Zheng Zhilong has always been loyal and brave, and the survival of this society depends on his merits. And that's not all? ”

Emperor Chongzhen only glanced at his son angrily, "What a child." ”

When will man's desires be filled? The marquis wants to be a prince, the prince wants to be a king, the king wants to be an emperor, there are many bold things, bold and reckless people, there are many people in this world.

"Let me ask you, in the surging seaway, if the ship really sinks, only one of you, my father and son, and even your brother, will survive, and will Zheng Zhilong be enthroned in Jinling and be crowned emperor, will the world recognize it?"

Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that even I became me.

"When the time comes, Zheng Zhilong will rely on the elite soldiers in his hands, lean towards the government and the opposition, and be a living Cao Cao, what should he do?"

After experiencing the previous difficulties, Emperor Chongzhen understood a sentence: The Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of yes? The strong soldiers and strong horses are for it.

If you want to be a real emperor, instead of being fooled by ministers and ignored by your generals, you must have soldiers in your hands.

Emperor Chongzhen is most emotional now that he still has silver in his hand, and when he arrives in Jiangnan, Zheng Zhilong is no longer there, with silver, he can quickly pull up a decent soldier and horse. When the time came, he was the first to order the armies to exterminate Liu Zeqing.

……

As one of the four towns of Nanming in history, today's Liu Zeqing is far from the scenery of the same period in history.

Shi Kefa made Liu Zhaoji lead the army to block Liu Zeqing's way south, and Hong Chengchou also went south, giving up Guide to Xu Dingguo. The remnants of Hong Chengchou's defeated army are not as good as the 100,000 Dashun army, but they are not afraid of Liu Zeqing.

Coupled with Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degongjun in Fengyang, as well as Gao Jie in Xuzhou, Liu Liangzuo's life is not easy.

Several soldiers and horses did not start a war against it, but everyone knew that this guy's impression in Emperor Chongzhen's heart was definitely very bad, and it was difficult to guarantee that Emperor Chongzhen would not settle accounts after the autumn, so several soldiers and horses had a tacit understanding to sandwich Liu Zeqing at the junction of Huaibei and Lunan, which was almost the days of Xiao Yuan's camp.

Liu Zeqing is now looking forward to the southward movement of the new dynasty army all the time, and his letter of surrender has been sent through Kong Yinzhi's hands for many days.

But what disappointed him was that Li Zicheng's main force didn't even say that it went south, and even the Dashun army in Qilu did not move in the slightest.

Li Zicheng is still waiting for a good day and an auspicious day to ascend the throne and become emperor, where can he care about Liu Zeqing?
