Lianjiang, the locals also call the Ao River River, from the Eagle Peak Mountains, flow through three hundred miles, in Pukou and Dongdaikou into the East China Sea, look at it, even the river water is clear, there are many grasses and green trees on both banks, just after crossing the two banks of the river, there are many large areas of undulating mountains, the wind blows casually, and it rolls up a piece of dust from time to time. The Lianjiang River is a branch of the Dongxiao River, the river meanders to the southwest, and has been moistening and irrigating the land on both sides of the river, but because it is close to the coast, there is not much land to cultivate, and most of the people along the coast make a living from fishing and hunting, and the coast is more of a sandy beach, which is not suitable for planting crops in a large area.

The wind blew and blew, rolling up a piece of dust, "bang", Ma Sansheng lifted a bucket of water from the river, and washed his face, although it was only March at this time, but the weather in Fujian has begun to get hot. The cool water of the river lifted his spirits. Ma Sansheng looked into the distance, his eyes habitually narrowed again.

The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River in front of you, the faint mountains, the reckless trees, and the faintly visible villages in the distance, this is the coastal scenery of the southeast of Daming. This is a very chaotic era, rather than a peaceful dog, not a troubled era, human life is like a mustard, but in this place, although far away from the northern battlefield, but still not quiet, robbers, pirates, is still the biggest threat to their lives.

"What's that?" Ma Sansheng found that there seemed to be something next to the river bank in the distance, driven by curiosity, Ma Sansheng also put down the bucket of water, and walked over cautiously, when he approached, he suddenly found that it was a person, and he was also startled at the moment, and tentatively probed his nose and found that it was a living person, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Help me...... Save me......" That person also woke up leisurely under the pat of Ma Sansheng.

"Brother, who are you and why are you lying here?" Ma Sansheng asked, he didn't dare to take someone back rashly, what if it was a pirate spy, Ma Sansheng was also wary.

"Send me to the government, I have something important to report to the court."

"Okay, I'll take you to the county government now!" Ma Sansheng also hurriedly helped the people to go in the direction of the county government.

"Drive... "A member of the team rode a flying horse into Nanjing City at a gallop and went directly to the General's Mansion.

"What's so urgent?" Cao Bianjiao also walked out of the inner courtyard in plain clothes, just picked up the rice bowl, and before he had time to pick up the chopsticks, he was interrupted by the emergency report of Fuzhou Mansion, and Cao Bianjiao didn't care about eating, so he hurriedly came out.

"General, this is an urgent report sent by Yang Banghan, the prefect of Fuzhou, six days ago, the fishermen of Lianjiang County rescued a person who crossed the sea from Taiwan on the seaside, it was Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han tribe in Tainan, who crossed the sea to ask the court for help, the Dutch implemented coercive rule in Taiwan, took the land as they owned, forced the people to pay all kinds of taxes, and plundered Taiwan's rice, sugar, raw silk, sugar and porcelain and other things, the people of Taiwan were miserable, so Guo Huaiyi crossed the sea and asked the court for help!" Li Yan also reported the general's situation to Cao Bianjiao at the moment.

"Bang ......" The tea case at Cao Bianjiao's hand was also directly smashed by Cao Bianjiao, and fell to the ground, Cao Bianjiao's anger can be imagined.

"The Netherlands, but a small Western country, dares to bully my Daming, it's extremely hateful!" Cao Bianjiao got up angrily and said.

"In fact, this is not a new thing, since the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch colonists have entrenched in Taiwan for more than 20 years, built the city of Gelansha and the city of Pu Minsha in Tainan as the ruling center, in order to increase the output of rice, sugar and other crops, a large number of Fujian coastal and Penghu residents were recruited to move to Taiwan for reclamation, and there was also a Zheng Zhilong colluded with them, immigrated to them on a large scale, obtained profits, and also established Zheng Zhilong and their trade relations......"

"This tumor, I vow to pull it out, and send someone to Zhejiang to tell Chen Zilong that your sailor should also move! Let him prepare, within ten days, I will go to Hangzhou, go south to Fujian with him, and let Yang Banghan treat the people who come well, and the fisherman who saved them is also a reward to show the kindness of the imperial court. ”

"Yes!" Li Yan knows very well that Cao Bianjiao's idea of wanting to fight Taiwan is not because of today's events, it has started since he took power in Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong has filled his own pockets, which has seriously endangered the interests of the imperial court, and it is impossible for Cao Bianjiao to connive at it, and now that the northern Xinjiang is temporarily peaceful, Cao Bianjiao will take the opportunity to solve this matter.

"General, if you want to fight the Dutch, you must first solve Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong has divided from Fujian, with as many as 200,000 sailors in his hands, thousands of large and small ships, intercepting Fujian taxes, raising troops for himself, and at the same time cracking down on official trade, it is a matter of time before he moves, but he still needs to be outwitted, if he is forced, he will only be forced to oppose Zheng Zhilong, if he gathers overseas, then it will be a stinger on my southeast coast, and it will not be easy to pull it out!" Li Yan also opened his mouth at the moment, reminding Cao Bianjiao that although it was imperative to move Zheng Zhilong, he also needed to think of a foolproof strategy.

Cao Bianjiao also calmed down, bowed his head again and again, and paid attention to Li Yan's words, he was right, this matter should not be careless, except for Zheng Zhilong, he has to rely on outwitting, if he goes overseas, and then wants to solve him, it will be difficult, there are many islands along the southeast coast, which place Zheng Zhilong can not be entrenched for a while, the sea is not land, if you want to search and capture, it is tantamount to the difficulty of ascending to the sky.

"What you said is right, you have to outwit it, I will ask the emperor to crown Zheng Zhilong as Jing Haibo, let him be happy first, and you can find Zheng Sen for me, this matter still needs his help to succeed!"

"Yes!" Li Yan also left immediately.

It didn't take long for Zheng Sen to arrive, and he had been working in the General's Mansion for several months, for Cao Bianjiao, Zheng Sen was a talent, but he could be of great use, and he was loyal, not his son Zheng Zhilong could be compared.

"Da Mu, I'm going to Fujian, you go with me, go home and see, I heard that your mother sent someone to invite you back to your hometown a year ago, because there are many things in the house at the end of the year, and you haven't been able to do it, and now you're free, go back and see your mother!"

Zheng Sen is not a fool, but very smart, he guessed a little bit of meaning after listening to Cao Bianjiao's words, and asked at the moment: "General, can you spare my father's life?" ”

"Since you know what I mean, you should understand how serious what he has done, but if you plead, I can promise you that I will not let them do any harm, and they will live in this life!"

"The humble duty understands, the general can rest assured, the humble duty knows what to do, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, the humble duty can only give up the family to save the country, the humble duty has congratulated my father on his birthday this time!" Zheng Sen also nodded silently at the moment, and after a long time, he also made his own choice, when loyalty and filial piety were difficult to achieve, he could only choose loyalty.

"That's good! Damu, you are a hero, Ming Dayi, Zhizhong Festival, I am very pleased, after this incident, I will ask the emperor to play, give you the surname, as a reward, you can rest assured, I promised you, I will keep my promise. ”

"Thank you, General!" Zheng Sen also bowed at the moment to show gratitude.
