Chapter Twenty-Six: To Each His Heart

When Zhang Xuan saw Hu Tang like this, he knew in his heart that he wanted to be wrong, and said: "Xijing will go to Chongqing in the near future, although Mr. Hu is the governor of Sichuan, he probably has to serve in the army. ”

When Hu Tang heard this, he was excited, and saluted Zhang Xuan: "Hu, thank you for the general's promotion." In the future, only the general will give an order, and Hu will not be too late to die. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "You don't need to thank me, this is the will of the imperial court." ”

Hu Tang said: "Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

This is called a protΓ©gΓ©. Zhang Xuan knew that he really hadn't exerted much strength in this matter. It's that Great Xia lacks this kind of all-round talent. The talents from the Jiangnan family, let them be peace officials. If they were to be officials on the border, in a place where they were in direct confrontation with the enemy, they would be grateful for it.

Some people who want to fight for fame and fortune dare to do it. But the imperial court was not too trusting.

And Hu Tang has already proven himself in Zhang Xuanjun. If you have the ability to have a wrist, you naturally have to reuse it.

The governor of Sichuan is in his hands, and he can do it in ten places.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hu." Luo Dai also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Before I came, I was worried that Mr. Hu would be implicated by me. ”

Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "Luo Dai, you also know the word 'implicated'. ”

As soon as Luo Dai heard Zhang Xuan's voice, he knew that this was not good, and sure enough, Zhang Xuan's thunderous rainstorm came. said: "Before I told you, to listen to Mr. Hu's moderation, how did you do it?" Did Mr. Hu agree to the war? ”

"If you go into battle without authorization and disobey military orders, how many heads can you cut off?"

"Fortunately, you didn't kill Zheng Cai, otherwise your head would not have been yours a long time ago."

"Mr. Hu, it was all because of you that we ended up today. You're proud, aren't you? ”

"You continue to be proud, Guangdong doesn't need you anymore."

Luo Dai was taken aback and said, "General, will you let me go back to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Xuan said lightly: "What do you think? ”

Luo Dai was suddenly anxious.

He could accept the punishment of demotion, but he couldn't accept going back to live idle. Luo Dai immediately said: "General, general, you just spare me this time, you see I know the severity, when I rushed into battle that day, I slashed all with the back of the knife, and I didn't kill a few people at all, but I just drove them away, and I didn't have any blood to drive them away, really." Yes, some people are trampled to death at once, but there are not many. And I know the light and heavy, what Zheng Cai is. There's no death, is there? My men showed mercy. ”

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly, almost laughing angrily.

Didn't he bully Zhang Xuan go to battle? When charging on horseback, all horsepower is used, and there is no difference at all between using a blade or the back of a knife.

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, I didn't let you go back to Beijing, Nanjing, Wang Lung wanted to attack Chongqing Zeng Ying and transferred you over." After you go, take good care of yourself, and you're a general. Don't be reckless. If something like this happens again, there's no one to carry it around for you. ”

Luo Dai breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Zhang Xuan appeased Hu Tang and Luo Dai.

Zheng Zhilong also met Zheng Chenggong in Shaozhou City at this moment.

With the strength of the Zheng family on the water, it is still very easy to send someone to Shaozhou without knowing it.

When Zheng Zhilong saw Zheng Chenggong, he didn't get angry, and said lightly: "You shouldn't come." You wait in Guangzhou, and you will naturally see me. ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "The child can't help it. ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "You can't help but endure it, no matter how big the matter, you can't hold your breath, how to bear the big things in the future." ”

Zheng Chenggong took a deep breath and said, "The child knows that he is wrong. It's just a matter of Chaozhou, how is my father statute? ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "The charter has been decided. Luo Dai and Hu Tang were both transferred to Xijing, and my Zheng family withdrew from Guangdong, including the water division. ”

Zheng Chenggong held his hand tightly, his muscles and bones sounded, and said, "Isn't this bullying?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "That's it." But this thing is very common. It's like that's how people aren't as good as people. Oki, you have been my son since you were a child, except for the few years when you were young in Japan, no one gave you a little face, because of me. But when your father was young, he didn't have a good father. ”

"I do a lot of things like dogs. Be a dog for the Yan family, a dog for the government, a dog for Xiong Wencan, and a dog for the Luo family. ”

"There are many grievances. Everything is like you, and you can't hold your breath. I don't have the big husband who can bend and stretch today. You are not a child anymore, everyone has to obey you. ”

Zheng Chenggong seems to have suddenly returned to his youth, those long-faded memories, and found a little memory.

In fact, Zheng Chenggong's childhood was not very good. At that time, Zheng Zhilong was not as majestic as it is now, and fostered Zheng Chenggong in her mother Tian Chuan's house. At that time, Zheng Chenggong was not much valued, and he was also discriminated against by Japanese children.

Of course, with Zheng Zhilong's career growing bigger and bigger. Zheng Chenggong's salary is also getting higher and higher.

Zheng Chenggong almost forgot the unpleasant energy of many years ago. At this moment, he recalled the situation again, and a dissatisfaction grew in his heart.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Da Mu, hold on to the shortage. Daxia is not thin on my family. My family is already the king of Daxia with a different surname. It is also a pole among the nobles. My Zheng family has reached the point of defending the city to my point, and this Your Majesty is not a good lord to serve. Today, my Zheng family, it is better to do more than less. It's better to do less than not to do it. The so-called high merit covers the master. is what my Zheng family looks like, so my Zheng family's strategy in the future is to make a fortune in silence, and suffering losses is a blessing. ”

"You probably complain that I don't give you support, and the Zheng family has hindered you in all aspects. In fact, you haven't thought about it, it's not Zheng Cai who doesn't want to attack Guangdong, but me. I just wanted to be like it, but I didn't think that my son was like me. ”

"As soon as you make a move, you will sweep the South China Sea.

As soon as he mentioned the South China Sea, Zheng Chenggong was angry and said: "Dad, the South China Sea is related to the income of millions of silver. ”

Different places, in the eyes of different people.

There is a different value.

The South China Sea is in Zhang Xuan's hands, and the opening of the sea or something will only have hundreds of thousands of taels of income, but the Zheng family is directly involved in all aspects of maritime trade, and the income that can be harvested is far more than Zhang Xuan.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Da Mu, is my family still missing that one million taels?" Remember what I said, and keep the good and the bad. ”

Zheng Chenggong was unashamed, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong are completely different ideas, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Zheng Zhilong has experienced strong winds and waves, and from a sea-runner, he has developed the Zheng family into one of the nobles of Great Xia, the prince. It's already something that Zheng Zhilong hadn't thought about before.

So for Zheng Zhilong, what he thinks about now is just keeping it. Passing on this inheritance. That's it.

But Zheng Chenggong is different.

Zheng Chenggong's heart has never been cut off, especially after being around Luo Rucai for a period of time and coming into contact with the top secrets of Great Xia, which greatly broadened Zheng Chenggong's horizons.

Arguably. If before, Zheng Chenggong wanted to make contributions, but he didn't know where to start, the days by Luo Rucai's side gave Zheng Chenggong a goal, that is, to be a major general for a country, lead the whole country's army, and defeat the enemy army, just like Zhang Xuan.

He didn't want to be like Zheng Zhilong, holding the mind of a person who eats and waits for death.

But Zheng Chenggong relied on his father's majesty, but he couldn't say it directly. I can only endure it for life.

Zheng Zhilong said: "Jing'er, you are four years old this year, right? ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "Exactly. Zheng Chenggong didn't know why Zheng Zhilong asked this. But he still replied respectfully.

Zheng Zhilong said: "I told Jing'er about a family matter. ”

Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but say: "Which family did my father say for Jing'er?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "You are also familiar with it, it is the eldest daughter of the Zheng Guo Mansion. ”

Zheng Chenggong suddenly frowned and said, "Zhang Xuan's daughter, isn't his eldest daughter a concubine?" How can I be worthy of my sister-in-law? ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "Your Majesty named her the county lord, which is worthy of Jing'er." You make a Great Xia horse, and it's not bad to let Jing'er be a Great Xia horse. ”
