Fujing seaside, Zheng's water village, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen stood on the shore, with guards behind him to protect each other, and the flag was displayed.

On the sea, hundreds of sea ships shuttled, Zheng Zhilong looked at it with a thousand miles of mirror, and then put it down after a while, saying Zheng Sen said: "Da Mu, my Zheng family is based on ******, and it is all thanks to thousands of big ships across the sea that I can have the current foundation." Now Wang Shiheng also has more than 400 big ships in his hands, if they return to Guangdong, above the Guangdong Sea, my Zheng family's interests will be affected! ”

Zheng Zhilong's view of the sea ship is the original battle of Zhenjiang, the remnants of the Ming Yangtze River Naval Division, after Wang Yan went south, Zuo Maodi and Chen Zilong handed over the ship to Wang Yan for the purpose of transporting troops and grain.

When Zheng Sen heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, "Father, my Zheng family supports His Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongyong is also dedicated to the country, and the four seas are owned by the country, you and the Marquis of Zhongyong are both important ministers of the court, and they should work together, but they can't be suspicious of each other!" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help but glance back at Zheng Sen, and then shook his head slightly and said, "Da Mu, my father is going to test you well today." Do you know, why did my Zheng clan want to welcome Emperor Longwu? ”

Zheng Sen was stunned when he heard this, and pondered: "Naturally, it is to recover the rivers and mountains, to be the minister of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, and to go down in history!" ”

"Haha~" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but laugh softly when he heard this, "Hongguang Dynasty is separated by the Yangtze River moat, the four towns are strong, and they can't refuse to be captured. For the father to welcome Emperor Longwu, not for the Northern Expedition can be realized, if it succeeds, then my Zheng family will take the opportunity to control the southeast, if not, my Zheng family can also use the emperor's prestige to order the princes, consolidate the interests of the moment, and also take the opportunity to reach out to Guangdong and Jiangxi. In this way, no matter how the situation changes, my Zheng family is invincible! ”

"My father is deeply favored by the country, how can he be like this?" When Zheng Sen heard this, his face changed.

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Sen's expression, and couldn't help but say with some reproach: "Da Mu! You're such a piece of wood! Everything I have done for my father is not for you, but for our Zheng family. It seems that you were sent to Nanjing Guozijian at the beginning, but it was wrong, your mentor Qian Qianyi has been cleared, and you still believe in the way of loyalty to the country, which is really stupid! ”

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Zheng Sen was stunned for a while: "Father, my son only wants to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore his sight, and be loyal to the country, I don't want to~~"

"Well, my father doesn't want to hear your words!" Zheng Zhilong waved his hand to interrupt Zheng Sen's words, "Da Mu! For my father, you just need to know that everything you have done for your father is for you, for my descendants to be able to make contributions, I hope you can understand! ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, his heart was suddenly clouded with a haze.

Just as Zheng Zhilong and his son were talking to each other on the coast, suddenly an attendant came, saying that the emperor beckoned, and Zheng and his son returned to the city and entered the palace to meet each other.

In the palace, Long Wu sat on top of the big treasure, and Wang Yan and several ministers stood aside, and there were discussions in their mouths, or excitement or heartache, obviously something big happened.

At this time, after the two saluted the emperor, Zheng Zhilong said: "I don't know what Your Majesty is calling each other, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Recruiting Lao Shiqing to come here today, there is really something important to discuss!" Emperor Longwu said with some excitement: "Just now Wang Qing brought the news, the Qing court disregarded the righteousness of the people, brazenly implemented the shaving order, forced the people to shave their hair, obeyed the Manchu system, made the land south of the Yangtze River boil, and the volunteers embraced, I want to take the opportunity to raise the Northern Expedition, recover Jinling, and specially recruit the old Shiqing to discuss!" ”

At that moment, Emperor Longwu summoned Wang Zhilong again, and said what he had seen and heard in the south before, and let the Zheng father and son know about it.

"Your Majesty!" After listening to this, Zheng Sen had forgotten what he had said to Zheng Zhilong on the coast before, and his face couldn't help but be excited: "This person has a heart for Han, and the Jiangbei captives are returning to the north to escape the summer, it is really a God-given opportunity to help me restore the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zheng Sen's words can be said to say what Emperor Longwu and Wang Yan thought in their hearts, "The words of the Qing family are also what I think!" Such an opportunity is definitely not to be missed, I don't know what plan you have to help me succeed? ”

Before Zheng Zhilong could speak, Zheng Sen opened his mouth to agree, and the emperor had already set the tone, which made him not know how to deal with it for a while, so he just stood aside with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yan came out at this time and said: "The minister thinks that this Northern Expedition can raise troops on five routes, and the minister is willing to lead the troops out of Xianxia Pass, contact the Jinsheng Department of Huizhou, and drive directly to Nanjing, this is one of them!" Dingyu Hou Ke greatly rejuvenated the water division, marched along the coast, attacked Yuhang, and then went straight into the Yangtze River, cutting off the waterway, in case the northern captives came to help, and its second also! Yang Tinglin in southern Jiangnan, Li Yongmao's troops went out of Ganzhou and attacked Jiujiang, and its third also! Hunan He Tengjiao sent troops to Wuchang, and its fourth also! His Majesty is passing the decree to eastern Zhejiang, ordering the king of Lu to be attached, going to the position of supervising the country, and ordering the Jiangnan righteous army to attack in all directions to contain the captives, this fifth also! With these five ways, great things can be done! ”

Wang Yan said that the five-way army, if it can really be mobilized, not only is it not a problem to recover Nanjing, but it may even be restored to the early years of Hongguang, the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and if the king of Lu is attached, it can also avoid the state has two masters, and there are two days in the sky, so Emperor Longwu was suddenly moved.

"The Qing family's strategy is very much in line with my wishes!" Wang Yan's words made Emperor Longwu quite excited, and he wanted to make a decision immediately, but suddenly saw Zheng Zhilong's unhappy face and silence, and he couldn't help but palpitate in his heart, and then asked: "Old Shiqing, but what's on your mind?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhilong wants to control the court and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he must have absolute power in the court, so he can't tolerate it at all, there can be a Wang Yan in the court to compete with him, and once the Northern Expedition is successful, if the wheel of merit is a meritorious service, it is also Wang Yan, who led the Northern Expedition, is the first meritorious, he is just a partial teacher, and he will not be able to suppress Wang Yan in the future, so he objected: "Although the policy said by the Marquis of Fang Cai Zhongyong sounds feasible, it is really on paper. There is a way that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the loyal and brave marquis wants to raise the army, but there are no soldiers to feed the grain and grass, and in the end it is just empty talk! ”

Hearing this, Longwu couldn't help frowning slightly, but Wang Yan said: "Fujian has the convenience of maritime merchants, and this year's tax payment has not been done to relieve the pressure of the imperial court, how can the Taishi say that there is no silver?" ”

Zheng's crisscross the sea, the past merchant ships have to pay taxes to it, the annual tax is as high as millions, it can be said that the rich rival country, although Wang Yan is not familiar with the sea, but also heard, so when he heard that Zheng Zhilong said that there is no pay and no food, his heart suddenly sank.

"Marquis Zhongyong doesn't know, now the situation in the country and the dynasty is not as good as in the past, the situation in the court has deteriorated, and the situation in Fujian is becoming more and more difficult. Overseas Hongmaoyi, sea pirates, all take advantage of the situation, I Fujian in the sea to encircle and suppress the Yikou, it is good not to ask the court for money, there is still money out of the money to help! Zheng Zhilong said with a cold face.

"Father~" When Zheng Sen heard this, he couldn't help but say something, but Zheng Zhilong saw this, but he stopped it ruthlessly.
