On Kinmen Island, although there is a lack of materials, but there are a lot of game, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, seafood, fish and shrimp, these natural things are everything, Zheng Cai's banquet, is the game and seafood banquet, for Zhang Mingzhen, can eat such a thing, but also feel novel, there are few such opportunities in Beijing, the wine is this time Zhang Mingzhen transported, more than a dozen sea ships, in addition to silver, grain, is cloth, wine, weapons and other things.

In addition to Zheng Cai's son Zheng Gang, there are also his brothers, nephews and generals, such as his brother Zheng Lian, Zheng Tai, Huang Zhao, Zheng Mingjun and other figures, for Zhang Mingzhen They come to take power, these people are not very welcome, in his impression, there is no loyalty and patriotism, they are because of Zheng Cai's favor to them, so they are here to work hard, the emperor is supreme, they can't reach, and Zheng Cai is their backbone, Zheng Cai will be far away, that is, I don't believe in Zheng Cai, So they don't feel very comfortable in their hearts.

"The emperor's grace, reward me with all the soldiers of the Kinmen Navy, this is the emperor's grace, we should be grateful and loyal, and serve the emperor! The emperor sent General Zhang to replace me, for my Kinmen Sailor, that is a kind of luck, General Zhang is a military general's family, the general's confidant, the important minister of the court, came here, why, not that the court does not believe in my Kinmen Sailor soldiers, but sympathize with the hard work of my Kinmen Sailor soldiers, I Zheng Cai is less from the army, and I know some things about the war, but the governance side is not my strength, the general will send General Zheng to replace me in charge, and the Kinmen Sailor is adjacent to Taiwan, and also needs an important minister to contact them, General Zhang is the most suitable, this is the general's compassion for my Kinmen sailors, from now on, you must respect General Zheng, sincerely serve him as a superior, if anyone plays ruthless to me, don't blame me Zheng Cai for being ruthless! ”

"Obey military orders!" Everyone was in awe, replied to Zheng Cai, and saluted Zhang Mingzhen.

Zhang Mingzhen is not a character who is with the mud, and he also stood up with a gentle smile at the moment, and said kindly: "I don't understand the things of the war, but one person is weak, and the people are powerful, and I need all the soldiers to serve with me, as for other things, it is naturally incumbent on you to make meritorious contributions, and the rewards you deserve, I will try my best to fight for you in the court, and there is a future, you serve the field, and you also want a shadow wife and a cute son, and the general will also play for you, as long as you serve the country, These emperors and generals will not be stingy. ”

"Thank you, General Zhang", everyone also toasted Zhang Mingzhen one after another.

Zheng Cai also continued at the moment: "The emperor's reward, General Zhang will be issued to the soldiers of the three armies tomorrow according to the head, the emperor's reward is taken, but we have no size, don't you feel ashamed?" In the future, everyone must serve the country well, don't embarrass me Zheng Cai, and don't say that it is my soldier when it is passed on. ”

Late at night, the banquet and the end, Zheng Cai called his son Zheng Gang and several brothers and nephews to his study, Zheng Gang is twenty years old, he has followed Zheng Cai to fight in the south and the north since he was a child, and he is also familiar with military affairs, plus Zheng Cai's wife is also a lady of everyone, Zheng Gang can be regarded as both civil and military, but his qualifications are limited, and Zheng Cai also knows that this son can't do his own thing.

"Gang'er, what do you mean that your father wants to send you to the capital to study at the Royal Military Academy?"

When Zheng Gang heard his father say this, he was also very surprised at the moment, and hurriedly replied: "Father, the child wants to stay with his father, he doesn't want to go to the capital, his father will be transferred north in a few days, and the child still wants to follow his father to make contributions?" ”

Zheng Cai shook his head, sighed in his heart, and said patiently: "Make a contribution, you!" Why don't you know the hard work of your father, do you think your father is really as comfortable as you see, Kinmen Island, you can't talk about a corner of the world, how much future can you have, for those soldiers under your father, do you think you have the ability to control them? Kinmen Island is not our home, you are still young, the future is still long, for your father to send you to the capital, just for the sake of your future, entered the Royal Academy, that is the emperor's people, different from those of us who climbed up step by step from soldiers......"

Zheng Gang also listened carefully to his father's teachings, and the most satisfying thing about him was that Zheng Cai was obedient, although it was difficult to hear that he would be called unassertive, but this would not cause any major incidents, as long as he was careful about doing things, he would not go wrong, which was not an advantage.

"The child understands that everything is up to the father!" Under Zheng Cai's patient explanation, Zheng Gang also understood Zheng Cai's hard work and was willing to go to the capital to be taught.

"Brothers and nephews, this is a troubled time, do everything in a low-key manner, don't be arrogant, be a man with your tail between your legs, people who are too showy will not have a good ending after all, Zhang Mingzhen is a close confidant of the general, the past of the Zheng family is long gone, don't play the same trick on me again, otherwise you will harm others and yourself, and something will happen when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you today, you have to remember that the golden mean is the way of the wise, understand?"

"Understood, when is the general going?"

"Let's go in three days, go to my hometown tomorrow, accompany my family, prepare some things for Gang'er, go to the capital, no matter what, you are my Zheng Cai's son, you can't be too shabby, I don't know how long it will take to come back, he has to learn to take care of himself, I will send someone to escort him, in short, you have to give me a name, after I leave, don't do those illegal and taboo things, otherwise I won't be able to eat and walk around, I don't want you to be rich, I just hope you can be safe, I am satisfied."

"Yes!" After listening to Zheng Cai's several admonitions, everyone also left the study, Zheng Cai was tired of lying on the Taishi chair, and he also felt very hard, he followed Zheng Zhilong to the sea to do business when he was in his twenties, at that time they were weak, Zheng Cai climbed up step by step from hundreds of households, thousands of generals, garrisons, generals, and general soldiers, and now and for 20 years, he knows the bad rules in the officialdom, and he can only pin his son, hoping that he can mix up a famous hall, and he will be comforted by his old age, and he can also be buried in his hometown of Quanzhou after his death, If future generations respect and sacrifice, there will be no regrets!

For three days, Zhang Mingzhen was busy handing out silver, and it was rare to be lively on Kinmen Island, Zheng Gang also left with Zheng Cai three days later, and Zhang Mingzhen was in charge of Kinmen Town.

At the same time, there are also several important figures of the Zheng family, who have also been transferred, Yaomen went to the Yangtze River to serve as the chief soldier, or transferred to the Nanyang Naval Division or the Beiyang Naval Division, Cao Bianjiao is to completely wipe out the power of the Zheng family, and the East China Sea Division will really become a Daming Naval Division, not for the benefit of a certain family.
