Zheng Sen's murderous answer surprised his uncles, but they didn't say anything. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Sen continued to speak:

"Of course, it's better to teach these people a lesson, even to kill someone, to let someone else do it. You can let the rogue do it, you can let Jianyu do it, and even, you can let them do it yourself. There are many people in Jiangnan who have business dealings with us, and if we lure them to profit, and then use our armor to deter them, we should still be able to avoid really using a knife. Of course, one of the big problems with these people is that they are too greedy, and they can't do it without teaching them a lesson. ”

Zheng Sen often analyzes his career with a certain philosophy that he has learned in his previous life. Obviously, in terms of class attributes, the Zheng family was undoubtedly a big landlord and an emerging bourgeoisie. Nor did Zheng Sen intend to start a proletarian revolution in the 15th century, which was unrealistic and did not serve Zheng Sen's own interests. Zheng Sen's goal was clear: to take advantage of this golden age of colonialism to lead a bourgeois revolution and eventually build a global empire of evil capitalism. Zheng Sen believes that one of the biggest differences between the capitalist revolution and the proletarian revolution is that it is easier for the capitalist revolution to reach a compromise with the revolutionary object.

After all, the capitalists were originally developed from the landlord class, and this is even more obvious in China, so Zheng Sen felt that if he wanted to lead everyone on the evil road of capitalism, it is estimated that although some people would oppose it, as long as they could obtain enough benefits on this road, there would still be more people willing to follow. Of course, some guys have to break when they have a vested interest that is excessive, hindering the development of capitalism. For example, the monopoly of the civil service, such as financial privileges, these are all envisioned by Zheng Sen and cannot be tolerated by the evil capitalist empire of the future.

Zheng Sen knew that the great capitalist empires of later generations had shed blood when they embarked on the capitalist road. Even the so-called British Empire, which had a relatively large remnant of feudalism, would not have had a peaceful and bloodless glorious revolution if it had not been for Cromwell, the protector, and had not unceremoniously cut off the head of Charles I. So, killing someone or something, sometimes it is necessary.

"How long do you think the imperial court can last?" Zheng Zhilong asked suddenly.

Zheng Sen thought for a while and replied, "It should be able to hold on for the past two years." In the north, although Jianzhou won a big victory in Jinzhou, Jinzhou's end was a foregone conclusion. However, there are few Tartars, and the national strength is actually limited after all. After such a big battle, they also have to recuperate. So this year, there is absolutely no reason for the Tartars to re-enter the Kou. As for the Central Plains, it depends on how the imperial court uses the Qin army. Now there is still one person in the court who can lead troops to fight, and if he can be used, he can support him for a while. As long as the court is not in too much of a hurry. ”

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Zhilong said.

"I'm talking about Sun Chuanting, who is now in prison." Zheng Sen replied, "In all fairness, Sun Chuanting's war was not bad. Now the army under the court is still a little able to fight, and it is still a little obedient. Now that they have to suppress Li Zicheng, they probably can't do it, but if they are used for defense, they can barely support it for a while. I just don't know if our saint can't bear it. ”

"Sun Chuanting, I have also heard of this person from Inspector Hong. According to him, Sun Chuanting is indeed a person who can fight. Qin Jun was brought out by him. Zheng Zhihu interjected, "It's just that today's Qin Army is different from a few years ago, and today's Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not the same as before." And I heard that there are many people in the court who don't like him, including the current saint. And the saint is anxious today, and I am afraid that it will be ......"

Zheng Sen knew that the so-called people in the court did not like Sun Chuanting, referring to Yang Sichang. Although Yang Sichang had left the capital to supervise outside because of a series of strategic failures at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's trust in him did not decrease much. He is still quite influential on Chongzhen. In the original history, if it weren't for Yang Sichang's death, Sun Chuanting might not have been able to get out of prison and be reappointed.

"Recently, Zhang Tianru came to write a book, talking about the affairs of the DPRK and China. It is a foregone conclusion that Zhou Yusheng will re-enter the cabinet to pay respects. My family has done a lot in this matter. So Zhang Tianru gave my family a few places to protect officials. We can also take this opportunity to get the imperial court to reactivate Sun Chuanting. In today's situation, it is always good for my family to be able to delay a little longer. Zheng Sen said again.

"Zhou Yusheng worshiped the prime minister again, and after coming to power, if he first proposed to use Sun Chuanting, with his status, I believe it should be possible. However, this recommendation has a lot to do with it, and I am afraid that it will consume a lot of favors that my family has received in this matter. Zheng Zhilong said, "Ah Sen, just now you mentioned that my family wants to take advantage of the advantages of the Yangtze River and Huai River, and we also need to arrange some of our people in these positions. Especially in the Jianghuai area, it is particularly important, where we have to arrange a person who can be used. ”

"It shouldn't be a big deal." Zheng Sen said, "My family's financial resources, Zhang Tianru and Zhou Yusheng know a little. They also know that if they want to do things now, they need money everywhere, and besides, Yang Sichang is not their person, so they will not get stuck with us in this matter. If Jianghuai wants to arrange a person there, the child wants to arrange Ma Shiying here. My family already has a military base in Zhenjiang, but there is no one who can be a civilian official, and it is not easy to operate. Although Ma Shiying may not have much ability, he is a righteous person, if he gets our help, he will become an official. Will definitely be willing to help us. We have the opportunity to buy land in some key places between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River to build small bastions. It can be relied on as a support point when fighting in the future. ”

"These things are only familiar to you in my family, so you can just let them go." Zheng Zhilong said.

"Daddy, in addition to this, there is another thing that Daddy needs to have an idea." Zheng Sen said again.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

The child thought that it would be better to have an army on Chongming Island that could react quickly if something happened. The size of this force will not be small, but it is not known who should be in charge directly. Zheng Sen replied.

"I'm afraid there's something different about this army, right? Tell us what kind of team you're going to come up with, and then we'll talk about it. Zheng Zhilong said.

"Daddy, the child thinks, in addition to arranging the defenders at some important support points, the most important thing is to have a team that reacts quickly and can quickly enter the battle. That's what the child thinks. In our current land war, in fact, no one is afraid, even Jianxuan, who is fighting head-on, and is not our opponent. It's just that our army is now more and more dependent on artillery firepower. However, when moving along the Jianghuai River, it was very troublesome for our artillery to get on and off the ships. Daddy, you also know that even if the cannon is light, it is not something that people can move casually, and there must be special docks and equipment to get on and off the ship. Once there is an incident in the south of the Yangtze River, it is convenient for our soldiers to march by boat, but if our artillery wants to take a boat, it will encounter the problem of inconvenience in getting on and off the boat. Therefore, the child wants to deploy an artillery force in Chongming that can quickly disembark and disembark. Zheng Sen replied.

"How are you going to get them on and off the boat quickly?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

"There is a new design in the gun factory." Zheng Sen said, "It can maintain considerable power on the premise of greatly reducing the weight of the cannon." It's just that they intended to use steel instead of bronze to make it. So this kind of cannon is really expensive. One cannon costs the original several cannons. It also requires special boats that can quickly unload the cannons on relatively simple beaches. However, these ships had no other purpose than to transport such cannons. To command this army, it must be our infantry, artillery operations, as well as the organization of transportation, very well known and very familiar. The people here are all little hairy children, and they are often all the same, and to coordinate them, you need a general who is proficient in all of them. ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he said, "It's actually good for your third uncle to do such a thing. Although your third uncle doesn't know much about infantry and artillery warfare now, since there won't be any major problems in a year or two, just let him study it seriously. Look at the second child, don't you know a lot about how to use the model army to fight a war - Zhifeng, you were originally the defender of Zhenjiang, and you happened to do this. After the New Year, when Ah Sen finishes marrying, you will follow Ah Sen to study. ”

"Big brother, no problem." Zheng Zhifeng said.

"Big brother, you can actually leave this matter to me." Zheng Zhihu shouted.

"Second uncle, that stronghold in Jinghai is very important. In the past two years, we have to strengthen it as much as possible. With this stronghold, no matter who controls the north in the future, it will be very troublesome to use troops against Jiangnan on a large scale. This matter still needs to be dealt with by the second uncle. Moreover, my family has horses on Jeju Island, and as long as the imperial court can support it for another year or two, we will be able to train thousands of cavalry on Jeju Island. However, Jeju Island is isolated overseas, and what we are doing on it, Liukou and Jianzhi don't know anything. When the time comes, their army will go south, and the second uncle will bring a large group of cavalry, relying on Jinghai's stronghold, and give them a guy from behind. This may well be the battle that will determine the ownership of the world. So although the north is cold and dry, it is very uncomfortable, but there is still a second uncle Lao. ”

Zheng Zhihu nodded when he heard this, seemingly satisfied, and then he asked again: "Then who will take care of Luzon now?" ”

This question Zheng Sen had actually already passed the anger with Zheng Zhilong, so he replied: "Let Adu take care of this piece first, anyway, the overall situation over there has been decided, and there will be no repetition." And soon the new warship will be built, and I am about to take the fleet over there, and by the way, I can help my brother. ”
