"Although General Zheng has gone to Nanjing, but I, Cao Bianjiao, are still there, and I have ordered that Zheng Sen be the acting chief soldier and be in charge of the Fujian Naval Division.

"Obey the general's orders!" At the moment, Zheng Ming and Zheng Cai stood up one after another to express their support, Zheng Zhilong is gone, and their knot can be untied, and Zheng Zhilong's departure is already a fact, can they still go and snatch Zheng Zhilong back, they can only admit the established facts.

"Zheng Zhibao, what about you?" Cao Bianjiao glanced at the two of them with satisfaction, and then looked at Zheng Zhibao.

"The last general will obey the general's military orders!" Although Zheng Zhibao was a little unwilling, he knew very well that as soon as Zheng Zhilong left, the interests of the Zheng family would also be greatly damaged, but it was already like this, what else could he do, Zheng Ming and Zheng Cainai were powerful generals in the army, they had already expressed their position, and it was Zheng Sen who took over, what objection could he have.

"We will obey the general's orders!" Everyone also responded.

"Good! It is worthy of being a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty, you can rest assured, your official positions will not change, you are all meritorious ministers, the court will not treat you badly, and I will not treat you slowly, but from now on, you must act in accordance with the will of the court, serve the court well, and it is not difficult to be knighted, and I also want to say ugly things in front, if anyone violates the yang and yin, makes some small actions, or goes against the grain, then don't blame me for the ruthlessness of military law and the ruthlessness of national law! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Bianjiao immediately gave Zheng Sen a look, Zheng Sen understood, and immediately got up and said: "I am ordered by the general to act as the chief military officer of Fujian, and now I will make some slight adjustments to the army, more than 200,000 Fujian Naval Divisions, which cost a lot of money, when reducing the old and weak, go to Tuntian, Yanping Mansion, retain 140,000 people, 30,000 people will be assigned to the East China Sea Division, 10,000 will be assigned to the Beiyang Naval Division, 20,000 will be assigned to the Nanyang Naval Division, and the Fujian Naval Division will only retain 80,000 horses, divided into 16 battalions, composed of Zheng Cai, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Zhibao, Shi Daxuan, Shi Fu, Hong Xu, Gan Hui, Feng Chengshi and others sent the general ...... of the 16th battalion"

"Yes!" Everyone fell to the ground in response, although everyone felt a little unwilling, but the living room was like this, without the leader of the Zheng family's army, now they can only follow Zheng Sen's military orders, each of them was originally a commander of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, but now all of them have become five thousand, what can they do, rebel, they really don't have the courage.

"Shi Daxuan, you have a son named Shi Lang, right?"

Shi Daxuan hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Returning to the general, that's exactly the case, the child is forty years old, and he is in the army!" ”

"I heard that Shi Lang is resolute and courageous, and I want to accept him as a deputy general, let him follow me, serve the country in the future, and be able to be a general and glorify the ancestors!"

"Thank you for the general's support, the last general is here to treat the child and thank the general for his kindness!" Shi Daxuan is also very excited at the moment, his son Shi Lang has a big face and wide forehead since he was a child, Shi Daxuan heard that this is a noble person, so he strictly disciplined Shi Lang, just hoping that Shi Lang would become a prince and general in the future, and now Cao Bianjiao will take him by his side, Shi Daxuan feels that this is an excellent opportunity, and he is naturally happy.

Cao Bianjiao smiled and nodded, motioned for Shi Daxuan to get up, and then said: "Hong Xu, I know that you have a son, named Hong Lei, who is good at history books and ancient books, very studious, you are a military general, you can make your son become a Confucian scholar, it is not easy, let him enter the Hanlin Academy, there are countless ancient classics there, and the imperial court is also starting to compile a collection of anthologies, he is useful, I recommend him as the classics of the Hanlin Academy." ”

"The last general obeys!" Hong Xu also stood up and thanked him at the moment! I am a martial artist, I didn't expect that the son born is a person who prefers historical books, he is also quite helpless, the previous examination was not successful, and now he directly enters the Hanlin Academy, which is a place for Confucianism to stay, and he is also relieved.

"Gan Hui, I know that your parents died early, your family is poor, and you are a righteous and chivalrous person, so you are persecuted by the patriarch, wandering in Zhangzhou, Shima, Haicheng and other places, and you dare not live in the township for a long time. I just joined the army, but it is the general flag, after I discussed with Damu, I promoted you to the general soldier, I hope you will serve the country, in addition, I give you the four words "Haicheng chivalry", build a plaque for you, you transport it home, repair the grave of your parents, and shame those who once snubbed you, but don't take revenge on others, so as not to hinder your reputation as a chivalrous! Cao Bianjiao also continued.

When Gan Hui heard this, he also hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowed and said: "The last general thanks the general Longen, and he will swear to repay the general's kindness, smear the liver and brain of the court, and never break his word!" ”

"Get up, don't be like this!" Cao Bianjiao also stepped forward in person and helped Gan Hui up.

"You are all people trusted by Cao Bianjiao, so I Cao Bianjiao will not treat you badly, you serve the country well, the marquis is just around the corner, and the glory of the ancestors is not a problem!"

After a night of understanding, Cao Bianjiao has a thorough understanding of the main generals in the Zheng family army and their family background, so now they can tell their things in a paragraph, and this night's efforts are not in vain, because Cao Bianjiao's appeasement strategies have indeed played a role in winning people's hearts, and all the generals in the army are in respect of Cao Bianjiao.

"After you go back, you will appease the people, whether it is my Han Chinese, or Japanese, Koreans, as long as they are willing to serve my Ming Dynasty, they are all my Ming soldiers, and those who have been laid off, each person will be allocated ten taels of silver for the resettlement expenses, and the land will be allocated according to the number of people in their families, and no taxes will be levied within two years......

"Obey the general's orders!" Everyone is happy and convinced this time, it is Zheng Zhilong, and he also accepts his fate, how can the existence of such a Cao Bianjiao allow the Zheng family to be independent and seek personal gain in the southeast, it is absolutely impossible, in just a few words, it has enveloped most of the main generals in the army, which is equivalent to controlling the entire army. He had to admit that meeting Cao Bianjiao was a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and a misfortune for Zheng Zhilong.

After crossing the Luoyang River, Zheng Zhilong, who was hungover, woke up leisurely, but he found that he was on top of the carriage, so he hurriedly stopped the convoy and asked about the situation.

When he learned that he had been transferred out of Fujian and served as the governor of Beijing, he was also depressed, knowing that he had fallen into Cao Bianjiao's job, but he had already left the ground of Jinjiang, and by his side, except for a few servants at home and his wife and children, there was not even a personal soldier, and there were thousands of ironclad soldiers guarding him by his side.

Cao Bianjiao didn't kill him, he already felt very lucky, now he can still save his life, hanging on to a first-class official position, what else is there to ask for, he will never go back to Fujian, but when he thinks of the wealth he has accumulated for 20 years, he is beating his chest.
