If it really comes to that day, whether to switch to Zheng Xi or not, Zheng Mingjun can't make up his mind, after all, such a major matter has to be decided by his eldest brother Zheng Tai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Tai went to see Dong Xian before leaving, and Dong Xian's reliance and entrustment on him made him even more undoubted that Zheng Jing would be unfavorable to him. During the conversation, Dong Xian mentioned that in case the land division was defeated, the water division should plot to seize the east and think that it would be a foothold. Zheng Tai said that this matter has been prepared, he has asked He Bin to sneak back to Dongfan, contact the natives in Dongfan, and set up a military port in Penghu, hoarding a lot of military rations, if the land army is defeated, then the naval division will immediately use Penghu as a base to attack Dongfan. Seeing that Zheng Tai had arranged the retreat properly, Dong Xian was relieved, and when she heard that her son had summoned Zheng Tai to Xinghua, she told Zheng Tai to protect her son, so that Zheng Tai was not suspicious.

The next day, Zheng Tai immediately led his younger brother Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zhangxu and other close generals to Xinghua Fucheng. As soon as he entered Xinghua City, he went to see Zheng Jing.

"Uncle!"

Knowing that Zheng Tai was coming, Zheng Jing, accompanied by Chen Yonghua, Huang Xu and others, personally went out of the house to meet him.

"Domain Lord!"

Although Zheng Tai is Zheng Jing's cousin, Zheng Jing has already established himself as the Prince of Min, and in front of outsiders, he has seen Zheng Jing with the same etiquette as he used to see Zheng Sen. Zheng Jing smiled and helped Zheng Tai up and invited him into the mansion. The banquet had already been set up in the house, and after everyone was seated, Zheng Jing first praised Zheng Tai's defeat of Liu Guoxuan at sea, and Chen Yonghua and others also praised it to the fullest, and said that Zheng Tai was unsatisfactory. Outside, a group of personal soldiers brought by Zheng Tai were arranged in the courtyard, and there was also a banquet to entertain them. Zheng Mingjun was worried that Zheng Jing was uneasy and kind, so he asked Zheng Zhangxu to take someone outside, and if there was any movement inside, he would come to the rescue immediately. He also whispered to Zheng Zhangxu and the others not to drink too much, so as not to make a mistake.

In the middle of the seat, there were already three glasses of wine, and Hong Xu briefly talked about the recent military situation.

When the naval division was fighting, Zheng Xi and Zheng Jing's soldiers and horses had already fought three times in the area of Xinghua Mansion, because the people who attacked Fuzhou with Zheng Sen were the elite of Zheng Army's land warfare, so their overall strength was stronger than that of Zheng Army who stayed in Jinxia. Although Fuzhou was defeated, losing thousands of soldiers and horses, and many generals fell to Zheng Jing, there were still more than 30,000 elite soldiers under the command of Zheng Zheng. And Zheng Jing brought less than 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jinxia, so after the two armies fought, Zheng Jing lost two formations in a row, and when the third battle, Zheng Jing gritted his teeth and sent out all the 300 ironclad elite soldiers in his hand, and immediately disrupted Zheng Raid's department, which can save a game, or it is a defeat of three formations in a row.

Zheng Jing said very worriedly: "Huang Zhao and Xiao Gongchen are very difficult, the previous two defeats were both defeated at the hands of these two, I asked my uncle to come here, I want to ask my uncle to clean up these two thieves for me." ”

"Don't worry, the lord of the domain, with me Zheng Tai here, Huang and Xiao are insignificant."

Zheng Tai is still full of confidence, Huang Zhao and Xiao Gongchen may be capable in the eyes of others, but they are pawns in the eyes of Zheng Tai. Among the generals who support Zheng Xian now, only Liu Guoxuan makes him look at it, but he has been defeated in his own hands before.

"With my uncle's words, my heart is settled."

Zheng Jing got up and gave Zheng Tai a glass, and when the wine glass was put down, he said another thing in a different way. This incident made Zheng Tai's heart unhappy, because Zheng Jing actually started the idea of the money he deposited in Japan.

After the failure of Zheng Sen's Northern Expedition last year, Zheng Tai lost confidence in Zheng's cause, so he sent a large amount of silver money to Japan without Zheng Sen's knowledge, just in case. This silver money was deposited in the Tang Tongshi Office in Nagasaki, Japan, with a total of more than 1.4 million taels of silver. Originally, Zheng Tai was in charge of the Jinxia Household Department and managed the money for Zheng Sen, so Zheng Sen didn't know where the money went, and Zheng Jing only learned a few days ago that Zheng Tai had secretly saved such a large amount of money in Japan.

Although Jinxia has the benefits of sea trade, because of the continuous use of troops, especially last year, Zheng Sen's Northern Expedition almost exhausted the savings of Jinxia, and later used troops in Fuzhou, which made the current Jinxia silver tightened, Zheng Jing no longer had much money in his hands, so he wanted Zheng Tai to take back the silver deposit from Japan to solve the urgent need.

"I deposited a sum of money to Japan, but the amount is not much, only three or four hundred thousand taels, and it won't help much if I get it back. In addition, it is necessary to send personnel to Japan, and it will be delayed for several months to come and go, so it is better to find another way to pay for military salaries. ”

Zheng Tai, who has always loved money like his life, was willing to spit out the fat in his mouth, rejected Zheng Jing on the spot, and claimed that the deposit of silver was not one million taels as Zheng Jing thought, but only three or four hundred thousand taels.

When Zheng Jing heard this, he was silent and only stared at Zheng Tai. Chen Yonghua, Hong Xu and others also put down their chopsticks, and their eyes were not good.

Zheng Mingjun's heart suddenly sudden, and he subconsciously got up, but found that the eldest brother Zheng Tai next to him shook his body, and then his eyes couldn't open. Zheng Mingjun was startled, stretched out his hand to support Zheng Tai, and then saw Zheng Jing suddenly get up and arch his hand towards Zheng Tai: "Uncle, I'm sorry!" After speaking, he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

Drop the cup!

Zheng Mingjun was taken aback, and dozens of soldiers with bright armor and long knives had rushed out of the back hall.

"What is the feudal lord doing here?"

Although Zheng Tai was dizzy and his eyes were about to close, his mind was still a little clear, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw a group of soldiers rushing out.

Zheng Jing didn't answer him, but only snorted coldly: "Take it!" ”

Zheng Tai knew that the big thing was not good, and he wanted to draw his sword to resist, but he had a terrible headache, his hands and feet were weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Big brother!"

Zheng Mingjun shouted angrily and drew his sword to block Zheng Jing's own soldiers who rushed up. He was already on guard in his heart, and since he entered the banquet, on the grounds of stomach pain, no matter how Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua persuaded them, they didn't take a sip, and at this time, in order to save the eldest brother, he also risked his life to resist. The two Zheng Jing soldiers who rushed up saw Zheng Mingjun resisting, and one of the soldiers swung a knife to cut him, but Zheng Mingjun was cut to the ground with a knife. Another pro-soldier swung his knife and slashed again, but his neck was slashed by Zheng Mingjun's sharp blade, and blood gushed like a spring.

"Kill him, kill him!"

Seeing that Zheng Mingjun killed two of his subordinates in a row, Zheng Jing was also furious, and ordered his own soldiers to surround him and slash Zheng Mingjun to death. As soon as the sound of fighting in the house came out, Zheng Zhangxu outside immediately knew that it was not good, and only many of his subordinates were ordered, and they secretly remained vigilant, and the rest of the soldiers were completely different. Sergeant Zheng Jing, who was drinking with them, suddenly attacked, and was caught off guard and suffered many casualties. Zheng Zhangxu ran to the sea with his eldest brother in his early years, and his subordinates were also really kung fu, and his subordinates also had more than a dozen samurai recruited from Japan, but they responded calmly and blocked the culling of those Zheng soldiers.

"Stop them, I'll save Master Hou!"

After shouting in the Japanese language, Zheng Zhangxu led people to rush into the inner hall. Zheng Mingjun struggled to support it, and when he saw the third brother bring someone over, his spirits were lifted. Zheng Jing saw that the people outside failed to take down Zheng Zhangxu, but instead made them rush in, shocked and angry.

Chen Yonghua pulled out his long sword, crossed in front of Zheng Jing, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

On the outer wall of the courtyard, dozens of archers suddenly appeared, and arrows rained down, and more than a dozen Zheng Tai's personal soldiers were shot into hedgehogs on the spot. Seeing this, the rest of the pro-soldiers all rushed into the hall and mingled with Zheng Jing's pro-soldiers.
