"Then according to what you say, is it possible that the imperial court is still watching Jinzhou finish?" Zheng Zhilong said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course not." Zheng Sen smiled, "If you don't look at it, you won't have it." The real best thing for the imperial court to do is to take advantage of Jianxuan's full strength to deal with Jinzhou, and use the army used to rescue Jinzhou to suppress those rogues, so that maybe they can continue their lives for a while longer. Anyway, Zu Dashou didn't listen to the dispatch a long time ago, and it was not worth it to save him at such a big cost. ”

"If the court doesn't save it, what if Zu Dashou surrenders Jianxuan?" Zheng Zhilong asked, and then he said, "Although this matter has nothing to do with us, it ......"

"How can Zu Dashou be willing to surrender Jianxuan. He did not surrender, and the imperial court would give him several million taels of silver every year. If he surrenders, what can Jianshen give him? Not only can he not give anything, but he is afraid that the land, tunhu, and silver he has saved over the years in Liaodong will become Jianzhi. As long as it is possible to support it, he is absolutely unwilling to surrender until it is a matter of life and death. Since the fight against Da Linghe, after Zu Dashou killed He Kegang, the imperial court summoned him to Beijing many times to meet him, but he did not go to the court, and he had already listened to the court and did not listen to the announcement. Over the years, he was not even willing to go to Ning Yuan, where the governor of Liaodong was located. Wholeheartedly build Jinzhou as a nest. There must be a lot of accumulation in Jinzhou City, and he should be willing to gamble with the Manchu Qing to see who can hold on. He has no problem holding out for at least a year. If the imperial court makes it look like it wants to be rescued, he can last longer. With this year's time, the imperial court uses more than 100,000 troops, what can't you do, what's not good to do? Zheng Sen replied with a sneer.

"There is some truth in what you say, as the saying goes, 'if you go outside, you must first settle inside', well, if you lose in the end, your second uncle won't have any problems, right?" After a long time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Zheng Sen was startled by this "outside must first be inside", why did his father suddenly say such reactionary remarks? Zheng Sen thought about it and determined that his father was by no means a traverser, so he replied, "Even if the front line is defeated, the second uncle will only have merit and will not make any mistakes." ”

"I'm worried that someone will put the blame for the defeat on your second uncle. Guan Ningjun and the guys in the imperial court......" Zheng Zhilong didn't continue to say more, just shook his head.

"If the imperial court loses this battle, how can it still have the strength to pursue the second uncle?" Zheng Sen said disapprerovingly. At the same time, he couldn't help but think that one day in the future, Li Zicheng would enter the capital, could he prepare in advance and save a prince in the chaos when the time came, so that he could blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes in the future?

Chongzhen has four sons, namely the crown prince Zhu Cijiong, the third son Zhu Cijiong, the fourth son Zhu Cijiong, and the fifth son Zhu Cihuan. Later, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, these people disappeared. Among them, the fifth child seemed to have changed his name to Wang Shiyuan, and lived incognito until he was over seventy years old. In the end, it seems that he was caught by the 'generous and benevolent' Kang Mazi, and then, well, and then although he didn't do anything, but because his surname was Zhu, and he was the son of Emperor Chongzhen, he was mercifully sentenced by Kang Mazi. ”

Zheng Sen's mind came up with stories about the sons of Emperor Chongzhen in later generations. And he remembered this, and he really lost all kinds of things about "Third Prince Zhu" in those braided scenes that filled the screen at the beginning.

"This Wang Shiyuan is the legendary 'Third Prince Zhu', when the world has called on him to launch anti-Qing uprisings again and again, this Third Prince Zhu has been hiding and just wants to save his life. It looks a lot like a guy who has limited courage and is afraid of death, and has no desire for power. Such a guy is a suitable target to be held hostage. ”

Zheng Sen originally planned to hold Emperor Hongguang, who had fled from the Emperor, hostage when the Southern Ming Dynasty collapsed, and then use him as a puppet to command the world. A large part of the reason why Zheng Sen planned to choose this emperor was that this emperor was a famous faint monarch. has no ambitions, only knows how to mess around, and has a bad reputation. Zheng Sen felt that such a person might be easy to control. But now, Zheng Sen is not sure whether Emperor Hongguang is the faint monarch depicted in "Peach Blossom Fan". Because most of Hongguang's so-called absurdity was said by those guys from the Eastern Zhejiang History School, to put it more clearly, it was said by those people from the Donglin Party and the Fushe. Although Zheng Sen does not have so many prejudices against Donglin and the Fushe, he also knows that Hongguang is from the Fuwang line, and the Fuwang family has a feud with the Donglin Party. Therefore, the image of Emperor Hongguang depicted from their mouths is reliable or not, only God knows.

Moreover, Zheng Sen vaguely remembered that when Hongguang fled to Jiangnan, the gentry in Jiangnan did not intend to support him who was the most qualified to be the emperor in addition to Chongzhen's son according to the etiquette law, but planned to set up King Lu, who was said to be very "virtuous" in the name of "Lixian". And if King Lu is established, then Hongguang, who was the King of Fu at that time, is estimated to be either killed or placed under house arrest for life. At such a critical moment, Hongguang quickly used the eunuchs to win over the four towns of Jiangbei, won their support, and established the throne in one fell swoop. This series of performances, no matter how you look at it, should not be something that a perverted idiot can do. Now that I think about it, "Peach Blossom Fan" completely writes Hongguang as a perverted idiot, which is mostly unreliable. And this Hongguang Emperor may still be a very politically ambitious person.

In contrast, Zhu Cihuan, who has always been afraid of death and has no ambition, may be a better puppet. And his identity is also more appealing. Therefore, Zheng Sen hesitated again at this time.

But now is not the time to think about these long-term things. Because Zheng Zhilong's voice came to his ears again.

"Ah Sen, I plan to ask Lord Dong to go to his house in the next few days to ask for a kiss. If you get permission, after the Wending ceremony, I will go to Taiwan with you to have a look. ”

"It's all up to Daddy." Zheng Sen arched his hand.

……

The matchmaker invited by Zheng Zhilong was Hong Chengji. Because of Zheng Sen's relationship, the relationship between the Hong family and the Zheng family is much closer than in history. Although Zheng Sen's later theory did not like Hong Chengjian very much, it did not affect the friendship between the two parties. Moreover, in the late Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengjian also saw a lot of shocking theories, especially those guys in the Taizhou School, who even planned to pull Confucius down from the holy throne of the Holy Master. Hong Chengjian can still talk and laugh with them. Therefore, the difference in Confucianism theory did not affect his opinion of Zheng Sen, at most, he sometimes sighed: "Ah Sen, this kid may not be able to become a generation of Confucianism in the future, but it is not easy to make progress in the scientific field." ”

Hong Chengjian has never been a matchmaker before, but this time it went well. In fact, he also vaguely mentioned this matter to Dong Yangxian, who was living in seclusion at home, and Dong Yangxian did not refuse the matter, but just said, "I want to go back and discuss with my mountain wife." Later, after meeting Hong Chengjian, He Hong Chengjian mentioned Zheng Sen's "Origin of Species", although Dong Yangxian did not agree with Zheng Sen's theory, but still gave a "talented" evaluation.

Later, when Dong Yougu helped Zheng Sen sort out some books, he mentioned that his father first mentioned Zheng Sen's situation to her.

"At that time, I was following Sister-in-law Wang to learn the boundary (a technique of embroidery), but a maid said, 'The lord and the lady are looking for the young lady.' I put down the female red and followed her to my father's room. But I saw my father and my mother sitting there waiting. So I went up to greet the two of them, and my father sat me down, but he said to me, 'You are not young now, and you are in the age of peace.' Now he is asking his father for his old friend. I've asked your mother about this guy and I think it's pretty good, so I'd like to ask you what you mean. ’

I just kept my head down and didn't dare to say much. But I heard my mother say: 'This man is Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian. A few years ago, he was admitted to Nan'an's Disheng and is also a well-known talent. I heard that he looks like a talent. ’

My father then said, 'Originally, I would have settled this matter with your mother.' It's just that this Zheng Sen is different from ordinary scholars in some places, so I think there are some things that I still have to talk to you about and listen to what you mean. Your mother also said just now, this Zheng Sen is a reading seed, and when it comes to reading, your brothers are far inferior to him. But now he's already a if he can. But I don't expect it to be unexpected, I'm afraid he will only be a child in his life. Do you know why? ’

I replied, 'My daughter doesn't know. But I was also a little curious. My father said, 'This kid wants to be a Confucian.' At a young age, he can already become a family in terms of learning. It's just that his family's words are too different from what is tested in the field today. And when I read his books, it took a lot of effort to write them. In this way, he probably has no spare energy to take care of the science field. Therefore, if my father agrees to his family's courtship, my daughter is afraid that there will be no day when Feng Guanxia will be ordered in the future. ’

I said, 'Could it be that he is a hidden heart?' My father smiled and said, "As far as his knowledge is concerned, he is more bold than He Xinyin, and he is more stable than He Xinyin." I'm afraid that in his heart, he doesn't just want to be a He Xinyin. But if he really looks like He Xinyin, what do you think? ’

I said, 'My daughters listen to their father.' ’

My father smiled and said, "Although this child may not be able to have a day when he is promoted to a junior sergeant, if there is chaos today, being an official may not be a stable thing." And this child's learning, the current achievements alone are enough to be famous for future generations. And now it is not as good as when Zhang Jiangling was there, and the imperial court did not have time to care about these He Xinyin. So I think it's worth considering. Well, here is a set of his books for the Father, you can take them back and read them, and then tell me what you mean. ’”
