Section 342

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

People come and go in the house, and there are also banquet invitations from local officials, and from time to time some guards can't pay attention to it and run over to ask for instructions, which is not a good place for conversation.

Zheng Zhilong got Qin Haoming's promise to drink bitterly tonight, and he was really happy to see this situation. The brothers said goodbye and left to arrange a banquet for tonight.

It should be said that in this short period of communication, both sides have achieved their own goals, especially for Zheng Zhilong, which exceeded expectations.

This made him full of confidence in the future that the Zheng family would flourish again.

The side hall of the Governor's Mansion was stuffed with gifts from the Zheng family, and valuables such as sumwood, spices, ivory, rhino horn, and gold were spread out everywhere like big road goods, and the Qin family was sorting out and registering.

Qin Haoming took the gift list and hurriedly glanced at it, and secretly shook his head.

The Zheng family's gifts are not only valuable, but also huge, with a value of at least hundreds of thousands. In order to tie up with themselves, the Zheng family can be said to have done everything they could, sparing no expense.

Everything is for stability, to maintain the status quo, so that he can continue to be a rich man.

In history, Zheng Zhilong, a young hero, misjudged the situation in middle age and surrendered to Jiannu. As a result, he was embarrassed in his old age, and finally ended up with a tragic end of death and laughter.

Although his son Zheng Chenggong has always had a hard time, he is still free, and later his descendants became the de facto rulers of Taiwan.

In fact, if Zheng Zhilong neither helped the Ming nor surrendered to the Qing Dynasty at that time, and continued to distance himself from Taiwan and crisscross the ocean, then the Qing army, which lacked a naval division, would not be able to help him at all, and he would eventually be a free-spirited overlord at sea.

If we make a little more progress and go south to Southeast Asia, perhaps the world history of future generations will be very different.

It's a pity, after all, the vision pattern is not broad enough, and he misleads the country and himself, and lets Jiannu pick up the cheap in vain.

As twilight fell, the lights came on, and Fuzhou Mansion once again ushered in a lively night.

On the fifth floor of Yushan Restaurant, dozens of arm-thick lamps and candles are burning, illuminating the entire lobby to the fullest.

In the private room outside, the Zheng Zhihu brothers accompanied him, and Qin Haoming's guards pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and they were happy.

More than a dozen beautiful maids are like butterflies among thousands of flowers, constantly interspersed among the people, pouring wine and food for them, extremely extravagant.

Compared with their wild and rude, in another private room fifty steps away, Qin Haoming and Zheng Zhilong, dressed in literati attire, like old friends who have not seen each other for many years, raised their glasses and whispered.

"Yes, yes, the end will definitely support Qin Governor to build a merchant ship plan, Shijing Shipyard will start construction non-stop, and the task of two thousand merchant ships and ten ships will be completed within two years."

Taking the crab legs peeled by the pretty maid, Zheng Zhilong gently licked the crab roe on the shell, and held a brocade handkerchief in his left hand, wiping the paste yellow on his mouth from time to time.

The Zheng family established a shipyard in Nan'an Shijing, built military and commercial dual-purpose ships, built three or five ships a year, and repaired dozens of ships, which can be said to be second to none in Fujian.

"Happy, today and General Zheng can be said to be familiar at first sight, this governor toasts a drink, and thanks the general for everything he has done for Daming."

Qin Haoming raised his glass and saluted.

The Zheng family needed his help to stabilize the situation and avoid getting into trouble with the imperial court. And he needs the financial and material resources of the Zheng family to quickly develop his own strength, especially the ships and sailors needed by the navy.

Now, it's their honeymoon period.

After drinking the wine in the cup, the two laughed, quite hating each other.

The gentle mountain breeze blows along the windows, making it very pleasant. After drinking, the two of them didn't touch their fingers, and all of them were fed by the maids around them.

Corruption, what a fucking corruption.

Qin Haoming burped comfortably and shook his head, trying to dispel the slightly upwelling alcohol and make him more conscious.

Today, everything went according to his train of thought, and while he was happy, he couldn't help but drink a little to the fullest.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

At the end, I will salute Qin Du again. ”

Zheng Zhilong's face is like a crown of jade, his facial features are exquisite, his red phoenix eyes, his sword eyebrows are long, his black beard is as good as his chest, and the mountain breeze blows gently.

Compared with those little white faces who are habitually applying powder and applying powder, although this middle-aged man does not apply powder, he can still be called peerless, and the so-called celebrities and gentlemen are probably like this.

"Good! Please! ”

Qin Haoming laughed and took the lead in raising his glass and drinking it all.

"General Zheng, this governor wants to know, what do you want in your life?"

Putting down the wine glass, Qin Haoming asked with a smile on the meaning of the wine.

"Alas, I don't hide it from Qin Du, an official has been down-and-out since he was a child, he has been practicing maritime affairs since he was a child, his temperament is free, he doesn't like to read, he has strength, he is a good boxer, he is relaxed and indulgent, he gradually wanders, and gradually loses his father's love.

After wandering on the sea, he worked hard, and by chance he made a difference.

Despite this, I always yearn for Daming in my heart, and then fortunately Lord Xiong appreciated it and recruited an official.

Now, stepping on the land, Yiguan has nothing to do with his current life, but only hopes to pass it on safely and steadily.

In order not to let his children and grandchildren be ashamed because Zheng had wandered the sea, Zheng Mou has asked his sister-in-law Sen'er to worship the great Confucian Qian Shilang as his teacher. ”

Seeing Qin Haoming ask, Zheng Zhilong suddenly sighed before telling his thoughts.

That's right, Qin Haoming nodded after hearing this, knowing it well, this should be the true thought in his heart. As for the changes in the future, after all, no one could have imagined.

Now everyone in the Ming Dynasty, how can they think that the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of Jiannu?

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong is still in a state of submission to the Ming Dynasty now, and has no dissent.

"General Zheng, Bendu has an idea, I hope you can work together to make it a reality."

After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong, who was opposite Qin Hao Ming Dynasty, said.

"Please Governor Qin speak up, and the general will definitely cooperate."

The two have talked so far, Zheng Zhilong is basically unwary of Qin Haoming.

"Ben Du thought about it, and with the merits of the general Ping Yuekou, the conquest of Shengli, the repulsion of the invasion of Xiaheyi, and the elimination of the sea thief Liu Xiang, the position of a chief military officer could not be escaped.

It's a pity that in the past, Xu was the imperial court had scruples, so the general never made an inch.

Now there is Chen Yishan in Fujian, I am afraid it is not easy to operate. However, since the Baidu Division of Guangdong, the position has been vacant, I wonder if the general has a heart? ”

Speaking of this, Qin Haoming calmly raised his wine glass and looked at Zheng Zhilong.

It's just that the slightly trembling hands betrayed him, indicating that his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

"Please advise Qin Du!"

Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened, looking at Qin Haoming in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that such a good thing would suddenly befall him.

Panting and silent for a few breaths, he stood up and threw himself on the ground and nodded towards Qin Haoming.

It's no wonder that he reacted like this, Da Ming Wen Guiwu Qing has penetrated into his bones. Although he has a heavy army, what is the use?

Because the rank of the coastal defense guerrilla general was too small, although he used a lot of money to bribe the Fujian officialdom, the contempt of the civilian officials still occurred from time to time.

As for saying that the troops in his hands are just self-preservation, and when there is no persecution or cornering, he really does not want to turn his face with the Ming court.

Enter!

Seeing this situation, the boulder in Qin Haoming's heart fell to the ground, and then he was ecstatic.

I am most afraid that Zheng Zhilong will be defensive against him, or as he said, he has no desires and no desires, he is very satisfied with his current life, and he is reluctant to leave Fujian, so it will make things tricky.

Now, not only did he test Zheng Zhilong's intentions, but also made things smoother.

"Don't do that, general, please listen to the words of the governor and see if the general can do it."

Qin Haoming stood up and walked over, picked up Zheng Zhilong, who was bowing his head, and said with a smile.
