Chapter 616: Just want to talk about some cooperation
The shouts from the other side clearly came into his ears, Zheng Zhilong's face was full of defeat, he knew that he was in a catastrophe.
"General, you escaped alone, and I, the Japanese Guard, would like to buy you time with all the jade shatters." Jintaro gritted his teeth and said, in fact, he also knew that the chances were slim, and the enemy's guns were too accurate.
"Don't make any more senseless sacrifices for me." Jintaro's loyalty made Zheng Zhilong pleased: "Surrender, maybe there is still a little chance to surrender." ”
"General!" Shintaro still needs to be persuaded again.
"Say no more!" Zheng Zhilong stopped.
I don't know whose white underwear was picked up by a tree branch and swayed back and forth. It's not white underwear, it's actually the devil's crotch cloth, which is one of the devil's signature clothing.
There is a saying in World War II that if you judge whether a prisoner is Japanese or not, you will take off his pants, and if it is a crotch cloth, there is no doubt that it is Japanese, because one of the standard uniforms of the Japanese Army is a military jacket.
The capture of Zheng Zhilong marked the temporary end of the Tiance Army's Xiamen raid, and the reason why it was said temporary was because the military operation should end here, and the future will focus on political settlement.
"Sin General Zheng Zhilong, meet Lord Wang Shaobao!"
Zheng Zhilong was brought to Wang Yue and bowed down.
"General Feihuang, we finally met, are you guilty?" Wang Yue said.
Zheng Zhilong said: "Guilty! Convicted! ”
Wang Yue asked, "What are the sins?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Collusion with Xiyi, plot against the Tiance Army!" Zheng Zhilong said.
Wang Yue looked at Zheng Zhilong for a while, saw that he didn't say anything, and said, "That's all?" ”
"Ugh." Zheng Zhilong was stunned and said, "That's all, Lord Shaobao." ”
He said in his heart: Isn't it because I offended you that I brought such a big disaster to myself?
"Hmph." Wang Yue said: "You don't obey the control of the imperial court, expand the army without authorization, and the mercenaries are self-respecting. You, a coastal defense guerrilla general, have nearly 200,000 troops and dominate the whole of Fujian. Not only that, but the imperial court has been banned from the sea for many years, but you have repeatedly violated the ban, owned 3,000 sea ships, killed people and crossed goods at sea, and started a business of collecting protection money, isn't it a great crime? ”
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong blinked his eyes and said in his heart: This is really a crime that you want to add, why don't you talk about the second child with your boss? You've gone too far ahead of me.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and this Lord Wang seems to want his own life. Zheng Zhilong said sadly: "Zhilong's crime deserves death, there is nothing to say, this is all my fault, I will bear it alone, I hope that Lord Shaobao will not sin others." ”
Since this Lord Wang wants to kill himself, he simply wants to be single.
"This official ordered you to go to Taiwan for a meeting, but you have organized your army and actively prepared for war, and you refused to see you." Wang Yue smiled and said, "Do you really think I'm going to kill you?" ”
Zheng Zhilong was stunned, could it be that he had repeatedly opposed Wang Yue, and he could still let me go?
"This official originally wanted to talk to you about cooperation, but now it's like this, it's all caused by you." Wang Yue said leisurely.
"Ahh Please forgive me, it is Zhilong's stupidity that caused such a situation, Zhilong is willing to compensate for all the losses of the adult, and I can accept the cooperation conditions proposed by the adult. Things suddenly took a turn for the better, and Zheng Zhilong immediately hit the snake with the stick.
"Hmm!" Wang Yue nodded and said, "You may not know, your brother Zheng Zhibao died in the battle with our army. ”
"What?" Zheng Zhilong's heart ached, since the second brother Zheng Zhihu died in the naval battle with Liu Xiang, the third brother Zheng Zhibao is his closest brother, but what else can he say now, it is difficult to protect himself: "This is his life, no wonder the Lord Shaobao, it is inevitable that the two armies will fight for death and injury." ”
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Well, it's good that you know." Then he ordered: "Come on, untie General Zheng Zhilong!" ”
In fact, it is not loose, Zheng Zhilong is just wearing handcuffs.
Zheng Zhilong rubbed his sore wrist, a little incredulous: "My lord, who are you?" ”
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Look! Now we can talk about cooperation. ”
The main purpose of the beating just now was to let Zheng Zhilong understand his situation and recognize the situation. Downplay the hatred born of Zheng Zhibao's death.
I didn't expect it to be so vigorous, this young man just wanted to talk to himself about cooperation. Thinking about his losses, Zheng Zhilong really wanted to slap himself twice.
"Thank you Shaobao for not killing." Zheng Zhilong sat down carefully with him. He doesn't know Wang Yue, who knows if this is a trick of a cat playing with a mouse.
Wang Yue knocked on the table and said, "First of all, from now on, the Zheng family is no longer allowed to collect protection fees from the sea. In the coastal areas of Daming and Nanyang, we will set up customs in various places to collect customs duties. ”
This is already very clear, the starting point city will replace the Zheng family's protection fee with customs duties.
"Obey Wang Shaobao's words." Zheng Zhilong arched his hand and waited for Wang Yue to continue. Now that the Zheng family has retreated to the coast near Fujian and Guangdong, the protection fee has already been reduced by eight or nine percent, and it is about to exist in name only.
Wang Yue continued: "In Xiamen and Quanzhou, Fujian, I will enter the starting city and work with General Zheng to build the two places. ”
This war with the Zheng family played a role in beating the Zheng family. The Zheng family is the soil emperor of Fujian, with deep roots and dense branches, if the Zheng family is to be completely solved, unless the Tiance army completely occupies the entire Fujian, this is in conflict with the current strategy of the Tiance army.
Therefore, Wang Yue took this war as an opportunity to enter Fujian and expand the influence of the starting point city. With the strength of the Tiance army, Fujian has only one way to make a peaceful transition.
"Zhilong welcomes Lord Shaobao to come here to guide the work." Zheng Zhilong knew that it would be difficult for him to prevent Wang Yue's forces from entering Fujian, and the Tiance Army was too strong for anyone to stop.
Wang Yue continued: "The Zheng family's army has also played a role in protecting the territory and the people over the years, and the imperial court has not said anything about your army expansion, and this official allows you to keep the army. ”
This was too surprising to Zheng Zhilong, and he thought that Wang Yue would directly swallow Zheng Jiajun with him as a hostage, and he said in surprise: "Zhilong Xie Shaobao is magnanimous. "The army is the foundation of his life.
Wang Yue said slowly: "According to this official's knowledge, although your Zheng Jiajun is better than other officials and soldiers, there are still many problems. Therefore, this officer has decided to send the strength of a battalion from the Tiance Army to help guide the military appearance and military discipline of your Zheng Family's army, and the standard will be implemented according to the standard of our Tiance Army. ”
"Huh? This....... Zheng Zhilong was dumbfounded, if this continues, will Zheng Jiajun still have the final say in the future?
Wang Yue sank his face and said, "What? Does General Feihuang have objections? ”
"No, no, Zhilong welcomes the guidance of the Tiance Army." Zheng Zhilong hurriedly said.
