Zheng Zhibao has already poured, no one needs to force the wine, he himself just keeps drinking, the banquet has been going on for less than an hour, Zheng Zhibao drank a little dazed, was helped away by Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhibao drank too much, but the protagonist Zheng Zhilong is still there, although his face is red, he has also drunk a lot, but Zheng Zhilong is still sober.

After Zheng Sen helped Zheng Zhibao to the back hall, he did not return to the banquet, but went out of the village gate and came to the Zheng family's sailor camp in the port.

"Da Mu, you didn't attend the banquet in the mansion, why did you come to the barracks!" Seeing Zheng Sen who appeared outside the tent door, Zheng Cai also asked with a smile, full of questions.

Zheng Sen walked in with a jar of wine, and said with a smile: "I know that you have worked hard, and you can't go in to celebrate your birthday, so I took a jar of wine and drank a few glasses with you!" ”

"Good! I'm still hungry! Zheng Cai also showed joy.

"Come to ......" Zheng Sen also poured wine for them personally.

"Two clan brothers, have you ever thought about serving the imperial court in the past, making meritorious contributions, and glorifying the lintel?" After three glasses of wine, Zheng Sen also asked casually.

"Aren't we now the official generals of the Ming Dynasty, I, the general of the water division, Zheng Ming, and the deputy chief soldier, aren't they all officials of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I'm not talking about this, but news for the court alone, not following my father, my father is an official of the imperial court, but what he does, you know better than me, he just wants to seek maritime interests in this capacity, although he is the chief military officer of Fujian, but he can only be regarded as half of the Ming official, in general, he is still a maritime businessman, his eyes are on the southeast coast, not the whole world."

When Zheng Cai and Zheng Ming heard this, their hearts trembled at the moment, and they also restrained their smiles, Zheng Cai asked with a serious face: "Da Mu, what do you mean by this, do you want us to get rid of your father?" We can have today, but it was all brought by your father, the beautiful wife and beautiful family, the courtyard of the mansion, these are not possible without your father. ”

"But my father can give it to you because of his affection, not because of your talents, and your achievements can only cease to be related to this, and if one day my father no longer believes in you, he can take back everything he has and reward him to someone else, who he thinks is more useful, isn't it?"

Zheng Sen's few words also pierced into the depths of his heart, because they and Zheng Zhilong are clansmen, so Zheng Zhilong reuses them, this is indeed true, up and down the army, it is the Zheng clan leading the troops, but it is true that it is not because their ability has been recognized by Zheng Zhilong that they will be given such generous treatment, if Zheng Zhilong thinks that they are useless, they can take away everything they have now in one sentence, and they don't even have a little room for resistance.

Zheng Sen saw the change in their faces, and continued at the moment: "I just want to leave you one more way, just give you an opinion, you don't have to think too much, my father still trusts you very much at the moment, but with the imperial court, with the credit on you, it is justifiable, as long as you don't break the law and break the taboo, no one has the right to take the reward you get." ”

"Ohki, did you hear something?" Zheng Cai also asked at the moment, he felt that Zheng Sen would not say these things for no reason, was Zheng Zhilong said something to him, so Zheng Sen would come to tell them this.

Zheng Sen also glanced outside the tent at the moment, and whispered: "Father did say something and wanted to promote a group of generals in the army, but don't worry, you have followed him all these years, and there is no merit and hard work, and my father will naturally not treat you badly." ”

Zheng Cai and Zheng Ming glanced at each other, they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, they listened to the first few sentences of Zheng Sen, and ignored the last few sentences, what kind of credit and hard work, they would not believe these, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others who were entrenched in the sea back then, they were all friends of Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong were sworn brothers who once fought side by side and killed in the sea of blood, but Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't kill them all yet, and killed them all with his own hands, they don't have many illusions about Zheng Zhilong's character.

"Don't worry, with me, I will protect you, you drink first, I'll go back first!" Zheng Sen also stopped at the point, and didn't say anything more, just said the heat.

"Thank you, Damu!" Zheng Cai also thanked Zheng Sen and expressed his gratitude, if it wasn't for Zheng Sen's report, they wouldn't know their situation, they were still complacent every day, forgetting everything for the benefits they had gained by following Zheng Zhilong, everything in their hands was just the means of others, and the two of them were also speechless and full of worries.

When Zheng Sen returned to the village, it was still very lively, the banquet started from Shen Shi, and it continued when he arrived at Hai Shi, but many people had left, and there were few people left, Zheng Zhilong was also misty-eyed, he had already drunk too much, and he couldn't see people clearly, but he was in a good mood, and he was still telling Cao Bianjiao about what he had done when he fought with the Dutch, and Cao Bianjiao was also listening quietly.

"General, my husband has drunk too much, I'll help him go and rest first, the people have already prepared the general's residence, and the hour is not too early......" Tian Chuan also grabbed Zheng Zhilong and wanted to pull him away.

"It's okay! General Zheng has just finished his birthday, but there are still some official tasks that are not yet finished, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer! ”

The people present didn't understand the meaning of Cao Bianjiao's words, and they didn't want to say anything, they sat there quietly and accompanied, not long after, Zheng Sen came to the main hall, behind him, there were a few people wearing flying fish suits, white faces and beards, and it could be seen at a glance that this person was from the palace.

"Da Mu, this is ......" Zheng Xing, the deputy chief soldier who was sitting with him, also got up and asked at the moment.

Before Zheng Sen could speak, the person who came immediately shouted loudly: "Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian, receives the order!" ”

Zheng Zhilong was drunk in a daze at the moment, and when he heard the words of the person who delivered the decree, he also staggered to his feet, and smiled with a red face: "Accept the decree, accept the decree, is the emperor going to add an official to me, I ......will take it."

Zheng Sen also stepped forward, supported Zheng Zhilong, helped him to the ground, and shouted on behalf of his father: "Fujian Chief Military Officer Zheng Zhilong takes the order!" ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian, guards the southeast, resists foreign humiliation, stabilizes the coastal trade routes, and has made outstanding achievements.

"Governor, Earl Feng, okay, okay, I'll go to Nanjing, I'll go to Nanjing......" Zheng Zhilong was already confused at the moment, and he didn't choose to say anything at the moment.

"Thanksgiving!" Zheng Sen also immediately helped Zheng Zhilong to get up and took over the holy decree.

"Governor Zheng, the emperor has given the emperor to welcome you into Beijing, you are ready, let's go!"
