Chapter 786: Clever Zheng Chenggong
Among these people, the most noticeable to Su Tiancheng is Zheng Chenggong, no matter what, Zheng Chenggong is a big hero in history, although history has changed, but Su Tiancheng doesn't want to bury this hero, but Zheng Gongcheng is still very young at this time, less than seventeen years old, and his identity is just a student, the reason why Su Tiancheng decided to let Zheng Chenggong still return to Fujian is to think that Zheng Chenggong can still make contributions, at this time, Taiwan is still occupied by the Dutch and the Spaniards, no accident, The Dutch and the Spaniards are fighting for control of Taiwan, the Dutch landed on the island of Taiwan in 1625, used it as a stronghold, and occupied it with Spain, to the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the two sides fought in order to dominate Taiwan, and finally the Dutch won the victory, controlled the whole of Taiwan, and later defeated the Dutch, and recovered Taiwan, which was the Zheng Chenggong in front of him.
Seeing Zheng Chenggong for the first time, Su Tiancheng didn't have any special impression of this young man with clear eyebrows, maybe Zheng Zhilong was present, Zheng Chenggong didn't say anything, but judging from his face, Zheng Chenggong seemed to be thinking about something.
After all, Zheng Chenggong is still a young man, what he thinks of is to seek fame through his own efforts, although he has also been influenced by Zheng Zhilong, but he has not lived with Zheng Zhilong for a long time, such a young man is still worth fighting for, besides, a person's character can also be confirmed from historical events, after crossing, Su Tiancheng came into contact with many people, for example, Sun Chengzong, who has passed away, is indeed a great husband, and people like Wu Sangui are very clear.
Su Tiancheng was still very happy to be able to successfully submit Zheng Zhilong, and achieved unexpected results through the combination of grace and power, especially when Tian Chuansong spoke. Zheng Zhilong has a lot of respect for his wife, after all, when he was a poor guy, he received great help from Tian Chuansong, if it weren't for Tian Chuansong's help, Zheng Zhilong would not be in today's situation, from this aspect. Su Tiancheng knew that he had succeeded for the most part, and the next thing was to rely on time and persuasion to make Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong completely obedient.
After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Su Tiancheng immediately made arrangements to arrange a separate place for Zheng Zhilong's family, except for the necessary sergeants waiting outside the mansion, no one was allowed to enter the mansion without permission and disturb Zheng Zhilong's family.
For Su Tiancheng's arrangement. Zheng Zhilong will be suspicious, no matter what, not long ago, they were still opponents, although they were defeated, but Fujian's power has not completely disappeared, could it be that Su Tiancheng is so relieved, after entering the mansion. Zheng Zhilong found that although this mansion was a little smaller. It can't be compared with his mansion in Quanzhou, but the conditions inside are very good, as for his family, he has already been arranged in this mansion, and there are some maids and subordinates waiting in the lobby, and the sergeants who led these maids and subordinates to meet Zheng Zhilong. said that these were all arranged by the Inspector, and if Lord Zheng was not at ease, he could not use it, and he would leave with someone.
Zheng Zhilong would definitely not refuse, he didn't know what kind of treatment he would encounter. didn't dare to refuse casually, and after the sergeant left, these maids and subordinates all gathered around Tian Chuansong, waiting for the arrangement, Zheng Zhilong took Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong and entered the study.
"Fourth brother, Fusong, what do you think of today's events?"
Zheng Zhilong rarely said such things, when he was in the mansion, he always made decisions, and the people below had to do it, and he never consulted for advice, this time he opened his mouth to ask about the situation, it can be seen that his self-confidence has suffered a big blow, and I am afraid that there will be no such self-confidence in the future.
Zheng Hongkui looked at Zheng Chenggong and spoke first.
"Big brother, this time I lost very badly, I didn't have a chance to exchange fire with the sailors of the Jiangning battalion, if it weren't for Lord Su thinking of letting me go, I'm afraid that none of the three hundred warships would be left behind, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion sailors was indeed underestimated by us, even if we tried our best and were completely prepared, we might not be able to defeat the Jiangning Battalion Sailors, their giant warships and patrol ships were too terrifying, especially the guns on the warships could directly blow up our warships, I have never seen such artillery, Fortunately, Lord Su didn't think about exterminating our Zheng family, I think it's okay to listen to Lord Su's words. ”
Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Chenggong, although Zheng Chenggong was not very old, but judging from Su Tiancheng's attitude just now, it seemed that he had a good impression of Zheng Chenggong.
After Zheng Hongkui finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong also spoke.
"Father, the child thinks that what the fourth uncle said makes sense, the child just saw Lord Su, and it feels very unusual, Lord Su has an elegant atmosphere, and there is also a decisive masculinity, the child is still the first time to see it, Lord Su is the eye of the palace test list, Wen Taowu is complete, the child thinks, with Lord Su, our family will not suffer, along the way, the child has thought, our Zheng family has a great influence in Quanzhou, this influence, I am afraid that there will be some side effects, the emperor and the court have opinions, in this case, It is beneficial for the family to do what Master Su said. ”
Zheng Zhilong nodded, in fact, he also had such an idea, he was defeated by the king, he was originally at the disposal of Su Tiancheng, even if Su Tiancheng killed his whole family, I am afraid that no one in the court will blame, but Su Tiancheng has foresight, taking into account the situation along the coast of Fujian, and Su Tiancheng is so young, imagine how much ability the young Su Tiancheng once led the Jiangning battalion and exterminated hundreds of thousands of rogues, so that the Houjin Tartars did not dare to underestimate it.
Zheng Zhilong was about to speak, when Zheng Chenggong spoke again.
"Father, fourth uncle, the child wants to meet Master Su alone."
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui looked at Zheng Chenggong, there was already something wrong with Zheng Chenggong's brain, it was good to be treated so preferentially, what qualifications does the Zheng family have now, asking to see Su Tiancheng.
"Fusong, will Master Su meet you?"
Zheng Hongkui also spoke.
"Fusong, don't have such thoughts, lest you be reprimanded."
Zheng Chenggong shook his head.
"The child thinks no, if Lord Su is willing to see the child, the child thinks that my Zheng family can follow Master Su to make contributions, if Lord Su is not willing to see the child, the child thinks that the father and the fourth uncle still have other plans."
Zheng Zhilong pondered for a moment and nodded approvingly.
Zheng Chenggong walked to the door of the mansion and told the sergeant waiting at the door that he asked to see Master Su Tiancheng, and the waiting sergeant was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and went to report.
Half an hour later, Zheng Chenggong, under the leadership of the sergeant, directly entered the Governor's Mansion.
Su Tiancheng was waiting in the wing, and after seeing Zheng Chenggong come in, he spoke first.
"Zheng Chenggong, what do you want to see me for?"
"I just listened to what the adults said, and I felt a lot, and there are some things that I want to ask the adults."
After all, Zheng Chenggong is a scholar, and in terms of speech, he is more gentle than Zheng Zhilong, Su Tiancheng nodded and did not speak.
"I have been living in Fujian, and this time the family has encountered a lot of things, but also because my father was confused for a while, thanks to the mercy of the adults, and I am not to blame in the past, I thought that if the Zheng family can all return to Fujian, they will definitely obey the orders of the adults."
Su Tiancheng looked at Zheng Chenggong and suddenly smiled.
"Zheng Chenggong, it seems that your idea is good, I want to use this way to spy on my attitude, what happened before, the reason why I didn't mention it is because these things, even if they are mentioned, everyone is unhappy, and the atmosphere is embarrassing, second, as you said, your father was wrong first, he shouldn't have Long Wangshu, and third, my thoughts are also different, on the side of the couch, how can I allow others to snore. Since you talked about this matter, I will give you a very clear answer, it is impossible for your father to return to Fujian, let you and your fourth uncle go back to Fujian, I have also seriously thought about it, you are a scholar, you have merit and fame, you should understand some basic truths, besides, you and your peak fourth uncle, preparing to participate in this year's township examination, you are also thinking about glorifying your ancestors, not all such selfish thoughts. ”
"You are very smart, inherited your father's advantages, know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, on the one hand, take into account your own interests, on the other hand, focus on the country's overall plans, I hope you can adhere to these advantages, I never approve of pedantic allegiance, your own interests can not be guaranteed, and what kind of allegiance can be talked about, that is self-deception, but one thing you have to understand, you need to have a bottom line to be a man, some bottom lines can not be broken, you and your fourth uncle returned to Fujian, everything must focus on the overall situation, and you must obey Xiong Zijian's arrangement, otherwise, I will not be polite, Whether it's in the court or the strength of the army, I don't like to kill people, but I have killed countless people, including hundreds of thousands of rogues, including the Houjin Tartars in the north, I kill people for a reason, you remember this. ”
"After returning to Fujian, you and your fourth uncle can consider the interests of the family, you can consider your own interests, I will not object to you doing this, and Lord Xiong will not object, as for how to grasp it, how to do a good job of obedience, you obey Lord Xiong's arrangement, and you have to think more yourself."
"I have always encouraged everyone to have independent ideas, no matter what you do, you must know in your heart, you can come to see me, it means that you really want to do things well in the future, my advice to you is to study hard, pass the township test, and really make your family strong."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong suddenly knelt on his knees.
You must know that Zheng Chenggong is a person with a meritorious reputation, and there is no need to do this at all.
"My lord, I understand, thank you for your teachings, and I will be loyal to you in the next life." (To be continued......)
